Mary Ford died Friday evening as the result of injuries that she received on last Wednesday while on her way to the school. She was standing In front of Evans Powell's shoe store on South Main avenue at about 8:20 when a large Newfoundland dog coming down the street on a run struck her and she was precipitated to the stone walk with terrible force, and as a result was rendered unconscious.

She was taken into the shoe store and then to her home where Drs. Walker, Roos and Dolan were immediately summoned.

Upon Thy name we call, As nation now; 01 save our ruler. Lord, We pray with one accord By Thy Almighty word, His strength renew." APPROACHING MARRIAGE.

The announcement of the marriage of Miss Ida D. James, a popular young lady of this side, to Mr. Charles S. Hoyt of Ehrenfeld, on Monday, Sept. 2, is one of the surprises which comes very early in the fair.

Miss James is one of the best known your.g women in this section and has participated in some of the most important social events of this city. Mr. Hoyt has been a resident of Scranton for time and while here gained many THIN PEOPLE should try Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Loss of flesh means that your food is not being properly digested.

On Saturday morning at 3:30 o'clock Offloer McColllgan met two girls on South Main avenue. The officer inquired why they were out at that time of the night and learned the following story: While the girls were walking from below Fittston to Plttston they met three men In a buggy who invited them to ride to there destination.

They ac ceted and in some manner the five of them packed themselves in the buggy and started for Plttston. When they reached the city the young man driving the horse assured the girls that he was going to Scranton and would1 immediately return, and so dared the girls to go with him and return later. It being rather early they agreed, and as a result got into this place about 15 minutes to 3. The men drove from Main avenue into Division street, then up Hyde Park avenue to Wymbs alley. which runs alongside of the FrankTh engine barn.

This alley is very dark and when they got into the darkest part they requested the girls to get out of the carriage, and as they drove away called back to them to wait a few minutes and they would return. The girls, as soon as the men left. wandered down to Main avenue where some time later they met the officer. As son as Mr. Colligan learned what As soon as Mr.

Colligan learned what where they were at. but as the only thing the girls knew was the fact that one of the men mentioned Division street. He started on this clew and soon found the wagon tracks' on the newly washed Hyde Park avenue pave. He followed them up till he reached the Frfinklln hose house, where ttiey turned, keeping on. he came to a barn and going in found the carriage covered with mud and the horse tired and sweaty.

He returned to the police station and told the girls that he would furnish any information they wanted if they desired to prosecute, but for the sake of their good name they would not say that they would. They left for Plttston next morning, sadder but much wiser girls. For The Republican: As a moveable citizen I have the opportunity to judge the refined quietude, or the hoodlum attitude of localities, and the worst I have happened to gaze and listen to yet Is from Garfield avenue to Hyde Park avenue on Washburn street. Especially at the corner of Sumner and Washburn. Here is where you will find the hoodlum of the day, yelping yells of commands from boys range from 7 to 14 years, using the vilest of language, whistling and yelling at open doors; sticks and stones flying through the air.

and have seen a big cobble stone rattling past a respectable woman the other night and I interferred and said they should be arrested; I had to vacate with a hurling voluble of epithets that a hoodlum only could ever use. So I made It my business to watch their proceedings at a distance the next night and found them here In full force from other streets as usual, but the programme was altered and sticks were the weapons and they were used well, with yoops and yells with, a gusto of the Indian warrior, derailing the street cars each time it passed and the cake walk dance and foul language and a yoop at open doors is the last performance for the night 10 o'clock. Well I am rather astounded at such a disorderly proceed. ings such as this, and amongst the better class of people, too. Gentlemen of the Fourth and Fifth wards I may not be long In your midst.

But I warn you all to be careful in finding out who are the companions of your dear children, you may think it is the breaker and mine boys who are the main actors in this dis graceful proceedings. I say no. The fact is. the leaders of this disorder which come from school boys are the Ineomglbles mat never toon to school worn nor tne quietude of the home; but as brigandoes of the street at night they are the right commandoes to handle the unwary, inno cent school boy, and they have carried on in this disorder beyond endurance. Must we crganize a vigilance committee all over the city to guard against this late rising brigandage which is In our midst? Kind parents of all children school teahcers and officers of the law and order take warning, the law, the guidance and teachings of life are in your hands.
