May Li ORB Beit Goods For Least Money, A PECULIAR CASE. Twelve Quarts of Fluid Drawn From Abdomen of Child. John Porter; aged three years, of Forest City, was yesterday operated upon at the Lackawanna hospital for abnormal abdomenal development. Twelve quarts of fluid were drawn from his abdomen during the operation. Previous to the operation the child's girth measured jforty four inches.

The case is a very peculiar one and has attracted much attention and study among the medical men. Until a year ago the child was very much the same as other children, then it was observed that gradually it was becoming stouter and stouter and finally the parents became alarmed and brought him to the hospital. The operation so far appears to have been a success. MARRIAGE OF MISS ELEANOR WILSON D0UD United to Fisher Hazzard Leitenring of Dunbar, by Rev. Robert Rows at the Bride's Home.

Presi dent F. G. Humphrey presided. In his opening speech he congratulated the members on the large attendance which filled the entire main floor of the auditorium and half of the balcony. He spoke of the hospitality and cour tesy of the different railroads which have helped to make their visit to this region such a tremendous success.

His suggestion that a vote of thanks be extended to these roads was made passed. A motion was also made that a committee composed of the officers and members of the executive committee be appointed to draw up this vote of thanks, a copy of which will be sent to the Interested companies, and will be signed by every member of the association. Resolutions were passed on the death of Member W. C. Mason of Connecticut, who was also a wholesale coal dealer in New York In the unavoidable absence of Mayor Connell.

Secretary Seamans of the Scranton Board of Trade addressed the members and bid them welcome to this city. He thanked them for the honor of the visit. In part he spoke as fol lows: Gentlemen of the Retail Coal Dealers' Association of the New England States: It gives me special pleasure to wel come to our city body of gentlemen engaged in the marketing of the particular commodity on which the wealth and prosperity of our city and valley Is based. While your efforts are directed to wards the spiling of anthracite coal, I do not doubt but that to many of you the home of coul is somewhat of an unknown land. We wana you to know us better before you leave, and carry back with you to your New England homes the good impressions of our hustling city which wo.

with all mod esty, think we deserve. As I have had to remind other visitors in tho past. Scranton, while more largely given over to coal mining than to any other single Industry, is by no means devoted to or dependent on this business alone. Within our twenty square miles of area you will find as great a diversity of Industries as are encountered in any other city of similar proportions. and while your visit here at this time pertains particularly to tne coal trade I hope you will also find opportunity to acquaint yourselves with somo of our other great industries.

A fact which may surprise many of you i that Scranton's foundations were laid not on the production of coal, but on the manufacture of Iron: and in our curliest days the mining of eon I was only nn incidental to tne preparation of Iron for the market. Latterly, Scranton has ceased to be an Iron producing city, but meanwhile the influx of new industries has caused the cl.ty to advance in industrial importance way beyond its state during the best days of the Iron trade. Lackawanna county, of which Scranton is the me tropolis, while comparatively small In nrea. Is in weatlh and population one of itho greatest counties in the great commonwealth of Pennsylvania. About twenty millions of tons of anthracite are taken from under Its surface every year, and about thirty thousand miners are employed In the Industry In this cltv and vulley.

Our growth has been rapid and vet substantial: and while coal mining re mains our great occupation, yet the es tablishment of many varied industries has made us more independent of the coal business than nny other city or town in the anthracite field. This has been conclusively proven at times of protruded Idleness in the mines, when the mercantile Interests were nble to continue business without serious embarrassment. The mining of anthracite coal was not undertaken as eirly in Scranton ns In other pnrts of the field. It wns not until after 1810 that nny coal was mln here, while farther up the valley, st CarbondiilJ, it becume a considerable nard's bid was $1,875 and was the only ner accomplishments a superb motion by F.

We do not buy Coffee in "car load" lots, but have just purchased 10,000 lbs. in the green berry.

We can tell you of a prominent merchant in Philadelphia selling this blend in I lb. tins at 40c per lb. We can give you hundreds of testimonials as to its excellence, and we want, many more. For Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday we will offer COUR SEN'S "up to date" Coffee at 35c per lb. and a rebate of xoc cash on each lb.

Cmme Industry several years prior to that time. The construction of the Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western rail road in the fifties gave a great im petus to the mining business. For many years subsequent to the discovery of anthracite on the Mauch Chunk moun tain in 1791 its value as a fuel prod uct was not aDoreciatea. ana tne ef forts and struggles of the few men of that early time (who did understand its value) to secure its Introduction as a substitute for wood constitutes one of the most Interesting chapters in the earlv industrial historv of the country. The relatively small area covered by the anthracite field as compared to the wide domain of bituminous coal and its superlative advantages as a domestic fuel have lent to these regions an industrial individuality which is as thoroughly understood by us who live here as by the outside world, and the increasing value of our great natural wealth is so keenly realized that the effort is being constantly put forth to save and economize in every detail of Us mining and manufacture.

The wash ing of coal and the utilization of the smaller sizes, neither of which was done but a few years ago, is a manifestation of this idea which now gen erally prevails in tne coal industry. While you gentlemen are engaged in the selling and distribution of our product I believe that many of you will discover something Interesting ana new to you connected with its pro auction. I trust that your visit to Scranton may be most enjoyable and I hope that you will improve your stay here and learn all you can, not only of the an ithracite production, but of the other great industries which make up the metropolis of the hard coal field of America. At the conclusion of his speech Sec retary Seamans was extended a vote of thanks at the suggestion of the chairman of the evening. Several vo cal selections by a double quartet of local miners of the D.

Lehigh valley and Hillside Coal companies en tertained the pleased audience. President Humphrey in thanking the' (Continued on Page Eight.) THE ROGERS CASE. Rev. Mr. Batsman's Comment on the Action of the School Board.

To the Editor of The Republican: Dear Sir A paragraph appeared in the papers on Tuesday morning an nouncing that Mrs. Jones of No. 26, public school, Mr. Stone of No. 33 and Mr.

Rogers of No. 28, would not be re appointed In charge of their respective schools for the ensuing year for the reason that they had exercised undue severity in their treatment of the pu pils under their charge. I write more particularly concerning Mr. Rogers, because he has been known to me more Intimately as a schoolmas ter from the fact that two of my children have been, and. one now is, under his care.

I simply desire to say that I do not for one moment believe that he is other than a kind, faithful and firm disciplinarian who very prop erly insists on having his own way with his school and in getting his own way sacrifices nothing which is due from him to the children of the school. But there is a far more important question involved in this matter than the reputation and living of the teach ers of the city; Important as these are, shall the school teachers of this city be free within certain, proper and clearly defined limits to exercise nec essary discipline in their schools, or are they to be at the mercy of any ir responsible and dissatisfied ratepayer who thinks that his children should receive special treatment. I do not mean that the teachers should be placed beyond criticism; that would be neither wise nor just, but they must be pro tected against malice and injustice, for they are trying to the best of their power to render a service to the pub lic which Is as delicate and difficult as It is important and thankless, and so far as I have observed they have succeeded, under all the circumstances, remarkably well. There can, of course, be only one opinion concerning the method by which the displeasure of the board of control was made evident to these prin cipals, and that is 'to condemn it. I now suggest that an inquiry be made Into the facts of the case (it will not take long) In order that the wrong which I feel persuaded has been done may be promptly repaired.

The four ladles and gentlemen whose names have been brought before the public in so Insidious a manner can afford to endure the wrong, but the board of control and the city of Scranton cannot afford to carry the odium pf it. Francis R. Bateman. Green Ridge. CASE OF PROF.

STONE. To the People of the Ninth Ward. The fact that Mr. Daniel A. stone was not reappointed principal of No.

33 school was as much of a surprise to me as it seems to be to people of ithe Ninth ward. I consider Mr. Stone one of the most competent teachers in the city and a man of the highest character. I make this statement on account of the numerous inquiries I have received as to why I did not have Mr. Stone re appointed.

EXCITING CHASE. Two Boyt Attempt to Escape From Al derman'a Office. Much excitement prevailed about Washington avenue at noon yesterday when the pedestrians saw two boys rushing madly down the street pur sued by Special Officer O'Brien of the L. and W. R.

R. company, who brandished a drawn revolver, dis charging it twice. The boys were Thomas Thompson of Simpson and Thomas Grady of Bel mont street, Carbondale, Both were ar rested as runaways who were found yesterday morning in a passenger coach of the Lackawanna railroad. They were taken to an alderman's office awaiting the arrival of their par ents, when at an opportune moment they bolted from the office into the street, down Washington avenue, closely pursued by Officer O'Brien. His prisoners would not listen to commands, so Officer O'Brien fired two shots into the air, attempting to frighten them but to no purpose.

They rushed down the street and would no doubt have escaped had not Constable Mitchell stopped their flight and handed them over to the propor authorities. tin vou know why John Benore Is called the youngest man In Scranton?

TROUBLE DUE TO A FEUD The Ridge at Archbald was last evening the scene of a thrilling knife duel in which one man was killed and another so badly injured that he will die. The participants in the duel were as follows: Stephen Lemongali, an Italian, stabbed in the heart and about the body, died almost Instantly, aged between thirty and thirty five years, married and the father of two children. Peter Brumentl, Italian, stabbed about the body, and dying, aged be tween thirty five and forty years, mar ried and the father of three children. Yesterday was pay day at the Ray mond shaft at the Ridge and both of the men concerned in the duel worked there. Both had been drinking freely and judging from events there was a feud between them though no one seems to know anything about it.

At 7 o'clock last evening the men met in front of the saloon of Angelo Famargoffi. Brumentl had been In the saloon five minutes before the killing. Famargoffi says that he knew nothing about the affair until he saw the crowd running from the saloon Into the street. He looked out and was in time to see Lemongali backing away from his opponent. He shivered for a mln ute and then fell dead.

People who saw the entire affair say that when the men met in front of the saloon few words passed between them. There was a flash of knives and they were at it. Brumentl seemed to be the most dexterous of the two for he sue ceeded in stabbing Lemongali twice while his opponent only succeeded In sinking his knife In his body once. Officer McHale of the Archbald police was soon on the scene and learned what he could of the affair. Dr.

Budd of Peckvllle was called to attend the wounded man but gave little hope of his recovery. Coroner Stein was noti fied and the body was then taken to the home. The Ridge, which is used to or dinary scenes of violence, was greatly shaken over this affair. THE DEFENSE OF CAPTAIN KAMBECK Has Not 8ettled With the State Be cause He Was Prevented by Long and Critioal Illness. A story was printed in the Times of last evening to the effect that the state military authorities at Harrls burg have brought suit there against Former Captain J.

W. Kambeck of this city to recover more than twenty two hundred dollars In funds and equip ment owed the state which it Is claimed that has never been accounted for by the former commander of Com pany B. Captain Kambeck was, the first of last January, stricken down with Inflammatory rheumatism and the attack was most critical, his life being de spaired of for a long time. He Is Just able to be about now, but has been unable to do any work to date. This, he last evening stated, was the reason why he had been unable to effcet a settlement with the state.

In convers ation with a Republican man Captain Kambeck said: 'Owing to my illness I have been unable to send in my report, which will show that I have a receipt for every dollar of state money that I have ever handled. This report of mine Is now ready to send and will be forwarded to Harrlsburg Inside of a few days. So far as equipment goes, every bit of that will be accounted for. The state military authorities have evidently act ed without knowledge of the fact of my long and critical Illness and I am certain that just as soon as my report has been received and the news of my illness has been communicated to them they will drop the proceedings that have been Instituted and the Incident will be closed."

Watklns gave the third and last of his three great recitals last night at Powell's before an audience that crowded the music rooms to the doors. Long before the programme begun the large number of seats provided for patrons were exhausted and many persons stood during the performance. Mr. Watklns might well feel satisfied with the work of the last year which culminated in this recital. In the three which have been recently given were represented! the work of one hundred and fifty pupils, a large number of whom will be recognized as showing great promise.

He will leave for Europe early next month and it Is hoped that he will take a well earned rest and return much Invigorated by his trip. While Mr. Watklns' success In training big choruses has long been appreciated here, it must be said that he is also singularly successful In the soloists which he presents so frequently to the public of this region. The Mozart quartet did some excellent work last night and there were many beautiful solos. One of the most attractive voices was that of Miss Susan Burns, whose two soprano solos, "Thou Art to Me," and "Spring," by Chadwlck, were among the best efforts of the evening.

Her voice, is one of much strength and sweetness and it holds rare promise of future improvement. Mr. Ned Connolly, son of the late Judge Connolly, gave a genuine surprise, to the audience by his artistic rendering of "The Last Watch," In a superb baritone. Mr. John Burnett was another whose baritone voice afforded much pleasure In the great solo, Thou Sublime Sweet Evening Star," by Wagner.

Miss Anna Wilson gave a charming Interpretation of Liza Lehmann's "You and Her 'voice, a very sweet mezzo, has the lovely contralto quality which is so rich and full and which was particularly charming In this selection. Miss Leonore Oliver was very happy in the oriental solo, "A Slave Song," by Del Riego, and Miss Etta Mann gave a particularly pleasing interpre tation of uowen Swallows. Miss Loretta Crossln, satisfying alike in appearance as in her art of song, sang two dainty little numbers, the pathetic Asnes of Hoses, and Forever and a Day," by Sobieski. Miss Katherine Foote sang with brilliant effect, "Vis Ions," by Vanucini. Miss Gertrude Morris, who has developed a remarkable register under Mr.

Watklns' in struction, gave a delicious Cowen number and a little song bv Wllloby. Miss Jennie Patten, in a limpid, sweet soprano, sang a delightful waltz song, by Wolson, and Mr. Frank Cofield made an excellent impression in that splendid tenor solo, Pinsutl's "Queen of the Earth." The contralto voices were all es pecially satisfactory. Miss Genevieve Gibbons has one of unusual power and richness. She sang exquisitely, "Beloved, it is Morn," Mr.

Harry G. Murphy was equally pleasing In his rendering of "You," by Robyn, In a fine, round baritone. There were no encores, the length and the character of the programme precluding any repetition of numbers, but there were many and fervent re calls.
