John Laughney, by his attorney, D. Carey, yesterday brought suit in trespass against the New York, Oiv tario and "Western Railroad company for $1,900 damages. Laughney owns a property in Jer xnyn in the vicinity of the Lackawanna river. He alleges that the company built a bridge across the river about 300 yeards above his property, thus changing the channel and course, This he claims resulted in the river overflowing his property and leaving thereon a quantity of culm, stones, gravel, driftwood, etc' AN UNWELCOME BATH. Two Scranton Men Narrowly Escape Drowning at Pittston, Patrick Tigue and Michael Bolton, both Scranton men, had a narrow es cape from drowning in the Susquehanna river at Pittston yesterday.

Both men were part of a gang engaged in repairing the piers of the Delaware, Lackawanna Western bridge. They were working on a flat boat at the third pier when the boat suddenly sank, precipitating them both into the water. Owing to the recent rains the river is high, and at that point the current i Js swift. Floundering to keep above water the men were swiftly carried down stream. Some boats were fastened a short distance below and their fellow workmen securing these succeeded in rescuing them.

It was not a moment too soon as Bolton was almost exhausted. Domestic Science Classes. The classes in domestic science at the Young Woman's Christian association will open the week of October 0.

16 school in the Fourteenth ward, and of No. 11 annex in the Twentieth ward, went out on strike. It was, how ever, a false alarm at both places and all will probably be in their places today. At. No.

16, which is one of the largest school buildings in the city, the supply was entirely out and the janitor, Captain McAndrew, purchased two loads of picked coal. When the dusky diamonds were being placed in the bin, the new went around that it wras "scab" coal, and with one accord about 40 of youngsters left the school in a body. In the. Twentieth ward, owing to the crowded condition of the school, two rooms at the corner of Pittston avenue and Fig street have baen rented from a Mrs. Hugg and are known as the No.

11' annex. There is no coal whatever there. In order to keep the school in ses sion yesterday Mrs. Hugg kindly gave the janitor sufficient coul to keep the stoves going. Instantly there was confusion.

A report was circulated that the Huggs had secured their' coal from the Oxford breaker and, as at No. 16 school, the pupils left the building and it was necessary to close during the morning. About half the deserters reported in the afternoon and the others will probably do so today. Nothing has yet been heard from District President Nichols regarding the conference asked for by the committee of the board of control and the opinion prevails that he has no intention of granting such a conference. The request was made several weeks ago.

Meantime the conditions at the school buildings are going from bad to worse and at those schools where there is some' coal the supply is daily getting lower. Below is given the amount of coal at the different schools, as estimated by the Janitors at the opening of the schools thre weeks ago. This, it must be understood, has been considerably reduced. It is almost safe to assume that those having less than 10 tons at this time now have none. Tons of Coal.

BEST BOWLING IN HISTORY OF CITY Peckham's Score of 278 a Record Breaker Baseball and. Football Today Other Sporting Notes. William Peckham, last night, broke all local bowling records by scoring 278 in a game on the Backus alleys, The game was sensational from the very start and, though witnessed by few, aroused the greatest excitement. The game in which Peckham made his remarkable score was an event in which he was handicapped 20 pins. Peckham started wun a spare, and followed with five consecutive strikes.

His next score was a spare, followed again by Ave straight strikes. He rolled in great form, each ball being delivered with such accuracy tnat it permitted no chance Peckham's Bcore urpae last season's high score by 11 points. Thus the high score and hign average honors, Hopkins 201, belong to the Backus team, of which Peckham is a member. The score was rolled on the alleys which have been recently pianea ana oiled. This fact may in some measure, account for Peckham's success.

Football Notes. Football, at the School of the Lack awanna, Is progressing as we be expected under the circumstances. The school opened late this year, and so delayed the boys in starting. W. Acker has been elected captain and William Matthews, manager.

The boys are out for practice every afternoon. Several games have been, booked but the complete schedule is not yet ready. The team will be a good one, but very light. Much enthusiasm is displayed by the members of the school. The football season will open today at Athletic1 Park as far as the High school team is concerned.

This afternoon at 3 o'clock they will have as their opponents a team representing the Carbondale High school. A large delegation will accompany the team from the Pioneer city. The line up has not been determined upon as yet. Captain Thayer will not be able to play all through the game on account of sickness. In hip absence Ezra Allen will act as captain.

The following boys compose the squad from which the local team will be picked. In all probability every boy who has at all been faithful will be given a chance to display his ability: Left end. Levi, Corbett; left tackle, G. Evans, Von Bergen; left guard, Wll lard, Jones; center, Zlzleman, Lavelle; right guard, Quinn; right tackle, Kel ly, Mulhearn; right end, Fahey, Ed wards; left half back, Allen; right half back, Edwards, M. Evans; full back.

A. circles this season. The new gym nasium will not be opened before Jan uary. As there are many strong men connected with the association it is expected that much will be displayed in athletic sports as soon as the new building is completed. High School Day.

The much talked of base bail game between the Seniors and the Juniors took place at Athletic park yesterday and resulted in a complete victory for the upper class. The score was 11 to 7. A large crowd witnessed the game and class spirit ran high. Clyde Hard enburg is captain of the Senior class and Walter Bucher of the Junior class. Dr.

The necessity of pleasant, nutritive and proper food is highly appreciated in the Philippines, particularly by Americans unused to the climate and native custom in cooking. One of our soldier boys writes: "In this land of bad food and disordered stomachs, a nearly fatal attack of malaria left my digestion for many months In uuch a state, that food of any kind distressed me terribly.

I suf fered from the effect of drugs, but dared, not eat. It was simply misery to live. The so called remedies only seemed to aggravate my sufferings. ood, and I gave It a trial. To my surprise and pleasure, it did all and more than was claimed for It I am now, after using the food for 18 months, in good health; my digestive apparatus in perfect order, and I have long lost all feeling of pain or discomfort after eating; In fact, I live again.

E. Hill. by the A combination fish and snake story was told by Dr. G. E.

Hill yesterday that easily takes the palm for such narratives season. The story being told by Dr. HilJ carries the imprint of veracity, but there are some other men in this valley who wouldn't dare to speak about such things. Dr. Hill's story runs something like this: Farmer Giles, who lives near Yates ville, was annoyed last summer because so many ducks were found missing every morning.

The ducks fed In a little pond, fed by a stream coming from a culvert, and a large snapping turtle was believed to be responsible for the death of the ducks. Mr. J. P. Sanburn, of 138 Franklin who was visiting with Mr.

Giles, evolved the scheme of baiting a large hook with a part of a duck. The line was dropped through the culvert, and after a few minutes' wait their patience was rewarded by a strong pull on the line. The line slipped through their Angers and was pulled the length of the pond at a rapid rate. The two men, having taken the precaution to tie the end to a post, the running out of the line soon ceased. Then Messrs.

Sanburn and Giles laid hold of the line and with their combined efforts brought the catch to the surface. Instead of finding a tur tle, a huge black snake was attached to the end of the line. The snake was pulled out on the shore and dispatched with clubs. It was found to measure 13 feet, 9 inches in length. It was as big around as a small stove pipe.

Dr. Hill also tells of the killing of a rattlesnake I) feet in length by Messrs. Giles and Sanburn' In the woods back of Yatesvillef The snake had 1Q rattles. KILLING WITH DISHES. Mr.

Newey of Bellevue Not Particu lar at to Her Weapons. Phoebe Price and Mrs. Newey occu py the one house on Broadway, Bellevue. Yesterday Mrs. Newey celebrat ed and threatened to kill Phoebe, and to do so began on throwing dishes at fr.er.

At the close of the dance light refreshments were served. The committee In charge jvere: Vic Wensel, Eddla Kisele. w. Jacobs and Fred MUST STAYJfJ CAM Conrt Decides That Hailcarrier and Bandman Reese is Not Exempt From War Service. JUDGE NEWCOMB'S OPINION Judge Newcomb in an opinion yesterday decided against David U.

Reese in the case which he brought contesting the right of the? military authorities to compel him to Join his regiment. Reese was remanded to the custody of the officers of the Thirteenth regiment. Reese, who is a mailcarrier, joined the regiment with Bauer's band, of which he is a member. When the regiment was called out last week he refused to go, claiming that he was exempt from military being an employe of the Federal government. Saturday he was arrested and taken to camp.

He immediately engaged Attorney C. Dawson, who obtained a writ of habeas corpus against Colonel Watres, Captain Huff and other officers of the Thirteenth. The hearing was held at noon yes terday before Judge Newcomb. The facts were all agreed upon, the only question at Issue being whether Reese was engaged in the transportation of mail as contemplated by the acts of Congress: There was no legal appearance for the respondents. One of them, Captain Huff, of Company of which Reese is a member, was the only one in at tendance.

He raised the point as to whether Reese is engaged in the transportation or delivery of mail. Judge Newcomb held it to the lat ter. In his opinion he says: This writ was applied for to secut'c the release of the relati from service in the Thirteenth regiment of the national guard of this state, which was recently called to active duty in the field. The ground upon which he claims the right to be so released Is the fact that he is in the employ of the Federal government In the capacity of a letter, carrier at the Scranton post office in this state. He rests his claim upon the provisions of the several acts of Congress of May 8, 1792, May 7, 1800, and April 30, 1810, as collected in section 1629 of the revised statutes, specifying the persons who shall be exempt from military duty.

The particular clause under wnlcn exemption in this case is claimed is as follows: "All postmasters and persons in the transportation of the mall. The contention of counsel on tne part of the relator Is that he falls within the scope of this clause and that the exemption is a provision which the. Federal government has made for the benefit and nrotection of its service. nnd. therefore, it is not competent for a person so exempted to waive the ex emption and thus to aeprive xne government of tu benefit of his service which the exemption was designed to secure.

Both of these grounds are senousiy controverted by the respondent wno contend: MtThnt Reese's employment is not comprehended within the terms of the statute upon which he relies. Sonnnd That even 11 it were so com prehended the exemption Is a personal privilege which he may waive and that he did waive it by enlisting in the minrd After a somewhat careful considera Hnn wo are of the opinion that if the ncmniinn under the acts of Congress applies to the relator empioymeni, mo contention of his counsel that he may uaivo It Ik sound: But we are un able to agree with him in his further contention that he is a person em iaA in the transDortation of the mail."

ARARAT BURGLARS ARE RELEASED Criminals Who Could Not Be Identi fied Left the Penitentiary Yesterdays Four men who, In December, 1899, were sentenced for burglarizing the car barn of the Traction company at Mayfield, were yesterday released from the Eastern penitentiary. They are Will Zollner, alias Zerby, John Cummlngs, Patrick Dalton, alias Joseph Leonard, and James Gaughan, alias Kelly.

These men are part of the gang which broke into the powerhouse or the Carbondale Traction company at Mayfield one night in December, and after binding the watchman, succeeded in escaping with an amount of The case became well known from the sensational manner which the gang was captured. Going through the Mayfield yards they boarded an O. W. freight train going north. Word of their coming had been sent to Ararat Summit, and there "Bill" Leach, a hotelkeeper, and several others were In waiting for them.

The fugitives saw them and left the train in an endeavor to escape across the country, opening fire on Leach and hU companions as tbey did so. Leach, who was armed with a shot gun, returned the fire, bringing two of the men to ground. One was killed outright and the other died some days later at the Lackawanna hospital. The other members of the gang succeeded in escaping to a marshy place nearby where they were afterward surrounded. Much Interest was manifested In the trial, owlng'to the extreme reticence of the prisoners as to their identity, and from the fact that they were suspected of the Corcoran murder and other crimes down the valley.

Two of the party died from the gunshot wounds and none were Identified. The case was tried before Judge Edwards and the men were found guilty. On December 9, 1899, they were sentenced to 3 years and 10 months each in the Eastern penitentiary. Owing to the commutation act their term was reduced. BUSINESS NOTICES.
