L. AV. Richards, of the Machinery Committee, will visit Scranton iu a few days to coufer with our manufacturers and others in the expectation of awakening increased interest in the World's Columbian Exposition. Pennsylvania has already done nobly In this regard, nearly six hundred applications for space having been filed, most of them from large and important industries.

The injured men were passengers on a People line ouen car bound lor mm more. The car was overcrowded and many were compelled to stand on the side steps. In the short switch near Pine street were two down cars waiting for the up car to pass. There was not sufficient room in the switch to hold two cars and as a consequence one of them barely cleared the main track.

08 THE SOOIH SIDE. THUNDER, LIGHTNING AND RAIN TERRORIZE THE PEOPLE. FIBE AKD IAIER HAKE SAD HAYQC Three Alarms on This Side Yesterday Brave Work in the Face of Many Difficulties by the Firemen Weddings and Many Notes of Interest. The storm which visited the city last evening was, perhaps, much worse on this side of the river than any other part of the city. Shortly after the first drop of rain fell a vivid flash of lightning and a terrible thunder clap struck terror to the hearts of the timid and in a few minutes after an alarm of fire was turned in from Box 48, corner of Prospect avenue and Beech street.

The lightning had struck the Lowenstein property on Cherry strcct above Stone avenue. Here there was no fire and the damage was slight This run was a long one and the liremen were thoroughly soaked. The Neptunes had just gotten into the house when an alarm came in from box 47, corner Willow street and Pittston avenue. and about the same time a messenger brought word that the handsome residence of Spruks Brothers, on Prospect avenue, had been struck. In a very few minutes the companies were on the scene and found that the house of August Yopes had been struck, and the ceiling of one room was on fire.

Two or three buckets of water extinguished the blaze. The house was close to Spruks Brothers. Then the fire companies resolved to stay on duty until the storm subsided. The sewer basin on Cedar avenue, below River street, could carry but a small percentage of the water and consequently a knee deep wade was necessary for sidewalk pedestrians. Many cellars are flooded and at this writing the people are in an awful state of anxiety.

South Washington avenue came in for a share of the scare, and several families were obliged to move out while dozens of cellars were flooded. MINISTERS IN CONVENTION. A large number of ministers are in attendance at the Evangelical Lutheran Conference being held at the church, corner of Prospect avenue and Beech street.

W. Pilger on Prospect avenue yesterday morning. An alarm was sent in from box 47, and in a few minutes the Neptune Lngme company had a stream on the flames. The contents of the building, valued at about $700, were almost totally destroyed. The insurance will cover the loss.

1 People were on the mov yesterday and the exodus from this city was general Notwithstanding the alluements offered by Scribner Smith's enrmous all new united shows, the attractions at Farview and Scranton poved too inviting and were liberally jatronized from this city. In order to acommodate the passenger traffic from wints between this city aud Scranton it vas found necessary to use at least eigit coaches on each train. An old fashioned one rng. one horse circus was in the city jestcrday. The street display was small aid conventional, and although the wagons were red the general effect of the procession was yellow.

The driver boys in several of the mines gave their uules a rest for the day and the sawdust performances were witmssed by good sized audiences morning'fcd evening. The boys did not hang arouni the monkey cage, for there was none, hut the lady iu the flesh colored tights and the clown with baggy pantaloons kept tho elders in the best of humor. The trestle at No. 1 shaft fell on Tuesday under the weight of a trip of cars, all of which dropped to the ground, a distance of seventy feet, and were demolished. Men were at once set at work to repair the damage, and by Wednesday evening the woodwork was again in position.

FIRE FLASHES. Rev. Father Coffey showed his appreciation of the efforts of the Andrew Mitchell Hose company to build up the fire department of this city by increasing his subscription to $15, when the Finance Committee of that organization called upon him. Columbia Hose Company, No. 6, of the South Side, will hold a picnic in Murdochs Grove on the afternoon and evening of July 4.

It is hope! that the entertainment will be liberal'y patronized as the proceeds will go toward equipping the company. The mater of changing the name to one less in sonflict with that of No. 5, is arousing considerable spirit among the company, but as yet the majority of the members cannot see the detriment of having two Columbias in tho department. LOCAL AND PERSONAL. W.

Hazel Wheeler will entertain them tomorrow afternoon at her home on Church street.

Gro. A. Uacbbtb ft Co. RUSSIA'S POLICE SYSTEM. Perfection of the Secret Service Organisation Described by Kennan "The Russian secret service police system is a very complete and far reaching organization," said Mr.

George Kennan. in response to a query from a reporter, "and as an Instance of how thoroughly the government through this system is able to keep track of one's movements I may well relate an experience of my own. When I returned to St. Petersburg from Siberia the last time I was very anxious to leave the empire as soon as possible, for several reasons. My traveling companion, Mr.

Frost, was physically broken down, and I feared might collapse at any time. I was far from well myself and longed to escape from the atmosphere of apprehension in which I had lived so long, and of course very anxious to see my wife who was awaiting me in London. "So I sent my passports to the chief Qf the department of police aud asked permission to leave the empire at once, this being a necessary step before one can leave Russia. In a short time I received a curt verbal reply to the effect that I couldn't leave the empire until I had received the permission of the governor general of eastern Siberia. This annoyed me a great deal, as I knew very well that I couldn't obtain such permission from the governor general of eastern Siberia, who was 8,000 miles away, under three months and perhaps as long again, so 1 ed at the American legation and placet the matter before the secretary of the legation, Mr.

Wirtz. "Minister Lothrop at that time happened to be absent, and Mr. Wirtz gave me a letter to the chief of the passport bureau in the foreign office. I delivered the note in person to the chief of the passport bureau, who was an Italian. He read it through, carefully looked me over aud then remarked, 'You are Mr.

I informed him that I was. when he inquired if I had ever before had a permit to live in the Russian empire? I told him that I had, in 1868, issued in March of that year, I believed. "He immediately touched a bell and directed a clerk who responded to find a permit to live in Russia issued to George Kennan in March, 1868. In three minutes the clerk returned and handed to his chief the identical permit that I had surrendered when I was ready to leave the empire twenty years before, and with it was a list of about forty questions concerning myself, which I had answered at that time, showing what my objects were in visiting Russia, where I came from, and, in short, all about myself. "The chief scanned these documents aud then informed me that if the American legation would send a letter to him officially requesting permission for me to leave the empire tbe request would be granted.

Mr. Wirtawrotea letter officially requesting the permission desired. I went from one circumlocution office to another, paid money to this official and that, and finally at the end of four days was given the permission of leaving the country. How they manage to maintain a system whereby they are able almost instantly to turn to the record of any one who has lived in the empire, when one considers the infinite number of such records they are obliged to keep, is a mystery to me, one that I can't explain, bat it only goes to show what a marvelous institution it is. "There are in the Russian secret service police that are exceedingly bright, clever men, singularly adroit and crafty in obtaining valuable clews and information, and revolutionists with whom I talked agreed that lieutenant Colonel Sudeikin, of the gendarmes, afterward assassinated, was one of the ablest men in that line in the service of the Russian government.

"There is one class of secret service officers who are entirely unknown, who are in fact simply government spies, and you are liable of course to meat one of the" at any time. Several times I have thought that I was being interviewed by one of those spies, and when a man would seek my acquaintance while traveling, and endeavor to draw me out by professions of revolutionary sympathies, and remarks as 'being an American, Mr. Kennan, you certainly know everything is wrong I would observe great discretion and be very guarded in what I said." Detroit Free Press. Queer Things Women Will Do. Many a feminine queerness is traceable to environment rather than to nature.

A hundred queernesses are born of that irresponsibility and impracticability which for ages have been forced upon women by their' attitude to life. Ibsen's "Nora" is only the exaggeration of a fact. Most women know, as she apparently did not, that to forge a name, though with the best possible intentions, is perilous business, but few women do not share that half incredulous, half defiant attitude toward fixed law and fixed iact of which "Nora" offers an extreme example. Women have oome through heredity and experience to the general, unformulated conviction that 'there is nothing they oughtn't to have if they can get it and nothing much they can't get, if they have coin of tears or kisses wherewith to pay. It is the influence of the first of these notions that makes a woman composedly endeavor to elbow her way to the ticket office of a theater or a railway of the foremost of a cue waiting their turn in businesslike good faith and good nature.

Also makes her hail a car at the crossing where conspicuous and familiar placards forbid it to stop, and then berate the long suffering conductor for not stopping there. Also take her place in the seats reserved for smokers and then turn a petrifying glare of amazed disapprobation on the men wbo smoke. Also push her way into a car crowded to suffocation and then accept as a right aud with the slightest acknowledgement the seat of some tired man who has earned it by waiting for the car at its starting point. Also but there are too many alsos for enumeration in a newspaper column. Yet most of them are referable to false education, rather than to any innate or especially feminine queerness.

Boston Commonwealth. An Old Hallucination. A man once consulted a doctor about an extraordinary affliction. He asserted that while in India he had upon one occasion been placed in so strong a draft that the current of air had blown his head around so that his features crowned his spine. He Insisted upon this displacement necessitating the wearing of his clothes back to front, and obliging him to walk with a retrograde motion.

Instead of ridiculing his patient's delusion, or telling him, with crude faithfulness, that his head was in its natural position, the doctor wisely sng gested that probably a sharp wrench, followed by the application of a strong mustard plaster, would set matters To this treatment the patient willingly; agreed, and tbe experiment was tried with perfect success; the man believing that the doctor had really performed an operation which had resulted in a cure London Tit Bits. A Dog and a Monkey as Chums. "Better leave that monkey alone if you don't want the dog to bite' you; ho won't let anybody fool with his chum." The speaker was twelve year old Charley Bur rell, and his remarks were addressed to a crowd of men and boys that crowded around him and his two pets. The pets in question were a fine looking silky haired spaniel and a diminutive monkey, that was perched on tbe dog's back, and seemed quite at home there. Most dogs would object to playing horse with such a rider, but Rex noli only seemed to.

enjoy the fun. WW SUMMER COMES. Why June is a Month When the Nerves Are Too Often Shaky. There is a trouble that comes to most people at this season of the year. It is the result of the change from winter to summer which causes a tired and unstrung condition.

The nerves are shaky, the muscles relaxed and the head is not olear. It has been a popular error to suppose that this is due to a disordered condition of the blood. It is not. It is the result of a bad state of the nerves and of the brain. A very warm day comes, and the languid feeling shows how nervous, how really weak we are.

We must do something if we do not wish to become sick. We must build up the nerves, feed the brain and put ourselves in a proper condition. No ordinar help, no everyday concoction, sarsaparilla or blood purifier will restore the strength. Something scientific, something pure and powerful and at the same time harmless, is an absolute necessity. There is but one thing known to medical science that answers these conditions, and that is Paine's celery compound.

It has toned up more nerves, built up more strength and established more health than any other medicine. The Republican could name scores of well known men and women, not only in Scranton, but in other places, who have felt worn, weak and weary, but who are now strong and well, solely by the use of Paine's celery compound. This remedy is a physician's prescription, is a pure food for the brain and nerves, cures sleeplessness, headaches and all disorders of the nervous system and purifies the blood in a rational and scientific manner. duc also took It upon filmselt to resent any undue familiarity with his rider. Rex is Charley's inseparable companion, and when the lad's father made his young master a present of a baby monkey the dog did not become jealous, as some dogs would, but at once adopted the little orphan, and has been a father to it since.

That was eight months ago, and the little orphan has thrived wonderfully under the care of its strange foster parent. Jack, for that is the name of the monkey, shares Rex's kennel at night and stows himself away in the dog's warm silky hair, and the dog sees that not even his young master Ian intrude on his pet until its nap is ended and it rises of its own accord.
