Freeman, for over forty years a prominent and patriotic citizen of West Scranton, died this morning at the family summer home, on the West Mountain, after an Illness which dates back three years. Mr. Freeman's condition had been serious at many times during that period, but with the health of a life of good living he always rallied. A week ago he was stricken, and the attending physician, Dr. R.

V. i White, could not hold one little hope Of Ms recovery. The closing hours of Mr. Freeman's life were as comfortable, as loving caf tibd" tender nursing could make them, and when the end came it was with his family around him. For over forty years of his long life of seventy one years, Mr.

Freeman had lived In this city, and for thirty years he was In the erriploy of the Lacka wanna Company In various capacities, but at the time he left the company, when the new management came In, he was the' real estate agent of the Company.

A member of one of the oldest families In the State, and ot a distinguished appearance, Mr. Freeman was a familiar figure In West Scranton.

He was of a kindly disposition, ana never said aught but good of a man. He was a gentleman of the old school, one whom it was a pleasure to meet. He was a trustee and a prominent member of the Washburn Street Presbyterian Church, and is survived by his widow, one son, William Freeman, and a married daughter, residing in The remains will be brought from the summer home today to the Freeman homestead at the corner of South Main avenue and Washburn street, where the family has lived for and which is one of the landmarks of West Scranton.

When arrested Saturday evenlnir In had but $51, but was allowed to depart on his promise to bring back the $7 balance as soon as possible. When arraigned yesterday, he was asked what was his purpose in opening up so soon after he had been arrested, when he naively replied that he wanted to earn the $7 he owed the city. The evidence against Mangan was furnished by William Weisser, a cigar maker, and George Schmidt, a tailor.

Roth men testified thai'they were In Mangan's place and drank there last Sunday. Schmidt lost his gold watch and blamed Weisser for stealing it. Schmidt appeared against Weisser, who was fined $25.

Sec, SCRANTON, PA, I BUSINESS 1 RANSACTED ed, one so badly that it had to be klllwl. The accident occurred at 2:30 tne Cooper vein of the north shaft and Is believed to have been caused by a blast fired by one of the men injured. The scene of the explosion Is about a mile from the foot of the shaft, along the main gangway, where about a hundred men were at work. A number of these men felt the force of the shock, several being thrown to the ground, and that no more were Injured Is considered remarkable. The explosion did considerable damage to the mine, as It caught lire, but this was extinguished In a short time by prompt action on the part of the officials.

This section of the mine was known to be gaseous and none but flameless dynamite was permitted to go Into that working. It Is possible that a "feeder" of gas existed there, unknown to any one, and this may have been Ignited by the explosion. No. 1 shaft has been the scene of a number of bad accidents, the most serious of which occurred in 1892, when on a afternoon thirteen men who were engaged In changing the air course were burned by an explosion, all but two dying from their injuries. Superintendent Kohlbraker states that the mine Is in good condition, considering the severity of the explosion.

The members of the new order will teach In parochial schools and will also take an active interest in the work of charity. The first steps in this direction were taken by the Slovak Catholic Union of America recently and now the priests of that nationality are working In connection with the union.

It is expected that the required amount lor the convent will be collected within two years. Rev. Father Jankola and Rev. Andrew Pavco, of Plttston, are the prime movers In the movement. ir The two year old son of Mr.

and Mrs. Michael Alexander, of Bloom avenue, was terribly burned by hot soup yesterday. The child was seated on a chair at the table and his mother placed a bowl of hot soup a short distance from the child. Her attention was directed to another part of the room for a moment and the child pulled the bowl and its contents down upon him. The hot soup spilled over his face and chest Inflicting terrible burns.

The unfortunate child screamed with pain and the frantic mother quickly called the family physician, who succeeded after a time In alleviating the child's suffering. It Is believed the child will recover. CLARKE BROS Wednesday Heat Sale PRICES GOOD IN ALL SIX STORES. Choicest Sir' in and Porterhouse Stoak, per lb. Choicest Round Stoak, per lb.
