SUGGESTION FOR TODAY. A Defective Walk That Should Have Immediate Attention. The attention of the street eommis ioaer Is directed to a dangerous spot Im the sidewalk along the west side Booth Main street, between the bridge and the Erie railroad creasing. This is along the vacant land of the Pennsylvania Coal company. A eat flagstone walk was laid at this a few years ago, but the cinder foundation has been washed away, leaving several ot the flags drop out of place and creating a hole that Is extremely dangerous to pedestrians, es eclally at night.

The damage to the walk ought to be repaired at once, in order to prevent Injury to some hap lea paaser by and to keep in good shape an otherwise excellent and convenient walk. COMING EVENTS. I 1 J. Bagle drill squad will meet tonight at 7.30 sharp. Tf Cotfncll 411, Y.

Clerks' Association Excctly One Year Old Yesterday. The Clerks' association is crtainly 1 very healthy youngster, for it lasi vening celebrated its first anniversar. and showed by lis a hievcnients thai it was really liclter than many year aid youngsters. The anniversary wa. held in Caletlonian hall and took th.

form of a banquet, whii was thot nuglily enjoyed by all who had tin pleasure of sitting down at the tables The refection was all that morta1 could wish for. and was certainly i credit the lmya. Previous to the serving of supper the clerks enjoyed a very clever en tertainment, the following programni' being carried out: Opening address President Philip Itoxelle; musical ae lections, George llastie ami arly; speech.

Jtli he present A John Mitchell Hat. ine very latest mea in men neau wear for (all is the John Mitchell der by. Corcoran ft O'Brien, the Srranton and Pittston clothiers, are its origins tors. The bat was made especially for them according to their own ideas, and, besides being a very becoming hat to young men, it also contains the proper dies. lit.

suitable to the United Mine Workers. And the tip is a picture of President John Mitchell with the Inscription, "John Mitchell, the Breaker Boy's Friend." On the sweat band is stamped a fac simile of ciaUoaV board of aUreetors, aadV sK though suable of. hue year to par ticipate la the active management. gave the association the benefit of his counsel and aided the work In so far as he was able. When the Twin iaft Relief Association was formed to un dertake the management of the fund collected In aid of the widows and orphans of tbe victims of the Twin Bbaft disaster Mr.

Bryden was selected 33 one of the directors of the fund. Th. only secret order of which Mr. Bryden was a member was the Odd Fellow. He was first a member of ldge.

No. 1. In Carbondale. but when he came to Pittston to reside, he trans ferred his membership to Thistle lodge, of this city, of which he was a member at the time of his death. Mr.

Bryden had one very thrilling experience during his mining career. and his death recalles the incident, which occurred in Carbondale in Jan uary. 1846. Mr. Bryden was at work in No.

drift of the Delaware and Hud son Canal company's mines, when about forty acres of the surface dropped into the mine workings. itryden and many others were impris oned by the cave. Fourteen of the men at work in the mine were caught by the fall and instantly killed. Mr. Bry den was among those rescued by his rather, who was foreman of mine.

He was familiar with all Its passages. and. after repeated attempts, finally found an open passage through which he was enabled to lead the imprisoned ir en to the surface. One thing should be especially no ted in the service of Mr. Bryden as a mine manager.

We refer to bis care for the lives of his men. His nature was to be cautious in the extreme on ttis point. Explosions at points in Ihc Wyoming basin have hurled men to death instantly or suffocated them ir the after damp. At other points men have been shut in, sometimes for ever and at other times to be released only after great labor and cost Structures have burned where there was but one passage, causing death to miners by suffocation. However, dur ing tbe fifty years of Mr.

Bryden's management of the mines of the Pennsylvania Coal company such acci have, by his prudence and over sight been avoided, la all things the workmen under his care felt that he was a man to be relied upon, one that would hold a just and even hand be tween them and the employing com pany. Mr. Bryden is survived by his wife, who was, before her marriage, Kliza both McDougall. and the following sons and daughters: Archbald L. Bry den and Alexander Bryden.

of Dun more; Mrs. William I aw, of Srranton Mrs. Mary B. Allen and James Y. Bry den.

JOa and 22c Giles's. to fMrtotr Representative Benvef. ot Juniata county, recently wrote to Attorney General Elkin with reference to the law prohibiting the sajjo of tobacco In any form to persons under 16 years of age, desiring to know If a merchant could fill an order from a parent to be carried home by a minor child under 16. The attorney general replied: "Replying to your letter of recent date with regard to tbe act prohibiting the sale and furnishing of tobacco to per sons under the age of 16 years. I would advise yon unofficially that section two of the act of July 10.

1901, referred to. which reads that no person or per sons shall by purchase, gift or other means, furnish tobacco in any form to a person nnder the age of 16 years. Is broad enough to cover the rases which you suggest in your letter. By the terms of this act the sale and iurnish ing of tobacco nnder any circumstan ces to persons tinder 16 years Is abso lutely prohibited." REMEMBERED BY EMPLOYES. Testimonial Given to Superintendent John E.

Dailey Last Night That Mine Superintendent John E. Dailey is well liked by the men who work under him was warmly attested when a large number of them gath ered at his home in Hughestown and presented him with a slight testimonial of their esteem. The affair was in the nature of a surprise to him, and was thoroughly enjoyable. Mr. Dailey has for a number of years worked at the Boston and Fern wood mines as a foreman, and his recent promotion to the position of su pcrintendent was but a fitting testi monial to bis capability in minini: work.

The men under bim take consid erable pride in his advancement, and the gathering the other evening was for the purpose of presenting him with a gold watch and a gold fountain pen. Tbe affair passed off very pleasantly for all concerned. OBITUARY. William Lyons. Death last evening claimed William Lyons, a well known resident of this city, at his home in Oregon.

He had been ill for several months with stom ach trouble, and his death was due entirely to the inroads made on his health by this complaint Deceased bad been a constable for a number of years and during his service had frequently been called upon to do clever detective work.

It is a fascinating ride and one fully appreciated by those who have enjoyed it at the exposition and by those who have. not. Don't fail to see the coming entertainment The Price of Coal.

(New York World.) Coal will be advanced 25 cents per ton on the first of September, making total increase of 50 cents since the first of May. when the price was already above tbe average. Last summer's strike of tbe coal miners was. by the influence of the Republican campaign managers, settled by conceding increased wages to the men. These increases, varying slightly with circumstances, raised the average cost of mining coal about 10 cents a ton.

In early spring of the present year the general understanding" hitherto pre ailing among coal operators was sue ceeded by a trust which has three times advanced prices at will. The householder at tidewater will this winter pay nearly a dollar a ton more for coal than the average price for ten years past The men at the mines will get 10 cents of the increase. Lawyers, Justices, of the Peace and Constables will find a large supply of law blanks, at tbe Gazette office Pennsylvania State Fair. Great preparations are being made by tbe management of tbe State Fair at Bethlehem. Sent, 1013.

Both 'phones. Frederick market Andrew Bryden Died This Morning. THE END WAS SUDDEN. Sketch of Mr. Bry den's Long Career.

For Fifty Years He Was Superin tendent of the Pennsylvania Coal Company's Mines A Representa tive Citizen in Many Respects. The announcement of the death of Andrew Bryden. which occurred thit morning at the family home on Wil liam street, was a great shock to the people of the community. It was com mnnly known that Mr. linden hail been failing in health for some time and that for two weeks past he hai been seriously ill, but it was not gen erally known how dangerous his con dition was.

and his friends wen scarcely prepared for the sad news that came to them early this morning. Mr. Bryden's ill health dates back to the grip epidemic of 1899. Ho was one of the victims of the distressing mal ady at that time. He suffered a very severe attack, and, while he was soon able to return to his accustomed du ties, he was never afterward the sam man physically as before that attack.

He also suffered from catarrhal Iron which rendered him peculiarly susceptible to colds. These affecta tions culminated some three or four years ago in a very severe attack pneumonia, which still further weak ened his constitution. Mr. Bryden'. last illness dated from two weeks ngo.

being due primarily to a complication of liver trouble with his other ail ments. A week ago. his condition was alarming, but so late as yesterday the reports from bis bedside were quite cheering, and his familv and near friends were hopeful that he would rally from this attack as he had from previous ones. Abodt 5 o'clock laM evening, however, a change for the worse came on suddenly, and he con tinued to sink until, at 1.35 in the morning, he breathed his last. In the passing of Andrew Rryden Pittston loses one of her best citizens a man who had been for half a cen tury associated with many of tbe city's business enterprises ami who was always interested in everything that per tained to the welfare of tbe commun Ity industrially, socially and politi cally.

We are free to say that no man exerted a wider influence for good the city than Mr. Bryden. his respon sible, position as general snperinten dent ot the Pennsylvania Coal com pany's mines affording him unusual opportunities for coming into cont.tc1 with the working people as well as with those in business and professional life. He was. in brief, one of Pittston most widely known citizens, and all who enjoyed his acquaintance esteem ed him for his splendid abilities as mine manager and the noble qualifier that characterized his personality and guided his dealings with his fellow men.

Although Mr. Bryden had spent the Inrger part of bis advanced life in this community and in the employment of one company, he had some varied ex periences and tbe record of his life is of interest The deceased was born in the parish of Kirkoswald. Ayrshire. Scotland, on Jan. 10.

He was accompanied by bis mother, brothers and sisters, bis father, Alexander Rryden, having pre ceded him in the previous year, the voyage across the Atlantic to xew York was made in twenty three days.

From New York, the family took pas sage by steamer to Rondont. N. on tbe Hudson river, and thence thev journeyed by canal boat on the Dela ware and Hudson canal to llonesdale. Their destination was Carbondale. where the father had secured employ ment in the mines.

They reached that city on May 31st, making tbe trip troru llonesdale to Carbondale by way ol the Delaware and Hudson gravity rail road. Previous to leaving Scotland, air. Bryden had learned the trade of blacksmith, but soon after arriving in Car bondale he took employment as miner in tbe mines of the Delaware and Hud son Canal company. On Sept. 30.

1S50. he accepted a position as mine fore man for the Pennsylvania Coal com pany. at Port Griffith and Pittston and from that time on was almost con tinuously in the employ of this great mining corporation which did so much to develop the coal veins in and about Pittston. In this work. Mr.

Bryden had an important part, as the further record of his life shows. On April 1. 1851, he was transferred to Dunmorc. and was in charge of tbe Pennsylvania company's mines at that place tor about two years. He left the employ of the Pennsylvania, company in May, 18o3.

to accept the position ol mine superintendent for the Baltimore Coal company, at Wilkesbarre, but in June of the succeeding year. 1S54. be was called back to the employ of the Pennsylvania Coal eing given the responsible position of mine superintendent, in which position lemained eontiniiouslv until Julv IMi.1. Kininc ihh. loin; i.en.xl his head ipiarters were in this eity.

the e.om iwny's office being located at the cor ner of Main and Broad streets. Failing health led him. in 1S95. to seek retirement The company was not willing to dispense with his services entirely, and he was therefore retained as con sulting superintendent, other officials undertaking the duties of active man agement of tbe mining operations. Mr.

Bryden continued to hold the position of consulting superintendent until April 30 of the present year, when he resigned, after a half century of faith ful service for the Pennsylvania Coal company. Mention of the various city organiza tions with which Mr. Bryden. has beei associated for long periods will afford an opportunity of judging how inti mately he was connected with the life of the community. He was one of the organizers of tbe Miners' Savings bank, and was a member of ita man aging board from tbe date of Its or ganization until bis death.

He was also president of tbe Pittstoq Gas light company and president of the Pittston Water company during the long periods of their existence.
