Joseph, the two year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hanahoe, of William street, Cork Lane, died at noon today, as the result of taking a mouthful of creosote, which he found on a table yesterday morning. Last Saturday night, the mother of the little one was seized with severe toothache and to alleviate the pain secured a bottle of creosote that was in the house and used some of it on the tooth. She left the bottle on a table near the intending to put it safely away early in the morning.

The little fellow, who slept in the same room, arose before 7 o'clock in the morning, before any of the other members of the family awoke, and commenced playing about the room. He saw the creosote on the table and innocently commenced to drink the dangerous stuff. It is likely that he took one mouthful before the liquid commenced to burn. His mother was awakened by his crying and saw immediately what had happened. A.

doctor was sent for and made an exam ination of the child. His investigation led to the conclusion that the child had swallowed some of the poison and that its chances for recovery were very slim. The child's mouth had been burned raw, and its stomach was probably in the same condition. The child lingered until 12.30 today, when, de spite all that could be done for him, he succumbed to the poison. The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon.

OBITUARY. Mrs, Mary Booth. At the advanced aged of 79 years, Mrs. Mary Booth, relict of the late Jonas Booth, and one of the oldest residents of Pittston, passed quietly away this morning at 9.30. Death was caused by bronchitis and asthma, from which the deceased had been a sufferer for some time past.

The infirmities of old age confined Mrs. Booth to her home for a number of years, but she was in fairly good health up to a few weeks ago. Forty nine years ago, Jonas Booth and his wife came to Pittston. They lived on South Main street, almost in the very spot where the family home is now. Thirty two years ago, Mr.

Booth died. Mrs. Booth was a faithful member of the M. P. con gregation and a good living and con sistent Christian woman.

She is sur vived by one son, John Booth, the plas terer, and one daughter, Mrs. William Wilson. The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Services will be held at the home and interment will be made in Pittston cemetery. John Martin.

John Martin, a well known resident of Browntown, died suddenly yesterday morning. Deceased is survived by his wife and one daughter. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon. Services will be conducted in St. John's church at 3 o'clock and interment will be in Market street ceme tery.

Adam Buckvinskl, of Oregon, suffer ed severe lacerations of his forehad in No. 14 mine this morning and was taken to the hospital. Washington's Birthday passed very quietly in this vicinity.

All of the mines were in operation, but otherwise the day was generally observed as a holiday. Jan Pepe, of Sturmerville, a miner in Exeter mine, had his leg so badly crushed by a fall of rock on Saturday afternoon that it was necessary to am puta the limb. The operation was performed at the hospital. A frame sand house at the Babylon colliery was destroyed by fire yesterday. There was danger that the flames might communicate to the engine hou.se.

but hard work by the employes resulted in saving the latter building. Helen, the four year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Laity, of Cork Lane, died yesterday morning from diphtheria. This is the second child in the family to die from diphtheria within a week.

The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. Interment in Market street cemetery. Tunkhannock Republican: J. G. Leigh ton, the Warren street grocer, sold a Pittston party a lot of cabbage the other day at $2.50 per small bar rel, or at the rate of $40 per ton, at the same time contracting to deliver at the railroad next fall a carload for $7 per ton.

Quite a contrast in prices. As a result of the mild weather yes terday and today, together with the rain last night, it may be expected that the ice blockade in the Susquehanna river will soon break up, unless the cold snap predicted for tonight freezes the ice up again. There nas been no change in the condition of the river at Bloomsbtirg today. Rumors are afloat to the effect that Captain Fremont Stokes, division superintendent of the Pennsylvania Coal has resigned, to take a position in Arkansas, but the higher officials of the company say that they have not received Captain Stokes' resignation and do not know anything as to his in tentions as regards resigning. The Are engine of the Eagle Hose Co.

has been shipped to Seneca Falls, N. where it is to be renovated by the American Fire Engins Co. Taa contract calls for the return of the engine in 60 days. With fl.GOO worth of repairs and renovation and a ten years' guarantee, the return of the engine will add much to the flre flghting equip. taent of the city.

E. A. Coray the Wilkesbarre real estate firm, which is composed of E. A. Coray, J.

J. Armstrong and H. J. Sanders, has entered on a new ven ture, having acquired the right to sell the Model globe and mantel in Luzerne, Lackawanna, Columbia, Carbon, Montour and Schuylkill counties. The fixture is used with gas and is import ed, being manufactured exclusively in Germany.

Residents of Broad street complain I of great annoyance from a flat wheel car on the Pittston line of the Scranton Railway Co. Such a nuisance will not be avowed in Scranton, but everything seems to go on this end of the line. There are several sick people on Broad street and the relatives of one of them asks the authorities, through the Gazette, to see that the nerve racTung nuisance is abated. The Martha Washington Bazaar and Supper, for which the young ladies of the First Congregational church have long been making arrangements, will be held this evening in the Sundav school room of the church, and the public is invited to attend. Supper will be served for 15 cents, beginning at 5 o'clock, and ice cream and confectionery will be on sale.

There will also be offered for sale a large variety of fancy and useful needlework. The election of Mayor Langan will leave a vacancy in the select council, as he represented the First ward and will represent it until he is inducted into office the first Monday in April. Considerable interest is being taken in the question as to who will be can didates for the office, which will be filled by special election. While no one has come actively forward to seek the office, there is some talk that Martin Hession, who served in common council for many years, but who was not nominated at the last Democratic caucus, will appear as a candidate. Mr.

Hession has not expressed himself definitely on the matter, but It would occasion no surprise should he come forward at the election. When Marketman Frederick came to his place of business this moraine he round the door half open, presumably naviiig uccn left unlocked by his chil dren. Mr. Frederick thought it showed laxnefcs on the part of the police that they did not discover the open door A little more "ginger" in the police de partment would be for the good of the city. Shameful snowballing of sleigh ing parties on Main street on several Sundays this winter was unheeded by the police.

There was a time when the night patrolmen had regular beats and were obliged to follow them strictly, but the frequency that all the patrolmen are seen at theater performances would seem to indicate that they pay little attention to any schedule. At the meeting of the Father Mat thew society, held yesterday afternoon, the following nominations for officers to serve for the coming six months were made: President, John, Howley; vice president, Andrew Moran, James G. Lydon; financial secretary, B. J. McCanna; recording secretary.

M. Haggerty; corresponding secretary, of The Baldwins, This Evening. Professor Baldwin, the "White Ma hatma," who opens an engagement at the Broad St. Theater this evening, wishes it'distinctly understood that he does not claim that either himself or his assistant, "Shadow," possesses oc cult or supernatural power. The results produced, especially in the clairvoyant reveries and materialization, are weird and bewildering, but the forces and means employed, are perfectly natural and scientific.

The Baldwins are ac companied by a clever company of en tertainers. The engagement opening this evening will continue throughout the week, with a break on Thursday evening, when Henry Miller comes for one night. Henry Miller, Thursday. Henry Miller will be seen at the St. Theater next Thursday even ing in a bright comedy, "Man Propos es," from the pen of Ernest Denny brilliant English dramatist.

The play was well chosen by Charles Frohman, under whose management Mr. Miller is touring. It seems evident that the same careful work which has charac terized Mr. Miller in his previously great successes has insured his success in "Man Proposes." There is a de lightful love story in the comedy on the theme of two brothers' love for the same woman. The theme is of course an old one, but its clever treatment by the gifted author is refreshing.

The many sacrifices made by one brother to the other makes a story full of stir ring situations. The supporting com pany has been carefully selected. "Qulncy Adams Sawyer." Concerning "Qulncy Adams Sawyer, which will be presented at the Broad St. Theater spon, the Philadelphia Bul letin had to say on its recent appear ance, in that city: "The story deals with New England rural life and was written by Charles Felton Pidgin. In the dramatization considerable of the story is lost, but is preserved to make an exceedingly entertaining picture.

The play is given by an ex ceedingly capable company, each member having mastered the peculiar twang of the New Englander." ST. MARY'S CHURCH. Financial Statements Issued Yesterday Services Last Evening. At the masses in St. Mary's church, Upper Pittston, yesterday morning, statements were issued by the pastor, John F.

Greve, as to the financial condition of the church during the past year. Besidefc the church statement the account of the new Memorial hall which is about completed, was append ed. The statement shows that the col lections from pew rent and dues amounted to $1,858. The sum of $2 285.69 was collected by means of en tertainments. The amount received for the building fund was $1,090.

The total amount received during the year was $6,357.59. The amount expended, plus the amount in the building fund, amounted to $6,357.59. The statement includes an alphabetical list of the par ishioners, with the amounts paid by each in pew rent, salary, the Easter, Christmas and coal collections. In the building fund, $5,000 was received from the late Very Rev. John Finnen, $1 103.50 from individual assessment, $788.69 from societies, $4,751.78 from antertainments.

The total amount received was $11,643.97. The expendi tures from the fund include $6,000 for property, $200 to Percival Morris, arch itect; to R. J. English, contractor, $4, 600; to foundation $249, besides vari ous smaller amounts. The cash on hand in this fund is $317.33.

Altogether, the statement is a most creditable one to the parishioners and pastor. A large piece of valuable property on North Main street has been added to the church and a handsome new building has been erected. The new building is Memorial hall, a brick structure, which, when entirely com pleted, will contain besides a large hall rooms for the meetings of the various societies of the parish and a gymna sium for the young men of the parish. But this statement, complete as it seems, does not tell all that has been done in St. Mary's parish during the past year.

Several new church societies have been formed and are in a flour ishing condition and the parish is a model one in many ways. Besides the improvements made up to this time, large plans have been made for the fu ture. It is not unlikely that before mauy years nave roued by a new church will grace the parish and a new pastoral residence. The outlook for St. Mary's is most auspicious.

During the Lenten season, services will be conducted in the church on Friday and Sunday evenings. Each Sun day a visiting clergyman will preach. Last evening, Rev. Lalor McLaughlin, of the Cathedral parish, of sacranton, preached an able sermon to a large congregation. FLORIDA.

Safe Door Was Blown Through Office Window and Landed 25 Feet Away, No Clue to the Burglars, Who Are Evidently Professionals. Burglars evidently professionals operated in this city early this morn ing, but had7 their, work for nothing, They cracked the safe in the Market street station of the Laurel Line and caused considerable damage, but se cured no money. The safe is a small affair, about three feet high and two feet wide, and stands beneath the ticket cabinet, in the office at the front of the waiting room. A man is on duty until the last car pass es shortly after midnight, after which the station is locked up. Everything was in order when the night man left the station at midnight, but when the day agent came to the station at 6 o'clock this morning he found that the upper front door of the waiting room had been pried open, the lock being broken.

From the outside of the station It Was clear that something had been doing, as the large glass and sash in the center of the bay window of the office was wrecked. Investigation revealed that burglars had entered the office and, with some high explosive, which was apparently inserted around the edge of the door, ruined the safe. The explosion was "the work of experts. door was com pletely torn from its hinges, and so great was the power of the explosion that the heavy iron door was blown across the narrow office and hurled through the window sash, landing on the Erie track, in front of the station, and about 25 feet away. In passing through the window, the flying door struck the lower side of the oak win dow frame, causing a dent a quarter of an inch deep.

Inasmuch as the night ticket seller always sends his cash receipts to the Scranton office on the last car at night the burglars were foiled and secured nothing for all the trouble to which nothing for al lthe trouble to which they had gone. The tickets were not touched. The explosion took place about o'clock, according to neighbors, who heard the noise but did not investigate as to its cause. There; is no clue what ever to the RUN DOWN AND NERVOUS VINOL COMPLETELY RESTORED MRS. BURNS' HEALTH.

Managsr of Houck's Well Known Drug Store Agrees to Return Money if Vinol Fails. "Many people right here in Pittston are all run down, hardly able to drag about, don't know what ails them. This condition is probably caused by a cold, or cough, which is hard to cure, overwork or too close confinement to business. Such people need Vinol," said the manager of Houck's drug store, and the following letter is only one of many which wo are constantly receiving, showing what Vinol will do: Mrs; W. T.

Burns, of Memphis, who is national press correspondent of the W. R. writes: "Last winter I caught a severe cold, which it seemed impossible for me to get rid of. I became much run down, lost my appetite and flesh and felt nervous and irritable. Vinol was recommended, and it certainly worked wonders for me; it increased my appetite, cured my indt gestion, cough and nervousness, and I sleep soundly.

1 consider Vinol a wonderful remedy." Vinol cures such conditions because Mrs. W. T. Burns. it is the only preparation in the world that contains every one of the 50 odd mprllr lnnl riirativp elements found in fresh cods' livers and without one drop of useless oil, which characterizes old tashioned cod liver oil and emulsions.

imparts in a natural manner strength and vigor to every organ of the body, aids digestion and makes rich, red blood. Vinol is not a patent medicine, ev rything is printed on the bottle: it contains iron, and in a highly concen trated form all of the vitalizing prop contained in cod liver oil. It is ielickms, and the weakest stomach can retain it. We ask every run down, nervous, Jebllicated, aged or weak person in Pittston, and every person suffering from stubborn colds, hanging on coughs, bronchitis, or Incipient consumption to try Vinol on our guaran ee. It costs nothing if it fails to give satisfaction.
