The Wyoming Valley House has just been equipped with three sets of splendid stairway fire escapes. They are placed at the rear and each side of the hotel. The escapes were made and put up by the Eagle Iron Works of this city, and are of the most improved pattern, being light, graceful, and substantial. Travelers will appreciate this addition. Indeed, it would be well for all hotels to have escapes, and so reduce to a minimum the risk to human life. The funeral of Miss Elizabeth M. DICKSON. whose death occurred on Friday, took place at eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon, Dr. F. B. Hodge, of the First Presbyterian church, of this city, and Dr. N. G. Parke, of Pittston, officiating. The pall bearers were Martin FREY, Edward BUTLER, Hon. C. E. RICE, R. J. FLICK, William DICKOVER, and Hon. C. A. MINER. Interment was made in Hollenback cemetery. Governor Beaver and staff will be present to review the Ninth Regiment tomorrow. William LAW, who for several days has been at the city hospital under treatment, was to have been taken to Danville Insane Asylum yesterday morning. At the hour appointed, however, for his removal the rain was falling heavily and those who were to take charge of him postponed going until the weather should clear. Law in some way found out he was to be taken to the Asylum, and some time after six o'clock leaped from the window of his apartment and escaped. The city police were put on the watch, but he was not caught sight of by them. Last evening he was seen upon a street car going to Kingston where he was apprehended. He was placed in jail overnight and will go to Danville to-day. Law's case is a sad one. At one time he was a respected merchant of this city, but taking to drink he was soon a beggar and an outcast. Three years ago he became an inmate of the poorhouse. [condensed] Pittston - The coroner's jury met last evening. A letter from Dr. Leffman, the Philadelphia chemist, was read. The expert found arsenic in several forms in the stomach, liver and bones of Mrs. Glynn in sufficient quantities to cause death. No report was made on the condition of the remains of Mr. Glynn. It is thought a common poison known as "Rough on Rats" was administered which consists almost wholly of white arsenic. The testimony warranted the holding of Edward Glynn and his wife for trial. John McHALE, an aged resident of Pittston, died at his home on Pine street Sunday night, aged about 58 years. He was night watchman for the Pittston Stove works for many years. The funeral of Genevieve, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul BOHAN, was attended Sunday by a large number of people, friends of the family being present from Carbondale, Scranton, Providence, Wilkes-Barre, and Parsons. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful. Services were held in St. John's (R.C.) church. Rev. Father Finnen spoke at some length. The remains were interred in the Market street cemetery. The Pennsylvania Coal Company pays today at Old Forge No. 13, Law, Central, Barnum, Nos. 1, 8, 9 and 10 shafts.

A very successful trip to Scranton this past Friday. I was visting family on Long Island when I descided to make a side trip (yes I said side trip) to Scranton. Where mapquest said 143 miles and 2.5 hours of driving turned out to be over 4 hours of driving! But we had fun. Found the Library with no problems 1) Found my Great Great Grandmother's (Anna Catherine Zorn) death certificate (Feb 1895) with the help of Richard Reese who found it in the index. 2) Found her obit in the Scranton Republican, which listed she died at her daughter's house on 344 Maple St. 3) I already had an old photo of 344 Maple St (dated 1908) but did not know the relationship. So Christina Teichmann (midwife) was my Great Grandaunt. With that info I was able to look up the 1900 Census and found her with her youngest daughter and husband, and then found her in the 1880 census with her 3 other daughters! Found the house and took a photo. Both photos look very similar so the same house is still standing! 4) On the death certificate it stated that she was burried at Pittston Ave Cemetery. We asked for help from the Reference Area and they tolds how to get there. Well when they told us left we went right. After a slight tour of Scranton we realized we made a mistake. We found the cemetry and then went to Hickory St Presbyterian Church to see if they could help us find where she was. The lady there ( I have fogotten her name) call the caretaker and he knew right where she was! Found her tombstone with no problems. It was in GREAT shape. I want to thank all for giving me information about parking and a very special thankyou to Richard Reese.

The funeral services were held on Friday, at Falls M. E. church, Rev. Christopher officiating, assisted by Revs. Brown (Presbyterian) and Lyman of Tunkhannock, and Rev. Gendall, of Dallas.

The Nay Aug boys anticipate an enjoyable time and will spare no pains to make their clam bake and picnic a success. A full band and orchestra has been engaged for the occasion. Elias JONES, an employee at the plant of the Scranton Illuminating Heat and Power Company, was seriously scalded on Sunday afternoon. A filter burst and the steam rushed out, scalding him on the right arm from under the arm down to the knee. Dr. PAYNE was summoned, and after the scalds had been dressed Mr. Jones was removed to his home on Fairview avenue. Mrs. John MUNSON, of Jefferson avenue, appeared before Alderman Wright yesterday and entered a complaint against a lad about 15 years, named Robert KEIPLE, charging him with assaulting her son. Keiple was taken before the Alderman for a hearing. It appeared that Keiple, like most youths of his age, fought with his playmates once in a while., and in this particular instance his antagonist was young Munson. Keiple was held in $200 bail. Daniel RAFFERTY, Anthony DUCY, Charles McCONNELL, Albert GRIFFITH, and Lincoln Lloyd, all of Dickson City, are in the county jail charged with criminal assault upon Mary Jane LANCE, a woman well known in police circles. The allegation is that on Saturday, while on her way to from Priceburg to Scranton, Mary Jane was set upon by fifteen men, all of whom subjected her to indignities, the five above being included in the fifteen. The arrests were made by Constatble Logan, and the commitment was by Justice Meehan, of Dickson City. The sinking of the shaft at Wyoming [Babylon] by the pneumatic process is progressing favorably, and to an outsider seems yo be a very "slick" way of getting a shaft down through quicksand. All that can be seen from the surface is an air compressor at work and a four inch pipe discharging quicksand or clay with a force that throws it 100 feet across the lots. But down in the caisson, which is thirty feet square, the "sand hogs," as the men call themselves, who work in there are busy throwing the quicksand to the foot of the pipe where the pressure of air forces it out to the surface. It is as light as day there from twelve incandescent electric lights. The caisson is probably the strongest piece of work ever built in the valley. It has thirty-five inches' thickness of timber for the sides, and over four feet thickness of timber for the roof, on which is now oiled 550 tons of railroad iron, and about 200 tons of water to make the caisson sink as the sand is excavated. They are now down seventy-five feet, and are progressing one foot per day. Rock lies at a depth of 102 feet from the surface. Messrs. Sooysmith & Co., the contractors, say that in all their experience they have never met with such a fine and troublesome quicksand as this, but they have no trouble with it with the perfect appliances for sinking they have by this process. The writ of habeas corpus applied for by Sarah BARRETT, of Dunmore, to secure possession of her three children, who are now being cared for at St. Patrick's Orphanage, came before Judge Archbald at 9 o'clock yesterday morning. Mrs. Barrett was represented by HUSLANDER & VOSBURGH, while Mr. P. P. SMITH acted as counsel for the orphanage. Rev. Father WHELAN appeared as the representative for the orphanage. The case grows out of the action of the Poor Board in indenturing to the orphanage the three young children of Mrs. Barrett. It was represented to the Poor Board that the little ones were neglected and destitute and were likely to grow up dissolute, hence the intervention of the authorities. [Giving testimony were John SWIFT, a Dunmore merchant; Butcher REYNOLDS, and Atty. B. F. KILLAM, directors GIBBONS and MURPHY; George POTTER and Charles WARNER, Dunmore.] After all the testimony had been heard, Judge Archbald refused to sustain the writ and directed that the children, two girls and a boy, whose ages range from three to seven years, be returned to the orphanage. While departing from the hearing, Mrs. Barrett was arrested by Sheriff BRIGGS on charges of selling liquor without a license, escorted her to county jail in default of bail. Three years ago her husband, James BARRETT, plead guilty to manslaughter for killing two Italians during a drunken disturbance at Sport Hill, Dunmore. He was sentenced to eight years in the penitentiary. After she was deprived of her husband's support, Mrs. Barrett, it is alleged, became rather lax in her morals, and also began the illegal sale of liquor. She was formally indicted by the Grand Jury, but managed to elude arrest by deputy sheriff FAHEY and others. [condensed and rewritten]. A colored man maned SMITH gave the police quite a chase yesterday noon near the Dickson works. Smith had taken a wagon to a blacksmith shop, and a wrangle ensued over the price charged for the work. Smith struck the blacksmith a terrible blow in the face, rendering him insensible, in which condition he remained for two hours. Officers FEENEY and TWISS were informed of the affair and proceeded to the vicinity. As soon as Smith noticed the officers' approach he sprang through a barn and jumped out of a rear window, the officers following. Smith leapt over a high fence and fell into a hole of considerable depth on the other side, and Twiss was over the fence in a second and into the hole after Smith. The colored man offered some resistance, but was quieted at the sight of a revolver in the hands of Officer Feeney. Smith was taken to the station house. The fourth day at the lake brought miserable, wet weather, rain falling heavily at intervals throughout the day, causing much inconvenience to the soldier boys. Yesterday morning the soldiers were not able to go through battalion and skirmish drills on account of the rain. In the afternoon, the weather being a little clearer, the Regiment had the daily afternoon drill, followed by a dress parade. Captain Joseph DUGAN (Co. I) was officer of the day. Lieut. Curtis W. ROGERS (H), senior officer of the guard; Lieut. Fred W. STILLWELL (A), junior officer of the guard. Last Sunday evening, Mr. H. S. HARWOOD, of Gravity, PA, was mustered in as a member of Company Aby Sergeant A. S. GOULD. Sergeant SIMPSON, one of the musicians of the regiment, ...has the only distinctly military heating stove found at the encampment. It consists of a large stone at the door of the tent underneath which the earth has been partly removed. Into the aperture thus created wood is placed and a slow fire started. The smoke escapes through an old stove pipe which the Sergeant picked up at the lake. The stone becomes hot and creates a heat which proves very agreeable on damp mornings. Charley HINSDELL's Sunday fun with country blushing maidens, who visited camp was the sensation of yesterday. On Sunday afternoon, Charley was placed on guard at the Lawler farm house, which visitors from Moscow must pass in order to reach camp. Whenever girls without escorts would approach, Charley would first halt them and then them to advance and give the countersign. Blushingly they would advance and stammer out that they did not know what the countersign meant but they nevertheless would very much like to visit the camp. Charley would scratch his head for a minute, say it was a very bad business, express his desire to extend them all of the help he could and then tell them to wait a minute. Then he would seek shelter for the questioning orbs of the country girls behind Mr. Lawler's barn, write out a pass giving visitors permission to enter every tent in camp, attach to it the name of some colonel as yet unborn, return to where the maids were standing and place the pass in their hands much to their delight. [condensed] Other names mentioned in camp notes: Captain RROCKWELL,"Uncle" John ANNEMAN, Mr. CURT, in charge of the steamship which plys the lake; Mr. and Mrs. Joseph O'BRIEN, Will JESSUP, E. N. JONES, Sergeant ROEBLING, Frank CLEMONS, Corporals F. W. MASON and ROACH (Co. A); J. J. FLYNN, J. J. CAUSICK, and John P. NEARY (Co. I); Gus WILLIAMS (Co. H). Mr. H. F. CLEMANT, an extensive sheep raiser of Montana, who with Mrs. Clemants, were guests at the Hotel Pines for the past few days left for Bangor, ME, yesterday. Mr. Clemant is a brother-in-law of Mr. L. V. SEELEY, of Company D.

Hi Rich, I'm originally from Olyphant and I remember a Mrs. Pijar that lived across the street from us. I believe she was Polish and may be buried in St. Michael's cemetary (church in Olyphant). I also have family from the Ropczyce area that settled in Olyphant - Kosydar, Szczepkowicz, Wojdan, and Kulig. Maybe we can share some resources.

A little over a month ago I asked the list for any info on Taylorville, which I thought was in PA. Just this week I found out that it is actually in Illinois. My grandfather's cousin, Felice BONI, worked as a miner in Scranton and moved to Riverton, Illinois, around 1910. I found this info at http://www.calascio.com/frat1.htm, which is a page listing Italian men from Riverton who applied to the Foresters of America. If you lost an Italian between 1906 and 1917, you should check it out. :) The Ellis Island site is where I read that he lived in Taylorville in 1912, but the page was so blurry that I didn't see the state was not 'PA', but 'IL.' So, even if you *think* you know the area where your family lived, if you are having trouble locating them, look somewhere else! If you have lost an ancestor who worked as a miner, you might want to give the central Illinois area a search. There were quite a few coal mines in the area. Besides the rootsweb message boards and lists for the state, there are also some records online at http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/irad/iradaddr.html Thanks, Richard, for your help with this search.

If anyone is interested in sharing information on the ZAWISLAK or SIEPIELA families of Throop/Dickson City (and also Lake Ariel for a time) please let me know.  I am also interested in the ZMUDA and PIJAR families, also from the same general area. I have detailed information on the ZAWISLAK origin in the ROPCZYCE, Poland area that I would love to share. I also have a very detailed family history on the MELODY family from Honesdale. I hope to hear from someone. Regards, Rich Melody ramelody@erols.com

Patti, If your relatives are from Cty. Leitrim or Roscommon, that bulletin board has the 1901 Census for those counties on it. Roscommon is complete but Leitrim is not quite complete. Here's the URL for that. http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com/lrboard/ You'll probably hear of other counties from others on the list. Good luck. Mary

Hi Ruth, I would love to connect to your Joe, and it is possible he is related to my Alma, but as of yet, I have not been able to connect her to anyone! But I keep searching..... Your info is a lead, I haven't yet had a chance to check out. If I can make any connection, I will keep you in my address file, and let you know. Thanks for replying! Regards, Pat Britton

Claudia, I sent you an email about a Joe Engel and Clara Dietrich Engel from Scranton PA (and possibly NYC). They died within the same week from the flu epidemic in 1918 and left a little girl, Betsy. Any Engel's in your family that could tie in? Ruth
