Scranton Republican, Monday, July 15, 1889 Buffalo, NY - James E. FARRELL, the absconding postmaster of Starrucca, PA, who has been staying at Fort Erie, Ontario, lately, was lured to Buffalo to-day by Joseph DALTON and taken into a station-house on pretense that it was a saloon, where he was arrested. Farrell had robbed the post-office of $400 in stamps and swindled his friends and members of the C. M. B. A. [Catholic Mens' Benevolent Association ?] branch, of which he was treasurer, out of $6,000 more. Dalton was one of those who had been swindled.

MORGANS, son of William Penn MORGANS, of Rebecca avenue, was accidentally shot on Saturday. He in the company with other boys went to Gammon's Hill, near Boone Hill, to witness a game of ball which was to take place between two amateur clubs. When they found that the lot on which the game was to be played was deserted and no game was to occur, they sat down and during a conversation, he was accidentally shot in the leg and severely injured. He was able to walk home by the assistance of his associates. It is not known how he came to be injured, but it is stated that it must have been a wayward shot fired from a revolver in the hands of some unknown person. Such is the statement of the boy. Dr. WILLIAMS is attending him. The people of Providence were especially pleased to receive an unexpected call from their mail carriers on Fourth of July morning.

[condensed, from Providence Register.] About two o'clock yesterday afternoon Samuel ALTEMUS of Moosic and Edward H. SCHILLING of Philadelphia, started out for a trip through Taylorville, Pittston and Old Forge. They reached Old Forge and there made their first stop. After transacting their business they untied the horses and Mr. Schilling sprang into the carriage, but before Mr. Altemus could do likewise, the horses for some unaccountable reason started off on a dead run. Mr. Schilling jumped out and was uninjured. The horses after a run of about one hundred yards attempted to make a turn, but it was too short and the one forced the other against a broke fence, the top rail of which caught the one horse in the breast forcing its way over three feet into the animal's body, causing instant death, smashing the buggy, tearing the harness and bringing the other horse to a short stop.

It was pointed out to me that the below statement was incorrect. In fact you can get full coverage for Lackawanna County by purchasing 5 CDs, at the price of $99.75. My mistake was the result of looking at the CDs listed under Lackawanna County. To get the full list you need to access it through the census path. Sorry if I inconvenienced anyone.

Dear Listers: In an article from the Scranton Times dated 7/13/1889, I noticed the name Dickson Manufacturing Co. My ggrandfather ELI DICKINSON lived in Carbondale and was a boilermaker. On my grandmother's birth certificate (his daughter), her father's name was written as "DICKSON". I was wondering if anyone knew the name of the owner of that company and if there would be a relationship to my ggrandfather. Verna

I'm interested in the name,"TONEY",in this piece.Can anyone tell me anything about that name?I'm searching for my Tunney ancestors in PA and the name was spelled in different ways.

Looking for my lost cousins Frank Perkins born about 1930 in Scranton PA and his Sister Nancy Susan Perkins born around the same time. Their Dad my Uncle Frank Perkins ran a Druggists Store called PATENT MEDICINS at 2431 North main Street until his death in 1941. He was married to Thelma Susan Perkins nee PERRY.

Hi- Does anyone know of a jewerly store on Wyoming Avenue, possibly near a movie theater, back in the 1940's or 50's? It may have been called Deliman or Diamond. Thanks for the help!

Yep! The following is an extraction from the Book " The history of the Matthews boat company" by Scott Reynolds. It appears as though Naptha as a boat fuel days were numbered by the statement about the new "gasoline" engines. "In 1890, an era of experiments on the "new" gasoline-powered engine and on sail and naptha-powered boats, the Matthews Boat Company was founded by Scott J. Matthews in the basement of his home in Bascom, Ohio. His venture quickly expanded to boat building at his father's sawmill, where, in 1898, he entered into an agreement ......."

Hello I am looking for any information about the GALLITZ family in Scranton... The 1880 Census shows a Philip Gallitz, age 36, born in Prussia. Wife, Anna M. Gallitz, age 40, born in Prussia and five children. Nicholas, age 11, born in Scranton Lena, age 10, born in Scranton Mathias, age 9, born in Scranton Catharine, age 7, born in Scranton John, age 3, born in Scranton. Philip Gallitz died in a mine accident on 16 Sep 1884. It also stated that he left a widow and six children, so he must have had one more after the 1880 census. What happened to the six children??? I imagine that Anna M. probably remarried. Has anyone on this list seen or heard the name GALLITZ? Thanks, Jerry Gallitz

Scranton Republican, Saturday, July 13, 1889 FLESH EATING PLANTS [That Botany class again] There's a stone walk all the way up Bald Mount, but in laying it not enough attention was paid to the leveling of the stones and many of them have their edges turned up greatly to the detriment of ladies' shoes. The owners of the property, however, will doubtless see that this thrilling matter is attended to now that their attention has been called to it. Mention might be made of some slight irregularities in the roadway by one disposed to be hypercritical, but the members of the Summer School of Botany would not notice such things in their pursuit of science, as long as the ground beneath their feet was firm and not quaking bog. Some of the members started early yesterday morning, so early that they visited Taylorville, Newton, and other points before commencing the serious work of the assent. The day was delightful, General Humidity was away on a trip to the sea shore and a pleasant breeze from the northwest rocked the tops of the pines and cooled the Botanists as they toiled upward. Some thoughtfully carried water, others sugar, others lemon, so there was no [?]. While huckleberries were abundant only a few rare specimens were found. Portentously Tridentata found no where else in the state was abundant along the rocky cliff. Spleenwort Montanum, the little fern found at Mocanaqua, was found all along the cracks in the conglomerate ledge. Prof. DUDLEY was disappointed in the mountain. The view indeed was beautiful but the flora poor. The canoe birch is found on the top, a fact which may be of interest to the Scranton Rowing Association ow that it is really going to own a boat house. At the Board of Trade rooms in the evening, Prof. Dudley spoke of insectiverous plants. Illustrating his subject with a umber of live specimens. The plants are not only carnivorous, but omnivorous, since the draw nourishment not only from the air, water, and ground as other plants, but, in addition will also draw nourishment from raw meat as well if fed to them in sufficiently small quantities. They usually feed upon insects since the butcher doesn't often call and the flies do. They have a fly trap, but no butcher block. To catch the flies in their traps they have a little honey sac inside, and the way in is guarded by some long hairs. It's very easy to go in but very hard to come out. It's like the Cut oF Canso - "for three that come out, there's nine that go in." After the plant "catches its hare" be it insect, worm, salamander or what not, It proceeds to marinate its meal with a sort of gastric juice to digest it. The plant recognizes the fact that it is easier to catch flies with treacle than vinegar, but having allured it inside with sweet, proceeds to make it up by a dose of sour. This is the way pitcher plants work. The sundews proceed in another way. It uses its drop as a mirror, attracts the insect by its vanity, and while it is admiring itself the plant quickly surrounds in with a cheavaux de friz of sharp points upon which the poor mosquito is impaled, and its juices sucked out as it sucks the juice of a bald-heated man. Summer tourists whose lives have been made miserable by mosquitos on the Jersey coast, will do well hereafter to provide themselves with an assortment of healthy sundews. They can be obtained in marshy places upon Mount Pocono. Darwin found out that the plants digested the food by using colors in the water of the cup that found its way into the cells of the plant. The little Bladderworts found at Lake Henry also devour insects by enticing them into one of its innumerable bladders or sac. The Venus Fly trap, found native only on the sandy plains of North Carolina, is a celebrated insectiverous plant, its leaves are provided with a hinge in the middle and points outside. It baits its trap with homey. When an insect lights on one of its pints the leaf will close almost like a steel trap and the insect is a goner. Darwin, having found the plant would digest beefsteak, tried it with chalk, but the plant refused to even try to eat it. When the plant was deprived of its meat dinner it did not produce many seeds, therefore it is supposed that this flesh diet is useful in making seeds. At the close of the lecture Col. PRICE spoke of the work of the institute and its determination to go on with the summer school. He spoke in warm terms of Prof. Dudley's work and the gratification it had given Scranton to have him here and the appreciation of his work. The class meats this morning at the School of the Lackawanna at nine o'clock. To-day closes a two weeks' series which has been of great value to those who have had the pleasure of enjoying them.

Patrick GOLDEN, of Pleasant Valley, and Robert HESLOP, of Parsons, wrestled for a purse of $100 a side and the gate receipts at parsons, Thursday night, Cumberland style. Heslop floored his antagonist three times in succession and captured the boodle and laurels. Jacob GABEL was brought before the Mayor yesterday for shying stones and other missiles at Hartman's saloon on Northampton street the night before. The culprit was let off on the plea of "first offense" although he didn't attempt to prove an alibi. The Mayor has been asked by Mrs. Mary SIMMONS of Scranton for information regarding the whereabouts of Miss Annie NEWCOMB, who disappeared from her home in Scranton a year ago. [condensed] Mrs. L. W. DINTINGER, of this city, has received a pension from the government of $ 13 per month, the back pension amounting to $1,400. Her claim for pension was on account of the death of her husband from disease contracted while in the army. Mrs. Dintinger was for some years a compositor in the printing offices of this city. A big black dog recently went to the Intelligencer office, applied for, accepted, and showed a determination to hold a position under a desk there until he has a good snooze. It took the Mayor, Chief of Police, Officer PHILLIPS, and Watchman KLEIN with canes, clubs, and a lasso to remove the intruder, after which he was given over to High Constable BAUER, who put him in the pound. The dog bore evidence of rough usage, was unprovided with a silver collar and license to get mad and scatter hydrophobia if he wanted to, and is evidently without friends in the city. TONEY felt sorry for the poor beast and may use him as a nucleus for the establishment of an orphan's home and house of correction for homeless and incorrigible canines. The dead body of a Hungarian, probably thirty-five years of age, was seen by a REPUBLICAN representative lying in the weeds near the old ice house at Duck Pond yesterday afternoon. He was in his working clothes and nobody could be found who knew him or laid claim to the body. Although the reporter tried to find out how he came to be lying there, or the cause of his death, nothing could be ascertained, few being able to understand English, and those who did being extremely reticent. The probability is the man died of heat or of some suddenly brutal form of disease in one of the nearby Hungarian houses, and his friends, not willing to defray the expense of burial had placed him there and were waiting the movements of the poor authorities who must care for the interment of unknowns. Not long ago a man of this nationality was brought home dead at Luzerne and his wife disowned him to avoid burial expenses, and it is very likely the Duck Pond case is of a similar nature.

Scranton Republican, Saturday, July 13, 1889 Scientific news - An ingenious French inventor has produced a self-acting apparatus. A 50-centime piece dropped in the slot of the machine sets in motion the necessary series of operations, the exposure being given after due warning upon one of four dials indicating the progress of the work, and within five minutes a picture is turned out. The Lehigh Valley Railroad has sent a swarm of prospectors into Schuylkill county to investigate the new coal lands that were bought in the vicinity of Minersville. They are going all through the region, making a thorough examination of the geological formation, and selecting the most prominent sites for sinking shafts and erecting breakers. Already two mines have been located, one on the BULLOCK tract, about three miles from Pottsville, and the other on the YORK farm, near Minersville. There are 400 acres in the Bullock tract, and the Lehigh Valley paid $462 an acre, and experts say the land was cheap. The York farm tract has been examined by Heber S. THOMPSON, engineer of the GIRARD estate, who has made a very favorable report of its value. Altogether there are forty-six tracts in the Lehigh Valley's territory and it is believed that coal will be found on all. Geologists say the red ash veins will probably be reached first and the white ash veins will be found beneath and that all veins will be thinner than is the rule in other parts of the county. It is declared, however, that an abundance of coal will be found there and that there is room for ten or a dozen large collieries that can produce 200 cars of coal apiece. This would mean a yearly production of about 2,000,000 tons, all of which will go to market over the Lehigh Valley Railroad. - Philadelphia Inquirer Neighboring Counties - Susquehanna - Mr. and Mrs. Elmer SMITH have been visiting at the home of Mr. David SMITH.
