FOKEST CITY.
Thomas J. Pentecost, a prominent
business man of Forest City, met with
an accident Wednesday afternoon that
will probably lay him up for several
week's. He was dtlvlng down Main
street In his delivery wagon, when the
springs broke, allowing the front of the
wagon to drop down. The horse be
came frightened and dashed along at
a furious rate. "When at the corner of
Main and Center streets the animal
turned up the latter thoroughfaie and
Mr. Pentecost was thrown from his
seat to the ground, striking heavily
on his left elbow. The arm is so
badly swollen that It can not yet be
determined how serious the injury Is,
but it seems probable that a severe
fracture has been sustained. Mr. Pen
tecost will probably ? to a hospital
for treatment.
Little Ray Allen, who was so serious
ly Injured on Tuesday, remains In about
the same condition.
The electric lights which have been
placed In the Davis opera house are
a wonderful Improvement on the pre
vious method of Illuminating and are
thoroughly appreciated by Its patrons.
For a town the size of Forest City
or even twice the population we doubt
If In tho state there can be found a
more commodious, well equipped and
(modern appearing place of amuse
ment. W. J. Davis, the Scranton mer
chant tailor, Is tho owner of the build
ing and M. J. Collins, of Forest City,
Is manager of the house.
Black bass, rock bass and wall-eyed
pike cannot be legally caught until the

under the auspices of tho Grand Army
of the Republic post on Decoration
Day. Tho company also decided at Its
last meeting to attend the state fire

Fred "Wollbrock, Robert Ilullah nnd
John Lynch. Thomas P. McCormnck
was choson to fill the vacancy In the
borough legislative body caused by tho
removal from the place of Arnett Ben
nett. The selection wn3 one which, In
tho opinion of The Tribune correspond
ent, will bs generally approved.
Sir. Holloway, who represents a
Scranton syndicate of capitalists, met
with tho council and offered on behalf
of those for whom he spoke to sewer
tho town, without charge, his propo
sition being that mains would be put
In on the principal streets nnd that
property owners would be charged a
certain amount per year for tapping
the mains and using them. He further
stated that tha cost would be one hun
dren and fifty per cent, less per year
to real estate owners than what they
pay for having vaults cleaned out each
spilng. The estimated cost of the sew
erage they would be willing to put In
lieio he thought would be between $35,
000 and $40 000. It was Intimated that
probably the surplus vvat"r on the bor
ough streets could be disposed of free,
us tho sewers would quite frequently
have to be flushed. The members of
the council appeared to be quite fa
vorably Impressed with the plan, but
requested the Scranton man to be pres
ent at tho next regular meeting on
June 2, with fuller details and n speci
fication of what streets his company
would be w llllng to sewer.
Several picperty owners were notified
through tho secretary, to lay sidewalks

tion was read from property owners o

condition. The street committee was
nuthoilzed to Investigate and to make
ths necessary Improvements.
The secretary was Instructed to com
municate with our district senator and
tho representatives from this county,
and to protest against senate bills SSI
and 322, which are Intended to prevent
boroughs ftom competing with local
corporations, thus compelling boroughs
to remain out of the field or else pur
chase the rights and privileges of the
said corporations at any rate which the

THE MARKETS.
Wnll Street Review.
New York, May 20. New Jersey Central
engrossed the largest share of attention
on tho Stock Exchange today and regi3
tered another sensational decline In a long
progress downward. The depression of
such a weight on tho market affected tho
whole list. The general list from tho
opening of tho market showed the effect
of the more serious phase assumed by tho
Cuban question at Washington. Ameri
cans were depressed In London nnd this
was said to bo duo in part to early sales
there on New York orders. New York
opened down to about tho London parity.
Hut there were not lacking evidence or
iccuperatlve power In tho market during
tho day, especially in tho Orangeis and
the railway hat generally.
Total sales of stocks today wore 131,901
shares.

CARPETS ARE DEARER
Today at tho manufacturers' warehouses than thoy havo been
for several years, and they'll undoubtedly go higher. Tho cer
tainty that tho Dingloy bill will beconio a law, accounts for
this fact, and manufacturers' circulars to hand adviso us that
tho increase in prices will average from 25 to 35 per cent., ac
cording to tho grado of yarns used. Notwithstanding these
undeniable facts
BANKRUPTCY AND THE NECESSITY
Of closing out Kerr, Son & Co.'s fino stock of Carpets in tho
following desirable makes, compels us to slaughter prices to a
point hitherto unknown in tho trade. Tho stock includes full
lines of Axminsters, Savonniers, Velvets, Body Brussols, Mo
quettes, Tapestry Brussels, etc., with borders to match. Also
Ex-Super-Ingrains for rooms, halls, stairways or any other
place where hard service is demanded, and tho usual qualities
as all wool and Union Iugrains, China aud Japanese Mattings,

THE SALE MUST CLOSE SOON
This is positive anil tho reductions spoken of aro actuat facts.
