NEW CLUB ROOMS OPEN Chicago, Jnn. 1.—"Build an airship, go And the north pole and report by wireless telegraphy find submarine cables the progress of your efforts." This wus the startling assignment given a few days ago to Walter Wellman, Washington correspondent of the Chicago Hecord-Hernld, by Frank B. Noyes, editor In chief of the paper, and the commission has been accepted bj Mr. Wellman. As an assistant Mi Wellman will have Alberto Santos-Damon*. the famous aeronaut of Paris. The airship will be built under the supervision of M. RuntoS-Pnmont and will be completed by the end of next April. Xo definite date has been set for the start ou the Journey, but it Is expected that everything will be in readiness to get away next J.uly or early In August. Italian's Store in Scranton Fraternal Order of Eagles Have Fine Quarters. Wrecked by a Bomb. In regard to these reports, Commissioner Dixon said today: "Although the returns up to the present time are very far from complete owing to failure on the part both of distributors and physicians to fully understand the regulations and the importance of strict compliance with them, they are sufficient to be very encouraging. Many precious lives are being saved. The total number of cases actually reported from Nov. 3rd to Dec. 24th, is 160, of which only 22 died, or & percentage of 13 3-4. When it Is remembered that the percentage of mortality In diphtheria as shown by carefully prepared tables ranges from 36.48 to 48.44. averaging 43.20, in cases where antitoxin is not employed, the Inference Is not only justifiable but unavoidable that In these few weeks since the plan has been inaugurated there has been a diminished tfpath rate In these particular cases of 29.45 per cent, or a saving of 47 lives. "But this Is not all. The antitoxin was made use of for immunising purnoses in 53 cases, in the families of which these cases occurred and as there is no report of these cases having contracted the infection it is fair to presume that It was to a considerable extent, actually prevented »*y {he use of this prophylactic. Additional Information eained from these reports Is to the effect that the antitoxin  not resorted to as early as It should have been in the majority of the cases, or administered In sufficiently large quantities. Otherwise the resUlts would have been still more gratlfylrtg." The wish Is father to the widely circulated report. But Durnovo has behind him a powerful clique of reactionaries who believe that only his stern pfollcy can end anarchy.

' William McChrone, night telegraph I operator for the Ontario & Western Railroad Co., at the station on Belmont street, Carbondale, had a thrilling experience early this morning with a raving maniac who was armed with a carpenter's axe. About 3 a. m., while McChrone was sitting at his desk, the door of the office was suddenly burst open, and when he wheel, ed around to learn who the intruder was a wild-eyed man. attired in his . night dress only and wielding an axe, ' confronted him. A struggle ensued between the two men, and Anally Mc- Chrone overpowered his assailant sufficiently to enable him to wire an emergency call to the Mayfleld yard. As quickly as possible help was sent him on a special engine. When the help arrived the man with the axe was lying on the floor of the office, ex- Ihausted, and the operator was nearly frightened out of his wits. Investigation revealed that the stranger was Albert Stone, aged 28 years, who lives at 64 Cemetery street, Carbondale. He had been ill of diphtheria and his mind had been affected. While his nurse was absent from his room for , a few moments, he escaped through a window and reached the telegraph office.
