A Row on a Race Course.

While Trinket and Edward Thorn were
making their second heat, in the presence
of four thousand people at Lee PARK,
Wiikesbarre, Friday, row occurred which
came very near ending in a riot. John S,
Morrison, H. Mitchell, W. B. Rocker and
Harry Hamilton, all Western men, who
had charge of a gambling booth on the
ground, were set upon by a GROW d, headed
by constable named Tammany, who de-
manded that the men stop the game at
once and consider themselves under arrest.
This the men refused to do. Whereupon
Tammany and his posse proceeded to lake
charge OF the money and make the arrests
by lorce, striking the men with Dillies and
the butt end of revolvers. In self defence
the gamblers pulled their reYolvers and a
scene Of great excitement ensued. The au-
deuce on the main stand made a rush for
the scene Of the disturbance and soon the
whole crowd was a yelling mob. The
sympathy of the spectators was with the
gamblers and cries were heard on every
uhuu AAohR hhc SohoAdDlo duu ulS ulusi
"ShoOt the suckers etc. For a while it
appeared as though the excited mob would
carry out their threats, but a pistol was
discharged in the air and the crowd dis
persed in great haste. The managers ol the
race course then came upon the scene and
ordered the arrest of Tammapy and his fol-
lowers, who were unauthorized To make the
arrest. The racing was then resumed.
Many ladies almost tainted during the
progress of the melee, and the Philadelphia
jockeys in attendance on the races said it
was one of the most exciting things they
ever saw al race. At a hearing in the
evening before Alderman Parsons, Tam
many and his pals were held for further
hearing on Saturday. when they were
held to answer at the next term Of the
Luzerne Court.

Stolen from its Cradle.

Pottsyille dispatch of the 1lth inst.
gives the following: John Bachman, a farm
er residing in the Tumbling Run Valley,
few miles from Pottsvile, although all.
most 80 years OF age, would readily pess
for SO. He has been married twice. BY
his first wife he has several sons, who are
married. BY the second wife, who is not
80, be is the father OF three children, the
youngest being only four months old Sun
day evening. accompanied by his wife and
the two older children, he left the house
and went to a favorte shady resort, a
quarter ofa mile distant, leaving the baby
sleeping in the cradle. The doors of the
house were left unlocked A watchdog
however, remained in the yard, Mr.. Bach.
nan and his wife were scarcely seated in
the woods when the dog appeared and kept
up continual bowling, which Bachman
took as warning that all was not right at
home. The family Immediately returned
and were horrified to find that the babe
was missing. The parents Instituted q
search, which was only terminated by dark
ness. No trace oi the child could be found,
Although there was money nd valuables in
the house, nothing was disturbed. Mr..
Bachman, who went to Pottsville Monday
to invoke the aid of the police and the
newspapers cannot see what motive anyone
could have had for stealing his child. It's
mysterious disappearance has caused much
excitement in the neIghborhood.

Mahoning Twinklings.

The farmers of Mahoning expect good
crop of grain and hay this season. But

farmer to do it,"

Lewis outruns Miley.

The one hundred yards foot race between
Miley, of Summit Hill, and Lewis, OF
Wilkesbarre, which has been attracting so
much attention from the sporting men of
Luzerne, Carbon and Schuylkill counties,
came off at Mahanoy City, on Thursday Of
last week. There was large attendance
from the homes Of the runners and each set
of men backed their favortes largely. At
the start Miley led in the betting, but
towards the time set for the race the Lewis
men were shouting themselves hoarse with
bets on their man. The rain interierred
with the start and il was postponed until
about 4.3O p. M. Lewis took the lead at the
start. When he had run fifty yards he
threw up his hands and looked around for
Miley, and then fairly ran from him. He
was an easy winner by four yards. Owing
to the poor condition of the track caused by
the rain the time made was bad, the race
taking about lit seconds.

Compromised.

The committee of the income bondhoders
Of the Central Railroad Of New Jersey and
Joseph W. Burnham, who has begun a suit
to determine the amount of past due IN
terest on the bonds, had a conference Thurs
day of last week with the officers of the
companY aud President F. B Gowen o the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Com
pany, that resulted in compromise of the
differences between the two interests.
According to the plan agreed upon, the
holders of the income bonds are to receive
one and half years interest, or 10! p cent
IN p cent. scrip, convertible into Jersey
Central stock after 1885. This is to cover
all interest up to May l last. The bonds
are to be changed to p cent. coupon
bond, drawing interest from the date men
lloned, and the company is to waive all
right to redeem the bonds before their
maturity in 1908.
