A RUNAWAY ELECTRIC CAR.

Dashes Down Grade, Overturns n Buggy
and Breaks Through the Railroad Safety
Gates-Punic Among the Passengers
Two Persons Seriously Hurt.
An accident in which q carload of pas
sengers were nearly dashed to death oc-
CURED about 6 o'clock yesterday evening at
the Sandusky street crossing of the West
Penn Railroad. Electric car No. 124 Of
the Pleasant Valley line got beyond the
motor mans control while rounding the
corner of Ohio and Sandusky streets and ran
down the steep grade at a terrific rate Of
speed. The motor man applied the brakes
but fahed to check the cars speed. The
passengers became panic-stricken and made
q rush for the door.
The conductor prevented several ladies
from jumping off the runaway car, which
must have been going at the rate OF 80 miles
an hour. As the car neared Stockton ave-
nue. the motormen saw that collision was
imminent with carriage and buggy,
which stood at the railroad crossing wait
ing for q passing train to pass.
he motioned for the driver to pull of, which
was done barely in time to escape coming in
contact with the electric car. In the buggy
W0lcl SIOOQ nearest the SAFETY gates was
seated Miss Annie McCleary, Of Duquesne
Heights, and Harvey Ferguson, of No. 8
River avenue, boy about Is years ol d.
The occupants tried to jump from the
buggy, but before they succeeded the car
struck the buggy and hurled it around
against the gates. smashing through the frail
barrier The car continued on, with the
buggy sliding along the street and pushed
the vehicle up alongside the moving train.
Luckily the train had not got started fairly
we'll, having just left the depot one square
below. The speed of the car had been
checked somewhat in colliding With the
buggy and stopped on the north track. The
shrieks of the lady passengers in the car
were terrible, and the male passengers could
not restrain their fears and made
frantic efforts to get out of the cars,
which did not allay the ladies' fears in the
least. The train was stopped and the car
also came to a standstill in striking the
train.
Miss McCleary had her left arm and right
leg broken in attempting to get out of the
buggy. She was carried into the under
taking rooms of Perry Charles, at the cor
ner OF Stockton avenue, and was removed
later to the Allegheny General Hospital.
Young Ferguson, in some unaccountable
manner, had one of his ears taken off and
got badly used up otherwise. The motor
man refused to proceed with the car, and
gave himself up at the Allegheny Mayors
Office, but was released shortly afterward,
when it was learned that the injuries Of the
lady and boy were not serious.

Labor Day Will Witness Big Demonstra-

NEW PAINT WORKS In ALLEGHENY CITY

Pittsburg is every day becoming more
widely known and recognized as the center
of great manufacturing enterprises. She
not alone originates great works OF her own,
every year adding to her wealth and popu-
lation, but attracts capital from outside for
investment in her projects. Eastern men
especially are beginning to recognize that
to keep pace with the growth Of trade they
must be in the midst of it, and they are not
slow to see that New York is no longer the
magnet around which manufacturing enter
prises cling.
The newest accession to the list of manu-
featuring works proposed to be located in
the district is the Peckham Car Wheel Com
pany, of New York, whose works are at
Kingston, on the Hudson. A controlling
stockholder in the concern, Mr.. John
Hunter, Jr., has been here for some time
past examining localities and obtaining data
on suitable sites. He was favorably i'm
pressed with site near Duquesne, and also
with one in the city. Before leaving he
positively stated that the company has de-
cided to locate plant near Pittsburg.
The operations of this company has so in
creased as to compel it to look for larger
quarters than it now possesses. The plant
to be erected here will cost about $4,000
including the cost of the site The works
will be extensive, covering about ten acres
and furnishing employment for 900 men.
Mr.. Hunter was greatly impressed with the
facilities for transportation which this city
possesses, and also with the advantages at
tached to the use of natural gas. which he
believes Is an important factor in the de-
velopment of the district. He has returned
East to lay his report before the Board Of
Directors, and within short time it is ex-
pected negotiations will be on foot for the
purchase Of ground.

BANKS TOUCHED UP.
A Supposed Postal Employe Who
Changed the Reading Of Checks.
sM'KEAN WARNS LOCAL BANKERS.
The Union National and Pennsylvania Re
lieyed Of Small Sums.
A NOVEL METHOD OF GETTING MONEY

There is a very slick individual some
where in the Postofice Department or out
Of 1t, either in the railway mail service or
in the local office, who is bound to come to
grief sooner or later. He has hit
on rather a novel idea Of getting
money from bankers in an illegitimate way,
or it is the old story of man trying to earn
his living without working for it. A eircu-
lar of warning to bankers from Postmaster
Mexican fell into the hands of reporter
yesterday, and gave the hrst
inkling of the fellows clever but
simple method of work. When the
postmaster was shown his circular and
asked for information he was almost par
alyzed, for he we'll knew it had not leaked
out through his department. He frankly
stated that he transacted the business OF his
office with the department, and said he never
talked about matters that would best serve
the ends of justice by keeping quiet in hopes
that the rascal might be caught.
WARNING TO BANKERS.
The circular was sent to The DISPATCH
by local banker. who wished to warn his
brethren in the country districts. It reads
thus, as it comes from the postofice:
To Bankers:
desire to call your attention 20 the fact that
within the past month two bankers in this city
have paid checks which were originally drawn
to the order of out-of-town firms The checks
in each instance were altered and falsely made
payable to bearer. In each Of these cases the
letters which contained the checks in question
are supposed to have been deposited in the
mails. have, therefore, to request that you
will cause to be carefully scrurinized all checks
presented for payment drawn to an individual
| or firm and made payable to bearer.
In the case Of check from PAY to the order
Of" the words 'the order Off will be stricken
out, and the words "or bearer" added after the
name with an attempt to initiate the hand
writing in the body of the check. This was
successfully worked in one instance. In the
other where the check was printed "or bearer" /"
the lines in ink through the word bearer" +" and
the word 'order' were successfully removed
| with acid. Please note carefully description
of any one presenting checks which appear to
have been altered in the manner described.
TWO OF THEM CAUGHT.
The two banks in question are the Union
National and the Pennsylvania, out in Law
renceville. The first cashed a check that
had been doctored for $72 30. In this case
the word "bearer'had been crossed out with
two lines by the maker, and the word "order"
placed over 1t. "Order" was scratched out
and the lines carefully removed, leaving it
read "to bearer" All such checks in any
bank are cashed without Identification Of
the person being required.
The Pennsylvania bank was touched for
1862 in similar way. Both banks were re-
lieved about month apart, showing that
the fellow is still at work. The postofice
inspectors and detectives are at work
on the case and hope to soon jerk up the Of
fender.

Sergeant McQuaid, Of the southside po-

with Polish prisoner named Peter Schinski,
last night. Schinski was arrested for dis
orderly conduct, and after his arrival at the
station house, the Sergeant went to the cell
door, pad in hand, tosask him the usual
questions. The following dialogue took
place:
"Have you wife?"
'I did have, but haven't got any now"
"Why don't you live with her?"
"No, I did, but I concluded 1t was
cheaper to live alone and let her CO."
"Didn't you have any trouble with her?"
mo. Didn't just tell you decided
that she cost me too much and told her to
leave, and she did? That's all there is in
it."
The man while talking was very frank in
manner. By inquiry it was found that the
practice was not an uncommon one among
the Poles for the men and women to 60 their
separate ways when the man finds that the
woman's company is no longer desirable.

Yesterday was pay day, and Philip Saul,
Of Welsh way, Southside, decided to cele-
brate the event. 1t took a good deal of
beer, but at last he was in a condition to de-
clare that he was king, and finally. as the
stage of hilarity worked of, he wandered to
his home and sought to enjoy q blissful
sleep, free from care.
He says that his wife objected to his
actions, and, while he was lying on the bed,
she hit him on the head with hatchet.
The scuf1e that followed brought Officer
Dave Smith to the spot, and in few mo-
ments Saul was giving his pedigree to the
Sergeant at the station house. DR.. William
Stewart examined his, head 1t looked like
raw beefsteak, but the prisoner was so

After a while he commenced to think that
