suffered inGesoribable mental torture as be

him and realized that In fe@ moments be
would be crushed to death. Scanlin was
yardmaster st the Pavonis car shops of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. With wife and
six Chi 'dren he lived at Camden.
Late on Monday night while walking
across the tracks in the railroad yard his

master real;zsd that unless he obtained
speedy relief his life was hardly worth 8
song. He cried wildly for help, thinking
some of his fellow-workmsn would hear ar d
cone to bis relief, but the clang OF the en-
CINE bells and the hies of escaping steam
drowned bis voice.
Oessing bis cries, he bent over to tear open
his shoe In desperate effort to draw out
the imprisoned foot. While bending over
he heard noise that sent o thrill Of terror
through every nerve. a freight car, on g
flying drill, was bearing swiftly down upon
him. Again frantic cries were borne out on
the night breezs but no human aid could
now save the imprisoned man. The freight
car was almost upon him.
With the desperation that comes to mon in the
face of certain death, Yardmssser scanlin threw
himself away from the track, hoping to snap of
his leg at the anKle and thus save his life. He

Even yet his foot remained in the frog. He was
placed upon stretcher and hurried by a special
engine down to The Cooper Hospital, Camden.
Every effort was made to save his life but he died

THOSE HUNS NOT WANTED.

Large Sums of Money Sent to Foreign
Countries by Workmen Here.
An item from New York published in
THE DISPATCH yesterday gave particulars
of the detention by Government officials of
six newly-arrived Hungarians as contract
laborers, each claiming he had been sent for
to work at Csrnegie's works in this vicinity.
An employe at Carnegie's Homestead
works, in an interview on the subject yes
terday, said:
SIT is a custom with the Huns, Poles,
Slavs and other foreigners to send for their
relatives when they become intrenched in
any of our large industrial establishments.
1t is unjust to impute to the management
that they send for them. There is no neces-
sity for it. The foreigners are always ready
to send passage money to bring their rela-
tives to this country.
'The average amount sent to Hungary
and other countries through the Homestead
National Bank is about So, 900 per month,
and the bulk of this is the earnings of men
occupying the lowest positions in the mills.
The Carnegie firms do not import labor.
Not one man was imported for their great
armor plant when it was started, although,
it being a new industry, they could under
the law have imported as many as they de-
eirad -

Sharpsburg Borough to Furnish Incan-
descent Lamps to Its Citizens.
A proposition by which the town govern
ment will supply the citizens with incan-
descent electric lights for domestic use at
cost is being considered by the Borough
Council of Sharpsburg. The matter was
suggested by Burgess Lloyd at Council meet
ing the other night and met with such favor
that resolution was passed to secure esti-
mates on suitable plant at once.
Mr.. Lloyd thinks a plant capable oe fur
nishing lights for every dwelling and busi-
ness house in the town can be erected at a
cost of $4,000. The cost to the people
would not exceed 20 cents per light
per month, and after the plant is
company which supplies the town at present
charges a high rate, and the gas bill is big
item of household expense to the Sharps-
burger. This company has not given a very
satisfactory article for some time, and the
complaints are so numerous that the incan-
descent light scheme will probably go
through. II it does the gas company will
have to fall back on tine omnibus charter,
under which it operates, and go into some
other branch of business.
The street lighting of Sharpsburg is now
done with an electric plant owned by the
borough at a cost much below what Pitts
burg or Allegheny pays. They have water.
works which supplies the town with pres
sure that will throw a stream over any
building in it, and the water taxes, while
lower than either of the two cities, pays
all running expenses, pays the interest on
$60, 900 worth of bonds issued to build the
works, as we'll as the $500 annually re-
required to lift matured bonds, and allows
q snug balance to go over into the borough
treasury each year. A light plant is ex-
pected to do equally well.

SOLDIER MULLEN STABBED.

Thomas McAuliffe Under Arrest for the
Cutting-The whereabouts of the In
jured M.r Are Unknown-Information
to Be Made To-Day.
Assistant Police Superintendent O'Mara
last night arrested Thomas McAuliffe. and
will this morning make information against
him for felonious cutting. McAuliffe is a
one-armed young man, we'll known about
town. The Assistant Superintendent
learned last night that Wednesday night
he had been in a difficulty with John Null
len, better known as "Soldier," in Sixth
street saloon. A man who saw the affair
said McAuliffe hit Mullen with beer glass,
and then cut him in the abdomen with a
knife.
1t is understood that Mullen is in verv
critical condition, but as the matter was
kept quiet and he was hurried away it is
not known where he now is. McAuliffe
was locked up in Central station. His
friends wanted to get him out, but owing to
the uncertainty about Mullen's condition
this was refused. They claim Mullen in
suited him. but there was no stabbing. The
case will be further investigated to-day.
As John Mullen is familiarly known,
Soldier is probably one of the best
known characters in Pittsburg. In appear
ance he is gentlemanly. He is inoffensive,
and is generally careful about his dress.
His round, full face is always cleanly
shaven. He is generally to be found with
his companions at Smithfeld street and
Diamond alley, and he is familiarly known
to every police officer in the city. In the
summer he travels about to the country
fairs. He deals in cheese of all kinds, and
the saloon keepers of the two cities are his
customers.

WILL DEMAND THE BOOK.

Allegheny Auditors Claim the Street Rail-
way Companies Are Hedging.
The Allegheny auditors, who are at pres
ent working on the claims against the Pleas
ant Valley and Manchester Street Railway
companies, assert that the managers of the
roads have refused to give up certain i'm
portant books They say they have au-
thority to demand the books, and that they
will do so.
1t is stated that there is little war
among the reformers to determine what
charges shall be brought against ex-Mayor
Pearson. DR.. Clifford, it is claimed, is de-
termined to have the additional charge of
extortion preferred, while the attorneys in
the case think the present one of embezzle-
ment is sufficient The information with
regard to Chief Murphy will not be given
until after the meeting of Councils The
resolution of the Auditing Committee will
have to be confirmed before anything is
done, and it is now considered doubtful
whether Councils will sanction the action
of the committee. There is a strong feeling
IN favor of vindicating Mr.. Murphy, and it
is probable that fight will be made to
do so.
