THREE DAYS IN A HUT.
A Man Lying Helpless With a Broken Leg
With No One to Aid Him.

A Man Lying Helpless With a Broken Leg
With No One to Aid Him.
BEAVER FALLS. Feb. FL Special. l.
Last evening as Farmer George Imwood was
passing an old deserted stone quarry near
Homewood he heard moans issuing from an
old hut. Imwood found man lying in one
corner on the ground, with his leg broken
in two places. The unfortunate man was
removed to Imwood's home nearby. When
he was recovered somewhat he told ter
rible story of starvation and suffering.
He said his name was Robert Hastings,
from ST. Louis, carpenter, but he had been
on the tramp since last summer. Monday
evening he left Pittsburg for New Castle,
and had got as far as near Homewood when
he lost his way in the darkness. While
wandering about he fell over a precipice a
large rock striking him on the leg He
tainted. but soon recovered consciousness
and crawled into the hut for shelter, where
he again became unconscious. He was
obliged to lay alone in the hut from Mon
day evening until last night, 72 hours, with
nothing to eat or drink except snow. His
leg had swollen up to an enormous size, and
he looked all over for some weapon to end
his life and mis- misery. The man is still
living, but is reported low tonight, and his
recovery is doubtful

lie Has Created a Commotion by Attempt
ing to Reform mNewark-The c City Officials
Are Not Inclined to Assist Him in His
Work
Captain Wishart, according to the New
York Sun of yesterday, is creating quite a
commotion in Newark n. j. He is the new
Secretary of the Law and Order League OF
Newark, and is trying to enforce the Sun
day laws In Newark as strictly as they are
enforced in Pittsburg He has been keeping
tab on the saloons on Sundays for month
or two
Just now the authorities do not like the
idea of meddling with the state of affairs in
Newark, 1t is deemed impolitic, to say the
least, for the saloon interest has heavy
foot on the politics of that portion of New
Jersey. Saloons are open on every Sunday
in the year, and about all the police attempt
is to see that they are closed at midnight on
Saturday; but before o'clock on Sunday
morning business is resumed. Only side
doors are open in the center of the city, but
the only perceptable difference is that
blinds are drawn on Sunday which are open
on other DAYS. Captain Wishart has re-
ported 30 or 40 saloons open for each Sum-
day since January 26, and has commun-
icated with the Mayor, the Chief of Police,
the Excise Commissioners, the City At
torney and the Prosecutor of the Pleas,
giving in each report the address of the
license holders, but not their names.
Mayor Haynes, of Newark, was inter-
viewed by San reporter, and said: 81 am
astonished to find that man who comes
here to the city of Newark from Pittsburg
spends his time on Sunday in saloons as he
has. He is not yet entitled to vote in this
city. He could not have got his informa-
tion in any other way except from per-
sonal examination of the saloons. I am
sorry to find that he spends his Sundays in
that way instead of going to church"
Superintendent of Police Brown said he
was too busy with work of more importance
to pay any attention to the Anonymous"
communications of this man. President
Schalk said the communication to the Excise
Board was read and placed on file Police
Commissioner Strahan said the reports
were held under advisement, having been
read in a regular session of the board.

ALLERT0N AND AXTELL.
The Two Famous Trotters VIII Meet On
the Track This Season.

The Two Famous Trotters VIII Meet On
the Track This Season.
CHICAGO. Feb. &c. w. Williams, OF
independence, Ia, was in Chicago all day
yesterday on his way from Lexington, KY,
to his home. He confirmed the news that
A1lerton, -2:09H, and Axtell, PIP, would
meet on the track this season.
eff both horses do well, as seems almost
certain, said he, "they will trot not one,
but three matches next. summer, meeting
first at Independence, Allerton's home. in
August; at Terre Hsute, Axtell's home, in
September; and at Lexington, neutra'
ground, in October. I think Allerton will
win two or three of the races, because he is
mine, and a great horse. / would not have
made the races if I did not expect to get
them"
"But Axtell can trot faster than his
record, made as a 3-year-old."
II know that, but shall train and drive
Allerton.'
Budd Doble, who owns an interest in
Axtell, will train and drive him. The races
will attract more attention than any trotting
events of late years. Both horses are 6
years old, both great trotters, both were
bred by Williams, and both are by sons of
George Wilkes out of daughters of Nam
brino Boy. Williams sold Axtell for $780,
900 and Allerton is without price.

Gaut, the Alleged Incendiary, Tells His
Story on the Stand.
GREENSBURG, Feb 12-The testimony
for the prosecution closed in the Gaut arson
case at noon with the evidence of Constable
Over, of Irwin. He stated that Gaut had
given him $50 to give Hyatt, and if the
latter accepted it he was to have good
case against Hyatt for blackmaiL This
afternoon Senator Robbins opened the case
for the defense, the first witness being the
defendant, w. R. Gaut. He told straight
forward story, and every effort of the pro-
secution to rattle the young man failed.
He emphatically denied that he had any
thing to do with the burning, and said that
Constable Over came to him awhile before
his arrest, and, taking him into private
corner in a hotel in Irwin, told him that
Detective Murphy, of Pittsburg, had en-
pioyed him (Over) on the arson case, and
that Murphy had told him he was after
Gaut in order to make a case for the'in-
surance companies. Constable Over told
me-" continued Gaut, ''that he suspected
Hyatt of the burning, but that Detective
Murphy said he didn't care who burned the
property only so (Gaut) was mixed up in
it. Witness said he and his mother con-
tributed 500 toward $500 reward. Re-
garding the $50 paid to Constable Over, the
witness stated that he had given it TO Over
to give to Hyatt, because the constable had
told him they wanted Hyatt to stay in
Irwin, and they would have to pay him to
do so. Witnesses were then called from
Irwin and the neighborhood who testified
as to the uniform good character of the
defendant

Secretary McCracken Returns From the
East and Talks a bout Horses.
Secretary John McCracken, of the Home
wood Driving Park, returned from the East
yesterday and was delighted at the pros
poets for the coming trotting season. Dur
ing a conversation with the writer he said:
''We will not join any organization ex-
cept the one we are in. But we will still
hold what we call our June meet
ings; that. is, the races will commence
on Decoration Day and continue until June
8. Of course, THE DISPATCH stated this
some time ago, and there has been no
change made. We can get plenty of horses
for the fve-day meeting, and we will offer
very good purses Altogether think we
will have about 13 or IA different classes for
the meeting.
"When in New York met all the lead
ing horsemen, and they were all of opinion
that this will be the greatest year for trot-
ting races on record. There are more trot-
ters and PAGERS than ever, and every track
is offering unusually big purses. General
satisfaction has been given by the Board of
Review expelling Noble and his horse
Aleryon. Noble was most to blame for the
crooked races.

REVERSED THE PARDON BOARD.
Governor Fattison Refuses CIemency in
Two Allegheny County Cases.

Governor Fattison Refuses CIemency in
Two Allegheny County Cases.
Two men, Daniels and Beehan, were con-
victed here some time ago of a crime which
resulted in the death of man who had at
tackled them. The Court held that they
should not have resorted to violent meas
ures until compelled to do so in self-de-
fense. Yesterday it was argued before the
board that the contemplation of the law was
to prevent the use of deadly weapons until
an absolute necessity arose, and as fists were
used and the man died from a fall, the
Court had erred. The Board of Pardons
took this view of the case and recon-
mended the pardon of the prisoners.
The Governor refused to extend executive
clemency in accordance with the rule laid
down in his inaugural, in which he said
81 do not believe that the Pardon Board
was intended to be court of last resort for
reviewing the legality of the Judgment of
the courts below, and their decisions upon
points of law and the weight of evidence" ="
Governor Pattison also refused to pardon
Phoebe Collins, of Pittsburg, in whose
case the board recommended executive
clemency

Cary Will Sprint Again.

CHICAGO, Feb. 12-[Spsciaz J. Champion
Sprinter Luther Cary will wear the colors
of the Chicago Athletic Club in 1893, ac-
cording to his own statement made yester-
day. When the announcement was made
last fall that be had permanently retired
from the path there was regret expressed on
every side. The athletic fever, however,
which has been steadily growing in Chicago
has had its effect on Cary, who is now in
the path again next year. Cary is life
member in the Manhattan Athletic Club
by virtue of winning national champion
ship under the clubs colors If he wore
the colors of the Chicago club at a. cham
pionship he would forfeit this membership.
