Local Genius Who Made Good and

his means and so he resolved to try his hand
at making it, as he always had fondness for

He first made draft of a machine and then

the wheels are made of white ash hickory
and white oak woods, and the spokes are
made of gum wood. The tires are made of

inches in height and one revolution drives

The bicycle has not cost the genius more

made in securing the tires. All the work on

AN ODD CASE.
Frank sIncusISy is Prosecuted by His Best
Girls Parents.

Frank Slncusky Is Pr jseoutsd by His Best
Girls Parents.
Love has enabled Frank Sincusky to find
the way into law suit in consequence of
which he spent yesterday in the lookup. The
peculiar feature about the case is that al
though Frank refuses to marry his sweetheart,
Mary Kavocesky, and he is in limbo because
of the refusal, the couple are on the best of
terms and all day yesterday Mary stood with
out the cell door, alternately weeping over
her troubles and giving her lover consolation.
According to the story told the Justice yes.
terday Mary and Frank secured marriage
license year ago, but the girls parents were
opposed to taking the young man as a son in.
law and the wedding ceremony was never
performed. Notwithstanding the suspension
of the nuptial arrangements the couple stuck
to each other as the little winged pests stick
to fly paper, and few days ago Mary parents
concluded to ask Frank to get married or go
down to POttsvlle after the next fall election
When the option was placed before Frank
he said that times were so hard he found it
difficult to keep up three trip line of COM
ach; and should he be called upon to support
two, one or both would have to starve. The
girl sided with her lover and said she was
willing to wait, but the parents argued that
as Cleveland had given up fishing and an ex-
ira session of Congress would soon be held the
chances of Frank managing to support two
were pretty fair. Frank stood on his base
and Mary coached him in great style You're
dandy waiter" she cried.
The girls parents concluded to give the
young man time for reflection, but upon hear
ing that the couple were together in the
house of mutual friend they buckled on
their trappings of war and made another
charge. They hastened to the lair and were
confronted by the daughter, who had locked
her lover in a bed room and refused to give
up the key. Frank subsequently surrendered
to Constable Toomey and went to the lookup
with iaunty step. His sweetheart upbraided
her husband and remained in the corridor OF
the Jail until bail was secured.

ELECTRIC RAILWAY.
The Traction Company Held Meeting
Here Yesterday.

Here Yesterday.
A business meeting of the sohuylkill Trac-
ton Company was held here yesterday after
noon. President Bailey, Hon. d. d. Phillips,
MaoHenry Wilhelm, Esq, and John f. Fin
ney were in attendance. Matters of much
Importance in reference to the Lakeside
branch were considered and the reports re-.
ceived were of an encouraging nature.
The company has decided to push all new
and repair work now under way to speedy
completion on all the branches controlled by
the company. The right of way over all p. &
r. and private lands has been granted for the
construction of the Lakeside branch, from
Yatesville TO Mahanoy City, and work will
be pushed on this road, as it is the desire of
the company to have that branch completed
within a short time. The rails arrived last
evening and were unloaded at the Pennsyl.
vania depot this morning. A gang of men
will beput to work ON Centre street either
the latter part of this or the first of next
week. 1t is said the road will be in full opei-
alton between Shenandoah and Mahanoy
City before October 14th.
The Lakeside branch is looked upon by
well informed persons as likely to become the
most popular of the whole system. 1t will
unquestionably be the most profitable branch
to the company from a financial standpoint
as the traffic over the road when completed
will be enormous. During the past month
the various branches now in operation
carried 10000 passengers, and with the COM
pletion of the new branch that figure will be
greatly increased.

From the Ashland Telegram.
The actions of four of Shenandoah's sporty
boys ON Center street Sunday evening was
the subject of considerable comment. These
fellows drove here in blue bodied, two
seated carriage with yellow trimmings, and
the horses were dressed in yellow harness.
During the afternoon they drove about town
using the horses in a disgraceful manner. In
the evening they could not go fast enough
for them and the whip was applied, until the
people became indignant, and Chief Burgess
Denahoe was called on to arrest them. The
same story of their actions is told at Gordon
and Locust Dale. About 1920 o'clock
Burgess DonahOe pulled them in, but they
begged so pitiously to be left Off that he ac-
ceded on their promise to go straight home
and quit abusing the horses

Denv.r's Relief Camp sim Running.

DENVER, Aug. s.-The public charity
camp which has been maintained under
military supervision at River Front Park
for two weeks was not abandoned yester-
day as had been announced, and about 400
men are still being fed and lodged in the
militia tents there. The authorities fear
to break up the camp and turn out upon
the city a small army of hungry men,
Every effort is being made, however, to
discourage unemployed men from the
mining towns from coming to the Denver
relief camp, as it is very difficult to raise
funds TO feed those already there.

these people have of the man.
At an early hour this morning Larkin was
placed in the lock up by Constable Peters on
warrant issued by Justice Green, of VIM.
Penn. The warrant charged that Larkin
stole razor from an Arabian woman peddler
and beat James Judge, of Lost Creek, who
interfered when the theft was committed.
1t was 8 a. IN. when Larkin was placed
under lock and key. At $40 a. m. Constable
Tosh took a prisoner from one Of the cells
and he says at that time Larkin was sitting
quietly in his cell; at $50 Chief Burgess paid
visit to the lock up and was greatly surprised
to find that Larkin had not only escaped, but
the cell he had occupied and the one adjoin-
ing it looked as ifthey had been wrecked by
some explosive.
LaTkin had occupied the second cell from
the east end of the corridor. The cell at the
east end contained no prisoner. When
the escape was discovered the Burgess found
that the top part of the iron grated door of
Larkin's cell had been forced from its hinges
and doubled inward so that it left space
sufficient for mans body to pass through. A
| SlnAll lduueT which was IOTlu6Ily uheu 10 llBuL
the street lamps showed how Larkin reached
the window at the east end Of the corridor
and jumped into the yard at the rear of the
Columbia Hose Companys stable.
The wide plank which had been used in
sleeping bunk in the cell Larkin occupied had
been torn from its fastenings and reclined
against the inner wall of the cell Immediately
next to the door in such a manner as to form
means for climbing up to the opening that
was made.
In the empty cell at the east end of the cor
ridor the heavy planks had been torn from
the top and front of the urinal, and this ex-
posed to view an opening large enough for
tools to be passed into the cell Larkin occu-
pied.
Everything indicated that Larkin had out
side assistance, but nothing was left behind
to show with what instruments the benches
Ofthe TWO cells had been wrecked or how the
cell door had been forced.
The escape will no doubt come up in some
form at the meeting of the Borough Council
tonight. One of the questions no doubt
hinges on the responsibility of this borough
or West Mahanoy township for the repairs Of
the lookup.
