ELECTRIC TROUBLES .
Exciting Scenes on a Car Last
Night.
PASSENGERS INTERFERE.
An Intoxicated Hungarian QuarreIed with
the Conductor and Was Punched and
Kicked by a Little Irishman who OBJ
jeoted to a Draft.

Tho passengers on an electric railway cal
bound from Girardville to this town last
evening had an exciting time over the
wrangling between little Irishman, whose
name cou d not be learned, and stalwart
Hungarian.
Conductor Dooley in charge Of the car,
had demonstrated with the Hungarian for
being tardy in getting on and the Hun, who
was more than half intoxicated, stood in the
| doorway and "sassed back" The little Irish
man occupied seat near the door and the
cold wind blowing through the opening
irritated him. He told the conductor to
make the Hun shut the door and take a seat,
which caused the latter to open an argument
with the passenger.
The situation was becoming very warlike
when the conductorgot the Hun to sit down
and prevailed upon the Irishman to take a
seat at the other end Of the car. But the
Hun was not inclined to be docile, He said
something aggravating and the little Irish
man made sudden rush and the Hun
went spIawling backwards upon the
seat from the force of a blow he
had received on the nose. The con
ductor then interfered and the Irishman was
induced to go back to his seat. Mr. Hun be.
came very unruly and when the car stopped
at Lost Creek the conductor put him off
That's right! that's right" exclaimed the
little Irishman and he gave tho Hun four
hRrd kicks as the latter stepped off the car.
The weather was bitterly cold and the
Hun pleaded fol permission to continue his
homeward journey, He promised to bebave
himself and the conductor relented The
car did not go far before the little Irshman
commenced denouncing the Hungarian and
Shenandoah. He condemned the town
because he said it had nothing but Hungar-
ans in it. The Hun got restless again and
the little Irishmsn put his hand under his
coat tail, declaring he would shoot. At this
point several passengers got hold OF the latter
and gave him some good advice The HUI
got off at No, and there was peace on the
car for the rest of the journey.

ATTEMPTED MURDER .
A Hungarian Beaten and Left
for Dead.
WAS 1T FOR VENGEANCE :
The Victim Was About to be Covered with
Rocks When His Would-be Murderers
Were Frightened Away Probably a Sequel
to an Old Case.

There was almost murder in the First
ward ON Saturday. 1t is not the fault Of the
guilty parties in the case that murder is not
recorded, for they left their victim in condi-
tion which led them to believe he was dead
The victim was Paul Hernoy, a Hungarian
Saturday night he concluded to change his
boarding house. and as he did not know the
exact location Of the place he intended to
move 60 John Warshko John UlJo and John
Shupock volunteered to show him the place.
The quartette started from Franeys row,
at the east end of Centre street, and travelled
along the old road at the foot of the Old Plank
Ridge colliery dirt banks Suddenly Henry
was setupon by the other three men. They
tore every piece of clothing from his body
and there was hardly an inch space on it
that did not bare a bruise or q cut.
Henry says he was sure the men intended
to kill him and to lead them into the belief
they had accomplished their purpose he lay
limp and motionless with his eyes closed
One Of the men wanted to throw his body
into a mine bresch, but the other said it wp0
too far to carry the body and concluded to
cover it up with stones on the spot. This they
undertook but after placing large piece Of
rock, they took from the dirt bank, on the
victims chest and scattering small stones
over other parts of his body, they hurried OIL,
having been started by a noise which they
took for approaching footsteps When con
vinced he was alone Herney removed the
rocks and stones from about him and started
to crawl towards the p. & R. passenger depot.
He was met by NJ. J. Heaton, who assisted
Horney to the depot and afterwards procured
some old clothing for him.
Herney presented terrible sigh when
before Justice Toomey but his mind was
clear and he unhesitttngly gave the names
and descriptions of his assailants He said
he believed the motive was vengeance. He
had but ninety centsau Heaton found that
in a remnant of the clothing the would-be
murderers had torn.
About three weeks ago a Hungarian named
Washock Kobo came to town from Green
Mountain and was O. visitor to the house at
which Paul Heuey was boarder. The
latter missed some money and suspected
Kobo had taken it. Herney was not satisfied
with mere denial of guilt and wanted Kobo
to swear. This Kobo did, bu5 refused to
swear that he had never stolen anything dur.
his residence in this country Henoy there.
upon procured a rope, threw it over It hook,
fastened one end of it about Kobo's neck, and
then drew him mp, Kobo was kept hanging

hey are never satisfied until they tell a new
arrival the histories Of their ueighbors for
years back. How Mr.. b. and his wife have
been separated for so many years and the

wears the most abominable of dresses and
bonuets and her children are disgusting
examples Of uncleanlness; and Mr.. Z. goes

while Mrs. f. goes gadding about among her
neighbors, leaving her home in a filthy con-
didon; or Mrs q. only contributes 25 cents

What the Rev. A. ". keigwin of West
Church Thinks of the Verdict in the
Briggs Case.
The Rev. A. n. Keigwin of West Presby-
terrain Church, Sunday night preached ON
the iinding of the General Assembly in
the Briggs case. After reviewing all the
proceedings attendant upon the affair, he
dtsspnted from the verdict, in the follow
ing terms:
In my estimation have never witnessed
a greater travesty of justice. A more alb
slIrd verdict WAS never rendered and the
man who believes right or fair or Just,
though he undoubtedly may be good
man, is bound at some day III the future to
acknowledge that he was struck with II
panic created by agitators who were jealous
of new school theology, or was q fool.
Remember that the new and old schools
have but one creed, the confession Of faith
and the larger and shorter catechism, But
on one side arc great men who have
advocated 4 binding system of traditional
theology made three centuries, yea Is
centuries ago. The new school theuloSians
on the other hand, with euual ability

last night, was disabled when five miles off
Evanston by the breaking Of the walking
beam. and the subsequent collapse of al
most her entire machinery.
There were 80 passengers on the steamer.
When the accident occurred most of those
had retired To their stuterO0ms.
The scvering of The walking-beam was
accompanied by u terrific report. and the
next instant the connecting machinery
began to crash and fly in segments to all
parts of the engine room
Scenes fthe widest confusion followed,
in which the crew took All excited part
The Muskegon with crew Of 40, was
bound for Menuniminee und intervening
points. The shock and the arrangement
Of the machinery swayed the steamer
from side to- side, us it she was being ham
mered By II baitering ram.
The engineer however s9on stopped the
engines and after the CHATTER of the brok en-
machinery ceased, confidence was speedily
restored.
Later the Muskegon was towed back to
her dock.
The Muskegon is the steamer which was
reported last night to be OH tire in the lake.
which report originated by reason Of the
| signals of distress sent up from the vessel.
| No one was injured.
