COOL AS A
CUCUMBER.
Nothing Seems to Daunt Young
Peter Lipman.
YOUNG, BUT AUDACIOUS
He Has TWO Escapes on His Record
Which Would Make Old Criminals
EnviouS-Broke Out OF Jail Once.

There was hardened little character
before Justice Shoemaker yesterday after.
charged with an indecent assault upon
a little girl. He was Polish boy named
Peter Lipman. He is slightly over four
teen years of age, bright and quite intelli-
gent, but very much depraved morally
His assurance matched that of an adept
in crime and sentiment seems foreign to
his nature
Lipman has been under the charge now
being pressed against him since the 10th
of last July. He was arrested twice, but
escaped before he could be given hear
ing and succeeded in eluding the officers
until yesterday, when he was captured
after hot chase on the kOhinoor cOlliery
dirt bank by Constable Taliesin Phillips.
The complainant in the case is Mrs
Emma Hinterliter, who makes the charge
in behalf of her thirteen-year-old daugh-
ter, Sallie. The circumstances Of the
case and reputation of the accused are
such that the court may deem 1t advis-
able to send him to a areformatory.
When Lipman was first arrested he
was placed in the lookup to await hear
ing, but when the officer returned to the
cell he found the prisoner had escaped by
tearing up the board flooring. Lipman
| kept shady for a while and then secured
One day special officer Saduskey walked
into the breaker and placed the boy
| under arrest. Lipman was taken by sur
prise, but he did not lose his wits. On
the contrary he told the officer that hand
cuffs were unnecessary and he would
| most willingly walk to the Justices
Office but when passing an open window
the young rascal leaped through it to the
ground, twenty feet below. He escaped
injury and got away from the colliery be-
fore the officer could find his way out of
| the breaker.
From that time until yesterday Lip.
man remained at large. He took to
| cumming and kept at a safe distance
| from all people he suspected of being
officers of The law. Yesterday he was
| spotted and taken by surprise at the
KOhinoor dirt bank. He attempted tC
escape, but hadn't a sufficient lead, and
the hot sprint he made way a fruitless

Lipman's parents refused TO have any.
thing to do with him yesterday. His six
| teen-year-old brother was the messenger
| sent to his parents. He returned to the
| Justices Office saying, "Mother says they
can do as they please with you you are
no good and she won't have anything tC
do with you"
"All right" said the prisoner, 81 guess
| l can do for myself, them
The brother added, "She says shes

Mr.. Ferguson DefieS the Masses and Acts
at Leisure.
At about eight O'Clock last evening
several members of the Phoenix Hose
Company wended their way along East
Centre and South White streets, drawing
the hose carriage with mufIied bell. Many
OF the people who saw the carriage eX-
claimed Fire p' and prepared themselves
for the sounding of the fire alarm bell, bat
it didn't ring. The fremen were not on
their way to respond to a call of duty, but
to indulge in little frOlic. Arriving in
front of Mr.. p j, Ferguson's mansion on
South White street they halted the hose
carriage and commenced to ring the
previously mutlled bells with all the vigor
their muscles could command. "Big Jim
Mitchell, with wrench in hand tackled
the water plug at the corner of White and
Oak stree S, but the water was turned
of and the hose display contemplated for
the sereuade of Mr.. Ferguson aud his
bride was dispensed with. 10 did not take
long for the small boy to get himself
together aud the neighborhood was soon
awakened by joyous shouts. Among the
early arrivals was Postmaster Mellet,
who stationed men in front, behind
and at either side of the house and
supplied them bOuntifully with fireworks.
Sky rockets, flower pots, Roman candles
aud other explosives burst forth in all
their glory and vigorously competed with
the red lights in producing a Fourth Of
July glare. For over half an hour
the serenade was kept up, but M,
2. j. remained ia retirement He
was the Ajax of the hour and no amount
of coaXing could induce him to appeal.
After the firemen and the boys became
wearied and just as they were about to
take their apparatus and start for home
Mr. Ferguson appeared upon the front
porch of his residence with countenance
all in smiles and stated that while the siege
was in progress his emissaries had forti-
fed the two assembly rooms in the theatre
building with an orchestra and enough
refreshments to regale the pOpulace and
all within hearing distance, as well as
those who had failed to connect, were
cordially invited to change the scene Of
attack. Three cheers were given for Mr..
and Mrs. Ferguson and the crowd drifted
to the hall, where several hours were
spent in pleasure.

RIOT ON AN
ELECTRIC CAR
An UnprOvOked Attack Upon InOf-
fenSive Men by ROughS.
PASSENGERS in A PINCH
II Was a Battle OF Three Against Seven
and the Former Were the VictOrS.
Arrests to Follow.
PASSENGERS in A PINCH

There was a riot on one of the Lakeside
Electric Railway cars yesterday afternoon
which resulted in considerable damage to
the car and a severe beating to three Of
the passengers. The affair arose out Of
pure deviltry on the part of some men
who imposed upon inoifensive foreigners,
There were about forty passengers on
the car at the time and several who took
no hand in the disturbance had narrow
escapes from injury.
When the car reached the corner of Cen
ire and Bridge streets seven Poles with or
chestral instruments boarded it. Among
those who had previously entered
the car were three young fellows
who were more or less under
the influence of drink and were inclined
to have some sport at the expense of the
other passengers. They turned their at
teution to the new arrivals and essayed
salutation in the Polish language. No
attention being paid to the remarks by
those to whom they were directed seemed
| to provoke the teasing trio and they gradu.
| ally became more offensive, their conduct
| eventually leading to an exchange OF
| blows, which was started by one OF the
| uhree young fellows striking one of the
musicians on the head with his fist. An
| other of the musicians Inv erfered and re-
| Ceived blow for his pains, whereupou
| the fight became general.
The women passengers shrieked with
fright and sought refuge at the opposite
eud of the car. The motorman and con
| ductor tried to quell the disturbance, but
| were powerless. One of the trio, a tall
| brawny, Irish lad, was knocking tn,
seven musicians here and there as if they
were so many tenpins.
Finally the combatants were induced K
leave the car and the fight was continued
outside One of the Poles was so eurage(
that he picked up large stone with tn,
Intention of hurliug it into the car, bu
was prevented from doing so, which wa
fortunate, for bad the missile been throw
some one would have been very badly in
iured if not killed.
| No arrests were made but the railwa
officials are so indignant over the occui
renee that they will have warrants issue
and use all means to have the offender
punished. 1t is said that the fellow VIII
did the most knocking about is a younj
man of Mahanoy Plaue who bears tn
reputation of a prize fighter.

None too Soon.

If Shenandoah is to have a professional
or professional team on the base ball
diamond in S95 it is none too sOou for
steps in that direction to be made now
All other towns are at work aud if this
one does not move it viii 6nd itself next
spring as last-anyious for club, but un-
able o get good players, Carboudale al
ready has its whole team signed and it is
said POttsville has been equally wide
awake. Next year idle, good players will
be more scarce than the home managr
ment found them this year. The senti-
ment for Inter State league is growing
and 1t is almost safe to say that before the
winter breaks it will be formed and all
the players signed Such a league will
absorb more players than the State league
did and If the Shenandoah people rest
upon their oars until the spring they will
have no material at that time from which
to make a selection 1t has been suggested
that Shenandoah stock company be
formed at once and preparations be made
to accept an opening in either a State or
Interstate league. A lease for the home
grou nds is still alive and no doubt arrange
meuts can be made with the present man
agement for the suits and other outfits
which We're but recently purchased aud
are as good as new. Base ball could be
made a bonanza here next summer with
club of good players and direct electric
railway communication all season from
the base ball grounds east and west, TO
Mahanoy City aud Ashland.

him so badly that 1t was necessary to take
him home in a wagon. 1t is believed the
