that Arguello, charged with the unpro-

plain facts must have suggested these
statements. Take for example, two of

FATAL RESULT OF A FALL.

Injuries Sustained by a Fall
Down a Stairway.
FATAL RESULT OF A FALL.

Mrs. Mary Ann Millward died yester-
day at the residence of her daughter, Mrs.
r. F. Roberts, on south White street,
from the effects of injuries sustained
week ago last Sunday by falling down
stairway.
At the time she sustained the Injuries
the deceased was descending the stairway
to the main hallway of her daughters
residence. When about half a dozen
steps from the bottom she fell, striking
the floor with such force as to dislocate
one of her hips. Medical and surgical
attendance was promptly summoned and
the deceased received the most tender care,
but her advanced age and the shock were
too great odds to overcome.
Mrs. Millward was born in Staffordshire,
England, and came to this country in
1870, locating in Ellengowan. She re-
mained a resident of that place until she
took up residence with daughter in
town few months ago. The deceased
was the widow of the late Charles Mill
ward and is survived by two sons and
two daughters, Henry and Charles Mill
ward, of Mahanoy City, Mrs. Silas Frost,
of Ellengowan, and Mrs r. F. Roberts,
of South White street. The funeral will
take place from the latter's residence on
Thursday, at 10 a. m.

THE FAIR.
The Enterprise OF All Saints P. E. Church
Opens Successfully.


The fair and series OF entertainments
under the auspices of All Saints Pro
testant Episcopal church opened very
successfully in Robbins opera house last
night, and the prospects for the church
to net a good sum before the close of the
season are very bright The hall is
elaborately decorated and several very
neat and artistic booths are scattered
about the floor for the sale of wares to
such patrons who may be in search
of novelties. The entertainments
arranged in connection with the fair are
of superior order and are alone worth
more than double the admission fee asked
for both. They are given under the di-
rection of William A. Davis. The pro
gram last night was as follows: Piano
duett, Misses Helen Schmidt and Florence
Harsley; piano solo, Miss Name Welsh;
violin solo, Miss Beatrice Haskins; music
by the orchestra song, Miss Mable Packer,
of Delano recitation, Miss Dottie Zerbey,
of Lost Creek violin solo, Miss Eva
Brewer "Old Folks at Home" by six
violnists, Miss Zerbey soloist; trio,
violin, cello and piano, Thomas A.
Tmmins and Mr., and Mrs. Bridg-
man music by the orchestra. In
connection with the above was introduced
the famous Mrs. Jarley's wax-works. 1t
was very interesting and amusing feat
ure. Mr.. Harry Boughey portrayed the
character of Mrs farley in very clever
manner. "A Precious Pickle" a very
amusing little comedy, solos by a cele
brated violinist from Mauch Chunk and
orchestral music, will be the program for
this evening. A colonial tea is also held
each evening.

When George Thompson, an applicant
for the transfer of the license of Michael
Cleary, of West Mahanoy township, was
put on the stand at the Pottsville court

he owned a nickel-in-the slot machine, a

and also If it was his intention to main
tain one in his saloon, If he secured
the license. Mr.. Thompson replied in the
negative to all these questions, aud then
Judge Pershing said that he gave warn
ing that he would not vote for license
for any applicant who kept a nickel.in-
the-slot machine, a pool table, or any
other gambling device.

TRAINS IN
COLLISION.
Fortunately No One Was Injured
by the MiShap.
IT WAS A REAR END AFFAIR
MahanOy Plane People Thrown Into a
State of Excitement-An Engine
and Several Cars Wrecked.

There was railway collision on the
Philadelphia & Reading Railroad at
Mahanoy Plane yesterday that resulted
in considerable loss to the company, and a
number of people who were upon the
scene had very narrow escapes from seri-
Gus injury or death.
The cause of the accident has not been
learned, but it apparently was due to care
lessness on the part of some member OF
the two crews of the trains that collided.
Engine No. $50 was standing near the
depot with a train of freight cars when
another freight train approached and
crushed into the rear end with great
force. The collision caused considerable
excitement for a length OF time, and
a report gained circulation that several
men of the crews had been thrown be-
meath the cars by the shocks. Fortunately
this report was wholly without founda-
tion, as no one was injured The engine
and a number of cars of the train that
was rammed were pretty badly damaged
and it took some time to get the track
clear.
