UNFORTUNATE MR.. BLOCH.
Has Had Some Exciting Experiences Since
lie Became One of the Finest.

The experience of Patrolman Bloch,
one of the most efficient men on the
Scranton police force, well illustrates
the difficulties an officer has to contend
with during his initiatory period. Pa
trolman Bloch has been beaten, bitten,
met with accidents and has had other
trials, but these incidents only served
to show the courage and reliance Of the
man. He is of medium build, feet, 10
inches high, and weighs 10 pounds. He
speaks five different languages and is
the only Hebrew ever appointed to the
police force in Scranton. Several men
who are considered among the city's
most prominent business men recon-
mended his appointment.
During Patrolman Bloch's first week
Of service, which began about five
months ago, he fell while alighting
from a car at the base ball park and
sustained serious cuts about his face
and head. His lip was badly lacerated
and had to be sewn. One night he
held two of party of three drunken
men, although the third was raining
blows about his face. He raped for
assistance and held his prisoners until
help arrived. Less than two weeks ago
he placed man under arrest and the
latter suddenly fastened his sharp fin
ger nails deep into Patrolman Bioch's
face and 1t was over ten minutes before
the infuriated mans grip could be loos-
ened. After reaching the station house
the officers face was frightfully swol-
len, and, although he was Immediately
treated by the police surgeon blod
poisoning had begun and the wound
will leave scar for life. 1t has been
his good or bad fortune to have his
prowess tested on other occasions, but
IN each case he has proven himself an
honor TO the force and the uniform he
wears.
After so many thrilling experiences
In so brief a period, he has profitted to
the extent that hereafter a prisoner
will have to strike backwards to hit
him.

GET DOWN TO WORK.
From the Plttshnrr Times.


Less than one week remains for the Re-
publicans of Pennsylvania to put forth
their best efforts to increase the major
ity for General Daniel II. Hastings for
governor and for the rest of their state
ticket and every Iday of that period
should witness most effective work 10
that end Not that there is any danger of
defeat OF the ticket, nor any part of ii.
nor of any increase In the Democratic
vote by reason of the very belated cam
paigning of Mr.. Singerly and his party OF
free trade shouters; but there is some
ground to fear that the very certainty of
great and overwhelming Republican
success may induce a carelessness about
voting on the part Of many which NAV
result in a reduction of the majority be-
low what 1t can easily, with proper Wig
lance, be made. The vitality important
thing is to make the rebuke to the free
trade policy advocated by the Democratic
candidate for governor, and the effort to
establish which has already brought such
great and unparalleled distress upon this
nation, so emphatic and pronounced that
there will be a final halt called on tariff
tinkering prejudicial to Pennsylvania and
American interests and beneficial only to
those of other nations. The Republicans
OF Pennsylvania have no excuse for not
achieving such result.

The report of the inspectors of coal
mines of the state for 1893 has Just been
published by the state department. The
report shows that the aggregate pro-
duction of anthracite coal for the state
in 1893 was 47,17956S, an increase of l.
444, ,1S9 over 1892. Luzerne is the leading
county and produced 1928, 144. Lacka-
wanna comes next, producing II, ,667, $50;
Schuylkill third, with 9,9920S5, and
Northumberland fourth, with 3,73l, ,404
tons. Carbon county produced 1910, ,2S9
The increased production of 1898 re-
quired the employment Of 1924 more
men, or an increase from l29, 797 to 1885,
O2l. The average production per man
in 1893 was 342 TONS ten tons less than
the year previous. In the entire an
thracite district for 1893 there were 455
fatal accidents in the anthracite and
anthracite region in 1898 the percentage
of fatal accidents was one to every 1903
employees and non-fatal one to every 129
employees In 1892 the former was one
to every 327 employees and the latter one
to every 127. In 1893 there We're ,691
tons Of coal mined for every fatal ac-
cident, and in 1892 there were 115,5O1
tons for each fatal accident.
The movement of freight cars over
the Eastern system of the Pennsylva-
mia railroad last month reached a total
of 127, ,SS5 cars, an increase over the pre-
ceding month of 1901 cars, and an in
crease over October, 1898, of 18TH
August was the heaviest month of the
year, and the second largest in the
history of the company, having aggre-
gated 129, 155 oars, and this was only
1,27O cars more than were handled last
month. 1t should be remembered in
this connection that the August move
ment was abnormal, resulting from
shipments of freight that had accumu-
lated in the west during the strike The
movement last month"; however, was
normal, and fully reflects the general
improvement that is in progress in all
classes of business.
MINOR INDUSTRIAL NOTES:
The Cross Creek Coal company has
put to work large force of men to strip
large piece of ground at No Drift
ton.
Men at No. slope in Silver Brook are
tearing up the rails in the gangways
and hoisting them to the surface. This
is sure sign of the slopes abandon
ment. When the rails are taken out
the pumps will be removed and the
slope allowed to fill up for at least 100
feet
The Evans Mining company, of
Beaver Meadow, which has for the past
few months been driving slope with the
expectation of striking a vein Of coal,
were rewarded by finding a vein Of coal
fifteen feet thick. The slope is now
down depth of 200 feet. Work will be
begun at once driving gangways to de-
velop the vein.

Six Lives Known to Have Besn Lost

st. Paul, Mimi, June 27.-Meager re-
ports from Southwestern Minnesota indi-
cate that terrific cyclone passed through
that section this evening.
At Sleepy Eye four people were killed,
and at Window two.
Great damage was also done at Rem
vile, Collegeville and Aberdeen, S. d.
ST. Johns University at Collegeville was

and shoe shop.
Over five inches of water fell in an
hour at Aberdeen.
Great damage was done from the wash
ing out of crops.
The cyclone struck Reuville at few
minutes before o'clock, wrecking every
thing in its path. Timbers of a house

building and the residences of Frank
Berning and Charles Hackman were des-
troyed. Hundreds of cattle and horses

A WAR SHIP MAaNErIzEp.
Two Men in the Dry Dock Under the
Vessel Killed.

Washington, June 27.-Reports have
reached the navy department OF remark
able phenomenon which occurred at the
Norfolk navy yard week ago to-day in
which two men were instantly killed and
number of others knocked senseless by
an electric discharge, Considerable mys-
terry still exists about the occurrence, and
IL mas not been possible yet to obtain full
particulars. lt appears from the account
received that the steel cruiser Raleigh
was IN the wooden dry dock last Wednes-
day and number of men were working
on her hull when a thunderstorm swept
over the naval station. The workmen
sought shelter beneath the vessel, which
rested on blocks in the center of the dock.
Suddenly, without warning, two Of the
men fell dead and most of the
others were knocked senseless by
an electrical discharge. The officers of
the vessel, who were sitting about on the
deck did not feel the shock, but all the
compasses and similar instruments were
affected and the vessel was apparently
magnetized iE such manner as TO render
the electric appartus and compass useless
without considerable repairs and adjust
ment. The only explanation that is
offered by naval officers for the escape
OF the officers of the vessel from the shock
was that the Raleigh was insulated by
being on blocks, which were dry, while
the men who were killed or injured
were in shallow water on the bottom Of
the dock

THE JACKSON TRAGEDY.
F. L. Scharf and Three Blacks Held to

son on May ID was given a preliminary
hearing and was bound over to the supe-

He and the three negroes, John Owens,
Henry Butler and Henry Archer were

Henry Archer stated to-day that Scharf,
George jenkins, and John Owens entered
the store from below and passed up the
staircase on the inside to Mr. Jackson's
room and did the killing, while he and
Henry Butler stood guard until they re-
turned. He says they did not divide their
gains with him. No other evidence could
be gained, and the other three were com
mitted to the superior court on Henry

AN AMAZON OF THE OCEAN.
Capt. Philip Ecstatio Over the Cruiser
New York.

Washington, June 27.-Capt. Philip of
the cruiser New York visited the navy
department to-day and called on all the
prominent officials, spreading everywhere
the most glowing accounts of the "finest
ship in the navy" He was enthusiastic
about every feature Of the mag
nihcent vessel, declaring that her
turrets now worked with per-
feet precision, and announced his
readiness TO go TO sea on days notice
and whip anything afoat. No such yes
sci had ever before been seen in any of
the ports he had visited since he left New
York for Rio. There was no ship In Rio
during the rebellion that he could not
have sunk in an hour. He thinks the New
York ought to be sent around the world
to show everywhere what kind of naval
force the United States is providing, and
this idea struck many officials favorably.
He says that little overhauling will be
beneficial, but he does not believe In stay
ing in navy yards longer than can be
helped. He will take the New York
to Boston next week, using her to mark
the finish IN the great race the Minneap-
oils is to make against time off Cape Cod
on July TO- and then he will take the New
York naval militia detachment aboard on
July 26 and give them actual sea service
for week, including great gun practice
at Gardeners Bar, l.. l. A couple of
weeks at the Brooklyn navy yard early In
August, including scraping the bottom
and repainting will, in Capt. Philips
opinion, fit the New York for run to
Cape Town or Cairo or Shanghai, or all
three, including intermediate points.
