INHALED ON A POLE.

Horrible Accident to an Athlete While
 Practicing yaulting.
 NEW YORK, July 29.--Joseph Petronah, 26 years old, while practicing vaulting with pole in Braun park, was impaled upon one end of the pole, which broke, and received injuries which may prove fa- tai. He is cigarmaker and resides at 226 East Seventy-third street.
 Petronah is q member of the Sokol Bo- heniian Athletic club, which meets at the bark at the foot of. East Sixty fifth street several times week for practice The as- sociation has over 500 members, and there is considerable rivalry between the mem bers. Quite a number of the members were present when Petronah tried to beat the club record.
 Petronah had made several attempts to clear the bar, but did not succeed. This put him on his mettle, and, grasping the long pole firmly in his hand, he gave 8 mighty bound and swung high in the air. The pole, which is said to have been a new one, broke in three pieces, and one piece was left sticking in the ground. Pe- tronah fell, and the bystanders were hor rified to see him fall on the jagged end of tho stick. The stick penetrated the right side, and slanting upward entered the base of the right lung.
 PetrOnah, although assistance quickly reached him, displayed wonderful pluck and courage. He refused all assistance, and with his own hand drew the piece of the pole from his body. Then he staggered to the clubhouse, some 25 feet away, where he fell down unconscious

 Money stolen From HTrs ROderfclk
 Atwood.
 Shortly before noon today Mrs Rod- erick Atwood of Woodbury hitched her team in Riverside street and went into a house. leaving her satchel in the wagon. When she returned the satchel was miss ing and no one could tell anything about it. It contained $5 in money. bunch of keys and some valuable papers. Mrs At wood felt worse for the loss of the keys than anything else. Her husband was Q peculiar man and had looks on the doors of the house and on desks and bureaus, which it would be impossible to open with the aid of any other keys than the ones which he had made for them, so that if she does not find them some of the best articles of furniture in the house will have to be broken open in order to get al the contents. When ,'the gang" learns these facts it is probable that the keys will be placed where Mrs Atwood will recover them,

His hind logs are not too straight, and he stands with them well under him like a stag that is ready for spring, giving him, with his well laid shoulders and finely turned quarters, conformation peculiarly suggestive of speed. He Is brown in color and about 15.2 hands high. AS yearling he was deemed to be of little account, showing so poorly when tried that Gideon & Daly would have been glad to give him away. As a matter of fact Trainer John Hyland wanted James Shields to take Hastings off his hands as q gift last winter, but Shields did not think he was worth wintering, and so lost the chance to get $37, GOO horse for nothing. Hyland says his present turn of speed is the result of strong work, the colt having had more stiff exercise than any other Swear old in training near New York.
