TIE LINCOLN CULT.

From the Timcs-Herald.
There is in America but one cult, and
that Is the Lincoln cult. Ten years ago
the small beginnings of a Napoleon
cult were observed in France. and as
times passed the influence of the study
passed the frontiers Of that country
and occupied the attention of the world.
We learned more of the great Corsican
than ever had been known before. The
Napoleon scholar was better Informed
as to the motives. the details of life
aims and the secret purposes of Ma
poleOn than his closest advisers I'm life
had been. This was easily explained
by the fact that Napoleon kept his
counsel. Those Immediately about him
were never trusted-and, perhaps. with.
good reason. One man here was in
trusted with a little-enough for the
accomplishment of the purpose for
which he was selected by the emperor.
Another became the recipient of differ
ent data. And so on till campaigns re-
suited in Victories; till diplomacy ended
In French success. But the total was

A STABBING AFFAIR.
Lynch Escaped Death by u Sixteenth Of an
Inch

Daniel Lynch, a former resident OF
this city, an employe OF j. II. Byrne,
had narrow escape from death Tues
day night, being stabbed by person
whom he was trying to arrest. young
man. 1t Is just by the merest chance
that Mr.. Lynch is now alive. as the
knife nearly entered the heart and the
great aorta. the artery leading from
the heart, but being missed by six
teenth of an inch.
The person who did the stabbing was
Billy Loughney I.oughney and his
brother, "Bunt." had climbed into the
wagon of Mr.. Byrne and had ridden
some distance. Soon after they got out,
a Jug of whiskey was missed by the
driver. Reuben Sears. who found that
It had been taken by the Loughneys.
In company with Mr. Lynch. Sears
went to the office of Justice Dryden
where warrants for their arrests Were
made out.
They did not have to search for the
loushneys. for both Were standing
near the office. Billy having an open
knife in his hand.
AS soon as Justice Dryden saw the
two men he deputzed two persons
standing near to arrest them. The
men were Lynch and a blacksmith
named Schein.
Both started for the men and Schein
seized "Bunt." BILLY" did not wait,
however. but went off at the top of his
speed. Mr.. Lynch in pursuit. Lynch
was gaining on Loughney. when he
suddenly turned and struck at him with
the open knife. trying to hit his heart.
Mr.. Lynch had seen the sudden move
ment and had just time to put out his
arm when he was struck. This saved
his life, however, as part of the force
of the blow was spent on the arm. AS
It was the knife entered his body
a little to the side of the heart, making
cash about four inches long and two
inches deep. the blade coming within a
sixteenth of an inch of the aorta.
Both young desperadoes seemed sorry
that the blow had not been more fatal
and the first expression of "Bunt," as
his brother was brought up. was one of
regret.
Both are evidently hardened villains,
as they take their arrest very coolly.
They have two brothers. both of whom
are in Jail for long terms. The young
man was taken tn the county Jail on Il
warrant received from Justice Glynn and
the cases will be pushed as far as possi-
BILE. so that the would-be highwayman
and murderer will be sure of serving a
long term before he is again free. The
charges brought against him We're lar
ceny and an attempt to kill.

MISuSED THE HORSE.
The Young Man Had u Good Time While
II Lasted

Tuesday 4 young man who gave MS
name as Thomas Kane hired horse
at Pierce Il Snyder's livery, ON North
Main street, to drive to Crystal Lake.
From the lake he went To Forest CITY
and drove home. arriving about !.
o'clock. Instead of taking the horse 20
the stable, Kane amused himself by
driving around town, putting the horse
to the top of his speed.
Some one saw the manner in which
he was using the animal and reported
him at the stable. Mr.. Snyder at once
started out to find the would-be jockey,
and when he reached the corner of
Salem avenue and Main street saw
Kane driving UP Dundaff street. He
at once started in pursuit but was uu-
able to catch him as he was on foot.
However, one of the employees at the
livery happened TO be coming down the
street At the time on horseback, and he
c; Snyder take his horse. Kane had
got quite a start. but his horse was
tired after its long journey and Snyder
steadily gained. At Barrett's store, on
Fallbrook street, he overlook the car
riage, but Kane did not wait to see
what would happen but jumped from
the buggy and fled. Mr.. Snyder brought
the horse and carriage to the stable
and then had n warrant sworn out
against Kane for misusing the horse.

RACES ARR; OFF.
The First Days Races Very Exciting and
Interesting.

The first days races at Anthracite
park were held Tuesday and proved tn
be very exciting and interesting. Two
events We're run on Tuesday. the go
class and the 2.Si class. Three heats
We're run in the first and four in the
second. Bird, belonging to DR.. T.. r.
Avery. of Tunkhannock. won the go
and Maud l.. owned by DR. Porteus,
took the 2.3i. There was considerable
disappointment because Levi Patter-
sons Bessie Best did not make a better
showing. She was in too fast company.
No races were run yesterday. as Ait
ken. on figuring UP the proceeds of the
day, found that there was considerable
loss. He ut once declared the rest of
the races off. The many horscmen
around the Aitken building were loud
in rhcir anger against him and vented
their feelings in pretty strong language.
Several of the prominent men made
an effort to raise money and have the
races on Friday and Saturday. 1t was
thought that Aitken would give the
park free. hut he demands $50 for its
use, which. with the already large ex-
penses incurred by the men, brings the
expenses too high. so that the effort
may not be successful.

was whether the damage would be To-

which the projectile passed, or whether

COMMON COUNCIL MEET.
The City Is Liable in the Eighth Avenue
Bridge Case

There was just quorum at the meet
ing of the common council. those pres
ent being Frederick Mills, w. q. Baker,
G. 4. Kase, Frank Colwell, p. G. Me-
DOnough, Harvey Smith and Milo
Gardner.
The street committee reported favor
ably on regard to the pavement re-
pairs on Church street, and the claim
OF Contractor Aitkenson for $3.50 was
ordered paid.
Considerable discussion in regard to
the fire alarm system was engaged in.
At the last meeting the city solicitor
was asked to give his opinion in regard
to the Eighth avenue bridge, and a
communication from Solicitor Stuart
was read.
The solicitor said the city was liable
for any accident which might occur, as
a city is obliged to keep the bridges in
a safe condition. The fact that the
Traction company's tracks cross the
river on the bridge makes no difference.
