He JUMPED 70 HIS DEATH
The Awful Fate of a Young Man at
Raven Run.
HIS BODY WAS CUT IN TWAIN
An Outcome Of the Dangerous Practice Of
Illegal Car Riding-The Coal and Iron
Police Are waging an Active
Campaign Against 1t.

The members Of the Coal & Iron police
force yesterday inauguated an active cam
paign against illegal train riders in pur-
suance of orders issued by the general super
intendent of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company and made several arrests. As one
result of the raids there was a fatality which
should serve as a dreadful warning to others
who may be violating the law. The victim
was Owen McDonough, aged 90 years and re-
siding at Centralia.
At about 2:3O yesterday afternoon c. & 1.
Policeman George Geiger was at the Raven
Run depot awaiting the arrival of the east
bound passenger train and incidentally keep
ing watch for illegal riders on passing coal
and freight trains. Engine No 1869 approached
from the east, bound for Centralia to get a
train of loaded coal cars. The engine was
running tank foremost As it rounded
the curve near the depot Geiger observed
that there were three or four young men
riding on the pilot of the engine. The ofli-
Ger sgnaled the engineer to slacken speed,
which was done The young men on the
pilot jumped OFF and ran up the dirt bank on
the opposite side OF the track At the same
time McDonough, who was riding on the
tank of the engine, but in such a position
that he could not be seen, jumped up and
made spring to the track ahead of the en-
gine. He was knocked down as he alighted
and fell in such a position on the rail that
the wheels of the engine cut his body in
twain at the abdomen. Death was instan-
taneous. The engine was stopped and the
remains, after being placed on door taken
from the depot, were sent to the parents of
the deceased at Centralia.
Just before this accident happened Police
man Peter Kreiger arrested ON a coal train
at Raven Run a young man named Peter
Lavelle, also of Centralia. After a hearing
before Justice Williams, of town, Lavolle
was directed to pay SO fine and costs. He
was released upon giving security for pay
ment.
Last night Policemen Geiger and Kreiger
arrested at Park Place Thomas w. Bird
| Harrisburg; John w. Paul, Ashland, and
George Schuey, of town. for illegal car rid
! ing, They were brought to town and given
hearing before Justice Lawlor. Each said
he was unable 10 pay the fine and costs, and
in default of payment was committed for ten
| days. They We're taken to the Pottsyille

TELEPHONE CASE FINISHED
Arguments Concluded Yesterday
Before the Supreme Court.
Decision VIII Probably Be Handed
Down Before the Present
Term Ends.


Mr. Ferdinand P Fish, counsel for the
Bell Telephone Company, finished bis
argument in the Supreme Court OF the
United states yesterday, in opposition u
the demand of the government that the
patent for the Berliner transmitter for
telephones, issued in 1891, be cancelled
for fraud in the Illegal delay in its issue
from the Patent Office, and for invalidity
in that the same invention was covered by
a patent issued to the same inventor, In
1880. He claimed that the two inven-
tiuns Were different, one being for trans
mitter and the other for a receiver.
|, He was followed by Mr.. Joseph H.
Cboate of New York, also for the Telc-
phone Company. Mr.. Cboate in the course
of his argument said it was the first time
and probably would be the last, that the
court had been asked to annul grant, not
for any fault OF the grantee, but because
of alleged wrongful and Illegal acts OF the
grantor byits agents.
BE asserted, as had Mr.. Fish, that the
company had not failed by any act done
or left uphcne, to expedite the issue of
the patenu sEyery charge Of fraud con-
tanned in tijeJpifl had either been abandoned
or disprovedI EThese charges, he said, were
cruel, baseleSs. made in gross ignorance,
and inspired 10y q malicious antagonist OF
the Bell Company.
assistant attorney general, concluded the
argument in support of the governm ,nt's
bill. He cuntended that there was some
thing To be considered beyond the mere
technical right of the company to patent,
and the duty uf the commissioner TO issue
1.-THE commissioners duty was to issue
only such patents as. did not conflict
with the rights Of the public.
And in this connection. as charged in the
bill, and sustained by Judge Carpenter
there rested on the company an eXtraor-
dinary duty, to speed the application
by every means known TO the law, andif 1t
failed to do SO, that failure invalidated
the patent.
With the conclusion of Mr.. Brownies
argument the case Went To the court for
consideration. A decision is expected
some time in the course Of the present
term of court. Justices Gray and Browne
did not hear the argument.
