TRIPLE TRAGEDY.
Edward Waid While Drunk Fatally
Hurts His wife and Son.


! CLEVELAND, o.. Sept. eS.-Just before
dark Sunday night Edward Wald, .
ship carpenter residing at 50 Mulberry
street, narrowly escaped lynching at
the hands of an infuriated mob of west
side citizens Wald came home under
the influence of liquor, quarreled with
his wife and finally struck her.
The 14-year-old son, Edward,
seized his fathers arm n and
entreated him to quiet down, where
upon the brute became enraged and
threw the boy down the stairway lead
ing to the street, q distance Of 20 feet.
The little fellow screamed for help and
rolled out Of the open doorway into
the street, writhing In convulsions.
DR.. c. A. Turner was summoned to at
tend the boy, and a crowd quickly col
,lected to revenge the brutal outrage.
Father McHale was hastened to the
scene and administered the last rites
Of his church to the dying boy Mean
while the crowd increased to mob,
which was goaded into fury by the
sight of the helpless child struggling
on the pavement until the clamor
for revenge swelled to an ominous roar.
An impro'A 1tu delegation OF 40 forced
their way into the heuse to drag out the
inhuman father, and others were dis
patched for rope. Wald had locked
himself in bedroom. The door was
broken open and the brute dragged in
to the street, fighting desperately.
The police arrived before the rope ap-
peared and thus intercepted lynch.
ing. The mob gave battle to the po.
lice, determined not to allow Wald to
escape them. During the scrimmage
the prisoner broke loose from those
who were holding him and ran down
an alley toward the river.
!. The mob was close at his heels and
when the fugitive reached the river
knowing that his chance for life was
far less than even If captured, plunged
into the cold, muddy waters of the
Cuyahoga and was drowned. His body
has not been recovered. The boy will
die and the wife's injuries may also
prove fatal,

NEW SCRANTON PLAYERS
Pitchers Esper and Corbett and Catcher
Bowerman, Of the Baltim0res,
Have Been Secured.

Manager Griffin has secured for
Scranton Pitchers Esper and Corbett
and Catcher Bowerman of the Balti-
mores. One of the two pitchers. prob
ably Esper, Is expected to reach here
early today and the other will report
before the club starts on the trip tomor-
row noon. Bowerman recently hurt his
hand in practice and may not report
until the club returns home.
Baltimore won 10 and lost 12 games
with Esper in the box last year. He
pitched the only game won by Balti-
more in the Temple Cup series with
Cleveland, holding the Reds down to
five singles and not having a pitching
error recorded against him. That was
one of the most remarkable pitching
feats of the season. He ranked four
teenth among the forty-five pitchers in
the league who pitched fifteen or more
games. Once this year he held Cleve-
land down to four hits.
Corbett, who is brother of Corbett,
the pugilist, is one of the seven pitch
ers who have been carried by Baltimore
since the season opened. He pitched
two or three National games and
showed himself strong enough for Ma
tional company. At no time has the
Baltimore management thought of
loaning him until now, when it is GER
tain that the old and tried pitchers on
the Oriole staff are in shape to finish
the season.
Catcher Bowerman Is said to be a
catcher of the first water. Baltimore
would have used him to relieve Robin
sJn occasionally hut for Bowerman' s
lack of know Wedge Of the big Leagues S
hitters.
In addition to the three National
players, the Barons will probably be
strengthened by Monday by the pres
ence on the team of minor league
player who Is considered one of the best
men in the business in his particular
position, but who has been prevented
by peculiar circumstance from being
obtained by several clubs who wanted
him badly.
This afternoons game with Syracuse
will probably attract a large attend
ance. The Barons and the Stars have
each a game to their credit in the pres
ent series and today's game will be the
decisive game. If Brown returns from
Baltimore or If Esper reports in time
for the game the probability is that the
Stars will lose. as they are easy victims
for south wing. Harper is the only
pitcher available if neither of the othei
two report. He has pitched twice this
week, which may reduce his chances OF
winning, but he is player who takes
the best Of care of himself and If he II

board on false pretenses, and as he

Hildebrandt's Latest.

J. H. Rildebrandt, of johannesburg,
South Africa. is disposed to ignore Fitz-
simmons claim to championship dis
t:nction on the ground that Corbett,
having beaten Sullivan. who won his
title in the orthodox London prize ring
style. is in reality the only recognized
champion of America. Mr.. Hide
brandt is anxious to promote another
fight under the old rules governing
championship battles, and offers to back
an unknown against Corbett for $4,000
or $4,000 a side. Recently he called at
the Police Gazette office and deposited
$1,000 forfeit to make match with bare
knuckles for the championship of the
world, to take place in South Africa six
months from the time Of signing ar
ticles. The challenge will remain open
for thirty days, and If Corbett does not
accept, the unknown will be named and
the championship claimed for him.
