"scaIdy" Bill Won Again.

At the Art Athletic Club, Philadelphia,
on Saturday night, Charley johnson and
"Scaldy" Bill Quinn, the two pugiists
who fought a twenty-five round bout
here on January 20 last, met again.
"Scaldy" started in to annihilate john
son from the tap of the bell, and landed
a score of vicious lefts on the wind and
rights on the face and jaw, twice send
ing johnson to the floor. The latter
was handicapped in reach and weight
and failed to make much OF a showing
in the opening round. He did better in
second, and in the third landed several
hard punches as well as avoiding many
of the colored boxers heavy swings.
Although "Scaldy" had the advan-
tage in every respect and appeared
capable of bestng johnson, he did not
evince the same desire to force the
milling as his white antagonist and
refused to emulate his example Of
making it a stand up give and take
affair.
In the fourth Johnson went right at
"Bill," and got home several hard
right handlers on the jaw, but these
didn't seem to phase the colored man,
who paid his white brother with inter
est. "Scaldy" easily had the better of
the ''go" and was given the decision.

The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
is having six engines built at Philadel

Experiments will be made shortly look
ing to change in the manner of running

The present system is likely to be aban-
doned since the ID. S. IS S. has virtually
become part of the Lehigh Valley

ID. S. & S. crews are complaining
because of the big trains they are com
PEELED to haul. They say fifty-ive cars
are too many to handle on the Weather

Miners Mills Disastrous Fire.

Miners Mills was swept by fire on
Thursday afternoon and the postoffice,
two stores, the largest saloon and two
other buildings were destroyed. The
loss is about $4,000, half of which is
covered by insurance. The fire started
in the store of Thomas Quigley, and by
the time chat help arrived from Parsons
had almost destroyed Quigley's store,
his saloon and postol1ice, which were all
in the same building. The residence of
John Rawland, on the lower side and
the double block of John Mayock, on
the upper side, had also caught The
latter was occupied by the families of
Patrick Riley and Thomas Minch.
The streams were first turned on the
Quigley and Rawland buildings, and in
Il short time the fire in the latter was
extingnished, the building being only
partially destroyed. The flames made
great progress on the other side of Quig-
ley's, and it was not long before Mayock's
double block was entirely consumed.
The flames also caught a double block
owned by Polish families. Another
double block owned by Michael Mayock,
and occupied by Pole and Hebrew,
was slightly damaged.

ROCKAFELLOW ESCAPES.
COURT UPHOLDS THE PLEA THAT
FURTHER SUITS ARE BARRED.

Judge Edwards Has Decided the Wilkes.
rate Charges-Depositors Are Angry
and Will Take the Case Higher.
The court room at Wilkesbarre was
crowded on Friday morning to hear the
decision in the Rockafellow case on the
contention of the defense that having
been tried and convicted of one of the
many charges of embezzlement against
| him the eX-banker could not be tried on
the other cases. Judge Edwards read
his finding in the case. The opinion
was brief and as follows: II am of
the opinion that the plea of the defen-
dent should be sustained. The demur-
rer in this case is overruled and iudg-
ment entered for defendent, that he 90
without day. Exception is noted for
the commonwealth.
The word day as appears above means
that the defendant go without any day
set for trial. Judge Edwards said he
would file more extended opinion in a
few days, when the prosecution would
have an opportunity to carry their case
to the superior court.
When the decision was given Mrs.
Anna Meier, the prosecutrix, walked
into the bar inclosure and walking back
and forth in front of the Judge, express
sed her opinion of the court, not in loud
tones of voice, but distinctly enough for
the bystanders to hear She is one of
the plaintiffs in the case. She said she
did not think justice had been done and
would take her case to higher court.
Her case is a sad one. She was not a
regular depositor, but had S700 with
which to pay mortgage and called at
Rockafellow's bank after banking hours
with her attorney the evening before
tho bank closed. She left the money at
the bank for safety until morning, but
the bank never opened its doors again.
Rockafellow was not in the court room
and was notified of the judges decision
by Attorney Wheaton in the atters
Office. The aged banker did not express
any qualification or feeling and has APP
parently suffered so much as to be de-
void of any emotion. He listened to his
attorney and at the latter's suggestion
went home to notify his family.
Some of the depositors, especially
those having suits pending, severely
criticise the law and believe that justice
had not been meted out to the man
whom they charge with stealing their
savings.
The names of the other prosecutors
and amounts claimed, are: Annie Kno-
kosky, 81, 600; Hugh Melley, $3.50; W. j.
Marvel, 81, $50; w. NJ. Alexander, $3.50;

Washington Dispatch in Phila. Inquirer.
Representative Leisenring, of Pennsyl-
vania, who is member of the com
mlttee on mines and mining, and rail-
ways and canals, is here on official buSi-
ness with the treasury and pension de-
partments. He speaks in the most'glow-
ing terms of the proud old Keystone
state, which rolled up majority of
nearly 300, 900 for Mckinley and Hobart.
While New Jersey and some of the
Eastern and Western states did nobly,
the old Keystone, he says, carried off
the prize. He does not believe that the
Bryan outfit, with all their odious forces,
will be able to hold together for twelve
months. He thinks the free silver craze,
like the greenback fallacy, will never
again be an important factor in politics.

Two More Engines Wrecked.

Thursday afternoon as a coal train on
the Lehigh Valley Railroad was pass
ing short distance east of Mud Run
station it parted and flagman was
sent back to stop any train that might
be coming up the road. An engine was
tagged and also came to a standstill.
Another engine that was coming up the
track in the same direction at lively
rate did not discover that the road was
obstructed and dashed into the engine
that was standing on the track. They
camo together with such force that both
went forty feet down the steep embank-
ment into the river and both tracks
were blocked. No one was injured, the
employees jumping before the collision
occurred. The engines are badly wreck
ed and had to be taken apart before
they were moved from their position.
