The city papers have been devoting
considerable space recently to the IIol-
man friction gcarcd trucks for locomo-
tives. 1t will be remembered that the
inventor spent several days In this town,
over year ago, and placed considerable
stock with the residents. 1t may not
be generally known, but by the invcn-
tion the speed of the locomotive is ac-
celebrated by interchangeable trucks and
made up Of five smooth or friction gear
ed wheels placed under each driver.
Three of them rest on the track, while
the other two bear upon the former and
each driver in turn rests upon the two.
Thearrangement, the inventor thinks,
affords natural pockets for all wheels
above these on the track and makes it
an impossibility for any of them to be-
come displaced during any kind of run
ming. The track wheels are held in
position by sdcbars which hinge around
the center middle wheel. The hinging
renders the trucks flexible and provides
for the.engine Il sort of endless track of
moving wheels, which are always smooth.
1t is said that the vibrating not on
commonly impaired to the locomotion in
high running Is done away with by this
device. Each truck wheel has a large
and small diameter and works on the
cog principle, but friction takes the
place of cogs. Tho larger rim rests
upon the rail and the small rim extends
outwardly over the tires.
Mr.. Holman expects, by the way, to
develop speed of la0 miles an hour
and among those who hope he may do 50
are half Il dozen of freeland's business
men,

The TIGERS LOST.
Defeated by Mauch Chunk by Score o
to 3 on Saturday.

The Tigers went to Manch Chunk on
town, and were defeated in pretty but
hoistcrouS game Each side scored in
the first inning, the Tigers getting three
runs and Mauch Chunk two. From
then until the sixth inning both teams
played good ball. Mauch Chunk, how
ever, by timely hitting, scored three
more runs aud won the game. Owing
tI the ease with which the club of the
town was defeated by the Fcarnots Il
week previous, Manager Hanlon made
no effort to strengthen his nine, and the
Tigers left here with combination con-
sidcraby weaker than they usually
place upon diamond.
The local battery did fair work, but
not equal to what it should be. Mayer,
of Hazleton, was the pitcher, and has
not played since early in the season.
Gaflney caught him, filing position
which he has not played in for over
three years. Mayer was hit hard at the
proper time and to this, partly, is do the
loss of the game.
The Freeland people were highly
amused ut the quality of umpiring in
vogue at Mauch Chunk. MIR. Horn,
who oilciated, was exceedingly partial
to the club of his town, and thought
nothing of reversing his decisions or re-
visng the rules of the game when
point could be scored in favor of the
Chunkers. He was braycly supported
in his rulings by the unruly mob of spec
tators, and showed himself open to in
timdaton all through the game. Upon
several occasions the visitors suffered
by the unjust decisions, but recognizing
that the fame of Mauch Chunk depend
ed upon the result of the game the
Tigers let them have their own way.
Mauch Chunk had strong club on
the field, one that was able, probably,
to defeat the Tigers, as constituted last
Saturday, without the assistance of the
spectators or the umpire, and the vic
tory would have been more credtable
had it been won that way. As it is, the
local management feels that with the
regular club pittcd against Mauch Chunk
the result would be decidedly different.
Following is the score:

eastern points, to the North Side, as train
No. % with the chair car attached will
have no connections at Lumber Yard.
The S.i5 p. m. train will not 20 through

A Very Large Picnic.

What was probably the largest picnic
ever held in the Lehigh region took
place at Halle park on Saturday. The
affair was under the auspices of St.
Gabrel's church, of Hazeton, and was
attended by people from the North and
south Sides. The Liberty band and ST.
Patrick'S band were present, and it is
estimated that ut least 10000 persons
were on the grounds. The Lehigh
Traction Company, although taxed to
its utmost capacity, handled the largo
crowd without an accident.

LOST HIS RIGHT LEG.
Hungarian Fell Asleep on the ID. S. u S.
Tracks and Was Run Over.

John Pavololo, of Drifton, spent Fri
day evening in town and when he start
ed homeward had a superabundance of
beer on board. He got along tolerably
well until he reached No. breaker,
Dr,fton, whore he met the tracks of the
d. S. & S. Railroad He followed them
until he came to the signal switch near
the bridge which crosses the Lehigh
Valley road. There he became tired
and laid down to sleep. Some time dur
ing the night a train came into Drifton
and John was given sudden awaken
ing by feeling the locomotive ana cars
rushing over him.
His right leg was across the rail and
this was severed from the body. The
tranmen did not see the unfortunate
man nor feel any jar, and he laid there
writhing in pain until 4.30 o'clock Sat
urday morning when he was found by
the crew of the first outgoing train. He
was picked up and taken to Hazlcton
hospital, where he died yesterday.
An Amboy train came into Drifton at
O'Clock Saturday morning, and it is
supposed that this is the one which ran
over him.
