There is rejoicing in Bangor: Sharrot
has traced a sample of his fine italian
hand upon contract. The veteran field

that no one in Bangor knew anything
about base bail, but has apparently re-

with him to show what he knows about
it.

he would rather play in the New England
league than go to Kansas City.
The Commercial says that if Bangor
can't get "Tot" Murphy. they are going
to get someone just as good. That's
pleasant. Murphy, however, hasn't
signed with any team yet, and is in no
hurry to do so.

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Family of w. H. Milliken Has An Exciting
Experience.

The family of Mr.. W. II. Milliken of
State street, had narrow and wonderful
escape from very serious injury yesterday
afternoon.
Mrs. Milliken, with her youngest child
and nurse were out driving in the coupe.
drawn by spirited pair and driven by
Michae Ballard, the family coachman.
They were just passing under the railroad
bridge at st. John street. when a train
rushed into the bridge overhead, frighten-
ing the horses badly. They leaped fran
tically, and one of the horses getting his
head under the pole crowded the other
over toward the steep embankment at
the side of the road. In spite of the
efforts of the driver they drew nearer and
nearer the steep incline, till horses, car
riage and occupants went over together.
The carriage turned a complete somer-
sault and the roof was broken entirely
off. To that fact the wonderful escape
of the occupants is due, for as the roof
fell off the people inside were spilled ont
on the ground. With splendid pluck the
driver held on to the reins, and after re-
gaining his feet jumped for the horses
heads and regal ned control of them. All
of the occupants of the coupe escaped
with slight bruises, one of the luckiest

WORDS OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE.

From the Scranton Truth.
The sentiment of this entire community
is felictously expressed toward Mr.. Will
liam Connell in the admirable letter Of
Justice Hand which we copy elsewhere
from this mornings Tribune. Mr. COnnell
needs no defense from any source, but
when his enemies are stirring up the en-
bers of falsehood with helIs pitchforks
and trying TO fill the air with the pestilent
vapors of their lies, his friends too. have
n right.to speak and tell how warmly. he
is regarded by thousands of his fellow
citizens.
Even when no defense of a man or n
cause is necessary. it is permissible and
even desirable to meet the envenomed at
tacks of petty slander with the words of
truth. The world too often fails to ap-
preciate its best men until after their
death. We have had examples of it right
here In Scranton, in the case Of some pub
lie spirited men whose unselfish efforts for
the community were not appreciated till
after they died, and when We heard the
postmortem laudations which assailed their
unheeding ears We have felt how much
better 1t would have been had some Of
that appreciation found expression before
Death came to destroy its SAVIOR. In this

The viaduct does not detract from, II
will supplement the bridges. We take
back nothing ever said in this paper in
favor of the bridges. They were neces-
sary. They will, in due season, abun-
dainty repay their cost. 1t is not re-
quired of us or of you to weigh them
againstithe viaduct or to take them into
the present account at all. The fact
which needs to be kept in view is that
under present conditions the travel and
traffic of $4,000 taxpaying citizens of
Scranton are impeded and their lives
and our lives endangered by the lack
of an overhead crossing at the network
of Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern railway tracks at the western end
of the city's main-traveled thorough
fare-a condition as intolerable. unpro-
gressive and dangerous as any one can
imagine.
Had the viaduct project earlier
reached it's present practical and def
mite basis, it would never have met
with postponement. The fairminded
citizenship of this liberal city can see
for itself that a viaduct is necessary.
SO long as the plans for one left the
question of damages open. there was
reluctance in yielding assent; now
however, that the whole subject has
reached an exact understanding. the
measures success is easily assured II
every believer in municipal progress,
on the West Side and in the remainder
of the city, will go to the polls on

In the Interest of HARMONY.

Senator Quay personally disclaims
having had any part in the latest
launching Of his candidacy for the
presidency. Nevertheless the move
ment begun by State Treasurer-elect
Haywood will not be barren of good
results. 1t has already sufiiced to in
dicate the willingness Of the vast ma
jority OF those lately in arms against
Colonel Quay to accept with manly
grace the fortunes of war and to ac-
cord to his superior leadership the ac-
quiescence which 1t merits. This, in
itself. is a harbinger Of restored party
harmony and a notification to the COM
mon enemy that 1t had better beware.
