Jesse, 15-year-old son of John Williams of
East Mahanoy Avenue, had very narrow
escape from death at the Primrose colliery
washery yesterday. Near his place of work
were a number of belts and intricate
machinery and a flight of steps leading over
a large fly wheel. Williams was ascending
these steps when he was called. He turned
to answer and stumbled, pitching forward
against the fast revolving fly wheel. His
head struck the wheel and he was thrown
backwards and down through a hole between
jig and a scraper line and he would have
been drawn under the horn wheel but for the
| timely act of a workman. The boy escaped
with some bruises and scratches.

II You Have a sick Child This is Surely a
Message of Hope.

This is the best of news for parents Of
weakly or sicllly children. 1t is d fact that
our people have heretofore not had the same
opportunity for having their children who
suffer from chronic or lingering complaints
treated and cured by eminent specialists in
children diseases as do the residents of the
great cities where such skilled physicians re-
side. In other words our people have been
dcharred from seeking a cure for their
children by the great physicians, owing to
the cost Of travel to the large city and the
high fees charged by such physicians.
Here, therefore, is a chance for the cure Of
the children of our community which should
not be lost. DR.. Gieene Of 30 West l4th St,
New York City, who is beyond doubt the
most successful specialist in curing diseases OF
children, offers to give free consultation by
mail in all cases Of children's complaints
Parents have the privilege Of consultation by
mail in all cases Of children's complaints
Parents lave the privilege Of consulting DIR
Greene by letter, describing their children
diseases and he will, after carefully consider

Escape on Bicycles.
FA1RMONT, Mimi, Oct. S.-Two masked
and bicycle mounted robbers swept into
tie little towp Vt Sherbourne. fourteen
niles from hsrs, yesterday, dashed into
the Bank OF Sherbourne. murdered the
cashier and securing 1000 from the cash
tray, mounted their wheels and escaped
before the eyes of the startled villagers
The affair was conducted with all the
bravado of the border drama and the kill
ing of two men, one of whom died in
stantly, was Rlrely wanton, as neither
made any resistance The dead are. ].
Oestern, travelling agent for the Waser
A. W God Harvester com pany, shot through
the heart Cashier Thorburn, of the Bank
of Sherbourne, shot in the head.
The crime is paralleled only by the raid
of Jesse James and the Younger boys
when they swooped down upon the little
town of Northfield, few miles north of
the scene of yesterdays crime, shot the
cashier of the Bank of Northheld down
and decamped with a large amount Of
money. In that instance the robbers de-
parted on horseback whereas yesterday
the criminals used bicycles in escaping
from the enraged citizens of Sherbourne.
About 80 two masked men walked
through the front entrance of the bank to
the cashiers box, and without word
whipped out their revolveEs and leveled
them at Cashier Thorburn. The latter
did not move, but the next minute the re-
port of two revolvers rang out and Cashier
Thorburn fell at his desk. At another
desk in the bank stood Oestern, n travel
| ing man. He was the only immediate bar
to the ends the robbers sought, and as
Thorburn fell to the floor they turned and
shot him dead.
| As rapidly as possible they leaped over
the railing and secured 81 900 in cash
They then ran for the back door of the
bank, where they had taken the precaution
to leave their bicycles, mounted them and
rode away. 1t all happened inside of two
minutes and the only witness to the deed
was woman who stood across the street
| from the front entrance of the bank and
who was attracted by the report of the re-
volvers. She gave the alarm and in ten
minutes after the deed had been COM
mitted several posses We're in pursuit.
Thorburn lived two hours after the shoot
ing.

A PASSING WORD.
The Supreme Court, now in session at
Pittsburg has rendered several decisions of
much interest throughout the state, among
the number being that in which the finding
of the lower court in the case of the Borough
OF Shamokin VS.. the Shamokn Electric
Railway is reversed. The ordinance granting
the right of way stipulated that the railway
company shall pave the width Of their tracks
aud three feet on either side. When the
borough went to collect the bill against the
company, amounting to a little more than
81 100, the latter refused to pay and a suit for
the recovery of same resulted. When the
case was tried in the lower court at Sunbury,
the Judge expressed the opinion that the
borough had no case against the company,
due 10 an error in the ordinance, it was stated,
aud directed tie jury to render verdict in
favor of, trc defendants. The supreme
