MAD DOG SCARE
AT PECKVILLE
WatChman William Whitehead at On .
tariO Breaker Bitten.
HIS HAND BADLY LAcERATED
With the Assistance Of Minor Craig,
the Watchman Succeeded in Getting
the Dog Into u Pump House, Where
1t Was Killed by Chief.Of.POiice
Richard James, Of PeckviIle.

\ mad dog created an abundance of
excitement in the vicinity of Peckville
last night. 1t was a large black mas
tiff Of tremendous strength and in
spired terror in all who saw it.
The dog was owned by some one on
the Ridge near Archibald and made its
appearance at the Sturges shaft near
Peckville about 80, rushing into the
engine room where pump runner A.
Williams, Engineer X. Il. James and
Fireman William James We're. They
seized pieces of iron as weapons to de
fend themselves from the brute which
was srringing at them in an enrased
way.
Finally the dog made a desperate
leap toward Williams and his teeth
fastened in the jacket worn by the
pump runner. a portion of it was torn
into shreds from his body but FORUM
ately the teeth did not reach the flesh.
BY means of the pieces of iron the men
succeeded in beating the animal away
from Williams and it then darted from
the engine house and started for the
Ridge.
1t was given a. clear path by those
who saw it coming but managed TO
implant it's teeth in three cows and as
many dogs that crossed its range of
vision while it was darting hither and
thither about the Ridge.
For some reason the mad animal
again left the Ridge and went to the
Ontario breaker near Peckville where
1t encountered the watchman. William
Whitehead. He gave ii battle and was
bit in the leg and hand. The fireman at
the breaker. Minor Craig, came to
WhiteheadS assistance ana the dok
was finally forced into IA pump house
and locked there.
Word was sent to Chief of Police
Richard James. Of PeckNille. who soon
afterwards arrived at the breaker and
killed the brute with several bullets
from his revolver.
Whitehead's hand is quite badly lac
Grated. The wound on his leg is not
SO serious

ARE NOT THROUGH YET.
Another Injunction Against the Mt.
Vernon COMPANY.

Another injunction was issued yester-
day against the Mount Vernon Elec-
trio Street Railway company to re-
strain it from laying a track on the
streets of Winton borough. Michael
Gallaher, a Winton property owner
Is the complainant. Some time ago the
members of the borough council OBJ
tanned an injunction which had the
same object in view as the one secured
yesterday by Mr.. Gallagher. The first
Injunction was dissolved by the court
Monday.
In the first action the claim was made
that the street railway company had no
right by any ordinance of the borough
to lay tracks. The company produced
the ordinance properly signed and at
tested, and the council held that the
ordinance was not recorded as required
by law. 1t was held that if the ordin-
ance is not recorded that Is the fault Of
the borough. and the borough cannot
profit by it's own error and the court
took this view of the case.
This time the plaintiff lisa tax payer
who seeks to restrain the company
from laying tracks on Gallagher street
and other streets in the borough. He
owns considerable property and says
that the construction of the road would
work him great injury.
In this case it is thought that as the
plaintiff is not responsible for the keep
ing of the borough books ne Is not bound
by neglect of council in failing to record
the ordinance. and therefore that he ha $
standing in court. The injunction is
returnable Saturday.

entombed men, had an interview with
MIR. Law in his office. Mr.. Derrig. act
ing as spokesman for the others. said
that they called to request Mr.. Law
to continue the work of eXcavating for
the bodies of the entombed men.
Mr.. Law answered and said he was
perfectly willing to do SO. providing the
men would sign a paper releasing the
company from all responsibility.
Mr.. Derrig then said that it was their
wish that the mines should not be ope-
rated while the entombed men remained
unbound.
Mr.. Law answered that the company
had done all in their power to rescue the
men when it was thought they We're
alive, and continued that work after it
was known that all hope was gone, but
that now the lives of those who were
alive should be considered. He also said
that hundreds of miners had come to
him begging for work, saying they
We're out of employment since the dis
aster, and he thought it his duty to
relieve the wants of those.
The women then left the Office dis
satisfied with the interview and APP
pointed committee to take such legal
action as may be necessary to compel
the company to continue the work of
rescuc.-Pittston Item.

MONTGOMERY WAS WARNED.
He Thought SO and His Death Soon
Followed.

Will, Robert Montgomery was work.
ing as II pump runner in his chamber
in the Wanamie colliery, No. IS, he says
he felt the presence of something super-
natural 1t was some minutes before he
could see anything. but then he man
aged to discern the dim outline Of Il
man, with II warning finger upraised.
He spoke to the person, but received
no answer.
He at once left the mine and told his
friends he had received warning of
death. nor could any argument con-
vince him that it was merely case of
hullucina ion. He could not be per-
suaded to return to the mine.
\ couple of days after he had seen
the apparition he refused to leave his
bed. and. although Il physician told him
he was not sick. Montgomery could not
be convinced. Although no sickness
manifested itself. he grew weaker and
died on Saturday. He was a soldier in
the war of the rebellion.-Nanticoke

WILL DISCUSS IT LATER.
Tax Committee Reports FavOrabIy on
the Rcyan Resolution.

The tax committee of select council
met last night to pass upon the Regain
resolution advising the board of revis-
ion and appeals to order a new city
assessment for 1897. but as the matter
is of such vast Importance il was
thought best to have it discussed in
council and so agreed to report it favor
ably with the information that the
committee had not discussed its merits.
1t will come up tonight and will
it is expected be the subject of Il warm
debate. Those in favor of it will base
their arguments on the crying need of
more revenue and the justice of a more
equitable assessment. Its opponents
will argue that it is not right to raise
the taxes in these hard times and that
the city can get along for two years
more with the present assessment.
