Saturdays Mt. Carmel News published the
following story Of an encounter between
David Graham, of the Mahanoy City Ameri-
can, and T. J. Joyce of the Mahanoy City
Black Diamond, in which the editor Of the
Mt. Carmel paper shows up Graham in very
uneviable light while the editor OF this
paper was seated at the door Of his residence
on South Main street, last evening, in pleas
ant conversation with neighbor, he was
approached by David Graham, of the Ameri-
can, who, after abusing the neghbOr in a
shameful manner turned his batteries of
abuse and slander upon us. Up to this time,
pity for the man, who was under the in
fluence of liquor and scarcely responsible for
his utterances, was the uppermost feeling
but it reached point at last when only the
interference of friends prevented an en-
counter. The most charitable construction
that can be placed upon the whole affair is
that David sober Will disclaim responsibility
for the actions of David drunk A few
minutes afterward r. j. Joyce, who had seen
Graham come up the street. divining his pur-
pose, followed, an exchange of words oc-
Cured between him and Graham, fight oc-
Cured, and Graham was badly beaten"

ing fire was discovered in the house at the
corner of Oak street and Market alley owned
by druggist P. P. d. Kirlin and occupied by
Wolf Levine's family. The fire department
was called out, but Its services were not
required, as the flames were extinguished
with water by neighbors who hurried to the
place The damage to the building amounted
to about S75. The fire was started by a
plumbers furnace, but there are different
theories as to the manner The occupants of
the house say the furnace must have been
left lighted behind the door of the bathroom.

The latter claim the furnace was not in use
on Saturday and they took home the one
that was used. Mrs Levine was prostrated

BY
A BRIDGE !
A Freight Train Conductors Narrow
Escape From Death.
FELL UNCONSCIOUS UPON A CAR
He Had Failed to See the Bridge, OF Hear
the Warning Cries of one of His
Brakemen-His Scalp was
Badly Torn.

Samuel Derr, conductor of the Shenandoah
freight train No S 25l Of tho Pennsylvania
Railroad, narrowly escaped being killed
while on his train enroUte to town at $50
o'clock this morning.
Derr was standing on top of a box car and
failed TO observe that the train was
to pass under a bridge at the Boston
Run colliery The train was descend
ing the grade at high speed and the
bridge struck the man with great force. Derr
fell sDrawling upon his back on the TOP of
the car George Kleavenstein, brakeman
was on top of the third car 10 the rear of the
one Derr was on when the train approached
the bridge. He saw that the conductor was
not aware of the approaching danger and
tried to warn him, but without effect. The
rumbling Of the cars drowned the brakeman S
cries and the conductor did not see his ges-
lures. The brakeman's arrival prevented
Derr from rolling from the train, which
would probably have had fatal effect
Derr remained in an unconscious condition
and was brought to town on the train. DR..
d. J. Laugton was summoned and after
hurried examination said he did not think
the victim was fatally injured. He found
that the scalp had been cut across the head
almost from ear to car and there was a large
lump on the back Of the head, but no fracture
of the skull.
During the examination Derr recovered
consciousness to some extent His head was
temporarily dressed and he was taken On the
010 train to POttsvillo Upon arrival there
Derr had very much recovered and it was
decided to take him to his home instead Of
the hospital
Derr resides at Pottsville. He is a married
man and about 45 years Of age. Railroaders
say he had a remarkable escape from death.
