Crushed by Fail of Roof in Heidel.
berg COlIiery.

A very sad accident occurred early
yesterday morning at the Heidelburg
colliery, No. 2, of the Lehigh Valley
Coal company, whereby John Joyce,
inside mine foreman, was instantly
killed. Shortly after entering the mine
he proceeded up the slope to a place
where a squeeze was threatened, as
the pillars had been robbed in that Sec
tion some time ago.
Several mules were inside and he
wished to have them taken to a place
Of safety. He was sounding the roof
to ascertain it's condition when, with
one crash, the enormous pile was upon
him and the two mules that stood near
by. The employees at once went to
work to extricate the body and in a few
hours it was removed to his home,
mangled and lifeless.
Mr.. Joyce had been in the employ of
the company nearly all his life. and by
his death they lose one of the most
trusted employees. Deceased was sc
years of age and was a resident of
Pittston until about five years ago. He
is survived by a wife, formerly Miss
Annie Langan, of Pittston, and three
small children, the youngest being but
two weeks old. His mother and sister,
Margaret, reside in Pittston. He was
a member of the C. NJ. b. A. The
funeral will take place on Saturday
morning with a requiem mass. Inter-
ment will be made in Pittston ceme-
terry.

OLCHEFSKiS AGAIN ARRESTED.
A Sufferer from the Explosion Charges
Them with Perjury.

Leon F. Olchefski. who is accused of
causing the disastrous South Side ex-
plosion, and his wife, Helena, We're ar
rested yesterday at the instance of
Michael j. O'Hara for perjury. The
crime is alleged to have been COM
mitted during the trial OF civil case
before Alderman Millar last February.
The defendants swore that Olchefski's s
brother was not working for him at
the time. O'Hara has since learned, he
alleges, and says he will be able to
prove that they swore falsely. Detec-
tive VIII F. Clifford arrested the Oh
chefskis at their boarding house on
upper Lackawanna avenue. They gave
bail for hearing at 2 o'clock this af-
ternoon before Alderman Millar.
O'Hara. the prosecutor, lived to the
south of the Olchefski store at the time
of the explosion. His home was totally
destroyed and he and his family had
narrow escape from death.

There is a movement afoot to form
a combination of the local breweries
and back of it is a strong capitalized
company, which includes many we'll
known Pennsylvanians, including
State Senator Andrews. his brother,
Charles Andrews, the Harrisburg rep
rosentative of the State liquor dealers,
Lieutenant Governor Lyons and 9TH
ers.
The project Is being carried on with
all possible secrecy and, of course, the
public will have to wait some time for
the details. This much, however, is
known, that there is a plan under way
to fern big brewery combine, that
the Pittsburg and Allegheny breweries
have agreed to enter it and that the
bI ewers of this city and Wilkes Barre
are being urged to also come in
Whether 1t means a state combine or
several district combinations to be
controlled by one company of capital
lists, has not yet been developed, but
indications would point to the latter
conjecture being the correct one.
Senator Andrews, who is interested
in the Bergner-Engle Brewing COM
pany Of Philadelphia, and his brother,
Charles, have been in this city during
the past week and it is known that
their mission was in the interests OF
the contemplated combine. John p
Persch, well-known Philadelphia
politician. who is said to be connected
with telephone and brewing interests,
has been here since July H. as a rep
resentative of the brewing combine
and has had conferences with various
of the local breweries. Warren &
Knapp are said to be looking after the
legal end of the deal.
All parties concerned are refusing tc
give out any definite information or
the matter A member of one of the
biggest of the Scranton brewing firms
said however, last evening, that there
| is a syndicate after the local breweries
and that the syndicate is composed OF
| outside capitalists. Further than this
he declined to have anything to say a,
present.
The fact that the local breweries are
engaged in a bitter war which has re.
duced the price of beer from s8 a barre
| to So and in some instances less, makes
it quite likely that the scheme will
meet with favor here.

BEFORE BREAKFAST. s
The New International Match.
322 Lackawanna Ave.

"Why are your eyes so sad, dear?'
She asked with a tender grace.
"Have you broken your own pet golf
stick,
Or lost on that horrd race?
Have you bought out a Sunday paper,
Or given up cigars?
Or is our ball teams absence
The thought your gladness mars?"
He smiled not as he answered:
''I'm here to say goodbye.
I'm off to the Yukon River,
Where the yellow gold does lie.
And of course when wondrous riches
Have swiftly come to me,
/ must go abroad to marry
A princess beyond the sea-" .,
1t Is a pity that the city councils or
some other influential bodies or spirits
cannot afford to buy shadow box as
a protection besides a square of mos
quito netting for the Chartran portrait
of Mr.. Joseph Albright at the public
library. The beautiful picture might
as well be ,shrouded in Grape for all the
pleasure 1t can afford the thousands of
visitors to the library in it's present
state of obscurity. A glass protection
would be of small expense and would
only enhance the attractions of the
portrait. Mosquito netting over a
Chartran painting would be funny were
it not so painful TO see. The librarian
has done the best thing possible. The
splendid work of art and its rich frame
must be protected, but 1t is for the city
authorities to provide something suit
able to the dignity of the object.

two women would want to talk about

the other night as he was catching
the hill breezes on the front porch.

SCHOOL BOARD AGAIN BORROWS
Secures Loan of $4,000 from the
Third National Bank.

The board of control is again on the
borrow. Yesterday arrangements were
completed for the loan of $4,000 from
the Third National bank.
This amount will be applied to the
payment of the overdue bonding or
ders. In the recent bond issue provis-
ion was made to pay off $1,000 of this
Indebtedness, orders to that amount
demanding immediate settlement. 1t
was thought that the tax collections
would come in before the other $4,000
would be due. but the delay in the
assessment overthrew all calculations
and sooner than have the boards credit
called into question the loan was de-
cided upon.
The general accounts will have to
stand until the tax collectors make
their returns. Last year when the
board was confronted with a similar
condition of affairs City Treasurer Bo-
land helped it out of it's dilemma by

CHILD'S NARROW ESCAPE
Was Snatched from In Front OF a D.
and II. Passenger Train by
Fireman Sampson.

A childs death on the tracks of the
Delaware and Hudson railroad near
Avoca yesterday was averted by the
presence of mind and quick action of
Fireman L. Sampson, who jumped from
the engine cab and snatched the little
one from the rails while the train was
in motion. The mother of the child
saw the occurrence and became hys-
terical from joy.
1t was Train No. 10, in charge of
Conductor Knapp. and left Wilkes
Barre at 535 o'clock. After leaving
Avoca Engineer Alexander Copeland
got the train quickly under way and
when about six hundred yards had
been covered noticed that a child
scarcely four years of age had darted
in front of the engine about three rods
ahead. Copeland quickly reversed the
engine and applied sand to the rails.
Fireman Sampson Immediately grasped
the situation and swung from the cab.
While the train was coming to a
standstill Sampson ran alongside and
then in front of the engine, where he
snatched the little toddler from be-
tween the rails, the pilot going a dozen
feet or more beyond the point where
the child had stood.
A woman was seen running out of a
house near the tracks. She had been
witness to her offspring's narrow es-
cape from horrible death. To her the
child was delivered by Sampson. After
eScitedly pouring out her thanks to the
fireman, the mother laughed and cried
by turns and fairly smothered the child
with kisses and tears, and the train was
again started on it's journey to this
city.
1t is presumed the child was so ac-
customed to the noise and whistling OF
engines near it's home that it paid nc
heed to the signals of warning from
the engine that came so near to crush
ing its life ont

KIDNAPPING A CHILD.
Serious Charge Preferred Against
Andrew Grage, of Dunmore.

1t was announced in Tuesdays Tri-
bune that little Michael Gudagno, of
Dunmore, had been lost on Sunday last.
The parents thought their son had
strayed away while they were berry
picking. Tuesday they thought differ
entity and had Andrew Grage arrested
on a charge of kidnapping their boy.
The hearing was held before Squire
Scott and Grage denies any knowledge
of the boy.
He saw him going up the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western tracks near
where he was working and had not
seen him since. He was held, however
in $500 bail for his appearance at court
Witnesses testified to seeing the boy
follow Grage up the tracks.

Tho CdN has know, the Byers family, of
Talbot, Ind, for a long time and j. W.
Byers is one of those deliberate men who
say little, but read and observe much. Mr..
Byers has been suffering for the past three
years with grip ,and kindred troubles. His
mother has ever been a sufferer resulting
later in the most aggravating form of rheu-
matism. Some time ago Mr.. Byers was per-
suaded by a ncighbor to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. 1t didn't take long TO set Mr..
Byers to talking about this remedy, and the
CAL sent special representative to his home
to ascertain the exact facts. The subjoned
sworn statement of Mr.. Byers is sufficient.
