YOUNG BOYS NARROW
ESCAPE FROM DEATH
Little Johnny Sailer Had Most Thrill.
ing Experience.
IN A REVOLVING COAL SCREEN
Fell Into the Machine While Picking
Coal--When Rescued He Was I'm
conscious and Had n Fractured Les
and Badly Bruised Body--At tho
Lackawanna Hospital His Condi-
ton Is Considered Critical.

The sensation of being whirled rap
idly about inside a revolving coal screen
can be better imagined than described.
Fourteen-year-Old Johnnie Sailerpas-
sed through such an experience yester-
day afternoon at the little breaker on
the East Mountain near mountain lake.
He Is now at the Lackawanna hospital
with a fractured leg.
The boy admitted to a Tribune re-
porter at the hospital last night that
he was picking COAL" when the ac-
cident occurred. His mother is the
widow Of Charles Sailer and with her
children lives on Moltke avenue one
Of the last thoroughfares on the South
Side.
While young Sailer was engaged in
picking coal yesterday he stood upon
a narrow board directly in front of the
mouth of the big main screen of the
breaker
The noise unnerved the little fellow
and he lost his balance and fell right
into the big opening and in an instant
his frail body was buftetted about in
the steadily moving machine.
Rolling about in the hard coal at the
bottom, dashing from the top where the
screen carried him to the bottom and
in its fall the body smashing against
the stout iron axle, cut by the coal,
bruised Ivy the fall and choalting and
binding from the dust the little fel-
low only managed to cry out for few
seconds and then he was still.
The breaker boys saw him fall, and
heard the boy cry but in the confusion
for a minute or so nothing was done.
Then they ran to have the screen
stopped.
Meanwhile the other boys gathered
about the mouth Of the screen. He
could not be reached as his body was
rolling farther and farther into the
screen. They heard an ominous crack
and saw his left leg being crushed
between the axle and the iron interior
supports to the screen. After four or
five minutes the engines We're stopped
and one of the employees went into the
screen and dragged out Sailer. He was
unconscious and bleeding from cuts all
over his face and head. His clothing
also was torn and tattered.
The little fellow when rescustaTed
complained of the pain in his leg and
It was decided to send for the Lacka-
wanna hospital ambulance.
Late in the afternoon young Sailer
was taken to the hospital. The frac-
ture of the leg is above the knee and
is very dangerous.
1t is thought however that the boy
will recover.

ACTION OF RECTOR AND VESTRY.
Taken with Reference to the Death OF
John Atticus Robertson.

At meeting of the rector and vestry
of the Church of the Good Shepherd
held Nov. H. 1897, ii was moved ana
carried that the following record be
made of the death Of our late junior
warden and tred surer John Atticus
Robertson, and that a copy thereof be
forwarded to Mrs. Robertson, and that
the same be published in the Scranton
IGpeIs:
For as much as it hath pleased Al
mighty God, in His wise Providence, to
cali to rest our brother John Atticus Rob-
ertson, who was relieved from a long
period of suffering on Tuesday, Nov. 9,
1897, 1t is our desire to give expression to
the attcctionate regard held for him 10
preserve the same in the records of the
parish. To refer to his connection with
the Church of the Good Shepherd would
be to write its history from the time when
q few friends gathered together and held
service in a carriage house, kindly
loaned for the purpose, up to the morning
of his death, when he discOursed most
interestodly concerning the approaching
election of a bishop.
During all that long period ne gave un-
sparngly, both of mOney and of effort. to
advance the welfare Of our church.; the
desirable property We Low possess, includ-
ing the stone tnuGCn DlllulDB ana ltCIOIy,
are a monument to his good Judgment
and good management, never allowing an
actual want of the church to be passed
by through fear of the difficulties of rails
ing the necessary funds, and, on he
other hand, never permitting an excess
of zeal to run away with that prudence
which is essor tial to all good growth.
In the activities of the life of the
church., he was ever a leader and ever a
safe one. Acql aiEted, to an unusual de-
gree with the history of the church, his
opinions both in conventions and in the
smaller circles at home, were always re-
gar1ed as being based not only upon good
motives, but also upon sound learning
and intelligence. Public spirited, care
full to perform every civic duty, rejoic-
ing in the welfare of his neighbor, and
sympathizing in his misfortune he filled
the full measure of good citizenship. OF
the Gentler qualities that radiated from
his Christian nature few, who knew him,
are ignorant, and not the least of these
was charity. He loved children and they
loved him.
When friends were merry, he was mer-
ry: and when grief darkened the thres-
hold how many have felt their load light
ened through his kindly sympathy and
activity.
In recording this inadequate apprecia-
ton of our departed friend, we thank God
for the example that his life has been to
us, and pray him that our lives may be
the better for it, If they shall so prove,
1t will be a fitting memorial.

AVERAGE PER MEMBER

This is an average of about $3l per men,
Der per annum. The Adams avenue mis-
sion was organized, first as a small mis-
sion Sunday school. 1t has steadily grown
so as to demand and receive successfully
an independent building, separate services
and an assistant pastor. 1t is now almost
ripe for organization as an independent
church.
The West Side mission, born Of the
consecrated enthusiasm of two of the
church student volunteers, has been
planted in one of the most neglected Sec
tons or the city, and has year by year
enlarged its activities and efficiency.
Almost from the beginning of this pas
torate the services of a city missionary
have been enlisted to aid in the pastoral
and benevolent work of the church. This
position has been most efficiently filled
by Mrs. Caroline Stevens, Miss Mary
Dunbar and Miss Lucella McGaughey.
The membership in the Sabbath schools
in the church has increased from four
hundred and fifty-siX at the beginning 10
eight hundred and forty at the present
There has been no year since 1887 in which
the membership was not larger than
the previous year.
The membership and efficiency of the
Christian Endeavor society has been
greatly augmented, and a large and earn
est Junior society has been formed
The growth of the missionary interest
has been most marked. New life and zeal
have been infused into all the missionary
societies of the church. Soon after the
beginning of this pastorate the church
undertook the support of Rev. and Mrs
John Watson in the Persian mission, and
during the present year, through the
munifcence of one of its members, it has
been enabled to provide for the support
of Rev. and Mrs. II. w. Luce in the Nor,h

WONDERFUL RECOVERY OF MISS HATTIE KING.
Stricken the Bod and upon the Verge Of InssShe Finds Remedy when Hope
had Almost F-The Best Physicians Failed 10 do Anything for Her.
From The Iihacan, ithaca, ". Y.


Another bad symptom was q cough, which
was so unremitting that ii was the general
opinion of our friends that she was consump.
tive. She lost flesh rapidly. Sometimes she
would be confined TO the bed for two or
three weeks, then be around again, but only
to suffer relapse.
She was not only a physical wreck, but
her mind was affected, and at times she had
no realization of what she was doing. We
feared, in fact, complete mental overthrow
and consequent removal to an asylum, for
although We had two of the best physicians
in the city, and had tried several proprietary
medicines, none benefited her.

Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, and
had also heard Of some cases where they
had done good and we decided TO give them

store of White & Burdick, of this city.
Hattie began TO take the pills in the
early part Of January of this year. I'm.
provoment was noticeable after the frst box
had been taken. The first hopeful sign that
! noticed was that she did not complain Of
headache. The attacks of dizziness also be.
gan to abate in frequency, and she ceased to
cough. One after another, the distressing
symptoms left her. She took, in all, nine
boxes of the pills. AT the present time she
is in perfect health. The alteration in her
mind and body is almost past belief

and its pastor and its influence on the
community.
DIR. ROBINSON'S REMARKS.
Dr. Robinson then went to the plat
form and responded with visible emo
tion to the many kind thoughts which
had been expressed. He said he had
been looking all around for the man
they had been talking about and could
not but think that a skilfull artist had
painted an attractive picture which
was exhibited under a wrong name,
but that he would not grleve his
friends by repelling the beautiful gift
of their kindness, but would take all
the honors and lay them at his masters
feet He was proved tC be citizen OF
Scranton and pastor of that church.

were served under the directions Of

and Torrev.

 The statement that the queen intends to visit Ireland next year is repeated. It is believed that the idea of such a visit has been entertained, but that no final decision on the subject has been taken. The queen has paid three visits to Ire land-in 1S49 1853 and 1861.
 Mathilde Heintze, who, after poisoning her husband with arsenic at Sarnawko, Prussian Poland. fled to the United States, whence her extradition was ob- tained. has just been executed at Lissas, the decapitation, as usual being effected by means of a big two-handed sword wielded by the executioner, Reindel.
 When President Faure visited the hos pitalS at Ivry he became greatly interest ed in one of the 300 old women he saw there.
