John Lewandowski, of the Scranton
flats, who was charged before Alder

ceny, assault and battery and threats

accounts, which LewandoWski wanted.
While Kazmarck was not at home
Lewandowsk entered the house and
procured the books, claiming that he

that he maltreated Mrs. Kazmarck,
who was the only one home.
Her condition at the time was seri-
ious and was aggravated by Lewan-
dowskis treatment. Lewandowski is
now in the county jail in default of
$500 bail. .

Scranton's favorite kair dresser and
artist will retire from business in this
city April 1st Until that date all work
will be done at greatly reduced prices
Every article in the store will be sold
at such low prices as will insure a
special clearance of the entire stock by
April 1st. This will be a rare opportu-
nifty to lay in supply of toilet articles,
switches, etc; also the only opportu-
nifty to have wigs, switches and front
pieces at prices that cannot be equalled
again. AS an artist in this line Mr..
konecny has no peer in this section of
the country, few to excel him anywhere.
He closes his business here for loCa-
ton in a larger city. All orders will
be executed promptly and for cash only.

The Wyoming house is not to be re-
modelled as was intended by the eXecu-
tors. Instead of being altered and hay
ing the first floor made into storerooms
it is to be torn down completely and
replaced by large and beautiful build

Tuesday last this decision was arrived
at. An agent for q company of New
York capitalists came here on that day
and Consummated deal for the control
of the building and at once the Hand
ley executors put aside the alteration
plans and set about figuring on the new
structure. The money for its erection
will be borrowed by mortgagiEg the
property.
The plan to remodel the Handley
block on the corner of Wyoming ave-
nue. and Spruce street has also been
abandoned. The executors intended to
place six stores there and have already
received bids for the work of remodel
ling the structure. Local investors,
however, who have had an option on
the place decided recently to buy it,

LABORER's QUEER MISTAKE.
Caused the Destruction of Two Large
Plate Glass Windows.

a peculiar mistake led to the destruc-
tion of two large plate glass windows
which We're being placed in position
yesterday at 32l LackaWanna avenue.
Each plate of glass was l0yS feet and
only one Of them had been fastened with
any degree of security when a laborer
with a number of bricks in his arms
walked into the less securely fastened
pane. He did not'know 1T had been put
in position. The glass fell against n
step ladder which forced the other glass
from its fastening and the whole fell
with a rosCunding crash.

John Thomas, a pump runner, and
ployed by Benjamin Phillips in deep
ening Johnson's shaft at Priceburg,
had most thrilling experience yester-
day morning.
Coming up on the bucket the bail
caught on some protrubance and one
side of it broke from the bucket. Hang
ing only by one side of the bail the
bucket twisted, twirled and bumped
against the sides, tearing away the
steam and water pipes and signal wires
and throwing the men out. Miraculous
as it may seem both men managed to
clutch something and prevented them
selves from falling.
Needham, as he felt himself going,
stretched out his hands by chance
more than anything else, caught hold
of the chain which is suspended from
the rope to the bail. of the bucket.
johnson landed plumb against an up
right pipe and clutched it for dear life.
NEEDHAM CLIMBED UP.
Needham by climbing up the rope
reached the point where the bunting
commenced and was enabled to Chamber
to the Clark vein landing. Johnson,
however. could only cling to the pipe
and shout for help. 1t was too great a
height to climb and it was impossible
to slide to the bottom as the pipe did
not reach within twenty feet of it. His
only hope was to hang there until res
cued.
This was not as easy a matter as
might SEEM The bucket before Coming
to stop tore loose everything that it
encountered and as a consequence it
was highly dangerous to the man hang
ing on the pipe below, to attempt tC
move the bucket or to let anybody
down past it, as piece of timber
| might be dslodged and crash down or
Thomas head. At all events it was
| thirty-five minutes before he was res
cued and according TO his own state
| ment if succor had been delayed five
minutes longer he would have beer
] killed for his limbs were becoming
numb and he could not have held OF
much longer. The distance from where
| he was hanging to the bottom of tht
shaft is eighty feet, and had hi!
| strength failed him he would surel!
| have been dashed to death.

THOMAS INTERVIEWED.

Thomas lives on North Washington
avenue opposite the county Jail. When
visited there yesterday by a Tribune
reporter he said it was the most thrill
ling experience he had ever gone
through and hoped he would never have
to go through it again. Hanging there
in the darkness, his lamp having been
eXtinguished by the fall from the buck
ct, with no idea of how or when he was
going to be relieved. he felt he said,
that every minute after the first five
or ten minutes was as long as an hour.
And to aggravate his torment the
rescuers by mistake lowered the rope
down the wrong shaft and had to raise
it after it was just opposite him and
leave it again down the shaft he was
suspended in. They had made a moose
in it and by slipping his foot through
this and clinging with one hand to the
rope and the other to the pipe to steady
himself he was hoisted safely to the
top His legs from being wounded
about the pipe We're black and blue and
skinned in several places.

clans in their aspirations for stand
inc in national politics? 1t will be
difficult to satisfactorily explain to
the citizens of average intelligence
the connection of the free silver
doctrine with the local elections of
the state. 1t would be a good
wedge to split ami disorganize the
democratic party in Virglna.
Notwithstanding this fact there are
thousands Of so called democrats in
Virginia who base the purity OF
their politics upon the fact that they
blindly followed the Chicago con
ventlon in its peregrinations through
populistic territory, and would now
throw up their hats and rejoice to
see the democracy OF Virginia a.
dept a pOpuhstic platform even
though it should be rejected by
the populists and a large part OF
the real democrats of the State. II
the endorsement Of the Chicago
platform is to be the test Of democ
rscy in a State election, thous'
ands Who would willingly vote the
democratic ticket will refuse to do
so. The success of the ticket would
be dependent upon the political
skill ofthc opposition and the ei'
ficiency of the present election law
in partisan politics.
This is certainlY time whom the
democratic party needs statesmen
instead of demagogues at the helm.
Its continued success as party In
this State, is to a great extent
dependent upon the convention
which will frame its platform.
