FELL TO HIS DEATH.
Leonard Morris of the North End,
Dies from His Injuries.

Leonard Morris, aged IL years, q
breaker boy in the Leggett's Creek
breaker, met with an accident Satur-
day afternoon which cost him his life.
Young Norris had completed his days
work and was walking down the flight
of steps, the exit from the breaker,
when, in some unaccountable way, he
lost his footing and fell to the tracks
below, a distance of about thirty feet.
He was picked up by some of his COM
rades who found him to be suffering
from a severe bruise near the temple
as a result of his coming in contact
with the rail.
Morris was taken to the home of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. William Nor
ris, or William street. At first his in
jurles were not considered serious but
towards evening he gradually grew
worse and finally succumbed about II
o'clock Saturday evening to his in
juries. Death resulted from an inter-
nal hemorrhage of the brain, superin-
duced by the severe shock which he
received.
The funeral will take place Wednes-
day afternoon at 2 o'clock from the
home Of his parents.

STRUCK A TROLLEY CAR.
Passengers Going Down the Valley Had
a Narrow Escape at the Moosic
Crossing Yesterday Afternoon.

A crowd of sixty persons on an open
car bound towards Pit,ston had a mar
row escape from death at the Moosic
crossing yesterday afternoon.
For some reasons, not definitely un-
derstood, the car was run over the
crossing, which. as newspaper readers
will remember, is forbidden by a su-
preme court decision. Just as it was
clearing the south bound track the
Jersey Central passenger train which
leaves this city at 2.15 o'clock bore
down upon it. The passengers saw the
imminent danger, and all managed to
jump safely to the ground and scamper
out of harms way.
The engineer of the passenger train
saw that the car would not clear the
track and applied the emergency
brake. He could not stop the train in
time, however. and it crashed into the
rear end of the car lifting it into the
Air and depositing it at right angles
with its track. How narrow the es-
cape was can be imagined when it is
told that the conductor took a short cut
to safety through the rear window.
The motorman, it is said, was new to
that line and was not aware that cars
conductor possibly was not aware of
the close proximity of the crossing
and before he realized the car was
| humping over the tracks. Then likely
he gave a bell to halt the motorman
and while there stopped along comes
the passenger train.
| The passengers, or at least those
who could be found, do not remember
any of the little incidents that pre-
ceded the accident. Even had they no.
ticed them the excitement would no
doubt have eradicated them from their
memory.
The motorman claims the rail was
slippy and his car slid on to the cross
ing, despite efforts to stop it. When
on the crossing he saw the approach

half way over he thought it better tc

would be necessary to reverse the mo-
tors.
One of the passengers when seen
last night figured it out that it was
possibly fortunate that the car after
all went on to the crossing. Had the
car come to stop on this side of the

HE WILL SUPPORT THE MEASURE,
Mr.. Chittenden Believes There Was
Ground for Wheelmcu's Complaint.

When the streets and bridges COM
mittee of select council and the rep
resentatives of the bicycle clubs were
in conference Friday night, the wheel
men asked that a measure be passed
making IL a penal offense to throw
tacks, broken glass or broken dishes
on the streets.
The next morning on the way to his
store Mr.. Chittenden saw boys scatter
ing broken glass on Lackawanna ave-
nue. and then retire to watch some
wheelman's CONSERVATION as his tire
flattened out.
Mr.. Chittenden caught the boys and
under threat of taking them to the sta
tion house compelled them to pick up
every fragment of the glass. 1t is
needless to say that he will be a
staunch supporter of the measure pro-
posed by the wheelmen.

ITS MANIFEST DESTINY.
Pioneer Believes That Dunmore Will
soon BE Part of Scranton.

The Dunmore Pioneer Saturday con-
tained the following with reference
to the probable annexation Of a portion
OF the Sixth ward of Dunmore:
"The Second district of the Sixth
ward has for a long time wanted to
cut away from the ancient borough,
and now that there seem to be no SER
ious legal hindrances we would not be
surprised to see the movement towards
secession started very soon--indeed,
II we are reliably informed, steps are
already being taken to bring about the
enforcement.
after the first slice is taken off the
old borough the remainder will glide
into Scranton as quick as the much
talked-about streak of creased light
ming"

BEFORE BREAKFAST.

Mr.. and Mrs. F. S. Godfrey, of Hotel
Jermyn, had a delightful trip abroad.
In London rooms had been secured
for them by Mr.. John Jermyn and they
had an exceptionally good place from
which to view the jubilee procession.
Mrs. Godfrey was close enough to the
Queen to have touched her with the
parasol she held, but Notwithstanding
the natural scorn of monarches enter
tanned by the average patriotic Amer
lean, our young townswoman refrained
from using the advantage she pos
sessed in a way that would have smit-
ten with horror the true royalists in
her vicinity. When leaving the Pal
ace at Versatile, Mr.. and Mrs. Godfrey
ran across the party of young people
from this city chaperoned by Miss
Mccartney.
Messrs. Carl Welles, Joseph Boies,
Mortimer Fuller and E. S. Moffat
formed party that spent yesterday
at Como.
The suggestions offered by the BIZ
cyclists as to how they shall be regu-
lated fully match in fantastic degree
those of the councilmen. The spec
tacle of the average citizen sprinkling
the street in front of his residence
with the garden hose, and scrupul-
ously allowing a few feet along the
gutter to remain nice and dry and
dusty for the benefit of the wheelmen
| and wheelwomen would be highly en-
tertaining. Just how this feat can be
| accomplished somebody has neglected
| to explain.

GERMAN BARONS
WAL KING To WIN
Doing a Trip Around the
World On Foot and
Horseback.
A Wager Provides That They
Shall Not Use Wheeled We
hicles On the Route.
Cannot Ask for Credit or Borrow
Money-They Are Now Working
fer the Spring Valley Water Co.

Baron A. de Sack and Baron F. de Le-
vetzow OF the Imperial German Cavalry
are in San Francisco. They are making
journey around the world on foot and on
horseback.
A little more than year ago Lord Fitz-
miller and Lord Elmer of the British
mounted troops were the guests of the
German officers at the mess of the latter.
The subject of travelling without the aid
of wheeled vehicles was brought up and
the discussion led to a wager whether it
was possible for the trip to be made
around the world on foot and on horse
back within certain limit OF time.
The two German officers accepted a
wager proffered by the British. 1t was
stipulated that the German troopers
should do the journey within two years;
that they should start without any money
and should neither borrow money nor ask
credit Tor any accommodation on the
route. The main condition of the wager
was that the route should be by land as
far as practicable, and on the land no
wheeled vehicle should be used. The Of
ticers were allowed to walk or to ride
horses.
At the appointed time Baron de Sack
and Baron de Levetzow set out from Ber-
lin and walked or rode horseback 10 Calais.
Crossing The Channel to Dover they
walked to London, where they Iarred for
ten days 10 accept hospitalities provided
by their British friends. At luncheon
they met the Prince of Wales, who mani
tested much interest in the wager. Leav-
ing London they walked 20 Liverpool, i,
there taking steamer for New York.
The travellers arrived in San Francisco
recently, bearing letters to Charles We bb
Howard. president of the Spring Valley
Water Works. They are now working for
the water company to earn money suffi-
cient to pay their fare to Japan.
Coming across the American continent
they performed most OF the journey on foot.
Their marches on foot averaged thirty-six
miles a dav, while twenty-one miles was
the average on horseback. To earn their
food and shelter they chopped wood,
trained horses and worked at anything
handy whereby dollar could be earned.
From this point the officers will go to
Yokohama, and from that point walk 10
a sea port. where schooners sail for VIadi-
vostock. The long walk or horseback ride
is from VladIvostock to Berlin, distance
of 800 miles across the plains of Siberia
and The Ural mountains. They have yet
a year and some weeks to spare in order
to finish the journey within the time pre-
scribed, and if no serious accidents occur
they will win the wager.
The wager permits them to accept
entertainments and courtesies from army
officers, and IN some places they have
been most kindly received and enter
tanned. They were not allowed leave OF
absence to make the journey, but received
assurance that reinstatement in the army
would be allowed if they returned to Ber.
lin within two years.
