Dominick Heaiey Had an Unpleasant
ENperience Last Might.

do yo'I hear that dog?" said Fitzger-
aid to Davis. Thy listened. The noise
seemed like the groaning of human
being. Its a man." exclaimed Davis.
The two young men went to the edge
of the bank and peered over. They
saw some object moving in the pool
of water which yesterdays rain had
made in the hollow between the rail-
road and the foot of the bank
Davis and Fitzgerald rushed down
the bank and dragged from the water
Dominick Healey, of Pine Brook.
He tried to explain that while walk
ing along the bank he tumbled over.
He did not know how long he had
been in the water but it was early in
the evening when he tumbled down
the bank. His clothing was soaked
through.
When found Healey was laying on his
back in the pool. The depth of the
water just permitted his face to APP
pear above the water. He was help
less.
With an effort Healey was dragged
to the street and escorted to his home.

at Luther Keller's West JIackawanna
avenue lime establishment, was struck
on the head at o'clock last evening
by a 9-pound fire brick thrown by

o'clock he visited at the house of a
family named Sprague in the rear of
the lime establishment. He drove a
horse attached to a light buggy. Be
fore entering the SpraSue house he

CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.

At that hour the teamsters of the
lime wagons drove to the shed to put
up the wagons for the night. Carter,
who was one of the teamsters, found
Wagner's buggy in the stall where he
was accustomed to leave his wagon and
without any ceremony united Wagner's
horse and backed the buggy from the
she'd Then he drove his wagon in it's
place.
Wagner happening to look from the
window of the Sprague house and saw
his horse and buggy standing on the
road and he rushed out in a rage. He
demanded of Carter why he had moved
the buggy. Carter told him that he
wanted to place his wagon there and
Wagner said he had permission from
Mr.. Keller to use the shed any time he
wished to. Carter didn't see how Wag-
neTs claim could come before his, and
he told Wagner so
Words led to words and finally Car
ter passed some severe remark, to
which Wagner retorting with a still
more severe one using an expression
which Carter resented.
According to Wagner the teamster
picked up a brick and was about to
strike him. AT any rate the salesman
also grabbed a brick from a pile on the
side of the shed and hurled it full and
free at Carters head.
The brick struck Carter near the left
temple and he fell like log, senseless.

Stowcrs' Packing House.

Twelve year-old Willie Fadden, OF
Green's lane, while playing about Stow
er's packing house, yesterday after
noon, fell into a vat containing hot
water used to scald hogs and received
q painful burning.
The men employed about the place
effected a hasty rescue and wrapping
the boy up carefully to exclude the air

near by, where medical aid was hur-

would tend to relieve his suffering was
done and it was thought the boy would
pull through all right.
Fortunately, at the time, the water
in the vat was not at it's usual high
temperature. or fatal results would
doubtlessly have resulted.

WAGNER FLED.

Wagner Immediately sprang into his
buggy and drove away at the full
speed of his horse. Carter recovered
consciousness after five minutes and
was carried to the home of his son,
Sidney Carter, who lives in the rear
of the office next to the Sprague house.
Drs. Heilner and Beckwith were
summoned and dressed the small cut
on Carter's head.
The brick struck on its fiat side a
quarter of an inch from the edge of
the left temple near the eye. The bone
was laid open.
Drs. HNlner and Beckwith thought
last night that the skull was not frac-
tured. The blow was a severe enc,
however, and definite decision could
not be made owing to the swelling.
Instant death would have resulted if
the brick had struck another inch to
the right.
Immediately after the assault Harry
Van Horn started in pursuit of Wag-
ner. At the time of Wagner's frenZied
act his name was unknown to any
body around the place except the
Spragues whom he had been visiting.
A member of this family--a young wo-
man-gave his name to Mr.. Van Horn
and on the authority of Mr. Keller a
warrant was issued by Alderman Mil
lar at 7.30 o'clock.
Detective Moir arrested Wagner in
Dunmore last night. lie appeared
before Alderman Millar and entered
bail on his own recognizauce for a
hearing today. Wagner is unmarried
and is middle-aged.
Carter is a married man, aged Al
years. His home is at 9l1 SHETLAND
street.
Last night his mind was wandering
and his condition a matter of serious
alarm. He is still at the home of his
son in the rear OF the lime Office.

THEY WERE NOT UNDER OATH.
Charge Made Against the Smiths Was
Unfounded.

Frank Soplisky made a mistake yes
terday which cost him morley. He
caused the issuance of a warrant for
the arrest of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Smith, of the North End, charging
them with perjury. The supposed
falsehood was made in Alderman
Noone's office in the North End, where
a sister of Mr.. Smith secured a judg-
ment for SIS board bill from Soplisky.
Yesterday, when Soplisky's charge
against the Smiths was heard by AL
derman Millar it was discovered that
the defendants had not been put un-
der oath by Alderman Noone, hence
there was no perjury. Soplisky paid
the costs.
