BARREL OF REFUSE.
Offered a Junk Dealer for One Dollar

Philadelphia, Dec. 1O.-A junk dealer to-
day offered to cart off a barrel of stuff
on the farm of the late Wendell steele,
near Phillipsburg, N. J. The tenant
thought the stuff worth 81, and the two
parleyed over it. Finally the dealer sug-
gested upsetting the barrel. If it con-
tanned a dollars worth he would pay for
it. This was agreed to.
The barrels contents were dumped out
and turned over A lot of yellow metal
appeared and the junk dealer almost had
a fit. The yellow stuff proved to be a
heap of twenty ten and five dollar gold
pieces. In all there was $500. The con-

MARGARET MATHER
Now the Adopted Mother of a Chi
nese BABY.

Boston, Dec. 10.-Miss Margaret
Mather engaged a Chinese maid yester-
day, and While that is strange enough
to record, the fact that she had adopt
ed a baby in order to get her chosen
maid is still stranger.
The two appeared at the Boston the
ater last evening with Miss Mather. and
then go on the tour of towns, COM
mencing with Providence. r. 1. The
child is not a stranger to the stage, for,
although but four years of age, she
dances and sings in the Chinese lang
uage. His fathers stage name was
Boo Doy, and when the Chinese theater
was in existence at the north end of the
city Boo Doy was one of it's principal
actors. Hence the mother and child
and father may probably go with the
Mather company, for the father col
lapsed with the breaking up of the the
ater. The father is a native of the
province of Canton, in the city of Chong
Shan and the baby was born in Boston.
The little creature sat on the stage of
the Boston theater this afternoon and
looked as cOntented as if she were Mar
garet Mather herself.

PADDED CELL A,JOKE.
Yale Student Dragged OF as Insane,
When He Wasn't.


New Haven, Dec. 1O-Harry Otis
of last night in the padded cell reserved
almshOuse, as a result of the most
heartless joke practiced at Yale in ma
ny years. Johnson is % years old and
is a sophomore in the academic depart
ment.
He has battered away at all kinds of
adversely in his attempt to work his
way through college, and because of
his awkardneSS and greenneSS, some
of his more Opulent and graceful class
mates have singled him out for the vic
tim of their jokes, heretofore innocent
in effect.
Johnson earns his board by carving
in Mrs. Young'S student boarding house
and yesterday some of the practical jO-
kers spread the story about the house
that he was running amuck in the
kitchen with the carving knife, trying
to diSembOwel the servants: Mrs.
Young, who was in the parlor, tele-
phOned these facts to the police, who
sent a squad of five stalwart PATROL
men to the scene armed to the teeth
and prepared to give battle to a raVing
maniac. They found Johnson carving
the meat for dinner and by d ruSe the
trembling policemen succeeded in lur-
ing him from his carving knife. They
han0cuffed him and bound him securely
in the patrol wagon and took him to the
central station, where the entry in

and he was driven to the city aims
house and locked up in the padded cell
But President Dwight had heard that
some of the boys were joking poor

Bacteria in Falling Ceiling Got Into

Gallipolis, O.. Dec. 1O.-The real agent
that caused the recent toxic epidemic
at the epileptic hospital is bathing the
meteorological and chemical depart
ments at that institution.
DR.. Olemacher had made an exhaus-
tive analysis of samples of all food
served at the institution prior to the
outbreak. and found that they were free
from any infection. The hospital auth
critics are now in the dark as to how
the poison was communicated to the
patients. who have all rallied without
a solitary fatality
DR.. Olemacher says that an area Of
the ceiling recently fell in the kitchen
and some bacteria germs got into the
oatmeal, which was served the patients.
He thinks this germ fOstered the vio-
lent sickness. This VIII probably be
the only cause assigned for the poison

ONE DAYS CHAPTER
OF ACCIDENTS
Unknown Man Run Down on the D., l.
and W. Road at Bellevue.
REMAINS ARE NOT YET IDENTIFIED
Supposed to He Those of Daniel
O'Boyle, Hazleton Striker.
James Kelley Died in the Lacka-
wanna Hospital from Injuries sus-
tained saturday--supposed scran-
tonian Killed at Bufaio-.DanieI
keIIeher Injured invest Ridge Mine

An unknown man,apparently a trav-
| cling miner, was run down and killed
| on the Bloomsbury division of the Del
| aware, L.ackawanna and Western road,
between Luzerne and Fellows street,
at s o'clock last night.
He was walking on the southbound
track and in getting out of the way
of an engine coming upon him from
| the rear stepped In front Of steel rail
train ell route from the south mill
to the central city. He was knocked
down and the entire train passed over
him.
When he was picked up by the train
| hands and several other men who hap
pcned to be near, DIR. McGreevy, Of
the North End, among them, he was
alive but his vitality was fast leav-
| ing him and half an hour after the ac-
cident he died. His left arm was COM
pletely servered and there was an ugly
cash on the left side of his head.
| These were the only visible injuries
but it is supposed he was also hurt
internally.
The remains were taken to j. e.
| Regan's undertaking establishment on
Railroad avenue and prepared for bur-
ial. Up to midnight they had not been
| recognized and no definite clue to his
| identity could be gained.
There was nothing in his pockets that
| would in any way indicate whom he
| might be. That his occupation was
! that of q miner was conjectured from
| coal marks on the body, and that he
was on the road was indicated by a
| razor, brush, strop and shaving soap
| which were found on his person.
There is a possibility that the unfor-
| tunate man is Daniel OBoyle, a Hazle-
| ton striker. The thumb of the right
| hand had been recently amputated
near the second joint, and a bandage Of
clean linen showed that 1t had been
| but lately dressed. A telephone mes
sage to the Lackawanna hospital elic-
| tied the information that a man an
| swering the description given had been
| to the hospital yesterday morning to
have the physicians dress his right
| hand from which the left thumb had
| been recently amputated. He gave the
name of Daniel O'Boyle, stated that
| his residence was Hazleton, and also
| that he was a striker
Boys who We're playing about the
| bridge at Luzerne street just before the
accident say that the man who was
| killed had a companion when he passed
them and that after the accident the
second man was seen running down the
railroad bank and disappearing behind
a barn. Coroner Longstreet was noti-
| fled of the accident and Its attendant
circumstances and will make an in
Vestigation this morning.
The dead man is described as being
five feet nine inches tall and weighing
about 165 pounds. His age apparently
45 years. He wore a dark moustache,
had black hair and was quite bald.
His clothes were dark and rather shah
by and he had on a fairly good pair of
russet shoes.
