A Waterman Stands Guard over North
western Switch Track

/
Western Switch Track.
| 1t appears that trouble is imminent
between the Northwestern railroad and
! the Milwaukee, Racine & Kenosha
Electric railway, at a point not far
from the Sanitarium. Certain discov-
cries were made today which bear a
very threatening aspect to the electric
railway. It seems that the Northwest
ern railroad has a watch at the inter-
section of the electric railway with the
Northwestern switch line which crosses
the highway just at the foot of the hill
north of the Sanitarium. 1t leaked
out Wednesday that the watch was in
the service of the railroad, and had
been doing duty night and day for
several weeks. A little shanty has
been placed at the side of the track for
the purpose of shelter. 1t is about 100
yards from the crossing. 1t is said
that the function of the watch is to
keep an eye on the advance of the
electric railway in order that, when it
has approached sufficiently near the
Northwestern line, he may notify the
authorities at the station in time to
have an engine across the track
to intercept the electric railway
before it shall have accomplished
passage. Work on the electric rail-
way is advancing rapidly and it will
not be long before the shock will come
if the portends have been read correct
| ".
Thes man who is burdened with
the responsibility of spying on the OPP
erations of the NJ, r. & K. Electric
railway assumes a very wary aspect.
At the approach of anything
in human guise he fees as from
plague. A representative of this paper
sought quiet commune with him to-
day, but was cautioned to keep at a
safe distance, the watch continually
moving away as if fearing an ambush.
When his solitary reign was very sud-
denly molested Wednesday he very
quickly put distance between himself
and the intruder, meanwhile shouting
| to the fellow not to come any closer.
| When his fears were Gained, however,
he became talkative and said that he
allowed but few to approach him, fear
ing that be might be attacked. 1t is
also reported that one man has already
given up the position on account of the
danger connected with it. All he
vouchsafed to the NEWS reporter was
that he was Waterman in the employ
of the North Western railroad.
An element which will make fun if
the Northwestern people attempt to
make trouble for the Electric company,
will grow out of the fact that the
Northwestern railroad never secured
permission from the town board of
Somers to cross that road, and the
Electric people have the right of way
over the road. 1t is believed that if
the difficulty does arise, that it will be
a complicated one as we'll as three
sided affair.

WANT TO MATCH JUDGE.
Charlie Johnson of Philadelphia Is
the Man, Gardner. Allen Go.

George II. Kane of the sporting de-
partment of the Philadelphia Record,
has written one of the McGovern BROTH
ers, of this city, looking toward
match between Charlie Johnson, the
Philadelphia lightweight, and James
Judge. Mr.. Kane suggests $3.50 a side
and the proceeds, the winner to take
all. The weight suggested is 1876
pounds, give or take three pounds. The
sporting editors letter was referred to
Jack Skelly, of Brooklyn, and It is
quite probable that the match will be
made, though Skelly will probably in
sist that the weight shall be 1873 pounds,
give or take three.
Judges hands are pretty badly used
up as a result of his fifteen-round bat
tie with Jack McWilliams and he will
not be able to do any bag or sparring
work for two weeks. This would pre-
vent the men from coming together
before about July 1. The go would be
in Music hail. this city.
BY tomorrow night Toby Gardner and
Joe Allen will be matched to box 20
rounds at Music hail. the bout to take
place about June 20. There was a great
deal of feeling between the two ban
tdiiS piSNlOuS " lHelT lOui-IOulu IlSSl-
ing at Music hall on the night of the
Judge -McWilliams fight. Gardner was
given the decision by Referee Murphy.
Although the unprejudiced persons
about the ringside thought the decision
just, there was howl from Aliens
handlers and friends and the rivalry
between the youngsters was increased.
That night they posted forfeit bind
ing them to make a match. Each
agreed to large number of rounds as
then there would be no excuse for crit
icizing a decision of the referee. Ar
ticles were to have been signed Tues
day night, but this was postponed dur
ing the absence from the city of
Bobby" Allen, Joe's brother, and
James Connery, who are looking after
the little fellows interests. Tomorrow
night it is expected that all arrange
ments will be made for the match.

so often expressed, that Or. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney rem
edy tulfills every wish in relieving
pain In the back, kidneys, liver blad-
der and every part of the urinary pas
ssges. 1t corrects inability to hold
ullne and scalding pain in passing 1t,
or bad effects following use of LIQUOR,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
to utinate. The mild and the extraor-
dlnary effect of Swamp Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for Its
wonderful cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need a medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists, price fifty cents and one dollar.

MCCOY THE WINNER.
0utcIassed 0'Brien and the Referee
Stopped the Fight In the
Tenth Round.

New York. May 2e.--At the Palace
Athletic club tonight, the welter-
weight boxers Kid Mccoy, who recent
ly returned from South Africa, and
Dick O'Brien, Of Boston, met at catch
weights for twenty-five rounds.
O'Brien had the advantage in weight.
The Kid was the favorite in the betting
as much as 100 to 40 being laid on him
and a ton of money was waEered on
him at odds OF and 3 to 1.
Mccoy was far the better ring gem
eral. He simply wore down his oppo-
nent, who, despite his gameness, was
outclassed, and after they had only
gone half way through the tenth
round, Referee Charley White stopped
the fight and declared Mccoy the win
ner.
O'Brien was badly beaten, and the
action of the referee was commended
by all the spectators.

DIAMOND DUST.


Barre Begins Here Today--Pecui-
lar Play in a College Game.-FaI-
Ion, ScrantOn's Colt Pitcher, Is
Home Again.
Paste this in your hat; 1t is the schedule
of the Scranton-Wilkes-B games:
At Scranton today;
At Wilkes-Barre tomorrow;
At Scranton Saturday;
At Wilkes-Barre Monday morning;
At Scranton Monday afternoon.
At WilkesBarre Tuesday.
There is many a good reason for the
fact that the Miners ought to win the
majority of the games, while there are
but two things to indicate that the club.
may split even. However the former rea-
sons are so much in the majority that the
local fans are looking forward to a ki.inE
bee in which the Miners won't be the
dead ones. There is the old fear of the
hoodoo, and the Scranton pitchers are not
in the best of condition, but the hoodoo is
TO be driven to the woods and the Miners
are to win, even though handicapped in
the box department
Today Will see the first game OF the
series at Athletic park and then the
games will alternate between the two
cities. Given pleasant weather the av-
erage attendance ought TO be 1000 persons.
A rare and peculiar situation developed
in Tuesdays game at Easton between
Lafayette and the University of Pennsyl-
vania teams and was explained to the
writer by j. w. Dusenbury, of this city
Umpire Campbell, Of the National league
had been sent by President Young to UNI
pire the game Lafayette was at bat and
had three men on bases with none out
The man on third was put out at the
plate on force hit, the man on second
going to third, the batter passing the run
ner on first and reaching second. 1t was
not noticed that the man on second should
have been on first and vice versa. acre
was passed ball which allowed the run
ner on third to score and advanced to
third the man ON second. The runner at
first continued to hug the bag. A PENN
sylvania substitute who was sitting on
the bench noticed that the runner on
third should be following instead of ahead
Of the one at first and ran into the dia-
mond, where he held up the game, while
Umpire Campbell studied the batting or
der. Campbell decided that the two run
ners were out, thus retiring the side, and
that the run must not count.
The puzzle was propounded to Umpire
Gaffney In this city last night. He de-
clared that only the runner on third-and
who had passed the man at frst-should
be out and that the run sh1nld count.
The best solution OF the matter was by
ollie Reard. He said; "All Of them ought
TO have been arrested"
