on payment IL fee of twenty-five
cents for both privileges. There Is just
about room enough for wagon to
stand lengthwise between the building
and the sidewalk and horses and
wagon tongue would have to be re-
moved as soon as the wagon was
placed in position.
Another suggestion of the firm was
to allow the wagons to stand in Dock
ash place, and still a third, which
seemed to strike the street commits
sioner more favorably than any of the
others, was to utilize the interior of the
building for the wagons. The building
is about seventy feet deep and is wide
enough FOR two rows of wagons with
q passageway between.
AS Mifiin avenue will probably have
to be abandoned as a market place
on account of the protests of property
owners, Street Commissioner Dunning
will tomorrow morning confer with the
hucksters and get their views about
the West Lackawanna avenue site.

YESTERDAY MORNINGS FIRE.
Chief Hickey Believes That Tramps
Are Responsible !Or II.


1t is the opinion Of Chief Hickey, of
the ire department, that the fire early
yesterday morning, at the coke cleaner
of the LackaWanna Iron and Steel COM
pany. was caused by tramps. There
was no fire in the building and so far
as is known no means by which the
fire could have started. 1t is known
that tramDs were very partial to the
place, which lends plausability to the
theory that tramps are responsible for
the blaze. The loss amounted to about
81, 900.
Some difficulty was experienced in
lighting the fire, on account of the
difficulty the firemen experienced in
getting their apparatus near it and
from an insufficient pressure Of water.
The hydrants are supplied from a
three-inCh main, the chief says, and in
the event Of a fire in any of the big
shops near the coke cleaner it would
be difficult to oppose the progress Of
the flames.
Yesterday mornings fire was the
first one in the central city since the
new system of sending out alarms went
into effect. Although the alarm was
by ringing the court house bell only.
tWenty-four firemen were quickly on
the scene.

JAMES HANLEY INJURED.
Run Over by Nav Aug Hose Carriage
Early Yesterday Morning.

The Nay Aug hose carriage with five
men aboard weighing in total about
2,2OO pounds-ran over a young man,
James Hanley, of Moosic Street, South
Side, under the South Washington Ave-
nuc over head bridge of the Delaware
Lackawanna and Western company, at
$50 o'clock yesterday morning as the
Garage was returning from the fire
at the coke cleaner of the LackaWanna
Iron and Steel company.
Hanley is now at the LackaWanna
hospital and it was given out last
night that the injured yOungman is
in a dangerous condition, as his in
juries are internal
a few minutes before the Nay Aug
wagon passed under the bridge the
Nay Aug's steamer had passed and
in the interim Hanley came along and
fell to the middle of the road. He must
have been fast asleep when the wagon
came along at a fair rate of speed.
A sudden jounce almost threw some of
Them from the wagon. The road at
this point is shaded by the bridge
and nothing could be seen in the road.
Permanent man Henry Brown contend
ed that it was a mans body, and when
the hose wagon reached Lackawanna
Avenue Brown went back to inVesti-
gate He found Hanley laying in the
road and groaning. a line of dirt over
thu middle of his body showed where
the wheels had crossed. He was car
ried to the sidewalk and allowed to
rest on a blanket.
Chief Hickey who followed the Nay
Aug wagon in his buggy sent for the
Lackawanna hospital ambulance. A
snort time afterward Hanley was re-
moved to the hospital. DR.. Newbury's S
examination of the injured man show
ed that he was seriously hurt.

Alarm System.

Henry Belin, jr, of the Third Ma
tiOnal bank; +. l.. Phillips, of the
Traders National bank, and Charles
Du Pont Breck, of the Dime bank, rep
resenting all the banks of the city,
waited upon Mayor Bailey yesterday

that will instantly sound an alarm in
the central police station if any of the
windows, doors or vaults of the city
banks are tampersd with after bank
Ing hours
The bankers will also employ a police

! BEFORE BREAKFAST. 5

A man, whose carriage wheel went
into one Of the unexpected holes in the
Washington avenue pave yesterday
morning, thus diverting its course and
saving itself and occupant from being
smashed by an electric car, edited and
delighted a throng of spectators who
had been certain of a catastrophe.
After his horse stopped and the car
had also halted, he climbed over the
wheel, minutely surveyed his Quilt,
said a few things in a deep, emphatic
tone and then solemnly and impress
siVely shook hands with himself in the
most self-cOngratulatory manner i'm
aginable.

his mercantile business in Newark

LOADED WITH GOLD.
1t Is Used to Supplant Bone Tissue Upon
a Hospital Patient.

1t L. Used to Supplant Bone Tissue Upon
a Hospital Patient.
William Carnahan, patient at the
Allegheny General hospital, is attract
ing the close attention of the local
medical profession because Of a wonder
full operation he has just passed through.
The operation consisted of placing a
layer of gold between the membranes
covering his brain. 1t is intended to
supplant large section Of bone that
was trephined away in the hope Of cur
ing him of epileptic fits. He is on fair
way to recover from both the operation
and fits.
Carnahan is railroad employee and
lives at Allegheny. Shortly over year
ago Carnahan was badly injured in a
railroad accident His skull was frac-
tured and his life despaired of. The
splintered bones were removed, and he
apparently recovered. Shortly after this
he began to take epileptic Ats. Every
known remedy was tried to cure him of
them. He was patient at the West
Penn hospital, but got no relief. He
went east and was under the care of the
leading physicians and surgeons there,
with no better results
Some months ago he was admiSed to
the Allegheny General hospital. Drs.
r. j.. McGrew and G. II. Voight oper-
ated upon him. His skull was trephined
again. The epileptio attacks ceased for
time after this, but only for short
while. 1t appeared to she physicians
that the absence of such u large quanti-
~ Of bono exerted an influence that had
bad effect upon the brain. There was
also considerable difficulty in healing
the wound properly, due to the fact
that the membranes, the durs mater and
pia mater, adhered together.
Drs. Voight and McGrew decided
upon novel method to cure this. Car
nahan was taken to the operating room.
An incision was made into the brain
and the outer membrane lifted mp. This
part Of the operation was extremely deli
cate. A heavy layer of gold was then
placed over the dura mater. 1t was laid
in sections with the finest Of gold leaf.
The outer membrane was then placed
over and the ends where the incision
was made stitched together This was
followed by closing the outer wound.
The operation was q trying one to the
patient. IL required several hours 10
complete il. Carnahan is now able to
sit mp. He has not had an attack Of the
fits since and apparently does not expe-
rience any Ill effects from the load OF
valuable metal upon his thinking or.
