THE PENxsH1rAS1A 1SJUScrroxs
Sweeping in Their Character. but They Are
Disobeyed Practically.

Disobeyed Practically.
PITTsBuRG, Aug. Elm the last three years
three injunctions have been issued by the
courts against striking miners. Two Of
them are sweeping in character, and
even the third seems to tho average
mind comprehensive enough to prevent most of
the actions OF the participants in the present
strike. The best known injunction is the ono
secured by W. +. De Armitt, President OF the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company, three
years ago, against the national and district off,
GERS of the United Mine Workers and against
all other persona The Injunction Ia q per-
manent one, granted by a local Judge, who was
reversed by the Superior Court but sustained
by the Supreme Court.
The injunction forbids the strikers to intimi-
date the company's employees by threats,
to commit violence, to assemble in large
numbers on the public roads or on pri.
vate property. and TO trespass at all on
were enforced the strikers camps would be
abolished, and their marchinRs UP and down the
public roads would have to cease. Even meet
De Armitt mines might be declared as contrary
to the letter Of the injunction. An enormous
power Is placed in the hands OF the Sheriff.
A few weeks ago a similar injunction was
granted to the coal operators at Bunola. and
granted an Injunction, not so severe in its re-
strictiOns. however. as the two In this county,
as the w ashington county Judge refused TO re-
strain the strikers from camping peaceably on
private property.
As TO tho effects Of the injunction, it may be
said that at the De Armitt mines the strikers
have three camps; they march up and down tho
public roads at all hours OF the day and night;
they hold meetings. At Bunola the strikers have
leased q piece OF ground. have established
a camp and they follow the same practices OBJ
served by the strikers at DE Armitt's mines. At
McGoyern. i'll Washington county, the %injunc-
ton is being obeyed now. several Of the strikers
having been held in $500 bail to answer a charge
Of contempt OF court.
A lot OF strikers were at the Post Office at
Negley. in the De Armitt territory. inquiring
for their mail. A wagon load OF deputies drove
ordered away from the Post Office. They left
quietly. but the farmers who had gathered
about hooted and jeered the deputies.

PANIC IN 4 TROLLEY Oar.

Ing HIt-One Hurt In the Panic.

Car 80 OF the Nassau trolley line. with I25
passengers. most OF them being women and
children, bowled along Neptune avenue and
turned into West Eighth street at $40 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. and Kept UP its high rate
of speed until 1t got within nifty feet OF the cross
ing OF the Eorton's Point branch OF the Long
Island Railroad. Then the passengers and mo.
torman heard the shrill whistle OF an approach.
ing train. The Nassau tracks cross those OF the
Long Island Railroad about a block from Surf
avenue. and a iagman is stationed there TO
warn people OF approaching trains. but the flag.
man yesterday either failed 10 see the approach
ing trolley car or the motorman failed to see the
fiagman.
As soon as the motorman realized the danger
he shut off the current and jammed down the
brakes. He managed to bring the car 10 a
standstill within about live feet Of the railroad
crossing. but not in time to avoid a panic. As
the train approached a second later the pas
sengers made wild efforts to escape from the
car. and hats and dresses were torn in the con
fusion that followed. Several were hurt in
jumping from the ear, and Della Robinson. -
years old, OF $40 keap street, Brooklyn. had her
left leg broken. She was attended by Surgeon
Gillen and removed TO the Norwegian Hospital.
The other passengers, after having their wounds
dressed, continued on their journey.

RI GEESE.
GuttenburE's Town Council RaIlIes TO the De-
fence or Its Village.

The difference between Guttenburg and Rome
IS that. while geese saved the ancient city. they
are in a fair way to ruin the modern one. There
are other differences, too, but this is the one mos.
In evidence just at present. For the geese have
waxed SO numerous and bold in Guttenburg OF
late that they take possession OF the sidewalks
and hiss the inhabitants off into the middle of
the street.
The Town Council took up the matter yester-
day, II being called to their attention by Com.
mitteeman Gordon, who in a spirited speech
declared that unless something were done to
keep the birds within bounds the human bipeis
would be driven out OF the place. He even
accused tho geese OF having purposely damned
up the sewer 10 make swimming pools for
themselves, and said that they committed
all sorts OF depredations, causing horses
to become unmanagcable, and even trolley
cars to run away. Moreover, he said.
they were multiplying faster than the multipli-
cation table. Chairman Walker said that there
was an ordinance empowering the pound keeper
10 collect eight cents for each goose caught tres
passing on the public streets. The council finally
decided to L. su "a proclamation warning ali resi-.
dents to keCp their geese locked up.

ninth streets, have got tired OF the paving
stones and excavated earth heaped up along
their sidewalk. The trench from which the
earth was taken hae remained open for two
months. Just at present the feeling OF the Fifth
avenue storekeepers is expressed in printed
signs stuck up on top of the long mound. The
stones and earth have been there so long that
struggling spears OF grass have made their APP
pearance along the surface. These seem to have
tickled the wits Of some of the clerks in the
jewelry store Of Black, Starr s. Frost, on the
Twenty-eighth street corner. Two of these
young men planted in the earthworks early yes
terday morning a neatly lettered board sign:
Keep on the grass.
Within a few hours the bank bristled with
signs. Some were OF boards. some of tin. and
some of paper. Here are what II few OF them

OF IL Was Being Taken.
For some time Miss Sarah Douglass of Fourth
avenue. Brooklyn, has suffered from enlarge
ment OF the bones in the joints OF her right arm.
At last she determined to have an operation per.
formed. and DIR. J. C. Shaw OF Henry street and
DIR. W. II. Haynes OF cambridge street were
consulted. After an examination DR.. Haynes
suggested that an X-ray picture OF the arm
should be made.
DR.. Shaw agreed. and Prof. Peckham of the
Adelphi College. who has experimental with
Y rays, was engaged to make the picture. At
the request of the young woman her arm was
not barred. but the picture, which was pro-
nounced a success. was taken through her
sleeve, which was Of ordinary texture. This
was ten weeks ago. The exposure lasted thirty
minutes. Miss Douglass did not suffer any in
convenience for some time, but gradually the
flesh OF the arm began to turn dark. At the same
time Miss Douglass suffered excruciating pain.
DIR. Haynes said last night that he had given
Miss Douglass medicine that had relieved her
pain, and he hoped that she would recover from
the burns in q few days.

Miss Dorothy Dodworth suGerinE. from Hood
Poisoning,

Poisoning.
Miss Dorothy Dodworth, the ls-year-old
daughter of Oliver Dodwort music publisher
at los East l25th street, is dangerously ill at
the residence Of Mrs. NJ. Z. Lyon. at Clairmount
to have been caused by the bite OF a mosquito.
Miss odworth went to Elmhurst TO visit
Mrs. Lyon three weeks ago. For two weeks the
inmates OF Clairmount Terrace were practically
confined TO the house by the rain. A week ago
yesterday they enjoyed the first clear day. and
spent most OF il in the open air. In the early
evening. while Miss Doiworth was reclining in
a hammock on the lawn. n mosquito stung her
on the right leg. just below the knee. The bite
annoyed her exceedingly. and by midnight she
was in considerable pain. She spent the re-
mainder Of the night applying various simple
lotions. The leg swcllcI 10 nearly double its
natural size. and morning found the young wo-
man critically i'll.
DR.. J. FarweIl of NcwtOwn, l.. l.. was sum-
moned, but the swelling increased despite his
treatment, and crysipelas and pronounced blood
poisoning cnsued. Opiatcs had 10 be
used freely to quiet tho patient, who was in
constant pain. On Tuesday two other physi-
clans were called in consultation. and the lancet
was resorted to. The patient is not yet consid-
cred out of danger. although the doctors now
that the sting Of a mosquito is the immediate
cause OF the trouble. but think also that blood
poisoning was caused by the patient being in
oculated by some noxious substance on which
the insect had been feeding.
