struck With a stone by One OF His
Companions.

Shortly after dinner hour yesterday,
Clifford Cockrell, of Elm street, South
Side, was spinning a top near his home
when Fred. Rosar, a companion, ac-
cssted him and took his hat from his
Mead.
Cockrel angrily commanded Rosar
to replace the hat or he would thrash
him. and as he spoke he moved towards
Rosar, who took a goodsized stone
and threw it forcibly, hitting Cockrell
directly on the left eye.
The blow caused Cockrell's eye to
drop from it's socket and it hung mere
ly by a shred. Blood flowed profusely
from the wound.
Cockrell staggered to his home and
DR.. Reeser was hastily summoned and
attended to the injury. To a Tribune
reporter the doctor stated that the
sight of the eye is lost, and very prob
ably it will have to be removed, after
a few days.

FAILURE WILL BE FELT.
Guarantors Finance Company Did
Considerable Business Here.

The failure of the Guarantors' FL
nance company, of Philadelphia, will
be felt i'm this city, where the company
has a number of policy holders.
number of elevators, boilers and ma
chnery of various kinds owned by local
individuals or companies were insured
with the company. They also did
small amount of personal accident
business here.
Until about a year and a half ago
the company had an arrangement with
the Scranton Traction company by
which it accepted certain percentage
of the gross earnings of the company
and in return agreed to be liable for
any judgments obtained by persons in
jured on the lines of the company In
the neighborhood of forty cases guar
anteed by the embarrassed company
are now pending in this county. Eleven
are on the list for trial at the term Of
common pleas court beginning next
Monday. In a half-dozen cases ver-
diets have been recovered and rules for
new trials or appeals to the Supreme
court are now pending. Those who
brought the suits will not suffer, as
the actions are directed against the
Traction company.
A somewhat different condition of af-
fairs exists at Carbondale. The Guar
antors' company insured the Lacka-
wanna Valley Rapid Transit company
in the same manner that it did the
Scranton Traction company. Two ver-
diets were obtained against it in the
local courts. One by Richard Delevan
and wife for 50 $500 was fought through
all the courts and is now ready for
collection. Miss Lizzie Gilmartin re-
ceived verdict of $500, but the case
has been appealed to the Supreme
court. AS the Lackawanna Rapid
Transit company has passed out of eX-
istence, and the Guarantors' company
has made an assignment, it may be a
difficult matter to collect anything on
these judgments.

PROTEST WAS MADE.

Adverse comments have frequently
been heard at the company's Office on
the practice of the Jail authorities OF
forcing upon the public, and particu-
larly ladies', the unwelcOme company
of criminals, vermin-covered, possibly,
but at all events unfit persons TO
make the general public Commingle
with, even if it is only for a short
time.
out of Justice to the local Jail Offic-
ials. it should be said that they were
always considerate to the extent that
when there were more than two or
three prisoners to be transported the
BLACK Maria" was brought into use.
This brought complaints. but it was
this week when the United States au-
thorities commenced using the street
cars for conveying whole carload Of
prisoners at time that the real Wig
orous kicking ensued
A. F. Law went to the company
headquarters and in the name Of all
the patrons of the Green Ridge and
Dunmore Suburban lines, protested
against having the companionship of
murderers, robbers. counterfeiters and
all the worst classes of criminals in
the country forced upon self-respect-
ing people. General Manager Silli-
man expressed regret that such a
thing should have existed thus long
and was surprised that the privilege
had been SO flagrantly abused by the
authorities He gave assurance that
the nuisance would be abated and
forthwith made the stringent and
sweeping order printed above.
PRIVATE ORDER ISSUED.
For fear the government authorities
should resist the carrying out of the
order, a private order was given the
conductors on the lines running to the
county Jail to stop their cars and keer
them standing until such time as the
marshal and his men should get tired
Of waiting and leave the car of their
own accord.
one of Marshal Leonard's men,
Bailiff Louis CARRIER, with six prison
ers in charge of deputies, attempted
to use a car to come down from the
county jail to United States court yes.

to the car and had to borrow the city's

Warden W. 4. Simpson attempted tC
take a prisoner down to the court
house on a car during the afternoon
but the conductor would not let them
aboard.
