pitai for treatment.
At the hour of going to press he was
raving madly in his cell. His catch
words are "whoal" "Git up" Corbett
used to drive a beer wagon. The half
crazed man has not eaten a bit OF food
since his Incarceration. He has visibly
wasted away In strength.
Corbett was arrested some weeks ago
in company with James Murray for
drunkenness. Murray is the man who,
at the time, gave the police so much
trouble. He, 1t will be remembered,
viciously attacked Patrolman Sartor,
and the latter was forced to use his
club so vigorously that Murray was
taken to the Lackawanna hospital to
have his wounds dressed. While maxi
ing the return trip to the police sta
ton Murray made an unsuccessful at
tempt to escape from Patrolmen George
Jones and Bloch. He was fined $40 in
police court the next day.
Yesterday Murray called at police
headquarters to see his friend, Corbett
He wore a skull cap to cover the
wounds on his head.

ticou Mt the ". M. &, A.

Rev. j. J. Lewis, OF Chicago, will APP
pear in his great lecture on the Pas
sion Play of Oberammergau," tomor-
row at the Young Mems Christian as
sociation. This lecture is the fourth
number of the Standard Course, Pa
irons should make a special effort to
hear this intensely interesting lecture,
on a subject admittedly wonderful,
universal, and which has an unparal-
leled influence on moral and national
life.
The dissolving stereopticon views
used as Illustrations enable one to
understand more clearly the different
acts, as they are supposed to have oc-
Cured in the wonderful drama of the
Crucifxion of Jesus Christ. A COM
ment made by noted Boston clergy
man, Rev. DR.. Bowers, shows what
may be expected of the lecture. He
says: THE Passion Play has none of
the accessories of a theatrical per-
formance. 1t is simply q marvellous

WEDEMAN STILL WORKING
Van Horns Counsel Striving Hard TO
Save His Neck.

l.. p. Wedeman, one of the counsel
for George Van Horn, yesterday Sc
cured permission from Judge Arch
bald to take and present deposltions of
newly discovered witnesses for the de-
fense.
One of the witnesses Is a fireman
who was employed at the Nay Aug
engine house, and who, it is claimed,
talked with Van Horn in the engine
house shortly before the latter went
over to the Wescott cellar on the eve-
ming of the killing.
1t is proposed to show by this wit
ness that Van Horn did not sneak
over to the Wescott house, but openly
admitted his purpose was to go there
to meet Mrs. Wescott, which, it is
claimed, is not the likely act of one
contemplating murder.
BY another witness, Frank Sweeney,
a halter, who knew Van Horn well,
it is intended to prove that Van Horn
was working in cellar at the corner
of Linden street and Oakford court
on the day of the killing; that a wo-
man answering Mrs. Wescott's descrip-
tion brought him lunch at noon, and
that along towards evening this same
woman came to the cellar and spent
some time talking to Van Horn.
Another witness, Thomas Howley,
employed at the rolling mill, will, il
is claimed, corroborate Sweeney's tes-
timony.
These witnesses We're known of at
the time of the trial, but Van Horn
it is claimed, could not remember their
names,

SERIOUS RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
Father and Son Hurt--The Former
Taken to the Hospital.

AS the result of an exciting runaway
experience, William Jones, of 1887 San
derson avenue, is lying at the Lacka-
wanna hospital suffering from a dis
located shoulder, scalp wounds and
bad contusions. His young son, who
was with him at the time, was also
severely shaken UP and bruised.
Neither of the injured persons are in
danger
The horse took fright and started to
run away on Linden street, near the
bridge, shortly before noon yesterday.
The elder Jones, who was driving, lost
the reins in some manner and the ami
NAL, feeling no restraint, dashed madly
up Linden street. At the corner of
Penn avenue the horse veered suddenly
into the curb and the vehicle to which
he was attached collided with tele-
graph pole.
The shock shattered the buggy and
hurled Mr.. Jones and his son to the
ground. The horse, freed from the
buggy, dashed on up Linden street, but
was captured on Washington avenue.
Mr.. Jones was taken to the Lacka-
wanna hospital and his son went to his
home.

Unsuccessful Candidates ut the Re-

were sworn Out.-Accused Men Eu-
ter Bail.

Six Olyphant men, members of the
vigilance committees which conducted
or "was"--the recent Democratic
primaries in that borough, were ar
rested yesterday on a general charge
of fraud. The prosecutors were ex-
Representative LOTUS, who was an
unsuccessful candidate for the nominal
ton for Justice OF the peace, and p. f.

Gilman in the First ward
These men, under oath, allege that
James Casey, p. j. Farrell, Thomas
ley and Michael Hastings, members of
the vigilance committee, did several
unlawful deeds in their conduct of the
primaries. In the information sworn
out yesterday before Alderman John
II. Howe, of this city, Lotus and
Dempsey refer to dividing up Of the
ward, the work of the committeeman,
which, they allege, was unlawful.
other charges are false returns"
destroying ballots" false count of
voters" and a general conspiracy to
defraud.
The story of the prosecutors is that
after taking in the ballots the vigi-
lance committees threw them out of
the window and otherwise playfully
abused their solemn trust. LOTUS got
seventeen votes in the ward, while his
opponent, Martin Cannon, was given
something like 140 on the tally sheets.
For purposes of evidence LOTUS,
after the primaries, went about the
ward and, he says, counted over fifty
persons who are willing to swear that
they used Lotus ballot and no other.
Dempsey, the councilmanic candidate
received twenty-five votes on the
sheets. He thinks he ought to have
had more.
The warrants were served yesterday
each defendant appearing before JUS
tice of the Peace Cummings, of Oily

NEW DESK SERGEANT.
One May BE Required for the Center
Street station.

A permanent desk sergeant will be
located at the remodelled police station
in Centre street, when the place is re-
opened Feb. for the reception of pris-
oners. 1t is known that the police au-
thorities favor the idea. The only OBJ
stacle is the appropriation from coun-
ellis requisite to the employment of a
patrolman to take the place of the
patrolman, who, it is said, will be pro-
NOTED to the new position.
Chief of Police Robling to Tribune

An Attempt Made to Postpone 1t
Until the Next Term.

p. A. O'Boyle, attorney for James
Griner, yesterday made a motion to
have the case continued until next term
of court. Mr.. O'Boyle gave as a reason
that on account of the illness of a
relative he was called to New York,
also that Griner has under considera-
tion the matter of employing additional
counsel.
Griner's is the first CSse on the list
for criminal court, which begins Mon

Glasco was assisted by Conductor J.

But for prompt surgical attention it

ACT OF HER0ISM BY
A MINE ENGINEER
Threatened by Fire and Dynamite He
Sticks TO His Post.
HE RIsKeD HIS LIFE FOR OTHERS
Ina Burning Head ii ouse Contains
ing Dynamite and Exploding Full.
minating Caps, Engineer Williams
Hoisted Twelve Men Up the New
Cox Shaft OF the Newton Coat
Company, at Pittston - Flam es
Were FINALLY Quenched bv the
Pittston Fire Department..

one of the most heroic rescues in
the recent mining history of this re-
gion was performed yesterday by
Thomas Williams, the hosting engineer
at the head house OF the Newton Coal
companys new Cox shaft at Pittston.
With the head house aflame and con-
tanning a large quantity of dynamite,
Williams stuck TO his post and hoisted
up the shaft twelve men who We're
threatened with the annihilation or
suffocation that might have followed If
the dynamite had exploded, or If the
flames had spread to the shaft.
The head house is divided into three
apartments, one of which at the rear
contained several boxes of dynamite
and a large quantity OF Illuminating
caps. The fire in the head house was
discovered about s o'clock, and city
alarm quickly sounded. Access to the
part of the structure containing the
dynamite was cut off by the flames
which quickly spread to nearby build
ings
Engineer Williams signalled to the
men working near the foot of the shaft
to come to the surface. There were
twelve of them. Williams did not re-
veal the fate that possibly awaited
them on their passage up the shaft on
the carriage or on their arrival at the
surface by an explosion of dynamite
sufficient in quantity to wreck every
| thing in it's vicinity.
CAPS WERE EXPLODING.
The signal came that the men were
| ready. Meanwhile the Illuminating
L, ,,I.
| leading to that part of the structure
| in which the flames were raging, had
begun to explode. Williams alone knew
of this fact. He knew, also, that If a
concussion from the caps or a spark
from the fire reached the dynamite
he would be blown to atoms, along with
the hosting machinery, and which
would mean certain death to the mer
if the carriage was in transit.
| With grim death at his shoulder
| Williams staid by the machinery. Prob
ably the carriage never made such q
fast trip to the surface and never be.
fore did the engineer live a lifetime ir
a few minutes. However, the carriage
finally appeared at the opening, which
by this time, was a mass of flame anC
smoke, and the rescued men and en-.
gineer were able to seek places Of
safety.
The Pittston fire department had re
sponded quickly to the alarm and cam,
to the aid of the mine employees, whC
had been trying to quench the flame!
with the insufficient means at theil
command. The fire in the head hous,
was quenched and the adjoining struc
lures saved, but not until after tn,
blaze in the former had communicated
almost to the boxes in which the dyna
mite was stored.
The total loss of $500 is covered b.
insurance.

The total is s4.150 in excess Of the
amount appropriated last year, SO,
for this purpose. The sum of $4,000
asked for tiling and improvements is
meant to cover renovations which have
for several years been needed about
the city hall. The corridors in their
present state are a disgrace to a build
ing so splendidly appointed in other
particulars, but it is extremely doubt
full if the estimates committee will be
able to provide for the improvements.
