MURDEROUSLY ASSAULTED
Heavy Bail Fixed for Three Men Charged
with Assault.

On Sunday night, last, Anthony Fast, of
South Catherine street, was murderously as
sauted by several men. He was beaten
about the head and body with backjacks
and has since been confined TO his bed
Yesterday his condition became SO serious
that Dr. p. F. Burke feared the result would
prove fatal. Warrants were sworn out and
last evening Policeman Hurley and Watch
man Martin O'Hara arrested Stiney Krap-
czyk, Walter Luckiewicz and Anthony
Krobateki, the alleged assailants. They
were arraigned before Justice Shoemaker
and demanded hearing. DIR. Burke said
the condition of the prosecutor had i'm
proved and that the man would probably be
able to appear and testify tonight. Upon
this Justice Shoemaker fixed bail in the sum
of 81 900 for each of the accused to appear to-
night. They treat the charge against them
lightly and say that they pulled the sssail-
ants from the victim, instead of asssulting
them. When questioned as to the identity
of the assailants the accused could give no
information.

Thomas r. Edwards this afternoon was in
receipt of a telegram from Harrisburg saying
that application was made to-day before the
Board of Pardons for the pardon of Michael
Flemming, of this town. After carefully
considering the case, the large peti.
tions and hundreds of letters in his
behalf, the Board decided that they
would grant the pardon upon the receipt of a
letter from Judge Koch recommending the
action. Mr.. Edwards has already secured
the letters desired from Judge Koch, and
the pardon of young Flemming may now be
expected any day. This will be welcome
news for the young mans many friends here
and those who have worked so zealously il
his behalf, prominent among them being Mr.

had to stoop over at first to push it
along, but as soon as it was heavy
enough it took up strip of nature 8
white carpeting with every revolution,
leaving exposed the brown grass of the
lawn underneath. Pretty soon the ball
was bigger than the boy. He stood look
ing at it for minute with the puzzled
expression I should imagine a man
might have who had stolen an elephant.
Then he set to work and rolled another
ball small enough to handle. This he
put On top of the first one and stood
back to survey the result with critical
air.
Evidently he was not satisfied. He
was also convinced that the job was too
big for him. He turned toward the house
and shouted: Paw Ho, paWI Come
out here. 3"
But paw" was not half through
with his after dinner cigar, and he re-
fused to come. The boy, however, was
not to be discouraged. He went into the
house and soon came out not only with
the reluctant paw but with Uncle
Bob. It was their evident intention to
"boss'' the job in dignifed inactivity.
But their kindIed enthusiasm got tho
better of their dignity, and a moment
later they were hard at work on the
construction Of a snow man. 1t was
plain that both were experienced hands,
though it is probable that neither had
had any practice for more than a score
of years.
They went about the work in a bust
nesslike manner too. For the legs they
rolled two hard packed cylinders of
snow and then hoisted the larger ball
on top of these. The head they pinned
securely to the shoulders with a sharp
ened stick, and the arms were fastened
to the trunk by a similar device. Next
the rough figure was shaped to a SEM
blance of human form with such crude
carving tools as came handy, and bat
tered plug hat was brought down from
the attic Then paw put in Jumps of
coal for the eyes and added pipe to
the corner of the snow man s mouth.
But it was a most imposing snow
man. During the night there was a gen.
tie rain, but there was a drop in tenn
perature before morning, and when I
looked out at the snow man before
breakfast I saw passersby gazing into
the adjoining yard with broad smiles on
their faces. The rain, it seems, had
weakened the legs of the snow man
enough to give him a wabbIy, intoxi-
Gated appearance, but before he had
fallen completely he had been frozen
hard and fast. So there he stood, like a
belated roisterer, a frigid, trapped and
horrible example, glistening and blink
ing in the morning sun.
Every boy has made his snow man,
and every grown up boy who sees it
smiles and recalls the time when he,

BRUSSELS MODELLING A BUST OF KING LEO
POLD IN SNOW.
giant who was rising through the earth
A monocle of painted tin was fastened
in one eye, and a huge cigar projected
from the corner of the mouth.
Many of the students seemed to have
q fondness for PierrOt and the mis-
ehievous clown was represented in all
sorts of poses. His outlines seemed to
lend themselves easily to clever repre-
sentation, and some of the young sculp-
tors even grouped his figure with that
of CoIumbine and made moderate sue
cess of the job, though in a few in
stances the curves of the latter lacked
something of grace.
Many of the artists make point of
modelling in snow the subjects which
they have already treated in clay and
exhibited at local exhibitions. Groups
representing Charity were numerous,
and one of these, representing a female
figure, under the ample folds of whose
cloak number of shivering children
had found refuge, won prize.
In the animal line dogs of various
breeds were most numerous, with lions
and elephants striving for second place
Other animals, even alligators, were
busts of famous men. Of these the
greatest number represented King Leo
pold, whose patriarchaI whiskers made
him an easy subject. Bismarck, Glad
stone, Emperor William and Napoleon
were also favorites. Then there were
many groups representing NEUROLOGICAL
subjects, such as Neptunes, Venuses,
Apollos, etc. Not all of these We're sue
cessful, for it is extremely difficult to
copy in snow what has been produced
by master hands in enduring marble, so
many of the groups were little more
than burlesques doubtless very disap-
pointing to the ambitious young scuIp-
tors. But there was much that was
really artistic in many of the figures,
and, on the whole, it was an instructive
and entertaining show.
Such an exhibition could easily be
arranged in any American city or large
town where there are a number of en-
terprising young artists, and it would
add not only to the limited number of
winter sports, but to the income of the
students, as well as increase the general
respect for art. In Brussels the gate re-
ceipts go toward paying the band and
other expenses, and this leaves a good
sized sum to be divided among the prize
winners. At any rate, here is a hint to
the American boy, Give your next snow
man neck and try possibly a new pose.

the last one saw, which was not many
days ago, was being constructed on the
good old plan.
Is it possible that the American boy
has no originality in his make up? Why
don t he make a snow man on more life
like lines or in some different attitude?
Why don't he try his hand at initiating
the form of some other biped or even
quadruped? Why not a snow woman or
a snow boy2 L confess never thought
CT departing from the old traditions
when was a boy, but 1 was only an
ordinary, everyday sort of boy, with
no faint of genius.
There is a place where snow modelling
is practiced as an art, a place where
not only snow men, but bewildering
number of figures, are made of snow by
real artists and are exhibited as objects
well worth seeing. They are inspected,
too, by whole big city full of people
who pay for the privilege.
This place is Brussels. The sculptors
in snow are the students in the Brussels
art schools. Once every winter, when
oil the weather conditions are just right,
the royal park, which is inclosed by a
high wall, is closed to the public and
even to the royal family Then the stu

student selects a site and begins to
gather his snow just as the American
boy does, by rolling a ball across the
grass.
Then for three days this open air
atelier is a busy place. Hundreds of
students, attended only by their in
structors, are hard at work, some on
single figures, some on ambitious groups.
When the images are completed, they
are sprinkled with water, and if there
should happen to be a cold snap they
are preserved for weeks. When all is
ready, the judges inspect the works and
make their awards. Then the gates are
opened, and the general public for an
admittance fee of about cents a head
is let in. Atnight the park is brilliantly
illuminated by electric lights and strings
of Japanese lanterns and afternoon and
evening a band plays national airs.
Every body goes. It is the thing. The
people seem to enjoy it hugely, too, and
walk up and down the lanes, laughing
heartily at the comical groups and ad-
miring the skill with which some young
artist has reproduced difficult subject
in yielding snow.
At the last exhibition a group labeled
''Three Jolly Boys made a big hit.
The figures were supported in their IN
stable positions by a rough mound of
snow in the background down which
they appeared to be staggering.
The park benches were utilized by
many scu1ptors. On one rested two polar
bears which were so 1ifelike as to be al
most startling when you came upon
them unexpectedly. On another bench
was a ragged tramp asleep with a park
guard standing over him in threaten
ing attitude. On still another was
peasant woman with dog at her feet.
In a corner of the park was a huge
head, with the neck resting on the
ground, just as if it were part of snow
