CAR LEFT THE TRACK.
Four Persons Were Injured by the
Accident.

A trolley car on the Taylor line
jumped the track yesterday afternoon
about 4 o'clock and three persons were
injured. All were women. The condi-
ton Of one is quite serious.
The car, No, 16. outward bound, was
in charge of Motorman John Poder-
burg and Conductor William Fuller.
1t was an open car and carried a dozen
or more passengers. While descending
the hill near the Leidinger farm about
a half mile from the city line the car
left the track and nearly all the pas
sengers were thrown violently from
their seats.
Those injured were Mrs. David Pow
ell, of Taylor; Mrs Hall. of Old Forge,
and a Mrs. Allen. The former was the
most seriously hurt. She is nearly 70
years of age and was badly bruised
about the body and arms and was cut
on the head. Mrs. Halls body was
bruised, and Mrs. Allen was hurt in
the groin. The company sent them to
their homes in carriages procured from,
Taylor and directed DR.. j. w. Houser,
of that place, to attend them.
The car was not going at an unusual
rate of speed. Nothing wrong could
be discovered about the car or the
rails. The car was replaced on the
track by a wreck car sent from Scran-
ton. Traffic on the line was delayed
but short time.

nue., earlv last evening and went in.
When he came out there was no horse
to be seen. The police were notified and
two fellows, who were in the saloon
when Davis went in, were suspected.
1t was thought that the two had driven
up North Main avenue toward Provi-
dence.
Lieutenant Spellman was notified
and while on the lookout was informed
that an outfit answering the descrlp-
tion could be found down the road be-
low Bulls Head. The horse had been
driven over an embankment and the
outfit wrecked. The animal was badly
injured. The lieutenant, accompanied
by Patrolman Perry, took the hose in
charge.
Two fellows who were hanging
around the scene of the accident were
arrested and taken to the North End
police station. They were searched and
four new revolvers, several knives and
razors and a miscellany OF other stuff
were found on them. They. could not
satisfactorily explain how they came
to be burdened with the collection, but
discaimed all knowledge Of the horse
theft. They will be given a hearing
before Mayer Bailey this morning.
Warrants were issued for the two
bold horse thieves, before Alderman
Roberts. They are supposed to reside
near the High Works.

Quite Speedy.

The Lake Shore and Michigan South
ern railway still maintains the very
enviable record which it has made for
itself in every way and the service is
always the best. Its cars are the most
luxurious extant, its attendants courte-
Gus and for fast time it can't be ap-
preached by any road running from
Buffalo to Cleveland, Toledo, Chicago
Cincinnati, st. Louis and intermediate
points; at the same time safety is not
sacrificed for speed, every safeguard
being provided. This is why the Lake
Shore never has any serious disasters.

house that morning. He told her San
toro had been killed by somebody.
That made her cry still more, and she
would not answer any questions after
that.
They went then to the gang with
which Pascere was employed digging
trenches, and were informed that he
was not at work at all that day. An
italian man on the gang told them he
saw Pascere with an AK in the morn
ing, and saw him put it under his coat.
The AK was about the size of n toma-
hawk. This man told them he saw
Pascere and Santoro together not long
after that.
Other parties started out in the af-
ternoon to discover the murderer and
they secured evidence that seems to
point to Pascere's guilt A search of
his house. and at every place he would
ordinarily be showed that he had TAX
en- his departure. The white coat
seen by the boys fitted the description
of the one he wore, and also the hat.
1t was generally understood among
the friends of Pascere and Sanford
that the former was fiercely Jealous
Santoro and Mrs Pascere came from a
small town called Reonoro in Italy.
Her brother lives in Old Frye. The
three of them were all in this part
of the state who came from that place,
and consequently were on very friend
ly terms. Sanford lived next door to
her folks in Italy. He offered that as
an explanation of his frequent visits
to her home. She used to come over
| to see her brother quite often and that
brought Sanford into her company so
much oftener.
REPUTATION GOOD.
Whether Pascere had any ground for
| his suspicious or not, Santoro had the
| reputation of being a man of good
| character and law abiding qualities.
| He was of a sociable and entertaining
| disposition, and was much in demand
| at dances and fetes among the Ital-
| ians. Still it was no secret that his
| friendship for Mrs. Pascere augered
her husband to high pitch.
Santoro, it was learned. went to the
| Spring Brook and had his bath. lie
| then went to Pasceres house. Pascere
was not at work. Sanford was receiv-
ed in an apparently friendly manner.
| He stayed an hour or so. Somewhere
| about 9 o'clock he left for home. Pas.
| cere said he had business over to Old
| Forge and they walked along together.
| The distance from his home to the
| spot where he welded the ak is nearly
| three miles of walk.
| Pascere is of medium build, weighs
| $50 pounds, has a broad face, small
nose. dark moustache and small eyes.

he was severely burned when he was
a child. He is about 35 years old.

United States Marshal John X.
Thompson tells good story anent
The present war excitement. The
marshal lives in Whitfield, the county
seat OF Putnam county, In the south
ern part of the state. On recent
visit to his home he was impressc
with the ..jungoa attitude OF the
young men of the town, nearly every
one of whom was Thirsty for Spanish
gore. aud asserted the intention OF
enlisting at their first pportunity
Captain Thompson was brave Con
federate soldier during the late war,
and bic pacific attitude was consider
ed quite remarkable by the young men
OF Winfield.
But they changed their tune two
days later.
Having made the arrangement
with a friend In Winfield, the mar
shall hied himself to Huntington on
government business, and while in
the Second City wrote a letter to his
Winfield friend, telling him that he
had just received an appointment
from Governor Atkinson to the com
mand of a regiment he was authorized
to raise. The Winfield friend was
delegated to raise company in that
town, and forthwith proceeded to
call upon the 'sfire-eaters'i of day
or two previous. Now comes the
truly remarkable phase Of the story.
Out of thirty or forty men who were
so warlike few hours before, only
two were willing to enlist-and one
of these was union pensioner whose
disabilities made him inelig IDLE to
serve. War talk suddenly has DE-
come extinct in Winfield and white
winged peace reigns on the Kanawha.

Some Plain Facts.

Grave errors, injustice, wrongs of
greater or less degree, arise from lack
of knowledge of the truth, and more
frequently from deception.
The most infamous case on record
Of deception and injustice is the at
tempt to demonetize silver as a money
of final redemption in the United
States.
There is no learned judge, skilled
lawyer, or court of justice that is
capable of reconciling the effort with
the constitutional laws. that govern
the issue of money in this country.
The people have been deceived,
officials in power, chosen to admins
ter justice under the laws, have
ignored their sworn duty, ard given
aid to the scheme that has paralyzed
industry, reduced property values
one-half, and beggared millions.
There is no authority of law, either
specific or by inference, by which
gold alone is made the only money
with which to discharge debts, either
public or private. The effort to
make it so is unconstitutional and a
national calamity.
Plain and ample information, facts
and truth, concerning this almost sue
cessful scheme to corner the wealth
Of the people, is now being printed
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, news
paper which the combined power of
money has failed to muzzle or buy.
