AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.
Team of the Scranton Railway Com
pany Had the Star Part.

The repair crew of the Scranton
Traction company had an exciting time
yesterday morning in a runaway. Pat
rick Reilly, William Gilleran and
Richard Evers were on the platform
Of the high extension repair wagon,
working on wires at the intersection
of Adams avenue and Linden street,
when suddenly the horses became
frightened and dashed down Linden
street.
The three men on top, in moment
realized their dangerous positions, AMI
without any unnecessary delay got to
a place of safety. The ladder they
reached the platform on had fallen. anG
the men were obliged to jump to the
box of the wagon, and then to the
pavement. They escaped from injury.
The maddened team continued it's
race to Wyoming avenue and then
turned towards Lackawanna avenue.
At the Hotel Jermyn Common Coun-
Gilman Edward Coleman spranE to the
bride, but was unable to control the
team. A few feet below the runaway
collided with Il horse and carriage be-
longing to Edward Walsh. His horse
was thrown and upon regaining its feet
dashed into the doorway of the Postal
Telegraph office.
The runaway came to a halt at the
Coal Exchange building. While the
affair was attended with many eXcit-
ing features, but little damage was
done.

CHARGED WITH LARCENY.
Frank Walters Arrested in This City,
Was Sent to Jail.

Frank Walters, alias KOterha, was
arrested i'm this city Tuesday on war
rant sworn out before Mayor Nichols,
of Wilkes Barre, by Mrs. Margaret
Walters, of that city charging him
with larceny. Sergeant Jones came
here and brought the prisoner down.
He was placed in the lookup over night
and yesterday morning was given a
hearing.
Walters is charged with the larceny
of a silver watch valued at S24, pair
of pantaloons valued at $3.50. and a
pair of shoes valued at $3.50, the prop
erty of Mrs. Walters son, Thomas.
1t appears the prisoner, whose real
name is Koterba, but who goes by the
name of Walters, was taken in by the
Walters family while in destitute cir
cumstances, and repaid their hospital
ity by walking away with the goods
above mentioned. After hearing the
testimony the mayor held defendant in
$500 bail for his appearance at court.
As soon as this case was disposed Of
the prisoner was arraigned on another
charge of larceny preferred by Daniel
Walters, another son of Mrs. Walters,
in which he was charged with the lar
ceny of a soldiers coat valued at $40,
a cap valued at $3.50, and belt valued
at 81. He was also required to give
bail in the sum of $500 in this case, not
being able to do so he was committed
to- iail

WEST PARK LOTS.
A Most Wonderful Sale of Desirable
Building Lots.

The remarkable activity of the real
estate market in North Main avenue
and other West Park lots since they
were placed on the market only a
couple weeks ago is the subject of dis
cussion in the city generally. But
more particularly is this the case
among conservative real estate men,
many of whom had formed the opinion
that the days when quick sales could
be made upon the opening of a tract
of land in Scranton had passed by.
Such theories have vanished into thin
air by the most practical demonstration
Of their error.
Since the opening of West Park the
offices of G.. Il. Reynolds in the Con-
nell building and Of Charles Schlager.
in the Traders Bank building, who are
part proprietors and principal sales
men Of the land, have been pretty we'll
thronged with inquirers who mean
business and large number of sales
have resulted thercfrom.
We have not space in this article to
tell the merits of West Park, but take
pleasure in referring all persons whose
interest has been aroused by the West
Park land plot to call for further par
ticulars upon Charles Schlager at the
Traders Eank building or G. f. Rey-
nolds at the Connell building. -

WALKER KEEPS HUSTLlNG
Fire Department Committee Heard
Some New Suggestions at Its
Meeting Last Night.

At the request of Chief Walker, the
Joint fire department committee met
last night to pass upon a number Of
matters which he wishes TO have
brought before councils.
Tho erection of a hose drying tower
at the Nay Aug engine house was chief
among these. Building Inspector
jackson estimated that the tower
would cost $235, and the chief received
an offer from John Benore & Son TO
construct it for S240 The committee
favored the acceptance of this offer
and will recommend the same to
councils.
The committee also favored a sug-
gestion from the chief that the La
France Fire Engine company be or
dered to put new aXles and wheels on
the General Phinney engine which is
now undergoing repairs. The company
agreed to put the engine proper in
perfect repair and guarantee it for
five years for $1,7O0. Upon making an
examination of the running gear it was
found that the axles were sprung and
the wheels in a badly worn condition.
The company at once notified Chief
Walker of this and advised that new
wheels and aXles be put on, accompany
ing the advice with an offer to do the
work for $l75.
The chief was instructed by the COM
mittee to ask the company if 1t is will
ing to wait for it's pay for the extras
until next year, and if an affirmative
answer is received, the committee will
recommend to councils that tho addi-
tinnal repairs be made.
The Crystal and Century hose carts
were also reported to be in need of re
pairs and the committee agreed that
the chief might proceed TO have them
made.
Tho matter of repairs and alterations
to the Century hose house was laid
over. The owner of the building. Mrs.
Hartman, does not care to proceed with
the repairs until the money for the
additional rent IS actually approprl-
ated. The committee not having the
money at hand, decided to leave the
question open for a time and proceed
to hunt up the money.
Chief Walker stated that he had
found a few hundred dollars of uneX-
pended balances that can be appropri-
ated to fire department uses, and that
he proposes to have an ordinance in
trOduced in councils making the
transfer.

The conference between the Lacka-
wanna engineers and officials was not
resumed at o'clock yesterday morning
as per schedule.
General Superintendent Russell and
his colleagues were ready. but the en-
gineers' committee wanted more time.
Mr.. Russell told them to take their own
time to the matter and when they
were ready to proceed he would be
found waiting them.
The cause of the recess is the ina
bility of the conferees to agree upon
the details of the wage schedule.
The engineers submitted a set of
rules and schedule Of wages and left
It with Superintendent Russell. When
they came to discuss these rules and
the schedule last Friday they found
that superintendent Russell had pre-
pared schedule and rules of his own
and that his and not theirs were the
ones to be considered.
The company's propositions were dis
covered to be practically an utimat-
um. and the matter resolved itself into
a question of the engineers accepting
the company's terms, instead of the
company acceding to theirs.
The engineers committee is not sat
isfied with these terms and does not
want to accept them. Chief Arthur
has been sent for to advise with them
and until he arrives it is not likely
| that anything will be done. The
trouble on the big Four" was set
| tied yesterday and now being free,
| it is likely that Chief Arthur will be
| on hand today or tomorrow.

THE TAR BOILED OVER.
It Caused a Fire in Yard of Old No
3 School.

The alarm of fire sounded from box
81 at 1850 o'clock yesterday afternoon
was due to large kettle of tar boiling
over in the yard of old No. school on
River stheet. The tar came in contact
with the fire that was heating it.
The school building which was pur-
chased recently by st. Mary's congrega-
tion is being repaired and the roof is
being treated to a coat of tar. The tar
is heated by a strong blaze and not be-
ing watched closely boiled over, and
a fire resulted.
The blaze that arose was large and
spread with rapidity. The hose COM
panies responded to the alarm, but this
was an occasion when water and chem
icals would add to the fury of the
flames, consequently a new method of
combating fire was introduced.
A large gang of men procured SHOW
lse, and subdued the flames with sand
and cobbles.
The scene Of the fire was visited by
hundreds, the report having gone out
that St. Mary's church was ablaze.

GREAT EXODUS OF MINERS.
Large Numbers Have Left Glen
LYON and Wanamie for the West.

1t will no doubt surprise many to
learn Of the great exodus of miners
that is taking place from this valley.
Nearly 100 left the small town of Glen
Lyon on Monday and over forty yes
terday. Most Of them were booked
for Minneapolis. This has been going
on for over a week. Between forty
and fifty expert miners and their la
borers have also left Wanamie since
the strike commenced
Should the strike be settled tomor-
row there would he an insufficient
number of men to operate the collier
los. The cause of this exodus Is that
letters are being received by some of
the men informing them of a scarcity
of laborers in the West on account of
the boom Of industries there and the
bountiful harvests. -- Wilkes Barre
