DON'T PUSH A MANS FACE.
Sage Advice Given by Roland Reed
the Jovial Comedian.

Don't push a man in the face if you
can resist the temptation" said Roland
Reed last night in his dressing room in
the Lvceum, as he struggled into the
clothing he wore in the last act.
sometimes it's an immense relief to
let your hand go and strike q person
extensively offensive to you, but curb
it, my boy, curb it, for it's expensive.
1 had a little of that pastime at
WilkesB Barre last night and it cost me
$3.50 this morning. L don't know.
though, but 1 got the worth of my
money" he continued as If commun-
ing with himself.
Mr.. Reed was playing at the Nesbitt
in Wilkes-B Barre Tuesday night. and
the property man, Roger Howells, he
alleges, in answer to a question replied
in a brutally insolent tone. Mr.. Reed
promptly hit him, landing somewhere
in the vicinity of the eye.
Yesterday morning Howells had Mr.
Reed arrested and at a hearing later
in the day the case was settled at a
cost of $3.50 to the jovial comedian
1t is the first unpleasant incident OF
the kind he has had in his whole
career.

LUTHER KELLER'S PLAN.
Wants TO Run Trolley Cars to the
West Side over the West Linden
Street Bridge That Spans
D., L. & w. Tracks.

Common Councilman Keller proposes
advocating in councils the adjustment
OF the tracks of the Scranton Railway
company at the West Lackawanna
avenue crossing. lie intends first to
try to induce the company officials
to take the initiatory. Failing in that,
Mr.. Keller will try to bring it about.
1t is not proposed to include a VIA
duct in the movement to abolish the
grade crossing, but the plan contem-
plates u route via Eighth street to
West Linden street, and thence west
over the railroad tracks via the SWEET
land street bridge. Advocates of the
change say there is ample trackage
room, and that the company could
strengthen the bridge at slight cost.
1t is claimed that the absence of the
wear and tear now occasioned by
humping over the railroad tracks and
the avoidance OF delays at the crossing
would compensate the company for the
trouble and expense involved in MAX
ing the change. Further, it is argued
that the damages. sure to follow loss
of life on the crossing some time, will
be avoided.
Mr.. Keller intends to consult today
with General Manager Silliman, of the
Scranton Railway company, and ascer-
tain that gentlemans views. If he is
not personally opposed to the change,
it is probable he will be given oppOr-
tunity to communicate with the Of
ficers of the company and to confer
later relative to the required legisla-
lion.
There prevails among some city Of
ficials a sentiment in favor of an ele-
waited structure for the exclusive use
of trolley cars--and, perhaps for pedes-
trians. Such an elevated structure
would be similar to that in Wilkes
Barre where the trolley cars cross high
above the Lehigh Valley, Delaware and
Hudson and Jersey central tracks.
While a variety of plans are sug-
gested, councilmen and the public seem
to be united on one point, which is
that the West Lackawanna avenue
crossing must be abolished, and that
speedily. This sentiment has been
aroused largely by the miraculous es-
cape from death of the eight passeng-
ers aboard the car which was smashed
to pieces recently on the carbon street
crossing, and by the comments which
followed that accident.
Then, too, there has been a very
rapid growth anu building of homes on
the West Side in the past year, and
traffic on West Lackawanna avenue
has largely increased. This element of
residenters give their representatives
in councils no rest. 1ney are clamor-
ing for the removal Of the grade-c cross
ing danger and are increasing, instead
| of decreasing their demands.
Persons who have kept in close
touch with the situation predict some
definite action before the middle of the
summer

CARS DOWN FREEMAN's HILL.
Passengers on the Taylor Line Had
an Exciting Experience.

Passengers on cars of the Taylor line
of the Scranton Traction company had
a thrilling experience yesterday morn
ing, and a narrow escape from serious
injury. Car 14O in charge of Conductor
Nichols and Motorman Dayinte, left
Taylor for Scranton at 6.35 o'clock
with eleven passengers aboard.
When the car was ascending Free
mans hill, a steep incline, q short dis
tance from the city line, car 143, in
charge of Conductor Barney McGill
and Motorman Lynch, came out of the
switch at the top of the hill. The
trolley of that car left it's position on
the wire and the slippery condition of
the rails made it impossible for Lynch
to control his car, and it started down
the tracks.
The car coming up was sighted, and
Lynch shouted for Dayinte to reverse
his car, which was quickly done, he
then jumping. A moment later the
cars came together.
Down the hill the cars moved rapid
ly, the passengers getting off and being
hurled into the snow banks OH either
side. Three Hungarian laborers alight-
ed backwards, but escaped injury. Both
cars jumped the tracks at PowelPs 3
corner.
A Miss Davis, Of Bellevue, who was
on the runaway car, was the only
person injured. Her injuries are slight.
The wrecking crew placed the derailed
cars on the tracks. The only damage
to them was the breaking of the fen

ney, jr., the Scranton street property.
The father was living with Michael,
Jr, at that time. John sought the aid
of the equity side of the court with a
view to having the deed annulled, con-
tending that the father was cajoled
into giving the property to Michael
when as a matter Of fact he intended
to give it to him John), and had fire.
quently publicly declared that such
was his intention. A good deal of tes-
timony was offered to support this view
OF the case.
There was also a mass of evidence to
support Michaels view of the case,
which is that the father gave him
the property because he supported him
for long time before his death. EX-
Judge w. II. Stanton represents the
defendant and Joseph O'Brien and ex-
Judge Ward the plaintiff. All of the
testimony was not heard yesterday,
and the case will be resumed this
morning. The memory OF the departed
Kearney was badly smeared yester-
day by the testimony adduced on the
part of the warning sons.

SUMMERS CUT SOME TIMBER
The Lyncks Want to Compel Him to
Pay for 1t.

John Lynch, Il. NJ. Lynch, George
Lynch, William Lynch and James
Lynch, who own S67 acres of land in
Clifton township, this county, began
an action yesterday to recover 81, 900
damages from George A. Summers

ber on the property of the plaintiffs,
who are represented by Attorney NJ.
j. Martin.
The plaintiffs allege that the tract
of land they owned was valuable for
the timber it contained and that it's
market price has been greatly injured
by the timber cut by Summers. Sew
enty-siX stumps were counted by the
plaintiffs, showing that trees to that
number had been cut. These trees are
valued at s. each. The remainder OF
the $1,000 is claimed for general dam
age TO the tract.

KEARNEYS ARE AT WAR.
A Two Thousand Dollar Scranton

Michael and John Kearney, sons OF

are disputing over the ownership of a
$4,000 property on Scranton street, this
city, and they related their troubles
before Judge Gunster in the main
court room yesterday. Some of the
testimony offered would lead to the be-

DEADENS ENTHUSIASM.

This sort of uncertainty does not
tend to enthuse or interest the men. I
have not for moment thought, and
do not now believe, that the state
would enlist these men, and permit the
officers to go to a large expense, and
then summarily muster them out OF the
Guard, except for the cause of ineffic-
iency.
1.-THE Eleventh regiment is composed
of splendid material, and will make a
most excellent organization, and the
state may rely upon it's services. 1
have not seen the other organizations,
but I presume they are of similar ma
terial. So far as concerns the regl-
ments, who so promptly and willingly
entered the service of the government
and enlisted in the volunteer service,
they are entitled to every considera-
ton. If these regiments as they re-
turn desire to again enter the services
of the state, and become a part of the
State Guard, every opportunity should
be accorded them to do so, and 1 have
no doubt but that proper provision will
be made therefor. 1t is observed, how
ever, that thus far the regiments
which have returned from the United
States service. and have been musterei
out, have not shown a willingness to
re-enter the service of the state; and
the time which the state gave them to
re-enlist, in at least two instances, has
7 expired.
II do not doubt that this matter will
adjust itself promptly and easily, al
though there will probably be a neces-
sity for additional Legislation by the
general assembly, at it's present ses-
sion at Harrisburg.
Meanwhile, IL would seem that any
other policy than that of the survival
of the fittest' would be emlnently un-
fair and, therefore, improbable. It IS
because of this view of the case that
l have no hesitation in saying that the

The message of Governor Hastings
to the general assembly contained the
following referring to the National
Guard: "rhere are now five regiments
of Pennsylvania Volunteers remaining
in the United States service, the
Eighth, Tenth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth
and Fifteenth, and these will probably
be mustered out at an early day. This
will render necessary the disbandment
of the new organizations that were re-
cruited and organized to meet pos
sible emergency. The officers and men
composing these commands deserve
great credit from the state for the
prompt and patriotic manner in which
they responded to the call of duty, and
it is to be regretted that these splendid
organizations cannot be retained in the
service"
AS this matter interests q large body
of young men and their friends in this
section of the state, a Tribune man
called upon Colonel l.. A. Watres,
commander of the Eleventh regiment,
for his views concerning it's effect upon
the guard. Colonel Watres said that
he had no doubt but that the tempor-
ary effect of Governor Hastings mes
sage upont the guard would be un-
favorable and depressing.
THE NEW GUARD.
"The officers and men forming the
six regiments of the National Guard
now in existence responded promptly
to the call of the governor" continued
the colonel, because the state had been
LOT " of r1
ton, and as the governor in his mes
sage says: The officers and men are
deserving of great credit for the prompt
and patriotic manner in which they re-
sponded to the call to duty In re-
spending, however, to the call of the
governor, the officers and men have
been put to an actual expense in
money, and to quite a sacrifice in time
and labor. The officers have been
obliged to provide uniforms and equip
ments, and officers and men have en-
tered into the service with a zeal and
energy which is indeed commendable.
so far as the Eleventh regiment is
concerned, 1t has organized itself into
three excellent battalions, and has
made itself proficient in drill. From its
very inception, there has been more
or less talk about provisional guard.
The term provisional has no place
whatever, either in our law governing
the guard, or in any Of the orders
which have been issued: neither has
the work PROVISIONAL appeared in any
of the commissions of any of the Of
ficers.
"The six regiments, to wit, the Sew
enth, Eleventh. Seventeenth, Nine
teenth, Twentieth and Twenty first
regiments, are part of the National
Guard of Pennsylvania. In all proba-
bility, none of them will be mustered
| out o<the service. unless they shall be
found to be inefficient, and not up to
the required standard. 1t must be con-
| fessed that it is somewhat discourag-
ing to the officers and men of the

are to be mustered out of the service
