The stocks most seriously affected by the
bean raid auu tie Iquldauon, arIer Brook
lyn, were Federal Steel common and Chi
cago Gas, besides Atchison preferred and
Rock Island, which have already been men
toned. 1t will be noticed that these Sc
curlties compose what has been called the
Flower group. Federal Steel common went
as low as 55 IA and closed at Sc. Chi
cago Gas, which has been weak for several
days, opened at ia ga, somewhat off. and
went as low as 113 IA closing at 113 5-s.
These two securities are regarded by many
as the best and safest of the industrial
securities. The earnings of both COM
panies are very large beyond question and
the ability of the Chicago Gas Company
to pay dividends has been demonstrated
most satisfactorily. The selling of the
stocks was somewhat foolish affair if
any investment shares were unIoaded. Dis
trust of the power of the Flower crowd
TO hold their own against the bears de-
Veioped, and was turned into mania to
sell the Flower stocks as the day went
on. By many the present slump in this
group Will be Considered an excellent op-
portunity to buy stocks hitherto unsecured.

Distressing Accident to a Boy at an Ice

The plant Of the Peoples Artificial Ice

cool returning hot water.
The victim was Harold, eight. year-old son
Of Henry Sheeler, Of South Plum alley
The boy, with others, had visited
the plant through curiosity and, while walk
ing outside, discovered the large revolving
fan, with which they commenced playing by
throwing their hats between the vanes, and
then grabbing for them. 1t was while thus
amusing himself that Sheeler had his arm
caught.
The result was shocking. As the rapidly
revolving fan sped around it tore Off the bone
OF the unfortunate boys arm at point about
three inches below the shoulder joint and
left the flesh and muscles dangling as if the
bone had been cut from It's coverings with a
knife.
The victim was removed to his home and
attended by Drs. w. N. Stein and G. NJ.

an inch above the place where the arm was
tern of, and two inches below the shoulder

POLES and slnvs orrnnizinr.

Pittsburg, July 27.-The Dispatch
prints the forecast of labor organiza-
tion which, if carried through success
fully, promises to be a tremendous
factor tn the labor world in this vi
entity. For some time past secret
work has been carried on for the or
ganization Of the Poles and Slavs, and
q formidable union has already been
effected. 1t is the intention of the or
ganization to make demands on Aug.
for the correction OF a number of
alleged abuses. The chief grudge of
the foreigners is against the negro las
borers. When 1t is considered that the
unskilled labor about a mill outnum-
bers the skilled labor several times.
and that the big majority OF the work.
ers are Poles and Slavs, the great
power OF an organization Of these
workers can be appreciatped.

COUNCILMEN ENJOrNRD.
Wilkesbarre's Police Are Responsible
TO the Mnvor Alone.


Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 27-Judge Nc
Clure yesterday granted a perpetual
injunction against the city councils
Of Wilkesbarre restraining them from
interfering with the police department.
Some months ago Mayor Nichols is
sued an order to the police to arrest
all saloon keepers who violated the
Sunday law. Several arrests were
made, but city councils did not take
kindly to the methods adopted by the
police to collect evidence against the
saloon men. The chief of police and
several of his subordinates were sum-
moned to appear before the police COM
mittee of councils and answer charges
preferred against them. The mayor
forbade the officers to appear, and ap-
piled to the court for an injunction to
restrain the councils from interfering
with the workings of the police de-
partment, claiming the police were
responsible to him alone Judge Nc
Clure, who was presiding in court at
the time, in the absence of one OF the
Luzerne county judges, granted tenn
porary injunction, and in a lengthy
opinion filed yesterday he makes it
perpetual. The judge holds that
mayors of the third class cities con-
troll the police, and not the councils.

EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.
A Drunken Man Challenges Death, But
Escapes UniBjured.

One Of the most extraordinary escapes from
death recorded in this vicinity for some time
occurred in the Lehigh Valley railroad cut
west Of the Main street crossing this morn
ing. The person who figured in the affair
was Pole in an intoxicated condition.
He was dressed in his working clothes
and carried his dinner can and bottle,
His appearance indicated that he had gone to
the mines and found no work for to-day.
Before returning home he visited a saloon,
after which he started for his home on the
rocks, taking the railroad cut as his course
As he walked westward the $50 east-bound
passenger train came laundering along
towards the cut. The man first sought safety
in the ditch at the side of the track, but as
the train drew close to him the few people
who CHANGED to be looking in that direction
from Main street were borrifed to see the
fellow make spring with the apparent in
tention Of jumping upon the COW catcher
Tho engine struck the man with such force
as to throw him high in the air and over the
southern embankment OF the cut. The
victim fell upon the Pennsylvania Railroad
freight station siding several yards distant
Scores Of people hurried to the place, expect
ing to find a bleeding and mangled corpse,
but, to their great astonishment, the man
was upon his feet before they could reach
him, and staggered off in the direction of his
home on the rocks" apparently uninjured
and mumbling something in his native
tongue.
