GIRLS NARROW ESCAPE.
Jumped from a Moving Train in
LackaWanna Yard.

A young woman, whose name could
not be learned, had narrow escape
:; ON injury yesterday afte, noon in
jumping from the Buffalo express aft
er 1t had started from the Lackawan-
ma avenue station at $50 o'clock.
In company with another young wo-
man the train-jumper entered the de-
pot just as Station Master McCann
had given the order to start, and she
was assisted to one OF the middle
coaches while the train was moving.
Conductor Finnerty meanwhile had
noticed the other young woman anx-
ious to get aboard the train and as
sisted her to the rear coach in safety,
Everybody was excited at the incl
dent. and even Superintendent Sails
bury played part in the little drama.
He ordered the train stopped.
The first young woman, believing
that her companion had been left be-
hind, threw her valise from the mov-
Ing train after it had passed out of
the station and deliberately jumped off
In the rear of the Scranton House
Without any ceremony she picked IN
her grip and started back to the sta
ton.
The train was then at a standstill
and when she reached the rear plat
form met her companion waiting for
her, as IL she knew she had jumped
off. They were quickly escorted inside
the last coach and were lost to the
sight Of the crowd as the train pulled
away.

PRESENTMENTS TODAY.
Grand Jury Believes It Has Suffi-
cient Evidence to Warrant It in
Returning a Number of Persons.

Presentments will be made today in
a number of cases against councilmen
and other Lexow victims, in which the
grand jury believes sufficient evidence
has been secured to warrant an indict-
ment. Judge Edwards will pass upon
these. and If he approves of them they
will be then formally voted upon to
determine whether or not indictments
will be reported 1t is probable the
public will hear from the jury on Sat-
urday.
There was a story afloat yesterday
to the effect that the presentments
against the councilmen had been sub
mitted to Judge Edwards, and that he
had advised the jury he could not ap-
prove of them. A denial of this came
from an authoritative source.
Though we may report on Satur-
day." said one of the jurors yesterday,
ut will likely be a very partial report.
Unless certain witnesses, who are, to
our minds, absolutely necessary to this
investigation, put in an appearance
tomorrow. it is very probable we will
adjourn over to next week and con-
tfnue till We secure the testimony Of
these witnesses. The public, we are
convinced, would not be satisfied if we
adjourned finally without first having
exhausted every reasonable effort to
make the investigation complete and
thorough. We propose to satisfy the
public"

He said IL he could spend a million
dollars In Scranton he would clean the
streets. drain every bit of low land
and stop using the river as a sewer.
He would have the garbage systemat-
ically collected and make little parks

people and would find a strong lamp

Mrs. Linda Hull Larned gave a de-
lightful talk on her favorite topic OF
teaching the wives of the working men
and the school girls how to buy nu-
trltiOus FOOD. now to cook IL In sani-
tary way and how to make dollar
go far. She urged the workingmen To
vote for manual training in the schools
and told much OF the great work wo-
men are doing along these lines.
Hon. John r. Farr gave an excel
lent address, in which he told Of the
reforms accomplished by women in
the state through legislation. He said
that to them and the labor organiza-
tions was due the passage Of the COM
pulsory education bill. the bills for
scientific temperance instruction. for
kindergartens in public schools, etc.
He believed 1t the duty of the working
men to awake to their privileges and
vote accordingly. He did not recall
an instance where legislators at Har-
risburg, whatever their obedience to
factions. would not bend to the wishes
of the people.

The facts in the case as your corle-
spcndent CLEANS are these Oyster
planting ground was assigned to Capt.
Bailey and others under the Baylor
survey. and several thousands Of dol
lars worth Of seed oysters and shells
were planted upon the bottoms The
oystermen claimed that the ground was
natural oyster rock. To support this
claim they secured the services OF q
surveyor who declared that certain
portion of the ground was natural rock
and belonged to the citizens Of the
State. Captain Bailey then got the
county, surveyor Of Westmoreland to
run the lines. He declared that the
ground had been thrown out as plant
ing ground by the Baylor survey and
that Capt Bailey was entitled to 1t.
Upon a petition Of the oystermen Sec
rotary Miller. Of the Board Of Fisheries,
sent Mr.. Warwick, surveyor, TO
run the lines. His surveyor did not
exactly agree with either one Of his
predecessors, but q considerable portion
OF the ground was declared by him to
be natural rock. Upon his decision,
and the statement that the tongers were
entitled TO the grounds for their public
use. they began work upon the oysters
planted by Capt Bailey and soon
cleaned them up Bailey swore out
warrants against some Of the parties,
but shortly afterwards, withdrew them
until satisfactory settlement Of the
lines could be made. In the meantime
Bailey began to sorape for some Of the
oysters which he had planted and which
were being taken by the tongers. To
scrape ones private grounds is permits

Bailey and his partners at the same
time were fined $50 and costs by the
charge having unlawfully staked in
these grounds Counsel for Bailey
