THEIR MARROW ESCAPE.
George Clarke and His Driver Just
Missed Being Injured.

George Clarke, of West Scranton
and his driver, had very narrow es-
capes from serious injury on Saturday
morning. They were driving down the
incline leading from the westerly end
of the Roaring Brook bridge to Jeffer-
son avenue when they heard a clash
behind them. Looking back they saw
a maddened horse tearing down the
hill dragging a badly wrecked single
wagon after it.
Mr.. Clarke took the reins from the
drivers hands and pulled his team in
to the curb. The runaway swerved to
one side as it came towards them
and in doing So tripped and fell, one
of the shafts penetrating his body
The wagon was thrown into the ali
and passed completely over Mr.
Clarke's carriage just missing it by a
hairs breadth. Had it struck. both
men would have undoubtedly been in
jured.
The horse, which belonged to Bellies
the liveryman, was attached to a
wagon of the Philadelphia Grocery
store, and which started on it's journey
at the east end of the bridge, bled ia
death in a few minutes from the wound
received from the shaft.

HAD A RICH HALF-BROTHER
Mrs. Sarah Hazlett to Receive An
other $e7, 900 from skeer's Es-
tate-Will Make $4,000.

BY another distribution in the Skeer's
estate to be made today, in Mauch
Chunk, Mrs. Sarah Hazlett, of this
city, one of the six beneficiaries, will
be further enriched to the extent Of
$4,000 This will make $4,000 she has
received from this estate, but she will
have received as much again before she
gets all that is coming to her.
The estate is valued at over $1,0O0,000.
The decedent, Charles Skeer, was Mrs.
Hazlett's half-brother. He was born
In Kingston, and when a boy went 20
Mauch Chunk to work in Asa Packers
store for 81 a week. He became gen.
eral manager of the store, married the
proprietors daughter, came into a
share of the Packer wealth, and at his
death was a millionaire by a good
sized margin.
His wife and only daughter died, and
then he married a widow He had
made a number of wills, but it was
supposed he had destroyed them, he
having so declared some time before
his death. The widow took out letters
of administra ton, and was about to
proceed to administer the estate when
one of his old wills was discovered and
offered for probate by a brother-in-
law, named Blakeslee, whom the will
named as executor,
The decedant's half-sisters, Mrs.
Hazlett, of this city; Miss Anna Skeer
niece, Miss Packer, and the children
of a half-brother, who live in Blooms
burg, opposed the will and succeeded
in having it thrown out, the register
sustaining their contention that the de-
cedant had intended to destroy it with
the others, as was evidenced by the
fact that it was made prior to the death
of his first wife and their daughter.
Under the intestate laws the widow
came in for half, and the others di-
vided the remaining half among them.
Mrs. Hazlett's share under the will
was only $4,000.
Most of the estate is in stocks, bonds
and real estate. Among the holdings
were 81, 900 shares of Lehigh Valley
stock. The property is being turned
into cash as rapidly as possible and
distributed among the heirs. Mrs.
Hazlett's attorney, John f. Scragg, at
tended sale in Mauch Chunk, Friday,
when some local bank and silk mill
stocks and a piece of real estate
brought $lO5OO. This will also be dis
tributed in the course of few weeks.
