on-cOming car struck the rear of the

Against the Curb.

Anthony johnson, of Court street, a
urlVer IN the employ of the Lacka-
wanna Brewing company, was thrown
from one OF the concerns delivery
wagons Saturday night and received
injuries which resulted in his death
yesterday morning. Tie accident was
due TO the wagon being struck by a
Scranton-bound street car, and the
shock or the collision throwing off
both johnson and a man named Kelly.
VINO was sitting beside him on the
drivers seat. Kelly had one of his;
rlps broken and was badly bruised
johnson was man 30 years of age
ana is survived by wife and two
children.
About $50 o'clock Saturday night he
was driving along Capouse avenue.
me wheels of his wagon We're on the
car tracks, but the street was dark
ana the motorman of the approaching
car was unable to see what was on
the track. The car was going at a fair
rate and when the motOrman did see
the wagon. it was too late to avoid
collision. Near the corner Of Ash
street and CapOuse avenue. there was
terrific crash, and the car struck
the rear part of the wagon. Johnson
and Kelly We're thrown heavily from
their seats and johnson struck his
head against the curb
The wagon was badly damaged and
six or seven kegs of beer, which were
carried, fell from their places. A large
crowd collected and, apropos Of these
same beer kegs, sad to tell. only two
of them were recovered
The two injured men We're carried
into GelbertS drug store. nearby. and
afterwards taken to their homes.
Kelly was removed to his home in
Green Ridge and was yesterday eX-
amined by Or. \. W. Smith 1t was
found that one of the ribs on his left
side was fractured. ana that he was
very badly bruised.
DR.. S. p. LongStreat attended john
son Saturday night. From almost the
outset it was seen that no hopes could
be entertained. The collision with the
Curbstone had caused a very severe
confusion of the entire left side of the
head. There was no fracture, but the
entire head was in very bruised con-
dtion, as though battered with some
heavy. blunt instrument. The right
side of the mans body was also badly
bruised and the sixth and seventh
ribs We're fractured. At no time was
he unconscious, but was always per-
fectly aware of all that was going
on. He suffered great pain, and died
at 4.3O o'clock Yesterday morning.
Johnson is survived by his wife. for
merly Miss Nellie Weir, and two chill
drCn. John and Joseph. and the fol-
lowing brothers and sisters Mrs
Joseph DeverS, Mary Belinda James
and John Johnson, of Beech street
The arrangements for the funeral

WAS COMPELLED TO ANSWER.
Councilman Wade M Finn Had No
Alternative.

4 great many persons who have
been interested followers of the evidence
in the councilmanic bribery eases
brought by the Municipal league were
greatly surprised on Saturday when
they read that Councilman Wade NJ.
Finn had the night before answered
the questions which he refused to an
swer at a previous hearing held on
Tuesday night
The general impression prevails that
man cannot he compelled to give cvi-
dcnce which incriminates himself very
few knowing that in bribery cases this
right Of the witness is waived.
Article I. section of the constitution
Of the state of Pennsylvania in defn-
ing the right of witness in criminal
prosecutions says "IIc cannot be COM
PEELED 10 give evidence against him
self"
The fact that this provision exists is
generally known but NOT that another
ono contradicting II is also to be
found in the constitution.
This is article III, section 81, which
says: ANY person may he compelled
to testify in any lawful investigation
or Judicial proceeding against any per-
son who may be charged with having
committed the Offensc of bribery or
corrupt solicitation. or practices of So
licitation, and shall NOT be permitted
10 withhold his testimony upon tine
ground that it may criminate himself
or subject him to public infamy. but
such testimony shall not afterwards be
used against him in any judicial pro-
ceeding except for perjury in giving
such testimony"
Thus it will be seen that Mr.. Finn
mad either to answer the questions or
be committed for contempt OF court.

VI 80 o'clock last night services
were begun in the jewish synagogucs
throughout the city, in celebration of
the opening of the Hebrew New Year,
the ushering in of the year 56il.
In all the temples, the annual Rosh
IIashonah. or New Year, ritual was
read, and the beginning of another
year made the occasion of happiness
and rejoicing
In the Linden Street synagogue, in
the absence of a regular pastor, the
services were in charge of Sol. Foster,
junior nt the Jewish Rabbinical
school at Cincinnati. MI Foster spent
the greater part of his childhood days
in Scranton, and left the city some
years ago with his parents, to reside
in Philadelphia. His appearance in
the pulpit marked his homecoming,
in a sense. In the course of his SER
mon, he said:
To celebrate tho beginning OF another year
are we now assembled. The wild bell, of the
past have almost ceased their ringing. Vet
before their lingering notes have passed away,
the pclls Of merry bells Of hope greet our ears
and we leave the past on a bridge OF harmony
We stand on the threshold q an uncertain future
We are on the quiNerng verge separating two
etcrntics, the years that are gone and the
years that are to come. This night according
TO tradition, alone and in deadly silence, each
Of us must encounter the spirit of evil and wrcs.
tie Tor the mastery Of virtue and truth over sin
and fasehood This night, he who is for the
right, must pledge his allegiance TO the right
His nobler self must arise in it's strength and as.
selt its adherence to truth. He must eXpel the
tyrant from his heart, the tyrlnt that prompts
to wrong, and build in his soul a temple with
God
