PREcAUTIoN WAS IN VAIN.
Peculiar Accident That Came of
Stealing a Ride.

At the Dodge colllery there is a tres
tie crossing the Lackawanna tracks,
which Is only Ave feet above the top
of the high box cars. One hundred
feet to either side of this trestle n
fringe of leather straps is suspended
across each track at such a height that
a man standing on the top of box
car will be touched by them and warn
ed of the low bridge" beyond.
This precaution was all in vain, how
ever, as far as John Coates was con-
cerned Yesterday afternoon, he was
walking homeward when a freight
train overlook him Just above the
Dodge colliery. 1t was moving slowly
and he boarded 1t. By the time he had
clambered to the top of the high box
car on which he chose to ride, the
warning overhead fringe had been
passed Just as he gained an erect po-
stion the car on which he stood
passed beneath the trestle. He was
looking in the wrong direction and as
a consequence did not notice the tres
tie.
When the train stopped in the Tay-
lor yard he was found lying uncon-
scious on the top of the car following
the one on which he had stood, with
his feet projecting over the end. The
side OF his head was badly cut and
bruised. but fortunately his skull es-
capped fracture.
He recovered consciousness after n
short time, and after explaining how
he had failed to dodge the trestle,
walked home.

eulogy of the dead woman's sterling
Christian character.
The quartette from the church, con-
sisting of Messrs. Gippel and Morga n
and Misses Black and Garagan, rem
dered several appropriate selections.

A BEER GLASS DID 1T.
John Yock Cuts George Glisk's Face
In Drunken Quarrel.

George Glisk and John Yock, of Lloyd
street, engaged in a drunken brawl,
Saturday night, in which a broken beer
glass was the chief instrument used,
as result of which Glisk now has four
teen stitches in his face. and Yock's
countenance is ornamented with sew
eral pieces of court plaster and a few
stitches.
Glisk boards with Yock, and their
quarrel arose out of the latter asking
the former for months board due
him. Glisk resented this and, taking it
as reflection on his honesty, hurled
at him beer glass, which struck him
on the forehead. Yock then closed with
him and striking him in the face with
the broken glass, the jagged edges in
flicted terrible cuts, from which the
blood poured freely. He became un-
conscious, and DR.. ]. b. Corser was
called in and attended to both men
No arrests have been made.

ROW in THE RISING SUN.
Quarrel Over a Young
Woman - Harry Cluto Made a
Desperate Attempt to Shoot.

There was a celebration in the "Ris-
ing Sun" block, on Seventh street, yes
terday, which almost resulted in muir
der. But for the failure of Harry Cluto
to load his revolver, William Capo prob
ably would be the subject for coro-
ner's inquest today.
Guests had assembled from all parts
of Lackawanna county to join in the
celebration and beer flowed freely. To-
ward evening the participants became
intoxicated. About Z o'clock several of
the men engaged in an alteration over
the failure of one of their number to
win the hand of the sister of Cluto
A rejected lover who blamed Cluto,
wanted his friends to kill the brother
and they proceeded to accomplish that
end by kicking and beating him. Cluto
retaliated by biting q chunk out of
Capo's arm. This enraged the other
assailants, and to protect himself
Cluto drew from his pocket 3S-calibre
Johnsons self-acting revolver.
He snapped the hammer several
times at Capo, but it was empty and
fortunately did no harm. The crowd
scattered in every direction, and
Cluto sought seCluson in the cellar
way of the house. Meantime. a call
was sent to police headquarters AMI
several officers responded with the
patrol wagon, but Patrolman Matthews
had already placed the man under ar
rest.
The revolver was found on his per-
son. and when searched at the West
Scranton police station, Lieutenant
Williams found ten cartridges in
Cluto's pocket. He was locked up,
pending a hearing this morning. The
prisoner is about twenty-five years of
age, and resides in Moosic.
The affair created intense excitement
and the rumor spread rapidly that a
man had been shot. Hundreds of men
and boys followed the patrolman with
his prisoner to the station house.
The house where the fight occurred is
located at Scranton and Seventh
streets. Several times the police have
been called there to quell disturbances

noon, to go through the formality Of

A prominent capitalist of a neigh
boring town is authority for the state
ment that within a few years every
town in this valley between Carbon
dale and Nanticoke will be lighted by
one company, the headquarters of
which will be in Scranton.
Martin Maloney, of Philadelphia. is
the moving spirit Of this great deal,
and the combining of the three Scran-
ton and the Dunmore companies is re-
garded as a forerunner of the plan to
be followed in carrying it out. The
company will be composed of New
York and Philadelphia capitalists and
several capitalists of this valley whose
presence in the company win be neces-
sary for the consummation of the deal.
Several months ago this rumor was
in circulation in Pittston and Wilkes
Barre financial circles. At that time a
prominent Pittston man made an at
tempt to secure an option on the Citi-
zen's Electric Illuminating company of
Pittston, but President ]. X. Ross re-
fused to sell at the price offered. This
is said to have been surprisingly large.
The man who was after the option re-
fused to tell who were associated with
him in the deal, but in Pittston 1t
was said that he represented Phiadel-
phia capitalists.
PLAN TO BE FOLLOWED.
The failure to secure the Pittston
plant caused the movement to be
abandoned for the time being, but the
announcement last week that applica-
tion had been made in Harrisburg for
charter for an electric light COM
pany to be located in Pittston revived
the old rumor and investigation re-
vcaled that the new company will
either buy the old company or try to
force it out of business.
simultaneously with the announce
ment Of the application for a charter
was the announcement that the pres
ent company wants the city of Pitts
ton to grant them a ten-year contract
when their present contract expires,
| which will be in a Few months. 1t is
said that if they get this contract the
new company will give the price de-
manded by President Ross.
The men who are after the Pittston
plant are said to be the men who have
acquired the companies in this city and
| up the valley.
ANOTHER COMPANY.
The plan to be followed by them is
to get tho plants in all the large towns
in the Wyoming and Lackawanna val
leys, and then either buy the companies
that own the plants in the smaller
| towns or invade their territory.
Already the combine has obtained a
hold on the electric light business from
] Forest City to Nanticoke to an ex-
tent that few realize except those who
have been closely watching the vari-
Gus moves made during the last two
| years.

A characteristic strongly marked in
Judge Kelly as an attorney was the
thorough, serious, intense and exclusive
way in which he attacked a case. This
same applies to his method Of trying
case. lie is trying it every moment
that 1t Is before him, and nothing is
permitted TO distract his attention
from it. "a thing worth doing is

1O4 CENTS A POUND

This is the Price Paid ON This Market To
Daily Argus Tuesday.
Cotton has been selling at 1O4
cents a pound on this market all
day. This looks like business.
The farmers are more cheerful
and the business men more hope
full. It has been a long time
since cotton sold on the market
of Goldsboro for 104 cents a
pound, but the high price is none
the less appreciated because OF
the long delay in arriving.
On the second Monday in Sep
tember, one year ago, Monday
Messrs. e. We'll & Bros. sold a
number of bales for 81 cents pei
pound and the local market was
even less than that. During the
first week in September last yeal
there we're less than one hun.
dred bales Of the feecy staple
sold on this market, while las
week there were three hundred
and fifty one bales of new cottor
sold on this market.
