NARROW ESCAPE.
Northern Pacific Train Has Narrow
Escape From Bad Accident. 4 s h

Fargo, Jan. IL. The east bound train
on the Northern Pacific narrowly escaped
destruction as it was passing the station
at Greene, two and, one-half miles west
of Mapleton Friday morning. The train
was not quite an hour late and was
going at about :forty-five miles an hour,
when the rear cars Of the train struck 8
broken rail. The engine and forward
coaches passed the defective spot safely
but the rear passenger coach, dining car
and. sleepers all left the track and
bumped along a distance Of at least a
quarter Of a mile before the train was
brought to stop. The occupants Of the
cars were shook up rather badly, but no
injuries whatever were sustained III lat
concerned the passengers most was the
feeling that the cars would turn over.
+ Attorney W. r. Miller was on the train
and riding in the sleeper. He says he
had just left his berth and was dressing
when the accident occurred and several
ladies were doing the same. The latter
showed exceptional presence of mind and
uone of them made q scene Mr.. Miller
says that it was plainly evident that the
cars we're saved from destruction BY; the
automatic couplers which served to keep
the cars right side up. The steps and
platforms of the cars which left the
track suffered considerable damage, but
they were replaced with other cars on
arrival at Fargo. An old railroad man
who was among the passengers said
that ne had been on the road a quarter
OF century and this was the. luckiest
accident he had ever experienced. The
train arrived at Fargo shortly before IL
O'Clock, and left in good shape about
fifteen minutes afterwards. ....s

settle the bills in connection with the
affair and hold a general accounting.
The inaugural was not as largely at
tended as that held six years ago, but
the committee will come out clear in the
matter, or practically SO, The total re-
ceipts from all sources were $513. OF
this amount, s64 was received from the
sale of seats in the gallery and the bal.
ance from general admission tickets and
extra supper tickets. There were about
ninety tickets sold in all at s5 each, and
this amount will let the committee out
nearly clear. The guarantee to the ladies
for the supper was for 300. plates. The
total number who were served at supper
was not over 200, and the ladies had
ample viands remaining for, many more
than were served. The perishable sup
plies4Were closed out at private sale by
the ladies, and the pickles., olives and a
few other things can be kept until the
charity ball to be given by the ladies the
latter part OF the month. A.
The expense for, the orchestra was
about $3.50. This had been paid through
the music committee and the other bills
will be paid as soon as the executive
committee holds it's meeting and makes
the final accounting. There was to have
been a meeting of the committee last
night, but the effects of the dance and
other attractions prevented full at
tendance Of the committee. fst =. H.. q
The force of workers at the capitol did
good work Friday afternoon in getting
the hall in shape for the dance. The
house did not adjourn until afternoon
and from then until evening it was the
business Of the working force to see that
the hall was cleared and put into shape
for the dance. It took hard work and
active work but it was done and the hall
was ready earlyin the evening. Farmer

JUDGE r. w. ARCHIBALD.

Nearly all of yesterday was taken up
with the trial of cases growing out of
the strike at the Jermyn mine at Old
Forge last September. There were two
cases tried jointly in which Joseph
Rogers and Nicolo Ditalia, Italian spe-
cial officers, were the prosecutors. The
charges were felonious wounding, and
the defendants were four of the Polish
residents of Old Forge. The jury was
out celebrating on the case at ad-
journing hour.
The last Of eight cases, growing out
of a payday row at Priceburg on Oc-
tober 4, was put on trial after the Old
Forge case and continued to occupy
the attention of the court until ad-
journment, John Widorchak and Leon
Ludkaski were the prosecutors, and
the charges are assault and battery
and robbery Attorney James f. Wat
kins is private counsel for the prose-
cutors, and Attorney p. +. Loughran
appears for the defendants.
a verdict of not guilty was taken in
the case of Angelo S. Grandi, charged
with pointing firearms. The county
will pay the coses
Mrs. Cora Eibes, convicted Tuesday
of receiving stolen goods, was sem
fenced to pay fine of 81, costs, and
spend four months in the county Jail.
The forfeiture of the bail of Mary Cos
tello, ordered Tuesday, was stricken
off yesterday and the capias issued for
her was recalled.

JUDGE II. M. EDWARDS.

John Moffat, of Brick avenue, was
convicted of selling liquor without a
license. The Municipal league prose-
cuted the case, and put iii evidence the
fact that the defendant had paid a
United States revenue license for the
past two years; also the fact that beer
had been purchased at his place by
agents of the organization. No de-
fense was offered, which was favor
ably commented upon by the court
when imposing the minimum sentence
Of $500 fine and three month in jail.
Edward T. Rush, of South Seventh
street, was convicted on similar
charge. The league was prosecutor in
this case also, and offered evidence
similar to that offered in the previous
case. ON June ] last, when the place
was visited by the detectives, the de-
fondants brother was apparently 10
charge, and was arrested He was
subsequently released on the under
standing, as stated by the detectives,
that the defendant in the case would
assume the responsibility and plead
guilty TO this charge.
1t appeared that d license was
granted to the defendant in March
last, nut was not taken out until Aug
ust 20, when the defendants mother
secured 1t In her own name.
Chief of Police John II. Evans and
officer William Price, of Taylor, were
placed on trial on the charge of feloni-
Gus wounding. Mrs. Annie Iisuansko
was prosecutor, and testified that on
the evening of the 4th of last August
she was assaulted by The defendants.

Olmstead, of Taylor, was called to
prove the injury and that il was the

EARLY MORNING FIRE.
FLAMES DESTROY TWO BUILD
INGs ON CARBON STREET.
They Were Owned by E. j. Mahan
and Mrs. M. Walsh--Total Losses
Amount to About $4,000.

Fire broke out early yesterday morn
Ing IN the frame dwelling house of T..
j. Mahon, at No. II Carbon street. and
despite the desperate efforts of the
central city fire companies, the flames
completely destroyed Mahon's property
and did great damage to the building
at No. 10 Carbon street, owned by Mrs.
NJ. Walsh and occupied by her and
family and Theodore Kelly.
A defective flue of Mahon's furnace is
thought to have caused the fire. \
mass of blackened smoking timbers
were all that remained of his home af-
ter o'clock yesterday morning and
the total damage sustained by him and
his brother. Martin Mahon, who re-
sided on the upper floor with his wife,
will aggregate about $4,000 which is
practically covered by insurance. +. ].
Mahon carried $4,000 on his home and
furnishings and his brother had $500.
The Walsh building, between which
and Mahons house there was only
about six inches space, sustained an
equal damage. The upper part of the
dwelling was the part most affected by
the flames, the roof being completely
destroyed and the flames playing havcc
with the upper story, but being pre-
vented from invading the ground lloor.
A great amount of damage was, how
ever, done by water, and as in the
Walsh as well as Mahon building, none
of the furniture was removed the loss
is about the same to the owners of each
of the affected dwellings.
The fire was discovered about 4.30
o'clock by street car men passing on
their way to the barn.
Harry Rice and Henry Hine, of the
Crystals We're pinned under falling
timbers in the Walsh building for a few
moments, but escaped unscratched
About 6 o'clock the fire was under con-
troll, but Mahon's building was then q
mere mass of ruins and Walsh's build
ing ruined.
An excited individual sent in an
alarm from box 16, at the Dickson
Manufacturing companys work, on
Vine street, and this brought to the
scene some of the Green Ridge and
North Scranton companies. The fire.
men express the opinion that a defec-
tive flue in Mahon's furnace caused
the fire.
Several large glass windows in Cor
don's three-story brick building oppo-
site Mahons We're cracked by the heat
and for a while indeed 1t was feared
that the building would catch fire from
the flying sparks.

TO LEAD The STRIKERS.
MOTHER JONES AND PRESIDENT
MAHER EXPECTED.
Silk Mill Employees Are Awaiting the
Female Organizer of Mine Work
ers-Pittston Girls Strike

There is d strong likelihood that the
forces of the local striking silk mill
employees will be augmented shortly by
the acquisition of Mother" Mary
Jones, one of the national organizers
of the United Mine Workers, and Presi-
. dent Thomas Maher, of the Textile
Workers of America, both of whom are
expected to soon arrive in the city.
1t is probable that with their advent
some efforts at a compromise will be
made.
Mother Jones may make her appear
ance in this city today although 1t is
more likely that she will not come until
next Monday. She will address the
strikers at a public meeting shortly
after her arrival. A letter was yes
terday received by President Flaherty,
of the Central Labor union. from Presi-
dent Maher. and the latter Is expected
to be on within few days.
The girls employed by the Sterling
silk company in Pittston, went on
strike yesterday morning. About two
hundred hands are employed at the
mill. They presented a wage scale,
asking for substantial increases and
also demand a ten-hour day sched-
ule. The mill owners gave no imme-
diate answer but declared that they
would give the demands ample consid-

\ meeting of the striking Simpson
hands was held yesterday at Minooka
and this afternoon the Sauquoit soft
silk workers will meet in Carpenters
hall. There are still about one hun
dred local silk employees who refuse
to join the union and declare their will
ingness TO SO back to work.
The strike has now reached Taylor,
and the hands at the large mill oper-
ated by Renard & Son quit work yes
terday. a list of grievances was sub
mitted to the owners, including re-
yised wage scale.
