PAwNEE BILL SUED.
Fall Of Tier Of Seats Leads to Big
Damage Suit.


Humboldt. Sept. 23.-It seems that
Pawnee Bits Wild west show is in trou-
Bile again. While at Fairmont, Mimi,
the workmen began taking down the
tent before the show was over, and on
account of removing some supports
the raised seats came down with a
crash. creating panic and injuring in
different degrees several persons. The
result is that four Fairmont ladies have
sued Pawnee Bills show for $4,000 for
the damage done them.
AT first Pawnee Bill claimed he did
not own the show. but atlast he put the
matter into the hands of his attorney,
and unless settlement is made the case
will be tried at Humboldt Oct. Z. as pa
pers have already been served on the
show at this place.

Cup Defender Goes Into Dry Dock
Preparatory to Race.

New York. Sept. 23.-Sahlted by scores
Of vessels as she was towed thru the
East river yesterday morning, the cup
defender Columbia. flying the pennant
OF the New York Yacht Club at her
mast, looked every inch the racing craft
that she is.
The Columbia reached the Morst Iron
Works, Brooklyn, at noon, and at i
o'clock she was fioated into the sectional
dock, astern of the steamer Old Domin-
ion. In two hours the yacht was high
and dry and blocked up in position for
her last cleaning before the great inter-
national race.
1t was learned that the Columbia is
using the old Defenders main boom and
the mainsail with which she won the
trial races at Newport. II is not likely
that any change will be made in either
the boom or the said until after the first
race on Thursday.
Fully 5000 persons visited the Sham
rock II. at the Erie basin dry dock yes
terday. Among them was Commodore
John C. Prague. who has perhaps won
more races with his yachts in the old
days than any other. He said:
II like the shape of the Shamrock, and
if her sails are as good as the Column
bias she will win the cup. Her rigging
is strong and her mast is in the right
place. Another good feature is that her
boom comes down close to the deck. She
looks bigger all over than the Column
bia, and feel she as very fast boat"

Denver, Sept. 2S.-George Tebeau,
manager of the Kansas City Western
League base ball club, and organizer of
the National Association of Baseball
Leagues, arrived in Denver yesterday
from the east. In an interview he said:
..All players who jumped their con-
tracts on reservations will be blacklist
ed at the meeting of the association of
minor leagues to be held Oct. 20 in New
York.
Such blacklisted players will find
their punishment permanent.
1.-THE minor organizations are willing
to help a player of ability to advance,
but when they develop a player to the
point where he becomes big league tim
Der they are entitled to some recon-
pense.
my advice to players is not to be
tempted by promises OF larger salaries
made by the big leagues. The best such
players will get Is only try out this
fan and next spring, and then If they
fail to make good they will be cut Of
the business" )

$40 TO Join Mine Workers.

The second annual convention of the
United Mine Workers of District 0 has
adjourned at Mahonay City to meet one
year hence at Minersville. A resolution
proposing an amendment to the consti-
tuition increasing the initiation fee from
So to $40 was adopted after hot discus
sion. Each local will, however, have
discretionary power AS to which of
these amounts shall prevail.
The eight-hour work-day was endors-
ed and the card inspection question was
referred to the national convention,
with recommendation that system of
card examination, applicable to the
entire organization, be adopted.
1t was also decided to establish a jun
ior auxiliary among the slate pickers
and boys employed about the mines, or
ganizng them into locals of their own.
The initiation fee was fixed at 50 cents
and bi-monthly dues at 25 cents.

School Vacation Extended.

Directors Bell, Brogan, Buckley,
Kelly, McCole, McGeehan and Purcell
attended special meeting of the
borough school board last evening.
The meeting was called to take action
on the teachers request that the holi-
day vacation be extended from January
. to January 6.
1t was represented that, owing to
there being only two school days in the
week after New Years Day. the at
tendance would decrease on these DAYS.
The fact that hundreds of the pupils
are being vaccinated was also taken
into consideration, and the extension
would probably give them an oppor-
tunity to recover from the effects.
The board decided unanimously to
grant the teachers request, and the
re-opening date was made January g.
On account of the next regular meet
ing night coming on January /, legal
holiday, the members decided to meet
in regular session on Thursday evening,
January .

TROLLEY CARS
NARROW ESCAPE
Terrible Accident Averted
Last Evening.
Passengers on a Traction
Car Jump to Escape Being
Run Down by a L.ehigh
Valley Train.

A Lehigh Traction Company car
escaped destruction by few inches at
the Lehgh Valley station on South
Centre street last evening.
1t crossed the railroad tracks barely
in time to avoid being struck by Engine
No. 400, drawing the 720 o'clock train
from Wiikesbarre and the West.
The trolley car was on its way from
Hazleton and was due here at 7.45 p IN.
just before reaching the railroad tracks
at the station the car stopped.
Conductor Wolf, as is the custom,
went forward, looked up and down the
tracks, and seeing no railroad train,
signaled the mororman to proceed.
The car, which was crowded with
passengers, started again, and was half
way across when the snow underneath
the wheels caused it to suddenly halt
AT this moment the whistle Of the
overdue passenger train was heard at
Highland crossing, and the crowd of
people at the station realized that a
frlghtful catastrophe was imminent.
The motorman threw on additional
power, but still the car refused to clear
the railroad. The wheels revoived rap
idly, but could not get grip on the icy
rails.
In the meantime the passenger train
was rushing onward, the curve, hill and
darkness obscuring the trolley car from
the engineers vision.
Believing the trolley car was doomed
to destruction Conductor Wolf called to
the passengers to jump, and both ends
of the car were opened. In less time
than it takes to tell, the car was
empted.
AS the last passenger cleared the
ed into view. The motorman, who was
vainly trying to start the car, suddenly
succeeded in gripping the rails and the
car started onward, clearing the rail
road track by few inches as the train
thundered past.
1t was the most thrilling escape ever
witnessed at this dangerous crossing,
which is just outside the borough limits,
and intense excitement prevailed among
the onlookers.
The passengers, without exception.
were thoroughly frightened, and two,
Miss Lizzie Sippel and Miss Jacquot,

Lloyd will Have to Paw.

The paying of S1,29O for detective
fees in the Demario murder case in Free
land by Controller Lloyd is likely to
give somebody some trouble. The Tax
payers Association, finding that such an
exhorbitant sum was paid for little or no
work, took the matter in hand and now
promises to have the bill returned to
the county commissioners, who in turn
wifi have to enter surcharge against
Controller Lloyd.
In the opinion of persons who ought
to know, $s1 would have covered the
expenses of the stool pigeon, who sat
with Capece in his cell, and by paying
that sum the rate was very high

Held Up in Germany.
From the Wilkesbarre Record.

From the Wnkesbarre Record.
August Haug, an employe of the
Standard Anti-Fricton Equipment Com
pany, of Wilkesbarre, who recently
returned from a visit to his father in
Germany, had an unpleasant experience
with the military authorities of that
country His father is a resident of
Alsace- Lorraine, portion of the Ger
man empire since the Franco-Prussian
war. Haug was over 21 years of age
and for over ten years had been resi-
dent of this country. Recently his
mother died at the old home and her
death gave him longing to again see
the scenes of his boyhood. He started
on the trip on September 12 and three
days before leaving he took out natural
izaton papers.
After landing in Germany he was
compelled according to the regulations,
to report the nature of his visit to the
authorities. The mayor, to whom he
went to report, directed him to the Of
nclal In charge oil the small town. He
was closely questioned by this official
and not having passport, the sus-
picions of the authorities were aroused,
the latter believing that he was not an
American citizen and therefore, amend
able to the German military law com
pellng every young man to serve in the
army a certain period.
He showed his naturalization papers,
but the officials he was dealing with
could not read English and they paid
no attention to them. He feared the
jig was up and could see before him
visions of long service in the army of
the Kaiser.
He sent for his brother, who appealed

him to the consul at Cassell. After
