EQUITY CASE POSTPONED.
Successful Attack Made on the Plain
tiff's Bill.

The equity case brought by Peter
Beers, of Jefferson township. against
Clarence Woodruff and others. TO re-
strain the defendants taking culm from
the plaintiffs land, was called for a
hearing before Judge Kelly, Saturday,
but a successful attack. on the regu-
larity of the plaintiffs bill caused a
continuance until Monday. July IA.
The defendants recently began to
drive across the plaintiffs land and
take away the culm, to which they
claim ownership by purchase. The
plaintiff sought an injunction to re-
strain them from doing this, alleging
that they had no right to cross his
land, and further, that the culm be-
longed to him, it having been given him
by the Pennsylvania Coal company
years ago in payment of a claim.
Major Warren contended that as both
parties claim the property the matter
of title would have to be settled by a
jury. In this Judge Kelly agreed
The matter Of the right of way to the
dump was left to be brought up in an
amended bill, one week from today.

District Board Member Stephen Reap,
Of the United Mine Workers. who creat-
ed sensation, one week ago yester-
day by leading bolt of the strikers
and their sympathizers from st. Pat
rick's church. Olyphant, because Of the
presence of Fire Boss Charles Beatty, Il
none-unlonist, now makes public apoi-
ogy for his conduct.
The following letter written by him
was read yesterday at all the masses
in st. Patrick's church:
"In the reports of last Mondays pa
pers 1t was stated that 1 requested
Father Murphy to eject Mr.. Beatty
from the church Now Father Murphy
was not in the church at the time, as
the incident occurred before the SER
vices began. However, I did inform
the people Of Mr.. Beattys presence and
said that he was unfair to organized
labor. For certain reasons 1 was SO en-
ragged at the time that 1 forgot myself
and the place where was. Now I
fully realize my mistake, and knowing
the sensation, and perhaps scandal,
that has been created by my conduct
in st. Patrick's Catholic church at Oily
phant last Sunday, deem 1t duty in
cumbent upon me to apologize for my
conduct and hope that all persons will
forgive my offense.
stephen Reap,
"Olyphant, Pa"
1t is understood that Reap has per-
sonally expressed deep regret and due
apology to Rev. p j. Murphy, the pas
tor Of the church. and that Father
Murphy Is desrOus he shall be treated
with all charity.

KILLED HIS COMPANION.
Sad Effect of a Shot Accidentally
Fired by Young Seembach-Lat-
ter Gave Himself UP.

Joseph Hornbeck, an 11-year-old boy
who lived with his mother at COS Elm
street, was accidentally shot through
the heart and killed. Saturday after
noon, by his friend, Michael Steinbach,
of 1923 Pittston avenue. Steinbach, who
is 10 years of age, was held without
bail, by Magistrate Howe, yesterday
morning in police court, to await
further developments.
The mother of the dead boy is con-
WINGED, however, that the shooting was
accidental, and will not prosecute. Coro-
ner j. +. Saltry will hold an inquest
this morning, at his Office. The shoot
ing took place near the swimming pool
at No. dam, on the banks of Meadow
Brook.
The boys had left their homes early
in the afternoon for a swimming jaunt.
The other members Of the party were
all older than Hornbeck, and he was
supposed to be in charge of Steinbach.
After 9 o'clock in the afternoon, the
boys began shooting birds, taking al
ternate shots. When it was Steinbach's
turn, he climbed the bank of the Rapid
Transit road, and as he gained the
level, turned towards the other boys,
and began to load his rife.
The muzzle of the weapon was pointed
at Horpbeck, who stood about six feet
distant. Steinbach inserted a 22-short
cartridge. He closed the breech, and as
he attempted to carefully lower the
hammer, it suddenly snapped. There
was an explosion, and little Hornbeck
fell to the ground, with shrek.
He died shortly afterwards. The boys
with him claim that they had difficulty
in finding place to which to take the
boy before he died, and that they were
driven from an empty shed of the
Enamel Stone company, where they
carried him. Steinbach, pale and calm,
but evidently suffering great distress
at the terrible deed he had unwittingly
done, surrendered to Detective Robert
Deter, at police headquarters.
Coroner Saltry performed no autopsy,
but declared that from all external ap-
pearances and the suddenness of death,
the bullet must have lodged in the boys S
heart.

SCRANTON BOYS ARE WINNERS.
Four Ex-Y. M. g. A. Players in One
Game at st. Louis.

This city is not only widely known as
an industrial centre, but its sons Of the
diamond are being heard from wher-
ever the national game of base ball is
being played.
At st. Louis, on Saturday, four of the
boys, who at one time or another
played on the Y. NJ c. A. team, We're
in the game, two with the New York
Giants and two with the ST. Louis
Browns, of the National league.
John and Michael O'Neill were the
battery on one side, while Chrlsty
Mathewson and "Jack" Dunn were in
the box and on third base, respectively,
for the other side. The game was one
of the finest exhibitions of base ball
ever played on any diamond, the score
being 10 in favor of the st. Louis
team.
O'Neill outpointed Mathewson, al
though the "Plow Boy from Factory
ville' pitched a splendid game. In the
nine innings which New York had, but
thirty-two men faced O'Neill, while
twenty-six faced Mathewson in eight
innings. The only run made during the
game was on a wild pitch by Mathew
son, who had two such marks to his
credit, with three bases on balls, and
three strike-outs to his credit, allow
ing but six hits in the game.
O'Neill gave but one pass to first,
struck out four men, allowed but five
hits, and received perfect support.
Mathewson fielded his position perfect
ly, having five assists, while Jack"
O'Neill had seven put-outs to his credit
during the game.
Both these pitchers played on the Y.
M. c. A. team at Easton four years ago
July and each won their game. Among
the other players in the game at st.
Louis on Saturday, who have appeared
in Scranton, We're Smoot. Barclay and
Hartman, of the Browns. and Bodie,
Jones, Smith, o'Hagan and Wagner. of
the Giants.

BEN is AGAIN DEFEATED.
Appeared as Attorney for His Som
in-Law,

Louis Harr, white, son-in-law Of Ben
Johnson, colored, was before Magistrate
Millar Saturday, charged with the theft
of iron from the Marshwood colliery.
Harr was earnestly defended by his il
lustrious father-in-law, but his every
argument failed as ignominiously as
that with which he one time tried to
convince Alderman Kasson that mas
much as the law did not prescribe how
a dog should be muzzled, dog was leg
ally muZzled even when the muzzle was
appended TO the dogs tail.
Harr was held in $500 bail for court.
Charles p. Ford, superintendent of the
coal company, appears as prosecutor.

MAY MAKE A CHANGE.
Possibility That D., L. and w. Will
Locate It's Freight Station on
Mates Street.

Arrangements have been perfected by
Director of Public Works John L.
Roche with representatives of the
Rapid Transit company and the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western Rail
road company for the grading and paw
Ing Of Mates street, and there now
appears to be strong possibility that
the latter company will move it's freight
station to that street, after the inn
provements have been completed
The Lackawanna's present quarters
are too limited, and it is known fact
that intentions have long been enter
tanned of building a new station. Re-
Gently, a representative of the transit
company, which will have it's passen-
ger station on Mates street, called
upon Mr.. Roche and in formeS him that
his company was willing to assist in
having the street properly graded, and
added that they wished it paved with
something other than cobbles, and were
also willing to do their share in bear
ing the brunt of the expense incurred
in this way.
He indicated that he understood the
Lackawanna was willing to pay half
the expense, and that this was particu-
larly likely, as they intended to build
n freight station there, to take the
place of their present freight house.
Chief Engineer w. x. McFarlin, of
the Lackawanna, later saw Mr.. Roche
and stated the company's willingness
to pay one-half the total expense.
Superintendent II. Il. Clarke, Of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad company, was seen by a
Tribune man yesterday, and while he
did not directly affirm the report, ad-
mitted that change will be made in
the local freight handling facilities.
"Our present station" said he, sis far
too cramped for the business we are
handling, but it isn't likely that we
will make a change this year. I couldn't
say just where we will have our new
station. 1t depends largely, of course,
upon the location of the car shops"
