AUTO IN AN ACCIDENT.

An Odd Encounter in Which No One

Special to The Journal.
Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 24.-An odd au
tomobile accident happened last night, in
which the Grand avenue bridge played an
important part. This bridge is one Of the
bascule variety, which splits in the CEN
ter and the two halves rise in the air.
Theodore Jonas Of the Jonas Automo
bile company was coming east on Grand
avenue in his auto. With him was G. F.
Batty of Philadelphia. They did not heed
the warning ring of the bridge bell or the
frantic motion of Officer Falch and ran
upon the bridge just as it started to rise
The weight of the automobile kept the
west half of the bridge down. The east
half rose and the machine ran into it..
Jonas was thrown out over the DASH
board and landed on his face on the other
side Of the bridge, which was still rising.
1t had reached such an attitude that he
slid down the incline like boy down q
cellar door and landed in a heap at the
bottom. =. ......-.s. ....., s.
The automobile and Mr. Batty remained
on the other side and it took ten men
to push 1t off the bridge so that the other
half could be opened to let the steamer
thru. The men were arrested. They were
both unhurt and convinced Lieutenant
Miller that they did not understand the
officer when he told them to stop.

Duluth Company Which Is Doing

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Fergus Falls, Mimi, Aug. 24.-Reports
from the coal country north Of Pelican
Rapids are to the effect that several shafts
have been sunk in different places, and
coal has been found in every instance, the.
veins being about three feet in thickness.
The coal is of the Ignite variety, but OF a;
good, quality. r.E.,sz
The announcement that coal had been
discovered caused some excitement here
year or two ago, but very little has been
heard Of the matter lately, and 1t was
generally, supposed that the prospecting
had been abandoned until the blowing up
Of an engine and the serious scalding Of
called attention to the fact that work was
still In progress.
There is difference Of opinion as to
whether 1t will pay to mine coal Of this
thickness at the depth at which it is being
found, but some Of the mining experts
hold that it will pay well. The Duluth
company which is pushing the exploration
has recently compelled all of the men who
enter its employ to take an oath to keep
still about the discoveries.

the Minnie Healy decision. The offer of
$3.50, 900 was acknowledged by Shores and
Clark, but they maintained that it was
not as a bride to secure the Minnie Healy
decision. as 1t already had been awarded
to Heinze, but to secure from Harvey
confession that he had been bribed by
Heinze in awarding the property to him.
Charles Clark, in an affidavit. declared
his part in the proceedings was to dis
credit Heinze in political way, as Heinze
was trying to unseat his father in the
senate and usurp the leadership of the
democratic party in Montana.
The trial of the disbarment case brought
to light the intoxicated condition Of Judge
Harvey at times when the Minnie Healy
case was being heard and upon the
strength Of the testimony as to the rela-
lions Of Harvey with Mrs. Brackett the
supreme court considered the jurst's con-
duct censurable and remanded the Minnie
Healy case for retrial. e@

FAMOUS REFORMER DEAD
John Foley, WhosBroke Up Tweed
~ Ring, Is No More. -. H.

New York, Aug. 24.-John Foley, New
York's pioneer reformer who brought the
Fallows injunction suit which ended in the
rout of the Tweed ring, is dead, after
lingering illness. His health was shat
tered twenty years ago by his persistent
fight for good government.
Foley. who was a pen manufacturer
had an interesting career. Beginning
with his election as a supervisor in 1869,
he started a single-handed fight against
BOSS Tweed and did not let up until
the famous ring was swept away.
After his fight against the ring he be-
came recognized as. a formidable foe to
municipal corruption. He became a suf-
ferer from nervous troubles, but he fought
all his battles to a successful issue until
i'll health finally took him out of the po-
litical arena. He was born in Ireland in
1884 and came to this city while a, bow.

CHAPEL IS HAUNTED
Strange Tale Of Ghostly Visitations
From York, Penn.

New York Sun Special Service.
York. Pa, Aug. 24.-Until three years ago,
when by an order from Rome, the Conawagi
Catholic chapel, in the township Of the same
name in Adas county. was discontinued as a
Jesuit mission, which it had been for 1870
years, and made a parish church Of the Har-
risburg diocese, it was little heard of out
side the religious world save in connection
with its historical associations.
Now the ancient chapel, so long an abode
Of the Jesuit brothers, is reputed to be
haunted and the ghostly tales being told
Of 1t by tho country folk are not without
foundation.
The Rev. Father Ha1ftermyer, the priest
in charge Of the chapel, himself tells Of the
midnight visitations of an apparation and
strange rappings. These spectral visits and
the rappings have occurred more or less reg
ularly since the abandonment of the chapel
by the Jesuits. The frequent change Of its
rectcrs and assistants since then is thus ap-
psrently explained.
Father Halftermyer, who las been the rec
tor for more than year, has found it i'm
possible to keep an assistant for any length
Of time. Ia $3.50
