HANGS BY TEETH,
AFIRE IN MIDAIR
Aerial Acrobat in Slide for
Life" Aflame Before Spec
tators.

New Haven, Aug. 31.-Harry Cross
key, an aerial acrobat, hung by
his teeth, sixty feet in midair, last
night, while flames burned off his hair
and his clothing and ate into his arms
and legs. The sight Of the terrible &C
cident created a panic at the White
City, Savin Rock, where Crosskey s
"slide for life as a human torch y
has been the feature Of the vaudeville
performance this week.
Every night the man has slid, sus-
pended by his teeth, from a wire
stretched from high tower to the top
Of the chutes. Over his shoulders fol
the 350foot slide has been thrown an
asbestos cloak, covered by mesh wire
net, holding waste, upon which was
poured gasolene.
AS this was set on fire Crosskey slid
the distance, the flames being blown
from his face by his flight. ?
His wire stuck last night, and he was
kept ten minutes in midair. The flames
inflicted torturing injuries, but he knew
that to drop would be sure death, SC
that he was forced to let the flames
burn themselves out before he was
rescued. He will recover, but will be
off the vaudeville stage the rest Of the
season.

Magistrate Is Told Of Phosphor.
escent Cat That Vanishes y
Like Smoke.

Pottsville, Pa, Aug. 81 Magis-
trate Shane succeeded in settling am
icably case brought by one neigh
Dor against another, of which an &C
cusation of witchcraft was the basis
Mrs. Cora Hiney had accused Mrs.
Mary Leib, a, neighbor, with having
brought about the death of her in
FAINT thru the Vaccinations of witch
craft. It was shown during the hear
ing that the defendant, Mrs. Leib,
possesses a white cat and a black dog.
According to Mrs. Hiney's statement,
these animals are possessed OF the
evil one, and they are capable of com
hitting terrible things when under
the spell of the owner.
Up until three weeks ago the wom-
en- were fast friends. Then the child
of Mrs. Hiney died, and the mother
worried and ,gbrooded over it's loss.
She became Impressed with the idea
that death was due to witchcraft, and
that her neighbof and friend was the
cause. She talked the matter over
with other neighbors, and they re-
counted number of uncanny things
that had taken place in the vicinity
which they attributed to the dog and
cat.
| Among the remarkable scenes that
these superstitious people are alleged
| TO have Witnessed is that late at nj gh t
these animals of Mrs. Leib were seen
! emitting a phosphorescent glow from
their bodies. The cat was capable of
crying like a child.
It was alleged at the hearing that
when persons made an investigation
of the supposed cry of distress, the
/ cat would laugh like a human being
| and then vanish away into space To
them many supernatural things had
occurred, and charms of many kinds
were used to keep away the spells
of the animals and Of Mrs. Leib.
/ The gossip came to Mrs. Leib's ears
and she brought suit, charging Mrs
Hiney with calling her a witch, which
was deemed a SANDER.
t Squire Shane, after hearing the ties

was in error, and she and Mrs. Leil
were sent away from his office in {
conciliated mood.

There is no denying the fact that

many Of them are thoroughly aroused
over the proposition to deliver con-
trol OF that Tintlc mine to the Lander's
syndicate for mere plttance, that Of
equlpplng the property with a milling
plant
At the present writing the indications
point very strongly that Mr.. Landers
and his associates viii be severely sat
down upon at the proper time and no
doubt he already realizes that he has
come in contact with such terrific OPP
position as to impress him with the
thought that his cause Is q lost one.
The adjourned meeting OF the stock
holders of the Star Con. company con.
yened at the appointed place at 10
o'clock this forenoon. Everyone pres
ent was prepared for battle and to set
tie once for all who is really In control
of the mine.
The credentials committee, consist
Ing of III. 5. Joseph, H. @. Mcmillan
and W. q, Bateman, reported that II
was unable TO make its report for the
reason that the stock ledger and trans.
fer books were In such shape that II
was impossible TO ascertain who the
stockholders OF the company are and
who was entitled to participate In the
deliberations. Mr.. Bateman wanted
the shareholders TO grant the commit
tee at least another week to complete
its work and report.
The Landers-Packard interests OPP
posed this and thought an adjournment
until Wednesday would be long enough.
The proposition made By ii, S. Joseph
to appoint W. j. Bateman, under pay,
10 assist Secretary A. o. Packard In
bringing his stock books up to date,
was also opposed, but the effort
was was OF no avail, and Mr.. Bateman
was appointed.
The Landers. Packard interests insist
ed on n stock vote, but Chairman II. II,
Booth declared this was impossible, as
the very thing they were trying to get
at was to find out who the stockholders
really are ana who Is entitled to vote.
The motion TO adjourn until next
Saturday morning, April %, at 10 o'clock,
was carried.
