day in the interests of the determined
fight that has been instituted By the
State against the San Jose scale Mr..

Mr.. Briukerhoff is thoroughly ao.
quainted with the subject of San Jose
scale, and talked very Interestingly
about it yesterday. He said that the
scale was brought to this country on
some Japanese plumi about twelve
years ago, and gained its first foot hold
in California. From thence it came TO
New Jersey and siuce then it has
spread throughout PenusY lvauia.
The southern nOItiuns of the State
are infested with it the worst, the
quantity of the scale growing less to-
ward the north. The scale, however,
is spreading rapidly, and millions of
dollars worth of fruit, fruit trees, or
namental trees and shurbbery have
been destroyed in Pennsylvania dur
ing recent years. The pest is so in
conspicuous that ii has destroyed
ing the cause Of the trouble. 1t can
be detected only by an expert or by
one who has seen it, and it can be sue

CHRISTIAN LOEH
BADLY INJURED

As the result of very painful in
jury caused by red hot bar of iron
ploughing through the flesh at the
calf of his leg Christian Loeb, boss
roller at the Structural Tubing Work.
lies bedfast at his home on Church
street
The accident is a very bad one, as
aside from the laceration the action
of the hot hon on the wound is such
as to seriously delay healing. The
flesh including the muscles was sever
ed in to the region of the bone, al.
though the doctors believe that the
bone itself is not injured
Mr.. Loeb was seen by representa-,
tive of the Morning News Saturday
evening and he told how it happened.
1t was an accident for which he pure
ly was responsible alone. Prepara-
tions were being made Saturday morn
ing. he said, for changing rolls aud a
new roll had just been brought down
to the spot Mr.. Loeb was busy with
this roll and in giving some directions
took couple of steps backward in
front of red-hot bar of iron. which
at that moment shot through the rolls.
1t struck his left leg at the fieshy part
below the knee laying the flesh open
/ n n
Bile injury may be formed when it is
explained that the hot bar, which was
one of four inches by three -sixteenths
of an inch. upon coming III contact
with Mr.. Loeh's leg was bent upwards
by the force of the blow.
The injured man reelei over to
bench and proceeded to examine his
leg, the sickening flow of blood at once
indicating the extent of the injury.
Mr.. Loeh was carried by his fellow
workmen over to the milwright's
quarters, where at his own direction
his limb WAS tightly bandaged TO stop
the flow of blood.
In short time DR.. Curry responded
to hurry call and after temporarily
dressing the wound, drove Mr.. Loeb
to his home on Church street, where
later DR.. r. S. Patton was called to
assist. TIE wound was stitched as
we'll as it could be under the circum.
stances and Saturday night and yester-
day the man was resting fairly well.
No serious complications are looked
for but just what the full effects of
the injury may be it is a little too
early to predict.
Mr.. Loeb has been au iron worker
for forYthree years; nine years of
this time he was employed in Ger.
many. In this long period he has sus-
tanned many injuries as are attested
by the numerous scars that may be
seen on his stalwart frame. He &C
knowledges. however, that the present
injury, is the worst that he ever sus-
tained.

GEO, MARSHALL'S
TERRIBLE PLIGHT

George Marshall, who resides on
Railroad street, near the Borough line,
late Saturday night was found lying
close to the big spring near the d. l..
& w. station in state Of semi-Con-
sciousness, with his face covered with
blood and suffering from the effects of
other injuries of a serious nature.
Most people believed that he was
victim of foul play until Sunday
morning when his hat was found ly-
ing On the high p. & r. trestling i'm
mediately above that spot, indicating
that while attempting to cross be fell
to the ground a distance of some thirty
feet.
He was discovered about 10 80
O'Clock Saturday night. William Rit-
ter, Jr., Railroad street, while re-
turning home heard some one groan-
ing in the vicinity of the big spring.
He informed his father of the fact and
the latter started out to investigate.
Arriving at the spring he found the
man still groaning and not wholly
conscious. He repaired to the house
of Wesley DeShay, D. L. & W. avenue,
and reported what had occurred. Mr.
DeShay lighted a lantern and the two
men returned to the spring. The in
jured man was unrecognizable owing
to the blood which was clotted about
his face and lie could not tell any
thing about himself.
The news soon reached Eugene Moy
er's hotel, opposite the d. l.. q W.
station, aud several men at once went
over to the spring to lend assistance.
The injured man was carried over to
the station and placed upon the bag
gage truck. DR.. Stock was called and |
pending his arrival the man was car
ried into the hotel and placed on a |
cot. He was conscious for moment |
at time. He recognized a couple of |
persons, but instantly lapsed into in
sensibil:ty and no satisfactory answer
could be obtained to the questions.
Despite the most diligent search his
hat could not be found anywhere near
the spring, which was regarded as a
singular circumstance.
At the physician 5 advice about mid
night the man was removed to his
home His injuries were found to con-
sist of broken pelyis, badly sprain
ed wrist, besides several cuts about
the face DR.. Stock said Sunday
that the injury to the pelvis is quite
5 rious, not due so much to the broken
bone alone as to the complications
that might ensue.
The injured man is a puddler en-
ployed at the Structural Tubing plant
he is thirty odd years of age and has
4 wife and two children.
Wesley DeShay had a theory that
The man sustained his injury by fall
ng from the high p. q II. trestling
which crosses the d. L. e W. railroad
At the spring. To satisfy himself af
.er daylight Sunday morning he
climbed the tTestlIng and there sure
enough he found the missing hat,
which lay on the platform beside the
rack forming the roof of the coal
1ins. The hat lay on a spot immedi-
ltely above where the man was found.
which settles the question as to how
The injuries were sustained. Under
he most favorable circumstances the
nan will be confined to his home for
many weeks.

a HAPPY FAMILY PARTY.
Children and Grandchildren Of Mrs.
Saben Honor Her 9th Birthday.

A Very pleasant reunion took place
Thursday. ut the nome of David Lamp
SON South State street, the occasion be-
ing the 18th birthday of Mrs. Cynthia
Sabcn. There were present three
SONS, two daughters, three Eraidchil-
drcn ana one great -grandchild as fol-
lows: Mr.. and Mrs. John Saben of Con-
cord, y. H.; Mr.. and Mrs. Shas Sabcn
and Master Percy. Mr.. and Mrs. Ira
Sabcn ana daughter Doris. and Mrs.
Sarah Ray, all of Augusta; Mr.. and

ana Master Richard of Cambridge,

David Lampson and his daughter, Mrs.
Dan S. Berry of Watervllc. The sons
unable to be present were Linwood of
South China. Fred of Leominstcr,
Mass, and Ernest of Concord, n. ii.
1t was a happy occasion as this
family is an unusually devoted one in
every sense of the word, each one en-
JOying with the other in loving kind
ness to the mother who in early life as
well as in later years has done so
much for them. Mrs. Sabfn since the
death of her husband some years ago,
has resided with her son. Ira, on the
east side Of the river, and as her son
Charles also resides within a few rods,
she busieS herself going from ono
house to the other aiding her two
daughters in law in their household
duties. III quilt and rug making she
is an expert, and it is very doubtful
if any of the younger generation can
accomplish more work in the same
time or any better than can this active
old lady. She has taken long trips
bcrryinE during the present summer
and has within Il week or so walked
from the home of her son to the HALL
DWELL line and after a rest with her
daughter Mrs. Ray. continued to the
home Of Mrs. Harvey on Grcrnvillc
