CHRISTIAN Loeb
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 Works
lies edfast at his home ON Church
street.
| The accident is a very bad one, as
aside from the laceration the action
of the hot non 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 tsslf 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 and
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 M oment shot through the rolls
1t struck his left leg at the fleshy part
below the knee laying the flesh open
in to the bone. Some idea of the terri.
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 IN contact
with Mr.. Loeh's leg was bent upwards
by the force of the blow.
The injured man reoiei over to
bench and proceeded to examine his
leg, the sickening flow of blood at once
indicating the extent of the injury.
Mr.. Loeb was carried by his fellow
work men over to the millwright' s
quarters, where at his own direction
his limb was tightly bandaged to stor
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. The wound was stitched as
we'll as it could be under the ciroum-
stances and Saturday night and yester
day the man was resting fairly we'll.
No serious complications are looked
for but just what the full effects of
the injury may be it is little too
early to predict.
Mr.. Loeb has been au iron worker
for forty-three 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 ac-
knowledges. however, that the present
injury. is the worst that he ever sus.
tained

Guard smen Earn rledals.

The season for qualifying with rife
and revolver for the National Guard
of Pennsylvania closed on October 3lst.
Connected with the showing made by
Company f are some interesting facts
relating to long. term records, med als.
etc.
The local company held up the stand
ard of former years qualifying sixty
men as follows: One sharpshooter,
twenty marksmen, fifteen first class
men, twenty-four second class men.
Owing to failure of six men to uuali-
fy for various reasons the company's
figure of merit will be 67.s per cent.
The total score must be divided by the
whole number, &C, and not by 60. the
actual number qualifying. Thus it
will be seen to what extent the show
ing might have been improved had all
qualified. The officers are required to
qualify with revolver as we'll as with
rife.
Company f this year is fortunate in
having two men entitled to the ten
year gold medal. In order to win this
medal a man must have shot ten con-
secutive years. The two members of
the company who have complied and
have won the ten-year medal are
Quartermaster Sergeant George R.
Gross aud Private William II. Fry.
Lieutenant Frank Keefer has this
year earned fourteen-year pennant
that carries with it a distinction OF
having shot fourteen consecutive
years. Besides this years winners
there are only two members of the
company who have won ten years
med edals-Oaptain ]. Beaver Gearhsrt
and Sergeant William r. Watts.

COOK WINS OUT
FOR COMMISSIONER

Major O. P. Gearhart, Democrat,
wins ont for District Attorney, his
vote being 1858 as against 1047 for
Ralph Kisner, Republican, and pres
ent incumbent of the office.
Charles W. Cook, Repu blioan. won
out over Clarence W. Seidel. Demo.
crat The two candidates ran very
close and until yesterday morning
when the official returns we're brought
in the result was in doubt. Cook g
vote was 1915 and Seidel's 942, giving
the former majority of rs. George
NJ. Leighow, Democrat. and George
r. Seohler. Republican. we're elected
by a vote of 1887 and 1898 respective
ly. Persons familiar with af-
fairs about the Court House yester-
day were unable to recall a time be-
fore in the history of the County when
there were two Republicans on the
Board of County Commissioners.
Frank g. Blee, Democrat. was re-
elected Associate Judge with total
of 1868 votes. Cyrus f. Styers. the
Prohibition candidate, made a most
creditable run, considering that his
name did not appear on the ballot but
was merely inserted in the blank space
at the pleasure of the voter. He re-
ceived a total of 70 votes. Charles Ut
termiller and Asa d. Orossley, Pro-
hibition candidates for County Com
missioner received total of i9 and AZ
votes respectively.
]. H. Woodside Republican, for
County Auditor wins out with total
of 945 votes. Thomas VanSant and
Amandus Shultz, Democrats, for the
same office have 113l and 94l votes re-
spectively. Thomas B. Yerg and W..
II. Msup Ter, the Prohibition candidates
for County Auditor, made very good
run. polling 116 and 1876 votes respec-
lively.
The totals for the State offices as
presented in the revised table in this
| issue show some interesting figures.
Little Montour was undoubtedly a
factor in bringing about the landslide
| in favor of William H. Berry, the
Democratic candidate for State Treas
urer. the latter's vote here being l46l
as against j. Lee Plummer's 568. a
majority for Berry Of 1888. In 1904
Montour County gave a majority OF
! 1866 for Roosevelt over Parker.

Mr.. Lee was visibly affected at the
spectacle of the wreck, and near Shick-
shiuny his condition became SO serious
that physician was summoned to the
train.
Mr.. Lee arrived at Berwick few
minutes before five O'Clock, the train
being late. He got into the bus with
out aid, but lost consciousness while
being driven to the hotel. DR.. Pfahler
had been summoned but he could do
nothing for the unfortunate man. He

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 ID. l..
& W. station in state OF semi-con-
sciousness, with his face covered with
blood and suffering from the effects of
other injuries of 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. g. r. trestling i'm
mediately above that spot, Indicating
that while attempting to CROSS he fell
60 the grounds distance of some thirty
| teet
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.
e. 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 lantern and the two
men returned to the spring. The in
jured man was unacceptable owing
to the blood which was clotted about
his face and he could not tell any
thing about himself.
The news soon reached Eugene Moy-
er's hotel, opposite the D. l.. q W.
station, and 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 Dag
gage truck. DR.. Stock was called and
pending his arrival the man was car
Iied into the hotel and placed on a
cot. He was conscious for moment
at time. He recognized 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, vi hich was regarded as a
singular circumstance.
At the physicians s advice about mid.
night the man was removed to his
home. His injuries were found to con-
sist of a broken pelvis, badly sprain
ed wrist, besides several cuts about
the face. DR.. Stock said Sunday
that the injury to the pelvis is quite
serious, mot 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
wife and two children.
Wesley DeShay had theory that
the man sustained his injury by fall
ing from the high P. 81 r. trestling
which crosses the D. l.. & W. railroad
at the spring. To satisfy himself af-
ter daylight Sunday morning he
climbed tie trestllng and there sure
enough he found the missing hat,
which lay on the platform beside the
track forming the roof of the coal
bins. The hat lay ON spot immedi-
ately above where the man was found.
which settles the question as to how
the injuries were sustained. Under
the most favorable circumstances the
man will be confined to his home for
MANY weeks,

Will There Be q Coal Strike?

The question uppermost in the an
tharcite region is" Will there be strike
or lockout at the termination of the
present agreement between mine own
ers and mine workers on April |
next?"
The recent demonstration in honor
of John Mitchell Day had added to
the anxiety of business men, at least
in the upper region, according to
Scranton dispatch, and eau ied them
to regard the outlook with grave mis-
givings.
Meantime. all President Mitchell's
uttelances breath peace. In his speech
es he has expressed himself as hopefu
Of harmonious adjustment, and there
oan be no doubt that he sincerely de-
sires such a result, but it will depeud
entirely on two things. to wit. the
determination of the men in their de-
mand for an eight hour day and re-
copnition Of the union and the at
titude Of the mine owners toward this
proposition.
Should the men insist upon the ex-
eroise of this strength for the enforce
ment of their demand, and should
President Baer, of the Reading Com
pany, and his associates refuse to grant
that demand what then? The question
is one of even greater and more far
reaching interest than that which pre-
cipitated the strike of 1902, Cor the rea-
son that it will be raised at time
when the exciting contract will expire
In the anthracite and bituminous re-
gions. and nearly 500, 900 men engaged
In the product of coal will be ready
to make common cause.
This sense of po wer will be to gel
confidence and make it a-difficult mat
ter for Mitchell to recede even in case
he should desire to do SO for the puI
pose of averting a strike. The presi
dsnt of the Mine Workers enjoys thu
confidence of his supporters, Init >hoult
they feel that tie time is ripe for in

MISS DOLLY DOLLARS"

Miss Dolly Dollars" with Lulu Glaser in the leading role, Is a bright, sprankIing and clever, if a somewhat conventional musical comedy. The company has played two extended en- agreements in New York and the play ran last night with smoothness which unconscienciously places the audience at ease and renders situations impress sive and sayings fetching.
 There are. two personalities in the company, Miss Chaser and Mir. Herz. The former as Dolly Dollars" inter- prets her role very well, but there is often something missing which her lines and her situations would have you , believe she possesses. She is clever, though, as she always is, and when she steps upon the stage one is aware that someone has arrived. It is doubtful, nevertheless, that she is more than the equal of MT Herz as "Finney Doolit- tle." The moment the eye rests upon him one is satisfied. He has the rare quality of hunor by suggestion which is as effective as 1t is unusual. He creates an atmosphere about himself which is irresistible. It is not true to say that his appearance upon scene dwarfs all other characters, but he is certainly up to Miss Glaser In the pres ent play, and head and shoulders above any one else in the company.
 MT. Stewart in the role of Lord Bur lingham can be tolerated since he spends most of his time in the wings Still. this is due quite as much to his part as to his ability. His voice would justify role with more stongs than he is given.
 Charles Bradshaw, as Samuel Gay, a wealthy American, travelling in Europe, is the conventional type in that part. He has had so many predecessors that originality in the role is almost an i'm. possibility.
 Carrie Perkins as Mrs. Gay is not so good as host of others who have car- ried similar roles. She is not markedly inefficient, but just comes and goes with the audience neither glad nor sor- ry.
 MT. DeHaven as Guy Gay is as good as his imbecile part will allow him to be--a role in which sense is @ nuisanceI and brains and obstacle. He dancesI well, has not an unpleasant voice andl on the whole. makes favorable con-l tribution to the show
 Several minor parts, especially the men,. were well. filled. IT fact the, play

HyperIon Theafer.

The mere presence in this city of the son of Joseph Jefferson and his worthy successor, Thomas Jefferson, at the Hyperion Theatre Saturday afternoon and night as Rip Van Wrinkle should be regarded as matter of pride to the community. There is very muchthat is essentially American attached to Thomas Jefferson. He is directly con- nected and intimately associated with a great deal that is of extraordinary histrionic interest. Thomas Jefferson is of the fifth generation of actors in the Jefferson family. His great-great grandfather, Thomas Jefferson the First, was a famous English actor and the intimate friend of Garriek, Sam. Foote and Bar. He is said to have been remarkably handsome and social ly one of the most popular and bril- liant men of his time. His great grand father, the first Joseph Jefferson. was also famous actor, who achieved Ifame on the American stage. His grandfather, while not So famous, was a prominent actor and manager. His wife, the grandmother of Thomas lief fersen, was 8 brilliant and famous. ac- tress, and was the mother by former husband of Burke, the comedian. His father, the Joseph Jefferson of our time, was the nectar of the American stage, man beloved at home and abroad, a representative American actor, an ideal American citizen, man of exquisite culture and remarkable versatility, a writer, painter and most delicious speaker and actor, whose creations are so thoroughly imbued with feeling and characterized by such delicacq of touch, refinement of tone and artistic com
 pleteness as to insure for Thomas Jeff ferson a large and conspicuous place among American classics. Thomas Jefferson will attract, and those who desire to observe the operations of heredity will not regret their visit to once again see dear Rip Van Wrinkle as impersonated by efferson the fifth.
