TROLLEY CARS COLLIDE.

A head-on collision occurred be.
low Barton's bridge last Thursday
afternoon by which seven persons
were injured. The Danville and
Bloomsbury car was coming up,
and the Columbia and Montour car
going down. BY some error in the
block signal both cars got into the
block, and were running at full
speed at point where an old build
ing obstructs the view. When the
cars came in sight of each other
they were too close to avoid a col
lision.
The injured persons were all on
the c. & NJ. car. They are: Chas,
Stahl, motorman; Alonzo Fegley,
Catawissa; F. B. Singley, Anthony
Thomas, S. L. Harlacher, Beaver
township; Frank Fox and Harold
Erwin, Catawissa. None of them
were seriously hurt. The front end
of both cars was badly smashed.

ITALIANS CONVICTED.
Fort,,nando Calibro and his broth

Fortunando Calibro and his broth
er Antonio were convicted in court
on Wednesday under an indictment
charging them with extorting mon
ey by threats, conspiracy, selling
liquor without license, and keeping
a bawdy house. They are the
leaders of the gang of desperadoes
who have been terrorizing West
Berwick and Briar Creek for some
time past.
Seven other men were discharged
on a nolle prosequi, there being no
evidence to hold them.
Jacco Frank was convicted of
carrying concealed deadly weapons.
District Attorney Small conduct
ed the commemorative case, and
the prisoners were defended by
Fred Ikeler, John G.. Harman, A.
w. Duy aud Jas. L. Evans, Esqs.
The prisoners were brought in
chained together, and large crowd
was assembled in the court room to
hear the trial.
The evidence was such that the
jury had no difficulty in promptly
agreeing upon verdict.
SENTENCES PRONOUNCED.
On Thursday morning the con-
victed Italians were brought before
the court, and sentences were i'm
posed as follows:
On Fortunando Calibro, on sew
eral counts, fine Of $500, costs OF

BLACK HANDLERS.
JaiIs Hereabouts Arc Full OF Them.

The Black Handlers are not only
furnishing a large amount of copy
for the printers of this section, but
are supplying the jails with large
number of prisoners, thanks to the
activity of the State Constabulary.
The Sunbury Jail has a contingent
of about twenty-five of the foreign
thugs, and with twenty-eight pris-
oners now confined in the Columbia
county Jail Sheriff Ent has about as
big houseful or, more correctly
speaking, jailful, as that county has
had in many a month. And what
is more there is domiciled there two
alleged kings" of Black Hand ar
lists, a distinction that few jails en-,
JOY. Nicholas Gedro, the supposed
leader of the Marion Heights band,
is locked up i'll the cell here medi-
tating on the error OF his way III
trying to escape, and by reason
thereof is unable to talk the thing
over with Fortunate Calabra, the
leader of the supposed West Ber-
wick gang. AS to whose methods
are the best there is, therefore, no
chance of determining. 1t is an
entirely different bunch of Black
Handlers who now occupy berths in
the Columbia county Jail from those
who entered the other night. Then
they were particular to impress
Sheriff Ent with the fact that he
should go to no trouble whatever to
accommodate them; that they were
there only for the night and would
without the least doubt get all the
bail they wanted the next morning.
Him p remarked a knowing pris.
oner. "You will find it great
deal easier to get in here than out"
The Briar Creek bunch have so
found. The counties that have
been terrorized by the Black Hand
miscreants have reason to feel re-
lieved by the active measures taken
for their suppression and may hope
that the time is not far distant
when they will be as extinct as the
Molly Maguires.

TELEPHONE COMPANY PICNIC.

The annual outing of the Peoples
Ideal Telephone company, which
has gotten to be one Of the largest
and most popular picnics that is
held in this section, took place Sat-
urday at Billmeyer's park near
Washingtonville. 1t was a most
enjoyable day from beginning to
end, everything combining to add
to the pleasure.
Those in charge of the affair es-
timated that there were at least
$500 people on the grounds, and
they came from all over the coun-
try-from Millville, Bloomsbury,
Buckhorn and Jerseytown on the
one side and from Milton, Watson
town and Turbotville on the other
and from all over the intervening
country they came, until in some
places the countryside appeared de-
serted.
Two bands, those from Exchange
and Buckhorn, furnished music for
the occasion, and furnished it in
large quantities. Other amuse,
ments were a base ball game be-
tween Kaseville and Washington
vile, and other games indigenous
to the picnic. And then too the
woods were full of good things to
eat, which added not little to the
delight.
The officers had on exhibition
the company's charter recently
procured from the State, and also
stock certificate, one of which will
soon be issued to each subscriber.

Claude Houck VS.. Alice M.

The first case called was that OF
Commonwealth VS.. w. w. Seybert
of Briarcreek township who was
accused of shooting Robert Knouse
on the morning of April 2, 1907
with intent to kill.
Seybert's contention was that the
prosecutor had been stoning his
house about O'Clock in the morn
ing and that he had shot out the
window to scare him away and
with no intent to hurt much less to
kill him. The jury took this view
of the case and returned a verdict
Of not guilty.
The next case was Common
wealth VS.. Joseph and Paul Hite.
This was a case from West Ber-
wick. Their boarding house keeper
was prosecutor. He contended that
the Hites assaulted him with intent
to kill while the defendants assert
ed with equal positiveness that the
attack was begun by the prosecu-
tor. All were foreigners and the
evidence was taken through an
interpreter. The jury acquitted
the defendants.

SUCCESSFUL SEASON

The Fulton Stock Company ended
its 1907 summer season last Saturday
evening, playing to house crowded to
the limit The standing room only
sign was placed early, and several
hundred people were disappointed be-
cause they could not get in. 1t was
house well calculated to please the
management of the theater and Mr..
Fulton and his company, for it was
composed of warm friends and ad-
mirers of the excellent troupe of play
ers who all summer have worked hard
to amuse the public. Without excep-
ton the actors were applauded un.
stinted, the largest measure going to
the sweet little woman who heads the
company-Miss Enid Jackson other
wise Mrs. Jess B. Fulton. Persistent
applause brought the little lady to
the footlights for a short speech to
the audience in which she thanked
them for their Kindness, and ex-
pressed the hope all would be as
happy for year as they had made
her that night
Preceding the closing act, Mr.. Full
ton essayed a talk, thanking the pub,
lie in behalf of the manager of tbs
theater and of the company for their
good patronage and appreciation of
the work they had done during the
twelve weeks past. and promising to
come back next summer. He then
had each individual member of the
company respond with a speech.
1t was a glorious farewell engage
| ment, and the actors appreciated it
immensely.

Over 80 per cent of all those thrown
out of work by strikes were males and
only 9.43 per cent females. In lock-
outs S418 per cent of the employees
thrown out of work were males and
1882 per cent females.
Duration Of Strikes.
The average duration of strikes per
establishment was 25.4 days and of
lockout 84.6 days. The strike or lock-
out does not, of course, always result
in the closing of the establishments
involved, but 61.3S per cent of all es-
Establishments involved, or 111,343,
were closed an average of pol days.
In lockouts, 6S.25 per cent of all es-
tablishments involved, or 1858. were
closed an average of 4O.4 days.
Industries Most Affected.
The greatest number of strikes in
any one industry was in the building
trades, which had 26.O2 per cent of all
establishments involved in strikes. In
the coal and coke industry were 9.08
per cent of all strikes and 9.39 per
cent of all establishments involved in
strikes. This latter industry had
more employees thrown out of work by
strikes than any other industry. The
I.ri1 frod n nrdo ar
in both these respects, with the mems
clothing and iron and steel industries
next In lockouts the building trades
led all other industries, having 16.49
per cent of all lockouts. more than
one-half of all the establishments in.
volved, and about 80 per cent of all
employees locked out and of persons
thrown out of work.
States Most Affected.
Employees and employers who are
concentrated in the great industrial
states are more prone to engage in
strikes and lockouts than those
throughout the country generally.
Thus the five statesmen York.
