HIS HEAD CUT OFF
DEAF MUTE. CHAS. BADER.
KILLED ON RAILROAD.
Body Hurled in Air and Found in Hor-
rible Condition-Children's
Aid Boarder. gi

Charles F. Bader. II years old, deaf
mute. lost his life yesterday afternoon
on the Frederick street bridge Of the
Central Railroad. when he was struck
by Engine No. 20e.
The "cowcatcher" threw the body
twenty feet in the air, and it fell di-
rectly upon the rails In front of the
engine, the wheels going over Bader's
neck, severing the head completely
from the body and mutilating the
trunk almost beyond recognition.
The body is at Mullins morgue, where
it was viewd by County Physician Eli
lott.
Bader was until recently an inmate
of the Home for the Deaf and Dumb at
Trenton. He obtained work in the
Johnston & Murphy shoe factory. and
boarded at the home of the Children's
Aid Society at 247 Mulberry street.
At the home of his brother, Louis
Bader. 164 East Kinney street, 1t was
learned that Bader's sister was in
precarious condition from the shock
received by hearing the news of her
brothers death. Mr.. Bader said that
he would take charge of the body.

ALLOWS WRIT OF
CERTlORARI IN
BLOCK LIGHT
Common Council Grant Of
Franchise Under Test by
Public Service.

Chief Justice Gummere in the SUI
preme Court circuit today allowed a
writ of eertiorari In the application OF
the Public Service Corporation to re-
view the action of the Common Coun-
Gil in granting a franchise to the New
ark Block Lighting Company for per-
mission to lay conduits in the centre
part of the city.
Application was first made by Frank
Bergen, general counsel Of the Public
Service Corporation, on May Ii, and
since renewed, and decision was re-
served until today.
In rendering his decision the Chief JUS
tice said today;
1.-The ground of the application being
that the power to grant these privileges
are by law vested exclusively in the Board
of Works or Board of Street and Water
Commissioners, / am not called upon to
determine, finally. whether that contention
Is well-founded or not 1t is sufficient for
the purpose of deciding this motion TO say
that 1t is at least very doubtful whether
the contention of counsel for the appli-
cant is not sound: that 1t is doubtful, to
say the least. whether this power does
not reside solely in the Board of Works
and whether the grant by the Board of
Aldermen is not entirely nugntory"

at $40 North Seventh street, at 2:30
o'clock this morning, while the priest
was asleep. Besides Father 9alsofski.
four children, the youngest l year old,
and the oldest 10 years. were in the
building at the time the lamp exploded.
The priest, assisted by Roundsman
Meyer. of the Fifth Precinct who hap
pened to be near by, carried the chill
dren to a lower room and prevented a
panic. The loss was trifiing.
Patrolman Husk was passing the
place when he saw a flash in the
priests room on the third floor, and
after calling the roundsman, who had
just left the vicinity, Husk turned in
an alarm. Roundsman Meyer broke in
the front door and aroused Father Bal
sofski. In scanty attire Father Balsof-
ski and the roundsman ran upstairs
for the children.
Policeman Husk hurried back to the
building after sending in the alarm and
ran upstairs to the burning room. He
grabbed a rug. and by welding II in
dustriously managed to beat out the
flames Just as the apparatus reached
the building. The children remained In
a front room with the priest during the
confusion.

and 1905.

all records in the nine years, the high

CHICAGO. July 6.--With his attor-

brother. William. John d. Rockefeller,
reputed to be the richest man in the
world. faced a Federal Court today.
The room was filled with attorneys and
spectators.
Immediately after the entrance of
Mr.. Rockefeller pandemonium broka
loose in the hallway. The crowd
pushed at the policemen, and the po-
lieemen, gasping and perspiripg, showed
back in desperate fashion. From
struggling with the police, members OF
the crowd soon turned upon each other,
and a few spontaneous punching
matches enliyened the already stren-
uous proceedings in the hall. So serious
did the situation become that Marshal
Hoy was compelled to telephone to
police headquarters for additional help.
The parallel of such a situation was

SHAME KILLED HIM
RICH PHYSICIAN COULDN'T
STAND PUBLIC RIDICULE.
Suicide of DR.. Hoy, of Pittsburg, At
tributed to Worthlessness of In
vention to Burn Ashes.

ALTOONA, Pa, July 6.-Unable to
bear up under the stress of failure, DR..
H. X. Hoy, one of the wealthiest men
in Altoona and a successful homeo-
pathic ear and eye specialist, COM
mitted suicide yesterday by swallow
ing the contents of bottle of carbolic
acid.
Six months ago it was announced
that John Gilmore, cobbler. of AL
toona, had discovered a process by
which he could make ashes burn. The
invention promised to revolutionize the
coal business. DR. Hoy had always
been a friend of Fillmore, and when
the latter needed money to bring his
invention to the attention of the pub
lie DIR. Hoy became associated with
him, and obtaining a half interest in
the invention, became its financial
backer. He became exceedingly enthu-
siastic over 1t. They gave the inven-
ton wide publicity. and Gilmore and
Hoy were invited to Pittsburg and
Washington to give tests. 1t did not
take the scientists long to declare that
the invention was a failure. In spite
of the fact that he was a learned ply
slcian, DR., Hoy would not admit that
he had been deceived by the cobbler.
His friends began to twit him unmer-
cifuly, and soon letters by the hun
dreds began to pour In from all parts
of the country ridlculing him.
Hoy failed rapidly in the last two
weeks. He declared to his friends that
his disgrace was complete, and that he
could never hold his head up again.
DR. Hey was 5s years old, and had
practised in Altoona since leaving
Hahnemann Hospital. He built up
large practise. and some years ago
made fortunate investments in oil lands
which increased his fortune to half
million dollars He was the owner of
some valuable trotting horses and was
one of Altoona's best-known men. He

SAYS HE DID 1T.
1t Was Business Man Who Set OFF
Firecrackers That Wrecked Mail Box.

Here's my card, giving my business
and address," said a local business man
to Assistant Postmaster Cypers yester-
day afternoon, adding. I'm the man
who blew up that mail box at the corner
of Ferry and Magazine street ~ the
Fourth of July night"
The man, whose name is withheld,
said that he had not placed the fire.
cracker inside the box, but had placed
1t between the box and the iron post
to which the box was attached. He
explained that he didn't think there
was force enough in the cracker to do
any damage.
1t is probable that nothing further
will be done in the matter, as there
was no mail In the box at The time,
and, therefore, no damage was con-
fined TO the box Mr.. Cypers stated
that the man was willing to stand
prosecution II the Federal authorities
desired to press the charge, but that
he did not think this would be done
under the circumstances.
