Reading Gets More Traffic.

Within the next few weeks the busi
ness of the Philadelphia & Reading
railway will be created increased due
to the fact that the Susquehanna &
Buffalo railroad,a new railroad en-
tering Williamsport, will turn it's
freight over to the Reading.
During the past several days 10 new
crews have been hired by the Reading
between Tamaqua and Newberry and
it has been learned that more will be
placed as soon as the proper men can
be secured.
1t has been stated on good authority
that nearly if not quite all of this in
creased traffic will be handled over
the Catawissa branch.

ESCAPED PATIENT
CREATES ALARM

A patient who escaped from the hos
pitai for the insane was apprehended i'll
this city Thursday night after he had
been at large over twenty-four hours.
Incidental to the mans apprehension
were several episodes serio-comic in
their nature, among them being foot
race between the patient and Night
Watchman Young
1t was approaching the hour of mid
night when officer Voris was called to
the vicinity of the Thomas Beaver
free library by residents living near,
who informed him that they had been
much disturbed during the evening by
strange individual, who seemed to
haunt Ferry street between Mshoning
and Market streets. The man was seen
half dozen times ON the same spot
and he had an uncanny habit of peer
ing into the peoples houses as he
passed by.
When Officer Voris arrived at the
library the mysterious man had pass
ed on. just at this point an urgent
call took the policeman to another
part of town. Before leaving, how
ever, he turned the case over to Night
Watchman Young, who, Joined by an
other citizen that had seen the night
prowler, started in pursuit of the man
Near the Germania brewery they
saw the man. but the man saw them
first and he started in the direction of
the river as fast as his legs could car
ry him. The night watchman and
companion, convinced by this time
that there was something shady about
the man, redoubled their efforts to
capture him and literally made the
gravel fly as they dashed through the
streets and across lots in quick pur-
usit.
They were finally rewarded by catch
ing the man, who was placed in the
lookup. The man was plainly, although
cleanly and comfortably clothed even
to necktie and collar His costume,
along with his unaccountable conduct
suggested that he might be patient
that had escaped from the hospital for
the insane.
By the time he was landed in the
lookup Officer Voris had returned and
he decided to make an examination of
his clothing, knowing that if he were
a,patient his name would be found
printed on the inside of his vest as
we'll as on the inside of his shoe. Un-
buttoning the mans vest the officer
read in plain letters "T. Schapiro "
"When did you leave the hospital?"
the policeman bluntly asked:
Last night, was the answer.
In reply to a question the man said
he had been at the hospital three
years. He then proceeded in a rambl-
ing, though pathetic way, to tell how
man named Fisher and "another
fellow" of Shamokin had one day ask
ed him to take ride. They visited
the hospital here, he said, and the
men wouldn't take him along home.
Since then he had been at the institu-
tion and he was very anxious to get
away. The present was the first oppor-
tunity he had found in three years
to escape and he wanted to go home

NARROWLY ESCAPES
HUNTERS BULLET

Harvey Lamberson, who resides
along the old canal about two miles
below town, called at the office of
Justice Of the Peace Oglesby Saturday
morning to see if something could not
be done to stop reckless shooting in
the vicinity of his home.
At all seasons of the year he says
there is more or less reckless shooting
down the river and many close calls
are on record. When the hunting sea-
son is not on. then the would-be
marksmen, who go down there to
practice with their guns, have to be
reckoned with The danger, he says,
was never more marked than since the
present hunting season opened.
The other day Mr. Lamberson's
mother-inlaw, who resides with him
came within an ace of being struck by
a bullet from hunter rifle 1t is no
unusual experience for a person driv-
ing along the road to hear bullet
whiz by his ear. Mr.. Lamberson de-
clared that he has seen persons stand
in the public highway and to test their
craftsmanship blaze away at objects
without any apparent regard as to
whether or not the coast was clear
Perhaps some of this reckless shoot
ing is done thoughtlessly by persons
who lose sight of the danger to which
persons living or passing near the
spot are exposed. For such individu-
ais, if at all humane, the single pro-
test herein voiced should prove suffici-

Train Kills Two Large Steers.

Passengers on the 8 10 d. l.. & W.
train. Saturday night, were shaken up
and frightened about an eighth of a
mile above the station at Bloomsbury
when the train struck and ran over
two large steers.
The jolting that the train received
was bad enough in itself. but combin-
ed as it was with the quick applica-
tion of the emergency brake for a
moment it created an impression
among the passengers that there was a
wreck.
The steers killed were two big fell
lows belonging to the Bloomsbury

broken out of their enclosure. Both
were completely under the train and
were instantly killed.

and feeling like one, as he stated. ar
rived in this city yesterday morning
and, for the first time, made public
the details of his future plans for the
education of the people.
Incidentally the Mount Vernon,

questioned about the march on WASH

ing campaign he would depend on no

Soon after his arrival he strobe into

stating that he did not wish a room,
but wanted people to know that he
was in the city. His appearance Great

PLANS BIG CIRCUS TENT.

going to have big circus tent which
will seat from ten to fifteen thousand
persons, and with it 1 will tour the
country, educating the people on the
great questions before the public eye. !"
'Will you enlist or recruit q second

of the reporters questioned.
"Tush tush!' responded the Gen
eral "There will be no army in this
campaign 1 will do all the ordering
and will carry out the orders. In 9TH
er words. L will conduct this fight
single. handed.
my contention this time will be
that the people should own all the
public utilities. This country knows
enough about producing but does not
know how to distribute. You all know
that this country is the greatest place
on earth. Well, with the people in
control of the public utilities it will
be twice as good. 1 will urge and de-
mand government bond issue. All
money then will be handed out down
at Washington and cities and towns
will not have to pay big interest on
loans. The interest ordinarily paid,
declare. with my plan in vogue, will
go toward wiping out the principal of
the loan"
TO DISCLOSE PLAN LATER.
General Coxey would not outline
the plan, saying that he would dis
close it for the first time when the
lecture tour was begun.
81 can illustrate my plan by loan
right in your city," the General con-
tinued. II understand that loan of

and notes and.expenses entitled. Then
the city could levy tax to pay the
interest, which would be devoted for
payment of the principal.
II propose to set out with my tent
in the early spring. AT that time,
am reasonably sure, every level-mind-
ed man will see the need of public
ownership of the utilities-the rail-
