BULLET FROM RIFLE
HITS GIRL IN SWING
Daughter of Pttsburg Millionaire Is
Wounded While Visiting in Char
tIers--Injury Is Result
of Accident

PITTSBURG, July 17.-Shot by a
bullet from rifle in an unseen hand,
Miss Amanda Wettengel, daughter OF
Harry C. Wettengel, millionaire re-
tired coal operator of the West end,
lies dangerously injured at the home of
her brother-in-law j. T. Gormley, on
the Steubenville pike. CHARTERS town
ship.
Miss Wettengel, with her sister and
her niece, Mrs. George Schrody, was
waiting for the carriage that was TO
take her to her West end home when
the shooting occurred.
With the cry, "Oh, sister, I've been
shot" the girl arose from the swing,
the blood gushing from a wound in
her left leg above the knee. She was
carried to the house in an almost faint
ing condition and DR.. 1. B. Reed hur-
riedly sent for.
The physician probed the wound,
finding that the ball had entered the
left side of the limb and, after strik-
ing the bone, had passed entirely
through the flesh and out the other
side.
AT the time of the shooting no re-
port of a rifle was heard and the FAM
lily Of the injured girl believe that the
ball must have come from a distance.
Some time after the accident Mr..
Gornnley made an investigation of the
ground in the vicinity of the swing
and located the bullet on the ground a
short distance from the place where
the girl was sitting. The ball is a
.32 caliber and apparently came from
a high-power rifle.

RARE COINS STOLEN
FROM NUMISMATIST
Thieves Raid Lows Fake Collection
as He Sympathizes with Fellow
Collector Likewise a
Victim

NEW YORK, June 2S.-Lyman H.
Low, coin collector and dealer at IA
East Twenty-third street, crossed the
street to No. % to see how the store or
his fellow numismatist, Joseph #. Ne
green, had been plundered of ancient
coins and paper money worth 10000.
Having extended his sympathy to Mr..
Negreen, he returned to his own shop
to discover that in his absence thief
had smashed a showcase in front of his
place and carried away a $500 collec-
ton.
1t is believed that some one who
fully understood the value OF coins ana
stamps robbed Negreen's place. Moth
ing was carried away but gold and sill
Yer coins and Confederate and United
States fractional currency. Medals
made of base metal were brushed ASIDE
and a case full of valuable stamp col
lections was left untouched. This case
contained an album for which Mr.. Me-
green paid $1,000. The thieves carried
away 1000 Confederate bills and pieces
of fractional currency, 200 Roman and
Grecian coins, 800 eagle" cents of
1S57-5S, fifty one-half cent pieces ana
5000 in small coins.
In a wooden cabinet overlooked by
the robbers was $4,000 in gold coins,
while an iron safe in the same room
contained stamps valued at $4,000.
There was no burglar insurance.
limitations only were stolen from Ly-
man II. Low. Fearing to expose his
valuable coins in a street showcase ne
recently had electrotypes made or his
valued specimens and had placed thein
on exhibition The thief evidently
thought he was getting about $4,000
worth of coins in four trays filled with
Jewish sheckels, Ptolemaic, Greek and
Roman coins.

SH-H! BEWARE OF GHOST!
COP RUNS WITH THE REST
Digging Up of an Old Cemetery in the
Downtown District of Philadelphia
Brings Speeter That Causes
Fright

PHILADELPHIA, July 17.-Every
person in the vicinity of Twelfth and
cambridge streets is sure he lives in
a haunted district, because for the last
several nights ''monstrous big ghost
has been spooking round. Not one
person who has gone in quest of the
spirit has failed to see it.
The creepy specter rises several times
each night from an excavation just
west of Twelfth street. 1t is here that
Workmen are daily digging UP num-
Der of human bones, and yesterday two
collins were found. Persons in the
neighborhood declare the place is the
site of a graveyard used for smallpox
victims when the city was in the grip
of that disease years ago. There is
also deep well in the cellar, and
some ne; think that SO many people fell
victims to smallpox that, instead of
burying them separately a large num-
ber were thrown into the well.
Mary Tatem, a negro woman, who
lives next door to the excavation, said
that she saw the ghost again last
night, and that time 1t was larger and
more angry than ever. She believes
that unless the workmen stop disturb
ing the bones the spirit will call other
ghosts to his aid and drive every per-
son out of the neighborhood.
Edward Beatty, a policeman, col
lected a crowd of brave men. who de-
scended into the excavation, just to
show the midnight watchers that there
was nothing to fear. When they were
STOPPING down to where the ghost was
last seen lighted match suddenly was
extinguisched, although no wind was
blowing and the ghost appeared. Beat
ty was so anxious to get away that IN
going through paling he tore his
coat. One of the witnesses says he has
a piece of the cloth left on the nail.
William Wilson, a negro, of 702 South
Twelfth street, was among the
braves" and he reports that the ghost
flew directly to him, and the white
folds of it's garment encircled him.
The faster he ran away the louder the
spirit Kissed. After the braves had
been driven from the cellar the ghost
flew to a barrel where workmen had
deposited the bones excaVated, and
then dropped into the grave from which
1t last arose.
Frederick Bradt, 1923 South Thir-
teenth street, while doing carpenter
work In the cellar, was so startled by
the cry of ghost that he fell twelve
feet to the ground
William Steal, 1914 cambridge street
the night Waterman on the Job, de-
clares that the ghost hit him on the
head with a brick when he was dis
turbing the graves.

HE 10, SHE II, THEY
EL0PE AND ARE WED
Millionaire Pilson's Son Takes Pretty
Marjorie Savln for His Bride
and Father Promptly
ForgiVes Them

WASHINGTON, July 17-Dangling a
marriage certificate before her million
aire father-in-la eyes, I7-year-old
Mrs. Edwin Pilson took this means or
informing her husbands family that
she had been made one of its MEM
bers.
Mrs. Pilson was formerly Miss Mar
jorie ]. Savin and lived with her uncle
and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. B. Alexan-
der, at the Rochambeau, one of the
most exclusive apartment houses in
Washington. The young people pro-
cured a marriage license and without
taking anybody into their confidence
slipped away to a minister's and We're
married.
Young Pilson is 10 years old and had
not finished his schooling last year
when, with several other students, he
quit the Jacob Tome institute at Port
Deposit, Md, because favorite
teacher had been retired from the fac
ulty.
The bridegroom is a son of Benjamin
f. Pilson, head of the Pilson firm
which deals In railway supplies. With
his brothers and sisters he will one
day come into a great fortune. The
Pllson residence in Washington is one
of the most beautiful here, and was the
home of Thomas F. Walsh until he
built his marble palace.
Miss Savin and young Pilson had
been sweethearts, but nobody took
their little love romance seriously. Last
year Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander, the
young woman's uncle and aunt, decid-
ed to make a six months tour of Eu-
rope with their niece. The three sailed
away, but not before the boy and girl
sweethearts had plighted their troth
in secret and determined that they
would wed when the European tour
was over.
But Miss Savin decided she would
rather not wait. She got her relatives
to send her home while they continued
their travelling. That was several
months ago. She was invited to stay
with the Prisons, who are old friends
of her family. When Miss Savin
walked in and presented her father-in-
law with the marriage certificate the
elder Pilson burst into laughter.
1.-THE whole thing was so absurd, ="
he said, those two children being mar
ried, but they have my blessing. They
will live with us until we can decide on
a business career for the boy.
The bride is an orphan. She is an ex-
ceptionally pretty girl.

Agree on Exchange Of
Working Cards

DENVER, July 17.-President Chas.
H. Meyer of the Western Federation OF
Miners, which is holding its annual
convention in this city, and President
T. h. Lewis of the United Mine Work
ers, with members of the executive

lar conventions and ask for jurisdiction

during strikes will be settled at fu-
ture conference, after the two boards
have conferred with their respective
organizations.

the method of electing officers. The
present plan is to elect at the conven-
ton. The amendment provides for
nominations at the convention and
election by the locals through the ref
erendum.
An amendment taking away the pow
er of the executive board to submit
questions to the referendum was also
defeated.

promise and that he went SO far as
to use profane language In breaking
the engagement.

BALL; TRIES TO WHIP
OPPOSING PITCHER
Billy Sunday Falls from Grace During
Excitement Incident to Game
Between Rival
Mines

Special to The Herald.
WARSAW, Ind, July 17.-Evangelist
Billy Sunday, the baseball player that
was, fell from grace today and landed
feet first in his old-time days of the
diamond when it was good form to
lambast the umpire and take few
swats at the opposing pitchers head
as we'll as his inshoots. Billy played
ball, got mad and wanted to break up
the game with a battle royal as was
proper finale in the heroic age of the
national game.
The little gods of chance that lead
men into unwise ways got Billy, the
erstwhile fleetest of base pilferers, TO
don baseball toys and show the young
baseball ideas how to shoot in and
outs" with equal dexterity. 1t was
lapse of policy for Billy in recent years
has been coy about setting foot In the
limelight of the diamond.
But today fate pushed him in to help
band of insurgents down the cham
pion baseball aggregation OF Winona.
the Indiana Chautauqua.
The insurgents did well, thanks to
Billy Sunday. The old time middle
tender of the Pittsburg outfield had on
his swatting habits and by such timely
hitting as home runs and three-sackers
gave the challengers double cinch
lead.
But Billy's base scampering was not
what it once was, and the opposing
pitcher cut loose with a few sarcastic
remarks about the speed of a has-been.
Evangelist Sunday faded away in plain
old Billy Sunday. For the space of an
instant Billy vowed he could bounce a
ball bat on the head of pert indi-
vidual not far away Then someone
gave the soft answer that turneth
away wrath, and Billy Sunday was
pulled back to grace.

EXAMINES MAN BITTEN BY
DOGS OVER 5000 TIMES

NEW YORK, July 17.-Dr. F. r.
jackson of the Pasteur institute was
at Montclair, n. j., yesterday and made
a scientific examination of David Stein
felt, the Montclair dog catcher, who.
according to the record he has kept
during his six years service, has been
bitten over 5000 times by all manner
of dogs, at least one of which was af-
f1icted with rabies.
Steinfelt's case is regarded as Curl
Gus by the Pasteur institute, and Dr.
jackson wants the dog catcher to go to
the institute so that the surgeons can
make a special study of his condition.
Dr. Jackson made a close examina-
ton of the much-bitten man and Stein
felt in answer to his queries says he
frequently is affected by some of the
symptoms which usually presage hy-
drophobia.
The surgeon inspected the scars on
Steinfelts body. took record of his
heart action and noted his tempera-
ture-
Steinfelt has not yet decided whether
he will visit New York to undergo scru-
tiny at the institute, as he fears "ex-
periments'' may be conducted by the
surgeons If he places himself in their
hands.

DECIDE FREIGHT RATES
OUGHT TO BE ADVANCED

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 17.-That
freight rates should be advanced i'll
the territory of the Southeastern
Freight association and Southeastern
Mississippi Valley association, which
takes in all of the territory south of
the Ohio river and east of the Missis-
sippi river, was decided upon at the
meeting of the executive officers of all
of the railroads, which closed today.
The advance. it is said, will be from
to 10 cents a hundred pounds hori-
zontally, to correspond with the adj
vance decided upon by the Southwest
ern Freight association recently.

considerable opposition on the part of
certain railroad officials, who main
tanned an advance of rates at present
was impolitic. 1t is considered proba-
bic that the tariffs will not be in shape
for fling before August /. and will not
be in force until September IS.
