Fit IN His CAB
John Miller of Dunmore Assault
ed BY Missile Thrown Through
Window BY Someone Before
Train Reached MapIeWood---
No Clue to Assailant.

MAPLEWOOD, Sept. 15.-When
the Erie accommodation passenger
train due in Scranton at $40 o'clock
Wednesday night failed to make the
usual stop at the Maplewood station,
an investigation by the train crew
revealed Engineer John Miller of
Blakely street, Dunmore, lying un-
conscious on the floor of the cab.
Miller was bleeding from a cash in
the forehead, caused by being hit by
a thrown missile Miller will re-
cover.
The train, bearing its load of
passengers, had travelled over mile
without a guiding hand, as Engineer
Miller was struck a mile east of
Maplewood. The condition of the
pilot of the train was unknown to
the other members of the crew un-
til the train flew past Maplewood
station.
Conductor Abraham Snyder, who
was in the wreck near Lake Ariel
Sept. 2, noticing the train had pass
ed the station, signalled repeatedly
to stop. Fireman George Schryer
of Dunmore, happening to hear the
repeated signals, began an investi-
cation. When the fireman climbed
luIO Jue CAP ne IOunu Miller on the
floor. The engineer was unconscious
and blood was flowing from a wound
on the forehead.
Fireman Schryer stopped the train
and after it was backed into the
Mapiewood station Miller was taken
into one of the passenger coaches.
He was revived before the train
reached Dunmore and was removed
to his home. His condition is not
serious.
Upon recovering consciousness,
Miller said that he was struck a
mile east of Maplewood. He had
his head out of the window and saw
no one along the track at the time
the missile flew through the air
The wound is a long one and the
cut extends to the bone.
There were so passengers on the
train. They were not informed of
the unusual occurrence and left the
train IN ignorance of the hazard
they had run.
The company sent Lieut.. Ralph
and a corps of detectives through
the woods above Maplewood, but
no explanation of the accident had
been gained.

on Duryea Line.

SCRANTON, Sept. IS John

pute between the trolley men and
the railway company over the dis
missal of two crews who were in
volved in a wreck on the Duryea
line.
Whether or not Mr.. Mitchell will
be able to serve will not be known

notified of the arbitrators' choice
Wednesday.

many names but were unable to
agree until Mr.. Mitchell was sug-
gested, when the agreement was
unanimous.
Mr.. Mitchell is secretary of the
trade agreement department of the
Civic federation. One of the chief
aims of the body is to maintain peace
between capital and labor. The hope

WEAvER-DOoLTTLE WEDDING.
Young Couple Step on Quietly and
Go To Towanda To Live.

There was a wedding, unpreten-
tious but pretty, at the home of
Mrs. Sara Doolittle, near Bellevue
park, Wednesday afternoon at $50,
when the knot that made her
daughter, Miss Edna NJ, the wife of
John II. Weaver, Jr., of Towanda
was tied by Rev. w. II. Hitler of
the Methodist church.
No one but the relatives saw Mr..
Weaver and Miss Doolittle married.
The bride wore pale pink crepe
de chine. She had no veil. In her
hand was a fine bouquet of white
asters Bride and groom were un-
attended.
The young couple received the
cordial congratulations of his folks
and her folks, and then a carriage
took them to the 4.40 ID. & II. train
and they got aboard and started for
Towanda. They will stop a little
along the way, the groom admitted,
but the journey to Towanda is not
Mr.. and Mrs. Weaver's formal we'd
ding trip. That will come later,
possibly in October, and where they
will go they do not care to say yet.
Mr.. Weaver is the only son of
the landlord of the Hotel Wayne,
He worked for the Wayne Cut
Glass company in Honesdale until
1t left here in May, and then he
went with the concern to Towanda.
He keeps the books, looks after
general office business, and is virtu-
ally the assistant manager of the
company. Mrs. Weaver is a
bright young woman whose friends
are plentiful in Honesdale and
Texas No. 4. She received more
than one roomful of wedding gifts,
mostly furniture, glass, silver, lin
en- and other sensible housekeeping
articles.

STRIKE ON ROAD

4 " -EcNh MEN III
BERRY JOB WALK OUT, say
ING 1T MUST BE NINE HOURS
At $40 OR THEY'LL WORK
SOMEWHERE ELSE-TWENTY
REMAIN.
Twenty-four out of the 45 men
employed by seaman, Irwin and
Brennerman on the Dyberry state
road quit work Wednesday They
said they must have a 9-hOur day
and 10 hours pay. They have been
getting $40 for ten hours.
It's a days work to walk up
there and a days work to walk
back" said one of the dissatisfied
workmen that night. I'VE can get
the same pay on the armory and be
right at home"
All the men that struck live in
Honesdale. All but five of them
are Americans. The five are Ital-
ians.
From the outset of the job the
contractors have had hard work to
get the help needed. Fifty men
they could use all the time, but
there have been mighty few days
when the timekeeper could find so.
Sometimes the working force drop
ped to II. The job must be finish
ed Nov. l. The contractors have
had a whole lot of tough luck, in
Guiding a bad July washout that
dumped 100 feet of road into the
creek.
Mr.. Seaman and Mr.. Brennerman
drove to the job at this morning,
as usual. Mr. Seaman said some of
the strikers had told him last night
they smight be back to work this
morning,
The five Italians came back to-
day. They said they quit because
the rest of the strikers threatened
to stone thin if they didn't go out.
A member of the firm said this
noon that If the "a had given
three days notice 1t is probable some
arrangement would have been made
to haul them back and forth.

A request comes for suggestions for
a wooden wedding. which is the fifth
anniversary. The invitations may be
written or printed upon birch bark,
or on imitation wood paper, giving the
date of original wedding and the day
and date of proposed celebration. For
table centerpiece large canoe of
birch bark would be charming filled
with violets or other small flowers;
smaller canoes could be used to hold
salted nuts and as place cards, too,
with the guests name written on the
side in fancy lettering. A wooden
chopping bowl, filled with fruit and
flowers, could be utilized as center
piece If the canoe is not obtainable.
Little wooden dishes that come for
dolls make fine individual nut or bon
bon holders. Place cards may also be
made from squares of birch bark. If
carpenter is accessible get him to
make some nice long curly shavings
to use as festoons about the rooms.
For amusement, try a nail-poundlng
contest for the girls and whiting
contest for the men, or let all dress
dolls made from clothespins. Fill
small tub with sawdust and make a
pie ont of which the guests may
draw tiny wooden boxes filled with
wedding cake.
One of the stunts" at wooden
wedding celebration was to gather the
guests in one room in two long lines.
Lights were extinguished and wooden
articles in common. everyday use
were passed from hand to hand down
the line. After each one had held and
felt of all the articles, the lights were
turned on, and the one writing out
the most complete list from memory
received prize.

A stunt which is new and amusing
and never fails to make fun. is trick
in balancing. Have the one who tries
the thing, measure exactly three
times the length of his own foot out
from the wall of the room, then stand
with heels together facing the wall,
then stoop forward until the top of his
head touches the wall. Then place a
light stool or tabouret, about 20 inches
in height, between him and the wall.
The trick is to hold the tabouret off
the floor and at the same time lift
the head from the wall. A woman
generally succeeds in doing this with
comparative ease. but for some reason
the trick is not so easy for man. So
ask a woman to do 1t first, then It v
very funny to see the man fail.
