FIGHTS when He
LOSES HIS ROOM
Austrian Battle Caused When
Landlady Rearrange Her
Boarders.
FORMAL CHARGE REDUCED
Peter Wukomarivotch Who Cut John
Wuncinch Is Released With
Fine of ST.

The charge of assault with a deadly
weapon against Peter Wukomarivotch
was amended to an assault and bat
terry charge this morning by Assistant
States Attorney Edwards, and he was
fined IS and costs. John Wuncinch,
who was stabbed in Thanksgiving
orgy at an Austrian boarding house on
Forty-fifth street. was also fined 81
and costs. as was Mrs. S. Shupert.
Raphael Anton, Nick Marovitch and
George Studen, who were present at
the time the cutting occurred.
None of the witnesses seemed to
know just who did the cutting and
for this reason the charge was
amended.
Roomer in His Bed.
During the hearing it developed that
Wuncinch. who was stabbed. was in
an intoxicated condition and one of
the witnesses stated that he had been
looking for trouble. Wuncinch admit
ted that he carried knife. 1t seems
as though the trouble started when
Wuncinch returned to the boarding
house about $50 and found another
roomer sleeping in his bed. Declaring
he would not stand for such treatment
an argument with the landlady, Mrs.
Shupert ensued Wuncinch claims
that she struck him first and then he
struck back. He admitted that he
grabbed Mrs. Shupert by the lair and
brandished a knife in the other hand.
1t was then the other roomers came to
her aid and jumped on Wuncinch.
Wuncinch also admitted that he did
not see a knife in Wukomarivotch' S
hand. II is evident that nearly all of
those present were intoxicated and
did not have a clear idea of what real
ly happened at the time the stabbing
was done.
Moving Day Trouble.
Mrs Shupert had been moving dur
ing Thanksgiving day and her Dom
ers were assisting her. Wuncinch
was not satisfied with the rearrange
ment of rooms. and wanted his former
bed back, and this fact led to the
argument which ended in the cutting.
Wuncinch has been confined at st.
Anthony's hospital since Thanksgiv-
and was taken TO the city court in the
to testify. He was stabbed
the ribs in the back. the long
knife penetrating the lung, and for a
time his life was dispaired of. DR.. JOS
eph DeSilva had charge of the case.

ONLY TWO WET"
Wells UP AT arden

Early risers at Arden for the past
several days have been surprised to
see little figures scampering here
and there with buckets, and for
awhile those who arose to behold the
dawning of another day thought the
fairies were chasing one another.
The figures. it was later learned,
were Italians running with buckets
of water to the homes Of the resi-
dents, and they were carrying the
water from the one wet" pump.
Arden has twelve or more pumps be-
sides a water company, the possessor
of a large storage tank, but alas, all
the wells except one and the water
company's wells are dry.
Those residents of the colony who
contributed towards the organizing
of a fire brigade there are wondering
what would happen ii fire should
start in the colony. AS it is, house
wives are dependent on the water
carriers for water for all purposes,
and the village pump has succeeded

in the summer, as the most popular
place in the colony

COMMITTEE MAKE
AN INVESTIGATION

The privilege of enjoying a smoke
from pipe. cigar or cigarette during
working hours may be denied em-
ployes of the Pennsylvania railroad,
according to information received in
this city. The safety first" commit
teemen of Philadelphia are trying to
"smoke nuisance" there and II sue
cessful the orders may effect other
branches of the road.
In the opinion of the committee the
'hod,' "stogie." "two-for." "makings,"
plug" and other forms In which the
God of Nicotine" is worshiped, ought
to be placed usder the ban. Especial
ly should this lid be on in depart
ments patronized by the public and
where close attention to business is
big factor.
No orders have yet been recon-
mended by the committee, nor has
this question been taken up official
ly. Some members Of the committee
and many officials are of the opinion
that a man using tobacco while at
work renders inferior service and
that time lost in lighting up" and
filling up" in a years time is big
loss to the company.
If an order is issued, it will prob
ably include all employees of ticket Of
fees, freight Offices. In Railways Of
Office buildings, and in departments
where a lighted cigarette or cigar
stump. thrown carelessly into a rub
bish pile. or waste basket, may cause
considerable damage II is said that
at the next conference between de-
partment heads and committeeman,
this question will come up for a gem
eral discussion, and definite action.
The b. & o. Railroad Company has
already taken steps along the same
line.
