TROLLEY HITS STEEL1ON LAD
Little Albert Ferenia Is in the Harris
burg Hospital With Prob
ably Fatal Injuries

Albert Ferenia, years old, son of
Frank Ferenia, 6S1 South Second
street, Steelton, was so seriously hurt
when he was struck by trolley car at
Front and Highland streets, Steelton,
at l O. clock this afternoon that physi-
clans at the Harrisburg hospital, where
he was taken, hold out little hope for
his recovery.
So serious was his condition that op-
erations were Immediately begun. He
suffered three severe injuries, all of
which may have fractured his skull.
His right hand was crushed off at the
wrist and it will have to be amputated
near the elbow. His body. is covered
with bruises.
The boy, according to friends of his
family who accompanied the grief
stricken parents to the hospital, say
that he was playing in the street and
happened to get in the way of rapidly
moving trolley ear

FIRST period ENDS IN TIE
Scrub Teams of the Two High Schools
Battle on Island-Frasch Runs
Thirty-five Yards

Central and Tech scrubs battled to no
score in the first period of their annual
game on the H. A. G. field at the Is.
land this afternoon.
Central High kicked off. Succeeding
rushes by Tech failed to gain the re-
quired distance and they were com
PEELED to kick. Central returned tho
kick when Frasch electrified the fans
by making thirty-fve yard run. Tech
lacked the power to push the ball over
although it was within twenty yards OF
the goal line. Killinger played the best
game in this period.
At the end of the first half neither
team had scored
The teams which clashed to-day are
those that gave practice all season to
the first teams of the respective schools,
doing lots of hard wofk nearly ever~
afternoon but getting N;ttle credit for
it other than from the scRou1 fellows
who realize what a good scrub> team
means in developing a strong eleMp.
Schools were closed to-day, for the
regular Thanksgiving vacation, and
many went to see the game. The
teams entered the game as follows:

plan TO ROB STEELTON
POST0FFICE A failure
Steel Drill Such as Cracksmen Use Is
Picked Up at Rear Door of Build
ing-Evidence That the Burglars
Were Frightened Away

The finding of steel drill just out
side the rear entrance to the first floor
of the Steelton postoffiee, at Second
and Locust streets, early this morning
was the first intimation employees of
the office had that cracksmen last night
had planned an attempt to smash the
safe. That the plan was nipped in the
bud is the belief of postoffiee employees,
who are of the opinion that the would
be robbers were frightened away by the
passing of some one in the street who
did not actually see the cracksmen.
The steel drill is highly tempered
and is the kind used by postoffice rob.
bers in attempting to open safes. The
door near which the drill was picked up
is the one used by letter carriers in 90
ing to and from the building.
The last previous attempt of bur.
glars to rob the Steelton postoffice was
made during President Cleveland's ad-
ministration, when Christian Hess was
postmaster. At that time the Office
door was forced and several holes
drilled in the safe door near the com
bination lock. The holes were charged
with some explosive, supposed at that
timeto have been nitroglyeerine. The ex-
plosion which followed was heard for
some distance and before the burglars
could follow up their advantage a num-
Der of men appeared on the scene. The
safe+breakers fed and were never ap-

HELMSMAN OF Launch IS
BLAMED FOR The TURKISH
forts FIRING ON Vessel

Washington, Nov. 27.-The Turkish
commander of the forts at Smyrna lays
all responsibility for the firing upon
the cruiser Tennessee launch "to the
indifference of the helmsman of the
lannch,' who, it is said, did not heed
the warnings of the presence of mines.
Secretary Bryan to-day issued sup
Elemental statement on the Tennessee
incident based upon the latest communi-
cation from the Turkish Minister of
War to Ambassador Morgenthau in
Constantinople.
"'The War Minister'S report, :" said
the statement, states that he ascer-
tanned from the commander of Smyrna
that two blank shots of warning were
first fired and that the sentinel, after
waiting two minutes, was obliged to
fire the third snot III another direction
from that of the launch, which latter
shot was merely 10 prevent the helms
man of the launch from holding his
course which would lead directly on to
the mines at the entrance of the port,
and to rescue him from a very certain
danger. The commander of Smyrna ex-
presses very great regret that such an
obligation was presented to the SEN
tinel of the port which he attributes to
the indifference of the helmsman of the
launch.
Secretary Bryan said this latest re-
port closes the incident.
