The Drawback ou Trolley Oar Profits.
Should one-half the exorbitant
claims set up be granted to persons
for injuries sustained by their coming
into collision with electric cars, the
margin of profits to the companies
must necessarily be pretty large to
meet thee demands and pay running
expenses. The exorbitant claims pre
sented, no matter how serious or
trifling the injury may have been,
seem frequently to be based upon
the presumption that if corporations
have no souls they at least have plenty
of available cash.

DEATH FOLLOWS A STRUGGLE.
AFTER ARRESTING A MAN IN HIS
STORE A CIOAR DEALER SUCC'UMUS
TO HEART DISEASE.
John Helb, si years old, a cigar
dealer, whose place of business is on
the southwest corner of Ridge avenue
and Jefferson street, Philadelphia,
died suddenly at his store, recently,
from heart disease superinduced by
excitement in arresting a man for be
ing drunk and disorduly. A man
considerably under the influence of
liquor entered Helbs store and asked
him to wrap up a bundle which he
carried in his hand. Helb did not
like the tone in which the request was
asked, and refused to comply with the
demand. This refusal greatly incens
ed the man, who immediately started
in, it is said, to demolish the store and
fixtures.
Helb seized him, however, and
shouted for help. Park Guard
Showaker, who was passing at the
time heard the cries and assisted
him to subdue the man, and they took
him to the station house only a few
doors away. The prisoner gave his
name as William Toner, 30 years old,
of 1966 Pat ton street, and Mr. Helb
made a charge of drunkenness and
disorderly conduct against him.
Five minutes had scarcely elapsed
after this when Policeman Plummer
rushed into the station house and in
formed Sergeant Norbury that Helb
was lying dead at his residence. He
reported the affair to Lieutenant
Lyons, who notified the Coroner.
There were many witnesses of the
affair, who state positively that no
blow was struck by either party during
the struggle. Dr. Keim, of 2015
Ridge avenue, who was called in to
attend Helb, said death was due to
heart failure.
The Lower Phase of City Life lather
and Mother Drunk.
William Moran, is years old, of
2820 Leamy street, was seen by a
policeman of the Thirtieth district on
Saturday night carrying his 2 year-old
child along the street. The man was
too much under the influence of liquor
to keep his footing and fell, dropping
the baby to the pavement and bruis
ing it about the face and body.
The policeman arrested Moran, and
when the case was reported to Lieu
tenant Enders he detailed men to in
vestigate it.
When they went to the address
given by Moran they found his wife,
Ella, also intoxicated, while playing
about the neglected rooms were two
other children, aged 4 and S years,
while a 6 weeks-old infant lay crying
in its cradle. The children were tin
kempt and neglected and were placed
in charge of the Society to Protect
Children from Cruelty and the mother
was arrested.
Magistrate Lukens sentenced the
couple to three months in the House
of Correction, where the infant was
sent with its mother. Phila. Times,

QUOIT THROWING.
The quoit tournament of the BloomS'

nesday, August 28th, promises to be
an interesting and attractive game, as
the participants named are those who

about where they want thsm, provided
the other fellow will let them lie
there. Among entries already an
nounced we find the names of the
following expert pitchers:

Others will no doubt participate in
the game.
Injured While Riding His Bicycle.
We are informed that the popular
and affable Charles B. McHcnry, of
Benton, met with a very serious acci
dent near Patterson Grove last Sun
day. He is reported as falling from
1 1 t. i-l a
1113 Dicycie wnue uncier lu'i speed ana
coming down a sandy hill. Losing
his equilibrium by the wheel striking
a slanting rock, or rut, he fell with
such force on his head and shoulders
that he was unconscious for a lone
time. Evidently the bicycle is danger
ous as well as healthful at times, as
this sad accident demonstrates.

The complete novel in the Septem
ber issue of LtppincotCs is " A Case
in Equity," by Francis Lynde. The
scene is a "boom" town in the South,
with the adjoining country, to which
a young Northerner went in search of
health, and found it and some other
things.
"Morning Mists" is one ofjulien
Gordon's strongest tales, though it
has a very mature heroine and a very
young hero. Charles Newton Hood
tells " How the La Rue Stakes were
Lost," in a way highly creditable to
the losers.
Helen Fraser Lovett, in " A Mute
Milton," gives a revised version of a
classic fairy tale. "The Literary
Woman at the Picnic," by Ella
Wheeler Wilcox, evidently contains
more truth than fiction.
Charles Stuart Pratt relates the
history of " Napoleon and the Regent
Diamond," which was of importance
to the conqueror and to the fate of
Europe in more ways than one.
Ellen Duvall writes on " Moliere."
Edward Fuller has a sharp article on
"The Decadent Drama." Calvin
Dill Wilson tells all about " Crabbing,"
especially as practised in Chesapeake
Bay. " The Survival of Superstition "
is described by Elizabeth Ferguson

The Immortal Shakespeare at the
Opera House
Charles B. Hanford, Elihu R.
Spencer and Nora O'Brien, the triple
star Shakespearean Company, will ap
pear at the Opera House early in the
season. It is expected that this en
gagement will prove an intellectual
treat to all lovers of Shakespearean
dramas. Mr. Hanford produced the
play of Julius Cnesar two years ago in
a very sumptuous manner and receiv
ed the highest praise for the produc
tion and the acting which was of a
very high standard. Manager W. O.
Holmes has selected for the appear
ance of the Company this season
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
which will be presented with Mr.
Hanford as Mercutio, Mr. Spencer as
Romeo, and the part of Juliet will be
assumed by Miss O'Brien. New and
superb scenery, magnificient in its
proportions, will be in the presentation
of the play, which is carried complete
by the company, and a most perfect
scenic production of the play is prom
ised. All during the past Spring and
Summer Mr. Hanford had artists and
carpenters at work preparing for this
tour new and historically correct cos
tumes as well as scenery for each play
of their repertoire which includes
Merchant of Venice. Othello, Julius
Caisar, Romeo and Juliet, Damon and
Pythias, Virginius and the Hunchback.
They will appear at the Bloomsburg
Opera House Monday Oct. 7th.
