That Is What Btartsd Roport of Weston
Mill Shut Down.
Tiik TRIBUNE yesterday morning
stated that the Weston Mill had shut
down Indefinitely, This was incorrect,
but as tho news csmo from a source
supposedly trustworthy, this paper pub
lished it as a matter of news, in good
faith.
Tbe suspension nt the mill is only
temporary and was necessitated not. by
any over-production, but by needed
remtir to the engiue. None of tbe
mill hands have been thrown out of
work, but are all busy with mill re
pairs. The threo ploVures, "Telephone1 Oirl,"

EXCELLENT PAPERS WERE REM
The annual meeting of the Pennsyl
vania State league of base ball clubs
was held at the Forest house yesterday
afternoon.
The meeting brought together all the
men who are financially interested in
the success of the state lnagn. From
the expressions of tho base bail men
yesterday, the local cranks will be
treated to soma remarkably line base
halt games during the coining season.
There will bo plenty of young players
who can giva points to tho worn out
men of the Eastern league about how
to handle a grounder, or slide to abase.
There will lie no lack of ginger in the
baseball games that will be seen iu
this city next summer.
Those present at yesterday's meeting
wore Secretary-Treasurer Henry J.
Diddlebock, of Philadelphia; John J.
Hanton, Allen town; E. K Meyers,
Harrisburg; William R. Parks, Eiston;
W. A. Whitman, Beading; J. C. Mish
ler, A. T. Beutley and Edward T.
Dhrew, of Raadiug: Alex Dunn, jr.,
W. A. St. John and Martin Swift, of
this city.
ISC ROTARY. P'.DDLKBoeiC THANKED.
The first Insiuess that was done at
the meeting was the reading uf Secre
tary Diddlebock's annual report, it
allowed that the Stale league was in
first class financial condition some
thing unheard of before in the history
of baseball in this state. The secre
tary was tendered a vote of thanks for
his Wise and efficient mauugemmt of
league affairs.
"1 K. Meyers, of Harri9burg, was re
elected president of the leairue and
Henry H. Diddbjbock, of the Phila
delphia Inquirer, was re-elected secre
tary and treasurer.
The board of directors will bs com
posed of representative! of Scranton,
Eiston, Reading and Altoonv
The schedule committee was named
as follows: Scranton, Allentown,
Altoona and Reading.
The A. T. Reach ball was adopted
as the official ball of the league.
Secretary Diddlebock announced that
he had made application to President
N. E Young, of the National league,
for protection under the national
agreement. Mr. Y ting replied that
he bad placed the State league under
protection in Class B. which does not
a thorize clubs to reserve players from
season to season. Tiio sentiment of
most of the clubs was that the rituto
leaguo should res rve its. players, as is
done by the National and Eastern
leagues,
THEY'RE AFTEIt WIT.KEVH ARIIK.
Last season tiie state league was com
posed of Scranton, Allentown, Beaton,
Altoona, Harrisburg, Job.n3town Bead
ing au I York. Tiie latt3r city will b
dropped, Applications for member
ship have beeu received from li izle
ton. Williamsport and Pottsville.
The management of the Wilkes Btvre
club has announced in favor of Eastern
League representation. It is a well
known fact, patent to everyone who is
at all acquainted with base ball mat
ters, that Wilkea-Barre wilhout Scran
ton oanOOt make money. This h-.u
boen demonstrated in past seasons. On
the contrary. Scranton made mony in
b:tse ball last season, and in a different
league from Wilues-Birre. But if
Wilkes-B-trre was a member of tl,e
Sute league it would mean greatly in
creased revenues for both clubs
The State league people will go to
Wilkes Barre to.lay and try and plaeo
a club there. There is a very general
sentiment in favor of State tongue
membership at Luzerne's county seat,
nid there is good reason to believe that
Wilkes-Barre and Scranton will play
together during the coming season.
Kvnrura session.
The evening session was devoted
principally to a discussion of the right
of cinbs to sign men who played with
State League clubs last s-ason. The
Reading and Scranton clubs want
Massey, who played with both these
clubs last season. Manager Swift has
signed him for this season, but Maua
ger Whitman alio claims his
scrvicei. In the future clubs will
have the right to sign all their last
S'lason's players, and no other clubs
will be allowed to interfere with such
players., This is the substance o fa reso
lution adopted ut the meeting last
evening.
The league voted for protection un
der clause B of the national agreeiu rata
This guarantees protection to all Slate
league clubs during the playiutr sea
son, but does not allow a club tho
privilege to reserve its players from
season to season.
There is atu considerable busiuoss to
be transacted and another meeting will
be held this morning, when the differ
out clnbs will put in their claims for
nil players they desire wuo were with
Stat league clubs last season.
After the meoting last evening the
directors of the Scranton tendered a
very enj yable dinner to the visiting
base ball men.

The report will oppose the creation

SEEMS AnIhHATDRAL MOTHER.
Mrs. Bromags Has Hr 10 -Year-Old
Daughtsr Arrested.
Confined In Cell 1 it the central pre
cinct station house is n 10 year-old girl,
Maria Barrett by nnme. who is little
more than a child. Shod confined by
order of her mother, Mrs Thomas
Bromaee, of North Main avenue, who
claims that her daughter is wayward.
O ioglauo at the girl s face would
show to any Nader of character that
she was innocsnt of any guilt, and
after her story had been heard one
would bo led to believe that the girl
was the victim of a hoartlesi an.l in
human parent.
To a Tkhju.nl reporter last night
Miss Barrett told her sad tale. She
atd'tbat she ;had bejn working out for
a living since she W119 19 years of age
und that her mother had taken every
cent she earned, without even giving
uer proper clotlnng. rnn lime ago
she went to work in the family of G o
rge. Maloney. of Dunmoro, and did
notlet her mother know where she was.
Friday last the parent discovered
her whereabouts and took her home.
Leaving home again the gitl returned
to where she had been working, only to
be recaptured by her mot uer anil
turned over to the police yesterday.
She says that her stepfather; Air
Bromage, can not get along with her
mother, who is always In troublo with
the neighbors.
This is a caso for some of the chari
table societies to investigate aud ascer
tain if th" girl's story is true. A mo
ther who will voluntarily subject a
daughter of tender years to a night
in the station house, whore nobo ly
hut the scum of civilization is con
fined cannot have much heart To
place an innocent young girl in such a
placed where nothing but foul lan
guage can be hoar 1 is enough to drivo
her from the paths of rectitude,

A non-suit was granted by Judge
Archbald at 4 80 yesterday afternoon
in tho case of Patrick Burke aguinst
tno Dslaware and Hudson Canal com
pany. Ho immediately afterwards al
lowed a rule to b3 entered to show
cause why tho non suit should not be
striaken off. The plaintiff was much
chagrined at the ubrupt termination of
tbe cute.
When court convened yesterday
morning William Littlejo'hn was
called to the st tnd for the plaintiff. He
said that when the carriage struck the
fans on tho day of tne accident it re
bounded about four feet. John J. Mur
phy, who' oprated tho fans at the tims
of the accident, said that after it oc
ourred the mine boss told him to put
a block at the fan lever to prevent the
fans from fulling into the Shaft He
was of the opinion that without that
block a jar might c iuse tho fans to fall.
Mrs Bridget Burke, mother of the
plaintiff, testifi-d that she nursed him
for months after the accident. and that
it was two yearn before he was able to
r.'Bnme work. Patrick Hogan, who
was on the carriage with Bnrko, said
that it jumped about two or three feet
when it Struck the fan.
SOME EXPtM IF.t5TIMO.NV.
Alfred Weeks, si civil, mining and
mechanical engineer, was called to
givo expert testimony. In his opinion
tho fan W4re not properly guarded.
Christopher Smith was also called as
an expert and said that iu his opiuion
the fans In tho Dickson shaft were not
reasonably safe appliances us arrange 1
at the time Of the accident. J. L. Ath
erton, assistant superintendent of the
Delaware aud Hudson Canal company,
said the fans weighed botweou O'JD and
700 pounds.
At 1 o'clock th- testimony was all in
and ex-Judge W. H. Jcssnp, attorney
for the defeudantf asked for a non-snit,
tie said it was the duty of the plaintiff
to show that tbe defendant was re
sponsible for the accident uud ho bad
not done. The pr. sumption was, he
said, that tho fans did not move with
out soul? oue moved them. If one of
the workmen hal moved them it was
an act of negligenc- on tho part of a
co-laborer and the defendant could not
be held responsible for it.
The motion for a non-suit was op
pos -d by Colonel T. R. Martin. Judge
Archbald, in reviewing the testimony,
laid that the position of counsel for
plaintiff was correct and he ullowod
the non-suit.

offer their mite for the relief of the
poor.
The little ones hud glvsn an enter
tainment and had Nslistd $1.35. The
father of tho children requested the

accomplish no much in the affairs of life
have Ue peculiar tashion of executing

They stopped ut Washington avenue
and Spruce street, about half a block
iway, and conversed until the Dun- ,
more Bnbdrban car which left Frank
lin avenue at C.lOcame ulong.
While talking tbey noticed Tony
standing near them, but did not give
the circumstance any consideration.
HE MEDITATED MISCHIEF.
While standing near Mr Burke and
Mr. Kupp, Ferrer with murder in his
heart, meditated mischief but seems to
have lacked the courage to act. The
car came nlong, Mr. B irke bado Mr.
Kupp adion and stepped on the roar
platform on whieh were Philip Coyne,
T. J. Moore, Humphrey Bradley, Colo
nel H. A. OoUTMn anil Joseph Chap
man.
Mr. Burke's movemsnt must have
aroused Ferrer to action for he whipped
out his revo'ver, fired four shots at Mr.
Burke and then turned and ran toward
Lackawanna avsuue. After tnking a
few steps he fell, cutting his left eye
brow, but he was up in an instant and
running at th top of his sp-ed.
Frank Robling, jr , nnd James Moir,
jr., were standing on tho front platform
of the car, but as soon as Ferrer turned
they alighted and gave chase.
Gthers joined them and before Fer
rer was half way down the block there
was a howling mob at his heels, and
cries of "Stop th- Murderer!'' rent the
air.
Ferrer, becoming alarmed, drew n
razor, which had the tendency cf
causing the timid to keep away from
him. He crossed Lackawanna avenue
and started down Washington avenue,
but stumbled, aud btfforo ho could re
trieve himself wa grabbed and given
a twist by B311 Kerr that took him off
his feet. As ho fell a young man named
Roser wrested the razir from him.
LYNpHISd TALKED OF.
A score of persons pounced on tl 0
fallen man, and cries of "Lynch blntl'
and "Kill him I" were hoard. At this
moment a man With a rope made his
appearance from som- quarter. Frank
Robling, jr, aud James Moir, jr.,
grabbed Ferrer, took a pair of scissors
from him, and began to pull him out of
tho dense crowd, while Colonel E, H.
Ripple and others endeavored to quiet
tho mob and restore order. A police
officer came along ami Robling nnd
Moir assisted him to take the prisoner
to the City Hall.
After being locked up Ferrer called
for a kuife 1111 1 Raid ho wanted to cut
his throat. He dsclared he had no de
sire to live and would kill himself.
Wueu seen by a T&tBUNK reporter last
night Ferrer was tossing on his cot ap
parently in gr eat ngony of mind. He
said that he did not Want to think of
what he had done. Mr. Burke had al
ways been kind to him, he laid, but ho
wanted work.
The tliiug of lb shots at tho car
caused great excitement. Ladies
screamod and became hysterical aud
men alighted as quickly as possible.
It was found that three persons had
been injured and those on tho car ut
once turned their attention ro them.
Timothy Burke was assisted into Dr.
L M. Gates' ollh:o, clone by, whoro the
bullet was removed. Tho sufferer was
then removed in a cab to his home on
North Adams avenue, where last night
many of his friends called to tender
their congratulations on bis narrow
escape.
lIMADUiV' CLOSE CALL,
Humphrey Bradley was standing
between Burke and Ferrer when the
shots were tired, and probably saved
Mr. Burke's life. When tho first shot
was fired Bradley .'instinctively turned
aud tho ball struck his right hip. He
had on a heavy overcoat which, to
gether with the fact that when be
turned he was no longer in point blnDK
range, saved him from serious injury,
l'he ball penetrated his clottiing.
ploughed the flesh on his hip several
Inches and fU into his boot.
The second shot hit Mr Burke, nnd
tho third the iron dashboard of the
car. Bullet No. 4 found a mark in Jo
seph l lhapman, of Green Ridge, who
is employed by M-gargee Bros. It
made a flesh wouud on the hip some
what similar to that sustained by Mr.
Bradley. Both of these men were able
to proceed to their homes, where they
had th wounds dressed.
