NARROWLY ESCAPED DEATH.
.Michael White Struck by an F.ngine and
Is Made a Prisoner.
Michael Wbjte, a well known man in
the city, was struck by an engine on the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
track last evening. White was walk
ing the track below the Mount Pleas
ant mlrui. whan ih.a, accident occurred.
After being picked up by the trainmen
White asked what he had done to be
struck in such a manner by any man.
He was Informed that the blow was
dealt by a locomotive and he laconical
ly replied that he thought It was a
strong hit.
He was tenderly lifted and put on a
car and taken to the depot and Dr.
Rudisall, of the 'hospital, was sent for,
who examined his injuries and pro
nounced them to be merely superficial.
Rescued from 'the jaws of death
White sauntered out into Lackawanna
avenue with traces, however, of his con
flict with the locomotive when a citizen
esiled him and handed' him over to
Patrolman Melnzer, who In turn showed
him to Chief Simpson, who finally sug
gested 'that he should be taken to the
station house for the night to avoid any
possibility of waging war with more
locomotives.
Upon arrival at the station house
White was searched and two 'pair of
spectacles were found on him, which,
he explained he used 'one for day and
one for night." A razor was also found
and a broken bottle, the relics of his
escapade. White throughout dealt
very lightly with the matter and did not
appreciate that he had been In any dan
ger. MEAN'S Mini FOR BEZEK.

language and the .Kraenlsh tongue,
which Bezek speaks. The purpose of
bringing this man here la to prove by
him that the testimony of Bezek and
his witnesses was not properly Inter
preted. If they can do this It will mean

the murderer's life and the disposal of
the case by the court will be awaited
with interest. Bezek's appetite Is very
keen, and he Is taking things easy at
the Jail and not worrying.

FOR GILT-EDGED BASE BALL
Flans for Making Next Season's Team
n Winner.
WANT A HIGH-GRADE MANAGER
Buckenbcrger, Last Year's Pittsburg Man
ager, Applies for the Position-IIahlun
Tied to Stuto League-Tribute
to Cuhill's memory.
If last night's meeting of the Scran
ton Base Ball association is any cri
terion next year will witness the very
best manager obtainable in charge of
the club, which will be organized with
the paramount idea of making It gilt
edged in every particular. The sense
of the meeting was that a winning
team and a well managed team, though
expensive, will bring the stockholders
financial returns for the outlay.
From present indications either A. C.
Buckenberger, lust seasim's manager
of the Pittsburgs, or John Hanlon, late
manager of the Hazletons and now
president of the State league, will man
age the Scranton club next year. Buck
enberger yesterday wired W. L. "Betts,
making application for the manager
ship and asking for terms. Hanlon, in
answer to a letter from' Mr. Belts,
wired yesterday that he could not hon
orably withdraw from his present con
nection with the State league, but Hau
lon's reply Is thought to have been for
the purpose of making the Scranton
people more anxious to secure him and
such muy possibly be the outcome.
Xo I'so for Tim Hurst.
The members last night did not con
sider very favorably the application of
Timothy Hurst, last season an umpire
In the National league. From Danny
Richardson, the noted National league
second baseman, was received a letter
containing the phrase, "no more base
ball for me," and an Inference that he
would in future devote himself to his
mercantile business In Elmlra. Nichol
son, of Erie, and Charlie Morton hud
been communicated with In reference to
managing the team, but the former has
signed with Baltimore and Morton will
manage the Buffalo club.
Among the players whom Tommy
Cahlll wus negotiating with before his
death and who may yet sign with
Scranton are Ollle Smith, late left
fielder of the Loulsvllles; George
Nichols, late pitcher of the Loulsvllles,
and Second Baseman Pickett, of the
Troys, who Is said to be the crackajack
player In that position In the Eastern
league.
Mr. Betts has forwarded to the father
of Tommy Cahlll a letter recently re
ceived from Patrick Powers, president
of the league, In which Mr. Powers pays
a weighty tribute to the memory of the
late manager. The letter cites Cahlll
as one of the most honorable, capable
and brainy base ballists of his day. and
mentioned feelingly the warm person
ality which had endeared him to a host
of friends.

count of the length of the play. Tho

Manager Frothinghnm takes pleasure
In announcing the return engagement
of "Hoss nnd Hoss" New Year's after
noon and evening. It has been greatly
improved since it was here in August
and the company strengthened by the
addition of Rose Sutherland, America's
champion buck and wing dancer. The
Buffalo Express of Nov. 6 said: "The
hosses of 'Hoss and Hoss' are still run
ning. The play has all Its old-time
liveliness. Anyone who has seen this
Bhow, which surely was a funny farce
comedy', should know that It Is as funny
as ever, and the company that gives It
this week at the Lyceum Is a good one.
Currle Sweeney as the Bowery girt is,
of course, as good as could be. Jacques
Kruger In the principal role is as good
as any man that ever tried the laugh
provoking part of Judge Willie Hoss.
Harry Crandall is a very good German
comedian, and the rest of the company
are first-class. 'Hoss and Hoss,' ns pre
sented by this company, will revive old
recollections, and the production will
not suffer In comparison with the first
great company that took this show on
the road."
II II II
"My Partner" will be presented at the
Academy of Music on Wednesday even
lig by Louis Aldrlch and company. Mr.
Aldrlch will appear In his original role

Kendrlck and the Misses May Hosmer,
Florida Kingslcy are a few of the prom
inent names in the suporting cast. The
scenery and effects showing the pic
turesque mountain scenery In the far

frame for this Ideal picture.
WASHINGTON VS. NAPOLEON
Why Not Kcvlve Interest In the Futhcr of
His Country?
The violent revival of Interest in tfa
poleon, says Harper's Weekly, suggests
that the day will come presently when
it will occur to some magazine editor
or other observing person to organize
a literary resurrection of General
George Washington. Washington has
by no means been forgotten in this
country. Indeed, he Is called to mind
every year on his birthday, when tils
career nd character ure the subject
of editorial articles in numbers of news
papers. But In that part of the country which
has developed In the last ninety years
lie Is by no means so conspicuously be
fore the public as In the older cities and
states ithat knew 'him personally and
wcire honored by his presence. In these
older localities his effigies abound and
his dignified figure is familiar, but west
of the Hudson Washington monuments
are scarce, and the Father of his Coun
try Is by no means as familiar to tho
eye as Lincoln, Grant and other heroes
of the civil war. A Washington revival
will be welcome and salutary whenever
It comes, and If 1t brings a new crop
of monuments with it, bo much the bet
ter. A Remedy of Great Value.

Which uppeured In a recent Issue of the
"St. Louis, Mo., Medical Brief," Prof.
Wlllard H. Morse. M. D. F. B. S. Sc., of

night, but from present Indications It
Is possible that a financial loss will beln
eurred and that the attendance will fall
far below what was anticipated. If
either of these circumstances happen it
Is likely that fhe Bachelors will never
attempt another ball, at least not upon
the scale of the present one. The fact
that up to last night the sale of tickets
did not approach the number anticipat
ed does not argue tihat the arrange
ments for the ball v.ill be In any way
modified. To make the dance the most
exquisite function ever given In the city
has all along been the object of the com
mittee of arrangements and this object
will not be deviated from.
Such a Btate of affairs may be com
pared to the apathy of the best social
element toward high grade theater at
tractions. Scranton is considered by
leading players anything but an ap
preciative or lucrative oity for visita
tion. In years gone by the Bachelors
huve almost had more guests than
could be accommodated nnd the leaders
of the organization are at a loss to
know wihy this year the prospect is not
blighter. Several of the prime mowrs
In the affair have unwillingly admitted
that many persons are lukewarm be
cause tickets to the ball will cost ..
There seems to be no disputing that
sudh an amount is quite a sum of
money, but when associated with the
excellent, artistic and elaborate details
of the proposed dance ithe sum Is a very
slight consideration. Scranton Is re
puted abroad for never doing things by
halves, in business or otherwise, but If
its social leaders demure against a fair
price for enjoying a society bull on a
par with the charity dances of larger
cities tihtire can be only one Inference
and that is, we are not quite up to It.

A project recently started by some of
the prominent young business men of
the city to c-sltabHslh a country club
house on the Elmhurst boulevard has
been abandoned. The-promoters of the
Idea went so far as to secure an option
on a piece of land and also negotiated
with Colonel U. G. Sohoonmaker for
the purchase of the Elmhurst hotel.
Thirty thousand dollars was asked for
the building and the plot of ground sur
rounding It and for a time tho most
ardent supporters of the country club
believed it possible to secure the prop
erty. All who were asked to become
Interested In the scheme were willing to
Incur the necessary pro rata expense,
but the hitch came in securing a suf
Ilalent number of members. Although
the Idea has been abandoned for the
present, it is probable that an effort
will be made in the same direction next
year.

Too Much to Ask Him to Open His llnrn

Dr. Seward Webb knows a good story
when he hears It, and he had a chance
to pick up many of that kind while
he was building his railroad through
tne Adirondacks. One of his collection
according to the New York Press, re
lates to nn old Welshman in a remote
hamlet In the woods, a hundred years
beiund the time a community to which
the Black River railroad was a trunk
line and the city of Utlca a great
metropolis. The surveyors had laid out
the line and the appraisers went
througli securing property. Olie of the
hardest men to handle was old Elder
Berlah Jones.
Nothing suited him. He objected to
the railroad, he protested against the
award and ho made as much trouble
as he possibly could. Finally he was
told that there was no help for it. that
they would have to run the railroad
through his barn. "Yeil do nothing of
the sort!" shouted the old man, vehe.
mently. "Run that railroad through
my barn? I'd like to see you do It! Do
you think I'm goin to get up and open
that barn door every time a train
whistles to go through?" Of course,
they had to pay him twice the value
of his barn before he would let them
take It away.

NATHAN HALE'S SADDLEBAGS.
X Relic of the Martyr Spy Owned in Con
necticut. A New Britain (Conn.) man. says the
New York Sun, has In his possession a
pair of queer, wrinkled, old-time sad
dlebags, and 'there is abundant reason
to believe that they belonged to Cap
tain Nathan Hale, the martyr spy.
Their present owner does not wish his
name published in connection with
them until he Is able to recover certain
papers proving the genuineness of the
relics, which have been mislaid. The
saddlebags are heirlooms und came to
him directly through an ex-governor of
Massachusetts. The owner of the bags
says:
"I have read the papers that go with
the bags, and am satisfied there Is no
doubt that they belonged to and were
carried by Nathan Hale."
I am prepared to receive a limited num
