Passing Events of the Day on the
West Side of the City Noted.
EXCITEMENT OX MAIN AVENUE
Caused bj a Runaway-Cutter Reduced to
Kindling Wood-Union Services to Ho
Held in the Churches-Accident
In Diamond Mine.
An exciting runaway occurred yester
day afternoon on South Main avenue.
Walter Janes, of Washburn street, and
Morgan Jenkins, a companion, hired a
horse and cutter from Undertaker Will
iam Price and went out for a ride. They
visited Taylor and were coming home
by way of Main avenue. When they
had reached the residence of John Hall
the cutter runners became lodged In the
car track, and as the young men en
deavored to turn out of the way of a
passing car the sleigh overturned,
throwing them out Into the snow.
The horse became frightened nnd
dashed up the avenue, soon converting
the once handsome cutter Into splinters
of flying wood. The horse kept up the
mad race, dashing through the busi
ness portion of the West Side, but for
tunately injuring no one. Tho shafts
were hanging to his back. The animal
was captured at length In Providence,
after a run of three miles, nnd brought
uninjured but weary to Price's livery.
Tho young men gathered the pieces of
njhe cutter together and settled for the
damage.

the subject, "Families and Schools."
The local pastors will deliver the

free to all and be of the revival and
thanksgiving nature. The attendances
will undoubtedly be large.
Timbering (Jove Away.
On Monday morning the timbering In
the top of the Diamond mine, which
had become weakened with age, fell In.
The location Is near the fan wheel
where the miners are let down Into the
workings. The shlve wheel wus thrown
out of place by the fall.
The mine was Idle when the fall oc
curred. If there had been uny men
about at the lime, or had the wheel
been hoisting the carriage, it would
have probably done serious Injury. Tho
damage is being repaired.
Singers Arc tntd tallied.
The male members of the Jackson
Street llaptist church were entertained
last evening at the home of Choir
Leader William H. Owen on North Lin
coln avenue. A very enjoyable time
was the result. During the evening
solos and duets were rendered by the
singers. Mr. Owen entertained his
guests in a royal manner. Among
those present were: Oeorge Nichols,
Klbrldge Dougherty, Thomas Howell,
Harry Davles, Itoy Williams, Eddie
Watklns, William Thomns and Emer
son Owen.

A Voluntary Statement.
Mrs. Ella H. Nolan, of 209 Stato street,
Auburn, N. Y., says:
For tho past scveij years I have been a
great sufferer from rheumatism und rheu
matic gout. My ankles, fent, wrists und
hands were swollen to an enormous size,
and I was unable to bend a Joint of them.
1 was compelled to crawl on my hands and
knees. A great part of tho time I was
confined to my bed, unable to holp my-
Beir in tne least, i nun mo nest medical
attendance, but obtained only temporary
relief. One day a gentleman railing upon
some business, seeing my helpless condi
tion, snld:
"If you wll get some of Dr. Potter'n
Rheumatic Pills, I think they will euro
you."
I did not have much faith, but I was in
such a helpless condition, could scarcely
move about, could not close my hands at
all, got up and down stairs sideways, that
I thought I would try the pills. Accord
ingly, I got two boxes of Dr. Potter's
Rheumatic Pills, and after taking them
three days, the pain all left me and has
never relumed even In the dnmpest
weather. Of course I was encouraged and
kept on taking them, nnd am entirely
cured. I bive now taken six boxes, anil
can do all my own housework without tho
least pain. The swelling is all gone, can
move my Joints naturally and feel as well
as ever I did. I cannot say too much In
praise of Dr. Potter's Rheumatic Pills
and will gladly sen any ono who will end
at my house, 209 State street, and verify
the truth of this statement. I heartily
recommend Dr. Potter's Rheumatio Pills
to all who suffer from rheumatism.
They are a radical cure for rheumatism,
Inflammatory rheumatism , gout, rheu
matic, gout, both acute and chronic, and
all diseases dopendlng upon and having
their origin In the uric diathesis. Prlco,

Stury Concerning tho Marrlugo of Miss
Ituhr and Eugene Tannler Was With
out Foundation-New Feed Wire
For the South Sido Lines.
The remains of Frank Penyak, the
Greek who was struck and killed by
Mie north bound 9 p. m. Delaware and
Hudson passenger train New Yuar's
night, He yet at the morgue in Under
taker Miller's establishment on Cedar
avenue. The man has a brother-in-law
living in Johnson's Patch, Dunmore,
but he will have nothing to do with In
curring any expense towtard giving the
dead man's 'burial.
Penynk boarded at Johnson's Patch
with Uils brother-in-law and was down
to Majernylk'a hull on Hickory street
to a ball. He wandered on the railroad
near the Dodgotown crossing and there
met his death. Patrolman Schmidt In
structed Undertaker Miller to remove
the 'body and now Mr. Miller is in a
quandary, since the man's relatives
have not 'been humane enough to look
after the funeral. Penyak worked as a
laborer In Johnson's mine and wages
amounting to $15 are due his account.
Unless Clio undertaker Is relieved of the
body by this afternoon, he Intends to
ship It to Philadelphia as a subject for
the dissecting table. Penyak was about
3ii years of age and has a wife and
three children In the old country.
Coroner Kelley empanelled a jury yes
terday to Inquire Into circumstances at
tending the death of Penyak. Pen
yak was walking the track about 9
o'clock on Tuesday night when the out
ward bound train struck him. The
Jurors were Churles E. Daniels, Thomas
Foeney, Thomas Stanton, Martin Bird,
E. J. White and James Harrlty and
will meet this morning at the coroner's
office on Lackawanna avenue to receive
further evidence.
Story Was Meanly False,
The South Side column of yesterday's
Tribune contained an article stating
that Miss Minnie A. Bahr. of Maple
Btreet, and Eugene Tannler, of Pltts
ton avenue, had been married In Blng
hamton on New Year's Day. A Trib
une reporter was led to believe from
certain representations that the story
was substantially true, but It developed
subsequently that not the leaBt bit of
truth was In the story. The families of
the young couple are highly respected
and most estimable people and the
young couple themselves are also vry
well thought of. There was no Inten
tion, on the part of The Tribune to do an
Injustice, and .with cheerfulness this
correction Is made. Miss Bahr was vis
iting her uncle in Carbondule on that
day and she was accompanied by two
of her lady friends. That circumstance
Is probably responsible for the story
concerning her marriage which gained
circulation through the efforts of some
person none too scrupulous about the
truth. i
