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. In Ion Services. Union srvicea will be conducted on every evening of next week in some one of the West Bide churches. The West Side Ministers' association have decided upon the meetings, and they wll be held as follows: Monday even .

The meetings will be made 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.

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.

RELATIVES DO NOT WANT THEM 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 Shorter Paragraphs. 7ra. 8.
