PURE FOOD EXPOSITION LOST CONTROL OF ENGINE Fatal Accident on the Tea Coal Dump at the Archbaltl Mine. . THEODORE HALE LOST HIS LIFE William Morgan Who Was with the I n- fortunate Alan Seriously Injured-Engineer May Saved His Life by J limp ing from the Flying Locomotive. A terrible accident occurred yester day a few minutes before 9 o'clock at the Archbald breaker of the Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western Rail road company on the back road at the foot of the West mountain In Key ser valley in Lackawanna township. Theodore Hale, assistant outside fore man, and William Morgan, an outside employe, received such terrible injuries that Mr. Hule died a few hours later, but Mr. Morgan is yet alive and the chances are In favor of his recovery, al though he Is suffering from broken legs and serious internal injuries. A small locomotive is used on the pea coal dump to haul the cars loaded with that size coal from the breaker. The engineer of the locomotive is Harry May, und when the engine was on Its wuy up an incline, the slippery con dition of the rallB caused the wheels of the machine to slide, and although the engineer diil all In his power by revers ing his levers and applying sand to the rulls the locomotive sped on and could not be controlled. Engineer May did not Jump until he saw It was no fur ther use to try ' and stop the en gine from going pell mell down the plane, und the men ut the bottom were not aware of their danger until It was too late for .them to escape. Assistant Foreman Hale and Mr. Morgan were engaged in making repairs at the foot of the triune, and before they realized the peril of their position the engine struck them and hurled them with awful and sudden force against a small shanty. The impetus of the runaway engine was so great that It crashed entirely through a Bmall but solid and substantial oillce building at the but torn of the plane, wrecking it and smashing the walls and roof to splint ers. leiith of Theodore Hale. The Injured men were covered be neath a heap of broken lumber and they were quickly released. J.r. D. ft, Hand was sent for arid he arrived hur riedly. All efforts to save the life of Mr. Hale proved unavailing, and he died after three hours of excrutlatlnj- suffering. He was a young man 2C years of age and was recently married, He was an employe at the Archbald bleaker for a number of years, and by his energy and carefulness was re, warded not long ago by the appoint ment of assistant to Superintendent John Fern. He lived at 1304 Wnshburn street, and leaves a youns widow but no children. The other injured man, Mr. Morgan was taken to his home In Park Hill, and at a late hour last night he was rest ing quite comfortably. There is no blame attached to the engineer of the locomotive, as reports agree that he did his best to prevent the engine from getting away. Coroner Kelley did not hold an In quest as he had not been notified of the accident' last night, and he will not empanel a Jury until he Is first told to do so by Mine Inspector Blewltt, who, under the law. must make an exam ination of the circumstances. The damage will amount to a few thousand dollars. RAILROAD NOTES. A quarterly dividend of 1 per cent, has been declared by the Central Rail road of New Jersey. Owing to the gross nbuse of clerical permits on Its line, the New York Cen tral has instructed its agents not to Issue any 111 the future. Several engines were laId off on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western at Hlnghsi'm'ton on Wednesday for the purpose of a general cleaning. Additional trains will be run by the Lehigh Valley railroad between Wilkes-Darrei and Avoca In order to compete with the Tracton company. Peter Richards Is being congratulat ed upon his appointment as foreman of the erecting whop at the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western locomotive works. The coal (train In charge of Conduc tor Barber, of Great Bend, was wrecked on Wednesday night near Foster owing to the breaking of a wheel. Brakeman Magulre was slightly Injured. - Mr. and 'Mrs. Charles Hamlin, of the Great Bend, have the sympathy of large circle of friends In the loss of their son George, who was killed on the New York Central railroad last week. Luzerne courts are this week en gaged in deciding whether the injunc tion prohibiting the Traction company crossing the Delaware and Hudson railroad at 'Smlthvllle shall be dis solved. Annual passes of tho Pennsylvania will hereafter be Issued on safety paper, The number of the pass will be per forated and other means adopted to keep them from being handled by scalpers. One result of the abolition of pnsscs to the legislators of New York state is ji growing feeling among them toward re duclng passenger rates to 2 cents a mile, Such a bill will be presented and from present Indications will probably pass, The result of the coal war has al ready been felt by the workmen In the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western machine shops. It is stated that the pay of the best mechanic averages from $1.85 to $2.25 a day instead of from $2.50 to $3.50 per day. William Spclwell, employed as painter nt the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western car shops, was yesterday admitted to the Moses Taylor hospital suffering from dropsy. Upon Inquiry being made last night he was reported to be resting comfortably. From the recently Issued official re ports It Is noted that during the past year that the whole number of railroad employes In the United States who met with fatal accidents was 2,727, number Injured 31,729. The total number of railroad fatalities, including all per sons, was 7,047; Injured 87,164. A good story has Just leaked out as to a well known railroader und popular conductor who wore out hunt ing on Pucono and were frightened by the appearance of a bear. They dropped their -loaded guns at the sight of 'Bruno and climbed a tree. Judge of their amazement when they found it to be their own dog rushing; through the high grass. They are busy ex plaining that it was one of those opti cal delusions wlildh are so delusive.

Holllster, of this city, and Charles Gngel, of Dun- more, went to the Eastern penitentiary to serve terms of three years each on the charge of robbery. They were re leased yesterday from the Eastern peni tentiary, three months having been de ducted from their term of imprison ment by virtue of their good behavior while Incarcerated. These men, together with an accom plice named Wallace Snow, hud planned to rob the pay oillce of the Spencer colliery at Dunmore. When the time arrived for the men to carry out their purpose the police arrested them, Snow having betrayed his accomplices. Holllster and Engel had always been considered upright und honest citizens, and their arrest created a great sensa tion. Their trial was watched with In terest, and when convicted an appeal was taken to the supreme court, which was decided against Holllster and 3ngel and they were Bent to the peni tentiary to serve the terms of Impris onment which have Just expired. EVANGELISTIC SERVICES. To Ue Continued ut Second Presbyterian Church Next Week. Evangelistic services have been held with great success during the week at the Second Presbyterian church, and will be continued until Friday next. The meetings ure preceded by, a ser vice of gong at 7.30 p. m., when W. C Wceden has charge of the music and renders several selections of evangel istic music. Rev. Charles E. Robinson pastor, delivers special sermons, which ure brief and very appropriate and have, during the week, attracted a con siderable number to the services. ' NOTED ABOUT TOWN. A fiendish nttack was made on "Two Little Girls In Blue" by a street band In Penn avenue yesterday afternoon. Not satisfied with their onsluught on the little girls, whose only offence was the wearing of blue, the wandering brass blowers turned their batteries on "My Pearl Is a Bowery Girl." When they concluded the most ardent admire of that cultured lady would senrcely term her "a peach." Other Indies equally as well known to fame through the efforts of the serio-comic artists Buffered similar treatment. Those enterprising and progressive carpet and drapery dealers, Kerr & Slebecker, have decided to Increase the membership of the firm by admitting Albert N. Kerr and George W. Watkins as partners. The former is a son of the senior member of the firm, and has had charge of the Carbondale branch of the house. Mr. Watkins has had charge of the drapery department in tho Scranton store for a long time. The new firm name is Kerr, Slebecker & Co. The rain and high wind last night kept pedestrians off the streets and gave the principal thoroughfares of the city a deserted appenrance. From now until Feb. 19 the ward statesman and his thirst will be very much In evidence. IN LOCAL THEATERS. Wilfred Clarke, one of the leading ex ponents of refined comedy now appeal ing before the public, will be nt the Frothlngham Friday and Saturday evenings and Saturday afternoon, when he will present "The Widow Hunt" and Tit for Tat." With Mr. Clarke's com pany will be D. W. Seism, a Scranton lan, and a former lieutenant of Com pany C, of the Thirteenth regiment It Is understood that Mr. Seism's old comrades In the National guard will attend the performances in force and give their ex-offlcer a rousing recep tlon. Besides Mr. Seism Mr. Clarke's company comprises a number of really capable actors, anl It Is certain tha Scrantonlans who attend these per formances at the Frothlngham will be treated to unexcelled presentations of bright, sparkling comedy comedy of the kind that Is mirth provoking with out the aid of variety actors and slangy expressions of the street. II II One of the faults to find with minstrel companies Is that most of the come- dlans are very much alike In their methods. This season Lew Dockstader has, by searching fur and wide, organ ized a company In which each come dlan Is widely different In his actions, dialect and methods. One of the come dlans, who will be entirely new to his audiences, will beTrank H. White peculiarly droll and odd young man totally different from any comedian ever connected with this company. Lew says that when you henr his luugh you'll Join him, you can't help It and his odd sayings will be utilized, long after the company has departed, by the local funny mon about town. Lew Dockstader and his own company will be seen at the Academy of Music this evening. II II II "O'Nell, Washington, D. C." by Daniel L. Hart, of Wllkes-Barre, one of the most pronounced successes of the season, will be presented at the Acad emy of Music on Monday evening, Jan, 14, with the ever popular comedian Daniel Sully, In the title role. It Is said that the company In Mr. Sully' support is by far the strongest that has ever surrounded him; Indeed, th' requirements of the pluy are such that they could scarcely be met by mediocre artists. Mr. Sully's performance has met with the warmest praise through out the country where the play has been presented, and the little things that go to Indicate success are In the air, having preceded his advent In waives of commendation. II II II Kdwin Shapley, son of the well known Philadelphia lawyer, has made a hit In the leading Juvenile role of "On the Bowery" that of the rtporter. This piece, by the wny, continues to break the season's record for Inrge business at every theater where It appears.

AMI WILL BE MANAGER 1 Signed for That Position by the Scranton Base Ball Association WILL HAVE ABSOLUTE C0XTK0L Mr. Barn to Hud a Conference with Presi dent lletts and Directors of Club at Which It Was Settled That Ha Should Manage the Team. BUlie Barnile, of Brooklyn, N. Y., wHl manage the Scramtoiii Base Ball club next season. He yesterday signed a contract with President W. L. 'Betts, of the Scranton ssaciatlon, agreeing to do so. He promises to give the people of Scranton a base bail club worthy of their sup port. He wtlll have absolute control of the men. There has been considerable corres ponds mice -during the past few weeks between Mr. liarnle and President Butts about the management of the Scranton club, which resulted in, Mr. Uarnle coming to this city Wednes day night. He had a conference with Mr. Bctts aind several of the directors and at 4 p. to. he waa on his way back to the City of Churches with a signed contract In hits Inside pocket. On Feb. 1 Mr. Barnle will come to this city to iresltte and will give his whole attention to the problem of getting to gether h teaim that will be strong In all lripartments. He 'has a big contract on hand, but believes that he will bv reasonably successful in his efforts. Satisfied with the Work. Concerning the men reserved and un der contract with Scianiton Mr. Bartnle xpreraed himself us perfectly satis fied. By filling up the vacant positions n the team with men equally as good lite bdlieves Surainton will have a cilub that will cult quite a swath In the liaisit- ern -ltagua. Pickett, of Troy, with whom Presi dt-int Bttta has been negotiating for the positions of captain and second base, is a fine ball player, Mr. Uarnle say.-i, although a trlile heavy. He plays his position In admirable style, however, and would be a valuable addition to the team. If Pickett does not display any great eagerness to sign a Soranton contract, some one else will be secured Just now 'bam players 'are very plentiful w'ho are anxious to sign with clubs that pay salaries in something more tan gible than promises. President Betts during the last month has received scores of applications from all grades and claisses of players who want an opportunity to distin guish themselves on the Scranton dia mond. All of Ithese letters were yes terday turned over to Mr. Uarnle. A Nutioniil League Manager. The now manager of the Scranton club Was had an extended experience in the base baill business, having been manager of the Baltimore a.nd Louis ville clubs of the National league for a number of .years. Ho was also Identified with the recent project to form an American associa tion of base bail clubs, which awak ened suoh fierce opposition among the oflloers of the National leagu-e. Many of the local base ball men were anxious to secure the services of John Haiiiilon for manager, but he coquetted with the offer to such an extent thiait the officials of the club decided not to run the risk of being without a man ager, and, therefore, signed Barnile when the opportunity offered Itself. AFRAID OF THE RAIX. The Cause That Prevented a Meeting of Prohibitionists Last Night. Eaough to constitute a quorum was not present nt Conservatory hall on Lackawanna avenue last night, where a meeting of the Prohibitionists of the city was to take place.
