A.RECG1
Greca Ridge Waeelmea's Meet a Big
Success.
TWO STATE MARKS LOWERED
Best Tim Ever Made la Paasylvaaia
ia Class A Compatitloa-Uot Fight
for Lackawanna County Cham
plonshlp-Tho Other Usees.
The Qreen Ridge wheelmen have ev
ery reason to be gra-tltled over their
second annual meet. It was a success
In every feature. The attendance was
large, the day was almoft perfv the
track in excellent condition, and para
mount above all they attracted together
a large and excellent list of racers, two
of whom gave their mwl fame by
breaking a atate record.
This was done in the one mile and
half mile open, the principal events of
the day, and H. P. Slubber, of Storm
King. N. Y., and IWrt Ripley, of
Belmar N. J., wr the men
who did It. Moshers time waa
S.ll 4-5. which Is the fastest mile ever
made In the sta'.e of Pennsylvania In
open competition among class A riders.
The record heretofore was held by
Kriek. who recently, at Berwick. m'aJe
a mark of 8.14 4-5.
Mosher's performance Is a remark
able one considering the fact that he
ran on a half mile traok and hid a
strong head wind to contend with on
the home stretch. But for the wind he
would have undoubtedly beaten the
track record of S.U. which was made by
Titus on July 4 last, at which time tie
was champion of the state. Hefore
making his record 'breaking mile iMush-
er had rlddpn hard) In two raw besides
a preliminary heat Xor the mile open,
capturing the half mile open and later
on winning the two-mile lap ruoe.
Moaner is .the same rider that won
the mile open against a field of slxty
tlve at Asbury Park, riding In eleven
preliminary heats before the final race.
Bert Ripley, who mtule the half mile
record, scored a mark of 1.04. He had
the best men on the list to contend with
and won the most hotly contested race
of tlve. day. He had against him such
cracks as ilosher, Dlftendorfer. Miner,
Jack and Millard, besides our local
flyers, two of whom, Keller and Gard
ner, secured places in the preliminaries.
Feat of Local Men.
Again the old state record for a mile
went to smash whet the local speeders
contended for tha championship of
Lackawanna county. There were ten
entries and all started: Thomas K.
Lee. Carbondale; O. . Wonnacate,
Carbondale; B. P. Keller, Green Kldge
wheelmen: J. O. Cox. Green Ridge
wheelmen; George A. Gardner, Scran
ton Bicycle club; William iM. 'Xiunn,
Scrainton; J. B. Corser, Scranton Bi
cycle club; C. E. Coleman, Scranton Bi
cycle club; R. V. White, Green Ridge
wheelmen; F. P. Weyandt, Scranton.
Coleman won In 2.16 1-5, with Keller
second and Gardner third. These three
ran away from the bunioh at the turn
and coming on- thei stretch were goose
fashion after the tandem In the order
in which they finished. When they
spread out for the final grand spurt Kel
ler tried for a clear track on the out
side, but his speed was ibroken by hav
ing to make a quick and sudden swerve
to the side to avoid Coleman's rear
wheel, which keipt In his path. As Cole
man wus looking tack continually coin
ing down the stretch some were led to
believe that he had crowded Keller to
the outside fence, but the Judges did not
look at it in that lishrt, and wholly ex
onerated Coleman by awarding him the
race. Keller's friends urged him to
protest the race on the grounds that
Coleman Tniad a foul 'by looking back.
The rival local clubs were much
wrought up over the race before It took
place, and when It was ended and there
was an opportunity for disputing,
neither side failed to avail Itself of this
opportunity, las a consequence of which
the following race was greatly delayed
Summary of the Races.
There were eight events In all and
each had a big list of entries, and
there were but few of the enltrie that
did not start There were fifty-three
men on the card, ond of this number
only .three were Absent on account of
the postponement marie necessary by
Saturday's rain.

A tandem ridden .by Rub White and
Ralph Gregory paced the principal
races. Although these two boys have
been riding tandem for only about a
week they did their work In excellent
shape and never got In the iway of the
speedy ones.
During intermissions two exhibitions
in fancy riding were given, one by the
diminutive LeRoy Devenport, and the
other by Miles Gibbon, of this city.
The little fellow's work was very good,
and it might be said phenomenal for a
child of his tender years. Mr. Gib
bons essayed more difficult feats and
surprised everybody by his work, few of
his friends knowing that he was so re
markably clever In trick riding. He
does all of the most difficult feats per
formed by traveling trick riders, and
Introduced some of bis own which he
alone does.
The officers of the meet were: H. B.
Bunting, announcer and starter; Joseph
W. Gawiey, Jr., manager; John J. Van

Howard Davis, clerks of the course.
The Lawrence band from the elevated
ailcove In the new grand stand dis
coursed excellent music during the af
ternoon under the leadership of Profes
sor Lindsay, and in tHe evening ithe
Lawrence orchestra rendered a selected
programme at the club house, where
the distribution of the prices took place.

Filing Mechanics' Liens Against
Lain aad Traction Company.
J. 'II. Lalne yesterday decided to re
main In the county Jail rather than
sign a piper agreeing not to prosecute
his creditors In the event of his release.
On their part they agreed to withdraw
the charges made against Mr. Lalne In
the event of his signing the paper.
'Before I sign Out paper you tan
leave me here until I rot and then take
my bones out and bury them In pot
ter's field." was Mr. -Lalne's reply. He
Is particularly Incensed against Mr.
Alexander, who conducted the cigar
stand at the park, and declares that he
will proceed against him as soon as he
secures his liberty.
lilr. Lalne. it Is reported, received an
offer a day or two ago to manage one
of the departments of the Atlanta ex
position, 'but telegraphed that he could
not do so, as he was In Jail I here.
After the conference of the creditors
with Mr. Lalne at the county Jail, At
torney John F. Be r a Kg filed mechanics'
liens against the Scranton Traction
company a.nd J. H. Lalne for Benore St
Son and Thomas F. -Mullen to collect

MISS KAISER'S SUCCESS.
The Tribune's London Correspondent
Winning Fresh Laurels as a Vocalist.
According to all accounts the London
successes of Miss Madia Kaiser, as a
vocalist, have surpassed the hopes of
her most saugulne admirers and friends
on this side of Wie Atlantic. Many
Tribuno readers, who have been
charmed by iMIss Kaiser's entertaining
London letters that have appeared In
our columns from time to time, will be
pleased to learn that the accomplished
writer has succeeded beyond all ex
pectation In her musical studies and
that her efforts receive nothing but the
highest commendation from the usual
ly critical English and Welsh musical
Journals when she appears In concert
In London. The recognition of Miss
Kaiser's talents by the faculty ot the
Royal Academy of Music la shown by
the fact that she has been selected out
of a class oif 200 sopranos to sing at the
students' chamber concerts and also at
the fortnightly concerts at the acad
emy. The London Musical News, In a criti
cism of a recent concert, speaks ot Miss
Kaiser as follows:
"The most successful of the vocalists
was Miss Sadie Kataer, who sang Bam
berg's 'Nymph and Fauns' with charm
and facility," This is high praise when
the fact Is considered ithait the News Is
one of the leading musical publications
In England, and the beat vocalists of
the Royal Academy were on the pro
gramme. The Glamorgan Free Press Is still
more enthusiastic. Referring to Miss
Kaiser's last appearance there this pa
per says: "This lady no,t only pos
sesses a most remarkable volume and
compass of voice, but also thalt Irre
sistible style of 'staging' which wins
the approbation of every one in the
audience. She sang Bishop's 'Lo, Hear'
the Gentle Lark' almost Indescribably
beautifully. It Is, without doubt, one
of the hardest soprano solos ever com
posed, but it was mastered by Miss
Kaiser. Too muoh praise cannot be
given the lady, as the feeling of the
audience showed when, they Insisted on
having the last part repeated."
It Is possible thait Miss Kaiser may
return to America in the fall, when her
Scranton friends will doubtless be again
given an opportunity ot hearing her In
concert work.
FRANK EHRGOOD CAPTURED.

'from the stable of Benjamin Davles, of
Main a venue, all of which were stolen

Young Man' Serious Fall from a Bridge
on South Washington Avenue.
Charles Sohlager, aged 20 years, em'
ployed by the Lackawanna, Iron and
Steel company, fell from the bridge
that crosses the Roaring Brook on
South Washington avenue, yesterday

bruised.
He was taken In the ambulance to

that he will not be alble to leave it for
six weeks.

James Cawley, of 'Railroad avenue,
was caught between cars while mak
ing a coupling on the Bloomaburg

morning.

he sustained a num'ber of bruises. He
was taken to the 'Mores Taylor hospital.

GATHERED HERE AND THERE.
Colonel E. H. Ripple, Major W. 8. Mil
lar and Sergeant W. H. Burke have any
thing but pleasant recollections of their
visit to the encampment of the First
brigade at Sanatoga, Montgomery county.
held last week simultaneous with the
Third brigade's encampment at Mount
Gretna. Colonel Ripple and Sergeant
uurke aa members of tho governor's staff.
and Major Millar as guard Inspector on
the general's staff, remained three days
at Mount Gretna and four days at Sana-
toga. At the latter place there is some
pestiferous, Invisible insect called a wood
tick, which creeps up from the ground
along the n'ther limbs of everybody on
the grounds, buries himself under the
skin and dies of exceaslve blood suckinir,
These Insects are as Innumerable as sands
on the banks of the Nile; they can be
seen only under the rays of a microscope,
and for persistent activity they cannot be
excelled; so that after a person Is on tho
grounds a few hours his thighs are a per
fect mass or small bolls, that are Infernally
itchy. The Insects are no respecter of
sexes, ages or conditions. It will be
week before these three Scrantonlans can
forget the devilish little wood tick.
Alderman Post, In conversing with a
Tribune reporter yesterday, snld that In
the twenty-nve years he has been alder
man In this city, the grand jury of the
county court found a true bill against
only one man returned by him for a vio
lation of the liquor laws. The men who
would swear out the warrants had good
evidence In the alderman's court, but
their witnesses seemed to go Into hiding
when it came to going before the grand
Jury. This Is the secret why so many Ig
nored bills are returned. It Is not because
the jurymen are altogether friendly to
ward the liquor sellers; hut It is because
the prosecutor cannot get his witnesses
around, and therefore the case falls.
Another abnormal death rate, like that
of the week preceding. Is reported by the
hoard 'of health last week. 'Forty-five
deaths resulted from all causes. The
deaths numbered fifty-two for tho week
of July 14. The normal rate la about
twenty-six. During Inst we-k there wns
one new case of typhoid fever, three now
cases of scarlet fever nnd two new ca?s
and ono death from diphtheria. The In
creased mortality of the past two weeks
Is ascribed to sudden chanires In tha
weather and choleralo trouble among
DBDies ana cniiuren.

Attorney Cornelius Smith's troubles will
net end with the civil libel suit that has
been Instituted against him by Attorney I.
H. Burns. It was reported yesterday that
relative of th lata Judge Connolly wire
seriously considering the matter of hav
ing Mr. Smith arrested on a criminal
charge of libel.
J. R. Beetem returned yesterday from
Philadelphia, where he looked over the
lines he will have hereafter under his
charge. Until hi successor as general
manager of the Scranton Traction com
pany is named he will give a general su
pervision to the lines In this city.

TERRORIZED SCHOOL CHILDREN
When Principal Tried to Pat Him Ont
Mushier Strsek Him In th Fse-Shr
Iff Marphy and Constable Browa
Sncssaded In Getting Uia to Jail.
About three years ago Matthew
Moehler, a glaasblower, formerly em
ployed at the gtass works of C. Dor
dinger A Sons, at Honesdale, was in
jured on the head In a wreck on the Erie
road ait Conning, N. Y. Since then he
lias resided at White Mills and has
been demented and lately has been
gradually growing worse, until yester
day morning hlB relatives persuaded
him to go to Honesdale, purposing to
have him locked up in the county Jail.
Iteachtng that place albout 9 o'clock
ho slipped away from his brother and
tried to gain admlHslon to the Presby
terian church. Falling in this he wan
dered down Second ptrect until he
reached the German Lutheran church,
which he tried to enter but could not.
Finding tha parochial school Imme
diately In the rear open, he walked In
and proceeded to make an Incoherent
speech to the frightened scholars.
Principal George Staegmyer took
him by the shoulder and gradually
forced him out. He again entered and
was again forced out, when Ke sud
denly turned and struck Staegmyer a
powerful blow on the head, which felled
htm, and then began to pummel him,
The school was Immediately in an up
roar; the scholurs screaming and mak
ing their exit through the windows
as best they could.
Sheriff Murphy, a stalwart six-footer,
was looking for Mushier and fontunate'
ly appeared on the scene at this mo
ment, accompanied by Constable Cal
Brown. They grabbed Moshler, but he
turned on the constable and sent him
reeling. He was finally secured with
ropes and put In Whlltney'a 'bus and
taken over to the Jail, where he was
locked up.
Wayne county has been seriously In
fested with grasshoppers this summer,
and one of Morhler's delusions Is that
he brought them here.
