A STABBING AFFAIR.
Lynch Escaped Iicath by a Sixteenth of an
men.
Daniel Lynch, a former resident
this city, an employe of J. H. Byrne,
had a narrow escape from ueatn iui'a
day night, being stabbed by a person
whom he was trying to arrest, a youns?
man. It Is Just by the merest chance
that Mr. Lynch Is now alive, ns tnu
knife nearly entered the heurfand the
rreat aorta, the artery leading irom
the heart, but being missed by a six
teenth of an inch.
The person who did the stabblnK was
Billy boughney. Loughney and his
brother. -Hunt." had climbed into the
wagon of Mr. Hyme and had rlddr
gome distance. Soon after they got out
a lug of whiskey was missed by the
driver. Heuben Sears, who found that
it had been taken by the Ixnighnoys,
In coinuunv with Mr. Lynch. Sears
went to the olllce of Justice l'.ryde
where wnrrants for their arrests wer
mutle out.
They did not have to search for the
Loughnoys. for both were standing;
near the office, lillly having an ope
knife in his hand.
As soon ns Justice Tlrydcn saw the
two men he deputized two persons
standing near to arrest them. The
men were Lynch and a blacksmith
named Schein.
ltoth started for the men and Schein
seized "Bunt." 'Billy" did not wait
however, but went oil" at the top of his
speed. .Mr. Lynch In pursuit. Lytic n
was gaining on Loughney. when he
suddenly turned and struck at him with
the open knife, trying to hit his heart
Mr. Lynch had seen the sudden move
ment and had Just time to put out his
arm when he was struck. This save
his life, however, as part of the fore
of the blow was spent on the arm. A
It was, the knife entered his body
a little to the side of the heart, mukln
a gash about four Inches long and two
Inches deep, the blade coming within a
sixteenth of an Inch of the aorta.
Both young desperadoes seemed sorry
that the blow hail not been more fatal
and the tlrst expression of "Bunt," as
his brother was brought up, was om
regret.
Both are evidently hardened villains,
as 'they take their arrest very coolly,
They have two brothers, both of whom
are in Jail for long terms. The young
man was taken to the county la II on a
warrant received from Justieetllynn ami
the cases will be pushed as far as possl
ble, so that the would-be highwayman
and murderer will be sure of serving a
long term before he Is ncstin free. The
charges brought against him were lar
ceny ami an attempt to kill.

The Young Man llnJ u (iood Time While
It l.asieJ.
Tuesday a young man who gave his
name as Thomas Kane hired u horse
at Pierce Sutler's livery, on North
Main street, to drive to Crystal Lake.
From the lake he went to Forest City
ami drove home, arriving about 1,
o'clock. Instead of taking the horse to
the stable, Kane amused himself by
driving around town, putting the horse
to the top of his speed.
Some one saw the manner In which
he was using ithe animal and reported
him at the stable. Mr. Snyder nt once
started out to find the would-be Jockey,
ami when ho reached the corner of
Salem avenue and i.Main street saw
Kane dilvlnff up DundalT street. He
nt once started ill pursuit but was un
able to catch him as he was on foot.
However, one of the employes at the
livery happened to becoming down the
street at the time on horseback, and he
Snyder take ills horse. Kane had
got unite a stnrt, but his horse was
tired alter its long journey and Snyder
steadily gained. At Barrett's store, on
Fallbrool; street, he overtook the car
riage, but Kane did not wait to see
what would happen but jumped from
the buggy and lied. Mr. Snyder brought
the horse and carriage to the stable
and then 1iad a warrant sworn out
against Kane fur misusing the horse.
RACES ARK OFF.
The I'irst Kay's Kacvs Vcrv Kxcltlng and
Interesting.
The first day's races nt Anthracite
park were held Tuesday and proved to
be very exciting and interesting. Two
events were run on Tuesday, the :.;'
class and the i.:'4 class. Three heats
were run In the tlrst and four in the
second. Bird, belonging to lr. K. T.
Avery, of Tunkhannock. won the I..".')
and Maud L. owned by rr. Porteus,
took the 2.S4. There was considerable
disappointment because Levi Patter
son's Bessie Best did not make a better
showing. She was In too fast company.
N'o races were run yesterday, as Ait-
ken, on figuring up the proceeds of the
day, found that there was considerable
loss. He at once declared the rest of
the races off. The many horsemen
around the Aitken -building were loud
In flielr anger against him and vented
their feelings In pretty strong language.
Several of the prominent men made
an effort to raise money and have the
races on Friday and Saturday. It was
thought that Aitken would give the
trk free, but he demands $:',." for Its
use. which, wltn the already large ex
penses Incurred by tho'mon, brings 'ie
expenses too nigh, so ;nat tne eflort
may not be successful.
COMMON COUNCIL MEET.
The City Is l iable In tho f ight h Avenue

ing of the common council, those pres

Considerable discussion In regard to
the fire alarm systi m was engaged In.

to the Kighth avenue bridge, and a
ccmmunlcatlon from Solicitor Stuart
was read.
The solicitor said the city was liable
r any accident which mlgh't occur, ns
city Is obliged to keep the bridges In
safe condition. - The fact that the
Fraction company's tracks cross the
iver on the bridge makes no difference.

THE LINCOLN CULT.'
From the Times-Herald.
There Is In America but ono cult, nnd
that Is the Lincoln cult. Ten years ago
the small beginnings of a Naisdeon
cult were observed in France, ami as
times passed the influence of the study
passed the frontiers of that country
and occupied t heat tention of the world.
We learned more of the great Corslcan
than ever had been known before. The
Napoleon scholar wns bettor Informed
as to the motives, the details of life
aims and the secret purposes of Na
poloon than his closest advisers In life
had been. This wns easily explained
by the fact that Napoleon kept his
counsel. Those Immedlalcly about him
were never trusted and, perhaps, with
gisid reason. One man here was In
trusted with a little enough for the
accoiuillihiiient of the purpose for
which he was selected by the emperor.
Another became the recipient of differ
ent data. Ami so on till campaigns re
sulted In Victories; till diplomacy ended
In French success. But the tolal was
not known to anyone at any time. It
was only after nenrly it century hud

passed, till careful collecting hero and
there, all over the world. In libraries,
in pilvate collections and public gal
larles, till logic was added to observa
tion, till the true understanding of Na
poleon was arrived at; that the stature
of the man was accurately measured.
Latterly that cult was displaced, or
It is now in process of displacement, by
the Joan of Are. Tliat mysterious fig
ure which iippcnrc.l dimly across the
distant sky, which was denied an uc
tual existence by many, which was only
vaguely believed by most, became the
center of study. Who she was, where
she mine from, what she did, the man
ner of her death all these became Im
portant iiiesllons, and they were stud
ied day by day and night alter night,
till in-'; all Fi'ince was great enough to
contain the dllllgent class of pupils.
But to Americans there has never un
til now been a national cult. Today
there Is one. Almost imperceptibly
the interest In Lincoln has awakened.
Although much had been written about
the man, covering, it would seem, all
that could be discovered III his life, the
rise of Interest In his chnracter and
his work discovered much mure, labored
dllllgently at n better arrangement,
sought for n clearer understanding
nnd the result Is that no word which
in any way throws light on Lincoln or
his times Is void of interest. Not the
west alone, but the whole country, Is
studying Lincoln. Not the politicians
alone, nor the historians, but the whole,
body of the people turn with Interest
to whatever may Instruct them us to
the life and character of Abraham Lin
coln.
Tho life of Lincoln has never yet
been written. Some view the man
from a single point, and dwarf what
Is great, because it is unseen. Of many
the criticism is nol loo severe that they
tire "I.Ives of Me and Lincoln." But
they nre all valuable in that thev col
lect In some measure and arramre with
some system the facts on which the
proper estimate of this greatest Ameri
can must be based, perhaps to the
lid of the civil war the figure of Wash
ington stood as the most notable type
of Amei kwnlsni. iBut time taught us
that great man as he was he was not
typically American. A centuiy of na
tional life was required before the na
tional character could be developed.
He must be a product of the Interior,
unmolded by the Influences felt at the
coast. He must come from the com
mon people, the nation makers, nnd be
himself a nation maker. He must pos
sess the qualities that made Washing
ton great, and other finalities that
never were called to the trial In Wash
ington's time. And so we enter upon
the study of Abraham Lincoln.' He
was of all men ever lifted Into national
view the best type of our national life.
His strength, his resolution, his hon
esty, his craft, his foreslght,.hls succors,
were but the rays of light from t ho
lamp of Americanism focused In the
character of a man. If he were crude,
so were the people he tvplllod. If he
were noble, so must they have been
so may they continue till his grout soul
shall permeate us all!
