William Stettcr Scooptd I'p and Carried
Two Hundred Feet by Fender on
North Main Avenue. .
That the Scranton Traction company a
present fenders fend was realistically
Known last evening by an episode on
North Main avenue. William Stetter,
age 25, who la Hlishtly deaf, was cross-.
In the North Main avenue street car
tracks at 9.30 o'clock. Cnr 113, bound
for the central city struck him and
Btetter heavllly sat In the fender and
was carried about 200 feet. He sprang
out when the car had slackened Its
spend suttlciently.
" It was the first clear test of the
new fender and It resulted wholly In the
company's favor. Stetter was badly
frightened and has a small bruise on
the arm, -from contact with the fender.
After alighting from his Iron nest he
began to abuse the conductor and was
seemingly none the worse oft for his
escapade. A fact which shows that the
fender Is a gentle receptacle Is that
Btetter held a pipe In his mouth when
Struck and when he -regained the pipe
still complacently, rested between his
teeth. ' . ' , . ' i
The motnrman claims that he rang
the bell but Btetter's deafness pre
vented him from hearing the warning
and he was picked up anu carried.

THE BOILERS WERE DRY.
Explanation of tho Awful Catastrophe
Sin Which Forty l.lveWcre Lost.
Detroit. Mich., Nov. 7. A dry boiler,
not a drop of water tell the whole
story cf yesterday's terrible, catas
trophe, oaused by an explosion of tho
easteny boiler and aniay be both.
This fact was 'definitely settled this
morning when A. H. Wl.itmore, one
of the best boiler experts In the city,
crawled under the wet and twisted
timber?, and duff out tho debris to
the plnee v here the battery of boilers
was located. The westerly boiler was
nut In place, and It Is believed that It
was also exploded. .Boiler Inspector
Mollregor inclines to" the ' theory that
both bo7ers went out, and Is emphatic
In his rt.iteme-it that there was not a
drop of water in the east boiler when
she went out.
"It was as dry as a powder mill, and
when we find tho whole business the
conditions will prove this. I thjnk that
both boilers were split across at tho
seams; If they had opened lengthwise
titer? would have t een a side force that
wculd hove taken the walls in both
directions," was the boiler Inspector's
cplanatlon.- i - t
Knsinr er N. K. Thompsan, who was
In charge of the fci tiers, pays there
was plenty cf water in the boilers,
but his statement is not believed. He
will, undoubtedly, "be htld by the cor
oner's 2ury. - .
LANCASTER'S ULUE LAWS.
Movement to Clnso Stores and Places of
Amnscmcnt on Sunday.
Lancaster, Nov. 7. At the meeting
of city councils las evening an ordi
nance was presented, which If It passes
will conrpel the mayor to close all dubs,
places of amusement, 'barber shops,
cigar stores, 4ce -ream saloons and
similar places, and prohibit the sale
of newspapers on, the streets or at
stands on Sunday.
The ordinance Is being pusihed by
a number of ministers and church peo
ple, and tonight It was referred to the
police', comtnlttee. ' The jtrem'bers of
council are considerably exercised over
It, as they do not know what to do. A
fi'.milar movement some years ago de
feated the Republican candidate for
mayor, and councllmen are timid about
touching-it.

MY FINANCIAL CAREER.
Here is the cleverest short story
printed In many a day. It was origin
ally published In "The Bookkeeper"
and Is written by K. A. Nash, whose
name is new to story readers.
When I go into a bank I get rattled.
The clerks raKle me; the wickets rattle
me; the sight of the money rattles me;
evetything ralMes me. The moment I
cross tho threshold of a bank I am a
hesitating jay. If I attempt to trans
act business there I become an Irre
sponsible id.ct. I knew this before
hand, '.mt my salary had been raised
$r0 a month, and I felt that the bank
was the only place for it. So I shambled
in and looked timidly around at the
clerks. I had an Idea that a person
about to open an account must needs
consult the manager. I went up to a
wicket mari'ed "Aeeoumtant." The ac
countant , a tall, cool devil. The
very sight of him rattled me. My
voice was sepulchral.
"Can I see 'the manager," I said, and
added solemnly, "alone?" I don't know
why I said "alone." -
"Certainly," said the accountant, and
fetched him. The manager was a grave,
calm man. I held my l6 clutched in
a crumpled ball In my pocket. . .
"Are.;you the manager?" I asked.
God knows I didn't doubt It.
"Yes," he said. t ' '
"Can I see you," I asked, "atone?" I
didn't want to say "alone" again, but
without tt the thing seemed self-evident.
The manager looked at me In
some alarm. He felt that I had an
awful secret to reveal.
"Come In here," he said, and led tho
way to a private room. He turned the
key In the lock. '
"We are safe from Interruption here,"
he said. "Slit down." "We both sat
down and looked at one another, I
found no voice to ' speak.
"You are one of Plnkerton's men, I
presume," he said. He had gathered
from my mysterious manner that I was
a detective. I knew what he was
thinking, and It made me worse.
"No, not from Plnkerton's," I said,
seemingly to imply that I came from
a rival agency. "To tell the trtjth," I
went ort, as If I had been prompted to
He about It, "I'm not a detective at all.
I've come to open an account. I Intend
to keep all my money in this "bank."
The manager looked relieved, but still
serious; he concluded now that I was
a son of Baron Rothschild, or a young
Gould.-
"A large amount. I suppose," he said.
"Fairly large,"' I whimpered. "I pro
pose to deposit llfty-slx dollars now
and fifty dollars a month regularly."
The manager got up and opened the
door. He called to the accountant.
"Mr. Montgomery," he said unkindly
loud, "this gentleman Is opening an ac
count; he will deposit $56. Good morn
ing." I rose. A big iron door stood
open at the side of the room.
"Good morning," I said, and stepped
Into the safe.
"Come out," said the manager cold
ly, and showed me the other way. I
went up to the accountant's wicket and
poked the ball of money at him with
a quick, conclusive movement, as If I
were doing a conjuring trick. My face
wss ghastly pale.
"Here," I said, "deposit It." The tone
of the words seemed to mean, "let us
do this painful thing while the fit is on
us." He took the money and gave It
to another clerk. Ha made me write
the sum on a slip of paper and sign my
name In the book. I' no longer knew
what I was doing. The bank swam be
fore my eyes.
"Is It deposited?" I asked in a hollow,
Vibrating voice. .: i
"It Is," said the accountant. . ,
"The i I want to draw a check."
My idea was to draw out $6 for pres
ent uv. Hone one save me a chcl.
book through a tvicVet. and some -jfie
e'a-j besun ttlltiig me how to write It
out. The people In the bank had th?
Impression that I was an invalid m'l
llonaire. I wrote something on th.
check and thrust it in at the clerk. He
looked at It.
"What! Are you drawing It all out
again?" he asked in surprise. Then I
realised that I had written 1 $5 In
stead of $6. I had a feeling that it was
Impossible to explain the thing. All
the clerks had stopped writing to look
at me. 'Reckless with misery, I made
a plunge. ......
"Yes, the whole thing."
"You withdraw your money from the
bank?"
"Every cent of It."
"Are you ntft going to deposit any
more?" asked the clerk, astonished.
"Never," An idiotic hope struck me
that they might think something had
Insulted me while I was writing the
check, and that I had changed my
mind. I made a wretched atempt to
lock like a man with a fearfully quick
temper. - The, clerk prepared to pay the
money.
"How will you have HT"
' "What?"
"How will you have It?"
. "Oh." I caught his .meaning and an
swered, without even trying to think,
"In fifties.", He gave tne a fifty-dollar
bill. ' !
"And the six? he asked, dryly.
'In sixes," I said. He gave It to me
and I rushed out, As the big doors
swung 'behind me I caught the echo of
a roar of laughter that went up to the
ceiling of the bank.'. Since then Ijbank
no mora. I keep my money hi cash in
my Itrousers pocket and toy savings
In silver dollars in sock.

Bought the Base Ball Franchise from
l'rcsldcat Betts Yesterday.
HE WILL HAVE ASSOCIATES
Thomas II. Brooks and . Edward , Wade
Will Jola Mr. Slmpson-They Will
Associate ex-Prealdcnt Belts with
Thorn-Literal Policy Outlined.
The Eastern league franchise, ball
park lease and other property of the
Scranton Base Ball association was
bid in at sheriff's sale yesterday by
W. L. Belts, president of the associa
tion, through his attorney, Robert J.
Murray.. Within an hour' President
Belts sold his interest to Harry P.
Simpson, the young and well-to-do coal
operator, who, during the next few
days. Will associate with him Thomas
H. Brooks, another young coal man,
and Edward Wade, secretary of the
Finch Manufacturing company. Pres
ident Betts will retain a one-quarter
Interest In the reorganisation. ' This
will be done according to previous ar
rangement, he new owners 'Wanting
the benefit of the ex-president's exper
ience and advice, although by ihls own
stipulation he will not enter into the
active or detailed management of the
new venture.
The property was bid In for $2,180.50,
whlchsum willhavetosatlrfy Judgments
amounting 'to about $2,800, and held by
seven of the directors. Obligations that
will have to go unsatisfied are a note
of $900 held by a Scranton bank, a
sum approximating $900, due President
Betts, and separate from h'ls judg
ment, and various other debts which
will total about .$4,700. However, the
only creditors to be benefited by the
sale are 'the seven who held judg
ments amounting to $2,800, and they
will be paid their proiwrtlonate share
of the $2,180.50 realized from the sale.
' McDjrmott for Manager.
Last night a message was sent to
McDermott, this season's manager of
Fall 'River, of the New England league.
Instructing him to come to Scranton
tomorrow and close a contract for next
year. IMr. Simpson will at once pro
cure estimates for a new grandstand,
bleachers, gates and fence, and will
negotiate .with the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western company for wide
ning and lengthening the park, possibly
fifty -feet. In each direction.
Twenty minutes before 4, o'clock, the
hour advertised for the sale, there had
gathered at he park President Hanlnn,
rf the State league; Marty Swift, the
Carbor.dole manager; President Betts,
Treasurer Stvayze and Directors Jor
dan and Coleman, of the Scranton asso
ciation; Alex Dunn, Jr., and Morris
Davldow, of the pawnbroklng firm of
Davldow Brothers, and several re
porters and , spectators. The presence
of Mr. Dunn and Mr. Davldow was not
clearly understood until after the sale
opened, and then they bore an import
ant part In what transpired.
Previous to the sale, Mr. Hanlnn the
State league president, who had reached
the city at 1 o'clock, made a conditional
offer of $2,600. This sum was refused
and Deputy Ferber proceeded to cry
the sale, announcing that the franchise
and lease would first be sold jointly and
Independent of the grand Btand, blcech
ers, two sets of uniforms, tickets,
chairs and other almost useless, things.
Davldow Bid 9100.''.. '
The pawnbroker quite appropriately
started the ball a-rolltng by bidding
$700, and Attorney Murray proceeded
to go him 50 cents better. Mr. Davldow
Increased his bids at $100 a clip until
$1,700 was reached. Then a recess was
taken while Mr. Davldow and Mr. Dunn
whispered In one another's i ear, and
President Hetts, Attorney Murray,
Treasurer Swayze, tMreetpr Jordan and
Director Coleman got In their corner
and carried on another whispering
bee. Then the attorney and the pawn
broker came together and the one told
the other that $5,000 was about the sum
required to fatten the base ball coffer.
Mr. Davldow said something about
seeing himself in a warm climate and
the game was resumed.' '
From $1,700 the bidding match be
tween the two went on to $2,175, when
Mr. Davldow suggested a call of time,
and another conference was held. The
prospective buyers here learned that
the attorney would continue to bid to a
very high figure In order to have the
property knocked down at a- proper
sum and they forthwith decided to
withdraw. Attorney Murray raising the
pawnbroker's bid from $2,175 to $2,175.
50, at which figure the sale was made.
The rest of the property went to the
attorney for a bid of $5, making $2,180.50
In all.
(Mr. Murray Immediately announced
that he 'had ma elf the purchase as
'"attorney," but whose attorney was
not mentioned.. And the crowd but
toned its coats, drew a long 'breath of
relief, smiled and left the grounds in
the belief that the association 'had bid
In its own property. On this point
there was cither a prearranged un
derstanding or 'misunderstanding, as
Lawyer Murray really bid as attor
ney for President BoMs, and not for the
association, which fact transpired dur
ing the next hour.
Went to tho Sheriffs Office.
Soon after 5 o'clock Mr. Simpson, ac
companied by President Belts, emerged
from the former's office and proceeded
to the court house, where, in the sher
iff's ofllce, the ' tale was recorded to
President Betts, and the other finamclnl
settlements made which made Mr.
Simpson the owner. Within the next
few days Mr. 6lmnmn and the men he
will associate with him will decide upon
a definite course of proceedure. At
all events, MwDermott will 'become
manager after his arrival hare- tomor
row, and will at onoe bs sent on a
f.klrmlsh for a doxen and a half or
more, players from among whom next
seaeon's team will be selected, during
practice play in the spring, as It Is
not probable that the Scranton play
ers on tho reserve list will be retained,
Pat Meant-y excepted, . and possibly
Pete Eagan.
Mr. Simpson was unwilling last night
