WAS A NARROW ESCAPE.
Train and Trolley Car Almost Col
lidc on I.nrkntvannn Avenue.
The dangers of the West Lackawanna
avenue railroad crossing; were forcibly
shown Saturday evening by the narrow
escape of a number of passengers on a
Luzerne street car.
An Eynon car had crossed the tracks
and was nt the top of the hill when the
Luzerne ear conductor gave the "go
ahead" signal to his motorman. No
train was In sight at this time.
When the car was fairly upon the first
track the 6.10 western-bound passenger
train rounded the curve and dashed to
ward the car. The motorman quickly
reversed his motor and the gates Just
grazed the front platform as the car
was backed to a safe position. It was
a narrow escape. The passengers in
the car knew nothing of the danger until
the train passed In front a few seconds
after the car had stopped.

Large Squad Called to the
Polish Church on the
South Side.
MANY LIVES IN DANGER
Hundreds of Polanders Gathered
About St. Mary's Polish Catholic
Church to Prevent Father Aust
from Celebrating Mass Women
Aided the Hen.
The troubles aT the Polish Catholic
church on Prospect avenue reached a
climax yesterday when the parlshon
ers and the police came together In a
bloody conflict.
Heads were battered by the dozen,
the "policemen received some pretty
rought usage and It Is surprising that
the battle was terminated without any
loss of life, although the police were
several times almost forced to draw
their revolvers. Eleven prisoners, eight
men and three women, are now under
arrest for rioting and resisting the of
ficers and warrants for many others
will be sworn out today.
The trouble was brought about
through the determination of the antl
Aust faction to prevent the pastor
from conducting the services.
Father Aust's action last week In
causing the arrest of twenty-one of
his opponents for attempting to stop
the organist from ascending to his sta
tion in the choir loft led to the final
stand against the pastor. A meeting
was held Saturday night at Olchefskl's
hall, on Plttston avenue, which, it is
said, was attended by representatives
of 6G0 of the parlshoners, which is a
large majority of the congregation.
BISHOP'S AID SOLICITED.
Various plans for settling the diffi
culty were discussed and finally It was
proposed and agreed to again send a
committee to wait on Bishop O'Hara
and nsk him to grant their demand
that Father Aust be compelled to turn
over the management of the church to
a committee appointed by the congre
gation, they making the claim that
they represented a majority of the
parlshoners. The bishop told them
that the charges against Father Aust
and the resultant "troubles were being
Investigated In the regular way and
until a decision had been arrived at
they must content themselves with
the present condition of things.
The committee told the bishop that
they '.vould not be responsible for the
con sentiences of his refusal to Interfere.
He dismissed them with an Injunction
to he peaceful and patient.
The committee went back and report
ed that the bishop had told them to do
whnt thoy thought was for the best.
They determined that Father Aust
should be prevented from going Into the
church even If force was necessary.
Father Aust learned there was a
movement afoot to take extreme meas
ures of some kind and he requested
Mayor Bailey to provide extra police
protection. Patrolmen Flaherty and
.Sartor were detailed for duty at the
church yesterday and a reserve squad
was kept near at hand for an emer
gency. There was no trouble at the 8 o'clock
mass, but as the time for the late mass,
10.30 o'clock, approached, the dissenters
commenced to gather and mass them
selves in the church yard between the
church and the priest's residence. There
were some exchanges of words, though
not of a disorderly nature, between the
dissenters and the other parishioners,
but aside from this everything was
quiet as usual.
CROWD INCREASES.
The crowd kept growing and at 10.30
o'clock between seven and eight hun
dred persons were massed about the
rear of the church.
Patrolman Flaherty went among
them and Inquired why they did not
go to church or go home, instead of
standing about. They told him. they
were there to prevent Father Aust
from entering the church. This the pa
trolman construed as enough to stamp
the gathering as a riotous assembly
and he told them they would have to
disperse. They answered that they were
on their own premises and did not have
to move awey. t
The two patrolmen tried to force them
away but they paid no heed to them
further than to argue that the police
had no right to Interfere with them, as
long as they were creating no disturb
ance. Flaherty then sent a telephone mes
sage to headquarters for help, and Pa
trolmen Schmltt and Qscheldle, Park
Policeman McManamon and Mounted
Officer Dyer responded. With them was
Chief of Police Robllng. He advised the
people to go home In order to avoid any
trouble. Then he mounted the patrol
wagon and made a speech to them ask
ing them to heed his advice. They still
remained obdurate, and seeing that all
other means were useless he directed
the policemen to drive them away.
When the officers began to approach
with drawn clubs the women rushed to
the front and tried to keep the police
from getting at the men.
WOMEN TAKE A HAND.
The men started pulling the women
away, the officers started pushing the
crowd and the women turned upon the
officers, one of them, cutting Officer
Dyer's head with a brass bound prayer
book. She was placed under arrest and
hustled Into the patrol wagon. Things
went from bad to worse and Anally the
conflict that was Inevitable broke out.
The crowd rushed upon tho officers,
carried them up against the fence,
pinioned them there for a moment and
then with one concerted surge pushed
officers, fence and all Into the street.
Captain Edwards at headquarters had
been sending messenger boys in all di
rections and just about at this Juncture
of the melee there arrived sixteen more
officers: Lleutenaut Zang, Patrolmen
Mar, Day, McMullen, Block, Sloat,
Evans; Rldgeway, Palmer, Hay, Qur
rell, Peters, Perry, Haggerty, Neuls
and Boland.
The Whole squad made a dash for the
crowd and placed the foremost under
arrest. The crowd did not seem to want
to fight but was determined to prevent
the officer from making any arrests.
The prisoners resisted; their" friends,
men and women dike,, caught hold of
them and tugged at them, trying to
pull them away from the officers. Some
caught hold of the officers clubs and
others grappled with them trying to
pull them away from the prisoners.
The officers were clubbing right and
left, women often coming in the way
of the blows. Blood began to flow and
at the sight of It desperation seized
both sides. The tugging and pulling
on the part of the crowd gave way to
a vicious onslaught and for a time It
looked as If there would surely be a
terrible affray with death In Its wake.
But the police after a hard scrimmage
succeeded In getting the upper hand
and at once clearing a circle about
them drove the mob In all directions.
Then nine persons, three of them
women, were lodged Into the patrol
wagon and under a strong guard were
rushed to the central station house. A
squad of twelve officers was left near
the church to prevent any further con
gregating. During the afternoon they
arrested two men who persisted in
loitering about the front or the church
and locked them up In the South Side
station house.
LEADERS ARRESTED.
W. Snlter and Stanislaus Stru
monlcz, two of the leaders of the antt
Aust faction, were among the prison
ers. They were not Injured. Kaslmlr
Bondzius. Anthony Suvlska, Joseph
Urbanowltz and John Pedrtck, the
other four prisoners, had to receive
surgical attention.
Bondzius and Pedrlckhad badly bat
tered heads and the formejad all the
fingers on his left hand broken. He
was hit on the hand with a club to
make him lose his hold on a tree,
which he clung to with bull dog ten
acity even after his skull was laid
bare In several places by the police
men's clubs.
The three women prisoners are Mrs.
Annie Slllkaskl, Mrs. Voluntlna Vent
line and Mrs. Josephine Chonoska. The
last named Is the one who struck Of
ficer Dyer with a prayer book. She
was rescued once from the patrol wa
gon but was again captured and dur
ing one of the times that she fell Inte
the hands of the police she received a
severe clubbing about the sides and
arms.
Attorney Charles E. Olver and J. Ol
rhefskl scoured the release of the women
upon the deposit of $75 as a guarantee
for their appearance at police court this
morning. No attempt was made to se
cure the release of the men.
There were a number, maybe a score,
of men engaged In the riot, who received
more or less serious wounds, but who
managed to get away with the assist
ance of their friends during the pro
gress of the fight.
One of them was reported to be dying
last night, but this could not be veri
fied. None of the officers received any seri
ous Injury, although nearly every one
of them carried away some mark of the
affray. Many 6f their uniforms were
destroyed or badly damaged by being
torn into tatters or covered with blood.
P. S. PAGETNJURED.
Well-Known Contractor's Foot Was
Crushed by a Lackawanna Train.
Amputation Necessary.
Plummer S. Page, well known as a
contractor and a stockholder in many
of the leading business concerns of the
city, fell under passenger train No. 3
at the Lackawanna depot at 1.53 o'clock
Saturday afternoon and the wheels
passed over his left foot, so badly crush
ing the member that It had to be ampu
tated. Mr. Tatfe was boarding the train
when the mishap occurred. His family
has been summering at Slntervllle, N.
J.; he was bound for that place with
the Intention of accompanying them
home. He had decided to take the 1.5:1
train and when he reached the Lacka
wanna avenue side of the station the
long line of cars was just moving out.
Mr. Page rushed through the corridor
and after throwing his valise upon the
front platform of a car, attempted to
spring aboard at the rear end. He
missed his hold and fell to the road bed,
one foot, the left, resting on the track.
A moment afterward the car wheel
crushed It to a pulp.
'With rare presence of mind Mr. Page
lay still. S. B. Sttllwell, who had wit
nessed the accident rushed to his assist
ance and as the last two cars passed by
with the wheels of one side rolling upon
the crushed foot, Mr. Page threw his
arms about the neck of Mr. Stlllwell and
bore the awful moment In silence.
He was removed to the baggage room
where Dr. N. Y. Leete attended him.
The How of blood was stopped during
the wait for the ambulance from the
Lackawanna hospital. When that ar
rived he said he preferred to go to the
Moses Taylor hospital. When the second
ambulance arrived Mr. Pnge was car
ried to the couch and, accompanied by
his friend, Horace E. Hand, he was
taken to the Moses Taylor Institution.
The fortitude displayed by the In
jured man during the long delay was
marvelous. His cheery nature shone
even in this terrible condition.
The crushed member was amputated
Saturday evening at the hospital. Re
port last night from the hospital was
to the effect that Mr. Page wns resting
quietly and that his recovery would
be complete.

LOCAL DEMOCRATS -ARE
ALL AT SEA
Nothlnf Certain Can Be Predicted for
Tomorrow's Convention.
CHRISTY" BOLAND IS KINQ-PIN
And There's the Hub Others of the
Democratic Family Will Not Get in
Line -Blathers of Candidates, bnt
an Absence of Slate, and It Is ro
tate to Guess Anything Abont What
the Masie Hall Gathering Will Do.
The Democratic host lp Scranton
and the county, notwithstanding the
conference In Mayor Bailey's office Fri
day night. Is very much like a father
with a scattered and troublesome fam
ily. "Christy" Boland is still father
of the thing. There is no telling who
will comprise the family when the
county convention Is called to order to
morrow morning In Music Hall.
All efforts to make a slate have been
useless and the only circumstance, ap
parent and assured, Is that Mr. Boland
will try and stand sponsor for some
congressional nominee, be chairman of
the county committee and stand as
ktng-pln of Democracy in this section.
No matter how soundly the congres
sional nominee Is whipped, no matter
what happens to the county ticket, Mr.
Boland Is bound to stand as the pillar
of a routed house and Is willing to take
chances on Mr. Bryan's election, in
which event the Buave city treasurer
would be the patronage distributor,
free-silver plenipotentiary and chief
Bryan factotum for hereabouts.
The Tribune's exclusive announce
ment that A. W. Dickson was favored
by Mr. Boland for the congressional
nomination is authoritative. Mr. Dick
son has not said he would refuse tho
honor. He has said he Is not seeking
a political candidacy, and that Is true.
But, unless matters change very ma
terially during the next twenty-four
hqurs, he will be the choice of the con
vention. OLD CAMPAIGNERS LACKING.
If any number of prominent and old
line Democrats were engineering the
local campaign the convention would
not be called without a slate; or, rath
er, a slate would be made before the
.day of the convention. As It Is, there
are five candidates for county commis
sioner and ns many for county auditor
and any and all of them appear to
have equal chances for success.
The aspirants for county commission
er are W. J. Burke, who Is ex-county
commissioner and ex-deputy revenue
collector, and ex a good many other offi
ces; Select Councilman Michael E.
Clarke, of the Sixth ward; John De-
muth, one of the present Incumbents,
and Henry Koehler.all of Scranton; M.
F. Gllmartln, of Carbondale and James
Butler, of Mooslc. The auditor candi
dates are P. W. Costello; F. W. Wornke,
William Koch, James j. Coleman and
R. E. O'Boyle, all of Scranton; and Jud
son Callender, of South Ablngton, and
E. J. Ward, of Mooslc.

a prominently mentioned ; Democratic

tion. To oppose M. F. Fadden, of Priceburg,
the Democratic nominee in the Fourth
