MRS. HAYDEN ASHLEY INJURED.
Accident to Her llicvrle Throws Her
Over an F.nbnnkment.
Mrs. Hayden Ashley, of South Main
avenue, was thrown over n retaining
wall near Plttston nt 5.20 o'clock Sat
urday evening while rldint? a bicycle
on the main road which Is adjacent and
runs parallel to the Delaware. Lacka
wanna and Western tracks near the
Junction station. She was seriously In
jured. Mrs. Ashley nnd her husband, who
also was a-wheel, were bound for
Peranum. The point where the acci
dent occurred Is well known to bi
cyclists who have traveled the road.
It is about 300 yards this side of the
Twin shaft breaker, nnd the wall wns
built to hold up the earth from the
Delaware, Lackawanna nnd Western
tracks. On the side of the hluhway
nearest the railroad is a hard earthen
walk, the delight of cyclists.
As Mr. and Mrs. Ashley rode along;
the right pedal of Mrs. Ashley's wheel.
In Its downward stroke, fell upon the
stump of a telegraph pole which pro
truded about four Inches above the
ground. When the pedal struck the
ftump the wheel was lifted nnd Mrs
Ashley wns hurled over the embank
ment, a fall of about eight feet She
fell upon the railroad tracks. Mr Ash
ley rendered all possible immediate as
sistance to his wlf", nnd after she had
partially recovered from tho full she
was brought to her home at 8 o'clock
Saturday evening. Dr. Heermans, who
wns called, found that at least one rib
Is broken nnd another fractured, with
the probability that, upon a more com
plete examination, other fractures win
be found. Last evening Mrs. Ashley
was resting easily at her home. She
has ridden a wheel for a couple of years
and was a very expert rider.

BALTIMORE HERE TODAY.
The Champions of the World and
"Hughey" Jennings Coming.
Today's baae" ball game between the
champion Baltlmures of the National
leiafiue, and the picked team of Scran
ton professionals will be called at 3
o'clock. The gates will be open at 1.30
o'clock.
If fair weather prevails It Is quite
likvly that Athletio park will contain
one of the largest crowds df the year.
This seems probable 'for two reasons:
There are hundreds of persons who
will wont to watch the work uf the
team, which Is admitted to be the
fastest nnd strongest that ever exist
ed, and there are almost as many who
will attend for the special purpose of
watching "Hughey" Jennings, whoso
home is at Avoca, who leads the
league In hitting and In shortstop
work, and whoso activity on the bases
Is something nearly miraculous. There
are others on the Oriole team whose
work, also Is near perfection.
In mnktng up the Scranton team
there has been no lack of material.
First base will be covered by Sharer,
of Shenandoah, this year's manager
and first basemon of the Houston club,
of the Texas league. Frank Ward at
second; "Jimmy" Dean, shortstop, nnd
Cnughlln, third base, will compose the
remainder of what l.mks. on paper to
be a fast and strong Inlleld.- The out

FR0TH1NGHAM THEATER SOLD.
Pnrclinsi d by Attorney C. H. Wellea
for the Judgment Creditors.
The Frothlngham theatre property,
arcade and Penn avenue plot were sold
nt sheriff's sale on Saturday. The pur
chase was made for $4H,5o2 by Attorney
C. H. Welles, trustee for the Judgment
creditors of Laura anil Arthur Froth
ln;:ham. The theater brought $S7,000, the Penn
avenue plot $5,HU0, and the arcade lease
$,-i2.
What the creditors propose doing with
the properties cannot be ascertained In
other than a general way. To a Trib
une reporter Attorney Welles declined
to discuss the matter In any light what
soever. He said it was a private busi
ness matter; he did not know what were
the creditors plans, nor would he say
who the creditors were.
From another source enough was told
the reporter to Indicate thnt the nrende
Interest nnd I'enn avenue plot will pos
sibly be for sale, but that the theater
will be retained by all or a portion of
the creditors.
Wagner and Hels will no doubt con
tinue us lessees. The present Intention
of the creditors Is to at once supply the
really splendid place of amusement with
a number of necessary details that are
lucking In Its stage equipment, to com
plete the unfinished portion of the struc
ture and to add to Its furnishings.

DRUGGIST PHELPS
GREW DESPERATE
Took a Novel Method of Breaking Up
Corner Loafing.
CONSEQUENCES NOT CONSIDERED
Mail lioxes Located on the Corner in
Front oi His Store Daubed Over
with White PointThere Was a
Great Deal of Talk Abont the Affair
and Most of It Was Not of an Ap
proving Nature.
Druggist John H. Phelps was a very
much discussed personage about the
central city last evening. The reason
of this was that Mr. Phelps had done
something thnt was open for discus
sion. On the corner In fron of Mr. Phelps'
drug store Umie Sam maintains two
mall boxes, one for letters, which Is at
tached to a telegraph pole, and the
other for papers and packages, resting
alongside the pole on the curb. The po
sition of the boxes Is such that a per
son can lean against the larger one,
throw his arm across the other and
maintain an eiwt position with only a
slight effort. It rs a most inviting pkace
for a lonf and it is pretty generously
patronized.
Mr. Phelps didn't take kindly to this
sort of thing and determined to break
It up. Without stopping to consult
Uncle Sam's feelings In the matter, or
to think of the consequences to him
self If the government should get on Its
eur about it, or to consider that thou
sands of people dressed In their Sunday
best would pass that wny during tho
evening, Mr. Phelps with a paint brush
and some white, sticky mixture, daubed
the top and portions of the sides of both
boxes, liberally. If not artistically.
THEY WANTED TO KNOW.
Everybody who came nlong of course
noticed the changed hue of the once
bright red letter boxes, and, of course,
everybody wanted to know how It all
happened. When the facts In the case
were duly elicited, discussion ensued
and Judgment was passed. The gener
al verdict was that Mr. Phelps had
concluded to do the thing without first
counting twenty. Some took occasion
to tell him so. Attorney W. H. Gear
hurt told him ho In a very emphatic
way. Mr. Phelps, however. Was satis
lied he had done nothing wrong, nnd
was not ut nil exercised about the un
favorable comments. In explaining his
action to a Tribune reporter, he said:
"I did It to keep the mashers from
loafing on that cornea'. Every evening,
but particularly Saturday and Sunday
evenings there Is a crowd hanging on
that corner, staring at and Insulting
ladies who pass. Last night there was
a crowd of six or eight full-grown
men. presumably guests from the
hotel, hanging about the corner all
evening pusslng remarks upon the
ladles passing by. A woman who goes
to drot a letter In: the box Is almost
sure to be Insulted with some such re
mark ns 'making a date, eh?" or 'She
must hnve a sweetheart," or tlw like.
Lady patrons of my sodtt water foun
tain are nlso subjected, to the stares
nnd remarks of thee loafers and It is
Injuring my business." .
TO WASH IT AWAY.
Mr. Phelps also explained that the
daubing was done with whiting and
would not permanently soil clothing.
He said he intended to wash the stuff
off the boxes when he was ready to
close his store.
Patrolmen Feeney and Neuls. whewe
beats yesterday met at this coiner,
were In a quandry as to what should
be done about the matter. it was
dearly a violation of 'the city ordin
ance against exposing fresh paint in
a mibllo place, without any warning
sign, but owing to Mr. 1 "helps' prom
inence they hesitated about taking
summary action, and referred It to
police headquarters. Nothing was
done about the matter at headquarters,
except that Sir. I'helits was censured
for not reporting that he objected to
the loallnc and hnve the police In
structed to put a stop to it.
VERDICT FOR THE HILLS.
Jury Kefuscs to Allow Mr. Rebecca
i'lynn Any Damages.
After being out a few hours Saturday
the jury In the ense of Mrs. Hebecca
Flynn against Dr. O. E. Hill nnd son
returned n verdict In favor of the Hills.
Mrs. Flynn sued to recover $10,000 nnd
the result of the case was watched
with the greatest Interest by doctors
nnd dentists, ltefore the case went to
trinl Dr. Hill said thnt he was asked to
settle on the basis of $200 damages but
refused to do so. He snld he. was
anxious to have the case tried believ
ing the result of It would hnve a good
effect.
Mrs. Flynn In her testimony snld
that one of Dr. Hill's assistants In try
ing to make n plnster Impression of her
mouth left the plaster of parts In her
mouth for five hours until It hardened
to such nn extent thnt It wns only re
moved with great difficulty. Dentjsts
Fordhnm. Wheaton, McGraw and Tay
lor testified that It was impossible to
do nny dnmnge with n plnster Impres
sion and that if It remained In Mrs.
Flynn's mouth for the length of time
she said It did the saliva would have
dissolved it. Mrs. Flynn nl?r testified
that while the plaster cast wns In her
mouth n gold filling that cost her $10
was removed from her tooth. The
dentists swore that It was impossible
to remove such a filling from a tooth
with a plaster cast in the mouth.
A Sunday paper stated yesterday
that Dr. Hill Is practicing without a
diploma which Is not true. He has
passed nu examination In three stntes,
hns taken three courses In medical col
leges, two In Albnny and one In Phila
delphia nnd has n diploma for practic
ing medicine.
He was a dentist years before tho
law requiring dentists to register be
came a law.
BOY STOLE HALF A HUNDRED.
Mas Squandering on Frankfurters
When Placed Under Arrest.
Boys sneaked behind the bur at the
Elk during the temporay absence of the
bartender Friday afternoon and stole
o" from the cash register.
A 12-year-old lad named David Mc
Manus, adopted son of David Me A loon,
of tho West Side, was arrested on sus
picion Saturday night, whfle spending
money In a reckless manner, at the
frankfurter wagon, corner of Lacka
wanna nnd Franklin avenues. He had
f:4 in his pockets when searched and
seeing ilenlul was useless admitted his
guilt. He was locked up pending a
decision as lv what Is best to do with
him.

Mr. Davldow. The New Yorker was
obliged to furnish $1,000 ball In this
instance also.
The letter written by Auerbach to
Mrs. Davldow Is dated "New York.
Aug. 16, 1896. " and it makes serious
insinuations against Mr. Davldow. The
charges in it, the plaintiff claims, have
been widely circulated and have dam
aged him to the extent of $25,000.
MAY GET A FREE PAVEMENT.
Duna Bros. Will Take Chances on
Collecting Their Money.
Despite the fact that City Engineer
Phillips has given orders to the con
trary Dunn Dros. will proreed tomor
row to lay the top coat cf asphalt on
Monroe avenue, and trust to the courts
to get their pay.
The city engineer refuses to give his
approval to the material the Dunn's are
using, claiming thnt It Is not of the
quality called for In the specifications.
The Dunns say their asphalt meets the
requirements. The trouble will come
when the contractors ask for their pay.
The city engineer will not approve their
bill and consequently the courts will
have to be appeuled to. If the Dunns
do not succeed in getting court to In
terfere In their behalf Monroe avenue
property holders may get a free pave
ment. TO PROTEST AGAINST PAVING.

to protest against the pavement n.nd to
adopt means of preventing the carry
ing out of the work, will tnke place in
the council rooms nt 8 o'clock tonight.
Some of the objectors Joined the
movement because they prefer brick to
asphalt, others because they prefer no
pnvement at all, nnd some because the
signatures to the paving petition were
secured by the Harbor Asphalt com
pany. The objectors claim that a
large majority of the property holders
are now arrayed against the pavement.

tribution of books and the like. A meet
ing of the faculty was held Saturday

the direction of T. 1 J. Jenninm. the
chairman, will soon be engaged la the
task or hunting for vote tor the party
candidate. Mr. Jennlng was loath to
accept the chairmanship and It re
quired some) persuasion on the part of
tne candidates to induce aim to ac
cept the office. He knows what Lacka
wanna does In presidential years and
ne also knows that Republican senti
ment in this county is stroruper today
than it has been in years. Realising
that the hardest kind of an up hill
fight was before hln Mr. Jennings hes
itated to lead the -forlorn hope. Now
that he Is enlisted m the fight with the
assistance of Secretary Reedy, he will
endeavor to form as strong an organ
isation as is possible under the clrcum
Btanoea. There was plenty of disappointment
for the candidates while they wvre en
gaged in making up the county com
mittee and the fact that they have
not yet announced , the names of those
who will compose It Is due to their fear
that declinations will follow. Many
who were asked to be committeemen
refused to serve and the task of mak
ing up ha committee has in conse
quence been very slow. It Is not such
a committee as the candidates desired
for the names of many Influential men
who in past campaigns fought desper
ately and effectively for party success
are missing from It because they want
ed to be among the missing.
