FIREMAN'S QUEER NOTION
Aliened to Ilnvc i''lrcd n IJnrn in Or
der to illnko n Jtccotd by 1'uttiiig
the l'iro Out.
Wllkes-I?arre, Aug-. B. Edward Mor
tin, a young mnn 23 years old and resid
ing on South Foil street, was arrested
last night, charged with being tho fire
bug who set lire to the Flnklesteln
barn yestorday afternoon. The case,
Gays the Times, Is more sensatlontl
when It Is known that Moran Is a
member of No. 2 Engine and Hose com
pany and has been a hard working
member of the flro department.
He comes of a good family nnd the
only reason that can be assigned for
his strange action Is that his mind Is
unbalanced on fire department matters,
Jis the prosecution Showed that he was
trying to be appointed on the new
chemical engine and that he started
the fires In order to rescue horses and
make a name for himself by Ills
bravery, thereby securing his wlshed
for position with the chemical engine.
COL. HARRY LAYCOCK DEAD.
Found Unconscious Lying in a Ham
mock, nnd Soon I'.xplrcs.
Wllkes-Barre.Aug. 5. Henry A. Lay
cock, proprietor of the Laycock House
at Wyoming, and one of the widest
known men In the valley, died at his
hotel at 1 o'clock this morning, death
being attributed by tho physicians to
apoplexy.
Yesterday afternoon it 2:30 Col. Lay
cock laid down In a hnmmocl -- his
porch to read. At 4:30 a member of
the family went to the porch nnd saw
him lying there, apparently asleep. His
glasses were on his nose and In his
hand he held the book he had been
reading. The person who found him
In this position tried to rouse him, but
the effort was a fruitless one, and an
alarm was given. A few minutes later
It. K. Laycock, John Perkins, James
Space and Henry Tllgner carried the
unconscious man to his apartments In
the hotel. The physicians summoned
united In the opinion that the colonel
had been prostrated by an attack of
npoplexy. They did everything In their
power to restore the patient to con
sciousness but their efforts were un
availing. He was aged 63 years, and Is survived
by his wife, one daughter, Miss Ger
trude, one son, Harry A. Deceased
was a cousin of Hon. W. F. Cody, com
monly known as "Buffalo Bill." Colonel
Laycock was one of the most genial
of men, one who enjoyed tho confidence
nnd respect of a wide circle of friends.
During the war he was a brave soldier,
and his bravery was rewarded by fre
quent promotion. Had the conflict
lasted a few weeks loncer Colonel
Laycock would have been mustered
out with tho title of general, for the
papers necessary to his promotion were
being prepared when Lee surrendered,
which signalized the end of tho v;Ar.
Colonel Laycock was a member of the
Loyal Legion of the United States, the
Grand Army of the Republic and Dleu
le Veut Commandery Knights Temp
lar. ATTEMPTED JAIL BREAKING.
Warden Ilolnud Discovered Another
Plan Wednesday Night.
Wllkes-Barre, Aug. B. Says tho
Times: Warden James Boland and his
vigilant watchman discovered another
attempt at Jail breaking last night,
which will causu almost as much of a.
tensatlon as tho "Terrible Pete" Jail
conspiracy. Tho mm who attempted
to e&cape show by their method thut
they are slick and daring criminals and
but for the eacle eyes of the watch
man would have succeeded In cutting
a hole through the roof of the Jail and
effecting their escape. Tho boldness
and daring of the attempt and the al
most successful Issue has caused a feel
ing of anxletv to the warden and his
deputies.
Tho men, Charles Womelsdorg, a
horse thief, end James Pollock, a slick
burglar, who wero confined together In
doublo cell No. 2, tipper tier, left wing
of tho county jail, cut thiough tho rhro3
Inch stono slab on the roof of tr ilr cell
and had almost MifTlclent cut to .omoye
a piece of stono (1x13 Inches when their
work was detected. The men must have
worked on the stone for some tlmo and
would have effsted their escapo In a
few days. They very cleverly covered
up their work nnd tho attempted rs
capo was discovered only by accident.
The men used for tools, the iron cup
ports wjilcli they removed from the
wash basin in their cell, and a spoon.
They charpened these on tho Hour of
their cell and used them In cutting tho
llagstona on tho roof. They would
stick the Iron supports back under the
waah basin each morning, plastering
them with soau to prevent detection.
Tho celling of their cell where they
wero cutting the stone slab was also
carefully covered with a while cloth
and held In place with soap. A hole
In the side of the cell was uacd as a
place of leverage for their crude tools
nnd this was also deftly concealed.
The men succeeded In cutting through
tho stono slab 12 Indies on ono side, 8

SCARED BY TUB LIQtlTNINQ.
illnmlo Johns, of I'lttston, Stricken
While In h Trolley Cnr.
Wllkcs-Darre, Aug. 6. About 10
o'clock laEt night, when the storm was
at Us height and while a West Pitts
ton car was going toward West Pitts
ton, thero was a blinding Hash of
lightning, followed by a deafening peal
of thunder ns the car was passing
Mnltby. Tho lights In the car sudden
ly wont out, leaving the passengers In
utter darkness. There was consider
able excitement and one girl named
Mamie Johns, of I'lttston, who wafl
either struck by the lightning or ter
ribly frightened, took a lit of convul
sions. It took flvo or six men to hold
tho girl, who was carried to Kyte's
store. There, she was placed In Fltz
patrlck's nmbulance and conveyed to
tho I'lttston hospltnl.
Inquiry at the Plttston hospital to
day by tho Times elicits tho Informa
tion that Miss Johns' condition is not
alarming. The physlclnns say that the
young woman's being stricken was duo
entirely to her nervous condition.
FRANK SHERIDAN'S AFFLICTION.
Sinks Into TJncotiscloinncs'? nnd on
Hccoverv Is Totally lilind.
Wllkes-Barre, Aug. C Frank Sheri
dan, ii driver boss, employed by the
Delaware and Hudson Canal company,
who lives nt Sheridan's switch, Ply
mouth township, lias suddenly been
stricken blind. For about two weeks
he has been unable to see nnd hopes
of his regaining his sight are despaired.
Tho flr3t warnings of his aflllctlon
were on Monday, July 19, when, after
working In the mines during the morn
ing, he returned home at noon in a
stupefied condition nnd soon after sank
into total unconsciousness. Medical
aid was summoned, but ho remained
In a comatose state for thirty-six hours,
and when he regained his senses was
unable to tell daylight from dark.
Although his general health Is now
good he Is unable to discern even a
faint ray of light. The physician pro
nounces his aflllctlon due to degenera
tion of the optic nerve, and It is
thought thero is little if any hope of
his ever being able to see again.
CREAMERIES TO CLOSE.
Lurk oT the Lacteal I'luid Assigned
ns the Cause.
Vllkes-Barre, August B. Owing to a
lack of milk the creamery at Stauf
fer's on the AV.-B. & E. railroad has
closed, and for the same reason the
one at Bartonsvllle will have to close
Its doors. In order to carry the milk
an other products to the New York
markets the W. & E. and tho N. Y., S.
& "W. put on a dally milk train, Sun
days Included, to run between Jersey
City and Stauffors. At first the milk
supply was good, not In abundance,
but in sufficient quantities to warrant
the running of the train. After a
month or so the quantity began to
grow smaller.
This has resulted In the milk train
only receiving supplies from Bartons
vllle, although it runs to Stauffers for
passengers, and even this may be stop
ped in a few days as the same trouble
exists In the lower creamery.
LARGE CONTRACTS LET.

000. Crawford & Dugan, coal stripping
contractors, have been awarded the
construction to excavate 200,000 cubic
yards of earth overlying a coal vlen
near St. Clair, in the mine of Vf. II.
