William Couehlln, formerly of the
Paw tucket base ball club, who joined
the Wilkes-Barre team Monday, spent

base ball writer of the Wilkes-Bane

to Coughlin's work on third In Mon

from Scranton Is certainly n luminary.
a very pert diamond artist. The board
of appraisement on the bleachers held
en infoimal session at the close of tho
melee with Providence. The board as
a unit voted that Bill Coughlin would
never suffer in a mark-down sale or
find himself ensconced on the bargain
counter. The following resolutions 1th
out the customary preamble, was
passed without a dissentins ote, and
ordered spread upon the minutes-
" 'Resolved, That all bonds that shall
be Issued on the Coughlin Manufactur
ing Co., operating nt Third Base, A
Paxk, shall be Issued to and retained
by local membets of this board, who
are expressly prohibited from dispos
ing of them at less than $50 above par.
And, it is further ordered that no mem
ber thall dispose of any of his hold
ings to Scranton members of the or
ganization.' "Even the Scranton members ex
pressed satisfaction with this manda
tory action of the board and refrained
from offering their resignations. After
ordering that a bronze medal be struck
Off to commemorate Coughlin's achieve
ments during this engagement, the
board adjourned."
Few balloon ascensions are given
under such striking circumstances ns

the residence of Victor Koch, on Madi
son avenue. Tho balloon, a large pajier
one, was being Inflated on the spucloua
lawn of the residence when a patslng
car stopped to take aboard a passen
ger. Though there weio no accom
panying flrcwoiks or parachute, tho
passengers on that car made a request
to have the car wait that they might
witness the ascension. The conductor
agreed to favor them and in due time
nway went the balloon in satlsfattoiy
ftyle. It took a course tow aid Lake
Vnola, and the car proceeded. A
young lady passenger, who was ap
parently a stranger here, askud "If all
cars In Snanton were allowed to stop
for balloon ascensions."

THREW HERSELF
INTO THE RIVER
LIZZIE BERNER, WAS TEMPOR
ARILY INSANE.
She- Was Employed in the Sauquoit
Silk Hill and Rushed to tho Lack
awanna River and Threw Heiself
Into the Water Joseph O'Connor
of Qcnet Street Jumped in After
Her and Succeeded In Rescuing
Her Young Woman Has No Rec
ollection of the Rash Attempt.
Miss Lizzie Berner, of Beech street,
South Pcranton, nn operative In tho
Sauquoit silk mill, while temporarily
Insahp, yesterday attempted suicide by
leaping Into the Lackuwanna. river,
near the mill. The girl is subjected to
frequent fainting spells, and the heat
of yesterday brought noveral of these
attacks during the morning.
About noon-tlmc- the last one took
her. She was conveyed to a loom in
the mill that the management has pro
vided for emergencies of such a na
ture. It is a well-equipped lnflrmnty,
and the restoratives it contains were
applied to Lizzie with good results.
After u time she recovered and Mr,
Davis, the manager, ordered his car
riagc to be brought to the mill gato
to take the young woman to her home.
Ono ot the foiclndles volunteered to
accompany Lizzie.
They started to the conveyance, and
at the outer door it occurred to the
foielndy that she had forgotten a par
cel and she requested her charge to
wait for her.
During her absence- Lizzie's mind be
came deranged and she dashed out of
the yard, down tho embankment,
crossed the tracks of the Delaware and
Hudson Canal compnny and oer onto
the railroad bridge of the Jersey Cen
tral road switch that spans the Licka
wanna river. John O'Connor, of Genet
street, a miner, was passing over the
bridge at the time. His nttentlon was
attracted by the wild stare and man
ner of the girl and he started after her
In hot pursuit.
Lizzie saw him coming nnd she
quickened her speed. She, nt the end
of the bridge, lushed to the bank of
the stieam and threw herself in head
long. O'Connor followed, and In a short
time the would-be suicide was on the
Bhore. She was unconscious and al
most strangled by the water.
Her clothes were loosened and meas
ures taken .to expel the water from the
body.
Dr. Manley was sumoned and at
tended her. Later she was taken to
her home. "When she regained her
senses she said she had no recollec
tion of the happenings of the ptevlous
few hours.

CHARGE UNFOUNDED.
Civil Action Clears Attorney W. J.
Tracey of Ono of the Charges of
Embezzlement Against Him.
A strange case was heard yesterday
before arbitrators in court, nnd it
proved that not all of the chaige3
against W. J. Tracey, the attorney In
dicted for embezzlement, ate well
founded. On the list of the first week
of June criminal court were six cases
against him. One of these, it now ap
peals, was an unwarranted one.
The arbitration yesterday was tho
suit of W. J. Tracey against W. H.
Campbell. Attorney George M. A at
sun appeared for the plalntlff.and Sen
ator J. C. Vnuchin represented the
defendant. The aibltrators were At
torneys M. F Conry, Clarence Balen
tlne and L W. Thfiycr, nnd they con
sulted after evidence svas taken and
arguments heard, and found nn award
of $433 03 in faor of the plaintiff.
The Htrange part of the case is that
Campbell had Tracey arrested for em
bezzling this money, and Tracey had
Campbell nnested for perjuty for
swearing that he embezzled it. Upon
a hearing of the factfe In the case
three attorneys find that Tracey not
only old not embezzle any of Camp
bell's money but that he paid him
$433 05 too much.
Campbell is a blacksmith and lives
In Olyphant. He began the erection of
a house and borrowed some money
fiom the building and loan association
represented by Tracey. The latter as
the woik progressed made payments
on it. In settling up accounts Camp
bell alleged that Tiacty was short and
swore out a warrant.
Another strange feature of the case
is that Tracey har paid out more
money by nearly $500 than he should.
The arbitrators were dumbfounded to
think ot such a thing, but the proof
was placed before them. Tho wit
nesses In the cjiso were R. A. Dainty
who represerted judgments held by
Blttenbender & Co. against Campbell;
John T,iin, of Staik & Turn, Insurance
mon, and Al Kays, another insurance
man.

SECOND OF THE
JUBILEE SERVICES
BRILLIANT ADDRESSES HEARD
IN ST. PETER'S CHURCH.
Speakers Woro Rev. Mr. Fischer, of
St. John's Church, Pittston, Rev.
Mr. Llsse, of Christ Church, South
Scranton, Rov. Mr. Von Bosse, of
Harrlsburg Music Was a Feature
of tho Service Programme That
Has Been Arranged for Tonight.
Three Speakers Will Bo Heaid.
Uvcrv scat In St. Peter'a church,
Petersburg, wns occupied last csenlng,
when the scond Jubilee service open
ed. PtofesBor J. Alfred Pennington
played the prelude, which was follow
ed by the choir of St. Peter's, accom
panied by the organist, August Wahl
eis. The pastor, Rev. J. W. Randolph,
conducted the sorvlre which, with the
speeches, w Ki In German.
The music was of an exceptionally
high older. Miss Tlmboiman, accom
panied on the organ by Miss Randolph,
cans "Calvaty" as it Is seldom heard.
The Impassioned effect In the chorus
teemed specially written for her splen
did tones. Her closing number was
"Ashamed of Jesus." Alfred Wooler
sung with exquisite effect, "A Dream
of Paradise," by Gray.
Rev. Mr. Randolph announced that
Dr. Spath, of Philadelphia, was unable
to be present owing to serious Illness,
and that Rev. Mr. Hunton, of Wllkes-
Barre, was also absent, but that Air.
von Bosse, of Harrlsburg, would speak
later in the c nlng.
MR. FISCHER'S REMARKS.
Rev. Mr. Fischer, of St. John's
church, Pittston, made the llrst ad
dress, bringing congratulations to the
congregatlor of St. Peter's. It Is the
custom In some places, he said, to pre
sent pearls on the thirtieth annlver
siry. More than pearls, more tl an dia
monds, better than gold Is the salva
tion of Chi 1st. Jewels will not avail for
sin, nor will they comfort in the hour
of death.
To the young people he spoke ear
nestly as he deprecated the too preva
lent fashion among many of feeling
that they must apologize for being
Lutherans. He besought them to
show their appreciation to tho thirty
years of protection and progress by re
newed zeal for their church and for
Zlon's sake not rest night nor day.
Rev. Mr. Llsse, of Christ chuich, the
South Side, spoke briefly in a congrat
ulatory spliii reviewing the thirty
veart. of Scranton's hlstoiy when there
waa but one Lutheran ihuich, where
now there aie seven. From tho small
beginning how great has been the In
crease. Rev. Mr. von Bosse, of Harrlsburg,
gave a brilliant address also In Ger
man. In the couro of this he spoke
ot the boy soldier wounded In tho Civil
war and near to death In the hospltnl.
Lying there unconsclons, he did not
know when his mother entered the
waid, but us her rentle hand rented
upon his wrist and brow, he moved
nnd muttered "My mother's touch,"
and as she 3poke the tones penetrated
the heavy ears almost sealed by death
.mil he whispeied "My mother's voice."
A PARALLEL CASE.
Fiom the Fatherland the sons of
Germany wander far and wearily
Sometimes on Sunday they cme to
the houe ot God, where again they
hear the mother speech and In their
heart echoes the sound of the voice
that rouses their dulled senses. There
they hear the accents of the Father
calling after His erring children "My
son! my son!" and ever In the future
It will guide them on their way. Love
the church, your mother church, guard
her well and hold fast to her precepts.
The service closed with a choral.
This evening Dr. Herschmann, of St.
Petei's, Brooklyn, will deliver an ad
dress, which will be heard with great
interest.
Rev. Mr. Schlrger, of Carbondale,
will offer a congratulatory speech as
will also Rv. , L. Ramer, of St.
Mark's; Rev. Mr. Lauer, of St. Paul's,
and Rev. Mi. Kowala, of Emanuel's
(Polish) church, all of this city. Miss
Timberman will also sing.
