The Cambro-Amorlcans of the Uni ted States will be pleased to learn, eas the Wllkes-Barre News-Dealer, that Rev. Hugh Price, V. D., of Lon don, who Is one of the most Influential preachers In Great Britain, has been elected president of the English ves leyan conference CvWhodlst Episco pal). HeIsited the United States a few years ago and attended the council of Methodists of the world at Washlnc ton, D. C, and delivered sermons and addresses. He also pleached In sev eral of the leading Methodist pulpits of the country. Ills work anions,' the slums In London has been phenomenal, as also his Influence In the realm of English society to secure aid In the work of bettering- the condition of the outcast and the poor of the great Eng lish metropolis. His elevation to the presidency of the English Methodist conference will give liim a wider sphere in his work of evangelizing the poor of the large cities. He Is a son of the late Dr. Hughes, of Carmarthen, Wales. His uncle, Rev. John Hughes, was on two occasions president of the Wesleyan conference of Wales. He preached his first Fermon. when a stu dent at Tlilstleboon House academy, when 19 j ears old. and took his final degrees at Oxford university. The Wllkes-Barre Times draws at tention to the fact that Dr. Hughes' grandmother was the daughter of a Jewish banker ct Haverfordwest, and she had two sisters. One of them mar ried David Charles, of Carmarthn, and thus became the grandmother of the late David Charles Davies, the principal of Trevecca. and moderator of the Welsh Calvinistlc Methodists. The other married a Plunket, end lie came the grandmother of the late Lord Plunket, the Primate of the Irish Prot estant church. A curious history tho heads of three great religious? bodies to be descended from these Jewish sis ters! A Scranton man. Professor Tranlt It.

Discussed Their Giievances Against the Jersey Central. At a big meeting of railroad em ployes at Ashley, differences between tho Central Railroad of New Jeisey and its employes woie discussed. The men ate quiet ns to what else tran spired but there was talk, says' tho Wllkes-Barre Record, of a plan to sup port for the lglslature men who will favor the lnboiing classes. C. II, Wilson, past grand master of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Flie men and chairman of the general grievance committee, expressed him self ns confident that the differences between the Central Railroad company and the ralho.id men will boon be ad justed In a manner satisfactory to all concerned. He said: "Of com so wo do not wish to dictate to the company Just how many cars It Bhall put on n train, but we do cay If tho company wants big trains hauled it should put enough men on to protect the employes. Trains have been leaving Penobscot for tidewater with 2J0 cars with an ag gregate weight of 2,100 tons. With a treln of this Hind the employe must assume too much responsibility, and besides It makes his occupation more hazardous. 1 understand the company has In the past few days t educed tho weight of these trains to 2,000 tons, but this Is still too much for the crew. Thero should be p. brakeman for every twenty-five cats." EXPLOSION OP QAS. Soriously Burned Stephen Sabo in the Green Ridge Mine.

RUNAWAY CAR ON MULBERRY HILL FIVE PASSENGERS INJURED BUT NONE DANGEROUSLY. Motorman Could Not Control the Car nnd a Spill Occurred at the Curvo on tho Corner of Jefferson Avenue. Tho Injured Included Three Men, Ono Woman and a Child Company Officials Refuse to (live Any De tails of the Accident. Probably one of the most exciting accidents which has taken place since the Introduction of tho trolley system In this city was that of last evening at the corner of Mulberry street nnd Jef ferson avenue, caused by a runaway car. A great variety of opinions are offered by those who were on the scene, some declaring that the rails were so slippery as to render tho brakes use less, while others state that the motor man was tattled and lost control of the car. About 6 30 o'clock a runaway car came Into the sw Itch between Madison and Jefferson nenues and turned the Jefferson nvenuo corner safely and while one or two men Jumped off, no one was Injured. Fifteen minutes later the residents in the vicinity were startled bv an unusual racket and be held another car running wild, al though some assert that It did not ap pear to be going nt such a high rate of sneed that It could not have been controlled. As the second car struck the curve leading to Jeffeison avenue the passen gers were violently shaken and several men who had stepped to "the foot rail weie tin own to' the pavement In a moment, amid a pandemonium of screams and sobs, tho men weie seen scattered about near the curve on ths corner and n few rods down Jefferson avenue two women and one or two children were seen lying in u pool of blood near tho rail. The car was stopped near Linden stieet. Some of the sufferets were picked up and taken to the lesldence of A. J. Cnsev, wheie kind hands attended to their needs. Tho Lackawanna hospital ambulance soon arilvcd, but the Injured ones re fused to be taken to the hospital. A carriage was called from Flynn Bros, and Mrs Catheilne E. Smith and her niece, Hattle RInker. of Wllkes-Barre, were removed to 1316 Luzerne street. Among the others Injured weie P. J Honan, the tailor; Hairy White, letter carrier, and James Feeney, policeman. None of them was dangerously in juied, though their hurts were numer ous and painful. Later In tho evening P. W Gallagher and a number of officials of the Scian ton Railway company visited the scene and held a protracted conference over the affair. Tho officials refused to give any Information whatsoever. As much was gained on lnquhy at the dispatch ers oilice and among tho emploes. Everyone appioacbed said he knsw nothing about the accident lioyond the bare fart tint It had occurred. Mis. Smith, her nelco nnd another woman and two children, all of the same paity, jumped after tho car rounded the corner. Mis. Smith and her neice weie removed to the Smith rcidenci at 5316 Luzerne street, whete their Injuries wetc cared for by Dr. Hecmans. Mrs. Smith Is badly bruis ed and bhaken up. Tho right side of her fate Is cut and the skin scraped off. No bones weie broken and theic are apparently no interna; injuries. She Is about 54 years of age and Is suf fering from the shock. The piece Is only 6 years old. Her right thigh Is badly bruised and other minor bruises exist. It Is impossible to tell whether there aro internal In juiles as the thild Is voiy nervous from the fchock. With Mrs. Smith Averc Raymond RInker, a hi other of Hattle, and anoth er niece. Miss Gertrude Jones, of Tay lor. They wore not Injured, though somewhat bruised. Their escape from being thiovvn out on the curve was duo In a largo measure to Miss Jones' pies ence of mind. Seeing that they weio approaching the curve, the braced hor belf and clung to Raymond who sat on tho outside. As It was, they weie both tin own onto the stp and Jumped later. Letter Cairlor White's Injury con sisted of a bruised head He was not one of those who jumped or were thrown but received his Injury by bumping against one of the car posts. Patrolman reeney's shoulder was bad ly wrenched. Tailor Honan's Injuries, the street car men are credited with saying, were sustained In Jumping. He left Imme dlatelj for his home and the nature of his huits could not be learned. All of those who were Injured and some who were not had their clothing badly torn. Sevetal whose names were not learned received sundry scratches and bruites. Conductor Rozelle and Motorman At-ers wete In charge of tho car. Con trol of It was lost before it reached Madison avenue, a block away from tip curvo. A light rain had fallen and gives credence to tho statement of a Jefferson avenue resident who said Motorman Akeis ascribe J tho accident to tho failure of tho sand apparatus to work. QUARTER OF A MILLION. Contractor Carlucci Gets a Big Gov ernment Contract. T'rank Carlucci, of Sctanton street, the well-known stone-cutter and ron ti actor, leaves today for Washington, D. C, where he will sign a contract with the government for supplying cut stone which will be used in the erec tion of the Ellis Island Landing sta tion In New York harbor.

PIRE DEPARTMENT APPARATUS Ladder Truck Is Tested and Con- demncd for Repaiis. Under tho personal supervision of Chief Hlckoy, a thorough examination of the Hook and Ladder Truck. No. 1, was made, and tho Crystal Bteamer, No. 4, was given a severe test yestcr- day. As a result tho truck goes out of service today for numerous repairs and the steamer was found to be In A No. 1 condition. The examination nnd test was marto lato In the afternoon on Eighth street near West Linden street. The nerlal ladders. 63 feet In length, wero run up loco to tho Finch Foundry building Tho hose, 250 feet of It being used, was run up on tho ladder. Tho Crystal steamer used a twin connection from the plug and a twin connection was used In tho hose. So much did tho ladders ag with their own weight, that of tho three lengths of hose on it, and about ISO pounds pressure of water when the stream was turned on, that tho chief would not allow a man up the ladder. The truck paits aro dry, rusted and flawed. The steamer withstood a tet of 90 pounds steam with 143 pounds water pressure. A stream of over 300 feet was thrown through an lU-lnch nozzle. The steamer was run for tonio time and owing to the care taken of her did not even heat any. paits Tho perma nent men of both companies and other firemen nsslsted In the tests. SHOT TO KILL. White Woman Wounded by Jealous Colored Admirer. Her Mabel Thomas, a white woman, of the 400 block Raymond court, was shot through tho right arm at 11.30 o'clock last night by Charley Hell, IS years old, a rolotod waiter In the American hotel across fiom the Jersey Central station, The wound Is not a dangerous one Tho shooting was done In a back loom of the hotel, and Roll ran out the back door .scaled tho fence, and made his escape- The Thomas woman wont to the Loekawanna hospital nnd had the wound dressed. The bullet struck the outside of the foreurm a few Inches below the elbow, and passed out on the other side. When she saw Bell draw the weapon her right arm was raised to protect her face. Ho fired point blank nt her breast, but ns he was standing beside her the bullet crashed through her aim parallel with her body and after penetrating the arm struck against the wall. Had ho been facing her the piobablllty Is that It would go through her arm and then penetrate her breast. Boll was Infatuated with her. She was drinking In the back room nil evening with companions of both sexes and Bell became very much wrought up over her attention to ono of the men. He can led In drinks to them. Toward 11 o'clock she prepared to go home, and he noticed that this fellow was shaping himself to escort her. That angered Bell and he got the re volver fiom his room. As she was nbout to leave the room wheie tho di inking was going on he appeared at the door, and brought up the subject of her freedom toward his rival. They had angry words In which she said he was "not the only pebble," nnd with that he whipped the tevolver out and aimed at her. She attempted to brush past him, but he fired as bhe got abreast of him. She lot a fearful scream and dropped to the floor. Sure that he had killed her ho made a bolt for the rear door. Patrolman John D. Thomas was not far away, and upon being npprlsed of tho case, seaiehed the premises, front and rear, but found no trace of tho fugitive. Lieutenant Davis went over nnd en gaged in the search, and after return ing to headquarters sent out the news to the various precincts, with a de scription of Bell. ROOF OF MOUTH LOOSE. Pricebuig Miner Is Injured in a Very Peculiar Manner. A peculiar and perhaps fatal acci dent happened to J. Owen Holllngs, a miner In Johnson's shaft, Prlcehurg, yesteiday afternoon: He was found unconscious at the bottom of the shaft, and those who found him cannot ac count for how he got there In the con dition he was nor can he himself. Tho loot of his mouth is detached fiom the Jaw bono on both sides, his teeth are all knocked out, and the gums are torn out. He was brought to the Lackawanna hospital, and the doc tors had a serious task In stopping the blood. He had to be put bolt upright in a chair Instead of to bed, to avoid the danger of being smothered from the flow of blood Into his throat if it should statt pumping again from tho severed nrteiles. Holllngs was perfectly tonsclous at tho hospital and bore the pain Incident to his treatment with great fortitude, not groaning once. He Is between 50 and 60 years old, and not of a strong constitution. It Is more than likely that the Injury will prove fatal. How the accident occutred can be explained only one way, which Is that he fell down the shaft foity or fifty feet, by toppling off the carriage us he was being hoisted to the surface. If that be the way, it is surprising that there are no fractures on his hands or legs, nor any contusions on his body. Home for Friendless Donations. The Homo for the Friendless ac knowledges with much gratitude a great quantity of provisions from the Dodge Accidental Fund and also from the Clay Pipe club.
