HAIR-BREADTH ESCAPE.
Mrs. William Lutz Run Down While
Bicycle Riding on Washington
Avenue Sustains Injuries.
Mrs. William Lutz, wife of a tea
ngent who resides on Throop street,
J'tirinoro, had a hairbreadth escape
from at least serious injury und possi
bly from death In a collision with n
team of horses nt the corner of "Wash
ington avenue and Linden street jes
terday afternoon.
Jlr. and Mrs. Lutz wcio on bicycles
nnd riding down tho avenue. At the
Linden street corner a large steam
roller had crossed the street and was
bound north on the cast sido of tho
avenue. To avoid it Mr. and Mrs.
Lutz kept to the west side of tho thor
oughfare. At tho corner a team going
east on Linden street turned into tho
avenue just as Mrs. Lutz reached the
s,pot.
The wagon pole struck her on the
right cheek. Her bicycle went clear of
the horses, but she fell beneath them.
They pranced above and about her ns
she lay on the pavement, but tho
driver soon succeeded in reining them
back nnd to one side. Her husband
nnd pedestrians assisted Mrs. Lutz Into
Williams' candy store.
It was found that tho only Injury
other than a bruised cheek, which
was struck by the pole, was a bruised
right leg. One of the horses had evi
dently tread upon it, but not heavily,
although the skin was contused and
th? knee slightly wrenched.
The driver of tho team paused only
long enough to see that the woman
was not danecrously hurt and then
whipped up his team and disappeared
up Linden street.

The Executive Committee of the An

Thnt Has n Bearing Upon This
Matter.
The Anthracite association which was
organized for tho purpose of lighting
tho discrimination ngnlnst hard coal,

charges on anthracite coal as com
pared with bituminous coal and otlu-r
freights such ns Ice, rails, Iron, ore,
limestone, grnln, etc. Statistics to bo
used in the petition arc now being com
piled. It Is believed that the remedy for tho
existing discrimination against the an
thracite region is to bo found In tho act
known ns tho Intcr-Stnte Commerce
law, which applies to nny traftlc pass
ing out, through or Into tho state. This
law Is as follows:

Indirectly by nny device chnrgo a greater
compensation for any scrvlco rendered In

cumstances nnd condltons, then that rail
road shall bo deemed guilty of unjust ills.

HORSE WAS KILLED.
Max Feibos Owner and Driver Hnd
a Very Narrow Escape His
Injuries Not Serious.
Tho freight train In charge of En
gineer O'Donnell, leaving tho Lacka
wanna avenue depot of tho Central
railroad at I o'clock yesterday after
noon, struck n horse attached to a
wagon driven by Max Fclbos, at the
Broadway crossing at Bellcvue. The
animal was kilted Instnntly, the wagon
demolished nnd Feibos severely in
jured. He was removed to his homo In the
rear of 516 South Washington avenue.
Dr. Halpert was sent for. Upon ex
nmlnttlon he found that Feibos' back
wus badly wrenched and otherwise
bruised. Operator Ludgalo nt the
Broadway station, stated to a Tribune
reporter that Feibos drovo down tho
street as ho began to lower tho gates.
The whip was applied to the horse,
Feibos nttemptlng to get ncross tho
trncks before tho gates got down.
When ho reached tho westerly track,
tho one the freight trnln wns ap
proaching on, tho gates were on tho
wagon. He Inuricdly raised tho gate
n few feet, shouting to Feibos to back
hifr horse. Tho attempts of the driver
were unavailing, the horse refusing to
move. As the trnln came nround tho
curve at that point, Ludgate says he
shouted to Feibos to jump from tho
wagon, but ho too remained on tho
track.
The engine struck the horse at the
shoulder. Tho force of the collision
upset the wagon, Feibos fulling heav
ily to tho ground.
1 he statement made to the reporter
by Feibos wns that when ho reached
th rnllroad, tho gates were down to
allow a switch engine to pass. Tho
gutemnn raised them n few feet nnd
lie began to drive across. In an in
stant tho gates were again lowered,
but it was too Into for him to back his
hor.se.

APPEAL TO THE
HIGHEST COURT
MOVE CONTEMPLATED BY AT
TORNEYS FOR VAN HORN.
If tho Supremo Court Does Not Allow
ft New Trial tho United States Su
premo Court Will Be Appealed to
on tho Ground Thnt Certain Con
stitutional Rights of tho Defend
ant Were Denied Him When tho
Case Against Him Was Tried.
It George K. Van Horn Is to be hung
the event will be a thing of tho distant
future. Tho condemned mnn's attor
neys, L. P. Wedeman and E. W. Thay
er, have hit upon a new possibility of
saving or nt the lenst prolonging his
life.
At present Van Horn Is In the county
Jnll under sentence of death, with a
rule for a new trlnl pending before the
supremo court. It la not Improbable
that tho lower court will be reversed,
but if It Isn't nnd the sentence Is or
dered to stnnd tho attorneys will spring
their new move.
This latter Is nothing less thnn an
nppcnl to tho supreme court of the
United States. The nttorneys claim
they can show thnt Van Horn, In his
trial, suffered an Infrlngment of the
rights guaranteed by tho federal con
stitution. Tho constitution decrees thnt no man
shall be deprived of his life, liberty or
property without duo process of law.
Tho due process of law, It Is con
tended was not observed when court
permitted the Jury to view the scene
of the killing during the absence
of tho accused. Vnn Horn, It will bo
remembered, wns not taken nlong, nnd
neither ho nor his counsel could waive
tho right to bo confronted by nil wit
nesses ngnlnst him, It Is held that the
mandnto of tho constitution was not
heeded by court nnd consequently Vnn
Horn wns convicted by undue process
of law.
If tho supremo court will not accept
tho defendant's contention that the
promises were mute witnesses helping
as they did to tell the story of tho
affair ns much as any man who went
Into tho box then it will bo argued
that the law by Implication says that
tho accused shall be present nt every
stage of tho trial and will seek with
this contention to save Van Horn from
tho gallows.
DIESEL HOT-AIR MOTOR.
Effort to Have It Manufactured In
This City.
The Dickson Manufacturing company
and Individual Scranton men have been
approached with a view to having a
new type of motor manufactured In
this city. It Is the Diesel motor, which
Is controlled by tho Diesel Motor com
pany of America. The company's of
fices aro at No. 11 Broadway, New
York city. Adolphus Busch Is presi
dent, Hugo nelslngcr, secretary and
treasurer, and E. D. Meier, engineer-in-chlcf
of tho company. Not much
encouragement has been given for
manufacture In this city.
Hot air furnishes the motive power
for the motor. It Is constructed en
tirely on lines indicated by tho gen
erally accepted laws of modern ther
modynamics, but contains novel appli
cations of those laws which secure. It
Is claimed, advantages In economy and
efficiency of extreme Importance. So
small a Diesel motor ns twenty-horsepower
runs at a higher economy thnn
a triple expansion steam engine of 1,000
horse-power. This fact, It is said, in
dicates many uses in which the motor
will at once supplant steam engines.
