CHANGE IN SERVTCM.
Owing to the necessity for n re-ar
rangement for the .time schedule of the
newly-extended and extending lines of
Swetland street and North Main nve-
nue, respectively, u new time service
has gone Into effect on these lines. This
change cnused u rumor that tho old
"swing" time would he Introduced on
nil lines, but this Is not so, as was
stated by a prominent street railway
ofllclal.
The change, which will go Into effect
Immediately on tho above-mentioned
lines. Involve ndded cars, nnd ns a io
sult half-hour on Swetland street and
Luzerne street lines and llrteen-tnlnute
services on Petersburg will result. The
change will he us follow.: Cars on t lie
North Main avenue line will run from
the Commonwealth building, on the
AVnshlngton avenue corner to Weston's
switch, Providence, every half hour
from S5.S2 a. m. until 10.52 nt night. On
the Swetland and Luzerne street

D FOUND.
?ar-old Polish lad,
LOST CH
The little four
who was missed by his parents eaily
Tuesday morning, was discovered yes
terday morning at Duryea. The pa
lents reside at Oil Robinson street, and
were almost distracted. As was stated
in yesterday's Tribune, the lad left
home In company with two Italian lads
ot about his age, and whose parents
reside In the same hulldln;.
The Italian lads were found during
the afternoon nt Taylor, hut they were
unable to tell where their comrade was.
It seems that the facts surrounding the
case are rather mixed. On account of
the Inability of the parents to speak
English, little positive information
could be obtained. However, It seems
that a girl Is connected with the- es
capado and that It was she who took
tho children nway.
MAN'S STHANOE ACTION.
Patrolman Collins arrested a young
man on West Lackawanna avenue last
evening who was acting very strange
ly. After being brought to the West
Side station house the young man gave
his name as William Van Horn, and
said his wife resided at SG Keefe street,
Elmlrn, N. Y.
Often as he talked he would complain
of some person having put a stick be
neath his right foot, nnd this stick
flew up and struck him on tho hack
of his head. He also smoked many
cigarettes and had un extra complaint
about his teeth.
SCHOOL HOY'S ACCIDENT.
Alvln Conklln, 15 years of age, was
severely Injured yesterday at No. 18
school Just before the calling of tho
afternoon session. As a result of tl"
accident his right wrist wns badiy
fractured. Dr. F. C. Hall set the brok
en member.
It seems that Conklln was scuflllng
In play with an older and heavier lad,
John Travis. In some manner, young
Conklln was pushed from the lauding,
where the two lads wore playing, and
fell headlong down the stairs. The
fractured wrist was the result. Con
klln Is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Hoscoe
Conklln, of North Garfield avenue.
