Lehigh Valloy Express Narrowly Escapes Being Wrecked. The l.Pliluli Valley express, due In Wllltes-Unrro nt 12.25 n. in. Snturdny, narrowly escaped being wrecked on the tnotmtnln n few miles out ot Wilkes Ilarre. The train was tunning at a lively rut i when a lnrue rock was en countered, which had rolled onto tho truck from a Hide cut, and became wedged In thu tracks. Tim chulne struck the alone and knocked part of It away, but the re maining poilion on tho tracks swept tnvay the steps of the coaches and the trucks of thu cars were wrenched out of place. The passengers. In the sleep ers were awakened by the shock, but nonr were Injured. Conttnctor James Flynn and Liveryman W. I.. Ilelles were on the train. Almost Identically the same accident occurred lust evening to tho Lehigh Vulley train that roaches "Wllkes Harro nt 8 o'clock. Thu scene of the occurrence was between l'enn Haven Junction and tho tunnel. A bowlder of that became dislodged from an over hanging cliff, rolled down on the tracks and rested against tho outside lull of the northbound track. The pilot of tho engine struck It when tho truln was at full speed, throwing It partly aside, but at tho expense if a budly wrecked pilot. The train was three (jtinrters of an hour lato In consequence of the acci dent. WAS GAME TO THE LAST Springer Suffered Ills Hutldlngs to Be Razed Sooner Than Ac- knovIedge Defeat. The famous Lacoe & Shlffer-Spilngor ejectment suit had a dramatic climax Friday, when n stiund of fifteen men under tho authority of a writ of habere facias possessionem, swooped down on the Springer farm, turned Springer and his family nnd personal belongings Into the road and then razed the house, barns and other buildings to the ground. J. It. FlFher, representing the Coal company, directed tho work. Over tures were made for a peaeeful settle ment of the dlfllculty, but Springer would have none of it. lie was offered the use of tho surfaco and all the build ings for the nominal sum of a dollar a year If he would sign a lease ac knowledging the company's ownership, but he stolidly refused. Then the force ful means of secuilng possession were resorted to. The farm is located at Oak hill, near Mooslc. Springer claims the land by squatter right. When ho came home from tho Civil war he settled there and married a glil named Decker, whose fatlier had squatted .on the land some years before. He cleared nbout eighty acres and began farming. On the strength of having held oin, notorious and adverse possession of the land for a period of over twenty-one years, he claimed squatter sovereignty. Hlch veins of coal were discovered underlying tho land nnd a number of parties purchased title to it. The La coe & ShlftVr company secured an un disputed paper title to about nineteen acres of it, and began mining opera tions. Springer by various acts pro ceeded to assert ownership, and think ing to avoid complications, the coal company demanded of him that he ac knowledge Its ownership by signing a lease. He refused, an ejectment suit was instituted and the coal company won, Springer falling at every turn In the case to prove that he had been In continuous nnd adverse possession for the term required by law. The com pany sought by various peaceful means to enforce the judgment, but falling In this, had recourse to the ejection. Suits for the other portions of land are pending. An idea of the great value of the projiei ty Is apparent when it Is stated that court demanded a $.'.(), 000 bond before It would even consider a request from Springer for an Injunc tion restraining the coal companies from mining on the property. LAST OF THE SERIES. No More Sunday Afternoon Meet ings in the Lyceum, With the meeting held yesterday af ternoon In the Lyceum tho series held there during the Inst few months by the Young Men's Christian association came to a close.

He said eve-y man needed to be saved, unexpected to be saved and every one wanted to he saved. However, many put the mat ter aside until tomorrow. He told of the young man who was too busy In pleasure, later, too busy In busi ness and when old. be thought It too late. The speaker then urged bis bear ers to act at once In regatd to their spiritual welfare. The association oichestra, under the direction of Mr. J. M. Chance, assisted In the service. Though tho weather was very disagreeable, the attendance was quite large and the service very Interesting. BOBBED WHILE ASLEEP. Anthony Mahon, of Franklin Ave nue, Has That Experience.

Tha unexpected visit of President Truesdule, of the Delawure, Lacka wanna and Western company, set all sorts of conjecture afloat Saturday and ycptctday, but none of them led to a definite revelation of Its purpose. There was a, well founded story to the effect thut he came to adjudicate some dlfferenqcs between department heads. If this was tho case, nothing tending to corroborate It leaked out. It Is qulto probable that the main purpose of Mr. Truesdale's visit was to Install tho new master car builder, L. T. Canfleld, who succeeded Robert McKennn, resigned, on Saturday. The arrival of Mr. Canfleld Saturday after noon and u conference at the Jermyn yefterday with President Truesdale, General Manager Hnllstcad, Superin tendent Fltzglbbnn nnd Mr. Canfleld present, gives color to this. Mr. Truesdale would not say that his visit had any particular signifi cance. It was merely on general busl nets, he said. Saturday afternoon the new presi dent paid a visit to the Diamond mine In company with A. 11. Storrs, assis tant superintendent ot the coal do pattment, and wus shown nbout tho workings by Superintendent W. S. Langstnff. it was Mr. Truesdale's Ilrft visit to a coal mine and he evinced marked Interest tn the many novelties it presented to him. He returned to New York yesterday after noon at 3.30 o'clock. MOrORMAN INJURED. Hlu Name Is Ocorgc Sluttcr and He Was in Charge of a Soutli Side Car Passengers Were Erightened. Geoigo Slutter, a motorman on a South Side car, was seriously Injured nnd a crowd of passengets were given a bad scare by an accident on the Roaring Drool: bridge at S o'clock yes teirlay morning. The car was returning to the central city ami was Just tipping the lannmlt 1 ot the grade where the middle and westeinly spans join, when the motor man thought to us.iure himself, before striking tho steep Piatt pbico hill. that the sand box was walking all rlcsbt, nnd nfter working the lever to open the valvo leaned out and looked back beneath the car to soo If the sand wns being discharged on the rail. He Is a new man and being unfamil iar with tho route, and unmindful of the fuet that the track Is very close to the sida of tho bridge, projected hln head too far and was struck by one of the Iron uprights of the bridge, which knocked him senseless and caused him to topple oif tho platform to the pavement. The power was on to tho last notch and the car uncontrolled started down the grade of the last span at runaway speed towards the precipitous decline leading to Spruce street. In a very few momenta it would have been be yond all checking and the car load of passengers m' I havo bad an experi ence that Is awful even to contem plate. In the nick of time, however, a young man who was standing near the front, door and who saw the accident to tho motorman hurried out to tho platform and although unfamiliar with tho mechnnitm of the motor succeeded In turning oft the power and putting on the brake Just as the fonder was pro truding over the easterly end of the bridge. The conductor was making out his report at the rear end of the i'W at the time and did not know any thing of what was going on until tho enr was almost at a standstill. When the passengers realized the peril they bad been in they were a badly scared lot but lost no time In hastening back to the assistance of the injured motorman. Ho was picked up unconscious with his head nitd face badly cut and taken aboard the car to the despatcher'.s of fice, whence lie was convoyed to the Lackawanna hospital. His scalp was torn open for a length of six Inches on tho back of his head and them was a severe abrasion underneath the left enr, besides several other smaller cuts and bruises. How serious these In juries ore the hospital physicians would not venture to say. At midnight Slutter was sleeping, which tho doctois said was a good sign Whether or not ho sustained con cussion of the brain they were unable to determine. . - - BLEW IN WITH THE STORM. Carrier Pigeon, Tossed About by the Gale, Lays Over. Hotel Rudolph provided comfort and cheer for a guest who neither asked for lodgings, tried to beat his way, nor even registered, as any legitimate guest should, nnd yet this same guest was vouched for and will depart on his Journey nt 12 o'clock today, undoubt edly appreciative, in ills wnv, of the kindness shown him. tie will not utter a word of thanks or tell how he came, whv he came, where from or where he Is going, but ho will carry a message to those who know him, telling why he was delayed. The guest was a beautiful specimen of the trained carrier pigeon, which must have been passing over the city when the snow storm of yesterday af ternoon blew up. Seeking shelter, the bird dropped to the earth and settled 011 one of the window sills at the Hotel Rudolph. Tiny packages were bound to his legs, indicating a trip. Another will go with him today.

Neither Is It a stool pigeon for the Hell company, nor a speculative concern. This much Is on the authority of Dr. John L. Wentz, who contctnplntes taking a large finan cial Interest In the company If It la given the opportunity of becoming es tablished here. To a Tribune reporter, Dr. "Went a stated that the company Is headed by prominent New Jersey capitalists and that one of them, William C. Head rlckson, of Somervllle, N. J.,wcll known In the business world as nn extensive pottery manufacturer, will come hero this evening or tomorrow to forward tho work of securing a franchise and completing the organization ot tho com pany. Dr. Wentz, Joseph Jermyn and J. A. Mc.ira aro mentioned as prospective) members of the company. Mr. Hen drlekson in bis correspondence with these gentlemen stated that he enn bring with him from New Jersey all tho capital that Is required, but pro feis to have tho company composed In tho main and In good part of loca! Investors. BUSINESS MEN ONLY. ' He also d"slrca that bis company be composed of busline men solely, and that rolltlc!ann who might give the company a 'speculative reputation be not ndmltt.d. Mr. HcndrlckFon Is tho principal stockholder in the Trenton Telephone company, which established a plant tn that city to compete with the Dell com pany and succeeded In less than a year in securing 1,000 of the Dell company's 1,500 subscribers and adding to that number 900 new ones who were Induced to put In 'phones by reason of the re duced rates. It N understood that the Scranton company will guarantee an unlimited service with connections up nnd down tho valley for $41 for burners 'phones and $20 for residence 'phones. Tho other new company, the Lacka wanna, of which W. J. LewU Is presi dent; A. P. Hedford, vice-president, nnd S. E. Wnylnnd, of Wllkes-Uarre, secretary-treasurer, offers to furnish business 'phones for $30 and residence 'phones, $21. TO SEND OCT LETTERS. Today this company will send out a letter to prospective subscribers, set ting forth what Its ordinance promises and requesting co-operntlon In secur ing the granting of the franchise. In this circular the claim Is made that there nre even now S74 subscribers on the Lackawanna company's looks, In tho business portion of Scranton alone. Tho Central Pennsylvania company is by n r means Idle with this double competition threatening It. One of the several nrgumontH it Is using is that these now companies have no outslJe connections and can nt the best give only a local service. This being the case, the entry of a new company would only mean an additional 'phone In every business place that makes ex tensive use of a 'phone. In Altoonu, where the Central 'Pennsylvania com pany has strong competition, the busi ness people have been compelled to subscribe to the service of both com panies. SLID DOWN A CINDER DUMP Caroline Scholl, Nine Years Old, I3 Painfully Injured Was Playing "Hide-and-Seek" Her Face and nands Lacerated.
