What President Drowning of City Union of Christian Endeavor- er Has to Say About It. Attorney J. W. Browning, president of thu City union of Christian IJndeav orers, iti conversation with a Tribune man, said yesterday with reference to the suggested curfew law: "My views with reference to a curfew law nru not yet positively settled. When we have an Important point In law on which an opinion Is asked we mnke It a rule to examine the law first and give the opinion afterward. I apt at present examining the operations of the curfew in other cities. The ques tion before us is too Important for a hasty decision. The theory Is all right and the motive behind It Is commend able. It Is the practical operation of the theory we are to determine. "It Is a self-evident fact that some thing Is needed In Scranton along this line. Possibly a number of additional policemen w III be sutllclent to remedy the evil at which we are aiming. I doubt It, however. I think our olPi lals should be commended for all ef forts on their part towards the sup pi t'sslon of vice. They need all the en couragement a healthy public senti ment can give to them. They are equally as deserving of criticism for violation of duty. "If a carefully modelled curfew ordi nance will aid our olllclals in perma nently preserving our young children from the dangers, physical nnd moral, of the streets, then I think they should gladly welcome such a law. From In formation already gathered, I conclude that In cities where the people respect and obey the ordinances there Is little trouble and few arrests. In those cities the curfew has proven a great bless ing. I am sure the people of Scran ton respect law equally as well as the people of other cities. "As I said before, I believe the mat ter an Important one. It Is worthy of caiefui consideration. A free discus. Mon pro and con will better enable us to determine the wisdom of the law as applied to Scranton. I expect to ap point the committee of Investigation In a day or two, nnd shall aim to procure men of cool judgement, on whom the public may rely for the exercise of sound discretion before they recom mend the passage of such an ordi nance." THE WILD MAN AGAIN. He Appeared Before and Frightened Two Dunmore Ladies. Chief of Police Robllng was notified yesterday by two ladies living In Dun more, that they had seen the wild man of the mountains, near the Speed way hotel on the boulevard. They claimed that while passing along about 9:30 o'clock they saw a man only par tially clothed, dogging their footsteps. He gave them a greut fright and steps will now be taken by Chief Hobllng to discover the whereabouts of the mar. of mystery. This was the flrst official notification that the police received, although vague rumors have been In the wind the past two days regarding some wild creature on the mountain. A thorough seat eh At 111 bo made and It Is likely that In a day or two the mystery will be solved. JOHN McMANAMY KILLED. Run Down by Runaway Cars in the Dickson Mine.

Coroner's Jury Last Night Hoard the Concluding Testimony with Reference to the Accident That Re sulted in the Death of Motorman Stacy Westbrook Inquests Also Held in Cnses of Willinm Clem mons and Mrs. Jane Edwards and William Lukens. "We llnd that Stacy Wcstbrook came to his death by reason of a collision between two cars of the Scranton Hall way company, Sunday July 8, 100J. at Xebo Hill, Old Forgo. Wo find thnt tho accident was caused by the switch lights being tampered with by persons unknown to tho Jury. We find tardier thnt at or near where the accident oc cur red is a dangerous point. "We further llnd from the evidence and after visiting tho place of nccldent thnt both motormen did all that was possible to avert the collision. We strongly urge that the company should take prompt and effectual steps to pre vent further tampering with switch lights on any section of tno lino, and that greater caution should bo xer clsod In traveling nround dangerous curves." (Signed) "M. E. Panders, D. A. Powell, Thomas I,eyshon, M. A. Uafter, Thomas Heynolds, T. Owen Charles." The above verdict was reached about 12.15 o'clock last night by Hip jurors Impanelled by Coroner J. J. ltoberts to Inquire Into the causes of tho death of Stacy Westbrook, the motorman of the Scranton Hallway company who was killed July S In tho collision be tween two street car near Hendham. Tho verdict was only reached after two nights were spent In hearing evi dence and the Jurors had gone to the scene of the nccldent. TESTIMONY LAST NIC.IIT. Last night's hearing was to be given at 8.30 o'clock, Attorney C. P. O'Malley appearing for the Scranton Hallway company nnd Attorney J. C. Vauglutn for Mrs. Judge, one of the parties In jured In the collision. K. O. Hartman, conductor of the Scranton bound car, wns the first witness called. Ills evi dence was most Important. On being asked the condition of the last signal he passed, he responded: "The lights were ilxed in a manner whicli Indicated that there was no car coming, although I was expecting one previous to sei-lng the signals, on sev eral occasions the lights have been found tampered with. The boys always do It of their own accord, and In no Instance do conductors ask them to change the lights for them when pass ing. Ho declared that when he first saw tho coming car It was about thirty yards away. "My motorman," he re plied, In answer to a question, "Jumped off the car before the collision, but I remained on until It struck. As to the rate of the cars, neither of them were going at any great speed, but both very" moderately." William G. McMillan, conductor if the car coming from Scranton, was fie next man put on the stand. In an swering questions nsked regarding Westbrook, he said: "The Saturday before the collision was my first time over that loute with Westbrook. He was a good motorman, as good as any on tho road. "Tho last switch I got out at was at Ilendham. The lights there Indicated that I had a clear road before me. There were about forty passengers on my car, nnd as wo nea'red the Nt bo cut, there Is a large lock which par tially shuts off the view. "Just before the collision took place, as soon ns we caught sight of the an. proaching car, Westbrook put on tho brakes, but was unable to stop the car. When we were about a car's length from the other car, I Jumped off, but Westbrook remained. Our car was going very slow then, and In nn in stant more would have stopped. The other car was coming a little faster, but not much. When I Jumped off, I did not fall to tho ground but landed on my feet, In my opinion, no motor man could do more than he did to avert tho accident. FOHCE WAS NOT GREAT. "It would have been the proper thins to reverse our car, but our motorman was unable to do It, on account of the brakes being so tight. The cars did not collide with any great force, neither being very much damaged." Charles Newcomb, motorman on tho Duryca-bound car, was the next wit ness called, and testified that In sev eral Instances ho had found tho lights changed, and had often heard peoplo saying that there would be accidents on account of the tampering with the signals. He had never given any noti fication of It, as It was generally known among the men on the road. The question was asked him: "In coming down the grade, do you not generally put the speed of tho car up to carry you up the Nebo hill?" "Yes," he answered, "when the lights Indicate a clear road." Muster Mechanic Thomas Mullen was then called and testified to having examined the two cars after tho col llsion Ho declared that neither car was very much tlamnged, and No. a:, the north oound car was resting on No. S, tho south bound. Tho steering machinery of No. S was ery much damaged, it being necessary to cut the biako chains to clear away tho gear, showing that the brakes wero at their tightest. John Coombe, sr., of Taylor, one of the passengeis in the Duryea bound car, then took tho stand. His evidence was contradictory to tho bulk of the other testimony In several point3 and was nbout as follows: "I got Into the car nt nbout Taylor nnd when I saw tho other car coming down on us I jumped oft Immediately. The car apiu caching us was coming nt a ternllc rate, fully eight or ten miles are hour." Attorney O'MalUy here asked tho witness: "Were sparks flying from the wheels of the car npproachlng?" his object being to prove that an attempt was being made to reverse the car. Master Mechanic Mullen having testi fied that In cases where a car is being leversed eporlts fly from the wheels. The witness replied In tho afllrmatlve. John Coombe, Jr., vt Taylor, another passenger in tho Duryea bound car, then eavo testimony of prnctlcully the stimo i. attire as that given by his father, saying that ho had Jumped from tho car, not on nccount of the speed of tho car on which ho was, but because of tho terrible rato at (Continued on Tagc 0. THEIR NARROW ESCAPE. Martin Keegnri and T. IT. Gallagher Almost Drowned. Martin Keegan, of 420 Fourth nve nue, nnd Thomas F. Gallagher, of 507 Hampton street, had a very narrow escnpo from drowning nt Lake Ariel on Wednesday. The two young men wero out In a row boat, opposite Hotel Pines. The stenincr was very near them, and sud denly the mnn in charge received a signal from the pier to take on some passengers. Ho turned tho Btcamcr mound uipldly, causing her to strike against nnd capsize tho small row boat. Hoth the young men wero thrown Into the wntcr. Keegan came to tho sutfnee first, nnd managed to sustain himself by grasping the upturned keel of the boat. Gallagher came up nt ilrst underneath the boat, but soon came to the surface several feet nway. Ho was rescued by those on the steamer, as was also Keegan. Both wero unlnjuied, except for a most com plete wotting. FAMILIAR BADGER GAME. An Effort Was Made to Work It in Raymond Court nt an Early Hour Yesterday. That human beings could content themselves to live In such filth nnd suualor as was disclosed to the eye.) of the police and newspapermen, who hastened to a house In Raymond court, at 3 o'clock yesterday morning, to In vestigate an alleged murder story, is almost beyond comprehension. Noth ing of the kind that has ever been de scribed in pi hit could equal It, for a true and detailed description would not be printable. It is a three-story frame structure, located near Linden street, In the rear of tho 200 block of Penn avenue. The first floor and one side of the second lloor nre crammed full of foreigners. The other side of the second lloor Is tenanted by a man and woman, In ap pearance and of a character quite be fitting their surroundings. The woman Is Nell Nicholson, who created some excitement a few months "go by leaving her infant at u stranger's house on the South Side and never calling for It. The man Is an ex sallor, and he Is In the county jail for thlity days, together with the Nichol Mit woman, for attempting to roll a drunken mun whom he lured Into their den. After the drunken stranger had been gotten into the house, the pseudo hus band went out, presumably to got some beer, and as soon as the sound of his footstips had died away, the woman inveigled the stranger Into a datk, vacant room on the third lloor and. ac cording to his story, began feeling about his clothes for his pocketliook. He was just coming to a realization of the game that was being played, when the alleged husband returned. The stranger was bent on letreatlng, but the husband blocked his way, and proceeded to work the llnale of the old badger game, to wit: To pretend great Ire at finding his guest and his wife in n dark loom, and following with threatt to kill him on the spot, which would be followed later by overtures for a settlement on a monetary basis. The stranger thought his time had surely come and began to cry murder at the top of hM voice. The neighbors wero aioured and they yelled police, while one of them ran hnlf-diessed down tha alley and up Linden street, shouting that a man was beln? mur dered. When Lieutenant Davis and Tatiol men Ktuitis and Addyman arrived they found the victim bieaklng out of the house nnd oim of them took him In low nnd learned his plory. A can dle and lamp were secured and a search of the premises made. The woman wns found on a pallet of packing glass in the vacant room on tho third lloor feigning sleep. The man was uneart'iid half nn hour later, crouched In an almost Inaccessible alco In the attic, and covered over with leed bags nnd old clothing. The two were escorted to their living room on the second floor to complete their toilets nnd then the trio were marched to the police station. The board of health f.hould visit the houso and condemn It to total oblitera tion. It Is a pest and to allow It to bo occupied by human beings Is a crime. SHE WILL RECOVER. Favorable Reports from Hospital About Miss Swingle's Condition. Alice Swingle, who was taken to the Lackawanna hospital Wednesday night In a very low condition as the icsult of the assault alleged to have been made upon her by I3ert Roberts, of North Scran ton, was last night reported to be get ting along very well. Early In the day the doctors declared that she was In a very precarious condition nnd that the terrible shock to her system might have fatal results. ' Towards 7 o'clock, however, a change for tho better set In nnd nt 12 o'clock last night very favorable reports were given out from the Lackawanna.

Old Forgo Hungarian Who Claims to Havo Been Illegally Imprisoned In the West Side Foltco Stntlon Brings Suit Against Constable J. J. Davis nnd His Bondsman, Thomas D. Bevan Much Litigation Grows Out of a Bill Collector Being Scalded by a Woman. Three weeks ngo, bo it more or less by a few days, nn Hungarian, or Po lish or Slav womnn, as the case may be, down In Rendham, Mudtown, Jeru salem, or some other "patch" In Old Forge, scolded a collector for a merchant to whom she owed a bill. The whole court machinery of Lacka wanna county has been set In motion ns a consequence. Tho woman was Mrs. Georgo Du lange. A wnrrant was swotn out for her arrest on the charge of disorder ly conduct. Constables Davlsit the Fourth waid, and Timothy Jones, of tho Fifth ward, were entrusted with the serving of the wnrrant. They went to the house July 11 lnst and en countered tho husband In tho yard, milking the cow. Just what occurred in in dispute. The husband says ho simply told the olll ccrs his wife wns not at home. The oincers say ho abusd thoin and acted in a generally disorderly manner. At oil events, Dulange wns arrested and taken to Squire Foley's olllco where Constnble Jones prosecuted him for disorderly conduct. The squire fined Dulnnge $.1 and costs, nmountlng all told to $12.51. In default of payment Dulnnge was com mitted to the county jail and the com mitment given In charge of Constable Davis. PLACED IN STATION HOUSE. On the way up through West Scran ton Constnble Davis took his prisoner off the car and lodged him In the sta tion house. This was at S o'clock at night. Dulange was allowed to remain In the station house until the next morning. His ft lends made the claim that his wherenbouts were lost to them nnd that when they sought him to have him released on ball they could not find him. although they looked every where except the right place. Atotrney P. F. Loughran was en gaged to find him and have him re leased and succeeded. An attempt was made to got him out on habeas corpus proceedings, but Judge Archbald would not allow It, ruling that the commit ment was regular. The prisoner's friends contented themselves with tak ing an appeal and giving ball. The Scr.antonian of last Sunday con tained a thrilling account of the affair In which two merchants of Old Forgo, Mcssis. Schwartz nnd Sommers, were made to appear ns being the cause of Dulange's alleged persecution. The two merchants had Attorney Lough ran arrested for libel and the hearing Is to take place today before Alderman Nassau. Yesterday Attorney Loughran, repre senting Dulange, Instituted proceedings to recover $2,000 damages from Con stable Davis In a cause of action of which tho following Is a statement: THE STATEMENT.
