BATTLE WITH A WILD CAT.
E. L. Craig, Formerly of Peckville,
Had n Narrow Escape.
V. L. Craig, foimeily of Peckville but
now of Tiovorton, this state, whete he
holds nn Important position as super
intendent of a powelor-maklng plant,
had a hair-raising encounter with a
wild cat, while out hunting recently.
Mr. Craig is a very successful hunter,
nnd while on one of his hunting ex
peditions encountered tho wild cat.
Having nothing but blitl shot In tho
sun, he did not deem It piudent to
tackle; tho cat. The valuable bltd dog,
which accompanied Mr. Cialg, at
tacked the cat. and It was then that
Mr. Craig fired. Tho wild cat, although
badlj wounded, put up a great fight,
and to avoid Injury Mr. Cialg mounted
a tree. When safely In the branches,
he quietly reloaded his gun and
promptly dispatched tho wild cut,
which weighed forty-one pounds.
A VERY PECULIAR AFFAIR.
Bullet Strikes Arthur Henshaw, but
He Heard No Report.
Arthur Henshaw, a conductor for tho
Scranton Hallway comp.inv, was the
victim of a most peculiar acclelent,
while returning from work last night,
shortly after 10 o'clock. He icslde's on
Mlfllln nenue, and was going along
Spruce street, between that uvenuj
and Franklin, when ho felt something
stilko his deby hat and then his head,
almost knocking him senseless.
He took off his hat, when a bullet
diopped out and rolled on tho ground.
It had struck tho hat and went right
through, cutting quite a gash on Ills
head. He hastened to Dr. livei hart's
ofllce, where the wound was dressed.
Ho heard no report of either a re
volver or a gun, and Is at a loss to
account for the affair. One theory Is
that someone fired at him with an ulr
gun, s
WILOSKY WAS DISCHARGED.
Charged with Embezzlement, but
Charge Was Not Proven.
John Wilosky, agent of the Singer
Sewing Machine company, was yester
day arrested on a warrant secured b
Mrs. Lizzie Kllsens, of South Scianton,
charging him with embezzlement.
It appeats that Mrs. nilseMis pain
Wlloskv $15 on u sewing machine and
later, upon going to Agent Davis, of
the company, found that tho money
had not been paid over. Wilosky had
paid the money, It seems, to another
agent, but Mrs. Rllsens didn't know
this and had him arrested.
Alderman Kasson, after hearing the
evidence on both sides and upon learn
ing that Wilosky had paid the money
over, decided that there had been no
embezzlement, and discharged him.
KRAMER IS UNDER ARREST.
Charged with Obstructing Lines of
Trolley Company.
George Kramer, of 117 South Gai field
aenue, was yesterday airalgned be
fore Alderman Howe on a charge of
obstructing tho tunning of cars on the
lines of the Sctanton Railway com
pany. It Is alleged that on Juno 4 and at
other times, Kramer got his wagon
across the tracks of tho tiolley com
pany nnd tefusod to move until tho
cars of the trolley company had been
delayed for some time.
Kramer waived a hearing and en
tered ball In the sum of JJOO for his
appeal ance at court.

ANNUAL OUTING
OF THE NEWSBOYS
TWO THOUSAND ENTERTAINED
AT NAY AUG PARK.
There Was a Parade in tho Morning
and When the Boys Reached the
Park Lunch Was Served to Them.
Afterwards There Were Races and
Other Forms of Sports, Balloon
Ascensions, Rides on, tho Merry-go-rounds,
etc. Those Who Won
the Prizes.
There Is one day In tho year at least
In which tho residents of this busy
city give thought to the newsboys, and
that day will eventually become one of
tho most-talked-of out of tho whole
3C3, If yesterday's outing at Nay Aug
park Is nny criterion of what tho fu
ture observances of this anniversary
will be. With each succeeding year In
terest Is nelded to the event, and not
only do tho boys and girls who sell
papers participate in the celebration,
but thousands of others look upon the
newsboys' picnic ns the greatest an
nual attraction now held at tho park.
Fully two thousand news boys and
girls were feasted, entertained nnd
lionized at tho annual outing yester
day by as many grown persons and
for hours tho fun nnd food were dis
pensed as rapidly as willing hands and
feet would allow. There wasn't a mo
ment from the time the newsies reach
ed the park until they left that was
wasted, and If you were not there the
vcene can not be properly described to
you.
Beginning at 7.30 o'clock nn army of
paper curlers giadually assembled In
tho vicinity of Washington avenue and
Spruce stieet, and befote an hour had
elapsed the delegations from West
Sctanton and other points arrived and
swelled tho foices, until It seemed ns
though every urchin In the city had
enlisted In the army, and they were
about ready to make an attack on
some unknown enemy, but at the
sound of the drum, all fell In line nnd
marched through the principal streets,
canylng flags, banners and other de
vices, nnd shouting their praises of
this or that paper or its representa
tives. SCRAMBLE FOR FOOT BALL.
Prior to tho parade, however, there
was a general skirmish for a foot ball,
which was kicked from the top of the
Means' building by John Hoi.m, of the
Sunday News, and tho set amble was
certainly amusing, the prize of $5, of
feied by Frank O'Haia, the Spruco
street cigar dealer.belng won by Fiank
Haw ley, one of The Ttlbune's most
efficient carriers.
Bauer's band led the way to tho park
and nil along the lino of inarch the
curbitones were lined with people
anxious to get a glimpse of tho boys
and girls. Despite the lemg walk to
the park, tho pleasutes In store for
them were uppermost In their minds,
nnd the walk seemed to be enjoyed as
much as any part of the programme.
A few minutes after the arrival of
the ciowd, tho laces wore commenced
on tho roadwny overlooking tho falls,
and for nn hour or more tho boys
i an until tired and hungry, when ad
journment was made for lunch. At
one of the stands each boy and girl
was provided with a bag of lunch and
a plate of Ice cream. Lemonade was
also served them, and nil were provid
ed with tickets entitling them to a
tide on tho merry-go-round.
The greased pig races were the first
event after lunch was served, nnd tho
sport and amusement furnished was
great. Tho first pig released gave tho
boys a run for their money and It
was only after a hard chase through
the underbrush and down the embank
ments that they succeeded In pocket
ing tho animal.
A lad named Edward Mcllugh suc
ceeded In getting a' llrm grip on one
leg of the pig, and almost instantane
ously Albert Davis, James McConnon
and Frank Jones each had a leg. The
Judges will probably have to divide
the pig. The second pig also afforded
much amusement, and David Lewis,
Robert Gerrlty and John Jones each
claim to have caught him first. Thcie
was also another scramble for the
foot ball, each boy receiving 21 cents
for being more skillful than the oth
ets In seeming the ball from kicks
by John Horan. Five dollars was dis
tributed among tho boys In this man
ner by Mr. O'Hara.
EXCITING RACES.
The i aces were then resumed, and
proved to be the most exciting and
amusing of all the events of the day.
A dozen or mote boys were tied up In
bags and hopped and Jumped along for
a hundred yaids to the delight of all.
Then theie was a three-legged race.
In which many couples started, but
very few finished. Tho majority of
them fell all over themselves in their
anxiety to win out. This event was
followed by a most exciting bicycle
race, In which there was a spill an1
other Incidental fentures,
A donkey race created no end of
fun, ono of the animals refusing to
go fnster than a walk. The crowning
featuie was tho pony race, best two
out of three heats, In which the rlelcts
were Myron F. Rlttenhouse and Lean
der Seamans. Each took a heat, and
when the statt was made In the final.
Seamans attempted to ride without n.
saddle, but his pony became unman
ageable. Rlttenhouse finished an easy
winner, but siaciuusly consented to

E. G. COURSEN
another heat, nnd finished about a
length ahead of his competitor.
The boys fairly raved over tho bi
cycle and pony races and the older
spectators also manifested unusual In
terest In tho races. Tho final feature
was the balloon ascension, three largo
paper balloons being sent up very
cleverly by the gentlemen In chargo
of the programme. Mayor Molr, E. E.
Robathan and B. B. Megargee acted
as Judges of the contests, and A. P.
Bedford. Dr. G. E. Hill, Hugh Keen
an, T. E. Pi Ice, P. A. Barrett, John

also had to exert themselves against
the combined efforts of the central

Do So by P. r. Ryan.
Frank Mawn, otherwise known as

terday afternoon by Alderman Howe
on a chargo of foiglng the name of
Richard Moiris, constable of the Fhst

In the case of tho commonwealth
against I. Rossar, No. 156, February
term, 1S9G The bill was regular
erough and Von Bergen asked Mawn
ti sign It and tho affidavit, and Mawn
promptly attached the name of Rich
aid Morris to the papers.
Charles Meitz, of the clerk of the
ccurts' office happened to be In the
ccminlssloneis' office at the time and
hi'did Van Bergen lefor to the man
with the bill for costs as Richard Mor
ris. "That man Is not Richard Morrl3,"
said Mei U.
"Who Is it?" quelled Von Bergen.
"Why that's 'Sally' Mawn from tho
South Side," replied Mertz.
All this time Mawn was standing
quietly at tho counter.
"You had better1 get some one to
Identify you before wo pay you anv
money on this order," finally said Von
Bergen.
"All light," calmly replied Mawn.
"I'll be back In a minute," he said as

EIGHT PRISONERS
ESCAPED FROM JAIL
rOUND THEIR WAY OUT 09
PRISON AT MONTROSE.
Removed a. Large Stone from the
Sldo Wall of the Jail and Through
This Opening the Prisoners, All
of Whom Are Charged with Burg
lary, Squeezed Their Way to the
Outer World Sheriff Maxey Noti
fied tho Surrounding Towns and
Formed n Posse.
Shcrift William 3. Maxey, of Mont
rose, was unpleasantly surprised when
ho nroso yesterday morning, by the
discovery that during the night eight
of tho fourteen Inmates of the Sus
quehanna county Jail had made their
escape, the other four remaining only
because of a disinclination to go.
Those who escaped are: Thomas
Coffey, Charles Parker, Jackson Evans
nllas It. W. Stephens, Frank Harris,
John Myers, James Dawson, Teny
McGovern and John Mnck.
All weie held on charges of breaking
and enteilng, and buiglnry, and their
cases will come before the next grand
Jury, which sits In this place on Mon
day next.
As soon ns the escape was discov
ered Sheriff Maxey wheel the police
authorities of this city, Binghninton,
Susquehanna and all neaiby polnU,
nnd offered a reward of $23 a heael
for the capture of the men. A num
ber of deputies were sworn In and
they are now scouting tho county In
an effoit to find trace of tho fugitives,
but up to this writing no tidings have
been received.
An Investigation at the Jail showed
plainly the manner of the escnpe. Tho
men occupied colls on the west side
of the second Moor, two prisoners to
each cell. They first gained access to
the conielor, and then going to tho
eell formeily occupied by James J.
Engan, ono of the men executed last
January for the murder of Jackson
Pepper, they took fiom ihe wall a
large stone which they had pievlously
dug around and loosened, nnd careful
ly let It down to tho floor.
LEFT AN OPENING.
This left an opening about twen
ty Inches wldo nnd ten Inches
high, through which the men later
squeezed themselves out into the
open air. One of tho men la
by trade a whlpmaker, and he had
fashioned a veiy strong and service
able rope out of tho bed clothing, by
teailng It In long strips and braiding
them together In the same mannet
that whip lashes are woven. Three
long ropes of this description were In
readiness. Two of them were fastened
to a bar In tho window of a cell near
est the Jail yard; the other ropo was
fastened In a like manner to a bar of
the window to the cell In which the
opening had been made, and the rops
then carried through the opening and
hung to tho ground.
After getting through the hole In
tho wall, It was an easy matter to
slide down the iope to the yard below.
Once down, the men walked to tho
other end of the yard where the othei
ropes dangled close to the yard wall.
Taking ihe longer rope In a coll over
his shoulder, nnd climbing up the oth
er rope, hand over hand. It Is sup
posed, that ono of the men reached a
point level with tho wall and then,
throwing the colled rope over, follow
ed by swinging himself to tho top
and then down the rope to liberty
Such a feat would not be an easy
one, but one of the prisoners Is much
of nn athlete and It Is believed that
he was the first man to gain his free
dom, and that once on the outside,
he held tho rope taut and thus made
much easiei the descent of the others.
The greatest mystery about the
whole affair Is ns to how the men man
aged to get out of their cells that
Is, If they weie locked In, as they
are bupposed to bo at night.
TURNKEY'S STORY.
The turnkey Is positive In the asser
tion that the men were locked In as
usual, and that each door was tried
before he left them for the night,
yet thls.moinlng the dcors were open
but tho bolts were shot, ns they' are
locked, making It arpear that tho
doors wore not entirely shut when the
key was turned and so did not fas
ten. How the men managed to woik
this scheme without being detected by
the turnkey Is a puzzle. Many ex
planations are given, but none seem
entirely satisfactory.
Coffey, Parker and Evans, three of
the fugitives, were caught red-handed
as they wore breaking Into the store
of P. a. Lewis, nt Great Bend, and
It is believed that they had committed
several buiglarles In that vicinity.
When captured, they had In their pos-
