A THRILLING EXPERIENCE
George W. Schlager Thrown from a
Carriage Over a Bridge nnd On to
a Passing Train Extent of
Injuries Uncertain.
Geotge W. Schlager, the Washing
ton avenue sporting goods dealer, was
brought to the lickawanna hospital
at an early hour this morning, suffer
ing painful and possibly serious In
juries, as tho result of a thrilling acci
dent on the boulovaid.
He was tin own from his scat In n
cirtlage, over a bridge, on to a rapidly
moving coal train and then to tho
ground. Ills escape from death was
miraculous.
In company with John matter, Jr.,
ho was driving homo from Klmhurst
late at night. When the bildgo ciobs
Ing the IIc nnd Wyoming ttacUs.
Just above Nay Aug ptrk, was reached
the hotse, socuted at a local livery,
was frightened by tho headlight of an
approaching coal train nnd iiecnma
fractious, backed the cairlage against
tho guard rail, bioke tho rail and
caused one wheel of the cairlage to
drop oer the embankment.
When the carriage tilted, Mr.
Schlager as thrown from his seat
nnd plunged headlong to the railroad,
twenty-lle feet below. Mr. matter
jumped out on the opposite side and
b.ied himself.
Hurilodly seeming tho horse, he
climbed clown the embankment nnd
found his companion lying unconscious
face downwaid on the south-bound
ttnek. The point fiom which he
tumbled was directly over the north
bound track, on 'which the coal tialn
was then passing. It must bo, Mr.
Hlattcr ays, that Mr. Schlnger struck
on top of one ot the cars and bounded
off.
Mr. matter was unable to entry his
Injuted companion up the steep em
bankment nnd was compelled to con
content himself with lifting him oft
the track to the side of the road and
then hurry to Scranton for help.
Tho Lackawanna hospital nmbu
lance was rushed to tho scene and
the injured man conveyed in all haste
to the hospital. The last report from
the phslclan was that no fractures
ttte to be found, but that he was
severely bruised.
THROWN FROM A CARRIAGE.
Prof. Sullivan Had a Nanow Escape
from Seiious Injury.
While seated In a canlage standing
In front of CuslcK's undertaking es

morning.
The carriage was crashed Into by a

STATIONARY ENGINEERS.
Delegates Assemble Here to Form a
State Organization and Afflllato
with National Association.
Repiesentntlves of tho stationary
englnccis fiom all over Pennsjlvnnla
will assemble here today to foimally
oisrnnUe .a state association, under a
national association chattel, and elect
jcpieseutathes to the national con
vention of stationary enslneets to be
held In Milwaukee, Wis., next month.
Local associations of stationary cn
glneets have existed In this state for
a number of years, but they never had
a chatteted state organization. A char
ter for a state association was re
ceived y esterday from the national
headquarters in Boston, and today the
dlffetent local associations will come
together and nlllllato themselves with
the national body.
Thero are sixteen local associations
In Pennsjlvaniu, with an nvciage
membeishlp of seventy. Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, Eiie, Johnstown, Altoonn,
Ilatrlsburg and Scranton have the
laigest local associations.
Tho association In this city has been
In existence since 1S93, nnd has forty
two members. M. F. Murph Is Its
piesldent; John Gahn, vlce-ptesldent;
W. S. Glaze, treasurer, Thomas Rod
erick, financial socretaty, and Charles
rilnt, corresponding secretary.
Tho purpose of tho organization Is
tho lmpiovement of Its members In
their chosen craft. It also alms to
prevent incompetent men fiom being
given charge of stationary engines.
Just at present It will bend Its efforts
to have extended to all classes of cities
the law compelling stationary en
glneeis to pass an examination to test
their competency. At present It af
fects only first-class cities In this state,
hut In severnl states It covers all
classes of cities.
A number of the delegates arrived
yesterday, and were entertained by
the local engineers with a drive arouml
Lake Scranton and a tilp through the
Hellevuo mine. A prellmlnaiy session
of the convention was held esterday
In Industrial hall, Spruce stieet. The
convention proper will open In the
same place this morning.

LACKAWANNA HEADS
FOR PHILADELPHIA
WANTS TO BE INDEPENDENT OF
THE "PENNSY."
If tho Pennsylvania Proposes to
Come Into Scranton Direct, the
Lnckawanna Wants to Get Into
Philadelphia, Without Being Tied
Up with tho "Pennsy" Recent
Purchase- of the Bangor and Port
land by tho Lackawanna Means
More Than Appears on the race.
That the purchase by the Lacka
wanna of tho Portland nnd Bangor
road means more than the public
first thought for, is being more ap
parent every day. The latest story
concerning tho purpose of the pur
chase Is that a deal Is on whereby
the Lnckawanna will enter Philadel
phia by connecting with the Reading
over tho Portland nnd Hangor.
Tho Evening Telegraph ot Philadel
phia, discussing this view of the pur
chase, has this to say.
"The Delaware, Lackawanna nnd
Western tallroad, which operates some
poo miles of roadway largely in the
Lackawanna and Wjomlng coal Holds,
with tidewater points In Jersey City
and IloboUen, hns decided to Increase
Its operating tetrltoiy by entering
Philadelphia, and negotiations with
this end In view have been entered
upon with the Philadelphia and Rend
ing railway management.
"Samuel Sloan, tho chaliman of the
board, has had no shave In iccent rall
rod changes, nnd W. H. Trucsdale,
the president, has carefully avoided
any trnfllc alliances, but the opportu
nity to extend the opetnllons of the
road tluough the acquit ement of tlu
r.angor ami Portland rond Is regarded
ns n. capital business venture.
HE ADMITTED IT.
"A Lackawanna odlelal admitted to
day that such a movement was con
templated nnd would undoubtedly go
tin ugh If terms culd be nrrlved at with
tho Reading,
" 'It gives us another terminal point
nnd one that w" have long
had In view,' said th3 cfiiclal. 'Tho
Reading now hns a transatlantic
lino of steameifl nnd Is ship
ping a heavy tonnage of anthracite
coal to Eutopean points in which wo
would like to share, nnd our terminals
In Jersey City are not ns extended as
could be deshed.
" 'The Reading has a tralUc agree
ment with both the Jeisey Central
nnd Lehigh Valley, but this docs not
lntetfere with any Delawate, Lacka
wanna and Western Intention. That
line Is on a much different stripe. Wo
expect to get Into Philadelphia, and
that at nn early date through pas
senger ttalns will be running over tho
link Into Scranton."
Why should the Lackawanna give
over Its present excellent arrange
ment with the Pennsylvania to take
up with the Reading? Is a question
that naturally ptesents Itself. Tho
answer Is suggested by the persistent
rumors that the ePnnsylvnnla is to
come into Scranton direct.
WANTS ITS OWN ROUTE.
At present the Lackawanna sends all
Its Philadelphia business over tho
Pennsjlvanla via Manunka Chunk,
und the Pennsylvania reciprocates to
a lntge extent. If tho Pennsylvania
comes direct to Scranton by building
a link between Wilkes-Barre and this
city, the Lackawanna would be placed
In the undesirable position of being
compelled to give business to the
Pennsylvania without receiving any In
return. Let tho Lackawanna have its
own, or nn alternative route, such as
a connection with the Reading would
give, nnd the Pennsylvania might
come direct to Scranton nnd not do
the Lackawanna any serious injury in
its Philadelphia business.
In a nutshell, If the Pennsylvania
p.-oposes to have a direct Independent
toute from Philadelphia to Scranton,
the Lackawanna will be right on hand
with a direct and practically Inde
pendent route from Scranton to Phila
delphia. When the Pennsylvania
pushes Into Scianton, the Lackawanna
will push Into Philadelphia.
