Quite a seilous mishap befell a be
lated young man a few nights ago,
which should be a warning to other
young men to go homo early. The
youth was a resident of a. town some
miles distant and piesumably not well
ncqunlnted with Hopbottom thorough
fares. He had spent a long evening
In the society of the "fair Bex," and
upon starting to drive home, Instead
of keeping on the highway, he drovo
over the old foundation walls along the
street back of the depot, and horse,
carriage nnd driver landed In a state
of dVillnpse several feet below. For
the 'damages to the wagon nnd harness
the borough paid $10, but just how
seilous the Injury to the driver may
have been, either mentally or physlo
nlly, la not known. It is probable thnt
lils thoughts must have been too much
above earth nt the time to notice
the pitfalls beneath his feet, and wo
would say to other young men, he
ware of a similar blindness when go
ing homo late nt night.

A runaway occurred down Main

possible happened. The street was
torn up for quite a distance where
the water course underneath was be
ing changed, thus leaving nn open
channel several feet deep, with dirt
and rocks thrown up several feet, fill
ing the remainder of the street be
tween walks. The team was owned
by the proprietors of the meat market
and was hitched to their meat wagon.
They had obtained a good start before
reaching the barricade, which had
been placed across the street, and it
not proving strong enough to stop
them, they plunged down over the
bank of upturned earth without oven
overturning the wagon. After cross
ing the bridge the wagon top was left
behind and they continued up the hill,
going about a mile from town before
they were stopped. The wagon was
pretty well wrecked by that time, but
the horses were uninjured.

Some Irregularity occurred In the moirment ol

tribution of small sains and losses. Special
movements wcra under way In Individual stocks,
but their tendency exercised no cHect on the
general llt. Stocks which have tended upwards
recently continued In that direction today, par
tleularly Consolidated Gas, New Jersey Central
and St. Louis Southwestern. Tho Utter was taken
on reports of a possible dlidend on the preferred
stock, but the common shares also rose a point.
While no corroboration lias been made regarding
the reputed deal In New Jersey Central, that
stock moed up two points, but only retained a
net tain of -i per cent, llaltimoic and Ohio sym
pathised In the movement to the extent of about
a point, but did not hold the advantage. At no
time during the day was there any Indication
of strength In the western railroads, which were
Inclined to sag on n ports ot damage, to the corn
crop In Kansas. Liquidation detcloped In Amorl
can Ice on talk that Interests ssld to he con
nected with the property were disposing of their
holdings. An extreme los of 2 occurred, but
almost a point was recovered In the close deal

WALLSVILLE.
Quite a little shifting about took
place anions the leaders In The Trib
une's Educational Contest yesterday.
The first five leaders maintained
their relative positions, although David
Blrtley made returns of the largest
number of points, consequently gaining
on Rodriguez for firit place, although
tho latter also made returns. For sixth
place Arthur Kemmerer, of Factory
vllle, and Mlsa Fennle H. Williams,
of Peckvllle, again changed positions,
the former leading the young lady this
morning by three points. Sidney W.
Hayes, of Scranton, and Miss Orace
Slmrell, of Carbondale, are now tied
for ninth place, both very close to
Harry RceBe. A few points scored by
almost any one of the leaders will
make a shake-up along the entire line,
as there Is but little difference In the
standlnc of most of them. Some are
working harder thnn others, though,
and tho effect will bo seen In the re
turns from day to day.
There are quite a number of young
persons who are watching this con
test fiom outBlde the lines, and some
of them must wish they had entered
Into the competition. There Is still time
for them to see what results they
can achieve and to prove to their
own satisfaction their ability. Full par
ticulars may be obtained by reading
the descriptive article on the fourth
page of this morning's Tribune.

Are exerting a powerful influence over
the buying public. From the remotest
corners of four counties come pouring in
a deluge of orders for items picked here
and there from the long list of generous
bargains given weekly at these great sales.
If our out-of-town friends are so eager for
these big values, what must be the effect
upon our near-by friends, who have all
the facilities for personal examination and
inspection. From every section of the
city come the multitudes to buy, satisfied
they are receiving reliable merchandise
for less money than the average dealer
can buy it for.
