REV. E. A. BOYL RESSGNS.
His Letter Was Rend to the Congre
gation Last Night To Take
Effect April 1.
Rev. 13. A. Boyl, pastor of the Ply
mouth Congregational church, last
night tendered his resignation to the
HUV. L. A. BOYL.
congiegatlon in a brief, informal letter,
which read as follows:
Dcai Itrothcis and Sl(ci.s of l'ljinoulii Chinch:
I hereby tender my iclRiiatioii a-. r.Htor of
ricmoulh chinch, the name to take eflect April
1, lOitt. Yoms in ClitL-t'!, benhe,
i:. A. lloyl.
The resignation did not come us a
surprise to the congregation, us it had
been understood by pastor and pcoplo
that he intended leaving the church,
having received two offers, one from a
Congiegatlonal church at Camden, N.
Y., and another from a church in Ohio.
A week ago yesterday Rev, Boyl oc
cupied the pulpit of the Camden church,
preaching two sermons, and made a
decided impression on the congregation.
This is tho church to which Riv.
Thomas Hell, of Moravia, N. Y re
ceived a call some time ago, and de
clined it.
A singular coincidence is that Itev.
Hell was Ilov. Boyl's predecessor at the
Plymouth Congregational church. Kcv.
Boyl Is a graduate of a Pittsburg school
of oratory, and preached In Ohio prior
to coming to Scranton, about two years
ago. He has attained quite a reputa
tion as an elocutionist and lecturer.
During his present pastorate ltev.
Boyl was ordained as a preacher in the
Congregational faith, and soon after
was installed as pastor of the church.
He is married und resides with his wife
and two children on Price street, be
tween Bromley and Sumner avenues.

TERR2BLE RIDE
ON A RUNAWAY
THRILLING EXPERIENCE 01?
,EB3HT TRAINMEN,
Lackawanna East Freight, Made Up
of Two Engines, Thirty-five Hoavy
Freight Cars nud a Caboose, Dashe3
Down from Chinchilla and After
Snfely Passing 'Many Dangerc,
Dashes Into Obstructions Just at
tho Foot of nn Up-dradc Two
Brakemnn of Another Train Only
Ones Injured.
A Lackawanna freight train ran
away Satuulay night about 9 o'clock,
coming down from Clark's Summit,
and rushing like a hurricane around
curves, along the edge of precipitous
embankments and through two rull
road yards, dashed into a caboose,
which it reduced to splinters, and
brought up ngalnst a retreating loco
motive, with a crash that piled up
wreckage, which was not cleared
away for twelve hours.
There were eight men on the run
uwuy train, but they escaped with
scnrcely a scratch. Two men em
ployed on another train, however, sus
tained injuries. They were among the
four men in the caboose that was
struck. They Jumped at the approach
of tho runaway, but did not get far
enough away to escape the flying
wreckage. Ono of them, Charles
Stnulpe, of Washington, N. J., had his
skull fractured and may die. The
other, Thomas Cannon, of Hacketts
town, N. J,, sustained a cut on the
back of his head. Ho will be about In
a few days. Both are at tho Moses
Taylor hospital.
Tho train was No. C2, a fast freight
running between Buffalo and Hoboken.
It was made up of two engines, thirty
five refrigerator cars and a caboose.
The head engine, No. 930, was in charge
of Engineer Daniel Vaughan and Fire
man" Waller Itaiuey, of this city. On
the second engine. No. 211, were Engi
neer Samuel Hall and Fireman Ed
ward Bund, also of this city. The con
ductor, Richard Stuck, and the three
brukemen, Michael Cronln, John Fin
ley und Austin Gannon, are all of Hall
Kleari. GRADE IS HEAVY.
Between Clark's Summit and Chin
chilla, according to the statement of
one of the train hands, ten minutes
m ere consumed. This Is a distance of
less than three miles. It was therefore
after Chinchilla was passed that the
Ir.iln was lost control of. From Chin
chilla into Scranton, a distance of
about five miles, tho grade is very
heavy. Chinchilla had been scarcely
lpft behind, when it was evident to the
train hands that the train was getting
away irom them. Brakes had been, set
by hand on ten or more of the for
ward cars, in conformity to a standing
rule, so that in case of necessity they
could bo tightened up quickly. The
signal for hand brakes was given and
these brakes were put on as hard as it
was possible to put them. Despite this
tho speed kept increasing and more
brakes were set. Still the train con
tinued to gain speed and it was not
long before It was realized that It was
impossible to control it.
When every expedient had failed, the
two engineers pulled the whistles und
kept them sounding continually. The
head brakemun, Michael Cronln, could
not make his way back to the caboose
and had to ride on top of a swaying
box car. Ho stretched at full length,
face downward, and clung to the run
ning board with both hands. Middle
Brakemun Gannon, after all the brakes
had been set, crawled down from tho
top of tho train and got Into the
caboose with Conductor Stack and Rear
Brakemun Flnloy. It was almost sure
death to Jump. There was nothing to
do but wait and trust In the slim
chance of the train avoiding a collis
ion and keeping the track, until the
train would be stopped by the ascent
of tho grade on the other side of Scran
ton. HEARD FOR MILES.
Tho screeching of tho two encino
whistles, nccompanled by the roar of
the flying train, could be heard for
miles, and, when In view, there could
be seen a Hue of sparks the length of
the train, caused by the friction of tho
brake shoes on the rapidly revolving
wheels.
In the Cayuga yard, tho main tracks
uio used for switching purposes, nt
times. On tho track, on which the run
away was coming, was a coal train
that had just boon made up. The
screeching whistles of the runaway was
heard, and what they portended was
quickly leallzed. Tho coal train was
backed with all haste into 11 side
branch. Tho switch was scarcely buck
in place heroic tho runaway dashed
DUSt.
Word was telephoned nhead to Scran
ton from the dispatcher's shanty in tho
Cayuga yard and. In the less than
tin eo minutes that elapsed from tho
receipt of the messago until the run
away reached the Scranton yard, offi
cials and workmen rushed hither and
thlthor making a clear path for it
through tho net work-of switches pud
cross-overs from ono end of tho ynrd

PasspiiRor train No. r. which goes

at the west end of tho stone bridge.
A clear paBBnge wnsNmado on the
bridge and through tho lower end ot the
yard nnd men were on n run nlong
tho while length of the track on which
tho runaway was lo pass, settling the
switches and sounding the ttlnrm.
TRIED TO GET AWAY.
Just to tho rear of the Scranton
house on tho west bound track engine
913, nnd a caboose Willi a Hoboken
crow aboard were standing In wait for
the freight to take it from Scranton
to Hoboken. When the, nltinn was
given tho engineer throw' tho throttle
wide open, pulled nwtiy from the un
coupled cnbooso and started up tho
wall track ns fast as ho could make ills
engine travel.
By this time the runnwny wns cross
ing tho stone bridge. Tho four men
in tho caboose which stood directly In
Its path either wore into in getting
tho alarm or possibly became bewilder
ed for tho last of them wore clambering
to the ground when the first engine
of the runaway wns fairly upon them.
Engineer Vnughan who was on tho
head engine saw a man jump, lie says,
just a moment before the crash came.
This was Brakoman Stnublc.
Tho caboose offered little or no re
sistance to tho fifteen hundred ton
battering ram that struck it with tho
velocity of something llko eighty or
ninety miles an hour, It wns crushed
Into splinters and its fragments hurled
in every direction.
Fifty yards up the track was tho Ho
boken engine struggling with all its
power to escape a similar fate. But
It was Impossible to get up tho neces
sary speed, and before it had gone
many more yards tho runaway over
took it, crushed in the rear of its
tender, a'nd' sent it shooting along the
track as If it had been fired from some
huge bow.
TWO ENGINES WRECKED.
The collision wrecked the two en
gines and first four cars of the run
away. Many of the wheels were
caused to leave the track and when
the second engine was on tho bridge,
spanning Washington avenue, tho
tiain came lo a stop, and the thorough
ly terrified trainbands frantically
scrambled to tho ground.
The machinery of both lomotlvos was
badly broken and twisted, the front
ends and tenders were stove in and
the main portions of each locomotive
careened somewhat in opposite direc
tions. The forward curs were "zig
zagged and badly splintered, while
down towards the middle of the train
two cars were partly over on their
sides.
The whole wreckage force of Scran
ton and some of tho adjacent stations
was hurried into service with all the
wrecking paraphernalia available, and
by working steadily for fifteen hours,
the truck wus cleared. Fortunately,
the second track was not blocked und
traffic was only slightly delayed.
The supposed cause of the runaway
was the failure of thp air-brakes to
work, but the cause of this fnilure Is
not definitely known. Some attribute
it to frozen pipes, while others say it
is possible that the angle cock con
necting tho engine air pipe with the
train hobo became improperly set.
Hand brakes, it is claimed, are of very
little use in checking a train after it
once gets avay, when the train is
made up of cars that have been sup
plied with air brakes any great length
of time, for the reason that the air
sets the brake so hard it wears the
shoo and wheel to a smoothness that
will prevent them from gripping when
anything less tlinn tho air force is ex
pended in setting the brakes. The
company is lo make an investigation
at once.
A LAUGHABLE INCIDENT.
Even the most tragic occurrences are
sometimes accompanied by ludicrous
features, and this thrilling episode was
not without one. It lis difficult to sum
mon to mind anything that would
bring a smile lo the face of Engineer
Vaughan, as he was hanging on to his
rocking cab, ploughing through the
Scranton ynrd, yet he declaies he was
caused lo laugh, when at tho east end
of the stone bridge his eyes fell upon
the switchmen signalling him with
their lanterns to "come on." They, of
course, meant to communicate that
word of the runaway had preceded Its
coming and that a clear track was
as they supposed prepared.
"I don't know 'just what I would
have done, if they had given mo the
signal to slop," laughingly reflected
Vaughan, when recounting tho Inci
dent yesterday. "I must say, though,
that their signals were certainly wel
come sights. I was fearful of the
bridge, but after wo got safely past
that and tho signals reassured me that
the yard was cleared for us, I felt con
fident our ride would end without dis
aster, for I knew the train would not
climb very far up tho grade on the
other side. It was certainly aggravat
ing, arier going safely through all that
wo did, and particularly through the
yard, to come up against an obstruc
tion at the very foot of the grade that
would have saved us."
Tho coals from tho No. 211 engine's
broken fire-box set firo to the timber
ing of tho bridge on which It slopped,
and tho Phoenix Chemical company
had to bo called to extinguish it. Lieu
tenant Feoney and a squad of officers
was on hand to keep back tho thous
ands who were attracted to tho scene
by the screeching engines ami tho
crash of tho collision.

BRIEF QUARREL
ENDS IN DEATH
SHOOTING AFFRAY IN A MI
NO OKA SALOON.
Michael Davis, a Police Officer of
Moosic, Souds Three Bullets Into
the Body o Peter King, Killing
Him Almost Instantly Thoro Was
Bad Blood Between Thorn Because
of King's Refusal, Somo Time Pre
viously, to Oboy a Subpoena
Served by Davis Slayer in Jail.
Michael Davis, a police officer of
Mooslo borough, shot and killed Peter
King, a miner, of Mlnooka, at Patrick
Sullivan's unlicensed saloon, on Main
street, Mlnooka, about 12.30 o'clock
yesterday morning. Drink and a brief
quarrel led to the shooting. King died
almost instantly, with 'three bullets In
his body. Davis was overpowered and
disarmed by the onlookers, and is now
in the- county Jail.
There were about a dozen men In tho
place at the time of tho shooting. King,
who lived just across the street, troll
ed in shortly after midnight, and flvo
minutes later Davis appeared, In com
pany with his chum, Deputy Constable
Decker.
Davis and Docker had ben spending
the night in Scranton, and Davis wan
pretty much under the inlluence of
liquor, although not drunk. King
showed no signs of drink.
King was a powerful, big man,
standing six feet two and weighing 210
pounds, but noted for being ot a very
quiet disposition. Davis Is five feet ten
and weighs about 163 pounds.
Somo time ago George Fasshold had
Charles Delmuth arrested for selling
liquor illegally. Davis was entrusted
with the serving of tho subpoenacs for
the prosecution. King wns to bo one
of the witnesses, but he refused to
obey the subpoena. This, It appears,
nettled Davis.
THE MEN QUARRELED.
AVlien tho two met again yesterday
morning, Davis brought up the matter
of King refusing to obey the subpoena
and they exchanged somo unfriendly
remarks. Some time later, a man
named John Ruane, of rather diminu
tive stature, got Into an argument with
King and King pushed him away
rather forcefully.
Davis stepped up and, addressing
King, said, "That's a rotten trick,
King."
What took place between this and the
firing of the shotF, the witnesses are
not agreed upon, but inside of a very
few seconds, King and Davis were
grappled, and Davis was firing rapidly
from his revolver.
Some contend that Davis backed oft
and drew his revolver before King laid
a hand on him. Davis maintains that
he did not reach for his revolver until
King made for htm. One witness told
County Detective Phillips that ho heard
Davis say to King: "I'll send you to
glory."
Five shots, In all, were filed. The
one which caused death entered at the
center of the chest, severing several
largo arteries, and, passing through
the body, lodged jusc underneath the
skin, below the right shoulder blade.
Another entered the abdomen on the
left side. A third struck the left groin.
Ono of the other two bullets was found
in tho celling, and the second, It was
discovered, struck an iron window bar
and then, glancing, pasfed through the
window.,
BROUGHT IN SATURDAY.
The revolver with which the shooting
wus done is a new, hammerless, Smith
& Wesson of OS calibre, having flvo
chumbers. Davis bought It In Scranton
Saturday night.
The crowd in the barroom ovei pow
ered Davis and handled him rather
roughly. He was taken before 'Squire
O'Neill and committed to the county
Jail.
When seen In his cell yesterday by a
Tribune leporter, Davis expressed sor
row at having killed a man, but de
clared ho had to do It in self-defense.
"We had some words about the sub
poena," said Davis in answer to a
question by tho reporter, "but that had
all died out long before the trouble oc
curred. Ho struck a young fellow
named Ruane who is twice ns small
as him and I said to him that it was a
rotten trick. With that he buckled in
to me and when I saw that it was n
case of mo being killed If I didn't pro
tect myself I shot In self-defense. I am
awfully sorry he's dead, but It was ono
of tho two of us."
District Attorney W. R. Lewis, Coun
ty Detectlvo W. A. Phillips and Coro
ner J. F. Saltry, went to Mlnooka yes
terday morning and began an investi
gation. King's body was still in Sulli
van's ploco and was being prepared for
burial prior to being moved to tho
house of Thomas Walsh, .where ho
boarded.

To the Voters of the Second Ward.
Reports have been circulated to the
effect that, owing to my position as
mine superintendent, I am now, nnd
will always bo against municipal im
provements, particularly the proposed
Providence road and Diamond avenue
pave.
In denial of the above, I wish to say
that I drive over that thoroughfare
several times each day, and can surely
see the necessity of that improvement,
and do pledge myself that in the event
of my election to select council, I will
use every effort lo bring about such
an improvement. John Von Bergen.
