THE SCRANTONTHIBUNE-THUBSDAY, JULY 81. 1902. 53HSi7j2f -rev. -,r V I 1 The News of Carbondale. i U.UI........ Illl' III I J . I .1 .11. . ! II .... II. l- ' ' i ; imilfW EXPERIENCE l 0N THE MOOSICS t (Party of Huckleberry Pickers from Honesdalo Undergo the Fright nud Peril of a Lightning Storm Near j the Clouds. The Wayne independent of yesterday contained the following story of the terrifying experience of a party of huckleberry pickers, who were caught In a storm' cloud on the top of the ,Mousics, a few days ago: , "A number of Honesdale people went huckleberrylng on the Mooslc moun tain about a mile from FarvleW, where they had an experience up 'among the clouds In on electrical storm that will long be remembered by them. "The party consisted of Mrs. John Allenbanher and two sons, Albert and Willie, Mrs. L. LaPolnt, Mrs. Fred Herhst and Mrs. John Allenbachcr, ur. About 12.30 o'clock a' terrific electrical storm was seen to be approaching and nn effort was made by the women to get out of the woods Into the open. The rain began to pour down, accompanied with hailstones which were very large. Mrs.- Allenbacher says: 'We had Just 'crossed a barbed wire fence Into a road, where wo were nearly free from the trees. All of the women except myself werq kneeling on the ground protect ing themselves an best they could from the beating hailstones, which were fully as large as walnuts. They fell fast and thick, and hurt us considerably. I was Handing between my boys, with my dress wrapped about them to shelter them from tho storm and pelting hall. After several loud peals of thunder, a ball of lightning, accompanied with a tremendous clash, seemed to descend In our midst. We were greatly fright ened and thought we would all 'be killed. I was tin own violently to the ground near the fence and when I re 'covered. from the shock, one of my boys was ten or more feet to the loft of me .and the other boy was an cciual dis tance away In an opposite direction. I suon found that I had received an In jury to my right wrist. A piece of flesh was toin out, leaving a place large .enough to admit the end of .my thumb. I did not fee any sharp stones or sticks 'lying about upon which I might have fallen. The wound did not bleed at ull and there was no blood notlceahle until 'after we had walked tuo or throe miles. .1 had wrapped a part of my apron over the wound and at fho first houso we l cached tho Injury was dressed. It bled a very little after being tied up. A few minutes after the loud clap of thunder, which undoubtedly struck very near us, Mrs. Allenbacher, seeing me lying on the ground, thought she would help mn If possible, but she also seemed paralyzed and was uuablp to move. She did not have any ufc of her feet, and Mrs. Herbst, who was neaiest me, could not speak. Several minutes elapsed and wo had walked some dis tance before she could utter a word. My straw hat was torn In shreds by the hall, as was also those worn by the other membeis of tho party. "The presumption la that Mrs. Allen bacher's wound was caused bv the de scending bolt of lightning. The whole party was terribly shocked by the cur rent of electricity that came In contact with the earth near them and so thor oughly frightened that their limbs be came paralyzed and their tongues speechless. They made all possible haste olf the mountain." THE STRIKE ARRESTS. A Refutation of 'Squire Williams' Statements of Yesterday. A communication appeared from 'Squire Williams, of No. 4, In the Lead er of last evening, in which he was In error according to those who are on the other side. Tho 'squire Is under the impression , ths.t the charges on which the accused strikers were arraigned before Alder man Jones were tho same on which warrants were sworn out before him on Monday morning, and in his letter the 'squire makes suggestions that places Constable Ncary, and possibly Alder man Jones in a false position. The fact is that the charges made before Alderman Jones did not grow out of the same case as the one which was before 'Squire Williams. John Butler whs attacked twice on Monday. After the trouble In tho morning he had war rants sworn out before 'Squire WII 'llams, which Constable Neary served. The defendants, preferring not to walk up to the 'squire's office on the moun tain side, went before Justice of the 'Peace Holmes, In Simpson, as they had ,the right to do, waived a hearing and entered ball. The Tribune man was To take cold. It'a so common to neglect i the cold. That is one reason why there i arc so many people with "deep-seated," stubborn coughs, and so many more with " lung trouble."

Constable Ncary, who has been suffering from a severe cold for several days, wns not well enough to go to 'Squire Williams' office, which accounts for tho ball pieces not being brought to him, which would have disposed of tho cases before him. This disposes of the cases before Squire Williams. Now as to the cases before Alderman Jones: They were separate and apart from the others, growing not out of the morning attack on Butler, but the one made on him In the evening. Somo of the accused parties, however, were the same, which might lend 'Squire Williams to the erroneous belief ho has that tho cases before Alderman Jones wore the same that he was supposed to try. Tho piosecutor, before Alderman Jones, was tho Temple Coal and Iron company.through Superintendent Frank Hemelbrlght. It wns at his Instiga tion, nccordlng to tho records, that the charges were brought, and for the pur pose of showing that the company pro posed! to protect Its employes from attack on the highway. Butler Is not the prosecutor, though he wns In the 'Squire Williams' cases, which covered tho morning attack on him. From these facts, which were vouched for to The Tribune last night, It can bo seen that 'Squire Williams has written under a misapprehension of the situation. As to the question of Jurisdiction, 'Squire Williams says: "If the county courts would compel the magistrates of the city and borough to use their authority within the limits for which they were elected and commissioned, two-thirds of the petty enses by which they are pestered with expense to the taxpayers would never reach the courts for when a justice of tho peace refuses a writ the parties proceed to the city where they know the mills are always open for a grist, however small." ' In Hhis respect the 'squire Is clearly In error, for a city alderman has jur isdiction over the entire county in both civil and criminal cases. SUSQUEHANNA COMMENT. What Brother Whitney Says of the Carbondale Crowd and the Mega phonesThe Press Club Other In teresting Gossip. This Is how the Susquehanna people saw the Carbondale delegation that ac companied the Crescents to that town on Tuesdav. Brother Whitney, in his usually bright and spicy letter, spreads bou quets, as follows: "Messrs. O'Malley, Grant and Gelder, wide-awake Carbondale newspaper men, accompanied tho Crescents to Susquehanna, on Tuesday afternoon, and armed with megaphones advertised the game on the streets; and upon tho grounds did much to lend sunshine to the carnage. They were the cynosure of all eyes and ears!" Later in the paragraph, thinking of the snake stories that he had to write, ho stretched things this wise: "After the fourth Inning, in the ball game yes terday, tho megaphones of the O'Mal-loy-Grant-Gelder aggregation were as quiet as the notes of a dying swan. The trio had no heart for music, and they just sat upon the bench and wrote duck eggs lor the Crescents. It was worse than the farewell meeting of a cross-road brass band." Pitcher O'Gara thinks differently, for the megaphones with the "Oh, Tom my!" almost put him out of business; he was up In the air for awhile. This Is Too Much, Birchard. Not to be outdone In generosity. Edi tor Birchard, of tho Susquehanna Transcript, under the caption, "The Carbondale Press Club," takes us off our feet with the following: "Martin T. O'Malley, Carbondale rep resentative of the Scranton Tribune; J. W. Grant, Carbondale representative of the Scranton Republican, and J. Nor man Gelder, city editor of the Carbon dale Leader, accompanied 'Our Pets' fiom tho 'Anthracite city.' They are a handsome trio of capable newspaper men and marriageable bachelors." We might print an uncalled-for jab that appeared In the Susquehanna Journal, a paper that Is printed every little while; the "occasional one," as It were. But It's apparent that the man who wrote It was suffering from In somnia, and we're not going to Inflict tho maudlin talk of anybody's night mare on any of tho club's followers. A Breeze from Port Jorvis. This Is tho blast that shot from the Port Jervls Union ubout the Lake Lo dore came: "Feeling keenly the defeat tho Hones dale team administered them recently, the Carbondale people sent over the best nine to bo secured in that section, accompanied by over 500 rooters, many of whom wero armed with megaphones to cheer their home players, or to rattle our boys. They did not Intend to lose, tho emergency being provided for by tho presenco of a big bunch of news paper men from Scranton and Carbon dale, One thing should be borno In mind by tho Carbondalo team its players should not complain of unfnlrnes in ball games after the example set by them In n marked degree yesterday afternoon. For the sako of" harmony, our boys permitted several rank decis ions of their umpire to go by unpro tested, but when Carbondalo coachers Jumped in front of our first baseman several times, so that he could not catch tho ball from home plate, they put In a mild objection, but) without avail. This, Carbondale called 'base ball.' Howover, our boys took their de feat like gentlemen." Everybody who "was at" this game will smllo us they read the above, and they will bay, "It's too bad about the man who wrote that," particularly when they recall that It was Carbon dale and Carbondale men, nlone, who kept back Port Jervlsltes who weren't able to keep back themselves. Sour Grapes, Canalers! Only a Ilonesdaler could show such sour grapes as the following from the Wayne Independent: "J, Norman Gelder, reporter for the Carbondale Leader, and Martin T, O'Malley, of the Scranton Tribune, are contesting for honors In y'e'llow Jour nalism, with Honesdale as the target for their shafts." One for Manager Tappan. Carbondale has tho best team now she ever had on the local diamond. Manager Tapnan Is a gentleman and desires fair play, Wayne Independent. HELD FOR lVAKCENY. A Doublo-Headed Case Disposed of by 'Squire Mendelssohn. A. V. Matthews, of Jermyn, was held in ball to answer at court, by 'Squire Mendi'lssohn, on n, charge of larceny, preferred by Michael Senyock, of the Ramo borough,, Senyock'a story was that Matthews swiped hie Sunday trouiarn. Immediately afterwards, Senyock was arrested on complaint of Matthews, Matthews swore that Senvock waa in dulging In sea breezes when ho said tho tormcr got away with his trottborsj In other words, he was some relation to Ananias. Besides the charge of porjury, Mat thews accused Senyock of malicious mischief, namely, breaking tho win dows of the former's houso by pitch ing Owney McAndrew curves; and finally of larceny, the unlawful taking of a pair of trousers. It seemed to be n case of "hoss and hoss" In passim; charges. "People In stone houses shouldn't throw glosses," thought Mat thews, as did the old German once upon a time. Hence, his case against Sen yock. Senyock was likewise put under bonds to Htand his chances with the next grand Jury. NOT SO HEEE. A Eight Grows Out of a Jermyn Ball Gamo. Justice of the Peace Isaac Mendel ssohn, of Mnyfleld, dwelt with the cli max of a Jermyn base ball game that, happily, Is never seen In Carbondale. notwithstanding the exciting contests we have here oftener than once In awhile. 'Squire Mendelssohn officiated, as It were, as umpire of the foul strikes. Henry Brown was the victim of the foul plays, asking Judgment against William and Thomas Parry. He charged the pair with knocking all the enthusi asm out of him, after the ball game In Jermyn on Monday, between Bam Mendelssohn's team and the Brothers club, They did more, he said, than take his enthusiasm; they put him In the "has been" rooter class and made him feel like singing, "I'll Never Go There Any More." In brief, the Farrys gave him a good beating. The 'squire believed there was suf ficient evidence to send the case to court, and it went. KIND WORDS FROM MAPLE CITY Herbert Thompson, Tribune Contest Worker, in Honesdale. The Wayne Independent has the fol lowing encouraging words in yester day's Issue for Herbert Thompson, of this city, one of the hustlers In The Tribune's educational contest. The In dependent says: "Herbert Thompson, of Carbondale, who is working for one of the Scran ton Tribune scholarships, Is In town. Mr. Thompson Is a bright appearing young man, and we hope the Hones dale people will assist him in his worthy ambition." YOUNG PEOPLE DANCE. An Enjoyable Evening1, Despite the Warm Night. Old Humidity tried hard to roast this community last night, but despite his efforts, a good-sized assemblage of well-known young people of the town had a pleasant evening of dancing In the Burke building. The affair was an Informal dance, under the auspices of the Recherche, dancing class, and was voted a pleas ing success. Firth provided the latest dance music, Burke Knows His Book. Michael Burke, the North Main street tonsorlal artist, Is getting quite a reputation as a base ball umpire. Yesterday he was at Susquehanna act ing in that capacity In the game be tween the Carbondale Crescents and a Susquehanna nine. Jermyn Corres pondent. Michael knows the game and how to adjudicate, and Is a bright, refreshing exception among the umpires one meets In his travel in this vale of base ball woes. Unclaimed Letters.
