Patrolman James Thomas Had a Difficult
task Getting His Prisoner to the Station
House Mail Wagon Between Gates,
There wns n great deal of excitement
Inst night about 8 o'clock, back nt
Lnngstnff nvcnuo ami Jackson street.
The cause of Hie affair was .Tolm Cn
moskoy, who was following people and
making things generally disagreeable
for them. Patrolman James Thomas
was notified and went back to arrest
the man. Upon being placed under ar
rest, the man drew an ugly looking
luilfe and attempted to stab the officer.
lie would probably have succeeded, but
for a timely rap on the head with the
club.
Patrolman Thomas started for the
police station with the prisoner, but
wus soon surrounded by a large crowd,
of which a woman and a man were
the most active In their efforts to
compel him to rclc'asc his prisoner. The
olllccr hold on to the prisoner, the wo
man held on to the o nicer, and the
man held on to all three of them. At
this critical period, Michael Grant
came to the offleer's assistance and
helped him to bring the prisoner In. In
the meantime, someone had telephoned
the police station for help, nnd Patrol
men John Thomas and Harry Brnd

to render aid. The fellow was finally
brought to the police station and
locked up.
Caught 'Between, tho Gates.
About S o'clock Saturday evening,
the horse and wagon which carry tho
mall from tho West Scranton postofflce
to tho central city was caught between
tho gates on Lackawanna avenue, and
a bad mlx-up resulted. When the
wagon reached the Lackawanna tracks
the gates were down, but after a few
minutes wait they were raised and the
mall wagon started to cross.
Almost immediately, the gates were
put clown again, holding the wagon on
the tracks. The driver, supposing a
train wns coming down the main track,
attempted to turn around, but as bo
did so, a train of cars backed Into the
switch at Luther Keller's yard. The
horse became frightened, turned, tipped
over the wagon and throw out the
driver and two gentlemen who were
with him. The gates were raised In
the meantime and tho horse started
down the avenue, but was captured
about a block away. None of the oc
cupants of the wagon were injured, be

was not broken. After picking up the

Some Men
of the Hot?
ooooooooooooooooo
One of the youngest men at tho head
of the coal department of this district
is S. Brlnkerhoff Thorne, the ener
getic general manager of the Temple
Iron and Coal company. AVhlle, com
paratively speaking, a new-comer In
the local Industrial world, he has al
ready succeeded In acquiring a name
among his business competitors as a
determined, able antagonist, and nvnong
the company's employes as a fair-minded
and just executive.
Mr. Thorne is a graduate of Yale
university, and while at New Haven
won his spurs as a foot ball player. He
was then and is still considered one
of. the greatest backs ever developed"
on the American gridiron. On leaving
college, he came to this city and spent
some time familiarizing himself with
the practical side of coal mining, and
In learning the inside workings of the
Pennsylvania Coal company's collieries
at Dunmore. He then accepted a posi
tion as comptroller of the Pennsylva
nia, and retained this until the sale of
the property and the Erie and Wyo
ming Valley railroad to the Erie.
Shortly afterwards, he assumed the du
ties of general manager of the Temple
Iron and Coal company.
In view of the fact that so many young
men nre gaining prominence now
