B. OF L. F. MEETING
There will be a special meeting

and Landed in the Bed
of a Creek
A most singular accident, and
one without parallel in the annals
of railroading, occurred to a Le-
high Valley engine on the Weath-
erly hill on Friday evening. The
engine ran away and leaped into
the creck at Black Creck Junction,
and the fact that no oac was in
jured and that the engine did not
crash into something in its path is
little short of a miracle.
The engine was in charge of
Michael McConnell of Hazleton,
and as it rounded the curve above
Weatherly it jumped the track
The engineer and the fireman left
the engine to retrack it, and while
they were determining upon the
best method for performing this
feat the engine started, despite the
fact that the engineer had applied
the airbrakes before leaving it.
The trackless engine bounded
over the ties at a lively rate, down
the steep grade, with Engineer
McConnell and the fireman in hot
pursuit. Although the men ran
fast they were unable to overtake
the runaway engine, which in-
creased its speed with each stroke
of the piston. It continued this
ing at Weatherly, a half mile from
where it started was reached, and
here the guard rails and planks re
tracked it. Once on the rails it
rapidly acquired a fearful momen-
tum and when it reached Weather.
ly it fairly flew. Hundreds of
people were attracted by the roar
of the engine asit tore through
the town of Weatherly on its mad
flight. Showers of red hot sparks
flew from the wheels as a result of
the steam brakes being applied, but
despite this fact the brakes failed
to be effective
The iron monster dashed on un
til Black Creck Junction was
reached, and at this point it struck
a curve, and jumping from the
rails plunged into the creck which
paralleled the tracks. The engine
landed in the creck at the exact
place where Engineer Swank's
engine stopped with such fatal re-
sults a year ago. ,
The engine lay on its side in the
creek badly damaged. The tracks
were also considerably torn up at
the point where it plunged into
the creek

TOLD TO MOVE ON
A woman named Compton, with
a decided unsavory reputation, has
been ordered out of Draper street
by Chief of Police Walsh. At one
timé the woman resided in West
Sayre and the officers got after her
and drove her out of that locality,
She went to Milltown and was
also driven out of that neighbor
hood. She went to Draper street
and has been complained of so
frequently that the chief has again
told her to move on under the
penalty’ of arrest. She has prom-
ised to shake the dust of Sayre
and the state of Pennsylvania from
her feet and go into New York
state.

bers it was decided to adjourn until
Sunday next at 4 o'clock. The

| FRICHTFULLY INJURED
Adolpheus Sayles, 33 years of
age and a resident of Elmira, met
a frighttul accident in that city
yesterday afternoon. He had been
to Corning and teturned to Elmira
on an Erie freight train. When
the train reached the Eric station
it was running about twenty miles
an hour and Sayles jumped off He
|alighted on his feet but the mo
{mentum he had received from the
train was too great and he stum-
bled, falling beneath the wheels,
When the train had passed an
|officer at the station saw Sayles
lying alongside the tracks. The
| officer summoned the hospital am-
|bulance and Sayles was taken to
| that institution. Both legs, which
| were almost completely severed,
{were amputated above the knee,
and the left hand was so badly
|crushed that it was necessary to
[entirely remove it at the wrist
Sayles stood the shock of the acei-
| dent and the operation follow ing it
| remarkably well, and the physicians
{say that unless complications de-
| velop his chances for recovery are
| apparently good.
COUNTY TAX RATE
|
The county tax rate has been
(placed at ten mulls, divided as fol
lows: Court house, 2 mills; poor
tax, 2 mills; county, 6 mills. This
is two mills higher than the rate
was last year.

Dodging a Bet
One of the most ingenious methods
known of keeping the letter of a bet
and breaking its spirit was that of a
New Yorker, who wagered that he
would not speak to a human being
for a month. He won his wager, but
before many days passed his loneli-
uess began to pall. At last he hit
upon the device of expressing his sen-
timents by addressing bls remarks to
