Runs Away After Quarrelling With a Fellow Employe. WAS THROWN FROM A CAR. The Financial Part of the Sensation , Considerably Moderated by a state ment From Headquarters. Spcolal to Evening IIkuai n. Mahanoy Citt, Aug. 30. Howard Med lar, a young man of this place who has been employed as conductor on the lake side Electric Hallway, has been missing since last Monday night. The circum stances under which he disappeared were of a somewhat sensational character, but after thoroughly investigating the matter the people concerned stated that there was really no cause for him to run away,unless It be that chagrin Impelled him to do so. Medlar bears tho reputation of being a very inoffensive and pleasing young man except when under the influence of drink and this fault is no doubt at the bottom of the present unfortunate situation in which he has placed himself. At 11:43 .o'clock last Monday night Medlar and Patrick Welch left here with a car and trailer for their last trip to Shenandoah. Tho former was the con ductor and Welch the motorman. The car arrived in Shenandoah at 18:14, but did not get back to the power house here until 1:03 a. m. When the car arrived It was in sole charge of Welch, who ap peared to be under the influence of liquor, and who stated that he and Medlar had fought and he threw the conductor oft the car. The trolley rod of the car was badly bent and the wheel was missing. After surrendering his car Welch went to his home and has not reported for duty Blnce, although he was to have done to yesterday. Early Tnesday morning the railway official sent men along the line to see if any trace could be found of Medlar. Tho trolley wheel was founl alongside of the track at Bowman's and Medlar's report for his trips was found near the Yates ville station. It was by this report that the company learned the hour of arrival of tho car at Shenandoah on Monday night and the approximate number of fares collected. No trace of Medlar could bo found. Inquiry at Kearney's hotel on East Centre street, Mahanoy City, where Medlar boarded, has been ns fruitless as inquiries at a dozen other places for the young man's whereabouts. - The exact circumstances of tho trouble between the motorman and conductor have not been learned, owing to both be ing absent. Welch is at his home, it is believed. As soon as Medlar was reported missing stories got ofloat that he had taken con slderable money belonging to the railway company with him, but the stories were pretty well moderated by a statement to a Heuald reporter last night by Mr. D. D. Phillips, the treasurer of the company. Mr. Phillips was busy at High Point Park, where the Georgia minstrels were giving an entertainment; hestated that as near as he could understand Medlar had with him fares approximated at a little over $23, but as the company owes him about $13 for wages, tho company is out but a trilling amount. It was reported last night that Medlar had gone to Philadelphia, but some friends of the youne man Incline to the belief that he is keeping in seclusion until after the affair blows over. Others think that after tho trouble with the motor man Medlar concluded that his discharge irum me company wouiu ioiiow anu decided to use the money he had with him ana go away.

Two young women who bear a rather unsavory reputation caused a disgraceful scene at the corner of Main and Centre streets last niglit by Indulging In a fistic encouter over a discussion about men. One of them had attracted considerable attention during the early part of the evening by strutting up nnd down the street and proclaiming: "I'm the stuff." When, at 10:30, she encountered the other jvmazor, me iur new at a lively rate until the nppearanceof a policeman. Both com batants escaped arrest, which was a pity.

MAY YET BE IN THE SWIM. A Rumor That the Harrishurgs Will be Transferred Here. WHAT IT WOULD LEAD TO. The Pottsvllles Would Have to Hustle For the Pennant and the Game Would Take a Boom In Town. Shenandoah may yet make a showing In tho State league series of base ball games which will atone at least In part for the wenkness of tho past. There was a rumor abroad to-day that the Harris burg club can be transferred to town with very little trouble nnd some of our towns people nre ready to engage In a move ment to bring about the change. Mnnnger Brennan said to-day that a project to bring the Hnrrisbnrgs here and send the present Shenandoah club to Harrisburg has been under consideration for several days and if there is any possi bility of affecting tho change It will be done. An exchange would be preferable to disbanding the present Shenandoah team, as it would not mbico tho number of clubs in the lengue and there would bono question about the Hnrrisbnrgs taking the percentage the Shenandonhs now hold. If tho Hnrrisburgs could bo brought hero Shenandoah would get from six weeks to two months of flrst-clnss base ball and the Senators would have en couragement to jump nnd make the Pottsvllles hustle more for tho pennant thnn they feel obliged to at present. The Hnrrisburgs are now next to Inst in the race, but if brought here they would start out In fourthplace and right upon Pottsvllle's heels. This would put new life into the league and boom the game In town to such an extent that the backers would reap a harvest. This seems to be the only way in which the town management can get a club of players which will ba able to keep pace with the other clubs in the lengue. Anpthernrgument made in favor of the change is that it might prolong the State league season. Harrisburg won the first series and should Pottavllle win the second the two clubs might be Induced to play off for the championship. O'Hnra was released last night nnd left at noon to-day for EaBton. Atherton nnd Stewart, of the Demo rests, havo been signed and will reach ueru Qiitiiiruay morning. WE GO UP AGAIN.
