An Afternoon Conflict in Which a Woman Suffered. DOWLING WIELDS HIS AX ! Block, the Tenant and His Wife Try to Stay the Attack and the Latter" Sustains a Painful Injury. There was a lively conflict between landlord and tenant yesterday afternoon on South Main street, the principals being John Dowllng and Sam Block, the clothier. It wound up with a vigorous wielding of an ax and a promiscuous flight of broken boards, during which Mrs. Block, wlfeof oneof the contestants, sustained a painful Injury. Block leases the property at the corner of Main and Cherry streets, In .which his storo is located, from Dowllng. The build ing adjoining the property on Main street Is also owned by Dowllng and is occupied by a Polish saloonkeeper. According to Dowllng's story Block has been trying to appropriate more property than his lease calls for, and commenced to board up the adjoining building In such a manher as to destroy the usefulness of a window at the rear of the Pole's prein lses. Dowllng sought a lawyer and was advised to first ask Block to pull down the boards and if he refused to do so an ax could bo used. Dowling returned to the premises In company with Constable Thomas Boland, who was employed to preserve peace. Block refused to remove tho boards, claim ing that he had to resort to somo means to abate the nuisance which the patrons or the saloon were creating in the yard Dowllng' then picked up an ax and away went a board. Block protested vehement ly and tried to get at Dowllng, but Constable Boland preserved tho peace, Then Mrs. Block came out and assisted her husband In the protest. Meanwhile Dowllng's ax was pounding the boards with trip-hammer regulation and as one piece was dislodged it struck Mrs. Block over the right eye, inflicting a severe gash and knocking the woman backwards several feet. Mrs. Block recovered from the shock and, without minding the blood that streamed from tho wound and over her clothing, again joined her husband In protesting against Dowllng's work, ijowimg aroppou tne ax and ran away when he saw Mrs. Block was injured, but under advice of his friends he resumed work and continued pounding the boards until every one was removed; he than retired with the con stable and went before Justice Card In. where he entered a suit for damages against Block for trespass and malicious mischief.

STREET WHISPERINGS. Odds and Ends Gleaned By Reporters on the Streets. Our town Is about to lose another of Its oldest and most prominent families in the departure of S. A. Beddall and family. Mr. Beddall has been making frequent trips out of town recently, but has studiously guarded the object of the trips as a secret. I am informed by excellent authority, however, that Mr. Beddall has formed a partnership with George Bur chill, of Frackvllle, In the purchase of a coal mine at Tuscarorn and that our townsman will become n resident of Tatnaqun, Thus It Is that one by on? the representative people aro leaving ns, and am lend to bellevo with others who have expressed the fear that within a few short years the people who will rank of. tho representative citizens of the town will be those who a short tlmo ago were gnzed upon with curiosity as they alighted from the arriving trains. An electrician who stood beside me at one of the pass-the-tlme-away places on Main street tho other ovenlugsald, after gazing intently at tho network of electric wires nbove the pavement, "One of the greatest responsibilities the electrical companies have Is to watch the Insolation of tho wires. Should the covering burn oil and the wire come in contact with a limb of a tree yon could hove as danger ous ablaze within tho shortest spaco of time as can be Imagined." And I believe blm. By slow approaches cold weather Is drawing near. Fires are already comfort able some days. No doubt we shall have many more pleasant autumn days but the time for sultry days and hot nights has gone by. Stoves and overcoats will be pur best friends for some months to 03 me. It Beems strange, indeed, how some men will sit around and blow themselves h6arso about having one, of the finest and most intelligent dogs in the country, but let some suggest that the ordinance in regard to dogs be enforced and see how quick most ot these men will declare that they never owned a dog and wouldn't have one of the pesky brutes about the bouBe. I will bet mv last summer straw bat that it the borough authorities would enforce the ordinance the pedigree of nine-tenths of the much praised dogs would drop with lightning rapidity. Speaking of dogs reminds me of a fight I witnessed on Jardln street the other evening between two butchers of town, Ono charged the other with using horse rccat to All bis "casings" and "the other" resented the charge with a well directed shot from the right shoulder. Friends interfered and prevented what might have been a bloody fracas, as both men are noted as sluggers. For some time a rumor has been going the rounds that the Bhops at Delano were working overtime. I made inquiry aB to the truth of the report aud it is emphatt cally denied. It fs claimed that a man must stand A No. 1 to secure any overtime at the shops. Last week they worked five eight-hour shifts. I am told that hoys aredn the habit of constructing loafing shanties in mine breaches and keeping fires in them dally, This is a very' bad practice and if boya are caught at it they wUl meet with severe .punishment. It is not long since the fire department was called out to extinguish a fire In a breach that .threatened serious damage. Two scrub teams engaged in a game of foot ball on North Main street, between Lloyd and Centre, last night, and afforded much amusement for the large orowd of spectators that congregated. We may now look for advertisements of this char acter: "Great foot ball match 1 Throw "ems vs. Chuck 'ems, at the Main street grounds. Game called at 8 p. m. No police interference." I met a Pottsville installment agent yes terday whd chuckled as he told me of a sale he had just made to a Hungarian family In the fCirst Vrard. He went Into the house to sell a fancy table cloth. None of the occupants could understand Eng lish, but the agent managed to get tha woman of the house to understand that the cloth could be purchased for seven dollars cash. She bought and spread It over the bed, then she summoned her dozen or more boarders and as they stood about the couch admiring the supposed quilt the agent slipped out of the house and hurried for the train.

He Was Standing on Top of a Car Looking Over His Way Bills and Didn't Notice the Bridge. Jacob Lutz. a Lehigh Valley freight train conductor, met with a BerloUS acot dent nt the red bridge last night and had a narrow escape from' death. Lutz was put in charge of the Empire freight train last night and pasKed through town, eastbound, at about half past seven o'clock. He stood on top ot a car with his lantern swung upon his arm and was looking over his way bills. While thus engaged ho did not notice the train approach the bridge and It struck him. The conductor fell backward upou the roof of tho car unconscious. His body rolled to the edge of the roof, but fortu nately did not roll over. If it had the wheels of the train would have crushed it. One of the crew saw tho conductor's lantern drop and roll to the ground. He signaled tho engluoer and the train was stopped. It was thought the victim had followed the lantern to the ground, but after a search along side and under the train and along tho track to the rear the unconscious man was found on the top of the car. Blood flowed profusely from deep gashes on the back of the head, the forehead and face. Water was secured and In a few moments the conductor was restored to consciousness. Ho was assisted from the car to Dr. Straub's office, tho train mean while proceeding on Its journey. An ex ami nation of the In juries Bhbwed that they were severe, but not dangerous, and after they were dressed Lutz was assisted to his home. He Is. 28 years old and re. sides in Mahanoy City. INSTANTLY KILLED.

The men working In tho place had tried to bar down what uppearud to be a treach erous piece of topstulf, but failed to move It.
