LANDLORD
AND TENANT.
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.

During about three minutes the harness
was left there ungarded it disappeared.
This morning It was found in Mr. Shollen

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.

STRUCK BY
A bridge:
Freight Train Conductor Lutz is
Knocked Senseless.
HEAD TERRIBLY GASHED !
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.
