One Stlney KartoftW had appeared before
Justice Lawler and oemplained that his wife
bad stolen fOO from blm. The warrant was
placed lu the hands of Constable Giblon, who
went to the house, but failed to find anybody
at homo. It appears that the wife,
in anticipation of arrest, secreted herself in
the house of a neighbor. Giblon secured
tho assistance of Special Officer Alex and
went to the neighbor's house. As the officers
wore about to enter the place two men
suddenly pounced upon them and knocked
them from the porch to the sidewalk. Giblon
and Alex were uninjured by tho fall and re
turned to Justice Lawlor's offlco, where they
secured the assistanee'of Policemcu Goodman
and Feltz and Constable Bolin, and returned
to tho sceuo of hostilities. The posso was
divided, so as to loaVo' some of the officers at
tho front of tho houso and others at the roar.
As Policeman Goodman entered the roardoor
a stalwart Polo confronted him with up-lifted
chair. Goodman threw up his loft arm to
guard his head and received a blow on it that
dislocated all the smews. Tho policeman
will bo ofT duty for.soveral days inconse
quence of tho assault. As Goodman was
attacked tho posse made a rush into the
house and secured tho assailant, John
Gurney, as well as Joe Christopowicz, who
assisted in the first assault. The men were
put under $000 ball, , each. Tho woman in
tho case was subsequently arrested, but

posso was divided to surround tho house.
Two of tho officers found two men tryinc to
f get Into the house at tho rear, When tho
officers got on the porch the two men
knocked them to the ground. Tho entire
force of officers assembled and tho men on
tho porch were overpowered and taken Into

into the, houso and placed seven inoro men
under arrest. A trip was mado to the lockup

Wild nnit Fatal ltunh of n llnnaway Onr
Near I.uiernr, I'n,
Wilkksbarrk, Pa., Jan. 11. On the new
Wilkosbarre and Northern railroad a run
away oar dashed down a step grail for
seven tnlles, wrecked a lumber wagon, an
olectrio onr and a house, killed one man
nnd Injured three men and a woman. The

and was Injured Internally.
The Injured are: William BiiRalow, a

mnn on tho runaway oar, badly bruised;
Annio Tomlsh, a passenger on tho trolley
oar, bruised on the head and baok and

passenger on trolloy oar, out and braised.
Tho suocesslou of accidents began at
Dallas, when tho rear oar broke away from
a passenger train at tho top of a steep

the oar rapidly acquired speed.
James MoCormick, a passenger, jumped
from the oar and wag unharmed, but
James Coxe, the brakeman, struok to his
post and worked at the brako until the
car was going so fast ho was afraid to
jump. Near Haul's Mills the oar struck a
farmer's wagon loaded with lumber. The
wngju was hurled Into the air and the
horses killed, though the driver escaped
serious injury. Half a mile below an
eleotrio oar was struok, and It was hero
that Leonard lost his llfo. The heavy oar
pushed tho lighter street oar ahoad of It
until both jumped the track and plowod
half through the houso of Cornolius Mo

Pettlgrew's Free Home
stead Bill.
Washington-, Jan. 11. The fata of the
Pacific railroad funding bill, whtoh was
debated three dura In the house last week,
will bo decided nls afternoon, when the
measure, with the ienrttng amendments,
will wmn to a vote muter the special order
under which the house is proceeding. The
bill Involves the settlement of the $118,
000,000 of Indebtedness of the Union Pa
cific nnd Cent ml 1'acltlc on the basts of au
extension of over eighty years at 8 per
cent., with an annual extinguishment
pnyment on the principal at the rate of
$865,000 for tho first ten years, $680,000 for
tho sooond ton years, and $760,000 for the
remaining years. It Involves as tho al
ternative of Its defeat tho probable im
mediate foreclosure of the government's
lieu and the salo of the property.
It Is the culmination of the struggle
whloh has gone on In congress for a dozen
years to secure some sort of an adjust
ment of tho Paoifie railroad Indebtedness
on the basis of an extension, as It has been
apparent for a long period that the roods
would default when the bonds matured.
The Interests at stake are glgantlo, and
tho frlbnds of tho bill are straining ovory
nerve. The opponents of the measure are
also active, and the result is awaited with
lutenso lntorost.
Both sides havo made polls of the mem
bers upon which they predicate their
claims. Before the llnal vote Is token on
tho bill tho Hell and Harrison substitutes,
both of which nro ponding, will bo votod
upon. The former providos that If tho
Union Pacific and Central Paclflo will
discharge the first mortgago Indebtedness
of $81,000,000, so as to advance the govern
mant'sllen ton first mortguge, the govern
ment will agree to an extension of the
debt at a low rate of interest. The Har
rison substitute provides for tho creation
of a commission consisting of the secre
tary ot tho treasury, the secretary of the
interior and tho attorney gouoral, for the
settlement of tho doht on a basis fair to
tho roads and just to tho govornmont
After the funding hill Is disposed of the
