A FALSE ALARM.
Hook niul Ladder Truck and Ico Wagon
In Collision.
At 0:30 this morning a flro alarm was
sounded from tho Fourth ward, but It was
found to havo been caused br a hasty con
clusion. A 11 ro was being kindled In a house
at the corner of Gilbert street and Iiasp
berry alloy, occupied by a Polish family.
Tho chlmnoy was blocked and the smoko
forced itself Into tho adjoining house.
As tho IEcscuo Hook and Ladder truck was
on Its way down Main street, In responso to
tho alarm, It collided with a wagon of tho
Shenandoah Ico Company and caused a
wreck. It was necessary to swerve the truck
to tho cast sldo of tho street on account of a
largo pile of hi mbor stored on tho west side,
n tront ot tho Hwalm bunding. Tho Ice
wagon was standing in front of Peter's
saloon when It was struck by the
rear part of the hook and ladder
truck. Tho latter was going at such
speed that It dragged tho ico wagon down to
the curb in front of Klein's liquor store, the
team of the ice wagon being forced upon the
pavement, but uninjured. A front and rear
wheel of the tee wagon wero wrecked. The
rear axlo of tho hook and ladder truck was
so badly bent at each hub that tho truck will
bo out of service until renairs can be mad.
Thero Is a diversity of opinion as to tho
causo or tno accident. Marshal Hughes, tho
hook and ladder driver, says ho had about
flvo feet clear to pass the Ico wagon. It was
the opinion of some that tho steersman lost
control of the wheel, but tho latter, who was
Charles Hoffman, says that aftor rounding
tho lumber pile tho rear truck slid over to
tho Ico wagon and it was Imposslblo to con
trol It and avoid tho collision.
A statement which seems to satisfactorilr
ezpiam tuo causo or tno collision was given
out this afternoon. Aftor tho hook and lad
der truck was taken back to headquarters an
examination was made. In tho rear gear
mere Is a half moon cog, nnd in this col- is a
smaller ouo that controls tho running of the
gear. A bolt attached to the smaller cog
broke when tho truck was on its war down
Main street, and this break caused tho
tlttler man to lose control of the wheel.
The hook and ladder company has fixed ud
a truck for temporary service during repairs
to tiie damaged one. They had it photo
graphed by Dabb. It Is a uniquo arrange
ment.

ARROW ESCAPES FROM DEATH I
Boy's Balr Singed A Olrl Stiffen Burns
and Bruises-One Young Woman Was
Thrown Under a Table anil
Rendered Unconscious.
Ono of the most rcmarkablo cases of escape
from death by lightning In tbo history of
this part of the stato occurred at Yatosville
last evening during tbo thunderstorm and
tho remarkable adjunct of a fall of hail.
Tho scene was at the homo of Henry
Busick, of Yatesvlllo, a fire boss employed at
tho Knickerbocker colliery. At least two
mombers of tho family had an almost miracul
ous escapo from death.
While the storm was at its height Mr.
Busick, his wife and two children, Carrie,
aged 13 years, and Baymond, aged 5 years.
wero standing near tho opon kitchen door,
watching the fall of hall. Tho building is
ono of tho two-story framo structures with a
kitchen extension erected near tho electric
railway trestle after several houses in tho
patch had been pulltd down by Knicker
bocker colliery workings caving In.
As tho family stood at tho placo stated a
bolt of lightning struck tbo chimney of tho
main house, glided along tho rear roof,
ripped off all tho weather boards, then took
revorso course, entering the top of tho roar
window of tho second story, ripped about
oight feet of plastering from tho ceiling and
largo patches from tho wall, aud ' then weut
down into tho rear room of tho main build
Ing on the first lloor. Hero the bolt ripped
up carpets, scattered furnituro about, and
then shot out to the kitchen and made its
exit close to tho jamb of tbo door at which
tho family was standing. After tho bolt left
the houso it buried itself at tho baso of a polo
fifty feet distant.
As tho bolt passed out at tho kitchen door
Busick, his wifo and children received
shock that knocked all of them sprawling
upon the floor amid the scattered furnituro
and falling splinters of wood from tho un
plastered walls of tho kitchen. The house
was badly damaged from roof to kitchen
As soon as Mr. aud Mrs. Busick recovered
from the shock they turned their attention to
tho two children, who were still Iu a half
dazed condition upon the floor. It was found
that the hair was thoroughly singod from
the boy's head, his faco was slightly scorched
aud he suffered some shock, which caused a
temporary loss of power in the right arm
Tho daughter was lightly burned about the
brow, the left arm was slightly burned from
the shoulder to the wrist and suffered bruises
and abrasions from flying debris. Mrs. Busick
suffered from concussion, the drums of her
oars being affoctod and caunng partial deaf
ness. This morning the father, son and
daughter complained that their sight was af.
fected.
Dr. J. S. Calien, who was called to the
houso last night, stated to-day that he treated
the two children and their condition Is such
that ho did uot think any further attendance
was necessary. The electrical effect was
transitory and ho anticipated no serious
rosults. The case, he said, was a remarkable
one. It was surprising that tho members of
tho family should have suffered as they did
and yot.escape so fortunately.
ANOTHER HOUSE STEUCK.
The electrical storm also created constemi.
tion at tho houso of Dennis O'Neill, at Elian,
gowan. ' A bolt of lightning struck tho cable
end of the roof on tho west side of the houso
and took a direct course to the ground, sett
ing Are to the house between the weather
boards and the plastering from the roof to
the top of the first story window and ignit
ing tno lace curtains on the window.
Mr. O'Neill's two daughters, Lizzie, aged
!, and Mary, aged 18, and his son, Terrance.
aged 17, suffered from shock. Mary was
burled under a tablo and rendered uncon
scious. Lizzie's left arm and leg wero para
lyzed for some tlmo. Tbo sou was thrown
against a wall, but escaped Injury. Dr. G
M. Hamilton was summoned to attend the
victims. Ho says all will fully recover,
At about the same time O'Neill's houso was
struek a bolt hit a large oak tree standing
near the place and splintered it. It Is statod
that both these bolts came from a perfectly
clear sky, and that the sun was shining at
the time. Dr. Hamilton was driving through
Lllaugowan at the time.
The fire at the O'Neill houso was ex,
tingulshed by a bucket brigade before much
damage was done.
Lightning's Work.
During tho terrific thunder storm of last
evening, John Welliver, firoman at the
electric light plant at Hazletou, was struck
by lightning and probably fatally injured,
The building was badly wrecked, as was also
that of the fire compauy and a barn near the
town.

Concord, N. H., Juiy 13. There waa
a lively time at the hearing yestorday
before tho civil service commission Into
the charges against Senator Qalllnger,
In which the senator la charged with
having lovled assessments for political
purposes on federal office holders.
Senator Gallinger denies that he, aa
chairman of the stato committee, or
dored tho circulars sent out, nnd W.
V. Thayer, treasurer of the state com
mittee, did not appear before tho com
missioners. Letters written by Mr.
Thayer to tho commission In 180S were
read. In one of these ho said: "Detng
an officer of tho committee, I acted
on my own responsibility, and am
answerable only to the committee for
what I did." In a subsequent letter
Mr. Thayer said that neither Senator
Gallinger nor the stato cotnmltteo
made any suggestions about tho cir
cular, but knew about its being sent
to the federal officials.
After an exchange of opinion as to
the opening and closing of the case and
the admission of evidonce after the
close of tho argument and brief. Sen
ator Chandler remarked: "The com
mission seems to havo found out every
thing connected with this Investiga
tion except who wrote the assessments
penned the office holders, who fixed the
sums to be assessed, who directed the
envelopes and who sent them out. The
essential things havo not beon ascer
tained. It is for the commission to do
this and fine these men" r
Hero he was Interrupted by Mr.
Brewer, "I object to these things be
ing taken down."
Mr. Chandler Very well. I will
say It without having It taken down.
Mr. Brewer Not In this room. This
Is my room, and I pay for It.
Senator Chandler I nra not to be
muzzled iu this room. I have my
rights.
Mr. Brewer You havo no rights ex
cept those of a gentleman.
After a further colloquy. In which
by Implication each said the other was
not a gentleman, Senator Chandler
proceeded to say that the man most
wanted In connection with the Inves
tigation did not happen to be present.
"Mr. Thayer Is In this city today, and
I believe has been kept nway by Sen
ator Gallinger," said Mr. Chandler.
Senator Gallinger and his counsel,
Attorney General Eastman, at once
shouted: "That Is absolutely false; It
Is not true. Mr. Eastman continued,
calling Chandler a liar, and said: "I
do not care If you are a United States
senator."
Senator Chandler retorted: "And I
do not care if you aro attorney general
and are defending criminals when you
should be prosecuting them."
Senator Gallinger appealed to tn,
chair.
Senator Chandler said: "Men who
call other men liars do not need pro
tection. I repeat, I believe Senator
Gallinger has kept Mr. Thayer away."
Senator Gallinger shouted: "You
don't dare to come outside this room
and say that?"
"I will go outside and say It, re
plied Mr. Chandler, starting for tho
door.
Friends restrained both men, and
after a few minutes of confusion the
hearing went on.
Senator Gallinger read a prepared
statement showing the case against
him to be utterly collapsed nnd pro
testing against Its further continuance.
He then left the room, and his coun
sel, Mr, Eastman, spoke with a view to
softening the harsh words ho had used
to Senator Chandler. The latter made
a similar concession to Mr. Eastman,
nnd under such happy auspices tho
meeting adjourned, probably never to
resume.
Tho commissioners will not leave
town until this afternoon, but thero Is
little likelihood of any further action
being taken.
Senator Chandler made a statement
last night declaring that Commissioner
Brewer "prejudiced his case and con
ducted It in a partial mannor; that ho
showed great discourtesy to the com
plalnnnts and made it Impossible for
tho case to be fairly nnd fully pre
sented."
It Is understood that Senator Chan
dler will ask President McKlnley for
the removal of Commissioner Brewer
on these charges.
