FRIDAY, AUd. 12, 1010.
GAYNOR
OW
ON THE MEND
(Continued from Page One.)
Ralph Bloomer Jumped forward.
"Want nny help, Hill?" ho cried.
"Sure; sit on his hend," pan led the
big commissioner. "He's strong ns an
os."
Just then another shot sounded. Gnl
lather had twitched hla pistol hand
around under the grip Adamson hnd
put on It, and he flicked the trigger In
blind chance. The bullet tore through
the loft coat sleeve of Commissioner
Edwnrds, seared the biceps of that arm
In n long welt find burled Itself in the
bonrds of the deck twenty feet away.
Gnllaghcr cursed In broken breaths.
It was then that Corporation Coun
sel Watson took a hand. Gallagher
had wriggled part way free of Ed
wards' grip, and when Edwards caught
him In this act he heaved with his
shoulders nnd half threw, half pushed
the raving man on the deck beneath
him ngalnst tho lower Iron roll of the
dock bulwarks. Tho crack of his skull
against the Iron rail sounded hollowly.
Ills pistol hand dnngled for nn Instant
between the parallel Iron bars of the
bulwarks and Watson rushed In, step
ping with nil of his weight on Gal
lagher's right wrist, then bent over
nnd wrenched tho revolver from his
hand.
Somebody had cried for n policeman.
Commissioner Edwards grunted out a
command for some one to bring him
some handcuffs. Henry Gerdlng, a
special otllcer of the steamship com
pany, came running up tho deck to ar
rest Gallagher.
"I'm a deputy sheriff," wheezed Ed
wards, as he pushed Gallagher's face
to the deck with all his strength. "I'll
arrest him oil right If you've got any
handcuffs." Gerdlng pulled a pair of
little steel nippers out of his pocket
and handed them to Edwards.
"Say, Beven or eight of youse pile
off me, will you?" came the muffled
plaint of Gallagher from benoath the
smothering bulk of Edwards and the
'her football player, Bloomer. Ed
wards gave the man beneath him a
Vicious flip, then snapped tho hand
cuffs first on one wrist, then on tho
other. Even ns he did so Gallagher
tried to bite him, and he wagged his
hend from side to side snapping at
the ankles of the men nbout htm.
When the shot was fired Into his
neck Mayor Gayuor staggered slightly,
then straightened up with n visible
effort and tensed his Hps with pain.
Dr. Lederle, who happened to have his
hnndkerchtef In his hand, Jumped to
the mayor's side nnd wadded the hand
kerchief ugalnst the wound In the neck
blackened by the powder and spurting
blood. At the same time he mnde ns
if to put a supporting arm under the
mayor's shoulder, but Gaynor moved
the hand away.
Adamson, who had risen to his feet
when Edwnrds seemed to be hnvlng
Gallagher secure, ran to tho mayor's
side, the tears streaming from his eyes
under the spur of excitement.
"Who did It, Adamson? Who did
It?" asked tho mayor In a weak voice.
Adamson tried to nnswer that he
bad only caught a glimpse of the as
sailant and did not know. Still the
mayor stood, and Dr. I.ederlo kept the
handkerchief against tho wound. The
cloth was dyed red and the blood was
streaming over the mayor's collar.
"For God's sake, doctor:" It was
Watson who called hysterically. Led
erle tried to move Gaynor away from
the place where Edwnrds, Hloomernnd
half a dozen others were rolling nbout
the deck with the clawing, cursing
man who had llred the shot. Captnln
Polnck, who hnd heard the shot and
the babel of screams from the passen
gers, hurled his bulk through tho
crowd nnd ordered his sailors to clear
n space about tho mayor.
President Montt, who had Just
turned the corner of the deckhouse to
return to Gnynor's side, there to poso
with hi in for the photographers, called
In Spanish to one of his aids to fetch
Dr. Montanyn, the physician of the
Chilean party.
House Surgeon Sulllvnn of St. Mury's
hospital In discussing the case said
that If Gallagher's bullet had gone
half an Inch to the left It would hnve
severed the Jugular vein.
Gnllngher's sole reason for desiring
to slay Mayor Gaynor wus tho refusal
of the mayor to order him restored to
his position as dock watchman after
ho had been discharged for neglect of
duty and Insubordination.
After the shooting Gallagher mnde
tho following statement:
"My name is James J. Gallagher. I
am fifty years of age and live at No.
440 Third avenue, New York city. Was
born tn Ireland and was employed as
a watchman by the department of
docks and ferries In Manhattan until a
short time ago, when I was discharged.
I came to Hobokon at 0:20 o'clock this
morning and went direct to the steam
ship pier nnd on board tho steamship
Kaiser Wllhelm der Groeso. There I
met a clergymnn and asked htm to
point out Mayor Gaynor. no did bo,
and then I drow my revolver and flrod
nt the mayor. I do not know whether
uioro Uian ono shot was fired. Know
ing that Gaynor waB going to Europe
to enjoy himself after depriving me of
my bread and butter (I did not ask for
porterhouse steak) irritated me to do
tho act."
The would bo assassin bad been for
yean a Tummany hanger on.
President Taf t, Colonel Roosevelt and
Governor Hughes have wired mes
sages of sympathy to Mayor Gavnnr
Telegrams nro pouring In from all
parts of tho country,
John Purroy Mitchell, president ol
tho board of aldermen, will be nctlnp
mnyor during Mayor Gaynor's Illness.
In case of the Mayor's death he will

RUBE MARQUARD.
Manager McGraw Values
Giant Player at $11,000.
New York, Aug. 10. Discusslns
Mnrquard, McGraw of the Giants said
"I don't know whether he has been
worth $11,000 or not, but I would like
to see tho color of a man's hair who
could buy him from us for less."
The more fact that New York will
not sell Mnrquard despite the fact that
Frank Chance of Chicago nnd Clnrk
Grlfflth of the Reds want to buy him.
Is ample evidence that he Is still a val
uable asset.
FORD FIND OF SEASON.
Highlanders' Star Twirler One of Best
Developed In Recent Years.
Russell Ford, the pitching marcel ot
the New York Americans, Is the great
est find of the 1010 baseball season.
Ills good work In the box this season
has done much to keep the Highland-

ers so high up In the pennant race.
Ford has more than made himself solid
with the baseball fans and, unlike
most of the youngsters who break into
the big show, has done even bettei
work than the team's followers ex
pected. Many nice things were said
nbout Ford during the off season, br
few persons thought he would pitch
such spectacular ball when bo donned
tho spangles under the big tent.
Ford was with tho Highlanders foi
a few weeks in 1000, then was farmed
to Jersey City, and, though the Skee
tors finished Inst In tho race, bo won
half his games, striking out ISO men.
Russell's other minor league training
was gained with Cedar Rapids or the
Three Eyed league and Atlanta of the
Southern association. Ford Is tho only
8pltball expert In captivity who can
mnko the ball break three ways. All
tho players who have batted against
htm say ho has a most puzzling deliv
ery. Ford won fourteen out of tho first
nineteen games be pitched this season.

is easily moved and easily disinfect
ed, and can be changed so frequently
that It may be kept on clean ground,
free from disease. When a sow far

ciently warm.
Bulls and Breeding Records.
Many cattle breeders do not under
stand the almost vital Importance of
keeping the good, old bulls. A stal
lion that has a line of good colts Is
cherished as long as he Is able to
serve effectually, but most breeders
get rid of their bulls before their use
fulness Is known. Prof. Eugene Dav
enport, of the Illinois College of Agri
culture, said, not long ago:
"Wo must have some standard of
picking bulls beside the ordinary
standard of what will make a good an
imal on the block.
"Wo aro buying our youngsters
when they would make good baby
beef, breeding them for two or three
years, and selling them for bologna.
What Is It that goes to make up' the
valuable qualities of a bull to be used
for breeding? I hear a good deal
about the comparative merits of .pedi
gree and Individual excellence. A
few years ago they all said: 'If tho
pedigree is all right, the animal will
be all right,' and now we have a re
vision of feeling, nnd men say: 'I
want individual excellence anyway,
and then If you have a pedigree, throw
it in.' We all want a good animal
and we want one that Is bred right,
that has a good respectable pedigree,
but we want another thing, It seems
to me, and clearly so, before we are
satisfied that this is a bull to keep
in our herd, and that Is that we want
some kind of a breeding record of that
animal."
The Manure Spreader.
As soon as I get my manure spread
or I shall do as others do who own
spreaders, namely, spread on tho grass
land I intend to break up for next
year's potato crop, says a writer In
an eastern exchange. They apply It
right after the rush of spring's work
is ovor, so it will get thoroughly
worked Into the sod. Just after hay
ing tills sod Is turned over, with a
good green sward already started.
That Is the Ideal soil for potatoes.
Rations for Colts.
An experienced horseman has
found equal parts of corn and oats
grouwl together to be one of the
best grain rations for growing colts.
It furnishes elements needed for tho
production of fat, hone nnd muscle.
Adding bran or linseed meal to the
ration aids very much in keeping the
bowels regular and avoids constipa
tion, and In this way lessens the lia
bility of disease.
Keep the Barn Warm.
If the farmers of our country
would mako their stables so warm
that water would not freeze In them
tn an ordinarily cold night, one-third
more animals could be kept on tho
same feed as now used. Tar paper
and cheap lumber do not cost so much
as hay and grain to keep up animal
beat While paper and lumber cost
only ooco, feed costs every winter.
Raiting Sheep.
Dont let the children tease the
young ram. Tho boys think It great
fun to see him back off a little or
get ready to butt, but It may make
the animal vicious.
Raising goats for market Is a pro
fitable business If conducted wltheood
breeds. Scrubs don't pay.
In selling breeding stock, mak or
female, never lot big prices tempt
yon to let the top-notchers go. If you
do you will tn time not be able to pro
duce anything but second-rate ani
mals. If there are any runt pigs in the
bunch manage to give them extra
feed and care, and In a short Ume
they wlU match If not outstrip tht
others In gain. . u
DROWNING AT OQL'AGA IiAKE.
Chicago Editor Lost Life After'
Rescuing Daughter.
The papers printed Monday nn
nccountv of the drowning of .a Chi
cago jnnn hi Oquaga Lake, near De
posit, N. Y,, but his name was not
ascertained, it Is now learned the
drowned man was Walter Mlchnells, ,
40 yenrs old, editor of the Staats-i
Zeltung of Chlcngo and n man of '
great political Influence In German
circles In the 'city of Chlcngo. Af
ter bravely battling until assistance ;
arrived and succeeding In saving
his daughter, who hnd fallen over
board, he, thoroughly exhausted,
sank. I
Mr. Mlchaells arrived nt the i
"Laurels," the summer homo of his i
brother-in-law, Rev. E. Roth, of j
Brooklyn, N. Y two hours before
the accident, which occurred at 4.30 j
p. m. Mr. Mlchaells, accompanied j
by his eight-year-old daughter Clara, 1
was rowing about 200 feet from the
shore and about opposite "Idle- 1
home" when the child fell over
board. I
Mr. Mlchnells Immediately fol
lowed her Into the wnter and held
her head above wnter until Clark
Tohln, the prominent football expert
nnd member of the 1910 All-Amer-ienn
team, arrived In his canoe and
Baved the child. Then Mr. Mlch
nells sank. Tobln attempted to
save him by diving, but was unable
to do so.
Many parties dragged tho lake
until 7.30 o'clock, when the body
was recovered In over CO feet of
water.
Mr. Mlchaells leaves a wife and
child, who feel his death most
keenly. The body was sent to Chi
cago for burial.
2,000 Attended Cninpiticctlng.
More than 2,000 people from the
various cities and towns of north-1
eastern Pennsylvania were at Maple- 1
wood campmeetlng Sunday. The I
meeting this year Is the largest yet !
held In Maplewood and the visiting
crowds filled the mammoth tent to J
overflowing. Hundreds of wagons I
and horses were tied along the paths 1
and these Interspersed with a gen-
erous sprinkling of automobiles re
minded one of a fair day In a west
ern town. 1
The scene In the grove In the af- 1
ternoon when the hundreds of pret
ty girls In their white dresses ac-1
companied by their escorts prom-'
enaded along the splendid paths, ,
was more like a fashionable Paris j
parkway than a grove in a small
country town. The lake also was .
crowded with a great fleet of small
boats, all filled with a merry crew. I
Tht Ham Fair at Paris.
A feature of Parisian life Is the ham
fair whieci Is held on the Boulevard
Richard Le Nolr. The name of tula
fair is wholly misleading, for as far
as I have ever seen bams are the very
lost thing any one ever buys there.
Old brass and copper curios, quaint
Jewelry, rare china, lace, tapestries
and books aro what most people go
out to seek, and a sight not to bo easily
forgotten Is the long, wide boulevard
lined with ramshackle stalls laden
with every possible kind of lumber and
presided over by tho most rapacious
of brocanteurs. Out of piles of value
less lumber Americans and English
diligently seek for their pet kind of
curios, and there Is not an artist In
Paris who cannot point to somo bit
of furniture In bis or her studio and
say with pride, "I got that for 5 francs
at tho ham fair." No ono ever pays
more than C francs, I notice, but alas,
every year these five franc bargains
aro becoming more rare, nnd even ns
housekeeping In Paris grows more and
more costly so does the furnishing of
one's house to keep. London Queen.
Only a Question of Possibility.
Among the customers of a tea store
opened In tho northwest part of tho
city the other night was a man who,
tfter buying a pound of coffee, banded
a counterfeit half dollar to the shop
keeper. "This money Is counterfeit; I'm sor
ry, sir," said tho shopkeeper.
"Yes; I know It," replied tho cus
tomer, grinning. "Got It hero one day
last week, and I've been saving It for
yon." Then, noting the smllo upon
the shopkeeper's face, tho customer
said, evidently offended, "Perhaps you
doubt my word?"
"Oh, not at all, sir; not at alL I
couldn't doubt tho word of so truthful
a man. I was simply smiling because
I wondered how it was possible for
you to havo got the money here. This
place was opened only night before
last"
Thereupon the customer departed
hastily after producing a good coin
and slipping tho counterfeit into his
own pocket Philadelphia Times.
Japan't Qltnt Wrestler.
Japaneso wrestlers aro not to bo con
fused with Japaneso exponents of Jlu
jltau. Tho wrestlers belong to the
older school, tn which weight Is a par
amount quality. It Is a remarkable
thing that a race which Is on the ar
erago four or flvo Inches under tho Eu
ropean standard In point of height
should bare produced a special cult of
wrestlers who aro giants tn stature
and strength. The leading wrestlers
of Tokyo or Osaka or Qlogo are all
men at least six feet In height and
weighing perhaps 800 pounds. They
are a race apart Wrestling Is an oc
cupation which has been handed Uowa
from father to son for many genera
tions. And the explanation of their
prowess Is that they have always been
meat eaters, while tho rest of Japan,
either from choice or necessity, hare
been In tho main vegetarians.
MECHANICS' CAMP
(Continued From Pago One).
both 'confess thnt Honesdale is a'
beautiful plnce to visit or to live.
And If they were shy on tho sub
ject of the attractions of Wayne
county ns a place of residence or of
n knowledge of the companionable
qualities of Wayne county people,
Dr. Hngar would open their eyes for
them In a hurry.
Immediately on tho arrival of the
brigade camp the Third regiment,
comprising all Lacknwanna county
compnnles except the one from Tay
lor, were nsslgned to the right of
line and Lieut. Col. W. T. Jones of
Dunmore was put in command, with
MaJ. C. M. Haverly of Scranton bat
talion commander. After the men
were assigned quarters and had re
ceived their baggage, they immedi
ately began to prepare fo'r the night
and were soon In slumberland.
Saturday morning at 5.30, Just ns
the sun was peeping over the hills,
the brigade cannon barked forth and
everyone was soon on deck, ready
for mess. Immediately after mess,
guard mount was held, Gen. Rlskel
acting as leader of the field. The
guards were placed on their respec
tive posts and commenced their du
ties. All ofllcers nnd men were
then ordered to report to head
quarters and Camp Lieut. Colllgan
was offlclally opened by MaJ. John
H. Davidow, chief of staff, assisted
by the cannon, nnd "Old Glory" was
run up the pole to float on the
breeze.
After noon mess the entire bri
gade was formed In line and march
ed to the rifle range, where the
finishing touches were put on and
everything put In readiness for the
spirited contests to be held there
during the encampment.
The regimental markers, which
were presented by a friend of the
organization, were placed In position
by Lieut. Col. Jones, assisted by
Lieut. Frank Sawyer, and made a
very decided improvement In the ap
pearance of the regimental street.
Sunday afternoon the entire body,
accompanied by Alexander's brigade,
band, marched to the pavllllon at
the park and attended divine ser
vices, conducted by Rev. Mr. Burch
of the Waymart Methodist church,
who took his text from Romans and
preached a very interesting and in
structive sermon. He also welcom
ed the organization back and hoped
they would enjoy their stay In this
camp and come.
Alexander's band of Wilkes-Barre,
the official band of the First bri
gade of the Jr. O. U. A. M., Is In
camp and is one of the main attrac
tions. Gen. Rlskel Is to be con
gratulated on getting this very well
known and popular band as a part
of hU command. Every evening the
band gives concerts at headquart
res unless ordered otherwise.
Wednesday the Jr. O. U. A. M.
had their large excursion, all the
companies from Luzerne and Lack
awanna counties combining In the
effort to make It the great memor
able day for Lake Lodore. Band
Master Charles Rokorey Is with the
band and Is enjoying camp life Im
mensely. Tuesday, when the Shoemakers'
picnic came to the lake, 700 or 800
strong, the Mechnnlcs did every
thing they could think of the pro
mote the pleasure of the folks from
the Maple City. They showed them
their camp, they drilled their pretti
est for the delectation of their visi
tors, they mixed In, with the men
and women from the county seat
and they danced to their hearts'
content with the pretty girls and
there were scores and scores of
them that rode over to the lake
on tho noon special from Hones
dale. Then there were Waymart
girls and Prompton girls, with a
sprinkling of Carbondale girls and
girls from towns over In the valley,
and the light fantastic toe was
tripped until late that afternoon un
der conditions that were as perfect
weatherwlse as an Ideal AugUBt day
at Lake Lodore could make them.
The Wayne county girls voted the
Lackawanna and Luzerne soldier
boys all right. They are.

Tho rain Wednesday knocked out
tho five-mile march to Waymart and
tho band concert slated for that
night on tho square, but the march
and the concert may be pulled off
tonight. Wednesday, was supposed
to bo visiting day and tho rain,
quite naturally, disappointed hun
dreds thnt hnd planned for an out
ing, but tho rain was needed nnd tho
good time could, on a pinch, be put
over 24 hours and mako out all the
better for the postponement.
"Thnt rain," said Gen. Rlskel,"
was needed n great deal more than
visiting day."
Capt. Griffiths, who was one of
Col, Roosevelt's Rough Riders 12
years ago about this time, Is a
splendid rider and the finest kind
of a drlllmaster. He has helped
Gen. Rlskel put some class Into the
cavnlry. The captain does not al
ways get the most desirable kind ot
a mount, but he's nt home on any
horse. Ho came in Wednesday on
a dilapidated steed that the boys
all made sport of, but he handled
that Eeen-better-days horse as
though Capt. Griffiths had been
a-straddle the finest Kentucky
thoroughbred from the Blue Grass
locality.
However, not oven the rainstorm
of Wednesday could keep the Jun
iors' friends away. Two big Dela
ware and Hudson trains brought in
nearly 2,000 Lackawanna and Lu
zerne county women and children,
who braved the elements and paid
a visit to the boys In their tented
homes. Numbers of them brought
along large lunch baskets, brimful
of good things to eat and drink.
Many a soldier's tent was the scene
of n feast. Those who did not pro
vide themselves with lunches were
fed In the regimental mess tents.
It was a novelty to some, and favor
able comment could be heard on all
sides about the food served to the
men. As a rule, people Imagine
soldiers are fed on smoked pork,
cabbage and hard-tack, but this Il
lusion was dispelled, as the food In
camp Is plentiful and wholesome,
though necessarily plain. Even des
sert Is served at dinner.
Gen. Rlskel Is entertaining his
mother at brigade headquarters. A
number of Scranton and Wilkes
Barre friends were also entertained
at headquarters Wednesday In the
rain.
Several mock trials are being ar
ranged, and as there is an unusual
array of Scranton legal talent In
camp, great fun will prevail.
The sutler's tent Is stocked un
usually well, and one can get any
thing there from a toothpick to a
monkey wrench.
The trophies for which the men
will compete at the rifle range are
on exhibition in front of Adj.Dando's
tent.
