In making a try to cateh the floating headpiece, the operator *»f t)i«- ear pulled too hard on tin* steering gear. This caused the car to swerve sharply to the right and the girder of the bridge being crescent shaped and presenting a gradual Inc lude the automobile never stopped until it landed high and dry almost at the apex of the girder.

Fortunately for the two men in the car the machine followed the girder for had it tumbled off to the right walle going at full speed both oc upants and the car would have been precipitated Into Mahoning creek. A crowd soon gathered and with plenty of assistance the machine was slid back down the girder to the street.

FIRE II BALTIMORE PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 8.—Following the conference between Attorney General M. Hampton Todd and James Scarlet, cousel for the legislative probers, it was announced yesterday that the Capitol graft report would be placed in the hands qt. Governor Stuart some time next week. I After the report has been made the | probers may take some additional tesj timony to clear up certain points ! which, the Attorney General believes, will make criminal and civil prosecutions more easy. It was also settled that Attorney James Scarlet and Assistant Attorney General Cuunlnghain shall have charge of the criminal prosecutions and that the work of preparing Indictments will begin at once. Attorney General Todd is said to have expressed the opinion that there is sufficient evidence In hand to warrant the criminal indictment of eight or perhaps nine persons whose names have figured In the Capitol testimony. These include Architect Joseph Huston Contractor Sanderson, at least two other contractors and several officials who passed on the contracts and paid j out money. The work of preparing for the prosecutions will be begun just as sooh as the evidence is turned over to the Attorney General by the Governor. It was learned yesterday that Architect Huston has been in the city within the last few days. In fact, it was stated that during the last month Huston has been In the city at least three times. During these visits he has met members of his family, business associates and his counsel, Samuel M. Clement, Jr. Mr. Clement declined to discuss the whereabouts of his client, but did not dny that Huston h&d been In the city within the last few days. Those who have seen the architect declare that he Is visibly affected by the strain and that many of his acquaintances would scarcely know him If they saw him. The Attorney General and the attorney for the probers were In conference the greater part of yesterday. They first spent several hours at Mr. Todd's offices in the Franklin building. Assistant Attorney General Cunningham also took part In the pow-wow. Later the lawyers adjourned to the Union League, where they finished their discussion at luncheon. Mr. Scarlet and Secretary Calvert left for Beach Haven on. a tale afternoon train to resume their sessions with the legislators. It is understood that these main points were settled by the talk: That the report be rushed through and placed In Governor Stuart's hands not later than next week That the report will not specifically name the persona to be prosecuted or lay down the offenses for which prosecutions be made. Instead the document will summarize the findings and recommend prosecutions, leaving it to the Attorney General to decMe who shall be arrested, and what line of acnon shall be prusuM. Continued on Third Page. That the probers hold themselves in readiness to tafce some further testimony should the Attorney General decide that It will aid his case. IILLEDII Ml Befririning at a point in Mahoning creek,. below the Pennsylvania railroad bridge, construct a main sewer diagonally to the western extremity of the alley running east and west between Mahoning street and Pine street, a distance of about 1,200 feet; follow said alley from its western extremity at or near the old Clayvtlle and Punxsutawney borough line east to the rear of Bair's store, Weber store, Punxsutawney Hardware Co. building .etc., to North Jefferson Street; north on North Jefferson street to Farmers alley, east on Farmers alley to Front street, a distance of about 3,100 feet, making the total length of the sewer from the creek to Front street about 4,300 feet. The plans provide for a brick cased sewr, four feet in diameter for the first 1,200 feet, beginning at Mahoning creek and extending to the alley, and for a tile sewer three feet In dltipeter the balance of the dls- The advocates* of this plan claim by constructing 11 >ower of this Wk 'M location, all'of Punxsutawney and Middletown north of Mahoning Street and Mahoning creek, from the ittftper Iron bridge east can be given pcrtnaneht relief as regards s^wer- With thle large main sewer to attach to auxiliary sSwers of adequate able could be constructed to It from all other parts of town north of Mahoning street. For Instance, the Flnd- Jey street sewer, which Is now only t5 Inches In diameter and which has been giving the moat trouble, could be enlarged and graded bo that Its contents would And a reftdy exit through the main sewer. It Is also shown that by lowering their culvert at the railroad bridge that spans Mahoning Street, near the Iron works, the B.. R. & P. Railroad Co. could drain "the water and elmlnate the swamps both north and south of the railroad, while the sections of Punx- BUtawney on both sides of the right of way as well as Mlddletown, could be given ample sewerage facilities. From grades already established It Is aicertalned that the proposed main sewer would have a fall of eight feet from Front street to the point of junction with Mahoning Creek and at the latter point be 12 feet below the surface. The members of the committee will perfect their plans and submit figures as to distances and cost at the meeting of the council next Tuesday night. If the plan outlined by a majority of the committee that was appointed by the town council Monday night to investigate the sewer question in Punxsutawney, especially with regard to North Ftndley street, is adopted, that troublesome problem will soon come up for something like a permanent solution. After going over the situation at length yesterday the majority of the committee decided to rec» ommend the following plan at the meeting of the council next Monday night. WHO GETTING POORER?

FIRE II BALTIMORE PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 8.—Following the conference between Attorney General M. Hampton Todd and James Scarlet, cousel for the legislative probers, it was announced yesterday that the Capitol graft report would be placed in the hands qt. Governor Stuart some time next week. I After the report has been made the | probers may take some additional tesj timony to clear up certain points ! which, the Attorney General believes, will make criminal and civil prosecutions more easy. It was also settled that Attorney James Scarlet and Assistant Attorney General Cuunlnghain shall have charge of the criminal prosecutions and that the work of preparing Indictments will begin at once. Attorney General Todd is said to have expressed the opinion that there is sufficient evidence In hand to warrant the criminal indictment of eight or perhaps nine persons whose names have figured In the Capitol testimony. These include Architect Joseph Huston Contractor Sanderson, at least two other contractors and several officials who passed on the contracts and paid j out money. The work of preparing for the prosecutions will be begun just as sooh as the evidence is turned over to the Attorney General by the Governor. It was learned yesterday that Architect Huston has been in the city within the last few days. In fact, it was stated that during the last month Huston has been In the city at least three times. During these visits he has met members of his family, business associates and his counsel, Samuel M. Clement, Jr. Mr. Clement declined to discuss the whereabouts of his client, but did not dny that Huston h&d been In the city within the last few days. Those who have seen the architect declare that he Is visibly affected by the strain and that many of his acquaintances would scarcely know him If they saw him. The Attorney General and the attorney for the probers were In conference the greater part of yesterday. They first spent several hours at Mr. Todd's offices in the Franklin building. Assistant Attorney General Cunningham also took part In the pow-wow. Later the lawyers adjourned to the Union League, where they finished their discussion at luncheon. Mr. Scarlet and Secretary Calvert left for Beach Haven on. a tale afternoon train to resume their sessions with the legislators. It is understood that these main points were settled by the talk: That the report be rushed through and placed In Governor Stuart's hands not later than next week That the report will not specifically name the persona to be prosecuted or lay down the offenses for which prosecutions be made. Instead the document will summarize the findings and recommend prosecutions, leaving it to the Attorney General to decMe who shall be arrested, and what line of acnon shall be prusuM. Continued on Third Page. That the probers hold themselves in readiness to tafce some further testimony should the Attorney General decide that It will aid his case. IILLEDII Ml Befririning at a point in Mahoning creek,. below the Pennsylvania railroad bridge, construct a main sewer diagonally to the western extremity of the alley running east and west between Mahoning street and Pine street, a distance of about 1,200 feet; follow said alley from its western extremity at or near the old Clayvtlle and Punxsutawney borough line east to the rear of Bair's store, Weber store, Punxsutawney Hardware Co. building .etc., to North Jefferson Street; north on North Jefferson street to Farmers alley, east on Farmers alley to Front street, a distance of about 3,100 feet, making the total length of the sewer from the creek to Front street about 4,300 feet. The plans provide for a brick cased sewr, four feet in diameter for the first 1,200 feet, beginning at Mahoning creek and extending to the alley, and for a tile sewer three feet In dltipeter the balance of the dls- The advocates* of this plan claim by constructing 11 >ower of this Wk 'M location, all'of Punxsutawney and Middletown north of Mahoning Street and Mahoning creek, from the ittftper Iron bridge east can be given pcrtnaneht relief as regards s^wer- With thle large main sewer to attach to auxiliary sSwers of adequate able could be constructed to It from all other parts of town north of Mahoning street. For Instance, the Flnd- Jey street sewer, which Is now only t5 Inches In diameter and which has been giving the moat trouble, could be enlarged and graded bo that Its contents would And a reftdy exit through the main sewer. It Is also shown that by lowering their culvert at the railroad bridge that spans Mahoning Street, near the Iron works, the B.. R. & P. Railroad Co. could drain "the water and elmlnate the swamps both north and south of the railroad, while the sections of Punx- BUtawney on both sides of the right of way as well as Mlddletown, could be given ample sewerage facilities. From grades already established It Is aicertalned that the proposed main sewer would have a fall of eight feet from Front street to the point of junction with Mahoning Creek and at the latter point be 12 feet below the surface. The members of the committee will perfect their plans and submit figures as to distances and cost at the meeting of the council next Tuesday night. If the plan outlined by a majority of the committee that was appointed by the town council Monday night to investigate the sewer question in Punxsutawney, especially with regard to North Ftndley street, is adopted, that troublesome problem will soon come up for something like a permanent solution. After going over the situation at length yesterday the majority of the committee decided to rec» ommend the following plan at the meeting of the council next Monday night. WHO GETTING POORER?
