Hence, our friends who only occasionally have an opportunity to favor us with c rrespondenee should either I -rcw trn us of the event, so that we may make arrangements to get the news or telephone us about it immediately. The Spirit today received two communications, each descriptive of a family reunion that had taken place about two weeks ago. As persons who were not there could not be expected to take much interest in th« doings, and as those who w< re present have perhaps forgotten all about it except the personal equation, it would not be just to our readers to occupy space with them now. Communication of Age Cannot Hope lo Get in Columns of Daily Newspaper. Friends who live at a distance, but within telephone reach, can have the doings of any day chronicled on the day following, if not the same day, by calling up the office. JORDAN'S RESIDENCE EIRE OEMS SCOTT SUTTON INVESTIGATION BECOMES SENSATIONAL County town, Mr. Wilson states that then were 280 horses, representing 14 states and Canada, at Corry last week, and that their celebration, although not to be compared with that outlined fur I'unxsutawney, brought uut the greates' erowds ever seen in the bustling Erie J1 of ore the horses gut under way for the initial contest, hmvevcr, another rainstnrm eanie up and it was all off for that day. "Open the gate.1* and allow the automobiles on the track, and see what haonens." hi- suggested. The president of the association acquiesced and the owners of tin- buzz wagons responded to the man and. in half an hour the muddy course was transformed into a dry, resilient track. The broad tires of the autos beat down the surface and the breezes dried up the water so that by 2:30 the racing bill wa.s announced to take place. J. West Wilson, of this plaee, who attended, the Old Home Week celebration at C'orry, Pa., last week, returned home yesterday. Following the rain storm that kepi up Wednesday forenoon, the directors of the racing association at '1 o'clock that day had decided to call the races off, when Mr. Wilson came forward with his plan. Mr. Wilson, besides having officiated as president judge of the horse races during the week, incidentally discovered a new function for automobiles.

The Republicans stuck to their original lineup throughout the game, but the Democrats wore themselves out making ten runs In the second and after that substitutes were called upon with ever increasing frequency and the batting order was shifted every inning. The Associated Press reported the game thusly: In the rush of more pressing matters the Spirit on Saturday was unable to chronicle the game of ball that on Friday was played at Washington, 1 >. between teams representing the solons of both parties in the House. Meanwhile .friends of the* strikers are also active. Financial aid is reported to have been tendered them by local socialists and by a number of labor organizations in the Pittsburg district. "There will be no compromise," said he. "The plant of the c ompany may remain idle a week or it may remain idle a year, but in the end it will be going full blast and on its own terms. I do not intend to force a crisis. I have every confidence in the outcome and do not anticipate trouble of any kind." President F. U. Uuffstot, uf the Pressed Steel Car Company, perseveres in his determination not to give way to the demands of Hie strikers and in as defiant today itv? iwV tin* first .day of the strike. The employers make nu secret uf the fact that they will dispute the court's jurisdiction in the matter and oppose the issuanee uf any injunction preventing them fruin permanently discharging the first (500 men whu tlrst walked out of their shops and precipitated the strike. The right of the court to prohibit the importation of strikebreakers will also be challenged. It is loudly proclaimed in labor circles that in the event of the court#deelining to pass on the merits of the dispute the men now holding the strikers in check will find it impossible to longer exert this restraining influence and that riot and bloodshed will again prevail. Judges Thomas J. Ford, and Marshall Brown, of the court of common pleas, have set this afternoon as the time for the hearing on the application of the public defense association for a double injunction restraining both strikers and employes from acts calculated to aggravate or prolong tinstrike, and on the decision rendered at that time will depend the future of the conflict. PITTSBUng. July 20.—'Three hundred additional workmen of the striking employes of the Pressed Steel Car Company went to work this morning, including 50 workers* who wore wiring the new Hudson Itiver tunnel cars. It is said there arc only six more ears to wire. The largest meeting yet held by the strikers was held this morning and a permanent organization made. On account of some of the deputies being short of cash Sheriff C.umbert last night gave each man $f» to tide them over until warrants for their work have been drawn. 3 MINUTES FROM BROADWAY rouNGiowiSHir teachers in or dor to pay out the $14,220,- 765.65, which has been disbursed through the State Treasury since the fiscal year beg in, the Auditor General's Department has had to draw more than 5.000 warrants on the State Treasury Department, in addition to countersigning warrants drawn by Adjutant General Stewart, Superintendent of Public Instruction .Vha< |- fer ad Highway Commissioner Hunter. As against the total receipts for the fiscal year up to the close of business yesterday the State has paid out up to date a total of $ 1 4„22Q.,.7J|BV§5,. Ol' the total receipt for the year of $.15,968,- 141.71, the first half of July which has just elapsed has brought in $2,405,220- .f:7. Should the same rate be maintained for the remainder of the month July alone will have brought to the State about twenty-five per cent, of the entire sum collected during that part of the fiscal year whic i will have elapsed by August 1. The State's balance at the close of business for the past week was $11, 287,9 80.72; of this sum the general fund contained $8,621,601.21, and the sinking fund held $2,666,379.51. —the largest excess during the current fiscal year. The past week has been a recordbreaker in the nv.itter of a daily exess, and last Monday Me daily balance showed that the excess j>ver the wiiin' day last year was $2,786,851.52 With total receipts for the s -ven \ind one-half months • >! the fiscal year which began December I last, amounting to $1 5,968,1 4 1.V 1 credited lo the department at the (dose of ! nsim ss for the week just elide 1, Auditor General Young shows an excess in total receipts over the same day in 1908 of $2,537,306.75. according to a statement issued yesterday by ihi' treasury officials, never was in better shape than at pr sent. .h being discusser] here ho past few days, and getting- ui» a petition o boost 'he project. but this town would h greater impetus by ns on a trunk line of le were to built it w »ukl Isome now station for matter of building from the Allegheny River above Kfttanning to Purfaxsutawney, would not involve any heafyy engineering, as the grade up Cow anshannoek Creek . is slight It is sa id that a line to conect with the Fort Wayne at some point ?n Ohio has toeen suroyed to the Al.egheny Hiver,. thus completing a trunk line plan from whatever point thai may be to Tipton, ()n the main line in the Allj?ghenies. The proposed new line from Tipton to Coalport has already been surveyed, and, although it wquld entail a big expense it would offer a grade that would be an enormous advantage over the Punxsutawney & Bellwood division or the main line grades via Al'(oona and Johnstown. The proposed line from the mouth of Cowanshannock ('reek to this plaeo, according to reports, would constitute a section of a trunk line from east to west, which would leave Pittsburg out of the schedule and would entail the rebuilding of the Punxsutawney and Bellwood division to Coalport, mil a new line from the latter point to tile main line at Tipton, near Tyrone. The reports that sprung up here following the visit of the Pennsy's representatives are to the effect that the company is to build a new line from a point three miles north of lCittalining, up Cowanshannock Creek, via Yatesboro and Plumville or Dayton to Punxsutawney, and from this place f< Falls Creek, where it would connect with, the Ridgway & Clearfield, a branch of the P. \<1. Such a line would give the p. R. R. j, low grade line from Pittsburg to Buffalo and lower lake points, and would shorten the distance fnm Kittanning to Falls Creek, as compared with the Low! Grade, up Red Baltic Creek, 27 miles. During the past week a couple of men representing the Pennsylvania Railroad Company have been investigating matters in this section to such an extent that a well-defined rumor has been set afloat to the effect that the company is planning a new section of road that will give it another through line from West to Kast, a more direct line from this section to the lakes, and incidentally place Punxsutawney on a trunk line of the Pennsylvania. LOST FIRST GAME WltHallT MARKS TWO FLKillTK, With nervous demeanor, momentarily confused at times, and yet almost defiant under the severe cross-examination of Henry E. Davis, counsel for Mrs. Sutton, the young officer sat facing Sutton's mother and sister during his examination. His brother officers, Lieutenants Bevan and Ostcrman, flanked by Adams' two lawyers, sat farther down the inquirty table. Major Henry Leonard, U. S. M. <\, the judge advocate, and tin* three members of the board, completed the impressive sitting. At one point In his testimony Lieut. Adams and an orderly enacted the struggle with Sutton in the court room. The witness chair was removed and ihey obth lay prone upon the floor. ANNAPOLIS, Aid. July 20.— The opening session here yesterday of the contr uf inquiry which is conducting a second investigation into the death uf Lieut. James N'uttle Sutton, of the United States Marine Corps, was replete with dramatic situations. Lieut. Robert F. Adams, of Harrlsburg, Pa.. Sutton's former classmate at the Academy, and one of the principal aetrosin the midnight tight which cost young Sutton his life nearly two years agu, occupied the witness stand during fhe entire session, and told a graphic story uf the incidents leading up tu Sutton's death. She tin Caldwell yesterday direr .d a search of the foreign section for strangers who are said to he emissaries from tile Me Keen Mocks strikers. All barrooms in the Butler district are closed. The grievances of the strikers, that they do not get enough to live on, is aggravated b* the unwillingness, heretofore, of the car company to treat with them in Yesterday af ernoon a protest to (rov. Iv S. Stuart against the calllt*? out of the troopers and a request that, they be recalled was forwarded by mail to the Oovernor. it contained nearly 2.000 signatures, and was prepared at the instance of the Rev. F. Baczewski, pastor of the polish Catholic Church! The signers are largely strikers and unnaturalized citizens. The proceedings will be the same as that started by the Public Defense \ssociation in the Pressed Steel Car Works strike at McKces Rocks. A movement was started yesterday afternoon to organize a taxpayers' league to file a bill in equity against the ear company i«» determine the rights of the people. The hearings of the arrested strikers, scheduled for late yesterday, were postponed on the motion of the district attorney, agreed to by Attorney Wise, appearing for the men. The striking men say they will repax the State troopers for the death of one of their number, but it is thought the authorities have the situation too well in hand to allow tho strikers to gain tile upper hand again. What effect the death of the wounded striker, shot Sunday afternoon, will havi upon the workingmen is problematical. It is not thought that he will survive much longer. Tin decision to proceed in tho strike bv peaceful methods was reached yesterday, after the striking men had beep refused permission to hold a mass meeting. For a time, after the men had been curtly told by the mounted troopers of the constabulary that, no meeting would be t.derated, it looked like serious trouble was imminent. Attorney Levi M. Wise and Father Baczewski, a Catholic priest, however, prevented a vrisis. homes this morning, while about lift.v rleann entered tho works Despit, this, however, it is not unlikely that by late this afternoon the strike ttill be declared off, an a conciliatory spirit Is being manifested on both (tides. any way HIM FROM DEATH THINKS PRAYER SAVED More different kinds <»f I>:is• • 1»;111 was played in that g:imc than ever were crowd oil into Hcvcn innings before. President Taft did not attend lbwas at Chevy Chase with Vice President Sherman playing golf. The crowd which witnessed this game which will live long in the annals of the House, was equally weary from laughter. The throng included most of the distinguished government officials, and they barely had time to reach their homes from the hall park when the heaviest thunder storm "f the summer broke over the city and all of Washington was swept by a miniature flood.

NICVV YORK, July 20. —"Only three minutes from Broadway!" was the sentence heard on every hand in Jersey City after the first train to plunge under the waters of the North ltiv< had whirred its way through the hi* Mi be from ('ortiandt and Church Streets to Exchange Place on the Jersey .side in exactly two minutes and thirty seconds. There was no doubt that the train, guided by the practiced hand of Chief Motorman Winkley, could have made the trip in less time; but all that was necessary was to prove t«> Jerseyites that the promise of a three-minute journey was no idle dream and that Jersey City and Manhattan were as firmly welded together by the twin tubes as if no mile-wide river had ever separated them. Timor shoots officer During both of the trials the machine behaved splendidly and indications arc that the Wrights will soon have the aeroplane in condition for the official flig-hts. The first flight lasted for twentyfive minutes and eighteen seconds, during which time the aviator circled the parade 'grounds, a distance of about five-sixths of a mile, 2f» 1-2 times. The second, which continued until darkness compelled Mr. Wright from remaining longer in the air, was for half an hour's duration, and 2!> 1-2 circuits were made. sell' and His Macihnc.

The furniture was mostly burned or badly damaged. The firemen suggest that people should be prompt in turning an alarm of tire into the central telephone offices, who will report them to the department at once. The house, which is practically a total loss, was insured for $1,000, and the furniture for $500, both risks being held by the Fink & Mitchell agency. The house and furniture were valued at about $2,500 and the dwelling had only recently been repainted. Some of the Jordan family had. arisen when a neighbor gave the alarm, but they were unable to state whether the blaze originated from a spark or a defective flue. Mr. Jordan, who has not been well, was reeuperatig at the home of his brother, John Jordan, who lives near Trade City. Thad Jeffries and Thomas Postlcwaite, teamsters for the brewery company had headed a delegation of citizens who removed all of the furniture from the lower apartments, but nothing was saved from above, so that when the 11 rem en got on the scene they had a big blaze to squelch. At that, they could have saved a good part of the building had the water pressure been adequate. Realizing that something was amiss, the firemen telephoned to the power house. In about 15 minutes the pressure came on so that a stream could be thrown into the second story window, but it only stayed up a short time, and before the blaze was entirely under control, the pressure had run down. morning in answer to an alarm which was sent in from the foot of Sauerkraut Hill, back of the Punxsutawney Brewery, where the home of Scott Jordan was ablaze. The hose wagon being at the shop for repairs the fireman rode over in a Conklln wagon and made a coupling in front of William Campbell's, the plug nearest the Jordan home. The firemen found it necessary to string 1,200 feet of hose, which took them over, .two streets, across the P. R. R. line and up an embankment 100 feet from the level of the railroad tracks. By the time they got ready for action the upper part of the building was all ablaze. The Punxsutawney Fire Department was called out at about 5:30 this ADVERTISED LETTERS.

The McKimites did, but three triple-sackers that came later, as the result of smashes by Sheldon, Goheen and Bender, along with other stunts, such as the double that retired the redoubtable Don at lirst and Mulholland at the home plate, served to reduce the clrcumlocutoriousness of the sons of Pitt. lepCIHlciltM .\<l<| AllOtllto Their Colloc Hon. the strenuous pilot of ms, yesterday afternoon est aggregation of basere from Brackldck and a swale of walops ne- Gleckler's victorious score being 7 to 5.

Hence, our friends who only occasionally have an opportunity to favor us with c rrespondenee should either I -rcw trn us of the event, so that we may make arrangements to get the news or telephone us about it immediately. The Spirit today received two communications, each descriptive of a family reunion that had taken place about two weeks ago. As persons who were not there could not be expected to take much interest in th« doings, and as those who w< re present have perhaps forgotten all about it except the personal equation, it would not be just to our readers to occupy space with them now. Communication of Age Cannot Hope lo Get in Columns of Daily Newspaper. Friends who live at a distance, but within telephone reach, can have the doings of any day chronicled on the day following, if not the same day, by calling up the office. JORDAN'S RESIDENCE EIRE OEMS SCOTT SUTTON INVESTIGATION BECOMES SENSATIONAL County town, Mr. Wilson states that then were 280 horses, representing 14 states and Canada, at Corry last week, and that their celebration, although not to be compared with that outlined fur I'unxsutawney, brought uut the greates' erowds ever seen in the bustling Erie J1 of ore the horses gut under way for the initial contest, hmvevcr, another rainstnrm eanie up and it was all off for that day. "Open the gate.1* and allow the automobiles on the track, and see what haonens." hi- suggested. The president of the association acquiesced and the owners of tin- buzz wagons responded to the man and. in half an hour the muddy course was transformed into a dry, resilient track. The broad tires of the autos beat down the surface and the breezes dried up the water so that by 2:30 the racing bill wa.s announced to take place. J. West Wilson, of this plaee, who attended, the Old Home Week celebration at C'orry, Pa., last week, returned home yesterday. Following the rain storm that kepi up Wednesday forenoon, the directors of the racing association at '1 o'clock that day had decided to call the races off, when Mr. Wilson came forward with his plan. Mr. Wilson, besides having officiated as president judge of the horse races during the week, incidentally discovered a new function for automobiles.

The Republicans stuck to their original lineup throughout the game, but the Democrats wore themselves out making ten runs In the second and after that substitutes were called upon with ever increasing frequency and the batting order was shifted every inning. The Associated Press reported the game thusly: In the rush of more pressing matters the Spirit on Saturday was unable to chronicle the game of ball that on Friday was played at Washington, 1 >. between teams representing the solons of both parties in the House. Meanwhile .friends of the* strikers are also active. Financial aid is reported to have been tendered them by local socialists and by a number of labor organizations in the Pittsburg district. "There will be no compromise," said he. "The plant of the c ompany may remain idle a week or it may remain idle a year, but in the end it will be going full blast and on its own terms. I do not intend to force a crisis. I have every confidence in the outcome and do not anticipate trouble of any kind." President F. U. Uuffstot, uf the Pressed Steel Car Company, perseveres in his determination not to give way to the demands of Hie strikers and in as defiant today itv? iwV tin* first .day of the strike. The employers make nu secret uf the fact that they will dispute the court's jurisdiction in the matter and oppose the issuanee uf any injunction preventing them fruin permanently discharging the first (500 men whu tlrst walked out of their shops and precipitated the strike. The right of the court to prohibit the importation of strikebreakers will also be challenged. It is loudly proclaimed in labor circles that in the event of the court#deelining to pass on the merits of the dispute the men now holding the strikers in check will find it impossible to longer exert this restraining influence and that riot and bloodshed will again prevail. Judges Thomas J. Ford, and Marshall Brown, of the court of common pleas, have set this afternoon as the time for the hearing on the application of the public defense association for a double injunction restraining both strikers and employes from acts calculated to aggravate or prolong tinstrike, and on the decision rendered at that time will depend the future of the conflict. PITTSBUng. July 20.—'Three hundred additional workmen of the striking employes of the Pressed Steel Car Company went to work this morning, including 50 workers* who wore wiring the new Hudson Itiver tunnel cars. It is said there arc only six more ears to wire. The largest meeting yet held by the strikers was held this morning and a permanent organization made. On account of some of the deputies being short of cash Sheriff C.umbert last night gave each man $f» to tide them over until warrants for their work have been drawn. 3 MINUTES FROM BROADWAY rouNGiowiSHir teachers in or dor to pay out the $14,220,- 765.65, which has been disbursed through the State Treasury since the fiscal year beg in, the Auditor General's Department has had to draw more than 5.000 warrants on the State Treasury Department, in addition to countersigning warrants drawn by Adjutant General Stewart, Superintendent of Public Instruction .Vha< |- fer ad Highway Commissioner Hunter. As against the total receipts for the fiscal year up to the close of business yesterday the State has paid out up to date a total of $ 1 4„22Q.,.7J|BV§5,. Ol' the total receipt for the year of $.15,968,- 141.71, the first half of July which has just elapsed has brought in $2,405,220- .f:7. Should the same rate be maintained for the remainder of the month July alone will have brought to the State about twenty-five per cent, of the entire sum collected during that part of the fiscal year whic i will have elapsed by August 1. The State's balance at the close of business for the past week was $11, 287,9 80.72; of this sum the general fund contained $8,621,601.21, and the sinking fund held $2,666,379.51. —the largest excess during the current fiscal year. The past week has been a recordbreaker in the nv.itter of a daily exess, and last Monday Me daily balance showed that the excess j>ver the wiiin' day last year was $2,786,851.52 With total receipts for the s -ven \ind one-half months • >! the fiscal year which began December I last, amounting to $1 5,968,1 4 1.V 1 credited lo the department at the (dose of ! nsim ss for the week just elide 1, Auditor General Young shows an excess in total receipts over the same day in 1908 of $2,537,306.75. according to a statement issued yesterday by ihi' treasury officials, never was in better shape than at pr sent. .h being discusser] here ho past few days, and getting- ui» a petition o boost 'he project. but this town would h greater impetus by ns on a trunk line of le were to built it w »ukl Isome now station for matter of building from the Allegheny River above Kfttanning to Purfaxsutawney, would not involve any heafyy engineering, as the grade up Cow anshannoek Creek . is slight It is sa id that a line to conect with the Fort Wayne at some point ?n Ohio has toeen suroyed to the Al.egheny Hiver,. thus completing a trunk line plan from whatever point thai may be to Tipton, ()n the main line in the Allj?ghenies. The proposed new line from Tipton to Coalport has already been surveyed, and, although it wquld entail a big expense it would offer a grade that would be an enormous advantage over the Punxsutawney & Bellwood division or the main line grades via Al'(oona and Johnstown. The proposed line from the mouth of Cowanshannock ('reek to this plaeo, according to reports, would constitute a section of a trunk line from east to west, which would leave Pittsburg out of the schedule and would entail the rebuilding of the Punxsutawney and Bellwood division to Coalport, mil a new line from the latter point to tile main line at Tipton, near Tyrone. The reports that sprung up here following the visit of the Pennsy's representatives are to the effect that the company is to build a new line from a point three miles north of lCittalining, up Cowanshannock Creek, via Yatesboro and Plumville or Dayton to Punxsutawney, and from this place f< Falls Creek, where it would connect with, the Ridgway & Clearfield, a branch of the P. \<1. Such a line would give the p. R. R. j, low grade line from Pittsburg to Buffalo and lower lake points, and would shorten the distance fnm Kittanning to Falls Creek, as compared with the Low! Grade, up Red Baltic Creek, 27 miles. During the past week a couple of men representing the Pennsylvania Railroad Company have been investigating matters in this section to such an extent that a well-defined rumor has been set afloat to the effect that the company is planning a new section of road that will give it another through line from West to Kast, a more direct line from this section to the lakes, and incidentally place Punxsutawney on a trunk line of the Pennsylvania. LOST FIRST GAME WltHallT MARKS TWO FLKillTK, With nervous demeanor, momentarily confused at times, and yet almost defiant under the severe cross-examination of Henry E. Davis, counsel for Mrs. Sutton, the young officer sat facing Sutton's mother and sister during his examination. His brother officers, Lieutenants Bevan and Ostcrman, flanked by Adams' two lawyers, sat farther down the inquirty table. Major Henry Leonard, U. S. M. <\, the judge advocate, and tin* three members of the board, completed the impressive sitting. At one point In his testimony Lieut. Adams and an orderly enacted the struggle with Sutton in the court room. The witness chair was removed and ihey obth lay prone upon the floor. ANNAPOLIS, Aid. July 20.— The opening session here yesterday of the contr uf inquiry which is conducting a second investigation into the death uf Lieut. James N'uttle Sutton, of the United States Marine Corps, was replete with dramatic situations. Lieut. Robert F. Adams, of Harrlsburg, Pa.. Sutton's former classmate at the Academy, and one of the principal aetrosin the midnight tight which cost young Sutton his life nearly two years agu, occupied the witness stand during fhe entire session, and told a graphic story uf the incidents leading up tu Sutton's death. She tin Caldwell yesterday direr .d a search of the foreign section for strangers who are said to he emissaries from tile Me Keen Mocks strikers. All barrooms in the Butler district are closed. The grievances of the strikers, that they do not get enough to live on, is aggravated b* the unwillingness, heretofore, of the car company to treat with them in Yesterday af ernoon a protest to (rov. Iv S. Stuart against the calllt*? out of the troopers and a request that, they be recalled was forwarded by mail to the Oovernor. it contained nearly 2.000 signatures, and was prepared at the instance of the Rev. F. Baczewski, pastor of the polish Catholic Church! The signers are largely strikers and unnaturalized citizens. The proceedings will be the same as that started by the Public Defense \ssociation in the Pressed Steel Car Works strike at McKces Rocks. A movement was started yesterday afternoon to organize a taxpayers' league to file a bill in equity against the ear company i«» determine the rights of the people. The hearings of the arrested strikers, scheduled for late yesterday, were postponed on the motion of the district attorney, agreed to by Attorney Wise, appearing for the men. The striking men say they will repax the State troopers for the death of one of their number, but it is thought the authorities have the situation too well in hand to allow tho strikers to gain tile upper hand again. What effect the death of the wounded striker, shot Sunday afternoon, will havi upon the workingmen is problematical. It is not thought that he will survive much longer. Tin decision to proceed in tho strike bv peaceful methods was reached yesterday, after the striking men had beep refused permission to hold a mass meeting. For a time, after the men had been curtly told by the mounted troopers of the constabulary that, no meeting would be t.derated, it looked like serious trouble was imminent. Attorney Levi M. Wise and Father Baczewski, a Catholic priest, however, prevented a vrisis. homes this morning, while about lift.v rleann entered tho works Despit, this, however, it is not unlikely that by late this afternoon the strike ttill be declared off, an a conciliatory spirit Is being manifested on both (tides. any way HIM FROM DEATH THINKS PRAYER SAVED More different kinds <»f I>:is• • 1»;111 was played in that g:imc than ever were crowd oil into Hcvcn innings before. President Taft did not attend lbwas at Chevy Chase with Vice President Sherman playing golf. The crowd which witnessed this game which will live long in the annals of the House, was equally weary from laughter.

NICVV YORK, July 20. —"Only three minutes from Broadway!" was the sentence heard on every hand in Jersey City after the first train to plunge under the waters of the North ltiv< had whirred its way through the hi* Mi be from ('ortiandt and Church Streets to Exchange Place on the Jersey .side in exactly two minutes and thirty seconds. There was no doubt that the train, guided by the practiced hand of Chief Motorman Winkley, could have made the trip in less time; but all that was necessary was to prove t«> Jerseyites that the promise of a three-minute journey was no idle dream and that Jersey City and Manhattan were as firmly welded together by the twin tubes as if no mile-wide river had ever separated them. Timor shoots officer During both of the trials the machine behaved splendidly and indications arc that the Wrights will soon have the aeroplane in condition for the official flig-hts. The first flight lasted for twentyfive minutes and eighteen seconds, during which time the aviator circled the parade 'grounds, a distance of about five-sixths of a mile, 2f» 1-2 times. The second, which continued until darkness compelled Mr. Wright from remaining longer in the air, was for half an hour's duration, and 2!> 1-2 circuits were made. sell' and His Macihnc.

The furniture was mostly burned or badly damaged. The firemen suggest that people should be prompt in turning an alarm of tire into the central telephone offices, who will report them to the department at once. The house, which is practically a total loss, was insured for $1,000, and the furniture for $500, both risks being held by the Fink & Mitchell agency. The house and furniture were valued at about $2,500 and the dwelling had only recently been repainted. Some of the Jordan family had. arisen when a neighbor gave the alarm, but they were unable to state whether the blaze originated from a spark or a defective flue. Mr. Jordan, who has not been well, was reeuperatig at the home of his brother, John Jordan, who lives near Trade City. Thad Jeffries and Thomas Postlcwaite, teamsters for the brewery company had headed a delegation of citizens who removed all of the furniture from the lower apartments, but nothing was saved from above, so that when the 11 rem en got on the scene they had a big blaze to squelch. At that, they could have saved a good part of the building had the water pressure been adequate. Realizing that something was amiss, the firemen telephoned to the power house. In about 15 minutes the pressure came on so that a stream could be thrown into the second story window, but it only stayed up a short time, and before the blaze was entirely under control, the pressure had run down. morning in answer to an alarm which was sent in from the foot of Sauerkraut Hill, back of the Punxsutawney Brewery, where the home of Scott Jordan was ablaze. The hose wagon being at the shop for repairs the fireman rode over in a Conklln wagon and made a coupling in front of William Campbell's, the plug nearest the Jordan home. The firemen found it necessary to string 1,200 feet of hose, which took them over, .two streets, across the P. R. R. line and up an embankment 100 feet from the level of the railroad tracks. By the time they got ready for action the upper part of the building was all ablaze. The Punxsutawney Fire Department was called out at about 5:30 this ADVERTISED LETTERS.

The McKimites did, but three triple-sackers that came later, as the result of smashes by Sheldon, Goheen and Bender, along with other stunts, such as the double that retired the redoubtable Don at lirst and Mulholland at the home plate, served to reduce the clrcumlocutoriousness of the sons of Pitt. lepCIHlciltM .\ |
