J. Brown, of Reading, to prevent an accident, backed over the precipice along a creek. Fortunately the carriage struck u tree in its descent, and was held there until the occupants could get out. The horses were draggod along and remained In their perilous position until Mr. Brown returned with his automobile to McAdoo and obtained a block and tackle, with which the outfit was again pulled on the road.

Deadly Results of All-Night Rebels. Horace Oreely, the nine-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. James Greeley, of William street, had several remarkable escapes from death last evening. He plunged head foremost from a bridge 25 feet high and landed close to the deadly third rail of the Laurel Line. He was Injured quite severefy Internally, but no serious results tiro anticipated. Young Greeley was playing with a number of boys of his age last evening about 8 o'clock and the game brought hm to the William street bridge that crosses the Laurel Line tracks. He was being chased by a companion and, running onto the bridge, he made a dash for the sidewalk. A beam separates it from the road and Greeley rushed forward to Jump over It. He failed to leap quite high enough and his feet struck It. He had been running so fast that Instead of striking the sidewalk his body shot between the rails of the bridge fence. He dropped head first to the tracks 25 feet below. Fortunately he missed both the third rail, the upright fence and the car rails, a fall on any of which would likely have caused his death. He was picked up unconscious and carried to his home, where ho was attended by Dr. Thompson. He was resting easily this morning. Battle. Trust Co.

Constables. i H|J YORK STATE LEAGUE. Punxsutawney, Pa., Sept. 4.—With the first glimmer of daylight yesterday morning the State constables besieging the murderous Italian miners who killed two of tlielr number *blew up the stone house in which the foreigners had established a fortress with dynamite. Flames that followed completed the work of destruction, but not until the State constables made a gallant charge into the ruins, arrested two Italians whom the explosion had terrorized, and carried out the body of Private Francis Zehringer, who was shot down in an attempt to rush the house. Oyster Ray, N. Y., Sept. 4. — The greatest navql pageant in the history of the United States, which took place off here In the presence of President Roosevelt amd thousands of spectators who, despite threatening weather, came on yachts, excursion boats and trains and In automobiles, was a splendid success. Nothing occurred to uiur the event. At Wllkcsbarre — Scranton, 10; Wllkesbarre, 3. Batteries—Chappel olid Clark: Bowen, Pounds and Doran. Havana, Sept. 4.—President Palma In an interview put an end to any expectation that ho would make any concessions whatever to the rebels beyond the offer of pardon already extended. The president said he could not possibly make such concessions ciiier now or hereafter and could not »ee In any event what the government could offer beyond what had already jeen done. American intervention, the president said, had not been considered because the government believed it eould end the Insurrection without assistance. The president said: Philadelphia, Sept. 4.—District Attorney Bell, after an all day Investigation of the altairs of the Heal Estato Trust Co., which failed last Tuesday, established direct evidence of criminality with more than one person responsible. Arrests are  absolutely certain and it is known that the suspected persons have been placed under surveillance. At Utlca—Utica, 7; A., J. & G., 4. Batteries—Schlltzer and Stroh; Purcell and Rafter. At Albany—Troy, 4; Albany, 3. Batteries—McSurdy and Splesman; Qalask), Starkell and Mlllerlck. At Syracuse (first game)—Syracuse, 2; Blnghamton, 4. Batteries—Cristall and McCarthy; Wagner and Roach. "The deposits have been swept away," said Mr. Bell. "They have been looted. My Investigation shows that more than one person Is Implicated. There will be arrests, but when I have not decided. I Interrogated Directors Junkin, Houston, Benson and Porter and a number of under officials of the Trust Co. I secured much evidence from them. I shall continue my investigation and will examine Treasurer North and Assistant Treasurer Colllngwood. I have found no evidence that the trust funds were tampered with beyond the $50,000 already reported, but I have not concluded my Investigation of this department." The president congratulated Secretary of the Navy Bonnparte, who in turn felicitated "Fighting Bob" Evans, commander of the fleet. The admiral thereupon caused to lie flown from the flagship Maine signals to his officers and men reading: Second game—Syracuse, 6; Blnghamton, 3. Batteries—Maurer and McCarthy; Murray and Roach. The judge made no secret of his disgust with the beer-selling policy of the Allentown fair. Attached to the ,hotel on the grounds, under a shedlike structure, Is the largest beer stand in the United states. The beer privilege Is awarded by the society to the highest bidder. The money derived from this concession, which averages about $6,000 for the four days of the fair, is the society's largest single item of revenue. STANDING OF THE CLUBS. The body of one Italian, his head pierced by a bullet, was found on an upper floor, and It Is firmly believed that two more of the foreigners' bodies are In the ruins. This would make the casualties for the bitter battle five dead, including Private John Henry, of Philadelphia, who was killed in the first rush. PC. .676 '•You may say emphatically that runors of any action by the government in any way looking to compromise or making concessions to the rebels are absolutely false and unfounded for the present or for the future. It Is Impossible that any contingency could bring It about. I cannot see what the government could offer the rebels excepting to nllow them to return peacefully VD their homes provided they surrender And give up their arms." Scranton "Well done."

The excursion fleet dispersed before nightfall, and the great crowds which had sought Oyster Hay during the day climbed to places of vantage on surrounding heights to view the Illumination nnd play of the powerful searchlights of the fleet. That It Is the Intention of the depositors to place the burden of responsibility for the failure of the bank upon the shoulders of the directors became" known yesterday. Counsel representing $500,000 of deposits declared they were In a position to prove the liability of the directors. They proposo In the event of the directors being unable to evolve a satisfactory plan for the reorganization of the company to adopt measures which shall Insure some benefits to the depositors.Joseph Velensky, of Port Griffith, will think twice in the future before he tells two men that they worked behind the "stockade" during the recent suspension from work. He might tell one man, but not two together. Velensky, together with William Kulash and Joe Swantkosky, were drinking in a Port Griffith saloon and an argument arose over the union question. The saloon man put the three out and they continued their argument outside. Velensky Anally said that the two others worked during the recent suspension. He might havo gone further, but his speech was suddenly cut off by a series of blows. A free-for-all fight was on, and when it ended Velensky and Kulash were ready for a physician's care. The latter was attended by Dr. McGlnty. Tells Why He Believes In Shorter Hours For Workingmcn, Many of the Italians escaped during the long night siege, being favored by a terrific storm that was raging. These are being searched for. Detroit, Mich., Bopt. 4.—William Jennings Bryan and party were greeted In Detroit by a large crowd. Mr. Bryan was received by a reception committee and escorted to the Cadillac hotel, where he was formally welcomed by Mayor Codd and Governor Warner. Intervention Not Considered. Concerning American intervention Talma said: STATE RIFLE TEAM. "That matter has not been under consideration becausc we believe we can control the situation without any outside aid. We shall put down this senseless rebellion by force, and we feel amply confident of our ability to do It. We were not prepared for a blow of such character, although we knew several mouths ago that they were conspiring, but we soan will have sufficient men and arms to dominate the rebels. There may be some Isolated encounters and desultory fighting, but we will be In a position to protect all Interests. The people are not in sympathy with the rebels. There is a lawless element which always takes advantage of disturbed conditions to rob and pillage, but I have confidence in the loyalty of the masses." Dynamite Shattered House. Announcement was made at Mt. Gretna yesterday by Colonel Frank K. Patterson, general Inspector of rifle practice, of the selection of the following marksmen to represent the State of Pennsylvania In the matches at Sea Girt, N. J., next week: Shortly after 4 o'clock Captain J. F. Robinson, commanding the troop, decided to batter the house down with dynamite. A dozen or more cartridges were thrown against the building and the resulting explosions tore a great gap in the walls and shook the structure from its foundation. In view of the exaggerated estimates of the cost of firing the many salutes to the president during the review the president made specific inquiry and whs told that instead of costing $1,- 000,000 for saluting powder the ammunition expended could be replaced for something like $('*00. After dinner the party was taken to the state fair grounds in automobiles, where Mr. Bryan made a short address. In the evening at the Light Guard armory, however, n nonpolltlcal reception was given him. In his address Mr. Bryan said: Major K. Claude Ooddard, ordinance officers, First brigade; Private Robert Gamble, First regimen:; Private Albert L. Dunn, Jr., First regiment; First Sergeant William Maybee, Second regimont; Major George E. ICamp, Third regiment; Sergeant Albln Krebs, Third regiment; Sergeant Major Edward D. Fried, Fourth regiment; Color Sergeant Humphrey Porterfleld, Sixth regiment; Artificer John G. Dillin, Sixth regiment; Color Sergeant Elmer E. Slopey, Twelfth rnKiment; Musician Charles Moore, Thirteenth regiment; Private A. E. Perkins, Thirteenth regiment; Captain George B. Shields, Inspector of rifle practice. Fourteenth regiment; Color Sergeant John W. Gray, Fourteenth regiment; Lieutenant W. F. Robertson, Sixteenth regiment; Private Edward Sweeting, Sixteenth regiment. A marked change of front was manifested in the attitude of the members of the board of directors toward reimbursing the depositors of the concern. Heretofore It had been declared that the directors stood ready and willing to advance any amount of money to readjust the affairs of tho company and thus rid themselves of the stigma of moral or criminal negligence m allowing the president to wreck the company. Captain Robinson then ordered several volleys fired through the doors and windows, after Cvhich he ordered a charge. The troopers rushed 1tD with a will. On the first floor were two Italians too terrorized to offer any resistance. They were handcuffed and turned over to a guard. Surrounding the Mayflower when the president came aboard was a fleet of sightseeing craft. Most conspicuous was a large tug from New York with a party of newspaper men aud photographers aboard. Across the wheelhouse had been placed a large muslin sign which read, "Pres Bot." The president's eye caught this sign at once, aud he clapped his hands In enjoyment.President Enjoys a Joke. "I believe in the eight hour day, and this Is why: I believe that the laboring man Is Justly entitled to It and (lnit society at large would be better If he had it. Give the laboring mau shorter hours and I believe forces will Ik? put to work which will cause him to mako the best of his time. rich man leaves his family u fortune. The laboring man, who canuot hope for Justice under any other government than that which lielleves in the Inalienable rights of man, can hope to leave his children a good government, which Is better than any fortune. Recognize the laboring man not as a beast of burden, but as a human being." AMERICAN BOAT SEIZED BY MEXICANS The explosion had fired the building, and it was beginning to bu'rh briskly by this time. The body of Private ?ehringpr was found £t the foot of the stairs, Just where he had fallen when he attempted to rush up Sunday evening. After Privates Oroas and Cummlngs were forced to retreat, the Italians had fired a dozen or more charges " of buckshot into the body, and It was literally riddled with shot. It is believed that Zehrlnger was only wounded when ho fell, and the Italians made sure of his death. The body was tenderly carried out of tho building by his comrades. John H. Converse, one of the directors, denied this statement. He said: Galveston, Tex., Sept. 4.—A Mexican gunboat has seized the American fishing smack Aloha and thrown her crew of fourteen men in prison for violation of fishing treaty rights. The Mexicans have confiscated the smack and one-half of her cargo. The Aloha, which belonged to the Gulf Fisheries company, is the third boat of the company taken by the Mexicans. Vice President Capote Loyal. "I stand ready and eager to pay my portion of the losses, but this proportion will be entirely based on my holdings of the company's stock. This I shall pay and nothing more." "Fine, flue," he shouted—-"reform spelling!"

Worried Over Trust Funds. "Such a report is a malicious slander ou a distinguished patriot and loyal friend of the administration and my personal friend. Selection was made from the twenty high score men of the annual State competitions of last week, who have been at practice for a week. Whether the $26,000,000 in trust funds held by the Ileal Estate Trust Co .are intact or practically Intact is a point which has not yet been made clear, although the doors of the bank have been closed for a week. Receiver Earle says he believes the trust funds are nearly intact. Directors who took Hippie's word for everything while he looked the institution, hope that they have not been swamped in wildcat investments, but there is a lack of definite and detailed information which is ominous, to say the least. The Telegraph says: The capture was made in Areas Heef, in the Campechie Gulf, where the Aloha had put in to escape a storm. To these marines the president's lienrt went out. YANKEE BOAT WINS. A rush was mado to the second floor. As the troopers dashed up the stairs they heard a couple of men running up the upper stairway to the attic. On the second floor they found the body of an Italian shot through the head. The body was cold .and the man had evidently been killed during the siege some hours before. To save it from the flames which were now fast spreading through tho building, it was hurled from the window."I wish to say a word," he began, "of hearty appreciation to you men of the marine corps, to you ns representing not merely the marines, but the officers and enlisted ineu alike, who have for tlie past year been engaged In so difficult and delicate a mission In Santo Domingo. You have done very responsible and very difficult duties. You have done them to perfection. "It will take time," President Palm a continued, "to eradicate this stain. We were prospering, and foreign capital had confidence in the stability and resources of Cubu. I have not been a dictator, but have given a constitutional government, with ample guarantees. Kven now, when the local press and muny individuals falsify the news and commit acts which are treason, I have taken no steps to suppress them. I would be justified In urresttng some of the conspirators who from this city ure directing others aud encouraging rebellion." Outsails German Yachts In Race For BIG DAY AT GLEN. OBITUARY.

The second largest crowd of the season pnjoyed itself there to its heart's content. If it was not the largest crowd that the park ever held, it was the most orderly and well behaved. Everything moved along as smoothly all day as II the ways had been greased. There was no serious delay on the Laurel Line at any lime, and not a single annoying Incident marred the day. For the second time within the past two months the Clark home, on Pine street, has been saddened by death. Frank Clark died yesterday morning at 11 o'clock at Mercy hospital, where he had been undergoing treatment for a few days for heart trouble, with which he was suddenly stricken. His father died only a few weeks ago after a long illness. Frank Clark was a fireman in Hughes' brewery and was quite well known about the city. He is survived by the following sisters and brothers: Mrs. Frank Brown, Mrs. •Oscar Houck. James, Michael, Thomas, Edward and Verna. The funeral will take place tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, with a mass in St. John's church at 9:30 and interment in St. John's cemetery.

Foster of the Eastern Yacht club, while Tilly VI. and Glueckauf IV., two German craft, were in fifth and sixth places respectively.Practically the contest was entirely between Auk and Vim. At no time did the German craft or Caramba become dangerous, although the oft expressed desire of the German yachtsmen for plenty of wind was granted. The race was twice over a triangular course or two and a half miles to a leg, making a total distance of fifteen miles, and the first leg was to windward. . test by a large margin. Vim, owned The troopers were ordered to retire from the house, but before doing so they fired a dozen shots through the ceiling of the second floor Into the attic. When the building tumbled into ruins a short time afterward the bodies of two men were seen to go down with the falling floors. One of these is thought to have been that of Salvatore Walshick, over whose arrest by Sergeant Logan the fighting first began. Can Rely on Navy, "We have grown to feel a certainty that whenever the men of the American army or navy are called upon for any duty, no matter how difficult or how Irksome, or even how dangerous, they are certain to perform it, not merely with efficiency and courage, but with a total absence of grumbling." The fireworks display, which was given along the lakeside at 9 o'clock, was far better than any display given before at the park, and was witnessed by a great throng. "This question Is the only one of great moment which has not yet been adequately answered, If that other question, 'Do the directors of the trust company Intend to make good?' Is excluded.President Pulina, spoke feelingly of his devotion to Culm and his efforts to give the people a Just government. "I have given my life to Cuba," he said, "and sought no personal gain. I shall leave the presidency with no more fortune than I had before, and I receive nothing from the government but my salary, every cent of which I spend to represent the office with dignity."A number of prizeballoons were sent up In the evening, and their course was followed by an eager multitude of small boys, so that It Is the one best bet of the day that they will all be recovered and the prize tags redeemed."That the suicide president, Frank K. Hippie, aided and abetted by some other officer or officers of the wrecked bank, who are threatened with arrest, misappropriated about $10,000,000; that the directors did nothing to curb them, but in at least several instances were parties to the losing of tDlg sums Is as clear as day. All that remains to be done, as regards the loss of the deposits, Is to fix the kind and measure of each officer's and director's responsibility or guilt. Smoke Prince Otto Be clear, Gillespie. There are a number of houses in tho row of buildings at the mine. The flames threatened to destroy all tho buildings, but the troopers and miners turned to and saved them with tho exception of the house In which tho outlaws took refuge and the one standing next to it.

Magee, chairman of the Democratic county committee, has been arrested and held for a hearing on the charge of assault and battery upon Frederick Manlick.

Little Fighting Reported, Tomorrow the members of the Junior Order of American Mechanics are to have an outing at the Glen. It promises to be an event of great magnitude.No fighting of consequence Is reported. The principal engagement reported Is one In which Colonel Valle, com'mandlug a force which sallied a week ago from Cienfuegos, encountered at Cumannyuga, Santa Clara province, a force of Insurgents, whom he scattered, taking ten prisoners, arms and horses. Seven men were arrested in adjoining houses. They are believed to have been implicated in the trouble. It Is believed the battle has resulted in a most salutary lesson to the Italians, who for years have had things their own way and have obeyed such laws or so much of them as suited their fancy. LUNA PARK. "Great as Is the loss suffered by depositors, the losses which widows and orphans may have sustained overtops all other questions. Pollay, the man who loops the loop on a bicycle, was unable to open up his engagement at Luna Park yesterday, owing to the fact that he met with a serious accident at Berwick, while testing his loop. The rider and bicycle were thrown some distance, the former being picked up unconscious while the bicycle was smashed into twisted bits of steel. Upon examination It was found that Pollay had sustained a dislocated shoulder and It is feared that he is injured internally. As the result of ths accident Pollay cannot fulfill his engagement at Luna Park this week and another act has been secured to replace him.

The Insurgents In Havana and Pinar del Rio province continue to respect .American properties. One of Asbert's bands, who had thken horses, cows and bogs from an American dairy farm near Havana, returned sit the horses, paid $200 for the hogs and apologized. Near Bahla Honda a band of 300 took all tbe horses on neighboring plantations, except those of Americans, declaring they would not molest American property unless they found the Cnbah government was defeating tbem, whereupon tbey would destroy enough to compel the United States to Intervene. In Santa Clara, however, properties of Americans and Spaniards in the Manicaragua district have lieen robbed and damaged by Insurgents.

No cause is known for the deed. Mr. Hooe was prominent In Washington and In-all tbe social centers of Virginia.
