Martin Moughan, of Port Griffith, is to bo given a trial with the Scranton team, of the York .State league. Moughan appears on the bench for Scranton today for the first time and he will very likely be put into the box Monday, when the leaders line up against the Binghamton team, in Scranton. He will be given a thorough try-out, and, if he makes good, will get a regular berth on the Scranton team.

Following the rule that I have adopted In regard to other states, I will not discuss New York politics or candidates prior to the state convention.".

In his typewritten attack Mr. Sullivan says: Philadelphia, Sept. 4.—Forgeries for more than a quarter of a million of dollars by Frank K. Hippie, the suicide president of the defunct Heal Estate Trust company, have been discovered by Kecelver Eaile. The latter made this statement, adding that he had no Idea where Hippie's villainy would end. Hippie In order to meet his immense overdrafts used the names of some of the most prominent business men of tills city on notes which In some cases amounted to $150,000. Putney, Eng., Sept. 8.—In the presence of over 100,000 persons, who lined the banks of the Thames and crowded innumerable excursion steamers, the crack eight of Cambridge defeated speedy crew over the famous Putney to Mortlake course. Two lengths separated the shells at the finish. Cambridge's time was ID.18. Moughan has been doing some remarkably good pitching this season. He started out with one of the small local teams and two years ago pitched part of a season .with the Brothers. Of late he has been pitching for several fa3t amateur teams throughout the State and has a record of not having lost a game this season. Manager Ashenback, of Scranton, is hot on the hunt for good players and Moughan's friends feel confident that he will have no trouble in making a place on the team. Cambridge's victory is regarded as a triumph for the English style of rowing, as the condition of the crews was such that there was little to choose between them individually. FATAL ACC: IN L iENT (•LIN MINE The president took copies of the signatures of a number of business men while some of their cheeks on negotiable securities passed through his hands, but In every case he avoided the use of the name of a Real Estate Trust company depositor. Cambridge led from the start, breaking away at the signal with the swift stroke which was expected to put them to the front in the early stage of the race. Harvard made a valiant effort to overtake the leaders, but wns unable to do so. BIG PROPS SAVE HOUSE Miner's Mills Youhi Han Was Crushed "Just a word as to the company Mr. Bryan keeps.

This he would take to the cashier or paying teller, saying he had personally made the loan, and It was discounted. With the amount t6 his credit he would satisfy the pressing claim. Ail along the course thousands of frenzied enthusiasts cheered the light blue rowers as they did their opponents, and when Cambridge flashed across the line, a winner, the Hritish people went wild.

It—Effort Will be Made An unfortunate error on the part of Coxswain Blagden, who steered the Harvard shell to far out at Chiswlck. at a critical juncture, when Harvard was beginning to overhaul her opponents, probably cost Harvard the race, as it enabled Cambridge to make a fresh gain at a time when Harvard should have gone to the front. to Lower House to Receiver Earle said that In gkI.t to accomplish the reorganization of the Real Estate Trust company he would accept the presidency If the depositors Insisted. Would Accept Presidency. Ground IjcvcI. Challenges Bryan's Indorsement. The family of James Ford, of Cork Ijane, wits aroused at 2 o'clock this morning by a sharp noise like the report of a shot. The house shook slightly and they all got up and rushed to nearby windows. A big surprise greeted them. The ground on all sides of the house had dropped away and their structure converted in a moment from a two-story to a three-story dwelling. The house Itself remained Arm, but the cellar walls, exposed to view were slightly bulging. The apparent phenomena had been caused by a mine cave, which had caused every inch of the yard and a part of the road outside to drop six feet. What saved the house were a number of pillars that Mr. Ford and his neighbors had built under It some weeks Sullivan then said that Br.vau In Ills Paris interview bad given a certificate of character to four men "as purifiers of Illinois politics." Sullivan named those four men in his interview nnd said one escaped stute prison by pleading the statute of limitation, that the second bought his nomination as judge at $.~D0 a head for delegates, that the third Is one of the "mileage steal" representatives nnd that the fourth Is a plain everyday grafter. WOMAN POINTED PISTOL AT PRIEST SCRANTON WOMAN CAUGHT BURGLARS Mr. Earle's decision to accept the presidency of the institution came after much pressure had been brought to bear upon him and after his announcement that he could not accept. It is now believed that an early reorganization of the company Is assured. The directors. It Is asserted, liave pledged themselves to advance $3,000,000, creditors will take preferred stock worth $1,000,000 and Segal's securities will be sold for $2,!»00,000. Iu this way the Institution cun be plnced on a sound basis. Hov. Father Goeckel Received Rls- Delaware At Hudson Employes at FATHER WERNZ HEAD OF JESUITS agreoahle Surprise Early Seraiiton Station Discharged from This Morning. Jolis ami Arrested, Rev. Father Goeckel, rector of St. Boniface church, was given quite a scare at the parochial residence, 011 Blackman street, at an early hour this morning. He was awakened from his sleep by some one violently shaking the door of the house. Thinking some member of his parish needed his attention at a deathbed, he hurried down stairs, when tie.was confronted by a half-crazed woman, who walked toward him with a revolver In her hand. Father Goeckel hastily retreated Into the house and telephoned the police,, who responded and captured the woman, who proved to be the notorious Irene Colligan. (Scranton Tribune.) Rome, Sept. 8.—Father Francis Wernz, rector of the Gregorglan university of Germany, the dark horse candidate supported by the German delegates to the congregation of the Society of Jesus, was today elected general of (he Jesuit order to succeed the late Father Martin. Peter Brown, night baggagemaster at the Delaware and Hudson station, this city, and Chris Heffllnger. night watchman at the paymaster's ofHce of the same company, ha" lost their positions and been arrested and held under heavy bail on a charge of burglary. Mrs. S. A. Wheeler is the complainant, and she claims to have caught the men red-handed at the point of a revolver. "air. Bryan was not truthful when he stood up In Chicago Tuesday evening to explain his 'position.' The very first paragraph in Mr. Bryan's speech on me and on 'the Illiuols situation' contains a deliberate untruth. Practically every succeeding paragraph contains either n. deliberate untruth or nn equivocation," Rays Mr. Sullivan. NEW BREAKER . The election of Father Warns is regarded as a great victory for Kaiser William. R Is expected that the new Diamond breaker, of the Delaware. Lackawanna & Western Railroad Co., will be completed by Jarr. 1. The present breaker, the first built by the company, will then be razed to the ground. The passing of the old Diamond breaker is a story in itself. Built 50 years ago, it was the first of its type in the Lackawanna Valley and was for years the pride of the region. Since then it has been remodeled several times and is at the present time equipped with fairly modern machinery. The structure has been a landmark by means of which all the western section of the city of Scranton derived its bearings. Its culm dump was the largest in the region until the washery began operations some years ago. Benefited by Segal's Loan*. That some one secured $2,000,000 for negotiating the loans made to Adolf Segal by -President Hippie i* believed by those now engaged lu investigating the company's affairs. Segal's repeated assertions that he did hot borrow, more than $3,000,000 from the trust compauy has caused the investigators to exert every effort to discover all of the details connected with these loans, and If It Is found that others benefited they will be made to return the money. Father Werna's election was forced by the German delegates at yesterday's conference and only one ballot was required, the Gorman priest receiving 42 out of a total of 81 votes. ago. The Ford home is in the section of Cork Lane that is being undermined in the surface veins by the Hillside Coal & Iron Co. All the residents have been warned off of It by the company officials and they have no redress, as their homes are built on land leased from the company. The surface vein is being worked and the robbing of pillars has been in progress for several yeeks past. Caves have been numerous and several of the residents have moved away. Mrs. Wheeler conducts the newsstand in the station. It is in charge of a young lady named Miss Jeffrey. Of late, she has noticed that quantities of cigars and tobacco have mysteriously disappeared, and she started out to investigate. After challenging Mr. Bryan to a test of honesty and sincerity Sullivan says he will cheerfully resign his office if he cannot prove he is in every way a better man than Bryan from the point of integrity. Sullivan says: Father Rudolph Meyer, of St. Louis, waa defeated by the refusal of the German delegates to support him. Compromise candidates were offered by the Italians and the Spaniards to break the apparent deadlock. Father Vigo was the man put forward by the .Spaniards and Father De La Motte by the Italians. A telephone message from Father Goeckel was received at police headquarters about 1 o'clock this morning. Sergeant Williamson hurried out to Blackman street with the patrol wagon, but when he arrived there the girl was not in sight. A woman across the street, however. Informed him that the woman was probably in some one's back yard across the street. The sergeant, together with one of the patrolmen, made a search and finally found the girl and found the revolver on her person. The girl told the sergeant to be careful of the weapon as it was loaded, but an examination showed every chamber to be empty. She said she got the revolver at the home of her mother, on Lincoln street, and when asked what .she was doing in that locality, stated that she was on her way to ftn uncle's home who resides oh Blackman street. She said she did not intend to shoot Father Ooeckel, but only desired him to keep the revolver for her. Several nights ago, when Miss Jeffrey locked the stand for the night, Mrs. Wheeler, with a big revolver, was locked in. Her vigil, however, resulted in nothing. The following night it was the same, but the third night there was something doing. Corporation Connection Defended. "Mr. Bryan harps on my connection with tlio Ogden Gas company, as If that connection were disreputable. The public press will show that the only offense tills corporation ever committed was to reduce the prlee of gas. Anionic my associates In that company were Governor John P. Altceld and Judge Thomas A. Moran of Chicago. Does Mr. Bryan dare Impugn their memories?" It bus developed that tlie lust state examination of the trust company was made by Bunking Commissioner lteeder in 1!H)2. Itobert McAfee, who was state banking commissioner from April, 11)03, to July, 1005, made uo examination, and Commissioner Berkey, who succeeded Mr. McAfee, also fulled to examine the institution. When the company started to take the pillars from under the house of Mr. Ford some week* ago he determined to try and save it. With several friends he went into the slope, having secured the company's permission, and built pillars under the house. These were made by laying ties horizontally In squares and building the squares up to the roof. The enclosed space was later filled in with dirt and culm. These were built under different sections of the house. Both men were rejected by the Germans, who urged political reasons in support of Father Wernz. The kaiser, they said, wanted a German general and they pointed out that the friendship of the German ruler would be greatly beneficial to the order In Ger- Early in the morning, Mrs. Wheeler heard a scraping at one of the windows, which was suddenly raised. A man appeared in the opening, ar}d his hand was thrust out to grasp a package of tobacco, when she cotvered liim. Another man stood near him. FOR GRADUAL REFORM many, The two expert accountants appointed by Commissioner Berkey to investigate the conditions of the concern at the end of their first day's" work announced thnt they found the trust estates, of which the Heal Estate Trust company acted as trustee, to be Intact. Sullivan asserts that in the natlonnl convention fight Bryan was anxious to make n deal with Hearst and actually proposed one, and that it does not become hlni now to put on a suit of political morality. Sullivan continues: After a lively discussion, the Scranton city teachers, at the close of their annual Institute, yesterday afternoon, declared themselves in favor of a "gradual reform" in spelling and the ultimate adoption of the phonetic system of spelling. The resolution on the subject reads as follows: Her first thought was to shoot, and if she had the man would have been instantly killed, as she was right in front of him, but Instead she grappled with him. Seeing it was Brown she let him go and covered the other man, who was trying to get away. Learning that it was Hefflinger, she permitted them both to go. MINE BLASTING DAMAGES HOUSE Residence Occupied by John Morgan When the unexpected test came this morning the pillars held even better than had been expected. The cave was general but the house scarcely moved.. However it is high above the level of the surrounding land. In addition to the inconvenience of the location the house is in a dangerous position, the foundation walls appearing ready to collapse at any minute. Mr. Ford will make another effort to save his house. He is already at work trying to lower it gradually and hopes to get it safely down to the new level. It Is believed that the vicinity of his home is now practically free from the danger of any further caves. Was Severely Sliakcn I'p Early lilts Morning "Mr.'Bryau says, 'My political asset is the confidence the people have In my sincerity.' Mr. Bryan lias twice led the Democratic party to defeat, the second a worse defeat than the first. If he Is proud of that evidence of the people's confidence In his sincerity he is welcome to it. lie Insinuates that 1 make money out of politics and that his sincerity therefore compels him to oppose my participation in Democratic affairs. If Mr. Bryan thinks It wrong to hiake money out of politics he should quit making money. Mr. Bryan has not a dollar that he ever made out of anything but politics. He tried to lie a lawyer; he was a failure at It. He tried to be a newspaper editor; he was a failure at that. He Is now a man of property. As fortunes go, he Is a rich man. He has made every dollar of hitfortune out of politics as a stepping stone to the lecture platform." Church Fund* Intact, A house on Bryden street, Cork Lane, owned by John Casey and occupied by John Morgan, was badly damaged early this morning Uy a blast fired in the slope that runs under it. The members of the family were sleeping when they were suddenly aroused by a terrific detonation, followed by the failing of plaster and the shattering of windows. Those in the house were terribly frightened, not knowing what had happened. It was finally learned that a blast had been fired in the slope underneath the house. It is known as the checker slope and is only between 12 and 15 feet below the surface at the Morgan home. The Hillside Coal and Iron Co. Is having the mine work done. 'Resolved, That we favor the movement for a gradual reform of spelling as we are convinced that the ultimate adoption of a completely phonetic system of spelling would bo a great benefit to every English speaking adult, while to foreigners who wish to study English and to school children It would mean a shortening of their labor by several years." The committee named by the trustees of the general assembly of the Presbyterian church to ascertain the condition of the general assembly's trustee funds, which were in the custody of Hippie us treasurer of the board of trustees, made the following announcement: The next day, Mrs. Wheeler reported the incident to the company officials, and both men were Immediately discharged. A warrant was then issued for their arrest, and, before Alderman Millar, they were held under $1,000 ball each for court. The police believe the girl Is demented and an effort will be made to have her "sent to some Institution. When arrested she was Intoxicated and was wandering about with no shoes on her feet. To the l'resbyterian church SHORTAGE OF WATER. TRACTION CO. SUED. •'Careful examination shows that tUe great bulk of the investments of the trustees, amounting to $0(53,000, is intact. The entire loss through the malfeasance of the late treasurer Is uqt likely to exceed j|M0,0tD0. ADOPTS ORPHAN. Michael Condry, of Wilkesbarre, has brought suit against the Wilkesbarre & Wyoming Valley Traction Co. for the recovery of $10,000 damages for alleged permanent injuries received. through the wilfull carelessness and negligence of the company's employes. Mr. Condry was driving a team of horses in Wilkesbarre one day last May. One of the company's cars came along. at a rapid rate of speed and the ■ horses, being young and inexperienced,, began to prance about. Mi-. Condry motioned to the motbrman to ease the rate of speed but the motorman Instead Increased the speed. The result was that the horses became more frightened than ever, swerved about, broke the wagon pole, upset the wagon and ran away. Mr. Condry was thrown out of the vehicle with great force and was severely injured about the back, arms and legs. It is claimed that the injuries are permanent and he is still compelled to use a cane while walking. His attorney is James L. Denahan. Julius Freed, the South Main street jeweler, has adopted Joseph Sengle, a nine-year-old Russian Jewish lad, whose parents were killed in the massacre of Odessa some months ago. The boy was one of the large number who came over a few weeks ago and were to be deported as not able to sustain themselves. The government broke Its rule in the ease, however, and the children were allowed to stay. Another lad Is being kept by Mr. Freed until he finds work or Is taken by some family. The adopted lad will be sent to school commencing next Monday. l)r. Norman G. Bowklcy, Dentist, 2nd floor, Lyric theater bldg., Water St. 8 to 12 a. m.; 2 to 8 p. m. The, residents of Inkerman are deeply incensed against the People's Water Co. owing to the water famine that worries that section and, unless the condition is soon alleviated, they will appeal to the courts tCJ compel the copipany to supply them with at least sufficient water for their needs. The shortage of water has been no' ticeable in all the high parts of Inkerman. Ofter for days it a time not a drop of water can be drawn from any hydrants In the affected section, and a continuous supply of water for any consecutive 24 hours Is practically unknown. After having been without water all day yesterday a meager supply was to be had last night, and today the residents find themselves again with the hydrants dry. The water company officials have been showered with complaints, but, as far as the residents know, no effort has been made to alleviate the condition. MAN FOUND DEAD NEAR BRESLAU "The suspension of the Real Estate Trust company has involved the deposit account of the trustees, amounting to ifll'.OOO, the whole of which,tit the present time, It Ik hoped, will be saved." I AUTO DAMAGE SUIT. Victim Has Not Been Identified aiul Au action was started in the Lackawanna court this morning by Mrs. Christine Spathelf, of Scranton. to recover $15,000 damages fron\ the Scranton Garage & Motor Car Co. It will be remembered that Charles Spathelf, aged 12, and Augustus Spathelf, aged 10, were run down by an automobile on the night of July 6, driven by John Fisher, manager of the garage. The accident resulted In the death of Augustus and terrible injuries to the brother. Suspicions Point to Poisoning as the Cause of Death, Examiner Berkoy declared tliut his experts' examination of the Real Estate Trust company's failure would uot stop wltli an investigation of the accounts of tliat institution. The dead body of a man was discovered along the road near Breslau, just below Wllkesbarre, about nine o'clock this morning by a boy who happened to be passing by. No one who can furnish any particulars concerning the man has yet appeared, but It is thought that his name is Ambrose Chemasky, as that is the person to whom a butcher bill found in his pocket is made out. Nothing which -would lead to identification, outside the bill, was found in the man's clothing. It is thought that the man came to his death from foul play, and suspicions point to poisoning as the cause. The remains were those of a man about 50 years old. Tho body was removed to tho morgue of Undertaker Mooney, where they await a claimant and identification. 8ullivan's Challenge. Mr. Sullivan's statement winds up as follows: "To test Mr. Bryan's boasted sincerity a little I challenge him to this: If I hold my position on the Democratic national committee by fraud I ought to resign. If Mr. Bryan has falsely accused me of profiting by fraud, theu he ought to iiult running for president, because no man is fit to be a candidate for that high ofllce who goes out in public and lies about any member of hlB party. Therefore I propose that Mr. Bryau and I put the Issue as between uq, up to the men who sat as delegates In the Springfield convention of two years ago. These delegates are still living in Illinois; they can all be found. Mr. Bryan said that a majority of tliem were opposed to me for national committeeman. He has said that he had at St. Louis letters from more than half of those delegates, in which they repudiated the action of the convention which resulted in my becoming national committeeman. Let us poll those delegates. Let us have this poll made under the direction of the chief Justice of the supreme court of Illinois. If the majority of those dele intes will support Mr. Bryan's prese.it contention and will say that I wa* elected to the national committee by "There are other trust companies in this city," he said, "that will require looking Into, but I do not think It prudeut at the time to give their names, as it might cause unnecessary alarm and do harm to perfectly safe concerns. CAPITOL DEDICATION. At a meeting of the State Capitol dedicatory committee held in Philadelphia yesterday, plans were laid for the dedication of the new building at Harrlsburg on Oct. 4th. A communication from President Roosevelt was read, stating that the President and his party would leave Washington at 7:50 a. m. on the day of the dedication, their train arriving in Harrisburg at 11:05 o'clock- The President will be escorted directly from the station to the Capitol. The dedication ceremonies will start promptly at 11:15 o'clock. "My investigation, however, will be thorough, and I will uot stop at prosecutions if I see It to be my duty."
