those in which the most interest cen-

and it can truly be said that they have
no equals. The ringing was also an at-

Traffic on the Consolidated road .was
delayed this morning, on account of an
accident, caused by an engine and a
freight car running of! of the derailing
switch between the Wrshingtou street
crossing and the draw bridge.
A train was going east about 6:50
o'clock, in charge of Conductor Chspin

Terrence Csvanaugh gave the engineer
the signal that all was right. as operator

toward the bridge, when the derailing
switch was thrown previous to the open-
ing of the draw by Bridgetender William
Harford.and the locomotive, No. 506,
and one freight car ran off the track, and
along the ties for some distance. splitting
them quite badly. The cast bound pre-
senger trains took the crmsover at Mon-
roe street and went on the wrst bound
track to Westport, where they crossed
back. By this arrangement there wrs
very little delay caused to travelers.
S witch engine 487, in charge of Conduc-
tor Keating. came up and pulled the
other no.3 of the train t.) the siding.
Then Section Foreman Powure’ men ar-
ranged the blocking and the switcher
pulled the freight car on the 'traclr, and
afL-r considerable work succeeded in
getting the engine back. The locomo-
tive was somewhat damaged.
The railroad officials will investigate
the accident and place the blame on the
right parties.

Louie James, the actor. whose doings

ter t0 the New York Herald:
“Reports having been circulated
through the press in this country that
Miss Wainwright and I ‘are to be recon-
ciled. etc.,' I desire to state that there is
not a particle of truth in any such sug-
gestion. There has also been circulated
a story that when she was recently in
Scranton I had sent to her a bouquet of
flowers, and that statement is equally
untrue.
“I was prepared to defend the action
which Miss Wain wright recently brought
against me in the Supreme Court in
New York city for divorce, but when
the case was called she did not appear,
and it was (lismlflsull.

rested him. The prisoner admitted that
he intended to blow the Italian n

Coroner Doten Inquiring Into the Red.
ding Shooting Accldent.
Coroner Diten is in Reldinz today in-
vestigating the, shooting accident which
occurred Sunday. He is not sure but
what there was criminial carelessness,
and thinks the boys may have been
quarreling.
Reuben Parker, s fourteen-year-old lad
of that place. in cjiulpany with Edward
Bradley, aged twenty-four, and John
Show. aged 14. were in the woods just
outside the town when the accident hap-
pened. Parker and Shaw were fooling
with their rifl Pt! and carried them in care-
lcss positions. Brzulloy cautioned the
boys several times to be more careful,but
his mlmonilions were not heeded. Final-
ly he spoke rather sharply to young
Parker and the lad retorted that if llrad-
Icy did not. like the way he i-irriell his
gun he, Bradley, might carry it himself.
Thinking that it would be safer if he
took charge of the title, llmrllc-y took it
from Parker and curried both guns
under his arm w ith the muzzles [minted
into the air. All went happily for
awhile and then the boys lwgan their
fooling again, During tlu- "fun" Parker
ran up behind Bradley and attempted to
pull his gun from him. This was re.
slated by Bradley, aml in the tussle for
the p recession of the rifle It was «lis-
clmrgml. Parker fell to the grt'uund un.

think he was dead but picked him up
and startl‘l to curry him home. Ilcforc

the boy was dead. The alarm was

tack recently made on Mr. Hill for

showing that the reduction wm made
simply to meet the standard of wages in
