RIOTING IN STRET
Three Buys Were Shot and Probably
Fatally Wounded and Several
Other People \\ ere More or Less
Seriously Injured in Fights About*
the City.
Three boys were shot and probably
fatally wounded, while several
received less severe wounds Tuesday
In riots which followed the resumption
of service by the Rapid Transit
company. The shooting occurred
In attacks on cars in the northeastern
section.
Market street, the principal business
thoroughfare in the heurt of
the city, was the scene of disturbances
during the ?ntire day. Cars
were stoned and two policemen were
roughly handled by a mob of several
thousand persons. A dozen arrests
were made and the prisoners
placed in a trolley car. This was
stormed and two of the prisoners
escaped.
President Murphy of the Central
Labor Union still regards a general
strike of all trade unions in the city
as inevitable, although Organizer
Pratt is rej)orted to be opposing this
move. A delegation of labor leaders
left for Washington Tuesday to
ask Senator Penrose to use his influence
for a peacuble solution of the
trouble.
Members of the State Fenslbles,
an Independent military organization
of about 200 members, were placed
on duty Tuesday n.'ght, armed with
loaded musketB. They were detailed
In t ho ICIncrcitKrtnn mill rl iafrlnt In i
the northeast, which is a hotbed of
union sympathizers.
In their first skirmish they were
badly beaten by the mob, who paid
no attention to the drawn bayonets
and snatched the muskets from the
hands of the' young militiamen.
Members of the State Fencibles,
according to Mayor Reyburn, acting
as though they were on a picnic, allowing
girls in the mill district to
wear their caps and cut the brass
button off their clothing. At one
point a group of rioters captured a
^ member of the Fencibles and carried
him several hundred feet from
his post, where they stripped him
9 of his coat, hat, cartridge belt and
gun and threw him into a sewer.
A nonunion conductor was badly
hurt at Sixth and Market street late
Tuesday afternoon when a crowd attacked
his car after a boy had pulfed
the trolley pole from the feed
wire. Policemen drove back the
crowd at the point of revolvers and
started the car. It had gone but a
short distance when a heavy iron
weight, thrown from a window,
crashed through the roof of the vehicle.
Fifteen policemen quartered in the
barn of the Philadelphia Rapid tran
Bit company at Ridge avenue and
York street narrowly escaped death
when the entire northwest corner of
the building was blown away with
dynamite. The explosion occurred
just as C. O. Pratt was about to
address a meeting of car men at a
hall at Ridge avenue and Dauphin
, streets.
This building, as well as others
in the vicinity, was shaken by the
shock. How the dynamite was placed
in the car barn is a mystery.
The State Fencihles, after being
harrassed and beaten all day by a
mob of thousands of strike breakers
along Lehigh avenue, were withdrawn
nt nightfall. The militia had
been powerless against the mob, but
a half dozen mounted police had
ridden up and down driving the rioters
before them during the afternoon.
Only two cars were run on
this line during the afternoon, and
both wpre badly shattered by stones.
Policemen In this locality wen
fired npon by a strike sympathizer,
who had concealed himself In St.
Simean's church at Lehigh avenue
and Hutchinson street. This enraged
the guardians of the peace and
they returned the fire, hitting W. E.
Collins In the groin. He was remov
ed to the Episcopal hospital.
It Wm a Mix ITp.
Fivo hundred persons attending
a small theatre at Pattan, Pa., Saturday
night were precipitated Into
the basement of the building when
the floor collapsed during a fire. Men,
women and children were struggling
In the debris and to add to the panic
y ^ the firemen were forced to turn
streams of water Into the basement
where the crowd was struggling to

NEW IIOUSF, FURNITURE
t
Resolution Passed Provides for Some
Needed Improvements.
The House before adjournment
passed by a vote of 65 to 31 Mr
Gasque's resolutiou authorizing the
sergtant-at-arms r.o nurchiss furniture
similar to tha' i> the senate.
The resolution also provided that
should any of the members wish to
purchase their old desks they could
do so, the price being $5.
There was a great deal of debate
on the proposition on both sides.
The resolution was finally adotit>1
by a vote of 65 to 31, although there
were a number of amendments. One
provided that the chairman of the
wnvs nilil mpnna nnmfnn
act nlBo In the purchase of these
supplies. Another provided that the
old desks should be sold to the present
members at eacfi.
illoth of these were udopted.
An amendment by J. W. Ashley
that the desks remain in the hall between
sessions was killed by a vote
of 54 to 116. The effect of this resolution
would have cut out all public
gatherings where it was necessary
to remove the desks.
BAD DOLLAR HILLS OUT.
Hankers Warned as to a Dangerous
Counterfeit.
Warnings have been sent to the
officials of the banks here, as well
as to banking institutions throughout
the country, putting them on
guard against a counterfeit one-dollar
bill, so skillfully made that it
can hardly be detected by the most
experienced eye at a casual gnnce.
The counterfeit is said to be an unusually
dangerous one. The soles
is that 011 1S99, and the cheok letter,
it is elated, is "B." The fron.
plate number is given at 4,810.
The description of the spurious
bill sent to the bank cashiers states
that one of the most conspicious
faults about the bad bill is the
fact that the Lincoln and Grant portraits
are printed in a much darker
ink than they are on the genuine
notes. Some of the letters on it, as,
for instance. the words "United
States" near the Lincoln portrait,
are Imperfectly formed. Local bank
cashiers are keeping their "eyes peeled"
for the imitation bills.
AFTER NEGRO ROBBERS.
They Hroke in Dry Goods Store After
Setting Fire to House.
A dispatch from Fulton, Ky., says
a mob of forty men nrmed with
shotguns nrrived in that city early
Tuesday on the trail of two negroes,
who broke into the Mathis
Duke Dry Goods store at Martin,
Tennessee, Monday night and ransacked
the premises. It is believed
the negroes are headed for Cairo, 111.,
?iiu in? ^uiro omcers were*notified
to lie on the lookout. It is not believed
thnt the mob will proceed to
Cairo as such an armed body arriving
there at this time would be liable
to create an exciting scene.
A telephone message from McCornell,
Tenn., three miles south of
Fulton, Ivy., late Tuesday night said
that the two negroes had set fire
and robbed a residence there.

Found Shot.
Three negroes who hoarded the
smoaker of a New Jersey Central
train as it was leaving the Jersey
City terminal early Wednesday, pulled
out their revolvers a few minutes
later and proceeded to shoot up
the car in wild western fashion.
When the smoke cleared, it was
found that two passengers had been
seriously hurt. One had a bullet in
his abdomen and the other was shot
through the breast.
The negroes, apparently sobered
by the result of their work, took to
their heels, jumping front the rear
platform as the train whirled through

train was quickly stopped and the

THE TRUE BASIS
%
OF GENUINE WORTH IN A YOUNC
MAN IS CHARACTER.
#
Got. Hughes on the Young Men;
Christian Association's Platform
uuu 0VIV1VC*
We are her today upon a platform
upon which all good citizens car
stand because there Is a know' dge
in this association and In any gathering
of American citizens that character
is the basis of industry, the
surety of the endurance of the Republic.
What a noble thing it is to
see a man well equipped for life's
work, uot a narrow-minded man, not
ine who trios to shield himself from
ill pleasures of life that go to make
well rounded and symmetrical character,
but a young man who realizes
that he is here in the world to do
something and before he can do
something worth while, he must be
something worth while. What a
noble thing it is to see In a demosratic
community, with the development
of the capacity for work, which
tend to interfere with proper enforcement
of legislative work, to see
at the same time the soundness of
the views of our people on what
stands for decency and for justice.
We honor every organization which
attempts to keep men up to the
responsibility of their obligations,
which attempts to make cl ar the
iluty that is placed upon them as
free citizens of this republic. Every
one of us knows how soon is the
relapse if we are not held steadfast
to our ideals bv social rohii.
ment.
It is a remarkable thhig that the
Young Mens Christian Association
lias been so successful in providing bo
many different fields of activity for
young men. Educational, or physical
improvement, social, religious;
it seems to comprehend about everything
that a young man needs.
1 heard, some years ago, a distinguished
educational expert say
that the object of a liberal education
was the wise conduct of business
ind the noble employment of leisure
That seems to be the object of this
issociation; -fitting men to play their
part in life with^ability, providing
them resources for the noble employment
of leisure, and giving them
proper notions of how life sholtf be
spent.
We have had a good deal of overemphasis
In the past on what has
lieen called success. The young
\merica has started out fired with
imbition as he has frequently read
>f the adventures of those who have
proceeded him to obtain what he
calls success; and too frequently,
that goal has been defined in terms
af accumulation of material benfits
ind of prominent position.
In these days, I think, we are taking
a truer view of life. It is a
splendid sight to see the young man
of today eoing forth to make the
most of himself, not for himself
alone, but for the benefit of his fellow
men.
There never was a time in our
history when mere wealth gavo i:n
posessor so few advantages as it
does today, in the opinion of h'^
fellows. There never was a time
.. ! mete piui- or omoo, mere tltU
to distinction, gave a man so li .1as
it does today .
The attention of the counrry is riv
eted upon wor?li rather than u,.on
position, ui>on *he means by whicl
an end has been attained tuin npor
aecumulation. That is a moat whole
some thing.
There has been a moral riv'va'. ;
sharpening of the sense of justice, i
clearer view of the man's obligatioi
to those around him, a trurer per
ception of the limits which a mar
should sot for himself in the pur
suit of his ambition, a quiet deter
mination on the part of the people
at large that no man shall overstei
those limits and bo faithless to his
obligation to the community as ?
whole and at the same time cijoj
the public respect. There is noth
ing in this country that is wortl
having which involves any forfeit
ure of that self-respect which con
ditions all true results and ever]
real achievement.

BIG DAMAGE SUIT
I MRS. MARCIA SILVER IS SUING
THE SOUTHERN ROAD.
Alleging that She Was Arrested anil
Searched Illegally by an Employee
? of the Railway.
Mrs. Marcia Silver of AugusM,
through her attorneys, c. H. and
1 R. S. Cohen, Saturday Hied a suit ;
1 for $r>,000 against the Southern
' Railroad for damages. She allege5!
in her petition that si e was illen
ally arrested by an employee of the
road at Branchvillo, S. C.
It is alleged In the petition I hat
Mrs. Silver was on her way from
Charleston to Augusta and at
Branchville, a lady stated that she
had lost $10. The night watchman
for the road charged Mrs. Silver's
little boy with having the money
and seached him and later searched
Mrs. Silver's suit case.
She alleged that she was subjected
to much embarrassment and that
she has been damaged to the extent
of $r?,000, and the suit against
the railway has been brought to recover
that amount. It will be tried
no doubt in the United States court
at Charleston or Columbia.
This case has been fully reported
in this paper before, and it will be
remembered that the money supposed
to have been lost was at last
found in the satchel of the young
iady who thought she had lost it
Tiie lady was a young school teacher
and was also passing through the
town of Branchville.
Sometime ago she published a
card in this paper giving her side
of the unfortunate affair, in which
she admitted substantially the facts
as set forth in Mrs. Silver's petition
but denied that any one had accused
that lady ? stealing the money. The
case is an interesting one and will
be watched with interest.

during the snow several weeks ago,
and was hit in the eye with a hard 1
snowball. She suffered intense pain

eye became very much inflamed and 1
bled profusely. Becoming alarmed *
the parents of the girl took her to '
