TEACHER HURT IN AUTOACCIDENT PROF. HOWARD MARSTELLER THROWN INTO POLL SHORTSTOP FOR MAIL BAGS. If You Can Invent a Good One Uncle Sam Will Pay You Well. The government wants a device for delivering the mail bags from swift trains without injury to the mail. "A big fortune awaits the inventor of such a scheme," says the Second Assistant Postmaster General.

A substitute for twine iu wrapping the mail will also enrich the one who is ingenious enough to devise such a thing, says Harper's Weekly. Men with brains have been experi- 1 ON THE FLAGSTAFF MOUNTAIN One Woman Was Instantly Killed, a Girl Fatally Hurt and a Third Person Crippled For Life in Attempting to Escape Collision. Frightened by the prospect of a collision with a trolley car which they saw approaching them on a stretch of single track on -the Flagstaff Mountain, near Mauch Chunk, three women jumped from the car on which they were riding only to be crushed beneath the wheels of their car. One woman was instantly killed, a young girl was so badly injured that she died seven hours later, and a third woman crippled for life, probably fatally hurt. The accident occurred at about 2.45 o'clock on Saturday afternoon.

The car had left Mauch Chunk a quarter of an hour before, and, but a few minutes before, had passed the first turnout. At this place there is a target system, which, however, Motor man Adam Daffner, of the passenger car, is said not to have used, evidently not expecting to meet another car. Less than a quarter of a mile beyond, he met a construction car, coming down the mountain side, on a grade which made it impossible to avert a collision except by Daffner's prompt reversing of power and backing down. This he did, but not before the passengers had seen the approaching car. Instantly they saw the apparent danger, a small-sized panic ensued among the two score of passengers.

Cooler heads among them managed to quiet some and prevent their jumping from the car, but quite a number did jump, some safely, while two Jumped to their death and a third leaped to apparent safety only to become crippled for life. The three jumped from the car towards the mountain side. Unable to get a hold on the embankment or get their balance, they rolled directly onto the tracks, underneath the car from which they had just leaped. Instantly their cries reached the ears of Daffner, he brought his car to a standstill, and the construction car, which by this time, had been brought down to a very slow 'speed, simply touched the passenger car, not even jarring a single one of those who had retained their nerve and their seats. The whole occurrence occupied less than a minute's time.

Willing hands quickly set to work to release the unfortunate victims of their own acts. One woman had been crushed across the body, and was evidently instantly killed. This was a Mrs. Ford, of Newark, N. who, with her little granddaughter had been spending several weeks with the family of William Heiny, of Upper Mauch Chunk, as summer boarders.

No more is known of her name than is given above, at Mauch Chunk. Her husband was expected to arrive yesterday, to accompany her to their home. The granddaughter, who was with her on the car, was restrained from jumping to almost certain death by another passenger. Miss Mary Cunningham, an adopted daughter of James McNulty, of Mauch Chunk, had her right leg so badly mashed at the hip that her condition was at once regarded as critical. With Miss Boyle, she was rushed, to St.

Luke's Hospital, where, despite every attention and all in the power of surgical science, she diedat 10 o'clock Saturday night. Miss Cunningham has relatives in this city, among them Mrs. John McFadden. of No. 321 Ridge avenue.

She was 16 years of age. Miss Annie Boyle, aged 22 years, of Lansford, was one of a party of young people from that place who intended spending the afternoon and evening on the Flagstaff mountain. Her left foot was severed by the wheels, just below the knee. For a time after, she arrived at St. Luke's, fears were en tertained that she might not survive the shock and tho loss of blood, but late last night her condition was reported as good, under the circum-! stances, and, should she continue to hold her own, an operation will be performed to-day.

The accidents, while due, in part to the acts of the people themselves In jumping from the car, are attributed' to Motorman Daffner's entering the block without throwing his target. At, the present time, the matter is an i open question. Some one forgot to throw the target either uanner or Motorman William Hatrick, of the construction car. Passengers on the car have stated that Daffner did not throw his target, while It is possible that the other man bad also entered the block without taking the proper precaations The remains of Mrs. Ford were!

Heffner. These were precious seasons of grace. The morning sermon was preached bv Bishop W. F. Heil, of Highland Park, 111., on the subject of missions.

He chose for his text Matt. 10-32. Theme, "The sending out of the disciples." 1 They were to have power to heal, drive out evil spirits, etc. 2. They would have trials and temptations and needed power.

3 They were to go empty-handed. 1 There are two divisions in the Kingdom of God. The one on earth, the other in heaven. Jesus is in the kjngdom of heaven, but gives power to earth that there may be communion between the two kingdoms. II.

He wants confession to give testimony to fellowmen. This confession declares, 1 That Jesus is Lord: 2, This Jesus saves from sin; 3, This Jesus comes again. III. The confession should be verbal, but only for the glory of God. IV.

This confession opens the heart to do all for the kingdom. Man will meet opposition to give testimony, but Jesus gives power to meet thi3 opposition. Dr. A. C.

Shank Hurt. Four people were injured In a run away accident at Nell's, yesterday one so badly that Be has not yet re covered consciousness fully, and is iu a serious condition at the Allentown Hospital.

Bachman, At tornev Charles Kaennle and Mrs. John Shank, a cousin of Mr. Kaepple The party left Allentown at about 10 o'clock yesterday morning, driving two of Newhard's horses in a double seated surrey. All went wdell until the party reached the hill near Neff's, when, in some manner, the right horse became entangled In the harness. This frightened the horse, and caused both to start away on mad dash down the hill.

The surrey caught in a gutter at the side of the road, tumbling the occupants out ail smashing the rig. Mrs. Bachman was caught in the lines and dragged a short distance, while her husband lay where he fell, unconscious. He had struck his head on a stone. Mr.

Kaepple and Shank, who had occupied the rear seat, escaped more fortunately. Picking themselves out of the wreck of the carriage, the less injured members of the party immediately did what they could to assist the others. A physician was summoned, who temporarily dressed the injuries of the party, and, realizing the seriousness of Mr. Bachman's condition, directed that he be brought to the Allentown Hospital. Mr.

Bachman, when he saw what was coming, had leaped from his seat in the carriage. At the hospital it was learned that Bachman sustained a fracture near the base of the skull, with concussion of the brain. He was semi-conscious at 6 o'clock last evening, but no further improvement has been noticed in his condition, which is regarded as critical, although there are chances for his recovery. In addition, he has severe bruises about the body. Mrs.

Bachman had her clothes badly torn and suffered numerous body bruises and lacerations of the face and hands. Mr. Kaepple iu badly bruised about the right side, and his right hand is badly lacerated.

After a fair test the Maryland state bureau of immigration finds its efforts to supply the farmers of this state with laborers by assisting immigrants unsatisfactory. August F. Trappe, secretary of the bureau, spent three months of last winter In Europe and succeeded In bringing 265 laborers here and placing tliein on Maryland farms. It is found, however, that they do not remain loug in the positions given them, and the bureau seems unable to trace them for any length of time after they leave their first place of employment. The fact that farm laborers do not receive even moderately high pay in this state is held to be In large measure responsible for the failure of the plan.

Every day tuousands of mail sacks are thrown from such trains onto the platforms of stations where it is impossible to make stops.

The mail bags are not infrequently forced under the wheels of the fast-flying train by suction or the wind, ground to pieces, and the mail that is not entirely destroyed is scattered broadcast. At the best the mail bags get the roughest kind of handling and much of the mail becomes damaged. The government has beeu for years hunting in vain for a practical device for catching these flying mail bags. A simple hook device has for many years been in use whereby the mail bags are taken aboard a fast train Without injury. A scheme just the reverse has been experimented with for delivering them, but discharging a 200-pound bag being too great to be withstood by a device of this kind.

So the government is willing to pay a big price for the use of a patent which solves the problem. The Postoffice authorities are also looking out for a good substitute for Jute twine. Iu every postoffice in the country letters are wrapped up and tied with twine on being made ready for delivery. The government lias to pay out hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for this cord. All kinds of substitutes have been offered, but none have proved entirely satisfactory.

A great many Inventors have made devices for bundling up the letters, but they have all failed before the test of quickly untyiug them. A good fastener which can be disposed of instantly, and at a cost less than twine will be worth a million to the inventor. Whatever this device may be, it will have to be of stuff that can be severed as quickly as a snap of the scissors on twine, for time iu the handling of mail counts. TO ENTERTAIN A REGIMENT. But Few, However, of the Fifteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry Are Left.

Philadelphia, Aug. 18.

The survivors have met here annually for thirty-four years, and General Talmer attended but one reunion. He signified his Intention of attending this year's reunion, but he fell from a horse and broke his leg and, being unable to attend, conceived the idea of entertaining his comrades at bis home. Realizing the expenses of the trip might be beyond the means of many, Geueral Palmer Insisted upon defraying the entire cost of the reunion. It Is estimated that the trip will cost General Paltnei more than $50,000. The Teterans travel In a special train.

It will stop at Harrisburg, where two veterans will be picked up; at Altoona for four and at Pittsburg, where two more Pullmans will be attached to the train with sixty-two veterans on board. Six members of the regiment will be taken aboard the train in Ohio, two in Indiana and twelve in Chicago. BREAK INTO JAIL Thirsty Ohio Men Go After Liquor Police Had 8eized. Pittsburg, Aug. 18.
