Charles Wacner, a Grand street drycoodi
denier, who lea prominent member of the Snm
Lynch Association, was able to hobble around
the east elde yesterday with tlio aid of a cane ,
& for the first tlmo since an excitlnc expcrlenco j
jfljV he had on tho night before the Fourth of July. !
Er How ho happened to cot In the firecracker's
V way hadn't boon known to most of his friends
f betoro thon, and he had been the object of I
W much eyrnpathy. It happened In this way: ,
Wagner waa paiilne the rooms of tho Lynch
Aasociatlon at Grand and Fast streets on Mon
day night when Bam Lynch, the stnndard
y be arer of the association, approached him. I
"Charlie." ho said, "we've been trying for i
over an hour to sot off this big ilreeraekor ,
under Pat Kehoe over there, but he Is on to us.
Ho won't suspect jou.nnd If you can do the ,
trick I will treat tho crowd. It will bo a great '
joke."
" Yes It will," said Wagner readily. "Just
give mo the crackor "
W 1th n lighted cigar in ono hand and tho fire
cracker in tho other, Wagner approached
Kehoe and engngcj him In conversation.
"I think it will bo it lino rourthof July, Pat,"
began Wagner.
,rKaitli an' It will." said Kohoe
' There will bo lots of explosions, Pat," said
Wacner.
" llegorra there will, and somobody will get
hurt and more frightened," answered Kohoo
" ies. somobody will get frightened,"
chuckled Wagner
Just thon hehoo turned around suddonlyto
look nt the crowd which hud gathered to see
tho cracker go off. Wagner, thinking that
Jvehoo suspeeiod his design, hurriedly shoved
the Mrowork Into the pocket of his outside coat
Nobody appears to know just how It hupponed.
but a moment later thero was an explosion
which tore away the Hide of Wagner's coat and
alnrge piece of his trousers, peeled the skin
from tho palm of his hand, and burned him
about the upper part of his right leg. An am
bulance was c died and Wagner was takon to
Oouverneur Hospital, where his wounds were
dressed. Ho was then sent home in h cab He
told his wife that night that some scoundrel
had put the crackor in his pocket.
"Do you know who ilia It V" asked Mra.
Wngnor.
" l es. I have nn Idea." said her husband.
"Why don't you linvo him arrestod then?"
heaskod
"Well, ho Is a pretty good fellow, and I
would hate to have him locked up," replied the
victim.
"Good fellow. Is ho? I think he's a scoun
drel, that's all I" exclaimed Mrs Wagner.
"Oh, Lord," said Wagner, "how I am suf
fering!" Soon afterward Wsgner'a brother-in-law
came In. "Charlie, who Is that fellow t" he
asked. "Just tell me his numn and I'll punch
hla head off."
"I won't tell you," said Wagner. "He's a
friend of niltiq "
" Mee friend "' said the brother.ln-law.
When Wignor appeared In the rooms of the
Lynch Association yesterday the first man to
meet him was lvehoe
"Charlie." ho said. "If I knew that man
phwat slnt off that dynamite cnrthrldge In yer
pocket O'ld give him the blst bateln' he Iver
got. 7 havo mo sympathy."
"Tor Heaven's sake don't tell Kohoe about
It." said Wagner nftorward to his friends.
Outside of my wlfeaiiU brother-in-law, he Is
the only man who extended any sympathy to
me, and I'm entitled to a little mitoauywny "
Hut tho story was passed nrouud, and Kehoe
toon heard It

A Difference of Opinion That Cnuiet Delay
i In Making Out the .schedule.
The Queens borough School Board Is en
deavoring to ndopt a salary schedule for teach
ers. The schedule should have been adopted
n month ago. Weekly conferences hnve been
held by the Finance and Teachers' commit
tees, but thty have been unable to agree upon
a report.
Tho Hoard of Superintendents of the bor
ough, consisting of Kdwnrd I,. Stevens, John
J. Chlckerlnc andllMward F Fncan caused the
first trouble. They notified the committees
that they would recommend no teachere un
less theZsnlailes for Queens borough wen at
hlch as those In Manhattan and Ilrooklvn.
The salary schedule Ia6t year oalltd for $OT,r,
J0O. This stand of the superintendents would
reuulre It to be raised to $750,000. The super
intendents declared that unless salaries were
equil in tho boroughs Queens borough would
get only those teachers which the other bor
oughs did not want. The Fiuanct Committee
finally nceepted tht proposition of the super
intendent! Sow tht committees are divided over two
propositions. F De lints Slmonson. Pretl
dint of the Queens borough hoard, and Fred
erick Pauley, Chairman of the Finance Com
mittee, advocate a schedule based entirely
upon tho Abeam bill. Thty dttirt to reckon
the tlmo the teachert tiiuaht In the district
sshools prior to consolidation to tho credit of
tht teachers and then give the teachers the
minimum salary prescribed by the Ahearn bill.
These men sav that such a schedule was
adopted for Manhattan nnd that this Is the only
kind ot a schedule the Centrnl board of Edu
cation will approve for Queent.
The other faction of the board it led by
George Mnurt of Klehmond Hill. He has pre
lared a schedule which takes Into considera
tion the iiuulltlcatlona of the teachtr. Thlt
kdiedule requires that instead of paying tno
minimum salary tho teachert thould be ad
vanced each year ns their work In the tchool
warrants. Two objections art ralttd to t til
pltn. It would make the talnrlts paid to the
teachers of Queens higher than those paid In
Manhattan. Tht Central Hoard would not
allow '.hit. Then every year thn whole salary
schedule would have to be reconstructed, and
this would give a cbanet for favorjtltm,
A majority and a minority report art likely to
be pretented to the board.

Remarkable Flight of the Onion Parlflo

Omaha from a lone chose after the tlx men
who held ud and dynamited the Union Paclflo
express train In Wyoming on June 2. Hans Is
both a railroad detective and n special agent ot
tht United Htatot Government. He started
after the robbers whttt they killed Sheriff
Haren. hit friend, In tho beginning ot tholr
flight. Speaking of tho txtraoidlnary chnso
Ham says:
"These men havt mad the most remark
able flight in tht criminal history of tho Woit.
They have travelled ovet l.fiOO nillts tlnco
committing the orlme nnd havo beentohnpcd
by ,'IOOor 400 men constantly, )ot thev es
caped. Time nnd again they have been sur
rounded by ten timet their numbor, yet by a
display of dospernte nerve and their knoTrlcdge
of woodcrnft they hnte managed each tlmo to
get nwny. They flrtt lied (o tht Hole-ln-the-Wall,
I found, but being so hard pressed and
having tuch a large reward un their heads
itlS.OOO) thev did not dare stop among their
aid outlnw company forfenrof being betrayed.
Thoy kept on into the Big Horn basin, then
turned back nnd retraced their steps thrctuh
the Powder River country Into Jackson's Ilolo,
the wildest nnd most desolate ttrctch of moun
talnoUh country In the West. Here the Indian
police under Baldwin got after them and
chnsed them toutn toward the I'tnli moun
tains, nnd it was here that they were com
pletely lost.
"In tht past I have hunted oti'ltivs prac
tically nlone. as 1 prefer that sort ot thing, but
this tlmo 1 found tint method ot little value,
slnco the whole country was aroused and everv
body wan on the lookout tor the nun. 1 know
Oeorgo Curry very well. It Is foolishness to
talk of that I audit boing taken nllve. Heard
his companions will never surrender. They
mav bt killed some day. but they have two
horseloads of smokeless ammunition, nud lu
their retreat could stnnd olT an nrmy I nevor
heard or fugitives making such n tight nnd
lllght. Nonolut these very men could havo
done It Of course, thty had tveiithlnc fixed
to rush bnitk to the Hole-Iii-tlio-Wall tlm m i
ment the trnin wns robbed, and they expected
tho chaso nftor them to stop there, ns It baa In
tho past. Ther were not prepared to have
the .National Guard ot tho State called out far
them. That accounts for tlio swltt time thov
made I found It very difficult to get Infor
mation about the men, The honest fnrmera
nnd runchmm of that section aro ntrald to In
form on them for fear of being killed for their
pains.
"Thoie tellows are the remnants of the most
daring outlnw hand In existence. I havo been
n scout, plainsman and detective in that psrt
of the West for twenty-five venrii, and I know
all those follows. I knew Curry, their 'tader,
when he was nn honest rancher. It was but
tea years ngo that he turned highwayman, nnd
since then he has been In n number of des
perate games. It wat he nnd hit gong that
held up tho Spoarflsli. S. D., Bank, when sev
eral ot them wero killed I believe this will
vervnenrlr wind them up. for they have got to
nut In .their arpearauce nt some town in the
West some day, and when they do they will be
shot down."

where Father Oberholzer formerly llttd, to

A complaint ot tlnnder wat lodgtd with
Bishop McQunld against Father Sinclair, and
the Bishop convened an ecclesiastical court,
which found Futlier Sinclair cullty of slander
ing his brother priest, nnd Imposed a S.'OO fine.
Father Sinclair appealed from this decision to
the Vatican authorities at Rome, and tho find
Ingt ot the ecclesiastical couit havo just bten

two technicalities first, that the procurator

A Story of Thrilling Interest, but Much In
Nerd ot Affidavit!.
Hero's tho latest entomological wonder
which throatons to outdo the kissing bug's
career of crimo. It Is told by n Brooklyn mnn.
It Is tho blcyelo bug. It furiously attacks
j w heclinen ns they speed along, oven though In
I so doing It sacrifices Itsolf, which Is ovldenco
of Its diabolical spirit. Thrco specimens turned
up yestordnyou tho Coney Island cyclo path,
and one of thorn caused tho liveliest kind of a
mlx-up. Thoorlglnnl victim was a mun named
Jackson, who wore a black-and-white sweater.
Ho was pedalling along In front ot a
group of wheelmen, travelling lu a pretty
solid phalanx down tho south-bound
path, and just after passing Mlnden's
h gave n yell, lot go his handlo-bars, clapped
his hands over his eye. and sprawled upon tho
path. Of eourso a dozen other wheelmen pre
cipitated thomtelves over him inacomblnn
tlon cataract. When tho mass disentangled
Itself nnd the blaok-and-whlto sweater again
camo to view Its owner was prostrate and still
clinging to his eye.
"I'm shot." ho moaned. "Call a doctor. Get
a policeman."
A hundred other bicyclists dismounted and
crowded around, nnd II any one had happened
to select a man who looked as if he might havo
fired the supposed shot, thero was material for
a mighty lively chasn. But tho shooting theory
w as spoiled by a negro who had been sitting on
a bench nearby.
"Dat wu'n't no bullet." ho explalnod, going
up to tho Injured mnn "Itwasabug. 1 steu
him come droppin' out o' dat tree an' tly right
Into yo' face I think ho dropped closo to,

Immediately an eager search was begun for
tho assailant. It was found under Jackson's
bicycle considerably knocked out ot shape, but
htill wiggling, It looked liken June bag. hut
was somewhat largor. and had a very hard
carapace Jackson, whose cyo waa swollen com
pletely closed, wrnpped the bug up In a pleoo of
paper and took It awny with him. He declined
to glvo his nddress to tho mounted policeman
who camo up to see what tho trouble was
about The attack might be regarded as
a blunder on the part of the bug '
rather than a case of malicious persecution
ot bicyclists, but a little later in thn afternoon
anolhei Insect answering to the description of
this one nssaulted a wheelman near the end of
the path, causing him to fall from his wheel
and bark his hhln He captured tlm bug and
took it to Bicycle Joe's, supiioslng It to bedead.
There he presented it to the young lady nt the
desk, hhe put It in the money drawer, and
then something occurred winch goes to show
that tho insect is not only murderous but
thievish aH well The young lady declares that
when site next opened the drawer the supposod
deceased emerged, bearing n $1 bill in Its
powerful jaws, and that when she snatched the
bill away. It fiercely battered hor face until she
fell to the floor, whereupon It flew out of the
door and disappeared.
The third specimen was captured byacoN
ored Instructor connected with one of the bl
cvcloncademles while ho was riding through
Prospect Park Ho saw It making a beelino
for him and att-ompted to dodge, but It caught
him betwein tlio eves nnd he dropped On
coming to himself he looked for the insect
and found It trying to gnaw a holn In his rear
