If any office seeker ever deserved a sound thrashing at the polls it is TEDDY ROOSE- VELT, who appears to have gone into the war more for a political purpose than from a sense of patriotism. After having won some celebrity in the Santiago campaign, as commander of the Rough Riders, the first use he makes of it is to secure the favor of boss PLATT as aspirant for the Republican nomination for Governor of New York. ROOSEVELT always posed as an opponent of PLATT’S machine practices, but he turns his back upon the Independents, among whom he was but recently a leader in opposition to the hoss system of politics, and contents to wear PLATTS collar as the price he is willing to pay for the nomina- tion which the hoss controls. This is suf- ficient to show ROOSEVELT in his true character and to tarnish his military lau- rels which were gathered with such great parade only to be prostituted for the favor of one of the most contemptible of Repub- lican bosses. The true character of this Rough Rider also appears in another incident. Since PLATT has put his brand on him objection was made to his nomination for the reason that he was not a resident of New York, which would make him ineligible. It ap- pears that when he was appointed assistant secretary of the navy he claimed to have changed his residence to Washington. Though the object of this claim was to ena- ble him to dodge the payment of taxes in New York, which he justly owed, it should be held as excluding him from citizenship in that State, unless he is willing to admit that he made affidavit to residence in Washington merely to escape his New York taxes, resor ting to perjury as a means of beating the State out of what was due it. When TEDDY is shown to be a character of this kind it is not surprising that he should be willing to bear the impress of PLATTS branding iron, if thereby he could secure the nomination for Governor. Another illus- tration of the degrading effect of the boss system. oS —————— Arnold Was Nominated The Republican congressional conferees for the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania dis- trict met at DuBois, on Thursday evening, to go through the formality of placing W. C. ARNOLD, of that place, in nomination for Congress. When he defeated CLEMENT DALE in the contest for the conferees from Centre county his nomination was assured, as be had already had the endorsement of Clearfield and Clarion counties. The nomination was a formality that had to be observed and in addition to such deference to political usages it gave the new Napoleon of Centre county Republi- canism an opportunity to preside and vote for a man whose nomination he had so strenuously opposed at a former con- ference. Clearfield, Centre and Clarion voted for ARNOLD, Elk voted for DOLLIVER and Forest voted for Cook. SE —— ——BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, who ap- pears to be the smartest colored man whom that race has ever produced, has confirmed the belief of many in his superior intelli- gence by using plain language with which to rebuke his fellows for their ignorant pre- sumption in wanting to fill high places be- fore they are competent to fill humble ones creditably. He says: “Our race is in too big a hurry. The preachers want the ti- tle of D. D. before they know divinity. Almost every graduate in the English course must be addressed as ‘professor.’ We want a biography before we have lived. Some want to take Latin and Greek who do not know the personal pronoun in Eng- lish. Some want postoffices who do not know how many stamped envelopes cost 11 cents. Go to the farm, stick to the farm. We do not want to govern the country un- til we learn to govern the home.” i ——— ——The Clinton-Lycoming-Potter-Tioga congressional conferees met in Williams- port, on Saturday, and named J. F., STRIE- BY Esq., of that city, as thé Democratic nominee for Congress. A. G. GRUGAN, of Clinton, was the only other aspirant for the honor, but he made no contest in the The Sale of Post Offices. That the machine leaders, and particu- larly the boss, are becoming disturbed by the progress which the Democratic reform- ers are making in the campaign is evidenc- ed by the uneasiness they are showing. For example QUAY shows his alarm by his resorting to the language of the hlack- guard in declaring that Mr. SOWDEN, the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Gov- ernor, ‘‘lied like a dog’’ in saying that he (Quay) had sold post offices in Lehigh county. This was an unnecessary display of black- guardism on the part of the machine boss, who assumed to be indignant over a charge | different from that which Mr. SOWDEN made. While it may not be shown that QUAY has been directly engaged in selling post offices, there is evidence that the sale of post offices is part of the corrupt system by which QUAYism maintains its power, the henchmen of the boss being the agency hy which this corruption is practiced, and that is just what Mr. SOWDEN said : That gentleman, in the following rejoin- der, makes sufficient answer to the black- guard term which QUAY applies to him : “I never charged that Matthew Stanley Quay went into my district and personally entered into a barter and sale of the federal post-offices or any other office, but my charge was that his henchmen, who are doing his work in every county in the State where they have no Congressmen, are selling, at least in my county, postoffices to those peo- ple who pay them the highest possible price.’ This is substantially the same charge that JOHN WANAMAKER has made against QUAY, and proved the practice of such bar- pointment. Such corrupt transactions are a part of the machine system, and as Quay has control of the federal appointments in this State such post office sales can not take place without his knowledge and consent. Mr. SOWDEN was fully justified in charg- ing the maching boss with being responsi- ble for the corrupt sale of post offices. —— It Can Do But Little Harm. The amount of service the Philadelphia Times may be able to render the QUAY ma- chine by the ‘green goods’ game it is playing in supporting SWALLow, will de- pend upon the number of Democrats it may fool into voting for the Prohibition candidate for Governor. It cannot be believed that the Times has any concern for the Prohibition cause, and there can be no other conclusion than that, for a purpose designed to serve its own in- terest, it proposes to act the stool pigeon by using the remnant of its Democratic reputation as a decoy that may mislead Democrats to vote in a way that will bene- fit the Republican boss. Fortunately for the cause of better gov- ernment in this State there is so little left of the Times’ influence with Democrats that the injury it may do the Democratic state ticket by its deceptive advocacy of SWAL- Low will be imperceptible. a more honorable nor conscientious man for the war probing board that Gen. Bea- VER is. It is a matter of pride to this community that our towhsman has been called upon to act with that important commission and it is our hope that the General will deviate neither for fear nor fa- vor but go straight to the source and find out who has heen guilty of the atrocities practiced upon our citizen soldiery. Gen- eral BEAVER has an opportunity to do his country a great and valiant service.

Brady, archdeacon of the Protest- ant Episcopal diocese of eastern Pennsylva- nia and chaplain of the First regiment, Pennsylvania volunteers, in a sermon to. night severely criticized the managenient of the volunteer camps which were under his supervision at Chickamauga, where his regiment was stationed for a long time. He said the medical, commissary, quarter- master and ordinance departments were all to blame, and continued thus : . ‘I personally saw men left in camps for thirty-six hours without any medical at- tendance whatever. “I saw men in those hospitals suffering from fever with the rain beating down up- on them. ‘I saw men committed to the care of un- skilled attendants, when it was absolutely impossible for them to receive anything like the attention they deserved. “I saw men suffering from fever, lying with their mouths open and their mouths filled with flies.” In conclusion the archdeacon said : “I wonder if I dare, being still in the govern- ment service, say more. There is much more that might be told if it were proper for me to tell it, but perhaps this will suf- fice. I had not intended to touch upon this phase of our experiences at all, but when I think that these things have taken place in this, the richest, greatest, and pre- sumably, the most advanced nation on the face of the earth, I cannot hold my peace.” The reverend speaker also said that the officers of the First regiment had done everything possible to alleviate the condi- tion of the men. — Reduced Rates to Harrisburg via Penn- sylvania Railroad, Account Christ- fan Endeavor State Convention.

The six brothers formed a co-partner- ship, and with the “Big Three’, Philip, Thomas and Peter, who were thas styled because of their immense stature, each man standing over six feet in his stockings, al- ‘ ways in the lead, sought fortune through honest toil.

The pall bearers were P. Gray Meek, Jos- eph Ceader, C. M. Parrish, Joseph L. | Montgomery, John Potter, Wm. Lyon, D. | Judge and Dr. George F. Harris. Thomas Collins was horn in Munster, | Cambria county, March 8th, 1824. He was | the son of Peter and Sarah Collins who had emigrated to that locality several years pre- vious to his birth. The vicinity of Munster was then known as the Irish Settlement in the State and was nothing more than a wild and untilled mountain region, with a few log houses in which the hopeful settlers lived, while they tried to clear tracts of land for agriculture. Thomas was the second child of a family of eleven children. They were Philip, who died in Ebensburg, in February, 1895 ; Thomas, James, Neal, Peter, John, two sisters who died in early life, Ellen, now Mrs. Edward Shoemaker, Elizabeth and Sarah, the latter two being unmarried and have made their home with their brother in this place during the en- tire time of his residence here. After the family was well grown up they moved to Ebensburg, which place has been regarded as their ancestral home ever since. The elder Collins were poor but thrifty people and having such a large family the boys all learned very early in life what hard work is. Thomas found very little time for school, bust the bit of learning he was able to pick up during the four months term of district school, they had those days, stood him in good stead and his natural intelligence improved upon it until he was regarded in the community as a young man of superior knowledge. He worked on his father’s farm until he secured a position as a clerk in a store at Wilmore, Cambria county, being only thirteen years old at that time. Though his wages were small he saved nearly everything he earned and was able to help his father out of several finan- cial straits brought on by unprofitable con- tracts. In addition to farming the elder Collins did various kinds of contract work and it was not long until the boys were associated with their father in business of a more extensive nature than their little farm. The first contract the father took was on the Lewistown and Bellefonte turn- pike in this county. The second one was the pike running from Newry into Holli- daysburg and it was while working on this that he traded a wheel-barrow for the lot of ground on which the First National bank of Hollidaysburg now stands. In addition to the lot he got enough stone off of it to macadamize the road he was building. With these small ventures as the school, Tom Collins early showed an aptitude for con. tracting and as the march of progress in the early part of the present century opened up | Western, a field for broad guage and pushing men, the Collins, equal to the emergency, be- { Tyrone and Clearfield, Ebensburg, Penna. of the Pennsylvania railroad. tion with his brothers he did In connec- Valley road, almost as much on the Read- ing systems and had contracts for large sec- tions of the heaviest work on the Beech Creek, and Clearfield and Mahoning roads. The celebrated Sand Patch tunnel, near Cumberland, was one of their greatest and most successful undertakings. Hundreds of thousands of dollars had been spent and Inauy prominent contractors lost fortunes in their attempts to build it before the Col- lins took charge and brought the enter- prise to a successful completion. In their work as contractors the Collins brothers, Philip, Thomas and Peter, made and lost several large fortunes but the most disastrous blow was met with in South America. Early in "77 “The Big Three’ se- cured the contract from the English govern- ment for the building of the Maderia and Mamore railroad in Brazil. With a cargo of supplies, railroad iron and several hun- dred workmen, the “Metropolis, ’’ a vessel chartered for their use, left Philadelphia about the middle of the summer. When off Cape Hatteras the vessel encountered a hurricane and was wrecked, going to the bottom with everything on board, few of the workmen and crew escaping to tell the tale of horror. Nothing. daunted by the severe loss sustained in the destruction of their vessel, the Collins at once set about to carry out their contract. The “Richmond, another large vessel, was chartered and with another load of supplies and 437 work- men on board, Thomas departed for the South late in the Fall of 1877, Peter follow- ing him in the course of a few months. One year or more was spent in the tropics of Brazil, a year depicted as one of untold sufferings by all. The work being push- ed as rapidly as possible, when the English government refused payment and the Col- lins quit work. Rich men when they went south they came home penniless. Every cent they possessed was spent in meeting the obligations involved in this nundertak- ing. On their return to the United States Thomas Collins went to England and there instituted Proceedings against the govern- ment in an effort to recover for the work done, but his efforts proved futile. Although broken in health and almost penniless they were not discouraged, but at once went to work and in a short time were again engaged in filling large railroad contracts in this country, and in a measure retrieving their fallen fortune. In 1886 the Collins brothers came to Bellefonte and began the construction of the Buffalo Run railroad, a short branch designed to open up new iron ore deposits, and owned en- tirely by themselves. TLate in the same Greenshurg and other branches over three; million dollars worth of work on the Lehigh | | wear they purchased a tract of land near the town and thereon erected a large blast furnace. The furnace was blown in during the winter of 1887-88 and continued in operation about three years, when, because of the low price of iron, it was closed down. In this investment the Collins again lost money. From the time they came to Bellefonte, in 1886, Thomas made this place his permanent home. The next railroad contract in which Thomas Collins figured prominently, was the building of the Glenn Falls, N. Y., branch of the Lehigh Valley a few years ago, this was followed by the building of a portion of the Pittsburg, Buf- falo and Rochester. Tn 1896 he built the large Kittaning Point reservoir for the city of Altoona. 4s a firm the Collins have been justly call- ed the ‘Kings of Contractors’ it is general- ly conceded that during their lives they have built more miles of railroad than any other firm in the United States. There is no definite knowledge of the exact extent of their work, but a careful estimate places it in the thousands of miles. In all their career as contractors and employers of large bodies of men, they never had a strike among their employees or any labor diffi- culty of any kind. Though railroad building was the busi- ness that Tom Collins seemed to know by instinet, his thoughts often turned to issues of a different sort. He was always more or less active in politics, not for personal gain nor elevation, but merely for the satis- faction of seeing his principles successful. Iu 1871 he conceived the idea of starting an independent Democratic paper in Phila- delphia and persuaded his brother Philip that there would be money in such an en- terprise. Accordingly they tried to pur- chase the Philadelphia Press, but John W. Forney’s absence in Europe made a sale of that paper impossible, so they made over- tures for the purchase of the Age. They secured it and with the-aid of the late Frank McLaughlin began the publication of the Times. Later Col. A. K. McClure was taken in and John McLaughlin was persuaded to join the company. Tom Col- lins, while the instigator of the enterprise, never had more than a nominal interest in it. ’ Politically the Collins have all been Democrats, but as a politician Thomas Collins figured more prominently, perhaps, than any of his brothers: He was elected to the Legislature from Cambria county, serving in the session of 1852. He was a national dalegate ‘to the Chicago conven- tion which nominated Cleveland - in 1892, (and an attendant and advisor at almost every state convention that has'been held within the Commonwealth for thirty years past. In 1896 he was nominated agains his wishes by the re-convened Democratic state convention for Congressman-at-Large, and suffered defeat with the rest of the ticket at the November election. Though his active: appearance in- political life is em- bodied ‘in the above, Thomas Collins was always a true-blue: Demoerat of the Jeffer- sonian type. He was: prominent in most of the local and: state ‘political councils, and his advice was universally considered the very pith of wisdom. He was also a liberal contributor for campaign purposes, as well as a hard worker for the success of his party ticket. 3 He was married to Miss Ellen Murray, of Harrisburg, but she died about ten years ago without issue. Deceased was seventy- four years of age, but was possessed of such rare vigor and indomitable energy that up to the time of his recent ‘illness he did not appear to be near that old. Surviving him are his sisters, Mrs. Ellen Shoemaker and Misses Sarah and Elizabeth Collins, all of Bellefonte, and Peter Col- lins, of Philadelphia. Hon. Thomas F. Bayard is Dead. He Died at Half Past 4 O'clock Wednesday After- noon at His Daughter's Residence.—His Death Without Pain—The Remains Will Be Conveyed to Delaware and the Funeral Services Will Be Held Saturday in the Old Swedish Church at Wilming- ton—His Wonderful Constitution Showed Great Vitality. DEDHAM, Mass., Sept. 28.—Thomas F. Bayard died at half past 4 o'clock this af- ternoon at Karlstein, the summer residence of his daughter, Mrs. Samuel D. Warren, after an illness of six weeks. His death was without pain. His ‘wife, his two daughters, Mrs. Warren and Miss Florence Bayard, and his son, Thomas F., Jr., saw him draw his last breath, and his third daughter, the Countless Lauenhaupt, was on her way to Dedham. The remains will be conveyed to Dela- ware and the funeral seavices will be held Saturday in the old Swedish church. at Wilmington. Karlstein lies off ‘the Dedham road. Here, about the middle of August, came Mr. Bayard to be the guest of his daughter and son-in-law. He was sick, but it was given ous that his illness was merely due to declining years. He steadily grew weaker, however, and had spells of semi- unconsciousness and of delirium. A con- sultation of physicians was held on Aug. 26th and they agreed that Mr. Bayard was suffering from artorie-colorosis and a gen- eral breaking down, incident to age. He suffered no pain to any noticeable degree and the chief tendency was to sleep. Daring the first few weeks of his illness Mr. Bayard was able to sit up, but as the days passed he became gradually weaker, and three weeks ago he laid himself on his bed and never again rose from it. At times he would rally to some extent, but the relapse carried him always nearer to the end. His wonderful constitution re- sisted the ravages of disease for a surprising period. Much of the time he was in a semi-conscious condition, seldom recogniz- ing any of the family, and at intervals hav- ing sinking spells, accompanied by choking. These left him always weaker. Yesterday it became evident that Mr. Bayard’s death was a matter of only a few hours. Still he lingered, having a slight rally during the night and during the fore- noon his condition showed little change. At 4 o’clock he began to sink rapidly and a half an hour later he gently passed away. To-morrow the body will be sent to Dela- ware, being due to arrive at Wilmington late Friday afternoon.
