When the convention o! represent atives of the school boards of cities of the third class met at Williamsport recently for the purpose of discussing legislation needed by the public schools, they decided upon certain matters which they desired incorpora ted in an act to be presented to the present Legislature. After thoroughly discussing the matter they appointed a committee, of which Walter C. Gilmore, Esq., of Williamsport, is the chairman, to pre pare a bill which should embody their action and be presented to the Legis lature with their sanction and en dorsement. Mr. Gilmore consulted with the committee, with the state superin tendent of schools, and with Repre sentative Troxell, and as a result the bill which 13 now ready has the appro bation of these gentlemen.

WASHIUQTOS. Wall paper from 4c to 40c a roll at Mercer's Drug & Book Store. TALMAR- Miss Catharine Faus has returned to her parent's home, Mr. W. P. Faus, after being absent four years. She left her home, which was in Monte Vista, Cal., a few days ago visiting certain cities as she came East. After spending a delightful day in Denver she came to Lincoln, Nebraska; from this city she came through northern Nebraska, after leaving the main line, and here saw that beautiful country which is very attractive at this season of the year. After a few days of a very enjovable visit there she pursued her journey to the city of Omaha, thence to Chicago, where a day was almost an hour in looking at its size and giandeur. From thete she came to Penna., where she spent two days with her brother, who is located at , thence to her parent's home in Talmar. We surely welcome sister Fans and are grateful for her piesence alter so long a period of absence. Absolutely tui?E Makes the food more delicious and wholesome WOVAL RAKINO POWOtn CO., NEW YORK. Continued from 4th Tnp;e He explains the lack of progress on the island by stating the ease with which its natural products support the natives without work. This may be true, but it doesn't exactly square with the cabled de parture of 400 Porto Rican laborers for Hawaii, where they hope to make a better living than they have been able to do at home, which appeared in the papers at the same time that Gov. Alley's report did. There are come queer stories be ing told around Washington about attempts to manipulate the report of the Isthmian Canal Commission, which i9 expected to be completed in five or six weeks. The prelim inary report which was sent to Con gress last winter.it will be remember ed was strongly in favor of the Nica ragua route for the canal. Accord ing to these stories, attempts are being made to have the full report modify the declarations in favor of the Nicaragua route so as to make it appear that the commission re gards the Nicaragua and Panama routes as equally feasible, from an engineering point of view, and to get something into the report about the alleged political disadvantages of the former. All the members of the commission are gentlemen of honorable standing as well as of eminence in their profession and it is not believed for a moment that they will knowingly allow them selves to be used by the Panama lobby in any such manner. The Commission is already committed to the engineering advantages of tlie Nicaragua route, and with the political aspect they have nothing whatever to do, and for them to even touch upon it in their report would .be not only bad taste but going outside of their duties. - Special Notice to our Customers.

Bean the J ' "0 Mill TOU H3VB Always BOUgW TERRIFIC CRSSH It A SHARP CURVE Two HeaTlly Loaded Cars on the Albany-Hndann Line Come To gether at a Forty Mile Gait. Both Motoriuen Dead. ALBANY, May 27. Electric cars rac ing for a switch while running in oppo site direction)) nt a rate of 40 miles an hour cost five lives yesterday afternoon by a terrific collision, while over 40 prom inent people, gome fatally and others seri nusly Injured, fill the Occident winds of the various hoKpitnls, with the possibility of other deaths. The lobby of the local postoflire filled with dead and wounded, hysterical women und children looking for relatives and friends, surKeoiiH ad lninlsterinir t pornry relief and ambu lances racing through the city tuklng the wounded to hospitals were the early in timations of the must terrible electric Hue accident ever heard of in this locality. The scone of the accident was a point about two miles out of (ireenhush, on the line of the Albany and Hudson rail way, a just completed road of the third pattern. The point where the cars met on tlie single track was at a iJinrp curve, and so fast wen- both running and so sudden was the collision that the motor men never hail lime to put on the brakes before south hound car .No. L"J had gone almost clean through north bound car No. ", with human llesli for a buffer, and hung on the edge of a high bluff with its load of chrii'kiug, maimed hu manity. One motorinuu wuh pinioned up against the smashed trout of the south bound car, with both lees severed anil Killed instantly, while the other lived but a few minutes. Fully 1 UK men, women and children funned u huge, struggling, shrieking pyr amid, mixed with blood, detached por tions of human bodies and the wreckage of the cars. Some of the more slightly injured of the men, extricating them selves from the quivering mass, began to pull people out of tlie rear ends of the two cars, and almost every one extricated in this way was badly injured. The scenes were heartrending. With both inotormen killed it was hard to get at the real cause of tlie uecident, but it Is pretty well determined that it was caused by an attempt of tlie south bound car to reach a second switch In stead of waiting for the uorth bound car Bt the first sidii:j.
