8 THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURO, PA. THUKSIAY, MAY iR, 1905. THE STATE TO AID SUU Board ol Health Will Help Boroughs and Townshipi In Need. The act passed by the last legis lature for its object the suppression of epidemics, the prevention of dis ease ond the protection of human beings and which a few days ago received the approval of Gover nor Pennypscker, is favorably commented upon by the medical profession The bill gives financial assistance during epidemics and in so doing makes it possible for bankrupt boroughs and town ships to take immediate steps id prevent the spread of the disease. Although the appropriation that has been made is not large tt is believed that it will be sufficient to demonstrate the benefit of such nil act. The csKtiitlal portions of the act are as follows: "That the sum of $30,000 )?. O.ttd the same is hereby npucifically appropriated and set apart out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated tor the purpose of creating an emergency fund to be used as occasion may require by the State Board of Health in the suppression and the prevention of disease and the protection ol human life in times of epidemic diseases beyond the ability ot the local authorities to check. "The money herein appropriated shall be held in the treasury of tie commonwealth and whenever the secretary of the State Board of Health shall find that the public Iheahh is threatened, either by epi demic or as a result of great disaster to such an extent that Uie local authorities are unable to meet the emergency, he shall prepare a state ment to that effect rehearsing all the facts in the case and the reason for considering that state aid is needed and to wlut amount, and transmit the same to the governor. "If the statement anci the reasons therein set forth shall meet with the approv. 1 of the governor he shall certify and file statement and certi ficate of approval in the olhce of the auditor gentral who shall then draw his warrant upon the state treasurer for the amount approved of by the governor and place the same in the hands of the treasurer of the State Board of Health, to be used for the purpose set forth in the statement approved of as aforesaid, and for no other purpose. "If, after the said epidemic shall have been suppressed or the sick ness or danger averted, there shall still be a balance of the amount druwn left in the hands of the treasurer, he shall without delay retuin the same to the state treas urer and it shall become apart of the said emergency fund. He shall also file with the auditor general a specifically itiemized statemett made under oath of the expenditure of the said moneys as sooti as pos sible." Court House Heating. Last fall the county commission ers believed that they could save money for the county by installing a steam heating plant in the court house. The cost of steam beat would have been $960.00 if taken from the Steam Co. Up to this time the entire cost of the heating apparatus, and the coal has been $1084.19, and a little coal still on hand. The lieat has been entirely satisfactory. This was a wise move on the part of the commis sioners, as the saving is such that at the present time the plant stands the county but $124.19. The coal last winter cost $379.52, so that next winter the heat will cost $501.71, after saving the entire cost of the plant. After that the cost of steam heat for the court house will be $379.00 as against $960 under the old plan.

Two urchins appeared at the post office window the other even ing and the larger of the two was handed a package by the clerk on which was a label reading "Taper ing Waist Kffect." "Let's see it," said the smaller urchin as he made a grab for the box; "Nit," said the other, "you don't get a look at this," it's mamma's and she don't want any one to know she's got it. A fashion item says the jewel ed hosiery is now the correct thing. Until the next windy day it will not be known if the fad has yet struck the Bloomsburg smart set. There was a hunch of wise guys in attendance at the base ball game on Normal Field ' Saturday afternoon who thought it was smart to hoot, jeer and scoff at the best endeavors of the visiting players. S'wnc of the remarks were entirely uncalled for and decidedly uubecom ing. Be it said to his shame tl gray in the hair of one who apnea ed to be on the aggressive wonld seem to indicate that he is old enough to know better. This port of thing is robbing Bloomsburg of the reputation which it has so long enjoyed of being a square town. The Normal management was ob viously displeased and hopes that the patrons of the game will desist in the future. Even to those who are but little interested in the outcome, the agita tions of the political pot are most apparent just now. The heat of the contest tor the various offices compels a struggle on the part of every candidate, and every district of the county is being thoroughly canvassed. Ordinarily at this stage with the delegate election only three weeks distant, one can see the signs of a certain candidate's pop ularity ou the sin lace, but not so in this instance. As one leading democrat expressed himself on Tuesday: "This is a still hunt. Appearances are delusive. Every body is working and working hard. I've tried to keep tabs on the situa tion but must confess that I'm at sea, in .so far as the probable win ners aie concerned. The voters are not saying much and I'm in cunea to tnint mat there is going to De some surprises." Hustling down Main street the other day a man stopped us and said we did not publish all the news, that is, all that happened. We should say we don't. If we pub lished all that happened we would soon be with the angels. In order to please the people we must print only the nice thiugs said of them and leave the rest to gossip. Yes it's a fact, we don't print all the news. If we did would'nt it make spicy reading? But it would be for one day only. The next day you would read our obituary, and there would be a new face in another world. "All the news" is all right when its about the other fellow. Reckless Automobilists- Josepb Cowan, E.K. Freas and S. D. Cole of Bloomsburg, who made the century run on Sunday via Bloomsburg, Ha.leton, Tainaqua Hiid Pottsville, caused a team be longing to David Bartlett to run away. He was driving in Conyng ham and the automobilists ap proached without any warning from behind and frightened the horse. It ran from the roadway, und the to of the carriage coming in con tact with the low branches of a tree was torn off and the harness dam aged. Fortunately no one was in jured. Although the men in the auto saw the result of their reck less speeding they did not even slow down. Mr. Bartlett is trying to learn the license number of the nuto, and if successful will bring suit against the owner. Mr. Bart lett is brother-in law ot Council man Coburu.

NAN PATTERSON IEEE. Released From Tombs and Left (or Wash ington Friday Afternoon. Nan Patterson, the one time Floradora show girl, was released from the Tombs prison at New York on Friday, after almost a year within its walls, awaiting a deter mination of the charge that she had murdered her protector, Caesar J. Young, a race bookmaker. She left for Washington at 3:25 o'clock iu the afternoon. She was loudly cheered .by a crowd of 2,000 persons as she left the piison. Her release was made at the in stance of District Attorney Jerome, who said he did not believe another trial would result other than in a disagreement. At the same time he declared that there had been a serious miscarriage of justice. He said many of the newspapers had labored to create sympathy for the girl.

The skin was remai kably well preserved and there is no mistaking that it was that of a man's hand, as all ol the fingers are distinct and the nail on one of them is intact. The hand was evidently a large one. None of the fingers, apparently, had worn a ring. It is hard to account for the man ner iu which the skin was torn from the hand. There are no particles of flesh whatever adhering to it and the skin shows no signs of having been burned. Tersons early on the scene picked up numerous valuables, which, for the most part, were returned to their owners when possible. One patrolman picked three gold watches out of the debris. It is believed that there were but few cases of theft, although negroes and for eigners are said to have attempted to go through the clothing of some of the dead before daylight. Responsibility for the disastrous wreck will in all probability be laid at the door of the Federal bill pass ed, against the protest of railroad managers three years ago, requiring air brakes upon fifty per cent, ot the cars composing a freight train. Scores of wrecks in all parts of the country are said by railroad officials to have been caused by this law. Under its terms the fore part of every freight train is braked by air. When the first cars are stop ped suddenly the rear cars oi the train bump into the head cars with mighty force and a weakened coup ling or damaged car causes some car to buckle and fall across any track that may be adjoining. This was exactly what happened in this instance. It has happened six or seven times recently right iu the neighborhood of Harrisburg, but this time a swift express was plunging along on the track. Coroner Krause and a specially empanelled jury is conducting an investigation along this line and the jury's verdict may contain some recommendation regarding the re peal of the law, and may also deal with the question of the method of lighting employed upon cars. Con flicting statements are made regard ing the part played by the gas tanks under the cars in the disaster, and the railroad officials and Coroner are making a study of the problem. It is said that no person or per sons will be held in any way in dividually accountable for the kill ing and injuring of the passengers and . the loss of the two trains. Every witness agrees that it was an accident pure and simple. The ques tion remains, however, as to whether or not a change iu the law might not prevent a similar tragedy. Pennsylvania Railroad officials have been, flooded with pathetic ap peals from relatives of people who were on the train, and who have not been heard from at home. There are still many among the missing and some of them were probably burned up so badly that no trace of them remaius. No estimate of the financial loss of railroad property has been made by the railroad officials, although it is said that $100,000 will not cover the loss of the passenger train alone. The locomotive can be re- ' built, but outside of this all is a I tnUl 1nL'i rii..r A.ra (Vsinlit .... luiai vsvi live atigub vols were consumed by the flames the remainder of the train having been cut loose and taken a safe distance away. The passenger train that was destroyed was composed of engine No. 2423, one express car, one baggage car, two coaches and the Pullman sleeping cars, Socra tes, Paxton and Karitan, for Pitts burg ; Garnet for Cleveland, and the Tyrolean for Cincinnati. "The Garden of Kden," says a certain very observing gentleman, wasn't a marker to the garden of I millinery as seen from the balcony of a local church last Sunday, and , the clay was decidedly unfavorable for delicate headgear at that.
