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.

HEARS B? THE WaY.
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

persons as she left the piison.
Her release was made at the in
stance of District Attorney Jerome,

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.

TRAGIC DETAILS OF AWFUL DISASTER.
J Continued from 1st pan1--
sent it to the Boyd Kstate under
taking establishment. 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

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.
