Howard, son of Mrs. Editha A. Howard, and grand-son of the late William Howard and Mrs. M. A Rockwell, of Emporium, was on Wednesday of last week the victim of a frightful accident at Peekskill, N. Y., while taking part in an artillery prac tice, the occasion being the last day of Military Academy, where he attended school. The cannon to which Godfrey was attached becoming overheated prematurely- discharged tearing the young man's right arm off at the shoulder. He was immediately taken to the hospital and the operation took place at once. A telegram received by Mrs. Rockwell from her daughter reports the operation successful and the patient resting easy. A large party of friends, mostly rela tives of the students, were present at the artillary practice, Mrs. Howard and daughter being among the number when the accident took place. Imagine the shock to the mother and sister. Our citizens generally feel deeply the terribly ca'amity that has befallen this young mon, and hope for his Hpeedy recovery. DEATH'S DOINGS. LACEY.

(Philadelphia Press.) The recent appointment of B. W. Green to the judgeship in the Cam eron Clinton Elk District, so long pre sided over by the late Judge Mayer, haß given the greatest satisfaction evi dently. The new Judge is highly com mended by the people of the district. Before his appointment he had a recognized position as a leader at the bar, and he was supported for the ap pointment by a sentiment that could not be ignored. He will undoubtedly be the Republican nominee for election to the full term, and unless political conditions mix up the district there should be no question of his election. The district has never before had a Republican judge, and only on excep tional occasions has it given a Repub lican majority. For that reason the contest this year will be a hard one, the Democrats being certain to nomin ate some one of those who are ambit ious to secure a place on the bench, if such a contest could be avoided and all parties unite in electing Judge Green the result would be the beet possible thing for the district. It would not only secure ahigh minded and able Judge, but it would free him from every political obligation. State Educational Association. One of the most important State conventions of the year will be that of | the Pennsyleania Educational Associa tion to be held at Altoona, July 3, 4 and 5,1906.

C. Ilare, High School, Altoona, Pa. Special Meeting it Business Men's Association.

The PRESS was informed early of the contemplated trick to be played by the desperate F.lk County Gang 011 Ttte-day, in their frantic effort to defeat,) udge Green's nomination. The unheardof program was 1o con vene the Kepublioan County COM MITTEE ami name three Judicial Conferees, which they did and in structed the three conferees, Messrs. Geo. H. Younger, Johnsonburg, Anthona Samrnick. Henzingcr and Leo IT. Garbarino, of Jay township, and instructed them to vote for Capt. W. C. Kress, of Clinton, for President Judge. It is needless to say that those Republicans and hundreds of Democrats not owned by the Gang, are thoroughly indig nant at this piece of high-handed machine dirty conspiracy. Scores of Democrats 111 this county openly denounce the fraud and rally more loyally to Judge Green's support. The Look Haven Daily Express, last evening, editorially says: "A 'SNAP' session of the Republican county committee of Elk county was held in the parlors of the New Hyde hotel at Ridgway yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock to elect three judgeship conferees. Geo. H. Younger of John sonburg, Anthony Sammick of Benzing er township and Leo H. Garbarino of Jay township were chosen as conferees and instructed for Capt. W. C. Kress of Lock Haven for president judge of the Twenty-fifth district. The committer wan in xeHHion just 20 minutes, the pre arranged program be ing carried out with neatness and dis patch. So far as we have been able to learn no Republicans had yet announc ed their candidacy in Elk county for judge and are reliably informed that the committee was summoned on Mon day by telephone to meet in Ridgway yesterday to select three conferees to meet with the conferees of the other two counties of the district, to place in nomination a Republican candidate for president judge. This unseemly action on the part of the Elk Republican county committee is being severely criticised by Republi cans throughout the district and those who believe in fair play denounce such tactics asoutrageous. People naturally look for the motive that prompts such proceedings and those in touch with the judgeship situation in this district do not have far to seek to find it. The power that is believed to have influenc ed the action of the Elk county com mittee is the same that dominates the politics of both parties in Elk county, and is now reaching out with a view of dictating the nomination for judge on both the Republican and Democratic tickets in the district. This once ac complished the balance of the program will unfold according to the wishes of the resourceful Elk Democratic ma chine that is just now trying to manip ulate the politics of the Twenty-fifth udicial and also the Twenty-sixth sen atorial district, of which Clinton county is a part." " 'What are the Republicans of Clin ton county going to do about it?' is the question that comes home to them just now. The Elk Democratic machine is composed of astute politicians of expe rience and they have been quick to recognize that Judge Green is the most logical and strongest candidate that the Republicans can nominate for president judge, hence their activity in doing all they can to embarrass his candidacy and prevent his nomination if possible. If they can cause any dis sension in the Republican ranks of Clinton county so much the better, tor any seed of discord that can be sown among the Republicans will bear fruit for the Democratic nominees for presi dent judge and State senator, and the men slated for these honors are Harry Alvin Hall, Esq , and his brother, Sen ator James K. P. Hall, both of Ridgway. Are the Republicans of Clinton going to be caught in the trap so neatly pre pared for them by the enemy, or will they rise in their might and assert their honest convictions as to whom they believe to be the strongest man to nominate forjudge? The Express favors the nomination of Judge Green, the appointee of Gov ernor Pennypacker for the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Mayer, J for it looks upon him as the most avail j able candidate and the one with the best chance of being elected. He pos sesses the necessary qualifications for a good judge, is in the prime of life and comes from the part of the district that has just claims for recognition, We also candidly believe that hio nomina tion will add strength to the whole Republican ticket, not only in Clinton county but in the three counties of the district. He has the unanimous en dorsement of Cameron county, not by a set up committee, but by the act of a Republican county convention and if the Republicans of Clinton will declare for hiui at a special primary election, I which it will be necessary to hold, his j nomination will be secured. With ! united action 011 the part of the Repub- j lican voters of the district Judge Green I can enter the campaign with splendid ! chances of being elected." P. R. R., to Sell Mileage Books for S2O Hereafter The Pennsylvania railroad, it is said on high authority, has decided to ac cede to the demands of the merchants and traveling men of the state for the abolishment of the $lO excess mileage j book. Tn response to the persistent agita tion of the drummers of Pennsylvania, I which has gone so far as to include a ' suit in the name of the commonwealth and a campaign for legislation fixing | the maximum rate of fare on steam railroads throughout Pennsylvania at 2 cents a mile, the company, it has ( been learned, intends to sell books : good for 1,000 miles at S2O flat. Just when the new books will be issued has not not yet. been decided, as \ quite a number of details must be ar- j ranged first and sufficient notice given 1 the traveling public.
