RIGHT ARSTORN OFF!
Godfrey W. Howard, of Williams
port, Meets With Frightful Ac
cident.
Godfrey VV. 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.

■ Unile In Electing Judge Green.
(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.

One of the most important State
conventions of the year will be that of |

Fl County Gang's
Desperate Trick.
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
