ttlg Fire at Kane,
Fire brokeout yesterday in the Kano
Sliding Blind Company's factory and
destroyed the whole plant, entailing a
loss of over f'to.ooo with only SIU,OoO
Insurance. Just what caused the fire
is not ileflnately known but It is sup
posed to have originated in one of the
lillishing rooms where considerable oil
ami tarnish is used, During the pro
cess, oily waste is used in rubbing and
it is thought that a tire was caused by
' simultaneous combustion.
Injured in Woods.
A young man, by the name of Davis,
from Rich Valley, received a bad cut
011 the left leg below the knee, ou Wed
nesday morning, which required sev
eral stitches to dlaw It together. The
accident occurred while he w.u» «t his
work in Howard's wood* Dr. H, M.
Falk was the attending physician.
Violation of Trespassing Law.
Trespassing on railroad property in
violation of the law has caused the
death of more than 50,0 00 people in
the United States in the last eleven
years. In this same period more than
55,000 trespassers have been injured.
With a view to reducing to a mini
mum the practice of trespassing on its
property, the Pennsylvania Railroad
has determined to redouble its efforts
to secure on its lines that rigid en
forcement of the law against trespass
ing which in foreign countries has
done so much to decrease the number
of fatalities resulting from trespassing.
In 1907 the Pennsylvania inaugurat
ed a vigorous campaign against tres
passing, and, duo doubtless to this, the
number of trespassers killed in 190S
was only 757. In 1909, 732 lost their
lives in this way. In the eleven years
prior to January Ist, 1910, exactly 7,-
972 people who were on the Pennsyl
vania Railroad's right of way in wilful
violation of the law, in spite of thous
ands of warning signs along the rail
road, were killed. It is thus seen that
in the eleven years an average of two
trespassers a day have been ki'led on
Pennsylvania Railroad proper y.
This long death roll is every year
charged up to the Railroad even
though there i>eople are killed as a re
sult of their violating the law, and
under conditions over which the Com
pany has no control.
It is not only tramps who are killed
and injured while trespassing, though
thousands of them lose their lives this
way every year. Men of the laboring
class, factory workmen, their wives
and children, who use railroad tracks
as thoroughfares, are killed by hun
dreds. That the practice of walking
on railroad tracks is prevalent in in
dustrial districts gives added signiti
cance to the fatalities on the Pennsyl
vania System as a result of tre <pass
ing The tracks of the Pennsylvania
ate lined with factories, as they run
through the densest industrial section,
through territory which holds more
than half of the population of the I'ni
ted States. Over 10,t)0o trespassers
were arrested in the year 1!»"»
In IMiS, tr«*spassers lost their
llvee on American radroads, five years
later the number was 6,000 and in 1907
the nimilier killed was 5,K12 more
than 15 a day. These figures are tak
en from the annual reports of the In
tcrstate Commerce Commission. Fig
ures compiled by the Pennsylvania
Railroad alone show that hi > trespass
ers lost their lives on that System's
lines iu ls!»9, 7*l were killed in 1904;
while in 1907 the number reached fl.»
an a\crage of almost throe for every
business day in the year.
The Penns< Ivuuia Railroad has now
posted its tracks auil stationed watch
men to see that waruiugs against tres
pa-wing are respected, liy redoubling
its efforts the Company is endeavoring
to reduce the number of trespassers
who are killed and injured by an even
greater numlier than It baa doue iu the
past three years.
The co operation of City aud Couut)
authorities it.is been solicited iu this
campaign. Heretofore the actual
punishment of |>ersous violating the
laws f.irbidding trespassing on a rail
road's prl\at«i property has heeu in
frvtpieiit. The cost of iui prison me ut
has deteried the local courts from
holding Hume arrested while trespass
lug on railroad property.

Cameron Sheriff Has a Way All
His Own.
The Sheriff of Cameron County pass
ed through Punxsutawney Tuesday
with a prisoner, a man captured at
Trade City, and wanted on an aggra
vated assault and battery charge.
At Dußois the Sheriff stopped over
a short time between trains, and visited
friends. Asked what he was doing in
these parts, the Sheriff explained:
'"Ob, I've got a prisoner."
"Where is he?" the friend asked.
"At the Btation," was the reply.
"Is he guarded?"
"No. What's the use?"
"Aren't you afraid he'll rnn away?"
"Where in the name of Josephus
would he run to? He hasn't got a
sou."
When the Sheriff returned to the sta
tion hia man was there waiting for
him.
On another occasion Cameron coun
ty's sheriff, in company with a mem
ber of Troop I)., State Police, after a
hard chase, arrested a man for horse
stealing. When arrested the man had
the horse and rig which he had atoleu,
with him. The sheriff ordered him to
get into >us rig and drive to the county
seat. The prisoner complied.
"When you get there," were the
Sheriff's parting words, "put up at
some hotel and come around to my
office about nix in the morning " With
that the sheriff started off in another
direi-t : jn, leaving the horse thief to
driv unattended to the county scat.
Next morning, bright and early the
horse thief reported recording to in

When asked by the State Policeman
w belli*. he waan't afraid the man
