m. Sunday. He was riding on the
pilot of the engine through Unadilla.

his footing and fell to the side ot the
track. The momentum carried him a
distance of fifty feet beside the train

trucks of the cars in the train. Al
though he did not get under the wheels
he was shockingly bruised, the most
severe injuries being about the head.
He was picked up unconscious and

Immigrants Qo to Berwick.
Although the American Car &
Foundrv Co. announces that it has
plenty of men at its Berwick works at
present, immigrants continue togo
there. This week forty Hungarians,
just fresh from their native land, got
to Berwick with the expectation of
receiving employment in the car
plant. They were turned away.
There is talk of a general advance in
railroad freight rates to overcome the
increase in costs of operation and
maintenance on account of high wages
and prices of material.
The railroads are threatening to in
crease the rates of carrying coal and
the legislature threatens to put a tux
on coal, all of which will have to be
paid by the unfortunate consumer.

Illlffi Ul
is nan
A law, which is misunderstood ami
which is causing our county commis-
considerable embarrassment, is
the act of assembly authorizing and
requiring each county to bury and to
provide a lieadstoue for any honorably
discharged soldier, sailor or marine,
who served in the army or navy dur- .
ing the late rebellion or any preceding
war, and who shall thereafter die in j
that county leaving insufticeut means
to defray the necessary burial ex- I
pauses.
In each county the act requires that
in every township aud ward suitable
persons be appointed to look after and
bury the deceased soldiers, sailors or
marines who are entitled to the bene
fit of the above act. Before assuming
charge aud expeuse of burial, section
second,provides that the men appoint
ed must first satisfy themselves by
careful inquiry into and examination
of all the circumstances ,m ,the case
whether the deceased soldier, sailor or
marine they are called upon to bury
serve<l the army or navy and was
honorably discharged aud died in their
township or ward, leaving insufficent
means to defray necessary burial ex
penses.
If they are satisfied that such facts
exist they shall take charge of the
body aud cause it to be buried aud
thereupou they shall immediatelv re
port their action in the case to the
county commissioners, settiug forth
the facts acertained by them, together'
with the name, rank, command to
which such deceased soldier, sailor or
marine bel)uged,the date of (TTscharge,
&c.,which report shall be dulv attest
ed by three reputable persous residing
in the same township or ward with
the deceased soldier, sailor or marine,
knowing the fact that the latter died
without sufficient means to defray
necessary burial expenses.
The above provisions, our county
commissioners think, when known
ought to make it clear, not only that
veterans ot the war must die wholly
without means before they can be
buried at the expense of the county,
hut also that whatever is done in the
premises must be done promptly, as
soon as death pccurs, if the provisions
of the law are to lived up to.
The couuty commissioners are much
perplexed by applications tljat come
into the office mouths after the death
aud burial of the veterau Pas occur
red. Persous who are unacquainted
with the provisions of the act seem to
thiuk that by establishing cor tain facts
at any time subsequeut to death money
will be paid by the couuty for burying
deceased soldiers,sailors or marines.
This is a mistake, as those who ap
ply soou learn. The death rate is
rapidly increasing among the vetorans
and it is only just that all should
know what the law provides as to their
burial and what procedure must be
employed.
sleigh Ride to Klinesgrove.
A sloigniug party was most royally
eutertained at the couutry home of
Mr. aud Mrs. Edward Savidge, near

Will Meet at Carlisle.
The Central Pennsylvania confer
euce of the United Evangelical church
will convene this year in Carlisle,
March Tth. This is oue of the largest
conferences of lliis denomination, be
ing compose*', of J34 ministers and 110
lay delegates. Bishop H. B. Hartzler,
D. D., of Harrisburg, will preside.
This session of the conference will be
of more than usual interest since there
are twenty-four of the pastors who
have reached the four year limit on
their present charge and must there
fore move, which will necessitate the
moving of others. Among the promin
ent congiejjutions that will he affected
this year by the four year limit will
be Scrautpn, North Berwick. Blootus
burg. St. John's, Williamsport; Mil
ton, Lewistowu, Lemoyue, Trinity,
York; Red Lion, Olive Branch, Balti
more and Ihigerstowu. The term of
four of fin; presiding elders expires at
this conference, two of them however
are eligible for reelection, the other
two having served eight years, or twc
terms, are therefore by the law of the
church not eligible for reelection,
hence there will.be two new presid
ing elders to elect. The conference
will be in session about one week.

MS KILE
HORSE FALLS 10
Driving in the dark into the rail
road instead of the high way, the horse
of Will Webb, of Pine Summit fell
through the railroad culvert about a
half mile from Strawberry Kidge on
Tuesday night and it required the coui
| bined efforts of Bix men with ropes
and tuckle to pull the animal back
from his position.
| Webb had been at the Strawberry
I Ridge hotel during the early part of
| the evening and then started for home
along the road which runs parallel to
the S. B. & ii. railroad tracks. A
! short distance from the Jiidjgo the
| highway crosses the traok and then
continues on again on the other side
of the track. In the dark, Webb did
not clear the track, but turned the
horse up the railroad, thinking it the
'highway. A short'distance from the
crossing is a culvert over'.a creek, and
as the ties are sixteen inohes apart,
the auiinal lost his footing ami his
four legs went through the culvert.
The animal was helpless,and the driv
er could not release him from his posi
tion.
Iu a short time a half dozen will
ing hands gathered at the culvert, and
rones, planks and tackle were procur
ed. It was fully half au hour, how
ever, before the horse could be gotteu
back up on the track and back off the
culvert.
The harness and cutter shafts were
badly injured, but uone of the horse's
' limbs were broken, though badly cut.
He was taken back lo Heaver's hotel
where driver and horse remained un
til last evening
A curious feature of the affair is
that the horse ventured out ou the
open trestle.as most horses cannot eveu
be forced onto such dangerous places.

BLOOMSBURG TO
HAVE ORATORIO
Charles (). Skeei, well known in
Bloomsburg musical circles, is reorg
anizing the Bloomsburg choral society
and his plan is to present iu the
Spring Staiuer's oratorio, "The
Daughter of Janus."
It is expecterl that there will be a
chorus of HO voices chosen from
Bloomsbnrg's best musical talent. The
soloists will be from out of town and
it is fully expected to have siugers of
wide reputation. Futhermore, it is
hoped to have orchestral accompani
ment making it the most elaborate
musical production ever given in this
section of the state. Mr. Skeer lias
been engaged in the work of reorgan
izing the chorus for some weeks.
Carried Baby 40 Hiles.
Mrs. Auuie Stimo arrived a few
days ago in Tamaqua from Hungary,
with a small babe,expecting some rel

not there and having no money she
started on foot for Shamokin, forty
miles distant carrying her child in a
guunysack. She reached her destina
tion on Saturday nearly starved and
frozen, when relatives took charge of
her.
Spring Days Coming.
The month with usually the greatest
amouut of winter weather has stone

BROTHER'S DEM
Albert George Povey whose death
ocourrid in Philadelphia under such
sad circumstances Saturday was con
signed to the grave iu Odd Fellows'
cemetery yesterday afternoon.
The body was brought to this city
on Monday evening and taken to the
: residence of J. H. Weaver, Ferry street,
1 ironi where the funeral was Held. Al
though in a strange laud, without a
single relative to follow liim to the
grave, yet the deceased was consigned
to his last resting place with every
mark of respect.
; Tll « funeral, which took place at 3
o'clock, was quite well attended. The
services were conducted by Kev. L.
W. Walters,pastor of Pine Street Lutli- ]
eran church, assisted by Kev. L. Dow ]
Ott, pastor of Trinity M. E. church, j
During the funeral several appropriate I
selections woro rendered on the piano !
by Miss May Books. A duett "Over ;
Life's Pathway I Journey," a favorite i
selection of the deceased, was sung by |
Mrs. Cunningham and Miss Katliryn '
Keiin.
The pall bearers were Tarring G. i
Brown, B. W. Musselinan, J. W. 1
ftwarts, Samuel Werkheiser, George '
A. Hossman and Alfred Frv. Tlie fun
eral proceeded to the cemetery oil the
Danville and Bloouisburg trolley. |
A brother and two sisters of the de
'ce sed survive. They all live in Lou- !
! <lou Naturally teu days or luoie will
j n'apse before the mail arrives convey- (
• iug to them the sad news of their,
; brother's death. On next Wednesday.
; when the Nor ilaud, the ►team>iiip i n
1 which the deceased was to have cm I
barked and Which sailed last Satur
day, comes into London oue of the ,
sisters will be on the dock to meet her
brother,from whom she has beeu part
ed for so many years. But of course
she will be disappointed and her
brother's failure to appear will be un
explained until after the mails arrive.
Mr. Povey's baggage was already on
the Nordlaud and he was in sight of
the vessel when lie fell on the street. I
It is accounted a fortunate circumst- I
anee that death occurred before he was ,
carried out to sea. As it was, lie was
given a burial by his friends in a town j
where he had formed many attach
ments, while, if death had occurred 1
on the Nordland, the body would have
beeu in the hauds of strangers and
would have been disposed of accord
ing to the rules provided for such
cases.
The flfty-ninth congress has only fil
teenjlegislative days left before it ex
pires by limitation at noon on Marcli
4th. In that short time a vast amount
of legislation must bo crowded hurri
edly through according to the pernic
ious custom which the short session
has engrafted upon the federal govern
ment. Although congress has beeu in
session since December 3 only ono
measure of large importance to the
general public has been passed by both
houses and approved by the president
—the anti-campaign contribution bill.
To be sure congress found time to in
crease the salariosof its members from
$5,000 to 17,500 per annum.
From the present outlook there is
serious danger of a repetition of the
experiences undergone in the closing
hours of the last session. At that time
there was such an avalanche of bills,
finally agreed to by both houses after
long delay, that the enrolling clerks
wero simply overwhelmed and could
not keep pace, thus delaying the ad
journment. If such a thing should
happen again this year the only par
liamentary resource will he to turn
back the hands of the clock when noon
of March 4 arrives.
As the session thus enters upon what
may be called its active stage the most
graphic and comprehensive resume of
what has been done already and what
remaius to be done may be given in
the following table of important gen
eral measures:
Passed by both houses and signed by
the president—The anti-campaign con
tribution bill.
Passed by the house and awaiting
action by the senate—The bill giving
the government tne right of appeal in
criminal cases. The bill making the
free alcohol law effective. The river
and harbor bill.
Passed by the senate and awaiting
action by the house—The bill limiting
the hours of railroad employes. The
ship subsidy bill (passed by the senate
at the last session).
Bills that are apparently dead—The
Philippine tariff bill (passed by the
house year, but held up in the
I senate Philippine committee without
hope of being reported). The White,
mountain and Appalachian forest re- |
servo bill) passed by houses last
year, but apparently hopelessly dead
locked in conference).
The many annual appropriation
bills, diplomatic and consular, fortifi
cations, Indian, agricultural, naval, "j
postofflce, sundry, pension,general de- Jj
ficiency, etc., are either awaiting ac- »|
tion in one or the other brauches or j
not yet reported. In addition to the j
above are the San Dominican,Algecir- '
as and probably the Japanese treaty, ! I
which must apparently wait until a '
special session of the senate after
March 4. Tiiere is also the Smoot case,
which will be decided Febnrary 20,
when Senator Smoot will undoubtedly
be sustained.

An ftxfltluic Trip In (lie Mlihl of i
\V4I«I ThanUcmtorm.
On one occasion, rising suddenly
through a stratum of clouds 10,000 feet
in the air Into brilliant sunshine, the
I gas dilated. I let out n little. Down
1 we dropped into n cold air current. The
| immediate condensation of tho gat
I dropped us hack Into the cloud layer,
| which condensed the gas still more
! and accelerated the drop. We came
i out directly above a stretch of woods
j over which lay another cool belt. By
this time we were falling like a rock
j We were going so fast that the bagfnls
of sand we threw out wen?'up instead
of down. Hastily we threw out the
drag the anchor, tho lunch basket
—to little purpose. We struck tho trees
with a terrific crash, but escaped, how
ever, with nothing worse than a shak
iug up and a few bruises.
The most exciting trip I ever made
was a record breaking voyage that be
gan one Sunday evening. The weatbei
was not propitious, but we cast off.
We sailed across the Hudson river to
New Jersey and plunged into a cloud.
After traveling twenty miles I descend
ed to drop* a note to my wife, assuring
lier of our safety. Again we shot into
a cloud. Presently we drifted over a
village and, with that exaltation that
accompanies tho sensation of floating
in tho air, enjoyed to a strange degree
the music of church bolls drifting up
from below. Before we were aware
we plunged into the midst of a huge
uppronchlng thunder cloud, ll seemed
to open and swallow us into a pit ot
gloom and simultaneously into tin
heart of the wildest thunderstorm I
think I have ever seen. The clouds
rolled and tossed and twisted. The |

then tossed up and again spun swittl; i
about like a top, *We lost all sense of |

Lightning fh.slied, not in forked zig
zags, but in great Hashes of fire. It
was frightful. We did not want to de
scend, but presently we heard the un
mistakablo sound of water not far
away. Letting out a little gas, we shot
downward. Faster we dropped and
faster. Land was below us. The prob
lem was to land in the high wind with

It would l*e difficult in a line to say
Just what tlie character of the tirst
night audience in New York city is.
There are the critics, of course, a dozen
)i' so of rather subdued and timorous
looking little men who wander lone
soniely about, not seeming to have the
courage to speak to anybody outside
of their own set and who are general
ly followed by the vengeful glances of
•«oine hurt actor.
Aside from the assortment of young
mllliouaives who like the theatrical at
mosphere, the main constituency of the
Frst night nudieuce Is the "profession"
and the allied arts, the criminal law
.vers, managers, backers of shows, etc.
in the early put of the season there
will always be a number of well known
actors and actresses who have not yet
gone 10 work and who are enjoying
their vacations, much as the engineer
does during his two weeks' rest in Au
gust. by spending it at the^oundhouse
the theater.
And this i:i general constitutes the
aggregation that lias become famous,
or infamous, in theatrical circles as the
"deathwatch." They are supposed to be
a very difficult body of people to
please, but, as a matter of personal ex
perience, I have not seen a .first night
in ten years that has not been riotous
ly and foolishly enthusiastic, no matter
how worthless the offering was.
At some of the worst failures of the
season I have seen the star called be
fore the curtain a dozen tines in the
evening, the author and the manager
obliged to make speeches of thanks for
the "great reception," while floral
tributes gave the whole thing the at
mosphere of a hospital on visiting day.

"Your promptness, sir." said Or.
Price-Price. 'Ms quite refreshing, but
really I don't expect you te pay It all
at ouce if It's going to embarrssn you."

I ilon't ruin I that. I'm grnteful to you
