The Hepburn Bill.
The act creating the Interstate Com
merce Commission was passed by Con
gi«M In 1887, and was signed by the
President, who proceeded to appoint
five comm ssioners under it.
The act has been amended and added
to several times since, and now has the
singular defect of the Commission not
being able to enforce its judgments.
TWb Hepburn bill, which originated
with the Commission, was approved of
by the President, and which takes its
nme from the Chairman of the House
Committee that passed upon it and re
ported it. consists ot a series of amend
mente designed to remedy the defects of
the law* now in effect regarding inter
state commerce.
The railroad companies and favored
shippers have avoided the law by joint
tariffs, private cars, private switches,
services and what are called
"midnight- tariffs. "
The new bill does not give the Com
mission the power to classify the freight,
bat it does give it. upon complaint and
hewing, the power to fix what to them
■HAIL appear to be a fair or just rate,
with the use of the U. 8. Courts and
Attorney General to enforce the penil
ties imposed for disobedience; appeals
from same to be to the U. S. Supreme
Court direct, and to take precedence
over all other cases— but the rate fixed
to stand.
The act, also, imposes a penalty of
15,000 for each offense by a common
currier, and if continued, the same
P amount for each day; and it increases
the membership of the Commission to
| seven at SIO,OOO a year each.
The rate it fixes is to be absolute, the
penalties imposed, alone, to be subject
Iff to appeal.
||R' This bill passed the House some time
/ ago and has been the chief bone of con
j§.' tention in the Senate for the past two
1 jreeka. All the corporation and trust
!! buryere and agents in the Senate, in-
I* 7 (lading the two from this State, are
~R fighting for an appeal to the courts from
the rate fixed, Itself; which wonld prac-
F tlcally nullify the whole business, and
F leave the matter abont where it is today

A LATE earthquake in Formosa, the
large island between Japan and the
Philippines, is said to have killed two
thousand people.
TWELVE men perished by a snow
slide near Silverton, Colo., Monday;
I F»* at Ouray, six hundred miners are cut
off from the rest of the world and the
pmpwty loss is put at a million. The
saow at one point was reported as being
sixty feet deep.
I PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has relieved
Bdlamy Stover as Ambassador to the
Court at Vienna, and has appointed
CoL Francis of Troy, N. Y., in his
■tead. The removal of Stover was
OFTNML BY alleged neglect of duty, and
also because his wife mixed in church
politics. She was a Longworth of Cin
cinnati and is an sunt of Nicholas, who
lately married Teddy's daughter.
SENATOR PENROSE'S bill for a 150,000
appropriation to "determine the quanti
ty of the so-called hammer-blow centri
fugal lift and tangental throw of the
eoonter balance in locomotive driving
Wheels" is saved from one construction
by a single fact, Senator Quay intro
duced the eame bill some years ago
which relieves Penrose from the suspic
ion that he is trying to find out what
hit him last November — Ex.
THE people of New Orleans have at
lest discovered a case where the lynch
ing of a negro is declared to be unjusti
fiable. A negro, who is reported to have
run nod a good deal of trouble, became
too mischievous for his neighbors when
he shot a white man's cow and was ar
xested by the Sheriff. On the way to
jail a masked mob met the pair, the
negro was "turned over" and after be
ing strung up to a railroad bridge "in a
quiet and orderly manner" was riddled
with bullets.
ANDY CARNEGIE, although he has
shown no sympathy for fads, has gone
in for phonetic spelling. What a mess
that would make of our language. "Of
the substantial arguments against
changing English orthography two ap
pear to be relied upon: the confusion
the loss of the etymology of words
shorn of their silent lettere. Samples
of the proposed changes are inflnitiv,
definit, slapt. deth, welth and tung.
The simplified spellers would avoid con
fusion by making the changes gradually
and they deny the threatened loss of
etymology, adding that it would not be
much loss anyway '
THE recent election in Seattle, "Wash,
which was won by the Municipal
Ownership party, was a surprise, for
the city has been for over a decade so
strongly Republican that the Demo
crats nominated no ticket in the last
oonteet. Instead, the Municipal Own
ership organization entered the field
with a platform declaring that the
party in control was so dominated by
the interests of corporations that it
was virtually owned by them and that
in that particular the railroads had
SO gobbled up all the franchises in sight
that competition became impossible.
The Republican leaders, recognizing
With alarm the growing pnblic resent
ment at government by railways, de
clared in their platform for municipal
SF ownership "as soon as it conld be carried
into effect" But they were beaten by
large majorities at the polls "because,"
says the Portland "Oregonian," a Re
publican paper, "the people proposed to
tike control of their own affairs and the
direction of their own utilities into
theicorra haada."
The County Auditors Tleport.
The County Auditors toot their time,
thi3 year, and examined into every
thing: making a full and complete re
port, which is Lied in the Prothcnotary's
ofiles, and open to the inspection of the
pnblic. The accounts for new bridges
and bridge repairs are itemized and arc,
this year, published in full. The total
expenses of the county, including
bridges, for the year 1005. were $01,029.
38, and of the County Home, as per
"vouchers redeemed" $i6,301.68.
Treasurer Dixon handled $154,881.05
for the County, last year, which includ
ed a temporary and repaid loan of
$25,000. and $22,227 05, sent to the State
Treasurer: also #5.192.97 of Sinking
Fond money: £1.146.54 of Dog Tax aDd
$1,437.13 of Surplus Dog Tax; $50,057 39
of Poor District money and 421.606.56 of
Poor District Sinking Fund money, on
all of which he had a percentage.
The County had about 19,000 on
hands at the beginning of the year, and
the collecters owe it about $20,000 but
we yet owe about $80,000.00 on the
Countv Home.
THE execution of Lieut. Smith, the
Young Russian naval officer, who led
the Black Sea revolt, made a deep im
pression in that country and may lead
to another mutiny.
Council Meeting.
At the mid-month meeting of the
Town Council, Tuesday evening, a
number of the members jumped upon
Capt. Hays and wanted him to explain
why, in a newspaper interview, he had
stated the action placing a telephone in
each Councilman's house at the town s
expense was a form of graft. Capt.
Hays waited until they all were appa
rently real mad and then caused a big
laugh by offering a written resolution
calling the whole telephone action a
joke. The resolution was not passed,
but Council recinded their former
action and also passed a motion order
ing that hereafter the Street Commis
sioner and Chief of Police pay for
their own phones.
C. J. Gibson tried to have the Coun
cil pass the ordinances allowing the
PitUburg & Butler Street Railway Co.
to lay switches on West street and to
use Chestnut St. to make a loop witn
Jefferson, Main and Cunningham Sts
The Councilmen and Solicitor Christley
show a disposition to safe-guard the
interests of the town by not granting
the company any further concessions
until their subordinate company, the
Bntler Passenger, releases the exten
sions they have filed tying up Mifflin,
North and Clay Sts. A petition signed
bv all the property holders on Mifflin
Bt. and a number of others asking
Council to keep all street car companies
off that street. A petition was also
presented, signed by all the property
holders on the Island portion of West
street, protesting against any company
being allowed to tie up that street with
switches. The matter went over for
one week, and Council, the property
holders and Qibson are to meet on West
St. at 6 p. m.. Friday.
The appropriations to the hose com
panies were increased as follows:
Campbell's $125 to $175; East Ends SIOO
to $150; Rescues SIOO to $150; Good
Wills S2OO to $250; First Ward $125 to
$175; South Side S2OO to $275, a total of
$1175
The business men of the town asked
for an ordinance shutting out all fakirs
and itinerant auctioners.
Oil and Gas Notes.
The Market—Remains at $1.58.
Connoqueneßsing—Walker & Mc-
Candless reached the sand on the Rose
lot in the borough, Tuesday afternoon,
when the well began spouting oil and
gas at a great rate It is a heavy gasser,

flows since, or an average of about 15
barrels an hour.
Oakland —The well on the Heck farm

sold SIB,OOO worth of oil from the wells
since the first came in last October.
They drilled five holes which probably
cost nearly as much as the sales of oil
amount to which leaves them the sell
ing price all clear profit, and Dr. Sho
walter is generally considered to have
gotten the production cheap. Gahagan
;Co starting a well on an adjoining
lease.
Sheriff Gibson & Co. brought in a 30
barrel well on the Isaac Duffy, last

AClil DENTS.
Charles Miller, the grocer, fell upon

Conrad Sheets, formerly of Great
Belt, was struck by a train at Natrona,
a few days ago, and died at Allegheny
Hospital a few hours later, He was
buried at Great Bolt.
TweDty people were either killed out

the Denver & Rio Grande R. R., last
Friday. It was a head-on collision be
tween two pass°nger trains caused by
telegraph operator at a small station
going to sleep and not stopping one of
the trains.
Two Important Tunnel Pro
posals.
Some of our more important railroads
are considering the question of reducing
the heighth of the summit elevations on
the mam line of their systems by the
construction of lengthy tunnels. Ac
cording to recent dispatches, the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company is about to
lower the summit of the Allegheny
mountain division by driving a great
tunnel, which will be either 9 or. 1}
miles in length, according as one or
other of two alternative surveys is
adopted. On the eastern slope the road
would enter the tunnel in the vicinity
of the Horseshoe Curve; on the western
slope the portal would be in the neigh
borhood of Crescent. At present, the
enormously heavy tfliffic of this road
has to be hauled over a summit which
is 2 160 feet above mean sea level, and
by the construction of the tnnnel, this
wonld be cut down probably to about
1.500 feet. The importance of the re
duction is not shown by the mere state
ment of reduction of vertical heighth;
for on the eastern slope tbe grade is
particularly steep, and the portion
the summit line that wonld be eliminat
ed has an average grade, we believe, of
something like two per cent. Another
road, whhih has an important tunnel
under considerate, is the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad, which by & cfcange in the
location of its line, and the construction
of seven miles of tnnnel through the
mountain range in which the Lehigh
River has its source, will eliminate many
miles of heavy grade and reduce its
summit elevation by several hundred
feet.—Sci. Am.
