The terrible accident at Morley 's
crossing yesterday of which we
gave an account in last evening's
Record, fills the heart with addi.
tional horror as we become Irore
fully acquainted with its particu-
lars. The victim was Lockwood
Thompson, one of the oldest and
most respected citizens of Smith-
field township. He was born In
the above named place seventy-five
years ago and for pearly hall a
century has resided on the farm
where he lived up to the time of his
death. He was a respected iueni-
ber of the Baptist church who al-
ways exemplified in his life and
conduct the higher principles of
Christianity. In his social and
business life he was honorable and
true and he had the confidence of
all who knew him, Ie was a mem-
ber of the Grange and his counsels
were sought on many different
Lusiress problems of the day
The eircumstances surrounding
his death are peculiar. He hal
ocen: to Morley's mil driving a
team of horses that were full of life
ari after getting his load started
to vturn home. Ther: had been
a wreck of a freight train just Le.
low the erossing and tais might
have diverted his attention so that
ke wight not have notica! the close
proximity of the express tram.
Mr. Clinton Knapp, a neighbor,
was riding upon the :ngin: thal
struck him and he said that when
the horses got upon the track they
stopped instant and then
sorang forward right in front of
the train. The wagon was demol-
ished, one horse was killed ontright
and the other injured so that he
was obliged to be shot and Mr.
Thompson was carried on the en
gine some distance ; his head crush-
ed and lis whole body bruised so
that death must have been instan-|
taneous. [lis body was brought to
Rogers & Miller's undertaking
rooms and his friends were soon
notified of his death.
Of his immediate [aauly only
two daughters, Mrs. Heiman Ger-
onl, who lived on the fann with him
and Mrs. Jesse Phillips of Elmira,
survive him, his wife having died
two years ago. Two brothers,
Charles Thompson, resid>s at Oak
Hill, and Edgar Thompson at
Sayre, and a half sister, Mm Kiteh-!
en, survive him. The funeral will
take place from his late residenee

Britons Can't Compete With Amerisa
at Making Idols.
LONDON, Oct, 26. —The British publie
was thrown luto a denunclatory frame
of mind when a short time ago It heard
that there was an Idol factory In Bir.
minghaw, the proprietors of which
were enriching themselves by pander.
ing to heathen religions,
There came speedily an lodignant de
nial from a Birmingham clergyman,
and the British public recovered its
equanimity, but It appears that there
used to be an idol making industry in
Birmingham, which was won away by
some persons In the United States who
seemed to Le able to turn out gods
more to the liking of plous Aslatics
and Africans than those wade in Bir-
mingham.
The British public has not quite de-
cided what should be its views of the
case as It now appears.
Home of Precious Stones.
The Island of Ceylon is the
remarkable ia
“furnishing” of the new stale capilol
The governor is an eccentric and
whimsical character, who has his
faults, and a good many of them, but,
fortunately for the state, love of graft
has not appeared among them. State
Treasurer Berry, who has the best op-
portunities for knowing, believes that
the chief executive has been simply
a dupe in the hands of unscrupulous
schemers, who, playing upon his rather
childish loyalty as a Pennsylvanian
and his sincere belief that pothing Is
too good for the new capitol, have led
him into the amazing and foolish ex-
travagances that have wrecked the
good name of his administration.
In choosing a candidate to succeed
Governor Pennypacker, the Penrose
machine has struck upon a man re
sembling him in many respects and
has controlled him. BEx-Mayor Stuart
is an honest and amiable gentleman,
singularly lacking In force of charac
ter, and, so far as his friends know,
without even a superficial knowledge
of the affairs of the state and its peo
ple. If elected, he would rely for sup
port and advice upon the Penrose ma
chine, just as Governor Pennypacker
has done, and in his ignorance of its
crooked ways and capacity for every
form of evil it would be impossible
for him to avoid many of the pitfalls
fnto which the sage of Schwenksvllle
has fallen. Judging by every prece
dent, a Stuart administration would
be in all essential respects a contin
uation of the Pennypacker regime, but
weaker and more diluted, as the legal
mind of the present governor has en-
abled him to avoid many mistakes
which a layman like Stuart would be
lable to make.
The scandals of the present admin
istration, it is reasonable to expect,
would be repeated under a Stuart suc
cession, and in all probability aggra
vated. Let us see what a few of these
have been
When Pennypacker took office al
Harrisburg Matthew Stanley Quay, of
hateful memory, was state boss and
the governor still labored under the
infantile delusion that that evil genius
was a greater man than Webster or
Clay Guided by his advice, he con
tinued in office as Insurance commis
sioner the notorious Israel W. Dur
ham, who was shown by last winter's
investigation to have recelved in fees
over $140.000 to which he was not en
titled. The fact that one of Durham's
cheapest henchmen, J. Clayton Erb,
took a solemn vath that the money
went to him In no wise alters the fact
that thesq illegal fees went into Dur
ham's pocket, and simply shows the
class of men with whom the insurance
commissioner surrounded himself. The
investigation showed also that the
commissioner's pay roll was padded
and that the state was paying money
to political scalawags who rendered it
no service
Another unworthy appointment was
that of Berkey, the present superin
tendent of banking, who was named
at the instance of the Penrose ma
chine hecause of his political activity
in Somerset county, and without any
reference to [fitness for the position
Berkey's absenteeism and neglect of
duty have been notorious at Harris
burg. His fallure to enforce the law
was directly responsible for the wreck
of the Real Estate Trust company, of
Philadelphia. whose books had not
been examined for two or three years
before its collapse. No depositor In a
trust company or state bank has any
-
long as the enforcement of the law in
tended for his protection Is placed io
guch indifferent hands.
The governor gave his approval to
the infamous ripper bills, which were
intended to rob tke mayor of Philadel
phia of the appointment of his execu
tive directors and place thelr election
in «ae hands of councils subservient
to the Penrose-McNichol machine. No
more oulrageous legislation was ever
enacted In Pennsylvania, and the gov:
ernor sought to apologize for It, in
answer to the protests of the best
people of Philadelphia, by saying that
it had been urged by a potent political
leader, meaning Boss Durham.
The failure of the Enterprise Na
tional Bank, of Allegheny City, showed
that some $900,000 of the state's money
has been deposited in this institution,
which was so thoroughly looted by the
machine politicians of Pittsburg and
Allegheny that its cashier committed
suicide, and hundreds of poor people
were rulned. The revelations of the
Jax methode in handling the funds of
the commonwealth, as practiced by
gang state treasurers, like Mathues
and bis predecessors, for the benefit
of favored banks had much to do with
that overwhelming revolution of sen.
timent which led to the election of
William H. Berry as slate treasurer
and the lifting of the lid at Harris.
burg.
And now the governor has capped
the climax of these scandals by allow-
ing himself to be made a catspaw by
mercenary politicians In pulling $9,
000,000 out of the state treasury for
the “furnishings” of the $4,000,000 cap-
jtol. Childish Ignorance of politicians
of the Quay Penrose Durham: McNichol
type could go no further than this,
the nominations that have been
of candidates for representatives in the
next legislature. The last legislature
of Penosylvania was, in its cringing
obedience 10 the bosses, one of the
most contemptible bodies that ever met
in the state, and at its regular session
made a record in that line that has
rarely been equaled. It will be recalled
that the attacks of the Penrose-Dur-
bam-McNichol aggregation wers aspec-
ially aimed at the reform movement
in Philadelphia and that the two men
whom they especially sought to cripple
were Mayor Weaver and D, Clarence
Gibboney, the Intrepid secretary of the
Law and Order Society, and the present
City Party candidate for district at-
torney. Mayor Weaver's hands were
to he tied by the passage of the infam-
ous ripper bills, which took from him
the power of appointment of his prin-
cipal directors and placed it In the
hands of councils, and the assaults of
the Law and Order Society upon the
inlquities of the white slave trafic
were to be checked by subordinating
its officers strictly to the machinsa-con-
trolled police. 2
This latter end was to be accomplish-
ed by the Puhl and Erhardt bills, a se-
ries of ontrageous measures drafted un-
der the direction of Penrose, Durham
and McNichol and pushed through the
legislature under the lash of the bosses
until the almost universal cry of pro-
test from Philadelphia and the whole
state cansed them to halt in thelr
course. The members who voted for
these outrageous bills were pilioried in
the presz at the time and the fact that
at the special session of the legisiature,
in thelr terror of the reform move
ment, they hastened to undo some of
their evil work in no manner mitigat-
ed thelr guilt. Yet the Penrose ma-
chine in defiance of public opinion,
seems to have taken especial pleagure
in renominating many of these recreant
legisiatars and in turning down other:
who refuged to do its bidding. The stu-
pidity of such a course at the present
time seems appalling
Oniside of Philadelphia and Alle.
gheny counties about 45 members of
the last legislature have been renomi-
pated, nearly all of them thorough-go-
ing gangsters. The following 25 of
them voted for the Ehrhardt bill, which
would have prevented the service of
any warrant by a licensed detective
against a vice den or any other place
or person, without the O. K. of the
superintendent, chief, captain or other
person In charge of the police. As the
Philadelphia police and machine were
then constituted and related, that bill
along with any of {is companion
measures, would have finished Mr
Gibboney’'s anti-vice crusade in that
city. The list follows

Renominated representatives who did
not vote for that particular Ehrhardt
bill, but did at least as bad a thing in
voting for the Publ bill to tle up Glb-

were Edmund James, Cambria; Oliver
S. Kelsey, Clinton; L. O. McLane,
Crawford, and Josiah M. Landis, Mont-

tive, Frank Craven, of Washington,
although recorded as absent or not vot-
ing on the Pull bill voted for the Ehr-
hardt deputy-constable bill
Thomas V. Cooper, of Delaware, re-
nominated, was absent or not voting
on the Publ and Ehrbardt bills, al-
though he must be credited with vot-
ing against the Philadelphia ripper
Other renominated members absent or
not voting on the Puhl bill were John
W. Carson, Beaver, Edgar R. Kless,
Lycoming, and J. W. Endsley, Somer-
set, with the following Ehrhardt bill
voters: Irwin, Biedleman, W. L. Wood,
North, Reynolds, Moyer, Jones, Welda,
Ross, Mohn and Farley.
Omitting the counties, except in case
of men not named In the foregoing lists
the following members now before the
people for re-election voted for what
was the primary cause of the common-
