On the surface this resolution Is
perfectly harmless. may be productive
of much ‘good and ought to be passed.
but this is the very least that can be
‘sald for it If the proper appoint-
ments should be made to the commis-
sion, It would present arf opportunity
to bring Pennsylvania abreast the
times in the matter of modern peno-
logy, to remove the reproach that is
at present attached to its name in the
field of social philan-
thropy, and to accomplish a great
good for the State and its people
It will not be disputed that the
State is behind the times in the man-
agement of its jails, prisons and peni-
tentiaries, and In the direction of de-
veloping the reformatory and deter-
rent instead of the purely punitive
‘aspects of legal discipline. Many of
the county fails are not worthy of the
jtate or of the age in which we live
a are backward in applying the in-
termediate sentence, the parole and
the probation systems which have
been so beneficial in other States. The
lack of a suitable reformatory for
women has long been felt, and the
‘absence of any responsible State
board of control has another
weak point in the prison system of
Pennsylvania
The appointment of such a commis-
sion as is suggested in Mr Tustin's
resolution would afford an opportun-
ity to ascertain actual conditions here
and In other states, and for the dis-
passionate discussion of these Import-
ant problems of prison management
It is far better that reforms should
be brought about in this deliberate

of the train, was injured
and fearfully scalded. Harry Robarge
of Springfield, fireman, was badly
scalded, and E. Hutchinson of Albany
was scalded, cut and bruised
The cause of the explosion has not
yet been determined. It is supposed
to be due either to low water ln the
boller or to defective construction
While the train was proceeding up a
heavy grade a quarter of a mile east
of the Chester station there was a tre
mendonus sudden shock, and the great
boiler was rent asunder, Windowsz In
houses within a radius of a quarter of
a mile were broken by the concussion,
while huge pieces of steel weighing 500
pounds were thrown as many feet
Eugineer Murphy was crushed under
the wreckage of his locomotive and

Harry Robarge, the fireman, was
