RAILROAD EMPLOYE
KILLED BY CARS
Samuel Lucas, of Nescopeck, au em
ploye of the work train, was instantly
killed on the Pennsylvania railroad at
that place shortly after eight o'clock
yesterday morning.
The work train occupied the siding
at the engine house aud was waiting
for the passenger train due at 8:23
o'clock to pasi. Mr. Lucas was on the
caboose. He desired to leave the tram
for a moment and thoughtlessly step
ped down upon the main track. At
that moment the passenger traiu came
living along and before the unfortu
nate workman was aware of its ap
proach he was stiock aud left dying
upon the track.
The accident was wituessed by oth
er members of the crew. The man was
picked up aud Dr. Sivers was summon
ed. The injured man breathed his la»t
in a few minutes' time. Hs had sus
tained a bad injury about the head,
his both legs were broken and his chest
was staved iu. Uudertakei Halter, of
Berwick, took the body in charge.
The man killed was some forty years
of age. He leaves a wif»j and three
children,the eldest—a girl— being four
teen years of age.
ROOSEVELT INSISTS
TREATIES BE RATIFIED
WASHINGTON,Jan. ll.—lt may be
stated on the highest authority that
President Roosevelt will insist upon
the ratification of the various arbitra
tion treaties without the amendment.
If the S<v- ite emasculates them by ad
ditions v. -übtractious, the President
will withdraw them.
He believes that the treaties are es
sentially satisfactory now,and he will
not brook any tinkering with the
spirit of the instruments at the hands
of the Senate.
"President Roosevelt looks upon the
signing of the arbitration treaties with
the principal foreign powers as one of
the greatest steps yet taken iu the di
rection of universal peace," said a
geutleuiau very close to the administra
tion today.
COMPELLED TO

J. M. Kline of Bloomsburg, A. A.
Overholtzer, J. B. McHenry, of Ben
ton, and Edward Schenke.of Berwick,
•11 proprietors of hotels, were arrest
ed, the former on Tuesday aud the
other three yesterday, on information
of James Patterson,Factory Inspector,
for not complying with the law relat
ing to the erection of legal fire es
capes. Miles Betz served the warrants
and tfie hearing in each case was had
before Justice of the Peace Gny Jacoby.
An the law had not been lived op to
the gentlemen paid the usual fine and
costs, and will, within a reasonable
lime, erect proper escapes.
Rebuilding of County Bridges.
Governor Pennypacker has made t'te
following suggestion* with regard to
the rebuilding of county bridges iu
his biennial message to the Legi«la'-
nr«> •
With the respeot to the rebuilding
of county Dridges. I recommend that
the amount to be expended each year
for this purpose be fixed at such a
flgore as may seem to the Legislature
to be wise. Under the law, as it ex
ist* at present, there Is no limitation
to the sum which the Boaid of Public
Grounds and Buildings may be requir
ed to expend in this way,and at a time
of the coiuotdeuce of great floods aud
diminished revenues, the situation
might lead to serious embarrassment.
If a certaiu proportion of the cost of
construction of these bridges were left
to the counties instead of the whole
burden being imposed upon the State,
the? would have a substantial inter
est, not only iu makiDg effort to save
Ihe bridges from destruction, but also
in the preservation of such of the ma
larial as could be utilized.
There is no other great nation whioh
allows the circulation of dirty paper
monev is i- the case in the United
States iiie trouble here in doe to a
lack of law to compel batiks to have
their soiled bills redeemed. It is only
necessary to send them to a subtreasurv
and the government then pays there
mainder of the expense. There are a
sufficient Dumber of subtreasuries to
enable the banks to oomply with the
law without muuli expense. Disease is
conveyed by dirty bills But congr<*n
does nothiug to stop the evil.
A city charter agitation is again
coming to the front at Shatnobin, and
among the most ardent supporters of
the movement are prominent business
ineu who voted and worked against it
when the question came up for decis
ion at au election about seven years
ago. It is the intention to have the
citizens vote on tfie question aga n
this fall.

A SYMPATHETIC
LETTER
The remains of Fireman MeElwratli,
who was killed in the railroad wreck
near Weigh Scales, Monday morning,
were taken to Reaver Springs yester
day afternoon. Services were held at
the home, Sunbury, which were at
tended by a large number of railroad
men and friends of the deceasad.
The report was circulated Wednes
day that Mrs. Dunkelberger, the wife
of Operator Duukelberger, was dead,
bat this proved to be incorrect.
On Tuesday ev. niug Mr-i. Conser,
wife of Engineer Conser, received a
letter, addressed to herself and the
members of her family, from Operator
Dunkelberger, expressing his profound
soirow, and telling of his deep grief
as a result of the accident. The letter
is printed in full and is as follows:
Shainokin, Pa., Jan. 10, 1905.
Mrs. Conser aud Family—
I beg of you to read what 1
have to say in the lines follow
ing. It is the only way that I
see possible for me to express a
small amount of what I feel for
yon. It is almost impossible
for me to collect my scattered
thoughts together to do even
this much. To think of this
mistake with such horribly re
sults almost sets me wild, and
to think of you, poor widow
and fatherless children; Oh ! I
cannot express myself. I sym
pathize aud mourn with you
to the fullest meaning of the
words. If you were to demand
an excuse from me for such a
mistake,l would answer to the
fact that on yesterday morn
ing I went to work with one
particular thought," If I could
only stay home today." Hav
ing been at the bedside of my
wife whose condition was crit
ical, from Friday night until
yesterday, almost constantly,
my mind was in no condition
for work which was demand
ed of me; I thought of but lit
tle other than my sick wife.
Perhaps you would ask why
I went to work under the above
circumstances I would say,
just beginning in married life,
I felt as though every penny
counted aud my new cares de
manded it of me.
If only I could do some
thing, anvthing to replace
what has been takeu, but God
provides no way.
Then we were friends,work
ing together, you might say,
and getting a smile or a wave
of the hand each day and to
th'nk ; Oh,dear people ; I can't
think of it; its too much. And
what it means to you. I hate
to think of what may become
of me, but if even an oppor
tunity presents itself in daya
to come, believe me, if lam
at liberty to do so, I will
make as much reparation as
possible.
Taking this horrible catas
trophe and my wife's condition
all in mv imnd it is almost too
much,and I beg of you in your
judgment on me to be kind
enough to show some mercy.
It is the first mistake of this
kind I ever made and at what
a cost. Again I beg of you to
accept my deepest sympathy,
as well as that of my parents.
My wife d.ue know nothing of
it. In these, your sad mo
ments, I mourn with your
family as well as Mr. McEl-
Wrath's. But I can say no more
and I dare not think of what
may become of me. May God
be with you in these sad days.
Very sincerely,
W. HAKRY DUNKELBERGER.
(The operator).
While in the hour of their deep be
reavement the members of both fami
lies express their tender sympathies
for Dunkelberger and realize and state
that any peison is liable to make a
mistake.

FIRE DRIVES
OUT FAMILY
Fire at midnight, Tuesday night, de
stroyed the liou~e on Railroad street
near Main in Catawissa, owned by
William Ever, of Florida, and oc
cupied by Ward Coruolison. The
family had a narrow escape from
death,being awakened only in time to
escape, without haviug time to fully
dress. The few clothes that the fath
er and mother and a three years old
child were able to wrap aronud them
selves were practically a»l that they
saved from their home.
When the fire was first discovered by
the Hollingshead boys it had already
aained frightful headway. The family
was aroused aud the fire alarm sound
ed,aud quickly the Catawissa Fire Ue
partment responded. Notwithstanding
their most valiant efforts the home
conld not be saved. Through their ef
forts. however, the home of P. W.
Gordon nearby was saved The cause
of the fire is unknown, but it started
in the rear of the house.
The unfortunate family who only a
few days ago buried their only other
child, a several days' old baby, and t« ,
whom the loss of their home comes
doubly hard, were taken to 3. B.
Rhawn's where they spent the night.

HORTON THE DONOR
TO GREAT CATHEDRAL
NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—Speculation
in church circles as to the identity of
the giver of $600,000 to the Cathedial
of St. John the Divine,has been set at
rest by the announcement that the
douor is former Vice President and
Governor Levi P. Morton. Of this sum
$450,000 will be used to build tiiat por
tion of the great structure to be known
as the ohoir and the remainder in fur
nishing the ctioir with an altar, organ
reredos and other fittings. The organ
is to be'a joint gift of Mr. and Mrs.
Morton and will be a memorial to their
daughter who died in Paris last June.
, Mr. Morton's $600,000, with $150,000
already iu the hands of the trustees
and SIOO,OOO more pledged leaves onlv
$150,000 of the $1,000,000, needed to
complete the second stage to be raised.
The Cathedral thus far advanced, will
be the largest church in New York
and will be ready for services in throe
years. It will accommodate 5,000 per
sons.
There is more Catarrh In this sectionof tha
ountry thanall other diseases put together
and until the last few years was supposed to
be ncurable.oFor a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed
oeai remedies, and by constantly falling to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. .1. Cheney & Co.
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. It is taken internally in

Broken Resolutions.
And now, after a week or so, have
yonr New Year's resolutions withered?
Have you already neglected the nice
new diary? Have yoo goue back to
smoking after a few days of martyr
dom? Are you up against the booze
once more?
Well, you are not the only one.
The man who fails iu his high res
olutions has lots of company.
There are people who say that good j
resolutions are bad because failure in
them reveals to one his own weak
nesses and slavery to habit; having
once failed, lie is less likely ever to
try agaiu with the hope and confidence
so necessary to success.
But isn't it better to know yonr
weaknesses than to be blind to them.
Diagnosis precedes cure.
Isn't it oetter to have tried once and
failed than never to have tried at all?
Strength comes of effort.
Isn't it better to have had a week
or a day even—of sobriety for your
self and of happiness and hope foryoar
wife and children,to have had a clear
braiued look at youself and the world
about you, and to have known for a
little while at least how it feels to be
a man and master of yourself?
One battle does not decide a cam
paign. One failure, one reverse, or a
dozen of them need not mean defeat.
There is no need of waiting until
next year to try acain. A good resolu
tion and good efforts are as good on
one day as another. They are best of
all when made every day.
Having failed, there is no need to
drag out a whole year in helpless and
vain regrets. There is nothing magical
about the begiuuiug of the year or the
ending of it. The only psychological
moment for throwing off the thraldom
of an injurious habit is the moment
! when you have the courage to try.
Years are big spaces. We live by
days. Every morning when we wake
a new world begins; every night when
we drop to sleep tlie old world dies.
| Years, centuries,are nothing to us but
names; it is the days, hours, initiates,
seconds, that onr ours.
The great events of world history
have not waited upon arbitrary inea
! surements of time,nor need the affairs
[ of any man's life.
The best time to try to get up is
when you realize that you have fal
! len. Yearly efforts may fall forever,
| while daily efforts may soon succeed.
