Automobiles and the Roads.
Au exchange looks upon the question
of how the growing use automobiles
will effect public highways as fol
lows ;
It is contended now that automobiles
damage the roads. The Municipal
Journal is of the opiuion that no one
influence was more effective in obtain
ing smoother roads in this country
than the bicycle, anil it has already
become apparent that the automobile
is probably to effect as great a change
in the nature of the surface material
or in the adoption of processes for re- j
ducing dust. Mr. J araes H. McDonald,
State Highway Commissioner of Con
necticut, in his biennial report, states
that their roads have shown more wear
on tii© surface during the last two
years than for any similar period since
the commencement of macadam con
struction.
"The low-hanging machinery of the
car restricts the space from the top of
the road to a narrow opening which
the rapidly moving car transfroms in
to a draft, the suction from which re
moves all loose or insecure particles
from the surface of the road, very
mncli as a carpet sweeper operates."
The screenings on the top of a road.he.
states,serve the double purpose of pro
tecting the underlying stone from di
rect contact with the shoes of horses
and tires of wagons, and also retain
moisture in the summer time,tiins pre
serving the cementing properties of
the screenings, and in winter furnish
a covering which lessens the entrance
of frost into the road; and it is this
protecting top which the automobile
removes, permitting the raveling out
of the stone by horses or heavy rain.
Owing to this condition, lie states that
a revolution in the constrcution of the
roads will have to take place wherever
macadam roads are laid, so as to re
duce the expense of care and mainten
ance after the roads have been built.
If it is necessary to use a binder of
coal-tar, pitch or asphalt, the cost of
roads will be considerably increased.
He suggests that the use of coal-tar or
crude oil on the macadam roads which
have already been laid promises good
results. If some such means will re
move the necessity for constant repair
the advent of automobiles may prove
a blessing in disguise. The concensus
of opinion of a number of geutlemeu
who own and use automobiles seem to
be that the automobile does injure our
roads, and they are ready to contri
bute something towards the extraord
inary expense entailed in beeping the
roads in repair,provided the money so
contributed shall be used for the caro
ami maintenance ot mese roans, AIMS
is a very commeudable spirit, and
should greatly simplify the work of
those who have to do with this ques
tion.
Railways and the Oourts.
Down in North Carolina there is a
conflict- between State and Federal
courts. The'state legislature recently
passed a low fare passenger law which
has been disregarded by the railroads.
A railroad agent was arrested for con
tinuing to sell tickets at the old rate.
A United States judge issued a writ to
restrain the enforcement of the state
law. It was feared that the court
might issue a writ of habeas corpus
for the production of the imprisoned
agent. The state court has therefore
ordered the sheriff to turn the man
over to its own custody. If the Feder
al court persists in demanding the
release of the agent and in continu
ance of its injunction until a final de
cision, an interesting situation will
be developed. lu that event the final
decision will, of course, rest with the
Federal Supreme court, to whose decis- !
ion all parties will have to bow.
The case will serve to increase pub- j
lie interest in the question as to the |
power of the Federal courts to take j
prior jurisdiction in cases involving
the validity of state laws.
The outcome of the present judicial
contest will be watched with intense
interest the country over. Upon the
final decision in this matter great is
sues depends. Pennsylvania with its
recently passed two cent fare bill is j
directly concerned. The railraods in
this state have instituted legal proceed
ings to test the constitutionality of
the new fare law by a different meth
od, but which anticipates the same
end arrived at in North Carolina. Here
the legal course begins in cur local i
courts and will run the gauntlet of the
State courts before it reaches the Unit
ed States Supreme court on appeal.
But there is where the cases will seek
final decision on the contention at is
sue. The method adopted by the
Southern Railroad in North Carolina
is somewhat of a short cut-jumping
over the state courts institutes proceed
ings before the Federal court as to the
validity of the state law. Should the
Federal court decide in favor of the
Southern Railroad it would practi
cally knock out the rate laws passed
n all our states, and make rate regu
lation a national matter. It would
bring all the railroads of the country j
under Federal control. While this I
would greatly simplify the question,
it would be a long step toward cen
tralization of power now looked upon
with apprehension and suspicion by
many of our more conservative citi
zens. Taking into consideration all
that, is involved the Nortn Carolina
situation is momeutobs.
A New Yorker has invented a barrel j
which, when empty, may be taken [
apart.
RENDERED BILLS
FOR PAVING
The borough secretary yesterday
rendered bills for curbing to the own
ers of property that abuts on North
Mill street, where paving is in prog
ress.
There are some facts relating to the
1 curbing that the general reader is in
terested in. To begin with, the bill
of T. L Evans' sous, the contractors,
for the whole work was $1,852. Of
this sum the property owners pay $1,420
leaviug as the borough's share in
round figures, $432. The latter sum
paid by the borough represents the
cost of intersections, corner stones
and the paving of the entrance to the
Continental hose house.
The cost for curbing falls heaviest
on the Reading Iron company, which
owns practically all the west side of
the street, lined with the row of ten
ant houses. The aggregate length to
be paid for by the Reading Iron com
pany is just 1139 feet aud 8 iuclies,
which at 71 cents per foot, the figure
agreed upon, amounts to $809.16.
Iu connection with the cost it is
gratifying to state that a better job
of curbing was never done than T. L.
Evans' sons have completed on North
Mill streot. The work has been re
peatedly admired by those who have
visited the street since the improve
ineuts began.

SUICIDE NEAR
WEST MILTON
John D. McCollum, a puddler em
ployed at the Godcharles mill, Milton,
enden his life in a very mysterious
manner about eight o'clock yesterday
morning, at his home about a mile
west of White Deer. Yesterday morn
ing McCollum did not goto work
but dressed togo back in the moun
tains and gather huckleberries. His
wife left the breakfast table while he
was still eating his breakfast and
went to an outhouse, near the rear of
the kitchen. Shortly after she heard a
shot and at. the same time felt the
building shake. She did not come out
until a little later when she heard a
second shot. When she reached the
hack steps she found her husband ly
ing on the grouud in a pool of blood—
dead. She called to some neighbors
and Coroner Allemau.of West Milton, j
was notified. He drove out and em
panelled a jury composed of the fol
lowing persons : Thomas Kidd,Charles
Huff, W. H. Snyder, John T. Huff,
Wm. Kulp.J. F. Huff,who after mak
ing an investigation and hearing the
story of Mrs. McCollum rendered a
verdict of suicide. The dead mail was
twenty-four years old. He leaves a
wife aud one small child. He and his
wife did not live happily; they quar
reled frequently, aud although Mrs.
McCollum denied that they had an
unpleasantness yesterday morning be
fore the rash act was committed, the
neighbors think in was the culmina
tion of one of their frequent family
rows. The feeling generally prevails
in the vicinity that McCollum shot
though the door of the outhouse with
the intention of killing his wife, and
that wheu she did not come out or
make any outcry, that Ie though he
had killed and that he sent the
bullet into his own brain in the belief
that she too had been put out of the
way. The weapon used was a thirty
two caliber revolver. The bullet enter
ed his right eye but did not go through
t'le skull. There were two empty
chambers, which bears out his wife's
story The jury also examined the
door of the outhouse and found the
newly made bullet hole through the
door McCollum is the fellow who
shot a young girl named Smith about
a year ago—he claimed accidentally.
He was arrested at the time and given
a hearing but was discharged, there
being no evidence to rebut the prison
er's 'daim that the shooting was ac
-1 cid, ntal. There was considerable
I doubt at the time on this point, aud
not long ago ho stated to a relative of
j the wounded girl, that the shooting
worried liitn nil the time. There is
little doubt but that he took his own
life fully believing that he had inur
! dered his wife.

GIRL STOLE
. WHILE IN JAIL
Miss Bessie Miller, who recently was
sent to jail at Sunbury on a charge of
theft, was released Satnrday. Her fa
ther settled the case by returning the j
clothes she had stolen to their rightful
owners and by paying the costs of the
proceedings.
Some time after Miss Miller had se
cured her freedom a prisouer in the
woman's part of the jail missed sev
eral articles of clothing. She made a
frantic search for tliem bat finally I
gave up and told the warden that the !
articles had probably found their way |
into the wardrobe of Miss Miller,who
by that time was out of reach. The :
other women in the Suubury jail are j
now taking inventories of all their \
possessions to determine how much es- j
caped the light fingers of Miss Miller. :
The jail records show that the maj
ority of the Miller family have served
time in prison. The father spent some
months there.his youthful sou was ar- \
rested and charged with tripping a 1
Shamokiu woman carrying an im
mense basket of dishes and Miss Bessie j
lias now served two terms.
Harvesting by Moonlight.
Several thousand acres of Lehigh !
county wheat were cut last week by
moonlight. The harvest, already three
weeks late ou account of cold weather :
in spring was much delayed by the ;
rains of the past fortnight. Farmers |
accordingly took advantage of the full
moon to out their grain, which was
dead ripe. Self-binders were brought j
into play, and relays of horses used, i
The moon was so bright that it was as ,
easy to reap the grain by night as by j
day. Some farmers kept their binders ]
running without stopping for sixty :
hours. The tarmers paid neighboring
boys and girls twenty cents an hour to
shock the grain as fast as the reapers ,
cut it,besides giving thein three meals,
breakfast,dinner and supper,and three
luncheons at I) a. m., 3 p. m.and at
midnight. Some of the boys and girls !
worked a full twenty-four hours for a
day,making §4.Bo.besides getting their
board. This is believed to be the rec
ord for farm labor in the United
States. Even at that the farmers re- j
garded the work done for thein more |
as an accommodation than cold-blood
ed labor done for hire. Many of the
harvest workers thus employed are
school teachers, their recompense for j
working in the fields being double
that of the school room. The harvest
which is about half completed, is pro
lific beyoud all expectations.

MUST EXPLAIN
HARRI3BURG, July 31.
A special from Beach Haven, N. J.,
today says:
From what can be gathered from the
members of the capitol investigation
commission, the commission is pre
pared togo the limit in advocating
the puuißhmeut of every man who in
any way profited illegally from the i
capitol contracts.
PENNYPACKER NOT TO ESCAPE, j
j It is reported no v that former Gov- I
, ernor Penuypacker is not to escape j
1 wholly free.
It is said that the members of the
j commission are of the opinion that
| Mr. Pennypacker.iii his testimony be
j fore them, showed that he had reason
to be suspicious of the manner in i
which the -State's mouev was being j
! squandered and yet did nothing to stop '
j the leak.
MUST EXPLAIN TO COURT
It is now proposed, it is said, to j
; make him explain to a court why lie
remained iuactive.
It seems almost certain that crimiu-
I al as well as civil prosecutions are to
be recommeuded by the commission,
; though none of the members will say
just what will be the tenor of their
report.
I PROCEEDINGS AER CERTAIN. j
! It is almost certain, however, that !
| Sanderson aud Huston as well as ev- j
ery former State ocftiial who had any
part in approving or passing upon the j
capitol contracts, will be named as
among those against whom legal pro
i ceedings should be begun.
Finger Hashed.
; Fred Bush, a young man employed
at the Reading Iron works, had one j
i of the fingers of the left hand mashed :
yesterday forenoon. He called at the
office of Dr. Curry, where he received
surgical attention.
A dualin cap that was in a bucket j
of coal, at the home of James McCoy,
| at Hazleton, after being dumped into
j the stove, exploded and shattered the
stove into pieces. Some of the pieces i
struck Mrs. McCoy in the face.
! The latest news from Harrisburg is
to the effect that the project to build
a splendid ii) 00,000 hotel ou the site of
the burned opera block, has been
abandoned.
Mary Wolfe, a 2-year-old daughter
of C. J. G. H. Wolfe, of Freeport
Mills, Lebanon couut.v,ou Monday fell
into a bucket of boilding water stand
ing on the porch, and was scalded to

The Story of a Medicine.
Its name—"Golden Medical Discovery*

ant and valuable ingredients Golden
Seal root.
Nearly forty year? ago. Dr. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use Of pur*,
triple-refined glycerine, aided by a cer
tain degree of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of upparaius and
appliances designed fir that purp' ,-e, ex
tract from our most v luable native me
dicinal roots their c ratlVe properties
much better than by :he use of alcchol,
so generally employee.. So the now world
famed "Golden Medical Discovery," for
the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or
dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and
kindred derangements was first made, as
| It ever sinae has w»en, without a particle
