YOUNG MAN'S SAD DEATH.
Mangled Under the WlteeU of Cam at.
Jeililo on .Saturday Morning.
John Fox, aged 17 years, employed by
Marklo Co. in Jeddo mines, was in
stantly killed on Saturday morning by
falling off a locie on which he was riding.
The young man was an oiler of cars and
was going for oil when death overtook
him. lie jumped on the locie which
was going in the direction of the oil
house, and when he nuared the destina
tion he in some manner fell off the
engine directly on the rails and the
wheels of the two cars following passed
over his abdomen, almost cutting him
iu two. He was still alive when picked
up. but expired whilo being taken to
his home iu l'ink Ash.
It is not known just how ho fell from
the engine, as the engineer and assistant
were busily engaged at their duties
when lie fell. A noise from the rear
warned them that something was amiss
and they found young Fox missing.
The engine was stopped and the young
man was found under the wheel of the
last car, having been dragged a distance
of about lifty feet. Mine Inspector
Davis was notified shortly afterward
and he proceeded to Jeddo and investi
gated the circumstances. No inquest
will be hold.
The deceased was born in Llazloton
and was the son of Peter Fox. About
llvo years ago the family moved to Jeddo
where they have since resided. A parti
cularly sad feature of the affair was
that Saturday was to have been his last
shift at the works, as ho was about to
prepare himself for admission to the
lilooinsburg state normal school. lie
was to have gouo to visit an uncle in
New Jersey today. He is survived by
his parents, two brothers and a sister,
James, Edward and Sadie A.
The funeral will take place this after
noon from his home in Jeddo. The
remains will be taken t > llazloton and
interment made in St. Gabriel's ceme
tery. Special traction cars will leave
Jeddo at 3 o'clock.

The per capita tax question, which
caused a heated debate on Thursday,

ant to Jhe grand keeper of records and
seal was defeated. Entire new amend
ments, embodying a new code of statutes,,

Gartiiaii'rt I'robuble Retirement.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Fresh rumors of an intention on the
part of Garinan to retire from the man
agement of tho Democratic campaign
wero rife yesterday. It is not belie,vod,
however, that he will voluntary relin
quish the position. It is well known that
Gubernatorial Candidate Jenks insists
upon a campaign committee to look after
his interests. This, of course, means
that he does not want Garinan to be
manager. The latter protested against
this lack of confidence in his ability to
the last at Bedford, but it is now well
known to the close friends of Mr. Jenks
that the campaign committee will be
appointed.
In order to let Garinan down easy he
will be permitted to announce the names
of the campaign committee, but Mr.
Jenks will furnish tho list. When this
committee Is appointed, leading Demo
crats who refuse to contribute cash while
Gar man Is in charge are expected to
come forward with the money needed to
make the state contest.

FOR A LAND VALUE TAX.
QUESTION IS ASSUMING GREAT IM
PORTANCE ABROAD.
New Zealand's Hfecape from Commercial
Depression Due Directly to tlie Single
Tax Features of Its Laws-Will Soon
Sweep Over Kngland.
Henry George, Jr., who at present Is
in England studying the questions of
political economy of that country, in one
of his weekly letters to a newspaper
syndicate in the United States, writes
as follows of the growth of tax reform
in Great Britain:
"When again the war drums shall
have ceased to beat and our puoplo shall
have returned to the ways of peace one
of the early results of the era of good
feeling among the English-speaking
peoples will be to thrust upon the atten
tion of Americans a question that is fast
assuming first place in the practical
I politics of the British empire—a ques
tion which in the United States is known
as the single tax.
"It is urged here that the British colony
of New Zealand was the only English
speaking country to escape tho world
wide commorical depression of the last
few years, because by laying a tax on
land values she reduced land speculation
and forced vacant land into use, conse
quently reduced all ground rents and
thereby relieved all renters of land,
whether farmers, timber cutters, grazers,
manufacturers, merchants or mere dwell
ers, which sent such a thrill of prosper
ity through every channel of industry
throughout New Zealand as to keep
every workman busy. It is pointed out
that seeing this, the Australian colony of
Now South Wales, after a protracted
political fight, put a special tax upon
land values with rosults much like;
those witnessed in New Zealand; and, j
furthermore, that the policy of institut
ing a land value tax is rising as the first
question in political contests in Natal,
South Africa and in other British col
onies.
THE MOVEMENT IN KNGLAND.
' But it is in Great Britain and Ireland
that the question has assumed Its great
est importance. Two hundred and sixty
town councils and other local authori
ties in Great Britain, including'those of
the two greatest cities in the ompiro—
London and Glasgow—have petitiono!
parliament for the right to raise local
revenues from land values, and this is
supported by commericial bodies and al
most unanimously by the trades unions,
which here are much stronger than they
are in the United Statos. So clear lias
this question grown in tho local affairs
of London, for instance, that In the
county council olection last March it be
came tho chief cry, and the vast in
fluenco of such great land owners as the
Dukes of Westminster and Bedford,
combined with the threats of the Tory
government, was thrown solidly against
it. But tho Liberal party candidates,
known locally as 'Progressive,' were
elected with an overwhelming majority.
"But nothing can bo done in those
local bodies respecting tho incidence of
taxation without the consent of puriia
ment, so that all pressure in favor of
taxing land values R gathering against
that body.
LUiKRAI. I'AISTY ACTION.
"Now the Tory party, which is the land- j
lords' party, stands as a rock for 'vest- I
od rights,' and it Is likely to be joined j
by the old Whig element in the Liberal
party in parliament the moment that any
general attack is made on land values.
So long as they hold control of parlia
ment, no steps In imperial taxation will
be taken toward tho single tax, nor will
the local govcruionts get authority to go
to the land values for their municipal
revenues.
"It is to the Radicals and tho mass of
the Liberal party—to such men as those
who forced the repeal of tho Corn laws,
the extension of tho suffrage and tho
establishment of public schools—that
those who favor the taxation of land
values now look.
"And tho Liberal party, bending to
popular will, has in many ways coin
mittod itself to the principle. In its
party platform, known here as the New
castle Programme, it declares for a
'reform of the land laws such as will
secure * * * tho just, taxation of
land values and ground rents.' And at
tho conference last November of tho
Scottish Liberal Association composed
of representatives of all tho Liberal
associations in Scotland, It was un
animously declared:
" 'That., Whereas tho land question
lies at the root, of the social problem;
that, land monopoly, which is directly
caused by the value of land being exempt
from taxation, forces labor Into involun
tary idleness, and thus creates an unem
ployed class; and. whereas the values of
land are created by the presence, in
dustry and growth of the people, this
conference Is of opinion that the taxa-
