Dear Sir: Another serious acci dent has boon added to the nmnor. ous mishaps which hnvo occurred on tho Connslinugh hill. Those dw asters have been so frequent, and attended with such serious results that, the remedy becomes a mutter of public concern. Two methods suggest themselves : Tho first, by cutting down tho hill nt each end, and idling in tho cen tre, but while the grade could be greatly reduced, tho sharp turn would still remain. The other, and I think better, method is to make a detour, turning in at tho side of Mr. Davenport's residence nnd meeting the road again near Cave Bunk. Both plans require a considerable outlay of money and will probably meet with tho objection that the county is too poor. To my mind, no expense is too great whoro thous ands of lives nre concerned, as is the caso on a highway as much traversed as our Delaware Valley roads, and your render would per. haps agree without hesitation had he been with mo when I, returning from Milford on my wheel, over took that party bent on the enjoy ment, of the drive on that glorious ifternoon, and five minutes later, heard the crash, and saw the horses dash up the hill, ami tho wagon a wreck nt the bottom, and its unfor tunate occupants being disentangled from the ruins, injured and bleed ing- If, however, the exponse does prove too great an obstacle let us urge up n our Membor of Congress to introduce a small appropriation bill of, say $1000. Our State Constitution prevents tho Legislature from milking appro priations to specific highways, but is this is a highway largely traveled and a U. S. Mail route, Congress would be perfectly justified in mak ing the appropriation, and I desire to urge on tho Pike County Press as tho leading newspaper of tho County, the advisability of taking this matter in hand and using its influence to seouro its promulga tion. Before closing I desire to call your attention to the unsafe condition of guard rails at bridges and many places, particularly nt Cave Bunk. They are in such poor condition there that if an accident occurred, not the result of carelessness, I be lieve the township would be liable to a suit for negligent construction. A few dollars of preventative mny save many dollars of damages in this case, nnd it would be well for our officials to do their duty before asking us to vote for them nt the next election. Very Truly, Philip F. Fulmer, Jr. Another plan of changing tho road at Conashaugh to avoid tho hills would sooui feasible, which is to follow a long the side of the hill going from Milford, crossing the stream at a right nngle somo dis tance abovo the forks of the roads and following around on top of the bank back of the Spring. This would make a practically level road would not particularly lengthen the distance, and exclusive of the bridgo, which should bo a stone arch, costing say (350, would not bo expensive. We agree with rur correspondent that some romedy should be devised to obviate the dangerous grades and sharp turn. Ed Press. A PARTY OF ANGELS. The Lnnsiord Record says edi torially that Judge Albright's do cisiou in the Barber-Lauor matter has ldwcred him in the esteem of a large bulk of Curlxm County people, and th.it but one const ruction can be put on bis opinion, nnd that is, that he believes the Barber party are angols, and tho party of Laucr the reverse. Tho editor forgets, perhaps, that there are two kinds of angels and that in the Judge's opinion the Lauerites may be angels, too only fallen ones. Ho further says that the language of the opinion sounds ns if the Judge does not believe Mulhearn under oath, who we ussume must have testified that flvo delegates did not demand the yeas and nays. Clearly it does nof follow that the Court so estimates Mul beam's evi dence, it only shows that the weight of testimony was against him. The yeas and nays may have been de manded by a dozen, and it is possi ble he did not hear them call. The opinion, which is published in the same paper, seems fair iu its state ment of facts and sound in its con clusions of law, and will bear close and impartial scrutiny.

Now that the State law prohibits killing deer before Nov 1st, many sportsmen argue that the Pike Co. special law of 1878 is in force, be cause that allows thou; to bo killed after Oct. 1 and until Dec. 1st. For merly those eiimo persons maintain ed that tho State law of 1878 was in force beeauso under that they could hunt deer from Oct. 1 to Deo. 18. Those chaps favor the law which gives them the longest time, regard less of what Act may bo in force An opinion from a high legal source in regard to the season dur ing which deer mny be killed in Pike says: "Tho Act of 1897 was Intended to repeal all general nnd special laws in any way in conflict with its provisions. Under its provisions any special Acts relating to Pike County wore absolutely re pealed if they were in any sense in consistent, with the Act of 1897. Your season for bunting deer there fore, in Pike County would bo con trolled by the provisions of the Act of 1897, iu tho fourth section of which it is provided that deer shnll be tnkenjonly during tho month of Novomber. It would bo unlawful to kill or take them during nny other portion of Hie year." Those interested would do well to note tho nbive opinion as it un doubtedly is in accordance with a correct construction of the law on this subject.

AVERT SERIOUS ACCIDENT. A fatality seems to attend Thurs- lays i'l this locality. For throe successive weeks sonous accidents have occurred near hero, on that day, tho first being that of tho Wil. liams family and Miss Pelton, who wore visiting Sawkill Falls, when the team ran away and throe per sons wero hurt ; the second that of A. D. Brown nod his two daughters, the former having his ci liar bono broken, nnd now tho third occurring Sept. 29 nenr Conashnugh. E. B. Wilkins, ot New York, nnd Mrs. James Kcnworthey, of Mil ford, nnd hor sister.Mrs.G. Weaver, of N. Y., were driving a teHin be longing to John Findlay j whou on top of the hill nppronching the Con nshaugh from Milford, tho team be gan going down nt a lively pace, and nt tho bottom, just at tho sharp turn tho wagon, which was of the Bluino' make, struck a telephone polo and was completely demolish ed, nnd tho two lady occupants wero precipitated down tho bank Mrs. Wcavbr had an arm brokon and her Polvis fractured and Mrs. Kenworthey had hor arm nnd collar bone broken. The gentlemnn struck the post, but beyond being somewhat dazed for a few minutes was not much injured. The horses wero caught, near tho place and were not nt. all hurt. It is some what difficult to state tho prociso 'ii use of tho accident. Some parties nt. the Conashaugh House say they saw theteam coming rapidly down the hill, nnd ran to meet it, nnd did so on tho bridgo, the wngon nnd oc cupants having been left beyond. It is also said that the team was only going down at a moderate pace and whon at tho turn nt the foot of the hill, a wagon wheel sud denly dished, which swerved them toward tho pole. Others sny they were too loosely hitched nnd the carriage struck thoir heels, causing them to kick nnd run. Whatever the cause, it was a very serious nccideut nnd hns resulted probably in a permanent Injury of the two ladies. At this time they are resting comfortably, nnd are improving as well ns oould be ex pected. Drs. R. G. Barckloy nnd Dr. Konworthey, the son of one of the injured ladies, nttoud them. CALLS HIM SOFT NAMES. The Easton Express this weok in very long article dissects Dr. Shull's statements as to his har mony efforts in the recent Con gressional nomination squabble, both nt Mauch Chunk nnd Eiston. The Doctor, nccording to the Ex press, assorted first that ho did not receive the telegram from Kom morer, of Northampton, ndvising him of the change of the time of the Mauch Chunk mooting, nnd, second, that his Conferees wore not present at Easton through his direction. It controverts both thoso proposi tions nnd publishes the telogrnm Bout to nnd received by Dr. Shull, notifying him of the change in time. It further says no invitation to meet at Easton was sent to any other person in Monr.e thin Dr. Shull. Nevertheless his oonforeos wero present, nnd puts the matter in this o wring way : "Shull is in the throes of a political death and in this ter rible mind distracting position he is saying things that unfortunately for his reputa tion for truth and ver acity, aro not strictly in tho line of good judgment." This is quite tantamount to a dec laration that the "always going" Dr. is untruthful in his statements, nnd will no doubt, ns is intended it it should, go a long way towards harmonizing the amiable candidate and his friends. Northampton evi dently wants to lie down with the lambs of Monroo, but they will take tho proper precaution of having the lambs completely enveloped with their tawny skitis when they thus fraternize. There wont bo even a wiggling tail left to indicate tho previous existence of the wooly geu tlemen. QUAY AND SON ARRESTED. Warrants were issued last Sat urday for the arrest of U. S. Sena tor M. 8.

President McKinley hns been givon much satisfactory informa tion on the outlook for Republican success in tho congressional cam paign, by his callers during tho last two or three dnys. Among thoso who gave this information wore Sonntors Hanna, of Ohio ; Mason, of Ills. ; and Pritchard, of N. C. ; Ex-Oov. Merriam, of Minn. ; Rep resentatives Cannon, of Ills., nnd Hempburn, of Iowa, nnd Mr. A. E. Holton, Chairman of tho Republi can State Committee, of N. C. The last-nnmod told the President that tho Republicans would gain two Congressmen iu N. C. Tho gener al tenor of all the information given the President is that tho Republi cans ha ve nothing to foarexcept tho existing over confidenco, which makes it difficult to convince tho Republican voters that their votes will bo needod this year. Sinco tho war investigation com mission began inviting editors of the yellow journals to furnis'i tho names of witnesses to prove sensa tional charges made by them in thoir papers, there has been a mark ed falling off iu tho number of such publications, but up to this time none of tho yellow editors hnvo at tempted to furnish tho evidence nsk ed for. The commission has its work pretty well mapped out, now, and this week will begin tho taking of testimony. The Presidont nnd Soorotnry Alger are both aiding tho Commission in every way possi ble. It is customary whenever a no w Secretary of State assumes office, for him to hold a reception to the mombors of tho Diplomatic corps, for the purpose of formal introduct ion nnd the establish ment of official rotations. Soorotary Hay, w ho wns sworn in last weok, held a reception io day in .the diplomatic room in the State Department, that was at tended by reprosontntivss of every country with which we have dip lomatic relations. Many of tho old er diplomats hare long boen person al friends of Secretary Hiiy, for whom thoy predict a brilliant ca reer (is Seorotary of State. The War Department gave Col. Brynn nnd Gov. Holcomb more th -n thoy expected whon it requested the latter to decido whethor the regiment of Nebraska volunteers, now nt Manila, or that command ed by Col. Bryan, shall be mustorod out of the sorvioo. It was a clear enso of beating those two very cute politicians at thoir own game. They expected the War Department to naino the regimont to bo mustered out, nnd wore prepared t charge injustice no matter which was chos en. Now, they re bound to keep their mouths closed, nnd Col. Bryan himself must take the responsibility of dociding whether his rogimont remains in service or is mustered out, as it is known that ho will dio tate Gov. Holoomb's decision. From almost every foreign coun try comes an increased demand for American goods we aro actually soiling silks in Franco. Tho follow ing report from the U S. Consul at Atbons, Greece, which has just reached the Department of State, speaks for itself : "There cannot be the least doubt of the necessity of n direct line of steamships between tho U. S. and Mediterranean ports. There is a wide fiold and large pro fits for a well manng.vl line, and it should be an American one, flying tho stars and stripes, if possiblo. Many of the stores of Athens all thoso that keep tho imported arti clos exhibit American goods for sale as English goods, they having been imported from England. Near ly every mail brings letters of in quiry to this consulate from mer chants of tho U. 8., nil unxious to find a market here for their pro ducts ; for it is becoming generally known that Greece imports nearly all kinds of goods and machinery The English, German and French transportation companies that call here are doing a good business ; but the Greek importers want a chance to get imports directly from Amer ica, and thus save tho profits of the middlemen." There is much gossip in political circles concerning the comparative ease with which Boss Croker down ed ex-Senator Hill at the Domocrat io Convention in New York, and compelled Hill to accept Judge Van Wyck ns the party candidate for Governor after he had declared I moot positively that he would not support nny man from New York City or Brooklyn for the nomina tion. It is said that there was treachery among those whom Hill had counted npon to stand by him. No matter how bo accomplished his purpose, thero is no doubt that Cro ker named the whole State ticket and thnt ho is now the boss of tho whole Democratic State outfit, as well as of Tammany. Neither is there any doubt that Croker's tri umph hns added to the certainty of Col. Roosevelt's oloction to the Gov ernorship. Senator Hanna, who is now in Washington, says thnt ho doesn't know what tho instructions givon to tho American Peaco Commission ers, now in Paris, wero, bnt that he regards American possession of the entire Philippine group ns nn inov- tablo result of the meeting of the Peace Commission, and expects that we will hnvo to maintain about tho same sort of government over them as will bo maintained in Cuba, until Congress decides what shnll be done with them. He says ho bases his opinion upon tho idea that he finds prevalent everywhere that we can not allow Spanish rulo to continue on any of the islands, whether we desire to keep them 6ursolves or not. CORNER STONE LAID. Tuesday, Sept. 27, tho corner stone of tho new Reformed Church it Montaguo wns lnid with nppro- printo ceremonies. An historical sketch was read by Rov. S. W. Mills, giving tho namoof tho organ- zor nnd sucoossivo pastors. It was organizod August 23, 1737, by Rov, Goorgo W. Mincius, pastor of tho church nt Esopns, now Kingston. Churches were at the same time es tablished at Smithfiold, Walpack, and Maohaokomock, Sorviccs wero only held in them twice a year for tho first four years, whon tho Rov. Mancius came down the valley. Johannes Casparns Freyenmoet, who lived opposite Nomanock Is land, was tho first pastor iu charge of these churches, which pastorate continued from 1741 to 1756. Ho was succeeded by Rov. Thos. Romeyn from 1700 to 1772. Tho churches wero vacant during tho Revolutionary War and long after, in all a period of thirteen years. Rov. Elias Van Bensohoton minis tered from 1785 to 1799 and during that time organizod tho Clovo Re formed Church near Duckertown. Rov. John Domarost, tho first min ister whoso sermons woro in Eng lish, tho formor ministers having preached gonerally in Dutch, ro mainod from 1803 to 1808. The church has been organizod 1G1 years, and during that time has had sovontoen pastors, tho last having boen Rov. Gilbert Lane, who died in April 1896. Rov. T. II. MicKonsio. of Port Jervis, pastor of tho Dnirpark Rs- formed Church, also dolivored an address. Thero were placed in the cor nor stone a copy of tho historical address, a Confodorato 20 bill, somo coins and a few othor articles. Tho form propirod for tho ceremony was read by Rev. T. D. Harris, of the Second Riformod Church of Doorp.ark, tho Doxology sung, and tho coromonios concluded. A GOOD RESOLUTION. The resolution passed by tho con ference nominating Hon. W. 8 Kirkpatrick, is as follows : Resolved, That it is the sense of this Congressional Conference that our candidate, the Hon, W. S. Kirk patrick, if elected, be hereby direct ed to use his utmost ondeavors to have our national policy so directed that the flag of this great nation shall never be lowered over the land it now flios, nnd thnt tho blessings of our liberty and freedom be off ered those down-trodden nnd be nighted people who inhabit the lands won by our brave soldiers and sailors by force of arms. The resolution was ndopted, and Judge Kirkpatrick referred to his record in Congress as evidence of the fact that he heartily concurred in the sentiment expressed in the resolution. POSTAL BANKING. An ordor has boon issuod by the Post Office department authorizing pjst musters to issue money orders payable at their own offices. This will accommodate many peoplejwho have no bank accounts and wish to follow a sufe and economical method of paying bills, and enables a person in towns like this to pay small debts to farmers and others through this medium. , JUDGE KIRKPATRIOK'S ACCEPTANCE. Alwtrnct of Hla Sprph lt.fore the Elichth JMrttrlct CongreHlonal Conference. The Free Press has briefly refer red to tho fact that Hon. W. 8. Kirkpatrick mado a speech accept ing a ronomination for Congress at tho hands of tho Republicans for tho Eighth Congressional District. The sxoch was a gem, and during its delivery Judgo Kirkpatrick was loudly applauded by tho con forces. Ho said the circumstances of tho nomination appealed strongly to his grntitudo, nnd he considered it a tribute, not only to him personnl ly, but also an expression of ap proval of his political course. Ho said ho thought the conferees would nil ngreo with him when ho stated Uhat ho had nevor beon a soekor after a political position. When ho first became tho standard-boaror of the party four years ago, he did so with a groat deal of reluctance, not that ho was insonsiblo of tho high honor conferred upon him, but bo- causo ho was wodded to his profes. sion and had given nn enrly vow to bo faithful to it. Ho wont into what wns regarded as a hopeless contest nnd lost. Two years later. in 1896, his nomination came much undor the snme circumstances, and those who wore noar to him know thnt ho had groat hesitation in nc- copting it. After n lively enmpaign this old Gibraltar of Democracy was cap tured, and tho flag of tho Repub lican party blazed over it. Now once more bo has boon honored by the Republicans of tho district. This third nomination camo to him much happier than on oithor of tho othor two occasions, for during tho past two years ho had had the opportun ity of serving his constituents in the national halls of Congress. Not since the days of 1861 to 1865 has the country, said tho Judgo, passed through such ovonKul times as dur ing tho sessions of tho fifty-fifth Congress. Ho said ho acoepted tho nomina tion ns the party's standard-bearer in the Congressional fight this year, with somo degree of roluctrnco, however, because ho was anxious to got back to his profession. How- ovor, ho felt it was a duty ho owed to tho pooplo to accept the nomina tion, especially at a time whon such a glorious f uturo is opening up bo foro us as a nation. Tho United States, ho declared, had proved to all the world in the war with Sp.iin, that wo aro a power whioh tho othor nations of tho Globo will bo compelled to recognize when any important political movo in history is oontomplated. Tho country is now face to faca with tho most difficult problems in hor history and if thoso are satis factory U. S. will enter upon an era of uuparalled prosperity, Judgo Kirkpatrick thought thero was no better chance than now to work together and make this Eighth district a pormanent. Republican stronghold. Ha said ho would take up tho flag onco more and pledged the people that ho would give them the best, service possiblo. If re-elected he promised ho would uphold in Congress, as he has done iu tho past tho principals of the great party of Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Blaine and McKinley, and would hold up tho hands of that wise and patriotio man who sits in tho Presidents chair at Washington and guides and steers the Ship of State safely upon the great unknown seas. Ho closed by extending to tho conferees and tho people thoy rep resented his grateful appreciation of the compliment thoy had paid, him nnd promised to dovote his 111113 and strength to the success of the ticket.
