Fatal Accident A correspondent at sabula
Summit Tunnel Low Grade Railroad) furn.
ishes the Dubois Courier with the following
"On Thursday afternoon, the lst instant a
sad and most painful accident took place at
Sabula, While Mr. Jacob Burns, one of our
Oldest citizens was walking through the
tunnel an extra freight, bound west. came
along and struck and ran over him, cutting
one leg completely of and breaking the other
one in several places, and iniiiCtng other
injuries II being dark in the tunnel the
train men did not see him. therefore they did
not stop and he was not found until over two
hours had passed, length of time which
must have seemed an age to him, when his
two sons came through the tunnel ON their
way home from work and discovered him
Nothing can depict their horror in thus find
ing their father lying there in the dark, ter
ribly mangled, and in a dying condition.
They Immediately called for assistance, and
Mr., Burns was carried TO his home near the
west end of the tunnel, and Drs. Means and
Pettigrew were summoned from Dubois by
telegraph The doctors came promptly and
done everything that medical and surgical
knowledge could suggest to save his life but
it was useless, as he was evidently too far
gone when found, Reaction did not take
place and he died at 10:30P p. NJ, having lived
about six hours after receiving his injuries.
At the inquest next day the verdict was rem
dered in accordance with the facts given
above The funeral took place on Saturday
forenoon after services held by Rev. Burch-
field, Of Dubois Mr.. Burns leaves wife
and six children, all of whom have our
sympathy for this great and unexpected loss. -

appeal, and isthere to be reviewed and
corrected in the same manner rs are APP
peals from lower courts 70 the Supreme
Court of Appeals.
To our. mind, the first position is the
correct one. The hw evidently contem-
plates the 'triaP' of the appeal In the
fullest sense Of that term, and even pro-
vides for a jury when either party may
require 1t.
But it is said that if the Circuit Courts
shall undertake to try all appeals from
justices, dcn0ro, they could do nothing
else, and the more important business
other courts would he entirely crow
ded out by these appeals rendering the
course Of litigation even more dilatOry
and expensive than it has heretofore
been.
That may all he true. 1t WAS the re-
suit predicted before the constitutional
amendments were adopted. But it Is
not question of what the law ought TO
be, but of tcl,dt IL is. If the law is not
what il ought to be, the Legislature is
the proper source Of relief, and II Is not
sufficiently explicit, it should be made
so. In either case a modification seems
to be demanded, 80 that the statute may
give no uncertain sound.

THE ATTOCRAT or CONGRESS AND
HIS WORK

The unmiStakable motives which have
influenced the arrangement of the COM
mittees in the House of Representatives
furnishes most striking example OF
the autOcratic power of the Speaker.
The committees have absolute con-
troll of measures of legislation anu the
Speaker has absolute control oil the
committees. He not only selects the
men out of which they are constituted,
but ne has choice as To whether
the measures which they recommend
shall come before the House for action.
The committees can smother measure
to which they are unfriendly, but the
Speaker can smother not only the meas
ure, but the members who advocate ii,
by refusing to recognize them on the
floor.
Asthe committees have been cOnstitu-
ted by the Speaker there is nothing
more apparent than that the purpose
has not BEEN to secure the men of the
largest experience and the best ability,
but first and foremost to accomplish two
ends: the one, to promote the interests
of the party which the Speaker repre-
sents, and the other, To secure partisan
action upon the leading measures with
which these committees will deal. 1t is
not famiSs to notice, also, that due re-
gard was had to the duty of showing
suitable recognition of the personal OBJ
legations of the Speaker to those instru-
mental in elevating him to his position.
A glance at the construction of a few
of the committees cannot but re-
veal the motives which governed
the appointments. For instance
the Ways and Means Committee
will have charge of the inn
pOrtant questions relating to tariffs, in
ternal taxes and loans. Judge KELLY
is chairman Of this committee together
with RANDALL and EVERETT, three
Pennsylvanians, making thccommittee
strongly protectionist.
The banking and currency commit
tee has ananti-Silver complexion; while
the appropriation committee Is gotten
up on liberal scale, and will probably
deal out the money with reckless
hand. Both HOLMAN and RANDALL,
Democrats, who have had q long eX-
Perience on this latter committee, are
eliminated from il, so tnat two of the
greatest distractions TO partisan jObbery
have been removed.
The personal obligations ofthe Speak
er were recognized in giving the Penn
SylNanld uCleSallOu' Culeily lu>tFuuleu-
tai in-KEIFER'S election, seven chair
manships- than were awarded to
his own, or any other State.
So also the sectional composition OF
the Republican party is shown in the
constitution of the committees, by the
fact that the Southern States receive
only one or two unimpOrtant chairman
ships. 1t is also significant that one OF
these ehairmanships, that of the Com
mittee on War Claims, is given To a
Southern Brigadier, HOUCR, which is
susceptible of the very plain interpreted
ton that the allowance Of rebel war
claims is part of the machinery relied
upon to build up MOhOnery at the
South.

1t will be q good step if the Legisla-

We understand that Judges of the
Circuit Courts differ in their interpreta-
ton of the mode in which appeals from
Justices should be heard, some holding
that the intent of the law is that all APP
peals should be tried de moro, including
the denomination of witnesses and an
entire rehearing Of every branch of
the case as II it had originated in
the Circuit Court; while other Judges
maintain that under the new statute

iOy" which the morrow will usher iii to
the Christian world.
Although both to-day and Monday
will be devoted to the celebration OF our
Christmas festival in different locali-
ties the Sabbath will he all the more im-
prcSsive from the absence of business as
well rs of frolic, together with the
solemn service of song and praise which
will proceed from all the churches.
Not les favorable will the day prove
for mdulging the chief characteristic OF
our modern Christmas, which is that OF
the domestic and family festival. The
thoughts of men will turn more
especially tomorrow, towards home
ami kindred, and members Of
families who have been, during
the rest of the year, scat
tered will assemble together 1t the ia
be of the old homestead. Children,
fresh from school and happy in the as
SnciationS of the season, will form II
part, 10y no means the least interesting,
of the happy. circle, which il perhaps

and valued friends IF other days.

If you find yourself disposed to give
way to that Observation-Disclosures
MISUNDERSTANDING disease Of
worry, try to recuperate your nervous
system. Go to bed and sleep your inn

sleep, it is a sign that your blood is
sluggish; your nervous system is used
up; your muscular system has had hit
tie or no employment. Then do some
thing to tire the muscles and start the
blood. Do not fall into the Gelusive
snare of gentle exercise" that is ad-
visable only for invalids. Whatsoever
you dc, do it with all your might
Take tramp on the hills; saw wood;
ride horseback; give fifteen minutes to
an Indian club or a pair of not too
heavy dumb-hells; run; jump; any
thing to exert your body and stop the
exertion of your mind, to set your
muscles into exercise and give your
nerves a rest. Get into a glow and

cheerful and hopeful, prepared to
laugh at your former melancholy.
