The critical condition Of thk Pssaident
and the possibility that IL be should re-
cover he may for q long time be disa-
bled from performing mis- Official duties
have naturally drawn out some inquir-
les as TO what IN this latter case will be
the political result. The Constitution
provides that In such case Of ''inability"
the powers and duties Of the President
"sbal devolve on the Vice-President !"
The clause Of the Constitution which
follows that which we have just quoted
reads however as follows: Congress may
by law s'provide for the case Of the - .
inability "of the President" Congress,
however, has never legislated on this
particular contiDgency--possibly because
it was found Q difficult task TO make q
statutory Interpretation OF the phrase
as to inability Section 146 of the Fed
eral Revised Statutes, which 10 . rescript
of law OF 1902, enacted soon afler the
consolidation of the Federal Union pSo-
provides :fkIn3 ease s.of the inability
Of both the Presideutsnd Vice. ProsiAeut
the President of the Senate, or II there
Is none, then the Speaker for the time
being shall act as President until the
disability (the word Of the Constitution
is inability Is removed or President
elected" Although Congress has not
legislated as to the practical meaning OF
occurrence of an inability Of . President
It Is doubtless an open question - to
what is tho Inherent force Of the Con.
slitution which says In case Of the in.
ability (of the President) the powerl
aud duties Of the said Office shall de-
volve on the Vice. President Suppose,
for instance, President Garfield's injur-
les should result In remittIng him to

Presidential powers and duties had de

is not likely 10 become speedily prac

ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT.
A Young Man Fatally Crushed At
West Yards.

A Young Man Fatally Crushed At
West Yards.
John Stephen Avalier, a brake
man Of shifting gang No 9, r., w. &
B. r. R., was fatally injured, last
night, about IL o'clock, while work.
ing at the West Yard sidings. At
the time time of the accident he was
engaged in shifting cars, and the
shifting engine, by means Of a pole,
was pushing fiat car, Avalier
walking along and guiding the pole,
Suddenly the pole slipped, and be-
fore the young man could get out of
the way the shifter dashed forward
and caught him against the bumper
of the freight car, crushing him in a
fatal manner. He was at once picked
up and carried to the depot where he
was promptly attended to by DR.. j.
X. Kane. His injuries comprised a
badly lacerated elbow joint aud two
broken ribs which penetrated the
left lung and caused internal hemor-
rhages, which soon produced death.
His suffering were terrible but he
bore them with heroic fOrtitude to
the end.
The doctor frankly told him he had
but q slight chance Of life, and asked
him II he had any messages for his
friends, to which the poor fellow sads
ly responded, II have no friends
am alone in the world" Just at
midnight he died.
Avalier had only been in Whining
ton since the first of January last, and
came from Millington, Queen Anne'i
county Md. He worked with the
Harlan & Holllngsworth Company fol
two months, and then secured a sltua-
ton as shifting brakeman on the r.
w. q b. railroad. He bo .rded witt
Mrs. Carr, of No. 204 E. Fifth street,
who speaks Of him as man of exem
plary habits and good disposition.
Coroner Waldin held an inquest
this morninR, when the usual verdict
was rendered. The body will be held
for awhile to await the requests o
friends, and If not applied for will b,
buried by the county. 1t is supposed
however, that Avalier has relative
living near Seaford, in this State.
