Last Saturday afternoon a distres.
sing accident occurred at the Cutter
Nc, LiV Ov"Panys S"-..y.- r.in,,
Cooligan, young man who has been
for some years in the employ of the
company, latterly as sawyer, had
been putting up stove pipe in the
mill. He was standing on a plank
which had been put up between two
bearings to fasten up the wires which
supported the stove pipe. In front OF
him was three.inch shaft, making
about one hundred and forty revolu.
tons minute. In some way belt
which was fastened around his over
coat was caught by the shaft, which at
once wound him up and whirled him
around until everything was stripped
from him except his boots. While
whirling his feet at every revolution
struck large beam which passed
across the mill about three feet from
the shaft. The left sleeve of his blouse
happened to be unbuttoned, so that that
was stripped without injury to him, but
the right arm was twisted about the
shaft with great force before the sleeve
gave way. A Mr.. Hendricks was with
Mr.. Cooligan at the time, and he at
once started to shut down the mill; he
had to go about thirty feet and turn o
hand wheel nine times around TO stop
the power, and as he got back he
was Just in time to catch Mr.. Cooligan as
he fell from the shaft as naked as he was
born except his feet. The distance was
about twelve feet. Mr.. Bronson, the
superintendent, placed his overcoat on
a large sand sieve and the unfortunate
man was laid upon it and taken to his
house. A man was at once sent to the
village for surgical aid. DR.. Russell
was soon at the scene followed speedily
by DR.. Sutton and later by DR.. Porter,
the two latter being absent at the time
the messenger arrived for them. The
examination showed that the lett leg
had suffered compound comminuted
fracture, above the ankle, being horri.
bly, beaten up aud the broken bones pro-
truding through the flesh. The right leg
had suffered simple fracture about the
middle third above the foot. The
right forearm had both bones
fractured twice, one fracture be-
ing about an inch and the other about
five inches above the wrist, and the
wrist was badly dislocated, being twist
ed half around. His body was also
badly bruised by the force which it
took to strip his clothes of, and he
shows some indications of internal in-
jury. lie is, however, apparently do
ing as well as could be expected. lie
had recovered consciousness when the
doctors arrived and bore the painful op.
eiations OF setting the broken limbs
without taking any anasthetic, and
showed wonderful control of his
nerves. Mr.. Cooligan is hard work
ing, steady, young man of good habits,
who is liked by his fellow worknelI
aud all who know him, and great sym-
pathy is felt for him in his misfortune.
"A considerable sum of money was
raised for hi II by the workmen at the

FAILED TO DO HIS DUTY.

Congressman Geo. III. Robson is re-
ceiving severe criticism at the hands of
the Post, Press, and other Camden pa
pers. His failure to pass through the
House the bill for the erection of Gov
ernment building in Camden has made
many who were previously his friends,
lukewarm.
The history of the bill is about as fol-
lows: Two or three months ago Sena-
tor Sewell introduced into the Senate a
bill appropriating $4,000 for the erection
OF public building in Camden. For
several years such a building has been
needed to accommodate the rapidly
growing business of the Post Office, In
ternal Revenue, and Customs Depart
ments. Appropriations We're made by
Congress for the erection of such edi-
fees in other cities of the Union not half
as populous as Camden, and Senator
Sewell voiced the people when he pre-
sented the measure. 1t passed the Sen
ate nearly two months previous to the
adjournment of Congress. In the mean
llI1e MI hODtSOll pau i1O otte0ioioh ~
it, and when Speaker hiefer's gavel
came down at the close of the session
the bill was dead. This failure to do
plain public duty has brought forth a
just criticism. Mr.. Robson had plenty
of time to look after Naval and River
and Harbor jobs, but could do nothing
for bill, which if passed would have
furnished employment for large num-
ber of laboring men, and secured great
public improvement for Camden. The
Post concludes a very emphatic editor
ial in Fridays issue by SAYING
If Congressman Robeson's vote on the
river and harbor steal has not already
disgusted the average voter, his petty
failure to do his duty by Camden, even
though Gen. Sewell did first introduce
the bill in the Senate, has about lost for
him all the grip he ever had for third
term, in this city.

The United States Circuit Court for
Indiana, Justice Harland delivering
opinion, held. in the recent case of the
Evansville National Bank vs. Britton
GA Albany Law Journal, 3SD, that the
law CT I,ldis,nsp which provides for the
taxation of National Bank shares in the
hands of their respective owners, ac-
cording to their fair cash or selling value,
but excludes from the valuation of such
shares any estimate whatever of the
shareholders debts, while allowing the
deduction of debts in the assessment
and taxation of other noneyed capital,
is inconsistent with section 5,219 of the
Revised Statutes of the United States,
and, therefore, null and void as to the
taxation of these shares. This section
permits these shares to be taxed under
State authority, with the limitation that
the tax shall not be at greater rate
than is assessed upon other moneyed
capital in the hands of individual citi-
zens of such State.' This is the view
held by the New Jersey Supreme Court,
in the case carried there by bank share
holders in Mt Holly.

THE LATE CONGRESS.

Congress has adjourned, and left be-
hind very unsavory record The pas
sage of the River and Harbor bill. ac-
complished just a few hours previous to
the final adjournment, was fitting eli
max to what has proved very unprofit-
able session to the people. The failure
to pass the Internal Revenue Tax Re-
duction bill, was one of the most con-
temptible acts of the session. Those
members who took part in that business
should be held directly responsible. 1t
was bill which met with universal ap-
proval outside of the great match and
whiskey manufacturers. AS it is, how
ever, we are compelled to pay our match
and check stamp taxes for another year
at least. For the enactment of the River
and Harbor steal, and the failure to pass
the Reduction of Taxes bill neither po-
litical party can be held altogether re-
sponsible. Democrats and Republicans
joined hands on both measures, and for
purely personal reasons
Congress did well in passing the bill
for the creation of Tariff Commission,
and in the settling of several contested
Southern election cases. A long step
was taken in the right direction when
the Geneva Award of Alabama claims
and the Japanese Indemnity bills be-
came laws.
In view of the record made by the out
going Congress, it remains for the peo-
pie to pass judgment on those members
who have proven recreant to their trust
The next Congress should be composed
of better material.

One day last week, Kentucky, (the
Corn-Cracker State, held an election for
State officers The result was areduced
Bourbon majority of about 10000. Ala
bama at the same time, chose State Off
GERS and Legislature by some 10000
majority. Naturally enough, the Dem
ocratic organs of the North are hurrah-
ing over the result. But what of it?
Alabama and Kentucky have given
Democratic majorities for the last ten
years, but the great unwashed" are no
nearer the White House than they were
when Abraham Lincoln was elected the
first time In 1884, they will be just
where they are now no matter what the
above named States may do. "The

The English are tho tss.t ss.-to..a.ffS ySur
American canned Salmon. Most of the
Sacramento river salmon go to the At
lantic cities, but Liverpool draws the
bulk of it's supply from Oregon, either
direct from the Columbia river or through
San Francisco. The Fraser river sal
mon all go to England direct from Vic
toria. Last season the Fraser river sent
146, 900 cases to Europe. 1t is expected
that as many more will be canned there
this season for the same market. The
Columbia river sent $50, 700 cases direct
to Europe for the year ending March 81.
Thus far this season three cargoes have
been cleared direct from the Columbia
river for England, with 9s, 4s0 cases.

Says the San Benito (CaI) Adrance:
"About month ago A. B. Camp, ac-
companied by his wife and child, came
from San Francisco for the purpose of
taking out soapstone. Last month his
wife visited him at his work They were
about starting for their cabin, a short
distance away. Mr.. Camp was about to
enter the tunnel to secure shovel which
he desired to take with him, when his
wife remarked, Never mind. I'll get it:
you take the child AS she started for
the entrance of the tunnel, she turned
around and said, Kiss me first The
husband did so, and she started for the
tunnels mouth again, but just before
she reached it she again turned round
and laughingly said, Kiss me once more.
Her husband complied for the second
time, and then she started for the tunnel
She had just reached the entrance when
the mass of rocks and dirt above gave
way, burying the unfortunate woman in
the debris and causing her instant death
The father and child escaped unhurt,
