hit it, are wrangling all the time and do
nothing but play for record, taking no

Rival Pine Lines.

The report of the purchase of the Tide
Water pipe line by the Standard oil com.
pany turns out to be false, as we supposed
it would be. 1t is authoritatively de-
MED by the officers of the Tide Water
company. The Philadelphia Press,
which originated the statement, still in
sists that it has some substantial founda.
ton, and that If the two companies are
not consolidated in fact they at least
have made an agreement as to the rates
they shall charge and amount Of
oil that each shall carry. That even
this much of an agreement has been
reached is denied but if it is true
it is very different thing from giving
the Standard the control of the Tide
Water line, and a monopoly of the oil
carriage. 1t may be assumed with abso-
Lutte certainty that this will never be
done 80 long as the control Of the major
ity of the Tide Water stock is in Mr..
Gowen's hands, as it is said now to be.
He is entirely too shrewd to give up the
control to another party OF the carriage of
so important product as petroleum. In
fact, il it was a much less important ar
ticle of traffic it would be quite contrary
to Mr.. Governs nature to give anyone
the opportunity to dictate to him the
terms on which his railroad should han
die it. In this case good commercial
policy bids Mr.. Gowen to keep the
Standard company under his thumb,
Just where he naturally inclines to keep
things. And those who deal in oil may
be satisfied that the oil carriage is
much more likely to go to Gowen than
ROckafellow. Mr.. Gowen does not dis
incline to q monopoly when he runs it,
and if Ro;kafellow inclines to take a
lieutenancy under him, monopoly in
the oil business may be possible but as
the methods of the two men are radi.
cally different they could not run to
gether any more than oil and water a
naturally honest man in control of a
monopoly would manage it in decent
way that would be incomprehensible to
a natural thief.

Master Workman Campbell, of the brotE.

land and ST. Louis have resolved to con-
tinue the strike, Notwithstanding the
surrender of the Eastern operators. In
Philadelphia the strikers will return to
work and will be gladly accepted by the

late the returning operators or make them
feel badly. Those who may be taken back
will receive the same pay and rating they
had before tho strike. In New York the
female operators came in a body (thirty

ger train leaving Philadelphia at 2:2O p.
m, and is due at Angora station at 2:34.
As it turned the curve about about 800
yards east of Angora, yesterday, the engi.
neer, Isaac Wilkinson, noticed the red
signal indicating danger or obstruction of
the way. He Immediately reversed his
lever, put on the air brakes and opened
the sand lever. Owing to some defects in
the air brakes he was unable to stop his
train, which slid along the declining road
way, although slowly. Before, however,
it could be fully stopped it had reached the
switch, which forms the conjunction be
tween the double tracks from Broad street
to that point, and the single track thence
to West Chester. Here the passenger train
met the extra passenger train, No. 221,
from Oxford, Tho engineer Of the latter
train, Geo. Smith, was endeavoring to pass
from the single track, over Wharton
safety switch, to the east bound double
track. It is said the market train was
running at the rate of about 10 miles per
hour at the time of passing over
the switch. The bumpers of both engines
struck, the cab of the market engine was
torn of, and the tender and first freight
car were overturned. The engines of
both trains remained on the track. The
market engine tore away the steam. chest
and cylinder of the passenger, and the es-
Gaping steam poured directly into he first
freight car, which was loaded with
sheep and calves, scalding them to death.
Both engineers stood boldly at their posts
grasping the levers. Fireman Welsh, of
the market train, jumped of, but was
caught by the over turning tender and
crushed to death. Conductor Cox, of the
market train, also jumped, and though es.
Gaping death, was seriously injured about
the legs. None of the passengers were
iDjurned.
Whlrled Around by Her Tressss.
Miss Duly Stormer, a young woman
employed at the Huntsville WOODEN mill,
near Wilkesbarre, was standing near the
main shaft when the machinery was start
ed up, and her apron was caught. She
succeeded in pulling it loose, but in the
effort her hair, which is very long, and
wound in single plait down her back, was
caught by tho rapid revolving shaft. In
an instant she was whirled around the
shaft with terrible violence, and before
the machinery could be stopped and the
unfortunate girl extricated she had re'
ceived fatal injuries. Her hair was partly
torn from her head, and her body and
head terribly bruised. She also received
injuries to her spine and has since been
lying in paralyzsd condition. She is
about twenty years of age, of great per-
sonal beauty and Of a highly respected
family. She had been employed in the
factory several years.

terable purpose to allow no apporti0ument

is to close the wraugle at once and point

They can show that tho ultimatum of the
Republican Senate is the stone wall which
they can neither overthrow nor climb over,
and that is has been erected solely for the
selfish ends of partisans. We cannot see
that there is anything in their record

reason to feel ashamed OF, or which they
cannot successfully defend in the sight of
imperial men. Therefore, it is that, in

while dissenting from the policy which is

THE House Of Representatives is
brought face to face with the fact that
though a horse may be taken to water
he cannot be made to drink. The Sen
ate can be held by the House in session
indefinitely. but it cannot be made to
pass apportionment bills. It can demon
strate its stubboInness and make it clear
that it does not respect the mandates of
the constitution. When it has done this
it had better be turned loose. There is
no way to punish it except by withhold
ing its pay, until its members get home
to be tried by their constituents. After
the election they may be more amenable
to reason. Why not take recess till
January, to hear what the people have
to say about apportionment at the elec
tion ? The governor will badly feel in
elined to approve an appropriation of
salary to men who have refused to do
their constitutional duty, until at least
the people have had an opportunity to
say that they were right in refusing to
do so. Then let us have recess. Or
let there be an adjournment with the
understanding that the governor will
call an extra session in January.
In case the two Houses do not agree as
to a recess or adjournment, it is in the
power of the governor to adjourn them
for period not exceeding four months.
This would carry the session over until
December and would meet the idea of
waiting on the peoples verdict IN No.
