HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

Last Sunday evening seven colored
people were returning home from Ephs-
sus church, in Person county, n. C.'
when a violent thunderstorm burst
upon them. The mules hitched to the
wagon dashed away, throwing the oc-
cupants out. Three were killed in
stently, the neckS of two being broken,
and the others head crushed. Three
more were seriously hurt, and two, il
not all, will probably die. Only one
out of the seven escaped uninjured.

The Electoral Count.

The constitution of the United States, by
an amendment adopted in 1904. makes all
the provision that now exists for counting
the electoral vote. 1t says "The presi-
dent Of the Senate shall, in the presence of
the Senate and House of Representatives,
open all the certificates and the votes shall
then be counted.n This provision may be
ample when there is no question as to the
result-no duality of state governments and
no allegation Of fraud as to the returns Of
any state. But it is vague to the last de-
gree, and should be supplemented by such
legislation as will provide for any and all
the contingencies which may arise.
The Senate is now wisely and patriot
ically addressing itself to the work Of per-
fecting law regulating the electoral count
The pending bill provides that, when but
one return has been received it shall not
be rejected except by the affirmative votes
of both houses. But when two or more
sets Of returns have been received, the bill
proposes that "those votes, and those only,
shall be counted which the two houses,
acting separately shall concurrently de-
eide to be the lawful votes Of the legally
appointed electors of such state"
Mr.. Sherman has offered and in very
able argument supported, an amendment,
the adoption of which would insure a count
Of the votes beyond any question, and would
meet contingencies not provided for in the
pending bill But the NATIONAL REPUBLI-
CAN is compelled to dissent from the Ohio
senator's conclusions in this matter believ-
ing that his plan is not In harmony with
the spirit Of the constitution. Mr.. Sherman
proposes that when It shall appear from the
action of the two houses that they disagree
upon the question Of accepting or rejecting
a return from a state, "then the members OF
the two houses, in joint convention, shall
Immediately, without debate, upon the roll
call Of the respective houses, vote upon the
question or questions upon which there has
been such disagreement, and the decision
Of the majority Of the members OF the joint
convention present shall be deemed final
and conclusive, and the vote shall be

Low Life and Honest Life.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. A." Chester
has seen hard times since John Roach sus-
pended,n said one Of the great shipbuilder's
old workmen yesterday, "and, although
there's plenty Of work In all other branches
Of business, the depression caused by the
comparative idleness at the shipyard is very
seriously felt by all classes. There are only
about 300 men employed at the yards now,
and the Reaches had from 1900 to $500
men on their pay-rolls. They paid their
lands promptly, and the men earned good
wages. Every Saturday night there was
from $15, 900 to 100000 scattered among the
shopkeepers and houseowners in Chester.
Two-thirds Of the 800 men working in the
yard now are laborers. They earn 10 cents
an hour and work eight hours day. Most
Of them are men with families, and how they
manage to live is mystery, for some Of
them don't put in more than three or four
days week. One Of them that know had
cents left this week, after paying his rent,
with which to buy fuel and food for his

One Of the largest subscribers to the cam
paign fund was William L. Scott, Of Erie.
1t is said that he gave $4,000 to Chairman
German. Secretary Whitney put into the
campaign fund an amount equal to that
subscribed by Scott, but it was made up
by pool. The chief donors were Col. o.

est and importance will be founded aud

Washington Is the most cosmopolitan Of
American cities. Race prejudice and the
animositcs OF sects find little tolerance
among our people. All races, all national
tiles, and all sects in this capital are ready
to cooperate in doing good, This has been
abundantly and happily demonstrated by
the general partioipancy Of leading citizens
IN all the long preliminary work Of this
fair.
lfltwere necessary to do so the NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN would appeal to the people of
Washington, irrespective Of race or nation
ality, to give this enterprise their cheerful
support, But such an appeal would be TN
just, in that 1t would prcsupposc the non

HOSPITAL NOTES.

Woman Has an Epileptic Fit on
 State Street.-The Victim of the Buzz
 Saw Accident Very Low.
 Mrs. Erherst, of Silver street, while at work in Sanford block on State street yester- day was seized with an epileptic fit. The ambulance was summoned and she was taken to the hospital.
 Joseph Conoque, the victim of the buzz saw accident, was very low at the hospital last night and it was feared that he would not live through the night, Coneque was shoveling sawdust from under the sawmill when he hit his head against the saw. The engineer thought from the sound that he had struck his shovel against it and did not know of the accident until he saw Conoque walk ing from under the mill bleeding. The mill was then stopped and the saw was found to be besmeared with hair and blood and brains Little bits of skull were scattered about the ground. Conoque was taken to his hut in the woods. There was no doctor in town to attend him. Twenty-four hours later he was brought to New Haven by order of the Selectmen. At the time he left Dur ham his strength was good and mind clear. The Selectmen and Charles Tucker, who was acquainted with the man, gave him every at tention and care possible under the circum- stances,
