No Successor to Judge Cummins.

WILLIAMsPoRT, Pa, Sept. 20.-Gov-
ernor Beaver has written lengthy let
ter to Mayor Foresman in which he de-
clines to appoint representative from
the West Branch valley on the state
flood commission to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Judge Cummins,
which was petitioned by a large num-
her of our influential citizens recently.
The governor stated that it would now
be inexpedient to appoint new man in
nsnuch as the labors of the committee
are very nearly finished. This part ef
the state will therefore receive no more
financial help from the balance of
money now at tie disposition of the
commission.

were quickly rescued.
It win be hours before any compre-
hensive idea Of the number Of the dead
can be arrived at, as some Of the houses
are under twenty-five feet Of debris
scene Of the Dlsnseer.
At the foot Of the cliff Is narrow
street which occupies all of the space
between the cape and the river. Along
the river side of this street were situated
the houses which were crushed by the
terrible avalanche of rock.
The street Is entirely filed with the
wreckage and large force of men are
at work clearing it away.
Several families are known to have
been entombed and it is feared that all
are dead.
Late estimates place the number
killed outright between twenty-five and
thirty.
Previous Landslides.
In May, 1841, similar landslide oc-
CURED, which destroyed several build
ings and killed thirty-two people. From
present indications it Ii feared the loss
of life by this landslide viii be equally
as great.
In 1852 another landslide caused the
death of several persons half a mile
from the scene of the present disaster.
Recovering Bodies.
Six bodies have been taken from the
ruins Thomas Farrell and two of his
children. also two children named
Burke and one unknown child. Far
rell's mother-in-law, Mrs. Allen, and
her husband are still in the ruins.
About twenty-five persons have been
removed from the debris very badly in
jured. Some have broken arms and
legs and others are badly crushed and
mutilated.
Fifty Persons still Buried.
1t is now estimated that at least fifty
persons are yet under the ruins. The
fire brigade and police force are on the
ground rendering valuable assistance.
All the injured were removed to the
AldL INC anu uSllGIleS OGpaTGmenISa
where medical men and .clergymen
looked after them. The debris covers
the road in solid mass for over 800
feet in length and from fifteen to
twenty-five in height.
Cries Of "Helpl Helpl''
1t is impossible to say at present how
many are dead and wounded. Every
one is working heroically and under dif.
ficulties, as the night was intensely
dark and the electric lights were rem
dered useless by the landslide.
Cries of "Helpl Help" are heard
from beneath the debris, but none can
be given.
The Whole 1sow.der May Fail.
Very little progress is being made in
recovering bodies, owing to the stupend.
Gus mass Of rock covering the ruins.
The body of a woman named Mrs. Ber-
rigan has just been pulled out of the
debris.
Tons of rocks are falling and it is
feared the whole bowlder forming the
highest point OF Quebec will give way.

Fees uaoe con..,tu,,ouaI.

One of the laws made by the recent New
Jersey Legislature will create considerable
interest in South Jersey. It provides reg
nlations for the fees and charges of Con-
stables and Justices Of the Peace after July
4th next. A law made in 1871 gave to JUS
tees 40 cents for issuing every warrant; 40
cents for drawing a commitment;
40 cents for drawing each recognizanee; 10
cents for issuing each subpoena, and 40
cents for Issuing d warrant for the discharge
of a prisoner from Jail. LII 1857 this law
was declared unconstitutional by the SUI
preme Court because of 4 defect in the
title. At the same time the Court declar-
ed that it was not extortion for Justices to
demand their fees from complainants, but
that if the complainant refused to pay, and
the cause of complaint was sound, the JUS
tice could be indicted for refusing to take
the complaint and issue a warrant. The
effect of the decision as to the constitution
atty of this law revived the old law Of
1916, which allows Justices bat % cents
for issuing a warrant aud % cents for draw
ing a commitment, and this, under another
law, can only be paid in case an Indictment
is found. The new law, just passed, re-
stores the old act of 1871 in constitutional
shape, but provides that the officers bill
must be approved by the Judge of the Cir
cult Court and the County Prosecutor.

Vne New Marriage law.

The new marriage law went into effect
on Wednesday. 1t provides that no one
authorized to perform the marriage cere-
mony shall join in matrimony any male
under the age of twenty-ono or any female
under the age o~feighteen unless the parents
or guardians shall be present and give
their consent. a certificate, in writing,
will be sufficient, in case Of the inability
of the parents to be present. Ii a minister
suspects persons desiring to be married are
not of age, he shall take their statements
under oath. If after the ceremony it is as
certained that the parties were not of legal
age, the oath shall be the minister's JUST i
f~ication.
A register Of all unions married under
certificates from parents or guardians,
shall be kept by the person performing the
ceremony, and he shall attach the original
certificate of consent TO the certificate of
marriage, and shall transmit the same TO
the officer to whom by law he is required
to transmit, TO the end that the same may
be forwarded to and filed with the State
Bureau of Vital Statistics.

state Death Reeora.

Vital statistics are not usually interest
ing to study, particularly when they are
compiled in mysterious tables that battle
the understanding of a careless reader. The
State Board of Health, however, has this
year presented a,me information about life
and death in the various cities, towns, and
counties of New Jersey in such simple
form that it can be comprehended at a
glance. One of the most readable pages is
that showing the mortality in the various
cities, Philipsburg. up in the mountains
of Warren County, enjoyed the lowest
death rate last year of any town or city in
the State. To each 900 persons the NOR
tally was only 1928. After Philipsburg
comes BoIdentown with a rate of 16. SO,
then Bridgeton with 1850, next Salem with
1885, and then Morristown with 1o. 05.
In Salem county the mortality, exclu-
siye of Salem City, for 1888, was 1850,
while the average mortality for the
ten years from 1878 to 1888 was only
1880, showing an increase in our death
rate. The result of the returns last year
are not very tlattering to most of the cities
and counties of the State. There is always
an increased percentage oil deaths to a larger
population, but the jump of last year over
the previous decade is too great.
