There seems TO be u great passion for
Sunday work on the New Hope railroad.
1t would look as though the contractors
and the company strained point TO work
on that day. Last Sunday, work was GO
ing on all day in driving rain, rails were
being laid, balasting hauled, etc. There
was no necessity for such work and it WAS
in violation of the laws of the State, aud
an insult to the moral sense Of the religi-
GUS people of the vicinity. The law pro-
viding for day of rest is In the interest
of the working people, and the railroads
appear to be doing all they eau, not only
to break down any religious regard for
the day, but 10 bring 10 the era of seven
days work for six days pa Unfortu-
nately, corporations do not usually reason
above their own selfish interests, and a
great many people find sort Of pleasure
in giving kick at any one of the ten
commandments that interferes with their
convenience or pleasure.

IN A SEA OF FIRE.

One Brother Sees Another Slowly
Burned to Death.
A shocking and fatal accident occurred in
the Wildwood oil field late last night. Two
brothers, William and Frank Miles of
Cory, Pa, were in attendance on the well
known as Rabshouse, No. 6, owned by the
Midland Oil Company of Titusville. The
former had aseended the derrick about mid
when the well suddenly took fire.
Taking desperate chances, he jumped to
escape the flames, which were already fill
ing the space beneath and rapidly ascending
the derrick. He struck the ground out
some distance from the base of the derrick
The fall broke his right leg above the knee
and the bone protruded through the flesh,
penetrating and plnning him to the
ground. His brother Frank had fled to one
side just in time to escape the outburst Of
flames. Seeing Williams plight, he rushed
TO his rescue, accompanied by another work.
man. Before they could withdraw the
wounded mans leg bone from the ground
and get him loose, the oil had flowed about
and saturated the ground. and they were
driven from the place, which had sudden ly
been converted into a veritahle sea of fire.
Frank fingered longer than the other in his
last desperate effort to rescue his brother,
and retreated only after being seriously
burned. From little distance, with emotion
pitiable to witness, he saw his brother s
body writhing in the flames. Later 1t was
recovered, charred unrecognizable. The
cause of the well taking fire was reported
TO have been due to the absence of the usual
check III the pipe which conveyed the
supply of gas from the gas-tank TO the boil
ers, where it Is used as fuel. The fire ran
back up the pipe to the gas-tank aud thsn
ignited the derrick and eagine-house, and
everything was burned to the ground.-
