First Iron Tipple in the Coke Region.

A company of "A machinists from the Key
stone Bridge Company, of Pittsbure, passed
through town Tuesday morning from Lei
senring No. 2 to Pittsburg. The Keystone
Bridge Company has been constructing an
iron tipple at Leisenring No. Coke Works.
This is the first iron tipple to be constructed
in the coke region. About five months ago
the H. C. Frick Coke Company gave the con-
tract to this company. Three months ago
the old tipple was torn down and the work
of erecting the new one begun. The new
tipple was completed yesterday all except
the roof. 1t stands 81 feet high and is unique
structure. Another is to be built soon at
Leith.

The New York Press says that unless
$40, 900 is promptly raised work on the WASH
ington memorial arch must be stopped,
which, the Press remarks, would be a dis
grace to New York." This condition is a
common fate for New York's memorial enter
prises: but it hardly seems that the disgrace
will be any moro emphatic than the one in
connection with the Grant memorial. In
view of that s5oO,OOO disgrace, what is the
use getting worked up over little $10,0 900
discredit?

He Had Pluck.
Chambersburg Valley Spirit.]
To walk three miles with both nanos
blown off, with his face burned and MS iees
injured, requires a man Of extraordinary
nerve, yet such a man came to Chambers
burg this morning for surgical treatment
John Bash. of Shippensburg, is his name,
and his injury has excited the sympathy Oh
everybody, while his pluck has arouseo
everyone s admiration. John Rash has oeen
a railroader for years. Recently he joined
the civil engineers corps employed In ou1io-
ing the Chambersburg and Gettysburg Rail
road. Tuesday morning he was working on
the extension from Caledonia station TO tne
Wolf Hill tunnel, and was about to throw
dynamite cartridge into crevice on an 10
degree bank when the powerful substance
exploded with terrific force He was hiir,eo
40 feet away from where he stood. Both ms
hands were blown of, his face was burned
and his eyes were injured. although 1t is not
vet known whetherhe will lose their slSnt;
and he was injured about the legs. The pain
he suffered must have been intense, yet ne
have accomplished. He started to walk the
entire distance to Caledonia station and he
made the three miles without groan.
Blood was dripping from the strips OF nesn
hanging from his wrists and was pushlng lts
way down his throat. His sufferings cannot
be described, yet he said no word except
that he wished to reach q physicians ofnce
in Chambersburg quickly.
He was taken in n box car from CALEDONIA
to Fayetteville, and then was driven TO
Chambersburg, where his wounds were
dressed, and he was then taken to his nome
in Shippensburg, where both his hands were
amputated above the wrist.

ABOUT two-thlrds OF the liberated Ten
nessee convicts have been recaptured and
the Governor of the State is quoted as say
ing that ''they shall be returned to the
mines if it takes every able-bodied man in
the State to do it," That is more emphatic
than discreet. Some means should be found
of asserting the supremacy of the law; but
convicts in the mines we're a blot on civili-
zation in the first place and will continue to
be ss long as they are kept there.

LIFE on the Chicago street railways has
its touches of excitement of which travel
on our traction lines is destitute. The other
day passengers on n West Chicago car re-
fused to pay fares because the car was not
heated. The conductor, in q spirit of mean
revenge, left the door open and tried to
freeze the passengers out; but this was met
by reversal of the usual procedure, and
the passengers promptly put the conductor
off the car. Then cries we're raised for
smashing the car and fndulging in other
riotous proceedings; but the excitement
quieted down, and the passengers felt so
good over their self assertion that they paid
up their fares like little men. Thus does
the long-suffering American street car pa
tron occasionally break out and demon
strate that the worm will turn.

SIXTEEN thousand lives lost in the
Japanese earthquakes! This, if we could
realize it, would make even the Johnstown
calamity seem commonplace. But the
swallowing up of human lives on the other
side of the globe cannot become as real to
US as the lesser calamity at our very doors.

A NEW YORK paper asserts that Amefl-
cans are too big to care what Rudyard Kip
ling or any other English writer says of
them. That is, we ought to be, especially
since Kipling was hardly more epigram-
matical and sarcastic at our expense than
was to be expected of writer of his moods.
But the fact that some Of us do writhe and
raise fuss over the smartness Of our trans.
atlantic cousins proves that there is still an
element among us that has not attained
realizing sense of our bigness.

THE latest and most practical suggestion
with regard to Arctic exploration is that the

services are needed. This would be a verv

the puzzling question. who will rescue the

Of that political complexion is regarded by
the Buffalo Express US "a menace to good

important enough to be a menace to any
thing it would be a menace to Democratic
success, both as an advertisement of the
hunger of the Democratic machine and as
warning that Democrats who are not ex:
cs-hunters will be in danger of as cold
weather in the event of Democratic success
as in that of Democratic failure.

THE trouble with the water supply in
New York, Brooklyn and Pittsburg moves
the Baltimore American to refer exultingly
to Baltimore's water supply, which, it
asserts, "can never grow less" 1t might
also add that owing to the nature of Balti-
more there does not seem to be much
danger of that city's doing what is the main-
trouble with Pittsburg, namely, growing
beyond its water supply.

Want the Crawford County System.
Meadville Republican,

The Republicans Of the Twenty-ffth Con-
gressional district, composed Of the counties
of Beaver, Butler, Lawrence and Mercer
counties, are thinking seriously of adopting
the Crawford county system Of nominating
candidates for Congress-thus abolishing
the conferee system with its annoyances
and delays. If the Crawford county plan
had been in vogue in the counties named,
last year, a Democrat would not to-day be
representing that district on the floor of
Congress.

Foolish Farmers in Two Counties.
Irwin Standard


We remember couple of years ago when
a number of our farmers were taken in by
some fruit tree swindiers, that some OF the
Allegheny county papers made considera-
Bile fun about it and advised the Westmore-
land county farmers to hire somebody to
pen them up, etc. Well, just now there are
a lot of farmers in Allegheny county that
had better have guardians appoin ted over
them and have themselves painted a bright
green so that their outward appearance
may correspond with their mental capacity.
They have been caught by some sharpers on
a fake SO thin that a Chestnut Ridge sheep
would not have bitten at. Some slick
tongued fruit tree agents persuaded num-
Der of them residing in the southwestern
part of the county to purchase a lot of fruit
trees on long time. The farmers gave their
notes payable in one year. but the willy
agents told them they would not have to
pay the notes for three years, and if they so
desired the time could be extended longer,
and. though they only had the agents word
tor this, the silly coots gave their notes pay
able in one year with legal interest. The
year is now up and they find their notes
have all been discounted at different banks
They are Offering big wages for strong men
to kick them.
