SCARED az the STEAM ROLLER.
A Bad Runaway Accident ON West Main
Street.

A Bad Runaway Accident ON West Main
Edwin s. Robbins, travelling sales
man for the E. N. WEIGH Clock COM
pany of Forestville, accompanied by his
wife, started to drive to Bristol this
morning from his home, A Cottage
place in his city. They were driv-
ing down Leavenworth street and
about to turn into West Main street as
the steam road roller came putting up
in front of the Bronson library, going
west. The horse jumped to the left and
turned so quickly that the carriage was
turned upside down, the horse dragging
it about twenty feet before falling him
self, when Mr. and Mrs Robbins
crawled out of the wreck. Mrs Robbins
was badly shaken up and was cut about
the mouth and nose. Her husband
called a passing hack and she was
driven back again to her home on
Cottage place. Mr. Robbins did not
complain of being injured, although he
was covered with mud, and much
excited. The rig belonged to Charles
II. Barnes. The carriage is a total
wreck, but the horse was not hurt. MI
Robbins claims that no sign was in
view from Leavenworth street showing
that the street was closed or dangerous
and attributes the accident to careless
ness on the part of employees of the city
and proposes to enter suit for whatever
damages have been sustained.

"The action of Governor Albeit in
vetoing the coal BILL" said Mr. Allan L.

of the Democratic platform upon which
he was elected. His action is a reply to
his slanderers.
II have remained silent under a storm
of SANDER because l knew that the mo-
ment spoke it would be said that re-
1ected the sentiments of Governor
Albeit. 1t will be in order
now for the Union League Club
to swallow the circular it issued a few
weeks ago, charging the Governor with
price Of coal. l knew what was talking
about when / prognostieated that the
Governor would act as he considered for
the best interests OF those who gave him
the power to approve or veto"
General Heppenheimer IS pleased with
the Governors action in vetoing the coal
bill. He says:--"The Governors reasons
for not permitting the act to become q

Assemblyman O'Neill said:-"I did not
vote for the bill. 1t passed the House in
hurry, but Governor Albeit Is not a

OH, THOSE GOOD JURORS!
A Wild Scramble to Get Excused From
the Petit Panel.

A Wild Scramble to Get Excused From
the Petit Panel.
Some of the men who have for years
been ioudest in their lamentations about
the bad petit juries that have been drawn
by the different sheriffs, were summoned
themselves to serve during this term of
court. 1t was confidently expected by
people we'll posted upon Court House
matters that today when the roll call of
the petit jury would be made number
of applications to be excused from serv-
ing would be presented.
Those who expected this to happen
were mot disappointed. AS soon as the
clerk finished the roll call more than one
half of the sixty jurors made an onslaught
on the Court. The eagerness these jurors
displayed to obtain the ear of the Court
made both Judge Werts aud Judge Lip
pincott smile.
Out of the number who asked to be ex-
cused, advancing every conceivable rea-
son for the request, David A. Ball. John
M. Jones and Francis j. Wander

term; Nelson Edge, Gustav Hauser

LOCKED SCHOOL DOORS.
The West Side Avenue M.
E. Church Has a Lively
Row on Hand.
QUEER NOTIONS OF DISCIPLINE.
An Old Foe of DR.. Scudder Defes
His Pastor and the Church
Trustees.
QUEER NOTIONS OF DISCIPLINE.

There is lively row in progress in the
West Side Methodist Episcopal Church
which is located on West Side avenue
near Ege. The trouble is the outcome of
the action of the Sunday School Superin-
tendent, who gained considerable motor
iety not many months ago by making a
direct attack upon the methods
of the Rev. John L. Scudder,
in establishing bowling alley
and gymnasium in connection with his
church. Mr.. Scudder. it will be remem-
bered, entered into controversy with the
ministerially inclined gentleman, and
some spicy arguments resulted.
This same gent leman was recently
made Superintendent of the West Side
Sunday Schoool. The fact that
the Sunday school children came
to the service late and fire.
quently left before the conclusion
Of the same, annoyed him and it is al
legged that without consulting anyone as
to the best manner of remedying this
condition of affairs, he personally saw to
it that promptly at half-past two, when
the Sunday school service was opened,
the doors were locked and kept securely
bolted until the afternoon service was
over.
The Superintendent's action caused
much unfavorable comment and several
complaints were made to Pastor Atkinson
that number of children had been un-
able to gain admission to the Sunday
School room.
The Pastor, in conjunction with the
trustees of the church, waited upon
the superintendent, and it is al
legged a lively scene ensued and
the Superintendent is credited with hav-
ing said:-'I am Superintendent of this
Sunday school, and I do not propose to
have NV methods of discipline set aside.
If my course Is not pleasing to one and
all, some one else will have to be Super
intendent. but justso long as hold the
position will not be dictated to-"
Pastor and trustees alike were sur
prised. but no definite action was taken
at this meeting. Subsequent develope.
ments show, however. that the Superin-
tendent will either have to keep the
Sunday school doors open or resign from
the position he is now holding
The Superintendent Is not disposed tc
resign nor keep the Doors open and the
outlook is that there will be hot 70 W
before he is removed. A meeting of the
church people is to be held this week to
decide what course is to be pursued. The
Superintendent will probably be re-
moved.

as know, no one denies that coal would
be cheaper at tide water Init The question
Was who should got the benefit of the re-
duction OF price. The railroad company
said it wanted the benefit, and the Demo-
cratic party said the company should not
have it. The Governor said. Either the
people will get the benefit or will not
sign the BILL The combination refused
to reduce the price of COAL or enter into a
contract with the State, and Leon ABB
bett. your Governor today, vetoed the
bill.
81 did not propose to say anything
about this bill in this campaign until the
Governor had acted upon it, although ]
have been grossly slandered because of it.

never has been one hour when there was

be raised by any action of the Legisla.
ture." (Applause).
