SERIOUS WATER FAMINE.
Il Greatly Interferss with Productio,
In the Schuyllkill Valley.

PoTTsvHLE, Pa, Oct. 26.-The Schuyl-
kill coal region is threatened with com
plete cessation of work at its industrial
establishments. and distress generally
among Its inhabitants, resulting from a
small water supply. In all this county
Minersville is the only town that has its
regular water supply. In Pottsville the
largest stream flowing into the only res
ervoir in use would not fill a two-inch
pipe. Pottsville is dependent solely on
this since the bursting of the main reser-
voir. The managers of the many indus
trial establishments are already arrang-
ing to haul water from mountain ponds
and streams wherever available.
OF the Mahanoy valley towns, Maha-
noy City, Shenandoah, Girardville and
Ashland are only given one or two
hours supply daily, while at some of the.
smaller towns and mining patches water
is doled out by the bucketful only once
in two or three days.
The electric light plants and many
other steam using establishments
throughout the region have been com
PEELED to either shut down altogether or
manage to get along at great disadvan-
taBe.
A number of the smaller collieries have
been rendered idle, while the larger
operations are kept going with water
which is hauled by railroad from a
mountain stream near Shamokin, dis
tance of twenty miles.
Shenandoah is great sufferer, and
owing to the inflammable nature of the
buildings, people are cautioned as to the
use of fire on their premises.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 26.-After thor
ough oyerhauling of the wreck, and a
final roll call of the passengers on the
Shamokin express, the list of victims
from Mondays awful wreck near West
Manayunk, on the Readings main line
is found to be eight dead and thirty five
injured, Hiram Gottschall, AZ years old,
of Reading, whose right leg was frac-
tured and left foot amputated, having
died at st. Timothys hospital, Rox-
borough, yesterday afternoon.
General Superintendent Bonzano and
Division Superintendent Whitcomb are
positive in their statements that the sys-
TEN under which the trains were run
ming was entirely safe, and that had the
orders been strictly observed there would
have been no wreck.
The conductors of both trains declare
that they had orders giving them a clear
track, and the dispatcher at West Falls
has admitted that the engineers were not
to blame. 1t is said "hold over orders
were sent to Pencoyd station ordering
the coal train to wait until the express
and accommodation following it had
passed down.
If such orders were sent they were not
delivered to the crew of the coal train,
though every opportunity was given by
the coal train stepping there to take on
extra cars.
AT Pencoyd station reporter who at.
tempted to ascertain whether "hold over"
orders had been received was refused any
information on the subject.
The official investigation will deter
mine the place where the blame belongs.
This will take plses in Noiristown, Be-
fore the coroner eI Montgomery county.

win Challenge Government clerks

CHICAGO, Oct. pa serious question
will present itself to the election com
missioners as result of the registration
1t is whether the government clerks who
have been in Washington can vote in the
precincts where they once lived. A
large number of pension and printing
office clerks presented themselves at the
polls for registration yesterday. Some
were refused, and those that were ac-
cepted were told that their names would
be followed on the books with mark
indicating that they were not qualified
voters. This treatment brought nearly
a hundred clerks to the commissioners
office to demand an explanation Chief
Clerk Taylor, who was in the office, said
he could find no law for allowing persons
to vote where they did not live The
applicants claim federal law in their
support.

SIN politics as in everything else, moth

because of personal disappointments, or
because candidates of their particular
choice have not been nominated, would
encourage the temporary defeat Of their
party, usually live to regret their action
and to realize how difficult it is for that
party to regain the ground that has been
unwisely and foolishly lost"
