Young men, the first question your
employers ask themselves when business
becomes slack, and when it is thought
necessary to economize in the matter of
salaries, is, "Who can best be spared?"
1t is the barnacles, the shirks, the
make-shifts, somebody's proteges, some
body's nephews, and especially some
body's good-for-nothing. Young men,
please remember that these are not the
ones who are called for when responsible
positions are to be filed. Would you
like to gauge your own future fora posi-
tion OF prominence? Would you like to
know the probability of your getting
such position? Inquire within
What are you doing to make yourself
valuable in the position you now occupy?
If you are doing with your might what
your hands find to do, the chances are
ten to one that you soon become so
valuable in that position that you can
not be spared from it: and then, singular
to relate, will be the very time when
you are sought out for promotion for a
better place.

A Cave-in at Walston.

The down-pour of rain yesterday
caused the little stream that flows
through Walston TO get on tear. The
water tore down through the streets in
swollen flood and at a spot near the
store cavern occurred and tons of
loose earth and debris were washed
into the mines beneath, followed by the
rushing water. Workmen were in the
mines at the time and they were caught
in the flood without moments warn
ing, for Immediately after the bottom
of the stream dropped through the
miners were surrounded with water up
to their waists. Some had very narrow
escapes from death, but fortunately
none were cut Off from escape and all
were finally rescued. The accident is

Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-THE Andrews
senatorial committee this Afternoon re-
sumed the inquiry into the city's system
Of electric lighting. The only witnesses
examined were Prof. William D. Marks,
president of the Edison Electric Light
company and Arthur II. Lea, citizen
Prof. Marks stated that he probably
could supply the city with electric arc
lights at s1OO per year for each light and
said that municipal electric light
plant could not be run any cheaper than
can private one. When Lawyer Freed
ley asked the witness directly II his
company would be prepared to Did for
the $500 lights Of the city at the rate
of 500 for each light Professor Marks
replied: If this question related to
the whole city in one system I would
be only too glad to furnish $500 arc
lights of 450 volts each for $500, 600 per
annum." The Edison company cannot
bid for city lighting, the witness con-
tinued. because 1t is forbidden from so
doing by an ordinance authorizing the
company to use the streets of. the city.
Arthur H. Lea then resumed his tes-
timony. The establishment of munici-
pal plants, the witness declared, and the
distribution of the current for private
lighting purposes in the same manner
that the city now sells gas to private
consumers. would effect saving to the
municipality Of 100000 per year, the
sum now paid to the Electric trust
for the city's electric lighting. At 4.4O
O'Clock the committee adjourned until
next Wednesday.

THE WELLSB0RO MYSTERY
New Developments in the Case Of
Charlotte H0Well.
STATEMENTS OF THE DEFENSE
Major Merrick Withdraws his Motion
for the Discharge of the Alleged
Poisoner and Is willing That
the Trial Should Proceed.

Wellsboro, Pa, Dec. 5.--When the
trial of Mrs. Charlotte Howell, charged
with the murder Of Elizabeth Knapp,
was resumed this morning Major
George w. Merrick. counsel Of the de-
fendant. asked leave of the court to
withdraw the motion he had made yes
terday for the discharge of Mrs. Howell
from custody, for the reason that TO
case had been made out against her,
and to open the case for the defense.
Yesterday the counsel for the defense
made long argument In support Of the
motion, but this morning he stated that
the district attorney had quoted some
evidence which he had forgotten, and
he therefore concluded that 1t would
be necessary for the case to go to the
jury.
Upon his request being granted, Mr..
Merrick then opened the case for the
defense and cited several cases where
persons had been hanged on circum-
stantial evidence. In reviewing the evil
dence of the commonwealth, nearly
every witness was named, and severe.
ly handled by the counsel. He said
that while some had merely been mis-
taken in their testimony. others had
lied as to questions of fact. The de-
fense. he said. claims to be able to
prove that Mrs. Howell was not the
person who poisoned Miss Knapp, and
that the testimony submitted will
show that William Rightmire, the
girls discarded lover. Is the real cul-
prit in the case. 1t will also be shown
said Mr. Merrick. that many of the
tp
Miss Knapp were found by Chauncey
Howell In his yard at times when Mrs.
Howell was in bed. and it would have
been impossible for her to write them
or deposit them outside of the house.
Another Dcvelopmcut.
Another strange phase Of this re-
markable case developed today. The
defense offered to present forty-eight
letters which are alleged by the prose-
cution to have been written by Mrs.
Howell. Some of them are written on
the backs of letters received by Miss
Knapp The defence proposes to show
that these letters were stolen rom the
house and that the real author of them
thus sought to make evidence against
Mrs. Howell. These letters are O por-
tlOn Oh the lOt WHICH TIC COiiiIlouWcdith
asked to have admitted last week, and
which the court ruled out. The defence
also offers to prove the dying declara-
ton of Miss Knapp accusing William
Rightmire of being her murderer and
also a remark made by the deceased
the day before her death. asking Mrs.
Howell to burn up the box of rat poison,
because some one might say than she
(Mrs. HowelD had poisoned her.
This afternoon testimony for the de-
fense was given by several witnesses in
contradiction Of DR.. Brown and John
Brahaney on all the main points.
There was also some expert testi-
mony by DR.. Boom, Of philadelphia, in
regard to the care Of organs Of the body
which are intended for chemical an
alysis in cases Of poisoning. He stated
that in this case proper care had not
been taken in sending the organs from
Miss Knapp's body to him for analysis
