was elected judge In a republican dis
trict, overcoming a republican majority
of over $500 in the district. He was
defeated for reelection, being caught in
the republican landslide of 1895. He

demonstrating his political sprinting
qualities by defes ting NJ. L. Crew, q
stanch republican farmer, in the fall of

ABOUT THE SANTA fE.
Son ething AhouI ."e equipments that
Bre tks the Record.

Topeka, Kan. Oct. S.-According to
reports and official documents in the
hands of officers of the Santa Fe in this
CITY the unusually small proportion Of
a little more than per cent of the to-
tai equipment of the company in the
way of freight cars is in bad order.
This is a. rema rka.ble showing.
The Santa Fe company operates on
the Santa Fe proper freight cars 10 the
number of 0,000. owned and leased.
But 2 per cent of this number is unfit
for use. Railway managers regard D
per cent OF the total equipment in bad
order as an excellent showing, but the
percentage seldom reaches a point as
low as this. The percentage reported
by the Santa Fe is very unusual in rail-
way circles
In addition TO the 10000 owned and
leased cars the Santa Fe proper oper-
ates about 5000 cars owned by other
lines An evidence OF the fact that
this company requires an extra large
number of cars for the transaction OF
its business is the record OF 1.S45 cars
loaded for shipment in one day. This
feat was accomplished by the Santa Fe

ST. PAUL A GREAT SUCCESS.
Owners and Builders Say she is Better than
the st. Louis.

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. S.-Despite the
fact that the record of the big Ameri-
can Liner. st. Paul. on her recent trial
trip, was but POS knots an hour, while
her sister ship, the St Louis, made
over 30 knots on her official run, the
trial Of the new ship was in every way
more satisfactory to both builders and
owners than was the first run OF the St
Louis. This was the statement of both
President Clement A. Griscom of the
Interna tional Navigation company, and
Edwin s Cramp. after the landing in
New York yesterday, and both expect
great things of the new vessel. No
comparison of records between the two
ships can be made, as the conditions
We're entirely different, the st. Louis
having run in the English channel, af-
ter thorough preparation. and after sew
eral transatlantic voyages. which
brought her machinery TO its bearings.
As compared with the first run of the
St. Louis. a short trip out to sea and
then TO New York, the trial Of the st.
Paul showed that in many respects she
Is a decided Improvement on her sister
ship. One great Improvement that
was accomplished after careful study,
is the ability of the ST. Paul TO burn

equal facility. The ST. Louis does de-
cidedly better with Welsh coal, and il
is used in her fires exclusively. In the
ST. Paul some different arrangements

try and difficult to get into. One of
Donovan'S partners went TO Colorado

considerable money and have written

begin until 1870 o'clock this afternoon.
They came in all manner of conveyan-
ces, and their teams We're tied in the
field adjoining the old General Wayne
hotel, across the road, and behind the
old homestead still belonging TO the
Price family. who were among the first
settlers of Pennsylvania.
The reception committee made every
body welcome, and showed many inter
estins relics, such as the original deed
by which a lot containing half an acre
was conveyed in 1895 by Edward Reese
to the trustees of Merton meeting for a
graveyard. There was also exhibited
an old marriage certificate, dated 1873,
of Jacob Zell and Hannah Levering. AT
q reunion of this family in 1883 the de-
scendants of the witnesses o the docu-
ment above referred to inscribed their
names below, and the whole is now
framed. The old oaken table on which
they We're accustomed to place these
documents for the signatures of the
witnesses is sill in the meeting house.
The last marriage celebrated there was
some sixty years ago, when Benjamin
Hunt and Esther Price were welded.
Mrs. Hunt is in her eighty-fouTth year,
and was present at the celebration to-
day. 1t was her GRANDPA Their, Edward
Reese, who gave the original grant of
land for this Merton meeting house.
Dave Drum Young acted for the re-
ceptiOn committee, giving much inter
eSting historical information TO those
who went through the old meeting
house. Not only was the peg pointed
out where William Penn used to hang
his hat when he attended divine service
here. but also the bench in the corner
where George 3. Roberts, now preSi-
dent of the Pennsylvania railroad, but
then a small boy. used to go to sleep
when brought to meeting by his par
ents President Roberts parents are
now resting in the old graveyard to-
gether with many other members OF
that Welsh family, the earliest grave
of which dates back to 1884.
A large tent had been erected on the
ground in front of the meeting house,
with seats for about 1000 persons. The
meeting was presided over by Robert
NJ. Janney of Philadelphia. After
brief interval of silent meditation, Miss
Mary ]. Walker read the historical
paper.

GIN HOUSES BURNT.
Some Suggestions About the Ginning
of Cotton

Of Cotton.
The gin house Of John Brown ut Clat-
worthy's Cross Roads was burned Friday, Oc-
tober j. including gins, four bales cotton, cot
ton seed, &C.
The gin house of Mr.. T. T. Cromer was burnt
last week. 1t was located on his farm, on
Hard Labor, near White Hall.
1t will he remembered that the ginnery OF
Mr.. J. Allen Smith was burnt at AbbeVllle
some three weeks ago.
We have not heard ii there was any lhsur-
ance on either property.
In connection with the notice OF these un-
fortunate circumstances, 1t might be wei 70
, add u sermon, and apply the lesson which
these constantly recurring losses teach, name
ly: That 1t Is only question ni time when
every gin house will be burnt. Ihe hlgn rale
of insurance which some Oh tne com pan!es
while many of the richest, safest and
most trustworthy companies refuse all such
risks, even at the high premium which 9th
ers charge 10 assume these risks.
We do not presume 10 advise any body, but
we may be allowed TO make practical sugges-
tions on practical subject, as follows:
/. That all persons under all circumstances
should be extremely cautious about entering
so hazardous business as that OF ginning
> That farmers should not send their cot
ton to gins whose owners % are 5 irresPEnsloe or 1oe
ey damage for the possible or prooaole loss oi
their cotton.
8. The owner OF gin, we peleVe, IL liaple
for destruction Of his customers cotton,
while 1t Is detained In the house, waiting to
be ginned, but what protection has custom
er II the owner OF the gin is unable 10 pay
L. Cotton should be taken from GIN the
earliest moment possible after 1t is packed.
We are under the impression that the gin.
ners liability ceases after it Is packed and
thrown out of the gin and on TO the gin yard.
5. Customers who take their cotton to lire.
sponsible ginners. must Of necessity take all
the risk OF fire, which they need not do, II
they put their cotton into the hands m .aei OF men
In the foregoing remarks we mean no re-
Election at ali upon The credit and financial
standing Of any gin owner.
Abbevile county has lost three ginneries
already this season. and It is altogether prob
able that the owners are plenty able To settle
with their various customers.
The object of this article Is 10 put people on
their guard against entering SO doubtful or
dangerous business as that of ginning cot
ton and to warn planters OF the risk which
they assume in taking their cotton to IRE
sponsble ginnerles.
