Saved "A Whole TrainlOad.

Pennington, \. j., April 22.-Mrs
Mary Lawyer, who lives alone on the
Belvidere division of the Pennsylvania
railroad, near Scudder's Falls, has been
thanked and will probably be rewarded
by the Pennsylvania railroad company
for the heroism she showed last Satur-
day evening. She discovered the bridge
near her home on fire little while be
fore fast passenger train was due. She
saw that she had little time to fight the
fire, and did so until she heard the
rumbling of the train in the distance
She succeeded in putting the fire nearly
all out, realizing the danger of the pas
sengers, she ran down the track and
signaled the train 1t stopped few feet
from the bridge.
One of the sleepers on the bridge had
caught fire from a hot coal dropped from
the locomotive of the train which had
passed over just ahead of tine train Mrs
Lawyer signaled. The sleepers of the
bridge were .nearly burned, and the
bridge was badly weakened.

The back number up street produces
an array of figures to prove that the eN-
DeuditUres Of Cambria county were larger F.
in 1894 than in 1898. which ls correct, .
and has not been disputed or stated
otherwise nv us -6InSiiag-
We did nothing of the kind. We
produced the array OF figures to show
that the assertion Of the GosiHg
.sthatthr high tax rate Of four mills coun-
tv tax. ASSESSED fJr the yea,s lS"I and
Is %" was made necessary TO pay the
bills contracted under the Democratic
reign OF commissioners who occupied
the office in 1893 was not true and the
Costing this week leaves It's original as
sertion severely alone.
We showed by the array OF hgures
that the county finances OF 1898 were
ample to pay all the liabilities of the
county for that year and when the Cos
/ lima made the original assertion quoted
above it was ass, rting that which was
not true.
= the GosIiug has anything further to
say ON the original text we will be glad
! to hear it.
! Do you mean to sav that the state
mentS of 1898 and 1894 are TO be taken
| seriously 10 mean what they say. No,
| you know better, for you acknowledge
| Yourself that SIS, ,SS4 81 of expenses
were paid in in 1894 which were not in
CARED in that year, being liabilities
from 1898. Thus the Democratic com
misSioners by setting low mill rate,
not paving their debts, and finally
handing over to the treasury gOOdly
sum of money, attempted to play the
same game on the people that Cleveland
did during his first term. and with about
the same result. They got fired and 50
did he.-GOSiiBg
We certainly mean to say that the
statements of 1898 and 1894 are to be
taken seriously. We have some faith
in the integrity of our county commits,
sioners and county auditors who are
sworn to perform their duties with tidel
ity and we are 10th to believe, the Cos
ling to the contrary Notwithstanding
that they would put forth a statement
that is not to be taken seriously-that
can be sneered and pointed at by the
Gosiing after being paid for publishing
it, as mot to mean what they say
The majority of the board of commits
sioners and of auditors belong to tn,
same political faith as the Gosi5tg
chosen as the represe htatives of thei
party, and if the Republican organ
: have no faith in their statements, ther
the balance of the people must be a
: sea.
, The SIS, ,SS4 81 expenses of 1898 wer,
D.. paid in 1894 but they were paid, as tn
T FREEMAN stated, out of the funds col
t Iected in 1898 for that purpose. Tn
f Indebtedness was stated in the report 70

CURED in the Photographic blueprint
room of the patent Office in the south
west corner of the basement of the In
terror department by which five men
were hurt, but not seriously.
Albert Flint, chief photographer, was
pouring five gallons of ether into a bot
tie when the bottle fell to the slate floor
and broke, the contents running along
the place. He began sweewing it to-
ward the door, when some of the fluid
reached the stove and there was an ex-
plosion, which was quickly followed 10y
a second with considerable force, blow
ing up about 20 bottles Mr.. Flint was
blown through the door, his head strik-
ing mass of papers piled in the hall
way. He arose, his clothing in a blaze,
and rushed for the area calling for help,
which came quickly.
J. +. Wheat, Jr., J. f. Latimer, Mr..
Blacklage and Mr.. Theikill were also
blown through windows, but all escaped
serious harm. The property loss will

vided for by the state authority.

EX SENATOR H. Z. LAIRD, OF Greens
burg, who has made a careful study of
the income tax law, has discovered
questions involving the constitutiOnality
of the act. The senator says:
All share holders ofstock in the banks
or railroads and other corporations pay
ing dividends. under the operation Of
the act of congress Will pay the tax of ,
per cent, whether their income exceeds
81 900, or whether it fall below that sum,
if derived solely from the dividends of
such institutions. These corporations
will pay the tax and deduct it from the
dividend, which is the same as though
each individual shareholder should pay
IT himself. If any has an income of
81, 900, no part of which is derived
from such corporations or from state or
municipal bonds, the internal revenue
department will allow hIm to deduct
81 900 from his income and only pay a
tax of , per cent. on $1,000. If a wild
ow has an investment of 81, 600 in any
of these corporations, paying her per
cent. dividend, or Sl2O per annum, and
this is all the income she has, she must
pay tax of - 10 on this income.

Forest Fires Cause Much Damage.

Oil City, Pa, April 21.-Forest fires
have been raging in this neighborhood
for two days and considerable valuable
timber has been destroyed. In many
cases the fires have been started by acci-
dent, but in one case naliciously. At
POwell's Run, eight miles south OF here.
three men deliberately fired the woods
adjoining much valuable property and
they were chased for several miles by
neighbors, but escaped. Along Porcup-
inc and Reed runs, two of the best trout
streams in this neighborhood, the North
Peen, Watson Clapp and Kahle Broth
ers have from 200 to 400 producing
wells, many tanks of oil and drilling
wells. They have officers out watching
for fire and to arrest for tresspaSs all
fishermen, who it is said, started the fire
in the woods last year that DESTROYED
much valuable property for these firms.

Thanked b! Il Dead Mans vile.

Chicago, Ill, April 1S--The dramatic
scene OF a murdered mans wife giving
thanks for the conviction of his murder
er, was witnessed in Judge Stein s court
to-day.
Silviero Barelli mad been on trial for
the killing last November of Dominic
ParentO. The evidence showed that the
shooting occurred because Parento had
thrown Barelii out of his house after the
latter had struck Mrs. Parento with his
fist. The jury returned a verdict of
guilty to-day, recommending the death
penalty.
Mrs. ParentO, who had been a con-
slant attendant of the trial, fell upon
her knees and poured out fervent pray
er OF Thanksgiving that her husband $
murderer was to meet death. She called
down blessings on tine heads of the iur-
ors, and then, turning to the Judge,
pasSIonately pleaded that he would see
that the sentence be carried out.

GOOD OleOmargarIne, says the Phia-
delphia Record, cannot be differentiated
from good butter either by the sense of
sight or smell or taste. Good oleomar-
garine is as much better than poor but
ter as good butter Is better than soap
grease. These are facts which the legis-
lature cannot repeal. 1t is folly, and
worse than folly, to fight against new
chemical or mechanical discoveries
which enable men to improve and iu-
crease the means of living and to turn
waste substances to use and profit The
effect of putting an embargo on the con
sumption of the oleomargarine in one
part of the country is to drive the pro-
duct into other parts of the country and
into the foreign markets upon which
we depend for the sale of any surplus
we may have of butter. Competition is
not destroyed. The general average
of prices depends upon the general aver
age IN all the markets; and unless oleo-
margarine can be kept out of all mar
ketS, or unless its manufacture can be
successfully prevented by legal pains and
penalties, it Is mere waste of effort to
bar its sale in Pennsylvania.
1t is right enough, and proper en-
Ough, to make regulations forbidding
the sale of o!eomargarine as butter: and
to sell 1t for butter is fraud. Those
who buy butter should get it. But
oleomargarine Is wholesome and pala-
table substitute for butter, and it is an
outrage to either interdict its sale or its
manufacture Despite all restriction, it
goes into surreptitious use. Even the
butter makers enrich and cheaper their
product with oleo (OiD, and sell it for
butter without any special qualms of
conscience.
There is neither ordinary business sa-
gacity nor good morals in the legislation
which keeps out of Pennsylvania a
wholesome food product, and rears up
among us a peStilent brood of spies and
informers-

\ RISE in wages is evid emily close at
hand all along the line. The indus
tries in which the earnings of operatives
and employees have alseady been IN
caeased are so diverse as to indicate a
general upward movement. The ground
lost during the depression is being recov-
cred as fast as reasonably can be ex-
pected, and it is gratifying to be able to
feel that the recovery is healthy and
permanent. With labor fully employed,
earning fair wages, industrious and con-
tented, the whole land will smile under
new and greater prosperity.
