felt that while those were not needed
at present, it would be well to open
headquarters next summer, after the
new committee is selected. in anticipa-

There is disinclination on the part of
the Executive Committee to permit Mr..
Babcock of Wisconsin to retire from
the Craftsmanship if he shall continue
as a member of the committee, and an
effort will be made to retain him in
his present position, owing to the ex-
cellent record made by him during the
last two campaigns.
While there was nothing in the in
formal talk upon the subject which in
dicated the slightest friction between
the Congressional and the National
Committee, it was felt that the latters
work would be largely educational in
character, and that the Congressional
Committee should continue as former
ly the labor of securing the election of
Representatives in the several States.

ordinary Escape.
Frank Payloslli and Thomas Rudnifski,
two Poles had a very narrow escape from
death on the Lehigh Valley railroad, near
the red bridge, last night Both were struck
by the seven o'clock west-bound fast train,
but neither was dangerously injured.
The two men arrived here yesterday to
look for work and stopping at All West
Centre street. They went out to see the
sights and after getting iEtoxicated walked
along the railroad. The engineer of the
train blew his whistle and reversed the en-
gine, but was unable to stop the train. The
two men were stopping OFT the track, one
on each side, when the cylinder
boxes of the engine struck and knocked
them down. When the train stopped it was
run back, but the two men were on their feet
again and refused any assistance. Later in
the night they called upon and were treated
by Dr. G.. NJ. Hamilton. Pavloski's left arm
was splintnred above the elbow and he was
severely bruised about the shoulders and
head. Rudnifski was badly bruised on
the right arm. The latter disappeared
after being attended to and did
not return to his friends until thi,
morning. In explanation he said he
hid himself because he was afraid he
mi ght be arrested for not giving the train the
right Of way.
