An OLD MAN BADLY INJURED.
DAVID w. ELIAsoN WAS ALMOST
SCALDED TO DEATH AT THE
LIEBIG WORKS.


David W. Eliason, who lives at No
$40 West Third street, was almost
scalded to death on Saturday while at
work at the Liebig Chemical Works
His condition for awhile was thought
Ito be serious. but he is now coming
around all right.
Mr.. Eliason was engaged in boiling
hair in a digester. Much grease and
organic matter collect from the hair.
and lately trouble has been experienced
in keeping the valves of the digester
from clogging. This clogging is dan
gerous, as explosions are apt to result
If the matter Is deposited.
Mr.. Eliason. while experimenting
the boiling, was about to pass one Of
the valves when IL burst with terrific
force and a loud noise. He was knock
ed off his feet and thrown to a plat
form ten feet away The shock was so
great that before he could recover him
self the hot grease, which gushed from
the opening, spattered over his entire
body. His arms, left shoulder, face,
part of the back and one of his heels
were badly scalded. He was taken to
his home and DR.. Joseph p. Pyle dress
ed the wounds.
The unfortunate man is GO years of
age and the injuries are very painful.
The scalded parts are bandaged in cot
ton, saturated with linseed oil and lime
water.

ACCOMMODATION TRAINS OFF.
TRAFFIC OF THE DELAWARE d.
VISION BADLY CUT UP BY THE
TROLLEY.

TROLLEY.
The Wilmington and New Castle
railway has been playing havoc with
the passenger traffic of the Delaware
division trains. The latter have been
carrying very few passengers of late.
When the trolley cars were started
the accommodation trains hauled two
passenger cars on the five trips made
between Wilmington and New Castle.
Then one of the two cars was dropped.
Ii was sufficient to haul all the passen-
gers that preferred the railroad to the
trolley After connections were made
with the Wilmington City Railway, by
which New Castle passengers were
landed at Fourth and Market streets.
the decrease In the railroad traffic wac
still greater. Scarcely any persons ex-
cept the employees OF the railroad rode
on the cars.
A railroad man said yesterday that
no trains at all would be run to VIII
mingtcn If II were not for the COM
pany's charter However, the announce
ment was made In New Castle last
night that after July ! only one round
trip daily would be made by the New
Castle accommodation. The announce
ment was confirmed this morning by
the issuance Of a new time card. This
train will leaveWilmington at II. .15a. m,
and return from Battery Park at Ala
o'clock. There will be no night trains.

It was again rumored that the Bay
State Gas Company was to cOnsum-
mate a deal with the Standard Oil Com
pany at the office of Mr.. Addicks, in
the Harrison Building, Fifteenth and
Market streets. Philadelphia, yesterday.
Mr.. Addieks was seen by a reporter
just as he was leaving his office in COM
pany with a number of men. He de-
MED that there had been any such deal.
nor had there been any meeting OF the
directors of the gas company during
the day at his Office.
Mr.. Addicks said he did not know
what gave rise to the rumor as there
was no foundation for II. When asked
whether he anticipated such deal, he
again called attention to the fact that
there was no deal, but he could not
foretel what might take place.
There was a meeting in his office
which, ne stated, was of mining ccm-
pany in which he was interested.

a DANGEROUs CROSSING.

Third street crossing of the p, w. <
b. railroad always was dangerous, but
it's dangers have been increased since
that point has been made the terminus
of the street railways. Yesterday after
noon an aciden was narrowly averted.
A team was coming up Third street and
the safety gates were up. A shifter was
drawing near the crossing. The driver
drew up his horse Just in time TO pre-
vent a collision. The gateman could
not see the team because Of two cleo
trio cars obstructing his view.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With ScrofuIous Humors- How a Cure Was Effected.
 "When five years old my little boy had scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It was worst on his chin, although the sores on his cheeks and hands were very bad. It appeared in the form of red pimpIes which would lester, break open and run and then scab over. After disappearing they would break out again. They caused intense itching and the little sufferer had to be watched continually to keep him from scratching the sores. We became greatly alarmed at his condition. My wife's mother had had scrofuIa and the only medicine which had helpd her was Hoods SarsapariIla. We decided to give It to our boy and we noted an improve ment in his case very soon. After giving him four bottles of Hoods SarsaparilIa the humor had all been driven out of his blood and it has never since returned.u .u WILLIAM BARTZ, 416 South Williams St., South Bend, Indiana.
 You can buy Hoods SarsapariIIa of all druggists Be sure to get only Hoods.

THE people of Southern Nsw York propose to have 8 state all to them selves. It is proposed 50 cut eff the six teen southern counties and create the "State of Manhattan" A bill will be introduced at once to that effect on the assembling of the New York legislature. Perhaps the thing behind this move- ment proposing the division of the older states here and there is the purpose to offset the growth of the states west of the Mississippi and thus retain control of the United States Senate, matter that Is now great bugbesF with the east. The small fry politician sees in the division of the state of New York more offices and more spells; the states men of the east with az sectional bias, which most of them seem to have, see the means of holding down the western half of the country and controlling 1t to their own sweet will for all time to come, for be it said to the diegrscs of
 the United States Senate it is no longer body of statesmen each sud every one of whom Is broad enough and liberal enough and patriotic enough to be 8 legislator for the whole country; seo-
 tionsI and state prejudice prevail in the
 Senate as in the House which is ez
 pected ;to be the place where stasee re-
 csivs special attention. It would be
 well for Congress by some proper legis-
 Iation to confoe the Senate to national
 questionsi if tbat were possible; but
 Congress will never voluntarily do that.
 If it is ever done it must be done in Ds-
 sonsl convention insUgurated by the
 people and the demand made upon Con-
 greee to legislste accordingly or the
 constitution amended by the vote of
 the states theieon without sotion of
 Congress.

Big Oonventian Held iniOhioago To-
 Day.
 CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-Delegste from la boz organizations, co operative societies, single tax clubs and other reform move ments from all over the state are gath cred here today to attend 8 convention in the Women's Temple in the interest of the direct legislation known as the initiative and referendum. The move ment had it's inception in 8 call issued by au executive committee representing all the economic societies of Chicago and which declares shat conditions have sadly changed since the fathers of the country adopted what was then thought to be the best expression of lf-govern- ment, that vensl legislation is ssppinR the life of the nation, that the courts are pervsrting low to the overthrow of personal liberty end the subversion of private right and that the country Is moving surely to the destruction of free Qoverumert snd that the time has aF- r,yed when She political system should be pureed by the adoption of the initis- tive snd referendum so that the power of political machines may be struck down and legislation be dictated and advised by the people themselves. The congress will open shis afternoon and continue for three days. Ex-Governor Altgeld, Congressman Towne of Duluth, Congressman L4Follette ot Wisconsin, Captain w. P. Black are among those expected to take part in the prcosed- iugs. An invitation wss recently ex- tended to Ex-President Harrison, who has announced himself as fsvoring the initiative and referendum, but his pres ence is not expected. The convention will probably bring into existence B ns- tionsl organization to be known as the Direct Legislative Uoion.
