cross the Piscataqua river in rickety
scow less than 25 feet above the falls at

II to % years, started out with no oars,
but pieces of boards for paddles. The riv-

carried the boat towards the dam with
alarming rapidity. The young men all
jumped as the scow hung for minute

rocks below the falls,

Mr.. REED DIseUsTs TlLLMAN.
Speaker Shows Him Absurdity of His
Position South Carolina Dispense
rio

Washington, July Ex-senator TILL
mans hobby is the enactment of a law to
enforce the dispensary system in South
Carolina. He has always been dubious of
success in trying to pass it through the
House and the other day he sought to re-
lieve his uncertainty by an interview
with Speaker Reed, who happened to
stroll over to the Senate "Look here,
Mr.. Speaker y said Senator Tillman, II
wish you would agree to specific rule by
which the dispensary bill can be called
up in the House."
.sLet me see,' drawled the Speaker,
with his characteristic blandness, ''that
is a bill to override the decision of a
United States court
No sir,'' retorted Senator Tillman,
hotly.
SIS it to express ths wishes Of the people
of the United States or the people of
South Carolinapa inquired the Speaker
with a tantalizing smile on his face.
"The people of South Carolina" replied
Senator Tillman quickly, beginning to
realize that he was not making much
Roadway with his request.
The legislature of South Carolina
legislates for the people of the state" was
the Speaker nonconmittal but exasper-
ating response to the Senator.
4 "That Reed thinks he is Atlas, with
the responsibility of the world on his
shoulders" replied Senator Tillman, in
disgust, as he retired from the tilt with
the Speaker, without an assurance of a
special order for his pet bill.

p. LOWELL SERIOUSLY ILL.
Stricken with Paralysis at Summer Home
Cottage City.

Cottage City, July 14.-John P. Lowell,
founder of the John P. Lowell Arms com
pany of Boston, was stricken with
paralysis at his summer cottage here this
afternoon. Mr.. Lowell came to the Vine
yard about two weeks ago from his home
in East Weymouth.
He was not enjoying vigorous health
and his relatives and friends hoped the
change would prove of benefit. Mr.. Low
ell was accompanied by Ed Littlefeld,
who for years has been his companion.
They opened Mr.. Loyell's cottage, which
he styled the Martin Box" the resi-
dence beingRlocated on the Highlands.
4 Yesterday afternoon the family had a
late lunch. Mr.. Lowell partook lightly,
and, having finished, left the table with
apparent difficulty. When members of
the family left the room he was looking
over magazines on a table. A few min
utes later Miss Helen, his granddaughter,
entered the room. She found the old gen
tleman upon the floor, apparently dead.
The alarm was given, and neighbor
mounted his bicycle and summoned a
physician.
1t was soon learned that Mr.. Loyell's
condition was critical, that he was com
pletely paralyzed. He is II years old.

Wool People Agree.


Washington, July 14.-The contending
forces on the wool schedule, the carpet
manufacturers and the wool growers,
outside the tariff conference have practi-
cally reached an agreement which it is
presumed will be ratified by the confer
ees. This agreement provides for the
restoration of the House rate, of II and
u cents respectively on first and second
class woods and on the third class article.
The wool men agree to the proposition
of the carpet makers to extend the divi-
dend line from 10 to ~ cents, making the
rate on woods of this class worth less
than 70 cents dutiable at four cents a
pound, and those worth more than
twelve cents dutiable at s cents. This
increases the rate on all the higher
grade woods which is agreeable to the
wool men and holds the carpet wool
down to figure acceptable to the manu-
facturers.

DOUBLE DROWNING ACCIDENT.
Two Boys Perished When Trying to Save
Others.

West Enosburgh, VT, July IA
double drowning accident under partic-
ularly distressing circumstances occurred
here this afternoon, sad incident of the
sudden rise of the river. John Dow and
his family live on the bank of the river
and the water during the night came up
SO quickly that it flooded the lower
story of the house. There was no way
for the family to leave the house and
attempts by the neighbors to reach them
were unsuccessful. Finally early in the
morning, Frank Scott of Akersfield
made raft and with Frank Hayes, aged
Is, pushed out into the current. The
raft was too frail to stand the strain and
when 1T parted Scott and the boy fell
into the water. and both were drowned
as help from the bank could not reach
them. Hayes body was recovered, but
watchers are patrolling the stream to
find Scott's body. The blacksmith shop,
both lumber mills and several houses
along the river have been swept away.

Red-Hot right On for the Pennsylvania
Senatorship.

Harrisburg, Pa, July 14.-In brief,
but significant interview here yesterday
Governor Hastings's statement, made
here the other day, that he would be a
candidate for reelection, is accepted as a
challenge. The governors words are also
taken to mean that war is to be declared
upon Quay and that the governor himself
may be the Senator's opponent.
He SAID yesterday: Senators Quay and
Penrose called on me on Saturday morn
ing. The purpose of their visit was to in
duce me sign the Becker bid socalled, re-
lating to Philadelphia, and they were
very urgent. When declined to make
any promises, Senator Quay annou need

EVE OF EUROPEAN WAR.
London Standard Regards Situation in
South East as Extremely Grave.

London, July 1.-The Evening Stan
dard regards the situation in Southeast
ern Europe as extremely grave and says
there Is no doubt, unless appearances
are most deceptive, that hostilities be-
tween Turkey and Greece will shortly be
renewed. The paper says: Perhaps
we may be at the beginning Of a general
European war" Referring to the broad
question of an attempt by Europe to CO.
cree Turkey, the Evening Standard says:
So far as England is concerned. public
opinion does not favor going to war for
the sake of Greece. Perhaps the best way
out would be to make compromise wit5
Turkey; for the existing deadlock is slow
" but surely running Greece. We have
before us the terrible prospect of Euro
pean war; and 1t is not worth running
such a risk for the mere sake of rehabili-
tating Greece

Pitcher Klobedanz Gives Bad Exhibition
of Himself.

Cleveland, July 14.-Klobedanz began
by giving thlee bases on balls without a
strike and the Indians batted him out of
the box In the fourth inning, scoring
nine runs after two men were out. Wal
lace's home run to deep centre, which
came with the bases full and brought in
the last four runs in this innings, was
the feature of the game. Powell took
it easy after the fourth and let the Bos-
tons hit it, and there was some great slug
ging but the lead was too big. Stivetts
