JIG. Auten, of Pottsville, supervisor for
the Pennsylvania r. r. Co., and w. G. Elem
ing, track foreman Of st. Clair, were awarded
the supervisors and foreman's annual prizes
respectively, during the late general inspec-
tion of that road. The prizes are awarded
for best division for supervisors and for best
sub -division prize for track foreman having
best track, &c, on his section. The foreman
receiving the prize for the best section had
charge of the Shenandoah branch from the
time the track was laid until three years ago,
when he was transferred to the section reach
ing from Pottsville to Wetherill Junction
Mr.. Auten has three foremen under him and
the tracks as inspected gave the three fore
men under him the best marks over the
whole Pennsylvania railroad. Mr.. Fleming
was No. 1; L. j. Fleming, foreman of Shen-
andoah to Frackville; and p. Bauer, Morris
Junction to New Boston Junction, Nos. . and
3 respectively. This speaks more than well
for these foremen, as the track over which
they haYe charge is the hardest to keep in
shape over the entire line, owing to being un.
dermined and on heavy grades.

Fairy Aunty Macassa, the men into wax
works and the young and pretty women into
ugly oh1 women. The former were sold to a
shown ,, Prof. Lightning Haskins, and the
latter " 3re condemned to wander in search
of their husbands. The situations are very
funny, representing how the old ladies visit
the wonderful show of Lightning Haskins'
'Agglomeration of Wax Works. and there
discover their loIg-lost husbands, how the
latter having recognized their wives, but
unable to release themselves or them form
the "Waxwork Union" and refuse TO wax

another by the r~elenting Fairy, who visits

IMPORTANT
DECISION !
A State or Municipality Cannot Tax
POStmaSter's Salary.
OPINION BY ATTORNEY GENERAL
He says the United States is Supreme
Within It's Sphere Of Action, n a
Postmaster is Not Required to
Pay a Tax Upon His
Office Income.

Washington, Nov. 2O.-The issue as
to whether a state or municipality can
levy an income tax on the salary or
compensation of a postmaster, a sub
ject Of broad interest to the federal
service generally, was decided yester-
day in an opinion rendered by Acting
Assistant Attorney General Harrison j..
Barrett, for the postofdce department
The case arose on an inquiry from the
postmaster at Gastonia, N. c. It is
held that a state has no authority to
taX the emoluments paid to any Off
GERS or agents which the United States
may "use and employ as necessary n
proper means to execute its sovereign
power" Mr.. Barrett says: "The gov
eminent of the United States is SUI
preme within its sphere of action, and
any act Of the state or municipality
which attempts to tax the emoluments
paid to the officers of the government
is unconstitutional and void. The post
master at Gastonia cannot be required
to pay a tax upon the income Of his
Office either to the state of North Caro-
lima or to the municipality ofGastonia."

A disastrous wreck occurred on the p. & R.
railroad, near Mintzer's, at midnight last
night, and delayed traffic on the main line
for six hours. The new bridge erected at
that point was insecurely braced, causing the
accident. While a freight train was midway
on the bridge, the train parted and three cars
precipitated in the stream, reducing them to
kindling wood, They were ignited and
burned as the quickest means of removing
the debris. The road was badly torn up, and
all trains this morning were delayed some
what.

ENCOURAGING TWINS.
An Insurance Scheme Which APP

New York Journal: Plural births
have not usually been looked upon with
favor in the popular mind, but this
may be changed if a new scheme re-
Gently announced is found to be all it
claims 20 be.
The British Medical Journal says that
there is now an insurance company in
London which undertakes to insure the
risk of twins. Every subscriber of %
cents is promised $50; of so cents, $50;
of IS cents, $50; and so on up to $3.50
for 81.
It is added that the insurance must
be completed one calendar month be-
fore the birth, but the subscription in
sures for eight months from the day of
application.
The average frequency of twins is
about one in eighty. so that this new
and invaluable system of insurance Of
fers odds of 120 TO / against an event,
the actual odds in fact against this
event being only so to 1.
1t may be, although the advertise
ment does not say so, that the money
is paid only on the birth of living
