Forty Iou,sg Persons Go Oper a Preci-
pice Itto a Quarry
ALTOONA, Pa. Jan. 26.-At 10 o'clock
last night sleighing party of forty per-
sons from Tyrone accidentally drove into
the quarry at Pemberton. The sled,
horses and pleasure-seekers were precipi-
tated to the bottom Of the preclpice,
where they lay in a great mass. special
train from Tyrone conveyed to the scene
of the catastrophe all the doctors in town,
The party was mostly made up Of young
people Boys and girls with arms and
legs broken, with blood streaming from
their woun IS, lay in great drifts of snow,
slowly perishing from the intense cold.
The mercury was 3 deg. below zero
adding 10 the horror of the catastrophe.
The latest reports say that none are dead
though twenty are fearfully injured
among them Alice Hadden, Jessie Stone
Eugene Champion, William Jones and
Howard Templeton.
Just who is to blame for the accident nc
one likes to say. The horror of the situa'
tion is SO great that people talk very little
about it. Some of the people in the party
had many relatives and friends and the
grief of the community is consequently
great.

fell upon the adjoining building, which is
but four stories high. From the roof of
this structure two fire companies were di-
recting the streams of water into the
building and several of the firemen were
buried under the debris when the wall
fell. Had warning not been given it is
probable that both companies would have
been lost.
Most of the firemen on the roof reached
point of safety before the wall tumbed
and those who were caught escaped the
most of the falling bricks. They were
carried from the roof in an unconscious
condition by other tiremen and removed
to hospitals. Some OF the spectators we're
slightly injured by falling particles, but
only three were injured serious enough to
require the service of ambulances to re-
move them to their homes.
There were forty fires in the city to-day,
but most of them were extinguished with
slight loss.

CARDINALS RESIDENCE, 40 N. CHARLES ST..
BALTIMORE, Nd Jan %, 1897.
ReU. Francis S. HGmtin-DEAR SIR; | beg to
acknowledge your favor OF The 21st, in which
you invite me to Washington on the 26th inst.
for the purpose of publicly attesting approba-
tion OF the great principle of arbitration en-
bodied in the treaty between the United States
and Great Britain. While l am heartily in
sympathy with the object of this meeting and
ardently hope that the promise held out TO us
by this treaty of settling our disputes with
out those threats and rumors OF war so
disturbing to public peace and business Will
be fulfilled, regret that previous engage
menJ which | cannot postpone will prevent
me from joining in person the distinguish ed
gentlemen who have issued the call in ap-
proving the arbitration. In taking this course
joint letter has been published expressing
the sentiments OF Cardinals Vaughn, Logue
and myself. l am sure that not less ardently
than they hope their efforts in the cause OF
peace will not be in vain. Faithfully yours in
Christ, JAMES CARDINAL GIBBONS

NO LoVE FOR THE 1ARKs.
AssembIypsdn Price Declares They Ar,

AssenIbEypadn Price Declares They Are
Enemy TO Crops.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 26. - The
mellow warbIing of the joyous meadow
lark, caroIing in the shade of the redwoods s
and among he vine and olive-clad slopes
of ForestviIle. delights not the heart of
Assem- blyman Price. When he awakens
in the morning and says his prayer, the
song of the lark drives pious thoughts out
of his mind. He ars a million of them
singing sweetly to their mates, while wax
ing fat on his cherries and peaches in the
orchard, and the desire to murder is strong
within his bosom.
So when Waymire of Alameda made a
pretty speech in the Assem- bly, this morn
ing, telling his elIow-members from the
hills and dales and streams and groves
that the meadow-lark is the sweetest of
all the feathered songsters we know. that
its carol soothes the traveller passing by
and causes the plow horse to Kick up his
heels at the plowboy, Mr.. Price grew red
and pale by turns.
"Mr. Speaker, Mr.. Speaker" and Mr..
Speaker heard the call and recognized the
gentleman from Sonoma as soon as Way
mire had taken his seat, with a coun-
tenance exhibiting signs OF good deed
we'll done.
Then Price grabbed the bird idol of the
American poet, muffled its feathers and
stained its golden breast with gore as he
wrung its neck and cast it down quivering
at the feet of the poetic gentleman from
the city.
"The meadow lark is one of the most
destructive birds We have. You should
go to Sonoma County and see how they
ruin the fruit and grain crops. They
should not be protected; but should be
wiped off the face of the earth"
81 propose an amendment to the bill,
Mr.. Speaker" said Dennery of San Fran
cisco.
The clerk read the amendment, which
was to insert in place of "meadow larks'i
the words: "Chippies in cities and cities
and counties of the first-class." The dis.
cussion WAS ended by the burst of laughter
which followed, and the meadow lark may
yet be saved.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 26. = The
Assembly COMMITTEES on Municipal Cor
| porations held a protracGed meeting this
evening to consider Dibble's bill con-
ferring power upon the Board OF Super
visors to order change OF grade OF any
street in San Francisco Notwithstanding
the protest of any one owner OF property
abutting on the grade.
Ex-Superintendent of Schools Denman,
Attorney Rosenthal and others addressed
the committee. 1t appeared from their
statements that under the law as 1t now
| stands the protest of one property-owner
can prevent change OF grade. Denman
said that it was the wish OF the majority
of property holders in the business part
of the City to have the streets leading to
| the City front as nearly level as possible
in order to facilitate the work Of teams in
hauling merchandise, etc.
The residents and business people on
Polk street and Van Ness avenue wanted
straight road to the wharves. but they
were blocked by one or two property
owners. Rincon Hill should be cut
through, also, he said, and all business
streets should be graded either level or
not more than per cent grade. Polk
street had several hogbaeks which should
be cut down and hollows which should be
filed up. San Francisco would grow very
fast IN a few years. and would demand
level streets for the transaction OF its
business.
After making a few amendments the
committee agreed to report favorably on
the bill.

him was read by Chynoweth. 1t was to
the effect that three of Duckworth en-
ployes had not been present in Sacra-
mento on the dav of the temporary or
ganization, but on the contrary were in
Monterey. Belshaw said that he did not
know Thomas Doud. the writer OF the let
ter, and had never seen the original roll.
BreiIing of Alameda identified the tenn
porary roll. He said that he had asked Duck
worth to assist him in making up the roll.
Duck worth told him to copy the names OF
attaches out of the journal and to allow
them seven days pay; that such had been
the course pursued by the Legislature two
years ago. The witness employed Ed j..
Smith and r. r. Duckworth to assist him
in making up the roll, and they found
that there was a typographical error.
There were several names OF persons ap-
pointed by the chief clerk that had
been omitted from the journal by mis-
take of the printer. It was found that
the name of NJ. A. Kearney was on the
list and not in the journal as printed.
Several other errors of the same kind
were also found.
Breiling proceeded to tell how he had
withdrawn the whole report for further
consideration by the committee. On
January the report as corrected was
printed In the journal. 1t was generally
understood that the attaches on the list
had performed the duties for which they
we're paid The Comm ittee on Mileage
made no investigation; they were there
simply to fix the mileage without paying
any regard 10 the salaries.
The witness did not authorize anybody
to write The name of Ella Bateman on the
report. She was the wife of Andy
Branch. He did not know who put the
name on the list.f
Emmons asked: "You have stated that
Duckworth told you to put some addi-
tional names on because there was some
kicking on account OF certain parties not
having been taken care OF. !"
HE lold me-" replied Breiling, that
he had appointed those names, but that
they had been left out of the journal by
the printer"
"That was after the Speaker was
elected p su gested Emmons.
"Yes," Breiling responded, "but whether
he appointed these men after the election
of the Speaker or before, that 1 cannot
say"
The following names, added to the roll
after the appointment of the Speaker,
were read and noted by the committees:
T. W. Measure, electrician, $35; R. A.
White, gatekeeper, $2S; w. A. Reyner,
gatekeeper, 81; w. Howard, page, $21; W.
C. Dorsey, page, $21; E. Mclean, page,

assistant history clerk, $35; J. c. Will
liams, file clerk, $50; j. Ashley, porter,
$2S; w. Hopkins, page, $21.
The committee adjourned, subject to
the call of the chair.
