FERDY HERFF WEIGHING.

Prohibition Finley is supporting Cal
Iaghan and Herff.
Ferdy Herff's explanation is about
as clear as the San Pedro mud: it's
rotten.
What lawyer wrote Ferdy's speech
for him, and how much did Ferdy have
to put up for it?
The ghost of our noble George Pas
chal stared Ferdy in the face, and he
began to wiggle and squirm.
Ferdy says he does not own any
stock in the National bank, but papa
does. Explain some more, Ferdy.
If Ferdy juggles the cash like his
lawyer has the figures, it's no wonder
the people are clamoring for a change.
Mr.. Herff must think the people of
San Antonio simpletons to believe such
juggled rot read off at the meeting last
night.
Ferdy says he does not own any Wa
terworks stock; but how much does
papa own? Your lawyer forgot that
Explain some more, Ferdy.
Ferdy in his own written statement
confesses his sins, but is pleading for
more of the fatted bovine. Let CO.
Ferdy; twelve years is long enough.
Ferdy says: There was an appar-
ent Overdraft." Well Ferdy, why not
tell who was mayor at that time, and
who got the money on that overdraft.
There has never been any separa-
ton made of the sinking fund. Fer
dy's speech.-You openly acknowledge
then that you have not obeyed the pos
tive mandates of the city charter.
Ferdy does not tell the taxpayers
how much of the $4,000 sinking fund
was paid back into the National bank
Tor interest on money borrowed from
the bank on notes; so that that bank
would lend them more money.
II brothers Dreiss and Mccormick
will just step aside for a few days, the

deep on election day, that the sound of
Old Gabriel's horn will never reach
him.
No committee, or ticket has pulled
the leg of the peoples candidate for
city treasurer-T. B. Johnson-for cam
paign slush funds. Will Ferdy dare
tell how much they pulled his leg for;
and does he not know he cannot take
the oath of Office?
Ferdy did not ask Sutor to tell why
he had received warrants from the coll
lector instead of cash; did he not re-
ceive about $4,000 in this manner: did
he not refuse to receive any more war.

THE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS.
The Final Services Will Take Place in the
Church Of Which the President and
His Mother Have Long Been
Members.

Canton, o., Dec. 19.-Nrs. Nancy AL
lison Mckinley, the aged mother of the
president, died shortly after o'clock
yesterday morning. Almost two weeks
had elapsed since the stroke Of paraly-
sis, which was at once pronounced ia
tai and the wonderful vitality which
had kept death at bay so long had
deluded the friends and relatives into
the belief that the aged woman might
perhaps recover, despite the verdict of
her physician. But unmistakable signs
OF approaching dissolution were seen
early Saturday morning, and at night
fall it was evident that death must
come before morning.
The demise OF Mrs. Mckinley was
painless and peaceful. All night long
the members of the family were watch
ing and waiting for the time of disso-
luton. From II o'clock until the time
of death the Mckinley house was quiet
and shrouded in a stiffness that was
suggestive Of the mournful scenes
that were within the walls. No response
could be obtained by messengers or re-
porters who sought in vain for news.
Shortly before midnight the attendants
discovered what were thought to be
certain signs Of death. The fact ~ IS
communicated to the inmates Of the
household, who had gone to their
rooms, but had not retired for the

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Dec. 13.-A heavy
freight train, drawn by two locomo-

cars in the Vossburg tunnel, on the
Lehigh Valley railroad, yesterday Both
engines and about 16 freight cars were
derailed, blocking the tunnel COM
pletely. The wreck took fire and the
big tunnel began to fill with smoks.
Engineer John Thomas, who held the
throttle Of the first engine, was thrown
violently out Of the cab, and Fireman
James Deegan had an ankle sprained.
The trainmen had great difficulty in
making their escape out Of the tunnel.
They had to crawl on their hands and
knees for 800 feet. When they reached
the mouth Of the tunnel they were very

DIED FROM
INJURIES ]
John Jefferson Never Regained Con-
sciOusness After His Injuries.
REPORTS OF FOUL PLAY SECUTED
The Relatives Of the Deceased Express
Belief That the Circumstances Were
as Already Published and That
the Case was one Of
Accident.

John jefferson, the young man who was
found unconscious on Locust Mountain Fri
day evening, died at his home on Monbeck's
farm ner Kreb's station at g. 30 o'clock yes
terday morning without having regained
consciousness. Conclusion of the brain was
the cause Of death. Every effort was made
by the family and physicians in attendance
to at least restore consciousness, so that the
victim might tell just how he mot with his
injuries, but without the slightest success.
Reports have gained circulation that Jefier-
son was victim Of foul play and the fact
that his hat is missing serves to agitate the
report but this version emanates from dis
cussions outside the family circle. So far as
the relatives Of the deceased are concerned,
they express the belief that the victim sus-
tanned his injuries substantially as set forth
in the HERALD's issue Of Saturday, namely
that hearing the rattling of the broken bolt
ON the carriage jefferson leaned out to see
what caused the noise. That when doing so
he received a slight attack of heart disease
and in the fall from the carriage his foot
caught between the spokes Of one Of the
wheels.
Aside from this, no motive for foul play
can be coujectured. In the first place the
route is rarely frequented by tramps and the
family can think of no source from which a
malicious attack could come. In addition to
this the victim was dressed in his mining
clothes and those who might be suspected of
such an attack for the purpose Of robbery
keep well enough posted ON the pay days to
have known that the deceased could not
have had his wages with him.
The deceased was % years of age and sis
survived by his wife and a child one year
old. He is a son Of William Jefferson, of POP
South Jardin street. this town. The remains
were removed to the parental home yester-
day and the funeral will take place Wednes-
day afternoon. Services will be held at the
house at 1880 o'clock and subsequently in the
United Evangelical church on North Jardin
street. Interment will be made in the odd
Fellows cemetery.

From Instant Death.

Quakake, Dec. 13.-Lewis Parrish, 25
years Of age, resident of Wyoming county,
and guest of Charles d. Avery, of this
place, was run down on the P. & r. railroad
crossing at Tamanend Saturday evening by
an empty coal engine.
A loaded coal train had just passed south
when Parrish started to cross, not noticing
the approach Of north-bound engine, Il
was a very narrow escape from instant death.
Parrish was caught by the pilot and pushed
ahead over the projecting ties and rough
cinders. The engineer heard screams of dis
tress from beneath the engine and reversed
the levers, bringing the locomotive to a stop
within a short distance. The crew made a
search with lanterns Parrish was picked
up unconscious. His clothing was torn
aud he was bleeding profusely. He was
wedged between the pilot Of the engine and
the rail. His left leg was fractured near the
knee, he had numerous sprains about the
body, besides bruises on the hands and face.
