The trolley car ON the Lakeside railway
which left here at 7:2O o'clock last evening
came near being struck by p. & r, freight
train at the East Centre street crossing. The
car had already reached the north bound
track when the freight crew shouted to the
engineer TO shut OFF steam. The brakes
were quickly applied and the train stopped
within a few feet Of the ear. No commotion
was occasioned among its passengers, al
though several women were aboard. These
ears are supposed to come to a full stop and

LINES IN TROUBLE.
The Local Telegraph once Put out OF
Service.

shortly before nine o'clock last night a
great crowd Of people was attracted to the
local office Of the p. q X, and Western Union
telegraph system by an electrical display
which brilliantly Illuminated the office and
vicinity, and which was caused by the
grounding of either 81 telegraph or an arc
electric light wire. The cause Of the trouble
has not been determined.
Yesterday there were several indications of
trouble in tho telegraph Office but all efforts
to locate the source failed. Last night the
street electric light system gave evidences of
trouble on the circuit west of Main street and
shortly fter the switch board in the telc-
graph office caught fire. 1t was destroyed
with four of the instruments on the operat.
ing table. 1t was necessary to cut all the
wires connected with the switch board before
the trouble could bc ahatcd. The damage
caused amounted to about SlOO This morn.
ing new switch board was put in and the
Office put in service again before eleven
o'clock.
The damage was not restricted to town.
The men who made the repairs stated that
all the telegraph wires ON the Catawssi
division were burned out and lamaqua
suffered rs much As the local office. Some
/ people incline to the opinion that the trouble
/ had its source at or near Catawssa. Other'
believe the trouble wa, due to q crossing o
| the are and telegraph wires in town. The EN-
| ploycs of the street electric light company
/ spent several hours last night and to-day try
| ing to locate the source OF trouble wthou
| success.
THE TROUBLE LOCATED.

hold their sixth annual picnic in Browns 5
grove on Monday, August 10Th, and Judging
from the preparations that are being made
for the event it will mark an important
epoch in the history Of this most worthy

FISHED WITH DYNAMITE.
As Result Frank Berry Is Dead, His
BodN Horribly Mnnplnh.


Lebanon, Pa, July 29.-Frank Berry,
of South Annville township, this couu-
ty, met with a peculiar and horrible
death yesterday while fishing for Ger
man carp in the Quittapohilla creek,
near his home. Although almost blown
to pieces and horribly mangled, Berry
lived for two hours after the accident
Instead of using the regular fishing
tackle, Berry decided to use dynamite
and carried with him to the stream
a quantity Of the explosive ip tin
can. Arriving at spot along the
creek some distance from his home he
lighted the fuse attached to the dyna-
mite, and held the can in his hand,
resting It on his right leg. He intend
ed to toss the can into the water before
It would explode, but the result showed
that he made a miscalculation, as the
charge exploded while 1t was held in his
hand. His right hand was torn off,
the right leg crushed from hip to knee
in a shapeless mass and he sustained
other injuries. Berry was q years old,
and leaves a wife and one child.

been condemned, that the company was will
ing to reimburse the borough to
that extent and after putting the

Down Comes the Price
On Wool Bunting U. S. Flags.

Those who ioolishly thought
they were securing a bargain in buying the
supposedly cheap "cotton' bunting flags are
now regreting their action, as they view the
scarcely visible colors in their flags as they
are suspended overhead. By investing few
dollars more they could now have a flag that
always looks clean and bright in colors. Our
wool flags have proved their superiority over
"coton" goods We have again reduced
our price on wool bunting flags down to a
close second in price Of the "coton" flags.
We manufacture our wool flags, and can

POOR FARM INVESTIGATION.
state Board of Charities Takes the
Matter Up-Yesterday's Proceedings.

The committee on county institutions of
the State Board of Charities met yesterday
afternoon at the Statehouse to investigate
the condition of the Marion County Poor
Asylum. Commissioners McGregor. Harding
and Greer were in attendance, and gave tes-
timony of a character calculated to clear
them of all completely in any mismanage-
ment of the Poor Farm. Commissioner
Greer, after being sworn said that one com
missioner had as much to say as any of the
others in the supervision of the affairs of
the institution, and generally visited the
Poor Farm from three to six times a year.
The supplies were purchased, he said, only on
requisition passed on by all of the commits
sioners. The purchase of supplies was made
as much as possible from merchants of both
political parties. The only things that bids
were ever received on were for meat and
flour, as the institution generally raised all
the vegetables 1t required. All the commits
sioners said that none of them had ever
supplies, except an occasional cigar. Sew
eral witnesses were examined during the
afternoon, but none of them offered any les
timony of value, except Mrs. e. c. Andrews.
of Tacoma street, who said that she had
visited the institution to see a sick man in
whom her family was interested from a
philanthropic standpoint and on her arrival
home had found vermin in her coat, which
she laid on the bed of the sick man while
talking to him. All of the commissioners
said they had never heard of this condition
until yesterday afternoon from Mrs. An

Pingree Did Not Advertise His Anti
ImperiaIist Enough.


DETROIT, Dec 27.-Rev. S. r. Fuller, of
Boston, spoke against so-called imperialism
before small audience at the Light Guard
introducing Rev. Fuller took occasion to
express his opposition to both the late war
and expansion. He deplored the necessity of
sending American young men to the Phil
ippines and said Each one should carry
a coffin upon his shoulder when he goes 4"
Rev. Fuller. who spoke eloquently and with
force, said that in the expansion of a coun-
try two great principles must be adhered to-,
individual independence and adaptability of
the people to be Incorporated in the coun-
try He could not see that tine establish
ment of sovereignty over the Philippines
would bring to this country any prosperity.
In attacking the imperialistie policy from
the standpoint of taxation, Rev. Fuller
averred that for every dollar taken out of
the Philippines twenty would be taken from
the people of this country. Referring to the
agitation in some quarters of late for the
revision of the Constitution of the United
States Mr.. Fuller said that the masses We're
not asking for it, but the classes were. he
argued that all workingmen knew that a
revision would mean a curtailing of their
liberties.
Replying to- President McKinley's ques-
ton in several of his late speeches. "who
will haul the flag down. Fuller said Mr.
Mckinley must be careful lest the admins
tration hand of the United States, his own
does not haul it down. Whoever changes
the character of the flag thereby hauIs it
down, and the character will be changed so
soon as it flies over a subject people, The
smallness of the audience which greeted Mr.
ruler was PROBABLY accounted for by the
short time in which to advertise the meet
ing
