William Seymour and his two sisters of
Sheppton, met with an accident while driv-
ing in town this morning through sheer
ignorance and reGklessness on the part of a
Polish young man who was in charge of a
wagon loaded with lumber Seymour and
his sisters were in buggy and were at about
the center of the intersection of Jardin and
Centre streets, driving south, when the Pole,
who was going west, drove to the rear Of the
buggy and collision followed, the buggy
being upset and the occupants thrown out.
The horse was about to run away when some
bystanders fastened to the spot and held the
animal in check Seymour and his sisters
escaped injury, but were covered with mud
and the top of the buggy was wrecked. The
Pole, whose ignorance caused the accident,
never stopped his horses, but drove on with
out bOthering himself as TO the results of the
collision. Seymour followed the lumber
team and finally overlook it. The driver
refused to give any satisfaction and a war
rant for his arrest was sworn out before
Justice Shoemaker. The affair occasioned
indignation and more than one man in the
crowd felt like giving the Polander a thrash
ing. The driver of the team was Robert
Risewicz of the First ward. He was after
wards ARRESTED and taken before Justice
Shoemaker where he waived a hearing and
entered $4OO bail for his appearance at court.

der Lump sum in Cash.

Warrington, November 1S.--The two new
points laid down by the Spanish peace com
missioners in the answer presented by them
at Wednesdays session of the joint COM
missions will not be permitted to change
the attitude of the United States commits
sioners. These points were in substance
that the Spaniards could not permit any
question to be raised as to the authority
of the Spanish government TO pledge the
resources of the Philippines TO meet the
Philippine loan and that they could not
permit an accounting OF the method in
which the proceeds OF this loan had been
expended.
There is reason to believe that the Span
ish purpose is TO conceal enormous de-
faicationS by the Spanish officials who have
governed the Philippines since the issue
of the loar- The ostensible purpose is to be
able to plead inability to state what the
pacific expenditures have been on ac-
count of the Philippines, which was all
that the United States proposed to REIN
burse them for.
Our government, however, in anticipa-
ticn OF such evasion has prepared the
American commissioners With Instructions
which exactly meet this case They knew
approximately just about the value of the
betterments in the philippines, having as
certained this from private but thoroughly
reliable sources. Knowing this they can
afford to ignore entirely the efforts of tho
Spaniards TO becloud the facts and will
adept the simple expedient of pioffering
lump sum, as many million dollars Us 1t
is deemed fair and just TO tender for the
Spanish properties, requiring and tender
ing no statement or calculation with a
basis for nhe offer. Thus there will be
avoided the danger of long wrangle over
complex statements of figures and the
issue will be made with perfect clearness
1T is believed that the Spanish commits
sioners finally will accept this offer
though it is fully expected that once the
commission reaches the point of naming
sums Of money and has left behind all OF
the irrelevant discussion touching sover-
eighty the Spanish commissioners may
make a determined effort to secure u lar
ger allowance taan the president has sane
toned Judging however, by the conduct
OF the American commissioners I'D to this
Ioint there will be very little latitude al
lowed the Spaniards in This matter and 1t
is believed that they have come to appre-
clate the fact that the American PROPOSE
ton in the end rs just about what 1t was
at the beginning and that the American
diplomacy is straightforward at all points.
