THE LATE SENATOR MORRILL,.

THE LATE SENATOR MORRILL,.
in the senate chamber, but just when
cannot be now stated The remains OF
Mrs. Morrill,, who died during the pres

Creek cemetery, near this city, and 1t
may be that the senator's body Will be
deposited there pending removal to
STAFFORD, VI, where a mausoeum Is
now in course of construction.
For many years prior to his death
Justin Smith Morrill, had been known
as THE Father of the Senate" His
public life, though long, eventful and
creditable one, was In no wise brilliant.
His fame must rest upon the fact thai
his work was always marked by con-
scientiousness. Senator Morrill, was
consistent rather than meteoric
statesman. and his name in conse-
quence appeared in the newspapers
much less frequently than those of
many men of inferior ability who were
anxious to advertise themselves and
hesitated at few things which would
accomplish their purpose,
Justin Smith Morrill, was born In
Strafford, Orange county, VT, April IA,
1910. He received an ordinary educa-
ton in the schools of the neighborhood
When he was a young lad he went to
Portland, Me- and entered the employ
of the Messrs Fox, who owned a line
of vessels in which they sent American
products to the West Indies and
brought back the staples of the tropics
II was while with this firm that young

name became so closely asSoCiafed "a

JUMPED TO
HIS DEATH.
FOOlhardy Act of Mine IabOrer
Results Fatally.
A SPRING THAT COST HIS LIFE !
The Platform on Which He Landed Gave
way and the Unfortunate Man Was
Precipitated over Four Humid
red Feet Down slope.

Jacob Kelser, young Polish man residing
at Mahanoy City, met with horrible death
in tho Tunnel Ridge colliery at about nine
o'clock last night through a foolhardy act on
his own part
The victim was a laborer employed in
helping to timber the tender and pump slope
of the coliery. After building platform
upon which to stand while placing the sets Of
timber Kelser and another man were sent to
change the trucks ON the slope, and for that
purpose went to the top of the slope
On their return, and when the truck was
about FIVE feet from the platform, Kelser,
who was standing on the truck, said II can
jump that distance" He did so, but when
he landed upon the platform the planks broke
under the weight of his body and he went
down the slope distance of 40 yards. The
slope has pitch of 81 degrees.
Under the direction of William Tanner,
the foreman in charge of the timbering men
the slope. was descended and the body of the
victim recovered. 1t was found lying in the
ditch, and terribly mutilated. The force of
the fall was so great that the gum boots of
the unfortunate man was torn from his feet
and were found iu shreds near the body.
Kelser was 2S years old and unmarried
The remains were removed to the house at
which he boarded and friends will give them
burial

of very clever character were introduced,
Little Irene Meyers making great hit with
her songs and changes of costumes This
clever little actress has captivated the patrons
Of the theatre and they are enthusiastic in
their encores of her specialties. Miss Hattie
Chew also made hit with her rag time

duly appreciated. Tonight the company

Little Irene Meyers will assume an important
role entirely distinct from those in which she
has heretofore appeared.

A VETERAN
STATESMAN.
Death of Senator Justin S. Morrill,
of Vermont.
"FATHER OF THE SENATE"
He Quickly Succumbed to an Attack Of
Pneumonia.
HIS LONG SERVICE IN CONGRESS.

Had Served in the National Legislature For
Forty-four Years, Over Thirty-one of
Which Were Spent as a Member of the
Upper House-His Present Term Would
Not Have Expired Until reo3-The Ven.
erable Senator Was Confined to His
Home Only Seven Days by His Final
Illness.
Washington, Dec. 2S.-Hon. Justin s.
Morrill, the senior senator from Ver-
mont, died at 1925 o'clock this morning.
in the seth year of his age, after an
Illness of less than a week With him
when the end came were his sister-in-
law, Miss Louise Swan, his son James
Mr.. Benjamin Durfee, for a long time
associated with the senator in the
finance committee work at the Cap
itol, and Colonel S. e. Chamberlain, an
intimate friend. Senator Proctor was
in the house at the time as were also
several other friends. The senator
never recovered from the unconscious
state into which he lapsed early in the
day, and his death was calm and peace
full,
The immediate cause of death was
pneumonia, which developed from an
attack of grip contracted about a week
ago. The venerable senator was con-
fined to his home but seven days. De-
spite his advanced age, he attended
to his senatorial duties faithfully, and
regularly went to the Capitol. About
ten days ago the weather here was
cold, raw and foggy and his physician
thinks that exposure to its rlgors
brought on the attack of grip. The day
before congress adjourned for the
Christmas holidays the senator was
unable to leave his residence. He grew
no better as the days went on, his low
vitality, due to advanced age, being
unable to resist the disease. On Christ
mas night it developed into pneumonia,
and from that time until the end he
sank steadily
No definite funeral arrangements
have yet been made. 1t is altogether
likely that public services will be held

years Of Senator Edmunds, for whom

service had been continuous, covering
