tried by the commonwealth as
witness against James A. Clemmer,
who is on trial at Norristown charg-

demned murderer on the witness
stand to testify against his alleged
accomplice. Kaiser was brougut

Baltzer T. Laycock died at his resi-
dence in Wyoming at 4:45 O'Clock

demise, was sustained on the Ist inst,

severe suffering.
Mr.. Lsycock was born on Sept. IS,
1899, near Splingtown, Warren

this time he contracted rheumatism,
with which he suffered more or less
since. The past five years he sustain
ed four strokes OF paralysis, the last
rendering him entirely helpless. The
deceased was postmaster at Wyoming
during Harrison's admins tration. He
was always patriotic.
Mr.. 1.aycock was a cousin of Col.

ing. He has made his residence in
Wyoming the past twelve years. His

Fight Over the Judgeship.

There is very bitter fight in Col
umbia and Montour counties over the
President Judgeship. The term of
Judge Ikeler expires this year, and he
is candidate for reelection. Robert
Little, of Bloomsbury, is also candi-
date and has carried Columbia county
by thousand majority. Ikeler has
carried Montour county, which makes
a deadlock In the caucus, and the
chances are that neither one can be
nominated, and if either name goes
on the ticket, the tight has grown so
bitter that the Republican candidate,
whoever he may be, will be elected.
Under these circumstances the
politicians are looking around for a
new candidate. Judge Sitser, OF
Wyoming county, and Judge Bucher,
of Lewisburg, are being talked about
as compromise candidates. The
chances are that the Democratic
candidate will be taken from outside
the Observation-Disclosures Count,
Democrat.

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.

The Annual Convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, in the
Diocese of Central Pennsylvania, was
held in Altoona last week, Tues,
day and Wednesday. Service was
held in St. Luke's Church on Tues
day evening at O'Clock, and Bishop
Talbot delivered his address, which
was listened to attentively by the
large congregation present. Excel
lent music was rendered by the vested
male choir. The procession started
from the Parish House. adjoining the
church, and was composed of the
choir, the standing committee, the lay
deputies, the clergy in vestments, and
the Bishop. Fifty clergymen and 'fif-
ty-two lay deputies were present. AT
ter service the convention assembled
in Library Hall, in the Logan House.
The Bishop presided, and conducted
the business with promptness and
marked executive ability. Lieut..
Col. C.. M. Clement, of Sunbury, was
reelected secretary. He is stationed
at Camp Alger with his regiment, the
I2th, and came on furlough for the
purpose of attending the convention.
Col. G. Freeze was re elected chan
cellor of the Diocese, position that
he has we'll filled for many years.
A large amount of business was
transacted, among which was the ap-
pointment of committee to report
on division of the Diocese. Wilkes
Barre was selected as the place for the
convention next May.
On Wednesday evening a recep-
tion was given at the residence of Mr..
Shepherd, for Bishop and Mrs. Tai
bot and daughter, which was attended
by large number.
Altoona is city of about 10000
inhabitants. The immense shops of
the Pennsylvania Railroad give en-
ployment to 5000 men. Among the
residents whom it was our pleasure
to meet, were Mrs. Lewis, formerly
Miss Rose Vannatta, and Mrs. Ew
ing, formerly Miss Alice Smith, and
both former residents of Bloomsbury.

Costly Oablegrams,

Sixteen thousand dollars is said to
be the record price paid Tor cable
gram, that price having been paid for
a message sent by Henniker Heaton
to Australia in behalf of the British
Parliament. Reuters account of the
murderer Deeming's trial, 1000 words,
cost $4,000. An ISoo-word dispatch
from London to Argentina cost
$500. The most expensive private
message so far is that sent by the
King of Italy to the Duke of AbruzzI
at Rio Janeiro, informing him of the
death Of his father, the late Duke OF
Aosta, which cost $267o.

everybody. His arrangements for
gathering and publishing the re-

cording to Mr.. McHenry the full
measure of praise due him for his
faithful performance of his official

KILLED IN A WRECK.

The following account of wreck
in which two lives were lost and
several Others wounded is clipped
from the Philadelphia Press. Char
les Elmer, one of the dead was
son of Ellis Elmer, who it will be
remembered was killed by an acci-
dental discharge of a gun while
out hunting above Millville last
winter. 1t says:
"At the point where the accident
occurred the Central and Lehigh
Valley tracks ruin parallel to each
other, but the Valley tracks are
elevated 7 feet above those of the
Central. Passenger trains were rum
ming south on both roads at about
the same speed when the accident
occurred. AT Penn Haven Junction
a Central train stopped and the
Valley train ran ahead. Later, how
ever, the Central caught up and
maintained the lead. What caused
the accident is not known. Either
the rails spread or else the engine
broke. Whatever the cause the
train suddenly left the track. The
engine ran against the wall upon
which the Valley tracks are laid.
Engine and the baggage car were
instantly mass of splinters.
The smoking car rolled down
the embankment into the river.
There were twenty passengers in
the other coaches, which remained
on the track. When the engine ran
against the wall Engineer McHale
was tossed out and landed OH the
Valley tracks; at this moment the
Valley train came along and cut off
a leg. He was also badly cut other
wise and was killed. The body of
the newsboy Elmer was also found
on the same track, but whether he
was struck by the Valley train is
not known.
Baggagemaster Taylor is badly
injured about the head. Fireman
Yeomans was taken to his home at
Easton on the train which passes
Mauch Chunk at 7.3o, and was un-
conscious. In the smoking car,
which went down the embankment
into the river, were many passen-
gers. Fortunately the river at this
point is very shallow, and all sue
ceeded in getting out safely. Harry
Fuller, of Mauch Chunk, who was
in the smoker, was injurrd at the
arms. The car took a complete |
turn and landed with wheels down
in the river. The roof was torn off. |
Fuller says he found his hat hang
ing on the gas jet.
Roeder and Smith are both
severely injured abont the shoulders
and arms, and Meyer at the hands
and legs. Two brakemen were bad
ly cut and bruised all over the
bodies. Conductor Heath was bad
ly cut. The rest of the passengers
were slightly injured. Debris was
scattered all over the Valley tracts,
and the train which came along
plunged through it successfully.
