Could Not Find His Hand.

Elmer Potter, of Mauch Chunk, a
brakeman on the New Jersey Central
Railroad, met with a peculiar accident
in Phillipsburg yard Tuesday night.
Potter's train was wrecked, and Just as
he was about jumping he was caught
between the caboose and a coal car, and
his hand was cut off as clean as though
surgeon had used his knife upon it.
Potter fell to the ground, but did not
lose consciousness. He CROPPED around
in search Of the severed member, but
could not find it. Neither could his
fellow -trainmen and the yardmen, who
looked high and low. Potter was re-
moved to the Easton hospital, and, to
the wonder of all, word came from
Mauch Chunk a few hours later that
the hand had been found on the bump
er of coal car that had just arrived
there. .-. -aL l-9
A westbound coal train was passing
when Potter was caught between the
cars, and it supposed that his hand was
cut off with such force that it was
thrown upon the passing train.

Anthracite Coal Trade.

The anthracite coal companies have
issued orders to the mines restricting
the output 25 per cent. The cause
for this is the soft weather in the West,
where the supply of coal is now excess
sive. The eastern roads have turned
over to their western connections the
cars which the western lines are now
demanding demurrage on from con-
signees. In order to avoid these
charges the consignees are cutting
prices to dispose of their coal. In order
to prevent Generalization there, the
shipment of coal westward has stopped
and all of the production is going to the
seaboard.
There is an oversupply at tidewater,
and to prevent slashing of rates, orders
have been given to reduce the output.
The present cold snap is welcomed by
the anthracite companies as tending to
relieve what might in time become a
serious situation. r..

HAwAIIANS AS POLITICIANS.

Il want to tell you that there is no
more astute politician in any country
than the native Hawaiian" said Mr..
Godfrey Brown, a leading citizen of
Honolulu, to Post reporter at the Ar
lington. Some years ago | was secre-
tary of the Legislature of Hawaii, and
1t was my duty to call the list of mobiles
and representatives on every vote TAX
en- in that body. Among the represen-
tatives was shrewd old fellow whose
method was always to cast his vote on
the winning side. He made capital out
of this when he went home by point
ing to his record. and telling his con-
stituents they would do well to keep
in Office legislator that never cham
pioned losing measure. All bills that
he had advocated has been enacted into
law, and those which he had consider
ed undesirable had been defeated.
His crafty plan was in this wise
When the ayes and noes were called
on the passage of bill, his name be-
ing near the top of the list when his
name was reached, the response invari-
ably given would be 'kaualua' which
in the English would mean undecided.
After the list had been gone through
it was customary to call again the
names of those who had not voted.
When his name was read the second
time he would calmly inquire of the
secretary which side had the majority,
and on being informed that the ayes
had it, or the reverse, he would smil
ingly announce, Al malaila kaluna
Kaanaapli,' which being translated is:
There will be found the member for
