GOVERNOR STONE ISAUGgR
ATED

Governor Stone was inaugurated
yesterday at Harrisburg. The day
was fine. The crowd was as large
as any that had ever crowded into
the State Capitol town. The en-.
thusiasm was great. The parade
was a delight to the eye, and the
ceremony of inducing the new
governor into Office was impressive
Justice Williams of the Supreme
Court administered the oath o;
office, in the presence of the mem
bers of both houses of the Legisia-
ture, State officials and citizens of
the commonwealth.
His address was listened to with
marked attention and highly ap-
proved.
He expressed a sense of the pres
sure of the responsibility of the
position of governor of this great
commonwealth. His purpose he
said, is to discharge honestly and
fearlessly his whole duty to the
people of Pennsylvania, but he
feels that he can do nothing with
out the cooperation of the repre-
sentatives OF the people. The
State is more in need of a business
administration than political one.
He disapproves of the appropria
ton of more money than the in
come of the State warrants, that
is the reason the State is now in
debted to school districts and
counties and normal schools over
three and half million dollars.
He cannot approve and Justify
appropriations that exceed the
income of the State. We should
be liberal, but our liberality should
be limited to our income. We
must either increase our revenue,
reduce our expenditures or borrow
money considering the present
conditions. We have gone about
as far as we can safely go with the
present subject of taxation. The
income for the present year is not
expected to exceed $11 ,6S7 1928 so.
Appropriations A can not safely be
made beyond that amount. The
estimated expenditures of the
State by the Treasurer, up to
November 30, 1899, is S16, 164, l6S. :
81. That includes school funds
and asylums and charitable insti-
tutiOnS.
He is in favor of all the tax on
money going into the State treasury
instead of three fourths of it going
into the County treasures. Rather

A MILD HAMMERED PIRATE
An Ex-ClerIs Who Joined the Fierce Sc,
Rovers OF the Spanish Main.

An Ex-ClerIs Who Joined the Fierce Sc,
Kovers OF the Spanish Main.
"The Buccaneers Of Our Coast" is b,
title of a series of narrative sketche:
that Frank r. Stockton is writing fol
ST. Nicholas. In speaking of John E.s
| quemeling, who joined the buocaneer:
and became their historian, Mr.. Stock.
ton says:
1t must have been a strange thing for
a man accustomed to pens and ink, to
yardsticks and scales, to offer to enroll
bearded pirates, but q man must eat,
and buccaneering was the only profes-
sion open to our ex-clerls For some rea
son or other, certainly not on account of
his bravery and daring, Esquemelins
was very well received by tho pirates Of
Tortuga. Perhaps they liked him be-
cause he was mild hammered man and
60 different from themselves.
AS fer Esquemeling himself, he soon
came to entertain the highest opinions
of his pirate companions. He looked
upon the buccaneers who had distin-
guished themselves as great heroes, and
it must have been extremely gratifying
to those savage fellows to tell Esque-
r}elig &ll4f.hs XG2derfpl thi2gs they
sad cone. k,l0hemeiing mighss<>
earned a salary as a listener. 10
1t was not long before his intense ad-
miration of the buccaneers and their per-
formGnces began to produce in him the
feeling that these great exploits should
net be lost to the world, and SO he set
about writing their lives and adventures.
He remained with the pirates for sew
eral years and during that time worked
very industriously getting together ma
terial for his history. When he returned
to his own country in 1672, he there
completed q book which he called "The
buccaneers Of America; or, The True
Account of the Most Remarkable AS
sauits Committed Of Late Years Unon
the Coasts Of the West Indies by the
buccaneers, etc. BY John Esqueineiing,
One of the Buccaneers, Who Was Pres
ent at Those Tragedies.
From this title il is probable that in
the capacity Of reporter our literary pi-
rate accompanied his comrades on their
various voyages and assaults, and al.
though he states he was present at many
OF "those tragedies" lie makes 10 refer
ence to any deeds of valor or cruelty
performed by himself, which shows him
to have been wonderfully conscien-
tious historian. There are persona, how
ever, who doubt his impartiality, be-
cause, as he liked the French, he al
ways gave the pirates of that nationality
the credit for most Of the bravery dis
played Oil their expeditions, and all of
the magnanimity and courtesy, if there
happened to be any, while the surliness,
brutality and extraordinary wickedness
were all ascribed to the English.

The last ;wenty-four hours were very un-
fortunate In the way Of RAILROAD accidents
The one to the Rock Island train may not
have been worse than that which happened
to the Great Western train, but the story
Is so much more graphically told that ii
seems worse. One incident alone inspires
horror. A man was pinioned by his arm in
such a way that be could not be rescued
and al his request II was amputated with
common handsaw. He displayed the ut
most fortiiude while undergoing the opera
ton. and walked to an adjoining house, but
the poor fellow was living only on nerve
and died from sheer exhaustion His death
was no greater loss. perhaps, than that of
other passengers, but 1t was even more
pathetiq than that Of the man on his way
10 be married and who had the consider
a'eness and selr possession to tell the
attendants, with his dying breath, to tele-
graph his sweetheart tina, he had been
detained by wreck and could not keep
the appointment. There was heroism man
ifested by those two brave hearts which
makes men regret that death should come
to them In such hdeous form.

THE STREET CAR ACCIDENT.

Ii would not be fair to hazard the
for the accident on Grant street bridge
until proper investigation Is made. 1t
IL a shocking accident, and there is a
natural disposition on the part Of the
public to bring home to some person re-
sponsibility for the loss of life and the
still greater risk tina. was incurred. The
first impression is one Of amazement
that any OF the passengers on the street
car escaped with their lives The coll
iision between the locomotive and the
electric car was almost head on. While
this seems to be about the most dan
gerous collision. II would have been
much worse had the car been attempt
ing TO cross the line al right angles. II
accident in Minneapolis few years ago.
the car was caught directly athwart the
track and the locomotive ground the
car into pieces. on Grant street bridge
the locomotive thrust the car back, and
while II wounded and bruised all Of the
passengers their lives were saved.
The train could not have beer going
very fast or the car would have been
smashed 10 pieces. and the presumption
Is that the train was entitled to right
of-way. The explanation suggested by
those on the street car Is that the tracks
were slippery and the street car could
not be stopped In time. That Is the
most probable cause. 1t sometimes hap
pens that tracks cross In such a way
that an oncoming train or car cannot
be seen. but at the place where this ac-
ci7ent occurred there Is a full view. and
II is not credible that motorman would
deliberately run his car up 10 meet an
cneomIng locomotive, especially when
he is on the front end. A daring driver
might attempt 10 make a dash al RICH,
angles to cross a track. and this is very
frequently done: but no motorman
would think for a moment he could
drive up the track where IL crosses the
Northern Pacific with the expectation
az getting past the train in time.
There is good ordinance which re-
quires all cars 10 stop before a crossing
unless they have the ghf-of-way, With
out any specific provision. II would be
the part ~ prudence II assume that q
train. which must necessarily travel
faster and is less easily handled than n
s;ree, car. should have at all times ths.
right-0f-way. The presumption would
~ that the street car men observed this
rule. and that the car was for an unfor-
tunate wofrens beyond control.
