ENGINE NO. 9 EXPLODED.
D. S. & S. LOCOMOTIVE BLOWN UP
ON FRIDAY MORNING.

Was Being Used by the Lehigh Valley
Railroad When the Accident Occurred.
Two Men We're Killed and One Was
Injured-Considered n Safe Engine.
Engine No. 0, owned by the Della
ware, Susquehanna and Schuylkill Rail
road Company, was wrecked early
Friday morning on the Lehigh Valley
Railroad near Wyalusing, Bradford
county, killing a fireman and brakeman
instantly and seriously injuring an
engineer.
With three others, Engine No. was
borrowed about a month ago from the
Drifton company to help the Valley
people out during their unexpected fall
rush of freight. No. was pulling a
train of this class shortly after
o'clock on Friday morning. when it ex-
ploded.
The huge locomotive, which was
practically new machine, having been
rebuilt about five years ago after a
wreck on the Perth Amboy run, in
which it was demolished, was blown
completely to atoms. .....
The explosion instantly killed Fire
man Eugene Deegan and Brakeman
Warren Robinson. Engineer Daniel G.
Georgia was very seriously and perhaps
fatally injured.
Deegans body was blown into the
river and when recovered, about 7
o'clock, that morning, it was found that
his legs were nearly severed from the
body. He was unmarried and about 2s
years old.
Robinson's body was found about
forty feet from the track and his face
entirely blown off. He leaves q wife
and three children.
Engineer Georgia was taken to the
Packer hospital, at Sayre. He is suf-
fering with broken leg, dislocated
knee, fractured skull and many other
serious bruises.
No one knows the cause of the acc-
dent.

Will Almost Kill Kipling.
Philadelphia North American.

Philadelphia North American.
The soldiers of England are superior
to all other soldiers. They are incom-
parably dashing in the charge, as steady
as rocks under fire and possessed of a
kind of valor to which death is ever
preferable to defeat. That the British
soldier is far and away better than any
thing else that carries a gun the world
has known for many years, for genera
tions, indeed. The world has known it
on the authority of the British soldiers
countrymen, who excel the remainder
of mankind in modesty as conspicuously
as he excels it in pluck.
This is why the mercurial and boast
full Frenchman and the vain and self
lauding American are so dstasteful to
the Englishman, who has no absurd
illusions about himself, and therefore is
competent to correct the faults of his
foolish neighbors.
Had the British soldier been beaten
merely, England might have borne up
under the misfortune. BY sternly re-
ooiNihs W ehuule uisdsucr WIIn nlSn
fortitude unknown outside of Great
Britain, she would have been conscious
of eXtorting the envious admiration of
inferior races. But to have the British
soldier gobbled up-outgeneraled, out
fought and taken alive by the unbathed,
bearded Boer, who has not a drop of
English blood in his wretched veins,
that imposes the inescapable, the
,nauseous necessity of singing small.
The blow will almost kill Kipling.

Our Ever Untiring Efforts
To Do Better.

To give our patrons the biggest pos
sible values for their money, is the key
of our great success. We are not salts
fed to stand still, but are forever forg
ing ahead, forever trying TO make the
values bigger and the prices smaller.
We are continually securing the mar
kets for the very best of dependable
merchandise, and buying, as we do, in
immense quantities, we are enabled to
sell clothing as cheap as the average
merchant can buy.
This season we have been more active
than ever. Our grand array of Clothing
for Men, Boys and Children proves that
it is the greatest assortment that has
ever been shown to the purchasing pub
lie of this town. And we have been
farsighted enough to anticipate the ad-
vance all the clothing merchants are
complaining about and placed our
orders much earlier than usual. We
can, therefore, sell clothing at the old
prices, or make you suit or overcoat
cheaper than any other tailor in the
region.

Novel Tcncloths.

A pretty way of embroidering cloth
for afternoon tea is TO copy and adapt
AS far AS possible the pattern on the
cups and plates used and work it in the
right colors. OF course, some china is
very diL.cult to copy, but on some of
the old Crown Derby and Worcester
china the colors and designs are both
effective and good. The work looks best
ON a white ground, unless the china has
a very decided tone, when it is best to
get linen to correspond. Washing
silks or linen thread should be used.
Other novel teacloths have monogram

RATIFICATION OF THE TREATY

by one vote over the requisite
two-thirds, the Spanish treaty has
been ratified. No doubt the fight
ing at Manila caused enough votes
of the opposition to go over to the
majority to secure this result, the
thought being that an emergency
had arisen, rendering it necessary
to cut the Gordian knot and settle
the matter at once Thus Aguinal-
do and his advisers have by their
precipitant action defeated for the
time being their own hopes.
BY the ratification of the treaty
the Philippine islands have passed
into the possession of the United
States, and the war with Spain has
been brought to formal end. The
