Narrow Escape Prom Death.


Albert Tilbury was badly injured
on Saturday, sustaining two painful
fractures of the left leg, one above
and the other below the knee, but
when the circumstances under which
the accident occurred are considered
it is almost impossible to see how he
escaped instant death. He was one
of number of workmen engaged in
getting out building stone at the
Chrisman Quarry in Hemlock Twp.
A driver OF one of the teams, William
Bauman, was inexperienced and
wholly unfamiliar with the road, and
it was thought best to assist him down
the hill. Mr.. Tilbury volunteered,
and mounting the wagon endeavored
to apply the brake. Try as he would
he could do but little toward retard-
ing the motion of the wagon. Had
the road been straight, probably moth
ing would have happened. but in
rounding the curve, the wheels of the
wagon slid to the very edge of the
road and its great weight carried it
down over the embankment a dis
tance of fifteen feet. In going down
the vehicle was completely overturn-
ed. Bauman, realizing the great
peril, jumped and escaped, but Til
bury clung to the wagon. DR.. John
was sent for, and afte, medical atten-
'tion was given him the injured man
was removed to his home on Cath
arine street. The horses were only
slightly scratched.

ELECTION DAY IN TOWN.

There was little interest and abso-
lutely no enthusiasm displayed in
Bloomsbury on Tuesday. The polls
opened at seven o'clock. AT each
Of the four voting places in the earlier
hours of the day, there was an ap-
parent feeling of unconcern and the
apathetic conditions increased as the
day advanced. The vote throughout
was very light, even for an off year.
This can be accounted for perhaps by
the fact that there was little or no
effort made by either party to obtain
the suffrage of the voters. The bal
lots were no, scratched to any very
great extent and this together with
the lightness of the vote made 1t
rather easy for the election officers,
who we're able to complete their work
in a short time after the polls closed.
The vote in town resulted as follows:

New York, June 21.-Henry C. Frick
has become interested in scientific
projects through his son, and when he
sailed on the Oceanic with his family
it was for a scientific object. In his
new role he becomes a patron of the
Carnegie museum in Pittsburg.
The plan which he is backing is to
be carried out by his son, Childs Frick,
1S years old, and Frederick S. Web
ster, head of the department of tax
idermy of the Carnegie museum, who
also sailed on the Oceanic. Young
Frick and Mr.. Webster will remain
abroad three months.
During the first two months they
will visit noted museums in Europe,
paying special attention to the British
museum in London and the Imperial
museum at Berlin, to secure new ideas
to be put into practice at the Carnegie
institution. The third month Childs
Frick and Mr.. Webster will spend
looking for game in Scotland. In the
interests of the Carnegie museum H.
G. Frick has secured hunting privi-
leges in several Of the best preserves
in that country. There such speci-
mems will be procured as cannot be
found in the Pittsburg museum.

Washington, June 21.-Acting under
the authority of the act OF congress
approved June 6, 1900, and Ia notice
issued Jointly by the secretary of the
treasury, the acting attorney general
and the secretary Of the interior, the
governments interest in the Sioux
City and Pacific railroad company was
sold at auction during the day to the
Chicago and Northwestern Railway
company for $2,112, 900, this being the
upset price fixed by the government,
and including a credit Of s250, 900 due
the company for mail transportation.
etc. The larger amount was paid in
cash. Some time ago the commission
appointed to estimate the value OF
the road, fixed the amount at So, ,500,-
900. OF this total, there were prior
liens amounting to $1,62S,000, which
would leave the value Of the govern
ment's claim, s1,s72;0OO, which, with
the credit of s250,00o, makes the
amount realized. The total amount
of the governments claim, however,
was s$1,628,320, in principal, and ST.
$685. ,269, in interest, making a total OF
salsa, ,5S9. According to the value of
the road as estimated by experts, no
amount greater than the price brought
| could be realized, hence the upset
| price was fixed at that figure. The in
| debtedness grew out of the issuance
of bonds by the United States to the
railroad company under the acts OF

The sugar crop figures for this sea-
son are encouraging enough. In round
numbers the production is fixed at
100000 tons, and this has brought not
far from s3O,OOO,0 900. The payment
for the crop has helped to reduce the
unfavorable trade balance against the
island. While the price has been fair,
had It been q shade higher the pro
duction would have reached 650,000
tons; but many Of the planters pre-
ferred not to grind, believing that
prices will be a little better next year.
The cane acreage for the coming sea

much OF the new lands which are
being planted In the eastern end of
the island in the belief that tariff con

.&5 San Francisco, June 21.-J. g:
Stubbs, vice president$of the Southern
Pacific, whose appointment as traffic
manager Of the vast systems con-
trolled by the Hartman interests, as
announced from Chicago, has arrived
in this city. In speaking of the In
novation to be introduced in railroad
methods by the creation of the posi-
tion to which he has just been ap-
pointed, Mr.. Stubbs explained the
matter by saying that Mr.. Hartman
had been considering for some time
the feasibility and practicabiIity OF
divorcing the traffic Of the lines he is
interested in from the other affairs
Of the road. He has talked over the
scheme with other gentlemen who
helped to frame the policy and direct
the fortunes Of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific and has evolved a
plan which, in Harriman's opinion,
ought to accomplish the heretofore
impossible task of harmonizing the
interests Of the several Hartman
roads. AS Mr.. Stubbs puts it, it is a
plan to bring about unifcation of
interests with reduction Of friction,
| and the elimination of unnecessary
competition without consolidating the
| properties under one management.
| Under this plan one man is to have
entire charge of the traffic of the
| several corporations and in order ef-
fectually to divorce the traffic from
| the other affairs of the road, this off,
cial will report directly to the board.
This position of power and RESPONSE
bility, comparable to no other in the
history of railroading, was offered to
Mr.. Stubbs and he accepted. The plan
is an absolutely new one in railroad
ling. Mr.. Stubs does not even know
what title will be bestowed upon him
Mr.. Stubbs said that when he left
Chicago plan was being perfected to
place the traffic of the Northern Pa,
cif1c, the Great Northern and the Bur.
lington in the hands of Darius Miller
at present second vice president of the
Great Northern, and that there would
in all probability, be brought about q
centraliZation of the management ci
the Gould lines, including the Mis-
souri, Pacific, the Texas and Rit
Grande lines Mr.. Stubbs will leave
here early in July for Chicago anf
enter upon the duties of his new po
sition. +M
