Bridge Goes Down.

ParU OF tne pennsylvania hallrOau
bridge crossing Lycoming Creek be-
tween Williamsport and Newberry
collapsed at $50 o'clock last Sunday
morning, and locomotive and nine
cars were plunged into the stream,
which was swollen to unusual proper
ions by the heavy rains of Saturday.
Three of the train crew went down
with the engine and cars and met
death in the waters. The dead are:-
JOHN MARTz, engineer, of Sunbury.
FREDERICK GLASS, fireman, of Sun
bury.
GEORGE HARLEY, brakeman, of Sun
bury.
The train was fast freight No. S3,
known as the "Oyster Express" west
bound, from Baltimore. 1t consisted of
twenty cars, all heavily loaded. 1t was
speeding along at about twenty-five
miles an hour when the accident occur
red. AS the engine glided over the rails
onto the bridge there was sudden,
sharp crash, a downward plunge and
the locomotive was buried in twenty
feet of water. Nine cars followed the
engine into the stream and then the
airbrakes set, bringing the remainder
of the cars to a stop and saving the
lives of the other three members of the
crew, who were in the caboose.
The wrecked bridge was four-span,
iron girder structure, constructed only
few years ago and considered one of
the strongest on the road. The accident
is supposed to have been caused by
the water in the swollen stream un-
dermining one of the piers on which
rested the two eastern spans of the
bridge.
At6 o'clock Sunday morning William
Berger, 16-year-old boy living in the
western part Of the city, took lantern
and walked up the railroad track to-
ward the creek to ascertain the height
Of the water. Nearing the bridge he
thought he saw water covering the
tracks and started to return. On his
way back he heard the fast freight APP
preaching and waved his lantern in an
effort to flag the train. The warning
was unnoticed, and asecond later there
came crash as two spans of the bridge
went down.
The engineer, fireman and Brake
man Harley were in the cab of the en-
gine which lies hidden from sight under
! twenty feet of water.

One of the brightest comedies vet pre-
scented by the Criterion Stock Icomuanv

at the Metropolitan theater last even

the Crimean war was the particular DIFF
ficulty in which "Our Regiment was
concerned. There was just enough of the
military for humor, and the audience was
not obliged to witness any scenes of car
mage, the nearest approach to an en-
gagement other than those told about
being the sound of the bugle call and the
sight of a number of relocated soldiers
going to war. The third act was very
comforting, the scene being in hut in

POLITICS OF THE STATE

Gov. Van SAINT would be justified in call
ing the Republican state press bureau to
task for its invariable attempt at paIliat-
ing his foibles. Scarcely does an effusion
leave the Office of "this'' inspired writer,
but that it contains some apology for
this or that" in the governors adj
ministration. Although there is some
dfsparagement of Van SAINT yet
we believe etc, is the usual form of
apology. In the hundreds of country pa
pers which give their editorial columns
to the use of these ready-mades, can be
found in recent issues a concluding para
graph to a column article in which the
words quoted are used.
This column, like all others from the
same source, is an attack upon Gov.
Limo, condemnation of his able and hon
est administration and a decentralization of
the men who aided him to give the state
the best administration it has ever had
The article lays bare in the most OBJ
Vious manner that prevailing horror

think of the possibility of again having

very least calculation 1900, the Republic
ans are beginning their work early and
are at it hard. If mud-slinging. vituper-
alton and denunciation are elements of
success, then certainly the press bu-
reau is feeding it's parasites upon the
right sort of diet. But the calm, consid-
crate, thinking man, whether he be Re
publican or Democrat, asks for something
more than this character of campaign
argument. But probably it's well
enough for the little press bureau to go
ahead with its jangle, for the writer has
to be kept in position and the country
papers have to get their editorial COL
umns fiEed-and incidentally the Republic
ans have to do something to stop the
inevitable tide that is drifting against
them, and this is about as harmless an
indulgence as could be chosen. The vot-

iG'P
NEW, PLAN PROPOSED
To the Editor of the Globe:

To the Editor of the Globe:
In connection with your discussion of
the subject liberalism and Democ-
racy, kindly permit me to call atten-
ton to the platform which 1 proposed
in the communication published in your
issue of July Is.
L cannot concur in your discrimination
between the leaders of the Democratic
party and the party itself. / think the
party determined the action of the lead
ers; that is that the LADDERS became such
simply and solely through espousing and
advocating the views of tne mass of the
party. And applying this view to your
remarks, think you are cerainly very
correct in your criticism of the party, in
reference to it's Civil war attitude, and in
reference to it's course during the past
i've years. You are certainly correct
also in saying: when it has dropped
down to mere negatiOn, having no well
defined attitude, save one of opposition
to the administration" it has forfeited
its hold on popular regard" And especial
ly' also, in saying: Just as soon as it
SHOWS the masses that it has a well defin-
co programme Worry of acceptance by an
enlightened nation, and promotive at
once of the rights of the individual
ana the dignity and honor of the nation"
II VIII be accepted as the party of the
people"
1901
fully or even partially constitute such
a well defined programme as you des-
ignate. But is it so entirely devoid of
merit as to be wholly unworthy of second
thought?
L do not see how the best in such things
can be attained without such consid-
Grafton and discussion oy many. And
this suggests to my mind that it would be
good plan for each convention to APP
point committee to propose platforms
for consideration at the next convention,
their conclusions to be published say an
nually during the intervals between con-
ventions for consideration and discussion
by the public. And as a beginning, exist
ing party committees could appoint such
platform committees to act until such
appointments can be made by the next
convention, thus inaugurating the sys-
tenn at once. w r. Stokes.

BAND of ARMED NEGROES
TRIGHTENS MISSISSIPPI TOWN.

CLEVELAND, Miss, July 21-This
morning at 1870 o'clock a band of armed
negroes, none of whom were known
rode into Cleveland, and, stopping
party of three white men on the main
street made threatening demonstrations
Being called upon to give their names
they answered by bringing their rifles
into play. One of the negroes was killed
on the spot, another was wounded and
is reported to have been found this morn
ing on the outskirts of the town, and the
others escaped although it is supposed
that more than three was hurt. They
were armed with Winchester rifles and
were well mounted.
Excitement was at fever heat during
the remainder of the night Squads OF
armed men patrolled the streets until
daylight
The trouble grew out of the lynching Of
. Jesse Phillips in the earlier part of the
night. The negroes in this section are
organized into '1odges, secret orders, -
protective societies.. and such, and as
Phillips was a leader among them it
was feared that an attempt would be
made to avenge his death

of young Reed was L studied scheme
