a Fatal Accident.

Last Friday afternoon about 2 p.
m. as Allen e. Hammers was riding
a wheel in this town, when turning
the corner at Ann and Broad streets
he in some manner lost coutrol of it
and ran into a telephone pole. He
was thrown off striking his head on
a small stone and rendered uncon-
cious. He was carried into the resi-
dence Of Mrs. Poillon but afterwards
revived somewhat and was subse-
quently taken to the Farmers hotel
where it was determined that he had
sustained fracture of the skull. He
was then conveyed to the Port Jervis
hospital, arriving there about II
p. m. but almost Immediately and
before the surgeons, who hastily pre-
pared to operate, could do so, he died.
Deceased was a son of James c.
and Elizabeth Drake Hammers of Del
aware township and was born April
80, 1853, in Dlngman township.
He has always resided in this vicinity
and for the past two or more years
has made his home With his parents,
upon whom this unfortunate bereave-
ment falls with especial sorrow. He
was of kindly disposition and won
many friends among his associates.
Deceased was married some years ago
and has a wife and two children, from
whom he has been separated several
years, residing in Newark. He is
also survived by his aged parents,
five brothers, John, Charles, William
and James, all of Delaware, Frank
of New York, and three sisters,
Mary, wife Of August Mercier,
Bertha, wife Of Mr.. O'Donnell Of
New York and Emma. The funeral
was held last Monday and interment

aslsine Bills out of committes.


A short time ago Senator Quay
made a motion that the committee
on territories be discharged from the
further consideration of the bill for
admitting to statehood the territories
Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico,
and that the senate proceed to the
consideration of the BILL This bill
/ passed the house last spring and has
been in the hands of the senate com
mittee without action for about two
months. Objection being made, Mr..
Quay intimated that he should feel
it his duty to refuse unanimous con-
sent to the consideration Of any
measure until his motion was dis
posed Of The question was finally
settled by an agreement that the bill
should be reported on December 10th
and that the report should be unin-
ished business until disposed of.
This does not imply that the bill
will be passed. The probability is
that the report will be unfavorable
and will remain unfinished business
until the adjournment Of congress
March 4, 1903.
Since The senior Pennsylvania
senator can thus force report on a
bill held up in committee there is
another matter in which his influence
should be promptly exercised. A
resolution proposing an amendment
to the federal constitution providing
for the election Of United States SEN
ators by the people passed the house
some time ago but has since been
pigeon-holed blythe senate commit
tee. If Senator Quay can secure
report on this resolution he will have
done the country a far greater SER
vice than he has done it in the matter
of the omnibus statehood bill.
The reasons why he should do this
are quite as cogent as those for his
action on the statehood bill. In 1900
Senator Quay's state convention
adopted resolution in favor of such
an amendment, and instructing the
state delegates to the national con-
-Yention to offer and support such
resolution appears to have been offer
ed but it fell down in committee and
never regained its feet. In the ses-
sion Of 1901 Quays legislature passed
a joint resolution favoring the adop-
tion Of an amendment providing for
the election of senators by the people
and joining other states in calling
convention in accordance with the
federal constitution for the pur-
pose of proposing it. 1t further
appointed a committee to confer with
congress and the legislatures Of the
other states with the object of secur-
ing such an amendment. Both
measures were approved by Governor
Stone.
If Senator Quay has any regard for
the mandates of his convention and
Of his Legislature he should at once
apply the tactics employed in dealing
with the statehood bill to the amend
ment providing for the election of
United States senators by the people.
Such an amendment has far greater
merit than the scheme for giving
to three new states with population
less than million equal power in the
senate with the states of New York,
Pennsylvania and Illinois, with a
population of more than eighteen
million. n.-HOnesdal Citizen.

A Sustaining Diet.

These are the enervating days,
when, as somebody has said, men
drop by the sunstroke as if the Day
of Five had dawned. They are
fraught with danger to people
whose systems are poorly sustained ;
and this leads us to say, in the in
terest of the less robust of our read
ers, that the full effect of Hood 8
Sarsaparilla is lsuch as to suggest
the propriety of calling this medi-
cine something besides a blood puri-
fer and tonic, say, a sustaining
diet. It makes it much easier to
bear the heat, assures refreshing
sleep, and will without any doubt
avert much sickness at this time of
year.

Advices received at the state de-
partment indicate that the negotia-
tions now being conducted at Rome
by Cover or Taft are progressing at
a satisfactory pace Confronted by
the difficult problem of supplying
priests to minister to the large num-
ber of members of hls church when
the friars shall have left the islands
the pope desired to retain there all
of those against whom no charge of
malfeasance in office had been
brought, but Governor Taft, believ-
ing it to be necessary as a proof to
the Filipinos that there will be no
further connection between church
and state and as a further evidence
that the present government is in
no way in sympathy with the hated
Spanish domination with which the
friars were associated, has advised
the pope that all those friars who
have left their parishes and all those
in the city of Manila shall be re-
moved from the islands. The en-
tire reasonableness with which the
Vatican has received the represent
ations heretofore made by Governor
Taft warrants the assumption that
ultimately the negotiations will end
in a manner satisfactory TO all con-
cerned and the purchase of the
friars' lands and their being opened
up to settlement will mark the be-
ginning of an era of small land
holdings in the Philippines which
will, it is safe to presume, result as
benefcially as did the passage Of the
Homestead law in the United States.

Enthusiastic and heartfelt rs was

in this country this year there is
reason to believe that it was even
more so in the Philippine islands
where tor the first time the great
day was really celebrated by all the
people in recognition Of the accom-
plishment of that liberty for which
they struggled in vain for 50 many
years. By a happy combination Of
circumstance and direction the
Fourth of July saw the last of mill
tary rule in the islands and the in
auguration Of civil government.

There has not been a time in the last
ten years when prospects were, SO good
for real estate as at present. Our city
is on safe footing, and property brought
at present prices must do we'll Every in
dication goes to show that we are now in
q healthy condition as a city. While the
speculative value is not great, it is in
creasing daily. Property held by nom
residents is selling the most freely, as
those. living here can see the healthy
prospects and are advancing prices
or withdrawing from the market.
1t is a grand opportunity for
any man with little or. much
means to secure home, as inter
est rates are very low, money plenty and
terms can be made to suit any man s
purse. What would be called a boom no
man desires, but rather good, healthy
advance and rapid sales The country has
developed rapidly the past eighteen
months, and the city must follow.
The. great demand for houses is one
strong indication that We are growing
rapidly in population.
What we much need for the financial
health Of our city is a good, safe, con-
servative administration, and every man
that pays a dollar in taxes has voice
in making our city the pride of the north
west.
