Engineers HaITucination.

An Olean Dispatch says: TT. Lynch,
Pennsylvania engineer, whose loco
motive was wrecked in a collision at
Franklinville, a week ago, has since
been wandering about the country, on
foot, in an over wrought, frantic con-
dition. He imagined at the time of the
wreck that many people had been killed
and thai he was to be held responsible.
Nearly crazed with the belief he started
on his travels and was not seen by his
friends until to-day, when he came here
nearly exhausted and still bemoaning
the terrible occurrence at Franklinville.
He still believed that he had caused the
death of many Victims. When assured
that he had not been in blame and that
nobody had been killed, he was not
sufficiently sane to understand and
be comforted. Relatives are earring
for him. Lynch is resident of Buffalo.
He formely lived in Olean.

The Road to Anarchy,

One of the most dangerous tenden-
cies of modern American life, appar-
emily becoming every day more preva-
lent, is the disposition wantonly and
recklessly to speak Ill of those who are
charged with the performance of public
duties. Instead of the respect which
in the days Of our fathers was exhib-
tied toward those selected by the peo-
pie for office, it is the habit of our time
TO offer them only abuse. If we ever
succeed in entirely destroying the con-
fidence of the people in those who ad-
minister the government we shall have
reached the time when the government
itself is ready to perish. 1t is kind
of slander which Is closely akin to
treason and leads directly on the road
TO anarchy and the overthrow of our
cherished institutions. II is the breed
ing ground where grow the sentiments
and impulses OF creatures like Guiteau
and zolgosz.-From Judge Penny
packers Erie speech.

Wilson Weakened.


J. @. Miller, the Chairman of the Re-
publican County Committee of Elk
county, received the following disgust
ing letter from Ed. M. Wilson, on Fri
day last
Clarion, Pa, Sept 2i, 1902.
Hon. J. G. MILLIR,
Chairman Republican County Committee
Ridgway, Pa.
DEAR SIR-I have decided that the situation in
this Senatorial district at this time does not justi
fly contest by me with any hope of success and
that it is out of the question for any Republican
candidate to receive enough votes in Cameron,
Forest and Clarion counties to equalize the ma
jorty Mr.. Hall will receive in Elk county, which
was conceded by his opponents after received
the nomination. have written Senator Penrose
to this effect and have forwarded to the Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth at Harrisburg, Pa,
my withdrawal as the Republican nominee.
If you desire to have any other person in the
district accept this nomination and reconvene
the conference, as provided by the ballot Act,
please let me know the time and place, and will
have the three conferees from this county at
tend, and will cheerfnlly do anything / can to
aid you in any way. I desire to convey to you
my personal regards, and to thank you for the
that my judgment has compelled me to come to
this conclusion at this late time. This is final.
With best wishes, 1 remain
Yours truly,
ED. NJ. WILSON.
We have serious doubts if anything
could ever be final with so vacilating q
man as Mr.. Wilson has proved himself
to be in this matter, but one thing is
settled-Mr. Wilson is certainly not the
man the Republican party was search
ing for, as he is sorely lacking in nerve.
We need a man who can stand up
against the boasting gall of Constant
Candidate Hall and prove his boast a
lie just as Col. Clearwater did so valient-
ly in 1900. The time was never ripper
to lay out this arrogant king of the Elk
county ring than just now, and all we
need is man of nerve TO stand up and
make the fight. Mr.. Wilson was select
ed because he lived in Clarion county,
and it was thought he could carry that
county against Hall because there is
bitter feeling there against him among
the Democrats. Mr.. Hall and his heel
ers are laughing up their sleeves just
now and expecting an easy victory in
the district. They should not laugh
quite so soon. 1t Is not too late to find
a good man yet and one can be found
who is able to defeat the proud and
naughty king of Elk county. The
ballot law gives plenty of opportunity
to fill the vacancy and man may yet
be found to go out to battle with this
autocrat of the st. Marys brewery.
The people are ready and anxious to
down him if they have a chance and
they can vote against him this year,
without fear, as we have a secret ballot
now. w.-Ridgway Advocate.

BRIEF r1ENTION.

An exchange says that man has in
vented chair that can be adjusted to
800 different positions, and adds that ''it
is designed for boy to sit in when he
goes to church.
"That settles it," said an old farmer
who was just on the point ofrenting his
farm and moving into town, when he
was told that rural mail route was to
be laid post his door: cpl build a
tenant house, keep my old home, have
my daily paper and die where I have
worked for forty years."- Ex.
The history of the Industrial changes
which have of late been occurring with
such rapidity is to be found in its most
interesting form in the careers of the
Captains of Industry" now before the
public in connection with the larger
interests of production transportation
aud finance. A knowledge of these men
their derivation, their leading charac-
teristics, weakness and abilities, throws
much light upon the news of the day in
which their names constantly recur.
In making the effort to present fairly
complete series of studies of these men
The Cosmopolitan Magazine has
furnished the public with one of the
most interesting serials ever published.
In the October number H. @. Frick
Cyrus III. K. Curtis, David II. Moffat,
Woodrow Wilson and II. H. Vreeland
furnish interesting studies.
"What We Have Done for Our New
Possessions' is the title of the double
page ofpictures in the October Woman's
Home Companion. 1t shows the real
effect of our good government in the
West Indies and the Philippines An
other feature of special interest is 1.-THE
Fate of 'Cupe' and 'Dinah," or the
final, hitherto unpublished chapter of
"Stringtown on the Pike" "Woven
With the Ship" reaches it's dramatic
conclusion. There is clever story by
Mrs. Bishop, called 1.-THE Garden Plot"
and another laughable "Nurse Norah"
story. Other features are "The Child
rem of the Poor in Great Cities" How
Mrs. Roosevelt Keeps House. "The Old
Fiddlers' Contest' and page of beauti-
full pictures of mothers and children.

He Won't Support Pattison.

This story is told by Col. John W.
Frazier. It's a good one, and musU be
true:
Hans Hinkenlooper keeps provision
store at Overlook, within block or
two of the residence of Ex-Governor
Pattison. Proximity influences misled
Hans into supporting the Union party
last Fall, and believing that he might
go farther on the downward road to de-
struction, he was invited to go to Read
ing to assist in notifying Pattison of nis
nomination for Governor. Wanting a

While Pattison and Guthrie were
frantically preaching Reform" and
Nolan was keeping the throats of the
boys moist 80 they could yell for Gre
form," halfdozen pickpockets from
New York went through the crowd and
touched" Hans for eighty-fve dollars.
On the way back to Philadelphia, Mr..
Pattison said: "Mr. Hinkenlooper, I
was very glad to see you at Reading to-
day. presume you intend voting for
Pattison, Guthrie and Reform.
''No, sir. I goes back nit der old
barty."
''Why, how is that Mr.. Hinkenloop-

non-partisan Reform.

Geo. w. Huntley's Nominating
SDeech.

was delivered by Geo. w. Huntley,
Esq, at the Republican County Con-
vention, held at this place, Sept. %:
Mr.. CHAIRMAN:-A duty devolving
on this Convention is the nomination
of a candidate to represent our county
in the next General Assembly of the
State Legislature. 1t behooves us to
name man worthy of the high honor
conferred upon him; man qualified to
faithfully serve the people, one who
will receive their suffrage at the polls.
IbelieveCameron county has men who
can fill any requirements that its people
may demand, but in this case we have
a man particularly fitted for this parti-
cular place. Such man is Hon. Henry
III. Mullin. He is self-made man, he
having by industry, courage and integ-
rity, climbed the ladder, step by step,
from a slate picker at the coal mines,
to printers devil, and from printers
devil to Editor of one of our leading
journals; and who has become one of
the most progressive citizens of our
county.
Born in our State, he came to our
county mere lad and has resided with

one of our daughters and built home
in our midst, and we have watched him
rise by his own efforts, to his present
honorable standing in our community.
He has always worked for the interest
of the county and the honor of it's citi-
zens. He has been a friend to the
widow and orphan, help to the old
soldier, and counselor to many others,
without distinction of nationality, re-
ligious creed or political affiliations.
He can be approached by everybody
and can ascertain the peoples wants,
and knowing their wants, he also knows
how to secure them. He is better ac-
quainted with the county and its people
than any other man, knows the condi-
tion of all our citizens, aud having the
mind and heart to endeavor to accom-
plish their every demand, he is there
fore, prominently qualified to serve
the people. He is acquainted with the
political leaders of the state, besides
having served two terms as Clerk in
the House and another term as Member.
He has practical experience for this
office which few mon have.
He is, furthermore, imbued with the
noble principles that were inculcated
by the lamented Mckinley, and pro-
mulgated by the courageous Roosevelt.

county to make this nomination as q

Bridge Broke Down.

On Monday William MCGEE, who
drives team for D. @. Hayes, had a
very narrow escape from injury.
While crossing the bridge near the fur
niture factory, which leads to lands of
Charles Weller, the same gave way,
precipitating the team and wagon into
the stream. Mr.. McGee was pinned
under the wagon, but escaped without
injury. The horses were also as for
tuuate. Men who saw the accident
hurried to the scene and freed the man
who was fast under the wagon. 1t Is
a miricle that he was not seriously in
iured.

Terribly Burned.

John Burnett, residing on Spring
streed, met with painful accident
Tuesday morning, at Climax Powder
works. He was employed in the re-
covery department and was preparing
to empty tank of acid the cap flew off,
completely covering his face and neck
with the fluid, fearfully burning him.
He is confined to his home and fears
are entertained that he may lose his
eyesight. DR.. Smith is attending him,
and informs the PRESS that while the
gentleman's face is severely burned,
he thinks his eyes are not permanently
injured.

good grounds for believing that no
votes would be lost to the party by
the conversion of the voters to
Democratic doctrines, but there was
an element of danger in too great
confidence on the part of those who
were reluctant to go to the polls and
vote, except in close campaigns.
The Democrats are considerably
worried at the prospect of the loss
of two votes from Texas. No steps
have been taken thus far toward
electing successor to the late Rep
resentative de Graffenreid and the
selection of Congressman for gov
ernor will leave another vacancy in
the delegation.

to Oppose His Election as Governor.


to Oppose His Election as Governor.
At the recent tin plate conference
of the Amalgamated Association the
following resolutions were passed.
Whereas, r. E. Pattison has been
selected as one of the candidates for
governor of this great commonwealth;
and
Whereas, 1t Is we'll known to organ
lied labor that said r. E. Pattison is q
most bitter enemy of organized labor as
was evidenced by his action during his
last administration by his vetoing Sen
ate bill No 10, session of 1885, provid-
ing for better protection of wages of
labor and providing for better system
of collection, and his vetoing House bill
No. 626, securing to mechanics and Ia
borers the right to file liens on real es-
tate for wages due.
"Also by sending troops to Home
stead during the strike of 1892, after
he had promised a committee of the
woTkmen that no troops would be sent
there in view of the fact that Adjutant
General Greenland had reported that
peace prevailed and that the presence
of troops was not necessary for the pre-
servation of order; and
Whereas, 1t was stated to COM
mittee of citizens of Homestead by
General Snowden, the representative
of Governor Pattison. that the mills
are open, and any one who the COM
pany permits to enter to work will be
protected by the troops
Therefore, in view of all these facts,
it is resolved by the members of the
conference committee and the other
members of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers,
that we do condemn unqualifiedly. and
without reserve, the action of former
Governor r. e. Pattison, and we recon-
mend that all union men vote and use
their influence to defeat this enemy of
organized labor"
