UNCONSCIOUS FOR
OVER AN HOUR

Ralph Scidel, miller at Washington
vfllo. was seriously injured Monday
bv being caught in belt and that he
survives is solely due to timely help
and prompt presence of a physician.
Mr.. Scidol, who has charge of L. Q.
Cooper's grist mill, on Monday even
ing went up into the second story to
change the belt from the chopper to
the wheat rolls. This is task usual
lv very easily accomplished. a stick
kept on hand for the purpose is en-
ploycd to push the belt from the pull
ley; it is then caught on the left arm
to prevent it from dropping through
the slot in the floor which communi-
Gates with the lower pulley, after
which with the aid OF the stick it is
placed on the wheel above belonging
to the wheat rolls.
While the belt is being changed the
machinery is generally slowed up.
On Monday evening it appears this
precaution was overlooked and the
mill was running at nearly II not
quite its full rate of speed The mill
or with the aid 0t Tia" stick had no
difficulty in throwin@o1 TIA" h'lr, "ut
as he caught it upon his arm the Vt
locitv with which it rcyo!vrd had the
effect of hurliug him to the floor with
terrific force.
The noise as his body struck was
distinctly heard above the hum of the
machinery down stairs whore Clarenc'
Scidcl ard some others were in wait
ing. The young men rushed mp stairs
hat found Walter Robinson, who was
at the head of the stairs when the ac-
cidcnt occurred, already at Ralph ;
side, who lay PROSTATE on the floor,
unconscious and to all appearances
dead.
The young fellows quickly carried
the miller to the office and while they
proceeded to wash the blood from hls
face sent for physician. 1t was not
long before DIR. !. Sydney Hotfa arriv-
ed. The injured man was still uncon-
scious and there was very littlc pulse
or action at the heart His mouth was
cut and ho was badly bruised ON the
shoulder but beyond thi, his injury
seemed limited to the terrible shock
h" had sustained
The patient was too far gon" to he
able to swallow, which made it dillt-
cult To administer to him. He was
taken to the home of his father, Joseph
Scidcl where treatment WAS continu-
ed. DR. Hoffa worked hcroirally and
finally after one hour and twenty
minutes succeeded in bringing the
patient back to CONSEQUENCES. lie con-
tinucd very low during Monday night
and it WAS not until yesterday that he
was able to give any account rs to
how the accident occurred.
Had ne been alone in the mill hc
would undoubtedly have died, A. the
doctor states that it was only the
effect of the fresh air and the cold
wator applied in washing his face
which prolonged his life until medical
assistance arrived.

improvements Completed.

Perhaps at no period in the history
of the Young Men Christian Assocla-
ton has the building and equipment
been in better condition for doing
good work 4 few weeks ago new
heater and a new boiler were Install
ed, and the baths, lockers and dress
ing rooms completely changed and ron
ovated, giving the place very neat
and clean appearance.
Last week the gymnasium was
thoroughly cleaned and frcshencd up
with paint; the floor oiled and all the
apparatus Put in good condition. Be
sides these improvements, lin order
to avoid all dampness) the sides OF the
gymnasium were wainsCoted to the
hcighth of four feet from the floor.
With conditions as they now exist,
there is no reason why the work of
the Association should not have good
success in every department of its
work during the coming season.
Members Of the gymnasium classes,
which will begin in the near future,
will be pleased to know that the dill
cultics encountered in the baths by a
lack of hot water last year, have been
overcome by new and improved at
tachmcnts and better water supply.

OPENING OF
THE SCHOOLS

After three months silence the school,
bells Monday rang out mcrrily and
in response over a thousand boys and
girls bound for school with shout and
laughter materialized upon the streets.
The first day attendance yesterday
was exceptionally large, fact which
is attributed to the system of promo
tion employed, under which a single
days absence counts to the pupils
detriment, whether at the beginning
or later in the term. The enrolment
Monday was as follows:
First Ward, including the High
School, 422; Second Ward, 270; Third
Ward, 297 Fourth Ward, 215, total
1904. In the High School, whore last
year there were l2O pupils yesterday
the enrolment was III. There are sew
eral High School pupils yet to come in
and Superintendent Gordy Monday
stated that he has no doubt but
that the enrolment this year will
reach l55. The total attendance last
year was a trifie over 100.
The increased attendance and the
addition of another department to-
gether with the non completion of the
annex leads to good bit of over
crowding, which makes work very
inconvenient to say the least of 1t, al
though things are adjutsed in a way
to accommodate all the classes The
Directors room and Superintendent
Gordy's office have been supplied with
chairs and pressed into service as a
recitation room, being occupied all
day. To accommodate the school the
Borough superintendent has been OBJ
liged to change his office hours He
can now be seen between the hours of
: 30 and 8 80 a m and / 80 and 80
p. IN.
The East room, which upon the com
pletiOn of the annex will be used a.
laboratory, is also used as recita-
tion room and made to do good service.
Ventilation Is very poor in this room
during the winter, but at present tn {
windows can be kept raised, 50 that
no matter how much overcrowded no
i'll effects are feared.
The teachers held meeting in the
High School at 3:l5 Monday after
noon, which was presided over by
Superintendent Gordy The teachers
were given instruction a to the gen,
eral working of the schools and steps
were taken toward the adoption of q
reading course along the line of meth
ods of teaching An effort will be
made to increase the Teachers library
which now numbers some one hundred
volumes. Meetings will be held onct
month for discussion of stated topics

DEMURRA0E CHARGES
ABiIl that Will Cause Spirited Debate
TODAY.


What Is known as the Angel bill, IN
relation to demurrage charges against
railway companies, now on its third read
Ing in the Senate. will be taken up to-day,
and a spirited contest Is expected on the
measure, which is opposed by the rail-
ways, but advocated by many shippers
The railways may now charge for stor-
age Of freight not removed after notice,
but the shipper has no redress when
goods which he badly needs are tied up
in the mazes of freight yards or delayed
in transit somewhere.
The bill designed to remedy this condl-
ton and to equalize matters Is entitled a
bill! to require the State Corporation COM
mission to fix and prescribe storage, de-
murrago and car service charges, witt
rules and regulations governing same. Tho
measure comedies and guarantees the
right of railways to charge for storage
or delay In removing goods. but Is de-
signed to give the consignee OF goods
sumo means of securing prompt delivery
of his freight.
The Clayton bill to require common car
riers to be responsible for goods shipped
over Its own and connecting lines was
passed by the Senate yesterday by q
large margin and with but little opposi-
ton. It is expected the demurrage bill
will get through to-day. Senator Julian
BRYANT made an effort yesterday to have
the bill set as n special order for to-day
but as 1t already has precedence on the
calendar the effort was not pressed. The
railway companies have not been very
successful in defeating legislation which
is not altogether acceptable to them,
