Neat candidate cards, decorated on one
corner by the picture OF a frog, and bear
ing the foregoing announcement, were
freely circulated to-day by Newt" Tom
lin, one OF the best-known characters in
the city. There are six other avowed and
several prospective candidates for the
Democratic nomination for township trus-
tee. but Tomlin thinks he can beat them
all. His campaign will be unique in that he
will not spend a cent of money and will
work among the poorer class of voters for
his support.
Tomlin is quite poor, but he was not al
ways so. For three months, several years
ago. he was rich. very rich. Before this pc
riod Of prosperity he caught and sold frogs
for a living. and ne does so now Tomlin
was one of the heirs Of the Wathan estate,
and several years ago received his portion,
which amounted 10 thousands OF dollars.
Tomlin started in to have a good time. and
he had it, while the money lasted. but this
was very short period. Attired in hand
some suit with silk hat and wearing Dig
diamonds in his tie and on his fingers, he
would drive his team OF handsome blacks
through the streets but never failed to see
one of his old chums and stop to buy him a
drink. TOmlin never took change. When he
presented a bill in payment OF drink. his
answer invariably was Keep the change -
After a few months his money was gone and
he fell back into his old habits as though nc
had never been rich. and he never mentions
the fact 10 any one.

Deadly Havoc Created by Explo-
sion of Steam Pipe in the
Cambria Works. /
ROOF CRASHED DOWN
Burying Nearly Two Score Work
men in the Ruins OF the
Building.
FIRE SOON BROKE OUT
And Some of the Victims Were
Burned-Others Scalded
and Crushed.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. Jan. H.-2:4O a. m.-
At least twelve workmen were killed and
twenty-five injured, some fatally. by an
explosion at the Cambria Steel Company's
plant this morning. Two bodies have been
recovered.
The disaster was caused by the explosion
of an immense steam pipe directly over the
engine in the boiler room of No. mill Of
the Cambria Steel Company about 1:S0
o'clock a. m. which brought down the
whole section of roof running from the
pudding mill TO the finishing shed of the
mill. The woodwork at once took fire from
the furnaces and at this time is burning
fiercely.
Added to the fire and explosion disaster.
a large waterpipe burst and flooded the
ground about the scene Of the accident.
One man caught in the debris is in plain
sight but cannot be rescued, owing TO the
intensity of the heat. 1t is probable that
not one of the men penned in can escape
death either by drowning or fire. The ac-
cident occurred between turns and a great
many men were seated In the mill.
At 2:40 a. m. the number Of dead was
estimated at from twelve to fourteen men.
The injured will number twenty-five or
more. many of whom are terribly scalded
and cannot live. Two bodies have been re-
covered. The injured are being hurried
rapidly as possible to hospitals.

ANDERSON, Ind, Jan. 21.-The local
Western Union Telegraph operator was
badly scared soon after Wednesday mid

there was an electricaf display calculated
to startle everybody in sight. Some quick
witted individual cut the wire, but the
lights remained out for some time.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
JOKES WITH MR. HANNA
Puts Hand on Senator's Shoulder
and Asks "Why Don't You
Cut Bait ?"
WHITE HOUSE INCIDENT
;pecial'to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-There was an
incident at the Cabinet dinner given last
night by Postmaster General Payne which
will be read with interest by the Republic
ans of Indiana.
The President was in attendance, and so
Senator Mark A Hanna, of Ohio
Representatives of the Democratic press
spent the greater part of the night in the
corridors of the hotel, waylaying the guests
as they departed and seeking information
as to a possible incident involving the
President and the chairman of the Repub-
iican national committee.
'T don't know what the boys expected"
said one OF the gentlemen who attended last
nights dinner, unless il was that Senator
Hanna and the President would engage in
a fist fight because the Democrats had made
an effort to make it appear. that there is a
wide gulf between the two men,
One of the most interesting things that
has been printed in connection with the al
legged differences between the two men was
10 the effect that the President had told a
prominent visitor from Indianapolis that
when Senator Hanna returned to Washing
ton he purposed to make him either fish or
cut bait" So persistent and apparently
authoritative were these stories that when
Senator Hanna arrived in Washington Sec
retary Cortelyou called on Senator Hanna
and explained to him that the President had
said nothing of the kind, nor nothing that
could even be so construed.
Last night, after dinner Mr.. Payne sug-
gested that the gentlemen retire TO indulge
in after-dinner cigars All arose to depart,
except the President, who fingered. None
of the male guests would leave the dining
room in advance of the President. There
an awkward pause, each of the Cabinet
officers and other public men awaiting the
Presidents pleasure. The President finally
took in the situation and started toward
the smoking room, and found Senator
Hanna at the head of the other guests
Throwing his arm across the senator S
shoulder, he said
We'll well, senator. why do you hesi-
tate? Why don't you cut bait or fish?"
