As to Conscience.

The public conscience consists mostly
of frances.
When once aroused the public con-
science sighs and Sobs and sheds blood
with great fervor.
1t then closes it's eyes and gently
slumbers once more.
Most men prefer the public con-
science asleep
With it in that condition it is much
easier to stay out after thu ringing of
the curfew.
1t is also easier to stay the market
and strike the public for another cent
on the gallon.
The man who stirs up the public
conscience sometimes gets stirred
under himself.
1t is the prerogative of the public
conscience to send evil-doers to prison,
whence the private conscience of the
average governor pardons them out a
few at a time.
The public conscience differs from
the private conscience only in guam
tity. not in quality.-Chicago News.

John Fohren, old and wealthy farmers
living near Spring Lake, II miles north

men who forced an entrance to the
house, bound and gagged the two and
plundered the premises, securing 5000.

other valuableS the robbers placed burn
ing papers at the feet of the two men,
In the struggle the elder brother, An
drew, was so badly injured that he may
die
When the aSSailants found they could
not gain the information, they left hur-
riedly. Andrew started to secure as
siStance, but tainted before he had gone
far, and lay in field until o'clock in
the morning, when he revived enough
to reach cheese factory. where he sum-
moned help. He said that his brother
had been murdered.
Assistance was asked from Algonquin
and several men haStened to the house.
DR.. Mason was the first to arrive and
found John Fohren with a towel tied
around his neck and nearly dead from
exhaustion. He has rallied, and is not

CAR FALLS FROM Il" ROAD IN NEW YORK
Twelve Passengers Killed and Forty Injured --0pen
Switch Direct Cause of the ACCident---MOre
Than Fifty Fell With Gar That TOppIed Over.

The second car of an Elevated
train in New York was hurled
from the track to the street
below at Fifty-third street and
Ninth avenue, at the junction
of the Sixth and Ninth avenue
trains.
Twelve persons were killed
and many injured, some so seri-
ously that the list of dead is
likely TO be increased.
The disaster was due TO the
fact that the switch had been
set for the train TO switch off
slowly to Sixth avenue, instead
of which the train kept right on
without decreasing its speed.
The switchman says the mo-
torman had signaled for Sixth
avenue.
The switchman has been ar
rested and the motorman has
disappeared.

Connellsville, Pa. (SpeciaD. - The
Rand powder Mills at Fair Chance, six
miles south of Uniontown, were entirely
wiped out by an explosion at oo5 o'clock
A. NJ. OF the 81 men who went to
work in the mills 10 are known to be
dead. Of these I3 have been identified.
Scores of people in the town of Fair
Chance, within half mile of the pow
der mills, were more or less painfully
injured.
The shock of the explosion was dis
tinctly felt in Conuellsville, &c miles
away, buildings being rocked on their
foundations. At Uniontown hundreds of
panes of glass were broken.
In the town of Fair Chance there is
scarcely a house that did not suffer
damage. The sides were battered in as
though axes had been used. Haystacks
were toppled over in the fields and live
stock were stunned. The rails fthe
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the
West Penn Traction Railways Company
were rooted from the roadbed and traf-
fc was delayed from four TO six hours,
transfers being made over the Pennsyl-
vania.
Train No. 81, on the Baltimore and
Ohio, had a narrow escape from annih-
ilation. 1t had just passed the Rand
Mills when the explosion occurred. The
windows in the passenger coaches were
shattered and passengers thrown into a
panic. Had the train been a few sec
onds late it would have been blown up,
as the mills are within few rods of the
tracks.
A street car on the West Penn Rail
way had also passed just few seconds
before the explosion and was far enough
away to escape damage, though 1t was
derailed
Every one of the 10 buildings was total
ly demolished Not a vestige of them
remains. The debris that was strewn
over the ten acres of ground where the
plant was located took fire soon after
the explosion and added its terrors to

Of the dead were burned in many in

made by parts of clothing alone. The
