norman in the last legislature and
recommend him to the voters of
Pennsylvania as a candidate for
Judge of the Superior Court pledge
to him Our united support and in
struct our delegates to use I'll hon
orable means to secure his nomina-
ton. And it is further
ReSOfoed, That it is the sense of
the Columbia County Democracy to
nominate only one candidate for
Judge of the Superior Court at the
coming state convention.
Whereas, self styled Democrats
have taken active part in the organi-
zation of the Democratic party, and
have assisted in the naming of
candidates and otherwise made
themselves conspicuous in the man
agement of the party, prior to the
election, but who on or before the
day of election used their utmost
endeavors to defeat the Democratic
ticket, which they helped to form,
thus violating the rules OF the De-
mocratic party and the established
usages ofparty affiliations, proving
traitors to the time honored rule,
viz: That he who enters caucus
or convention of party and assists
in the nomination of candidate is
in duty bound thereafter to vote
for such a candidate, aud use his
best efforts to assist in his election.
Be it therefore
Resol0ed, That we deprecate and
condemn this violation of the rules
and usages of the party, and stigma
tie such persons as sneaks and
traitors, and hereby declare that
such persons are unfit to be men,
bers of any political organization
whatsoever, and that the Democra-
tic party owes it to its loyal voters
to exclude from its councils all per
sons who have thus betrayed it,
Mr.. Greasy, in stirring speech,

which was adopted

| gates use all honorable means to
secure a plank in the Democratic
state platform to allow trolley roads
to carry freight.

Down and Killed.
HIS He RING DETECTIVE.

Warren Albertsou met instant
death on the Bloomsdurg and Sui
livan Railroad, about half past sew
en- O'Clock Sunday evening. The
accident occurred a short distance
this side of Benton. Albertson
had spent the day or portion of it
at the home of his sister, Mrs. CLARK
Dildine, and was returning to Ben
ton by way of the railroad. Engi-
neer Laumig observed him and
several others, who were some dis
tarce ahead of Albertson, and blew
the whistle. All left the track but
Albertson, who because of impaired
hearing failed to catch the warning
and the engineer being unable to
stop, owing to the short distance,
an acute curve having obscured the
vision until he was close upon
him, he was run down and instant
ly killed. There was deep cash
in his head, his left arm was brok-
en-, one foot was completely severed
and the other leg was broken. The
body was placed in the train and
taken to Benton, where undertaken
Ira McHenry took charge of it and
prepared it for burial. Beside his
mother, Albertson is survived by
several brothers and sisters. One
sister, Miss Martha Albertson, is
employed by the Berwick Store
Company, and it is said, brother
also works there.
He was twenty-five years of age,
and was employed at Knouse's saw
mill at Benton.

TROLLEY OAR CRASHED INTO
B. & s. TRAIN.

A steep incline, and the ineffec-
tiveness of the hand brake, sys-
TEN in use on all the single truck
cars of the Columbia and Montour
Electric Railway, caused trolley
mishap at the Main street crossing
of the Bloomsbury and Sullivan
Railroad Thursday afternoon, which
came within an ace of being fatal,
the fact that it was not, was not
far short of miracle. So far as we
know no one was hurt, but the
door ON one of the box cars was
crushed in and the end of trolley
car No. s was reduced to a mass of
splinters,
The accident occurred shortly be-
fore three o'clock. The car left
the Square in charge of conductor
Harry Christian and motorman
William Tremley, on a regular trip
to Catawissa. 1t had proceeded only
a few yards below the summit of
the Main Street hill, when the mot
orman heard the noise OF the train
and Immediately reversed the mot
or and applied the brake with all
the strength at his command, but
the incline had given the car such
a velocity that it could not be
stopped, and before the passengers
could be warned, it crashed into
the train. The passengers, seven
in number, were pitched forward,
but none were seriously injured.
Motorman Tremley pluckily stuck
to his post until the car struck the
train.
The train was a combination
freight and passenger, and was in
charge of conductor Charles Turner.
The car was completely derailed
and turned crossways in the road.

ton of Berwick as delegates to the
Democratic State Convention to be
held at Harrisburg next week.
The committeeman unanimously
endorsed the good services of Rep
resentatives William T. Greasy and
John G.. Harman, at the last session
Of the Legislature and endorsed
Hon. R. Scott zimmerman of Dan
vile for the Superior Court Judge
ship.
Hon. John G, Harman spoke
earnestly in favor of nominating
but one candidate for Superior Court
Judge, as contemplated by the
leaders of the party. The Republi-
can newspapers throughout the state
are harping for the nomination OF
three candidates, for then the
machine of that party will be the
leading instrument in the election OF
the entire court, a result which it
can easily accomplish by distribu'
ton of its excess vote, or stuffed
count in Philadelphia. One candi'
date. Mr.. Harman said, will thwart
the purposes Of the machine and
preclude the possibility of ''sell
out"
The treacherous conduct and per
fdy of certain members of the
party at the election last fall were
severely criticized in the following
resolutions which were unanimous
ly adopted:
Whereas, the members Of the
standing committee representing
the Democracy of Columbia county
are this day in convention assem-
bled.
And whereas, the voices and
votes OF our representatives Hon
William I. Greasy and Hon. John
G. Harman have always been founc
with the rights of the people and
for such laws as would benefit al
the people during the session of the

STATEHOOD GETS
SEVERE BLOW
Pennsylvania Scandals Hit
Arizona and New Mexico.
ORGANIZATION INTERESTED
Furnished Inspiration Because of
Business Holdings Oklahoma and
Indian Territory Not Involved.

Statehood for Arizona and New Mex
leo has received a serious blow, it is
admitted even by the best friends OF
the cause, through the political and f.
nancial catsclysms in Pennsylvania. this
year.
The Pennsylvania Republican organi-
sation was the most determined and eff
fective advocate of Statehood for the
two Southwestern Territories in the last
Congress, and the late Senator Quay
was at once a tower of strength and a
source Of weakness to the cause.
Support Not Unselfsh.
The failure of the Enterprise National
Bank. Of Pittsburg, has brought to light
new evidence that tho ardent support
which the Quay organization gave the
Statehood cause was far from patriotic
and unselfish. 1t was well known that
people of the first Importance to that
organization had large business and po-
htiesl interests in New Mexico and Ari-
coma, and that these furnished the in
spiration for the enthusiastic support
which was given the Statehood proposal.
But the fun realization Of the nature
and extent of these relations has only
been brought 10 light since the Enter
prise Bank failure. 1t was freely enough
charged Wnen the statehood measures
were before the last Congress- that the
creation OF Arizona and New Mexico as
States would practically make them APP
pendages of the Pennsylvania machine,
which would thus get a most potent tail
20 Its political kite, with more Senators
and Representative to add to its pow
er- Bu< it is now being urged in addl-
tion to this. that the relations of the
Statehood promoters to the Pennsyl-
vania machine and State treasury are Of
such character as most gravely to IiIjUro
the prospects of Statehood legislation
Hope to Escape Condemnation.
Oklahoma and Indian Territory were
not involved except incidentally with the
affairs Of the Pennsylvania organization
in the farther Southwest, and their
friends hope that they will escape the
general condemnation, and be able 20 Sc
cure passage of a bill admitting them
either as one or as TWO States. 7. is
urged in this connection that Oklahoma,
with well nigh a million people, IS the
