News of the Week.

Twenty nine bodies have been recovered
from the west fork of the Pocahontas Collier
les Company mine, at Pocahontas, Va, and
a conservative estimate Friday, places the
total number of dead at 70. The resculng
party reached the scene of the explosion, but
the immense amount of debris and wreckage
has hampered the search for bodies. There
is no evidence thus far of fire.
Frederick Cowan and his 17-year old bride
were gored 10 death by an angry bull III a
meadow near Martinsburg, w. Va, October
4. The young couple had just left the home
of the preacher who had married them after
sensational elopement, when the bright red
dress which adorned the person OF the bride
attracted and enraged the bull, which charged
down upon the flaming patch of color moving
across his feeding ground.
Eight persons were killed outright. several
others are likely to die and at least two.score
were injured by exploding gas in the Market
Street Subway at point between SKIN ana
Seventh streets, Philadelphia. on October D.

were shattered, and no building within ra-
dious of block escaped damage. The ex-
plosion occurred about $40 O'Clock. an hour
when workmen fill the streets. Pedestrians
were blown high in the air, and trolley cars
rolled in their tracks as though they were on
rockers. Some of the dead were caught IN
the excavation, while the injured were blown
high in the air by the exploding gas. Inc
street caved in, traffic was halted and business
was suspended. The flaming gas scared near

The Woman's Missionary Society of the
Lutheran Church, of Uniontown, held very
profitable and interesting meeting on Saturday
last, at Snnnybank, the home of Miss A. e;
Mering. The meeting was designated Leaf
Meeting" and the room was tasefully decor GO
ated with autumn foliage and flowers The
bible reading consisted of texts on trees and
leaves. There selections were neatly written
on appropriately colored imitation leaves made
of paper. The subject for the month, "Home
Missions was made interesting by exhibiting
pictures of the various home mission church
es, supported by the Woman's Societies: The
meeting closed with an invitation to the dining
room, where each person was presented with
hand decorated menu card and served with
ham sandwiches. coffee, olives, sailed. nuts
and fudge. Both the menu cards and the
leaves containing the Scripture selection were
the handwork of pupils of Miss Bessie d.
Mering's school. Two cradle doll members
were present at this meeting and hugely en-
joyed the "play dinner served them at a
miniature table. Altogether the meeting was
unique and not soon to be forgotten.

The Duty of Democrats.

The Republican party, from the Presi-
dent down. is making desperate effort to
retain possession of the House of Repre-
sentatives at Washington. Every argu
ment is being used to show the faithful,
that the best interests of the country, and
especially the political fortunes of the Re-
publican party are wrapped up in this con-
test. And well, indeed, may they feel
anxious for their safety. They see the
handwriting on the wall, and begin to
realize, like Belshazzar of old that they
have been weighed in the balances and
are found wanting. y
There is at this time mighty discon-
tent in their party, upon an issue that is
more vital than any other, to the Ameri-
can people, and an issue, like Banquo's
ghost that will not down. The Stand
Patters" are having deal of trouble with
prominent members of their own party in
the West, who are demanding that the
tariff schedules shall be revised, and that
the exorbitant ratings of the Dingley, rob-
Der tariff, shall be corrected.
The cry of prosperity will no longer 81
lence the people, who see that they are
being robbed by law, which is the very
worst form of robbery. What we need at
Washington today, and what all the signs
of the times indicate we shall get, is a
Democratic House of Representatives, men
who will reflect the real sentiments of the
great masses of our countrymen, and men
who will stand between the graft and greed
of the Republican party, and the plain
honest people. Let every Democrat is
this crisis of our National affairs, do mis-
full duty, and this much desired end will
be attained
In our own Congressional District, the
Democratic candidate is gentleman who
has had large experience in legislative af-
fairs, and is in every way we'll equipped
for the position. Few men in Congress
are more active and influential than our
candidate, Mr.. Talbot.
While his election is quite we'll assured,
it becomes Democrats to bestir themselves,
50 as to give him good, round majority
IN Carroll county.

Eraiohf Wreck,

Two extra freight trains of the Western
Maryland Railroad bound for Port Covingtor
collided at Glen Falls, just west of Emory
Grove, shortly after midnight Monday morn
ing, derailing five cars and damaging one Of
the locomotives. Practically all of the cars
drawn by each locomotive were heavily load
ed with freight, and two of the cars derailec
contained coal. Some difficulty was expert
enced in getting the cars back on the track
and clearing away Il e wreckage, and nearly
all the early trails over the road were late il
reaching Baltimore. ]. c. Gallery, of Shen
andoah, Va, brakeman, had his arm badly
crushed, and was probably injured internally
by being caught between two of the cars. HI
was taken to the Union Protestant Infrmary
Baltimore. 1t is not thought that his injurie!
will prove fatal. The wreck was due to the
air giving out on the locomotives which were
stalled on the Falls Hill, which released thu
brakes and caused the train to pull the loco
motives down backwards toward Finksburg
where the other train ran into it.

The New Workers are getting alarmed
over the financial situation. The Times
says that in both the city and nation the
percentage of reserves to either loans or
deposits is lower than it has been since the
beginning of the era of activity now in
progress. Turning over the United States
Treasury to Wall Street doesn't mend
matters much, after all. 1t looks like the
result of Roosevelt policy is to be panic.
