Bad Accident.

What resulted in a very serious &C
cident occurred at Jowel last Saturday
as the morning train going to Spokane
pulled into the station. 1t seems that
three little Troy girls boarded the train
at Troy, purchasing tickets for Jowel.
The conductor did not take up the
tickets, and when the train pulled into
Jowel the girls started to get off.
Bertha Skeen, the older of the girls,
when the train slowed down, did get
off and as the train failed to stop,
called to her sister Virgie, who was on
the platform, to jump. The girl, who
is about twelve years old and slender
of build, did as her sister bid her, and
was badly crippled, sustaining di =

Asphalt Used In Place of Macadam
on New Jersey Highways.

Asphalt Used In Place of Macadam
on New Jersey Highways.
If the experiments to be conducted
by State Road Commissioner E. c.
Hutchinson of New Jersey turn out
successfully, as he predicts they will,
the day of the dustless country road is
at hand, and automobiling will be
given a boom in New Jersey surpass-
ing even that which its unexcelled
macadam road system has given it,
says a dispatch from Trenton, n. ].
Commissioner Hutchinson will during
the summer experiment with the use
of asphalt instead of macadam for
building country roads. The roads
built of this material in the rural dis
tricts will not be like the smooth sur
faced street pavement of the city
streets, but will resemble the macadam
roads in that they will have small
broken stones for their principal COM
ponent, and these will be bound solidly
together by asphalt This will present
q hard surface from which there will
be no wearing Of small particles to be
whirled in clouds of dust in the faces
of travellers and in the homes of Dor
dering residents.
Commissioner Hutchinson's expert
ments have attracted the attention of
road builders all over the United
States, who are watching the result
with the deepest interest. Mr.. Hutch

road will cost no more than the mac
adam, and that its wearing qualities
will surpass those of the material at
present commonly used.
Within the last few months Commits
sioner Hutchinson has been bobbing up
most Unexpectedly at the scenes OF
new road operations in different parts
of the state. This is the result of the
recent acquisition by his department
of an automobile, which enables the
commissioner to keep his eye on new
road work much more readily than he
could before Contractors and inspect
ors receive no notice of the commits
sioner's approach. and consequently
any shortcomings of which they may
be guilty in the construction are
quickly exposed to the gaze of the Off
cial who has the say in the distribu-
ton of the states road appropriations.
In several counties Commissioner
Hutchinson has pounced down upon
derelict contractors and inspectors, and
he has not hesitated to call the atten-
ton of boards of freeholders to the
conditions that he found, and in some
instances he has exercised his authority
Of Withholding the states money until
the work was properly done.
Commissioner Hutchinson is at pres
ent paying particular attention to ap-
plications presented to him for new
roads. He insists that only the most
travelled roads be improved. and in this
way instead of building roads that will
benefit only a small section he is ac-
complishing the joining of the chain of
macadam roads crossing the state in
all directions. This encourages auto
MODELLING. and in consequence the state
treasury is enriched the more by the
increase of the receipts of its auto
mobile department. The day of the
narrow macadam road. ten and twelve
feet in width, has passed, and Com
missioner Hutchinson now enforces
strictly the rule that he laid down
when he entered upon his ofice-that
no road less than sixteen feet in width
be built in New Jersey.

There is one thing at least that England can beat us on, for we are told that the price of Illuminating gas in Nottingham, under municipal control, is 60 cents per 1000 cubic feet to ordinary consumers, with a slight reduction to large users This has been considered quite low price, but seems extortion in comparison with the rate given by the town of Widnes, in Lancashire. The price there has been 32 cents to small con- sumers, but was reduced to 30 cents on July 1. Large consumers will pay from 22 to 26 cents. This is claimed to be the cheapest gas in the world. It is noteworthy that the Widnes gas works are under munich pal control. The town has only about 30,000 population, but the profit on its gas works last year is stated to have been a 4,703 ($22,SS7.15). The price of gas is remarkably low every where in Great Britain, whether un- der public or private control. the gen. eral range of price being between 40 and 70 cents.

The American Tobacco company, which has factories ins nearly thirty large tobacco and railroads centers throughout the country and sales men and other employees in thousands of other cities, has promulgated an order insuring its employees against death. The new order will affect ap- proximately 15O,000 people in the United States, employees of the com pany. The plan is as follows: Upon the proof of the death of any person who has been employed by the Amer ican Tobacco company for at least one year, his family or any one else whom he may elect, will receive an amount equal to the salary that the late employe received during the last year of his life from the company, provided, however, that the sum does not exceed $500. All employees of the company will come under this order, except those whose salaries exceed $50 a week. Those who will be bene- fited by the offer include every kind of employe; the travelling salesmen, of whom the company employs .sev- eral thousand, stenographers, clerks, bookkeepers, office boys. mechanics, porters, truckmen, watchmen and laborers as well as the skilled work men of various classes.

James E. Smith. editor of the I

James E. Smith, editor of the Pan anna Journal, who is in Washington on a brief visit, says the canal zone is being turned into veritable Monte Carlo. so great is the gambling habit among the employees of the strip. He attributes this evil to lack of anything else to pass away their spare time. Colon and Panama are overrun with gamblers who fleece the canal employees on every hand. There are but few hotels or drinking places in either city that do not permit poker and other games of chance to be carried on. Everything is wide open on Sunday. there being no pro- hfbitive law, and the canal employees. for lack of anything else to do. while away their Sabbaths in these dens of vice and ruin. Whatever may be the general moral effect of this gam bling" continued MT Smith. fit is certain that 1t is proving detrimental to the young canal employes. Some of them owe their salaries for three months ahead, having lost all they possessed and borrowed heavily in order to keep in the games. When they reach this stage they become discontented, dishonest and untrust- worthy. I have seen many stakes run as high as s1.70O in a single hand"

But MT Little field will not be without help, for Speaker Cannon has announced his intention of making numerous speeches in his behalf, as has also Chairman Sherman of the republican congressional campaign committee. MT Cannon will make a number of speeches in Maine and will also be heard in several towns in MT Little fields district. In these speeches Mir Cannon has announced that he will not confine himself to the usual re- publican arguments, but will meet the charges of labor contained in the 'bill of grievances" that organized labor is sending broadcast through out the country. MT Gompers has stated that he will make a number of speeches in MT Littlefleld's district and will probably make noon-hour talks in every factory town in the Second district. If he is successful against MT Littlefield he will regard his triumph as a great victory for organized labor From present indi- cations there promises to be some warm campaigning in Maine this summer.

THE POWDER BUSINESS.
Government May Go Into It if the
 Trusts Do Not Ease Up.

Washington, July 24.-"Trust- busting" is becoming a habit with the government. The railroad trust, the meat trust, the oil trust, the coal trust, the paper trust, the grain trust, the tobacco trust and others have had their existence enlivened by the Roosevelt administration and now it is proposed to call time on the powder trust. Secretary Taft has called for specifications for the con- struction of plant with initial ca pacity of 300,000 pounds of powder annually and it is expected the mill will be in operation within a year.
 At the recent session, congress au- thorized the building of the pro- posed powder plant as a sort of ex- pertinent. It has been known for years that the powder manufacturers of the country were forcing the gov ernment to pay more for its powder than it fairly was worth. In fact, the powder trust has the government by the throat and compels it to pay any prices for the product that it sees fit to impose.
 When the proposed government plant is in operation, the actual cost of powder will be determined with definiteness. The expectation is then that the trust will be obliged, in or der to retain its government trade, to reduce it's prices. If 1t should decline to meet the governments figures, the administration will recommend to congress that the United States man. ufacture its own powder for the use of both the army and the navy.
 Already the navy department has 6 considerable powder plant at Indian Head. Md, near the big gun proving grounds. The plant has capacity of about 5000 pounds a day. The ex- pense of manufacturing the powder at the Indian Head mill is far less than formerly was paid the powder trust for its product and the trust has been forced to reduce its price to 75 cents a pound. By the naval experts. this price is considered too high, although not seriously exces- sive. When the army gets its plant in operation, it is regarded as likely that the price of powder to the gov ernment may be reduced to even so cents a pound.
 Congress appropriated sl65.00o for the construction of the proposed army plant. It will be so constructed as to make it easily possible to en- large it. if that should prove neces- sary. It was not the desire of either the executive or the congress to att tempt to drive the powder manufac- turers out of business. but simply to give them to understand that they must be satisfied with good profit without attempting to squeeze the government unnecessarily.

THE WATERS BENEATH US.
State Has Many Mineral Springs of
 Value if Developed.

Hartford, July 24.-Because of the nearness to New York city. which furnishes a market for the manufac- turing products of the state. the prob- lem of water supplies for industrial purposes is very important. Relative ly little has been known until re- gently as. to the prospects of deep wells in the granite. which is the usual rock of the region. The United States geological survey has just con- pleted an investigation of the waters in such rocks and has been able to assist many drillers in securing SUD- plies.
 Another investigation, which was greatly needed and which has also been conducted by the geological sur vey. is that of water supplies for the numerous summer estates which are being opened by New Workers and others along the borders of Long Island sound. Special attention has been given to the average depth of supplies, the quantity which can be obtained. the quality of the water, its availability for the various pur- poses for which 1t is needed, and the proper location of the wells with re- lation to joints and other rock struc- lures to topography and to distance from the sea.
 A number of field analyses have been made and many complete anal yses by private parties collected. A special collection of type waters from different classes of rock will be un- dertaken this summer and the wa ters analyzed by a survey chemist. The state has many mineral springs which. in composition. compare fa- vorably with some of the famous wa ters of this country and Europe. but as yet they are little developed. Many would yield medicinal waters of val ue. but it Is for table purposes In the cities that the outlook is brightest. One of the objects of the surveys in- vestieation is to point out such wa ters-
