"On Sunday morning about s
O'Clock, Harry ". Welch, If Burnt

biidge near his home. HIS body
was lying partly in the water.
His scull was crushed. His par
ents thought, as he had not re
turned home on Saturday night,
that he had remained all night
with another young man in town.
On Sunday morning his brother
started out to look for him, and
found him lying beside the bride e
dead. Calling some other men,
Roy McGehee, thinking ne was
still alive, pulled him out of the

mally eastward to the Atlantic.
Storm condition" mean that
the temperature shall 4act to

with more or less increase of hu.
midlty and growing cloudiness.
Such conditions as these, scien.
tldcally considered, constitute In

and they are accordingly charted
on the "otficial weather maps" as
regular storms. With this class
OF official dlgnitari.s 8 deadly tor
nadoes, with no general low ba-
rometer, would be no storms at
all IN their records, while the pas
sage OF very low barometers, with
no clouds, wind and ram, would
go down in weather bureau his
tory as regular storms. Hence
correct forecasts of storm con.
dltions are not infrequeatly con-
demned as failures. The proba-
bilites are that the storm condi.
tions appearing the last three
days of March will bring return
of general rains, turning to snow
along the north and west sides of
storm areas. Rising barometer
and colder weather will be advan.
cling from the northwest as the
month goes out, to spread east

April. We believe that March as
a whole will be rough and stormy
above the average.

DANGER OF A CHINESE REVOLT.
DR. Ayres Says That Students are Dissai.
isiied With Government.

DIR II. W. Ayres, who has beer
engaged in hospital work in North
Chi a fo' the past five years, ir
connection with the Sou thern
Baptist, arrived from the Orient
last Tuesday. In discussing the
situation in China, subject oil
which be is well informed, he
said
"All of the trout BILE now brew.
ing in China is di ectly attributa.
ble to deepseated and uncon-
querable antipathy toward the
government. The feeling of dis.
satisfaction is spreading. and to
my mind a revolution is immi.
nent The anti-foreign feeling is
merely one of the expressions of
the movement which has for its
purpose the unseatlng of the Man
chu dynasty and the establish
ment of Repu bllcan form of gov
ernment IN its stead. The boy
colt on American goods, similar.
ly, is an expression of the same
revolutionary purpose. These
things are merely the means to
an eud. The student class has
become numerous influential
body. 1t Is matter of interest
that among something over II, 900
students who returned to China
in a body from the schools they
had been attending IN Toxic, had
a great many unkind things to say
of tile rulers of their own coun-
try.
"These students, who are men,
bers of the better classes IN China
are responsible for the growth
and propagation of the ti-for-
eign sentiment and for the boy
colt.
"The antl.foreigu feeling Is not
directed particularly again s t
American missionaries. Th e
doctrine that is being spread
abroad in the empire is tnat the
foreigners are there to grab, and
the Chinese can see that the mis-
sionaries are not in China to make
money or grab territory"

TROLLEY TO MOUNT UNION.
Project TO Build Line from Chambers
burg Across the Mountains.

DiIrg ACROSS tue mOuntdins.
The Cham bersburg Repository
of Friday, has the following:
There is a movement on foo
now to give to Cham bersburg an
other through trolley line tina
will be great convenience to Tho
citizens of this community as wei
as to the public generally.
From here to Mount Union
Huntington county, by rail, it is
about 1876 miles, Mount Union be
ing in the nelghborhood of eighty
miles west of Harrisburg. From
Cham bersburg to Mount Union
by way of McConnellsburg, 1t is
but about forty miles, or less
Thus, by the latter route, the
distance between Cham bersbure
and Pittsburg is reduced over
ninety miles.
The project in contemplation is
TO build trolley line from Cham
bersburg to Mount Union via st.
Thomas, Fort Loudon, McCon.
nelsburg, Burnt Cabins, etc.
The ine is to be constructed for
fast ttavel and will be equipped
with large heavy cars In order to
make speed and to compete with
theam roads. Some of the lead
ing business men of the State are
back of the scheme and they are
in earnest. They will make an
effort to procure a right of way
on the turnpike to McConnells-
burg, but should they fail IN this
they will buy the land necessary
upon which to construct the road.
The matter is now getting into
good shape and an application
will be made t the State Depart.
ment at Harrisburg for a charter.
This application will include
steam and electricity as a motive
power so that the road can be u.s.
ed for freight also, in case the
Legislature next year declines to
accede to the wishes of the peo-
pie in giving trolley com panies
the right to carry freight.
The project has been kept
rather quiet up to the present
time but 1t has leaked out and we
give 1T as we hear it. Let the
line come. 1t will be a great con-
venience to the public generally,
and will open up field now with
out any railway system.
