MIR. Bryan on ownership.

Louisville, Ky, Sept. l8,-Twenty-
two thousand wildly enthusiastic peo-
pie assembled al the new armory last
night to do homage 10 William Jen-
nings Bryan. Linked arm In arm with
Henry Watferson, his whilom oppo-
nent, the Great Commoner made his
way to the speakers stand, and for
more than four minutes was the cen
Ter Of the widest scene, and the most
inspiring that the South has ever seen.
There is no telling TO what the cheer
ing might have gone had not Mr., Wa :
terson stepped to the foreground and
quelled the pleasurable, fever-heated
enthusiasm. Again, when Mr. Bryan
was introduced by Senator Stone, the
multitude was heard for five minutes,
and Mr.. Bryan, with great difficulty,
prevailed upon his audience TO allow
him TO proceed.
In his speech Mr., Bryan dwelt par
ticularly on that portion of his New
York speech relating to Government
ownership of railroads, declaring that
his attitude to some extent had been
misrepresented. He said that he had
nothing TO retract, but rather desired
to elaborate ON what he had previously
uttered oil this subject.
Reviewing briefly his New York
speech, Mr.. Bryan said he had no in
tention of tying to force upon the
Democratic party his personal views.
He reserved the right to do his own
thinking and he accorded every other
man the same privilege. He would not
ask any other man to come TO his way
of thinking unless he could do so con-
scientiously. AS to making ownership
a plank in the Democratic platform,
that was matter for the voters to de-
termine.
81 shall advocate strict regulation
and shall rejoice if experience proves
that regulation can be made ef-
ifective. | will go farther than that
and say that / believe we can have
more efficient regulation under Dem
ocratic administration, with q Demo
cratic House and Senate. than we are
likely to have under Republican Adj
ministration, with Republican Sen
ate and House.
"Yet, / would not be frank with
you if | did not frankly admit that
observation has convinced me that no
such efficient regulation is possible,
and that Government ownership can
be undertaken on the plan outlined
with less danger to the country than is
involved in private ownership as we
have had it or as we are likely to have

Republican Primaries.

The Rel ublicans held their prima-
ries in the country districts on Satur-
day last and in town on Monday
night for the purpose of selecting del
egates to the senatorial and county
conventions. The attendance was
small at most places and in the fourth
ward the meeting went by default.
We are glad to see that Mr.. John j.
Hetzel will be a member of the county
convention, knowing Mr.. Hetzel az
we do we expect the machine to get a
jar before it railroads its Elkins ticket

IL Assuming shape.

The project to construct an electric
railway line extending from Winches-
ter to Nartinsburg via the rich fruit
section and continuing down through
Shephe -tstown, and Harpers Ferry to
Charles Town, which has been in the
air for several months past, is nov as
Stunning such shape that it is believed
it will be definitely known within a
few weeks whether the matter Will be
brought to successful consunation
or not. Persons representing the capt.
talists back Of the proposition, accom-
panied by Col. Stuart w. Walker, who
has been handling the local end of the
IN after, went over portion of the
route yesterday, and upon the report
depends the success or failure OF the
project. A deal of such great proper
lions, involving, as it does, the expen-
diture Of 81 900, 600, cannot be closed in
a,day, and while little has been said
here concerning the matter, those In
charge haze been working hard to
bring about success. The building OF
this road would greatly benefit every
person along the route, and concert
ed effort to help the matter along, in
the event it is decided to build the line,
should be made by every progressive
citizen i'm the three counties through
which the line would run. World.

General Registration Law.

From present indications Danville
and other boroughs and townships of
the State will in another year be en-
braoed by the personal registration
law, which this year went into force
in all the cities of the Commonwealth.
So we'll did the law work in the cities,
that it is now proposed to extend it to
the boroughs and possibly even the
townships.
Senator John W. Crawford, of Pitts
burg, announces that at the next meet
ing of the State Legislature, he will
take steps to have it amended so bor-
oughs-at least boroughs of II certain
size-he included.
Senator Crawford takes the ground
that many of the third-class cities now
existing, and which have the advant.
age of the registration act, are not any
larger than some boroughs. and in
deed smaller than many.
Crawford calls attention to the fact
that the floating population in these
large boroughs, where there are big
industrial plants, is as great as in the
cities, and he is of the opinion thai
the extension of the provisions of per
sonal registration to such places woult
be of incalculable benefit.

Talk of Through Electric Road.

The Bloomsbury Daily last evening
is responsible for the following:
Although some are inclined to take
skeptical view of the much reported
trolley road from Wilkes-Barre through
to Sunbury, nevertheless the persist
ency of the frequent reports regarding
the same, and the manner in which
these are received by the prime NOV
ers in trolley affairs strongly indicates
that the proposed road is far from
visionary, and will probably be au
actuality realized in the surprisingly
near future.
The latest reports from Wilkes Barre
are that the proposed road is to be con-
structed by company which Is prac-
tically the same corporation that is
building the present third rail line
from Wilkes.Bar to Hazletou, fami-
liarly known as the Cannonball; :"
and the same report says that the road
down the Susquehanna will also run
into the handsome new station now
being built for the Cannonball" road
in Wilkes-Barre.
If the present plans OF the men back
of this project are carried out as out.
lined, they will in all probability buy
up the rights of the Danville and Sun
bury road, which will give them a
right of way through both of those
towns. 1t is even intimated that it is
in anticipation of this purchase that
the Sunbury line is now being held
up.
From Wilkes Barre the tracks of the
Hazleton road would be followed to
Empire, and then would branch off to
Nanticoke. From Nanticoke the road
would follow the old Pennsylvania
canal towpath pretty much all the way
down to Northumberland
When Bloomsbury Daily man in
terviewed Atty. @. O. Yetter, of the
Danville & Sunbury road, and other
trolley men in this town regarding
the matter, they would neither affirm
or deny the probability of such road
going through; they mostly smiled
and looked wise. However, the impress
sion was gained that such project
need surprise no one, even if work is
started next spring. A through line is
bound to come eventually, they all
argee.

WAGON BURNS While
DRIVER EATS

John Martin, huckster, of near
Ottawa, and we'll known in this city.
where he disposes of much of his pro-
duce, was the victim of most unusu-
al catastrophe in which his wagon and
load of produce and other articles
were destroyed by fire.
Mr.. Martin had been out on buy
ing expedition during Tuesday morn
ing, and by noon his wagon was pretty
we'll filled with the commodities of
his vocation. He stopped for dinner at
the Hilner home near the Bethel
church tied his team, and leaving his
pipe behind in the wagon, proceeded
in the direction of the savory odors
that foretold of the midday cooking.
Now the IHilners have more or less
of reputation, throughout the coun-
try, for preparing a tip top meal; so
that possibly Mr. Martin may be par
doned for not noticing the contiagration
that was taking place in front of the
house, although the fire and smoke at
tracted the attention of the neighbors
for miles around.
When the unfortunate huckster had
satisfied the inner man, his attention
was directed to what once was his
proud equipage. The fire, which with
out doubt started from his pipe, had
by that time nearly burned itself out
The wagon box and top were destroy
ed and one of the horses considerably
burned. But the list of Mr.. Martins
losses from the contents of his wagon
made matter of serious proportions.

Stricken With ApOplexy.

Thomas @. Kear, the well-known
shoemaker on North Mill street, is ly-
ing very critically i'll at his home,
Spruce street, as the result of stroke
of apoplexy sustained on Sunday last.
AT intervals for several years past he
has suffered from this cause, but the
strokes all were very light and he soon
recovered from the effects. In all he
has sustained some half a dozen strokes
The one Sunday was a very severe one
and has left the man helpless and un
conscious. Mr.. Kearis seventy-seven
years of age, which considering the
severity of the attack leaves but poor
prospects of recovery. He is a very
widely known resident of our town
and the news that he has been stricken
will be received with much regret,
