Trolley Line Patrons Complain Of 3. &
/ o. and u. S. Express Company.
WASHINGTON, Sept. So A com
plant filed with the Interstate Com
.merce, Commission yesterday by En-.
gene Walker. Of Media. Pa, against
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and
the United States Express Company,
charges blacklisting on the part Of the
defendants.
The allegation Is made that in ac-
cordance with joint system of pacE-
age express for persons in towns al
jacent to Philadelphia, inaugu"uted by
defendants, certain fixe'l rates were
established, and complainant AYERS
that he, with numerous other citizens,
enjoyed the benefit OF these rates on
parcels from Philadelphia to Hockes-
sin, not only on defendants lines. but
also on the trolley line to Hockesst.1,
but that the defendants have since
blackltsted the patrons Of the trolley
line, and compelled than to send pack
ages via the Pennsylvania railroad tn
Kenneth square, about Eve miles dis
tant. to avail themselves Of the pack
age rates.
1t is declared that the station agent
Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
keeps in his office list Of the patrons
of the trolley line, and the privileges
accorded to those who ride on tie
fendant's road are refused those pat
rons.
The complainant prays that he and
other citizens have. equal treatment
with those riding on The Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, and that such otn-
er relief may be granted as the cir
cumstances require.

lVvAsEIINGToN3PAP PER SAYS ~ IS
UP TO DEMOCRATS What
a@ TO DO WITH BRYAN.

The washington Post, an indepepd-
ent paper published at the National
capital says:
II Mr.. Bryan's advocacy Of govern
ment ownership and the good crops
now ripe for the sickle do not insure
a Republican majority In the sixtieth
Congress, we shall be greatly surpris
cd. His party must take Mr.. Bryan
or leave him, and II it takes him at
all 1T must take all of him. II Mr..
bryan is nominated By the Democratic
party for President in 1908, govern
ment ownership will then become the
paramount and the COLE issue, even
as 16 to was in 1896.
That IS the condition that Is pre-
sented to the Democratic party, and
it has nearly two years to deliberate
ON It. 1t has this advantageit can
make the paramount. VIII it make
State socialism the paramount? We
do not marvel that Mr.. Bryan aban-
doned his trip to New Zealand TO study
State socialism as 1t exists in that
country. He is already overloaded
with that sort Of stun. and by 1908
the country will know IL he can un-
load it on the Democratic party.
From the Democratic standpoint.
Mr.. Bryan's remarks on the tariff
Thursday night were unobjectionable.
1t was in his power to make that is
sue paramount. In that quarrel he
might have summoned every Demo-
crat fro ocean to ocean. The party
and the country were as eager for the
fray as they were in 1890, when Mr..
Bryan was elected to a Congress that
was overwhelmingly Democratic;, but
1--we cannot have Bryan and tariff too.
The only yoke-felow TO go with Bryan
lis government ownership of railroads.
Federal and State. He has made it
so.
The Democratic party is face to
face with that proposition. 1t must
drop Bryan or embrace his preach
ments. He is the platform-if ne
shall be the candidate -no matter who
shall write it, or what it shall say.
Ordinarily. the Southern Democracy
would not touch his proposition with
lthe tongs, and we believe the South
Twill reject him and his ism; but poll
tics is much of a whim and whirl-
Iglg, and nobody knows what d day
Twill bring forth.
But the South Of yesterday would

New Jewelry Firm.

Hight & Co., jewelers. and opticians,
have sold their stock and good will
to A. W. Gholson & Co., who will
continue the business at the same
stand. For the present Mr.. Hight
will remain with the new firm and
will be glad to have his friends and
former patrons call on him when they
wish anything in his line.
Mr.. Gholson comes highly recon-
mended as responsible business
man and reliable workman. He is a
practical matchmaker of ten years
experience and can max a watch from
the raw material. He is practical
optician also and has one of the
finest optical equipments in Virginia
which he will move here.
The new firm will start with a
$4,000 stock of goods and increase
as the trade demands. They have
an engraving machine and can turn
out engraving in a few minutes after
the order is in. 1t is the intention of
Messrs. Gholson & Co. to cary a COM
plete and up-to-date line of jewelry
and optical goods and sell at as
close margin profit as is consistent
with sound business methods, and
do as good work as can be put out
at as reasonable cost as possible.
The GOLD LEAF welcomes the new
firm and bespeaks for them the con-
sideration and patronage OF the peo-
pie of Henderson and surrounding
country.

Touched a Live Wire and Died.

Jim Gaffney, a young negro man
in the employment OF the Home Tele
phone Company, was killed by COM
ing in contact with a live electric wire
while working on telephone line last
Thursday afternoon. No one was
with him at the time and it is only a
matter of supposition as to how he
met DEATH He was dead when found,
suspended by the network OF wires,
just as he had fallen forward at the
first contact with the deadly current,
his plyers tightly gripped in his right
hand. The fleshy part of the calf of
his leg was burned through to the
bone and the wire had burned in two
the ends falling to the ground.
Gaffney had gone to do some work
on this line-take out the slack. in
the wires-a voluntary act on his
part. He had signifed an intention
to do this work few days previous,
but was told to let it alone as new
poles were to be erected and the line
rebuilt very soon. Having nothing
else to do Thursday afternoon, it APP
pears as if he went off to do this work
anyway, without asking for orders
or acquainting any one with his in
tentions. Being alone there was no
one to tell the story of the unfortu-
nate occurrence. But the fact of
death and surrounding circumstances
spoke for themselves. Sitting across
the cross arm he had reached for
ward to pull one of the telephone
uiraS Ho thraU his riOht Loo hack
ward to balance or brace himself.
His spur or climbing iron strapped
to his feet came in contact with one of
the electric wires on the lower cross
arm, the insulation was cut through
by the sharp edge of the iron and the
full force of the cuerent was sent
through his body. Death must have
been instantaneous and without the
sensation of pain. Although the
body was burned in three places the
features of the face were not distort-
ed in the least.
