DISREGARDS PREM0NITI0N,
TEN LIVES ARE LOST

ALTOONA. May 1s.-Had James T.
Dougherty. the pilot engineer Of Chicago
and st. Louis Express. given heed to
premonition OF danger which twice
before had saved him and his train.
there would have been no wreck at
Glover Creek Junction, May (. and ten
lives would have been saved and thirty
seven people spared injury.
Mr.. DougherJy. IN his testimony before
the coroner's jury investigating the
wreck yesterday. made this remarkable
statement:
There is such a thing as presentimenr.
Three years ago / stopped my train be-
cause Of having such a feeling. and I
believe ] saved many lives by doing so.
About three weeks ago I had the same
feeling. and stopped my train. and IL
was found that tree had fallen across
the track some distance ahead.
ON the night Of MAY II I had the
same kind Of preseniment passing
through Alfaratta Park II I had seen
a headlight or even a sperm candle

NATIONAL AID FOR ROADS.

Farmers Aid the Government, Now
Let the Government Help Them.
In recent address before the Ohio
state board of agriculture the lecturer
of the national grange remarked that
he believed the movement to secure ma.
tional aid for good roads was equitable
and right.
The people most interested In better
roads, said he, are those engaged In
tilling the soil, comprising about one
third of our population. The farmers
of the country have by energy and in
dustry placed upon the markets of the
world such volume of the products OF
the soil as to affect the balance of trade
with foreign countries, making us u
selling instead of Il buying nation
They have responded nobly to every
call issued in the name of their state
and nation. In view of these and other
facts that might be stated they now
ask in the name of justice that the
roads upon which we all travel shall be
improved Before the surplus now held
by the national government Is d1strlh
uted to national banks without Interest
or the erection OF expensive govern
ment buildings in cities, which has be
come fixed policy of the government,

suits demand & recognition of then
rights in the improvement Of bi@hwayF

Reports of Several New York state

1890 policies in force, the amount OF
risks carried being $5,O4O,000. The
average losses for seven years have

The matter was brough} up alta
meeting of the game commission re-
Gently, and it was stated that the
forestry commission has given the
necessary permission, and three pre-
serves, each from two to twO.and
half miles square will be Established
at once. One will be in Franklin
county near Mount Alto, and one
each i'm Clinton and Clearficld, c0uR-
ties, where the state owns many
acres of forest land. 1t is proposed
to surround these preserves with
single wire with notices of the res
ervation placed every 100 feet or so,
the idea being that the wire will
serve as Il warning to hunters that
they are state preserves, the common
sense aud public spirit of the hunter
being trusted to prevent him from
entering or shooting game therein.
Speaking of the plan, DR.. Kalbfus
state game protector said: "This is
the commencement of "A great chain
of preserves where game Of all kind
may go, rest and breed. They will
not be stocked, and we trust that
the animals and birds will 60 there
from other places. We will rely up
on the people to respect these pre-
serves, our only precaution being
wire and notices tack ed ON trees. If
this is done the whole state will ben
! etit."

Many of the State papers continue

Many of the State papers continue
to tell their readers all about the prt :
posed Orphanagc which is soon to be
put in operation at Berwick by the
orphanage and home association OF
the Il. O. S. of A., We observe in
in the Tanaqua Courier on account
of the recent visit of Secretary Theo-
dore Harris, of the association to
Berwick and of how he was received
by the local camp of the "P. O. S. OF
A. This all shows the Importance
of single letter. There are two
fraternal organizations in this State
with almost identical names. The
one is the Patriotic Order Sons of
America. 1t came into being lS47,
admits men only and now enrolls
over $4,000 members in Pennsyl-
vania alone. The other is the Patri-
otic Order of Americans, Il much
younger association composed of men
and women. This is the Order which
is interested in the Orphanage and
home and not the Patriotic Order
Sons of America.

companied by several ladies in Mr..
Voorhees, private pullman car, Sat
urday were on their way to Eagles.
Mere when at Halls Station their
ear was shifted onto q siding to wait
the coming of the Eagles Mere train
to carry them through. While
awaiting on the siding, a train came
along and had two pulmans attached
which were also bound for Eagles
Mere. In shifting these two cars
into the siding, for some unaceount-
able reason the brakeman could not
control them and they struck the

they broke all the windows in their
ear, knocked the dishes out of the
buffet, broke them and sent the oc-
cupants all on heap. Nobody WIS

DERNICE ITEMS.

Mr.. and Mrs. George Schaad of
Parson, Pa. are visiting friends at
Mildred.
Mrs. F. F. Schaad of Mildred is
spending few weeks with her par
ents at Cherry.
c. +. Jackson has returned from
his fishing trip and fish stories are
all the rage. Talking of fish we
may say that e. w. Morter had one
of the prettiest baskets of trout that
we have seen in long time, and
they were all caught in Birch creek.
F. F. Schaad and John Scouten Jr.
of Dushore, were at Rous Pond fish,
ing two days last week and they
caught all kinds of fish. Frank
caught bullhead that measured
fourteen inches. This same fish has
been caught once year for the last
fifteen years but always got away.
Some days ago a Mildred fisherman
swore he saw sea serpent in the
pond but it is presumed that he saw
the fish that Mr.. Schaad has caught.
Mrs. j. A. Helsman left Thurs
day morning for Philadelphia to vis-
it her husband who is in one of the
hospitals where he was operated on
for appendicitis. He is improving
rapidly and is expected he will be
home the latter part of the week.
There is considerable hard feeling
over the filling of Office of school
director. VIM. Abbey got the APP
pointment over Il. V. Mclaughlin.
Tom had the promise of four out of
five directors, but as he had failed to
consult the boss he was turned down.
If it had been left to the choice of
the people he would have been the
man as he has all the qualifications
to make good director, and he is a
man to whom no one could dictate.
We notice by the papers that the
school directors of Colley township
are likely to get into trouble. Why
not consult with your neighbOring
directors? They never get into
trouble.

shore visited Mildred friends Sun
