A New Maxim.

When you're feeling bad and blue,
And the Sun has lost its rays
There's a maxim quaint and new,
"a little Christian Science goes .
long ways"
Heard q preacher shouting,
The world will end soon sure,
Quoting Scripture and doubling
He needed the "faith Cure"
We all must die, the world will end,
In Gods appointed hour,
There's no use to worry, my friend,
A merciful Gods in power.
"a Christian Scientist isn't that
queer?
I'm one to a certain degree,
Faith, hope, Sunshine and prayer,
Is always good forsme.

Blackburn has not strengthened
his ease by base reflections upon
Governor Glenn and other Demo
cratic officials. They are men
whose public and private acts are
above reproach and everybody

likely to turn out diffently from
what he expects.

E. Spencer Bla0kbufh ST. North
Carolina ann6uhced Saturday that
he would contest the election of
Richard A. Hackett, 40 q member
of the sixeieth congress from the
eight congressional district OF that
state. .
Congressman Blackburn has
written q letter to his opponent
at Wilkesboro, N. c., notifying
him of the action he has taken.
In this letter MI. Blackburn says
that although the election returns
show that his opponent was given
a majority of 1905 votes, he was
not lawfully elected.
Mr.. Blackburn charges that
gross Irregularities, illegalities
frauds and bribery was committed
by p~artsians of Mr.. Hackett, anc
that the conduct of the election
officers at the voting precincts wal
unjust, wrongful and unlawful, 81
says the Associated Press.
Of course he will contest. THAI

of them from carrying the dis

that, but wants to steal the sea
and remain in the lime light.
But he cannot succeed by fai
means. Mr.. Hacket has beef
chosen as the peoples representa-
tive by a decisive majority and
prepared to answer all of Black
burns. foolish and groundles
charges to the satisfaction of al
honest men. Blackburn is awar
that he has no resemblance of ez

FIVE HURT AT FIRE.
Ladder to Third Story Collapses I'm
der Mems Weight.

CHICAGO, January 2.-Carelessness of
firemen in erecting a ladder at fire which
partly destroyed the residence of DIR. P. s.
WEIGH, Cos North State street, yesterday,
was responsible for serious injury to five
persons, two of whom were firemen, one a
woman whom the firemen were endeavorng
to rescue the fourth a small boy who
stood watching the fire, and the fifth a
policeman.
In their haste to raise the ladder to the
third story of the house and rescue Mrs. G..
H. Cooke, sixty years old, mother of Mrs.
WEIGH, the flremen neglected properly to
connect it in the middle and 1t collapsed
under the weight of the two men and the
woman precip;tating all three to the pave
ment below. The end of the ladder as 1t
fell among the crowd struck the boy on the
head, causing a fracture of the skull.
The fire started in the basement from an
oyerheated furnace and gained strong head
way before it was discovered. Ten men,

cessor to Mr.. Cassatt. Mr.. MeCrea had
been selected to fill the vacancy at an in
formal meeting of all the directors after
the funeral of Mr.. Cassatt on Monday. At
that time it was decided to formally meet
today and ratify the selection. Because Of
the cut and dried nature of today's meet
ing all the directors did not deem it neces-
sary to attend, but nevertheless most of
them were present.
While the board went through the far
mality of clecting head for the great rail-
way system Mr.. McCrea, who ret'.rned
from New York early in the day, remained
in the private offices of the late President
Cassatt with number of personal frien<s.
After he had been elected he was officially
informd of the fact and was escorted into
the board room and .congra tulated by his
fellow members of the board.
Board Will Consult McCrea.
So far as can be learned, Mr.. Cassatt's
position as president of the Pennsylvania
lines west of Pittsburg and other COM
panies affiliated with the system will not
be filled until next week. II Is certain,
however, that President McCrea will be
elected to all the places made vacant by
the death of Mr. Cassatt.
The question of filling the vacancies cre-
ated by the elevation of Mr.. McCrea has
been left to committee of the members
of the board, who will consult with Mr..
McCrea as to his wishes in the matter.
The two men most mentioned for Mr..
McCrea's place as first ice president OF
the Pennsylvania lines are Joseph Wood
of Pittsburg. second vice president of the
western lines and William w. Atterbury OF

Many Changes to Be Made.
The death of Mr.. Cassatt and the cleo
ton of Mr.. McCrea as his successor will
cause many changes in the STATS of the
executive heads of the company, both in
the general offices of the company in this
city and in Pittsburg. While Mr.. McCrea
has made no announcement on the SUBJ

Investigation of Terra Gotta Al
fair Being Conducted by
District Coroner.
most disastrous happening in the
history of the District.

In anticipation of the holding of the
coroners inquest over the remains or the
victims of the railroad disaster last Sun
day night at Terra Gotta station, people
began to assemble about the gray morgue
building on the river front at an early
hour this morning. Morguemaster Wlillam
Schoneberger transferred the furniture from
the inquest room in the morgue to the add
Joining building occupied by the crew OF
the steamer Firefghter, where the IN
ouiry was held in order that there might
be no lack of room. About O'Clock
large detail of policemen, in command OF
Capt. Cross, appeared. The policemen were
formed in double lines at the entrance to
the fire house. This force was Increased
by the addition of the harbor police under
Lieut.. Sutton. 1t was explained that
rush of people, including the relatives and
friends of the dead, might seek to force
their way into the inquest chamber, and
the presence of the large force of officers
of the law was, therefore, ordered by Maj.
Sylvester as precautionary measure.
There was feeling Of suppressed excite
ment in the throng that crowded about the
entrance Of the place especially among
those whose dear ones had been ground to
death beneath the wheels of the great loco
motive, No. 2120. When the patrol wagon
from No. 10 police station hove in sight,
bearing the prisoners, the police frightened
their lines, and when the wagon halted be-
fore the building the members of the train
crew now prisoners of the law, walked
through the double row of blue-coated
guardians and into the inquest room.
Arrival of Train Crew.
1t was 9:45 o'clock when they reached
the place of inquest, and once in the
structure they were taken in charge by Po-y
liceman H. c. Russell of the tenth precinct
who will be their guardian during the
progress of the hearing. When the Inquest
was begun the members OF the train crew
were escorted to the morgue building,
few feet away, where they were held under
guard until they were needed as witnesses.
District Commissioner West drove UP to
the fire house a few minutes after the pris-
oners had entered, and at once proceeded
to the inquest chamber Deputy Coroner
Larkin w. GlaZebrook was there 10 receive
him. Commissioner Mcfarland arrived
soon thereafter, and entered the room
where the hearing was to be held. Then
came Mai. Richard Sylvester, chief of po-
lice, and Mr.. Waldo c. Hibbs, who con-
ferred with the Commissioners. 1t was de-
cided owing to the pressing Importance of
the wreck inquiry, TO postpone certain
hearings of citizens that had been set for
today at the District building until Friday.
This indicated that the hearing of the dis
aster matter was expected to continue for
several days.
