TROLLEY's ODD PASSENGERS.
Four Calves Placed in Car After Col
lsion Near Camden.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. IS
Four calves as passengers in a troll
ley car was the odd sight witnessed
in Merchantvile. The calves occupied
the smoking compartment and rode
from Woodland avenue to Cove road
without paying fare. Clifton Kent of
416 Mount Vernon street, Camden. had
the calves in wagon driving them
toward Camden.
When nearly opposite Browning road
an inbound trolley ear of the Public
Service corporation crashed into the
rear of the wagon and Klent was
thrown out on his head. The wagon
was wrecked and the horse was slight
ly injured The calves We're scooting
across the field.
Klent was unconscious when picked
up. He was taken to the West Jersey
Homeopathic hospital with a badly lac
Grated scalp and cohtusions of the right
leg.
Word was phoned from Camden in
structing an employee of the, road who
lives in Merchantville to care for the
calves. 1t took some time to round
them up. and they We're loaded into
the smoking compartment of a trolley
ear and transferred to stable.

BLOCKED IN HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-There are
several measures that some members
of congress believe to be of great i'm
portance, which will not be enacted
into law by the seth congress. 1t is
the usual thing at the beginning OF a
short session OF congress to say that
there is time for nothing but the APP
preparation bills, and it almost invarl-
ably turns out that that is all that is
accomplished unless the leaders really
want something else done. In the pre-
sent case the president and some of
his particular friends have wanted GER
tain things done. but the controlling
factors in the two houses have been
opposed, and the congressional leaders
have won out
Many long compaign speeches have
been made on various appropriation
bills and no protests have gone up from
potential republican leaders. Up to a
certain point they were willing that
time should be consumed in this way;
it was as good as anything else to
prevent clamorOus demands for leg
islation the leaders did not want.
Though the appropriation bills are now
far behind and there remain only three
weeks for actual work, all the supply
bills will get through in ample time;
but nothing else will.
The Philippine tariff bill, which

Check.

SOMERSET, Pa, Feb. iS.-Joseph
Rininger, modest farmer of Somerset
county, has won in his fight against
one OF the most powerful corporations
in the state. He has received a check
for 100000 from the Manufacturers
Water company. subsidiary concern
of the Cambria Steel company, of
YOUNGSTOWN, for 400 acres of land far
removed from the railroad and the
busy marts of trade. Ringinger pur-

1t was six years ago when the en-
gineers in the employ of the Cambria
company first appeared in the neigh
borhood of Stanton's Mills. After
their preliminary work land agents op-
toned and purchased almost 1000
acres along the Quemahoning creek,
and Ringinger was asked to name his
price.
After due deliberation he said he

quoted, the agents said, was preposter-
Gus, and they left the valley, obvious
ly believing that Ringinger would soon
accept a low figure. Four months
later they returned and learned that
he had raised the price, and when they
made the third effort to purchase the
farm he laughed at their offer OF $780,
0G0.
For several years the purchase of
the Ringinger tract was lost sight OF.
and meanwhile the rumor was indus
triOusly circulated that the Cambria
company had abandoned the idea OF
turning the valley into a water basin.
Ringinger smiled good-naturedly when
his neighbOps twitted him for letting
a golden opportunity slip through his
fingers, and patiently bided the time
when he could turn the laugh on theb.
Yesterday he startled the whole
countryside by exhibiting a check for
5000 900 drawn on the Girard Trust
company of Philadelphia. 1t was six
months ago when Ringinger named
$500. 900 as his ultimatum, and since
then he had declined offers ranging
from 100000 to $4,000. On the same
day Stanton received a check for S1Oo,-
600 for a tract of 313 acres.

NOT TO SHORTEN SESSION
Even / Legislators Consider Bills
Now introduced
FULL SIXTY DAYS are NEEDED
CALENDAR NOW WAY BEHIND
THE MEASURES BROUGHT
INTO EXISTENCE.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 1S.-Unless the
work of the legislators is handled
with greater expediency from this
date on and unless there is some
sort of an end to the Introduction of
bills there will be no shortening of
the session as planned by the reform
ers is the senate. Up to the present
time more than 500 bills have been
introduced and if the policy of the
letter some disposition must be
made of every measure that has been
| introduced
1t has always been the custom in
past sessions to forget a great many
of the minor bills introduced as well
as some measures of Importance that
did not meet with the policy require
ments Of the legislature but the word
has been given out by the reform
forces in both houses that some dis
that is presented.
The resolution to shorten the ses-
sion as it was finally passed, provides
that no bills shall be introduce
later than March 5, or ten days be-
fore the adjournment of the session.
The calendar is now far behind the
bills introduced and there seems to
be no end of the flood of bills that
are being offered for consideration.
If the introduction of bips We're
to stop at this time it would be inn
possible for the legislature to con-
slider all of the measures that have
been introduced and catch up with
the work in 10 days time. On top of
this condition is the fact that the
, most important measures are yet to
be considered-the measures that re-
quire the greatest consideration and
the ones that will bring forth the
hardest fights of the session. There
are the reciprocal demurrage, direct
primary and local option.
In view of these facts it is not
hard to see that the closing days of
the session will see enacted the
same scenes that have marked the
closing of all past legislatures and 1t
will indeed be unusual if the session
closes before midnight OF the Goth
day and even with the time extended
to the full statutory limit it is a safe
guess that there will be some bills
that will never come up for final con-
sheraton
