and Stay There.

The officers shut down hard on
the maskers on the main streets last
night, and as a result there was in
entire absence of that disorder that
characterized the previous days Of
the holidays While no arrests were
made, the officers were active III keep
ing the main streets clear of that eie-
ment which finds enjoyment in parad-
ing in grotesque costumes and max
ing itself Objectionable by oosterous
conduct and unseemly actions
The gale which prevailed sro;n night
fall until this morning. accompanied
by sharp decline in the Temperature
had much to do with keeping the rev.
elers indoors, but a number Of them
braved the elements and tbs officers
and paraded the streets until the ,,o-
lice got action" They then took to
the side streets, but finding no one
abroad upon whom they could prae-
tice their gentle arts, it was It long
until they retired.
The action of the city officisls in
stopping the practices INDUCED in dur
ing the past week is to be commended.
There is no objection to innocent
amusement on the streets, but, as has
been pointed out, many young Ilen
and boys take advantage OF their dis
guises to commit overt acts, going
so far as to insult ladies and gills
upon the public streets, visit homes
and brighten the inmates, etc. 1t is
against this sort of conduct that the
officials took decisive action.

He, it is asserted, refused to accept
the responsibility for these occur
rences unless his authority over the
operating department of the road was
made absolute, and indicated certain
actions of Mr.. Fitzgerald as cause
Of trouble. That brought the thing
to q crisis
Supporters of Mr.. Fitzgerald claim
that it is entirely unjust to hold him
responsible for the wrecks which have
occurred The more serious ones,
they say, such as at Terra Gotta and
Hanover, were caused absolutely by
negligence or carelessness of the en-
gineers, who ran past danger signals.
No amount of foresight or policy or
system, they say, could have prevent
ed them. All employees had been
properly instructed regarding the me-
eessity OF obeying them absolutely.

The Hagerstown Mail says:
Mr.. George A. Tibbits, the we'll
known Y. NJ. G. A. man, had a narrow
call at sudden death in the Hamilton
on Saturday evening. He was cough
ing in his room, No. 10, on the first
floor, when his breath suddenly stop
ped as if his wind pipe had been shut
off. He staggered to the window,
breathless and choked and waved out
and small boy loped into the hotel
and told the night clerk Mr. Davis
and he galloped UP stairs.
There he found Mr.. Tibbits almost
Frustrated, unable to talk and scarce
able to get breath or two A doc
was at once summoned and DR.. Wag-
aman responded promptly. BY prompt
treatment he was rescued from his
moments OF agony and peril and was
soon able to breathe freely.
He said that it was queer, too, CON
sidering that he had been examined
in Washington only last week and
pronounced as sound as dollar and
he could not understand why he
should have SO nearly choked to
death unless that irritation had caus-
ed muscular contraction Of the bron
chial tubes.
DR.. Wagaman said he thought the
strangulation in the bronchial tubes
was due to slight catarrh and adj
vised treatment.
For a time Mr.. Tibbits thought he
would never be able to breathe again
and suffered greatly.

was pointed out yesterday that Pres
ident Murray has all along been a
great friend of MIR. Fitzgerald's, being
responsible for the several promotions
which the latter received in recent
years. 1t is not thought that he would
have removed the general manager
except under stern pressure. On the
other hand, he has also been very
close to Mr.. Potter.
The story is that Mr.. Potter was
called upon for an explanation Of the
accidents beginning with the serious
one at Terra Gotta and ending with
the one at Hanover a few weeks ago.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Conditions are
gradually mending, but any improve
rnent must be slow and from the ground
up In 10 panic since 1857 have condl-
tions been quite so bad. II viii be hard
to restore public confidence, but the
same conditions were met IN 81. IN 70.
to a certain extent in II. in '93, and In
a way in 1903.
But this panic has one entirely differ
ent feature from all others. It devel-
oped and has continued through a
period Of great Industrial prosperity,
and with the harvesting OF a S2,JOO 900
crop. with looms and mills rushing in
their daily tasks. with people buying
and selling as they have never bought
or sold before. Through a period when
the greatest Industrial institution In the
world. the United States Steel Corpora
ton, was making up It's greatest -hree
months business.
Cause Of Flurry.
This panic originated in the financial
center of the country. II resulted main
" through the inability of the country S
circulating medium. in quantity. TO meet
the demands of the occasion, and not
through corporate dishonesty and un-
sound banking alone, not through the
dictum OF the National Executive, al
though corporate dishonesty, wild cat
financing. and the big stick were al
factors in the situation.
