TROLLEYS KILLS ., HURTS 10
Car Goes Over an Embankment When
Filled With Passengers.

Clarksburg, w. Va.-Heavily la
den with passengers, who were en-
joying an outing, an open trolley car
on the Fairmont and Clarksburg
Traction Company's system, jumped
the track on the Grasseli division just
outside the city limits and crashed
over an embankment, instantly kill
ing two, fatally injuring one and Sc
riously injuring nine others.
How the a left the track is a
mystery the traction company officials
cannot explain. 1t was running up
hill, around a curve, at moderate
speed. After bounding along the ties
for a short distance the car went over
the ~embankment and landed on it's
side, pinning the dead and injured
underneath. Motorman James and
Conductor Fitzpatrick escaped with
slight injuries. Most of the injured
were taken to the city hospitals and
some to their homes. Several pas
sengers besides those whose names
are given were slightly hurt.
The dead: Miss Grace Markell,
Clarksburg, skull crushed; w. T.
Gray, engineer Washington Carbon
Works, Clarksburg, head crushed.

DROPS DEAD IN THE COMMONS.
Sir Alfred Billson's Daughter Present
When His End Comes.

London.-At the time of a division
in the House of Commons, Sir Alfred
Billson, member for the Northwest
division of Staffordshire, suddenly
tainted away and then died. The
House Immediately adjourned. Sir
Alfred was born in 1899.
A pathetic feature of the incident
was that Sir Alfred's daughter was
in the ladies' gallery at the time of
her fathers death. She was not
aware of his seizure, and the news
was gently broken to her by John
Burns.
Sir Alfred was knighted at the
time of the last birthday honors.

JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER
ON THE WITNESS STAND
Secretary Pratt Reveals Standard
Oils Huge Profits.
MADE s81,3OO,OO0 IN ONE YEAR
Witness is Patient-Says He Retired
Years Aga Bailiff Rebuffs
Greet Him.

1reel HILL
CHARACTERISTIC resistance up to
the last moment by his lawyers, John
d. Rockefeller was compelled to bow
to the law, go on the stand before
United States District Judge Kene-
saw M. Lands, and answer questions
like any other witness. Incidentally
he found he vas on a plane no higher
than m other citizen, for he came
into conflict with a bailiff when at
n moment he tried to leave the
courtroom and was compelled to go
back to his seat and await the pleas
ure of the court.
What Mr.. Rockefeller told did not
amount to much, so far as it related
to the effort of Judge Lands to de-
termine how large a fine he should
assess in the rebate case against the
Oil Trust. He revealed ignorance of
the Standard Oil Company's affairs.
Really his place as president of the
company was merely honorary. He
had not looked after details for
twelve years. He had not even been
to the Office in eight years. He was
not certain whether it's capital was
100000 600 Dr. not, and could only
guess that the dividends were
where in the neighborhood of forty
per cent. of that amount.
Judge Lands, however, obtained
the information he had sought. He
calmly overruled the multitudious
objections of the Standard Oil law
yers and pressed questions upon
other witnesses. The most impor-
tant of these was Charles M. Pratt,
secretary of the company. He had
to admit that the parent New Jersey
corporation controlled the Standard
Oil Company of Indiana, which had.
been convicted of so many instances
of rebating that it stood liable to a
fine of $29,240,000. Under the skill
full questioning of the Judge he had
to admit more.
He bore testimony that Mr.. Rookie
Teller did not know about details, for
the capitalization of the New Jersey
company was a matter of almost
100000 under the 500, 900 900
mark set by its president. But this
figure did not represent the full value
of its properties, he admitted, for
they were worth vastly more" This
assertion was well borne out when
Judge Lands led him to tell of earn
ings. The yearly dividends of the
trust had averaged about forty per
cent. of its outstanding capital, but
here was what its net earnings were
in the three years covered by the
cas- at bar:
19O3-$S1,3 800, 900.
1904-$61, 500, 900.
1905-$57,0 0O, 900.

words are bitter mockery, for whom
no changing seasons bring cessation
from toll and WEAKNESS. What of
them in these days of summer sun
shine and joy?
There should be none such, ex-
cept the vicious. And Christianity
cannot rest while such mortals live,
disfranchised of their right to rest
and happiness. The unaccomplished
mission of our faith is the redress of
every economic inequality. There is
no gospel which is not a gospel of So
cial service. We live to bring all
mankind into the family of God. But
meanwhile, while such poverty re-
mains, while such evil conditions sad
den and appall us, what right have
we to our holidays, to our happiness?
Can we sit at our feast blindfold, or
dare we open our eyes? What right
have we to any feast while our broth
ers starve in the midst of plenty?
None, if our lives are wrong. If we
are living for ourselves, thinking,
planning, accommodating for ourselves.
none. But if all life to us is a sacred
trust, if happiness is only so much
stored up energy to be expended in
divine redemptive toll, then go, keep
the feast, charge your blood and
brain with health and flood your soul
with joy.
"For the present go away and for
get! 1t is a counsel of perfection
and you would not follow it, else 1
should say to you, go where you can
have no letters, no newspapers, no
kilograms, where the ring of the tele-
phone bell is never heard, and where
e the Marconi cannot come. But
at least do your best to forget. For
get your business. Forget your
debts. Forget your debtors. Forget
that in this world there is suffering,
sickness or sin. Only remember that
the sun shines for you, the moonlight
and the starbeams are for you, the
tides ebb and flow for you, the gorse
upon the hillside, the purple heather
and the fields dressed in living green
are for you"
Dir. Aked said he had no patience
with the attitude which makes a sad
and doleful thing out of the practice
and forms of Christian worship.
Let US have done with these SOL
emn hypocrisies of conventional wor-
ship" he said. Let us frankly
claim our heritage of happiness in a
world whose maker and builder is
God. One day Paxton Hood had to
preach in a Yorkshire church. 1t
was a glorious summer morning. A
good brother gave out:
MY thoughts on awful subjects roll,
Damnation and the dead
But Paxton Hood leaped to his
feet and said, ooh, no, they don't!
My thoughts do not roll on anything
so dreadful. Let us sing:
Come let us join our cheerful songs,
With angels round the throne
1--WE pray God to forgive our sins.
we ought to pray to be forgiven u
sadness. There is no virtue in mis-
cry. The melancholy person is not
necessarily a superior person; and if
he were the superior person is gener-
ally d~etestable. A face as long as a
fiddle and a voice like a crows will
not be imputed to us for righteous
ness. We shall not go to heaven for
our tears or to hell for our smiles.
Humor is a gift of God as well as pa
thos."
The best way to spend Sunday or
any other holiday, said DR.. Aked, was
to follow Christ's advice to His dici-
pies: Come We yourselves apart into
a desert place and rest awhile"

FRENCH WARSHIP SUNK.
Suspicion Caused by Fire Near
Hoche's Magazine i'm Dock,

Toulon, France.-The battIeship
Hoche had a narrow escape from de-
struction. Fire broke out near her
powder magazine, and to prevent the
spread of the flames the ~battleship
was sunk in a slip adjoining the one
in which the %battleship lena was
wrecked by an explosion, with great
loss of life, on March ~ last.
HI fire, which broke out in the
sailroom, as did the fire which de-
stroyed the French torpedo school
chip Algeciras here on November 25,
1906, resulting in the loss of three
lives, is a mystery, and as this is tho
third confagration to break out on
board ships at Toulon within a month
the incident has created much dis
quietude in naval circles, and a rigid
inquiry is being made.

The jacket is made with fronts,

DIR. Bells Plans.

One of DR.. Bells plans for the sum
mer of 1907, if things went well, was
to put a motor in his kite and SET
what it would do. He has been exs
perimenting for some time with mo
tors and propellers, and drives and
odd-shaped boats with air propellers
OF course, there will be no man in the
kite for the first attempt, and the
trial will be made over water, so that
there will be the possibility of saving
the kite If, or when, it falls. DR.. Bell
has several motors, and If the first
trial gives any encouragement, q
more extensive and elaborate expert
ment will be made, and perhaps
who knows "a man may make the
attempt, flying without cord, with a
motor, and with rudder to steer.
That is the goal in view; between it
and what has been done extends q
great deal of unknown and unex-
plored aerial country, but the man
who is exploring has long scientific
training and large knowledge to bring
to it; better yet, he has the means
and the enthusiasm, without which
an inventors knowledge is of little
-use-From G. H. Claudy's aScien.
