States senator, shows that the dead

lican candidates received votes as fol-

In the legislature yesterday the s.
sembly committee on state affairs pre-
sented a substitute for the Stondall
bill prohibiting saloons within a half
mile of the university grounds. OBJ
lection was made to theaStondall bill
in that it did not recognize the fact
that the university grounds might be
extended, thus extending the prohibit
tory district and affecting other sa-
looms not aimed at in the bill, and the
substitute meets this objection. The
new bill reads:
mo license Shall be granted for the
sale of liquors upon any premises
within three-quarters of a mile from
the front door of the main hall of the
state university, nor within fifty feet
of either side of State street in the
city of Madison

FIRE AT FAIR STORE.

A fire started in the store of
Severance & Roberts, known as the
fair store, Tuesday evening about
half past seven o'clock, which re-
suited in injuries to several per-
sons who were in the store at the
time, and caused a great excite
ment for some time, but was ex-
tinguished before it did much dam
age. Fireworks were the cause.
William Gunter, clerk, was show
ing customer some sparklers when
suddenly giant cracker exploded,
burning his face and singeing his
hair. Instantly the entire stock of
fireworks in the window was set off,
fire crackers, rockets, and Roman
candles exploding and flying in
every direction. There were several
people in the store at the time, and
in the wild rush to place of safety
many were injured, some children
being thrown down and trampled
upon.
An alarm was sent in, to which
the fire companies quickly respond
ed and succeeded in a short time in
putting out the blaze.
1t is not known yet to what ex-
tent the damage will reach, the
laces and similar goods were con-
siderably harmed by the water, and
the fireworks stock is an entire
loss, but the greater part of the
store is uninjured Insurance covers
the loss.

hour later at the hospital.
An engine and car carried most
of the injured to Market street,
Sunbury, whence they were remov-

carriages and automobiles carried
many more up to town.
The wreck crew was called and
in about an hour cleared the south

Farmers from nearby localities
say that the tomato crop this year
will be so short that it can practi-
cally be considered failure. The
cold weather of May and June,
while it did not actually freeze the
plants put out in the fields, lower
ed their vitality so much that the
fiercely hot sun of the past few
days has caused a great part of
them to wither.

BUFFALO FLYER AND FREIGHT
TRAIN COLLIDE AT SUNDURY
Two Railroad Men Instantly Killed and a
Third Fatally Hurt.

Buffalo flyer, westbound, was
wrecked in the yards at Sunbury
about I O'Clock Tuesday afternoon.
Two men were instantly killed, a
third fatally hurt, and score of
passengers injured.
The flyer ian into an open switch,
and then into a Lewistown freight.
None of the crew of the freight
were hurt.
The accident happened at the
lower end of the yards. The flyer
was FIVE minutes late and was run
ming at the rate of fifty miles an
hour. The Lewistown freight was
about to pull out of the yards. The
express and baggage cars were
jammed into each other and splin-
tered almost into kindling wood.
Three of the flyers crew were
killed, and about twenty passen-
gers were hurt.
The dead are:
Fireman Frank Macavilla, Will
Transport.
Express Messenger Eyer, of Har-
risbprg.
Assistant Baggagemaster Hunter
of Harrisburg, who died in the hos
pital.
The wreck was caused by an
open switch at the lower end of the
yard near the bridge across the
Shamokin creek. The Lewistown
local intended to take the south
bound track but was switched upon
the track which was being kept
clear for the flyer, already overdue.
When once upon the track the re-
placed switch made it impossible to
return.
The freight was standing on
northbound track and the crew,
having ample warning of the ap-
proach of the flyer, escaped unhurt.
The engineer of the passenger train
could not see the freight which was
hidden behind bend in the road,
and was almost upon it before he
was aware of its presence and could
apply the air brakes. In the COLI
sion both engines were smashed in
to twisted heaps of scrap iron, the
freight train was totally wrecked,
and the baggage car of the flyer
was broken to pieces.
Harry Spangler, of Lewistown,
fireman on the local and G.. P. Mil
Ter, of Lewistown, the hagman,
made the following statement:
1--WE jumped from the train and
ran ahead to flag the passenger
train which we could hear whistling
around the bend. We tried our best
to stop them, but they probably
did not see us and ran at full speed
straight ahead into the tender of
onr engine, which was running
backwards.
William Ulmer, of Harrisburg,
engineer on the flyer, when ques-
toned by reporter said:
"We were running at so miles
an hour to make up five minutes
back time. I thought the track
was clear until we rounded the bend
and saw the freight scarcely fifty
feet away. I threw on the brakes,
but it was too late to jump. My
fireman jumped just before the
crash. He was killed"
Eyer, the express messenger, who
was on his first trip over the divis-
ion, was killed in the express car.
The floor was forced up against the
roof by the car behind and he was
crushed between the timbers.
The mail was scattered broad
cast, and trunks were torn to pieces
and their contents ruined. Many
Sunburians joined in the search for
missing valuables in the debris,
helping guard the trunks from
thieves and rendered great aid to
the injured.
On the same car and in the same
manner, Baggagemaster Hunter was

HARTMAN NOMINATED.
The Democratic Convention Makes Him Their
Choice for State Treasurer.

AS predicted last week, Our popu-
lar townsman, Hon. John G.. Har-
man, was nominated by the Demo
cratic state convention, for the
Office of State Treasurer.
William H. Berry, the present
incumbent of the office, and the
man who first exposed the graft in
the new capitol, was both tempo
rary and permanent chairman, and
he opened with ringing speech.
After the adoption Of the plat
form, the nominating speech was
made by Hon. w. 7. Greasy. He
characterized Mr.. Harman as "a
popular Democrat" and that under
his administration an egotistical
and self-sufficient executive could
not with criminal carelessness or in
supine negligence permit the State
to be plundered by knavish archi-
tect or corrupt contractor. He
added that Governor Pennypacker
slaughtered many just appropria-
tions while he lectured the Legisla-
ture and people on his knowledge
of revenues and now oblivious of
his surroundings and the. passing
events talks of crime and treason,
while he excuses the criminal
traitor"
IIe also said that if Harman is
elected he will learn who is respon-
sible for the cheap railroad excur-
sions to Harrisburg last Fall to in
spect the new Capitol. He charged
that those responsible for those ex-
cursions "shamelessly reported that
every dollar invested was accounted
for and found within" the Capitol.
He concluded with an appeal for
the Democratic party to lead a
crusade against the abhorrent cor
ruption" and to "restore the plum
der and punish the plunderer."
The nomination was unanimous,
no other name being presented. A
committee was sent for Mr.. Har-
man, and on his appearance he was
loudly applauded. He spoke in
substance as follows:
This is not the place nor the time
for any extended discussion of the
issues of the campaign now before
us. At some future time and place
that matter can and will be attend
ed to. 1t is enough to say here that
the issues as outlined by our dis
tinguished chairman, Mr.. Berry,
should be sufficient in my judg-
ment to win any fight waged by the
people in behalf of honest govern
ment. l accept the platform as
one around which all friends of
good government can safely rally.
AS for myself l stand ready to
go out on the firing line in defense
of the principles of that platform,
and pledge you that if elected the
affairs of the Office of State Treas
urer will be administered in the
interest OF all the people, and an
honest effort to show whether that
article of the decalogue Thou
shalt not steal" is in force in Penn
sylvania as applied to Capitol con
tractors and others, and if found to
be SO then to ask that justice be
administered not by the per
pound" b" or "per foot" but by the
"per year" rule.
