ENGINEER DEAD IN HIS CAB.
He Had Complained of Pains In Head
and Heart While Making His Run.

Appletown, Pa.-With its engi-
neer, Calvin Frederick, dead in
in its cab, a Lehigh Valley fast freight
rushed past danger signals and
crashed Monday morning into the
caboose of another freight in the Ma
honing yard. Frederick was protected
by the wreckage in such a way that
he could have crawled out had he
been alive when the collision hap
pened. His body was not even bruised,
and his hand was still on the throttle,
though he was terribly scalded. His
fireman and brakeman were badly
hurt.
The engineer complained in Jersey
City when taking out his train, and
again in Easton and here, that he
was suffering from sharp pains in the
head and heart. He was to have mar.
ried Christmas week.

Nearly a thousand bills were in
troduced in the senate Wednesday,
and all of them we're referred to com
mittees, where they will be taken for
consideration after the new senators
shall be given committee assignments.
No other business of Importance was
transacted. Almost all of these bills
were considered at the last congress,
and most of them are private pension
bills.
The resolutions Of Senators Clay
and Culberson, calling on the secre-
tary of the treasury for information
concerning the recent bond issue by
the government, were allowed to go
over until next Monday, when they
will probably be the basis Of some de-
bate.
Among the more important meas
ures introduced were the following:
BY Senator Fulton: Amending the
that a change Of tariff filed with the
interstate commission can
not go into effect, where objection Is
made, until the commission has de-
clared the rate fair.
BY Senator Nelson: Extending the
free delivery service to all towns hav-
ing a postal reevnue of $4,000.
By Senator Burks: Providing for the
teaching of agriculture in normal
schools; free postage on reading mat
ter mailed to the blind, and prohibit
ing telegraph and express companies
from transmitting returns pertaining
to gambling.
BY Senator La Toilette: Requiring
more railroad rates shall be fixed SO
as only to yield a fair return on the
valuation Of the roads property.
Senator Gallinger also introduced
bills prohibiting the sale and trans
portation of poisonous foods and pro-
viding for a monument in Washington
to the private soldiers of the army and
increasing pensions for total deafness.

place of a regular ship subsidy bill
this session, was introduced by Sen.
ator Gallinger.

ing for the state department, the de-
partment Of justice and the depart.
ment Of and labor.

IN CONGRESS
HOUSE.

The newly appointed house com
mittee on banking and currency held
its first meeting Wednesday, spending
two and one-half hours in discuss
ing the currency question in several
of its phases. At the conclusion of
the meeting several of the members
stated that as a result of the confer
ence the members of the committee
were now nearer together than they
ave had been before, Notwithstanding
tn same men-with the exception of
three-composed the committee dur
ing the Fifty-ninth congress.
The only definite action taken at
this initial meeting was the authoriz.
ing from the chair of the appointment
of a subcommittee of five to draft and
submit a currency bill to correct the
present financial situation. There will
be no hearings before the convention
until the subcommittee has finished
its task and the completed draft is in
the hands Of the chairman.
The recurrence of two phases of the
currency question marked the confer
ence These were: The creation of
elasticity in the currency, and the
depositing of reserve balances in ma
tional banks. The committee was ap-
parently agreed that it will sanction
no move to increase the bulk of pa
per money, but will confine itself to
the consideration of the best means
Of injecting elasticity. The plan of
providing for the issuance of national
bank credit notes, which can be in.
stantly drawn into circulation when
general condition require an in
creased currency, and retirement as
promptly as when the need has passed,
was presented and discussed at some
length.
The action of the house committee
on banking and currency at its first
meeting was in line with the we'll
known purpose of Speaker Cannon
and the house leaders to make every
show of earnest effort TO get currency
legislation, and, at the same time,
make the least haste possible. The
purpose in the house is to put the issue
up to the senate. The members Of
the lower body are carefully trying
to create the impression in the coun-
try that they are ready to act, but
will not put a bill through to be emas-
culated, and, perhaps, talked to death
in the senate.
Scores Of currency relief bills al
ready have been cast into the basket
on the speakers desk and have been
referred to the committee. Chairman
Fowler was authorized to appoint a
committee of five to go through the
various bills, select and reject fea-
lures and suggest a committee bill.
A bill providing for prohibition in
the District of Columbia was intro
duced by Representative Lamb Of
Virginia.
Mr.. Gale, delegate from Alaska, Of
fered a bill comforting Upon Alaska a
territorial form of government.
Representative Kipp of Pennsyl-
vania introduced a bill making nation
al bank notes legal tender.
A bill prohibiting railroad compa-
MES from charging a greater rate for
the transportation of freight over short
distances than is charged for longer
distances for the same commodities
and the same class of freight in the
same quantities was introduced by
Representative Hardy of Texas.

A girl at Boydton, Va, has found a
diamond in one of the seed cells of an
apple. The theory suggested is that
some n climbed into the tree which
bore the apple while it was in bloom.
accidentally dropping the setting to
the ring, which fell into the heart of
the blossom, there to remain until the
apple matured and was gathered.
When 1t comes to explaining unnatural
phenomena It must be admitted the
people of Virginia are ingenious. Even
Virgil Eaton must regard them with
respect. 1t is easier to believe the
explanation than the phenomenon.

New York university has opened a
night college which offers regular
academic courses and is empowered to
confer ordinary degrees. At first
sight this seems to belong with the
night court, the "day-and-night" tank,
and other enterprises which keep New
York awake "a hours a day. Yet it
is not a startling innovation, after all,
for night schools have long been es-
tablished in American cities, there
are institutions giving evening in
struction in law, medicine and engi-
neering, and much studying has
always been done by the light of mid
night oil.

night RIDERS
ARE KILLED
PURSUED BY PossEMEN AFTER
SATURDAYS RAID AND SHOT
RESISTING ARREST.
VOLLEy FIRED AT OFFICERS
War of determination Is BSing Waged
BY Determined Tobacco Growers
Soldiers Guard Lexington
For Trace of Fueitlwes.

Lexington, Ky.-Actual warfare
has broken out in the deter
mined efforts of officers and citizens
to exterminate the band of wanton
night riders which ere terrorizing the
entire community.
The first open clash came Monday
morning, when two members of the
gang which fired and terrorized the
city of Hopkinsville Saturday we're
killed in an encounter with officers
and possemen.
The battle was short and decisive.
Several members of the gang were
surrounded, it is said, and to the COM
mand to surrender returned a volley
of shots. The possemen returned the
fire and two of the gang were killed.
The others escaped on their horses.
Saturdays raid at Hopkinsville was
the boldest and most destructive OF
any ever made by the night riders.
After o~verpowering members of the
police and fire departments, the raid
ers fired several tobacco warehouses
and other buildings, shot and perhaps
MORALLY wounded a brakeman, who
was endeavoring to move a string of
loaded freight cars out of the fire
zone, and publicly whipped an asso-
citation tobacco buyer. The loss to
property at Hopkinsville was over
5000, 900.
The death of the two night riders
Monday morning evidences that no
further trifling will be tolerated by
either officers or citizens. The least
resistance to arrest is the signal for
open hostilities, pistol and rife play
and the death Of the desperadoes.
