Five See Mother Roasted.

York, Pc, May 24.--Her flesh burn
ed almost to a crisp as the result Of an
accident while boiling soap Wednesday
evening, Mrs Ambrose Limbaugh, about
40 years old, of Dover, this county, died
early yesterday morning. The soap was
in a big iron kettle over a wood fire in
the open kitchen hearth, when some OF
it splashed out, and the burst OF flames
ignited the woman's garments. Bewild-
cred, she ran screaming into the yard,
followed by her lS-year-old daughter
Mabel, who was herself severely burned
in brave 6tfjrt to beat out the fire. As
tie woman fell writhiug in the grass,
with her hair and clothing burned away
and her skin hanging in strips, five
younger children, stricken almost dumb
with grief AMI horror, gathered helpless.

tenderly into the house, and with her

An inspection recently made under
the auspices of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany showed that an eighteen-hOur Chi
cago flyer of the Pennsylvania Railroad
had left twenty broken rails in its trail
as the result of single trip from New
York to Chicago. This astonishing dis
closure alone would point to the imper-
alive need of increasing the strength Of
the rails used in This country proportion
atcly to the increased weight and speed
of the trains they are required TO besr.
The Engineering News insists that "the
railroads hsve been so. anxious to get
rails that they could not afford to hold
the steel companies too strictly to the
specifications of the engineers" This
is no doubt true. The failure on the ODE
hand to make good rails and on the
other to insist on stipulated quality when
considered with reference TO the conse-
quent destruction of life in railway smash
ups must be esteemed a criminal reck-
lessnes'. The Engineering News further
declares that if the steel companies were
forced to produce high grade rail Of
ordinary steel there would be no further
trouble. The large price obtained for
rails aud the large profits OF the steel
companies, assured to them by govern
mental iavoritism, ought to insure to the
purchasers of the rails and to the travel
ing public who ride upon them the great
est possible care in the process of pro-
duction. But the steel trust isn't doing
business on a humanitarian basis.

Attacked Industrial Magnatss.

Kansas City, No., May 24,-Mentiou-
ing no names, Justice w. G. Gsynor, OF
New York, attacked certain industrial
magma les at the Kuife and Fork dinner
here last night. He made the point that
the railroads, or iron highways were just
as much public highways as the dirt
roads aud tina! everyone had the right to
use them at the same rates of toll with
out discrimination. He said that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has not friend in Wall
street, that Wall street calls him danger
Gus. "But' Gsynor said, she is not
dangerous to the honest man." Gsynor,
a democrat, said: 'I strongly hope that
ROosevelts successor will be the kind OF
a man who will continue his policies to
the end" Gaynor attacked judges who
accepted passes and private cars.

Movement Against Gas Company.

New York, May "a. - Attorney Ger
eral Jackson today applied to the Su-
preme Court Justice Davis for an order
to cite the Con solidated Gas Company to
show cause Why The charter and frau-
chises of the company should not be an
uuIled. The order is returned May 28.
The action of the Attorney General is to
assist in the fight to obtain so cent gas
for Greater New York. In his recent
report against so cent gas Mr.. Masten,
the master appointed by the Uoited
State Circuit Court placed a valuation of mil
lions Of dollars on certain unexpired fran
chses of the company, arguing that On this
val uation the company could not sell gas at
the figure named in the law probably. jack
sons purpose is TO annual the franchises so
that The enormous valuation placed upon
them cannot defeat the so cent law.

DISPATCHES from Chicago giving
Senator Hopkins az authority for the
statement that Speaker Cannon, ii q
presidential candidate, will favor a revi'
sion of the tariff at a special session Of
Congress in 1909, coupled with the vote
of the National Association of Manu-
faclurers on Friday in favor Of such ievi-
sion, indicate that there is growidg
popular conviction that the time is near
ly ripe for the overhauling of the Ding
lev schedules. President Roosevelt has
expressed desire to have the present
schedules amended either in 1908 OF
1909, and the ACCESSIBILITY Of revision has
als1 recently been urged by Senator
Allison, Senator Aldrich, ex-senator
Spooner ard his successor, Senator
Stephenson. By 1909 the Dingley Law
Will hsve been in operation twelve years
Logger than the average life OF an
American tariff measure. Even the New
York Tribune, the exponent of high
tariff, has this to say of the Dingley
law.
1t was passed to fit conditions which
no longer exist. 1t was bridge from
one stage in our industrial aud CONNER
cial expansion to another, and now that
the new stage has been reached We
should be ready to remodel the out-of'
date construction. A tariff must be
changed to meet conditions, and only
the most myopic "staudpatter' will
contend that our trade and industrial
relations in 1907 bear any close resem-
blance to our trade and industrial rela-
tions ten years ago. The Dingley rates
are in many cases out of touch with
present national needs, and both for
purposes of revenue and for purposes Of
rational protection could be altered to
advantage.

RfOtOIls Women.

Rome, May 24.-Women have been
the instigators of serious riOting which
has occurred at Terni. A strike is in
progress among employees of the iron
works. Yesterday women invaded the
works their husbands had lett and tried
to drive out strike-breskers. When the
new men refused to leave the women
resorted to breaking the windows and
damaging the property in every way
possible. 1t was necessary to call out
troops to dispense the mob. Today q
similar outbreak occurred, although there
was not as much violence as yesterday
aud more serious trouble is feared.

FRIDAY EVENING. MAY "a, 1907.

To-Day is the 46th anniversary of the
occupation of Alexandra by the federal
troops, the killing of Colonel Ellsworth
and James w. Jackson in the Marshall
House and the sudden evacuation OF the
CITY by the Confederate soldiers. Amorg
the latter were members Of the military
companies of Alexandra, who had en-
listed for the maintenance Of their sover-
eign States and the rights accorded Ter
when she entered the federal compact at
the close of the revolutionary war. In
cidentally they had cast their lot with
the Southern Coniederacy which had
previously been formed for the perpetual
ton of Southern rights which at that time
were menaced by the election of re-
publican president who had been re-
undated by every Southern State. This
chapter in the history of Alexandria is
urobsbly the most important. The
country had entered a crisis which por-
tended long struggle, and the Alexan'
dria boys in taking hssty adieux OF rela-
tiyes and friends realized The fact that
the time of their return and reunion
with those they loved was uncertain
Some never returned, and the services
today will be testimonials to such IS fell

never been reliuquished notwithstand-
those who batlled for them were outing
nubered and eventually compelled to
succumb in the unequal contest. The
survivors of the Army Of Northern Viz

Leo Camp Of Confederate Veterans today
as on previous occasions will honor the
memory of their former comrades. The
services, which will be impressive, will
be on lines formerly followed by the
remnant of the faithful band, whose
ranks are being gradually depleted by
the ravages of time.
