Uses For Baby Carriages.

East siders In New York use their
baby carriages until they literally fall
apart. OF course the primary purpose
is served well and often, as the fam
lily is generally a good sized one. Then
the carriage is used for a market and
shopping wagon. being piled high with
potatoes, greens. fruit and household
goods Of all kinds from neighboring
stores and push carts. The east slider
doesn't often have his things sent
home. He's not sure he would get
what he had bought. Then the little
boys are sent out to hover around new
buildings or old ones being demolished
and gather in wood to be pushed home
In the baby carriage. On other occa-
sions 1t is piled high with garments
being rushed to or from the sweatshop.
Sometimes packages of laundry are
delivered from it. and. again. 1t is
filled with coal. When II is finally
worn out 1t furnishes little fuel and
four hoops for the children to play
with.-New York Press.

A LONG DRINK.
The Way q Fast Running Locomotive
Scoops Up Water.


Some of the great transcontinental
engines take on 5000 gallons, or 2I5
barrels. of water TO be turned into
steam for the next run OF two hours, or
about sixty miles. But such a vast
amount of water Is a burden, and new
supplies are desired oftener. 1t il a
loss Of time to stop and let such vast
quantities come aboard through q pipe;
hence some way OF taking water while
rushing at full speed In desirable. Ii
has been found. How?
If you make a scoop of your hand
and swing it swiftly. the hollow side
forward, into water some Of Ii will
be likely to squirt up your sleeve That
is natures hint. Follow it up. Find
level place in the road and put down
an iron trough four inches deep, four
teen inches wide and one-eighth of
mile long. The engine comes rushing
along and. having passed the end. drops
a scoop into this trough There is a
general splutter of water, but q ire
mendous stream rushes up the sleeve
of the dropped hand and pours into the
water tank. When 1t Is full the 1re-
man raises the scoop or 1t glides up
the slope at the far end Of the trough,
and the engine is watered for the next

Work Shows Democrats Will
Control House and Re-
pubIicanS the Senate.
ONE DISTRICT Is IN DOUBT.
OFFICIAL RETURNS SHOW THAT
THERE WERE BUT FEW CLOSE
BATTLE.

indianapolis, Ind. Nov. IA Com
pilation of the vote cast in all OF the
legislative districts of the state, both
for senators and representatives, was
completed today, with the exception OF
one representative district. The dis
trict about which there is some ques-
ton is that made up of Cass and Full
ton counties. If investigation shows
that democrat has been elected there
the democrats will have fifty-nine
members in the next house and the
republicans forty-one. If it should be
shown that a republican has been
elected there the democrats would
have fifty-eight and the republicans
forty-two. 1t is believed that the re-
turns will show that democrat was
elected.
Compilation of the vote for state
senators, shows that he republicans
will have twenty-seven members in the
senate, while the democrats will have
twenty three. OF the twenty-seven re-
publieans seventeen will be followers.
The republicans succeeded in electing
only ten senators at the last election.
| OF the twenty-three democratic mem
| bers only eight will be holdovers. The
democrats at the last election got tif-
| teen senators.
Majority of Fourteen.
| If it be shown that a democratic rep
resentative has been elected in the
district of Cass and Fulton the demo
Gratis will have a majority of fourteen
on Joint ballot by the two houses. If
it should be shown that the republican
candidate was elected in that district
the majority of the democrats on joint
ballot will be only twelve.
At the Office of the secretary of state
it is believed there is little doubt
that inquiry will show that he demo-
! cratic candidate was elected in the
Cass and Fulton district. The returns
as presented at the Office of secretary
of state showed that George Rents.

ceived 6,643 votes, while Alfred Sibert

PASSENGERS FACE
TERRIBLE PERIL

While the Pottsville Flyer was run
ming at the rate of 40 miles an hour,
Monday evening, the tire of one Of
the driving wheels broke, which caus-
ed derailment OF the locomotive.
The passengers were, badly shaken up
aud given fright, although it
was not until afterward that they
realized the full extent of the peril
they had faced.
The accident Occurred at Port"
siding, a point'about four miles above
Nescopeck, where the flyer" attains
a maximum of speed. The siding,
which is a long one, was crowded with
cars. While running alongside the
cars at the velocity above described
the tire on the driving wheel broke
into four pieces.
In an instant the locomotive left the
rails Under the heavy momentum
with long train of cars crowded
with passengers behind it the disabled
locomotive ploughed along over the
ties Tor three hundred yards.
Owing to the broken tire the engi-
neer could not apply the air.
The cars on the siding added much
TO the danger, for had the derailed
locomotive as it jolted along over the
ties struck the cars on the siding moth
ing would have prevented a dreadful
wreck. AS it was, although the coaches
did not leave the track, the passengers
were thrown about pretty roughly.
The flyer" is due to arrive at Nes-
copeck about p. m. The track was
blocked for several hours due to the
accident. The escape OF many people
is considered quite remarkable as all
the conditions favored a dreadful
wreck

AS Viewed By
A DANV|LLE MAN

w. A. Sechler, general manager Of
the Danville Stove and Manufacturing
company, has returned from a three
weeks trip to the Pacific coast. The
trip was madeFpurely in the interest
of the manufacturing business that
Mr.. Sechler. represents. During the
long trip across the continent he nat
urally acquired great deal of in
formation relating to the general con-
dition of business and the industrial
outlook that.persons would do we'll to
take into account before arriving at
any we'll defined forecast for the fu-
ture
Mr.. Sechler says it is quite evident
that the business depression is general
and that it affects all lines. Never
theless taking our great country in it's
entiretyrthere are signs of revival.
Indeed speaking of the western half Of
our country the revival is at hand and
buying has begun. The Danville Stove
81 Manufacturing company for some
time past as.had an agency at San
Francisco and during Mr.. SechIer's
visit another agency was established
at Los Angeles. Mr.. Sechler sees moth
ing whatever discouraging in the out
look for the stove trade on the Pacific
coast as relates to the Danville stove
and Manufacturing Go. Incidental
ly, it might.be stated that of all the
stoves used in California fully 80 per
cent. are manufactured east of the
Mississippi river.
California having a tropical
climate there is little demand for
heaters; cook stoves and ranges have
the call. The trade from the Pacifi
coast is so considerable that the Dan
vile Stove & Manufacturing company
has decided to modify one or more of
its lines in demand in that section so
as to adapt them to the burning of
soft coal. which is almost exclusively
used in California. The price of hard
coal (S26.00 per tom is practically
prohibitive on the Pacific coast; soft
coal retails at $16. 90 per ton.
Things are rapidly readiusting them
selves after the prolonged industrial
tie-up caused by strikes. Building,
operations in San Francisco have re-
sumed A number of structures are
already completed Sky scrapers seem
to be the rule, built of steel or wholly
of concrete. The SanEFrancisco of the
future will be wonderful city, but
Mr.. Sechler says that it will require
at least ten years to complete it,
Naturally the building of this great
city creates demands along so many
lines that businesssis quickened along
the whole Pacific coast. During his
trip Mr.. Sechler spent some time at
Pittsburg, Chicago, Salt Lake City,
San Francisco and Los Angeles, and
being closely in touch7' with business
relating to each of those centres he
made de ductions as stated above that,
taking the country in its entirety. we
are on the eve of a general revival.
Business, he says, maybe slow, for six
months but improvement will follow.
