A DECIDED DIFFERENCE.

=, The Salt Lake Herald has by com
parisOn plainly established the fact
that there is Il difference Here is the
conclusions it draws from the lives of
the two candidates:
The New York Times, upon being
duly sworn takes the witness stand
and stOutly AYERS that William How
ard Taft and William Jennings Bryan
ore different men
"Gou may bet your sweet life that
Taft isn't Bryan or anything like Bry-
;n. Taft has held number of Offices
in his life time, but always by
appointment. Kind friends have push
ed him into prominent places, but the
people have never had IL chance since
his young manhood to register their
opinion of him at the polls. His faith
cr before him was Il federal Office
holder and the natural slpposition is
that he inherited his hankcring.
The Nebraska man who is again he
fore the public as Il candidate for
President of the United States has been
in the political arena for more than
twenty years, depending entirely upon
his own resources unaitlcd.
Without money or powerful friends
MIR. Bryan has succeeded in becoming
the leader of Il great party by sheer
force of intellect. There is no need of
any interference in his behalf. The

Stubborn Fire.

An alarm of fire caused some excite
ment about noon Saturday.
The fire was located in one of the
company houses on the south side of
Centre street and originated in the
chimney. The fire was discovered in
its incipiency and had it not been that
it had communicated to the interior of
the wall. it could have been exiting
uished by few bucketfuls of water.
The Continental hose company was
on the scene of the fire few minutes
after the alarm and by cutting hole
in the slate roof by the side of the
chimney was able to get stream of
water on the fire. The flames were
soon extinguished.
The house is occupied by Charles
Barnhart and stands next to the old
school house, now used as knitting
mill. Had fire gained headway in
the dwelling the knitting mill would
have been in great danger and would
hardly have escaped damage.

Grand Juries Are Useless.

One of the most remarkable arraign-
ments of the uselessness of grand juries
was made by Judge Ssvidge, of North
cumberland county, specially presiding
in Cambria county, last week. Attor-
neys and spectators heard him in open
mouthed amazement.
Said the judge in his charge: In
my opinion, the grand jury is no long
er needed in the courts of Pennsyl-
vanis. The courts can take care OF de-
PENDANTS and see that they get justice.
The higher courts swill surely take
care of them if the lower courts fail,
and the board of pardons will surely
be just. l regard the grand jury mucl
as | would fifth wheel on buggy.
By fifth wheel, do not mean the hall
moon on the front axle. | mean an
extra wheel on four heeled vehicle.
The wheel would be of no use. The
grand jury in these days is of value
only when it sees that the little, petty
cases which ought not to come here,
are not brought to trial. Gentlemen. l
want you to be careful that you don t
send anything to this court that we
ought not to have. When you come to
a case and find nothing in it throw it
out. We have no time or money to
waste on such matters. You serve the
cnunty and are of soma yalue when
you get the poor fellows hailed into
court on petty charges, and the poor
witnesses who are hailed in the cases.
and receive no costs, go back to their
homes. In any case, the petty cases
ought not to get here. 1t is your duty
to see that they don't.

BOTH AIDED IN
KILLING COBBLER

What will undoubtedly prove to be
one of the greatest murder trials in
the history of Northumberland county
will be that of Pimple Face" Joe
Kecheskie at the coming term OF Grim
inal court at Sunbury, when he will
be charged with completely in the
murder Of Cobbler Yessalonis, the aged
Springfield victim. for which crime
Stanney Marcavich has already been
sentenced to hang.
The confession of Stanny Marcavich,
who was convicted OF the crime, will
play an important part in the trial.
Marcavich has confessed that both he
and "Pimple Face" Joe were present
at the murder. Stanny confessed that
he struck the cobbler with a club, fell
ing him to the ground and that Joe,
then seeing the cobbler moving, seized
hatchet and struck the blow which
resulted in the death of the cobbler.
The two men then divided the money
found in the cobbler's shop and ran
away. Joe hurried in the direction
of the Corbin colliery and held up
fellow countryman committing this
second crime in an endeavor to prove
an alibi.
1t developed at the hearing last week
that while running away from the
scene of the murder Joe met Stanuy
Cotaska, a Shamokin ssloonkeeper
who was called as witness. Coatska
testified that on the day Of the murder
he saw crowd of people running in
the direction of the shoemaker shop
and met Pimple Face" Joe walking
in the opposite direction. He said to
Joe, whats the matter down tnere?"
and Joe replied, 1.-The shoemaker is
killed, but | don't know how" 1t
will be remembered that at the Mar.
cavich trial Joe testified that he had
not been near the shoemaker's shop
and did not know anything about the
murder of Yessalonius.
The Northumberland county officials
Saturday endeavored to get Stanny
Maroavich to repeat his former con-
fession but he stated that he would
not leave his cell to testify in the
case. He says he is ready to hang.
Joe was recommitted to stand trial

whom eleven were totally blinded,
ninety three lost one eye, fifty-seven
lost an arm, leg or hand, while 124

Bid EXCEEDED
APPROPRIATION

1t begins to look as though there
might be unexpected delay before the
work on the remodeling of the male
infirmary at the hospital for the in
sane gets under way. Thursday was
the date set for opening the bids for
raising and extending the building.
But one proposal was received, how.
ever, and that was rejected as toe
high.
The plans and specifications, provide
for raising the male infirmary eight
feet. adding another story. The re.
modelling of course carries with it an
extension of plumbing and of the
lighting and the heating systems.
For raising and extending" tht
male infrmary the legislature approp-
rated the sum of $500 which OF
course, is all the money available fol-
the Improvement. The single bid re.
ceived, however, which was from
Mosier and Summers, agreed to re.
model the building as per plans and
specifications for the sum of $40, 900.
This exceeded the amount appropriat
ed for the work by fifteen thousand
dollars.
The only course open was to reject
the proposal and this was precisely
what was done
The board then decided to readver.
tise for bids, setting Thursday, Ooto
ber 1st as the day when they will be
opened. 1t was decided that the plan:
and specifications on which the last
bids were invited be modified in some
particulars. The idea is not to produce
a palmer, less convenient or durable
building, but merely to arrange the
contract in such a way that it may
appeal to builders and result in bring
ing out larger number of proposals.
1t is little too early to assume thai
the plans and specifications as approx.
ed by the Governor call for a build.
ing that can not be built for the sun
Of money appropriated. When the pro
posals are again invited other bidder:
may respond, whose figures will be
within the proper bounds. 1t would
be unfortunate, indeed, if it SHOULD
develop that the remodeling of the
male infirmary as planned can moi
be carried out for the money avail
able in which case the hnspita wonIc
be deprived of an improvement, the
need of which fer years has handicap
ped the institution in its care and
treatment Of one class Of the insane.
