TERRIBLE AND DEADLY BLAST

Its Victims Legs Off = Five
Men Die.

Scranton, Pa, Sept. 2S.-Three citi-
zens and two Italians were blown to
pieces in an explosion of dynamite
while working at Cross Keys cut,

Western railroad, near Tobyhanna.
The citizens are Harry Broadhead

The five men were tamping a hole

A Witty Reply.

A witty but not overindustrious Celt
was one of a street gang. A few min
utes before noon one day he threw
his shovel into the gutter, sat down on
the curbstone and proceeded to light
his pipe. Just then the superintendent
of streets came round a corner and,
seeing Pat, roared out:
Here! What are you throwing
down your shovel for at this time of
day."
''To cool it, sorr,' said Pat.

Herrick's Resolution.

The most important discussion In the
savings bank section of the American
Bankers association, which is in SEES
sion at Denver, Colo, occurred
at the afternoon session when the
questions of postal savings bank and
the guaranty of bank deposits were
taken up. While it was evident that
the sentiment was practically unani-
nous against postal savings, and over
Whelmingly against the guaranty idea,
a. respectable minority tried to prevent
action on the latter question, contend
ing that it was a matter for the con-
ventiOn of all the members of the assoc
citation to decide upon, and not for a
single section.
Wisconsin Man for Guaranty.
John Schuette, of Wisconsin, was
the only speaker in favor of the guar
anty of bank deposits. He opposed
the establishment of postal savings
banks on the ground that it would
establish $4,000 banks in the country
to compete with the other banks of
the country. He favored the guaranty
bank deposit plan in order to avert
the establishment of the postal savings
banks, and declared that the bankers
of the country would have to face one
or the other of these issues.

Ex-Governor Herrick. of Ohio, then
offered a resolution which declares the

When Mr.. Roosevelt first came to

ly more than a chapel, wrote to him
and said that as there was no Dutch
Reformed church in Washington, he
would be pleased IL Mr.. Roosevelt
would worship with his flock.
Mr.. Roosevelt was not then presi-

and said that he would come to his
church, and nearly every Sunday
morning he can be found in his pew
taking part in the service and listen
ing to- Dr. Schick's sermons. Members
Of the congregation say that President
Roosevelt has liking for certain
hymns and that he joins Justify in the
singing of them. There is no choir in
DR.. Schick's church, the music being
rendered entirely by the. congregation,

It is thought that if DR.: Schick's at

The number Of deaths during tho
present congress is three or four times
the usual number for the same length
of time.
The first man to fall since the OPEN
ing of the Sixtieth congress was John
T. Morgan Of Alabama, who died June
II, 1907. A month later his colleague,
Edmund w. Pettus. expired: Decem.
ber %, 1907, stephen R. Mallory OF
Florida passed away. His successor
was William J. Bryan, who died last
March. Asbury c. Latimer Of South
Carolina died February 20, 1908, and
March 4, 1908, Redfield Proctor Of
Vermont was added to the death roll.
The next victim was William p. White
of Maryland. The last and most illus
trious of all was William B. Allison Of
Iowa. the undisputed leader Of tho
upper house.
A noticeable feature in the long roll
of deaths was the fact that most of
the men who passed away were among
the patriarchs of the senate. Senator
Pettus was Sc years, old; Senator
White, 81; Senator Morgan, 83; Sen
ator Allison, r.; Senator Proctor, ~:
Senator Mallory, 60, and Senator Lati-

Abernathy, who is now marshal Of

retary Straus, his immediate superior.
asking for an appropriation of not
less than $14,000,0O0 with which to
take the thirteenth census in 1910.
The cost of the last census, in 1900,
exclusive of the four annual investiga-
tions and two biennial reports due the
same year. was $12.520,O00. The di.
rector estimates that the cost of the
next census, due to the fact that he
now has a regularly organized Office,
viii be only $4,000 more than the
census of 1900.
If the work can be accomplished
for this sum, it will be the first time
in the history of the nation that a
census has been taken and compiled
at practically the same cost as the
prior enumeration. Formerly the in
crease in the cost Of the census from
decade to decade has been about so
per cent, and on this basis the cost
Of the thirteenth census proper, ex-
elusive OF the four annual and the two
biennial reports, would be 1880, 900,
nearly $6,000,000 more than the direc.
tor estimates the actual cost will be.
An important means of bringing
about this saving is the fact that the
bureau will build and own the neces.
sary tabulating apparatus instead of
renting it as heretofore. On July 1,
1905, the apparatus which had been
used in tabulating the census Of 1900
