Near Tragedy
Last Evening
Man Blinded By Snow Storm
Wandered Off the Road
And Fell In Creek.

Last evening about nine o'clock a gen.
tleman from New Bethlehem, Charles
]. Kah, who was not familiar with the
curves In Reynoldsville streets, got of
the sidewalk near the Ross House and
blinded by the snow storm raging, wan
dered to the embankment OF Sandy Lick
creek, just above the bridge, and slip
ped In. The water was deep and icy
cold and but for prompt assistance from
men at the Ross House would probably
have resulted fatally for the gentleman
who fell In.

The senate rejected the increase of

to eliminate from all forest reserves
the public lands not timbered and to
restore such public lands to location

the United states and the amendment
had been accepted by senator War

Of senator Isaac Stephenson contend
that stephenson was elected United

Taking the stand that Stephenson
was elected on separate ballot, his
supporters secured certificate of
election signed by Governor Davidson
and countersgned by Secretary of
State James A. Frear
The separate ballot gave stephen
son sixty votes in the assembly, a
clear majority and twelve of the sew

Lieutenant Governor John Strang
who presides over the point assembly
when a ballot for United States sem
ator is taken, has steadfastly refused
from time to time to entertain a mo-
ton that Stephenson was elected on
separate ballot, each time ruling the
motion out of order and ordering ~the
clerk to call the roll.
Since the balloting in joint session
began Senator Stephenson has failed
