CLERGYMAN OPPOSES PROHIBITION.

OPPOSES PROHIBITION.
 We will undoubtedly be misunder- stood by some. but I believe it will be recognized sooner or. later that there are two sides to this question. The well meaning champions of total prohibition have bad the floor for a long time; they have been supposed to speak the only possible word of the church, the clergy and all believ- CTS in the highest good Of human ity. They have had this chance un- disturbed. and have apparently failed For fifty years, Maine has ranked as total prohibition state; with what unfortunate results are well known. Vermont. having tried prohibition for some years, has abandoned it by vote of her people. In the places of their undisturbed triumph. results have been most unfortunately the opposite of what was expected. Is it too much now 10 ask that we clergy and others. who have quite as deeply the welfare of humanity at heart, should be heard ? We have long remained silent because the field seemed fully occupied by the nervous activities of advocates of so-calIed temperance. Now. some Of us would like 10 say a word in the same cause. animated by as high and philanthropic purpose as that of others who have labored for good. but starting from entirely different prem ises. Those who have hitherto worked for temperance have adopted the shib boieth that te use of spirituous liquors is sin. This I believe the majorit! of persons in any American commu Eity would absolutely deny We. wh' believe in freedom of choice as t meats and drink. view with equal con cern and disapproval the sad result of over-indulgence in strong drink. Il venturing into the field of practice politics. we are conscious of the dar ger of being misunderstood and mi: quoted. Many persons do not rightl grasp the distinction between tempe ance and prohibition, confusing tn terms and confounding the issue. The are arguing in all sincerity from fsls premises. It is to be remembere that total prohibition is legal es actment. proved by experience to D unsuccessful in fact. and at best al pealing to nothing higher than sens of obedience to a state law. whil temperance is a Christian virtue. el nobIing him who practices it.

When the party got to Everett
they found the machines had not
been unloaded from the car at the
railroad station, and by the time
they got the machines away from
the railroad and got them prop.
erly tuned up, it was four o'clock
in the evening. To add to the
pleasure of the trip, 1t began to
snow aoout half past eight o'clock
in the morning, and by the time
they were ready for the return
trip, there was about six or eight
inches of snow on the mountains;
but the machines behaved splen.
didly. At Breezewood, 18 miles
west of McConnellsburg, it was
so dark that the lamps on the ma
chimes had to be lighted; but the
machines were driven on across
the mountains through a blind
ing snow storm, without the
slightest delay or accident.

FLY WHEEL BURST.
Charlie McKinstry Instantly Killed at
Byron Tannery, Mercersburg
Last Friday Evening.
FRANK DURBOROw SERIOUSLY INJURED

With the bursting of a fly
wheel at the Byron Tannery IN
Mercersburg last Friday even
ing, Charles r. McKinstry, night
watchman, was instantly killed,
and Frank Durborrow, the night
fireman, was very seriously, If
not fatally, injured.
The noise of the explosion was
heard but short distance from
the plant and very few people
knew of the accident until next
morning. A slster.In. law of Mr..
Durborow was with him when
the accident took place but sue
ceeded IN getting out of the
building without injury
She gives this version of the
accident; it was about 9:10 O'Clock
when something occurred to the
governor and the fly wheel began
moving very rapidly. Both men,
Mr.. McKinstry and Durborow
ran to turn Off the big steam
valve but before they succeeded,
the wheel burst and both men
were struck by flying pieces of
the wheel. 1t is believed that a
piece OF the broken wheel struck
the main steam pipe and broke it.
The men were enveloped in steam
and were stunned.
The body of McKlnstry was
discovered near the door, show
ing that he was either thrown
across the room a distance of
twenty feet or succeeded IN crawl
ing that distance before death
came.
Mr.. McKlnstry was of prom
lnent family. His grandfather,
William McKlnstry, came from
Ireland IN 1892 and settled in
Mercersburg. He was a per-
sonal friend of President Bu-
chanan and was instrumental in
having Marshall college located
In Mercersburg. In 1912 he
established the first newspaper
blished in that town.
Mr.. Dorborow is in the hospi-
tai IN Chambersburg with a fair

SAD SHOOTING ACCIDENT.
Gertrude Ross, Of HOpewell, Accidental
ly Shot by Her Brother.

A distressing shooting accident
occurred at the home of James
Ross, q farmer residing near
Hopewell, Bedford county, on
Thanksgiving eve, which resulted
in fatal wound inflicted on Ger
trude Ross, IA year-old daugh-
ter, by the accidental discharge
of gun in the hands of her broth
er, Joseph, aged 19 years.
A noise had been heard about
the corncrib and Joe got a gun to
go out to investigate. 1t was a
double barreled breech loading
shot gun, and after loading 1t, as
he was fixing lG for service, a load
was somehow discharged and en-.
tering the body of his sister, who
was engaged at sweeping the
kitchen at the time and was only
about ten feet distance facing her
brother. The load entered at the
shoulder and passed through her
body, lodging back of the should.
er blade.
The shock and pain were very
severe upon the girl and she was
greatly weakened by the loss of
blood, before the arrival of a
physician. The doctor who was
called at once saw the serious
character OF the wound and after
giving temporary treatment ad
vlsed her removal to hospital.
This was done on Thursday
morning when she was taken TO
the Altoona hospital. Her condl.
ton was very critical when the
hospital was reached, and no at.
tempt was made then to remove
the shot. Poor hopes were held
out for her recovery at the time
but the child fingered until 4:1O
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon
of last week when death claimed
her. Her aunt, Miss Tillle Ross,
OF the logan House, was at her
bedside when she died. The
body was brought to Hopewell
for interment. The parents and
two brothers, Clarence and Joe,
surviveher. Everett Republican.

SH0CKINGLY BURNED.
Mrs. Laura Welch'S Clothing Caught

On Friday of last week, Mrs.
Laura Welch, of Burnt Cabins,
purchased two nice dressed hogs
from Mr.. Lemual Cline and had
them cut up Friday evening. Sat.
urday morning, Mrs. WEIGH pro.
ceeded to render the lard in a
kettle over an open fire near the
house. After having stood by
the kettle stirring the lard, she
turned to walk away, when her
skirts became ablaze from the
fire under the kettle. Realizing
the danger, she rushed into the
house, and grabbed up some rugs
and attempted to wrap them
about her; but instead of smoth.
ering out the fire, the rugs began
to burn, and she was obliged to
run into q bed room, and
wrap herself In the bedclothing.
The bedclothlng IN turn caught,
and the house was threatened
with destruction, when she ran
screaming out of doors, cries at.
tracted the attention of neigh.
bors who went to her rescue.
Mrs. Welsh was terribly burned,
and her copdition has been very
critical since. 1t was only about
a year ago that her sister, Mrs.
McGowan's clothing caught fire
IN much the same way, but Mrs.

mind, tore her burning skirts
from her, and thus averted what
