Special to the EVENING NEWS.
export, June 23:-Superintendent
Of Streets Fitzgerald asked the Dor
ough council at their meeting last
night for several loads of gravel to
be placed on the streets that are in
bad condition. This request was met
with opposition from Councilman
Smith, who in substance said that II
the Harrison Construction Company
now laying the sewer pipes, did their
work as they should and If Engineer
Clyde Potts and his assistant, Mr..
Reber, lived up to their contract with
the borough in compelling them to
do 1t, there would be no need for a
call for gravel.
A lengthy discussion and heated
argument between Councilman Smith
and Mr.. Reber followed. 1t is
charged by some that the sewer
pipes are full of water on certain
streets and if the joints in the pipes
were tight this condition would not
exist. Mr.. Reber said that 1t was al
most impossible in making over
$4,000 joints to have them all per
feet.
The whole matter was referred to
the street and water committee for
their investigation.
Engineer Clyde Potts asked in a
communication for the payment of
his bill of S93.15 for the twenty-six
blue prints he made Of the sewer
system now being installed. Mr..
Potts sent this bill last December,
but it has been held up since then.

structed to investigate it and report
at next meeting.
A letter from the district superin-
tendent of the Western Union Tel
egraph Company was read saying
they had complied with the bor-
ough's request to remove their wires
on Broad street and, if agreeable to
the council, would turn the poles
now standing over to the Monmouth

pany for their use. This proposition
was acceptable and the clerk was or
dered to notify the Western Union
of the fact.

back, His attitude has been that there was no reason for him to try his case before any jury but tlIat sent by the people from all the corners of the state to try it once in two years, the general assembly. Many legislator has come to Hartford with his mind full of the local view of Macdonald. the view of selectmen and others who couldn't have their own way with him, and returned to tell his townsmen they were "gol darn fools" But Macdonald is going to talk back at his enemies week after next when he gets his hearing before the committee on roads, bridges and rivers, they say. I hope he does. There are things enough he can say.
 Meanwhile we are rsgaled by these local judgeship fights. which have no more place in the general assembly than, they have in the state grange. The judiciary committee has got at them rather late this session and the result will be that fights like that in New Haven will string along until the trading of votes which ensues has it's influence on every bit of legislation of the session Think of it A member will trade a, vote for. the candidate he favors for judge in his home town for a vote on the court of commepe bill | Absurd, you say, But that's just what will happen and the fact that the judiciary commit tee has been SO slow in getting at these matters will only tend to lengthen the session, for 1t takes n good while to fix up these trades.
 Note that I said the court of commerce bill. Two years agoft would have been the public utilities commission bill. but today there's very little ginger in what is said about that bill There are very decided opinions about the other; some men think it panacea and others an invention of the evil one, but it's got itself talked about and that's the main thing.

American Influence In Canada

Wherever the American goes in force and in proportion to his sympathetic reception he leaves as a side issue the indelible impression of his vivid per sonality. Tn such wise he Is changing the sedate old maritime provinces so very rapidly that you can hardly find any difference between them and Maine or Massachusetts. This is in obedience to q natural law which must bring about such results. His man ners, his speech, his coinage his means of communication, whether by land or sea, are entirely reciprocal with Can ada, but as he is mighty and Canada is feeble numerically the greater, as usual, includes the less.--F T.

up in that persuasion and was always taught and trained in christian princi- plea, and as soon as I was able was taught to lisp prayer, and later to pray and ask for the things I needed also, not only to read but to study the bible and to commit it to memory, and many of its passages often come to me with comfort and satisfaction in times of doubt or prosperity or trial. And as David says in the Psalms they often come 10 me as songs in the night and do not remember day of my life when did not read some passages of scripture. And here I will say that think the bible should be the first book in every family library and the most read and studied and the best understood and be memurized and prized above all other books, for believe with Saint Paul, that the scriptures were written by inspira- tion of God and are profitable for doc- triue, for reproof. for correction, for in- struction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect and thoroughly furnished for every good work. They are profitable for all things having prom ise of the life that now is and also for the life which is to come. Some of the sweetest experiences of my life have been in fellowship with christian people In worship and prayer.

Twelve Drowned In Mine.

Twelve men were drowned at Hi
bernia, DT.> j., when a powder blast
destroyed a partition between two of
the shafts in the iron mines of the
Wharton Steel company and let a
great quantity of water, accumulated
in an old shaft, flood the gallery where
they were at work
All the victims were foreigners, ex-
cepting David Slaight, foreman of the
gang, who lost his life in trying to aid
his men.
The accident occurred in what is
known as the New L4augdon shaft
Sixty men were at work there Be-
tween this shaft and the abandoned
one was a partition OF logs. A blast
fired soon after the day shift went to
work weakened this barrier so that
it gave way before the pressure of the
water in the adjoining gallery.
In less than minute the water was
over the miners heads and they were
obliged to swim in the darkness to
ward the opening leading to a higher
level.
The place where they were at work
was about 300 feet below the surface
Those who lost their lives were un
able to swim or were pushed down
by their struggling mates

Ely, the Aviator. Falls to Death.
Eugene Ely, the aviator, was fatally
injured at The state fair grounds at
Macon, Ga, when his machine tailed
to rise from a sensational dip and
plunged with him fifty feet to the
ground.
Ely fell in the presence of nearly
5000 persons to the middle of the in
closure OF the race track, after almost
clearing the machine by a desperate
leap when he realized his peril
He died a few minutes later, re-
gaining consciousness just before the
end long enough to mutter:
Il lost control; know l am going
to die"
He circled the track at about thirty
miles an hour. AS he was completing
the circuit he made a dip.
The machine shot down with tre-
mendous velocity and the crowd ap-
plauded, thinking the aviator would
rise, as he had done many times be-
fore. But Ely seemed to lose his grip,
for the machine continued it's down
ward plunge and he attempted to rise
from his seat. In fact, he released the
lever altogether and half jumped,
barely clearing the aerOplane as it
crashed to the ground. The machine
was demolished and Ely struck with
terrible force.
Ely is survived by a young wife
whom he recently married in Califor-
MIA.
