Tuesdays session of the contest

ship showed the candidates for those

preme Judges J. C. Brown and John
Kennish and State School Superin-
tendent William P. Evens did not re-
ceive larger majorities than shown by
the first count.

contest now being conducted by
Judge William C. Marshall for Judge
James B. CAN'T and Henry C. Tim
monds, Democratic candidate for the
Supreme judgeship, and Howard A.
Gass, Democratic candidate for State
Superintendent of Schools. The con-
test is being directed against Judges
Kennish and Brown, and State School
Superintendent Evans, who won the
office on the returns of the last gen.
eral election.
Horace G. Beedle, Republican Sec
rotary of the Board of Election Com
missioners, occupied the witness
chair the greater part of Tuesday,

lieves that he could 90 before the Su-
preme Court and receive a decision

BIG SUCCESS
Attendance Exceeded Expectations,
Every Audience Enthusiastic.
Home Talent Contributes
to Success.

Buffers maiden venture in the
Chautauqua field was indeed tire.
mendous success, both from finan.
cial standpoint and in the pleasing OF
the large audiences in attendance each

of Butler was at the wheel, and with
undiminished vigor the enterprise
was pushed along with steadily gain
ing momentum until the lights were
turned off after the final session Sun
day night, August 10.
To the Commercial Club and espec-
tally to the executive committee ap-
pointed therefrom to manage the
Chautauqua is due the credit for its
undisputed success. No effort was
too great for these gentlemen to make
and no stone but what was moved
from the path of the monster enter
tainment.
The attractions offered the patrons
of the Chautauqua was Of the best
talent the world offers and each num-
Der on the program was enjoyed and
appreciated by all fortunate enough
to attend. In mentioning the pro-
gram, too much credit cannot be
given the home talent participating,
not only the Butler Band taking a
prominent part, but many other
gentlemen and ladies' willingly con-
tributed to the enjoyment of each
session.
The audiences at each session were
large and appreciative, the largest
number being present on Bryan day,
there being about 2, 700 in attendance
at his lecture. The average session
was in the neighborhood
of 1000.
Arrangements are being made for
another Chautauqua next year and
those who boosted this one to a sue
cess have the satisfaction of enrolling
in their assistance many who had been
skeptcal During the closing days
this movement was put on foot and
several hundred season tickets have
been pledged for next years
entertainment.

was docking at pier No. 33, Hamilton

hands heard a scream from the en-
CINE room. and at the same time the
engines grated and then stopped.
Deck hands found the fireman un.
der the engine. his leg wedged be-
tween the fywheel and the floor. The
floor was thick with dripping oil, and
the head of the pinioned fireman was
deep in 1t. Unable to bear the sight.
the men scrambled to the deck, one
almost fainting.
Shaler continued to beg for help.
The engineer started to go to him sew

were made to engineers of other tug
boats. Several went to the engine
room, only to run back to the deck,
white and faint.
A policeman called an ambulance
from the Long Island college hospital.
DIR. Fairness responded. He and his
driver, Joseph Maloney, are used to
horrifying sights. They went to the
engine room. to find Shaler almost
drowned in the pool of oil. The driver
lifted h pinioned mans head and
held 1t free of the oil. DR.. Fairness

the fireman continued to beg to be re-

The men on the ""per deck heard
the pleas Tor death. and they scattered
In every direction in search of a ma

chinery apart.
For three hours the driver held
Shaler's head out of the oil pool, and

wheel was lifted off his leg. DR.. Par

the limb just below the hip. and this
had stopped the flow of blood.
The. maclhinist picked up the still
conscious Shaler and carried him 70

the hospital. where it was found the
bones of his left leg were crushed
from foot to hip. and %splinters, pro-
