KILLED IN A WELL.

Sckened by gases caused by the ex.
plosion of dynamite the day before
very probably, Zan Bradford, the wei
known well digger, fell from the buck

eral dynamite cartridges and all oi
them had exploded save one. Tuesday
morning he went down into the vel
again, took out the uneXploded cart
ridge and after he had sent up two cl
three buckets of water and other ma
terials, asked to be drawn up him.
self, saying he was sick. Just before
the bucket reached the top, he fel
out, and upon the recovery Of his BODY
it was found that he was dead. His
neck had been broken.
Mr.. Bradford was about AZ years OF
age and was unmarried. He has beer
living in York and surrounding coun-
ties practically all of his life, work
ing principally at his trade; that OF
we'll digging. He was buried at Del
phos on Wednesday, the funeral being
attended by quite number of rela-

MILLINERY OPENING.

Notwithstanding the fact that yes
terday was an unfaYorable day, parl
Of the time threatening and part OF
the time actually raining, there was a
steady stream of people to Thomson
company's fall millinery opening, and
as usual everybody was pleased with
the tasteful and extensive display of
new goods that had been arranged for
public inspection.
The window displays at the Thorn
son company's always command raw
orable comment, and this seasons dis
play is no exception. The leading fea-
ture of the display is the appearance
Of the handsome wax female figures,
one In each Of the dry goods depart
ment windows, and both giving the
appearance Of being outfitted in ac-
cordance with the most approved skill
Of the best dressmakers. One of the
figures Is clothed just as 1t appears, In
a handsome and expensive tailor-made
coat suit that meets every require
ment up to the last word. The other,
however, Is only draped In black crepe
meteor; but the work Is done with
such skill and taste that only the
sharpest eyes are able to detect the
fact that the neat and handsome tit Is
not also a striking and perfect exam
pie of an unusually high order or
dressmaking skill.
The millinery display proper, con-
sists of a large number of pattern
hats, representing all the prevailing
styles OF the season, and for all ages
and conditions of people, especially the
gay youES misses and maidens as well
as the older matrons and elderly
folks with whom the more sober col
ors and styles are in more appropriate
Keeping. Just few of the hats noted
in passing and picked at random, may
be briefly described as follows:

med in two black quills.

ATTEMPTED TRAIN WREcKINe.

Had the diabolical plan of the mur-
derous miscreant who pulled the spikes
from one of the rails on Crowder's
creek trestle last Tuesday morning,
worked in accordance with evident
expectations, there would have been a
horrifying repetition of the memora-
Bile Fishing creek disaster, except that
the loss Of life would have probably
been greater, because the number of
passengers was larger.
1t was the C. &. NV. No. 10. go
ing north that had such narrow es-
cape. Engineer Bob Smyre was driv-
ing, and Conductor Isaacs was In
charge. Road Master ]. w. Fletcher
also happened to be along. The train
consisted of an engine and four cars,
including three day coaches and all of
the coaches were pretty well filled with
passengers for various points up the
road. A passenger on last wednesday
told of his somewhat exciting expert
ence as follows:
I'VE were on time and were going
along at a pretty lively clip, but in ac-
cordance with the usual schedule; and
with no thought Of danger, when sud-
denly we felt a jolting motion under
meath that sent the shivers through US
and told us there was something
wrong. I did not know what to make
of II for the moment, except that l
knew we were on a pretty high tres
tie and thought 1t was about to COL
lapse. 1t seemed like an age; but 1t
could not have been more than q frac-
tional part of a second before Mr..
Fletcher jumped up and sent into the
engineer a danger signal that stopped
the train, while our coach was still
jolting along the ties. l won't say
positively that it was because Of what
Mr.. Fletcher did that the train was
stopped, but that was the way it look
ed to me. Possibly the engineer dis
covered the danger at the same time
and brought the train to stop on his
own account"
Investigation by the train men and
passengers developed that all the
spikes holding one of the rails had
been removed at point nearly half
way across and that the rail had been
reversed and mismatched so as to in
sure the precipitation Of the train into
the creek fifty feet below. The rail had
been knocked out of position, several
trucks had taken to the cross ties, and
why the entire train with it's big load
of passengers escaped destruction Is a
miracle that has not yet been ex-

There was a careful examination OF
the surroundings for some clue that

the diabolical crime; but nothing could

GARY FOR CHIEF JUSTICE.
AbbeviIIe Man Makes Strong Bid For
Hiuher Office

Associate Justice Gary gave out the
| following at Abbeville last Tuesday:
"The position has ever been regard
ed as an excellent one, one not to be
dragged into politics or to be scram-
| bled for. Until four years ago 1t was
| the unbroken custom to elevate to the
position the senior associate justice.
There Is a very good reason for the
custom, one that will readily suggest
| itself to the thinking. When members
of the court, men who must be daily
associated together, have emerged from
a bitter contest for position, there
remain heart burnings that are not
conducive to the orderly conduct OF
business nor to the best public SER
vice. Being the senior associate JUS
tice had hoped and naturally expect
ed that the precedent would not again
be ignored. During the time that l
have been on the bench 1t has been my
earnest endeavor to maintain the dig
nifty of the office, to be courteous to my
brethren of the bar, and above all, to
hold the scales evenly between all liti-
gants, whether they be individuals or
corporations whether they be rich or
poor. Whether or not have succeed
ed in this endeavor the lawyers OF the
state know. If in view of my record
il should please the bar and the legts-
lature to promote me, l would appre-
ciate the honor. If not, I shall cheer
fully acquiesce in their judgment
When on the former occasion the pre-
cedent was broken 1 was told by some
of my friends that unless I frequented
the lobbies of the hotels and canvass
ed for the place l would be defeated.
my reply then was that l would rath-
er go down in defeat having upheld
the dignity of the court than to be
successful by methods that do not
comport with this high office.
For the information of those VINO
desire to know of my position, I again
state that l shall not make a canvass
for the place nor will / subject my
friends to the trouble and expense of
maintaining a lobby or of prosecuting
a canvass i'm my behalf. / shall not
write one member of the legislature
soliciting his support nor ask my
friends to do so, but If in the judg-
ment of the Legislature 1t is thought IN
the fitness of things 1 should be pro-
NOTED their action will be gratefully
appreciated. If not l shall continue as
in the past to serve the people OF the
state to the best of my ability with
an eye single to the dignity of the Of
flee and having no concern as to
whether litigants are of that house.
