County-Assessor Bordages Wide-awake.

County assessors through the State
are much befuddIed in the preparation
of the personality assessment rolls fol
1919, because of the numerous changes
made by the Legislature at its recent
session.
Some of the assessors are just waking
up to the fact that they will be forced
to do their work over again, and have
new blanks printed, owing to the
changes in the taxing laws that require
the listing of typewriters, automobiles.

of interest in excess of 6 per cent, and
various other items added by the law

Titanic In Name, Titanic In Catastrophe.

\ History of man has no record and ths
catastrophe no parallel as the marine
disaster Of Sunday night and Monday
morning when the greatest ship mar
ever conceived and built went down in
to the north Atlantic sea, carrying to
destruction the greatest number of peo-
Iple ever drowned in an ocean accident.
The Titanic, four city blocks long, on
her maiden trip from England to this
country, ,collided with an ice berg Sunday
| night at about 10 o'clock while plowing
the ocean alta rate of Is knots an hour,
attempting to break all records, and
four hours later the great leviathan was
no more, save for its resting on a.sandy
bottom two miles below the surface of
the water, carrying with it some 1895
souls, and about 745 saved by means of
lifeboats and later in the morning pick
ed up by Europe bound steamer that
had responded to the cry of the wireless
message for succor.
The ship of rescue reached New York
Thursday night and the experiences re-
lated by the survivors, as graphically
told in the columns of the daily press,
is not only pathetic and heart-rending,
but sickening in the horror of the de-
details-a history that will live in the
annals of man for aye.
The loss of life is apalling! The loss
of a number of Americas foremost
minds and masters of success in private
and public life is noted, and while much
is being told half of the story of the mid
night catastrophe on an ocean in Sty-
gian darkness will never be told for over
half of the victims sank to rise no more.
Perhaps it's better so!
Titanic in name and titanic in catas-
trophe! This ship was the latest evo-
lution-the very latest thought in the
science of boat building, and it's length
of over one-sixth of mile is difficult
to contemplate in immensity. "Titanic"
was appropriate, indeed, but how ghast-
ly satirical
Equipped with colossal engines, with
wireless, with signal bells, with instru-
ments to tell of her proximity to ice
bergs, with water tight compartments,
yet in that graveyard off the banks OF
Newfoundland, which has claimed host
ages from the men who go down to the
sea in ships since the Northmen drove
their galleys into the West. the Titanic
ends an uncompleted voyage.
However, this is an age of colossal
things-if victories are colossal, defeats
are big in proportion. If big ships are
made they carry big crews and big lists
of passengers, and when they drive into
force big enough to resist there must
be big loss, both in property and in
human lives.
If we build ocean liners to carry three
thousand passengers loss of three
thousand passengers is not improbable.
Not all the contriyances that spring
from the creating brains of the inventor;
not all the precautions that scientific
minds may provide can reduce to moth
ing the element of risk and take the
truth out of the proverb, in the midst
of life we are in death.

Pray God For Mercy While
Hail Stones as Large as a

Der Painted from Sheer
Fright and Factory Had to
Stop Operations Until the
Excitement Was Over.


The people of Dunbar had an exper-
ience Wednesday that they will remem-
Der long, and which caused a few OF
them to pant from sheer fright.
At about 2 o'clock the clouds seem to
open and let down deluge of hail abont
the size of hens egg, which lasted for
three quarters of an hour, followed by a
cloud burst, which left about eight or
nine inches of water on the ground.
The factory had to stop operations
until the excitement was over, as the
people were so.panic- stricken that they
would do nothing but sing hymns and
praise God for mercy. according to a
press telegram TO the New Orleans press.

Death List Growing
And Other Victims
Are Expected to Die

CORNING, N. Y, July 5.-With
twenty-five bodies remaining unidenti-
fed, and with many of the injured in
an extremely dangerous condition, the
horror of yesterdays rear-end collision
on the Lackawanna railroad continues
to grow. Many of the bodies whose
identity has not been learned will prob
ably never be recognized. so terribly
mutilated are they. The death list to-
day was forty-one. In addition Nellie
Schandel, of Newark, N. j., and James
Groffith were declared by doctors to be
dying, and six others were not expected
to recover.
The wreck was the worst in the his
tory of the road, whose boast previ-
ously was that only two passengers had
been killed on 1t since 1900. The road
officials blame Engineer Schroeder. He
was in the cab of train II, which
crashed through the standing Buffalo
limited. The company officials say that
danger" that the block in which the
limited was stalled was also set against
II, and that f1agman from the limited
tried to stop Schroeder half a mile from
the scene of the disaster. Schroeder
says that the signal was at clear and
that he saw no flagman. He insists
that the fog which had welled in from
the Chemung river was SO dense that
II was almost impossible to see the
track a trains length ahead.

The police admitted today that bodies
Of the dead and dying were robbed as
they lay in the open fields beside the
tracks. Coroner smith has detailed

Sheriff Sullivan is protecting the prop
erty of the victims which was picked
up from the wreckage and stored near
the temporary !norgue.
Representatives of the State Public
Service Commission and of The Inter-
state Commerce Commission are on the
ground personally investigating the
wreck.
The wreck took place on a curve that
ends a stretch Of ten miles Of straight
track which is a favorable point fol-
engineers to make up lost time. and
No. II was no exception TO this rule.
Chief Inspector H. w. Belnap, of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, left
here today to assist two other Govern
menr wreck experts In fixing blame for
the disaster at Corning, N. Y, yester-
day, on the Lackawanna railroad. A
report is not expected for several days.
The inspectors are specifically directed
by law to ascertain whether any viola
tion OF the safety appliance laws caused
the wreck.
