Six Killed i'm Wreck.

Philadelphia, Jan. 14.-Six per-
sons, five women and a man, were
killed when an express train on the
New York division of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad crashed into a light
station wagon at the Linden avenue
grade crossing in Torresdale, a sub
urb, to-day. The dead are:
Charles Davidson, aged so years;
Nellie O'Connor, aged 19 years; Bird
get Malloy, aged "a years; Agnes Gar
ity, aged % years; Agnes Gallagher,
aged IS years; Mary Roddy, aged 20
years.
The dead women were all employ
ed as servants in fashionable homes
in Torresdale, and were being con-
veyed to church when the accident oc-
Cured. Davidson was the driver, for
a local liveryman and had been max
ing the trip every Sunday for the past
two years. The Linden avenue cross
irg is usually guarded by watchman
but the regular man was on leave OF
absence, and his substitute had not
appeared when the coach reached the
crossing.
Davidson waited for freight train
to pass and then drove directly in
front of the approaching express.
The horses managed to clear the
track, but ,the engine struck the
wagon square on the side. Davidson
and Agnes Garrity who were seated
on the front seat were tossed to the
side track, but the four other women
were thrown directly under the
wheels of the train and when their
bodies were recovered were so badly
mutilated that it was necessary to
idetifed them by their clothing.
Agnes Garrity was still alive when
she was picked up but died while be-
ing conveyed to Torresdale station.
Davidson was dead when his body was
found fifty feet from the tracks.

Bereft Hubby Won't Eat.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-Albert Braun,
manager of a speciality company here,
has been deserted by his wife and as
serts that he will eat nothing until
she returns.
She has been gone nearly 4S hours
and Braun declared last night that he
had partaken of no food since she
left.
When Mrs Braun went away she
left a note telling him that she was
leaving because she thought she was
a hindrance to his success. That day
he received an increase in salary. He
hurried home to tell of ner his luck
but when he arrived there she was
gone. The couple had been married
less than a year.

New York, Jan. 15.-Violet B.

was arrested this morning at the
corner of First avenue and Seventieth

ton. She had been working in the
neighborhood as nurse, taking care
of a sick woman.

here over a month ago with the idea
of seeing the world. She declared
that no man had anything to do with
her leaving home.
The girl is worth 100000 and
disappeared from her Chicago home
on November 25. Kidnapping was
suspected at first.

fully remind them that anything
worth having never came without
effort, and if they want railroad
they will have to make some effort to
to get it. y, If they are in earnest in
this matter, they might get together
and send a committee to Bamberg
to confer with the promoters of the
ENTERPRISE or those engaged in build
ing the road. But if the citizens OF
smoaks do anything it should be done

The Bench's Distinction.

A long-winded attorney was ar
guing a technical case before one OF
the judges of the superior court in
a western State. He had rambled on
in such a desultory way that it be-
came very difficult to follow his line
of thought, and the judge had just
yawned very suggestively.
With just a trace of sarcasm in
his voice the tiresome attorney ven
tured to observe: Il sincerely trust
that | am not unduly trespassing on
the time of this court.
My friend" returned his honor,
there is a considerable difference
between trespassing upon time and
encroaching upon eternity. Lip

Hayne F. Rice, Esq, of Aiken, the
new judge of the second circuit, was
born and raised in Bamberg county
and practiced at the Bamberg ba"
for several years before removing to
Aiken. However. while he is Bam-
berg man, we suppose if he had re-
mained in Bamberg he would never
have been elevated to the bench. as
it seems to be the policy of all other
counties in the second circuit not to
give Bamberg anything. We shall
contend for the solicitorship this
year, however, and we feel that we
ought to have it. We have the man
for the place and it is only simple
Justice that this county have some
consideration.

1t is very evident that the mem

have a prejudice against voting for
mmbers of the senate for any posi-

those in position to know, that had
not Geo. H. Bates, of Barnwell, been
a member of the senate he would
have been elcted judge last week. He
received the vote of every senator ex-
cept three, and this seems to have
been resented by members of the

Bills have been introduced in both
the house and senate by the Orange
burg county delegation providing for
an election in that county on the
question of dispensary or no dispen-
sary. AS Orangeburg is an adjoin-
ing county to Bamberg, it would be
we'll to include this county in the act.
Certainly we do not want this coun-
ty flooded with liquor from the Or
angeburg dispensaries. We do not
know whether our people want the
dispensary back or not, but they
should be allowed to vote on the
question if Orangeburg does. The
State should not be part wet and part
dry any way.

There was no contest over the cleo

Supreme Court, and Eugene B. Gary
was elected without opposition, al

water that is used for domestic pur-
poses. 1t is not unusual now to see a
well in use lear a dwelling and re-
ceiving its water below the level of
the house. A we'll so located is a
continuous danger. If any enteric
disease seizes an inmate and the ex-
crements are deposited where the
ground water may receive them. soon
er or later the we'll will be infected
with poisonous germs. No matter
how clear the water may look, a well
near the house and having it's water
surface far below the level of the
house is sure to receive ground water
with all it carries of pollution from a
long distance in every direction. The
we'll affords an outlet for the ground
water and quiet water held away
from sunlight is favorable to the life
of disease germs.
A we'll is more dangerous to health
than a flowing spring. In Vermont
the springs that supply houses with
water are seldom below the level of
the house. In a few instances water
may be thrown up by using a Hv-
draulic ram; but usually the spring
lies at some distance from the house
it supplies, and we'll above its level.
All SuSu q Ease IL 10 WISE ~ SCC GJoV
no pollution or poison car come to the
merely through surface water run
ming openly into the spring but
through the ground water. It must
be remembered that a spring is not
supplied from a hidden reservoir of
water. Rain furnishes the water,
and it comes down from the little de-
preston above it, more or less re-
mote, in the shape Ct ground water.
Most of the farm houses in Vermont
have a private supply of water from
we'll or spring. Upon the owner de-
ponds the protection of this source of
supply. The lives of the family de-
pend upon the purity of the water
Very possibly the same source has
supplied the family for generations 4;
but even this should not prevent the
present occupant of the farm from a
careful examination of the probable
flow of the surface and ground water
that forms the supply. Conditions
may have changed; new houses may
have been erected new sewers laid F;
new privies set up.
The protection of public water sup
plies rests usually with public officers
or with the directors of incorporated
water companies. Their responsible
ties are great. It is their duty to
protect the waters used by the public
from all disease germs. If the sourc-
es used for the supply of public water
lie in cultivated ground the danger of
disease is great. A single cas- of
typhoid fever, unskillfully cared for.
may poison hundreds.
