CURRENCY BILL
A PARTY MEASURE
Senators Vote to Hold Day and
Night Sessions.

Washington, Nov 27-The Demo
Gratis in the senate finally have de-
cided to sort to extreme measures
to expedite currency legislation. They
voted for morning and night sessions
Of the senate, beginning next Mon
day, the opening Of the new session,
and also to forego the usual holiday
recess
Furthermore they have decided to
make the currency bill a party ques-
tion and to commit senate Democrats
to the support Of it through the eau
Gus rule. These steps have been
taken in response to pressure from
the White House, it is said. Never,
so far as Wilson observers could re-
call, has q new session started out
under conditions such as will be i'm
posed on the one about to convene.
The resolution imposing these condi-
tions was offered by Senator O'Gor-
man of New York.
The action taken was wholly unex-
pected to the Republicans, and it was
not seriously considered by the Dem
ocratic senators until after they we're
assembled in caucus and listened to
a number of warnings from senators
as to threatened business depression
due to the delay in passing a cur
rency. bill,

SUIT FOR DAMAGES
RECALLS TRAGEDY
AZ DeIphOs, When Two Mercer

and Killed at Crossing.

The damage suit brought by William

Anna Hartings, the two young girls who
were killed when they were struck by
Pennsylvania fast train No. %, al the
Jefferson street crossing in Delphos and
instantly killed, was given to the Jury
Tuesday morning at II O'Clock.
AT ESQ the jury announced that a YER
dict had been arrived at and reported to
the court that judgment for the plain
TIL had been awarded in the sum Of
Sl,7lO. The amount sued for was So, 900.
An interesting point in the trial was that
the company rested its case without pre-
senting their witnesses and relied upon
the story told by the plaintiff S witnesses
to relieve them of any blame in the
deaths of the two girls. They contended
the crossing was known to be a danger
GUS one, that the view was unob-
structed and that had the Hartings sis
tiers taken the ordinary precaution to
stop, look and listen, - they would not
have been struck by the locomotive.
As will be remembered by our readers,
the two girls we're standing on the east
bound track waiting for a west bound
train to pass and failed to notice the ap-
proach of the rapidly moving east bound
train. They were struck by the locomo-
tive and hurled considerable distance,
producing instant death. -sDelphos

YELLOW HAMMERS
GET IN THEIR WORK

In reporting the proceedings of the
County Commissioners the last week in
October the following paragraph was
printed in The Democrat:
Finding from a report of the
Auditor that the bridge fund was not
sufficient to pay the expense of
bridge construction, and that there
was a credit balance of good proper
ton in the pike repair fund, the
Board thereupon passed a resolu-
ton transferring Sl2,0 from the
pike repair fund to the bridge fund" "
Ordinarily this would not create much
excitement but enemies { the present
Commissioners in the north end of the
county have seized upon a slight omis-
sion III our report to discredit the new
board. The word omitted that gave
them a chance to use their hammers was

1t made no difference to them when
informed of The Democrats s error; that
the Commissioner S journal ordering the
transfer was public property and open to
inspection, and i'll face of the fact that
another paper of the county had the
paragraph in question printed correctly.
They must use their little hammers.
The transfer was made in the hope of
saving some money to the people of the
county in the way of interest on the issue
of bonds made necessary by the construc-
tion of bridges. As the people were to
vote on the question of untaxing their
own bonds, the Commissioners naturally
wanted to take advantage of the lower
