lar manner on Market street bridge.
He had just delivered several pieces
of timber south of the bridge. In re-
turning he was mounted on the back
of one of the four mules he was driv-
ing. When he got near the middle OF
the bridge he fell unconscious from
the mule. Pencil Stetser, bridgeten-
der, stopped the mans team. saving
him from being injured by the wheels
and then applied ice water to his face.
Dr. Joseph p. Pyle. who was passing
at the time gave other first aid treat
ment and the man was finally revived
sufficiently to continue on his way to
Kennett Square. The police patrol
was called but Dr. Pyle told the Off
GERS that Howell was fit to continue
the trip.

SETTLEMENT 0F THE .LUS|TAN|A AFFAIR
 IN NEW PROPOSALS
Negotiations Being Closely ded-Germany Hopes to Satisfy the United
 States

Washington, December 29.-New pro- posais from Germany for settlement of the Lusitania controversy which the Berlin foreign office hopes will be ac- ceptable to the United States, are ex- pected to be presented to the state de- partment next week. It is understood the negotiations between Secretary Lan- sing and Count Won Bernstorff, the Ger man ambassador, recently progressed to a point where settlement was ex- pected at Christmas Today, it was said, the German proposals resulting from these conversations, probably would arrive soon after New Years day.
 Information received here indicates that the Berlin foreign office is anxious to end the controversy in spite of ad- verse public opinion said to have been aroused by the American request for withdrawal of the German military and naval attaches and the demands upon Austria-Hungary, as a result of the sink ing of the Ancona.
 The present status of the negotiations is very closely guarded. The United States has contended for a dsavowal of the sinking of the Lusitania and reparation for the American lives lost. A proposal by Germany to arbitrate the question of indemnity was rejected. It has since been suggested that Ger many might make reparation with the understanding that it would involve no admission of wrongdoing 1t is un- derstood that no agreement will sat- isfy the United States unless 1t con tains something in the nature of dis avowal, but Germany contends that her instructions to submarine commanders to discontinue such attacks as that on the Lusitania Is the most effective dis avowal that could be given.
 It is regarded here as especially sig nificant that settlement of the Lusi- tania case should become imminent at 8 time when Teutonic diplomatic circles are represented as being prepared for diplomatic break between the United States and Austria Hungary. Clearing up of the Lusitania case, officials be- lieve. would have an important bearing on the controversy with Vienna. That situation remained tonight unchanged. without word from Ambassador Pen field or any official indication of when Austria's reply to Secretary Lansing's renewed demands might be expected.
