the Middle division of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad.
For the first time since January 1
slow freight shut down Saturday night
and opened again last night at mid
night.
Neither the Pennsylvania Railroad
nor Philadelphia and Reading Railway
handled a car for the Baldwin Loco
motive Works yesterday. This was
unusual, as the daily shipments on
each road is twenty cars.
A. +. Gutschalh second trick sig
mailman at Lewistown Junction, is off
duty on account of illness.
Work on the new freight transfer
station of the Pennsylvania Railroad
at Altoona is progressing rapidly.
When completed work on the enlarge
ment of the passenger station at that
place will be taken up.
During the week of April 1 ) motive
power department employees of the
Middle division to the number of tif
teen were disciplined for rule infrac-
tions.
Readjustment of the entire schedule

attendance. One of the children who
died was the matron's own child, at
tended by her own physician.
Another thing that the Poor Board
will likely investigate is the disposition
of the funds. amounting to $6.75,
which were paid in to the matron by
private parties for care of the young
sters. We are told that the money was
used to help keep up the institution.
We do not charge that. anybody has
taken anything, as I've said before, but
we do charge that there has been mis-
management.
The Telegraph has told OF the un-
sanitary conditions in which the
youngsters are housed. The absence
OF fresh air. the fact that all of them
play together. regardless of whether or
not any are tubercular. Now this is
another problem we hope to solve as
soon as the quarantine is lifted by
having all the youngsters examined
at the State dispensary. Those who
require 1t will be removed to Cresson,
the State sanatorium."

The colored nursery was not or

retained. This includes Mrs. Lizzie
Christopher, the matron, and her hus-
band, who live at the place. We have
been unable to remove the present
force, the force employed by the old
board, because there has been almost
continuous quarantine for measles,
whooping cough or diphtheria.

presented, continued Clerk Bayles.

Won Der GoItz Slain
by Assassin, Is Report

Paris, April "a. Reports from
Swiss and Italian sources say that
Field Marshal Won der Goltz was as
sassinated Immediately after the news
of the fall of Trebizond reached Con-
stantinople, and when he was about
to board train for Berlin.
On April 10 the Berlin papers an
nounced that the old marshal was
coming to the capital, but said nothing
about his being i'll.
Another story says that upon seeing
the Russians were about to decisively
defeat the Turks before Trebizond, Won
der Goltz placed himself with all his
staff at the head of the Ottoman force
and charged to certain death.
Yet another version of his death said
1t was due to the rigors of the thirty
mile retreat on horseback after the
rout of the Turks before Trebizond.

Stop, Look and Listen Is
Not Enough Says Judge

Topeka Kan, April 24.-Listening
not sufficient precaution for drivers of
motor cars who approach railroad
crossings where oncoming trains
cannot be seen, according to a decision
of the Kansas Supreme Court handed
down in an appeal of a damage suit
brought by DR.. w. A. Wehe against
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railway.
The court said that the driver must
bring his car to a stop, get out, walk
to the track and look to see if a train
is approaching. If he does not do this,
he cannot collect damages for injuries
to himself and his car.
