Auto Killed Woman in Everett.

Rebecca, wife of Albert
Eshelman, aged 63 years, was
run down and killed in Everett
on Monday evening of last week,
by a passenger Hudson
driven by Lena Maye Irwin, Of
Brooklyn, N. Y. Mrs. Eshelman
was returning from q store just
across the street from her home.
Several trucks and automobiles
standing along the street OBJ
structed the view and neither
she nor the driver of the car saw
each other until it was too late
to avoid the accident. Mrs.
Eshelman's neck was broken
and death was instantaneous. On
account of the fact that the ac-
cident was purely accidental,
Miss Irwin was eXonerated from
any blame. Mrs. Eshelman was
the mother of Herbert Jackson's s
wife near Akersville.

Blasting ACcidsat.

AT the stone quarry near the
Old Mill just south of town,
where material is gotten out for
the re-surfacing of the Lincoln
Highway. an accident occurred
last Thursday that might have
cost the life of William Comerer.
When rocks have been blown
out of the hill that are too large
to be sledged, they are dynamit-
ed. To do this, a stick of dyna-
mite is placed on the rock to be
broken, and the dynamite cover
ed with a quantity of mud. This
causes the force of the explosive
to crush the stone and prevents
a shower of fragments from 60
ing into the air. On this occa-
sion, Mr.. Comerer had prepared
two blasts, lighted the fuse and
walked away. One of the blasts
went off. After waiting awhile,
Mr.. Comerer was satisfied that
the other had gone out, and walk
ed up and as he stopped to look,
was Mortified to see that it was
just ready to go off, and in a sec
ond's time the explosion took
place, throwing mud and grave
into his face and over his body
covering him with bruises.

right away, when it was found
that he was not seriously injured,
and will likely be back at work

The WATER QUESTION.
The Company Now Busy Installing
Meters 10 The Homes Of Their
lS6 Patrons.

Ever since the installation of
the Water system by the McCon-
nellsburg Water Company Is
years ago, there has been more
or less friction between the Com
pany and the consumers. Togeth-
er with being deprived of the use
of the water in winter on account
Of freezing, and in the summer
ON account Of an insufficient
supply in the reservoir, the SER
vice has been anything but salts
factory.
Upon complaint from time to
time, the Company in obedience
to orders from the Public Ser
vice Commission have added a
number Of springs-but notwith-
standing, the Town during the
past year has been without fire
protection on account of a lack Of
water.
The Water Company claimed
that there was an abundance of
water sent into the town, but
that the people Of the town
wasted it, and to remedy this,
they appealed to the Commission
for permission to put in meters
and change the tariff of rates.
The rates, in themselves, did
not seem to be unreasonable; but
there were a few riders in the
bill" that did not look good to
the consumer: l. The Con-
sumer was to pay two cents a
(5O.gaD barrel for tn e water
consumed, and to pay in addi-
ton a rental of eight dollars a
year for the meter. 2. The
Consumers are to have all the
water they wish as long as the
supply holds out; but in case of a
freeze-up or q dry.up, there is to
be no comeback" on the Com
pany. This ruling was to have
taken place on the first of August.
The consumers got busy, en-
ployed a corporation lawyer,
and asked for a hearing. This
was granted and on Thursday of
last week, the Commission heard
the case in the lobby of the Senate
chamber at Harrisburg. The re-
suit is, that the Company are
ordered to install the meters
placing one at the intake of the
reservoir and one at the outlet.
Then, at such time as the Com
mission may deem proper, a
State Hydraulic Engineer will
be sent here after which the
rates will be adjusted by the
Commission, and the Company
directed as to the additional
supply needed.
