IN ACCIDENT

Our switch engine. the six

looks as the result Of an acci-
dent at "Sprucetown" this
morning. The engineer started
to pull a box car and two cars
or rails from the siding, which
is on a pretty good grade, but
IN some manner got the engine
In reverse. AS a consequence
he rammed the cars down
against the bumper at the end
OF the spur, derailing the box
car and battering up the six
spot" The engineer was given
a layoff, and N. H, Sherwood is

CAMPS RETURNS
LACK RESULTS
OF VOTES TAKEN
Commissioners Get Few Bal
lots, With Heavy EX-
pense Accounts

A few of the returns filed at the
department of the secretary of the
commonwealth by commissioners ap-
pointed by the Governor to take the
votes of Pennsylvanians IN military
or naval service do not contain any
statements of the candidates for
whom the men voted. The names
of the men voting are given, but
no statement of results.
In one instance a commissioner
reported fifty-nine soldiers voting
and stated that their names had been
sent to the twenty-nine counties
whence they hailed. but that there
was no record of the way they voted.
In another return names OF thirty
of thirty-two men who voted were
filed here without any vote. Off,
cials here took statements from the
regarding the situa-
ton and are hoping that the returns
sent to counties may be found to con-
tain some ilgures.
Eighty -seven out of 126 commits
sioners. have filed returns and en-
pense accounts at 10 cents a mile.
In one or two instances II is calcu-
lated that the votes cost the state of
Pennsylvania $40 apiece. while in
the Salt Lake case, wherein the COM
missioner found all but two men
gone when he arrived, the state will
pay more for affording means to
vote In all, men were sent to 1O9
places. Camps Lee. Meade and other
big stations having more than one
commissioner, The Camp Lee COM
missioners brought back the largest
vote, about 5000 out of $4,000 men
from Pennsylvania reported in that
cantonment.
Some of the return books do not
contain oaths of election officers,
some are without names OF camps in
proper places and with other omis-
sions which officials here are en-
deavoring to correct. =
Somewhat of chill was cast over
Republicans here when the returns

LIEUT.. TOWSEN
WOUNDED FIVE
TIMES IN ACTION
Jaw Broken in Battle Near
Verdun; Captain Rupp
Wounded

convalescing in base hospital in
France, after having been wounded
in five different places in one en-
gagement, Lieutenant ]. Wilbur
Towseh. writes an interesting, if
somewhat gruesome letter to his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. II. f. Towsen,
GIG North Second street.
Lieutenant Towsen was engaged in
the vicinity of Verdun in the opera
tions which took place September
25-27 Although he was wounded In
an engagement on the latter date in
the jaw, hip, foot. arm and wrist, he
was able to walk from the lines, and
did not seem to feel the effects of his
wounds until after he had left the
zone Of excitement. His most serious
wound Is in the jaw. which was
broken.
His left hand, 1t is claimed by
Lieutenant Towsen, was saved by
his wristwatch, flying missile hav-
ing struck him in the wrist of that
hand and lodged against the watch
case, with such force as to have
otherwise severed his hand or made
amputation necessary. Lieutenant
Towsen reports that when leaving
the battle lines, he saw Captain
Rupp lying on the ground wounded
and. as he thought, dead.
1t was thought that the Captain
Rupp referred to was a Shiremans-
town man, however such report
could not be confirmed to-day. Some
say that the Captain Rupp referred
to may be York man, formerly
connected with the Governors
Troop.

of Company d, Three Hundred and
Thirteenth Infantry. lie received his

CELEBRATION OF
PEACE TO HAVE
A DEEP MEANING.

VKTIrH a great military victory
Wv and a triumphant peace im-
pending, ii is the opinion of
many thoughtful people OF Har-
risburg that any publ ic demon
stration should %e i'm harmony
with the ideals of the war and
the great causes which led the
United States to participate In the
conflict.
There is disposition too often
to make of these occasions mere
jollification without meaning and
contrary to the spirit OF serious
purpose underlying the alliance
for righteousness and liberty and
justice. In a premature celebra-
tion the other night upon a ia lse
rumor of peace. there was mani
fest disposition to treat the
whole thing as a Halloween or
Mardi Gras festival might have
been treated.
The greet sacrifices of the war
have touched many homes, and
while there should be great 10y
and rejoicing over the termination
of hostilities and the coming of
peace, there ought also to be a
serious appreciation of what has
been achieved and what the vic
tory means for the country and
the world.
The Telegraph believes that
above al else. there should he
recognition of God In appropri-
ate services in all the churches.
OF course. there should also be
great public demonstration in har-
mony with the ideals and purposes
of the war. But all mere carni-
val features should he eliminated.
1t ought IN short. to he a fine pm
triotic expression of the joy of
the people along the line of sew
eral of the imposing demonstrn-
tions which have marked the
progress of the war in Harrisburg.
There is no necessity for any
hasty celebration. It ought to
follow quickly. of course, after
the declaration of peace. but
whatever is done should be done
after some thought as to the char
acter of the celebration and the
proper arrangement of details.
1t would seem that even now
Mayor Keister might cal into
conference the chairman of the
Committee of National Defense
and others who have beer. promi-
nent in the war actlvities-men
and women-with view to out
lining a program to the end that
there may be no celebration that
will reflect adversely unon n conn
munity that has acquitted itsclf
so admirably throughout the war
