Robert D. Seton Dies
From Injuries Received.
Serious Wreck On c., G. & w.
TrOlly Road Near Pen-Mar.

|
Robert D. Seton, general manager of
the Chambersburg. Greencastle and
Waynesboro Railway Company, was kill
ed and 10 others seriously injured last
Saturday evening, midway between Pen
Mar and Waynesboro, Pa. when three
cars of the c.. G. & w. Railway Com
pany, branch of the Hagerstown and
Frederick Railway Company, crashed in
to the rear end of trolley car as it was
on its way toward Waynesboro. 1t was
the worst wreck in the history # the
company.
The wreck occurred near the foot of
the steep incline near Rouzerville. The
three cars getting away included the
wreck cars on the line, and were being
operated by Mr.. Seton, and were follow
ing the passenger car down the noun
tain. Due to faulty brakes. the cars got
beyond control and soon overlook the
car ahead carrying % people. In the
collision the cars were dersiled and bad
ly smashed up, Mr. Seton being buried
under the cars and so badly injured that
he died at the Was hlngton County Hos
pital, Hagerstown, Sunday morning at 8
O'Clock. The construction of the pas
senger car, which was of steel, probably
saved the lives of many passengers.
The runaway train overlook the pas
senger coach about 200 yards from the
summit of the incline. With increasing
momentum the cars sped down the noun
tainside, crashed into the passenger car
and finally piled up iuto mass of wreck
age. Although he realized that he was
powerless to check the runaway, Seton
stuck to his post. When taken from I'M
der the wreckage his left leg was 50 bad
ly mangled that it was amputated few
hours later. He was badly bruised about
the head end body.
1t is said that none of the passengers
were seriously injured. although many
reported minor bruises.
Mr. Seton was son of the late Mar
tin Seton, of Thurmont, but for many
years has been with the trolley company

Funeral services for the late Mr.. Sef-
ton were held Tuesday afternoon in St.

Biz Crop Expected.

Detailed reports reports received from
all the fruit belts in Washington and
Frederick counties point to banner fruit
crop this season. Extensive examina-
tions were made of the orchards follow
ing the recent frosts and growers declare
that the fruit has entirely escaped dam
age. Most varieties of apples promise a
large yield. The cherry crop, however,
promises to be small.

pop, Up She Goes.

Because of the advance in the price of

it necessary to advance the price of this

likely to be sold at cents in the future.

says he has 5000 bottles of pop to sell at
the same old price, s cents.

Peace by Resolution.

The senate admits it is unable to make a
full peace with the central powers on behalf
of the United States It's admission is written
into it's own peace resolution After declaring
peace with Germany, the senate does the same
with Austro- Hungary, and then adds:
THE president is hereby requested imme-
diately to open negotiations with the success
sor or successors Of said government (Austro-
Hungary for the purpose of establishing fully
friendly relations and commercial intercourse
between the United States and the govern
ments and peoples of Austria and Hungary"
Was there ever a more naive confession of
senatorial impotence? Of what use is reso-
luton resembling Americas declaration of
war, when the senate confesses it must appeal
to the president "for the purpose of establish
ing fully friendly relations and commercial
intercourse?' Why rescind a war declarati
before establishing friendly relations any
way?
The senates resolution establishes neither
peace nor an armstice. 1t does no more than
attack the president of the United States before
the enemy. And yet, the senate acknowledges
the superior peace making right OF the presi-
dent in its very attack. Why, therefore, all
this bother? The presidents duty is to veto
the resolution.

The Judicial Age Limit.

A. proposed Ii COMMITTEES the minimum
are Of members OF the Illinois supreme court
will Be fixed in the new constitution at IS
years. Unless there is provision exempting
members now serving from its terms the rule
will bar the reelection Of Justice Floyd E.
Thompson Of Rock Island. Mr. Thompson Will
be but "a at the time Of the regular election
next year. He is now serving out the unex-
pired term Of George A. Cooke. formerly OF
Aledo, and has made a record that certainly
entities him to again be candidate In fact
the work OF the Rock Island member stands
as a pretty convincing argument against So
year age limit.
Young men on the bench generally have
made good. Supreme court districts are not
so large that people vote blindly for candi-
dates who commonly are judged on their qualih-
cations and standing in the profession of law.
Those qualifications need not be matters OF
doubt in a judicial election, where aspirants
usually get about and meet at least the lead
ers in every township. Under the circum-
stances 1t would seem to be an unnecessary
precaution to bar any man able to get the
nomination and election in an open field mere
ly on the score of age.
OF course the integrity of the bench should
be preserved and its wisdom maintained, but
the safeguards that are relied upon to keep in
competents off of it after 35 should be a suf-
ficient protection also in the case OF those I'M
der that age.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am a

months. We have lived with my
husbands folks and at first they
were nice, but now they seem to

myself they get jealous and say I
am spending all of Bob's money.
He doesn't want to move for things

He is very good. but at times he
doesn't believe me. When they
hurt my feelings terribly I must
tell some one. He does not act as

never buys me anything-his mon

grown up and working and have
better work than he himself. If l
say anything he says he has to pay

AN UNLOVED WIFE.
Perhaps you have done too much
for him and he fails to appreciate
your sacrifices. Often that is the
case, and maybe if you would as
sert your rights as wife and part
ner, and stick to your claims, he
would realize that he has not been
doing right. Otherwise, even if you
do love him. l think you should at
least leave him for while. Maybe
then he would come to realize that
he depends on you more than he
thinks. You have a right to be
happy and you won't be as long as
he treats you as you say he has
been doing.
