FARMERS BANK PAYS IN FULL

Every depositor in the Farmers
National Bank, of Oxford, Pa, which
was not allowed to reopen after the
bank holiday four years ago, will re-
ceive the amount of his deposit in
full. The announcement by the Re-
ceiver, Alfred NJ Wilson, of another
dividend of sixteen and two-thirds
percent brings about this hundred
per cent return, a situation most un-
usual in the case of closed banks.
And that is not all; there are still
some assets to be liquidated and the
proceeds from this will enable GER
tain portion of the interest which mas
accumulated ON these deposits to be
paid. The dividend checks are now
ready and may be obtained by all
who have proven their claims, merely
by calling at the Office of the receiver.

u. S. Accidents Cost
Four Billion
Fatalities Of Every Type Last
Year Increased Ten Thous-
and Above Previous

Accidents cost the United States a
grim toll of 111,OBO lives and a
staggering bill of $S,7OO,OO0,0OO in
1885, the National Safety Council
estimates.
Its annual summary of accident
facts said such fatalities of all
types exceeded by more than 10000
the 1895 total-99,967.
1t noted one person was injured
accidentally every three seconds last
year; there were 10,73O,OOO cases in
all, 100000 were permanently dis
abled, and an accidental death oc-
CURED every five minutes.
Approximately half of the increase
was ascribed to last summers severe
heat wave. The safety council
charged it with $500 victims, about
five times the average number.
The home continued to be the
most dangerous place. Although
traffic deaths were counted by the
Safety Council at a new high total
lof $1,000, fatal injuries to $500
were blamed upon carelessness in
the home.
Falling down stairs, slipping in the
bathtub, electric shocks, scaldings,
poisoning, burns and cuts from kitch-
en- utensils were the most frequent
causes. Home accident fatalities
were 20 per cent over the $4,000
counted in 1885.
The general accident rate per
100000 persons in 1886 was S6.4 or
10 per cent higher than in 1885.
Occopational deaths last year, a
concomitant of increased industrial
activity, reached $4,000, compared
with 10000 in 1885.
Public accidents, mot motor We
hicle," Jumped II per cent from 49,
600 two years ago to 10000 in 1886.
The Safety Council calculated that
two billion dollars in wages was lost
in 1886 by accident victims, that hos
pital and medical expense amounted
to $500, 100000, insurance costs
were $200,00O,000 excluding claims
paid, property damage in motor We
hicle accidents was $4,000, 900,
and fire losses $293,O0O,O0O.
Children from 5 to IA years of age
were given the best accident record.
In 1886 this group had approximately
$500 deaths, rate Of 34.6 per 1907
900. For others the figures were:
Under years, 1853; from Is to "a
years, 56.7; from rs to Ga years,
Sill; IS years and over, 1881.
Arizona had the highest fatal all
accident rate-165.5 deaths per 1907
900 inhabitants; Rhode Islands rate
was lowest-59.3 per 100000.
OF the three states which classify
alcohol as cause" of motor vehicle
accidents, the council said, Illinois
attributed 80 per cent of fatal acci-
dents to "alcohol drivers" and per
cent to "alcohol pedestrians" New
Hampshire reported 10 per cent for
drivers and per cent for pedestrian.
Arkansas reported the number due
to alcohol drivers" at % per cent.

There is a little better tone in the

has been some buying in Texas Of fine

In the Boston market, there has
been comparatively little business done,

in plecegoods is limited, but the backlog
OF orders at the mills is still fairly

Three caps, found in an old sta
tionary store in New York and
shipped here by airplane, were not
suitable.
The IL year old boy lay under
observation in hospital and sur
geons could not draw the cap from
his lung until they had another
one like it to aid them in design
ing special forceps that would catch
on its smooth metal surface.
Andrews condition was not con-
sidfred serious. He inhaled the
cap during a sigh Of relief after
solving a problem in arithmetic at
his school desk Thursday. He had
the pencil in his mouth and the
cap was sucked down his windpipe
