Philadelphia's increase was 22 per cent. and Allegheny county's 31 per cent. The western division of the Southern Pacific railroad is saving $40,000 a month, with less than half of its locomotives converted from coal to oil burners.

It takes twenty-four barrels of oil as compared to five tons of coal for 100 miles. President John Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers, was under crossexamination several days this week before the coal strike commission. At the close of one of the sessions Wayne Mac Veagh declared that Mr. Mitchell was the best witness he had ever faced. Mra.

Roland B. Molineux, of New York city, has gone to South for the purpose of remaining the necesgary six months in order to procure 8 divorce from her husband, who few days ago was acquitted of the murder of Mrs. Kate Adams, after two sensational trials. Secretary Hay and British Ambassador Herbert have signed the Bond-Hay treaty, providing for reciprocity between the United States and Newfoundland, covering fish products and bait.

Allegations of fraud have been made against the Republican election offc als of Philadelphia. A Democratic overseer asserts that votes were tically controlled by a force of "ward heelers."

One dream of Charles Cawley, who is charged with killing almost his entire family in Homestead, has been realized. Among the patents granted at Washington this week was one on the air brake invented by this young man. It was the strain in perfecting this invention that overtaxed Cawley's mind. His uncle will handle the patent for him until the court appoints a trustee. From what could be learned of 1 the patent, its workings are perfect and it has the qualifications to make a successful air brake for railway cars.

A fatal freight wreck occurred on the Pittsburg division of the Pennsylvania railroad Monday morning. Two men were killed, one was seriously injured and ten loaded freight cars and two engines were demolished. Those who lost their lives were Harry S. Moore and L. V.

Dierner. Both lived Altoona. The former was engineer extra freight No. 259, the latter brakeman of the same train. The injured man is W.

D. Mauk, of Altoona, who was employed as freman of No. 259. The dead men were taken to Derry and Mr. Mauk to the Cambria hospital, Johnstown.

Mr. Moore's body was afterward conveyed to Altrona and Mr. Dierner's remains to his former home in Somerset county. The wreck occurred a short distance west of Bolivar station, in Westmoreland county. A west bound freight train, No.

2094, broke down at Bolivar and while the damage was being repaired engine No. 1116, running light, pulled in behind it. Extra freight No. 259, made up of cars loaded with merchandise, and the engine in charge of Engineer Moore, with W. D.

Mauk as freman, came along, running at good rate of speed. It crashed into engine No. 1116 and forced it into the freight ahead. The two engines aud ten cars were piled up and the age W86 scattered over the tracks. The collision came so suddenly that neither Engineer Moore nor Fireman Mauk had time to make an effort to escape.

They were caught in the wreckage, 88 was Brakeman Dierner, pho was riding on one of the wrecked cars. The trains' crews immediately set to work to rescue the imprisoned men. Engineer Moore WaS found under his engine and evidently stuck to bis post to the last. Mauk, who was the first to be removed from the wreckage, was thought to be dead, but soon showed signs of regaining eonsciousness. Brakeman Dierner's body was found pinioned under some heavy timber and it was evident that he bad been instantly killed.

Eagineer Harry S. Moore was a son of George W. and Isabel Moore and was born at New Paris, this county, On March 27, 1870. He went to toona twelve years ago and entered the employ of the Pennsylvania Bail: road company. Seven years ago became a freman and last July was made an engineer.

Freight 1 Blookade at Pittsburg. There is 8 serious freight blockade at Pittsburg and the P. R. R. officials are trying to hit upon a plan to lieve the congestion.

The Hyadman Land association has offered to donate free sites for manufacturing establishments and the board will undertake to bring the advantages of the community to the attention of manufacturers seeking locations and endeavor to induce them to invest in works for the purpose of utilizing the large deposits of coal, limestone, fire-clay, silica and sand that are in abundance in close proximity to the town. With these raw materials, in addition to pure water and excellent railroad facilities, Hyndman should in the near future become the metropolis of Bedford county. Good for the Bedford Division! Bedford county railroaders figured largely in the news of the latter part of last week.

Employees of the P. R. cleverly captured three of the prisoners, an account of whose thrilling escape from the Huntingdon Reformatory was published in last week's issue of THE GAZETTE. Friday afternoon two of the fugitives--Frederick Burger and Albert Black--accosted the trackmen at Wolfsburg and tried to change coats with the workmen, offering a Winchester rifle "to boot." Sylvester J. Souser got the gun in his hands and startled the would-be traders when he informed them that they were his prisoners.

The boys were crestfallen, but hope was revived by the section foreman advising their captor to let them go. The weapon was given back to Burger and he and his companion skedaddled. After quitting work in the evening Mr. Souser and Percy Pierson, another trackman, secured a gun and a pistol and started in pursuit of the Reformatory lads. They were joined by young man named Kinton and this trio overtook the fugitives in Kinton's cut, near the bridge on this side of Mann'a Choice.

The bunters took the hunted by surprise and the latter, seeing that they were trapped, surrendered. The prisoners were brought to Bedford in a wagon and lodged in jall. The same day Jack Neary and William Madden, employees of the P. R. at State Line arrested Edward Lord, who escaped from the Reformatory with Burger, Black and Macone.

The last named, as noted last week, was taken into custody soon after he got away from the tution. The three prisoners captured in this county were taken back to the Reformatory on Saturday. They were serving terms for burglary. For the arrest of each convict a reward of $25 was paid to their captora. ENDED IN FAILURE.

Sad Experience of a Colony of Bedford and Blair County Folks. The Altoona Times tells the following story of the fate of a party of Bedford and Blair county people who went to Colorado to found a settlement some time ago: a year ago colony, made up of about a dozen young married couples from Blair and Bedford counties and members of the German Baptist, or Dunkard church, persuaded by a minister of that denomination from the west, who traveled through these parts, went to Colorado and founded a settlement in one of the valleys but sparsely inhabited. Though little or no rain ever falls in that portion of the state, it was represented as being an agricultural country of wonderful possibilities, farming being carried on by means of irrigation. Allured by the glittering prospects, the young people, most of whom were farmers or farmers' sons, disposed of their land, it they had any, and other possessions in Pennsylvanis and moved to the Centennial state. They all had some morey, the respective sums ranging from $500 to $1,000, and the land was taken up, buildings erected and ing by means of irrigation begun.

"To make a long story short, the whole proceeding proved to. be miserable fallure. The crops that they attempted to raise by the irrigation process did not flourish and bug peata of various sorta ate up or destroyed whatever by dint of hard work they did succeed in coxing beyond the sprouting stage. This fall they cast longing eyes bae toward the old Keystone atate, and, packing up their effecta, they started home, their sub. stance wasted, disgusted, broke and in debt to their friends, without whose assistance they might have been obliged to remain and perish on the miserable alkali desert, upon which the glib-tongued preacher bad persuaded them to settle.

One of the members of the colony was son of John Hoover, farmer of the city filter beds at Cresawell."

"LILY WHITE" MOVEMENT The President Will Likely Return to the Old Custom Maintaining a Sonthern Organization, Special Correspondence of THE GAZETTE.

WASHINGTON, November the utmost vacillation and indecision have been shown by the president in handling the "lily white" movement in the south is the opinion of all who have closely observed his actions in that connection. Apparently, Mr. Roosevelt has abandoned the enterprise as hopeless and is now prepared to return to the old custom of maintaining 8 southern organization, with its concomitants of colored Republican officeholders, etc. has removed two federal officeholders in Alabama for their activity in eliminating the negro from the party councils and now it is reported that he has removed District Attorney Warren S. Reese for the same cause.

For a considerable time the president encouraged Senator Peter Pritchard to believe that he would have the assistance of the federal administration in his project. Senator Pritchard explained most forcibly to the president that the only hope of building up a successful Republican party in the south must be based on the elimination of the negro and showed him that so long as Republicanism stood for negro the better element of the south would "vote Democratic" regardless of their convictions on national issues. Now Mr. Roosevelt has abandoned the senator and has returned to the old custom. That he has done so is believed to augur that he expects to favor the restriction of southern representation in congress and that he believes he must take the step in order to solidify the southern delegations to the next national convention.

Soon after the convention of congress, it is said, Representatives Dick, Crumpack3r and Dayton will be called in conference with the president and several members of the cabinet to consider the subj3et of restricting southern representation and it is for that reason that Mr. Roosevelt has determined to revert to the old negro officeholder policy of his predecessors. The president's recent statement, made before the New York chamber of commerce that, "The growing complexity of our social and industrial life has rendered inevitable the intrusion of the state into spheres of work wherein it formally took no part," has attracted the marked attention of the Demccrats and some Republicans, who see in the words: prediction of at least some measure of state socialism, "Where will the president draw the line ask these gentlemen, who evidently think the president is treading on delicate ground. "Mr. Roosevelt says there is an inevitable tendency in that direction, but if he permits the government to develop that tendency where can he stop it?" "Is it not time to nip it in the bud These are some of the questions that are being aaked and some of them will doubtless be put to the president himself when he returns to Washington.

"Insufficient time" will be the excuse the Republicans will make for not repealing the duty on anthracite coal and altering many tariff schedules known to be entirely too high even to suit the vast majority of Republicans, according to Representative Grosvenor. Moreover, the general says that there will be no extra session, or words to that effect. There may be a difference of opinion between the president and the general on this score, however, for it is stated by some politicians who are very near to the president that he regards an extra session of the Fiftyeighth congress asinevitable to Republican success in 1904, in which Mr. Roosevelt is very much interested. of course, he will not commit himself for the present, but will "keep his ear to the ground," to use the expression of his political friends.

There are numerous indications that the pressure to enact anti-trust legislation, which will be brought to bear on congress, will be exceedingly strong. The president favors it and is especially anxious that some means should be taken to enforce publicity 80 as to prevent the floating of what are called wild-eat stocks on the market. He is told, even by some of the financlers, that there is a grave element of danger in this now common practice and he appreciates that the result may mean a panic which, if it were to come shortly before election time, would be almost sure to mean Republican detest. Doubtless Mr. Roosevelt will urge the enactment of a law in line with Attorney General Knox's recommendations at Pittsburg, but that such a law will be passed is considered very doubtful.

Some of the best posted politicians in Washington, however, say that a compromise law will be the inevitable result of the present agitation, and that law will merely take the form of enforcing 8 messure of publicity on the trusts. The Philadelphia district attorney has completed his investigation of the charges brought against Senator Quay for violation of the federal law by SOliciting campaign contributions from officeholders. Of course the attorney entirely vindicates the senator, who, it seems from the attorney's report, was in dense ignorance of the fact that his name was used. It the senator had been less successful in the manipulation of the Pennsylvania elections the district attorney might have found dif. ferently.

It will doubtless prove a source of disappointment to many families to learn that the administration, at the behest of the protected interests in the Philippines, has decided Christmas boxes for the soldier boys in the island will be subject to the same tariff duties 88 other merchandise. There will be no duty-free Christmas presents for the soldier boys this year. Fire at Meyeradale. Hotel Stein, Meyeredale's leading bostelry, was burned Thursday moraing of last week.
