The hill jtimitles that the iitncnrmiee of ilesertion without cause, willful non sup-jNtrt ami destitution on the part of wife or children shall constitute the crime, makes it possible to secure the return of a deserter who has left the state, and fixe penalty of imprisonment not exceeding one year for non-compliance with an order of court for supjiort.

The need for such a law is supported by statistics, During applications weie made to Philadelphia charities for aid by SI 1 deserted wives, with more than l.fftKl children under 1 1 years of one, and these are hut a fraction of the total number of cases of desertion. The laws of the state are wholly inadequate to meet the conditions; in fact the olTense in Pennsylvania is not classed ns a crime and the deserter needs only to get out of reach of a destitute wife to escape all obligation. There are only a few meaner offenses than this and the pending hill is a just measure. The solemn obligations of the marriage service are re-enforced by the duty of a man to support and educate his children. These things aie vital to the welfare of society at large.

The man who is not willing to keep his saertd pledges, or perform his duty to society, is a fit subject for compulsory process. It there is any real harrier to such performance the man may obtain release in the courts, but if he deserts his family from mere fancy or meanness of spirit, the law should deal with him summarily and severely.

It had more than its ordinarv load to-day, owing to cold. It conta'd every child that could squeeze -lside and others stood on the rear atform. Because this car had been so crowded, many who were waiting for it before the hill was reached could not get on, although some climbed on tlie front platform with the motor-man. A score or more children were compelled to walk, and they followed the car afoot. They say that when the car was still less than half way down the hill the railroad gates began to drop.

Peter Brady, the motorman, promptly shut off the power and applied the brakes. The speed of the ear was checked, but is continued to move slowly down the incline. There was no thought of danger. Then it began to move faster and faster. The ice-covered rails afforded no hold for the wheels and although Brady jammed his brake harder and then swung on the reverse, the momentum of the car grew at every yard and the car shot down toward the railroad.

When it was right at the gates the express thundered into view. Warned by the cries of those afoot and by their own sense of danger, those I on the platforms began to throw themselves off into the snow, and as the car sped along the few remaining feet to-' word the gates, perhaps one-third es- The Lenten season will open on Ash Wednesday, February Kev.

To relieve saloon keepers of the responsibility of selling intoxicating drinks to minors who misrepresent their age, Representative Coll of Philadelphia introduced a hill iu the Pennsylvania legislature last week, which provides that: Any person under the age of 21 years who shall knowingly enter a bar or saloon for the purpose of procuring intoxicating liquors shall be guilty of a misdeameanor and liable to be fined not more thau $50 and imprisonment not exceeding thirty days, or both; aud npou a second conviction shall be punished by imprisonment of not less tuau sixty days. If any person of known intemperate habits, and so designated by a member of bis family, shall uowingly euter a saloon for the purpose of procuring intoxicating liquois, he shall he liable to a fine of not more than $50 and imprisonment of from ten to sixty days. On the same day Representative Stulie of Philadelphia introduced a bill providing for the commit.meiit of persons habitually addicted to the use of alcoholic drinks or intoxicating drugs to a hospital or asylum for restraint, care aud treatment.

i 1 Made Idle by a Trust. flue of the great evils in operation of industrial combinations, from the point of Tiew of the wage earner, says Worlds Work, is their power to scatter a community to the four winds or starve its people into submission to the demands of capital. It has been pointed out that perhaps one man or a small group of men, by the mere act of signing an order to close up a plant, conld exercise a power of life or death oyer thousands of human beings. Something akin to this happened in the beautiful New England village of New Hartford, during last August and September, when the comparatively large cotton duck mills of that place were ordered closed. Nearly 1000 persons of the 2300 in the place were compelled to leave the town.

Nearly a hundred houses were boarded np and rents were offered free to the mill hands who remained, for some men who had worked thirty, forty or even fifty years in the plant were too old to get work elsewhere. With the population cut almost in half, the merchants of the place saw ruin before them. The pay rolls of the mills had been more than $175,000 a year; now they were wiped out. The income of the churches was cut down, a large part of the foreign congregation of the Catholic church disappearing as if swept out by a cyclone. There were fewer children for the schools.

The value of real estate declined, and those who had put their savings into homes found themselves unable to get rid of them. There were too many merchants, too many physicians, too many barbers and, one and all they sat down to see ho would go away or go to the wall first. Gloomy forebodings as to the increase of the poor fund of the town arose; the bells of the mills ceased to ring, the town band, that gave a concert every week, ceased to play; a water power, estimated as worth from $200,000 to lay idle; the machinery' of the mills was beiug shipped to the trusts mills in Alabama; only- the four walls of three large buildings remained. The town was dead; the heavy hand at a trust had crushed it. The first aecideut of a serious nature to Qccnrsiuce the Pennsylvania Railroad Company started the cut off on the N.

C. R. R. opposite Falmouth occurred on Saturday morning, when John Liddy was blown to pieces. Mr.

Liddy had placed a heavy charge of dynamite, connected the electric wires thereto aud sent an Italian, who usually manipulated the current, to the top of the hill. He warned everybody in the vicinity aud went to a shed several hundred feet south. From this place he was plainly visible to the other man.

saw death dashing down upon them. The wreck of the trolley car was complete. The pilot of the engine struck it almost amidships, and turned it partly around, and then the ponderous engine cut it in two. The upper part of the trolley was reduced to fragments under the drivers of the locomotive. One-half of the car was thrown to one side and lay on the tracks.

The other section was hurled some distance away. In every direction lay the injured and dead. The engine was brought to a standstill and from the train and from nearby houses men rushed to the rescue. The spectacle was appalling and many who started to work had to give up unnerved. Over from the high school, where the crash had been heard, and from the windows of which some had witnessed the accident, came pupils and teachers to aid in succoring their companions.

A lad who had been hurled to safety in a snow bank thirty feet from the crossing arose, brushed the snow out of his eyes and with a shriek rushed up the street to a fire box and turned in an alarm. Within five minutes as many dead bodies had been laid side by side in the snow alongside the track. One of the bodies, that of a girl, was found a block beyond. It had been carried there on the pilot of the engine. Load after load of the injured was sent away in patrol wagons and ambulances.

Within a short time there was not one injured person near the scene of the wreck and the dead were on their way to the morgue. left for Florida on Tuesday were H. S. Williamson, wife and daughters. Rev.

As a brief statement of what has been done and how'itjis regarded by the administration, we quote here what is said by Attorney General Knox, who is known to have drawn up the important features of these new laws: The legislation affecting the trusts passed at this session of Congress is satisfactory to the administration, and the prompt response to the Presidents requests is highly gratifying. A very long and good stride in advance has been accomplished, and the promises of last fall have been made good.

The giving and taking of railroad rebates is now prohibited by a law capable of effective enforcement against corporations as well as individuals, and the courts of the United States are clothed with jurisdiction to restrain and punish violations. The act creating the Department of Commerce vests in that department complete authority to investigate the organization and business methods of corporations engaged in interstate and foreign commerce, and to that end to compel the testimony of persons having the desired knowledge. The legislation is concise in its terms, bnt very comprehensive in its scope.

Last week, says The Intelligencer, was the banner week for the receipt of tobacco, and at times a score of farmers wagons could be seen at tobacco warehouses awaiting their turn for delivery. Several dealers received as high as InO.OOO pounds in a single day. They continue to report greater care on the part of farmers in getting tlieir tobacco ready for delivery.
