Bf Storthing has taken what diplomats believe
to be the lirst .-tep toward a breach of the
union of Sw Ion and Norway. A resolution
introduced by a leading member of tho
Radical party to provide a purely Norwegian

union with Sweden, was adopted.

been a very stormy one, ami for the first
time in the history of Scandinavia the
champions of Norwegian indepcndauce
are in the majority. One of the first proceedings
of this sessiou was to invest the
Storthing with the power to turn the regular
troops into the'-Landevaern"' (militia),
the use or which, according to the old
constitutional provision, is forbidden beJond
the Swedish frontiers. This deprives
dng Oscar of the last chance to use the
Norwegian army for the common defence, j
* Before the Storthing adjourns it is be*
lieved that Norway will demand her own
consular and diplomatic service.
Since the beginning of the year the stubborn
Constitutional struggle between Norway
and Sweden has very often caused the
European press to predict civil war in the
peninsula at no distant day. The rupture,
however, had been steadily growing since
November 13, 1835. when King Oscar II. !
appoiuted a commission of seven Swedish
and seven Norwegian members of Parliament
to examine the Act of Union (Riksakt)
of 1815 and to suggest amendments
calculated to obviate future friction.
The commission brought in four reports
last spring?a majority and minority report '
for each nation?documents which. Between
them, discussed a multitude of
thorny questions without suggesting what
the King considered an acceptable solution
in any single instance. Two important
points upon which tiie Norwegian Com^
missloners insisted were a separate ConB
sular Service and the display at legations
Bk - -&&d ea^a^s'ss of the ancient Norwegian as
f well as the Swedish national standard.
LEAVES WRECKED A TRAIN
Clogged Air Brake* Caused a Fatal Col
ligion Near Wilkesbarre, Penn.
WiLKESBAKKE, Penn. (Special).?The
Buffalo express oa the Lehigh Valley Railroad
ran into the New York and Philadelphia
express going east on Wilkesbarre
Mountain at 3 o'clock Friday morning.
The killed and wounded taken from the
wreck are:
Killed?William Toxheim >r. fireman;
Fred Glasser. fireman; J. C. McGregor, express
messenger, Easton; Jacob Engleman,

Price, engineer, New York, badly scalded;
John Kohbliug, engineer, Wilkesbarre,
badly scalded; Charles Morgan, express
messenger, scalded about head, and John
Shanfleld, brakeman, Mauch Chunk, cut
about head.
The Buffalo express, in charge of Engineer
Rohbling, bad orders to stop ou a siding
on the mountain and let the New York
express pass. As Rohbling approached the
siding he discoverod that the air brakes
would not work. The train was moving
about thirty miles an hour down a ninetyfoot
grade. The engineer whistled frantically
for the hand brakes. He knew the
other train was about due. He reversed
his engine and stuck to his post, but could
not avert the collision.
In less than a minute the express from
the west, drawn by two heavy engines, hove j
in sight. A terrible crash followed on a
curve in a deep cut. Nearly all me passen- j
gere on both trains were asleep. Many of |
these were thrown out of their berths by J
the shock, but none was severely injured, j
An investigation shows that a heavy
windstorm prevailed on the mountain the
night before which cause 1 the leaves from
the forest to accumulate on the track. The
engine plowed into these leaves, which
clogged the braking apparatus.

. - .u- Co

assumed an unusual importance. Besides j pjf
a Congress to bo elected, there were at j foi
stake twenty-one Governors, thirty-one j 1*1
State Legislatures, twenty-threo of which i
will choose United States Senators.
The Republicans will have a majority in ! elc
both houses of the Fifty-sixth Congress, j j*
Losses in Republican Congress districts j tnj
throughout the country have not been | Dc
enough to tako the control of the House j l)a
from the Administration party. The ma- ,
jority has been reduced by thirty votes, but | h
the Republicans will still have about a score |
plurality over the combined opposition. . P.
The Republicans will gain a.Senator in each I
of these States: California, Delaware, In- j
diana. Maryland, Nebraska, New Jersey, ?
New York, North Dakota, Washington, ...
West Virginia and Wisconsin, now repre- s ,
sented by Democrats or Populists. This
addition'gives them a majority of twenty- 00<
six in the upper house. ..
Much interest was manifested here in the
Now York election, and no little surprise ..
created at its close results, jColonel Thoo- , t
dore Roosevelt was elected Governor by
about 18,000 plurality. Timothy L. Wood
ruff, the candidate for Lieutenant-Gover- J !
nor. ran behind his ticket over 1000 votes, 1
while his opponent, Elliot Danforth, polled .
nearly 0000 votes more than Augustus Van ,
Wyck.the Democratic nominee for the 'le
Governorship. The Republicans elected
Ufteen aud the Democrats elected nineteen ,
Congrcs-raen. What seems a peculiar feature
of the Congressional elections hero is J 0
that William Sulzcr, who openly made the 'j?
silver question an issue, was returned to |
Congress with a bigger majority th;n? 1S.
has been given for some time to a '
Congressman from New York County. The ?*j
contest between Congressman Quigg ami J;?
William Astor Chanler was watched with
keen "interest here, and the soldier will
take the placed! the civilian with about
('.000 plurality back of him. The Legisla- J
ture will be Republican by about thirty- *'
two on joint ballot, and a Ilepubliewi Sena- jlu
tor will represent the Empire. Statwin the Ll,
new Senate. T. E. Ellsworth, who introduced
the famous press censor bill carried ''
his State Senatorial district by forty-nine eI*
votes. The vote for Governor in the city
of New York was: Roosevelt, 203.881: tu;
Van Wyck, 292,819; Van Wyck's plurality,
83,933. Most of the cities in tfce State went ^ti
Republican, but Erie County with the city '*ri
of Buffalo gave a Democratic plurality of ?e:
2400. Roosevelt bad a plurality or 455 in
Rochester, which is the home of Superintendent
of Public Works, George W. Al- ?*j
dridge. The closest vote was jn Middle- J
town, where the majority was a tie, while
one Alderman was elected by four and an- ^
other by five votes.. The soldier vote, how- e'!j
ever, which has not been counted, will af- J
feet this election, as it will some other districts
where the votes are close. For instance,
State Senator Coggesballbas a majority
of seventy-nine, which ho had received
after a hard-fought canvass. But
when the 250 Oneida County soldier votes
are counted his majority may be increased
or decreased, although it is not expected
that he will bo defeated.
The election in Pennsylvania was a hotly *"
contested one. The Republicans won. and
Colonel Stone was elected Governor by
over 100,000 plurality. They will have
a #large majority in the Legislature
and as United States Senator Quay has an- (
nouueed his candidacy for re-election he

IN THE STATE PRISON.
The Tolberts are Now Locked up for Safi
keeping.
The chief development in the Phoe
ix race riot business occurred it
Columbia and but for the prompt ac
tion on the part of the county author
itios, Jno. R. Tolbert and hia sor
Joseph Tolbert, two of the leading fig
ures in the terrible trouble, woult
likely have met their death at th<
hands of numbers of men who hai
from the up-countrv. The intensity o
their feelings had been increased by i
report that young Private Miller o
the First regiment who had been firei
upon from ambush near Phoenix hac
died.
It was about two o'clock in the after
noon when the news became curren
that two of the Tolberts were in thi
city, having gotten thus far on thei:
flight from Phoenix. At once excite
ment ran high among the up-country
soldiers in the First regiment am

ward along Main street It was re
ported that the Tolberts had a room a
Wright's hotel, though they were no
registered there. Later on Joe Tol
bert was seen on the fltreet by somi
men from Abbeville and Greenwood
It then became certain that the repor
was true.
TLe crowd on the watch was not cer
tain where the men were and no movi
was made. Iu the meantime Lieut
Wyatt Aiken, having heard the men
were there, went before Magistrat
Smith and swore out a warrant for th
arrest of J.R.,T. R. and Joseph Colbert

The wcrrunt was placed in Folic
Sergeant Jones hands for service. Se

Jones Vgan tho work of locating tin
men. Ho finally four.d them in a roon
at Wright's hotel. Foth were heavih
armed and Juo. E. Tolbert did not fee
like submitting to arrest though he wai
weak from his wounds almost to th
point of 'delerium.
Finally tho men were taken down anc
placed in a carriage, being quickly driv
en to the magistrate'* office. They sen
for Judge Andrew CraVford, engagini
him to handle their case. Jndge Craw
ford waived a preliminary and the met
were escorted to his office. In thi
maintime Judge Crawford, knowing
the /danger that threatened the men
if they were known to be in the eity,
had arplied to Judge Gary for an ordei
for t'ie commitment of his clients to th<
State penitentiary for safe-keeping,
The order was promptly granted anc
Sheriff Cathcart then took charge o
matters.
The cT'eotor of customs, John R
Tolbert, is certainly a man of iror
nerve aid will power. And what ii
more, he does not seem to know who
constitutes fear. His body is a mas:
of wounds from tho crown of his hea<
to below his hips. The wounds hat
been bandaged by his son when he be
gan his llight and from that time unti
he reached the State prison Thursday
pfternoon had never been dressed,
Clotted blood could be seen on th<
mass of rough bandages. Thougl

... 11,1
- SCCIUS HOHSCUSC IU il UUU'UII'UII.11 UIIUU,
2 is perpetrated by a writer in the "Brit*
isii Metjieal Journah" who says that
3 laughter in itself caimot very well kill,
but it may do harm. Hysterical girls
I and boys with kindred nervous affecj
tions are often given to immoderate
< laughter, which tends to increase nervous
exhaustion. Dr. Feilchenfeld re1
lates a ease in which a little girl suf
fcred from very definite cardiac synip'
toms after immoderate laughter. The
? patient was thirteen years old, and
x had previously been free from any
8 sign of heart disease. After laughing
? v?n and off for nearly an hour with
i some companions she suddenly felt
stabbing pains in the chest, and was
r seized with fits of coughing, fol3
lowed by cardiac dyspnoea, very
j well marked. Feilchenfeld believes
f that the cardiac disease directly resulted
from immoderate laughing."
Looked at from an every-day standi
point most people will still believe
j that it is better to laugh and die than
t not to laugh and live. Heretofore the
| world has thought that laughter
J lengthened life, and most people, in
spite of l>r. Feih hcnfeld, will conj
tinue to think so.
