The Late Albert LANCE.

The Terre Haute Express Of Monday
has the following notice of the late Hon.
Albert LANCE, who died in that city on
Saturday night:
'sMr LANCE was born at Charlottes-
burg, Prussia, on the 10th of December,
1901. His youth was passed in the
schools Of his native country, and when
he had attained sufficient age he became
a student Of the celebrated University
Of Halle. Here he graduated with dis
tinction in 1928, and Immediately be-
took himself to the study of the law -
He devoted great attention to .prcpara-
ton for his profession, and entered up
on the practice Of it with fine prospect
of success. He was. however, Of the
liberal school of politics, and became
much interested in republican inetitu-'
tons and in certain governmental re.
forms which were then being discussed,
His zeal in these matters made him OBJ,
noxious to the authorities of his native
country, and caused him to leave it and
emigrate to the United States in 1929.
He came to this city in 1886, and has,
during the past thirty three years, made
his home among us. Mr.. LANCE held
the Office OF Magistrate for many years,
comforting honor upon the Office In
1o49 he was appointed United States.
Consul to Amsterdam, % whittier he re I
moved with his family and spent two
years. Returning in 1851, he was soon
after elected Auditor Of Vigos county,
and served consecutively as such until
1860, when he was elected Auditor of
State, and filed that office during a sin
gle term with great credit to himself
Soon after his return from the capital,
Mr.. LANCE was elected Mayor Of this
city, and subsequently re elected to the
same Office. Since his retirement from
the Mayoralty, he has been somewhat
engaged in the profession, but has been
rlevoting his chief labor to the prepare
ZION of an abstract of titles of the real
estate of our county-a much needed
Undertaking, which has been perform ed
with the most pains>taking care and ex-

statement made in connection with the
tragedy, and the statement telegraphed
from Wilkesbarre in the name Of the
Miners Union that nobody believed in
incendiarism was sufficiently disprov-
ed by the sworn testimony bes
