The story about the sale of the Freeman
first started by the POice, is still on its trav
els. After having made the circuit of New
Yorkand other distant localities, we thought
it was coming in on the home stretch when
we saw it published in the Indiana Democrat
the week following our denial of the report,
but now we notice that it turned up only
last week in Clark Wilson's paper, way out
in Parllers Landing; but where it will pop
up next time is vet to be revealed. Brothers
SAMSON and Clark both express much SOr-
row in parting with US, but their regrets
are little premature, of course their JOY
will he eXuberant when they find out, if
they ever do, that the parting part hasn't
come yet.
DR. D. w. Lewis, at one time and for
many years resident of this place, where
he maintained a high position in the medi-
cal profession and on the roll of citizenship,
died at his home in East Liberty, on Sunday
last, from the effects of injuries received on
the day previous by being thrown from his
buggy, which cOllided with wagon near
the gate of the Allegheny Cemetery, Penn
avenue. He WAS taken TO his Office III East
Liberty immediately after the accident.
from whence he walked home, seemingly
but little injured. Soon after, however, he
complained that one of his eyes hurt him,
and ere long his wife noticed that his mind
wandering. This was soon followed
by the paralyzatiOn of his entire body, and
above stated he died on Sunday. His
many friends in this locality will learn with
sincere regret of his sudden and tragic death.
We learn with unfeigned sorrow of the
death in San Francisco, on the 26th nit. of
an old time friend, Mr.. Michael Gallagher,
who for many years during the palmy days
Of the old Portage railroad carried on the
tailoring business at Summitville. this coun-
ty. from whence he removed to Altoona, but
subsequently took mp his abode in CaiifOr-
MIA. He was as kind-hearted and sociable
a gentleman as ever breathed, and those es-
pccially who with us found a welcome on all
occasions beneath his hOspitable roof, in the
happy days of ''lang syna," will not fail to
hold the memory OF this good old man in
long and grateful remembrance. His funer-
al was one of the largest ever witnessed in
San Francisco. Some twenty-five priests
were present at the High Mass of requiem
celebrated over his remains, and in the fu-
neral sermon glowing tribute was paid to
his hOuored memory. May he rest in peace.
