Arrested for Gambling in Lives.
READING, Pa, May 2S.-Informa-
tion was to-day lodged before Alder
man Brownwell, of this city, against
DR.. L. G. B. \ orgey,. of Pottstown,
and Albert DeIIaven, of Monocacy,
charging them with fraudulent con-
spiracy in procuring policies of insur-
ance in the State Capital Mutual Re-
lief Association, of Harrisburg, in the
sum of 5000, upon the life of Daniel
Gehris, of this place, who died one
week age. Information was also
! lodged against the same parties for
false pretence. The warrants were
placed in the hands of Constable Losh,
who proceeded to Monocacy and Potts
town and effected the arrest of Yorgey
and DeIIaven. The evidence is to the
effect that Daniel Gehris, upon whose
life the insurance was effected, died
n few hours after the medical eXamina-
ton was made. The doctor advised
the dying mans attendants to give
him milk and brandy in order to keep
life together until the application could
reach the company and a policy be is
sued. The policy was received on the
day after Gehris' death.

to have Mr.. J. F. Beale reinstated in
the mail route business. This looks to
us as no more than just. Mr.. .Beale

derhanded way that the post Office de-
partment should be the last to en-
