The people of Oakland were shock.
ed and saddened Monday last by the
the intelligence that Mr.. Archibald
LeoWenstein was dead. But few of
our people were aware of his injuries,
and none outside of the physician and
family supposed that they were very
serious. Deceased was in Cumber-
land just week previous to his death
and was thrown from carriage and
received the injuries from which he
died, blood poisoning intervening.
The funeral services took place We'd
nesday from his late residence. the
"Smithman House," in charge of
the knights of Honor, of which or
ganization he was a member. Re-
lIgious services were held in the
Lutheran church, conducted by the
pastor, Rev. G. w. w. Amick, assis.
ted by Rev. w. j. Shapes, Presiding
Elder of Oakland District. M. E..
Church. The services at the grave
were in charge of the Knights of
Honor, closing with the reading of
the Lutheran burial service by the
pastor. Members of Alta Lodge,
knights of Honor, attended in rega.
liza, and the members of the Oakland
Independent Band attended in uni
form.
Deceased had been member of the
Lutheran church for years, was an
upright citizen, and the unusually
large attendance at the funeral attes-
ted the esteem in which he was held
by his neighbors.
He leaves wife and four children,
mother, brother and several sisters
to mourn his loss.

A Straw as to New York.

WASHINGTON, October IA. - A
congressman who has just returned
from New York said this morning {:
81 saw General Viele, ex.congress-
man, on Change yesterday, and ask
ed him to tell me, honestly, for my
own Information, how he thought
the election would go in that State.
He replied New York will give
Harrison and Morton seventy thous-
and plurality, and | will give you
one incident, in many of the same
character, upon which 1 base my
judgment. | was up on the Central
Railroad the other day, and where
there were lot of laborers at work,
and we took a poll of a bunch OF
seyenty-five men. Just seven of them
said they would vote for Cleveland,
and everyone said he voted for Cleve-
land in 1884. Sixty-eight said they
would vote for Harrison and Morton,
because they were opposed to the
Democratic position on the tariff and
labor. / have seen so many tests of
this character that L have come TO
the conclusion that the Republican
candidates will have at least seventy
thousand plurality in New York "

Peter Cooper was a successful man,
He saw nearly a hundred years Of
active life, and ought to have known
something about economical subjects,
since he was one of the greatest of
American iron manufacturers, In a

end birthday, Mr.. Cooper, Mayor
HeWitt's father-in-laW by the way,
said: eff we desire to bring upon
our whole nation fate similar 70
that which has fallen to the lot Of
Ireland, Turkey, Mexico and Hindo-
stan, it is only necessary to arrange
our tariff in way that will induce
the people to have all their manufac-
turing done in foreign countries and
pay for it with the raw material OF
our own. Such a policy will. if am
not mistaken, secure for our United
States as rapid decline and fall as
that which fell to the lot of Spain,
when the Moors, her principal man.

country, Such a policy might crafty

folies and fashions of European life,
but it would bring ruin and wretch.

of mechanics of our country who
have nothing to sell but their labor,
To break up this diversified en-
ployment of so vast number by a
change of tariff, and then expect them
to find for themselves other means oil
living, is about as reasonable as it
was for Pharaoh to expect the Isral-
ties to make bricks without straw"

Body Found.


Our usually quiet village was
thrown into fever of excitement on
Wednesday of last week, hy a report
that man was found dead on the
mountain near Mr.. Geo. ShaW'S, at a
place "SpOok hollow" few rods
from the National road. For while
all talk of the tariff and favorite can
didates was forgotten, and the ques-
ton was who was it and how did he
get there. Squire Nathan proceeded
to have the problem solved by hav-
ing jury summoned and an inquest
held. Proceeding to the spot coat,
hat, satchel and cane were found near
a rock, behind which the man had,
no doubt, been sleeping. About %
yards from the place where these
articles were found, lay the body of
a man in a decOmposed state. The
officers opened the satchel and found
therein clothing, tobacco, matches,
tishho0ks, pens, medicine, &c. Two
cabinet photographs, supposed to be
of the man himself, and one photo of
a certain Capt. Britain. A number
of letters and business cards of Balti.

papes, and also an increase of pension

and that he was entitled to pension

sion, until the Sth of September, and
that on the 18th day of June, he was
in Baltimore. and pawned some
clothing for 1925. The position in
which he lay near small oak sap
ling. the shrub being bent, also a
strap near his head with a suspicious
loop in it, (the head being detached
from the body led to the conclusion
that he had probably committed sui
eide by hanging. The jury brought
in verdict of death from cause un-
known. He was very likely a native
of England, as the only friendly letter
found was from niece in that coun-
try. When he died IS only a matter OF
conjecture, but is generally supposed
to have been the latter part of July.
A great many stories are afloat,
and one that comes by way of Frost
burg will bearing telling. Some
time during harvest certain Billy
Lewis, hucksterer, in passing the
spot with wagon and pair of tomb.
stones, about midnight, heard a man
calling him to stop. but Billy sup.
posed he had no business with any
one there just then-in fact. he wan
ted to be somewhere else very sud-
denly. The uext day he told the
story to friend who, not taking it
seriously, told his friends that in
passing "Spook Hollow" some one
had called to Lewis to bring his tomb
stones in there. Billy not being
boastful of his courage said no more
about the matter, but he declares
now with all his might that he told
the truth. B.

more, Judge. All we ask is for votes
enough to elect him. And they are
