lRATE POLICY HOLDERS.
Denouncing the United Brethren Mutual
Aid Society.


Aid Society.
The Philadelphia Record OF this morn
ing publishes the following despatch from
Harrisburg; The policy holders in VIII
mington, Del, of the United Brethren
Mutual Aid Society, of Lebanon, Pa, are
not the only ones who are charging the
officers Of that organization with decep-
tion and fraud. Last April, when suit
was brought by the state against this
society to compel the directors
to change the method Of electing
directors so that they would be deprived
OF monopoly Of that business. and the
policy holders given a say in the matter,
a prominent state official received numer-
GUS letters Of complaint from people who
claim that they have been treated ont
rageously. The suit is still pending in
court, but special court has been called
for December 2, at which nothing but
State cases will be tried, and then the
United Brethren Society will have its
turning over.
For many years the Directory OF this
institution has been a close corporation.
The Directors annually voted themselves
big salaries, and the place was a sinecure.
1t is said that the widow of a Director
who died wanted to class his directorship
among his assets and sell it to the high.

An Amusing Inoident.

A lsughable accident occurred on
Washington street this morning A
gentleman was walking rapidly along,
unconscious of danger, when three frol-
licking dogs came bounding behind him.
The foremost, which was The largest of
the three, was running with his head
turned toward the others, utterly regard
less of where he would land. Unfortu-
nstelY for the gentleman, as well as for
the dogs, the combined momentum Of the
latter was brought to bear on the leg of
the former, back of the knee. Just as
the other leg was raised to take
a step. The result of the collision
was PROSTATE mass of man and dogs in
a position not at eli graceful, with each
integral part trying to gain the ascend
encY. The gentleman, after gathering
himself out of the confusion, looked
around with an evident desire to count
the witnesses to his misfortune, and
after brushing away the dirt proceeded
on his way apparently injured mentally
more seriously than physically.

FAILURE AT MILFORD.
j. Andrew Harris, the Gamer, Flee
from His Creditors.

j. Andrew Harris, the Gamer, Fiees
from His Creditors.
All Milford is In a dreadfullv excited
state this morning and many of her mer
chants are walking about in semi .dazed
condition, so completely have they been
deceived and swindled by one whom they
conhded in. The cause Of all this is the
failure of the canning firm of ]. Andrew
Harris q Co., the principal member of
which, J. A. Harris, has decamped, leav-
ing numerous creditors to bewail his
departure Harris shut down his can
merry two weeks ago, and ever since has
been engaged in disposing of his seasons
product Maturing bills had all
been STAYED of under various pretexts
until Saturday afternoon. Then the
farmers and merchants became so clam.
orous that he packed his household effects
into wagon, and, leaving his wife and
children behind, fled from the storm to
Harrington, nine miles away, where he
took the train for parts unknown. He
was not missed until Monday morning
when his family left on the 10 train to
join him.
The total amount Of his indebtedness
is about $40, 900. The farmers of the
'AeAhANg VIM nuppiltu MN WIN pehfne8
and tomatoes, are the heaviest losers,
though Milford merchants have already
entered up 81, 500 against him, most all
in small amounts. Harris is about 30 years
old, and located on farm near Milford
three years ago. firing Of agricultural
pursuits he sold this place and moved 20
town, where he built cannery, which
he has operated only during the season Of
1889.
All the fugitive left behind him were
200 cases Of canned goods, piano, and
some heavy furniture The heaviest
loser by his dishonest methods Is Powell.
the Milford lumberman who supplied the
material for the factory building. just
aifew hours before he left, Harris pur-
chased a suit Of clothes at a Milford store
and gave in payment a check on a bank
where he had no funds.
It is rumored that John S. Greer was
interested in the firm and many will try
to hold him responsible for the debts Of
the defunct cannery. He denies. however,
that he was associated in business way
with Harris. and win resist payment.

Exnlnsion of Gas.

What might easily have been a fatal
accident happened at the house of the
Delaware Fire Company about o'clock
last evening. Plumbers had been at
work during the day and after the gas
had been turned on it was
evident that it was leaking
c. H. Evans. the driver, called the
attention Of Mr.. Williams, who was pres
ent, and they commenced to search for the
leak They had looked every place they
thought and the gas still continued to
escape when Evans thought of closet in
which there were two elbows
of pipe. The closets is in long
hallway and there being no light
Evans struck a match and opened the
door. Immediately there was an ex-
plosion which rendered Evans insensible,
and he was carried by Williams to the
outer room. Evans had his wounds
dressed and he is much better this morn
ing, though badly burned about the
head and eyes.

Kickers We Meet.

A gentleman who was for years City
Councilman and who is very much inter
ested in the city's prosperity said that he
did not wish to find fault with any one
but he thought that it was an 'inconsis-
tent thing for the Board of Trade, which
is supposed to be organized to advance
the best interests of the city, to talk
about Improvements when the
board itself, it is safe to say,
contains anywhere from twenty to
thirty representatives Of firms which
have shut of one or more streets IF
this is right, he said, they should put
it in their list of advantages that manu-
facturers have in settling here. If they
take a site on the river front they can
take possession of and fence in as many
streets as they please"

1t looks very much as if the village
fathers made mistake when they dis
pensed with night policeman, and as if
the error would grow more apparent as
the season advances and people get out
in greater numbers in the evening. There
is a lot of boys who disgrace themselves
and the village almost every night
by running up and down the streets,
scuflling and wrestling on the sidewalks
and whooping and yelling like troop of
wild Indians. a little caressing with a
club in the hands of an able-bodied officer
would do them good.
