THEY WANT THE CASH.
A Big Revolutionary Claim to be Laid
Before Congress.
From the Philadelphia North American.

From the Philadelphia North American.
The Observation-Disclosures descendants-of
one Jacob II. De Haven, who lived in Mont
gomery county, Pa, and who contributed lib
orally Of his wealth to the United States gov
eminent to carry on the revolutionary war to a
successful issue, are making an apparent deter
mined move in the direction Of getting back
the money, which. with the interest of over
one hundred years, now amounts to some where
in the neighborhood Of "a, OOO, 900. The end, ii
is hoped, will be accomplished by the presenta-
ton to Congress Of bill asking that an appro-
priation be made to the heirs.
De Haven lived near Plymouth Montgomery
county, where he died about the year 1920 His
remains are supposed to be buried in the old
Swedes' burying ground, near Norristown,
though no tombstone nor monument OF any
kind can be found there to mark his resting
place. He was possessed of immense wealth
for those days, and is supposed to have brought
his riches over from the old country. His
brother, Peter De Haven, also accumulated
great wealth by manufacturing arms for the
government aud supplying ammunition, for
which he had special contract.
Jacob II. DeHaven was patriotic and an en-
thusiastic champion of the cause of American
independence. The revolutionary war had
progressed about two years, and money was
needed to carry it on. DeHaven was appealed
TO, and he loaned the government S45O, 900 in
gold. This was in l777. He lived some forty
years afterward, but the government never re-
imbursed him. 1t is said that the government
offered TO pay him back in continental money,
but he declined to accept this in exchange for
the gold currency that he had advanced Now
his descendants and heirs. who have come
down through three generations. are about to
lay before the government claim for the
original sum loaned, s450, 900, with interest
The descendants comprise chiefly grand
nephews and grandnieces, who are pretty well
scattered throughout the country, though most
of them reside in this sectioI. Some of the
claimants live in California.

scOnsin Ice for the East.

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
Within the last few days first-class ice from
the northern lakes has been sold, delivered in
Milwaukee, at IS per ton. A few men in the
vicinity of Wayback who do not know that the
price has advanced somewhat since January l
have sold their ice crop at s225 per ton, Blu,
not much is to be had at that figure. Large
quantities OF Wisconsin ice are being shipped
to Louisville and other southern points and
the Milwaukee aud the Northern in commune
ton with the St. Paul and the Monon route, is
hustling the cars OF GOODNESS through at a great
rate. Ice is delivered in Louisville forty-eight
hours after shipment from Milwaukee. 1t is
said that Cincinnati and Louisville men are
buying ice here in tho city and at points fur
Their north at "a to IS and paying the freight
themselves SO great is the demand in the
east that arrangements are being made to send
Wisconsin ice to New York city, and in response
to an application for rate on ice from Chi
caSo to New York the Central Traffic Associa-
ton has authorized rate of 81 per ton, to take
erect July 2. AT the shipping point allowance
may be made for shrinkage on the basis OF not
more than 1000 pounds per carload This
would make tho freight from Milwaukee to
New York about $3.50, and the ice would be
worth there i'll the neighborhood of $40 per
ton or s35 per car. In Milwaukee no advance
has been made in the prices announced at the
beginning of the season and the ton ratio OF a

TROUBLE IN A CHURCH.
Charges Brought Against q Pastor by
One of His Congregation.

Zion Evangelical Church near Cearfoss, Md,
has recently developed into church militant
because Of the differences between the present
pastor Rev. J. L. Miller, and portion of the
congregation. The gulf has boon widened be-
tween the parties for some time until yester-
day it eliminated, when Mr.. George D. France,
one OF the oldest members of the congregation,
preferred charges of assault and abusive Ian.
guaSe against the pastor before Justice Middle
kauff OF Hagerstown. 1t is alleged that the oc-
currence took place last April, but since that
time the pastor, it is said, has made divers
threats Of personal violence against Mr.. France.
Mr. Miller WAS arrested and placed under bail
for hearing Friday. The defendant several
years ago was n partner in the Hagerstown
Furniture Company. After leaving Hagers-
town he was admitted to the Pennsylvania
Evangelical conference and was assigned by
that body to his present charge.

few evenings since the front balcony was tenn

by the eager throngs of music lovers and col

crowded the railing aud steps in their desire
to enjoy the general singing OF glee songs
to the accompaniment Of the young ladies'
instruments. On Saturday afternoon quite a
nutter OF excitement was created by the arrival
of a large coaching party from the Plains, a
suburb of Warrenton, who drove over to
attend the german given by the young people
OF that town last Friday evening and the next
day continued their pleasure trip to the
springs. 1t was a picturesque sight to watch
the big coach with its merry freight on top
drawn by four beautifully groomed and high
spirited steeds as they approached the hotel

the pine forest drive within the grounds,

from the Philadelphia Inquirer.
'At present the trouble is to get things at To

last evening. Fruits and vegetables, espe.
cially the earlier varieties, are brought from q
great distance, and in order to carry well are
picked green. Ripened artificaly off the trees,
vines and plants. they not only lack flavor, but
are positively unwholesome. Take the toma-
toes, for instance, which are now in the mark ct.
You look in vain for a ripe one and the taste
is friGhtfuliy unnatural and unsatisfactory. 1t
IS the same with peaches, pears, apricots,
plums, and smaller fruits. So far as meat is
concerned, beeves are driven for miles and
miles, and when killed many of them are
bruised, thin and diseased. When they are
brought i'll cattle cars they are crowded to-
gether so closely that they cannot move without
tramping on each other and suffer terribly from
lack OF water and food. Sheep and swine are
In the same category. Under such conditions

is.offered for sale. In the past fruits and vege-
tables came from near at hand and were gath

JUMPED FROM A FAST TRAIN.
An Atlantic City Constable Loses His
Daring Prisoner.

The passengers on the afternoon express
train on the Camden and Atlantic railroad
were startled to see . man jump from the plat.
form in a swamp just above Pleasantvills, N.
j., as the train was rushing onward to Phila-
delphia at high rate of speed Inquiry 70
vealed that the man was Frank Wsllnger, who
was on his way to the county jail in charge Of
Constable Smith, on q charge Of assault and
battery with intent to kill Mrs. A nnie Kline,
hls clearinghouse mistress, with whom he
had quarreled about his board bill. The train
had nearly reached Nays Landing before the
astounded constable could realize that his
charge had flown.
He returned to Atlantic City crestfallen and
told Chief Eldridge his story in a manner that
excited hearty laugh. Wellingers wife. who
appealed SO pa,hetically to Chief Eldridge. but
was locked up with her husband, thinks her
husband has been killed by his rash attempt to
escape spending season Of anxiety in Jail and
probably term in states prison. He had ex-
pressed great fear Of appearing before Judge
Alfred Reed.

high housetop into public street would be

in exactly two seconds and would strike a per-
son standing directly under it, although the
victim should at the moment it is tossed re-
ceive a friendly caution to get out OF the way,
for the simple reason that should a person en-
gagged in the ordinary duties or pleasures of
daily life be suddenly brought to face death in
horrible form, he could not in two seconds
nor perhaps in four. so far recover from the
overwhelming CONSERVATION and fear as to en-
