WEATHERLY.

Tile remains of the late Philip
Hoffecker, for many years Master Mecha-
nic, of the WeatherlY shops, were con-
signed to their final resting place IN Union
Cemetery, on Monday afternoon. The
funeral was largely attended by the many
friends of the deceased, who had come to
pay their last tribute of respect to his
memoy. Nearly all the prominent officials
of the L. Y. r. R., were noticed among
those who had assembled to attend the last
sad rites. Rev. Stevenson, of Mauch
! Chunk, conducted the services which were
| held at his late home, on Carbon street.
| Mr.. Hoffecker was held in high esteem by
! his employees, and in all his relations In
| life he showed that manly and humane
spirit that characterizes true manhood.
The many engines that were built here
under his supervision bear testimony TO
his knowledge of the elements of maehin-
cry, and his good Judgment which enabled
him to build an engine particularly suited
for mountain roads such as we have I'm
this section. He is missed in the shops
and IN the town. The family is in receipt
OF many messages expressing sympathy
for them in their hour of bereavement.
J Weatherly witnessed rather lively
= election, on Tuesday. The principal con
test was for burgess and justice of the
! peace. All the democratic candidates were
how ever elected, with the exception oil
burgess and Judge OF election. Tue follow
ing is the result OF the election: Burgess
p NJ. L. smith; town council. A. Kintz and
+ Henry Shaeffer; school directors, DAME
e Rouse and Harrison Rouse; justice of The
e peace, J. w. Hunter; tax collector. W
S Buck; assistant assessors, August Sielei
and P. L. Faust; judge, Chas. Bensinger
s inspector, W. A. Nuss; auditors, Z. A

o Daniel Rouse, the efficient superInten
u dent of the Weatherly car shops, ha
served most faithfully for twenty-fou
years IN the capacity of school director
in this town, and as he Is again elected b
u a most decided majority, he will serv
three years more, health and strength pei
miuing. We venture the opinion and W
n believe there Is not another pei son in Cal
l. bon county, who stood identified with Oh
school interests. of his town for such
i, long period And further we believe. tbs
u there are few directors in Carbon county
1. who take deeper interest In populi
education than he. His interest in schoi
h. work, has increased with his years
q service. More such men 10 this most in
n pOItant Office throughout the count
n would be a credit to the electors. and
boon to the school children Of CarbC
,is county.
