Picnic at Mountain Park,

The joint picnic of the A. o. H., B. oi

large as it would have been hat

the rain would not cease and those who
came to compete were somewhat disap
pointed.
The military drill for beautiful
sword was to have been special feature

went through the drill, making fine
showing and claiming the prize by max
ing $40 points out of a possible l 200.

Junior Mechanics Meet.

The Junior Order United American
Mechanics have possession of Johnstowr
this week. They came in large numbers
and were received courteously. At 1C
O'Clock on Tuesday morning the opera
house was crowded at public reception
at which Mayor Boyd delivered an ad-
dress of welcome. The address was re-
sponded to by Rev. Mr.. Weaver, of
Meyersdale.
Immediately after the addresses were
concluded the state council went into
session. State Councillor Charles N.
Raymond presided and the first business
was the presentation of credentials by
the delegates.
The state board then held an execu-
tive session at which the credentials
were examined and several questions of
private interest were considered. New
members of the state board were install
led and after the consideration of other
minor business matters the council
adjourned.
At O'Clock the parade of all visiting
brothers was held over the principal
streets, fully 5000 being in line, making
very creditable display.

New Trial Refused.
From the Newsdealer.

From the Newsdealer.
James Mclaughlin, of Pittston, con-
victed at the last term of court of man.
slaughter for killing James Glmartin, of
Pttston, was refused new trial on Mon
day. The argument took place before
Judge Lynch some weeks ago, the con-
tention of the defense being that Nc
Laughlin acted in self defense, as Gill
martin was attempting to force his way
into the defendants home after IL
O'Clock at night and on Sunday MORN
ing when the saloon was supposed to be
closed. The point was also taken that
Gilmartin would not have died had the
wound been treated properly.
Judge Lynch in his decision said that
he did not consider the new evidence or
the points substituted by the defense of
sufficient moment to warrant new trial,
and the rule to show cause why new
trial should not be granted was accord
ingly dismissed.
The case will in all probability be
taken to the supreme court, but as John
7. Lenahan, who, with General Nc
Cartney, conducted the defense, is in
California it has not been definately
decided to do so.

Collision on the Lehigh Valley.

Lehigh Valley passenger train, No. z,
which arrives at Freeland at 6.5S p. m.
met another passenger train, No. 1874,
near Fairview on Tuesday, and but for
the locality where the accident occurred
the crash would have been attended
with frightful loss of life. The trains
met on the reverse curve near Fairview,
and as both engineers were able to see
one another's trains the brakes were ap-
piled and the collision was scarcely any
more than shock to the passengers,
although some of them received very
severe cuts and the engines were badly
damaged.
superintendent Esser says Engineer
Hufford, of No. 134, is to blame for the
accident, as he had orders to lay at Slo-
cum siding, mile below, until Engineer
Nonnemacher had passed him with No.
Z. Hufford is one of the oldest en-
gineers on the road, but forgot his orders
and ran past the siding.
No. z was more than three hours late
in arriving here and the passengers were
thankful the collision was followed with
so little damage.
The injured are: Alex Mitchell, of
Wilkes Barre, cut and bruised about
both forearms; E. j. S. Hoch, of Allen
town, thumb broken and nose cut; Theo.
A. Cross, of Rummerfeld, Pa, hand
bruised; Conner Jones, of Stockton, back
sprained and shoulders wrenched; Miss
Maggie Sweeney, of White Hayen, lip
cut; "Juber' Sweeney, of White Haven,
ankle badly sprained; E. M. Richards,
of Wilkes-Barre, bruised about the arms
and legs; W. G. Gray, of Bristol, leg
badly sprained; Brakeman Sitgreaves, of
Easton, cut on head; Brakeman VIM.
File, of White Haven, cut and bruised;

Barre, cut over eye.

HE FAILED TO ARRIVE.
STRANGE DISAPPEARING OF THE
GROOM BEFORE A WEDDING.

Left His Home for the Brides Residence
Been Heard of Since-Friends Unable to
Secure Any Trace of the Missing Man.
By way of Hazleton comes the follow
ing account of the disappearance of a
man an hour before the time he was to
be married: The towns of Conyngham
and Nuremburg are greatly excited over
the sudden disappearance of Wallie
Stauffer. Stauffer is the son of farmer
who lives at Nuremburg and was en-
gagged to be married to Miss Name
Weaver, the daughter of prominent
resident of Conyngham.
Monday was the day set for the we'd
ding and arrangements for the happy
event were made on an elaborate scale.
Rev. j. B. Kirschner was to perform the
the ceremony at 2 o'cock that after
noon.
Early in the morning young Stauffer
drove to Conyngham and after spending
an hour with his intended bride, re-
turned home to prepare for the wedding.
1t was arranged that the ceremony
would take place at the Weaver mansion
and the reception held subsequently at
the Stauffer residence at Nuremburg,
where the young couple were to make
their future home.
A large number of guests were invited
to both houses and at the appointed
hour all was in readiness for the celebra-
ton of the event. Rev. Mr.. Kirschner
was on hand to tie the nuptial knot
The young lady stood ready, but as
the time drew near and Stauffer did not
put in an appearance, a feeling of disap-
pointment gradually asserted itself.
When O'Clock came he was still ab-
sent. After waiting an hour a messen-
ger was dispatched to Nuremburg. The
house was also filled with friends and
guests waiting to receive the bridal
couple.
1t was the learned that young Stauffer
left the house at l o'clock to join his
intended bride. He was seen taking
the foot path across the field and enter
ing the woods which border it. After
this all trace of him is lost.
The guests at both houses dispersed to
their homes and the news of the mans
strange disappearance soon spread. 1t
created much excitement. By some his
absence was at first considered volun-
tary, but he did not turn up toward
evening and all efforts to find him prov
ed unsuccessful.

with man named Collins, and, it is
said, during the fracas that ensued be-

Brislin was kicked down the steps into a
cellar and so badly used up that he died
in short while.

fight originated. Brislin was a married
man with several children.

the senate. The president is abso-
Iutely incapable of making such a
treaty without the aid of a senate.
Conceive of Mr.. Cleveland'5 plac-
ing before the senate Of the United
states a treaty binding the Amer
lean people to maintain by force
indefinitely native queen of any
kind of reputation good or bad, in
power over the civilized foreign
population of Hawaii. Such a
proposition would have a very
questionable odor at the outset,
and the longer it was considered
by the senate the more unsavory
1t would become. The people OF
Hawaii may rest easy in the assur-
ance that her ex-majesty will
never get such a guaranty as she
needs, nor will she dare TO ascend
the crippled throne without it.

Much has been said and writ
ten concerning the frauds perpe-
trated under the pension laws,
which were designed to afford
relief to INDECENT soldiers who have
served in war, and many people do
not believe that such frauds exist.
The following from the New York
Times narrates an instance bearing
on the subject. According to the
Times, the law provides for pen
sion of $72 per month to persons
who are totally helpless" and
who ''require the regular aid and
assistance of another person."
Under this law Justice Charles
Dean Long of the Michigan court
of appeals has not only been draw
ing a pension, but has also received
over $4,000 in arrears, while at
the same time he has been in re-
ceipt of a salary of $1,000 per
annHm as the judge of the court of
last resort in his state. The COM
missioner of pensions has now
stopped the payment of the pen
sion, pending investigation into the
facts, and the pensioner has ap-
piled for a mandamus to compel
the continuance of the pension. No
wonder the pension roll amounts
to one hundred and forty million
dollars annually.

The Last Pensioner of 1872 Gone.

Pension Agent Clemens has
drawn a red line through the last
name upon 1912 record and the
book is finally closed. News had
been received that Benjamin
Churchill of Galesburg, Ill, the
last veteran on the list at this
agency, had died at an age of
nearly 100 years. Little was
known of him personally at the
agency here, as all of his commu-
nications with the Office were
through the mail. The record
shows briefly that he was private
in Captain E. Wheeler's company
of New York militia. His birth
place was Alixis, n. Y. Veterans
of 1912 usually receive a pension
of $12 month. By special act
of congress Churchill drew $50 a
month. "When we came into
Office three years ago." said Mr..
Clemens, "there were twelve pen
sioners of the, war of 1912. Now
the last one has gone to his well
earned rest."-Chicago Herald.

PRESIDENTIAL GUARANTEE OF ARMED
SUPPORT WORTHLESS.

A serious element of improbable
litv exists in the alleged demand
made by the ex-queen for guaran-
tee of armed support of her over
turned throne by United States
forces in case of restoration. 1t is
not that she would not inexorably
need such support, nor that she is
next beyond doubt keenly sensible
of such need, thanks to the sug-
qestions of Mr.. Davies, who would
equally want such protection for
his own protegee. 1t would I'M
ouestionably be the height of in
sane folly for either of these ladies
to attempt to retain power for a
single day against the popular in
dignation unless watchfully guard
ed by foreign bayonets.
The improbability Of the story is
lat neither the ex-queen nor the
minister who is alleged to
have listened to her, could
well overlook the obvious fact
that no such guaranty IS that
asked for could by any possibility
be given by the president without
the consent of the senate If not OF
both houses of congress. Such
guaranty is not a mere promise. 1t
must be made a formal treaty
obligation to confer security. The
restored queen must have full
treaty stipulation of the protection
required, or she has nothing that
can be depended on.
But every tyro knows that all
treaties must receive the consent OF

A PROPOSITION was introduced
into the lower house of congress,
during its late session, to annex
the territory Of Utah to the State
OF Nevada. The latter had a popu-
lation of 40, 761 In 1890, while Utah
had then 207,905, and is rapidly
growing. This proposition has met
with favor everywhere except in
Utah, whose people scorn the idea
of being absorbed by a state which
has never been a credit to itself nor
the Union. They also oppose the
idea of giving up the name of
Utah ; but this could probably be
readily changed after the union is
effected. They adjoin each other,
and possess the same general char
acteristics, and the proposed union
appears to be one which would
result with benefit to both. The
impression now is that Utah will
not be admitted to statehood by
itself, because its admission would
add two senatorial votes to the
western silver section Of the Union.

Mats, an article you are in need
of since the heavy mud-pro-

able steel mat that will last
forever. The one at our front

years and has withstood the
tramping of thousands of feet.
If you have a steel mat and
want something for the door

half the price you've been
paying.
There's something about the
quality of our silverware that

themselves as money makers
they must start on the right
track; 'all roads lead to

is by the use of stays and
washers in making a fence.
You are throwing money away

ably with redwood posts for
