Mr.. EDITOR Will you allow me
space in your valuable paper to report
the proceedings of meeting of the
patrons of Grange Hall school on Mon
day, 29th ult? The meeting was organ
lied by electing w r. Williams. chair
man. and j. E. Deceli. secretary. The
object of the meeting was to take steps
to reopen the school next fall on
more permanent basis, and to raise it
to a higher and more efficient plane of
usefulness than had characterized it
heretofore.
Prof ID. S. Burch, being present by
invitation. was called upon for a speech
and responded in his usual clear and
fOrcible manner. setting forth not on
ly the necessity for education, and the
duty of parents in this respect, but the
great advantages to community of an
institution of learning of high grade in
their midst.
Prof. Burch was unanimously elected
Principal of the school for the period
of five years. and Board of nine Trus
tees was appointed. who are charged
with the duty of looking specially after
the interest of the school. w. r. Will
liams is President of the Board, j. f.
Decell. Secretary. Rev. JOS. Buckets,
Treasurer. 1t was ordered that the
school open on Monday. the 18th day
of September next, and the session to
continue for ten months.
1t is matter of congratulation to

vices of Prof. Burch have been secured
as principal of the school, and that too
for period of years. He is widely
known as a Christian gentleman, of
scholarly attachments. and as an educa-

prosper, but become in standing and
efficiency second to no high school in
the State. The buildings are new and
commodious. One hundred and fifty
pupils can be accommodated in the
three lecture rooms. while the board
ing house for girls. in charge of ". NJ.

This is the name, suggestive OF so
much firmness, which has been select
ed as the title of Brookhaven's new
military company, and those who know
the ''grit" of the men who compose it
will agree that it is a most appropriate
one, which will never be brought into
ridicule by any act of theirs in try
ing emergency. The S. G.'s were form

A KNITTING FACTORY.
Leading business Men of Brookhaven
Meet to Discuss the Project

Leading business Men of Brookhaven
Meet to Discuss the Project.
A meeting of leading business men
of Brookhaven was held at the Mayors
office last Friday night to consider the
subject of establishing cotton and
WOODEN knitting factory. Mr.. f. f..
Seavey was called to the chair and f..
f. Brennan elected secretary. The
project was fully discussed, and it was
shown that such a factory as Is pro-
posed, with latest improved machinery,
can be built and put in operation for
$4,000, and that it would prove a
profitable investment and furnish en-
ployment to about 100 operatives, in
Guiding about 10 girls or young ladies'.
Though the meeting was called on
short notice there was fattering at
tendance and much enthusiasm mani
tested. About $4,000 of stock was
subscribed on the spot and committees
appointed to canvass the community
to raise the balance.
The idea is to build and run the en-
terprise with home capital, and as the
capital is here there is little doubt of
success. A thoroughly competent
man to act as manager can be secured
who will himself put seven or eight
thousand dollars into the enterprise if
the rest is raised.
Here is a chance for Brookhaven to
do some thing for herself that will be
of permanent and substantial advan-
tage to every interest of the town. No
citizen who has any capital he could
invest should decline to take stock in
the enterprise, as it will pay a dividend
in many ways. The project has been
started right. If Brookhaven is to
grow and have prosperous future, her
own business men must lead off and
not wait on outside capital or men.
The leaders in this movement, we are
glad to note, are men who have been
business successes in other lines, and
this is a most favorable augury. They
are such men as the Messrs. Seavey,
+. F. Becker, the Bowskys, McGraths,
r. r. Scherck and others equally we'll
known.
As this report closes, The LEADER is
gratified to learn that the subscription
committees are making encouraging
Roadway.

they had done so. His last predic-

Hung For Numbering his
Mother.

On last Thursday morning at 1902,
Ralph Crossmire was hung at Smeth.
port, Pa, for having murdered his
mother in Farmers Valley on Novem
beI 10Th, 1892. He was dead in IA
minutes.
1t was all awful crime. His moth
er stood III the way of his desire to
gain possession of the homestead
farm left by his father, and leaving
the place at Mount Jewett, where he
was employed, he walked to his old
home at Farmers Valley, concealed
himself in the barn, and awaited the
approach of his mother. When the
gray-haired woman entered the stable
he seized her by the threat from be
hind and strangled her to death.
Then he tied rope around her
throat and suspended her body from
a rafter in the stable to make it ap-
pear that she had committed sui.
eide.
