Overcome by coal Gas,

A narrow escap was made from
asphyxiation by William Snyder
and wife on Saturday last. During
Friday night the kitchen stove in
some way became clogged and the
gas from it so permeated the house
that when Mr.. Snyder, who is an
employee of Bickel 4 Co.'s store,
attempted to get out OF bed he wa'
unable to walk and his wife was in
the same condition. He managed
to drag himself to the window and
let in some fresh air and they re-
covere5a. sufficiently togo down stairs.
The effects OF the nauseating vapor
were felt the entire day and both
did not fully recover until yester-
day.

Daniel Beaver Dead.

On Wednesday morning, June %,
1898 at ten o'clock, Daniel Beaver,
one of the Oldest and best known
men of Snyder county, passed from
life to eternity. He was born in
Union township, Union County, now
Monroe township, Snyder County,
Pa, February -, 1927. He is
the son of Simon and Elizabeth
[Oldt Beaver. The father of ST.
mon and the grandfather of the de-
ceased was Michael Beaver married
to an OFT. They came up from near
Oley in Berks County and settled in
the neighborhood in which Daniel
died. Daniels mother, Elizabeth
Oldt, was the daughter of John and
Susanna Grouse Oldt. They came
up from the lower counties of the
State and settled near New Berlin
on the farm now owned by Charles
Oldt. Finding the Indians too des-
perate to risk their lives in that Vi
cinity, they went back to their pa
reuts' settlement in the eastern coun-
ties for short time and again came
back, this time to stay in the vicin-
ity of New Berlin. Daniel Beaver
was one of a family of IA children,
seven boys and seven girls all of
whom have preceded him to
the spirit world, except five, 3 sons
and 2 daughters, viz: Simon, who
with his family resides at Williams
port, William H., a mercant of this
place and Gabriel, also of this place.
The daughters are Mrs. G. c. Gu
telius and Christiana, unmarried,
also of this place. In 1851 the de-
ceased married Hettie Meyer, a sis
ter ofHenry Moyer ofJackson town
ship. The surviving children of
Daniel and Hettie Beaver are En-
ma, married to j. G. Mowrer of
Leona, Kansas Sadie married to
Frank Dock of Dry Valley Cross
Roads; Irene, married to Irwin II.
Herman of Georgetown; Jeremiah
Beaver, married to Harriet Kline,
residing at Dry Valley X Roads ;
Carrie never married, and died after
growing into womanhood. Lizzie
married to William Geise of Dry
Valley Y Roads, died several years
ago. Other children died younger.
He leaves also a great many grand
children. He has always lived half
way between Kratzerville and Dry
Valley y Roads and died there.
Mr.. Beaver was man of promi-
ncncc in his community, having sew
eral times been elected township su-
pervisor and school director and from
1888 to 1891 he held the position
Of County Commissioner of Snyder
County, having been elected on the
Republican ticket, theparty in whose
principles he always firmly believed.
He was shoemaker by trade and a
more industrious and Woodworking
man is difficult to find. He was q
member of the Lutheran church at
Kratzerville. Charitable, bcnevo-
lent, righteous and just, he passed
through life an honorable and Use
tul citizen. The widow survives
him. .-t
The funeral services were held on
Sunday morning at half past nine
o'clock at Kratzerville, when his
larg circle of friends and relatives
paid homage to the dead. Aged II
years, 4 months and 3 days. He
was troubled with Locomotor Ataxia
for four years, but the immediate
cause of his death was cramp.

Improvement has been but lately decid-
ed upon By the company. 1t Is made

business transacted On the company 5

ter will be followed by an extension of
the warehouse Thus new room for the

provided.
The extension of the ocean dock will
be IN line with the other improvements
pany mas IN hand n Seattle. When c.
]. Smith. receiver OF the oregon Improve
ment Company. announced the plans OF
the reorganization committee last fall.
the statement was made that the COM
pany when reorganized would expend N
the neighborhood OF one million dollars
on It's property In the west. Part OF the
contemplated improvements consisted In
the erection OF fine brick and stone
warehouse on Ballast Island OF the ocean
dock. The building OF this warehouse
will be started within the next few
weeks. When IL Is completed and the
dock is ext nded 10 the inner harbor line,
the company will have one OF the finest
docks on the Pacific coast.
An area OF space. ioo feet by rs feet
VIII be added to the capacity OF the dock
by the extension to the inner harbor line.
The improvement viii cost approximately
sl5.e0o. ard viii be completed IN about
six weeks. Three hundred piles have
been ordered by the company. They will
be subjected TO a process Of creosoting.
BY this process the plies for a distance
OF one and one-quarter inches from the
surface will be soaked with a preparation
known as coal tar creosote, which pro-
tects them from the ravages OF the tere-
do. These devastating little animals find
the creosoted wood poor article of diet
and rather hard upon their digestive or
gans.
How 10 complete the improvement and
not interfere with the traffic at the dock
is a matter upon which considerable
thought was spent 1t has been decided
10 build out to the inner harbor line from
each end of the dock. This will give space
for two steamers to discharge freight on
each side Of the slip. Freight will be
trucked to and from the warehouse un-
til the dock is finally enclosed across the
front and covered over with boards
Work on the new improvement will be
pushed as rapidly as possible. Supt. l..

iIy in forty-fve days.
