Sheriff Il. DuPre Hodge

not as a surprise, as 1t was known |
for several days that he was very
low and the worst might be ex-
pected, though it was hoped that |
he might be left to his mother |
less children, but IN his infinite
wisdom God saw fit to take him
to dwell with his beloved wife,
who preceded him only four days
to the spirit land. Such an un-
paralleled instance of sadness
was never known in this state,
unless during some prevailing ep-
idemic, where both the husband
and wife would be stricken down
almost at the same time and
pass away SO near together,
breaking up and destroying for
ever such a happy and pleasant
home. The funeral services took
place from the Baptist church at
IL o'clock, conducted by DR.. J. G.
Law, of the Presbyterian church,
assisted by Rev. w. Z. Bogart,
the Baptist pastor. The services
were conducted and the burial
took place under the auspices of
the knights of oythias, Knights
of Honor and the FraternaI
Union jointly, he having been a
member of each. There were
over a hundred members of the
| lodges present, and the church
was crowded to its fullest capac-
| lty by friends of the deceased.
The floral tributes were many
and beautiful. At the cemetery
surrounded by his sorroWing
brethren and friends, the body
was laid to rest 10y the side Of the
loved one, on whose grave the
flowers had hardly had time to
wilt.
Ben DuPre Hodge was born
ennr Sumter, S. g., January %,
1882. He moved to Hillsboro
county, Florida, in 1882 and en-
banked in the orange industry,
but the following year he came
to Marion county, located in the
settlement known as EImWOOd,
where he was successful as
trucker, general farmer and or
ange grower. 1t was here he
met Mrs. Martha j. Limbaugh.
Their acquaintance ripened into
love which led to marriage. Their
union was blessed with three
children, two Of whom survive
their parents. Several years la
ter Mr.. Hodge moved to Oclla
and became proprietor Of what
was known as the old Central
Hotel, now the ST. Denis, on
North Magno!iA street, and, as
in every thing Mr.. Hodge at
tempted, he became ye~y p"pu-
lar and successful landlord. Dur
ing the years he ran the hotel he
never lost interest IN his farm, in
fact maintained a steady interest
in The tlIling of the soil to the
day Of his death.
La the fall Of 1891 Mr.. Hodge
became Il candidate for sheriff ,
his opponents being =. FL. Nj
gent and A. r. Griffin, and so
close was the vote that a second
, primary was held, in which he
led Mr.. Nugent. by a small ma
jorlty.
SO popular grew Mr.. Hodge as
> a citizen and faithful and accom-
dating official that IN his last
race for sheriff, although he had
several opponents, he beat them
all by big majority.
E, AS officer and citizen, Mr..
+ Hodge held the confidence and
Z. respect of the entire community,
f. as we'll as among his extensive
acquaintance through the state.
, He had few enemies and almost
, every man was his friend. He
I was The soul Of honor in all bust
ness transactions, and his word

The controller of Luzerne county who,
in the opinion of Joseph d. Lloyd, is the
only honest man on earth, has received
another knock-down from the court.
Last week Judge Woodward handed
down an opinion in the case of John l..
Potteiger against this county. The
facts in the case as shown at the argu-
ment were that Potteiger, assistant
clerk of the orphans court, was refused
payment for his work by Controller
Lloyd and sued to recover salary due
under the act of 1897, $l,041.66 being
the aggregate of the monthly proper
tions OF his annual salary for the five
months OF January, February, March,
April and May, 1898, with interest on
each monthly sum from the date of the
presentation of the bills.
The defendants answer was tina I
Potteiger was appointed assistant clerk
OF the orphans court in March, 1897,
to serve under Hiram p. Kuntz until
1899, that at the time of such appoint-
ment his salary was fixed, that his
resignation January 3, 1898, was color
able only, being made with a view to
immediate reappointment in order to
obtain the benefit of tho increased sal
AIRY provided by the act OF 1897.
Judge Woodward's opinion is very
lengthy one, knocking Lloyd's argu-
ments all to pieces, and directs that
Judgment shall be entered thereon in
favor OF the plaintiff and against the
defendant for the sum of 81 ,O41 &c with
interest on the several monthly bills
referred to- ="

Two BsIItrerep,s Looked I'm.

James Beltz and James Cole met at
the latter's residence, corner OF Ridge
and Main streets, on Saturday evening,
and after exchanging several left-hand-
cd compliments agreed to disturb the
peace by indnlging in fstic encounter
under the rays OF tho electric light at
the above point. The battle was prog
ressing in rough and tumble style when
Officer James p. McNels happened
along and escorted the belligerents to
the borough cooler. Burgess Gallagher
had them brought before him short
while later and gave each his option of
enriching our depleted treasury by 81. 80
or spending five days under Janitor
Powelrs care. Beltz chose the former
as the lesser of the two evils and paid
the price OF sweet liberty, while Cole
concluded that the charge was too high
for the fun and is still in confincment.

Death Follows an Accident.

From the lIazletOn Plain Speaker.
On Friday afternoon as David Smul-
yam, iifteen-year-old boy, was playing
with a number of companions near the
No. boiler house in the southern section
OF the city not far from the new brewery,
he was caught between train OF coal
cars passing by and terribly manglcd,
both legs having been severed almost
from the body and his head having been
fearfnlly confused. Seventeen cars
passed over his legs and when picked up
the boy was unconscious. He was hast
lily removed to the miners hospital on
a stretcher but no operation was per-
formed because his condition would not
warrant it, He died shortly after being
admitted. The boys parents reside in
the southern part of the city.

The Associated Wheelmen met on
Thursday evening. The board OF direc-
tors was increased to eight by the addi-
tion of Secretary George Welsh and f.
ii. Albert and j. c. Berner. The bond
OF Treasurer J. S. Mcdonald, with Peter
Magagna as security, was accepted.
Sandy Run wheelmen reported having
commenced work and are doing well so
far, also that Mr.. Woodrins offered to
hire to them four head Of mules, carts
and plow at s. per day and that If the
association though it advisable to accept
the offer the work would proceed more
rapidly. The offer being a liberal one,
it was decided to permit the hire'ng, SO
as to rush the work. The directors were
empowered to have the stock certificate,
at the next meeting, If possible.

"Weltpin has thrown that Higgins
girl over, and l suppose Higgins will
make it warm for Weltpin."
"Higgins was man enough at first;
but when Weltpin explained that he
drew off strictly on business princi-
pies. Higgins had not word to say.
AS he says, business is the first con-
siderntion."
But how did Weltpin show that It
was business matterT
"Why, you see, Higgins has for a
long time bought all of his daugh-
ter's shoes at Weltpin's, and the girl
ls awfully hard on footwear. AS
Weltpin explained to her father, If
he married her, he would not only
lose a profitable customer, but he
would be adding good deal to his
regular expenses"

Color Kindness.

1t has been scientifically proved that
woman's color perception much ex-
ceeds that of man, while men, as a
rule, have a keener sense of smell.
Women's training in the details OF
dress doubtless accounts for much OF
this superiority. Men, however, who
were almost color blind have yet
shown surprisingly good taste in the
selection of dress goods for their wo-
men folks.
While on this subject of color, one
may mention that popular lecturer
on dress advised women to wear
street gowns the color of their hair,
house gowns the color of their eyes;
and evening toilets the tinge of their
complexions."

LOCAL WAR NOTES.

Freeland and vicinity has furnished
its share of recruits for the volunteer
and regular armies, but as they did not
leave town in body many do not realize
the number of young men the com
munity has at the front. The enlist
ments took place at SO many different
recruiting stations that the men are now
scattered from Cuba to the Philippines,
on the high seas, at Chickamauga and
at Falls Church. The boys are report
Ing promptly to the TRIBUNE of their
whereabouts and we will continue to

High Constable Molik's suit against
Freeland borough, for money due him
for buryng dead animals during June
was heard by Squire Shovlin Friday
evening, and judgment for the amount
claimed, $3.50, was rendered in the con
stables favor. The suit attracted quite
lot of attention from the public, and
the general sentiment was strongly in
favor OF the officer. The council re

burying of animals part OF the work
fused to recognize the right OF the coun
Gil to abridge his work, and with Attor

THE NEW COAL ROAD.
GETTING READY TO BUILD FROM
SCRANTON TO NEW YORK.
All the Stock of the Independent Anthra-
cite Line Has Been Subscribed, Bonds
Have Been Sold and Its Success Is Said
to BE Assured.

1t begins to look as il the individual
coal operators are in earnest about con-
structing a new line from Scranton to
New York. A charter has been grant
ed and the new line is to be called the
New York, Wyoming and Western Rail
road. The construction of this road
was brought about by the high freight
ratios on anthracite coal, and it is stated
that sufficient freight has been gnaran-
tccd by the coal operators, at GO cents
a ton, to pay the interest on the bonds
and dividend on the stock.
The road will start on its way to the
seaboard at Scranton, where it will CON
meet with the Wyoming and Lackawan-
ma coal fields. The main line will run
to New York, but it will acquire, it is
stated, the Lehigh and Hudson Railway,
crossing New Jersey to the Poughkecp-
sic bridge. This will give the road ii
New England connection.
The road will carry neither passen-
gers nor general freight. All the stock
has, it is said, been subscribed by the
independent coal operators, and bonds
have been negotiated and sold abroad
The entire cost of the road will. it is
estimated, be less than $40, 900, and
the road will, it is expected, be completed
within year. Surveys have already
been made and terminals and the right
OF way have been secured.
The officials OF the large coal roads do
not seem to be worried over the new
competitor. Before the new road is
completed there is no doubt but that
everything will be done to hinder the
work 1t is stated by some officials that
the individual operators will not have
enough coal to offer the road, us the
mines are being gradually worked out.
and it is only a question of time before
the large companies will control all the
good mines
The anthracite trade is so dun that
the limit Of 100000 tons agreed upon
as the July output will probably not be
reached. Tho demand is exceptionally
light, oven for this season, as the trade
is firmly convinced that the production
in July and August will be so heavy
that prices will surely weaken. Dealers
are therefore abstaining from buying
with such unanimity that there is IL
good prospect they will defeat their own
aims, for at the present time the outlook
is that the production this month will
not much exceed 1900, 900 tons.
