PENIS Body Is Wanted.

Philadelphia, Oct. 25.-There is a
plan afoot to bring the body of Will
liam Penn to this city and place it in
the courtyard at City Hall. 1t is not
likely to prove successful, however,
as the llneal descendants of the found
er of Philadelphia are opposed to any
such steps.
About sixteen years ago Charles c.
Harrison, Provost of the University of
Pennsylvania, went to London in be-
half of the enterprise, but the British
Government refused to grant the re-
quest. The relation between England
and the United States were not very
cordial at that time, and Il. is thought
Inatthis had something to do with the
refusal.
Mr.. Alexander P. Brown, who has
just returned from England, talked
with several members of Parliament
while abroad, and it his opinion that
the transfer of Penn's body would now
be granted by England if such an APP
plication same from the proper source.
The English branch of his descendants
will fight such a step bitterly, however,
and very little aid is expected from the
American branch.

Dr. W. M. Henry.

The death of DR.. w. M. Henryywhose
hopeless condition has been mentioned
from time to time in the Leader, oc-
Cured at his home on Gilman avenue,
West Side, at half past FIVE o'clock
Friday morning. Death was the result
of numerous growth which bafled
the skill of able physicians.
Dr. Henry was born at Plttsburg,
Pa, Nov 30, 1897 He was direct
llneal descendant Of the illustrlous
Patrick Henry, the orator and states
man of Revolutionary times.
DR.. Henry's boyhood days were
spent in the city of his nativity and
there he received his education. Later
he was a student at the New York
Medical School, from which institution
he was graduated in 1860. He then
spen a year in travel and at the out
break of the civil war was in Loulsi-
ana.
He returned to Pittsburg and was
tGlli iiilanlDIcu d SulBtOH III Ille ulIly
sixth Pennsylvania Cavalry, with
which he served throughout the re-
belhon.
After the war he removed to Fort
Wayne, Ind, where he remained until
1869, when he came to Washington
county and engaged in the practice of
IS profession, which he continued un-
his last illness.
He was we'll known in Marietta and
during his thirty years residence here
gained a large number of friends to
whom the news of his death is a sad
message. He was a man of the high
est honor and striking personality
and his ability led his fellow citizens
to select him as member of the Coun-
Gil in which capacity he served the
city well for a number of years. He
was also a member of the Board OF
Health.
He leaves wife and two sons, Frank
G. and Charles F. Henry, who have
the sympathy of many friends in theii
loss of father and husband.
Funeral services will be held at the
residence, 2O4 Gilman avenue, Wes
Side, at 2:30 standard time this Friday
afternoon.

. Lost His Check.

Pat Daley, a driller, who with his
fam y has been living at Cairo for the
pas, few months, lost trunk full of
valuable property this morning in a
peculiar way. DAILY and his family ar
rived here last night with the inten-
tlon of making this their future home.
They left their trunk at the b. & o. de-
pot over night intending to remove 1t
early this morning.
In some manner, Mr.. Daily lost the
check for the trunk and he went to
prove his property and remove it, But
the finder of the check had been there
before him and removed it not an hour
previous to the owners arrival.
Baggage agent J. c. Phelps remem-
bered giving out the trunk, but did
not remember the appearance of the
person who presented the check. Dal-
ey reported the matter to the police
and Officer Hickman was detailed to
look up the trunk. Daley valued the
trunk and contents at $150.-Sentinel

three o'clock Thursday morning, after
an illness of only few hours
Mr.. Strahl had been attending to his
duties at the bridge as usual on nurs-

he was stricken by paralysis and in a
few minutes lost consciousness. He
remained in a state of insensibility un-
til his death few hours later.
He was 61 years of age and leaves a
