Death of Geo. b. gOOd.-There was
a sadness brought over the town on
Monday noon by the death OF George
B. EllegOod, one of the most popular
men in the railroad service there.
Death came to him about noon on
Monday after prOtraced illness from
Typboid pneumonia. He was in his
oath year. The deceased has been all
ing with the grip for several weeks
past Shortly after he and his wife re-
turned from trip to New York City
during the holidays, he fell victim to
the Grip" and by the time he was
about getting over the effects OF one
spell he would have another until 1t
developed in pneumonia. He caught
fresh cold last week, and before the
Doctors could get the disease under
control, lie passed away. His death
cast a widow over the whole commun-
ity. Mr.. Ellegood was a man OF excel
lent habits and good morals. As Yard
Brakesman he was popular with all as
sociates. Especially will he be missed
In Ewell NJ. p. Church where he
rendered so much faithful service as
member of the choir He was mem
Der Of good standing of the Shields OF
Honor, Red Men aud Jr. o. U. A. Nj.
In this society be was useful and there
Is general regret that one so young
and full Of vigor of manhood should be
called from their midst Mr.. Ellegood
vas q son of Mr.. Joshua b. Ellegood,
q Glendale, a member Of the recent
constitutional Convention. About two
years ago, he married Miss Ella
wright, the third daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. p. Wright, of this town.
Inc two years of their married lie
were most happily spent together, the
oae ambition of Mr.. Ellegood being to
work himself mp in the railroad. In fac'
:. was his eagerness to be at his post o.
uuty that caused him to bring about
relapse from undue exposure. A be-
'eaSed widow survives him. Services
were held at Ewell NJ. p. Church thu
@''ernoon before large number O
.oarners after which his remains were
uttered at Glenwood Methodist Epis
e0pal Cemetery.

State Board of Legal Examiners Fin
ish Marking Papers.

Milwaukee, Dec. 24.-Twelve of the
thirty-One applicants at the bar exam
ination at the Hotel Pfister were sue
cessful That is about the usual per-
centage of successful applicants for
certificates. The highest marking was
secured by the single girl who took the
examination. Her knowledge of the
law impressed the examiners and they
spoke very highly of her. She is Miss
Elizabeth E. Holste of WATERFOWL, the
first woman to secure certificate in
three years. Among the other sue
cessful aspirants was Albert Wood Of
Woodlawn, Sank county, man past
middle age. 1t seldom happens that a
man of his years succeeds on his first
examination, but he had been justice
of the peace for years and had learned
the law in that way. 1t is said that
the majority of those who get certifi-
Gates fail on the first examination, but
succeed later. The others who passed
the examination were Theodore Bur
meister, Dudley B. Buell., Edmund B.

THIRTY MEN LOST IN MINE.

Brownsville, Pa, Dec. 24.-Thirty
men are entombed in the south Braz-

them is now alive, they having been
without food, air or water since 7:30
o'clock Saturday morning, when an
explosion Of fire gas, coming as they
were emerging from the bottom Of the
shaft into the mine, made the bowels of
the earth their prison.
The fire boss had reported gas but
informed the superintendent that it
was all right for the men to enter.
They were lowered into the mine in
the cage, describing the main shaft,
which is vertical From 40 to so men
had entered the mine and dispersed
through it when the gas was ignited
in some manner not yet discoverable.
There was a tremendous explosion
It's fore must have reached every man
in the mine The cage in the main
shaft, which was at the bottom, was
blown into splintters and the hosting

its success will depend very largely
upon the interest manifested by cram
berry growers. If they cooperate
cordially with the census office, the
Importance and extent of their industry
will be fully represented in the report
on agriculture, and its rank among the
special agricultural industries will re-
ceive suitable public recognition. Ii
they fail to do so, however, their in
dustry cannot but appear unfavorably:
as compared with those which are more
fully represented in the census sta
tistics.
The inquiries to be made will in
clude questions concerning the owner
ship of each plantation or bog, as it is
of course desirable TO show what pro-
portion of the total acreage is Guilt
vated by those who own the land, and
what proportion by tenants. An at
tempt will be made to segregate the
area in natural vines from that in
planted vines, and in inquiry concern
ing the number of vines planted dur
ing the last three years has been
framed in order to ascertain the num-
Der of young vines, and thus indicate
in some degree the probable future
progress of the industry. There will
also be two inquiries concerning the
quantity produced during 1899, so as to
show separately the production from
natural and from planted vines. The
net value of his cranberry crop of 1895
will be asked of each producer, and care
will be taken to exclude from this value
the cost OF packing and marketing. II
is desired also to ascertain the amount
paid for labor and for fertilizers dur
ing the crop year, and in accordance
with the desire of many Of those
engaged in the industry, estimates will
be requested of the extent of any re-
duction in the crop, below what may
be regarded as the normal production
which have occurred during 1899 on
account Of blight, early frosts or other
causes.
