Death of Mrs. Ellis Morgan.

Mary Esther Morgan, beloved wife of
Z. H. Morgan, expired at her late home
on Honeymoon and Front streets, from
consumption at $50 Tuesday night. The
deceased has been ailing for year back,
but it was not until two weeks ago that
she was compelled to take to her bed.
Mrs. Morgan was a woman, much low
ed by all who had the privilege of her
acquaintance. She was true christian
and was great worker in the church in
which she was affiliated. In her home
she was loving wife and an ideal moth
er, and the loss sustained by the family,
will be well nigh irreparable.
The deceased was SO years, 10 months
and days of age. The funeral will be
held from the family residence, on Fri
day afternoon at 2 O'Clock, the Rev. A.
b. Bowser officiating. Interment will be
made in the Odd Fellows cemetery. I'm
dertaker George w. Roat will have
charge of the funeral.
The deceased is survived by hus-
band, three sons, Frank, Lafayette and
Edwin c., and three daughters, Nina,
Gussie and Susan Ii.

RESIGNATION OF
RUSH YERRICK
He Resigns His Position After Nearly a
Half Century of Service.

After AZ years of continuous service,
Rush Yerrick, the boss roller in the l6-
inch mill at the Reading Iron works, has
rendered his resignation to take effect
on November 1st.
The Reading company are loath to
part with his services as he is regarded
as skilled workman in his line, and a
man to be depended on in the conscien-
tious performance of his duty.
Mr.. Yerrick left school at the age OF
16 to go in the mill, which was then un-
der the Allen management, and consist
ed only of what is known as the old
puddle mill and the large and small rail
mills. These departments are now the
2O-inch and the 16-inch mills. His first
employment consisted of dragging out"
in the puddle mill, filling the position of
catcher on the puddle rolls. From this
work he went to the puddle furnaces.
first as helper and after awhile taking
charge of furnace. His next position
was that of "rougher" on the large rail
rolls. The mill at this time was a large
factor in the manufacture of iron rails,
this city being known as one Of the
greatest iron centres in the country.
There were no railroads running into this
city at the time and the product was
shipped entirely by boat.
At this period the company received
an order from the Denver and Rio
Grande railway for 5000 tons of small
rails, and Mr.. Yerrick was placed in
charge of the 16-inch train as roller to
turn out the work. He was retained in
the small rail department and has serv-
ed there ever since. He has been the
boss roller for nearly % years, and when
the mill was in operation has lost but
little time except when i'll.
Mr.. Yerrick has been the victim of
several bad accidents the worst of which
was the boiler explosion of few years
ago.
The mill changed hands four times
during his service, going from the Allen
management into the hands OF Grove
Brothers Messrs. Waterman and Beav-
er then took hold, the firm changing its
name later on to the Montour Iron and
Steel Company. 1t was sold several
years ago to the Reading Iron COMPANY
who have since retained it.
The employees speak Of Mr.. Yerrick in
the highest terms and are sorry to see
him go, but like the company, they
think he has well earned the rest and
ease of a retired life. He retires in good
physi cal condition and is full of anec-
dote in regard to the history of the
plant.

Good Lecture Monday Evening.

The lecture given by Miss Stevenson,
Principal of the Ashville Industrial
School for Girls, at Ashville, n. g., in
the Sunday school room of the Mahon-
ing Presbyterian church Monday night,
was attended by big crowd there be-
ing nearly 200 people present.
Miss Stevenson was secured by the
Woman's Missionary Society of the
church to give lecture on the school
and the people of that section of North
Carolina who are known to the world as
the mountain white people. She ex-
planned in every detail the history of
this class of people in whose domain she
holds a position as chief instructor in
the Industrial school and alluded to
them as the Scotch-Irish class who had
taken up their abode between the Tenn
essee and North Carolina mountains.
Miss Stevenson illustrated a portion
of her lecture after she had finished
speaking by photographs of the interior
and exterior of the Ashville school and
the inmates and also of the country.

VIM, Black Weds Miss Breckbill.

A very quiet wedding took place last
evening at the parsonage OF Shiloh Re
formed church, Bloom street, when Miss
Anna S., daughter of ex-Sherif and Mrs.

held by her many friends. The groom is
the we'll known assistant agent at the
ID. l.. & w. station. He is member OF
the School Board and is one of the rising
young politicians of the Fourth Ward.
He is charter member of the Penn
Social club and is at present filling the
position of Secretary of the Moneta
club.

Vote for Huth for Congress.
Robbery in South Danville.

hOUUcIJ Ill COuLu DauVlll6.
The home of Wallace Hoover in South
Danville was entered by burglars Mon
day night. The thieves gained an en-
trance through the kitchen windows and
ransacked the entire house. Bureau
drawers and closets were opened and no
places neglected where valuables might
have been found. The full extent of the
loss cannot be ascertained as Mr.. and
Mrs. Hoover are on trip through the
West.
The house has been in charge Of Mrs.
Eliza Bird during the absence of the
family. So far as she knows the only
things missing are several sheets, a can
of lard some groceries and clothes bask-
ct. The silver ware has not been found
and it is thought that perhaps it was
put away along with other valuables
prior to the departure Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hoover.
A clothes basket is not an article
worth stealing but the general opinion
in South Danville seems to be that it
was well filled before the miscreants left
the premises
The noiseless and easy access to the
Hoover residence leads to the belief that
the burglars were very familiar with the
building and surroundings.

Former Pastor Occupied Pulpit,

Rev. j. w. Steinmetz, ID. d., Of Read
ing, occupied the pulpit of Shiloh Re-
formed church Sunday, preaching two
most earnest and practical sermons. He
was greeted by large congregations OF
his old parishioners and friends, who
not only greatly enjoyed the pleasure OF
again listening to him, but also to grasp
his hand. Or. Steinmetz was former
resident of this city, having served the
Reformed church as its pastor.
When he 6rst took charge of the con-
gregation, thirty eight years ago it was a
weak mission of the Reformed church,
without church edifice Within three
years after bis assuming the pastorate,
it had become self-supporting, and the
present church building was finished, al
though it has since been remodeled.
After successful pastorate of four.
teen years he removed to Reading,
where he has since resided.

WASHINGTON Hose Horse,

Friday afternoon an exhibition was
given by the members of Washington
Hose company of the running qualities
of their new horse. The affair occurred
on Market street, between Mill and Pine
streets and was witnessed by good
sized crowd of citizens.
The horse is yet green as to the duties
involved upon him in the fire depart
ment but he responded to the words of
the driver in a manner that demonstrate
ed his good qualities as fire horse, and
one that would soon learn the tricks of
the business. His running, when it is
taken into consideration that he was
pulling brand new hose wagon loaded
down with fire boys, was unusually good
and although unsteady and inclined to
swerve while in motion, the animal with
a little practice should round into form.
The introduction of this valuable ad-
dition to our department is certainly an
innovation and the members of the
Washington Hose company ought to
feel proud of their outfit.
With good care and little persever-
ance the Washington horse will at
tain those qualities that make the horses
of the city departments not only pet
of the department but a valuable ac-
QUESTION to the city.

tins of peculiar accident yesterday

pieces. One of the pieces struck Mayan,
fracturing the left arm and severely
bruising him about the body. The
smaller piece struck pair of tongs in
the hands of Williams throwing them

FIRST SESSION
OF NIGHT SCHOOL
Attracts a Big Crowd Seating Capacity
Inadequate for the Attendance.

The first session of the night school
Monday night created much interest and
long before the hour set for the opening
of the Third ward school, crowd of
boys and girls congrepated about the
front door waiting eagerly to gain ad-
mittance into the building At 7:30 the
doors were thrown open and there was
a rush made for the room and Principal
Ream had great difficulty in keeping
order 1t was not long before every seat
in the room was filled and thirteen pup
lis were compelled to remain standing.
1t was expected that fully 80 pupils
would take advantage of the evening
session but the Board of Education did
not figure on the big rush that attended
last evening. Seventy-two seats had
been placed in the room and they were
soon filled. After quiet was restored

schools running from the third grade to
the high school. Children also came
there utterly unprepared to attend the
session.
1t is said that the big attendance at
the session Monday nigat was due to the
fact that the holding of the night school
was an innovation and that as soon as
the novelty wears off and those in at
tendance become aware that they will
have to apply themselves to their stud
les, the attendance may not be so large.
Nothing was done in the way of teach
ing and the entire evening was devoted
to grading.
