MRS. SUSAN B. HEWITT.

In last weeks issue was a brief
notice of the death of Mrs. Susan b.
Hewitt, a former resident of Blooms
burg. In the Ohio State Journal of
Columbus, Ohio, date of June Iath,
we find the following brief sketch of
the deceased. 1t says:
"After lingering illness of more
than years duration, Mrs Susanna
BradwelI Hewitt, mother of Rev. John
Hewitt, rector of St. Paul's church,
died Tuesday at the residence of her
son, in the eighty-second year of her
age.
Mrs. Hewitt was the youngest child
of Charles Reaves, ironmaster, Dorm
field, Derbyshlre, England, and Mary,
daughter of Sir Geoffry Wolstenholme,
Horsleygate, Derbyshlre, in direct
descent from Sir Walter Scott's Sir
Geohrey in "Peveril of the Peak.
Her father having died while she was
quite young, her education was direct
ed by her fathers nearest friend,
James Montgomery, journalist, re-
former and poet. In IS43 she was
married to Horatio Harrison Hewitt,
with whom, in rS47, she came to
America and settled near Asheviile,
N. c. Soon afterward Mr.. Hewitt
entered the ministry OF the Episcopal
church and served as rector of church
es at Charlotte, N. c.; Jacksonville,
Fla; Baltimore, Md; Boston, Mass,
and Sunbury, Pa, at which last named
place he died in 1882.
Mrs. Hewitt leaves three children,
Rev. John Hewitt, DIR. Charles Hewitt
of Kansas and Mrs. Frederick Spencer
loes-Broughton, besides grandchll-
dren and great grandchildren.
The interment will be made at Sum
bury, Pa, where the remains Of her
husband and a daughter lie buried.
Mrs. Hewitt's maternal uncle, Rev.
Hugh Wolstenholme, joined Hunt
and James Montgomery in the move
ment to secure representation in
parliament for the Lancashire district
in 1919, which resulted in what is
known in history as ''the Manchester
massacre" In consequence of that
massacre he came to this country the
same year, settled IN Raleigh, N. c.,
and there gave gratuitous instruction
in English, Latin and political econo-
my to the tailor's apprentice, Andrew
Johnson, afterward president of the
United States.
Young Johnson came to Mr.. VOL,
stenholme one day and told him he
wished to learn. Mr.. Wolstenholme
replied that if he would persuade his
sweetheart to teach him to read anc
write he would give him instruction
in various higher branches. The
young man and his sweetheart accepted
the offer, and Mrs. Hewitt's uncle
kept his promise.
In 1923 or 1924 Mr.. Wolstenholmt
became an adviser to Bishop Chase il
the founding OF Kenyon College, a
Gambler, and gave the Bishop letters
of introduction to friends in England
from whom he obtained some of the
money for the erection of the building
known as sold Kenyon"

Fatal Termination of a Fishing
Party at Berwick.
Boat Capsized and Occupants
Thrown into the River.

On Sunday morning the people of
Berwick and vicinity awoke to learn
that young man by the name Of
Joseph Kress had drowned in the
Berwick Falls at about twelve o'clock
on Saturday night. A party of four
consisting of Joseph Kress, Geo. Eddy,
Frank Fredericks and Paul Thiele, all
from Nescopeck had gone gigging on
the river above the bridge, and while
drifting down stream had become care
less not thinking of the danger await
ing them below.
The party it would seem had for
gotten about the swift current of the
falls and upon reaching that point in
the river the boat capsized throwing
its occupants into the water. Eddy
and Frederlcks managed to swim to
the shore, while Thiele hung to the
boat and was: rescued just above
Briarcreek by some men who were
camping along the river and heard
his cries for help.
Kress had on pair of felt boots
and heavy overcoat, making it i'm
possible for him to swim and his body
soon sank to the bottom. Kress was
formerly a resident of Hazleton, but
for about year has been employed
by James Serwell, proprietor of the
Williams Hotel at Nescopeck. The
drowned man leaves an aged
mother and two sisters. He was aged
30 years and leaves no family.
All day Sunday men were at work
with graphing hoops dragging the
river in hope of recovering the body
while large crowds of people thronged
the banks eagerly watching the search
ers in their futile attempts at recover
ing the dead man.
The body was recovered here
yesterday morning, about half-past
ten O'Clock, by Mortimer Butler
and Jacob Johnson. 1t was first
observed by some young men who
were standing on the river bridge.
They sent word to Mr.. Butler, who
was on his way home from his position
as operator at the Rupert Tower. He
secured boat at the Johnson house
and in company with that gentleman
rowed down the river, to recover the
body, which was floating face down.
ward and about in the middle of the
stream. 1t was taken ashore and
placed on the bank short distance
above the foot of Market Street.
Prompt action was necessary as the
body was considerably decomposed,
and undertaken G.. G. Baker was
hastily sent for. Coroner Sharpless
was communicated with. He directed
that the body be prepared for burial,
and that he would be over in the
afternoon.
Coroner Sharpless conducted an in
quest over the remains late yesterday
afternoon, which resulted in verdict
of accidental drowning.
No word was received as to what
disposition should DE made of the re-
mains and as no friends appeared to
claim them, they were, therefore,
consigned to a grave in Rosemont
Cemetery last evening.

PRODUCE MARKET
 IS FAIRLY ACTIVE
Eggs and Butter Plentiful But Prices Held Firm-ln Nor
 riS Avenue

The commission merchants of Birming- ham report a fairly active produce market this week, although there are no features of exciting interest.
 Fresh eggs are in abundant supply and the price will probably decline to 17c be- fore the last of the week. The cold storage commodity is a drug on the market and the supply far exceeds the demand.
 Butter is plentiful but sales are steady at quotations.
 Fresh southern cabbage is in quick de- mand and northern cabbage is also a good seller. The latter brought two cents a pound yesterday.
 Irish potatoes stiffening in price and sales were made yesterday at 75c per bushel. Sweet potatoes are holding their own at old quotations.
 Green vegetables from Florida-egg plants, string beans and other summer edibles-were in market and were easily sold. About the only out-of-season pro- duct missing was the blushing strawberry.
 There was a good deal of game on the market last week but the receipts were light yesterday.
 Owing to the warm weather rabbits were cheap One lot of rabbits sold for 7c a piece. The usual price is 12 to 1212c.

TEMPORARY HEADQUARTERS
CITY HALL.

The complaint was made to the chief of police, and service could not be had on the Mayor who was out of his office, but he will probably be arrested this morning and tried before Judge Feagin, of the Inferior Criminal Court, who can assess fine of from s1 to $100.
 The fact that the city is violating one of it's own ordinances makes the case of pe- culiar interest, and in the event that the Mayor is arrested and fined he will either have to pay up or act on the precedent es- tablished by Mayor Woodward of Atlanta, and remit his own fine.
 The ordinance was passed as a safeguard to life as the result of the agitation of the question about ewelve years ago, and has been strictly enforced since a number of arrests and convictions having been made under it's provisions.
 The sign in question, which is neatly painted, was placed few days ago at the instance of the Mayor to direct the public to the city offices, which are temporarily located on the ground floor of the Com- mercial Club building, pending the building of the new city hall.
