NEEDS A NEW CROWN.
Director of Public Works Tells
About EstiII Avenue.

THE surface of Estill avenue is
about worn out" said the director of
public works yesterday. THAT is the
reason that it does not show the same
state of repair that Dale avenue and
Waters road show. Before Estill av-
enue passed under the jurisdiction of
the city the county authorities put new
crowns on the other roads, but, antici-
pating the extension of the city's linn
it's, they did not improve Estill ave-
nue. in the same way. The city has
been making repairs during the last
few days, and Estill avenue is in fair
ly good condition. After time, it
will have to have a new crown. 1t
will then shed water.
1.-The gravel and shell pavements are
never in so good a condition in dry
weather as they 50 in wet weather"
said Director Gadsden. 1.-The pave
ments are pulverized by traffic in dry
weather, and the wind blows the dust
away. Many holes have shown in Es-
till avenue during this dry spell, but
there are several carloads of gravel
there now to be laid on the road"

Body Was Buried Immediate ly Alter His
Death Because Of the Dal ger OF Con-
taeion. News Received with Sadness.
Ralph Magargle, aged 9years,
9 month and 8 days. youngest son
of Mrs. Phoebe Magargle, of Sones-
town, died Wednesday of last week
at Chester, Pa, from smallpox, af-
ter an illness dating from June 2S.
Following is the account of his
death taken from the Chcs terTimes:
"Ralph Magarglc, the motorman
who was stricken with smallpox a
week ago last Sunday, died yester-
day afternoon at the home of John
Hamilton, thirteenth street and
Edgmont avenue.
From the first it was seen that the
unfortunate man had the dread NAL
adv i'm it's most virulent form, but
on Tuesday the disease seemed to be
affecting his heart and this organ be-
came so week from the inroads of
the malady that it was unable to
perform its proper functions and
death resulted.
Yesterday afternoon when it was
seen that Magargle could not recov-
er, his mother who resides up the
State, was telegraphed for, but the
young man died before her arrival.
She reached this city from Philadel-
phia shortly after II o'clock.
Deceased, who was about % years
of age, had worked for the Chester
Traction Company for some time and
by his manners had made many
friends among the other employees of
the road. He was on the Upland
run and was considered one of the
best motormen in the company's
employ
Upon receipt of the telegram
Mrs. Magargle and her son-in-law
c. A. Starr left on the 3 p. m. train
and arrived at Chester at ~ o clock
shortly after Ralph had been bur-
led. He died at three p. IN. and
was buried that night at | O'Clock.
His cousin, Harvey Houseknecht,
who had gone to Chester with him
two years ago, and who worked for
the same company, had made all
arrangements for the burial.
Previous to going to Chester two
years ago, Mr.. Magargle had charge
of his mothers hotel at Sonestown.
His acquaintances were many
throughout the county, all OF whom
he commanded the highest conf
dence and esteem. In his death an
exemplary young man has gone to
his reward and he leaves behind,
as solace to loving mother and
friends, the fragrant memory OF "A
life of kindly deeds and IL high
standard of manhood.
AS soon as possible under the
circumstances the body will be
exhumed and reburied by the side
of his sister and brothers in the
cemetery at Lairdsville, Pa.

Two Justices OF the Peace Do Police
Duty and Have Lively Encounter.

Laporte has two Justices of the
Peace who are not afraid to pre-
serve law and order, when consta-
bles and police are not available.
A Lycoming county farmer while
in town picnicing Wednesday, in
dulged too freely..in liquor and then
gave a street exhibition of how dis
gracefully he could abuse his wife.
His son who was also 'full' enough
to think that he could give his faith
er bodily chastising went to his
mothers rescue. Justice Keeler
feeling that the village should have
better order, went to the combat
tants and demanded peace, where
upon he received blow on the ear
cutting it quite badly and probably
would have been more seriously
injured had it not been for Justice
Buschausen appearing on the scene
to even odds by few well directed
blows. Our Peace officers soon
had them in custody and given a
hearing whereupon the violaters
were fined SO and cost and dis
charged with sound reprimand.
The Superior Court has overrul-
ed Judge Mitchell on a apoint of ma
ateriality in the case of Common
wealth VS.. John G. ScOuten, and
the case will have to be tried again.
1t will be remembered that Judge
Mitchell granted a new trial to the
defendant after he had been con
victed of criminal libel in trial
before Judge Metzger. 1t will
probably come up again at Septem.
Der sessions.
