MAJOR GEARHARTS
CAUSTIC REPLY

The correspondence between Chief
Burgess J. W. Maloy of Lansford, and
Major G. p. G. arhart relative to the
charge of drunkenness on the part of
the guardsmen is becoming quite ac-
rimOnious.
The controversy dates from Friday
latter to Major 6aMFfatft, aMFfatft III MRhiGf "na
made the charge that the officer in
command of the troops at LanstOrd on
that day was drunk and that many Of
the soldiers were under the influence
of liquor.
In Major Gearhart's reply of August
29th he denounced the accusation As
absolutely false and declared that the
accuscrs of the soldiers and the Off
Ger were either woetully mistaken or
willfulIy lying He stated that he
had confidence in the sobriety and
cOol-headcdnesS of both officers and
men and informed the Burgess that all
that was desired of him was his CO
operation and his association, which
it would seem had thus far been only
passive or in contrary direction.
The Burgess was reminded that clos
er intimacy would convince him that
the charges against the guardsmen
were untrue.
To this letter Burgess Maloy replied
Oh the same day:
Sir Your letter dated August %
received in reply to my letter concern
ing the reported condition Of the man
in cha .ge of your troops last Friday
at Lansford. Your reply would indi-
cate that you We're suffering from
mental excitement when you dictated
it. Ignoring its tone, the undersigned
suggests that you investigate the
question at issue. Investigation is
what any wrongly accused officer
would demand. -
Major Gearhart promptly sent the
following reply
u. w. Maloy, Chief Burgess at
LansfOrd, Pa.
Sir:-I am inclined to think that
you are either lunatic or a worthy
representative of the lawless element
III your town, and l don't want to
have any further communication with
you on this subject. Respectfully, G.
=. Gearhart, Major
The enlisted men as a unit stand by
Major Gearhart, declaring that the
charges of drunkenness are wholly
false. The charge against Captain
Helm is especially unjust. AS he
alightcd from a trolley car Friday
morning the lacing in his logging be
came cntanglcd, and he fell headlong
TO the ground, badly injuring his arm.

AGAIN TAKING FOOD
ASTONISHMENT EXPRESSED AT
THE KINGS RAPID RE
COVERY.
Ate a Little Last Night and Was Al
lowed To Smoke a Cigsr-Opened
and Read kilograms and Answer
ed Some Himself-No More Bull
letins Until Today.

London, June 27.-Those around
King Edward continued to be aston
ished at his rapid recovery. The slight
ly annoying symptoms mentioned in
the bulletins issued at II O'Clock last
night. are quite inconsequential com
pared to the fact. which the Associat-
ed Press has learned. that his majesty
again took food last night and was af-
terward allowed TO smoke a cigar.
Queen Alexandra sat with her hus-
band all evening, and only left him af-
ter he had fallen into a peaceful sleep.
The mention by the kings doctors OF
the are with which foo is administer
ed to the royal patient and the return
of pain in the wound can safely be
taken as evidence of their Conscien-
tious intention to make public the
slightest adverse symptom. however
unimpOrtant.
The kings courage and good temper
are remarkable and he personally
wrote several kilograms and II or two
notes. AS evidence of the kings per
sistent refusal to efface himself from
his connection with state affairs and III
confederation of the statement that
the physicians are satisfied with heir
patients condition., the Associated
Press learns that besides personally
opening kilograms Wednesday, King
Edward then insisted upon a full in
spection of the honor list. There was
one appointment of much Importance
| which had not been definitely decided
at that time. The king approved this
nomination and gave the final order to
the department interested. thus saving
one of the recipients of honors from
severe disappointment
Last night King Edward was better
in every way than he vas Wednesday.
or yesterday. The return of pain in his
wound is not accompanied by any ap-
preciable increase in temperature. In
fact Kink Edwards doctors are inclin-
ed to regard the patients pain and his
appetite as healthy symptoms.although
with the reserve they have maintain
ed throughout they refrain from COM
menting thereon.

A VENERABLE PIONEER
HAS NOVEL IDEA.

George A. Crofutt. a Colorado pio-
neer, has invented a device for raising
water from a we'll by a screw operated
by electricity and will attempt to put
It in operation to redeem the arid
lands Of Colorado. say the Denver
News. His idea is to operate the screw
in an alright case and force the water
to the top of the well. A company
known as the Colorado Electric Irrigat.
ing company has been incorporated
with a capital of 500 900 to exploit the
invention. The promoters are w. H.
O'Brien, deputy county clerk: A. S.
Whitaker of the United States mint,
and others.
Mr.. Crofutt believes that all the arid
lands Of the west can be made to bios.
som as the rose il his invention is used.
He claims that water flows under the
ground everywhere and it is only a
question of getting it up to the top,
which can be done with one of his
screws.
