You would scarcely expect a great cor
poration to be so particular about the
pennies. But watching the pennies
makes dividends possible Big concerns
pay high salaries to men who can save
more than their salaries by keeping an
eye on the little leaks. j. j. Hill knows

is dead from the effects of 3S-cal-
iber bullet fired into his head bv
his own hand, Thursday night,
whether with suicidal intent or by
accident being unknown.
The details of the affair, as
brought out at the inquest are as
follows:
The father, John Prentice Sr.
and his son have been living alone
in small three-room house near
the O. r. & n track west of town.
The living room occupies the mid
die portion of the house, with a bed
room at either end, and on the night
of the tragedy the father occupied
the room at one end of the house
and the son the other.
Both Prentices had been wrought
up to high nervous tension by the
belief that burglars were trying to
break in and rob them. At about
nine o'clock the elder Prentice, in
an attempt to frighten away the
supposed burglars, fired a number
of shots through the house, two of
them being through the door and
others through various parts of the
wall, the house being constructed of
an inner and outer sheeting of inch
lumber, upholstered. Prentice tes-
tilted that his son, whose hearing
was better than his own, had di-
rected him where to shoot, being
guided by noises outside. Part of
the shots were made with a 38-cali-
Der Colts revolver, the balance with
rife. That the belief that burg
lars were prowling around the house
was unfounded was proven by the
absence of tracks in the snow the
next morning.
After this early evening fusilade
both Prentices retired, but without
undressing, the fear of burglars be-
ing still present. At 1880 O'Clock
the younger Prentice entered his
fathers room, and asked for one of
the guns, as he wished to watch for
burglars. An hour later the father
heard a shot from the sons room,
and entering the room found the
son lying on the bed, fully dressed
but under the covers, shot III the
head with the revolver. The strick-
Ell father at once notified the nearest
neighbors, medical assistance was
summoned, but the bullet had done
It's deadly work, and its victim died
without having regained conscious
ness. The bullet entered his head
about an inch above the forehead,
ranging down and back toward the
base of the brain.
On the arrival of the coroner,
jury, composed of Messrs, w. H.
Kincaid, G.. P. Muir, A. L. Doty,
T. c. Smith, J. 7. Chiffon, and
Chas. Taylor was empanelled. AT
ter listening to the testimony, the
following verdict was rendered:
I'VE find that John Herbert
Prentice came to his death by his
own hand by shooting himself with
38-cal Colts revolver, held near
his forehead. Cause of tragedy I'M
known. And we do further exon
crate his father from any blame. "
If it is suicide, the motive is a
mystery. Neither the father nor
the boys friends can advance the
DRY that would bear out cause for
selt-destruction, although it is
known that at times he was OF a
rather melancholy disposition. 1t is
possible that the revolver was acct
dentally discharged by him in his
sleep. The skin and hair were con-

FUNERAL LARGE,
MANY TRIBUTES.

The late James o. Frazier, whose
death occurred Sunday night last, was
consigned to his last resting place in
Odd Fellows cemetery yesterday after
noon. The funeral was one of the
largest that has taken place in this
city for long time, among those at
tending being residents from every
part of the county as we'll as from
localities more remote.
The casket was literally covered
with flowers. James o. Frazier was
beloved of all men and on every side
one heard some tribute of praise. Some
dwelt upon his quiet unostentatious
life and his integrity of character,
while others recalled acts of genera
sity which demonstrated the purity
of his motive and assisted deserving
ones along the rugged pathway of life.
The services were conducted by
Rev. A. B. Herr of Pottsgrove A
quartette composed of Mrs. J. B.
Gearhart, Miss Weiss, and Messrs, J.
B. Mccoy and A. H. Grone rendered
very impressively two selections: =:
Rock of Ages" and Come Unto
Me-. The pail bearers were: George
". Peifer, Henry Divel, DR.. S. Y.
Thompson, William Kase West, Esq.
Boyd Gearhart and William Curry.
Among those from out of town who
attended the funeral were the follow
ing: William Olewine of Fayette
county; Miss Rachel Olewine of Read
ing Charles Reice of Bloomsbury P.
f. Brannen and wife, John Dennen
and Thomas Dennen and wife of Ex-

The Artesian Well.

The artesian we'll at Foust Bros.
brewery, Front street, has now attain
ed a depth of forty feet. Boring has
been in progress for week or more
but several difficulties have been en-
countered, which caused delay.
Nearly the entire distance bored has
been through quicksand. This as the
work advanced has necesSitated the
insertion of casing, which by breaking
and III other ways has led to a great
deal of trouble. Yesterday the work
was halted by the drill coming in con-
tact with a deposit of river stones.
The boring operation is the centre
of a good deal of interest among the
residents, nearly all of whom have
some theory to advance as to the
formation of the earth under that part
of the borough. Those who have
leisure may be seen daily i'll little
groups watching the we'll anxious to
see how far the operation of the drill
may prove their views correct.

Why Bass are Scarce.

The bass and salmon season has
opened very unfavorably. The recent
rains have caused the river to rise and
have made the water muddy, conditions
unfavorable for good fishing
Johnny Meyer of the St. Elmo hotel,
who joined a fishing party ON the West
Branch Monday, returned to Danville
the same day convinced that fishing
would not amount to much during the
present week.
1t seems likely that we will have to
look to the West Branch hereafter for
good bass and salmon fishing. An old
and experienced fisherman Tuesday
stated that it is impossible for fish to
thrive in the North Branch owing to
the presence of coal and culm brought
down from the mines. Coal and waste
matter are scattered all along the chan
mel, the deposits at some places yield
ing an output equal to small mine.
There can only be one result, he says:
the water must be polluted with sui
phur to such an extent as to render all
life next to impossible. 1t has been
observed that fish with each succeed
ing year have been becoming scarcer in
the North Branch and the cause is
not hard to discover.
