His Wife Left Too.

Edward Cue, who lives near the sugar
factory, has been working in Ontario
for few months. He returned Satur-
day and found a boarder named Roxey
had been given the place at the table
next to his wife. He objected and the
wife insisted and the boarder was order
ed out. The wife and her brother de-
cided that if the boarder had to leave
they would go too and all three left for
Saginaw on the evening train. Cue
called on Chief Welte to assist MIN in
putting the boarder and the brother out
of the house, and hopes for the re-
turn of his wife soon.

reorganization last year, when he moved
up to the place of vice president, an
elevation that would indicate Charley
had prospered in the world.
He has been a member of the last
two houses and has been renominated
for another term. In the last house he
was chairman of the ways and means
committee and acquired the title of
Watch Dog of the Treasury" which
title he really deserves as did not many
another man who has worn it,
His committee cut down the taxes
asked for from $40, 600, 600 to 81, 900, 900
for the two years. Ward was the
author of a bill amending the insanity
law relative to fixing the rate on which
the state is now estimated to be saving
$4,000 per year. Altogether Charley"
was a pretty capable member of the
legislature and no doubt will be an i'm
portant member of the next house
whether he gets to be speaker.

until the fellow came here and arrested
him, finding he had been using the
name Vira instead of Daher.

HISTORIC DWELLING BURNED.
Bloomsbury Manse, HaVre de Grace
Destroyed BY Fire.

The historic old brick mansion
on the Bloomsbury farm, Havre de
Grace, owned by A. Wilson Lewis,
of Philadelphia, was destroyed by
fire early Sunday morning.
The mansion was damaged in the
War of 1912, when Havre de Grace
was bombarded by the British fleet
under Admiral Cockburn. The
mansion was only spared after Mrs.
Goldsborough had begged the
British Admiral to let the place
remain standing. Havre de Grace,
nearby, was burned by the maraud-
ers. Mrs. Rodgers, wife of Com
modore Rodgers; Mrs. Pinkney,
grandmother of Senator William
Pinkney Whyte, and Mrs. Colds
borough had taken refuge in the
mansion, then occupied by Mark
Pringle, who had erected it some
years before the war. William
Pinkney helped put out the fire
started by the marines before Mrs.
Goldsborough returned with the
Admiraf's order to let the house
remain.
The property passed into the
possession Of the Lewis family more
than half a century ago, when it
was already more than so years old.
The building of the new Penn
sylvania bridge over the Susque-
hanna spoiled the property, the
right of way secured by the rail
road approaching within 400 feet
of the mansion and making a deep
cut through the heart of the estate.
The original cost of the manse
was $22 700, and the estimated loss
resulting from the fire Sunday is
$15, 200, with insurance amounting
to $4,000. The interior of the
building was handsomely finished
in mahogany and birds eye maple.
Sparks from a passing locomo-
tive are believed to have caused
the fire, as the blaze started in the
roof, and efforts to extinguish it
were unavailing.

Stricken With Death As Home
Burns.

The dwelling of Daniel Burns,
near Liberty Square, Drumore
township, Pa, was destroyed by
fire early Monday morning. The
family had risen and were busy
with the mornings duties when the
fire was discovered in one of the
upper rooms and spread so rapidly
that only "a few of the household
effects on the lower floor were saved.
A sad feature of the burning of
the home was the death of Mr..
Burns, his lifeless body being found
between the house and barn during
the fire. The deceased was u
years of age and his death was due
to heart failure, superinduced by
excitement and exertion. Three
daughters and son survive.

To Haul With Traction Engine.

The Sparvetta Mining Company,
which as announced in our issue of
last week has purchased the Sims
property, south of Sylmar, for the
purpose of putting in railroad
siding, has decided to dispose of
its stable of mules, embracing 20
head, used in hauling to and from
the mill and railroad, having pur.
chased a traction engine and two
ten. ton capacity cars, which will be
used for this purpose in future.
Contractor E. Ward Brown began
on Monday the work of piking the
mile of roadway between the mines
and the proposed siding, and will
push the work to as early com
pletion as possible. This will in.
sure a good roadway the year
through and enable the transport
ing of heavy loads back and forth
on the broad tired cars, without
the wearing of deep ruts and the
rendering of the road almost i'm
passable certain months in the
year, as has been the case hereto
fore with the heavy mule teams.
A large warehouse will be erect
ed by the company at the railroad
siding for storage purposes and
to facilitate handling and shipping
the product of mine and mill.
With the completion of the i'm
provements under way the Spar
vetta Co. will be enabled to over
come one of the most serious draw
backs with which it has had to
contend since the opening of the
mine, the hauling of the spar to
the railroad having proved heavy
expense and task which will in
future be greatly lightened.

Sudden Death.

Ernest Poist, son of G. w. Poist,
residing near Woodlawn, died sud-
denly Sunday night while calling
upon a daughter of VIM. Lynch,
near Theodore. The young man
had left the house about ten o'clock
to look after his team, the horse
having gotten loose and started
down the lane. Within a few min
utes he returned to the house and
asked for a drink of water, stating
he felt very sick. He expired in a
very short time from violent
hemorrhage. He had been in
precarious health for some time and
it is supposed he overexerted him
self by running down the lane to
head off his horse, as the animal
was found headed toward the house
and hastily tied to the fence with
the lines. The spread was on the
ground alongside the buggy and
there was evidence that young
Poist had been seized with a hem
orrhage there. When he returned
to the house he was too much ex-
hausted to give any explanation.
He was 81 years of age and his fun
eral was held on Wednesday, with
interment at West Nottingham
cemetery.
