OLD CHART
DISCOVERED

An old chart has been discovered
showing the location of graves in the
cemetery on Bloom street. which Just
at this time is proving very valuable.
The time stained old sheet was found
among the personal effects of the late
Lewis Hoffman, for many years sexton
of the church to which the cemetery
belonged.
In view of the probability that the
old burial ground will be condemned
there is more or less activity among
those who have relatives buried there,
seeking first to locate the nearly oblit-
Grated graves and then to arrange for
the removal of the remains, should the
cemetery be abandoned
The difficulty, however, has been to
locate many of the graves. This next
to impossible task has been rendered
somewhat easier by the old chart.
which is in the possession of Charles
V Amerman, Esq. Several citizens
who contemplate removing bodies
were out in the cemetery with the
chart yesterday and. although it is
deficient in some respects, the persons
were surprised to discover that in each
case in which they were interested the
chart proved valuable aid and that
through it graves were found whose
exact location before had always been
an enigma.

Goodrich Post Adopts Resolutions

Whereas. Gov. Edwin S. Stuart has
seen fit to veto the Cochran Soldiers
Service Pension Bill which was al
most unanimously passed by both
branches of the Pennsylvania legislat-
ure recently adjourned; and whereas
said bill in our opinion was just and
honorable and deserving one for the
reason that without any pauperizing
sections it recognized the honest OBJ
legation of the State of Pennsylvania
to her Civil War veterans
Therefore be it resolved by the mem
bers of Goodrich Post No. 22 of the
G. A. r. of Danville, Penna. assembl-
ed that we enphatically condemn the
executive veto of this bill, thus re-
putiating the State obligation to her
defenders of more than forty years ago
and that we only ask the State to hon
or just debt before appropriating
vastly increased sums for experiment
al charity work to be administered
and distributed by numerous high sal
aried philanthropists with organiza-
tion influence. Further be it
Resolved, That to Hon. A. K. Nc
Clure we PROFOUND the following
arithmetical problem to be solved by
the rule of proportion viz: comparing
the $40, 900 annual salary of clerk of
the Supreme Court of Penna. with the
$50. 90 in gold average annual salary of
a private soldier in the war for the
preservation of the Union; is the ad-
ditionial compensation provided by
the Cochran Service Pension Bill for
the benefit of the Survivors of Penn
sylvania's Civil War Veterans exces-
sive or not? Further
Resolved, That more substantial
appreciation of our services in lieu of
so much sympathetic appreciation will
be much more gratefully appreciated
by US.
