100000 FIRE AT LANCASTER
Two Big Tobacco Factories and Five
Dwellings Burned.

Lancaster, Pa, Jan. IL. - A fire
which was discovered in the tobacco
warehouse OF S. R. Moss & Company
caused a loss approXimating $1,000
900. A delay in turning n-the alarm
gave the fire a good start, and when
the firemen arrived il was beyond their
control. The structure was four-story
brick, with basement. and was well
filed with tobacco. The flames com.
municated to Moss cigar factory ad.
joining, five-story brick building
which was also destroyed, the north
and south walls of both structures
falling down. When the south wall of
the cigar factory collapsed the only
truck of the fire department was buried
in the debris and a number of the
iremen had narrow escapes from
death or injury. The loss on the ware
house is placed at 100000 and on the
cigar factory at 100000.
The warehouse of the American
Cigar company, to the north of the
Moss buildings, caught fire, but was
not greatly damaged 1t is feared, how.
ever, that the company's loss on the
contents will be very heavy from wa.
ter and smoke. To the east of the
cigar factory five dwellings were com.
pletely gutted. On the opposite side OF
the street are several large tobacco
warehouses and in their rear the i'm.
mense freight sheds of the Pennsyl.
vania Railroad company. The wind
swept the flames against these ware.
houses, and as the fire apparently was
beyond the control of the local fire
men appeals were made to Harrisburg
and Columbia for help, the request be
ing later countermanded.

COAL OPERATOR ROBBED OF $4,000
Thief Deceived Two Employees and
Left No Trace Behind.

Altoona, Pa, Jan. 12.-George Scott,
of Philadelphia, a we'll known coal op-
orator, was robbed of $4,000 at Por-
tage. Scott drove from Phillipsburg
to his Colonial mine, carrying the
money with him in buggy. When he
reached the mine he left the money
locked in a tool chest under care of
the mine engineer and fireman, and
went to the shaft to make an inspec-
ton. While he was gone man dressed
like a miner told the engineer and
fireman that Scott wanted them. They
went into the mine, found that Scott
did not want them, and hurried back
to the tool house, where they found
the box had been broken open and the
money stolen. No trace of the thief
can be found. It is supposed that the
highwayman, learning that Scott was
coming with the money, intended to
waylay him, but missed him and fol-
lowed him to the mine.

Important Decision Handed Down BY
Judge at Chambersburg, Pa.
Chambersburg. Pa, Jan. IA de-
cision in which every educational in
stitution, partly supported by charity,
is concerned was handed down by
Judge Endlich, of Reading, when he
decided that Mercersburg College
must pay county, borough and school
taxes. 1t was contended by the board
of regents that the corporation is an
institution of purely public charity and
a college founded, endowed and main
tanned by private charity and therefore
exempt. Judge Endlich recites that
the revenues derived from tuition, the
revenues from store maintained at
the college and the rental of college
ground brings it within the corpora
tions apenable to the tax law An ap-
peal will be taken.

HIS BODY FOUND IN RIVER
Mysterious Disappearance of PhiIadeI
phia Clubman Solved.

pnla Clubman solved.
Philadelphia, Jan. 14.-The body of
Francis X. De Lone, the young club
man of this city, whose riderless horse
was found in Fairmount Park on We'd
nesday, was recovered in the Schuyl-
kill river. The body was found near
a bridge which spans the river, and on
which the young clubman was last
seen riding his horse. 1t is believed
that his mount became unmanageable,
and that De Lone was thrown over the
guard rail into the water This theory
is held by the police and De Lone's
friends and relatives, and is borne out
by the statement of a man who says
he saw the young man trying to con-
troll his horse on the bridge a short
time before the animal was found wan
dering in the park. When the police
examined De Lone's body his jewelry
and money were found intact

WILL FOR s1,ooo,ooo A FORGERY
Court So Declares In Rejecting Schoo-
ley's Testament.

iey's Testament.
Scranton, Pa, Jan. 14.-George B..
Schooley's attempt to capture the
Crawford estate of over S1,00O,000 re-
ceived a hard setback. Judge Sando,
in the orphans court, handed down an
opinion in which he makes it clear
that he believes the will presented by
Schooley is a forgery
Schooley resides in Philadelphia and
was a cousin of the late James l..
Crawford, president of the Peoples
Coal company, of this city, who died
in Florida on January 10, 1905, leav-
ing an estate worth nearly $2,000,000.
Soon after his death Mrs. Crawford
had his will probated. 1t left practi-
cally all of the estate to her.
Sixteen months later Schooley pro-
duced a WILL which he alleged was
made at a later date than the one
probated by Mrs. Crawford This gave
Schooley the major portion of the
Crawford estate. Then he began his
fight to have this will recognized. He
is now upder indictment in this coun-
ty on charge of forging the sigma
ture of Mr.. Crawford to the will.
In the opinion Judge Sando declares
that the evidence furnished to prove
the will ungenuine is so overwhelming
that the court has no other course
than to refuse to consider the docu-
ment, although two witnesses have
sworn that they witnessed Crawford
sign the will in favor of Schooley. At
torney S. B. Price, counsel for Mr.
Schooley, says that an appeal to the
supreme court will be taken

]. V. Thompson is president, is now
first on the roll of honor among the
5757 national banks on America, with
a capital stock of 100000 and a sur

second on the roll last year, the first

New York, with a capital of 100000
and a surplus of $7,SO6,4SS, but the
latter bank has now transferred
enough of the surplus to make the
capital stock $3,0O0,00O, thus making
the surplus slightly greater than the
capital stock. This puts Uniontown in
undisputed lead in the state and ma
ton. The Uniontown bank has in
creased its surplus from $975,000 to
$1,100,000 since August, 1905.
