AGNES Il. GARGER
LAID TO REST

Agnes H. Garger, who lost her life
Thursday morning by falling out of
an automobile, was consigned to the
grave in Odd Fellows cemetery at 3
O'Clock Friday afternoon. Although
none of her relatives were present and
mono knew of her death yet she was
very nicely buried and the services
both at Doster's S undertaking establish
ment and at the cemetery were attend
ed by large number of people includ-
ing the members of the Eclipse earn
ival company.
The unfortunate girl was laid to
rest in beautiful silver plush .casket
with silver trimmings, the lid bear.
ing large plate with the inscription,
SAT Rest" She was buried with the
simple Episcopal ceremony, in addi-
tion to which quartette sang selec-
tion. There was also beautiful floral
offering as tribute from the company
to which she belonged.
No information has as yet been re-
ceived from any of the sources ad-
dressed relating to Miss Garger's fami-
ly, and as time wears on it begins to
seem doubtful whether any of her rel
atives will ever be located. While the
last sad rites were being performed
over the dead girl Friday the
thoughts of all instinctively reverted
to the mother of the dead girl in far
off Buda Pesth-at that very moment
no doubt, parentlike, thinking of her
absent daughter, little dreaming that
her life had gone out ard that alone
among strangers she was being con-
signed to the grave.
Among the personal effects of the
deceased was found document show
ing that "Agnes Garger was born in
Buda Pesth, February 3, 1884. This.
along with the fact that she was a
member of the Episcopal church. is all
that has been learned concerning the
dead girl since Thursday
Manager Yost has not abandoned
hope of hearing from New York in
relation to the dead girl. w hen Miss
Garger left New York for Mahanoy
City, some four weeks ago, she was
without funds to pay her hotel bill
and she was obliged to leave her trunk
as security. What ever the intrinsic
value of the contents of the trunk may
have been to the girl. what was con.
tanned therein was very precious and
she worried much over the safety OF
the trunk. To relieve her anxiety, a
few days before her death, Manager
Yost advanced her sufficient money tc
pay the hotel keeper. Miss Garger sent
the money to woman in New York
who, obedient to instructions, paid the
bill and placed the trunk in storage
The first mail that reached Danvill,
after the girls death brought lettel
with the storage receipt for the trunk
Along this olew Justice of the Peace
} Uglesby is at present working. AT tht
request of the show people he address
ed tho chief-of- police of New Yorl
supplying him with data aud request
ing him with such authority as h,
possessed to open the trunk and Sc,
whether the address of any of Mis-
Garger's relatives can be found
Whether the chief.of, police of tn,
metropolis will see his way clear t.
comply, or whether the storage com
pany will yield up the trunk unde,
the circumstances, is quite uncertain
at this time. 1t is the last hope. Unless
the desired information comes from
that source it is hardly probable tina
her mother or any of the other rela
tives of the unfortunate girl will re
ceive information of her death or il
the future cease to look upon her a.
living.
