MAY BE ANOTHER BRIDGE VIC.
TIM.

What it is thought will prove to
be the body of one of the three
Mifflinville bridge victims. yet un-
recovered. was found Friday near
the mouth of the Susquehanua in
Maryland.
Word of the finding Of the body
was received at Mifflinville Satur-
day by representatives of the York
Bridge company and an investigas
ton to determine whether it is the
body of one of the victims was at
once started.
Of the seven men who lost their
lives in the fall of the span there
are three bodies that have not yet
been definitely recovered, although
it is thought by many that the body
of the unknown man buried at
Harrisburg some time ago was real
ly that of Updegraff. This would
leave the bodies of Adam Mussel-
man, OF McKee's Half Falls, and
of Jared Fox of near Mifflinville,
yet uncovered.
The description of the body was
very meagre and about the only
known facts are that the man was
tall and had false teeth. 1t is
thought by many that the body
will prove to be that of Musselman.

1T WON'T WORK.

A recent letter in a Philadelphia
Republican paper, dated Blooms
burg, makes desperate effort tc
stir up strife among the Democrats
of this county, and incidentally to
elect Republican Congressman in
this district, next fall, to take the
place of the very capable and splen-
didly efficient Representative in
Congress, Hon. John G. McHenry.
The authorship of the letter is as
sumed by staff correspondent of
the paper in question, and the ig-
norance of local political conditions
revealed, gives color to the idea
that it was ''put together" by a
frank outsider But there is an
undercurrent of malice running
through it which indicates that it
was concocted III this neighborhood i,
wherever it was written. In other
words the Republican paper, con =
cerned essentially in the election of
Republican Congressman in the in
terest of tariff spoliation, has found
aiders and abetters> here, pretend
ing to be Democrats, willing to dis
rupt the party in order to prevent
the reelection of Mr.. McHenry.
We are not under commission to
defend Congressman McHenry from
obviously anonymous attacks, for
we assume that the person whose
name is attached to the communi-
cation had very little to do with the
writing of the communication. In
this community John G. McHenry
needs no defense against such
charges as are made directly or in
ferentially, in the letter. His So
cial, business and political record is
a substantial refutatlon of every as
persion as we'll as an ample reply
to every charge of treachery con-
tanned in the letter. Everybody in
Columbia county knows Mr.. Nc
Henry and respects him for his in
tegrity. In business as in politics
his life has been an open book and
his honor has never been assailed.
A Democrat on principle his activi-
ties for the party have always been
opeu and manly. Broad-minded
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1908-04-09

and generous-hearted, he is tolerant
toward those who entertain oppo-
site views but never has and never
will conceal his own convictions. \
The complete answer to the ab-
surd letter in question, however,
lies in the fact that John G. Nc
Henry never participates in prima-
ry politics. In the present local
campaign he has not, directly or
indirectly, promoted the interest of
any candidate for any Office or
worked against any candidate. He
has felt that it was his duty to his
party to allow each candidate to
present his own case without inter-
ference from him and accept the re-
suit of the primaries as the judg-
ment of the wisdom of his party
associates. He was unanimously
nominated two years ago and is
without opposition for the nomina-
tion this year. The Office came to
him without solicitation in the be-
ginning and he will sacrifice neither
honor nor principle to retain it.
This much may be said without
consulting him. This much is due
to him without solicitation from
him.

Men May Sue for Relief Money

Much talk is going on between
the recently suspended railroad
men in Sunbury relative to the
money they paid into the relief
fund, many being of the opinion
that they should in some way be
reimbursed, not a few of them 60
ing as far as consulting an attorney
to see if there is no legal redress.
Some of them are agitating a move
ment for all to combine and jointly
fight the case out in court. The
same question is being discussed at
Altoona, as the following special
dispatch from that city will show:
Many of the 2, t4o employees of the
Pennsylvania railroad who were
suspended yesterday are threaten
ing to bring suit against the COM
pany to recover the money they
paid into the voluntary relief fund.
Most of them had been paying
$3.50 month for protection
against accident and sickness, and
according to the rules, if they are
not re-employed within nine months
they are no longer employees. If
they are over thirty-fve years they
cannot enter employ again, and
necessarily lose the money they
had in the relief. Thousands of
dollars will be involved in the pro-
secutions, if they are started.
