Relatives in this town have re-
ceived ascopy of the State Repub
lican, published at Lansing, Mich,
igan, giving an account of the
death of Arlington Buckley, son Of
L. 3. Buckley, formerly of this
place. The young man was mem.
Der of camping party on an island
in Pine Lake, near Lansing, and
was in bathing on the afternoon OF
July 26, when he was seized with
an attack of the heart and sank
from sight. The following is from
the paper mentioned
Arlington Buckley, soneof Mr.. and Mrs. L. E.
Buckley, OF Lansing. died of heart failure while
in bathing at Pine Lake yesterday afternoon
about 6 O'Clock. AT first it was thought he had
drowned, but in the the opinion of several physi-
clans who examined him and ascertained the
circumstances attending his death, they were
firm in their belief that the young man was dead
before he sank to the bottom of the lake. The
young man, who was about twenty years of age,
was spending the day at the lake, having gone
there the day previous to Din house party on
Hickory island, made up of twenty younger
members of st. PauPs church. Among the
party were Monroe and Miss Florence Buckley,
twin brother and sister of the deceased.
Six members Of the party had donned their
bathing suits. procured boat and anchored 1t
short distance off the island, where the water
was about seven feet deep. All six left the boat.
but young Buckley who was a poor swimmer
clung to it. He was seen to struggle a moment
and then tip the boat over onto himself. He
sank and did not rise again. Assistance was
summoned. but the body had been under the
water nearly ten minutes before il was finally got
to shore. Every known means were employed to
resuscitate the young man but life was extinct.
He had been troubled with heart disease for some
time, and had been bathing several times that
day prior to his death.
The young man was member of the choir OF
st. Paul's church, and had many friends in
Lansing, where he and his brother Monroe had
gained reputation as singers. Arlington had
been employed in the offices OF the Lansing Gas
& Fuel Co. for the past two years. He was
twenty years of age and came with his parents
from Chicago to Lansing about six years ago.
Besides his father mother and twin brother, he
leaves another brother, Bartren, and sister, Miss
Florence.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge
Controversy.

Assistant Secretary of War has
forwarded a letter to Murray Van
diver, President of the Perryville
and Havre de Grace Grace Bridge
Company, relative to the responsi
bility for the removal of the bridge
should it prove financial failure
and be abandoned by the new COM
pany. The letter says in part:
SIN approving the plans for the
new bridge built by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company the ex-
press condition was imposed by
the Department that the draw
piers of the old bridge shall be
wholly removed to a depth of 18
feet below mean low water and
that all other portions of the
structure shall be removed down to
the bottom of the river, all this
work to be done within one year
from the completion of the new
bridge. By the laws of the State
of Maryland the duty of removing
the bridge is imposed on the Rail
road company but they also relieve
that company of this obligation in
the event that the project of con-
verting the structure into a high
way bridge and disposing of it to
the Bridge Company is consum.
mated. 1t is probable that ap.
proval of the plans as now regulated
would also nnllify the condition
imposed by the Department with
respect to the removal of the
bridge.
"In view of the foregoing, and of
the fact that the work of recon.
structing the old bridge is to be
executed by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, the Department
is of the opinion that the applica-
tion for the approval of the plans
in question should come from said
company"
