was burned into ashes, while
Mr.. and Mrs. Ivey had gone over
to Mr.. Luke Ivey's, just a little
distance from their home. They
saw a smoke rising and dis
covered that their dwell
ing was on fire. Mr.. Ivey ran
back hurridly, bat was too late
to save any of his furniture
on account of the rising flames.
1t is said that the dwelling
caught on fire from the cook
stove. Anyway,the smoke, house,
which was near, caught fire
from the dwelling and burnt his
meat into ashes. If it had not
been for the crowd Of people that
gathered to help Mr.. Ivey in his
troubl his corn would have
burned, but by working hardthey
saved his crib of corn.
1t is said that Mr.. and Mrs.
Ivey are left with nothing save
what they had on and their corn.

ANOTHER BODY FOUND.
Remains Of Charles kreitzer Recovered al
Rupert.

Floating face upwards, the body
of man, was discovered by Evan
Ale, driver for Meyer Brothers, of
Bloomsbury, as he was driving
across the East Bloomsbury bridge
at about 3 O'Clock Friday after
noon. The CHASTITY object was
noticed close to the second pier. 1t
was recovered at Rupert, and from
the description it was thought to be
the remains of Charles Kreitzer, of
Selinsgrove, one of the victims of
the ill-fated Mifflinville bridge,
which collapsed on the afternoon
Of Tuesday, December 10th last,
carrying seven persons to their
deaths.
The driver when he discovered
the body drove rapidly to East
Bloomsbury and gave out the in
formation. However, there was
no boat available and word was
sent to Rupert. There the track
hands were informed, and Kersey
Bankes, with another employe,
rowed out, and found the body. 1t
was towed to the Rupert tower
awaiting the action of the coroner.
That evening the body was
identified as that of Charles Kreit-
ger by q brother of the latter, who
arrived from Georgetown on the
late train. The identification was
clearly established by watch chain
Oh the body presented to the bridge
victim by the brother and also by
the condition of the teeth.
This is the third body that has
been found since the accident oc-
Cured, the first being that of the
foreman, A. w. Fahs, of Selins-
grove, who was found on the wreck
age of the fallen traveller" under
the water, about two weeks after it
had collapsed. The body of Millard
Bowman, of Mifdinville. was dis
covered in the river at Steelton
about two weeks ago.
1t is thought after the high waters
subside the bodies of the other four
victims will also be found. They
are George B. Faux, of Mifflinville;
Adam Mussleinan, of Selinsgrove
Adam Tritt, of Beaver Valley, and
Irwin Updegraff, of Georgetown.

General Snyder, former Superin-
tendent of Public Buildings and
Grounds Shumaker, and contractor
J. H. Sanderson.
The maximum penalty on this
one case is two years imprisonment

however a number of other indict-
ments growing out of the same
transactions that will make the
total penalty run into many years
and many thousands of dollars. r.

through the work OF James Scarlet
Esq. of Danville, who was the

A SLICK SWINDLER.

Look out for clever swindler
who represents himself as special
agent for publishing concern and
the New York University associa-
ton. He visits all music teachers
and through them secures the
names of their pupils. He then
calls upon the latter and offers for
sale sixteen volumes of the COM
positions of the worlds famous
composers. He collects from S. to
IS to cover transportation charges
and is never heard of again. The
swindle has worked successfully in
several nearby towns. He is de-
scribed as being OF fair complexion,
"a years of age, FIVE feet nine inches
in height, weight about I46, dark
hair, brown eyes and neatly dress
ed.
The best rule to follow is not to
deal in any way with strangers of
whom you know nothing.

SCARLET WILL STAY.

The report that James Scarlet
may quit the capitol graft cases be-
cause of differences of opinion
among counsel for the prosecution,
is denied at Harrisburg. 1t is stat
ed that no differences have occurred,
and that there is no dissatisfaction
among the lawyers. Mr.. Scarlet
was in Washington on Monday in
consultation with Attorney Gener-
al Bonapart in the powder trust
cases and his absence from Harris
burg no doubt led to the rumor
that he had withdrawn.

BURIAL OF CROWN JEW ELS
Scottish Treasure Hidden Beneath
Pulpit Of Parish Church.

From the Westminster Gazette.
The curious story of the search among
tombstones for the stolen regalia re-
yeaied in the minutes Of evidence heard
by the viceregal commission on the loss
Of the Dublin Castle jewels recalls the
interesting fact that the Scottish crown
Jewels, which mysteriously disappeared
at the time Of the Cromwellian invasion
were buried for safety. They were To-
Gated in Dunottar Castle, which was be-
sieged by Cromwell. and on the eve Of
mander of the beleaguered force, man
aged to elude the besiegers and get the
Jewels out Of the castle.
They were buried beneath the pulpit
in the parish church. and the place where
they were hidden was never revealed till
the restoration. Ogilvie was rewarded
with a baronetcy, and Keith. who misled
the Cromweilians by stating that they
were In the possession Of the exiled
Charles II, was made an earl.
The mysterious disappearance of the
Dublin state jewels has had one curious
parallel Some years ago a casket con-
tanning jewels of the value of f13.OOO dis
appeared under circumstances of the
greatest mystery from the house Of the
Duchess of Leinster in Dominic street.
vestiRation no trace Of the thieves could
be discovered. although rumor suggested
that more than one person of rank could
throw light on the robbery.
The jewels were ultimately returned to
their noble owner. but to this day we be-
lieve the mystery of their disappearance
remains unsolved.

Plea for the Sparrow.

Joel Chandler Harris in Uncle Remus' Magazine
Ordinarily, the sparrow is not an in
sect eater, but 1t has a most hospitable
crop when 1t comes to the various pests
of the flowers. For that reason, among
others. the farmers rose garden suffers
small hurt from the various troubles that
for long years seemed to infect it. Now
adays. he pays no attention to the red
and green spiders and the little green lice
that are sure to make their appearance at
a critical period in the roses spring his
tory for he has come to know that the
sparrow will do his work FOR him more
efYectually than he could for himself.
The sparrow is prompter than the most
energetic bill collector. and he cleans the
bushes leaf by leaf and bud by bud with
the utmost patience and industry. And
so with the sweet peas. When their
small enemies appear-and they make
their appearance with the first buds-the
sparrow is waiting for them. and with a
cheerful industry worthy of emula ton
cleans the vines and tender flower shoots,
and puts them in order for those who
would otherwise have a great deal of
trouble with them, and all the nav he
asks for is to build his nest in the cutters,
or in the caves. or in the corners OF avn
ings over the windows. And II you don't
like the nests in the awnings, you have
only to lower and raise them up again
and before you can eat your dinner the
nests will be replaced more snuggly than
before. Such is the merit Of Industry
and genuine optimism.
