WILLIAM SILVERTHORN
LEAVES UACEREMONIOUSLY Y
Friends Wonder What Be
came of Him.
Leaving Only "a Note Stating He was
Going West. He Departed Some
Days Ago.

Local friends OF William Silver
thorn, formerly an employee of the
Susquehanna Silk Mills company on
Oak street, are quite disturbed over
his mysterious disappearance from
the city. His friends declare that he
left thecity very unceremoniously and
that no one here seems to know his
whereabouts.
over two weeks ago Silverthorn
stated to his friends that he expect
cd to leave for the West on an eX-
tended stay and that he might not
return. He later contradicted this
statement apparently and his friends
did not believe that he was about to
leave the city until one morning at
the boarding house at the silk mills
a note was found. stating that he
had gone for the West. He had left
during the early morning hours and
has not been seen or heard of since
that time. Some OF his friends say
that he is in Arizona, while others
delare that he is holding n position
in Elmira, New York. His many
friends here know nothing as to his
whereabouts, and his relatives have
not heard from him.
Silverthorn was very popular among
the employees at the SILK Mills and
his friends are exceedingly anxious
to learn If he has met with injury.
Comment on his sudden disappearance
has become general.

EVERY MAN IN
A GOOD HUMOR
Council Transacts Impor-
tant Business.
FRANCHISE IS EXTENDED
Alley Closing Comes UP
Again.
City Dads Decide To Issue Bonds
To Cover an Indebtedness Which
Cannot be Met When the Bonds Fall
Due.

All members Of the city council
were present at the regular meeting
last evening and considerable busi-
ness Of importance was hurried
through with. Everybody was feeling
good and business was intersperced
with an occasional good story and
other demonstrations of wit and
humor.
The initial matter 60 be consid-
cred was to accept a deed from James
G. Fairbanks for the old Fairbanks
stone quarry now used as city
dumping ground. Mr. Fairbanks no
tilted the city that he would deed the
property providing that within a
years time from that date the quar-
ry be filled and Ballentine avenue
extended from Farming street to
George street An ordinance was
presented last evening accepting the
deed and agreeing to the conditions.
Upon motion of DR.. Setter, council

half of the city. for Mr.. Fairbanks
generosity I'm extending so worthy
gift.
A resolution was passed. extend
ing the time Of the franchise of the

company TO September 1st. 1910
This is the second extention Of time
which council has granted this COM
pany. The other extension was pass
ed on August list last year. J.
Wilbur Jacoby was present and
spoke in behalf of the prospective
interurban line. He declared that the
road will be constructed sometime
but was careful not TO state any
definite date.
Mr.. Jacoby also referred to n mat
ter regarding the closing of an al
ley through the Reichley property
at the corner of State and Church
streets. He spoke i'm behalf of the
Elk's lodge and requested council
to notify the lodge in case that 1t
| decided to take any action i'm the
matter.
Perhaps one of the most impor-
| tant matters considered at this ses-
| sion was to pass bond to provide
for the issue of $500 in city bonds.
| The purpose of the bond issue is to
extend the time of payment Of GER
tain indebtedness which. from its
limit of taxation, the city is unable to
pay at maturity. The Indebtedness is
as follows:-Superior street sewer,
| $44.G5; Playground street ditch, 5000;

| street paving, $2,S75; North Main
| street paving, $272; Mary street sew
er, $40; sidewalks, SS,2S2.4S.
The bonds are to be issued in
amounts of $500 each with the eXcep-
ton of the first which shall be In
| the amount of $500. They will be

! September 1912; March and Septem-
ber 1913; March and September,
1914; March and September 1915;
March and September 1916.
DR.. j. G.. Setter spoke Of the
abominable condition of the vacant
lots in various parts of the iity. He
declared that i'm many places the
weeds have grown up over the side
walks and that in wet weather the
walks are almost impossible. He de-
clared that the matter should be re-

BIG SQUADDLE IS PROMISED
Other Important Things to
Consider.
School Boar = Attempt to Hold q
Meeting Monday Evening Proved a
Flash i'm the Pan--Win Try Again
for an Extra Meeting.

An effort to hold a meeting was
made by members of the board of
education Monday evening. but no
meeting was held. IT was discussed
at the last regular meeting of the
board whether the members should
hold social meeting last evening,
and as the matter died in discussion
there was some little misunderstand-
ing regarding the matter. There are
many imortant matters to come be-
fore the board and some of the mem
bers were very anxious to hold a
meeting.
Member M b. Dickerson and
some of the other members thought
meeting was to be held at the
High school building. President W.
B. Saulding said that no meeting was
scheduled and consequently no meet.
ing was held. Tonight the COM
mittee on janitors will meet in the
office of Clerk j. w. Jacoby and
It is expected that some of the other
members may be in attendance and
that much business will be given at
tention.
The long continued squabble over
the presence of ghost in the OIL
ney avenue school building some time
ago will be discussed. Janitor Fred
Fatzler was today notified to be in
attendance at the meeting and the
| ghost" will also be present to give
| his version of the unusual affair
| Fatzler contends that he never gave
| the man permission to enter his
| building and the man in turn con-
| tends that he was given that right.
| The ghost" was discovered by the
| janitor in his bgullding late one
| evening about three weeks ago and
| according to the statement of Fatzler
| there were probably others in the
room at the time. The matter will
be thoroughly gone over this even
| ing, II the members of the board
succeed in getting together.
A peculiar feature In the AFFAIR Is
| that a number of local persons, think
ing that Fatzler Will be dismissed
from the service for allowing person!
in a public building. of which he was
in charge, have placed their appli
cations in the hands of p. G. Wilson
superintendent of buildings ant
grounds. There are very many 10
cal persons who-want the job bu
members of the committee say tha
there Is no reason to believe tina
Fatzler will be dismissed, he havini
been a very faithful and diligen
employee of the board for some year
past.
The many sided affair is ATTRACTING
much attention and 1t is presumed
that the members of the Commute
before whom the matter VIII com
will hear a merry wrangle.

Another Capitol Disaster.

The first fatality which has occurred
since the building of the new state cap
itol began took place on Sunday after
noon when Daniel Logan, aged 80, an
expert stone setter from Chicago, met
death in a spectacular manner, when
he fell seventy feet from the west wing
of the new capitol building and was
buried beneath 800 tons of granite
which accompanied MIN in the fall. The
accident happened while the workmen
were trying to place four-ton block
of granite in the cornice. The cornice
rested on a series of large pillars and
projected several feet over them, the
binding blocks not yet having been set
in place. The weight of the four-ton
block on the outer edge of the cornice
is supposed to have caused the unstable
mass of stone to topple over. Logan
was on the outer edge Of the cornice
trying to swing the four-ton block of
granite into place. Frank Bliss, his
assistant, was helping him, but was
standing on the inner side of the cor
nice. When the cornice began to break
loose, Bliss sprang backward through
an open window of the gable and thus
saved himself. Logan was carried off
the cornice with the falling stone, and
fell head foremost to the ground seven
ty feet below. He lit on the Jagged
edge of the broken granite, fracturing
his skull. The granite being set was
yet to be sculptured or the loss would
have been greater. The 300 tons of
granite pitched forward, entirely clear
ing the pillars and caps which remain
uninjured. The financial loss to the
building contractor, the Woodbury.
Granite Co. of Hardwick, VT, will
probably exceed $4,000. Many of the
blocks of stone were broken by the fall
and will have to be replaced by new
ones from the quarry. All of the stone
is finished at the quarry, and simply
has to be set in place when it arrives
there.

GENERAL GREELY, himself an arctic
explorer of distinguish characte, frank
ly accords both DIR. Cook and Lieuten-
ant Peary the credit of reaching the
north pole, nor does he see in the state
ments of either any reason for casting
doubt on the achievements of the other.
In fact, he declares that Peary's proof
of his own progress toward the pole
forms strong conirmatory evidence of
what DR.. Cook claims in his own be-
half. Casper Whitney, famed as a
traveller, big game hunter, arctic adj
venturer and sporting writer, takes a
like view. General Greedy is excep-
tionally familiar with polar conditions,
the verities of travel over the polar
pack, the dietary necessities in the arc
tics, and with all other matters peculiar
to the region and to human existence
there, hence his support of DR.. Cook
must be accepted as carrying great
weight indeed.
