/ Munos- Rivera Ell informe del goberna-
dor es bien claro ycreo que no deia lugara
ninguna duda. Sc dice que los ingresos
han bajado y que por 10 tanto es precise
hacer economics y este no puede hacerse
sino de dos maneras: una, disminuyendo
servicioss y otra rebajando sueldos. La pri-
mera no es conveniente no puede discu-
tirse siquiera por que guitar servicios va

La segunda forma es mas justa la mas

muchos casos no estan en- modo alguno

para cubrir esos gastos son las contribu-

que la legislature debe hacer economics ea

Sc haya de fiiar esa proportion de reba-

ria un verdadero abuse la imposition de

GIRL ACCIDENTALLY
KILLS HERSELF

Great excitement was created in the
vicinity OF McEwersville Monday
morning when pretty sixteen.ye old
Mary Goss WAS found dead about 9
O'Clock at She home of Valentine
Truckeumiler short distance from
McEweusville. Theories Of murder and
suicide were rife until the coroner 9
jury after a session Of evidence tax ing
returned a verdict of accident.
FORMER RESIDENT
OF BELLEFONTE.
Mrs Goss and her daughter were
former residents of Beilefonte. \ bout
a year ago the mother was engaged by
Mr.. Truckeumiller to take charge of
his home as housekepeer and her
daughter came with her Since that
time both have made their homes
there. The girls life was apparently a
happy one. She arose at an early hour
this morning, as was her custom, and
busted herself about the various house
hold duties which fell to her lot.
Shortly before 9 o'clock she went up
stairs and few minutes later the
sound of revolver shot was heard.
Members OF the family who hasten
ed upstairs at the sound of the shot
were Mortified to see the girl lying
dead on the floor in the bedroom Of
Mr. Truckenmiller's son and with the
latter's revolver clutched i'll her hand.
She had evidently gone into the room,
which was unoccupied at the time,
and took the revolver from q stand on
which it was kept The bullet had
passed through her heart and death
was Instantaneous.

OF
GAS STOVE

An explosion that might have result
ed seriously occurred at the home of
Philip Benzbach at the corner Of Ferry
and Water streets Monday evening
The evening meal was in course OF
preparation aud the maid was in the
net Of lighting one of the burners
when there was an explosion that
shook the house. The stove was totally
wrecked and a number of dishes blown
to pieces. By good fortune the maid
was not hurt.
1t is thought that the gas had been
turned into the oven by she baby as
some time during the day and when
an attempt was made to light the out
side burner, the gas in the oven iguit-
ed with the above result.
