NIT it's report, having performed its
duty under the order Of the court as
expeditiousIy as possible.
1--WE have examined the Jail and

tion Of the river bridge and recommend
an examination OF the bolts of the

him from the porch. Mr. Sweitzer re-
ported the matter to the State depart
ment of health, at whose request he
made another attempt to plaoard the
house taking 3 witness with him. On
the second visit he was likewise in
terfered with by Mr.. DeGraen and
was unable to place the placard on the
house. although the witness said he
explained the law to DeGreen and as
sured him that he would get into trou-
BILE for his refusal.
Edward S. Gearhart, attorney for
the defendant, at whose advice De-
Green had pleaded technically guilty,
addressed the court, urging extenuat-
ing circumstances and asking that
clemency be exercised.

dent Of Kingston, died at the latter
place about % clock Tuesday after
noon. The deceased had been very low
for several days as the result OF a
stroke Of apoplexy and death was by
no means unexpected
Elliott K. Morgan was a man whose
career has few parallels. Rare, in
deed, are the lives that are crowded
with such earnest endeavor, unremit-
ting hard work, fidelity to purpose,

application and integrity attain
higher pinnacle in the estimation of
others, or make more rapid advance
ment in business. In early life the

young man when h. accepted a posi-
tion as private SECRETARY under the late
Daniel Edwards.
While acting IN this capacity he was
transferred 70 Kingston. which was
the scene of his labors until his death.
From private secretary ne as promot.
ed to the position Of secretary OF the
Kingston Coal company. In this posi-
tion his sphere was greatly enlarged.
His remarkable capacity for hard work
and his grasp on the business in all its
relations made him IAN indispensable
factor.
Some ten years ago he sustained a
stroke OF apoplexy, which incapacitat-
ed him for hard work. Although he
retired in sense, yet he still main
tanned confidential relations with the
Kingston Coal COMPANY, which until
the last continued 80 avail itself of his
knowledge and experience along GER.
tain lines.
On May 2Sth the deceased sustained
a second stroke. which rendered him
practically helpless. On last Wednes
day he sustained third stroke, his
condition following the attack being
suchIas to preclude all hope of recov.
cry.

four years. He is survived by his
widow, one son, Charles Grier Morgan,

teIs, Lulu MRS. Ralph Hsrtman) Of

.CONSTABLES MUST
BE ON THE ALERT

The June term of court opened
Monday at 10 a. IN. with his Honor,
Judge Evans, and Associates Blee and
Welliver on the bench.
Charles Hollabaugh. constable of
Derry township, reported road in
Sidler's hollow as too narrow. Bruce
Pioch, constable of Cooper township,
reported that the trolley company has
raised the track at several points,
thereby making the crossings incon-
venient. The court oriered the two
above reports placed in the hands OF
the district attorney, who will take
the proper action in the premises. In
above connection Judge Evans advert
ed to the law, which requires the sup
ervisors to go over the roads once
each month during she summer, pick
ing the stones from the roadway. Then
calling the constabes before the stand
Judge Evans proceeded to examine
each individually to determine wheth-
er or not there were any violations
OF the liquor law in his district. Each
man was Obliged to report, first, how
many licensed houses there are in his
district-whether he had visited each
place at least once during the month
and whether or not there was any
persons of known Incorporate habits.
None of the coustables had observed
any violations.
Addressing the four constables Of
Danville Judge Evans notified them
that during the tremens convention
this week he expected them to be on
the alert to report all violations of the
liquor law. The hotels, he warned
them, must be closed at y o'clock the
same as at any other time. 1t is a mis-
taken idea. he said. that there must
be all sorts OF excuses in town dur
ing a firemen's convention. Drunk.
enness must not be tolerated in Dan.
vile this week more than any other
time. It Is just as much of violation
OF the liquor law, he said, to sell
liquor to a man when drunk on an oc.
casion like this as it is TO sell liquor
TO a man of known intemperate habits
at any other time.
CHARLES MURRAY FOREMAN.
Charles Murray was appointed fore
man of the grand jury. Twenty four
men answered to the roll call, which
Judge Evans remarked is unusual,
there generally being one or more ab-
sentees. Twenty three men is the nun =
ber usually used on grand jury and
the court explained that any one who
wished to retire would be excused
Oddly enough the grand jurors all
wanted TO serve, which the court also
regarded as an anomalous condition
Nothing, therefore, remained but to
permit the twenty.four men to so on
duty, although the court remarked
that this might lead to complications
should the grand jurors become equal
ly divided on any question.
Noah Stump was appointed tipstaff
to wait upon the grand.jury.
