Pennsylvania railroad eighteen hour
flyer from New York to Chicago was
halted at Juniata bridge, a lonely spot
sixteen miles west OF Harrisburg, by

Ing at Duncannon. near here, walked
up to the locomotive and reported to
Engineer Harry Greenwood that two
men, heavily armed, had forced hin at
the point Of a revolver to carry heavy
rocks On the tracks for the purpose OF
wrecking the train. He gave a descrip-
ton of the men and said he watched his
chance and ran across the tracks and
tagged the train in time to prevent an
accident.
The members of the train crew in
vestigated but were unable to find any
rocks on the tracks and the boy was
taken to Duncannon, where he was ex-
amined by Captain c. c. Port, Of the
Pennsylvania railroad police. The boy
finally broke down and confessed that
he alone vas responsible for the stop

The Public Bath Improvement Assoc

MIR. McKiernan informed the associa-
ton that the nance committee II
the Common Council were to hold a spe-
cial meeting Thursday afternoon at z
O'Clock to devise ways of raising funds
for the proposed bath-house, and tina
the parade would be likely to embarrass

that time.
On receipt of the letter Philip Apter
was appointed a committee of one to
ind out il the plan outlined in Mr.. Nc
Kfernan's letter was to be followed out
and he received assurances that the
plan for a bath-house for the "Hilf'

sideration.

the district will be held at some later
date, probably on the date the appro-
priation for the bath-house Is made

AT THE SOLDIERS HOME.
James Hagerty and John Perrine
SuCcumb TO Illness.

Fol the second time within twenty
four hours death has visited the Sol

APPOINTS RECEIVER OF
HUMBOLDT COMPANY,
Elwood c. Harris Requested Per-
mission to Wind Up Business.

When yice-Chancellor Emery today
appointed Elwood c. Harris receiver
Of the defunct Humboldt Fire 1nsur-
ance Company of Newark an interest
ing story was told, one thai will recall
to min the workings and dissolution
of that company some years back.
The company was incorporated
March 10, 1870, as the Humboldt Fire
and Marine Insurance Company and
later changed its name,
Profits did not accrue fast enough
for those interested, however, and on
April 4, 1882, 1t was voted by the twen-
ty directors to dissolve. All debts
were discharged and dividends paid
from time to time, the last on July 2,
1858. Henry Cougar, the secretary of
the company, remained In charge of
affairs, which had not been settled, but
he died February 81, 1904, naming
Charles T. Glen as his administrator.
The latter died last year, and Cath
arine Frances Glen n Elwood c.
Harris were appointed substitute ad-
ministrators and executors.
Mr.. Harris Immediately delved into
matters, and to his surprise found that
a mortgage for SITS on property in
vanderpool street was still due the
company, and ION which Mr.. Cougar
had been crediting interest in a bank
account, which was also found to be
worth altogether $2,S43.1S. The last
check against the account was for the
1888 dividend.
Unable to obtain the money and dis
pose of 1t In n other manner, Mr..
Harris made application to be APP
pointed receiver, with authority to
wind up this and any other matters
that might be found.
An interesting fact in connection with
the story Is that of the. directors.
There are but two living-Dr. Isaac
w. Condict. who celebrated his 92d
birthday last week, and James H.
Lobur, about so years of age, who was
in court today. Both reside in Dover.
