c. 0. D. FRAUD PERFORATED

The Shamokin Herald tells of mean
swindler who is operating from that
place. A Shamokin man is acsused by
Philadelphians Of sending collect ex-
press packages to families where o fun
eral is in progress, thus in many cases
securing the amount Of the c. o, d. be-
cause Of the grief, sorrow and confusion
that always accompany such occasions.
The Philadelphia office of the express
company says that the operator Of
this scheme has worked it for sometime
and that in the last few days they have
sent over $40 to town. The family
who have brought this matter int,
the light is that Of j. G. Young, As
his body was being borne to the
waiting hearse at 25l South 81
street. Philadelphia, an expressman
drove up with parcel, on which he col
lected $3.50 and also charges OF 70 cents.
After the remains were inferred, the
package was opened and fountain pen,
worth about 20 cents was found within.
The family has made an energetic pro-
test against the alleged imposture, but
the express company says that this is
nothing new. Several weeks ago, lawyers
who were settling up estates said that
they found fountain pens were being de-
livered that were said to have been
ordered by the deceased before death,
and that out of respect for the memory
and the last wishes of the dead, the ar
ticles were being taken and paid for.

Passed Away Monday Morning
HERO OF A FAMOUS BRITISH
NAVAL DISASTER LIVES IN
REYNOLDSv|LLE
Fifty Three Years Ago Last Fri
day Since the Burning of the
Sarah Sands"

One Of the most dramatic events In
British naval and military annals was the
burning of the steamship Sarah Sands" in
1857 while on her way from England to
India loaded with British troops to sup
press the terrific Sepoy Mutiny of that
year. This event occurred just fifty-three
years ago last Friday, November llth.
1t will interest Reynoldsville people
to know that there resides in Reynoldsville
at the time one man who was member
of the regiment made famous by its
gallant behavior during the burning of the
ship, He is ID. d. Shannon, who resides
in East Reynoldsville, and is well known
in the community, Now, at the age Of "A
years, he retains all the vigor of his
younger days, when he served almost
eleven years in the service of Victoria,
then queen of Great Britain and Ireland
and Empress of India Nine of those
years were spent in the burning heat
of India, but the rigid discipline, the
physical training and a temperate life
brought him through with perfect health.
Mr.. Shannon was not only member
OF the right wing of the 54th Regiment,
on board, but in General Order No. 700,
issued by the commander-in-chief of the
British Army following the disaster,
Mr.. Shannon is named as one of score
of soldiers who notably distinguished
themselves by their heroic bravery
during the hours of greatest danger,
Mr.. Shannon also carries with him
to-day medal given him in recognition
of service during the Sepoy Mutiny.
On the anniversary of the dis
aster we had the privilege of looking over
a lengthy account of the burning of the
"Sarah Sands" in Mr., Shannon's
possession and from it CLEANED the
following:
The 54th Regiment was one of the
finest regiments in the British army at
that time, having just come home from
Gibraltar, where it had been stationed
waiting to go up to the Crimea in 1855.
When the Sarah Sands sailed from
Portsmouth it was deemed good
transport and ali went well until they
were in Lat. II degrees S. and Long.
SO degrees E., at which time it was dis
covered that smoke was issuing from
the hold of the vessel. Search was
made Intellectually, and soon the flames
had spread so far that complete destruct-
on of the ship and loss of the lives Of all
on board seemed imminent
1t was in this crisis that men were
shown in their true characters. In the
wild panic and indescribable terror which
ensued, it was the bravest hearted only
that had the courage and GOODNESS to
work lor the safety of the ship and forget
their personal danger. 1t stands to the
discredit Of Of the Colonel Of the regiment
that he lacked the true qualities of a
leader in the crisis, but fortunately for
the passengers, the ships captain was q
true hero and under his guidance the
ship was finally saved and brought TO
port on the island Of Mauretas.

At recent meeting Of the council OF
Reynoldsville borough, held In Attorney
G. w. Flynn's office, it was decided to
renew the contract with the Reynoldsville
Light and Power Company for street light
ing for three years. and an ordinance was
passed for that purpose. The new contract
calls for the same number of lights as at pres
ent, forty-fve, but provides for the gradual
elimination Of the arc lights and the sub
stitution therefor of the new Tungsten
light. Several of the latter have been IN
use on the street for several months and
the difference between them and the arc
light is hardly noticeable, while the cost Is
but one-half, for the present there will be
thirty arc lights and fifteen Tungsten
lights, the arc lights to have 450 watts and
cost $40 per annum, Che Tungsten lights to
have 100 watts and cost s32. 80 per annum.
Each year four arc lights will be replaced
with Tungsten lights until all are changed
The low cost of the Tungsten is made
possible by the fact that it requires little
attention after being put in place. and does
not require constant change of carbon, as
in the are light.
