REAL DAUGHTER
OF REVOLUTION
HER MOTHER A GOOD sAMARl.
TAN TO PATRIOTS AT BATTLE
OF cHADD's FORD.
FATHER A SCOTCH SOLDIER WHO
JOINED THE REBEL
CAUSE.

Collingdale, Pa, March19.- Mrs.
Amy Congleton, bright and active at
SO years, the only living real daugn-
ter of the revolution in Delaware
county and one of the few remaining
children of revolutionary soldiers in
the United States mas been visiting
her son, Joseph l.. Congleton, IN TINS
place. She usually resides with an
other son, William S. Congleton.
Mrs. Congleton has remarkably
clear memory and talks in most in
teresting way of her father and of
the many incidents he told her of his
experiences as soldier under Wash
ington, Lafayette and other reyolu-
tionary generals. Her mother, who
was a Chester county girl, often told
her how she had administered to the
wounded patriots after the battle of
Chadds Ford. The condition of the
patriots was pitiable, according to
the eyewitness mother, and many OF
them died because of lack of atten-
ton after they had been captured by
the enemy
Her father was Colin Maclaclan, a
Scotchman, who came to America as
a British soldier to uphold his king
against the revolving colonies. The
blood of liberty descended from the
clans of Bruce and Wallace and of the
other highland chieftains ran through
his veins, however, and after he had
been left i'll by the British army at
Wilmington, he began to appreciate
the cause of the ragged patriots ana
as soon as he recovered his strength
he obtained flintlock musket and de-
serted to the American army, serving
with distinction through the seven
years struggle.
Although in nearly all the principal
engagements, he was never wounded,
and lived until many years afterward.
His daughter, Mrs. Amy Congleton,
was not born until 1920, forty-four
years after the revolutionary war hau
begun. Her recollection of her father
is vivid.
Mrs. Congleton was born in Ches-
ter county and has been member OF
the Methodist church since she was
ten years old. She is the mother or
seven children, all of whom are liv.
ing; nineteen grandchildren, fourteen
great-grandchildren and two great
great grandchildren

MADE FIRST PlANo-PLAYER.
Eoston Man Worked Out Invention in
A fremont Strict Carrot.

Eoston Man Worked Out Invention in
A fremont STREET Carrot.
Who invented the first piano player
In America, and thus gave rise to an
industry which yields employment to
vast army of workmen and is
source of joy to millions in all parts
OF, the world?
An elaborate investigation of con-
f1icting claims recently undertaken by
Charles T. Sisson, the musical instru-
ment expert, traces the origin of this
remarkable instrument to John
McTammany, Scotehman, who came
to this country early in life and away
back in the COS shouldered mus
ket in the war for the union, the Bos-
ton Herald says. On his return from
the front McTammany took lessons
in music, and while thus engaged
turned over in his mind the idea of
piano which could be played by means
of perforated roll. AS there was
then, in the year 1868, nothing of the
kind on the market, McTammany be-
gan experiments with the view of pro-
ducing such an instrument "a
After experiencing many of the ups
and downs incident to the life Of an
inventor, he landed in st. Louis with
piano which is substantially the in
side player of the present day, since
it had keyboard and used a narrow
perforated sheet ON winding and re-
winding rolls, with foot pedals and
wind motor.
The McTammany instrument was
not regarded with favor by either mu-
sicians or manufacturers. 1t was in
vain that the inventor emphasized the
value, novelty and disturbances Of
his machine. His enthusiasm only
stirred up incredulity and he got re-
Bluffs for his pains.
But he perseyered, and finally
landed in garnet on fremont street,
Boston, where, with couple of me-
chanics, he began the manufacture Of
the Tammany organet. When the
new instrument began to be a COM
mercial success, other manufacturers

DRAMATIC TURN TO
THE CUDAHY CASE

Chicago, ILL.,, March 19.-John P.
Cudahy, of Kansas City, who knitted
Jere F. Lillis, banker, is in Chicago,
visiting at the home Of Joy Morton.
With him is his brother, Joseph Cud-
ahy. Both are keeping in seclusion.
Every effort was made to keep their
visit secret.
John Moss, the missing chauffeur,
involved in the Cudahy case as the al
legged assistant of Cudahy on the even.
ing of the attack on Liilis, may not be
chauffeur at all, but a young sur
geon, playing the role of auto driver
in order that whatever attack with a
knife was made would be with skilled
hands. The surgeon-chauffeur is said
to have been paid a big fee by Cud-
ahy. That young surgeon was hired
months in advance of the deed is de-
clared to be the true and inside story
of the affair. He was attired as a
chauffeur and played his part as such,
it is said, that all who might see him
would be deceived into believing he
was what he purported to be. 1t is q
curious fact that he was full pano-
piled in chauffeur garb during the ar
fair.
Then, when the time for action ar
rived. according to the story told, he
was right on hand to lend his profess
sional aid and insure the success OF
some outlined scheme. It is said that
the wounds inflicted could not have
been made with rusty knife in the
hands of an amateur. .#3

Furthermore" said Mr.. Lorenz,
I'VE wish to put no hardship upon

Ballhorn, counsel for Mr.. Price, to his

I'VE resent the gratuitous filings or
the plaintiffs counsel" said Mr.. Ball
horn, "and we wish to announce that
we, too, are ready for trial now"
Judge Lawrence w. Halsey, before
whom the proceedings were being had,
peremptorily put an end to all further
discussion by granting the motion OF
the plaintiff to withdraw the appli-
cation for temporary alimony and suit
money and announcing that the d.
vorce must take the regular course.
Mr.. Price in his AFFIDAVIT denies that
his annual income is $4,000 and up
