INQUEST HELD
At HOSPITAL

Justice of the Peace w. V. Oglesby
was called to the hospital for the in
sane yesterday to hold an inquest over
the body of patient, John Mooney,
who died Tuesday night as the result
of being scalded i'll a bathtub last
Thursday.
The patient, who was an inmate of
the 10th ward, was a helpless epileptic,
being admitted from Centralia in 1893.
An inquest was considered necessary
to bring out all the facts and establish
whether or not anyone was responsible
for the death and whether a crime had
been committed
The following jurors were empanel-
ed: Eugene H. Miles, William E.
Young, John L. Campbell, George
Maiers, Newton Smith and John II.

Drs. Roy G. Jackson and William
H. Krickbaum of the hospital staff,
and William E. Heller, Jesse Dune
heskie and Charles Thomas, attend
ants, testified at the inquest.

verdict: That John Mooney came to
his death on March 29th, at the State
hospital for the insane at Danville
through having been s-alded in bath
tub in ward No. 10 on March "A, 1910
that from the evidence given it would
appear that another patient turned hot
water into the tub in the absence of
the attendant who had charge of said
patient and that there was no evidence
to show that the management of the
institution was in any way response

which have no other object than to
give expression to the good feeling and

When it is explained that the conclave
has membership of two hundred and

present, with their companions, CON
stituted a goodly company, indeed.
In making the arrangements nothing
was omitted that would add to the
pleasure of the evening. John Jacobs

pared, well-served and sumptuous
banquet was an assured fact. Music
for the occasion was furnished by
Miles orchestra and the Orpheus Glee

The guest of honor was W. L. Vain
wright, Alternate District Deputy
Supreme Archon of the order, who was
accompanied by his wife The ad-
dresses, which abounded in happy hits
and innocent raillery constituted a
most enjoyable feature, and these, to-
gether with the good music and the
pleasures of the feast made the even
ing one that will linger in the minds
of those present as delightful mem

Among Others of rank that attended
the banquet was our townsman, Dis

assisted to build up the order in this
section.
Among other members of Lotus Con-

A MAMMOTH
FISH HATCHERY
HARRISBURG. March &c


State Commissioner of Fisheries
William +. Meehan yesterday receiv-
ed word that President Taft had ap-
proved the act turning over to the
State, for use as a fish hatchery, the
greater part of Presque Isle peninsula,
at Erie. The act was passed unanim-
ously by congress and was signed with
In three days.
"The Presque Isle hatchery will be
the largest in the world" said Com
missioner Meehan, 'and its pond cul-
ture station will be larger, probably,
than all others in the United States
combined. Nothing can be done by the
department until the next legislature
has provided funds. We shall ask for
$50, 900 to start the work and probably
$3.50, 900 distributed through a number
of years, will be needed to develop and
beautify the property
"This new hatchery is of vast i'm
portance. For instance, Pennsylvania
has discovered that if the water area
be large enough, it is possible to i'm
pound sturgeon and have them spawn.
One of the lakes on this new hatchery
is nearly mile long and more than a
mile wide, and it is our intention to
stock this pond with lake sturgeon in
the endeavor to restore the sturgeon
industry to Lake Erie, which has been
ruined.
"Muscallonge are also rapidly dis
appearing in Pennsylvania waters ON
Lake Erie, because nothing has been
done to propagate them. Another large
lake on this new property will afford
plenty of room as breeding pond for
this great game fish. Two other natur
al lakes there will enable the State to
turn out nearly half as many black
bass annually as the State now turns
out of trout. 1t will also enable the
State to hatch annually as many yell
low perch as the entire output of all
kinds of fish at the present time each
year"

applied to the superintendent of a
western railway for work and, some
what against the superintendent
wish, on account of the danger to life
and limb attendant upon such occupa-
| ton, was given place as brakeman
of a freight train.
| On one of his first trips it happened
that his train met another freight
train at station where the sidetrack
was not long enough to accommodate
either of them. The conductors were
debating which train should back up
to point where they could pass when
the new hand ventured to suggest that
neither should back; that they could
pass each other by means of the short
sidetrack if the thing was managed
right.
The idea excited a good deal OF
laughter on the part of the old train
men, but the boy stood his ground.
"Well, how would you go about it?"
asked one of the conductors, confident
that the lad would soon find himself
against n stump.
The boy took up stick and traced
in the sand n diagram to illustrate his
plan.
