LANCASTER, PA, July %, 1914.
If the leaf trade around this part of
the country was only half as good as
the cigar industry, local packers would
not be inclined to register any kicks.
While numbers of the smaller manu-
facturers complain of slack trade, the
bulk of the manufacturers are not do
ing any complaining. They are ex-
tremely optimistic, and while not ex-
pecting much in the way of business
during the midsummer season, they
really do expect big trade this fall.
They report business now as being rea-
sonably good for this time of year, and
the revenue reports for the present
month show that they are not talking
for effect. Money talks, and the Ninth
revenue district receipts show that a
big lot of cigars are being manufact-
ured in this district, which means that
Lancaster and York counties are surely
doing business.
wondering why, with the cigar trade in
its present condition, the leaf business
is not better. The new packing will
soon be on the market, and naturally
much interest is felt by the trade re-
garding it. The holders of the 1913 to-
bacco declare it will prove very desir-
able goods, such as has been tested
excellent burning qualities and
a nice odor. While some black rot
shows up, there is no more than the
usual percentage, and no other trouble
has so far been reported. The ques-
ton of price for the new goods has not
been much discussed as yet, as this
will have to be decided by the state of
the market. AS the 1912 goods are
selling all the way from 145 to I6 cents
it is not to be expected that the new
packing will bring more.
The weather has been great the past
week for the new crop, but it won't
need much more rain than it has been

Maynard Green Hurt

On Tuesday evening, Maynard Green,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Green, liv-
ing two miles north of town, was quite
seriously injured in runaway acci-
dent which took place at the cucumber
sailing station. The young man had
brought in load of cucumbers, which
were being unloaded. and was adjust
ing the lines so that they would not get
under the wagon tongue, when in some
manner the team became frightened
and ran away. The boy hung to the
lines and was dragged some distance
but was compelled to let go and it is
thought was struck or run over by one
of the wheels. He was picked up and
attended by physician who found that
several ribs had been fractured and
the lungs slightly punctured. The team
ran along the east side of the Con-
densed Milk factory becoming entangled
in the guy wires to the stack which
stopped them. They were uninjured.
At present the young man is recovering
as rapidly as could be expected.

FRAUDS
BEING PR0BED
JUDGE WISNER HEARS EVIDENCE
AS SPECIAL MAGISTRATE
Proceedings Are Secret, and Little 10
Known at Present of Probable
Results

Charges of wholesale fraud in certain
precincts of Flint in connection with
the recent primary election, have come
to focus in an investigation which is
being conducted before Judge, c. H.
Wisner, setting as special magistrate.
The peoples side of the case is being
looked after by an assistant from the
attorney generals Office at Lansing.
AS the proceedings have been kept
secret the public will have no knowl-
edge of the testimony except arrests
are made as a result. From reports
hitherto published, it appears that four
men have been arrested for illegalWot-
ing, and extraordinary prominence has
been given to the case of Mathew Hut
ting, who voted one year before he at
tanned legal age. Everyone will hope
that the investigation will be exhaus-
tive and that if evidence of fraud is
found the guilty parties may be ade-
quately punished.

Farm Residence Burns

The farm residence of Martin Mont
ney, two miles west of Clio, was COM
pletely destroyed by fire last week Fri
day afternoon. A fire had been started
in the cook stove by Mrs. Montney,
shortly after which she left the house
and it is thought the building caught
from defective chimney. The flames
were first discovered by the pupils of
the Waldo School opposite of the Mont
ney farm. The teacher dismissed the
school in order that the furniture might
be saved and that the pupils could bat
tie with the flames, thus saving the
barn and other buildings. The loss is
estimated at $1,000 with insurance of
$4OO. The family is at present occupy
ing tent on the premises and, we
understand, expect to move to Clio to
live during the winter. Mr.. Montney
expects to work in Flint.

23RD MICH. INFANTRY
At MT. MORRIS
FORTY-NINTH ANNUAL REUNION
VERY ENJOYABLE
Seventy-Five Veterans Represent Or
ganization That Mustered Nearly
Fifteen Hundred

On the muster rolls of the old 23rd
Mich. Infantry, including the original
enlistment and recruits, theRames of
over fourteen hundred men were in
scribed from '62 to '65, and of these
about eighty-ive gathered at Mt. Nor
ris on Wednesday to join in their 49th
annual reunion. AS the years roll on
and the ranks of those who participated
in the great civil conflict are swiftly
thinning to augment the muster rolls
of death, those who survive meet at
each recurring annual reunion with i'm
creasing interest and deepening devo-
ton toward one another.
The fact was pathetically manifest in
the reunion held at Mt. Morris. Men
who had shared the privations and dan
gers of field and camp In the vigor of
youth, now feeble and bent with the
weight of years, clasped hands with a
fervor that such as they alone can
know and almost the first words spoken
were those of inquiry concerning
comrades who had heard the final
reveille, and entered into eternal rest.
The program was given in the M. E.
Church, Comrade Geo. Pailthorpe, pres
ident of the association, presiding. DR..
H. w. Graham extended feeling well
come to the members of the regiment,
their wives and daughters. A fitting
response to this address was made by
Comrade Thomas B. Main, of Midland,
who was followed by other comrades in
series of intensely interesting reminis-
cent addresses. Mrs. F. A. C Plummer,
past department president of the w. R.
c. of Michigan, also gave an interest
ing address and was followed by Mrs.
Graves, whose remarks were both elo-
quent and appropriate to the occasion.
Prof. w. j. Maginn also gave short
but fine address. The musical features
of the program were splendid and added
much to the pleasure of the event.
Shannon Scott and Irwin Stafford, of
Clio. members of the regiment, were
present at the reunion as were also Jos.
Buffum. Edwin Ormsbee and H. H.
Richardson. E. E. Huyck. an honor
ary member. was in attendance. Mr..
Huyck's father served with the regi-
ment until he was taken prisoner, and
died, later. in the Confederate military
prison at Andersonville.
About thirty ladies, wives and daugh-
ters of the veterans, participated in the
reunion and at the conclusion of the
program vote of thanks was given
the citizens of Mt. Morris for the COM
plete and generous manner in which
they had entertained.
The next annual reunion, the 5Oth,
will be held at Corunna, on date to be
announced in due time by the secretary.
Officers were elected as follows: j J.
Peacock, President, Corunna; Daniel
Munger, Corunna. Vice President; Robt.
Anderson, Maple Rapids, Secretary.

IFrom the Saginaw Courier-Herald Of Sept. ISL


Investigation yesterday tended to
confirm the police theory that in the
arrest Sunday night of w. ]. Schofeld,
clerk in downtown store, the authori-
ties have succeeded in locating the man
responsible for the four attacks on wo-
men that have occurred in the last four
weeks at dimly lighted points on out
lying residence streets.
One of the women attacked and chok-
ed about ten days ago yesterday identi-
fed Schofield as the man who assaulted
her. The latest victim. Miss Alice
Hyhan, 313 Fitzhugh street, has told
the police she is certain Schofield is the
man who attacked her Sunday evening
on Tuscola street, between Fifth and
Sixth streets.
This latter attack resulted in Scho-
fields capture. for two young men,
hearing Miss Hynsn's screams, rushed
from nearby house and held Schofield
until police officers arrived and took
him into custody. The police. accord
ing to Captain Elmer E. Bishop. are
certain that in the arrest of Schofield
in connection with the attack on Miss
Hynan they have taken the man impli-
Gated in the three previous attacks on
lone women.
When questioned at the police station
Immediately after his arrest Schofield
denied all connection with any of the
four cases, and yesterday maintained
his determined protestations Of innocence.
Currency to the amount of 1906 was
found in his pockets when he was
arrested.
Pending further Investigation Of the
case, no warrant has been issued, but
it is expected that formal charges will
be made against him today. The police
theory is that Schofield Is the victim Of
an unusual mania which impels him to

S. 8 F. CAR SMASHES
TRACTION ENGINE
TRACTION ENGINEER PROBABLY
FATALLY INJURED
Accident Occurred Two Miles South of
Mt. Morris, Tuesday Afternoon .
at Five O'clock.

A serious accident took place at Cold
water Crossing. two miles south of Mt.
Morris, yesterday afternoon, when a
limited train on the S. & F., consisting
of two cars filled with passengers,
crashed into a traction engine. The
first car of the train was in charge of
motorman Smith, of Bridgeport, and
conductor Vess Butler, of Clio.
The train was northbound, being due
at Clio at 5:15, and the motorman's view
of the crossing was obscured by hill.
When the crest of the hill was reached
the motorman saw that the traction
engine was stalled on the crossing, and
at once applied the air brakes, but the
grade was steep, the distance to be
traversed short, the train heavy, and as
consequence the engine was struck
with terrific force. The engineer was
hurled from the cab of the traction en-
CINE, the engine itself demolished, and
one of its large driving wheels carried
half block in the wreckage of the
yestibule of the car. The waiting room
at the crossing was reduced to kindling
wood
When picked up the engineer was
breathing but unconscious, covered
with blood. and bore evidence of the
most severe injuries. Motorman Smith
who pluckily stuck to his post was also
injured, though not seriously, it apper-
ed, and soon after the accident both he
and the engineer were taken in auto
mobiles to Hurley hospital at Flint.
A report from the hospital received at
about eight o'clock last evening indi-
Gated the surgeons were still engaged
in examining the injuries of the engi-
neer whose chances for recovery were
considered slight.
All we have been able to learn of the
indentity of the injured engineer is that
his name Is Wilson, his home is in Flint,
and that the engine he was running be.
longs to man named Thomas, who
resides near Flushing.
Had the big driver of the traction en-
gine fallen under the wheels of the cal
and derailed it the results of the acci.
dent might have been much more ser.
ious. AS it was the passengers were
practically uninjured.

CHARGED WITH ASSAULTINC WO-
MEN AT SAGINAW
Accused Formerly Well Known Business
Man of Clio. Denies Charges,
Released on Bail.


William j. Schofield, 1921 James ave-
nue., was arrested Sunday night after
a swift chase by Frank A. Hynan and
Frank L. Noey, and was then taken to
central station by officers Schoenhoff
and Packard, who came up in the patrol
auto on call. officer McGregor remain
ed on the scene to investigate. Scho-
field is charged with attacking Miss
Alice Hynan, daughter of Thomas
Hynan, 313 Fitzhugh street, while she
was walking on Tuscola street about 2
o'clock.
Sunday evening Miss Hynan, with
other members of her family and friends,
attended party given at the home Of
M. Noey, 1917 Tuscola street, the event
being one of a series of pre-nuptial
events in honor of relative. Accom-
panied by Miss Agnes M. Noey, Miss
Hynan went to Lapeer Avenue after a
valise wanted by a lady at the party,
and it was on the return of the two
young women the attack occurred, and
right near the Noey residence. Just as
in the other cases the assailant ap-
preached rapidly, seized Miss Hynan
and checked her. Miss Noey, witness
of the assault, screamed, and the two
young men, Frank A. Hynan and Frank
l.. Noey, members of the company as
sembled at the party. ran to the rescue.
They saw man running away, followed
him, and caught him as he doubled back,
he evidently being frightened by seeing
a man watching him from the east side
of Sixth street, in which direction he
was heading.
This spectator, V. c. VanDusen, 305
North Sixth street, saw the man run
ming tow ards him from the scene of the
assault, saw him turn and double back
and saw him captured. The prisoner
was readily identified as Scofield. He
is clerk in down town business es-
tablishment, and formerly resided in
and carried on business at Clio. He had
1906 on his person when captured.
Schofeld strenuously denied his guilt
when arrested. He was still held at
headquarters at l o'clock Monday after
noon, although no charge had been made
against him.
Mrs. Jacobs, 1880 Cherry street, who
was attacked near Tenth and James
streets the night of September 2, saw
Schofeld at police headquarters Monday
morning, and at once declared she iden-
titled him as her hitherto unknown
assailant.
Other attacks made by an unknown
man were August IL, when Mrs. Louis
Gross, 715 Brown street, was assailed,
and September 10. when Miss M. M.
Gross, PIT South Fifth street, was
choked and thrown to the pavement.

by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-

unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-

Castle Yesterday

In the Valley of Contentmen just beyond the Hills
of Old,
Where the streams always silver and the sun
shine always gold,
Where the hour is morning and the skies are
never gray,
In the yellow haze of springtime stands the Castle
Yesterday.
Oh, the seasons that spent there when the
whole wide world was young;
The friends we've had as maid and lad, the songs
that we have sung
The schoes of their music cannot quite have died
away,
But still must thrill the rooftree of the Castle
Yesterday.
And loving hearts we knew there in the time of
trust and truth,
Surely still they wait behind us in the Pantheon
of youth
But the angel of the valley at the portal bars
way
And flaming sword forbids us from the Castle
Yesterday.
When the pilgrimage is ended, may we turn then,
may we change
To the vanished and familiar from the present and
the strange? N
Who so chooses to his heaven-I shall be content
to stay
Where the ghosts of dead years wander through
the halls of Yesterday.
