There are again reports of Zeppelin airships making an appearance along the northeast coast of England. These lack confirmation.

years, but I understand they met at
long intervals"
Mrs Albright was the daughter of
the late David Derr, who for many
years lived at Derry and Summit
streets. The father was a night watch
man at the old Cowden planning mill
in Market street. Mrs. Albright had
one daughter, Mrs. John Casey, and
one adopted son, Dennis Albright of
Baltimore.
The daughter is a resident of Le-
moyne. She was married twice. Her
first husband was Russell Butler, a
lawyer. who was recently a candidate
for mayor of Chicago. Attorney But
Ter began his study of the law with
the late Marlin E. Olmsted. Some
years ago Mrs. Butler secured di-
vorce and married John Casey.
The son has not been in Harrisburg
for ten years, 1t is said he is a tuber-
cular sufferer and has not been able
to follow any occupation recently. He
was last heard from in Baltimore. 1t
is said he has not been in Harrisburg
i'll seven years.
Lived Alone for Years
Mrs. Albright had been living alone
for many years.
Neighbors believe that during the
heavy rainstorm Wednesday night the
man who attacked Mrs. Albright asked
her to shelter him in the house during
the storm. This the woman refused
to do, they believe. and the man en-
tered the house forcibly, then attacked d
and choked her to death.
No outcries were heard during the
night. it is said, but at one time the
dog which the woman kept began bark
ing fiercely. This neighbors said, is
not unusual. and notfin ing more was
thought of 1t until it was learned that
the woman had been murdered

per foot front as fair price for the
land with the exception of the A. p.

critics. These they contended were
worth from ten to twenty dollars per
foot more because their business had
to be considered The boating bi

Senator E. E. Beidleman who rep
with Mr.. Miller during the morning.
Mr. Miller fixed $2,S00 as his total
estimate of the market worth of
Frank Yingst's property, 1902 North
Front street. The foot front value, he
estimated at $780, and he got at this
figure, he said, by deducting the value
of the building from the total Valua-
ton. The building, he figured, was
worth about $500.
That would leave $4,000 wouldn't
it?" suggested Mr. Beidleman, "and
1t is upon this that you fix the sixteen
feet of Mr.. Yingst's frontage at $50
per foot 'front.'"
Yes, SIR"
Don't you know, Mr.. Miller"
gravely pursued Mr.. Beidleman, that
upon that basis the value of the six
teen feet of frontage would be $125
per foot?"
