Tells unknown HISTORY
OF Lincoln VISIT here
Benjamin F. Meyers Relates Surprising
Fact That the "Peace Democrats
Were in Session in Harrisburg at
Very Time War President Was Here

"reminiscences of Harrisburg, was
the subject of a paper read to the
Dauphin County Historical Society last
night by the veteran editor, Benjamin
f. Meyers. Mr.. Meyers told his audience
some things concerning events in Har-
risburg that few beside the narrator
knew about.
He began with the early John Harris
regime and traced the city's municipal
government up to the present time. He
told of the visits to the city of men
famous in history, from Washington to
Lincoln; gave most interesting story
of young Harrisburg, and ended his
paper with the story of Lincoln IS visit
to Harrisburg on February 22, 1861.
1t was in telling of Lincoln's visit
that Mr.. Meyers sprung surprise on
his audience and gave them bit of
Harrisburg history with which none of
them were familiar. Indeed, no refer
ence was made to it in the Harrisburg
newspapers of the time, and but for its
being repeated from memory by Mr..
Meyers, it is doubtful if it would have
been made public.

LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY QUIET

Although Lincoln s birthday is a le-
gal holiday in this State, it was not
observed as such in Harrisburg.
Patriotic societies did honor to the
memory of the great war President. No
clty, county or state Offices were closed
on account of the holiday, however.
Banks observe every legal holiday and
they were closed.
The schools remained open as usual
and short exercises were held in most
every school in the city in memory of
the martyred President. Holiday hours
were observed at the postoffice, the first
delivery and collection being made to-
gether with the evening collections.
The postoffices were closed at 10
o clock this morning TO reopen at mid
night
Members of all G.. A. R. posts and
their friends are invited to attend the
patriotic exercises this evening at 8
clock in the post rooms of No. 5S at
26 North Third street. Captain John
Hart Campbell, chief draughtsman in
the Department of Internal Affairs, will
be the speaker of the evening.

concluding sentence of a notice found

County Judge H. H. Denhardt, the de-

OPTION BILL is IN JEOPARDY
Those Who Oppose 1t Say 40 Mem
bers of House Will Vote Against
the Brumbaugh Measure

Evidence continues to accumulate
that the Brumbaugh local option meas
ure recently introduced in the House
of Representatives giving. counties the
right once in three years to vote on the
question of "liquor" or .'no liquor. -
will meet with a stormy reception in
that body, ami unless all indications
are wrong the bill will be defeated.
In the last week the opponents of To-
cal option have. been taking a poll of
the House to ascertain just where they
stand, and one of the most active of
the antis is authority for the assertion
that there are at least 140 votes
against local option in the lower branch.
Only 1O4 are necessary to defeat a
measure.
A prominent legislative official, who
has been watching the trend of events
in the local option contest, is authority
for the statement that there will be 146
votes against the measure in the House,
or six more than the number claimed by
the liquor men. This information. ne
said, was obtained by personal confer
ence with members of the House and
through written pledges that have been
made by Legislators against the bill.
1t is also said that the local option
bill will never get before the Senate
and if it should it will meet with de-
feat there.
Should the measure be defeated in
the House and by any chance be passed
by the Senate it could not again be con
sidered in the House because of the con-
stitutional provision that a Senate
measure embodying provisinos of bill
once defeated in the House cannot
again be considered in the House.
Governor Brumbaugh is working
earnestly to secure majority of both
houses to cary out his local option
pledges, and his friends say that he
may be able to secure the passage of
the bill, but they have their doubts.

Railroad Superintendent Predicts Boom
for South Harrisburg

William B. MeCaleb, superintendent
of the Philadelphia Division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, in talk with a
Star-lndependent reporter last evening
predicted an immense business boom in
the warehouse district of South Harris
burg on the completion of the vast i'm.
provements the railroad is making
there.
He said Harrisburg from now on can
look for the consumation of MANY
plans for the building of warehouses
both by individuals and companies. The
fact that the railroad actually is at
work preparatory to laying its net
work of tracks and building it's great
freight station in the big area it has
acquired south of Mulberry, gives
tangible proof that this is to be one of
the greatest Wholesale distributing cen
ters on the whole Pennsy system.
This fact, in his opinion, will en-
courage the building up of South Har-
risburg as wholesale distribution cen
ter by interests that had been holding
off pending definite assurance as to the
railroad Is intentions.
Mr.. McCaleb said that few persons,
outside of railroad circles, appreciated
how important it was for Harrisburg
that the company established here the
big freight transfer station recently
completed at Division street, up town.
