SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
Father and Little Son Lose Their Lives
As a Result Of an Exploding
Gasoline Torch.

While this accident occurred in
Williamsburg, Pa, it is of much
local interest because the father
was a son-in.law of the late
William and Rae h hel Daniels
Dixon, both former residents of
this county.
Herbert Coveney, ag ed 81
years, was the husband Of Helen
Dixon. Since the death Of
William two years ago, Mr.. and
Mrs. Coveney and their bright
little five-year old son, William
Dixon Coveney, lived in the home
of Mrs. Dixon 1892 Franklin
Street, Williamsburg. After
supper on the evening of August
Sth, Mr.. Coveney remarked to
the family, that he would so to
the garage-that th e storage
battery of his automobile needed
some attention. The little son,
of course, went along with Papa.
While in the act of doing some
soldering in the garage, the gas
oline torch exploded, throwing
blazing gasoline all over the
father and son, burning them
most seriously, before the fire
could be extinguished. They
were hurried at once to the
Columbia hospital in that city,
and everything possible done to
relieve them from suffering. but
the little boy passed away at las
and the father at 5:45 the follow
ing morning.
The funeral took place at the
home of Mrs. Dixon on Monday,
August 18th and father and son,
who were companions in life,
were laid to rest-both in one
beautiful casket.
Mr.. Coveney was a member oi
the Presbyterian Church, a splen'
did citizen, and, at the time OF
his death he occupied the respon
sible position Of Auditor in the
Schenley Farm Real Estate Com
pany.
Mrs. Dixon has the sympathy
of her many friends, for it /;
scarcely two yeats since the life
less body of her husband wa
conveyed to her home as the re
result of an accident on the rail
road.

The Difference.

An obscure fve-line item in the
newspapers, says the Harrisburg
Telegraph, announces the fact
that Richard +. Cleveland, son
of former President Cleveland,
has completed preliminary train
ing at Boston and has gone to
Quantico, Va, to enter the
officers school of the Marine
Corps. Only that; no long ac-
count of his distinguished an
cestry. No mention Of the sac
rlhce he has made. Only the
bare news that he has done his
simple duty as thousands OF other
American boys have done and are
doing, and that he will be an
officer in the ranks of the hard
fighting Marines providing, OF
course, he makes good in train
ing camp. Always providing
that, for there is no soft berth In
tne American Marines, no royal
road to military honors.
That is one of the differences
between the United States and
Germany. The Kaiser's six sons,
decorated with all manner OF
honorary" degrees and bur-
dened with unearned military
decorations, strut about like pea
cocks safe behind the lines, while
sons of free born Americans who
have held the reins of power for
a day, but who have stepped
aside at expiration OF their terms
as President, go forth in the
ranks or as minor officers to fight
shoulder to shoulder with the
sons of other freemen from The
humblest walks Of life.

War Savings Stamps.

French, Italian and other pee
pies, are in a big war with Ger

big Jobs take lots Of money. Be
cause you and | are partners in
this business, we must put up
our share Of the cash. One
scheme for raising two-thousand
millions of dollars is the sale of
War Savings Stamps. To raise
this sum, each man, woman, and
child must buy twenty dollars,
worth. OF course, in buying the
stamps, you are really only lend
ing the money, for you get it all
back again with A per cent com
pound interest. A mighty good
investment. Have you bought
all the stamps that are coming to
you; for you know you cannot
get more than n thousand dollars

money is needed. If you do not
lend the money to the Govern
ment by buying stamps and

Dwight r. Sipes, son of Mr..

Licking Greek township, writes
from France under date of July
Goth: We are now up near the
Front, and the booming of the
cannon in the great conflict lulls
us to sleep at night and awakens
us in the morning. This expert
ence is intended to quiet our
nerves and get US in tune for the
firing line. The airplanes hover
around in the sky like crows and
become fine targets for t h e
Boches, when they steal across
the lines and fly over enemy
territory, bound on a bombing eX-
pedition. OF course, the enemy's
planes comeover on our side with
a view to destroying French
cities in the rear of our lines.
But the Allies, consider it pay

treat the American boys with
the greatest respect which IS
more marked even, than the
proverbial French hospitality.
The French peasant is great for
the Americans money. All the
Allies, however, havea glad hand
for Sammies as they sometimes
cali us, for they feel sure that we
are the boys that will chase the
Huns back into Berlin and save
the world from German imperi-
alism.
This must be the rainy season
