Political Leader a Suicide.
Samuel A. Steei, of Huntingdon, Sends Bullet Into
His Brain.
HUNTINGDON, Pa., Dec. 20.—With a
bullet in his brain, Samuel A. Steel, the
recognized Republican leader in this
‘county, was found dead in his room to-day.
For several years he has been" troubled
with a serious affection of the throat, and
this is believed to have led to his act of
self-destruction. The bullet which caused
death had entered at the mouth. He was
60 years old.
The dead man was ex-prothonotary of
Huntingdon county, and at the time of his
death was deputy prothonotary. As dele-
gate from this county he was a familiar
figure at Republican state conventions
for 30 or more years, and at the time of
his death he was considered the most
likely candidate of his party for the sena-
torial nomination in the Thirty-third dis-
trict, composed of Huntingdon and Frank-
lin counties, to succeed Alexander Stew-
art, of Chambersburg.
During the civil war Mr. Steel served in
the Federal army in its operations about
Visksburg. A Afterward he served in many
positions of trust, having been clerk of the
county commissioners, prothonotary for six
years, deputy prothonotary and a member
of the board of managers of the Pennsyl-
vania industrial reformatory, having heen
appointed to that position by Governor
Stone in 1902. .
A Clendennin Suspect in Lock Haven
Jail.
He Claims to Have Spent the Night of the Murder
at Montoursville.
Edward Moyer, who was arrested at
Sunbury on suspicion of being the mur-
derer of W. H. Clendennin at Brown’s
tower, is now in the Lock Haven jail, hav-
ing been taken there Sunday night by rail-
road detective Lebo.
There appears to be a hitch between
district attorney McCormick and officer
Lebo, who were in consultation in I.ock
Haven Monday morning, as to the steps to
be taken in the effort to connect Moyer
with the crime. In any event no time has
been set for a hearing and officer Lebo has
gone to Montousville to investigate the
claim made by Moyer that he spent the
night of the murder in a sawmill, pear
Montoursville and that the watchman will
be able to verify his statement.
The Fisher mill is the only mill in that
vicinity that was running at the time of
the murder and the watchman there says a
man of Moyer’s general description did

Mr. and Mrs. Richard T. Gates celebrated
their silver wedding anniversary last Sat-

Furnace. The house was beautifully dec-

and many friends were bidden to the royal
lay-out. The dinner table was ladened with
the very choicest that the market could af-
ford. Beside the invited guests many uneigh-
bors called during theday and assisted the
couple in spending the most enjoyable day
perhaps since he day they took the marriage
vow Dec. 19th, 1878.

An effort is being made to have a postoffice
established at Snydertown. A petition has
been circulated and sent in to the Depart-

Nitt lumber operations here there is a large
amount of mail handled at this point and a
postoffice will be a great convenience.
Messrs. 8 Reed & Son are building a large
shed over their coal bins. They have quite
an extensive trade in coal. During the coal
strike last season they were so fortunate as
to have quite a stock of coal on hand’ They
were offered big prices for it by dealers
around ; some from quite a distance,but they
kept the coal and sold it to their trade at
very reasonable prices and their customers
have not forgotten this.
We spent a very pleasant hour one day this

up very pleasant rooms near the R. R. sta-
tion and is bard at work with the help of a
couple of ‘assistants in getting’ up a display
that shall be a credit to the agricultural in-
terests of this great State. We had but a
faint conception of the work involved in
securing and arranging such an exhibit until
Mr. Woodward kindly showed what had al-
ready been done and what was yet to do.
The work is made harder by the fact that
Mr. Woodward was not appointed until late
in the season and many specimens are. hard
to get now. This isan opportunity for .any
