Read His Own Obituary.
Wilmington, Del., Aug. 8.—James F.
Kane, a well-known resident of Wil.
mington, read his own obituary notice.
‘When it was reported that he had
died the supposed fact was published
here, together with a glowing account
of his career. His friends were great-
ly shocked when they read of his de
mise. He is prominent in the Demo-
cratic League, and while the members
were mourning his death he suddenly
appeared among them. They thought
it was Kane’s ghost, and were fright:
ened, but he assured them he was not
dead. Today he is in good health. It
is not known who started the report
of his death.
iTo Duplicate Every !’'aval Gun.
‘Washington, Aug. 7.—kvery gun in
the navy is to have its duplicate to
guard against any emergency and ac-
cident, if the will of the naval chief
of ordnance is carried out. The naval
general board approves of this pre
caution, and the naval estimates to
80 before the next congress will con-
tain a formidable item to cover the
- cost of producing the new guns. If
- this project is sanctioned by congress
a vast amount of additional work will
be thrown upon the Washington navy
yard, where most of the naval guns
are made. } »

A DesErVvED TRIBUTE.—A circular is-
sued by the New York Life Insurance com-
pany pays a deserved tribute to tbe worth
of the late William Grauer as an agent. Tt
states that in the four years that be was
agent for that company he wrote in per-
sonally paid business 287 policies, carrying
an aggregate amount of $1,997,125 insur-
ance. Referring to his death the circular
says :
‘‘William Grauer joined the company in
January, 1901, He quickly demonstrated
rare insurance ability, produced a large
amount of high class business from the start,
gained immediate membership in the $200,-
000 club, renewed the membership each
subsequent year; was vice president-at-
large in 1903, and at his death had to his
credit so large and fine a business that his
chances for the club presidency were most
excellent. He was also a drawing Nylic.
His business was in every case so strongly
sold that it stayed and paid and rarely any
one of his polices went off the books.’’
a
MAY GET IN DEEP WATER.—Residents
in and around Beech Creek are very much
agitated because the Clinton and Centre
county commissioners have thus far failed
to erect the county line bridge over the
Beech Creek to replace the one washed away
by the flood three years ago. A writer in
the Lock Haven Express thus sums up the
sitaation:
There is likely to be something interest-
ing doing in the vicinity of the old Hub-
bard bridge before long. After the bridge
was washed away thiee years ago, it was
Becessaly to make a fording place and erect
a foot-log. To use eitherof these, it is
necessary to go over the land of Albert E.
Loomis, who lives on his farm on the Cen-
tre county side. Mr. Loomis says that he
will not endure the trespassing any longer
and intends to close up the fording place
and the path to the foot-lo g further up the
stream. This will be doing something. The
water is from 10 to 15 feet deep where the
old bridge stood and it is impossible to
make a fording there. The delay in build-
ing a bridge at this point has caused no
end of trouble and annoyance and incon-
venience to the people of that district, and
to the general traveling public. Several
accidents and narrow escapes from drown-
ing have ocourred. The matter of the Hub-
bard bridge is anything but a compliment
to those in authority in Clinton and Centre
counties.

evening, every member being present. The

pole had been secured for erection at the
Brick building and they were instructed to
have it put up at once. The same com-
mittee also reported that the front fence at

ARRESTED ON A SERIOUS CHARGE.
—Tuesday evening of last week John G.
Platt, who for years as secretary and treas-
urer was at the head of the Platt, Barber
& Co. wholesale grocery establishments, in
Philipsburg, with branches in several other
towns, was arrested on the serious charge
of embezzlement and falsification of ac-
counts. The information was made by R.
H. Zerby, the present secretary, who sets
forth items aggregating a total of over
$100,000. Mr. Platt entered bail for his
appearance at the August term of court in
this place for trial.
For many years the accused has been one
of the foremost citizens of - Philipsburg-and |-
bis arrest naturally caused no little sensa.
sion. In addition to hie connection with
the Platt—Barber company he has large
coal interests in this and Clearfield counties
and is the principal etockholder ‘in the
Bituminous Record company. For years he
bas been a great church, Sunday schol and
Y. M. C. A. worker. He was more or less
interested in politics and on several occa-
sions was sent by the Republicans as a
. Those
who know Mr. Plass bess declare that there
must be some mistake about the serious
Saree made and at the proper time he will
be able to vindicate himsell. And there
is very little probability of the case ever
coming to trial, as it is one more of per-
sonal differences shan business discrep-
anciés.

er, died in the Bellefonte hospital, at eight

THE BoROUGH COUNCIL. — Messrs; Kirk,
Brown, Seibert, Wise, Keichline and Kel-
ler were the six members present at the
convening of borough council Monday
evening. In the absence of Mr. Jenkins,
president, Mr. Keller was chosen to fill
the chair. The reports of the varions com-
wmittees were submitted but none of them
were very alarming ; about the only thing
of any interest was from the Street com-
mittee, when is reported that W.. H. Criss-
man, William Reasner, J. F. Thal, W. T.
Speer, Isaac Thomas, H. A. Smith and
John Shadle had each paid $10 for tapping
the new sewer on Thomas street; thas Col.
Reynolds had paid a like amount for tap-
ping thesewer on High street and John M.
Shagers ditto for tapping a sewer in Pike
alley.
Clement Dale Esq., on behalf of the
Union Cemetery association, asked that an
alley be laid out and opened south of the
new section of the cemetery and parallel
with High strees from the old cemetery
east to Wilson street. The matter was re-
ferred to the Street committee with power
to act.
Borough solicitor Fortney submitted an
ordinance intended to regulate the running
at large of dogs within the borough limits
in which be bad incorporated an- alto-
gether uncalled for fling at the burgess of
the town and a matter which the council
should not have permitted to go unnotic-
ed. Borough business and the couneil
chamber is no place for an employee of the
borough to ventilate his personal venom and
Col. Fortney should be polite enough at
least to omit such uncalled for allusions in
bis otherwise very valuable euggestions to
council.
Dr. Kirk made and Mr. Keichline sec-
onded a motion amending the ordinance
80 that it would necessitate the muzzling
of all dogs all the year through. The
amendment. passed bus the ordinance was
defeated by a three to two vote.
Geo. R. Meek, ex-borough treasurer,
having transferred all the money and books
in his possession to his successor, his bond
was cancelled and bondsmen released, on a
motion by Mr. Keichline.
Since the last meefing of council a test
of the reservoir has been made which shows
that it is leaking an average of 100,000
gallons of water every twenty-four hours.
Council decided that the big basin would
have to be emptied, cleaned and repaired.
On motion of Mr. Keller, of the Finance
committee, two notes were ordered drawn
in favor of the borough treasurer, one for
$6,400 for one month and one for $2,000
for two months, for the: purpose of lifting
other notes now due and paying overdrafts.
The High street bridge being reported in
a bad pondition the Street committee was
ordered to repair it with- as little expense
as possible. The following bills were ap-
proved aad orders drawn :
