REUNION OF THE FIRST DEFENDERS, —
When then the news was flashed over the
country forty-six years ago that Fort Sump-
ter bad been fired upou snd President Lin-
ooln issued his first proclamation calling
for volunteers to defend the Union, the
brave and loyal men of Harris and Potter
townehips banded together and enlisted as
campany H, 7th regiment P. V. I. or who
were better known ae the First Defenders.
Capt Robert McFarlane, of Boalsburg, went
to the frout as their commander. Seventy-
seven sturdy sons made up the band who
went to the front bas nos nearly all return-
ed after the war was over, and now only a
handful, about twenty men in all remain,
and these have planned to hold a reunion
at Boalsburg on Saturday, October 19h.

~—Sabsoribe for the WATCHMAN,
JouN GROVE.—Died at Burnham on
Friday lass, while on a visits to his son-in-
law, Harry Stover, John Grove, one of
Gregg township’s well known and highly
esteemed sitizens, in the Slss year of his
age. Interment in the Cross charch cem-
etery, Georges valley, on Mouday, Dr. D.
M. Wolf, officiating, assisted by the Rev.
G. W. Mollnay, of the M. E. church. The
burial was hy Masonic ceremony. His
wife preceded him to the grave eight
months ago but he is survived by three
sons and one daoghter: Mrs, Harry Sto-
ver, of Barnham ; Cyrus, of Freepors, Ill. ;
Hiram, of Morganza, and W. M., residing
a short distance above Spring Mills. "Mr.
Grove had always enjoyed very excellent
health until about seven years ago when
he had a paralytic stroke from which he
never {ally recovered, and has been almost
helpless ever since. He and his estimable
wife resided on his farm about three miles
trom Spring Mills, on the Siuking creek
road, nutil two or three years since, when
they made their home with their son, W.
M. Grove, at whose residence the wife and
mother was discovered dead, having expir-
ed while occupying a ohair.
It was always Mr. Grove’s oustom, pre-
vions to his affliction, so walk to town dai-
ly —preferring the exercise to driving- to
ohtain his mail, greet bie friends and to
discuss the general topics of the day. Mr.
Grove was well informed, a very pleasant
and fluent speaker, aud an able debater on
almost any subject, but with religion and
politios he excelled. In his earlier years
he was an active and influential Democrat,
wielding for year+ a political influence and
power never attained in that village by
any ove hefore nor since. He was a very
successful farmer, and as a resalt of his ef-
forts, leaves an estate of considerable value,
and while giving his farms and osher inter-
ests a general supervision, he always had
Sime to support, and advocate anv meas
uge, enterpriee or operation advantageous
to'Spring Mills. Liberal and generous to
a degree, his purse was ever opeu to the
distressed and uaolortunate, and the de-
serving never appealed to him in vain. He
would share the last orust, part with his
last coin to banish poverty, toil and care.
to make cheerfal a sad aud desolate home.
There was no ostentation in his charities
and aots of henevolence, for his left band
never knew what his right band did, and
now over his gunies and lonely grave, those
whom he aided and befriended will shed
many a silent tear.
By his will Mr. Grove leaves his entire
estate to his four childien, naming them
as executors. +

Pittsburg Millionaire in Court With
Sensational Letters.
HIS PETITION ALREADY FILED
Philadelphia, Oct. 8.—Claiming that
they have letters which passed be-
tween Thomas Madine, coachman,
and Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje, which
will result in a complete reversal of
affairs, counsel for August Hartje, the
wealthy Pittsburg paper manufac-
turer, appeared before the superior
court here to argue on a petition for
reopening the sensational suit for di-
vorce which he brought against his
wife. Argument will be heard on
Monday.
In the petition presented to the
court for Mr. Hartje, he recites that
since the hearing in the case he se
cured letters written by Thomas Ma-
dine, the coachman, while he was in
Ireland, to Mrs. Hartje, while she was
at the Hotel Victoria, in London, and
others which she wrote to the coach-
man from there. He relates that he
is in a position to prove that Mrs.
Hartje arranged with the employes of
the hotel to have the letters delivered
privately to her, and that she sup-
plied him with envelopes addressed to
herself. He further avers that Mrs.
Hartje arranged with a hairdresser,
Ambroise, of 274 Rue St. Honore,
Paris, to mail letters through him to
Madine, and that she there received
letters from the coachman and sent
money to him through the same ave-
nue. He relates that the receipt of
the letter by Madine were established
through Madine’'s mother, at Down
Patrick, Ireland, and by test
mony of the coachman’s sister. The
petitioner sets forth that the letters
were in the possession of Madine's
mother until July of this year, when
he wrote for them, and that on August
§ they were delivered by Madine to a
representative of Mr. Hartje, in To-
ronto, Canada.
Other letters, which the petitioner
says he has found since the case were
written, he alleges by Helen Scott
and Ida Scott to Howard A. Lappe, of
Pittsburg, in which the writers indi-
cate that, unless their parents paid
them a certain sum of money each
month they would “turn in” for the
petitioner. These letters were writ-
ten, according to the petition, on April
27, and April 29, 1907.
The bundles of letters which will
be presented to the court for inspec-
tion, the petition says, “speak for
themselves as to the relations exist.
ing between Madine and Mrs. Hartje.
Mrs. Hartje Not Worrying.
Pittsburg, Oct. 8.—Very little of a
definite nature is known here regevd-
ing the sensational developments in
the Hartje divorce case, which are al-
leged by the woman's husband, Au-
gustus Hartje. The allegations con-
tained in the petition, asking that the
divorce case be reopened for the pre
sentation of important and sensa-
tional new evidence against Mrs.
Hartje, has revived interest in the liti-
gation here to a great extent. Mrs.
Mary Scott Hartje, who is visiting at
Ligonier Springs, Pa. in a telephonic
conversation with this city, refused to
discuss the new phases of the case as
alleged by her husband. “I am well
and happy, and not worrying a parti-
cle. Yes, 1 have seen the papers. You
must ask my attorneys for any in
formation.”
