David Watkase died suddenly at the residence of J. M. Dewitt, on West Third street, Tuesday even ing. Up to a few days previous he had been working on the Klectric Railway, but was partially over come by the intense heat, and was compelled to quit work. He par took of a light supper Tuesday evening, and a little after went out to the pump to get a drink, when he was seized with a fit of cough ing. During the paroxysm a blood vessel was ruptured, and before a physican' could be summoned, he died. It is not known whether he had any relatives in this section or not. The body was taken in charge by undertaker G. G. Baker, and is still at his establishment. Mr. Baker has given notice that unless the body is called for by friends or relatives, on or before' Saturday, he will be obliged, according to law, to ship it to Philadelphia. Mr. Watkase had resided in Bloomsburg for nearly thirty years. He is known to have been married, but they parted. He frequently spoke of having children in Phila delphia and Lancaster, but efforts to locate them have been futile.

Mrs. Mary Watkins, a domestic in the employ of Mrs. Creveling, was smorn She, too, had seen the woman Saturday evening. Had also noticed a man. lie was heavy set and dressed in black. The description tallied with that of Thomas. Mrs. Seltzer was re-called, as was also I). P. Butler. Their testimony was only a reiteration of what they had already given. Dr. J. V. Burner was last person examined. lie had made a thorough examination of the body and had ar rived at the conclusion that death had been caused by pulmonary heart trou ble, superinduced or brought on by over-exertion. The jury thereupon rendered a verdict in accordance with the physi cian's finding. When discovered, the body was ly ing on the back. The clothing had not been disarranged in any way, only the collar had been torn open, evi dently to afford freer breathing. The personal effects, which were at first supposed to have been stolen, such as ten dollars in money, some papers and a gold watch, have been found at home, with the exception ot the watch. Just where the time piece has got to is a mystery. Mr. Thomas is survived by a wife. He was about thirty-five years ot age. He moved to Bloomsburg from Kings ton about a year ago. His parents, who reside in Rochester, N. Y., were appnsed by telegram of their sons untimely death, and the remains were shipped to that place for burial Tuesday morning. DEATH OVilROAME SILAS CONNER WHILE BATHING. Sunday evening Silas Conner, a well known resident of Orangeville, sup plied himself with towels and soap and left the home of his brother, J. W. Conner, ostensibly to take a bath. Early Monday morning his lifeless body was found partially immersed in waier. From the position in which the body lay it was evident that no struggle had preceded de3th, and the general opinion is that when he entered the water he was stricken with a severe attack of heart failure. He fell over face downward and was found in that position. A physician made an examination of the body shortly afer it was recovered from the water, which revealed the lungs en tirely free from water, a condition which is impossible when a person is drowned. The discovery of the body was made by the deceased's brother, J. W. Conner. When he got up in the morning he noticed the bedroom door open, and that the bed had not been occupied during the night. Remem bering that he had left the house the night before to take a bath he hurried to the creek and found him as above stated. To the residents ot the village, who had noticed him about, the re port came with the suddenness of a shock. Mr. Conner was born in Briarcreek township, this county, in 1837. A few years later the family moved to Orangeville where ne resided ever since. Since the death of his mother, which occurred several years ago he has resided with his brothers and sister, lie was a careful business man and honorable in all his dealing. The surviving members of the family are a sister, Mrs. Alpheus Dewitt, and three brothers. Charles, T. W. and H. C. Conner. The funeral took place on Tuesday.

VTOIAN FREEDOM 'TILL COUET. Continued from 1st Tagc the audience showed. The strongest point scored was gaining the admis sion Irom the witness mat sne Knew of Evans' intention to commit the crime; knew just how he was going to do it, and vet did not say a word to her husband. The witness weakened considera bly under the cross-examiner's well directed blows, and several times was confused by reason of the lawyer's vigorous attack. At the conclusion of the examina tion the Court stated that sufficient evidence had been shown, and that the defendant would be held to await the action of the grand jury. He said that bail, in the sum of $2,000, would be asked. To this the attorneys for the Com monwealth objected. District Attor ney riarman stated that the case would be tried as one of first degree murder and contended that Dail was not admissable. The objection was overruled, however, and the order was allowed to stand. The defendant displayed a great deal of pleasure on being released, and broke into smiles as he grasped the hands of friends who crowded about him. His bondsmen are Eri Ikeler, V. P. Ikeler, H. D. Keller, C. W. Trump and C. C. Yetter. Thli signature Is on every box of the genuine Laxative Brorao-Quinine Ttieu the laaedy tut eve MM la mm Bridge Lettings.
