Sudden Death.
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.

mony to the fact that she had noticed
a woman in the vicinity of her home
Saturday evening, but did not pay any
particular attention to her.
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.

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
