.Horace Lutz died of consumption
in Denver, Colorado, on Saturday
in the fifty-fifth year of his age. He
was a native of Bloomsburg and will
no doubt be remembered by many
of our readers. He was a son of K.
P. Lutz, who for n;any years con
ducted a drug store in what is now
Moyer Bros', building below the
Post office. Horace was also a
druggist, and had been engaged in
that business in Wilkes-barre for
many years. Many ot nis relatives

the Opera House on Tuesday even
ine to listen to Hon. Henry B.
Clifford, whose subject was "Cop
per fortunes, or tue manner in
which the Bonanxa Kings made
their fortunes." The object of the
address was to interest people in
the Queen of Arizona Copper Co
and it was entertaining aud instruc
tive. Diagrams and pictures were
thrown upon a screen by a stereop-
ticon showing different mines, their
productions, values, etc. Mr
Clifford is entirely conversant with
his subject and talks in a pleasing
manner. He referred several times
to the Green Consolidated Copper
Co. as one of the great companies
and he also gave some good advice
by telling the holders of any min
ing stocks not to get frightened
every tune tnere is a fluctuation in
the market.
This Man is a Wonder.

Will Repeat the Experiment.
William W. Kretz, president of the
Reading Society of Occult Science,
who. was buried alive for twenty-four
hours while in a hypnotic state, is con
swering a plan to repeat his experi
ment, but expects, next time, to re
mam unciergrouna lor tnirty-six or
forty-eight hours.
Persons who witnessed his recent
performance on Mt. 'Penru think he
can accomplish the undertaking.
Kretz refuses to reveal his new
plans, except to say that, as before,
ne will De hypnotized, placed in a
burial case, and covered with six feet
of earth.
As the authorities forbade the ex
periment within the city limits on the
former occasion, Kretz is silent about
the place where the second burial will
take place. There will be reliable
witnesses, however, to testify to the
genuineness of the feat.

Well Known Horseman-
William M. Hughe?, of Hazleton,
has been in failing health for the
past year. He has been a sufferer
from neuralgia for a long time. Some
ten vears ago he submitted to an
operation and for a time was much
relieved, but of late the disease has
again taken hold, causing him much
trouble and continued pain. In 1874
he was one of the promoters of the
Hazleton Race Track Association, in
which he took much interest and
over which track many races took
place. Mr. Hughes was the owner of
the famous pacing mare Little Mary
that won nearly all the races she took
part in in this and other cities. Sh
was a sorrel mare of the kindest (lis
position and a favorite among the
horsemen from 187 to 1876. He
sold her, much against his inclination
but the big price was the reason
After he parted with her she became
famous on some of the Grand Circuit
race tracks. Wilkes Darre Record.
Aged Resident Galled From Earth-
Centre township is mourning th
less ot a good citizen 111 the person
of David Z. Remaly, whose death
occurred at his home near Foundry
ville, Sunday afternoon. He had re
sided in that township tor many
years and died enjoying the respect
and esteem of all who knew him
The cause of his death was a com
plication of diseases, in connection
with a breaking down of the system
superinduced in a measure, no doubt
by advanced age, he being about 78
years old. He was a farmer and fol
lowed that occupation all his life.
The surviving family consists of
wife, two daughters and one son. Th
former is quite seriously ill, with littl
hopes of recovery. The funeral took
place Tuesday afternoon.
Looked Upon as a Formidable Aggregation
That the Normal School foot ball
team is regarded as a pretty strong
proposition is shown by the following
item which we take from the Mt.
Carmel Daily Aews.
"The opponents of the High School
team next Saturday will be the strong
Bloomsburg Normal School team
This team is not a team of boys who
are just learning the rudiments of th
game but rather, a team of men who
have one ot the best coaches m th
state, outside of the large college
elevens. They ran up 52 points
against Orangeville and played a
18-12 game with the strong Hazle
ton team. It will be a battle royal
and undoubtedly will be the hardest
game seen on the local grounds this
year."
