"BLOOMSBURO, PA.
THUKSl'AY, SEPTEMBER 3. 1903.
BLED TO DEATH.
Frank Gallagher of Centralla
Mortally Injured.
Died at the Miners Hospital.
From Monday's Mt. Carmel Item
we take the followintr, account of
traeedv which occurred at Ashland
Saturday night:
"His left leg shattered bv a charge
from a heavily-loaded gun Frank Gal
lagher of Ccntralia, aged o years
died from loss of blood at the Miners'
hospital yesterday morning at nine
o'clock. He had two companions
when sho. fin! they took him to the
hospital in a carriage, driving away
without disclosing their identity. I
is said thai tl.e three were out collect
ing pigeons for a big match to be
held in Centralia and that while tam
pering with a pigeon coop in the west
end of Ashland an electric alatm went
off and the proprietor, who had suffer
ed before, fired a charge at the in
truders. The truth will hardly be
known as the pigeon owner jr
question denies the story and Gal
lagher iiel without makirg any state
ment. Gallagher had worked until eig-ht
o'clock on Saturday night and after
returning home two young men waited
on him, asking him to go along to a
ricnic supposed to be at Girardville.
Gallagher went with them and the
"picnic' developed into a tragedy.
The body of the dead boy is now at
the home of a relative in Centralia
and interment will likely be made to
morrow. Gallagher was the chief
support of hib parents, the father be
ing unuble ;o work.
The two yung men who were with
Gallagher at.- said to be under police
surveilanre and their identity may
soon be learned. The following inci
dent may tl.row some light on the af
fair. Two young men of Centralia
engaged a horse and carriage from W.
W. Robertson, the local liveryman, by
phone on Saturday afternoon. The
horse was to be returned by midnight
on Saturday. Early yesterday morn
ing James Davis of Centralia telephon
ed to Robertson concerning a roan
horse found outside his stable about
four o'clock in the morning. Mr.
Robertson at once sent a hostler after
' the missing horse but on the way met
two young men driving it home.
When they reached the stable they
accounted for the late return of the
horse and the bloody state of the lap
robe by saying that a friend had Deen
cut in a fight and had been taken to
the hospital. They disclaimed being
the ones who hired the horse and left
it to be inferred that Mr. Davis had
sent them home with the animal. As
no case of a man having been cut in
a fight is recorded at the hospital the
story may bear investigation."
BOSS RECITAL-
Mrs. Ella Fox Gilbert will give
a song recital iu the Parish House
011 fcriday evening at 8:15 o'clock.
She will te assisted by Mrs. Maud
Runyon Colley and Mrs. Marion
Harter Miller. A delightful pro
gram has been arranged, and this
concert will be a rare treat to all
who love good music. Mrs Gil
bert's rich contralto voice seems to
be getting better if possible and she
has admirers enough to fill every
seat. Mrs. Colley will fill the role
of pianist, and that insures for Mrs.
Gilbert and Mrs. Miller an accom
panist of musical skill and rare
judgment, for it requires good
judgment to be a good accompanist.
Mrs. Miller's appearance will add
much to the pleasure f the occa
sion. She is a master of the violin,
and plays exquisitely.
There are no tickets on sale, but
the admission fee of 25 cents will
be taken at tae door. Aside from
the pleasure to be derived, the
object is ono that will appeal to
everybody who is interested in the
Public library, s.s a portion of
the proceeds will be given to that
institution.
The piano to be used is a cabinet
grand Matlmshek, from the ware
rooms of J. Saltzer who has kindly
offered to loan it for the occasion.
The talent of the participants,
and the very low price of admission
should fill every seat in the house.

the work at the bridge.
To this application the County
Cnnimissionjf s solicitor. T. Boyd
WnViinn vnrorouslv obiected. He
rinimpd tlint the move was entirely
out of order, and not in accordance
with the rules of the court. "I here
have been no grounds laid for the
application until to-day," said Mr.
Robison, "and we are not prepared
to resist the application." Con
tinuing he said. "Let the Court set
n time. for a hearitur iu the matter
and vre will produce evidence to

nieett'iem, we will show that they
have no light on the premises, and
that they are trespassers. ;ur

marts and nreseuted several
authorities in fortification of hi

the Court replied, Mr. Robison,
are you surprised at anything that
has been done Here to-aayr 1
am not surprised", returned -Mr,
Rnhkrm "oulv I fail to see how

before we have been given an op
portunity to be heard". The
Court then took the papers and on
Tuesday filed the following opinion
granting the injunction.
OPINION OK iTHK COURT.
Thp fiimrerue Court have said.
among other things iu reference to
tlip crrade crossine mentioned in
these proceedings: ' '.Under the con
reded facts the crossine involved in
this controversy . is a new grade
crossing, and as such is prohibited
bv the act of iqoi."
"The Court of Common Pleas is
authorized under section four to
permit a grade crossings under
certain conditions. But this iuris
Hirtinn must be exercised in the
mode pointed out by the Act and is
exclusive. There is no substitute
for it. either in manner or form.
The discretion
of the Common Pleas under the
statute can only be exercised in a
direct nroceedinir for that purpose."
"Iu the abseuce of evidence, the
answer must be taken for true

"In equity the answer of the de
fp.11d.1nt if resnonsive to the bill, is
conclusive, unless overcome by the
testimony of two creditable wit
nesses, or the testimony et one
witness, and such corroborative
facts or circumstances, as are equa

.Under these authorities, the ex

The answers filed are claimed by
th defendants to be fully respon

and to deny every equity -therein

An inspection of the answers of
the County Commissioners, ana

Work on the bridge will now
cease until the final determination
of the case. After hearing, the
court may dissolve the injunction,
when work will be resumed, or it
may make the injunction perpetual
which will mean that the bridge
cannot be erected iu such a way
that a grade crossing is necessary
over the tracks of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. The outcome is awaited
with much interest by the public.

The Cattle Cases-
State Veterinarian Will Make Investigation at
Bellefonto.
The Department of Agriculture has
received no official notification of the
disease thct has broken out among
herd of cattle near Bellefonte. The
matter, however, will undoubtedly be
investigated by State Veterinarian
Leonard Pearson and the cause of the
disease reported to Secretary Critch
field.
From the description of the disease
Assistant Secretary Martin gives it as
his opinion that the cattle had been
feeding upon come poisonous wee;!,
Tl.e only way to ascertain the actual
cause was an analysis of the stomach
of the affected stock.
A report is expected from Dr
Pearson within a few days.

curred, Mrs. Hulshizer, William ;
W'nnlch, a conductor on the trailer, ;
Ray H-ffman, the conductor of the i
car, w. ll. uooK, Lemuel JUigar, ;
Con Cronin, Frank Hummel, and
Harry Hartman, passengers on the
car, all ot whieli served to ctispei
the suicide belief, the following
verdict was rendered.
"We find that Herman Walter
met his death accidentally by being
run over by a car on the Columbia
& Montour Electric Railway in
Centre township. August 28, 1903,
about 6:30 p. in ; that conductor
Hoffman and tnotorman Rain bo are
exonerated. The jury elso recom
mends that the cars should be
equipped with fenders or some
safety device whereby accidents ot
this kind may be averted.
Beside the money above referred
to there was also found two bank
books. One showed a credit of
S52S.11 in the North West Savings
Hind of Philadelphia and the other
a credit of $3202. 10 iu the Philadel
phia Savings Fund.
The initial move to locate re
latives o: friends of the dead man
was made by.Coroner Sharpless on
Saturday. He received word
from Philadelphia stating that other
than a sister-in-law or step sister
residing in Germany, Walters has
no known living relatives.
II. H. Roger, of Rcbersburg ar
rived at Catawissa, Monday even
ing. He has known Walters for
upwards of twenty years. When
not on the road .selling jewelry,
Walters made his home with him,
and his personal property is still
there. He had never heard Walters
speak of having any lelatives.
It was Mr. Rogers' intention to
take the body back to Rebersburg,
but finding all the arrargements
for the funeral had been made he
decided to bury the body here.
The funeral service, simple, but
beautiful and impressive, were held
in the Old Presbyterian church,
Tuesday afternoon. There were
no mourners and but few attendants
but this did not detract from the
solemnity of the occasion. Dr.
Hemingway's words, as he referred
to the great uncertainty of life,
created a marked impression on his
hearers. The deceased was known
to have been a christian man. He
bore himself meekly and the hearts
of men were drawn to him.
rrom tne place wnere ue was
known come only words of kindness
and expressions of sorrow at his
sudden and tragic end. Iu closing
Dr. Hemingway said that he per
haps is happier where he now is
tie nas gone wnere tnere are no
accidents, no calamities, no stran
gers, where he who reigns is God
Rev. J. E. Byers of the Lutheran
Church followed with a few ap
propriate remarks. A quartette
composed ot Mrs. II. C. Pegg, Mrs
Harry Barton, A. N. Yost and
Frank Eyer rendered two selections
after which the remains were borne
from the church to New Rosemont
Cemetery, where they were laid to
rest in a slate walled grave. The
casket was of solid oak, trimmed
with gold, and resting upon it was
a beautiful floral design. The pall
bearers were Daniel Wanich, W,
D. Moyer, Harry Doak and Danie
Dieterich.
A JOLLY CROWD.
One of the jlliest lot of campers
that ever graced Roanugcreek with
their presence are now sojourning
at that delightful spot. Composing
the party are Dr. J. L. Hoffman of

Took Advantage of Their Absence-
During the absence of a party of
young people who were occupying
the Ammeruian homestead a few
miles below Catawissa. Saturday
evening burglars broke into the
house and mads away with nearly
all the young peoples' clothing and
personal effects. The robbers "made
a clean sweep and several of the
party were obliged to borrow duds
in which to get home. The camp
ers were Misses Helen Ford, May
Ammerman, Amy Northup, Ralph
Ammerman and Kdward Ford, of
Scranton, and Miss Polly Hinds, of
Jersey City.
The robbers had things all their
own way as the entire party had
gone to attend the Saturday even
ing dance at Catawissa. Their sur
prise and indignation upon reach
ing the house after the dance to
find their clothing and everything
stolen, can be better imagined than
described. Beside the clothing
there were taken $25 in cash, the
two gold watches, a gun metal
watch, two gold lockets and chains
several gold pens and some other
pieces of jewelry. There is no
clue to the robbery.
