Likoly to Bficomc Attorney tor llio New State
Railway Commission.
The State organization is plan
ning to obtain contiol of the State
Railroad commission, created bv
the recent legislature, through per
sonal efforts of Governor Stuart.
But the governor N said to lie wary,
and H is doubtful if he will even
consider the bosses when he makes
the appointments which will not
be until late in the tad, since the
act docs not go into effect until next
January.
The prospects arc that James
Scarlet, duel counsel Ur the capi
tol probers, will be invited by the
governor to become attorney for
the commission. Stuart has great
respect for the honesty, integrity
and ability of Scarlet, and it is said,
he has about made up bis mind to
ask him to take this place. lie be
lieves that this selection would at
once inspire public confidence in
the commission and show that it is
not controlled by the corporations
or politicians. Ilazkton Standard,
BOMBOY'S MARKET.
The changes at Frank Bomboy's
meat market, corner of Main ana
Jefferson streets, are completed,
and the room is now occupied.
There is nothing in this section that
compares with it. The ceiliug is
of stamped metal, the counter is of
tiling, with a heavy white marble
top, the refrigerator has tiling in
front, and the frame for the meat
hooks back of the counter is of oak.
It will compare with the best in
the cities.
Bomboy's market is well kept,
with a selection of meats that in
cludes everything that can be had
iu that line. The place is as neat
and clean as a pin, and is cooled by
electric fans. Mr. Bomboy's suc
cess in business is well deserved, as
he has always tried to meet the
wants of the public. His son Paul
is in charge, and customers always
receive courteous treatment. Bom
boy's market is a credit to the town.

CLEAN SWEEP SALE.
Hartmau's Clean Sweep Sale is
now at high tide, and the crowds
that are visiting the store daily are
evidence of the fact that these sales
are very popular. A great variety
of goods is offered at exceedingly
low prices. It is not a stock of
cheap stuff put in specially for this
occasion, but a clean up of genuine
regular stock from the shelves
The sale is under the direction of
Mr. Wood of Philadelphia, an ex
pert in this line, who has had charge
of similar semi-annual sales at
Hartmau's for several years past.
There are some big opportunities
in this clean sweep sale. Don't
miss them.
Prof. Angelo Heilprin, the in
trepid little man who explored
Mont Pelee during its activity a
few years ago, and who has had a
world wide reputation as a scientist,
died Wednesday morning in New
York. It was he more than any
other man who influenced Congress
to adopt the Panama route for the
Isthmian canal in preference to the
Nicaraguan. He was an athority
on volcanic activity. A great many
will remember the interesting lec
ture he gave at the Normal School
two years ago, which was entertain
ing and instructive.

A DANVILLE TRAGEDY.
Last Thursday morning a young
woman named Agnes H. Garger
was killed by falling frotr. the au
tomobile of Fred Owen, of Dan
ville, while coming from the Oak
Tree Inn, at about 1:30 o'clock in
the morning. She was a member
of a carnival company that was
showing in Danville, and went out
with Owen after the performance.
Another young woman of the com
pany went to the same place with
Harry Cromwell in the latter's car.
Owen stated before the coroner's
jury that after coming around a
sharp curve 011 a hill he missed the
girl. Stopping his car he went
back a little way, and found her
unconscious, having fallen on her
head on a stone, and her skull was
crushed. He brought her to Dan
ville, but she was dead before he
reached there.
All efforts to find anv relatives in
this country have failed. The girl
was an Austrian, and that is all
that could be learned. Her trunk
was traced to a warehouse in New
York, but the latter people refuse
to give it up or to open it until an
administrator has been appointed.
Something may be found in it that
will give a clue to her home and
family. She joined the carnival
troupe at Mahanoy City a couple
of weeks before, through a New
York Agency.
The remains were buried in Dan
ville at Mr. Owen's expense.'
