Agnew, of Philadelphia, und Alex. Craig,
of Oil place.
MKKTt'll OI HIS CAKKKH.
The Hhech family were of that hardy im
migration from the Palntlnate -which
scattered ever Eastern Pennsylvania and
has contributed se much td the welfare of
the commonwealth. Settling in German
town, the father of Cel. Shech was Iwrn
there and romeveil te Harrisburg In 1702.
Ills son, Samuel Shech, was born in that
city May 28, 1707. He was educated in the
erdluary schools of that day, nml when u
lad of only tlftecn was earning money by
recording patents In the oftice of Jehn
Cochran, who in 1812 was socretary of the
land ofllrennd recorder of surveys in the
olllce of Surveyor General Andrew Perter,
under thn administration of Gov. Snyder.
With the earnings of his early Industry
young Slioch educated himself In the
classics and ether branches of the higher
learning at Magraw's old academy, at Not
tingham, Sid. Vigorous of body and
abounding in high spirits, he depended
mere en qulekness of perception and a ro re ro
tentlve memory than piofeund study for
his acquirements. It was no uncommon
thing for him te master the lessens of the
day us he took his Journey en horseback
from his bearding house te the academy, a
trip of two miles.
When the new of the burning of the
capltel at Washington reached Harrisburg,
public exeitcinent rose tehlgh water mark.
Francis R. Skunk, who was then a land
olllce clerk, gathered together a drum, life
and Hag, and marched his reriultlng band
through the streets. Fvoryhedy seemed
te fall in, and among the four companies
which marched out of Harrisburg ene had
enrolled In Its inembershfp Slioch and
Shenk. Of all its long roll Cel. Slioch Is the
last survivor. The Harrisburg troops
served three months, and Privute Slioch
fought in the artillery. He get UW acres or
public land, and with great prlde he regu
larly drew $21 quarteily, In reward of the
patriotism he exhlhlted w hen u lad of 17.
On Slay 1st, 1817, Sir. Shecli entered the
law office of Ames Kllumker, father of Na
thaniel Fltmakcr, esq., of Lancaster, as a
law studeut and was admitted te the Har
risburg bar about Starch 1K20. He had a
successful and lucrative practice.; engaged
in profitable laud speculations and ether
business enterprises with varying pinfits;
was admitted te the supreme court at Lan
caster, and his name figures in thu icpeits
of sixty years age.
TheSheclisbad bceu anti-Federalists, but
for admiration or Jehn Fester, who wus
brigaJlcr-general or the Harrisburg com
panies, went ever te his elitical camp.
Sir. Slioch early acquired uud strengthened
in.hls opposition te Fieo Slaseury, rollew
iifg the lead or Thaddeus Stevens in his
crusade against that venerable Institution.
As early as 1823 he wrote a pamphlet urg
ing the auti-Slavenic political issue ; and
he w us quite active In the ell'ert te Impeach
Judge Franks, of the Lebanon-Dauphin
district, In 18-,, which the antl-SIaseus al
ways claimed failed by reason of the
Masonic votes rallying te Franks.
Frem his youth up Cel. Slioch has been
an easy w rlter of remarkably vigorous
prose and graceful jieetleal composition.
He was a leading contributor te Thee.
Fcnn's paper and ether publications of his
party at the state capital ; ami supplied
innumerable resolutions, toasts, arguments
nml speeches te the great demands or the
day. He became ubserbed in politics, and
in lKir became candidate or his party rer
clerk of the Pennsylvania Heuse of Rep
resentatives. In his contest he was pitted
against Frauds It. Shuuk, who held the
place rer 17 years, but the Whig and ontl entl ontl
Slusenie combination was cemplete and
Shuuk was beaten.
When the occasion came for the organiza
tion or the reform contention or 117, te re
vise the constitution or the state, again
Slioch and Shunk were pitted against each
ether for the clerkship or that body. There
wab a close division of parties, and Shech
was chosen secretary by the votes or 07
Whigs and unli-SIasens te 60 Democrats for
Shuuk.
Afier the convention adjourned, Sir.
Slioch found that his abandoned law prac
tice and forsaken clientage had become de
moralized. He went te Lancaster te con
sult about his futuiewith the late F.maii
ud C. Itelgart and the late Hen. II. G.
Leng, whose friendship he hail made when
they u ere members el the coin entlen. The
caslilcr of the Columbia Hank and ltrhlge
company had Just resigned his position,
and Sir. Itelgart advised him te proceed
te Columbia and apply for the posi
tion. Dr. It. F. Cochran, another mem

place and took u warm interest in
his behair. He was upMinted cashier
in Inland remained with the institution,
as cashier and president, until June 11,
ISM. After thirty-nine years us cashier he
became president In December, 1S7S.
The history of the bauk and of hUeitlzeu-
ship fe-i Columbia are fresh in the minds of
inesl of his fellow citizens. When Sir.
Shech became Its cashier there were
only two banks in Lancaster and one In
Columbia. At the time lie took held of its
direction the bank w us in a bad w ay, In 1&32
the Heed had swept aw ay its bridge ; it cost
8157,300 te rebuild it, uud all dividends en
its stock being thus cut oil' It depreciated
from 8100 te 8-J5. Confidence being restored
it picked up and in ltM2 dividends were
resumed.

SPKCIMKN OF PENSION POLICY.
A Warrior Wounded Uy n Demijohn and
Anet liygrffVlniKMl n Play.
Assistant Secretary llussey rendered a'
decision in the pension claim or William
Powell, late of company D, 47th regiment,
Pennsylvania Volunteers. The claimant In
his application for a pension alleges that en
January U,18tS0,w hile In Camp Cadwuladcr,
at Philadelphia, whlle waiting te be mus
tered out and paid he was walking in the
barracks w hen a corporal of his cempanv
threw at him a llvo-g.iHeu demijohn which
struck him en the left leg under the knee,
indicting a severe wound from which he
has never recovered. The claim was orig
inally rejected en the grounds that the in
jury was received alter the applicant's dis
charge from the service, and that if in the
service the injury had no connection with
his military duty and hence was net pen pen
seonable. Frem this latter view the assist
ant secretary dissents and directs that If
upon ferther examination It Is found that
the claimant's actual separation fiem the
service did net iss-ur until utter he in
curred the disability, though his discharge
jwpers were dated some two weeks previ
ous thereto, that he le given a pension.

IiANCASTER, PA., FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1889.
prtOHAHLY A HUSK.
A
Yeung Man Supposed te Hare
Drewaed Himself.
.The Berks county coroner has hed a force
engaged all Thursday afternoon In dredg
ing the Schuylkill river and canal at Head
ing, for the body of a supposed suicide.
The search was caused by the discovery of
a coat, shoes, hat arid bottle of laudanum
en the river bank Thursday morning, with
several letters Indicating that one O. 8.
Shearer had committed suicide. Several
names were mentioned In the letters, but
the coroner has w Ithheld them until the
case has been fully Investigated,
In ene of the pockets of the coat was
found a Philadelphia A Reading railroad
ticket, purchased Slay 11, for one pnssage
betwecu Slaikayuuk and Bridgeport, also a
"teacher's ticket." The laudanum bottle
bore the laliel of "Beale A Ijunbert, drug
gists, Philadelphia." The articles found
arc supposed te have'belenged te Oscar H.
Shearer, who came te Reading from Lan
caster county, and .who was a clerklna
Philadelphia store afle time.
He was married at Mahhclm a short time
age, te a young woman named Ida Leeds.
She was olteut 30 years of age. His age is
given at 2S, ami he Is described as of
slender build, pale complexion and lame.
In one of the letters Shearer intimates that
his wife has been unfaithful te him, and
that his home has been broken up. It has
Iksjii ascertained that when Shearer left
Slanhelm with his bride he proceeded te
Philadelphia, where he was a clerk in a
store. In a long letter addressed te his
mother Shearer speaks or having been
duped badly in his marriage, and that he
Wprempted by a superior power te lieceme
his own destroyer filly divorces would
net heal the wound w hlch he has sustained,
and that the last heard or his wife alie was
at the Washington heuse, PIkcuIxvIIIe."
The letter centinues: '
" I Irnve tried every conceivable way te
clear my mind from the shock, but that
black, demoniac spirit annoyed me till life
and its Internst have entirely faded away
nrem me, ana rather than be the
that cultivates endless sin and disgrace
I preferred death u thousand times, and
tho'enly way that gives me relief is te snap
the tle that binds me te earth and go te that
blessed abode where they neither marry
nor are given in marriage, where life shall
coma out of death and Jey out of sorrow,
us Ged commanded. A terrible medita
tion when heart is linked te heart and
afterwards turned Inte u plaything with
every touiptatlen woven around the
heart. "
The writing is that of an educated man.
Thorewasno trace of nervousness about
the letters, the wtltcr having ovidently
geno coolly ubeur his pretentiens for
Jumping into eternity. Footprints in the
sand en the tow path of the canal were
found, which had the uppoarance of having
been made by a man iu his bare feet.
Superintendent Smith was asked by the
coroner for permission te draw off the canal,
but replied that the company was net in
the habit of doing that, although he did net
say they would rofuse In case it was
thought necessary.
After unsuccessfully searching unlit
nearly midnight for the Ixxly of Shearer,
the coroner's party discontinued operations
until Friday morning, when the Schuylkill
canal will be drawn plT-tfluperiutcndeiit
Smith finally consented that this should
lie done.
Ida Leeds, the woman te whom Shearer
was recently married, comes from Slan
helm, where her mother new lives, but she
Is as well knew u iu Luncaster us there.
She lived here for considerable tlme within
the past three years and worked Iu cigar
factorles most or the time. She ami lier
husband lived together for a tlme ever a
grecery ster at 2.'i0 North Eleventh street,
Philadelphia, but they led anything but
a happy llfe. The husband applied for a
dlvoree, but his wife's lawyer steppod pro
ceedings by show Ing that he had no case,
iiihearer, it Is said, had been for some time
separated from his wife, and the latter, a
few months age, took a situation at the
Washington hotel, riuenlxvllle, as cook.
Her husband found out her address and
called upon her.
It Is net known what passisl between
them, but Sirs. Shearer is credited with
saying that Oscar wanted her loge back
and II ve with him, and shu uusw ored that
If he could provide a proper home she
might consider thu matter. Shearer, it is
alleged, left the hotel In high dudgeon, ut
tering saviige threats, and that was the last
seen or heard or him tending the dis
covery or Thursday.
It Is belleved by many that Shearer has
net taken his llfe but Is merely trying te
frighten his w Ife.
