■Officials of the
V\ \ * //J State Department
JM/ ) ot Mines declared
Hy to-day that unless
action was taken to
V T r J prevent elections of
mine inspectors
this Fall they
11 JHIIWVwWtoWF would be held in
JsPHIIMI a " of districts
% °' " 10 hard coal
except the
I*4 nlneteenth.which is
Schuylkill county. The view taken
here Is that the proceedings in Potts
vllle, which led to the Schuylkill court
declaring that a mine inspector is a
State officer and must be elected in
even numbered years, are purely local
and do not affect the whole region un
less upheld by the appellate courts.
As far as known here no steps have
been taken to appeal the case or to
stop the election of a mine inspector
this year in Dauphin or any of the
other counties of the anthracite field.
Interest in Jitneys. The Public
Service Commissioners intend to take
prompt steps to bring the Scranton
cases involving the right of Jitneys to
operate without certificates of public
convenience to a hearing and the three
operators in Lackawanna county,
against whom charges were filed, have
been requested to Inform the commis
sion gt an early day what they intend
to do. It is expected that they will
file answers, denying the contentions
of the railway company, which will
have the effect of bringing the whole
question before the commission for de
termination. Thousands of jitneys will
be affected by the decision when it
comes. That the traction interests of
the State are behind the action Is
presumed because C. L. S. Tlngley,
the president of the Scranton railways
company, is president of the Pennsyl
vania Street Railway Association.
Cases at Erie. State Health in
spectors are investigating outbreaks of
spinal meningitis which is prevalent
In Erie county. Efforts are being made
to find the source of the infection.

of approval throughout the State and
on Capitol Hill he appears to be very

'-TUESDAY EVENING,
J. M. MICH DIES
AT LUCKNOW HOME
Former Shop Foreman and Inven
tor; Made His Own False
Teeth; Band Leader
J. M. GARVERICH
Retired Shop Foreman and Inventor
Died To-day
J. Michael Garverlch, aged 73 years,
a retired Pennsylvania Railroad shop
fireman, and known as an inventive
genius, died at his home at Lucknow
at 7.30 o'clock this morning. Mr.
Garverlch had been in poor health
for some time.
The funeral arrangements will be
announced later.
Michael Garverlch as he was known
among the army of railroaders was
referred to by many as "the in
ventor." He was born in Rock
ville and began his services
with the Pennsylvania Railroad
cn October 17, 1864, as a car building
workman at the old novelty works
east of the present I T nion Station, later
going to the shops at Seventh and
Relly streets where he was made a
foreman and remaining in charge of a
large force of men at that shop until
the Lucknow shops were
to which place he was transferred!
and remained until his retirement,
March 31. 1912.
Made Many Inventions
As a genius ther is no pisputing
the claim made for Mr. Garverich.
His home is filled with inventions of
his own. and in the shops of the
Pennsylvania Railroad are many im
provements to machinery, and labor
saving devices which were invented
or suggested by Mr. Garverich. As a
cabinet builder Mr. Garverich was
prominent and many railroad offices
in Harrlsburg contain one or more
pieces of furniture made by Mr. Gar
verich.
Saves Money for Company
Mr. Garverich was the inventor of
a patent car door which is still used
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, and has saved the company
many dollars in preventing accidents.
The doors works on rollers and in
cludes a self-locking device. Tt was
built so as to prevent the door's ex
tending Out,over the tracks at any
time. or coming loose and falling out
on the tracks.
Mr. Garverich was also the Invent
er of several coupling devices which
the Pennsylvania Company adopted,
and which are still in use on certain
styles of cars. Car braces to protect
ears when overloaded, brake gears and
other attachments were remodeled by
Mr. Garverich and adopted by the
company.
Made Himself False Teeth
There was nothing this mechanic
could not do, even to making a set of
TAKES TO HOSPITAI.
Duncannon. Pa„ Sept. 7.—Mrs. Ada
Kent was taken to the Harrlsburg
Hospital on Saturday afternoon where
she underwent an operation for ap
pendicitis and is getting along very
well.
WOMAN'S BEAUTY NO SECRET
It all lies In the care she bestows
upon herself and in keeping at bay
those dread ills peculiar to her sex.
The flashing eye, the elastic step and
the clear complexion never accom
pany organic troubles. The dis
tressed expression, lassitude, head
aches and mental depression are only
the tell-tale symptoms. Women so
troubled should take Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, that sim
ple remedy made from roots and
herbs, and restore their health to a
normal condition. —Advertisement.
false teeth, and just as good as any
dentist could make. aelf-propelllng
rolling chairs were also a hobby with
Mr. Garverlch, but one of his greatest
achievements was a one-wheel bicycle,
which was completed, but owing to
an accident, was never put on the
market. The rider sat within a large
I wheel and with pedals propelled the
large wheel. While riding down Sixth
street one day on this new invention
some of the gearing broke and the
rider was unable to stop the "Uni
cycle" as he called it.
This veteran was also a musician,
excelling on'the cornet. He was lead
er of the old roundhouse band in its
palmest days, an organization that
passed out of existence twenty-five
years ago, but during its existence was
quite popular at railroad functions.
The famous cornetlst, the late William
PRris Chambers, directed the band
during its Infancy, and taught many
of the members how to play on the
several instruments. Professor Cham
bers, as he was known at that time,
■frequently accompanied the band on
its trips about the city.
Mr. Garverlch celebrated his 70th
birthday anniversary four days prior
to his retirement. When the whistles
blew March 31, 1912, Mr. Garverlch
was surrounded by his fellow work
men and given many presents. Since
his retirement he lived at his home
at Lucknow near the Harrlsburg
Country Club where he has been
spending his rest days in making var
ious articles of furniture and in com
pleting new inventions.

had overpowered three maids.
"I tried to shut the door," Mrs.

"I seized the barrel of the weapon

I tried to push the door shut. But
he hurled himself against the door
and,, as it flew open, raised a 'billy'
bringing it down on my head.
"I called for help, but the three ser

forced into the room with me. One of
the robbers asked where I had been
and I replied to my Lake Forest home.
"'Bring - all your diamond's?" he
asked.
" 'No, I left most of my jewels up
there.'
" 'l'll knock your teeth down your
throat if you don't tell me where the
stuff is,' he commanded."
While Mrs. Armour and ner maids
were held In a corner of the room un

moved, one of the robbers swept the
dresser of Jewels. Then all rooms were
searched. Completing their task, the
men ran down stairs and escaped
through a back door. Telephone wires

Although provided with an excellent

said this afternoon that he will with
draw his petition to contest the action

progress of the borough schools for
the terms of 1912-13, 1913-14 and
1914-15 is given along with a descrip
tion of the various courses of study.
While the heads of the departments
of the borough schools had a hand In
the compilation of the report, the bulk
of the work fell to Superintendent L.
E. McGinnes, the veteran head of the
Steelton school since their infancy.
And to him, perhaps more than any
other, is due the credit for the rapid
progress which the report shows the
schools have made.

teachers and pupils who may become
ill. These have been built in various
buildings. Various improvements and
changes to the other schools are
pointed out and described.

in the commercial and other depart
ments is described as is the

GO NO FARTHER
The Evidence Is At l'onr Door
Harrlaburg proof is what you want
and the statement of this highly re
spected resident will banish all doubt:
Mrs. Ella Anderson, 1316 Susque
hanna street, Harrlsburg, says; "I
' d kidney trouble and suffered from
dull pains In my back. It hurt me
even to do light housework and I
could straighten up only with tha
igreatest difficulty. The trouble wan
} very annoying. I used Doan's Kidney
Pills for a while and they took the
pains In my back away and put me on
my feet. Without a doubt there isn't
anything equal to them for backache
and other kidney disorders. What I
said in my former statement I will
gladly verify to anyone who inquires
personally. Doan's Kidney Pills aro
used in my family whenever It is nec
essary to take a kidney medicine."

simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
