Patrolman Declares
His Wife Deserted Him
One divorce action listed for hear
ing at the session of court this week
could not be disposed of when it was
found that the man who was suing
his wife for separation resided in
Cumberland county and the Dauphin
county court had no jurisdiction. It
was in the action of John M., Jr.. vs.
Matilda Mettinger that these facts
were presented and the court did not
hear any further evidence.
Early this afternoon President
Judge George Kunkcl heard the case
brought by Patrolman Abraham L.
Heagy against his wife, Mrs. Helen
E. Heagy. He alleges she had de
serted him. Counsel for Mrs. Heagy
announced he had written to her
several times notifying her to ap
pear in court to-day as she had said
she intended to contest the proceed
ings, but he received no reply from
her.
Twelve of the sixty-six cases on the
list were continued this morning. In
Courtroom No. 2 Judge S. J. M. Me-
Carrell heard a short case hroucht
by, Mrs. Maggie A. Seibcrt against
Samuel S. Seibert, now serving a
sentence in the penitentiary on a
serious charge she said. The crim
inal court record against Seibert was
read into the case as evidence.

Four Survivors of "Last Man's
Association" Hold Meeting
Heading from left to right, upper row—George G. Myer, alderman of Coatesville; George C. Bruederly,
lAneaster (deceased); Harry C. Shenck, Lancaster. Lower row—Merman Neumyer, Harrisburg; John
Lhambers, Lancaster, and Frederick Wettig, Lancaster, (deceased). This photograph is a reproduction
of the six original members of the "Last Man's Association'! formed eight years ago.
It was a historic gathering of Civil
War veterans at the home of Her
man Xeumycr, 220 Peffer street,
when four survivors of the famous
Clemmenh Band, of Lancaster, which
responded to the lirst call with six
teen men. of whom but four are left.
This gathering disclosed the vital
fact that no more loyal Americans
exist to-day, than Germans of the
earlier generation.
Mr. Neumyer, leader of the band,
sat in his pleasant home to-day, his
eyes Hashing, voice trembling, as he
recalled the period of 1848 when
Prussia first disclosed the iron hand
by looting the province of Baden,
after her attack on Austria. He told
of the looting and declared: "The
Hohenzollerns ruined Germany; they
must be punished."
Coming to this country with many
others from Baden he was among
the very first to respond to Presi
dent Lincoln's call. At the gather
ing vivid history was narrated, of
Chickamauga, especially. "It was
there I saw General Grant for the
first time," related the ancient war
rior to-day. "He came down with.
Thomas, Bock of Chickamauga,
Sheridan and Sherman to recover
what Rosecrans had lost. He or
dered our band to play just before
the battle and when the shells fell
thick, he called to me, as the lead
er: 'Never mind 'em; Rebels can't
shoot straight.' " Mr. Neumyer had
to smile as he related what a tine
brand of whisky the General served
out. and with what relish he partook
himself. They stuck with the army
four whole years and marched with
Sherman to the sea. On playing at
a Lincoln demonstration at Lancas
ter the four veterans laughed heart
ily at the recollection of how anti-
Lincoln rooters rotten-egged the
band, and Leader Neumyer, himself,
was felled by a thrown stone. This
band was attached to the 79th Penn
sylvania Volunteers, under Colonel
Hambriglit, of Lancaster. The dele
gation from thit city came over in a
limousine on which the words, "First
Pennsylvania Volunteers 1861,"
were inscribed. Besides the local
members of the association two
members of Post 405, G. A. R.,
Martin Light and Nathan H. Ram
sey, past officers of the order, made
the trip.

Tourist Steamers to
Run Into the Frigid
Arctic, It Is Reported
Edmonton, Alberta.—Those wlio
in sweltering summer latitudes
dream of cooling themselves on an
Arctic ocean iceberg may be able to
realize their dream in the not dis
tant future.
Establishment of a line of tour
ist steamers between Fort Smith, on
Slave river, and Fort MePlierson,
near where the Mackenzie flows into
the Arctic sea, is planned by the
Canadian branch of Lampson &
Hubbard, of Boston and New York,
as an adjunct to their far north
trade in furs and fish.
The first of the steamers will be
built at once at Fort Smith. The
company has just shipped from Ed
monton seventeen carloads of lum
ber and machinery for the purpose.
The vessel will be 160 feet long,
with a beam of forty feet, and will
have sixty cabins. It will be a
stern-wheeler and have a speed of
sixteen miles an hour. It will be
launched this summer and will
make its initial voyage down Slave
river, across the Great Slave lake
and down the Mackenzie to Fort
MePherson.
When the line finally is in opera
tion, Edmonton will become the
center of this Arctic ocean tourist
travel. From here, the tourists will
travel to Fort McMurray by the Al
berta Groat Waterways railway,
which, it is believed, will be com
pleted this year. The transconti
nental line of the National railway
system is the feeder for this north
ern route.

$40,000 LOAN FOR 1
BATHING BEACH
Mayor Keister Proposed to
Have Voters Pass on &
Improvement
The long-delayed plan to build
municipal bathing beach took a
more definite form Saturday when
Mayor Keister said in an interview
that he will back a popular loan of
$40,000 to construct this much need
ed city improvement. He plans to put
the loan before the people at the fall
election.
"There has been a lot of 'stalling*
about this bathing beach," the Mayor
said in an Informal interview. Every
time we make up a city budget,
there is talk of including $5,000 for
a bathing beach. Anyone knows that
$5,000 isn't enough money. Wc need
$40,000 at least, and 1 propose to
push a plan to put a popular loan
to this amount before the people at
the pokls in the fall.
The new bathing beach is to be
built on the unit system, since plans
are that as the city expands, th<*
beach shall also be expanded.
