WERT ' C«atinac<! From Ktrat business growth of the city and its suburban towns during the year. A HEAVY DEATH ROLL All records of a year's events in a community must contain the names of many citizens cut down by death. In {very month of 1014, honored and rep resentative men and women of Harris fcurg and its contiguous territory join ed the silent host. Amongst the men I once potential in the affairs of Harris burg and Dauphin county whose deaths arc here recorded, appear sucli well known names as. Ex-Governor Beaver, .1 udge Nathaniel Ewing, the Rev. Jesse Bowman Voung, the Rev. .'oel Schwartz, John V, Boyd. Lyman J. (riVbert, Prof. Shimmell. the Rev. Thom as T. Everett. Dr. Paul Harunan. Dr. John W. Moffitt. Dr. Albert F. Brandt, : Dr. AJvin 1. Mi Her. Ex-Sheriff William Sheesly. Joshua W. Jones, the An drew J. Dull. John S. Lvneh, John I'. }Mtvh<v. Albert R. Sharp, Captain John C. Harvey, Maurice C. Eby, John Froehlieh. Darwin G. Fenno, Josiaj P.' •Ryan, Harris C. Pahnestock, Harry M. t Holstein, tieorge V. Cori. John G. Wil lis, Abraham Boak. Samuel Poor man, Geo. W. Barnes. Jeremiah K. Greena wait, George M. Groff, and son, Edward 1* Groff. .lere B. Rex. Dr. Thomas G. Fox and J. Paul Nissley, of Hu mm els town; Frank Caum. of Sennit on, Ira Buser and Solomon Zimmerman, of Highspire: Charles DeVeney Row. of Williamstown; Henry Cordes. of Mil-1 lersb.wg; Shell Keeme, of Penbrook: Joseph L. Nissley, of Middlet-own; Ellsworth McDaron, of Steelton. and Vernon R. Minnis. the universally be loved Harrisburg letter carrier. In the list will be found also the : names of many noble women who shed n light on life 's pathway by their work in the spheres of religious. edtieationaT and charitable activities. Perhaps the saddest thing in the motuarv record is the number of veteran? of the Civil war who. dur ing 1914. answered the last roll call. Sixty-four names are here given •jainst forty-eight in each of the pre ceding two years. The Grand Armv is fapitUv becoming :r vanishing army. Here is recorded tthe death of a P-teelton woman who had passed her 104 th milestone on earth, whilst 14 persons whose deaths are here given, were between 90 and 100 years of j age: and 62 between the age« of SO and 90. THE SUICIDE AND ACCIDENT LIST Eight homicides are recorded .n Harrisburg and its vicinity or of Har- i risbiirg citizens temporarily living in another locality are recorded here, and ouc legal execution, the last for Dau phin county, according to thq law now in force. Suicides reaci the appalling number of 20. One of these was be-i cause the man who took his life had been refused naturalization 1 and others were for reasons equailv | trivial. This rushing unbidden into the pres »n. e of . the .Maker is one of the sad dest features of present day i:fe. The compiler of this record propose*, in the near future, jo present to the public a eerie*, of "Studio iu Suicide." If Special 23-Inch Sleeping, AA Foil Jointed DOLLS, With IffCQ Shoes and Stockings ... uU Also a largo stock and complete line of Imported and Domestic Toys which our display will prove. You are invited to inspect them. Popular priced. thev are the moan? of leading even n ' single person "To bear the ill lie lias Rather than fly to others he. knows) •not of." " •thev will not be written in vain. There is another sa<i feature in this i record. During the year 57 persons, in this locality were found dead in be-1, or dropped dead on the street or at their daily avocations. The heavy death tell in this direction is partly due to j the modern pace of rush and hurry. It. too. may be made the subject of a' future swies of papers. Of the 107 ratal accidents of the year, given in this list, the toll of the railroads was 21. Some of these were faithful employes who met death in the line of duty; some, citizens who met death at crossings or on the tracks, Street cars broupbt death to one person; automobiles to S. Burnings were fatal to 6, while falls oif various kinds were fatal to 19. One person was frozen to death, one electrocuted, three diet of asphyxiation, five from poison accidentally taken, two from electric discbarges, nine by drowning, five by explosions and one by the accidental discharge Oif firearms. Of nineteen deaths from miscellan- i eons accidents, generally of men at' work, twelve were the result of being i crushed in mines or quarries or by ma- ; ehinerv of some character. One death 1 is credited to starvation, one to the ex cessive use of ice cream, one to swal lowing false teeth and one to ten days of incessant hiccoughing after violent exertion, whilst fhe farm mower comes in for one lone victim. The above fig ures seem to indicate that there still is plenty of room for the "Safety' First'' movement. RECORD OF FIRES IN 1»!4 Harrisburg, thanks to its efficient j firemen, has again been surprisingly i free from destructive conflagrations.! But thirteen fires in the city, daring! the past twelve months seemed of suf ficient importance to be chronicled j here, the most spectacular being the destruction of the State printing office, at Court and Cmniberry streets, ai-1 there were also some others in 1 the business heart ot" the city that i wo-.rld have been very disastrous had j they not been so intelligently handled bv fhe brave volunteers of our fire de-1 partinent. In fires Penbrook, Lemovne,! White Hil! (the duck farm) and other j adjacent towns appear to have suffer- j ed more heavily than tiie city itself. The destruction of barns in the ad joining rural sections has been unusual-1 lv heavy, twelve being recorded here, i not inclusive of many barns burned j up during the heavy electrical storms of .July 10 and August 20. The saddest' feature is that, in a number of the* : barns, a large «amount of live stock j also was destroved.
