HARRY ZAX DEAD.
The Well Known Clothier ol Laporte a
Victim ot Appendicitis.
Harry Zaxdied Wednesday morn
ing at 4 o'clock in the Williamsport
hospital where he had been taken
while suffering with appendicitis
and was operated upon about two
weeks ago.
Deceased was a promising young
man of about 28 years of age, well
and favorably known in this section
of the county. For the past year or
more he conducted the clothing store
at this place, and had, previous to
this successful business adventure,
been a clerk for Daymen Heir at
Muncy Valley.
His body was taken to Cincinnati,
his former home, for burial.
A DICKERMAN SCHEME.
County Chairman Win. P. Shoe
maker and Congressional Conferees
Chas. Funston and J. W. Rogers,
left here Wednesday for Sunbury
where it is hoped that the deadlock
between Hon. F. A. Codcharles of
Milton and Chas. Evans of Ber
wick, will be broken, who were tie
on the vote of Conferees at the
convention held last week.
It is a well known fact among
politicians of both faiths that if
Godcliarles receives this nomina
tion there will l>e a Democratic
laud slide which will land the pop
ular young Miltonian to the office
with a handsome majority. It is
also a fact that C. H. Dickerman
knows that with Godcliarles as his
opponent he has no chance to win
and hence he and his allies in the
Republican ranks; namely: Messrs.
Woodin, Jackson and a few others
closely related to Dickerman, have
placed Evans to defeat Godcliarles
at the nomination. In the event
of Godcliarles' failure to make the
nomination, the Republican ticket
in Northumberland would
lose much strength, and voters
from Columbia, Montour and Sull
ivan counties declare that Evans
name on their tickets could add no
strength whatever.
Two Justices of the Peace Do Police
Duty and Have a Lively Encounter.
Laporte has two Justices of the
Peace who are not afraid to pre

bles and police are not available.
A Lycoming county farmer while
in town picnicing Wednesday, in-
I dulged too freely|iu liquor and then
' gave a street exhibition of how dis
gracefully he could abuse his wife.
His sou who was also "full" enough
to think that he could give his fath
er a bodily chastising went to his
mother,s rescue. Justice Keeler
feeling that the village should have
Ijetter order, went to the combat
j tants and demanded peace, wliere
j upon he received a blow on the ear
cutting it quite badly and probably
j would have been more seriously
j injured had it not been for Justice
| Buschausen appearing on the scene
: to even odds by a few well directed
I blows. Our Peace officers soon
had them in custody and given a
j hearing whereupon the violaters
I were fined 810 and cost and dis-
J charged with a sound reprimand.
The Superior Court has overrul

RALPH MAGARGLE
DIED FROM Si*LALL POX.
i Body Was Buried Immediately After His
Death Because ot the Dai ifer ol Con
i tagion. News Deceived with Sadness.
j Ralph Magargle, age J *J!) years,
j 9 month aiul 9 days, youngest son
of Mrs. Phoebe Magargle, of Sones
town, died Wednesday of last week
at Chester, Pa., from nnisvllpox, af
ter an illness dating from June 28.
Following is the aueoiuit of his
death taken from the CliusterTiines:
"Ralph Magargle, thomotorman
wln» was stricken with smallpox a
week ago last Sunday, died yester
jday afternoon at the home of John
Hamilton, thirteenth street and
Kdgmont avenue.
From the tirst it was seen that the
unfortunate man had the dread mal
ady in its most virulent form, hut
on Tuesday the disease seemed to lie
att'eeting his heart and this organ be
came so week from the inroads of
the malady that it was unable to
perform its proper functions and
death resulted.
Yesterday afternoon when it was
seen that Magargle could not recov
er, his mother who resides up tin-
State, was telegraphed for, but the
young man died before her arrival.
She reached this city from Philadel
phia shortly after 1- o'clock.
Deceased, who was about 2s years
of age, had worked for the Chester
Tract ion Company for some time and
by his manners had made many
friends among the other employes of
the road. He was on the I'pland
run and was considered one of the
best motormcn in the company's
employ."
I'pon receipt of the telegram
Mrs. Magargle and her son-in-law
C. A. Stari' left on the 3 p. m. train
and arrived at Chester at 12 o clock
shortly after Ralph had been bur
ied. He died at three p. in.and
was buried that night at 11 o'clock.
His cousin, Harvey Housekneclit,
who had gone to Chester with him
two years ago, and who worked for j
the same company, had made alii
arrangements for the burial.
Previous to going to Chester two |
years ago, Mr. Magargle had charge
of his mothers hotel at Sonestown.
His acquaintances were many
throughout the county, all of whom
he commanded the highest confi
dence and esteem. In his death an
exemplary young man has gone to
his reward and he leaves behind,
as a solace to a loving mother and
friends, the fragrant memory of a
life of kindly deeds and a high
standard of manhood.
As soon as possible under the
circumstances the Ixxly will Im*
exhumed and reburied by the side
of his sister and brothers in the
cemetery at Lairdsville, Pa.
