The new railroad time table Is a
very great inconvenience to Sones
town. We can no longer get to
Williamsport in the morning nor in
fact any other place on the W. <fc N.
B. or beyond it. Our city papers do
not arrive until afternoon and then
they seem old already. Our impor
tant mails do not come in until after
two o'clock in the afternoon and the
train is generally late. The last
mail out for the day closes at half
past two so that we can no longer
reply to a letter on the same day it
is received.
Eagles Mere suffers worse than we
do as it is now impossible to get
from any point on the Beading Rai
road to Eagles Mere without spend
ing a night at Sonestown. Alto
gether the management seems to
have sacrificed all its local patrons
for the sake of the limited few who
may want togo to some point in the
direction of .Towanda. The new
connection is well enough but it is
not worth the sacrifice that it in
volves along tne line.
Michael Breitmyer Murdered by Negroes
The town of Brilliant, Ohio, nenr
the W. Va. line, was the scene of a
foul murder on Thursday of last
week, by which Michael Breitmyer
formerly of Sonestown, met his
death. While waiting for a car Mr.
Breitmyer entered a nearby hotel
and on leaving he was followed by
five negroes who opened fire on him
when they reached the street. One
of the stray bullets glazed the bar
tenders face within the hotel and a
lady guest was nearly struck by a
shot. The fatal missile that struck
Mr. Breitmyer, passed through his
body slightly below the heart, caus
ing instant death. The murder was
committed before the eyes of his
wife who was waiting outside for
her husband.
The negroes attempted to escape
but were soon captured and lodged
in jail. The dead man's body was
brought to Sonestown on Saturday
for burial. Funeral services were
held on Monday. He was 53 years
of a.,e.
