LEONARD CASE FORTUNE A special from J Cleveland, Ohio, says:—A dispatch from Walton,N. Y. to the effect that a family was about to lav claim to the $30,000,000 estate of Leonard Case, Jr.. in this city pub lished this morning, caused consider able comment here. While the Case estate is not a myth, and Leonard Case died a bachelor and without a will,no heirs can claim a penny of it. This decision was made recently by Judge Francis J. Wing, in United States Circuit Court here. Leonard Case, Jr., owned largo blocks of real estate in this city, and since his death it has probably enhanc ed in value so that what was worth twenty years ago $10,000,000 lias now trebled in value. Some time prior to his death Mr. Case conceived a plan of establishing a school for the educa tion of young men in the trades com bined with a scientific course for ad vanced students. To this purpose his vast fortune was devoted, and the Case School of Applied Science, on Euclid avenue, adjoining Adalbert College, is the result. Nearly all the estate was putin trust by the million aire for this school, and papers were drawn in sucli a way that not a dollar of the property can be alienated. Long leases can be made and a large part of tlie property is so disposed of as it is in the best residence portion of the city. Case Library, covering an entire block, also belonged to the estate, and it is this property that has caused all tho trouble. It adjoins the postoflice, and when the Government decided up on a new Federal building condemna tion proceedings wore brought to se cure possession of it. Of course all the relatives near and distant of Leon ard Case had to be notified, and many supposed they had discovered an es tate that was to be divided. Law yers in all parts of the country have appeared in Cleveland to look up tho estate, and several suits have been brought, only to fail. Tho estate was tied up too securely to be broken up, and tho rentals all goto the Case School of Applied Science, a monu ment to tho philanthrophy of one of Cleveland's early millionaires.

When one has suffered tortures from . a bad back and found out how the aches and pains ran be removed, advice is of untold value to friends and neigh bors, particularly when they know the statement is absolutely correct.

I used many remedies, try- I ing first one thing and then another, but without being cured.

Aside from the special services held, at this time, the holiday is ouo of rejoicing, and an effort is being made by the Bloomsburg and Danville members of the B'ne Ziou synagogue to givo a Purim ball. A number of years ago it was the custom in this city to give these affairs at every celebration of this holiday, and many of our residents can recall pleasant hours spent at "the Purim balls." At that time tliev were held in the Opera House. The Purim ball this year will likely be given in tho Armory. It is the in tention to decorate on a magnificent scale and a caterer will be procured to furnish supper. The Opera House orchestra, augmented to 12 men will furnish the music. The Farmer's Wife, is very careful about her churn. She scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives it a sun batli to sweeten it. She knows that if her churn is sour it will taiut the butter that is made in it. The stomach is a churn. In the stomach and digestive and nutritive tracts are per formed processes which are exactly akin to the churning of butter. Is it not ap parent then that if the stomach churn is "sour" it sours all that is put into it? The evil of a foul breath is not the bad taste in the mouth and the foul breath caused by it, but the corruption of the pure current of the blood and the dis semination of disease throughout the body. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medic il Discovery makes the sour stomach sweet. It does for the stomach what the washing and sun bath do for the churn absolutely removes every taint ing or corrupting element. "Golden Medical Discovery'' contains no alcohol, whiskey or other intoxicants and no narcotic. Summer Dances at Hunter's Park.

THE PRESENT COAL FAMINE What the conditions might have been had President Roosevelt not injected his energetic personality into the anthracite coal dispute can lie con jectured from the conditions that now exist. Despito the tact that mining was resumed in the anthracite region nearly two months before the appear ance of rough weather the country is without coal. Domestic consumers are threatened witli freezing aud factories are closing for want of fuol. The railroads are so pressed with car rying foodstuffs and high-grade freights that coal shipments are un certain, and even when undertaken are liable to seizure before reaching their destination. Such was the fate of a trainload,temporarily sidetracked in an Indiana town the other day. From every part of the country there come reports o£ ill .: s; 1.111.1,4 the present cold wavo. There will he other such waves, and some of them more .severe during this month and next. If theshevtago of coal is already menacing to life aud to law and or der, what will it he before spring gives relief? What would it have been had not President Roosevelt in tervened to end the strike when he did, while there was yet time to get two months' product where it was most needed? The actual conditions confronting the consuming public were forcibly brought home to the in vestigating commission the other day when one momber hastened away from his untasted luncheon on receiving information from his home that there was not a pound of coal iu the house and 110 prospect of getting any. No doubt these conditions will lend earnestness to the demand that some means be divised for preventing a rep etition of struggles like that of last summer. The danger is that general distress before spring may create a do mand tor radical and unwise legisla tion. As for immediate remedies there are none unless the railroads can supply them. Coal can be produc ed in this region to keep all the dwell ings warm if only the railroads were equal to carrying it from mine to consumer. It is a chilly out-look. Murderers Enjoying Good Health. Murderers John Gulick and Jacob Gearhardt, who are in the Northum berland county jail awaiting their doom, the day of the hanging not hav ing yet been set, are in excellent health and seem little concerned over their fate. They occupy cells 011 the lower tier 011 the penitentiary or west wing of the jail and spend their time reading newspapers and conversing with friends. Both are hopeful of escaping the gallows and the fate of one it is thought wholly depends on the oth er's life. The murderers have been refused new trials and Guliek's case has been up before the Board of Pardons, but no action has as yet been taken by that body. The board will send an expert on insanity to the county jail and lie will inquire into the mental condition of Guilck aud his life or death lies in the report of the medical expert. Murderer Galick is closely watched night aud day. At present Theodore Lytic, of Sliamokin, is officiating in the capacity of death watch over him. Will Build a Modern Dwelling. Frank G.

A story nnparalled in the history of Northumberland county, has jus! been brought to light and shows that soran men are mean enough to rob a man awaiting sentence for murder. Since Judge Savidgo refused murd erer Jacob Gorhardt a new trial a death watch, Theodore Lytic, of Slia mokin has been employed. Lytic was somewhat of a politician audit was by this means that he secured his posi tion, if it may be so called. Lytic was iu Sliamokin on New Year's morning and before returning to Sunbury to resume his duties, call ed at John Schabo's hotel to see if the proprietor had any message to send down to the prisoner. Mr. Scliabo, who is a man with a kind and generous heart thought that ho would lighten Gerhardt's burden so lie gave Lytic twenty five $1 bills, tolling him to tell Gorhardt to enjoy himself and hear up. Lytic boarded the train for the coun ty seat but never showed up at the jail. Instead, lie went around to Tom Lawler and several other prominent politicians at Sunbury and told them a pitiable story, of how his wife had died the night before and that 110 had no money with which to give her a decnt burial. The men all trusted the man and as his story seemed plausablo they dived deep down into their pockets aud lib erally passe l up some of their hard earned coin. With tears in his eyes Lytic thanked them and left for Slia mokin, so they thought. Since that time nothing has been beard of him aud his wife and family are anxious as to his whereabouts. In conversation with one of the men at Sunbury who was fleeced by the absconder's smooth tongue, a repres entative of the Sliamokin News learn ed several more interesting facts. Lytic mot his father-in-law, who resides at Dalmatia who had business at the county s -at on New Year's day, and told him of his daughter's death. The father hurried to his daughter's home on Market street and was agree ably surprised to see her open the door in answer to his knock. To cap the climax the gonial Tom Lawler sent a wreath of flowers to the house to lie placed on the « asket the day of the funeral,hut it is not known whether Tom got his wreal.li back or not. Many persons think that Lytic has committed suicide as ho had been drinking quite heavily prior to his disappearance. PL4IN TALK" Straight Talk und to the Point The Vir tues of Dr. A. W.

EX-GOVERNOR HASTINGS DEAD BELLEFONTE, Pa., Jan. »th —Ex- Governor Daniel H. Hastings, who had been ill with pleuro pneumonia, died at bis home in this place at 10 o'clock Friday morning. Although it was known that General : Hastings was a very sick man it was thought that he would pull through. 1 Late Thursday evening, Dr. Curtiu.of Philadelphia, who was called to con sult with Dr. Goorgo F. Harris aud Dr. George B. Klump, of this place, stated that there was a change for the better iu the General's condition. His breathing was not so labored and while the change was not a decided one, yet it- was enough to give the family and friends some hope of his recovery. General Hastings' daughter, Mis. Ross A. Hickok, of Harrisburg, ac companied by her husband and child, reached Bellefonte late Thursday after noon and hastened to the bedside of her father. The General's sister, Mrs. Ella Saltzman, of Lock Haven, was also there. Mrs. Hastings has sent out cards cancelling the invitations to the approaching wedding of her sis ter, Miss Bella Rankin, to Frank Mc- Failaue, of Boalsburg, Pa., which was to have taken place at the Hast ings homo next Wednesday even ing. Daniel Hartmau Hastings came of that stock that has left such an endur ing mark 011 the best pages of Ameri can history—Scotch Irish. His father was born in County Derry, Ireland, and his mother in Scotland. Daniel was horn in a log cabin in Lamar town ship, Clinton county, about two miles from the village of Rote, on Feb. 2f>, 1841). He spent his boyhood days with father and brothers, in clearing a farm, driving an ox team, and doing a little lumbering. In 1S»>1 his three elder brothers had enrolled themselves among the defenders of their country, and, boy as he was, ho nin>t needs follow their example. Partly because of his youth, partly because lie was needed at home, his father would not consent. He left to join the army but was overtaken at Lock Haven and I brought home, only to make another attempt, this time getting as far as Williamsport before he was captured by his anxious father. A third time he made the trial to get himself en rolled in th • ranks of blue, and this time ho succeeded 111 reaching Carlisle and enlisting. He was not long per mitted to wear the utiifoim of a full private, for his dream of martial r» - uown was cut short by Pie arrival of his father, who, urging his parental authority, took liim back to his par- I eutal roof. When but fourteen years of age lie learned of a school teacher's position which had become vacant in Wayne township. Clinton county. Finding . favor iu the sight of those who had the making of the appointments, he secured it. but with the condition at tached that he should pass an examina ' tion Ho walked back to Lock Haven, passed the required examination, re ceived his certificate, and footing it back, was in time to open the school next morning and began his new avo : cation of teaching the young ideas. I For the next four years he taught a school 111 the winter and worked with his father on the farm in the summer. He attended Dickinson seminary, at Williamsport, several terms. All this time he studied untiringly to perfect himself as a teacher, and in 18<!7 lie was elected principal of the Bellefonte High School. His new honor and its responsibilities impressed him with the need of education iu the higher branches-, and under the tuition of Professor Mundy, of the Bellefonte academy,he mastered Greek and Latin. While priucipal of the high school he began his connection with the press as assistant editor of the Bellefonte Republican During this time, too, he studied law, and was admitted to the bar of Centre county in April, 1875, becoming a member of the firm of Bush.Yocum & Hastings. In 1877 General Hastings was marri ed to Miss Jane Armstrong Rankin, daugher of the late James K. Rankin. Esq., onco a prominent member of the bar of Centre county. Two daughters were born to the union,both of whom, with Mrs. Hastings, survive. In the campaign of 1882 General Hastings was a warm supporter of the candidacy of General Beaver for gov ernor, and in 188(5 he again presented the name of General Beaver to the Re pubilcau convention and success crow 11 ed his efforts. In the following year ho was elected to the chairmanship of the state Republican national conven tion. In 1888 he was delegate-at-large from Pennsylvania to the Republican national convention at Chicago, and was selected to nominate John Sher man, of Ohio, for the presidency. At the Republican state convention held in Harrisburg, Pa., on May 2:?, 18SM, General Hastings was nominated for governor of Pennsylvania by Gen. James A. Beaver, aud was elected in November of that year by the unpre cedented majority of 241,397. Governor Hastings w is a 111111 of pleasing personality, lie wa over MX feet tall, and splendidly proportioned. He was named to. - a pioneer Methodist preacher of Central Pennsylvania- Daniel Hartman. Of late years, and especially during his administration as governor, a strong attachment and friendship existed between Mr. Hast ings and the late 11. C. MeCormick.of Williamsport. These men were about of an age, and it is a singular but sad fact that their deaths should occur with so little time intervening. No man was better known throughout the state than General Hastings. His funeral will be attended by many of the prominent citizens of th.» common wealth. Every Bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Warranted.

" Gentlemen of the Jury: Thi- i> an action to recover damage- which Dr. I. N. \V. Irvine, the plaintiff, claims lie sustained by reason of an alleged conspiracy between Emma D. Elliott, Rt. Rev. Ethelbert Talbot, and Alex ander Elliott, the defendants, where by lie was deposed from the ministry. St. John's Protestant Episcopal church of Huntingdon, in IH*JH was what is known as a mission church. That is, it was a church whii h received aid from the diocese in support of its rector. It is located within the ter ritory of the diocese of Central Penn sylvania. Rt. Rev. Ethelbert Talfiot, one of the defendants, is the bishop of tin- diocese, and it was his duty to supply the church with a minister so long as it was a mission church. On M irch ','"ind, ISiM, lie appointed Dr. Irvine, the plaintiff minister. He testifies that he knew that troubles had arisen 111 other churches which had been served by Dr. Irvine, which he believed were attributed to bis conduct, but being willing to give him another trial, hn exacted from him, at the time of his appointm -lit, a promise that he would resign from St. John's when he (the bishop* would request him. "Not many months had elapsed he tore the hi-hop learned ol trouble be tween Dr. Irvine and the other min isters of tin l liorough of Huntingdon, ami between him and the management of the Pennsylvania Industrial Re formatory, located across the river from the to>VII, and that serious trou ble had arisen in the church. Its members had become divided and members of the vestry had resigned. Ugly rumors a- to the moral character and conduct of Dr. Irvine ct'li • to lu ear.}. On Feb. 11, IBiW, lie wrot • D.\ Irvine a letter, r,-minding him ol his promi-e that lie would quietly leave the church if any trouble arose and requesting him to leave Huntingdon. This letter is couched in very friend ly terms. Dr. Irvine formerly resign ed as rector of the church, hut a ma jority of the church vestry, on Feb. 20 , 1599. declared the church with drawn from any claim for aid fiom the missionary fund and formally called Dr. Irvine to be it- rector. The bishop thereafter had no power to com pel him to relinquish his rectorship unless he had or would violate some canon of the church. "Mrs. Emma I). Elliott,one of these defendants, had been a warm jiersonal friend of Dr. Irvine aud was a very generous contributor to the church. A trouble arose between the rector and her about a claim which a Mr. Warn ed, of Altoona,had against the church for services rendu led as a choirmaster. Mrs. Elilott testifies that she gave to Dr. Irvim money to pay thy claim and that Irvine instead of paying the claim kept the money. This circum stance seems to have estranged Mis. Elliott and Dr. Irvine. To that time she was admitted to the communion by Mr. Houghton, the immediate pre decessor of Dr. Irvine, as well as by Dr. Irvine himself. Dr. Irvine then barred Mrs. Elliott from the com munion because she was a divorced woman for a reason contrary to the canon of the church. Correspondence was had between him and the bishop and Mrs. Elliott on the subject. We do no regard this circumstance of mat eriality in the dctermiii-itioj of this case, although Mrs. Elliott seemed then desirious of having him deposed from the rectorship of this church. Complaints of Dr. Irvine's conduct were made by her to the bishop. Sub sequently a letter was received by the bishop,purporting tobesigued by Mrs. Elliott, withdrawing (or practically withdrawing) all complaints she had made against Dr. Irvine, and request ing that lie IK- retained at St. John's church. "This letter was sent by the bishop to Mr. Elliott, one of the defendants aud the husband of Emma I). Elliott. She denied writing or ,-iguing it. The bishop then wrote her that if she could convince Dr. Irvine of the forgery of it 1 he would unfrock the 'slimy fellow." This letter is destroyed, and there fore, not produced, hut several wit nesses who heard it read testify that that was the iiui>ort of it. A couple of them testify that the bishop in that letter advised the Elliotts to have him convicted. The bishop positively de nies that he advised the conviction of Dr. Irvine for that offense. "If this minister of the gos]>el was guilty of forging that letter, we fail to see why the bishop should be criticised for advising that he be tried in a court of justice, which was the very place to tiy him for forgery, if he were guilty of forgery. Prosecution for the forgery was advised by Mrs. Elliott's attorney, ex-Judge William son a reputable niemlier of the bar. and Mrs. Elliott commenced the pn»> ecution. I believe that Mrs. Elliott was the prosecutrix, although it is not very clearly shown 111 the raw. A preliminary bearing was bail l»ciere a reputable jnstn eof the peace of this town 011 the 17th of February, I*;*.*, lie heard witnesses to substantiate the charge. Dr. Irvine prolu.ed none, neither did lie testify in his own be half, denying that he was the author of that letter. Bishop Talbot, who received the letter, and Mrs. Elliott, whose name was attached to it, were necessary witnesses at that hearing. "The justice decided that Dr. Irvine should be held for trial at court. The grand jury returned a true hill. When the cas * was called for trial. Dr. Irvine's counsel, made technical ob jections to the sufficiency of the in dictment by demurrer to it, which, after hearing, were sustained by tie court. With that deci»ion the forgery | case ended and i* not again heard of | in any of the proceeding* which fol lowed, which resulted in the deposilion of tlii- | laintifT from th- mini-fry. It cuts no figure in the satmeqiieat pro ceeding* It does not appear to have any influence upon the tribunal which subsequently tried Dr Irvine. It is quite probable that in view of the r lations which existed between Mr- Elliott and Dr. Irvine, her pa*for, -li«» desired his removal from St. John'* church, and it is "|ua!lv probable that the hi*hop,in view of the rum >r refleeting ujxtu the moral conduct ot this rector apt" inted by lum de-i red that the pastoral relation- *hou!d 1 dissolved. Both of them had tit*- right to u-e all lawful means to accomplish that end without being guilty of a «■■>» spiracy. There is no evidt-nea that either of the defendant- ased .my other means. "Dr. Irvine having h»-n found guilty of conduct which w;»- unt- >•• mi ing a clergyman by the court of th clinrch, duly constituted for tie- pur js*- of trying the charge* preferred against him. with the judgm- ot of the court that he b ■ dngrad'-d and ■ !»• posed from the ministry, there was nothing left for the bishop but to uu s>o-e the sentence, which wa- el- irly his right as well as we think, In - duty.
