MINOR MITERS OF INTEREST The Schuster building, Mill street, which has been altered considerably to oonform with the change of grade is rapidly appioaching completion. The modern plate glass frout9 add very much to the appearance of the build iug, while the lowering of the floors gives the rooms ou the first story a greater height, which will be an ad vantage. A few finishing touches in the way of paper and paint remain to be put on the building when it will be ready for occupancy. J W. Phillips will re-occupy the side next to the canal with his grocery aud dry goods store. A. G. Harris will remove his stationery store back iuto the upper side of the building. * * m The scaffolding has been erected along the south side of Murray Bros, large brick building, preparatory to giving that portion a coat of paiut to' correspond with the front, which was finished up last week. Among other improvements some changes are being made in the brick work about the chimneys. Handsome awnings have been placed in front of the buildiug by A. E. Hostelley. « * * D. J. Rogers resumed work ou the paving of Mill street yesteiday after noon. Nothing had been done at this line of work since last week. Rewarded for heroic Service. An incident in connection with the Pennsylvania railroad wreck at Hai risburg remarkable for its pathos aud sentiment was the attachment formed by Samuel S. Shubert, the theatrical manager of New York, who received fatal injaries in the smash-up, for Charles Germer, a 17-year-old youth, residing in South Harrisburg, who came to Shubert's assistance after the latter had been rescued from trie burn ing cars by his associate, Abe Tlial heiiner. Shubert, after being taken from the car by Thalheimer, was car ried to the river bank ueaibv, when Germer, noticing the couditiou of Shubert, brought him a seat which he had wrenched fiom one of the wreck ed oars. It was while resting on this seat that Shubert inquired the name of Germer and when the reply of"Charles Germ er" was received,Shubert said . "Well. I'm going to call you Chailie aud you call me Sam." Shubert took hold of Germer's baud aud from that time until his death, it is said, would not permit the boy to leave him. Dnring his boors of suffer ing, while at the Commonwealth Ho tel. Shubert often spoke affectionately to the youth aud requested Germer to sit by his bed. When his nurses re monstrated with him, Shubart de manded that the young man be kept near him and when he sank into his last sleep bis bandaged baud rested in that of the strauger who had come to his assistance. Relatives of Shubert, when inform ed of the latter's attachment for the Harrisburg boy,decided to reward him for his services aud sent Germer a draft for SIOO with a letter requesting him to attend the funeral services which were held in New York city Sunday. Germer was also instructed togo to New York prepared to accept a position which will be made for him in the Shubert offices. A State Police Force. Pennsylvania is to have a State po lice force. The force is to constitute 200 men, under the control of a snperin tendent. The latter is to assign the men to any portion of the State where their services are needed. This new force ought to serve a use ful purpose in preventing disorder. It can be used to back up weak sheriffs who hesitate to swear in additional deputies, to maintain order, and will in a measure force them to do their duty. A State police force of 200 men sent out to largely prevent the necessity of calling out the militia in the event of trouble; a force of 200 drilled and well armed men backed by the full power of the State, will teach those disposed to be lawless,that the authority of the Commonwealth is not to be trifled with. Tiie State police is intended to re place the coal and iron police, often composed of dangerous and desperate meu, whose lawlessness has frequently provoked rioting Armed with author ity, which is unquestionable the State police will have a tendency to awe the foreign element in this State, which frequently causes trouble.

George Ryrner, a form er resident of Oonvngham, says the Hazleton Plain Speaker, figured in soclt a sensational marital affair at Wilkesbarre. "In a daring effort to delude her husband and make him believe that she was dead there was inserted in a newspaper of Wilkesbarre the follow ing notice: "The funeral of Mrs. George W. Kymer, of 49 Hauover street will he held this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the house. Hev. W. H. Stone will otli ciate. The pall bearers will be Katie Smith, Jenuie Wright, Mamie Fudge, Annie Dugan, May Wright and Jennie Smith.

RIVER BRIDGE INSPECTED 1 Continued From First Page. ] This it is clear when all is finished would improve the appearaure of the , approaoh very modi. There are still some persons in favor of rebuilding the wing wall at a different augle but whelli r theii influence will {trevail in the face of the piactical suggest ions ot Engineer Leonard will develop lat er. P. G. Bavlor, Supervisor of G_<ar liart township, was introduced to the Secretaiy to the Commissioners of Pub lie Grounds and Buildings and he ful ly explained fhe status of affairs relaf ing to the bridge approach on South side, lie would not venture a predic tion as to when the approach there might he completed. For his part, he said, he would not become a party to the construction of anything like a 'death trap" aud he sees only one w ay of making the bridge fit tor traffic and that is to finish up the approach with high retaining walls as designed. The official expressed doubt as to whether the bridge would he thrown open to traffic with the approach in its present bad shape, even though tiie bridge proper might be found to con form wholly to ylaus aud specifications and be prouounced a first class job; it was a question whether the bridge as a whole might not be regarded as em bracing the approaches, which as is well kuoAii could uot be regarded as completed. Following the meeting in the Court House it was learned that the inspect ors will make their report today, which will be returned to the Dauphin Coun ty Court. The approaches,it was said, were taken fully iuto consideration at tlii s. ssion in the Court House and the conclusion was reached that the in spection had to do only with the bridge proper and that the matter of ap proaches will not influence the repoit. In that eveut if the repoit be favor able the bridge may be takeu off the contractors' hands and forthwith turu ed over to the two counties, who them selves wili be left to wrestle with the problem of approach. RAILROAD WRECK INVESTIGATION | That the terrific explosions which proved so fatal iu Thursday's railroad wreck at Lochiel were due to the ig uitiug of powder by live coals which may have been scattered amoug the boxes aud heaps of explosives formed the gist of tho testimony at the coro ner's inquest. Experts and chemists in the manufacture of powder showed that the kind of explosive that was packed iu the demolished car was of a low grade audit could not be explod ed except by heat at a temperature of 20t'» degrees Fahrenheit, or by a dytia mite spark from a percussion cap and not under anv circumstances by con cussion.'Similar expert testimony dis proved the theory of a burst gas tank. 'i'ha hearing was concluded late Tues day afternoon. The testimony was giveu by the crew of the freight traiu which was wrecked by the sudden ap plication of the air brakes, ami it was this wreck into which the passenger train, second section of the express, train, crashed. The freight traiu had been flagged and iu stopping, two cars were buck led ; so that it was.impossible to flag the passeuger traiu. One of the cars contained about 20,000 pounds of low grade powder, which was exploded by a blaze starting from the wrecked <n giue, aud not by concussion. Among the witnesses were Howard Fry, brakeman; Lawrence Shatter, fireman; Conductor Kilpatrick ; C W. Kauffruan, front brakeman ; and John G. Best, engineer of the wrecked freight engine. Engineer Best testifi ed that he made the ordinary applica tion of six pounds air pressure and followed it with six pounds. General Superintendent Creightou explained for the benefit of the jury, that after a searching investigation made by the railroad officials,they had learned that the car back of the 37th car,containing the powder, was a steel car,which slightly protruded upon the passenger track an I into this the en gine of the passenger train had evi dently crashed. Testimony was also given by Dr C. B. Dudley, au expert chemist, who testified the explosion was caused by the powder, and not hy concussion. The coroner was assisted in the in vestigation by County Solicitor Miller aud District Attorney Weiss. hymau D. Gilbert of Harrisburg. appeared as attorney for the railroad company. Attending the hearings besideß Gen eral Superintendent Creightou, of the Main Line, were C. A. Preston, super intendent of the Middle division, and superintendent W. B. McCjleb, of the Philadelphia division; M. Trump gen eral superintendent of transportation ; B. N. Ourborow, superintendent of motive power; J. Alexander,air brake expert; M. Kline, chief car inspector, aud H. S. G. Kerbaugh, railroad con tractor,to whom the fatal powder was consigned.

Y., May 17. —A general strike of starcliers is now ou in all the factories of Troy that hive their own laundries. They are eight iu uum bar. Trouble over wages started in the factory of Cluett, Peabody and Company about two weeks ago and the firm's refusal to raise the prices paid to the starcliers was endorsed by the Shirt ait 1 Collar Manufacturers' As sociation. Cluett, Peabody and Company's starcliers quit and tiie firm was oblig ed to shut dowu the laundry. This morning, according to previous agree ment goods made by Cluett, Peabody and Co. were delivered at tlie other factoties for the purpose of having them starched. The girls refused to do the work and quit. Congressman Samuel has rereived from the Navy Department the result of the iecent examinations for admis sion to the Academy at Annapolis.

The second or physical ex amination will be takm by Mr But ter at Anuapolis early in June. If he fails Mr. Kemble will be examiued. The Piiuiitive Methodist conference at Hazletou, decided that uo ministers of their denomination should marry a divoiced person. For many years it has been the policy to refuse to marry divorced persons unless their divorces were obtained for reasons sanctioned by the sciipturts. It was found that advantage was taken to this exception anil that con-ideiahle latitude was al lowed. Consequently the conference refused permission to its ministers to mairy aiy person who has been di vorced for any reason whatever. To AM.
