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.

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.

VOIAH PRETENDED
THAT SHE MS DEAD
That a woman, woalil play off dead
to deceive Iter husband with whom she
had parted, seems to lie a tale of fic
tion, yet Mr*. 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.
"The scheme tailed to work, how
ever, aud the husband had no sooner
heard of it than he branded it as an
iulamous tries ou her part to mislead
I him.
"Hyiner and his wife have been mar
ried about two years aud their marri
ed life has been a rough one. Kecout
i ly she iuherited f786. IB and then <-he
! informed him that he would have to
; get out as she cared for him no long
; er. Although he earned fairly goud
I wages, she refused to live with him
: alter receiving the money, believing
; that the small legacy would be sultici
ent for the remainder of her days on
■ earth.
j "Previous to tiie marriage her name
was Laura Stout and .-he resided at
i Conynghaiu. She is young and pre
j possessing and has many friends. This
Is alleged to have been the cause of
i the trouble with lier husband. He is a
quiet aud lawabidiug citizen aud a
hard worker. The couple no longer
live together.
"The minister named in the funeral
knew nothing of the matter.
I The husbaud of the woman saw her
on the street after the funeral notice
, had been printed.

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

consigned.

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.
