Most Brilliant Lawyers and
Scholars Tho Popular Mino
Inspector's Doath
EATniastnlgbtclalmed
two of tho most promi
nent, popular and bril
liant mon of Schuyl
kill county. Ono was
John A. Nosh, Esq., a
scholar and ono of the
ablest members of the
bar in this stato, and tbo other, William Mc
Murtric, Mino Inspector of the Ashland and
Sbamokin districts.
Mr. Nash's death was wholly unexpected
and was duo to apoploxy.
Mr. McMurtrio's death was due to typhoid
fever nnd nlthough his condition lately was
not as good as It was during tho first part 6f
this week, his death was somewhat surprising.
Mr. Nash loft tho county court houso at
about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon and went
direct to his homo at 402 East Norwegian
street. Ho complained of a pain in tho
head. By C o'clock Mr. Nash had grown
quite ill and sought his room. Mri. Nash
sent for a doctor, who arrived with Father
Itoonoy at about 0 o'clock, but by that tlmo
the brilliant lawyer had becomo unconscious
nnd died in a few minutes after their arrival.
Death was attributed to apoplexy.
John A. Nash was tho son of Matthew and
Mary Nash, and was born at Fishbach on
January 13, 1814. At an early ago he worked
as a slato picker at tho Beechwood colliery
and subsequently becamo a driver at a
colliery owned by William Williams. Event
ually he gavo up work at tho mines and after
a course of study in the Fottsvllle schools he
became a student in the law oflico of John
W. Hoseborry, Esq., at rottsvlllo, Ho taught
school ono term at Glen Carbon, but aftor
that gave all his time to tho study of law and
was admitted to tho Bar when in his 22nd
year. It was while ho was a law student that
ho enlisted In tho 100-day service and
acquitted himself honorably.
Mr. Nash was married sixteen years ago to
Miss Ellio Geary, of Jalappa.va daughter of
the late James Clcary and sister of M. J.
Geary of town. As a result of the union
five children were born, but only three of
them survive tho father. They aro John, 9;
Katie, 7, and Louiso, 4 years old.
The doccascd Is survived by tho following
brothers and sisters:. Edward, a carriage
blacksmith, of Lancaster; Luke, boss roller
at the Fishbach mills; Rev. James Nash,
pastor of the Church of tho Eplphony, corner
Twelfth and Jackson streets, Philadelphia; J
l'hil., assistant manager and press agent of
the Bijou thcatro, Philadelphia; Annio, liv
ing with Father Nash, and Margaret a sister
of charity of the order of St. Joseph's, known
in tho religious world as Sister Ludovlca, in
tho Widow's Home, Philadelphia. Tho
mother of tho deceased died about five years
ago.
Mr. Nash was very successful in both his
criminal nnd civil law practice and his
cljentago extended over all sections of tbo
state. The last prominent criminal caso ho
appeared in was that of Constable Isaac
Phillips, who was recently acquitted at
PotUvllIe of u chargo of murdering 'Squire
O'Donnell. Mr. Nash appeared for Phillips.
At one time Mr. Nash figured as a news
paper correspondent and contributed several
ablo articles to tho Hbeald over tho nomde
plume, "Black Band."
Tho funeral will take place Tuesday morn

A MARCH STOLEN BY THE
PENNSYLVANIA COMPANY.
BRIDGE BUILDING IN DARKNESS
Tuo Policemen Succeeded la Get
ting tho Chief Burgess and
Some Counollmen Out of
Tholr Beds.
OUKCILhas been duped
again and to-day the
people on all sides were
laughing over the affair.
This tlmo the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Com
pany played tho card
and the railway trestle
that was objected to by
tbo Chief Burgess and Councllmcn was
slipped up last night while they were asleep.
As stated in the Herald a few days ago,
the plans for tho Win. Penn branch of the
Pennsylvania Railroad called for the con
struction of a bridge over tho publio road
near the Cambridge colliery. To mako this
brldgo the company proposed to put an
abutment almost in tbo centre of tho highway
and when this becamo known a number of
citizens objected and appealed to the Chief
Burgess and Borough Council, through tho
street committee, to take steps for stopping
tbo proposed construction. They claimed
that it would bo dangerous to have any
obstruction of tho kind in this much-used
highway nnd tho company should be obliged
to span it.
Somo of tho wlso heads of Council were
bunched and at first it was concluded that
an Injunction should be applied for, hut more
conservative arguments prevailed and It was
decided that tho Burgess and street com
mittee should go to tbo scene of operations
and let the company know "wo are the
people."
This duty was performed last Thursday
morning. Tho borough's representatives
were received In the most suave manner by
the foreman of the work aud lio assured them
that it was not tbo Intention of tbo Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, or the contrao'
tor, to havo any difficulty with tho borough.
Tbo result of tho consultation was that tho
foreman agreed to stop work on tho bridgo
and givo tho Borough Council time to com
municate with tho engineer of the company,
No more work was dono on tho bridgo
Thursday or yesterday, but at a lato hour
last night a gang of about twenty men stolo
down to tho site of the bridge. Towards 1
o'clock this nioi ning Policeman Gcorgo
Holvoy, who was patiollng his beat in tbo
southern part of town, beard tho noise of
hammers and saws. Ho located tbo sounds,
but could seo nothing, as tho olectrlo light
that illumluatcs tho ground about tho Cam
bridge colliery was out. "Be jingo, I believo
tho bridgo is going np 17 soliloquized Holvey
after intently listening for a moment or two,
A little further Investigation convinced the
pollcoman that "lie jingo" tbo bridgo was
climbing up llko wildfire aud.lie started oil
to give an alarm.
Holvoy communicated with officer Wllllatiis
and Chief of l'ullco Davis aud tho three
started olf to notify tho members of the street
committeo and Chief Burgoss. All were
found at their homes and it took considerable
rapping to awaken somo of them.
Is tho brfugo up?" asked two or three of
tbo borough fathers.
"Pretty near," tho policemen answered.
"Then wo can do nothing," and those who
took this philosophical viow of tho situation
returned to their beds.
Councllmcn Gable and Lamb and Chief
Burgess Smith went down to the bridge.
"You must stop this work at once," they
said. "You promised to Btop it and givo us
time to communicate with tho company's en
gineers." "I know I did," answered tho foreman,
"but I am not running tho Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. I am only tbo foreman
of tho contractor of this work and tho com
pany has issued orders that the work shall go
ahead."
" If you don't stop I shall call out my
force," ventured tho Burgess.
"Well, go ahead," said tho foreman, "I
havo my force on the ground."
Itwasof no uso to dicker. The Burgess
and Councilman returned to town convinced
that the promises of railroad employes aro
like those of other human beings mado to
bo broken, and "be jingo" tho bridgo is
there.
