boro, died in the asylum for the insane

o'clock. Mr. Glasser was admitted to

Productive of Kesults,
‘The strike of the soft coal miners,
which has paralyized the business in-
terests of this section for the past three
months and a half, is likely to end and
ithe men who have been idle for that
length of time will probably go to work
Monday. |
Committees representing the opera-
tors and the United Mine Workers of
this district held meetings last eyening
at Harrisburg preliminary to a confer-
ence to-day in the hope of reaching an
agreement which will end the strike of
35,000 miners.
The expectation is that a settlement
of the difficulties which have kept the
union men out of the mines since April
will be reached.
The miners are represented by a
committee of 12, of which W. B. Wil-
Charles Huber, an aged resident of
Elder township, and one of the pio-
neers of Northern Cambria county,
died Wednesday evening at 9 o’clock
of diseases incident to old age.
He was born in Germany 82 years
ago and came to this country when 18
years of age, locating in Elder town-
ship, where he had resided for the past

SALE OF BIG COAL PROPERTY.
“The Cresson and Clearfield Coal and Coke
|
Co. Disposes of its Holdings,
“The entire mining property of the
Cresson and Clearfield Coal and Coke |
company, comprising 7,200 acres of
walnable coal lands in Blair and Cam-
pria counties, was purchased Friday
by J. Blair Kennerly, of Philadelphia.
By the sale of this large coal tract the
Widener-Dolan-Cochran syndicate re-
tires from active operation.
There are three mines in operation
on the property and they have a total
production of 2,500 tons daily. Because
of the strike prevailing among the
miners of the Central Pennsylvania
bituminous district, the mines were idle
until a few week ago, when an amica-
ble adjustment was made with the rep-
resentatives of the miners and the
striking men returned to work.
The sale of the property was made
by Senator J. Henry Cochran, presi-
dent of the Cresson and Clearfield
company. Mr. Kennerly took advan-
tage of the right of the charter, which
was granted in Pennsylvania, and re-
organized the company with $1,000,000
capital. The officers chosen are: Presi-
dent, J. Blair Kennerly; secretary and
treasurer, James P. Platt; directors,
J. Henry Kennerly, J. P. Platt, J.
Blair Kennerly and Arthur Coppin-
ger. All the officers and directors are
in the employ of the purchaser, how-
lowing sons and daughters: Mrs. Jos. |
Overberger, of Susquehanna township;
Mrs. Benjamin Hupfer, Mrs. Charles
Baker, Mrs. Joseph McMullen, Mrs. |
McNulty, Augustine Huber
of Elder |
Michael
and Miss Francis Huber,
township, and Mrs. J. B. Overberger,
{of Patton. Mr. Huber’s wife died
about 15 years ago.
Funeral services were held in St.
Bernard’s church at
morning at 9:30 o’clock conducted by
Rev. Father Germane. The interment Fuliorn, Ib...
was in the Catholic cemetery.
FENCE LINE LAW.
Should Remember.
It is not generally known that during |
the session of the legislature of 1905 a
law was passed whereby one party to a
line fence could not compel the other
party to build his share of the fence as
the case may be.
Where a party interested in a line
fence has his own fence in good repair
| snd his neighbor refuses to build or re-
pair his share of fence, he goes to the
auditors and makes complaint to them.
The auditors are required to examine
the fence and the need of it. If they
find the complaint well-founded, they
report the same to a justice of the
peace who is required to give the faii-
| fence within forty days. If he does
not do it the other party may build it
and collect the cost of it,
| in good repair, or that no fence is re-
i quired, the auditors are to receive $2
| each to be paid
| they find at fault.
The whole procedure is
| farmers and lot owners will do well to
cut this out and remember it.

BURGESS DONNELLY DEAD!
Patton
Passed Away,

jurgess—A Pioneer of the Borough—-Aged
school and academic education and in |
11869 came to Pennsylvania, iocating at |
Williamsport, where he was promi-
nently identified with the lumber in-
dustry, being for some time a member |
of the planing mill firm of Funston,
Donnelly & Co. In 1881 he went to
Philipsburg, and for 11 years was sup- |
erintendent at that place for Hoover,
Hughes & Co.
In 1892 he came to Patton and re-
sided here until his death, being the
senior member of the firm of W. J.
Donnelly & Co., the other partner be-
ing Charles J. Reilly, the well-known
Williamsport attorney. |
Mr. Donnelly was married in Wil-
liamsport to Miss Mary Moff on April |
16, 1883. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. Eugene A. Garvey, at present
| bishop of this, the Altoona diocese of
the Roman Catholic church, who was
stationed in the Lumber City at that
time. Mrs. Donnelly died January 29,
1888. Three children were the fruit of
this union, a daughter who died when
| but a year old, and Misses Agnes and
| Anna, who survive. He is also sur-|
vived by two sisters, Miss Margaret
Donnelly, who was of his household,
and Mrs. Mary Roach, of Salem, Mass. |
The funeral was held in St. Mary’s
R. C. church Friday morning at 10:30 |
o’clock, at which time a high mass of
requiem was celebrated by Rev. Edwin |
Pierron. As a mark of respect to the
, | chief executive of the borough and a
| token of the regard in which the de- |
| ceased was held in the community, all |
| the business places in town were closed |
| during the funeral. The local members
| of the Knights of Columbus, of which |
| the deceased was a member, attended |
in a body.
The remains were taken to Williams- |
alot in the Mt. Carmel cemetery be- |
| side the remains of his wife, daughter,
| brother and cousin. About a dozen in- |
timates of the deceased from this place |
accompanied the funeral party. The |
‘| port Saturday morning and interred in
ton borough council.
Mr. Donnelly was an upright, public |
spirited man, always to the front in|
anything that pertained to the welfare |
of the town. He was progressive and |
left an impress on all with whom he
came in contact. A true friend, good |
citizen and kind and devoted father, |
the community suffers a distinct loss in |
his demise. A special meeting of the |
borough council was held Thursday
evening, July 5, and. by resolution
unanimously adopted the following, |
which was ordered spread on the min- |
utes and a copy sent to the family of |
the deceased:

beer now and then—better than all the drugs in the world,
provided the beer is pure and of high grade. This is the
only kind we handle. Beer that is well matured, free from
all deleterious substances and that has stood a chemical test.
Duquesne and Piel are the two best brands made in this
