In all liklihood a new bridge will be recommended. AGED GALLITZIN MAN DEAD.

CHERRYTREE HOTEL IS DESTROYED BY FIRE The William Penn hotel, one of the landmarks of Cherrytree, was com- pletely wiped out by fire on Tuesday night of last week, the blaze being discovered between 11 and 12 o'clock. The fire seemingly originated in the furnace room and gained such head- way that people in the hotel barely escaped with their lives. All of the contents of the hostelry went up in the flames, likewise much of the clo- thing of the guests quartered in the hotel for the night, a capacity house being registered at that time. The hotel was a three story.frame structure and had fifty rooms in it. All of these were occupied when the fire broke out. Four fire companies, from Barnesboro, Hastings, Spangler and Clymer were called to the assist- ance of the Cherrytree company but the fire was advanced that all the combined efforts of the firemen and equipment were to no avail in saving the hotel. Other buildings in close proximity to the ‘burning building were saved, however, The hotel was owned and conduct- ed by Geo. J. Ma Insurance will cover all or nearly of the loss, it is said. The place was valued at ab- out $35,000. The loss will be not only to the owner of the hotel, but to the ¢ommunity, the public house being the only one the town. nw 0 in Eugene C. Lann, Eugene Claire Lann, the thirteen months’ old son of Mr, and Mrs. Har- ry Lann of Barnesboro, died of pneu- monia at the parental home at ten o’- clock on Sunday morning.
