W. F. HOCH DEAD
Well Known Freelaud Young Mau I'uhr
ed Away This Morning.
William F. Hoch died shortly before
7|o'ciock this morning at his home on
South Washington street. For several
months past his health had been very
poor, and threo months ago lie was
obliged to cease his work in the general
office of the Drifton companies.
He was a sufferer from stomach
trouble, and recently sought relief in a
Philadelphia hospital. At times he
showed signs of improvement, but these
were followed by relapses, and these
changes continued until the deceased
became too weak to further resist the
attacks of disease.
Mr. Hoch was aged 33 years and 2
months. He began work as a messen
ger boy in Drifton oflice at tho age of
twelve years, and continued in the
employment of the company until his
illness necessitated his retirement.
Ho was married on May 25, 1892, to
Miss Mary Edmunds, of Drifton, who,
with one son, Edmund, aged 1 year and
7 mouths, survive him. His father,
Conrad Hoch, of North Centre street,
mourns his loss, also the following
brothers and sisters: Joseph, of Ha/.le
ton; George, of Wilkesbarre; Mrs.
Thomas Horn, Mrs. John Kiingerman,
Mrs. Frank Hontz, Freeland, and Mrs.
Conrad Brehin, Upper Lehigh.
Mr. Hoch was a member of Union
Council, No. 300, American Legion of
Honor, of town.
The funeral will take place on Satur
day afternoon atr2 o'clock from bis late
residence. Services will bo conducted
at the house by Rev. J. I'. Buxton, of
Drifton, and Rev. F. Marshall, of town.
Interment at Freeland cemetery.
Mrs. Hoch feels her loss very keenly,
as she has boon called upon during the
past eighteen months to mourn tho
death of both parents and a brother.
Woman Burned to Death.
A frightful scene was enacted on
Main street, Plymouth, yesterday after
noon, when Mrs. S. W. Musavago was
burned to death and two of her children
badly burned. Mrs. Musavage had
been across the street for milk. On her
return she found the baby in the cradle
enveloped in flames and an older
daughter, aged fi years, trying to beat
out the fire. While doing so tho child's
clothing had taken fire.
Mrs. Musavage succeeded in putting
out the flames, but her strength failed
her when her own clothing had bocomo
Ignited. She rushed into the street, hut
before help arrived she had been fatally
burned and she only lived a few hours.
Will Sue For Libel,
Simon Neußurgor was at Wilkesbarre
on Monday and placed a case in tho
hands of Attorney John F. Shea, of
that city, which will probably result in
a suit for criminal libel against the
author or authors of a recent article in
the Freeland Dross, in which Mr. Noii-
Burgor and several other prominent
citizens were severely handled in con
nection wiilt their lishiug trip to Mes
hoppon.
A retraction from the supposed author
will bo demanded, and if this is not
forthcoming a suit for criminal libel
will follow.
Funeral of Lewis Henzel
Tim funeral of Lewis Henzel, who
died at his home hero on Sunday, took
place at 12.30 o'clock tliis afternoon.
The funeral was in charge of Under
taker E. F. Warner, of Weathorly, and
proceeded via carriages to Weathorly,
where Interment was made. Mr. Hen
zel was aged 74 years and was ill for some
months past. He is survived by one
daughter and throe sons, Mrs. Het
tinger, of town; Edward and Frank, of
Depew, N. Y., and Jerry, of Weathorly.
Airing the Trolley Scandal,
The cnuncilinanlc bribery investiga
tion at Wilkesbarre is on. Councilman
Santco on Monday tostiliod that George
L. Llewellyn bail offered him a bribe of
S3OO. lie was asked to explain why he
waited seven months before he informed
councils that one of its members hail
been bribed or an attempt made tu bribe
him. lie replied:
"It Is hard to explain one's conduct,
hut I will say that 1 was reluctant to
to inform on my friend, Mr. Llewellyn,
also I know it would ho hard to provo
such a charge and benco I hesitated."
Councilman Thomas Whoatly, who
created quite a sensation in councils a
month ago, by announcing that he had
been offered a bribe of $5,000 if ho
would vote for an ordinance granting
the Seranton Traction Company a fran
chise to operate a road within the limits
of tho city of Wilkesbarre, was next
asked to tho stand.
Ho testified that ho met Attorney
John M. Carman, counsel for the Scran
ton Traction Company, in an eating
saloon in the city. Carman asked him
how much he would take for his vote.
Witness asked the attorney how muoh
he would give. Mr. Uartnan said 9000.
Witness said it was not as much as the
other side was paying.
'-'Eight hundred dollars is the price
the other side is paying."
Witness admitted that lie said this for
a joke more than anything else. Mr.
Carman said he wanted another vote iu
councils and would be willing to give
§I,OOO for it. lie also told tin) witness
that if the franchise was secured that
ho (the witness) might get §5,000.
Mr. Carman tostiiied before the com
mittee last ovoning. lie dented the
story as told by Wheatly. Ho said he
never sent for Wheatly, the latter came
to him and said the people of his district
favored the new company, but that tho
other side were offering §S()0 for a vote.
Mr. Carman said his company had no
bribe money to offer. The other sjdn
was rich and probably could offer large
sums. Wheatly had nothing further to
say and loft Mr, Carina"'s company.
Other councllmnn testified that they
had received no offers for thoir votes.
