MOUNT JOY MOURNS LOSS OVER
REMAINS OF ITS FIRST RE-

BODY ON FRIDAY
More respect and such unanimity
could not have been displayed any-
where than was shown here on Fri-
day during the military funeral of
one of this town’s war heroes and
patriots, First Lieutenant James O.
Newpher, who was killed in France
Sept. 29, 1918.
When President Wilson issued his
first call for volunteers Mr. James O.
Newpher was among the first to ac-
cept. He was sent to an officers
LIEUT. JAMES 0. NEWPHER
training camp, completed his course
of instruction, at Fort Oglethorpe,
Ga., graduating as a First Lieutenant
and was soon thereafter assigned for
duty in the regular army, being as-
signed to the 11th Infantry, Com-
pany C., 5th Division. An account
of his death is best told in a letter
from Lieutenant Burkhart, who was
t the trgining camps at Fort Nia-
gara and Fort Oglethorpe with Lieu-
tenant Newpher and who was with
the same Company in France when
he met his death. His letter follows:
“I was nearly knocked off the
chair last night when I learned
that James Newpher was killed.
His regiment was located quite
close to the boche land, and ever

MUCH DISCUSSION ON
POSTMASTER SITUATION
There is much discussion relative
to the postmastership in many towns
thruout the county just at this time.
The department had advertised that
it would hold examinations at New
Holland on Friday but for some rea-
son or other the Civil service ex-
aminers did not make their ap-
pearance. There were three appli-
cants. Eli Hess was the Wilson ap-
pointee there but the senate refused
to confirm the appointment and since
then Isaac Snader has been appointed
acting postmaster.
In Mount Joy the situation is quite
similar. Months ago Mr. J. Willis
Freed, postmaster here, was ap-
pointed. The senate has also refused
to confirm this appointment and al-
though Mr. Freed’s term has expired,
no acting postmaster has been named
here and he is holding over.
Several weeks ago we published a
list of applicants who are willing to
succeed Mr. Freed. Since then the
name of Dr. John J. Newpher has
been mentioned with much favorable
comment. We understand the doc-
tor’s “hat is in the ring.”

DIED AT HOSPITAL
JACOB WAGNER, A FORMER
RESIDENT, MEETS WITH AN |
ACCIDENT WHILE HERE
ON A VISIT: THAT
CAUSED HIS
DEATH
The many friends of Mr. Jacob
Wagner, of Newark, N. J., formerly
a liveryman and horse dealer of this
place, will regret to learn that he
died at St. Joseph’s Hospital, at Lan-
caster yesterday as the result of an
accident.
About two weeks ago he came here
on a brief visit, having been laid off
at Newark. He was on the Musser
farm, tenanted by Mr. Horace Wag-
ner, near Moore's Mill, when he met
with an accident. Mr. Wagner was
driving a pair of horses hitched to
hay hook while unloading hay. The
horses became frightened, ran around
and became entangled in the rope.
The driver was also caught in the
rope and thrown and as he lay on
the ground he was tramped upon by
the horses. A number of ribs were
broken and his one knee was badly
crushed. He injured in-
ternally. He was immediately re-
moved to St. Joseph's Hospital where
death ended his suffering.
Deceased was aged 70 years, and
is survived by his wife and the fol-
lowing children: Charles, Mrs. Frank
Bessley, Mrs. James Quinn, Mrs.
James Comb, Jacob, Fred, Walter
and William all of Newark, N. J.
Also one brother and a sister survive:
David Wagner, of Lancaster, Mrs.
Webster Hake of Starview, York, Pa.
The body will be brought here for in-
terment on Saturday forenoon with
services at the undertaking parlor of
H. C. Brunner at 10:30 o’clock. In-
terment in the Eberle cemetery.
