No other particulars were ascertained by the Coroner's jury, excepting that the burial had been made by a foreigner named Steve, but whose last name can not be learned. Steve was seen carrying the body and was accompanied by several other foreigners at the time. No effort at concealment was made by the party and it is possible that the child died a natural death. The fact that Steve cannot be found, however, adds to the suspicion in the case.

Big Merger is Planned It is leaned from authoritative sources that the Pennsylvania Coal and Coke company will take one more gulp and swallow the holdings of the Beech Creek people. Negotiations looking to this end have been going on for months and have repeatedly been denied. It is true that unless something at present unforeseen happens that the Pennsylvania people will in the near future control the Beech Creek lands. The exact terms of the transaction which involves over 12,000 acres cannot be learned. It is indicated that there will be a merger, not a sale. That some sort of a deal just has been consummated, is true beyond a doubt. Gallitzin Youth Arrested Officers in the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad company Saturday arrested a Gallitzin boy, Harry Nagle, aged 15 years, charged with throwing two switches on the Cresson & Coalport branch of the road, thereby endangering the lives of passengers and almost causing [the rest of the line is blotted out] company's property. The offense makes him liable to a fine of not more than $40,000 and imprisonment for not more than 10 years. Nagle has confessed to throwing the switches. He committed the act the evening of Sunday, April 17. By throwing the affairs he opened the main track of the branch mentioned to a siding. Monday as the regular passenger train was passing it ran in on the siding and struck a car of lime standing there. Had it not been for the fact that the engine was moving slowly a serious accident would have occurred. Officers Hetrick, Snyder and Parrish took the boy to Johnstown Saturday and he was given a hearing by Alderman W. J. Lamberd. After telling a series of falsehoods which would have done credit to Ananias it is said the youth confessed and was held to answer the charge at the June term of court. Suit Over Patton Lot Monday afternoon the Chest Creek Land & Improvement Company, with offices at Patton, instituted an action of ejectment against Patrick Lynch of Patton, to recover the possession of a lot of ground in that place. Some years ago, Mr. Lynch purchased the lot from the plaintiff in this action on the installment plan, agreeing to pay therefore the sum of $150, $5 of which was paid in cash at the time of executing the agreement and the balance was to be paid in monthly payments of $10 each. The plaintiff company now complains that the agreement with Lynch was entered into on the 14th of April, 1898, and that Lynch ceased to make further payments on his lot after the agreement was made. The lot fronts on McGee avenue 50 feet and extends back 140 feet and is a valuable lot today. Miner Badly Injured A. J. Anderson who is employed in Pardee No. 5 Mine of the Beech Creek Coal & Coke Company at Patton and who resides about a mile up Chest Creek, was seriously injured the other day by a fall of rock. He was crushed about the chest and had three ribs broken, one of the broken ribs penetrating the right lung. The attending physicians say that if no complications set in Mr. Anderson will survive his injuries. Gallitzin Store Manager Resigns John Basal who has been manager of the Mountain Supply Company's No. 2 store at Gallitzin for three years past has handed in his resignation to take effect May 1st.

The summer school idea has found a congenial atmosphere here and the entire population has come to have a genuine interest in the success of the project. The management has from the first been both optimistic and enthusiastic. Whatever misgivings may have existed at the first owing solely to the magnitude of the undertaking, have given away to a feeling of confidence. There is no doubt but that all comers will be cared for and that was the only difficulty found from the beginning. The Mountain Summer assembly as the school is titled, opens July 11 and continues until Aug. 6. The school is under the general direction of the department of public instruction and is one of the three conducted this season in different parts of the state. When State Superintendent Schaeffer determined to establish a new school he selected Ebensburg on account of the natural advantages of the place. The school, while open to the general public, is intended chiefly for teachers, not to prepare them for examinations but to give them at the expense of the state an opportunity to come into professional contact with strong men and women, to see and hear something from masters in the education field, to study a little, to relax and recreate some, to build up nervous energy for the next term and to be endowed with new inspiration and stronger personalities by contact with teachers of extraordinary ability. The faculty has been carefully selected and consists of specialists for each course. The course of study and the faculty are as follows: History and Civics - Dr. S. D. Fess of Chicago University and the Rev. A. A. Lambing of Pittsburg. German, Latin and Greek - Prof. W. F. Long of the Johnstown High School. Prof. Long is a graduate of Franklin and Marshall College, has taken a course in German at the University of Chicago and has taught that subject in the Johnstown High School for seven years. Elocution and Physical Culture - Miss Mary Brevard Roberts of Philadelphia. Mathematics - Instructor not yet secured. Primary Methods - Miss Lillian W. Pierce, principal of the model school of the West Chester State Normal. Geography - Mrs. Mary G. Noss of California State Normal School. Vocal Music - T. L. Gibson of Ebensburg. Pedagogy and Psychology - Dr. T. B. Noss of the California State Normal School. Elementary Science and Nature Study - Prof. William A. Buckhout, Dean of School of Agriculture, State College, Pa. Drawing, Painting and Blackboard Sketching - Prof. David Emmeret of Juniata College, Huntingdon, Pa. Photography - Louis L. Emmeret of Juniata College Literature - Prof. E. H. Green of West Chester Normal School. Besides the faculty a corps of special lectures has been secured and includes such names as Dr. Lightner Witmer; Dr. Isaac Sharpless; Dr. S. D. Fess; the Rev. T. C. Bilheemer; Prof. Leon Prince; Dr. Strafford and the Rev. Frank Dixon. Making Many Improvements Maple Park Springs, the well known summer resort here owned by D. E. Park, will open for the reception of guests June 3d and enough applications are already in to tax the capacity of the house. The name of the resort will be changed, it is understood, to the Ebensburg Inn. M. S. Butterworth, who is well and favorably known to Ebensburg people through his former connection with the Mountain House here, and who has been for some time conducting the Bolton House at Harrisburg will have charge of Mr. Park's resort the coming season. He was in Ebensburg the other day looking over the place, which is undergoing extensive improvements. Among these betterments is the installation of an eighty horsepower boiler and ninety radiators to heat the hotel by steam; a new nurses' dining room has been erected on the north side of the building and the whole house is being repainted. Among noticeable improvements is the cutting down in some places as much as three feet of Belmont Hill so as to lessen the grade going up to Maple Park, the roadbed to the top of Belmont Hill will be covered with limestone chips, the roadbed across the new stone bridge is about completed and altogether great changes have been made in the surroundings of Maple Park Springs which add considerably to its beauty. In all about thirty-five men are engaged in making improvements about Maple Park. Patton Brewery Nearly Ready Work on the new brewery at Patton is progressing rapidly and if nothing unforeseen occurs, brewing will commence in about two months. Competent judges who have inspected the plant pronounced it the most complete construction and with a capacity to partially supply the needs of the Patton people during the dry season. The machinery installed is of modern construction and the best that could be purchased. Almost Past Fixing The worst injured man in the world who lives to tell his story resides in Altoona. His name is Alfred Campbell and he supports a wife and four children.
