Saturday - May 21, 1904
FOUND UNCONSCIOUS
Harvey HOFFMAN, a sixteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. William HOFFMAN,
residing one mile north-east of East Greenville, was rendered unconscious on Monday
while plowing and remains in that condition to the present time. The boy was
plowing in one of his father's fields and was found in an unconscious
condition. The exact cause of the accident is a mystery, for no one witnessed it and
ever since the accident the boy has not gained consciousness, therefore can not
explain it. The supposition is that the boy was fixing the clevis on the plow
and was standing right back of the horses when one kicked him and rendered
him unconscious, after which they started to run away. The reason for thinking
so is that the clevis was found lying on the ground alongside of the boy. As
soon as found he was carried into the house and Dr. J.G. HERSH, of East
Greenville, was summoned. The doctor has applied different restoratives but up to this
date he has been unable to the unfortunate boy. At times he will gain semi-consciousness but only for a short time.

evening killed as was also a strange pug dog with him. At about 10 o'clock that
evening these dogs raised a noise in the street near Mr. WEYAND's home and upon
investigation "Jimmie" was found lying in the gutter showing signs of great
pain and the other strange dog was slowly walking away. Mrs. WEYAND and her
neighbors felt alarmed, on account of the queer movements of the dog, lest the
strange dog had hydrophobia and had bitten "Jimmie." Harvey SWENK then shot both dogs with a revolver.
SAILOR SAW ALLENTOWN'S SIGHTS AND LOST PURSE
Raymond A. PACKARD, a sailor, recently discharged from the navy, met a young

third annual commencement of our borough High School will be held in Odd Fellows'
Hall, this evening. The class consists of but three members, but although
small in numbers it is not lacking of ambition and scholarship. With a devotion
appropriate to older and more experienced persons, they have exerted their
utmost powers to complete the prescribed course of our schools in the shortest
possible time, and their efforts have been crowned with abundant success. An
elaborate program, appearing in another column of this issue, has been prepared
for this evening and our people should not fail to be present. The music will be
furnished in part by the public schools and in part by the choir of St.
Mark's church, all under the supervision of Geo. W. WELKER. Prof. A.C. ROTHERMEL,
principal of the Normal School at Kutztown, will deliver the address. This is
the third class graduated under the supervision of our present principal, the
three classes making a total of twelve graduates. No commencements were held in
our schools prior to their introduction by principal HUTTEL and as the
exercises heretofore never failed to be interesting, entertaining and instructive,
all who are interested in popular education can feel assured that the exercises
of this evening will not fall short of the high standard previously attained

district conferences, the
Board, the Charity Fund, the Literary Fund,
the Board of Publication and several
committees. On account of pressure of
business some matters had to be
deferred to the fall conference. The Ladies'
Aid Society generously furnished a lunch
at the
thanks of the members of the conference. The
gathering was in many respects an
unusual one, partly on account of the good
attendance, but mainly on account of
the work done. Among the points of interest
may be mentioned the following:
Total membership, 635. Increase during the
year 1903, 46. Total amount raised
during year 1903 for all purposes, $3560.64.
Pupils in Sunday school, 871.

Valuation of Charity Fund, $7,789. The
report of the Mission Board showed that
during the year money was sent to
and girls. Miss Flora K. HEEBNER was engaged
during the period since September,
1903, as home missionary in

also stood ready to give to Rev. JOHNSON, of
the
fellowship worth $750 in order that he might
continue his historical researches
under Dr. HARTRANFT's direction and served
as assistant editor on the Corpus. The
conference voted to Rev. JOHNSON and the
moderator, Dr. James M. ANDERS, generously
gave assent and stands ready to
sacrifice for the general good. Rev. JOHNSON
will probably sail for
to enter upon his responsible duties. H.W.
KRIEBEL, secretary for the upper
district, laid before the Conference copies
of his book, "The Schwenksfelders:
A Historical Sketch." The Conference
expressed appreciation by adoption a
series of resolutions by a rising vote. The
Conference adjourned to meet the third
Monday in October,
THIEVES STEAL CIGARS
The cigar factory of John LEH, of
visited by thieves who carried away about
five hundred unpacked cigars. The evil
doers gained entrance through a window and
when once inside they helped
themselves to what they found. Besides
taking about five hundred cigars the thieves
took along a few old lace curtains and
dishes used as playthings by Mr. LEH's
children in the factory. During the same
night and most assuredly by the same
thieves Henry S. MUMBAUER, a cigar
manufacturer, of Pennsburg, was robbed of
about seven hundred cigars. Mr. MUMBAUER has
his factory on the second floor in
his barn and with the aid of a pick the door
was forced and entrance gained.
The cigars were packed in boxes but not yet
stamped. The former factory has been
robbed of cigars before and the supposition
is that the same party did the
work. There is no clue to the thieves.
SURPRISE PARTIES
A surprise party was tendered Miss Ella
HEADMAN, of

chickens that lay eggs of
eggstraordinary size. He recently measured
one that was 6 1/2 by 8 inches and another
that was 6 3/4 and 7 1/2 inches. These eggs
were laid by the common chickens,
but the fact that they were laid on
republican soil may have something to do
with the extra size.
TRAINED TURTLE GREW VICIOUS

SWALLOWED DIAMOND
Paul CLARKSON who poses as a prize fighter, was operated on in jail at
Galveston, Texas, and a diamond valued at $250 was taken from his stomach. CLARKSON
was arrested on a charge of having stolen the diamond from a prominent citizen
of Galveston. He had taken passage on a Mallory steamer for New York when the
officers went after him and took him off the boat. He showed fight and when
searched at the station did not have the stone. He said he had swallowed it in
the excitement attending his arrest. The police would not credit the statement
and subjected him to severe sweating for two days. He complained of suffering
and finally it was decided to try and locate the diamond with an X-ray
machine. When the shadowgraph was developed it showed the stone imbedded in a cavity
of the stomach. Its owner paid for the medical services and withdrew the
several charges entered against the thief, who is recovering.
WOMAN COMES FROM GERMANY TO MEET HUSBAND
A poor woman from Germany arrived in Allentown on the immigrant train on
Tuesday morning to surprise her husband who came to this country several months
ago, and who she supposed was prospering. He had no knowledge of her coming.
When the woman arrived at her husband's boarding place she received the sad
intelligence that the man, being unable to find profitable employment, had sailed
for home several days ago. This unexpected news almost prostrated the
unfortunate woman, who had only sufficient funds to return to New York, which she did on the next train.

seven feet, eight inches and six feet, ten inches respectively. While

AN ANCIENT DEED
A deed for 200 acres of land in Moreland township, from William WALTON to his
son, Jeremiah WALTON, has just been placed on record. The consideration was
twenty pounds. The deed was handsomely engrossed on a fine piece of parchment,
after the custom of that day. The date is August 12, 1720. A peculiarity of
the deed is the acknowledgement which was not taken until 2d-mo, 9, 1750, when
that of one of the subscribing witnesses, Joseph GRIFFITH was made use of, the
grantor being dead. The acknowledgement recites that GRIFIFTH saw William
WALTON sign and deliver the deed, etc. The other witnesses were Henry ENGLISH and
Thomas WALMSLEY. There is a character between the works "Henry" and "English,"
which might be take for an "H," but close scrutiny shows it to be the "mark"
of the witness who probably could not write.
A DRIVING ACCIDENT AT SCHWENKSVILLE
Garret S. CLEMENS and family, of Lederachville, had a narrow escape from
injury last Thursday while driving through Schwenksville. When passing along the
turnpike in front of the Schwenksville National Bank, a train approached and
the puffing of the engine scared Mr. CLEMENS' horse who started to run away. Not
being able to control the animal Mr. CLEMENS steered him towards a post and a
collision was the result. The occupants were thrown out and no one was
seriously hurt. Only slight scratches and bruises being the result. The wagon was
upset and broken and the harness was torn. The animal was caught by people who witnessed the accident.

Burglars on Tuesday night forced open the front door of the watchmaker shop

mandolin. The barber shop of Martin L. KREMSER was also burglarized and a pipe
and a package of tobacco were stolen. Last week about a dozen valuable watch and
hunting dogs were poisoned, and it was predicted that the poisoning of these
dogs would be followed by a series of robberies. Among the dogs poisoned was a
valuable pointer belonging to Station Agent D.R. MILLER and a watch dog the property of H.W. JARRETT.
HORSES RUN AWAY WITH A SPRING HARROW
Oswin MARKS, of Hosensack, had an exciting experience this week while
harrowing with two horses in a spring harrow. The horses became scared and ran away.

John ROSENBERGER, of Milford Square, had a narrow escape from serious injury
on Saturday while harrowing. He had three horses hitched to a spring harrow on
which he was seated. The horses became excited and in their endeavors to get
away the three were thrown on the harrow. For sometime Mr. ROSENBERGER was
lodged between the horses and harrow and the position was a thrilling one. Help
soon arrived and he was secured from this perilous position. A bruised leg was
the only injury to Mr. ROSENBERGER. The harness was badly torn, but the horses escaped injury.
