LEONARD CASE FORTUNE A special from Cleveland, Ohio, dispatch from Y. to the effect that a family was about to lav claim to the $30,000,000 estate of Leonard Case, in this city published this morning, caused considerable comment here. While the Case estate is not a myth, and Leonard Case died a bachelor and without a heirs can claim a penny of it.

This decision was made recently by Judge Francis J. Wing, in United States Circuit Court here. Leonard Case, owned largo blocks of real estate in this city, and since his death it has probably enhanced in value so that what was worth twenty years ago $10,000,000 lias now trebled in value. Some time prior to his death Mr. Case conceived a plan of establishing a school for the education of young men in the trades combined with a scientific course for advanced students.

To this purpose his vast fortune was devoted, and the Case School of Applied Science, on Euclid avenue, adjoining Adalbert College, is the result. Nearly all the estate was putin trust by the millionaire for this school, and papers were drawn in sucli a way that not a dollar of the property can be alienated. Long leases can be made and a large part of tlie property is so disposed of as it is in the best residence portion of the city. Case Library, covering an entire block, also belonged to the estate, and it is this property that has caused all tho trouble. It adjoins the postoflice, and when the Government decided upon a new Federal building condemnation proceedings wore brought to secure possession of it.

Of course all the relatives near and distant of Leonard Case had to be notified, and many supposed they had discovered an estate that was to be divided. Lawyers in all parts of the country have appeared in Cleveland to look up tho estate, and several suits have been brought, only to fail. Tho estate was tied up too securely to be broken up, and tho rentals all goto the Case School of Applied Science, a monument to tho philanthrophy of one of Cleveland's early millionaires.

The feast of "Purim" will be celebrated by the Jewish people from March 13th to Aside from the special services held, at this time, the holiday is ouo of rejoicing, and an effort is being made by the Bloomsburg and Danville members of the B'ne Ziou synagogue to givo a Purim ball. A number of years ago it was the custom in this city to give these affairs at every celebration of this holiday, and many of our residents can recall pleasant hours spent at "the Purim balls." At that time tliev were held in the Opera House.

The Purim ball this year will likely be given in tho Armory. It is the intention to decorate on a magnificent scale and a caterer will be procured to furnish supper. The Opera House orchestra, augmented to 12 men will furnish the music. The Farmer's Wife, is very careful about her churn. She scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives it a sun batli to sweeten it.

She knows that if her churn is sour it will taiut the butter that is made in it. The stomach is a churn. In the stomach and digestive and nutritive tracts are performed processes which are exactly akin to the churning of butter. Is it not apparent then that if the stomach churn is "sour" it sours all that is put into it? The evil of a foul breath is not the bad taste in the mouth and the foul breath caused by it, but the corruption of the pure current of the blood and the dissemination of disease throughout the body. Dr.

Pierce's Golden Medic il Discovery makes the sour stomach sweet. It does for the stomach what the washing and sun bath do for the churn absolutely removes every tainting or corrupting element. "Golden Medical Discovery'' contains no alcohol, whiskey or other intoxicants and no narcotic. Summer Dances at Hunter's Park.

THE PRESENT COAL FAMINE What the conditions might have been had President Roosevelt not injected his energetic personality into the anthracite coal dispute can lie conjectured from the conditions that now exist. Despito the tact that mining was resumed in the anthracite region nearly two months before the appearance of rough weather the country is without coal.

Domestic consumers are threatened witli freezing aud factories are closing for want of fuol. The railroads are so pressed with carrying foodstuffs and high-grade freights that coal shipments are uncertain, and even when undertaken are liable to seizure before reaching their destination. Such was the fate of a sidetracked in an Indiana town the other day. From every part of the country there come reports ill 1.111.1,4 the present cold wavo. There will he other such waves, and some of them more during this month and next.

If theshevtago of coal is already menacing to life aud to law and order, what will it he before spring gives relief? What would it have been had not President Roosevelt intervened to end the strike when he did, while there was yet time to get two months' product where it was most needed? The actual conditions confronting the consuming public were forcibly brought home to the investigating commission the other day when one momber hastened away from his untasted luncheon on receiving information from his home that there was not a pound of coal iu the house and 110 prospect of getting any. No doubt these conditions will lend earnestness to the demand that some means be divised for preventing a repetition of struggles like that of last summer. The danger is that general distress before spring may create a domand tor radical and unwise legislation. As for immediate remedies there are none unless the railroads can supply them. Coal can be produced in this region to keep all the dwellings warm if only the railroads were equal to carrying it from mine to consumer.

It is a chilly out-look. Murderers Enjoying Good Health. Murderers John Gulick and Jacob Gearhardt, who are in the Northumberland county jail awaiting their doom, the day of the hanging not having yet been set, are in excellent health and seem little concerned over their fate. They occupy cells 011 the lower tier 011 the penitentiary or west wing of the jail and spend their time reading newspapers and conversing with friends. Both are hopeful of escaping the gallows and the fate of one it is thought wholly depends on the other's life.

The board will send an expert on insanity to the county jail and lie will inquire into the mental condition of Guilck aud his life or death lies in the report of the medical expert.

A story nnparalled in the history of Northumberland county, has jus! been brought to light and shows that soran men are mean enough to rob a man awaiting sentence for murder. Since Judge Savidgo refused murderer Jacob Gorhardt a new trial a death watch, Theodore Lytic, of Sliamokin has been employed. Lytic was somewhat of a politician audit was by this means that he secured his position, if it may be so called. Lytic was iu Sliamokin on New Year's morning and before returning to Sunbury to resume his duties, called at John Schabo's hotel to see if the proprietor had any message to send down to the prisoner. Mr.

Scliabo, who is a man with a kind and generous heart thought that ho would lighten Gerhardt's burden so lie gave Lytic twenty five $1 bills, tolling him to tell Gorhardt to enjoy himself and hear up. Lytic boarded the train for the county seat but never showed up at the jail. Instead, lie went around to Tom Lawler and several other prominent politicians at Sunbury and told them a pitiable story, of how his wife had died the night before and that 110 had no money with which to give her a decnt burial. The men all trusted the man and as his story seemed plausablo they dived deep down into their pockets aud liberally passe up some of their hard earned coin. With tears in his eyes Lytic thanked them and left for Sliamokin, so they thought.

Since that time nothing has been beard of him aud his wife and family are anxious as to his whereabouts. In conversation with one of the men at Sunbury who was fleeced by the absconder's smooth tongue, a representative of the Sliamokin News learned several more interesting facts. Lytic mot his father-in-law, who resides at Dalmatia who had business at the county -at on New Year's day, and told him of his daughter's death. The father hurried to his daughter's home on Market street and was agreeably surprised to see her open the door in answer to his knock. To cap the climax the gonial Tom Lawler sent a wreath of flowers to the house to lie placed on the asket the day of the it is not known whether Tom got his wreal.li back or not.

Many persons think that Lytic has committed suicide as ho had been drinking quite heavily prior to his disappearance. PL4IN TALK" Straight Talk und to the Point The Virtues of Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills told in a Few Word's by a Danville Citizen Who Knows, Mrs.

EX-GOVERNOR HASTINGS DEAD BELLEFONTE, Jan. Governor Daniel H. Hastings, who had been ill with pleuro pneumonia, died at bis home in this place at 10 o'clock Friday morning. Although it was known that General Hastings was a very sick man it was thought that he would pull through. 1 Late Thursday evening, Dr.

Curtiu.of Philadelphia, who was called to consult with Dr. Goorgo F. Harris aud Dr. George B. Klump, of this place, stated that there was a change for the better iu the General's condition.

His breathing was not so labored and while the change was not a decided one, yet it- was enough to give the family and friends some hope of his recovery. General Hastings' daughter, Mis. Ross A. Hickok, of Harrisburg, accompanied by her husband and child, reached Bellefonte late Thursday afternoon and hastened to the bedside of her father. The General's sister, Mrs.

Ella Saltzman, of Lock Haven, was also there. Mrs. Hastings has sent out cards cancelling the invitations to the approaching wedding of her sister, Miss Bella Rankin, to Frank Mc- Failaue, of Boalsburg, which was to have taken place at the Hastings homo next Wednesday evening. Daniel Hartmau Hastings came of that stock that has left such an enduring mark 011 the best pages of American Irish. His father was born in County Derry, Ireland, and his mother in Scotland.

Daniel was horn in a log cabin in Lamar township, Clinton county, about two miles from the village of Rote, on Feb. 1841). He spent his boyhood days with father and brothers, in clearing a farm, driving an ox team, and doing a little lumbering. In his three elder brothers had enrolled themselves among the defenders of their country, and, boy as he was, ho needs follow their example. Partly because of his youth, partly because lie was needed at home, his father would not consent.

He left to join the army but was overtaken at Lock Haven and I brought home, only to make another attempt, this time getting as far as Williamsport before he was captured by his anxious father. A third time he made the trial to get himself enrolled in th ranks of blue, and this time ho succeeded 111 reaching Carlisle and enlisting. He was not long permitted to wear the utiifoim of a full private, for his dream of martial uown was cut short by Pie arrival of his father, who, urging his parental authority, took liim back to his par- I eutal roof. When but fourteen years of age lie learned of a school teacher's position which had become vacant in Wayne township. Clinton county.

Finding favor iu the sight of those who had the making of the appointments, he secured it. but with the condition attached that he should pass an examina' tion Ho walked back to Lock Haven, passed the required examination, received his certificate, and footing it back, was in time to open the school next morning and began his new avo: cation of teaching the young ideas. I For the next four years he taught a school 111 the winter and worked with his father on the farm in the summer. He attended Dickinson seminary, at Williamsport, several terms. All this time he studied untiringly to perfect himself as a teacher, and in lie was elected principal of the Bellefonte High School.

His new honor and its responsibilities impressed him with the need of education iu the higher branches-, and under the tuition of Professor Mundy, of the Bellefonte mastered Greek and Latin. While priucipal of the high school he began his connection with the press as assistant editor of the Bellefonte Republican During this time, too, he studied law, and was admitted to the bar of Centre county in April, 1875, becoming a member of the firm of Bush.Yocum Hastings. In 1877 General Hastings was married to Miss Jane Armstrong Rankin, daugher of the late James K. Rankin. onco a prominent member of the bar of Centre county.

Two daughters were born to the of whom, with Mrs. Hastings, survive. In the campaign of 1882 General Hastings was a warm supporter of the candidacy of General Beaver for governor, and in 188(5 he again presented the name of General Beaver to the Repubilcau convention and success crow 11 ed his efforts. In the following year ho was elected to the chairmanship of the state Republican national convention. In 1888 he was delegate-at-large from Pennsylvania to the Republican national convention at Chicago, and was selected to nominate John Sherman, of Ohio, for the presidency.

At the Republican state convention held in Harrisburg, on May 18SM, General Hastings was nominated for governor of Pennsylvania by Gen. James A. Beaver, aud was elected in November of that year by the unprecedented majority of 241,397. Governor Hastings is a 111111 of pleasing personality, lie wa over MX feet tall, and splendidly proportioned. He was named to.

a pioneer Methodist preacher of Central Pennsylvania- Daniel Hartman. Of late years, and especially during his administration as governor, a strong attachment and friendship existed between Mr. Hastings and the late 11. C. MeCormick.of Williamsport.

These men were about of an age, and it is a singular but sad fact that their deaths should occur with so little time intervening. No man was better known throughout the state than General Hastings. His funeral will be attended by many of the prominent citizens of commonwealth. Every Bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Warranted.

The bishop thereafter had no power to compel him to relinquish his rectorship unless he had or would violate some canon of the church. "Mrs. Emma I). of these defendants, had been a warm jiersonal friend of Dr. Irvine aud was a very generous contributor to the church.

A trouble arose between the rector and her about a claim which a Mr. Warned, of against the church for services rendu led as a choirmaster. Mrs. Elilott testifies that she gave to Dr. Irvim money to pay thy claim and that Irvine instead of paying the claim kept the money.

This circumstance seems to have estranged Mis. Elliott and Dr. Irvine. To that time she was admitted to the communion by Mr. Houghton, the immediate predecessor of Dr.

Irvine, as well as by Dr. Irvine himself. Dr. Irvine then barred Mrs. Elliott from the communion because she was a divorced woman for a reason contrary to the canon of the church.

Correspondence was had between him and the bishop and Mrs. Elliott on the subject. We do no regard this circumstance of materiality in the dctermiii-itioj of this case, although Mrs. Elliott seemed then desirious of having him deposed from the rectorship of this church. Complaints of Dr.

Irvine's conduct were made by her to the bishop. Subsequently a letter was received by the tobesigued by Mrs. Elliott, withdrawing (or practically withdrawing) all complaints she had made against Dr. Irvine, and requesting that lie IK- retained at St. John's church.

"This letter was sent by the bishop to Mr. Elliott, one of the defendants aud the husband of Emma I). Elliott. She denied writing or it. The bishop then wrote her that if she could convince Dr.

Irvine of the forgery of it 1 he would unfrock the 'slimy fellow." This letter is destroyed, and therefore, not produced, hut several witnesses who heard it read testify that that was the of it. A couple of them testify that the bishop in that letter advised the Elliotts to have him convicted. The bishop positively denies that he advised the conviction of Dr. Irvine for that offense. "If this minister of the was guilty of forging that letter, we fail to see why the bishop should be criticised for advising that he be tried in a court of justice, which was the very place to tiy him for forgery, if he were guilty of forgery.

Prosecution for the forgery was advised by Mrs. Elliott's attorney, ex-Judge Williamson a reputable niemlier of the bar. and Mrs. Elliott commenced the ecution. I believe that Mrs.

Elliott was the prosecutrix, although it is not very clearly shown 111 the raw. A preliminary bearing was bail a reputable jnstn eof the peace of this town 011 the 17th of February, lie heard witnesses to substantiate the charge. Dr. Irvine prolu.ed none, neither did lie testify in his own behalf, denying that he was the author of that letter. Bishop Talbot, who received the letter, and Mrs.

Elliott, whose name was attached to it, were necessary witnesses at that hearing. "The justice decided that Dr. Irvine should be held for trial at court. The grand jury returned a true hill. When the cas was called for trial.

Dr. Irvine's counsel, made technical objections to the sufficiency of the indictment by demurrer to it, which, after hearing, were sustained by tiecourt. With that the forgery case ended and not again heard of in any of the which fol lowed, which resulted in the deposilion of tlii- laintifT from th- mini-fry. It cuts no figure in the satmeqiieat It does not appear to have any influence upon the tribunal which subsequently tried Dr Irvine. It is quite probable that in view of the rlations which existed between Mr- Elliott and Dr.

Irvine, her desired his removal from St. church, and it is probable that the view of the rum ujxtu the moral conduct ot this rector apt" inted by lum de-i red that the pastoral relation- 1 dissolved.
