Confusion Ends New Year's Party A wild confusion among patrons terminated a New Year's party at the Old Mill inn, Susquehanna trail, between 2 and 3 o'clock Wednesday morning. It resulted in the loss or theft of wearing apparel, including a Persian fur coat va.lued at $400 and, according to unconfirmed reports, in some black eyes and bruised faces. Jack Anderson, proprietor of the inn, was unavailable for comment and inquirers were advised to find him for details and information on the incident, or perhaps a.

multiplicity of them. Employes of the inn admitted that there was "some disturbance" but they said they were advised to refer all inquiries to Mr. Anderson. He was reported to have gone to his "home near East Berlin," but inquiries in that vicinity revealed that he had moved to the inn. State police arrived on the scene after they heard rumors of an alleged riot.

When they observed that "things were pretty well smoothed out," they departed. Information available today indicated that approximately 300 patrons had made reservations at tables to participate in the New Year's party. There was order throughout the celebration until a number of patrons "rushed" the hat check girls and removed garments from their custody. Soon, it was learned, others joined in the mixup and the result was "nearly every one grabbed something." When the clothing racks were cleaned out nearly every one had some kind of a garment or hat but not his or her own. An attempt was made by some to exchange articles they had for garments which they identified as their own but others refused to surrender them until they found theirs, it was reported, --York Dispatch.

Morgan Smith install his first turbine? What were the earliest beginnings of our company? At least partial answers to these questions are given in conversation and correspondence which the author has had with Birdes A.

Jacobs of East Berlin, who knew Mr. Smith well and whose father, Amos Gise Jacobs, he is positive, bought Mr. Smtih's first experimental Success Runner. It was not a complete turbine that was furnished but only a "runner" or "wheel." Mr. Smith's first efforts and patents were directed toward runner improvements.

Later he developed an improved wheel case of his own for the Success Runner and this case with the Runner became the "Improved Success Turbine." The wheel case for this first Success Runner was made by O. J. Bollinger of York, a competing manufacturer of Turbines and Mill Machinery. The order for the runner and some gears and shafting was dated August 1877 and recorded in our Order Book No. 1 by Mr.

Smith as follows: "Amos G. Jacobs, 1 Success Water Wheel, left hand, 18 inch. 1 pair bevel wheels etc." Later, in Order Book No. 10 is recorded an order dated May 6, 1892, for "1 Pinion for 18" Success Wheel 'with Bollinger Case--send by stage coach to East Berlin care Glatfelter's Store" and below it in red ink "Sent to Marshall Hotel May 13, The turbine was mounted on a plank floor at the bottom of a vertical 15 ft. deep wooden "penstock" about 3 ft.
