Charles Hermany, a native of Lynn township Lehigh County, a Past President of the American Society of Civil Engineers and a number of engineering clubs died at Louisville, last week, at the age of years.

Mr. Hermany was the typical example of the progressive Pennsylvania German boy, who, by persistent deterniinatioa a-5 a poor fanner's son, climbed from the foot of the ladder to become one of the foremost civil engineers in this country, and was honored by hid professional brethren by making him Presidf-nt of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Born in Lynn township, October 0, Mr. Hermany was the son of Samuel and Salome' (Wanneniacher) Hermany. His father and mother were of French.

German and English extraction, whose ancestors came to Lehigh County in 1720 and 1740. He attended the district school and attended two terms at Minerva Seminary. Easton. when his finances became exhausted, and he returned to his father's farm where he worked In the summer time and tavght school during the winter for a period of three years While employed on the farm at odil times, practiced civil engineering in his father's fields and studied persistently his favorite subject at every possible opportunity. In May, he determined to go West, and located at where, in a year's time, he became first assistant to the City Engineer.

Hearing of an opening at the works of the Louisville Water Company, he went to that place in 1S57 and became first assistant to T. R. Scowden, the chief engineer of the works. January 1, 1S61, Mr. Hermany became the chief engineer and superintendent of the works, a position which he held until the time of his death, a period of 47 years.

It Is rarely that engineers have remained with one concern for forty years, but so familiar had i become with the situation at hat he was indispensable.

the Hotel Walton last evening Hon. Fred E. Lewis entertained the candidates of the two political parties at the next municipal election at a dinner with the object of arranging with the newspapermen of the city who were also present for the conduct of a clean campaign. The dinner was a delightful affair and was participated in by the following candidates: Hon. Fred E.

Lewis, A. L. Reichenbach, James Hausnuin, Abandon S. Mover. W.

L. BlaekmunJ Edwin Snyder, and the following newspapermen: George Zimmerman, E. T. Quinn and Hrittain G. Roth, of the Chronicde; George R.

He said t'. been the idea with City Treastr.v eral weeks befor- He subsequently to Senator Stiles auu anuroved. He regretteu 1 I Stiles had seen fit to remain av. what reason he could not tell. i.

further said that it was with no idea of muzzling the newspapers that this session had been called. Disclaiming a desire for a colorless campaign, he said: "lhings that are legitimate can and should be used. That is all right. If we men have made political mistakes, let them be written up and let the people know them as they have a right to. It us suffer for them as we deserve." Mr.

Reichenbach was then called upon and he said that, in sixteen years' tenure of office he had never i criticised except for the benefit of the office and that he had no reason for thinking the present campaign would he nnv different. He endorsed Mr. Lewis' desire for a campaign that would not bring discredit upon the city and added that the idea had a good precedent in the last mayoralty cam-naip-n wbpn the late Mavor Yost had similar session of candidates and news-'papermen and a cltan campaign was decided upon by the editors of tho i partisan newspapers. This is a piece of unwritten poliilcal hitiory which it proDer to announce now. He regretted that the head of the ticket was present and expressed his hearty 'annroval with the idea.

Mr. Reiehenbaeh's remarks were received with much applause and then his opponent, A. S. Mover, made a characteristic address, expressing his admiration for Mr. Reichenbach and his approval with the idea of the dinner.

Referring to his own campaign be remarked it would be a "die dog nr cat the hatchet" camnaign for him. I but that the good relations existing between him and his opponent would continue in spite of results. Mr. Blackman got out of a sick bed to come to the gathering as he declared he did not want the impression to prevail from his absence that he favored a mud-slinging cam paign. The rse of personalities in a I campaign he deprecated.

"Lots of ma-ilicious stores are brought to a man's 'ears during a political right, but I have I always found it true that a dog that I will bring a bone will also carry one. A malicious story brought to me moans a malicious one carried to my opponent, and probably the same man." John M. Schoudt, the candidate for icitv assessor, had expressed his in-Itention of attending the dinner, but w-as unavoidably absent, and Mr. Lewis made a few complimentary remarks 'about him. Mr.

Snyder, the Republican' candidate, was then introduced. 1 George W. Zimmerman, the edi-'tor of the Chronicle, after being introduced said that up-to-date the news-' papers had been receiving all the 'knocks. IL rail frrther: "We newspapermen feel lie kthe American fleet 'going into battle. We are armed with all calibres of guns from thirteen-'inch down.

If the enemy keeps to using small we will do the same, I but if they open with the thirteen-irch fellows it is folly for us to allow ourselves to be sunk with our ov.n guns inactive. But I feel tiiat it is folly indulge in the so called mud-slinging and it is far from me to assail any man's personal character. I feel the deepest regard for r.U the candidates personally and only politically records ehall rekeive attention." William Rcth laughingly asked how about the thjrd term argument and to this Mr. Lewis replied: "Asr.all me on that point all you like. That is and Mr.

Reichenbach wittily retorted "when that question Is raised it comes pretty clone home to Mr. Hangman and myslf." This was greeted with much laughter, and then George R. Roth, of tne Leader, was called unor. He said that he had hop-ed to pee Senator Stiles present, but that when he had seen the candidate yesterday he had that he would not come because they were trying to play a foxy game upon him. When he replied that Mr.

Renichenbarh and Mr. Haurman were golne lo ho tre he said that they too werr playing a foxy game. "But to come to the Mr. Roth, "the outlook for a mud-slinging campaign is not promising. There is not much reason to fear it.

COMMON PLEAS. Dr. J. Treichler Butz vs. the county of Lehigh, 'lne plaintiff is the county coroner, and claims in this action fees and mileage for holding views in 215 cases of persons who had come to violent death between January 190ti, and June 30, 1907.

Tha law allows the coroner $2.75 for holding a view of tho body of a person and in all of these cases the plaintiff made the views, but old not consider it necessary to hold an inquest. If he held au inquest the fees paid to the jurors would have made the costs a great deal higher. Two of the views he claimed were held at the request of the registrar of deaths of the state, who is directed to order views when death is caused by unlawful or suspicious means. Twenty-six of the deaths occurred at St. Luke's Hospital and the bodies were removed to Northampton county, where they were viewed by the coroner.

The defendant claims that It is not compelled to pay for views held outside of the county lines. Another case, the Rup-pert, was included in the case by mistake. Jury out. Butz for plaintiff; Francis G. Lewis for defendant.

He died shortly after being brought into open air. Shtaszka was one of a crew of men engaged in cleaning the flues. The accident occurred at about four o'clock. Just how he happened to fall into the flues is not known, but as soon as his plight was discovered fresh air was forced into the flies, and vcrk was begun in extricating him.

By the time he was brought out, however, he was in a dying condition, and Dr. Riegei, who had been summoned, could do nothing for him. All attempts at artificial respiration failed.
