Within the shadow of the old Hollywell paper mill Tuesday afternoon a weird ceremony, the chief actors In which were members of the famous Lovell gypsy tribe, of Elizabeth, -N. was enacted.

Last November Seth Lovell, a leader of tbe tribe, died In a Philadelphia hospital, leaving a portion 'of his worldly possessions In Chambersburg. It was for destroying these possessions his wife, Rhoda, and her nephew and niece, Mr. and Mrs. William Smith Israel, Smith, and Lovell's adopted son, came to Cnam-bersburg this Immediately upon the arrival of the party here they made their way to the carriage shop of Lemuel King, where Lovell's van. In which he had made many trips, had been stored for the winter.

The wagon was taken to Hollywell and there, with many of tbe dead man's belongings, was coyered with kerosene and set on fire. The ceremony was not without Its pathetic features. On a small bank near the burning wagon the gray haired partner of the dead gypsy sat and wept out her grief, calling him her "dear Seth," bemoaning her loneliness In the world and wishing that she might join him, assenting her readiness to die. The wagon offered up as a sacrifice and testimonial of her affection cost $1500 and it contained articles of the husband that made the total value of the burning property J2000. William Smith, tbe nephew, had charge ot the ceremony, although the wife kept a watchful eve trom her seat on the bank that there should be no hitch In the program and that all of her husband's belongings be destroyed.

Tbe wagon was a substantial vehicle built ot the best material and of excellent design. Previous to going to their camp the gypsies had obtained a large quantity of kerosene and It was poured bountifully on the Inside and outside of the wagon.
