Unr Xrw Murhtne. We are pleased to announce the thousands of readers of The Independent that we have added a i Mergenthalor Junior typesetting ma-1 chine to the already extensive outfit! of this office. The machine is in no-j sition and we are receiving our first I instructions on it through Mr. A. 51.

Smith, of New York. All you have to do is to operate a set ot keys similar to the typewriter and the brass matrixes fall into place and thd line of type is cast on a solid piece of lead. Of course there are very many points to learn yet before we are able to master the ma- hino, but we hope to print our pa-1 per next ween entirely irom type cast by the machine. The first column on fourth page, as also this item, is the product of the machine. Editor.

Was a Prominent Retired Bnclielor Farmer-His Two Sisters Also Pos-pned, Though Did not Kesnlt Seriously- New Chester, Sept. 26. Frederick Snyder, a prominent retired farmer, residing at the edge of New Castle, Adams county, tit 3 o'clock Tuesday morning- after severe suffering from Monday morning, and all appearances and. symptoms indicate that his death was due to poison introduced into his system by the coffee which he diank at breakfast on Monday morning. Mr.

Snyder, who was very fond of coffee, drank heartily of the beverage at the Monday morning meal. His sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Baker," who kept house for Mr. Snyder, and Mrs. Katharine "Wagner, -another sister, who resides nearby, ate breakfast with their brother and also drank of the coffee, but not so copiously as Mr.

Snyder. Shortly after breakfast, Mr. Snyder and the two ladies became ill. They availed themselves of household remedies, however, and deferred summoning a physician, expecting the trouble to pass over. At supper Mr.

Snyder again drank coffee, when he became seriously ill. Br. David Melhorn, of New Chester, was called, who in turn summoned Dr. E. E.

Spoils, of Hamilton, for consultation, and both physicians pronounced the cases as due to poisoning from the coffee which was drunk. The united efforts of both physicians proved fruitless in saving Mr. Snyder's life, which lied at o'clock Tuesday morning. The two ladies were, by proper treatment, brought around safely. Deceased was aged about 65 years.

He was a retire farmer and was a director of the Farmers' and Merchants' bank, of New Oxford. He is survived by three sisters Mrs. Sophia Shull, Mrs. Katharine Wagner and Mrs. Elizabeth Baker.

It is not known where the coffee used was purchased. The kettle in which is was cooked was much woi and the bottom scaled off, so that the may have been the result of tin or lead poisoning. The coffee left was thrown away, so that no analysis could be made. Death of Philip Sterner. Hanover, Sept.

The gentleman was born and raised in this vicinity and is consequently well known by our people. His many friends here are enthusiastic in -their efforts to give him one of the largest votes that has been accorded any candidates for some years. In fact we hear it estimated that he will lead his competitor at the polls here in the Lower End at the rate of about two to one.

Should this be the case, which we bave no good reason to doubt, the gentleman will be elected by at leaBt 300 majority. By reason of the placing of the new Merganthaler typesetting machine into our oince this week we are somewhat handicapped in our efforts to secure the regularquota of local news, though we are very little behind the usual amount. Next week we hope to have our typesetting done on the new machine and will gradually increasa on the supply of local and general county happenings. This new machine does the work of five hands and we will be able to print the latest happenings up to the hour of going to press. As soon as we get to op perating the machine farely well we will be pleased to extend an invitation to everybody to call and see the wonderful machine at work.
