-Yonkers Statesman, LIVED NEARLY A CENTURY Mrs. Anna Maria Meyers Died At Home Of Her Son. HAD 116 LIVING DESCENDANTS 97 Of Them Reside In BaltimoreVigorous And Active, She Gained "Second Sight" At Age Of 90. Mrs. Anna Maria Meyers, 95 years old, who died yesterday at the home her son, Mr.

Frederick Meyers, 1610 Patterson avenue, is survived by 4 daughters, 3 sons, 58 grandchildren and 51 great-grandchildren. Of these 116 descendants, representing three generations, 97 live in Baltimore. If all Mrs. Meyers' children were living and none of their offspring had died the list of direct survivors would aggregate almost 140. She had 11 children, of whom have died.

A number of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren have also died. Mrs. Meyers was born In Bavaria on April 9, 1812, and came to this country when she was 28 years old. She settled in Baltimore, where she lived up to her death. Her husband, Mr.

Charles Bernard Meyers, 8 shoe merchant, died in 1868. Until she was 90 years old Mrs. Meyers was as active as any of her grandchildren and performed light household duties without the least fatigue. She was a skilled needlewoman and spent many hours making clothing for her great-grandchildren. It was not an unusual sight to see four generations represented in a family gathering at the home of Mrs.

Meyers' son. As great-grandmother, Mrs. Meyers often sat in a big arm chair with her son near by. Her son's children, who are middle-aged, brought their children to complete the circle of four generations. At 90 years of age Mrs.

Meyers regalned what is called her "second sight." Since she was 45 years old she had been forced to wear glasses, her weak eyesight being the only serious physical defect she ever had. One day shortly after her nintleth birthday she found that without her glasses the newspaper was as clear as could be desired. An investigation proved that her eyesight was apparently restored, and until her death she read without the assistance of the glasses which had served her for 45 years. Mrs. Meyers was seldom 111 enough to require the attention of a physician.

She WAS robust and active. Plenty of fresh alr kept her in prime health, and her death was sudden. About a week ago she complained that she did not feel as well as usual and she stopped performing light household duties and went to bed. Her condition became worse, and she died from the infirmities of advanced age. She was one of the first members of St.

John's German Lutheran Church, Biddle street, near Pennsylvania avenue. The three sons who survive her are Messrs. Frederick, Henry and Jacob Meyers, all of Baltimore. Mr. Frederick Meyers has 12 children, Mr.

Jacob Meyers 10 and their brother Henry 9. All of these grandchildren of Mrs. Meyers who are married have large families. Except Miss Charlotte Meyers, the surviving daughters are all married and have large families. They are Mrs.

Mary Rupp, Mrs. William Hoerichs and Mrs. John Dennis, of Pittsburg. Mrs. Dennis and her children and grandchildren, who are Mrs.

Meyers' great-grandchildren, number 19. She has nine children, and the offspring of those who are married aggregate nine. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon from her son's home. Rev. P.

A. Hellman, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, will conduct the services. Burial will be in the Western Cemetery. DR.

F. J. WAGNER DEAD Former President Of Morgan College Expires In California. Information was received at Morgan College yesterday that Rev. Dr.

Francis J. Wagner, a former president, had died at Cucamonga, Cal. Dr. Wagner was president of the college for 13 years, from 1888 until 1901. Since the latter date he had been on the retired list of the Baltimore Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Born at Sydney, 'Cape Breton Island, about 70 years ago, Dr. Wagner began his service in the ministry in the New England Conference. After being the pastor of large churches in that conference, he was called to the Hennepin Avenue Church, at Minneapolis. When chosen president of Morgan College he was a presiding elder of one of the districts of the Minnesota Conference. Morgan College took on new life under the management of Dr.

Wagner. The institution, which is for higher education for negroes, was established in 1866, together with other educational institutions, by the Methodist Episcopal Church to mark the centenary of Methodism In America. Until Dr. Wagner took charge the institution was known only as an institute, although the granite building at the corner of Edmondson and Fulton avenues had been built several years before Dr. Wagner 'secured the collegiate charter.

Under his administration the Collegiate and Industrial Institute, at Lynchburg, was founded and is still a part of the college. The industrial school at Princess Anne, which is also part of the college, broadened its scope during Dr. Wagner's administration. During his 18 years in Baltimore Dr. Wagner made many friends, and when he finally went to California to live on a ranch on account of ill health he was given a hearty farewell.

His home was at Roland Park, the same which Dr. Van Meter, the dean of the Woman's College, now occupies. Miss Emelia Wagner, his daughter, was graduated from the Woman's College and is a worker in the slums in New York. A son, Mr. Robert Wagner, lives in the West.

Dr. Wagner also leaves a widow. BODY ARRIVES AFTER DELAY Telegram Of Notification Of Death Sent To Wrong City.

A brief telegram from New York received by the dead man's brother, Mr. Henry C. Hitchcock, stated that the New York Typographical Union would send the body to Baltimore. Besides his mother and brother, Mr. Hitchcock is survived by several sisters.

At the home of the mother last night It was stated that little was known of the son's marital relations. At the time of his visit here last summer it was not known to thom, they say, that he had married. Little is known of the wife. An opiumsmoking "layout" was found in the rooms of the couple and it is said that in addition to jealousy a reason assigned by the woman for her deed was the fact that her husband contemplated sending her to a sanitarium to be cured of the drug habit. BOY'S DOG KEPT VIGIL Boy Master Was Shot, And He Re- mained On The Spot.

Without food for 30 hours, snarling at passers-by and with no thought of reward, a small dog belonging to Walter Strack, 13 years old, 1607 Olive street, who was shot Tuesday by Harry Smith, 18 years old, 1503 Hanover street, was found late yesterday afternoon guarding a pool of blood from its little master's wounds. When the shooting occurred in the rear of Geise's lumber yard at Brooklyn, Anne Arunuel county, the boy was carried to the office of a nearby physician. The noise of the shot scared the dog. After recovering from its fright it sought its master, who was not to be found. By strange instinct It located the pool of blood and then began its gruesome vigil.

Several citizens of Brooklyn noticed the dog and were struck by its peculiar actions. Late yesterday afternoon Mr. Edward Strack, the father of the boy, while returning from Brooklyn, where he attended the hearing of Smith, stopped where the shooting occurred, and was greeted affectionately by the dog. After much persuasion the dog followed Mr. Strack home.

It WAS said at the Strack home last night that while the dog had eaten ravenously, it has shown a spirit of unrest and discontent. It has investigated all the hide-and-seek places in search of little Strack. When one of the Strack boys was asked the breed of the dog he replied it was of no particular breed, but was "only dog." Young Strack is in a critical condition at the City Hospital, where he was taken shortly after the shooting, and is not expected to live. Smith was given a heaing at the Juvenile Court, and was turned over to the Anne Arundel county authorities, in charge of Patrolman Hawkins. He was given another hearing at Brooklyn, and Justice a Gisreal committed him to the St.

Mary's Industrial School, to await the result of Strack's in- juries. WILL GET FRANKLIN'S GIFT Mrs. Weightman Walker's Generosity Makes Bequest Valid. Philadelphia, Nov. a memorial to her father, who for years was interested in scientific research, Mrs.

This prophecy was voiced last night before the Twentieth Century Club by Mrs. garet Deland, of Boston. "Divorce is supreme individualism," said Mrs. Deland, "and that individualism, with the divorce law it has engendered, is aiming at free love under the cover of chastely worded expressions regarding affinities."

Magistrate Thinks He Has Not Enough Evidence. WITNESSES TELL OF SHRIEKS Two Men Are Supposed To Have Drowned And Mate Has Disappeared.

The crew of the oyster pungy Maid of Erin, from which two oystermen were drowned Sunday night, were arrested yesterday by Patrolman Cotter and given a hearing before Justice Thompson last night at the Canton Police Station. Despite the fact that at least a dozen witnesses testifled that they heard cries of "Murder "Help and "For God's sake, don't do that again all the members of the crew who were aboard the vessel when the men were drowned stated that they did not hear the cries. As the Canton police were unable to get any statement from any of the men that anything like a brawl occurred on the vessel Sunday night, Magistrate Thompson dismissed the men. However, Charles Hansen, the owner of the Maid of Erin, was present at the hearing, and said that he would keep the police in touch with the movements of the vessel, should they want the men again. "Gus" Knitter, the mate, who mysterlously disappeared from the pungy Monday night, after returning to the vessel when released by the police, bad not been 10- cated up to a late hour last night.

From the testimony it appears that Knitter was the only man who was on deck with Daniel Cronin, the man who is said to have been drowned after 10 o'clock, when Knitter said he carried him from the cabin to the deck, where he left him lying near the hatch. The police of Canton and the Eastern district have been on the lookout for him, and search wag made for him yesterday and last night along the water front. Said All Hands Were Drunk. Capt. Andrew Steidle was the first witness called.

He said he dropped anchor off the Canton elevator about 5 P. M. Sunday. Supper, he said, was immediately served, after which he turned in for the night. He also said that all the members of the crew had been drinking heavily from the time they left Federal fats that afternoon, and when anchor was cast all hands were nearly drunk.

The other members of the crew were somewhat reticent when questioned by the magistrate. They all said they were drunk and turned Into their bunks about 6 P. M. The cries which persons heard at the Canton elevator and the shore a mile away, they declare, were not heard by any of them. There is only one exception, and that is Michael Barry.

Barry said that he happened on deck after 6 o'clock and heard two faint cries. He said he ran to the cabin and told Mate Knitter there was a man overboard. The mate, he said, tried to save Patrick Coffey, who, he declared, was drowning. None of the other men admitted having any recollection of seeing Cronin after the vessel anchored in Canton. Those who were arrested are Capt.

Andrew Steidle, 121 North Rose street; Cook James Brown, of New York; Frank Owens, of Covington, Michael Barry and Patrick Keys, of this city, and James O'Brien, of South River, N. J. Heard Cries For Help. The most important witness at the hearing was Mr. William J.

Abern, a watchman at the elevator. Mr. Ahern said that about 6.30, when he was making his rounds, his attention was suddenly attracted by shouts and cries. "I distinctly heard a voice cry 'Murder 'Police and 'For God's sake, don't do that again he testified. "I heard someone shout, 'Shut your mouth, you The cries and rumpus--for it seemed to me there was an altercation somewhere -could be plainly heard." The other witnesses testifled that they heard the same cries, and Andrew Stenger, who rowed out to the boat, asserts that they lasted for at least 20 minutes.

Mr. Charles W. Clark, one of the witnesses, said that he heard the cries for at least 15 minutes. He could not understand why the crew could not save the drowning man while he floated for this length of time near the schooner. The cries were heard between 6 and 7 P.

during which time it is said that Patrick Coffey was drowned. "Gus" Knitter was apparently the only man who saw Cronin after Coffey is said to have drowned. The police are inclined to entertain the theory that probably Cronin and Coffey got into an altercation and fell overboard, but no one seems to have seen either one when they fell in the water. Bodies Not Yet Recovered. Until the recovery of the bodies there will Marks of probably violence be no further investigation.

Dispatch to the Baltimore Roanoke, Nov. St. Andrew's Catholic Church yesterday was celebrated the twenty-flfth anniversary of the frst mass held in Roanoke. The church was packed when high mass was celebrated by J. W.

Lynch, who 25 years ago celFather ebrated the first mass in a passenger coach of the Norfolk and Western Railroad. The sermon was preached by' Bishop P. J. Donahue, of Wheeling, W. Va.

There was a fine musical program, and the new pipe organ, which cost $4,000, was used for the first time. Bishop Van de Viver, of Richmond, attended the celebration, and there were a number of priests present. Father Jenkins, of Wytheville, was master of ceremonies. In the afternoon, the children of St. Andrew's school celebrated.

Brief addresses were made, after which medals commemorative of the event were presented to the children. The medals are of aluminium. On one side is a passenger coach, with "First Mass in Roanoke," and on the re verse a representation of the handsome church of today, with "St. Andrew's Church, Roanoke, November 19, 1907." At night the adult members of the church assembled at St. Andrew's Hall, where a purse was presented to Father Lynch.

The growth of the Catholic Church in Roanoke has been remarkable. Twenty-five years ago today Father Lynch, then a young man, who had been a missionary in six counties of the valley, came to the village then known as Big Lick. At his Arst mass in the passenger coach there were only 15 Catholics, and only one of that number resides in Roanoke today. The next Sabbath the small congregation occupied Rorer Hall, which was the first public hall in Roanoke. As the membership increased a brick church was erected on the site of the present church and was occupied for the first time in 1883.

On October 28 of that year it was dedicated by Bishop Keane, of Richmond. The membership grew so rapidly that in 1900 Father Lynch decided that another church should be built. The plans were drawn, and without any building committee Father Lynch employed the late John J. Gary and work was commenced on the beautiful structure of today which cost about $110,000. The cornerstone was laid by Bishop Van de Vyver, of Richmond, on December 2, 1900, and It was dedicated on November 30, 1902, with the sermon by Bishop Donohue.

In addition to the church building the Catholics of Roanoke have erected a large orphanage and school, under the direction of the Sisters of Charity, which has 400 pupils. CAMPBELL-ALEXANDER. Dispatch to the Baltimore Leesburg, Nov. 20. Harry Lee Campbell, of Denver, formerly of Clarksburg, W.

They will reside in Denver, Cot SPIRIT OF THE PRESS Subjects Under Discussion By The Journals Of The Land. the New York A good deal is put up to "the the second letter which President Roosevelt has addressed to retary Cortelyou since the panic, which has already come to be identified with the Administration's name, broke over the country less than a month ago. The first epistle charged the panic up to "a matter of speculation," and the second epistle, no less than the first, saddles the public with the responsibility.

Unquestionably it is very needful that "our citizens" should realize the fundamental soundness of business conditions. It Is quite as needful that the Government should realize it, even at this belated date. No doubt the citizens begin now to appreciate "how absurd It is to permit themselves to get into a panic," but is It so absurd, after all, considering their opportunitles for infection from an Administration that has been in a panic about business even before it began to be an administration? If "there is no particle of risk involved" for the people "in letting business take its natural course," is the Government involved in risk if it does the same thing? There is a good deal in the second letter about the which we learn from the dictionary is conformity to "established law, order, habit or usage." It does not appear, though, that the Government recognizes that it has in any way deviated from the normal. To be sure, the letter appeals "to the public to co-operate with us in restoring normal business conditions," but the promise that "the Government will see that the people do not suffer" 1s merely preparatory to exhorting "the people themselves" to "act in a normal way." It is not up to the Government; it is up to the people. "All that our people have to do now is to go ahead with their normal business in a normal fashion, and the whole difficulty disappears, and this end will be achieved at once if each man will act as he normally does act and as the real conditions of the country's business full warrant his now It is to be hoped, and there seems to be every reason to believe, that the remedial financial measures proposed by Secretary Cortelyou will be effective in relieving the excessive abnormality 01 present business conditions, but absolution for responsibility for them cannot be sel1-conferred by an Administration which, before became an administration, asserted that the time had arrived for a change from the normal, the established, "the old attitude of the State and the nation toward property," the transfer of which 1s all that constitutes Lustness.

Nor in order to achieve the complete restoration of normal business conditions is it needful merely that each citizen act as he normally does act. ouly the Government itself will: act in a normal way there will Le no fault to find with the conduct of the people. As To Eating With The Knife. the Washington Herald.J The Baltimore SUN, not content with feloniously and maliciously assaulting the humble. but humane and gentle pumpkin pie, defends the man who eats with his knife to the all but total exclusion of fork, spoon or ladle.

Says our Maryland contemporary: "Eating with the knife harms no one. It gives the eater courage, a steady hand and a quick eye. It gives the spectator a gentle and salubrious thrill. Only the social purist is outraged-and the social purist has no rights worth discussing." We admit that we fail to follow the mental gyrations of THE SON when it discusses matters gastronomic; that is to say, we fail to follow that section of its make-up exclusive of the Bentztown Bard. Surely, it will find very few in this land willing to fall in behind its lead in the matter of eating with the knife.

Instead of giving the spectator "a gentle and salubrious thrill," as our misguided contemporary avers, it gives him a distinct shock of such violence that he cannot suppress a shudder. To eat pie, dumplings or mashed potatoes with the knife is bad enough to eat green peas, spinach or noodle soup thus is nothing short of barbarous. Even chopsticks beat a knife in such emergencies Instead of encouraging eating with the knife, this Maryland advocate should advise the enactment of stern regulations prohibiting it. Something more than steady hand and a quick eye" is involved in the gentle art of decorous eating. If dining were a mere matter of packing away food, quickly and dexterously, perhaps THE SuN's idea might possess some merit worth corsidering.

It is not, however, all of dining to eat, nor all of eating to gobble. As clean- nay, spotless linen, bright and sparkling glass and silver, or more modest table equipment, as the case may be, are indispensable to the full enjoyment of the meal, so well-bred conventional, if you will, table manners are likewise essential. Abas the knife eaters! They spoil even so good a thing as genuine and glorious pumpkin pie -which, all will agree, is as nearly able to stand on its merits In the face of the most adverse conditions as anything else known to cooks of the right persuasion. Problems To Solve. the New York Times.J It must be kept in mind that, although much of the current distress is due to the hoarding and hiding of currency, a very considerable reaction from the extreme activity of the country was bound to come, and bound to produce depression when it did come.

That process will have to be worked out despite any effort to prevent it. and the measures the Government has taken cannot possibly relieve us from that or greatly defer it. They may lessen its abnormal and acute operation. They may, as we have said, affect the minds of individual boarders. They may relieve the bankers.

especially in the interior. of the sense of obligation to maintain each his own reserve. They may, in varlous ways, reawaken that general confidence which has been so suddenly broken down. But they will not, because they cannot, dispense the United States from the Ill-effects of a bad system of banking. Still less can they convert into quick assets the slow assets resulting from excessive expansion.

We shall still have grave problems to solve. The bright side of the situation is that we shall be in a mood to try to solve them practically and sensibly. America's New Coaling Station. the Philadelphia The Arst fruit of Secretary Root's visit to Mexico is now visible. This country has acquired a coaling station from our sister republic which may be used for the next three years.

It is not at all improbable that at the expiration of that period a permanent station will be established by the United States on the peninsula of Lower California. Precautions of this kind taken in times of profound peace show an alert and farsighted national policy. To be prepared for any emergency lessens the difficulty of meeting it. no matter how serious It may be. The nation that is ready for its crises, like the individual, starts with a tremendous handicap.

There is no menace to any country in this action of America, just as there is none in the cruise of the battleship fleet to the Pacific. No country has any cause to suppose the contrary. This nation's larger world-work was cut out for it in the acquisition of the Philippines, and all we ask is to be let alone in doing it in true American fashion. Looking To The Future. the Philadelphia Ledger.J The country, barring some cataciysm of which we cannot conceive, has many centuries before it, and its resources must be somehow husbanded for those who follow after us.

In a thousand ways what we still possess can be preserved, while what of the earth and the fulness thereof we must be take away for can be replaced. A tree can planted each one that is cut, a field made fertile for each one that is robbed of its richness. The nation has lived and is living riotously. If we do not take our situation in hand circumstances will compel it at no distant day. Let this subject be discussed by the Governors and the men whom they select to accompany them to the convention.

It is a good use to make of the States, and if they can be induced to respond to some general impulses of this kind, they will be fulflling a more useful part in our governmental scheme that they seem likely to fulfill otherwise. Better Than Nature. Crittick-I just saw Kammerer's picture of your wife. You don't like it, do you? Henpeck indeed. Crittick-Why, it doesn't look like her, Henpeck-Perhaps not, but it doesn't talk like her either.

COFFINS ARE UPSET BY CROWD Father And Mother Of Murdered Men Stood Guard Over Bodies While Scared Friends Stampeded. Dispatch to the Baltimore York, Nov. persons were injured, some of them probably fatally, in a panic at Quickels Church, near Zion's View, this morning during the funeral of Curvin and William Hoover, who were murdered at Pleasureville on Saturday night.

Upward of 2,000 persons were in the church at the time. A report that the structure was falling caused a stampede and the most of the injured sustained broken limbs from being trampled upon. The most seriously injured are: GEORGE MALEHORN, 7 years old, of Zion's View, breast crushed, cuts and bruises on the head and body. Mrs. DANIEL MARCH, North York, right leg fractured in three places, contusions of the body and head, Mrs.

ELIZABETH SPAHR, of Pleasureville, wrist and leg badly lacerated and severe contusions of the body. CLARENCE LEHR, Downtown, internal injuries and injuries to bead. Mrs. SAMUEL HARBOLT, Brilhart Station, erl ribs broken, Mrs. GEORGE REMER, York, braises on the head and body and internal infurles, WILLIAM GROSS, 7 years old, Zion's View, severe gash on forehead and internal infuries; will probably die.

Mrs. WILLIAM KUHL, York, bruises and cuts on the body. WILLIAM J. BOLL, York, undertaker, chest trampled upon, internal infurles, left wrist cut and sprained. The disaster came at the most solemn moment of the impressive services.

Rev. Adam Stump, of York, and Rev. George W. Enders were In the pulpit. Suddenly a cry of "the roof is was heard.

Then a wild rush for the exits began. In an Instant the scene of mourning WAS changed to a scene of riot. Many fell and were heedlessly trampled upon. Both stoves were thrown over and broken to pieces. The coffins were thrown to the floor and the choir ceased in the middle of its hymn.

The doors of the little church were small, and the windows were soon jammed. From the outside the cry which came from the church was fearfrl, and for some minutes no one seemed able to act. Inside the ministers heid their posts in the pulpit, crying at the top of their voices for the people to remain calm. As goon as it was possible for those outside to force an entrance the work of rescue began. In this Chief of Detectives White and Detective Cooke assisted.

Several women in their frenzy threw the children from the low windows of the church to those outside. Other women who had become from their children tried to fight their way back into the church. Outside along every road men and women hurried away from the scene as fast as they could go. The grief of the parents of the murdered boys was pathetic. At the first rush the father had thrown himself in front of the caskets, drawing his wife and younger daughter to him.

Here they did their best to keep the crowd from the bodies. The York officers rallied a number of men, and by a determined effort succeeded in checking the stampede at the rear door. It was here that most of the injuries were sustained and prostrate bodies were piled sereral feet high. When everybody had gotten out the interior of the building looked as though it had been struck by a whirlwind. Benches were overturned and many of them splintered.

The panic began at about 10 minutes past 12 o'clock, and continued for fully 10 minutes. TO WITHDRAW STATE MONEY Pennsylvania Treasurer Will Exempt Pittsburg Banks. Harrisburg, Nov.
