HABBIOBUBO, MONDAY EVENXna, JUNE 3, 1005. Established 1831. A $500 BILL, TRYING TO GET IT CHANGED A Midnight Hunt That Was Unsuccessful Two young men made a wager the other night on whether change could be pro cored for a five hundred dollar bill after midnight. One bet that it would be an easy matter to get a bill of that size broken, and the other insisted that it was an impossibility after midnight. They waited until the clock struck twelve and then started out to "break" the bill.

Never mind where they got the $500 bill. That does not enter into the question. Perhaps they had one, and then again perhaps they didn't have one. Neither are blessed with any too much of this world's goods, which makes it all the more probable that they didn't have a bill of that size. The first place they went to was the Commonwealth Hotel, and Night Clerk Itahter said he would have to pass, that he was just out of change for $500.

At the Lochiel Night Clerk Landis said he had just changed a bill of that size and he was swamped. At the Grand Hotel Boy Russ turned pale when asked for change, and when he recovered his breath he said: "You can't mean it." At the Kasa Hotel the man in charge looked dazsd and shook his head sadly. Then the two went in the Pennsylvania station and the ticket agent, Mr. Heefner, was asked to produce change for $500. He recovered later, and is better now.

At the Hershey House the proprietor had gone to bed and forgotten to leave $500 in change in the safe. At the Columbus the man said he had just changed a $1,000 bill for a base ball magnate and it had cleaned him out of small change. There was no change for $500 at the Bolton, nor did John Bracken have it at the Harris House, and the change hunters decided to give it up. The man who lost paid the bet, and the two went home to their beds. "If you want to see shad," said the man, "walk out on the old foot bridge about 5 o'clock in the morning.

My attention was called to their existence in great numbers by a gentleman who walks across the bridge every morning, and he has seen as many as a thousand in a morning walk. This morning I arose early and walked out on the bridge aoout 6 o'clock. Sure enough, there were the shad between the third and fourth piers, and they made a delightful picture for a fisherman. There was a school of almost fifty, and when they turned they looked like a great moving mass of silver. This is their spawning season, and they will quite likely be in this vicinity for some time.

The shad fishing ought to be good next year." Advicks from up along the Juniata are to the effect that the shad are still plentiful and that in the vicinity ef Iroquois the fishermen are spearing them. The fish can hardly be good for food. "As thin as a June shad" is an old time expression that must certainly apply to the Janiata fish at this time. Says a writer: Here is jast a feather to show which way the wind blows. Twenty five years ago the practical application of electricity was unknown.

If our great grandfathers were to make an excursion of a couple of weeks to their old homes they would grow so dizzy that they would hardly be able to find their way back to heaven.

A car will cost only $5, and it will frequently carry an entire funeral party, which would otherwise have to use eight or ten carriages. The conipany is now naving constructed a special funeral car, equipped with all modern appliances for handling dead bodies. It will combine the features of a hearse, with all the comforts for the mourners.

Undoubtedly the great heat has had a depressing effect on the size of base ball crowds. Some credit must be given the bleachers for Saturday's victory. Their shouts of encouragement spurred the locals on to their best efforts. The regular meeting of the Y. M.

C. A. Bicycle Club will be held this evening at 7:30, and the Athletic Club will meet at 8:30 o'clock. State League teams rank as follows: Hazleton, 630; Allentown, 619; Pottsville, 609; Harrisburg, 677; Reading, 642; Carbondale, 464; Lancaster, 346.

If Reading and Carbondale can do the trick with Hazleton and Allentown, we will attend to Pottsville. Oar man Dailey, on first base, is doing great work. He is not only a fine fielder, but he bats like all creation. They have given him the name of ''Home Run" Dailey, and he deserves it. He is a careful, conscientious player and he always plays to win.

Harrisburg Correspondent Philadelphia Press. The managers of the Lancaster and Harrisburg clubs have begun a practice that will not meet with the approval of the patrons of the game in either city, and that is of playing exhibition games. It is calculated to injure the League in many ways, and should not be tolerated by those in authority. Philadelphia Times. That was a big jump the Phillies made Saturday, going from fifth to second place.

Baltimore moved up from sixth to third. It was a hard week for the Western clubs, the four leaders, together with Louisville, losing again. Cincinnati and Cleveland each dropped a point and Boston tied Chicago for sixth place. Pittsburg's lead has been greatly reduced. Last week ended with reverses for two of the State League leaders, Reading giving Hazleton a set back and Lancaster doing the same for Pottsville.

Allentown did not play and thereby moved up from third to second place. The seven straight victories of Harrisburg makes that team a factor for championship honors, as the Statesmen are now within hailing dis tance of Hazleton. Death of a former Citizen. From the Sunday Call, of Newark. N.

we copy part of a notice of the life and decease ot Bamuel Henoch, second son or the late Dr. Jacob G. Schoch, a native of this city and for some years a resident. in 1852 the family removed to Newark. and a year or two later Samuel Schock en tered the office of Mr.

Isaac VanWaeenen. who was then treasurer of the Morris Essex railroad. His intelligence and energy won him promotion, and about the time lie was 25 years of age he became the superintendent of the road. He was a Btrict disciplinarian, yet the employes learned to have faith in his fairness and he became notably popular. In 1868 he resigned his position as superintendent and went South, and afterward to Mar quette, Michigan, as superintendent of the Marquette Ontonagon railroad.

but after some years his health failed, when he resigned and returned to Newark. After a needed rest he has been identified with the rapid transit company and building of street railroads. He was beloved by the 'employes of all the roads with which be was connected and was always tendered a testimonial of their respect. He was a most agreeable com panion, possessed of wide information and his judgment on business questions was highly valued. In politics he was a zealous Republican.

All his acts were determined by a high sense ot honor. Ho took an active part in the Society for the frevention of Cruelty to Ani f.aia.

WE ALL KNOW THAT ITS YERY HOT However, Farmer Kidgway Promises Cooler Conditions To night. 'Ob, for a lodge in some vast wilder ness of snow and ice," sighed many a Harrisburger Saturday night, yesterday and this forenoon as the unrelenting and blistering rays of a torrid zone Bun beat down upon sweltering humanity. It has been not enough since Wednesday last to almost melt the soles off a man's shoes.

Why even the pneumatic tires on bicycles are beginning to complain and the hardiest puddler when he knocks off work looks as if he had just been shot out of an active volcano. Intent upon knowing jast how long this extraordinary wave for this early in the season was going to remain in our midst, and with a desire to place the blame for its visitation where it properly belongs, a Telegraph reporter climbed wearily the double flight of stairs to the top Btory of the United States Government building this forenoon and interviewed "Farmer" Rldgway, who last week foreclosed a first mortgage on what natural heat he could find hereabouts. Mr. Rid way was found in his shirt sleeves. grinding out his reports on the weather.

"This not wave, said he, "began last Wednesday and covers the Middle and South Atlantic States this morning. It is unprecedented for this time of the year, and was caused by a high barometer pres sure remaining persistently stationary over the South Atlantic States, forcing the heated air from the South into the low barometer pressure of the North. And we may expect no relief nntil this high pressure moves off into the ocean. This relief is indicated during the next 24 hours. There has been a marked fall in the temperature in the Rocky Mountain region, Cheyenne, Wyoming, reporting 38 degrees, or but 6 degrees above freezing this morning.

This cool wave is traveling eastward and ought to be here to night or to morrow. It is preceded by a heavy rainfall, which was central in Kansas and Nebraska this morning. Local thunder storms may ba expected to night. Last Wednesday the highest recorded temperature on top of the Government building was 88 degrees. Thursday it was 95 degrees; Friday, 92 degrees; Saturday, 97 1 degrees, and yesterday, 96 decrees.

This morning at 8 o'clock it was 80 degrees. Saturday night the lowest temperature was 74 degrees, Last night it was 70 degrees. 1 suppose there is a difference of 4 degrees between the temperature on the roof of the Gov ernment Building and on the pavements below, the former being that much cooler. owing to its elevation.

Bergaer, Esq. The case of the Commonwealth against the Keystone Beneficial Association, of Beaver Falls, was argued for the Commonwealth by ex Deputy Attorney General Stranahan and for the company by ex Deputy Attorney General Snod grass. The main point is whether the company is not doing an illegal insurance business. It is expected that the Court will dispose of the business before it by Wednesday. Liquor License Applications.

In the matter of the application of Wm. Thomas and John Mackert for a wholesale liquor license in Northumberland county, the Court affirms the decree of the rourt below and dismisses the ap peal at the cost of the appellants. The record shows that the case was heard, considered and decided by the court of Northumberland county, and that the license was refused on the ground that in the opinion of the Court it was not necessary. "It is true," the Court says, 'it was the individual opinion ot the judge upon which this action was taken, but we have so many times held that such opinion may be the basis of decision that we regard the subject as settled and do not deem it necessary to review the cases or to change them." The other Northumberland cases mentioned above are decided in the same way. A Mother's Right to Beoover.

In the case of Margaret Kerr against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, an appeal from the court of common pleas No. 2, Philadelphia, the question raised by the demurrer is whether a married woman who has been deserted by her husband can maintain an action in her own name to recover damages for the death of their minor child. It is alleged in the statement filed that the death of the plaintiff's minor son was caused by the negligence of the defendant, that she is the only person entitled to recover for this death, as her husband, the father of the boy, had deserted her and her son more than eight years before the commencement of the suit, and through drunkenness and profligacy has failed and refused to provide in any way for either of them. Justice Fell, who writes the opinion, says: "There can be no doubt of the power of the plaintiff to sue without joining her husband to recover any claim due her In her own right. The act of May 4th, 1855, conferred upon her the common law rights and duties of her husband in relation to their child.

She could have plaeed him at work and have received his wages, and was bound to the reciprocal duties of maintenance and education. Her legal re lation to her son was the same as if her husband had been dead. It is out of this relation that the right to recover in an ac tion for the death of a child grows. The measure of damages is the pecuniary loss sustained, and the loss arises because of the right of the parent to the child's earnings until he is of age, or of the ex pectation of pecuniary advantage after the minority of the child because of the continued existence of the family relation. The father here had forfeited all right to his Bon's earnings the mother alone was entitled to them.

She alone oould sue for and recover them. The pecuniary loss resulting from the child's death was wholly hers. If tho father had not been living at tho time of the son's death, the wife's right to maintain this action could not be questioned if she had not been living at that time it is doubtful whether he could have recovered, because tho family rela tion between mm and his son had ceased to exist and he had forfeited all right to his son's earnings. in this case the wife alone has a claim upon which a recovery in damages can bo sustained. Her right should not be defeated by the misconduct of her husband.

Upon the trial she will have to establish her right to maintain tho action in her own name or fail. In the absence of her hus band, or of notice to him, his right to par ticipate in the distribution ot the fund recovered cannot be finally determined against him. Whatever right he has mav be preserved by the Court controlling the distribution until he shall have had a hearing. The udgment of the Philadel phia court Is reversed. Cases Non prossed.

The case of the Commonwealth against the Marshall Street Passenger Company was continued. The following cases were non prossed: Minnie Keller vs. East Harrisburg Passenger Railway Company Donohue vs. Reverting Fund Assurance Association Sheets vs. Rash Township; Reed vs.

Middle Paxton Town ship; Commonwealth vs. Economical Mutual iieneut Association; Common wealth vs. Cassel, and Smith, Tate Co. vb. Riverton Water Company, all Dauphin county appeals.

In the Caasol case the suit waa non prossed because no final judgment had been entered in the court below. PAXTANG PARK. This Was Opening Day and Ureat urowuu were at tne ltesort.

THE COLIMA'S LOST GOLD. ITully $160,000 Known to Have Been on we team snip. San Frakotsoo, June 2. The lost Pa cific Mail steamship Colima had on board spibu.uuu of treasure, shipped to Mazatian from the house of the Melchers, Eche gueven Co. It is insured in London and Germany.

Until the depth of the water in which the steamer went down was positively known two diving plants and two steamers belonging to Hidalgo Co. and the Cor nego Company, of La Paz, were kept wait ing to attempt the recovery of this treasure. Third umcer Hansen, oi the ui tated vessel sends some gruesome details of the disaster. The heaviest squall of all those experienced came after the steamer had foundered and while passengers and crew were struggling in the water. The force of the gale at this time was dreadfuL Many were washed from the wreckage to which they clung.

Some were killed or rendered unconscious by being struck by timbers, wmch were dashed about with resistless fury. Rafts and boats were overturned. Had it not been for this squall many more would undoubtedly have been saved. The gale drove rafts and wreckage be fore it with great rapidity. Mr.

Hansen saw a raft pass at 6:30 P. M. on the day of the disaster. On it were three men. They drifted away very fast and ere soon lost to view i He also saw a raft on which were Mr.

Chilberg and six others. These men had two oars and seemed to be mak ing for shore. Mr. Hansen also saw a boat in which was first officer Griffiths and four or five men. When last seen this boat was trying to pick up the purser, but it was not seen again, and is supposed to have been swamped in the heavy sea.

Sutherland and Hansen both tell har rowing stories of the misery they witnessed while keeping themselves afloat. Many bodies which floated past them were en tirely nude. Either the clothing had been torn off by the fury of the wind and waves or the victims had been too ill or too terrified to leavo their beds nntil the last, and had then rushed upon deck clad only in their chamber robes. Apparently the children were all drowned in the cabins. MAT FIGHT IK TEXAS.
