ESTABLISHED IN 1814. VOLUME XXVI, NEW SEMES, ESTDIAISTA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBEB 30, 1895. NTJMBER 4:4: A VERY SUDDEN CALL WILLIAM M. CTEWAR1 DROPS DEAD WHILE DRESSING. Well Known Attorney of this County Dies Sullenly at --Resolutions of tlie Jim-- Over tlio County.

Mr. William M. St of Philadelphia, a prominent nvilioiid attorney and a former well known mc-hibcr of the bar of this county, died suddenly lit the home of his brother-in-law, Col. V. Clopper, of Greensburg, on moining, about 7:30 o'clock.

Mr. Stewart had been in Greeusburg several days previous to his death and that u.ul amen mid was in the act of dressing when dwith came. He was found shoitly afterwards lying on the floor noar the bed but life was extinct. His death was undoubtedly an easy and painless one. The sudden demise is attributed to heart trouble.

The deceased wa.s widely known throughout this county "having been born and raised here. The deceased as a son of the late Dr. James M. Stewart. le read law here with Thomas White, deceased, lather of Judge White, and for many years practiced at this bar.

He was a law paitner of the late Supreme Judge Silas M. Clark. Mr. Stewart was at one time a prominent banker of Philadelphia, but iu recent you was employed by, the Pennsylvania railroad Company as a'l i attorney. This position brought him befoio many courts and gave him a promine uee which he won for himself.

A wife ana six children survive him. His le- mains were laken to Philadelphia for interment. Th 3 following aie the icaolutions adopted by tlje Indiana bar William M. Stewart died suddenly to- df.iy in passed along the street Mmoug the people and Hie announcement elicited expressions of sincere sorrow from xll who knew him and had heard it. Although not now or for many years past a resident of this community, yet this was his native home and the fit-Id of his lifetime labors as a lawyer and ic-pc-cted citizen-therefore the bar of this court immediately convened to testify their respect to his memory and esteem of him us a citizen and adopt the following brief minute of his life to go upon the recoids.

The records of the court show William M. Stewart was admitted to the bar of Indiana county It is ell known that his preparation for admission -was made by a course of study at the Law School at Carlisle, and'in the office of the la to Judge Thomas White, here. After his admission to the bar he soon came into a laborious, active, useful and remunerative practice, which be pursued with exclusive attention until about the year 1 70. Since that time his visits have been quite fieqneuthere and his appearance in the business of our courts has been occasional up to the time of his sudden death. In his cuieor fur many years at this bar Mr.

Stewart was among the largest if not the largest practitioner. A most laborious man, his practice in the office and the court was continued and unceasing. His was the largest shaic of the Orphans' Court practice while the business of that court was comparatively light when he carne to the bar and had largely increased when he left active practice here. The records of the Orphans' Court, probably, show more estates settled by Mr. Stewart, in his time, than by any other member of the bar.

His practice, however, was varied and also large, active and laborious in the Common Pleas and Criminal Courts. To the court he forcibly and well presented the points of his case and the people had so much confidence in his integrity as a man and lawyer that he was always strong with the jury. The name of no attorney is more frequent in the records of the courts here than William M. Stewart and later the firm name of Stewart Clark, after the late Judge Clark, who had been his student, became his partner. His reputation among people and clients was that of an honest man and conscientious, able lawyer.

Many lawyers at this and other bars passed their student life and preparation in his office. He leaves the legacy of an industrious, succevfulaud conscientious career as a lawyei at this bar for those who have come after him to observe and emulate. While he lived here he was an upright, enterprising citizen. Through his efforts and aid the first banking institution was started in this community and the older business men here will remember well the opening of the banking firm of Sutton Stewart in 1858. Reared in the school of the orthodox religion he was always steadfast and consistent in his faith and when some clouds of discomfort came upon him, he held steadfast to the hope that gives patience, fortitude and cheerfulness to a Christian life.

On the threshold of four score years he is gathered as a completely ripened sheaf in the harvest of the great hereafter. Renoir 'd, That the bai of Indiana county bear testimony to the useful, successful and honorable career, as a lawyer, of William M. Stewart, and commend it as one of the traditions' of our court to be kept alive by all who value industry, integrity, truth and ability in our great profession. That the sincerest sympathy of the Indiana county bar is now expressed to the family of the deceased. We know he loved tliem loved him.

While we hesitate to intrude on the solemnity of their sorrow, we yet venture to suy they have our sincerest condolence. Itesoked, That a committee of five members of this bar be appointed to present a copy of the action of this meeting to the family of the deceased, and that a copy of these proceedings be presented to the court to be entered upon the records. All of which is respectfully submitsed. Jso. P.

Inf. ANOTHER MAT) DOG KILLED. The Center Township Farmers Have Another Scare. Center township suffered disastrously last winter from rabies among the stock, caused by the work of a mad dog in a single day. A number of cattle, hogs and horses were bitten by the inad canine, and either died violent deaths or were killed to end their sufferings.

On Saturday, the people of that neighborhood grew suspicious of an unknown dog which was travelling along the public road. It disappeared in the evening and nothing more was seen of until Sabbath morning, when the boys of Mr. Daniel, Shaffer took the cows to the field. At the bars the boys found the dog lying along the fence, frothing at the mouth. The boys left the cows and ran back home and told their father that a strange dog was up at the bars.

Mr. Shaffer and a neighbor's boy, Benjamin Fink, went to the field and found the dog along the road. The canine was frothing at the mouth and at a glance it could be seen that he was a victim of the rabies. As the two men approached, the dog started towaid them, but Mr. Fink hurled a stone at the ugly looking brute which was now showing signs of fight, and knocked him senseless.

The two men then hurried towards him, but he gained his feet again and snapped at the men. Another stone struck him and this one proved fatal. Both men are positive that the dog was suffering from rabies, as his strange actions tallied exactly with those of the mad dog which was killed in that neighborhood last wintei. The dog was covered with shaggy, yellow hair, around his neck was a leather strap. The people of that neighborhood are at a loss to know who owns the canine or where he came from.

Doubtless a great deal of trouble was averted by his death and although it is thought that the dog has not been among the cattle, yet every one is keeping an eye on the stock and watching for the least sign of the dread malady.

TRESTLES AND BRIDGES ARE BEING ERECTED. Work Alone the Pittsfours fe Eastern Promise Broken Sinking of the Shaft--No Prospects of Another Section of the Road Being Lot Through this County Soon. It is altogether likely that the promise made by the officials of the Pittsburg Eastern railroad will not be fulfilled. Last spring they prophesied that before the snowflakes were in the air they would be shipping Gush Creek coal over the new road to the market. They will have to, get a hustle on if they want to beat winter.

The grading on the fourteen miles of the road fiom Mahaffey to Hillsdale is completed and the ties for this part of the road have been secured. The track is laid within a few miles of Burnside but the bridges and trestle work greatly retard the completion of this part of the road. Mr. J. E.

Miller, of Glen Campbell, has the contract for the erection of the two long trestles and he has a large gang of men at work. The first large trestle along the new railroad is being erected over Whitzel's dead water, near McGees, and will be a structure 45 feet high and 400 feet long. The trestle at Glen Campbell, although 30 feet high is about 500 feet in length. The work on the trestle will require the work of several weeks and before Gush Creek can be reached by rail the structures must be completed. The foundations for all of the ten bridges are completed except the one at Burnside.

A shaft is being sunk at Puller's run along Cuh creek in Montgomery township and long before the road will be completed the coal will be tapped along Gush creek. The building of the bridges and trestles will postpone the completion of the road for several mouths and perhaps until spring. Next summer iij is likely the branch up the river to Barnesboro will be built. The route has been surveyed and there will be no difficulty in securing the right of way. When another section of the road, which crosses this county diagonally, will be let is not known.

The company are anxious to get the road completed as fau as Cash creek, thus giving them facilities for shipping the coal from these beds. The road through the county may not be completed for years but its construction at some time is without a doubt. WILL MEET AT DECKER'S POINT. Daptlst Young People's Union "Will Hold a Session.

The Normal football club played their first game on Saturday afternoon on their own grounds and defeated the Morrellville team outi ageously.

The visitors were too- weak for the school boys and badly lacked training. This was the first game for the Morrellville team this year. The visitors seemed lost on the field and made ragged plays. The ball was in the hands of the Normal eleven from tfie beginning until the end, consequently the game was not interesting. The first touchdown was made before the clubs had been on the field three minutes, and the Normal scored so fast during the two thirty-minute halves that it kept the crowd busy with their addition.

Through the entire game the Morrellville team did not even in good position to win a point. During the first half Normal 24 and in the last naif swelled the total to 50 while the visitors left the field with a big round cipher. Woods held up the right end for Normal admirably and carried the ball beyond the goal four times.
