Clippings from the Pennsburg Town and Country newspaper, Saturday, May 21, 1904

FOUND UNCONSCIOUS

Harvey HOFFMAN, a sixteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. William HOFFMAN, residing one mile north-east of East Greenville, was rendered unconscious on Monday while plowing and remains in that condition to the present time. The boy was plowing in one of his father's fields and was found in an unconscious condition. The exact cause of the accident is a mystery, for no one witnessed it and ever since the accident the boy has not gained consciousness, therefore can not explain it. The supposition is that the boy was fixing the clevis on the plow and was standing right back of the horses when one kicked him and rendered him unconscious, after which they started to run away. The reason for thinking so is that the clevis was found lying on the ground alongside of the boy. As soon as found he was carried into the house and Dr. J.G. HERSH, of East Greenville, was summoned. The doctor has applied different restoratives but up to this date he has been unable to the unfortunate boy. At times he will gain semi-consciousness but only for a short time.

WAAGE, of Pennsburg, who will next month graduate from the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania, had offered to him the position of Resident Physician at St. Luke's Hospital, Bethlehem.

The class consists of but three members, but although small in numbers it is not lacking of ambition and scholarship.

SWALLOWED DIAMOND

Paul CLARKSON who poses as a prize fighter, was operated on in jail at Galveston, Texas, and a diamond valued at $250 was taken from his stomach. CLARKSON was arrested on a charge of having stolen the diamond from a prominent citizen of Galveston. He had taken passage on a Mallory steamer for New York when the officers went after him and took him off the boat. He showed fight and when searched at the station did not have the stone. He said he had swallowed it in the excitement attending his arrest. The police would not credit the statement and subjected him to severe sweating for two days. He complained of suffering and finally it was decided to try and locate the diamond with an X-ray machine. When the shadowgraph was developed it showed the stone imbedded in a cavity of the stomach. Its owner paid for the medical services and withdrew the several charges entered against the thief, who is recovering.

WOMAN COMES FROM GERMANY TO MEET HUSBAND

A poor woman from Germany arrived in Allentown on the immigrant train on Tuesday morning to surprise her husband who came to this country several months ago, and who she supposed was prospering. He had no knowledge of her coming. When the woman arrived at her husband's boarding place she received the sad intelligence that the man, being unable to find profitable employment, had sailed for home several days ago.

AN ANCIENT DEED

A deed for 200 acres of land in Moreland township, from William WALTON to his son, Jeremiah WALTON, has just been placed on record. The consideration was twenty pounds. The deed was handsomely engrossed on a fine piece of parchment, after the custom of that day. The date is August 12, 1720. A peculiarity of the deed is the acknowledgement which was not taken until 2d-mo, 9, 1750, when that of one of the subscribing witnesses, Joseph GRIFFITH was made use of, the grantor being dead. The acknowledgement recites that GRIFIFTH saw William WALTON sign and deliver the deed, etc. The other witnesses were Henry ENGLISH and Thomas WALMSLEY. There is a character between the works "Henry" and "English," which might be take for an "H," but close scrutiny shows it to be the "mark" of the witness who probably could not write.

A DRIVING ACCIDENT AT SCHWENKSVILLE

Garret S. CLEMENS and family, of Lederachville, had a narrow escape from injury last Thursday while driving through Schwenksville. When passing along the turnpike in front of the Schwenksville National Bank, a train approached and the puffing of the engine scared Mr. CLEMENS' horse who started to run away. Not being able to control the animal Mr. CLEMENS steered him towards a post and a collision was the result. The occupants were thrown out and no one was seriously hurt. Only slight scratches and bruises being the result. The wagon was upset and broken and the harness was torn. The animal was caught by people who witnessed the accident.

SCHWENKFELDERS MET

The annual general conference of the Schwenkfelder Church was held on Monday, at Clayton, Berks county, in the Washington meeting house. Routine business was transacted, including reports from the district conferences, the Mission Board, the Charity Fund, the Literary Fund, the Board of Publication and several committees. On account of pressure of business some matters had to be deferred to the fall conference. The Ladies' Aid Society generously furnished a lunch at the noon hour, by which they saved considerable time and won the hearty thanks of the members of the conference. The gathering was in many respects an unusual one, partly on account of the good attendance, but mainly on account of the work done. Among the points of interest may be mentioned the following: Total membership, 635. Increase during the year 1903, 46. Total amount raised during year 1903 for all purposes, $3560.64. Pupils in Sunday school, 871. Valuation of church property, $32,125. Valuation of Charity Fund, $7,789. The report of the Mission Board showed that during the year money was sent to China, India and elsewhere for the purpose of educating and supporting indigent boys and girls. Miss Flora K. HEEBNER was engaged during the period since September, 1903, as home missionary in Philadelphia, and through the Board made a good report. The Board also reported that in Norristown meetings have been held both as Sunday school and for divine worship with the purpose of affecting a permanent organization as a Schwenkfelder Church. The Board also reported that Miss Flora K. HEEBNER, their Missionary in Philadelphia, had expressed a desire to go to the foreign mission field, that she had been accepted by the Congregational Mission Board to engage in teaching in the Shansi Mission, to be supported by ladies of Chicago. The Conference voted to contribute towards her support at least $200 for the ensuing years. Miss HEEBNER is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.H. HEEBNER, of Worcester, a graduate of Perkiomen Seminary and Oberlin College, and will sail for China the latter part of August. In behalf of the work carried on by Dr. Chester D. HARTRANFT, the report was made that the Hartford Theological Seminary was contributing $2500 towards his expenses, that they also stood ready to give to Rev. JOHNSON, of the Philadelphia church, a fellowship worth $750 in order that he might continue his historical researches under Dr. HARTRANFT's direction and served as assistant editor on the Corpus. The conference voted to Rev. JOHNSON and the Philadelphia church, through their moderator, Dr. James M. ANDERS, generously gave assent and stands ready to sacrifice for the general good. Rev. JOHNSON will probably sail for Germany in July to enter upon his responsible duties. H.W. KRIEBEL, secretary for the upper district, laid before the Conference copies of his book, "The Schwenksfelders: A Historical Sketch." The Conference expressed appreciation by adoption a series of resolutions by a rising vote. The Conference adjourned to meet the third Monday in October, 9.30 a.m., in the Kraussdale meeting house.

THIEVES STEAL CIGARS

The cigar factory of John LEH, of East Greenville, was on Tuesday night visited by thieves who carried away about five hundred unpacked cigars. The evil doers gained entrance through a window and when once inside they helped themselves to what they found. Besides taking about five hundred cigars the thieves took along a few old lace curtains and dishes used as playthings by Mr. LEH's children in the factory. During the same night and most assuredly by the same thieves Henry S. MUMBAUER, a cigar manufacturer, of Pennsburg, was robbed of about seven hundred cigars. Mr. MUMBAUER has his factory on the second floor in his barn and with the aid of a pick the door was forced and entrance gained. The cigars were packed in boxes but not yet stamped. The former factory has been robbed of cigars before and the supposition is that the same party did the work. There is no clue to the thieves.

A surprise party was tendered Miss Ella HEADMAN, of Upper Hanover township, on Tuesday evening, in honor of her eighteenth birthday anniversary. She is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry HEADMAN.

These eggs were laid by the common chickens, but the fact that they were laid on republican soil may have something to do with the extra size.

TRAINED TURTLE GREW VICIOUS

Dr. J.B. SHARP, a dentist of Bridgeton, N.J., has had for several years a 14-pound turtle, which he had trained to draw about his yard a little express wagon, in which his two children would ride.
