              Cars Every Hour Between
Hershey and Elizabethtown
-New Line Now Open Gives Splendid
Service and Connects With tlie
Trolley Systems o£ All South-ern.
Pennsylvania About
the Stations.
With the opening this week of the
new line- to. Elizabetlitown, Hershey
is connected with the - richest agricul-tural
country in America, and "with
many towns and settlements of large
importance. It has taken more time
than was expected to complete the
work but the purpose has been to ser
cure a trolley road that should be best the possible in grade and equipment.
in fact there is scarcely any grade and
the line is practically straight. The rails . are of railroad weight and thus
there will he speed without discomfort.
Trial cars were run last week, but the formal inauguration of the line took place this week.
There is an hourly service in each
direction. The cars leave Hershey 15 minutes after the hour until 11.15 P. M. They leave Elizabethtown 15 min-utes
before the hour until 11.45 P. M.
The last car is due in Hershey at 15 minutes past midnight. The fare in
each direction is twenty cents which
is less when tickets are used.
The cars start from Hershey and use the old track to the Homestead
Farm of the Hershey Industrial
School; there the new track begins.
After a run of 1% miles Vian is
reached.. This is a small settlement
whose familiar institution is the
blacksmith shop. Three miles further
there is a station at Deodate' Road.
Near here is an old village of a hun- dred or more good people with a coun-try
store. Two and one half miles
further on is Beverly Station. There
is no town near but around is a good
farming country. The new line crosses
the Corn-wall and Lebanon Railroad
by a steel bridge 700 feet long and 21
feet high above the railroad track.
The line leaves Dauphin and enters
Lancaster county when ' it crosses
Conewago Creek.- Two and one-half
miles from Beverly Station is Eliza-bethtown
and'th e present terminus of
the line is at the main public square.
The whole line "runs on private right
of way until Elizabetlitown is reached.
The line is single track with four sid-ings.
One of the great conveniences of the
new line ¦ is that it gives more direct
connection with the Pennsylvania
trains going East. There are ten of
these trains stopping at Elizabeth -
town. Tliose who wish to make con-nection
should allow at least ten min-utes
for the walk from the square at
Elizabethtown to the Pennsylvania
Station. A. local omnibus meets all
trains and the fare is ten cents.
The first regular car for Elizabeth-town
left Hershey at 7.15 a. m'. yes-terday.
There was much interest in
its departure, and equal interest in
the arrival of . the first car from
Elizabethtown.
Hershey is very fortunate in ac-quiring
Elizabethtown as a near
neighbor. It is one of the most thriv-ing
communities in the State. It has
prosperous manufactures, fine stores,
well-built homes, good .hotels, two)
excellent newspapers and a most
agreeable population. "With the con-nections
at Elizabethtown Hershey
travelers are now in direct touch with
the whole trolley system of Southern
Pennsylvania. They can travel by
trolley from Hershey to Philadelphia
and then on to New "Stork, Boston and
as far north as Portland , Mo. The
line brings Lancaster county 's fine
milk supply and general trade with-in
Hershey's roach, Closer relations
between this town und Elizabethtown,
Lancaster and other places will re-sult.
Already the sentiment Is grow-ing,

Home of the Hershey Press
Wrecked by Fire and Water
Damage so Great That the Building
Cannot be Used Again. Fine. Work
By the Hremen of Hershey.
Large Crowd Saw the Build-ing
Saturday Afternoon.
Several persons going to the foot-ball
game shortly before three o'clock
Saturday alternoon saw smoke and
tiny flames in the southwest corner
of the Hershey Press Building which
is the tamiliar structure at the en-trance
to Hershey Park.
¦U'he alarm was given. At first the
people, aid not understand it. The
iwo bands and the cheering crowds
only a snort while before had marched
from the Chocolate avenue across the
bridge and so most persons thought
the bells were part of the general
noise over the 'annual football classic
between Hershey and Palmyra. But
this soon passed.
"The Press Building is on lire," was
shouted up and down the streets .and
within ttfteen minutes hundreds
were at the scene. The Hershey Fire
Department under Chief John Conrad
and Assistant Chief John 1<". Snavely
reached the building within a short
time and promptly began operations.
The building being of wood and
thoroughly seasoned and containing
large stocks of paper seemed hopeless.
The names quickly ran up the walls
and ate their way into the upper story
where much paper was stored, and at
lirst no one expected that anything
could be saved. The whole structure
and its contents seemed doomed. -But
when ' the water was turned • on Its
mighty force and tremendous, flow
changed the whole prospect. Very
quickly the progress of the flames was
checked, but to stop the fire in the
paper .stores it was necessary to pour
tons of water into the second floor.
The weight of this was too great for
the supports and suddenly the roof
over the j ob office gave way. ¦
At that moment Al C. Kraft, Roy
McKissick and William Zimmerman
were on the roof and George Eppley
was at the top of the ladder. Kraft
heard a cracking and exclaimed:
"Get down, boys, she's going," and
they quickly scampered to the edge
and hung around Eppley's ladder. An
instant afterwards the roof fell. The
escape was so very close that the
crowd thought at least two men. were
in the ruins. Fortunately all were
safe.
Everyone tried to help. Practically
all the editorial furniture and the
paper's lists and records were carried
from the building, the men wading in
deep water to get the things out. In
addition to the names mentioned fine
work was done by Harry Parker, Rob-ert
V. Owens, Thomas Black, Abram
Ellinger, James Putt, B. Frank Zent-myer,
Bruce Lehman , and many
others. In fact, it is hardly fair to
particularize, so general was the dis-position
to assist. Mr. M. S. Hershey
was present, all' the time .and took an
active part in directing and aiding in
the " work;' Many ladles were among
the spectators and the many small
boys seemed delighted to get in the
spray from the hose. The force of
the water sent the streams over the
building frequently and the crowds in
the way on the opposite sides got the
full benefit.
For two hours water was poured
into the building and during the rest
of the day and night it was necessary
three times to put out the flames. The
loas was In the building and the stock
and in the damage to some ofthe ma-chines.
At this writing the insurance
men have not made the adj ustments
and the net loss cannot bo stated.
As soon as the news was known
many of the , contemporaries of tho
Press offered their aid and the use of
their facilities and there wore many
evidences of tho favor which the
Proas enjoys In Lebanon Valley. There

Mr. Hershey Gives Fountain
to the City of Harrisburg
Statuary Wliich l^g-urcd in Recent
Trial Presented to the Mayor and
City Council. Will Adorn One
of tlie Public Places.
Thanked by Council.
Mr. M. S. Hershey contracted with
Donato, the sculptor, for a fountain,
to cost $3,100 and paid two-thirds of
the contract price In two instalments.
The arrangements were made through
the late Ogelsby Paul, ¦ who superin-tended
the landscape work of Her-shey.
The sculptor claimed that he
had a subsequent verbal 'contract
which superseded the written agree-ment
and went ahead and produced
a group of statuary for which he
charged ?26 ,000. This was regarded
as unauthorized and excessive and
the claim was disputed. The case was
tried at Harrisburg and was difficult
because of the , recent death of Mr.
Paul who acted as agent in the trans-action..
The trial filled much space in
the newspapers. The jury found for
the sculptor and on the offer of the
sculptor's attorneys an adj ustment was
made by John E. Snyder, Esq., at-torney
for Mr. Hershey. Mr. Hershey
did not see the work until the trial
was under way and the jury came to
Hershey to view it, when for the first
time it was unpacked. Mr. Hershey
decided it was not a work he wanted
for the town and so he made a present
of- it. to Harrisburg. Following is the
letter:
November 26 , 1915.
Hon. John K. Royal, Mayor, Harris-burg,
Pa. .
Dear Sir: . Confirming my inter-view
with you of the 24th instant,
there is now communicated to you
formally what was then stated ver-bally:
.1 wish to present to the City of
Harrisburg a fountain group' of gran-ite
and bronze, which has recently
been highly praised by persons who
are reputed to be competent to deter-mine
artistic value.
Your city . has. in recent years been
deeply interested in developing its
parks and river front, and in their
adornment and beautifying consider-able
progress has been made both in
pleasure and in comfort. With the
approval of your people the addition
of this fountain group may increase
this satisfaction. .
The fountain, if accepted, will be
delivered to you at the railroad freight
station, Harrisburg.
Your city will be required to pro-vide
a suitable location, arid a proper
foundation upon which to place it,
entirely in accordance with your own
ju dgment. You can erect it as a
fountain, or as statuary, as you. pre-fer,
and place about it such other
suitable surroundings as you wish.
The maker of it, as part of the ad-justment,
has offered without expense
to you to oversee its safe transporta-tion
, supervise its proper placing and
erec tion, if you desire his services.
With, .my best..1 wishes.for -yourself
and the people of your city, I am
Yours truly,
M. S. HERSHEY.
The City Council adopted the fol-lowing:
"Whereas, Mr. M. S. Hershey has
generously presented to the City of
Harrisburg, through Mayor John K.
Royal, a magnificent fountain en-titled
"Dance of the Eternal Spring; "
therefore, bo it
"Resolved , That the 'City Council,
on beh alf of the Ci ty, hereby accept
the same and extend to Mr. Hershey
the sincere thanks of tho city for his
munificent gift; and be it further
"Resolved , That a committee of
live, consisting of tho Superintendent
of- Parks and Public Property, the
President of tho Planning Commis-sion
and one member each from the
Municipal League, the Civic Club
and tho Southern Pennsylvania Chap-ter

, Mr, Donato, select tho proper
place to locate said fountain. "

Looked Like Bank Burglars
but They Were Runawa ys
What Ralph Fiore Saw In the Shrub-bery
Aroiihd tlie Hershey Trust
Company in the Early Hours of
the Morning—One of -them
had a Gun—Both Arrested;
What would you think if • you saw
two figures hiding in the evergreens
at the Hershey Trust Company build-ing
after midnight ? What would you
do if you suddenly realized that one
of them was holding a gun and that
the glint of the barrel was in your di-rection?
All this happened to Ralph Fiore
ju st after the midnight of Thanksgiv-ing
and in the first hour of Friday
morning; He was making his late
round. The streets were deserted. All
the good people in Hershey were in
hod.
Ralph was passing the bank when
he heard a slight noise In the ever-greens.
Suddenly he saw the glint oh
a gun barrel. He walked on a few
steps as if nothing had happened.
This gave him time to draw his revol-ver
and . then he turned quickly . and
told the hiding men if they moved
he would shoot.
He .made them drop their gun and
come out from their hiding. They
prove.4. to be two Indian boys about
eighteen or twenty and they said they
had hid in the evergreens when they
heard Ralph coming down the street.
Fiore awakened Mr. John E. Snyder,
who telephoned to the Carlisle In-dian
School and ascertained that the
boys had run away. It was requested
that they be, detained until an officer
could be sent for them.
This was done and Ralph Fiore
guarded them in the Fire House until
morning. Being penniless they were
fed at the expense of Mr. Hershey.
To the Press man they said they did
not like the school at Carlisle and that
they had escaped. They had mistaken
their direction and had come east in-stead
of going west. They had visited
several towns' and had travelled in a
circle in the hope of getting away,
but their money had given out. One
of them was from Northern Michigan
and the other was from Northern Wis-consin.
They said they wanted to go
back home. The younger could not
be told from the average white youth.
He was bright and inclined to be flip-pant.
The other was dark and had
very little to say. Both seemed to ad-mire
. Ralph for his cleverness in see-ing
' them and making, them surrender.
About noon Friday the school officer
arrived and took them in charge. He
said they had given trouble before.
They, will be punished by being im-prisoned
- , at the school. One of the
boys;declared the Indians in the new
class! at Carlisle are very unhappy
and that all of them would like to run
away and go back home. Ralph Fiore
has beeii much praised for his nerve
in this case. So far as he could know
they were genuine burglars until they
came forth from the hiding place:

How Churches pi the Town
Unite in Special Services
Practical and Profitable Instances of
Cordial Co-operation. Tlie Spirit
of lisist Summer was Repeated
at Thanksgiving and the
Congregation Filled.
For the firsfTzme all the churches of
Hershey united in services last sum-mer
and their union meetings in the
park and in the amphitheater when it
rained drew splendid audiences. Sev-eral
times many more than a thousand
were present. They drew people for
miles around.
So popular was the idea and so
fruit ful was its working that when
Thanksgiving came along the churches
decided that they would repeat their
plan, and the result was altogether
satisfactory. At 10 o'clock Thursday
morning the Lutheran Church of the
Holy Trinity was filled and latecomers
had to take extra chairs. Usually a
Thanksgiving service at ten in the
morning draws a slim attendance, but
in • Hershey the congregation was
notably fine and the choir was one of
the largest Hershey has known. The
spirit of union and gratitude prevailed
throughout. John Irwin Meek, who
had charge of the Lutheran Church
during the summer, and who will
shortly conclude his theological course,
conducted the main services and he
was assisted by Rev. N. L. Linebaugh,
pastor of the United Brethren Church.
The sermon was delivered by Rev.
George S. Rentz, pastor of Derry Pres-byterian
Church. It was a broad,
forceful , patrioti c review and eulogy
of the day and its great meaning. He
emphasized the duty of the people of
Hershey being especially grateful for
the special blessings they enjoy . The
music was excellent and praise is due
to Mr. Dubois for his fine singing.
A generous collection was taken and
as usual it was sent to the Harrrisburg
Hospital..
Lutheran Men's Bible Class
Delightful Social Held at the Hershey
Cafe. The Speeches
One of the successful organizations
of the town is the Men's Bible Class of
the Lutheran Church of the Holy
Trinity. . Last week John Irwin Meek
was in Hershey and it was considered
a good time for the class to meet and
get a finer start for the winter's work.
It also served as an inauguration of
the new teacher, Mr. E. L. Bomgard-ner,
who is regarded as the best man
for the work. The class has entered
upon its hew season with increased
enthusiasm.
There were over '30. at the meeting
and a delightful luncheon was served
by Manager Krause. It was enjoyed
by all and then with songs from the
hymnal the program was begun. Dr;
Mumma presided and gfacefully di-rected
the different speakers, who
were Rev. G. S. Rentz, Rev. Mr. Lam-bert,
of Lebanon; Hon. G. D. Moyer, „
John 'Irwin- Meek ,- James Millard,
George Copcnhaver, E. L. Bomgard-ner,
and L. R. Meekins.

Lar ge Crowds on Sunday
Enjoy the Union Services
N ext Sunday the Lecturer Will Be
Montaville Flowers,, of California ,
Who Is One of the Most Pop-ular

There was an excellent attendance
at the union services last Sunday. Ail
four services held this year have'
drawn crowds and the popularity of
the course continues. Mr. Bomgard-her
presided. The prayer was made
by Rev.' H. S. Games, pastor of Zion
Lu theran Ch u rch ,- Hummelstown'.
Harry Witmeyer led the singing, and
E. J. Krause was at the piano. As
usual, the congregational singing was
excellent. The lecture was on "Op-timism"
and was a spirited and force-f
ul' message of joy and right living,
by Charles. William Heathcote. .
Next Sunday promises well. In ad-dition
to the familiar program there
wil be the Moyer Brothers' Quartet,
of Palmyra. The speaker will be MCon-taville
Flowers, of California, who is
one of the most successful platform
artists. He- is not only a lecturer but
a. leader in illustrated acting and he
keeps his audiences deeply interested.
He has spoken in all parts of the
United States. He is a graduate of the
Ohio Northern University, the Ohio

spent three years as special student
under Dr. P. V. N. Myers, the his-torian

elected him president. Meantime he

begin at 3 o'clock. All are welcome.
A Play Worth Seeing
Guy Bates Post in "Omar, the Tent-maker,"
at Harrisburg
"Omar, the Tentmaker," which
comes to the Orpheum, Harrisburg,
for two performances, matinee and
night, Saturday, December 4th, is
rich in suggestions of the Orient—the
plot and counterplot form an intensely
interesting drama, but the principal
interest centers around the' char-acter
of Omar Khayyam, " inter-preted
by Guy Bates Post. The var-ious
phases of the role, the ' grave and
the gay, the loving and. the reckless,
are all given with the fineness of are
that make this picture of the poetic
tentmaker one to be long remembered.
The -royster er. of- the tavern was a. dif-ferent
Omar from. the. loving father of
the little Shireen, hut at no time has
Richard Walton Tully, the author, for-gotten
to suggst the great and subtle
mind .that was undoubtedly possessed
by the ancient Persian poet. He gives
him a large philosophy of life that is
beautiful , and the verses that have
been taken from the Rubalyat have
been selected with the idea of present-ing
tho ideal instead of tho more
earthly phase of Omar Khayyam's
character.
Perhaps the most beautiful feature
of the play are these quotations. In
constructing tho drama Omar Is given
two dreams, In which his philosophy
is propounded-one the scene In the
potter 's shop, while In the other , his
soul , when tortured , disembarks from
the sorely tried body and peers behind
the veil. Mr , Post's diction Is perfect ,
and lovers of Omar Khayyam will en-j
oy a treat In this presentation, '
