              Mr. Cover, anticipating these plans,
began working from the floor down-wards.
This necessitated reaching un-der
the gate which is 14 inches from
the floor. John Ehein and Mr. Seltzer
were working within three or four feet
of Mr. Cover but neither they nor Da-vid
Baker on the elevator were con-scious
of the fact that Mr. Cover was
reaching into the shaft until the unfor-tunate
man was struck and the elevator
came to a sudden stop, due to automatic
machinery. These-men together with
Richard Gibblin, George Eppley and C.
V. Glynn released the injured man, A
special car was provided and he was
rushed to the Harrisburg hospital - and
everything done that could be done for
his comfort and restoration. All efforts
proved .futile and death occurred on
Tuesday'afternoon.
John H. Cover was 49 years of age
and was a resident of Campbelltown at
the time of his death. His earlier life
was spent in Lancaster and he lived for
several years in Harrisburg. Tho Mr.
Cover was a man of few words he had
a host of friends none of whom could
speak other than good of him. His
wife was buried only a short time ago
and he has no children. Two sisters
survive. They are Mrs. William Wey-land,
living near Campbelltown, and
Mrs. C. A. Lenig, of Campbelltown.
The funeral will be held on Saturday
afternoon at 1.30 o'clock at the home of
William Weyland, Campbelltown, and
at the Reformed Church in Campbell-town
at 2 p. m.

1 LARGE company of men were
present, last Sunday after-noon
in the Y. M. C. A. gym-
¦ I nasium to hear Mayor. Mar-quart,
of Lebanon, discuss the' subject,
"The Real Battle of Life." The speak-er
presented several examples from his-tory
where courage was demanded but
concluded that the real hero is he who
is conqueror of himself ; that the real
battle, af ter all, is in the moral .realm.
He who has the courage to stand for
the right, come what- may, is- the true
hero. A quartet composed of George
D. Keller, Jas. Keppley, W. R. Wick
and C. S. Gee furnished special music.
A man who studies revenge keeps his
own wounds green, which otherwise
would heal and do well. : •
