\tter completing his education, he
served in various capacities in some
of Philadelphia,'! largest business
houses and financial Institutions nnd

under his careful management,
has been wholly successful.
Mr. Tracy Is frank, fair-minded and
progressive; Democratic to the last ex-treme,
of unquestionable Integrity,
and a thorough gentleman. He is ad-mirably
litle-cl for the office to which lie

By electing Mr. Tracy, the voters of

symptoms emanated from Ihe stroke
of paralysis with Which he was afflict

Mr. Harrison was seen aboul
ual on Sunday morning, although he
had expressed himself ns spending a
sleepless night Being left alon
short while he sought Ihe privac
frame office, on the rear of the- lot on
which his residence is located. II,
frequently spent many hours there In
either experimenting, writing Ol
other pursuit. When a neighbor went
to the office to consult him regarding
some matter he found Mi II
leaning against a table-. He Wl
and by his side lay a two ounce bottli
of commercial laudanum, half empty
and the fumes of the drug e-inatntin.
from the Inanimate body proved con
cluslvely that the laudanum had been
a prime factor in causing Mr. Hani
son's death.
Coroner McOlathery wasnotiti, ,| and
held an inquest this morning, when
the Jury rendered 1 verdict iii i
aii.e- with the facts as adduced Iron
nn examination of the body an I the
testimony of witnesses who had dis
covered the dead man.
Mr. Harrison was born in Norris-town
on February 6. 183.r>. At the Bgl
of twelve years he became appn
to the Iron business (in 1847) an I fed
lowed that vocation tor tii'iv
When Alan Wood, Sr.. Started in bus
iness Mr. Hnrrison was one of hi
employees and he was employ,-.I In M;
Woods industries In thil State and Del
aware. After Mr. Woods death b<
still continued in the employ of the in
dustry established by the senior Mr
Wood and continued to work for th.
various controlling Interest! of th.
Alan Wood family until he left the
mill In 1897.
Besides bis employment at the iron
works Mr. Harrison used to devoti
some of his leisure- hours to the imsi
ness of auctioneering and contl '
in this capacity for aboul thirty rear
Aside from his oth. r pursuits Mr.
Harrison, about fifteen or twenty yean
ago invented a roofing paint which
was found to lnst from three t - si
times longer thpn afiy other roofin

reputation and many of the

He also was of an inventive turn of
mind and although the inventor and
patentee of a number of processes and

few exceptions, did not prove- profit-able.
Although Mr. Harrison was a Re
publican he never cared to figure In
political life. He was a strict disci
pllnarlan in all things, attended strict
ly to his own business, and the thou
sands of receipts, book account! am!
other documentary forms prepared bj
himself to the last, and covering
