[Photo by Diehl
Just three weeks after tbe fall
from his horse, death came to Edmund Parker Lord, at Mercy Hospital, of apoplexy, induced by the
fall. Thus passed away the spirit
of a noble man, whose death is not
only mourned at his Edgeworth
home, but throughout this Valley,
and by the hundreds of workmen
in the locomotive plant in Pittsburg,
where Mr. Lord was a leading
spirit. The deceased was improving at the hospital, and within a
few minutes of his death was reading a newspaper and smoking. At
six o'clock on Sunday morning last
the end came swiftly and painlessly. Mr. Lord was born in Saxon-
ville, Mass., forty-seven years ago,
and was graduated from the Sheffield Scientific School, of Yale University. While a young man he
entered the shops of the Pennsylvania railroad at Altoona, in an
humble capacity, but steadily work
ed his way to higher grades of
technical knowledge and ability.
He became superintendent of motive power of the Big Four railway
system at Gincinnati. In 1893 he
came to Pittsburg as general manager of the H. K. Porter company,
locomotive manufacturers. This
position he held up to the time of
his lamented death. When this
came, his devoted wife, who had
been with him at the hospital, was
at his bedside. The ability and resourcefulness of Mr. Lord rendered the Porter company the leading
maker of locomotives in this country. They go to every part of the
world, for service chiefly in industrial matters. The noble traits of
the deceased made him loved by
all in the great shops, a fact borne
out at the funeral services.
These   services   took place on
Monday afternoon, at the beautiful

LOCK THE DOORS
With the circus always comes the
riff-raff who make a business of following the show and incidentally looting
houses that are carelessly left open.
On Thursday Chief of  Police  Roach
picked up a suspicious character who
was trying to gain admittance to several residences under the pretext that
he had a gas saving appliance that he
would attach to open fireplaces for a
small price.   His scheme did not pan
out well as it was learned that he had
"done time" for crooked work and was
well known in other places.    His arrest is considered as an important and
timely   one for  it is thought that he
was the advance guard of the crooks
who follow the circus.   He was sent to
the works for thirty days for safekeeping.   There will be ample police protection today and you can assist the
officers by  taking the precaution to
lock the doors and windows of your
residence before you leave the premises.
