LANDIS CO'S HEW
If THiUEAD COTTER
Valuable  Machine For  Bolt
Makers Soon To Be Put
On The Market,
The Landis Tool Co. will add to its
manufacture of Universal grinders
that of a new machine for threading
bolts patented by Abram B. Landis,
the inventor of the 'company and
superintendent of the works. This
will make a new line for the company
and one that promises to ■ extend its
trade very largely and to proVe highly
profitable.
Mr. Landis has been perfecting the
machine for several years. His patent
consists of a tool for cutting the
thread on bolts and automatically
opening the thread-cutter and throwing out the bolts. The bolts must be
fed into the machine by hand, no
tool having yet been devised for fashioning the head on a bolt and cutting
a thread In the same operation. Mr.
Landis* invention is said to be a big
improvement over similar machines
now in use. An exhaustive test is to
be made of it at the Landis. shops before it will be put on the market.
This market is expected to be wkel
Bridge and car bolts and, in fact,
bolts for all kinds of machinery are
threaded and the tool that will cut
these threads best and quickest will
be sure of a large sale. The Landis
Co. I expects to make tbe manufacture
of this thread-cutter as big a line as
tbat of the Universal grinder and will
have a larger field than for the
grinder, because its use will be more
general. This means at least double
the business of the past year, when
the total figures were $13<">,000.
There is no question among the
Landis people as to the successful
introduction of the bolt-threader. It
is correct in principle and the only
test remains as to the strength of its
parts. It is confidently believed this
will be easily met.
The machine to be tested cuts
threads on bolts varying from one-
fourth inch to an inch and one-fourth
in diameter. The machines will sell at
from $350 to 8800 and $1000.
With the beginning of the new year
the Landis Tool Co. will take a big
stride forward and -become an even
larger factor than before in the industrial advancement of Waynesboro.

WEDDING BELLS.
A MOMENT'S CHAT
ABOUT THE OLD TOWN.
LYON—RILEY.
Mr. and Mrs. JST. W. Lyon have returned from their wedding tour and
will make Waynesboro their home in
the future. Mr. Lyon is a draughtsman employed by Frick Co. He was
married, November 27, in Harrisburg
by Rev. Dr. Gilbert, of Zion Lutheran
church, to Miss Edna JReiley. The
bride is very popular in the Capital
city. She is connected with one of
the Oldest Dauphin county families.
The groom's father is an official of tbe
Pennsylvania railroad and is located
at Harrisburg. During the three
months Mr. Lyon has been employed
here he has made many friends who
will wish for him and his charming
wife much happiness.
Notes ot The Railroad.
A prominent official is authority for
the statement that the W. M. 1\.
B_ will build a new depot in Hagerstown soon. It is said the company
wants the Middlekauff property,across
from the present depot, as a site for
tbe new building. It is said it has
offered $10,000 for tbe property.
W. J. C. Jacobs, traveling passenger
agent of the B. & V. R. R. and W. M
R. R. agent for the sale of tickets, to
western points, has been supplied
with a full line of tickets for western
destinations and now- furnishes transportation to all travelers from the
nearest ticket office instead of taking
them to Hagerstown or Cherry Run
and procuring western tickets for them
at those places. A full line of western
tickets has also been put on sale at the
principal ticket offices, Chambersburg,
Shippensburg, etc., the first time in
the history of the railroad.
The C. V. R.R. Co., Wednesday,
compromised a suit, in the Hagerstown courts, brought against it by
Cooper Bros., Winchester, Va. Cooper
Bros., who are oil dealers, have been
fighting the Standard Oil company in
the Cumberland A'alley, and charged
that the railroad company refused to
deliver a carload of ofl in Hagerstown.
The railroad company claimed that it
could not deliver the oil within the
city limits, owing to a city ordinance
prohibiting the storage of oil in large
quantities. The railroa%company paid
Cooper Bros. $286.06.   /

'wo weeks ago we had our last Chat. Then we talked about the
growth of Waynesboro more than a quarter of a century ago. In
the intervening time we have devoted more than one paragraph
to tbe growth of the new Waynesboro. We have taken some
space to.tell, too, of the growth of the weekly Waynesboro Record
and the daily Zephyr, because this growth has been particularly dear
to us and we believe it has been to you, also, be we allowed to take the
-number of new subscribers put on our lists and the many kmd words
received as measures of your interest in it. And, now, having talked
of the new, we'll take a little trip among the old things, if you will.
* * *
In May, 1867, Hugh M. Sibbet was elected burgess of Waynesboro,
H. C. Gilbert, Peter Dock, George Fourthma_n, Hiram Snider and
George Harbaugh] of G. were chosen as councilmen, and Jacob Breneman was given the office of constable. The first meeting of the new
council was held on May 16. Hiram Snider was absent, possibly
prompted to remain away by a certain delicacy, for the first work of
council was to elect him president. George Harbaugh was chosen
treasurer and Philip R. Welch, secretary, each for one year. The latter was to have for his services $21 and the use of council room (a big
thing it was to hold a borough office in those days). On June 3, Wm.
F. Horner was elected borough assessor at a compensation of $2 per
day for four days. A little later Mr. Horner was also made collector.
He was to receive 5 per cent, commission on his collections. E. Elden
was appointed clock tender for a year at a salary of $19.50. For this
sum Mr. Elden was to wind the clock, keep it in good running order
and to "furnish oil for the use of the clock." When he found that he
failed to comply with these directions he was to ''consider himself
discharged from further service." It is needless to say Mr. Elden was
not discharged.   He attended to his work faithfully.
During June and July council paid James H. Clayton $325.65 for
piking part of Broadway, now Broad street.
* * •  *
The trouble over the sewer from Church street through the Besore
and Philips lots and thence on west to the first alley, which had existed for some time, was not yet at an end and on July 1,1867, there is a
record of a request from John Philips, asking some information as to
who was to be "responsible to pay the expense contracted in repairing
said sewer." The question was left over until the next monthly meeting for disposition but the minutes of council have no record as to
what was done at August or future meetings during the year.
* * *
These records do tell, however, that Waynesboro's councilinen were
men who sought to represent the entire borough and that they were,
furthermore, men who did not hesitate to do physical work on the
streets, for which they w#re paid by council. On August 5, 1867,
President Hiram Snider was paid $10, and George Fourthman $8 for
"working on road." In these latter days it is not legal for a* councilman to be financially interested in any of the work, done under- the
direction or authorization of council. But if the councilmen took
advantage of the opportunity to pay a part of their road taxes by working on the street, there was stJiE another thrifty town officer.
Borough Assessor Wm. F. Horner was to work for $2 per day for four
days, but he worked longer and presented a bill for $11.30, and he was
paid, too.
* * *
-Chat, some time ago, gave a brief history of the fire company of
town, as told by Daniel Johnston, the oldest fireman of Waynesboro,
and the sale of one of the old fire engines. On October 7,1867, council
authorized this sale, but there is nothing to show that the engine was
sold.
In the minutes the next item of importance relates to the opening
of South street, now Second. An ordinance was passed providing that
"South street be extended from its preseht termination at an alley on
the east side of the lot of Jacob Adams, through the lands of the heirs
of James Brotherton (deo'd) and George Frick, to Broadway." The
street was to be 30 feet wide.
On March 2,1868, this ordinance was adopted: "That 363 feet by 33
feet of the lands of the widow and heirs of James Brotherton, deceased
jiud 3514-10 feet by 33 feet of the lands of George Frick be hereby appropriated for purpose of the extension of South street from its present terminus at a line upon an alley'adjoining lands of Jacob Adams
to Broad street of the same width as the present portion of said street
now opened, to wit: 33 feet."
* * *
The name of General James Burns, of well-preserved recollection'in
this town, appears on the minutes of council on January 6,1838, as a
complainant. General Burns, possibly, was not of quite as progressive
spirit or did not appreciate the great growth q_ the town through
manufactures as the residents of today, for he protested that the
erection of a smoke stack by Ly day and Lecron endangered his property. ^Nowadays smoke stacks are welcomed everywhere but council
evidently thought General Burns might havea cause for grievance, for
it passed a resolution to the effect that the General should appoint one
person and council one, the two to appoint a third, who were to inspect
the premises of Lyday and Lecron and report whether their smokestack
endangered surrounding buildings.—And that is the last told of the
matter in the minutes of council.
* * *
In May, 1868, these borough officials were elected: Burgess, W. G.
Smith; councilmen, David Hoeflich, David Rider, William L. Hamilton, Joseph W. Miller and H. C. Gilbert; high constable, John H.
Miller. Mr. Hoeflich was elected president of council and Mr. Miller
treasurer and Geo. W. Welsh was chosen secretary at a salary of $21
for the year and the use of council room. Improvements occupied the
attention of this council to a large extent. At its first meeting it was
ordered that Mechanic street, between George -Besore's dwelling and
Harper's hotel, be repaired immediately and H. C. Gilbert was appointed "to have said repairs made." A week later Wm. P. Weagly
was ordered to have his pavement'repaired.
An amendment was adopted to ordinance No. 2, by which blacksmiths
and carriagesmiths could occupy six feet on Main street, next tbeir
premises, on which to keep wagons while repairing the same and for
24 hours thereafter. This amendment was, afterward, reconsidered
and voted down.
For the year 1868 William F. Horner was elected assessor and collector and Alexander Leeds clock tender at a salary of $25 per year. The
tax rate was fixed at six mills for bounty and four mills for borough
purposes, with one dollar for poll tax, and the collector was allowed
four per cent, tone percent, less than in the preceding year) for collecting these taxes. In July council ordered that the alley in the rear
of Joseph Bender's lot be repaired by having a stone wall built to prevent washing.- It was also determined to macadamize Mechanic and
Church streets from "Northern end to a point to be determined by a
committee."
* * »
Under this council began the trouble concerning the sewer from
Besore's through the property of John Philips, Eyler,Benedict, Snively
and others. The water way there did not carry off the water as fast as
necessary in order to protect the adjoining properties from damage
arising from an overflow, and one defective portion of it was on the
property of Mr. Philips. On July 24, council resolved to notify Mr.
Philips to enlarge the "water course" (as it was then denominated),
and a committee, consisting of Messrs. Miller, Rider and Hoeflich, was
appointed to confer with him "prior to such notification."
The committee did not meet with any encouragement. Mr. Philips .
refused to have the course repaired. He did not believe he should
be asked to bear the cost of the repairs but he agreed to have the
question, as to whether he was compelled by law to have the drain repaired, decided by a case stated to the Common Pleas court of this
county. Council met him half way and ordered President Hoeflich
to employ counsel for the borough.
The council of 1868 did not accomplish the repairing of the water
course and in May, 1869, new borough officers were elected as follows;
Burgess, George Fourthman; councilmen, John W. Coon, F. Fourth**
man, Thos. S. Cunningham, David .Hahn and W. A. Reid; high constable, John H. Miller.
* # *
The new council took up the old council's burden, the sewer question,
and employed J. McDowell Sharpe, Esq., Chambersburg, to prepare
a written opinion on the subject.
On June 21, council resolved that "John Philips be notified to open
and remove all obstructions from the water course, passing through
his lot, in 10 days, and that upon his failure to do so the council would
have the same done." But Mr. Philips was evidently a fighter. He
was a leader in banking circles, earnest for the welfare of the town
and a public-spirited citizen but he was of the opinion that it was not
his duty to open the water course and he refused to do as council bid.
Besides, he had made an agreement with the former council to submit
the matter to the court and helheld to this.
Council was obdurate,too, and on July 9 resolved to "open the water
channel through the lots of John Philips, Peter Benedict and Eyler's
' heirs, on Saturday, July 10, commencing at 10 a. m."
* * #
Whether or not council did as it resolved to do is not told in minutes.
Nothing further is read of the matter until in the minutes of October
11, when a draft for $25 was granted J. McDowell Sharpe, "for written
opinion in the matter of the water drain [what a variety of names
that water way did ha veil through lot of Jno. Philips."
Then occurs this entry: "Resolved that all costs, charges and expenses
including defendants' attorney fees, which may accrue or be awarded
against the defendants in the suit in the court of Common Pleas of
Franklin coaftty, brought by John Philips against W. L. Hamilton,
David Hoeflich and H. C. Gilbert for opening drain through the lot ot
said Philips, be paid out of the treasury of the borough."
That is the last record the minutes contain concerning the water
way or sewer. No mention is made of the cost of the case in court or
what disposition was made of the matter. A search of the court house
records in Chambersburg, however, shows that on July 16,1869, a
summons on the councilmen was issued and served on July 23, and
there the court record ends.   The case-never came tp trial.
It is a matter of common knowledge, however, that the sewer was
built and is now snugly hidden under grass ptols and vegetable
gardens and performs its work of carrying off the water from Church
street in a very satisfactory manner. ^:

IN BALTIMORE.
Bell Boy Opened Gas Jet Which He Did Not
Light—Clerk   Saved  The  Ex- T*
Postmaster's   Life.
Ex-Postmaster A. D. Morganthall
made a narrow escape from death by
asphyxiation in Baltimore Friday.
Mr. Morganthall was stopping at the
Howard House, on North Howard
street, and retired at 10 o'clock.
At 1 o'clock the clerk at the hotel
noticed the odor of escaping gas and
after a search located it as coming
from -the room occupied by Mr. Morganthall. The clerk gained an entrance to the room and found Mr.
Morganthall in an unconscious condition. Windows and doors were thrown
open and a physician summoned. The
latter after hard work succeeded in
resuscitating Mr. Morganthall and he
was able to come to his home in
this place next morning. He suffers
some from his experience.
Mr. Morganthall is of the opinion
that when t-fe bell boy lighted the gas
in one jet he accidentally opened another jet. When Mr. Morganthall
was ready to retire he naturally turned off the lighted jet and did not try
the other.
Waynesboro Man Killed By His Brother-in-
Law In Colorado.
Waynesboro people will recall the
murder in Pueblo, Colorado, more than
a year ago, of Christian L. Funk, a son
of Mrs. Aaron Funk, who resides east
of town. For a number of months his
murderer was unknown. Recently his
b_!p»ther-in-law was charged with k__l-
ing him and the evidence is said to be
sufficient to convict him.
Mr. Funk and his brother-in-law
were interested in a big mine. Eacb,
it is said, desired to secure the interest
of the other and the brother-in-law
killed Mr. Funk to.the more quickly
effect his purpose. He also was
prompted to the deed by the sum of
more than $1000 on Mr. Funk's person.
This* sum he stole from Mr. Funk's
body after he had murdered him.
The fact that the brother-in-law
began to spend money freely after the
murder led some to suspect him* He
also began to drink heavily and in- a
drunken moment made admissions
which, it is asserted, wilUfc^victhini,.

TWENTY ACRES
IN Wl LAKE
Built On Mountain Top For
Harvests Of Ice And
Pleasure.
Numerous as are the attractions for
the summer visitor to the South
mountains in the vicinity of Pen-Mar,
Buena Vista and Monterey, they are
to be enhanced by a monster lake
which will in the warm months provide pleasure and in the winter (when
the temperature is low enough) ice
for the use of hundreds of consumers.
The Western Maryland Milk Co., of
which W. W. Patterson is president, is
building the lake. It has acquired 43
acres of ground near Germantown and
will give up 20 of these acres to the
lake, into which will be emptied all tiie
streams of the entire mountain side
which can be made available. Not
much work is required to construct
the lake as the hills form the natural
sides and the W. M. R. R. embankment constitutes a part of the breast
of the dam.
The lake, which will be along the
main driveway from Pen-Mar to Buena
Vista, will be 815 feet in width. Just
now preparations are under way for
the erection of 10 ice houses, each
40x100 feet in dimensions and 32 feet
high. These will hold 32,000 tons of
ice. There are, also, being constructed
at present 1800 feet of railway siding
to the ice houses. A power house to
be equipped with a 40-horse power
engine and a 60-horse power boiler,
will be erected. Ice will be dragged
off the lake and deposited in the ice
houses by means of this plant and an
electric lighting system will probably
be operated by it, for skating parties
during the winter and boating fetes in
summer.
For the summer guests there will be-
also, private bath rooms, swimming
pools, boats, etc. Around the lake
there will be fine driveways and the
mountain streams will be beautified
with rustic bridges, benches, etc.
The ice from the lake will be used
for the refrigerator cars of the milk
company and sold to the hotels and
cottages on the mountain.
The lake and the features which will
be an accompaniment of it will, undoubtedly, add greatly to the attractiveness of the mountain as a summer
resort and the people of the vicinity
are enthusiastic over this new contribution to their picturesque and
popular summer vacation grounds.

Increase His Salary But No Action
Is Taken Upon  HI*
Request.
The regular semi-monthly meeting*
of the borough council was held Thurs-
day evening. A number of hills were
approved and drafts granted.
Council discussed various matters
which came before it but took no
definite action with reference to the
alley running south from Main street
west of Grant. This it determined
to repair. Big iron pipes will be laid
from the crossing at the street a part
of the way down the alley and tiie remainder of the alley will be cobbled*
thus affording a good water course.
Chief of Police Lamberson appeared
before council and asked that his
monthly salary, $40, be increased.
He could not afford to serve the
borough for the present remuneration,
he said, and intimated that if his request was not granted he would be
compelled to resign his position.
Council took no action but will consider the matter at a future meeting,
in the meantime making inquiry as to
a successor to Mr. Lamberson should
it find it can not increase his salary
and should he decline to serve for $40
per month.
