Alexander LYNCH, 65 years old, lost his life while trying to extinguish a fire in the barn of Jacob WHITE, of Norristown. LYNCH came to Norristown several weeks ago from Collegeville, where he had worked for years for Dr. ROYER. Having no home, he was given permission to take up his quarters in the barn. While he was experimenting with an oil stove Monday evening there was an explosion, and the next minute the second story of the barn was ablaze. The man had a chance to escape from the structure, but after running to the door and calling for help he returned and started to fight the flames. Then he was overcome by the dense smoke, and when the firemen arrived his dead body was discovered. The firemen had trouble in securing a supply of water, owing to the intense cold, and the flames were extinguished with snow.

J. Horace LANDIS, of Conshohocken, was on Thursday appointed Superintendent of Schools of Montgomery county by Superintendent of Public Instruction SCHAEFFER, at the recommendation of Governor PENNYPACKER. The appointment of LANDIS comes as a surprise to most teachers, for, had the election been left to the 650 instructors of the county, Charles T. WAGNER, of Cheltenham, would most likely have received the $2500 office. But left to the political powers, LANDIS, had the inside track, for in addition to his fitness for the office, he is a Republican, while his chief opponent, WAGNER, is a Democrat; and yet Superintendent HOFFECKER, whose death created the vacancy, was a Democrat and served for a quarter of a century. LANDIS, however, never took an active part in politics, but showed by his management of schools that he was a good disciplinarian. By a strange coincidence LANDIS' predecessor, HOFFECKER, was made County Superintendent while he was in charge of the Conshohocken school 25 years ago. The fact that County Leader HOLLAND was a neighbor of LANDIS and solicitor for the School Board, indicates that he gave his moral if not his active support to LANDIS' candidacy. The appointment is to fill the unexpired term of HOFFECKER, about 18 months, at the end of which time the County School Directors will elect for three years. Professor LANDIS was born at Gratersford in 1854, and was educated in the public schools of Perkiomen township, at Ursinus College and graduated in the Millersville Normal School, and took a course in the University of Pennsylvania. He received the degree of A.M. from Ursinus College in 1895. He served as Principal of the public schools of Mauch Chunk, Schwenksville and Lansdale until 1892, when he was elected Principal of the schools of Conshohocken, and has been re-elected ever since. He is a member of the Schwenksville Mennonite Church. He will serve until next fall, when the Directors will elect.
The family of Wellington MILLER, of Woodbourne, Bucks county, formerly of Hosensack, had a trying experience last week. Their twelve year old boy died on Thursday evening of diphtheria. They at once telegraphed directions for interment to relatives in Powder Valley and also stated that they would drive to that place and have the corpse there on Saturday afternoon. The hearse and a two horse team containing the MILLER family started on their long drive on Saturday morning. At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon they arrived at Green Lane and their four horses were tired out. They telephoned to the Keely House livery, East Greenville, to send four fresh horses to Green Lane, with which they continued their journey to Powder Valley, arriving there between ten and eleven o'clock that evening. When ready to lower the coffin in the grave it was found that the opening was not large enough, and as a result the mourners spent the night at a hotel and the next day the grave was enlarged and interment made. Burial was made at the Upper Milford cemetery. Mr. MILLER, was telegraph operator at the Hosensack station about 19 years ago. Mrs. MILLER is a daughter of John STYER, of Pleasant Run.

This bridge is the place where James WHEELER was robbed a few nights ago. "Wait a minute, gentlemen. We will trouble you for your money," one of the highwaymen said.
