ALONG THE RIDGE OF DEATH
Stretch ol Gronad lm PaylTl
Which Harbor Myatery
and Horror.
In Pennsylvania, and fairly In the mldat
of a beautiful and peaceful countryalde.
thfra has come to llsht a atretth of ground
wrlch aeema to harbor torai Influence o
n-allti). o flendlahly bloody and cruel, that
cnly an endleaa toll of human victims can
satisfy It
Murder and aulolde have for years gona
on in that dreadful vicinity, with abao
lutely no explanation dlactverable that can
account for the appalling aucceaalon of
inlfortun-a and Crimea.
Myetery and horrvr; theee ara tha two
rlrmcnta that surround. Inexplicably, tha
Ridge of Death. In Mount Joy townahlp.
l4Uca.ler county, Penne IvanU.
Thai fearful Ridge of Peath. as It hae
uui to b called, wind along tha north
ern aid of the well known gravel hllla
of the townahlp. They aklrt the extreme
limit of Milton Grove, beginning at the
foot of Green hill and running westward
for a couple of miles until thry terminate
at tha brook cloae to Oakdale school houxe.
There, in tha fatal ridge, and especially
at the spot known aa Bullrush Clump, ihe
horrors of sudden death by accident, by
suicide, aven by murder aeem to await all
men and women.
Years ago, among tha earlier settlers of
tha neighborhood, were John Kinsley and
hla wife. They lived. Industriously and
happily enough. In one of the humble cab
li:a of their period. Klnaley knew no rea
son, no Incentive, for his wife's action. It
aeemed as though, with her, the dormant
demon of tha Ridge of Death had chosen to
begin his terrible aeriea. Kinsley, return
ing to hla hdme ona day, found his wife
hanging by a haltar titi, atone ad.
Almost Immediately there followed tha
tragedy of Fenny Dotley, nar by, a fate
remembered with horror by tha neighbor
hood to this day. Her cabin caught fire;
the biasing, falling timbers, by orac
strange chance, barred ev. ry opening; she
waa literally burned to death at her own
hearthstone.
Barely a year elapaed when Henry Helt
was found, In an adjacent grove, with hla
skull cruuhed In by the bludgeon of nn
aasaaaln whose Identity waa never learned.
A few months more and Johannes Fisxel
was discovered, dead, at the end of the
rope with which he had hanged himself to
a tree of the deadlyrldge.
When the next year came, Frederick
Kiser met hla fate there at the hands of
highwaymen. They had robbed and mur
dered him, and his corpse waa atumbled
across by a party of woodsman.
In appalling succession there ensued a
chain of fatalities. Henry Trely, descend
ing a hill on horseback, was flung from his
mount. He struck on his head and his
neck was lriBlantly broken. A little later,
only twenty yards from the spot where
Trely fell, the body of an unknown suicide
was found, as though the demon of the
place did not limit his malignity to the
residents, but seized upon any who pasaod
that way. Only a brief period elapsed and
then Mrs. Orosenwalt, arriving at that
very spot, killed herself.
Follow the ridge westward and you will
come to the old home of John Young who
wan fated to etand by, helpless, while h i
daughter burned to death.
A few ste; beyond and ycu come to tha
close-set bunhes where John Fulmer'a cow
ardly assassin hid his corpse after shooting
him from ambush.
Vp on the highest spur of the hill range
the wondering traveler will see Ihe dwell
ing of Valentine Zerphy, whose son, John,
his pride and his hope, was dragged to a
horrible death by a young colt suddenly
terrified, as though the beasts alone cm
behold the evil spirit that broods over the
Ridge of Death. Stand In the doorway of
that same house and you will be standing
where David Martin, another tenant of its
lll-onirned walls, greeted with bis face of
j pallor and his cry of grief the corpse of
j hla son, when the neighbors brought tho
young lenow home from the scene of his
murder by an unknown assassin.
' The most alnoere party has been no exor
cism. Near by la the spot whore Anna, the
pretty daughter of Rev. Jacob Eshelman,
was found dead by the roadside.
Go to the nearest farm house and you can
step Into the room where they laid out the
torn and mangled corpse of its owner,
Michael Rendler, after he was dragged to
death by hla runaway horse.
Turn to one of the western cllffa and you
can see the spot where Harry Walter,
young, and but recently married, hanged
himself.
And walk a little way, Just to tha north
of the Insatiate Ridge of Death, and you
gate upon tha graves of tha whole Kralder
family father, mother and four children
all murdered at ona time. Philadelphia

TIMELY HINT FOR BANKERS
Letters of Credit Should De Draws
Tbroaih American Iaatlta
tlnm. In regard to the manner of drawing
fitters of credit, Consul Samuel C. Reat
St Tamaul, Formosa, writes to the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor;
For over ha'.f a century It has been the
Invariable practice to draw all letters of
credit on the United States through Lon
don. Thla custom had Its Inception In the
conditions of the times, for, with Its nu
merous dependencies and colonlea, Eng
land afforded the best facilities for the
negotiation of commercial documents. The
necessity for the continuance of this cus
tom no longer exists. Tha International
IiiMiklng corporation Is establishing branch
houses throughout the far east and Is of
'erUlf " desirable and convenient facili
ties for tha expedition of commercial affairs.
In Formosa the Thirty-fourth bank Is
the representative of the corporation,
which Is wa'l organized throughout tha
orient.
The amount of tea exported from For
mosa to the I'nlted States annually
amouuta to 2.J0,0UO gold. Practically all
letters of credit are negotiated through
London, and at the rate of one-fourth of
1 per cent, giving to London tanks yearly
about J'i.OX. which sum might go to
American bankers and he credited to Amer
ican finances as a part of the foreign
trade. This custom of drawing through
London Is not confined to Formosa, but
la followed li: other countries uh well.
If American firms would Instruct their
representatives abroad to draw their let
ters of credit direct through American
financial Institutions, not on'y would an
appreciable amount of money be turned
into American channels, but there would
be no fluctuation of exchange to be con A
sldered. Were this new policy adopte-ey
It would result In a dlMtlnct gain In the
financial prestige of the United blates.
I
