The festival at the Grange hall on the evening
of Memorial dav was an immense affair. The
hall was thronged from early in the evening un-
til midnight, at which time all the ice cream,
fruits, etc., had been disposed of.
It is reported that the Continental Condensed
Milk Co. will havea plant erected here and in full
operation by fall—possibly. The station located
here is certainly doing a very large business,
shipping daily from 1200 to 1500 gallons of milk to
the Mill Hall plant. The company collects milk
by autos. Thestation is a model of cleanliness,
all the utensils, cans and machinery are kept as
bright and clean as the proverbial new pin. The
floors are scalded and thoroughly scrubbed daily

of W. O. Gramley and Andrew Shook this healthy
condition could hardly be otherwise. The sta.
tion gives employment to over a dozen men.

Jealous Baby Kills Infant.
An unusual csse of alleged preco-
clous violence is reported in Newark,
N. J.
The authorities decided that the
death of the two-day-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Pezzano was due to a
fist blow on the head dealt by the in-
fant’s twenty-mouth-old brother, An-
gelo.

jealousy towards his new sister, and
had scratched her face in the presence
of witnesses. The baby died shortly
after being alone with her brother,
from a hemorrhage at the base of the
brain.
Confesses Murder.
David Everitt made a written con-
fession to District Attorney Streuss in
Sunbury, Pa., that he murdered Henry

the murder upon Frederick Nye, who
was his companion, and Nye was sen-
tenced to be hanged, Everitt receiv-
ing a sentence for manslaughter.
The case was taken to the supreme
court, which declined to interfere,
and an appeal is now pending before
the pardon board. Robbery was the
motive for the murder.

replaced, was found on a vacant lot in
Bloomfield, N. J.

which her name was written she was
identified as Mrs. Alvira Cerciello, the
wife of a Newark storekeeper.
Two hundred dollars which the hus-
band said she carried in her stocking
was missing. Her fingers had been
severed from her hands, and the
ground in the immediate vicinity gave
indications of a terrific fight for life.
