THE MTJNOY BANK OASES.
green's trial postponed until next
march at scranton.
United States Court was held this
week at Williamsport.
The statement that De La Green's
new trial would come up created much
surprise. It will probably be remem
bered that Captain John M. Bowman,
president of the defunct First National
bank of Muncy, was found guilty of
perjury and one other count by the
United States court in Williamsport
one year ago. Through a petition of
Muncy people sentence was suspend
ed. At the same time ex Cashier De
La Green was found gailty on three
counts of the thirteen indictments. A
new trial was secured by his attorneys
and should have been had at Scranton
last March, but ii was postponed until
September at Williamsport, and the
impression got abroad that nothing
more would be heard of it. The com
mittee of directors of the bank, how
ever, brought the case to the atten
tion of the national authorities at
Washington, it is said, with the re
sult that the case is to be pushed to a
final issue.
Hon. II. C. McCormick, counsel
for De La Green, requested that the
court drop the case entirely, as a new
trial had been granted, unless the
prosecuting officer of the government
(Mr. Hall) had new evidence. Judge
Buffington said that this would be a
matter for the district attorney. United
States District Attorney Hall arose
and stated that he had been informed
by a committee representing the de
funct bank that there was new evi
dence, and that he was satisfied that
under the old evidence Mr. Green is
guilty.
The case was continued to Scranton,
March term, next year.
The Danville Nail Works to be Operated.
The purchase of the Danville Nail
Mills by Mess. R. K. Polk, T. J.
Trice, B. R. Gearhart, W. T. Baldy
and R. H. Wooley of this place, and
Mess. Jennings and Lynch of Harris
burg, last Thursday, caused great ex
citement throughout the town. For
some time past it was known that cer
tain parties were figuring on purchas
ing the plant, but it was a question of
doubt as to whether a reasonable fig
ure could be agreed upon. The above
named gentlemen paid $25,000 for the
Mills, a very small sum, as it is un
doubtly the best equipped plant in the
state for manufacturing nails. There
will be very little repairing necessary
to begin work and as nails have great
ly advanced within the past few
months it will likely be the intention
of the purchasers to begin operations
in a very short time. Several years
ago when the Danville Nail Mill was
extensively engaged in manufacturing
nails, from three to four hundred men
were employed there regularly and
though the present management may
not operate the mill so extensively
from the start, yet the business inter
ests of the town will be greatly bene
fitted by the employment given to an
additional number of men. Montour

ship, and Miss Mary Brobst, of Valley
Township, Montour Couney.
LEAD-SHOTS.
County Treasurer Fowler and Reg
ister and Recorder Ent, who went to
the wilds of Pine township last Satur
day, leturned Tuesday with a lot of
"squirrels. They say they shot them.
There were about as many stories
afloat in regard to the manner in
which they got them as there were
squirrels. . Some of their brother of
ficials declared they were purchased,
others maintaining that they had the
appearance of having been in the cold
storage. At any rate they had the
game.
Quite a large number of citizens
from the south side were at the coun
ty seat Tuesday, attending an audit in
the estate of M. G. Hughes deceased.
Death is not always the end of trouble
and litigation.

BLOOMSBfJRQ OAR MANUFAOTUB
INO 00.
The shops of the Bloomsburg Car
Manufacturing Company resound with
the hum of industry these days. The
company has orders for a large num
ber of cars, and they are working on
full time, with a large force of men.
C. B. Ohl is the efficient superintend
ent of the entire plant, and B. P.
Foulk is the car inspector. They
have an order for two hundred rotary
dump cars for the United States
Government. This car is a device
of J. K. Lockard's, patented by him,
and it has already gained a wide
reputation and is having a large sale,
both in this and in foreign countries.
. T,hey are als0 engaged at present
in filling an order for fifty box freight
cars which will go to South America.
This too is a device of Mr. Lockard's,
and they are so constructed that they
can be taken apart, and shipped com
pactly, so that when they reach their
destination they can be easily put to
gether. They are for a narrow gauge
railroad.
Besides these, they have orders for
gondolas and coal cars, and other
work on hand, which keeps them
busy.
AN EARTHQUAKE SHOOK.
The whole of New Jersey, Dela
ware, Pennsylvania, and parts of
other states were visited by an earth
quake at six o'clock last Sunday morn
ing. The 2'imes says :
So tar as can be learned the earth
quake started at the seaside and
moved westward. It was plainly felt
in all parts of New Jersey, Delaware
and Pennsylvania, and in portions of
other States. The shock was greatest
in the vicinity of this city. In West
Philadelphia and the suburbs to the
west and northwest it seems to have
lasted longest. Nobody was hurt, but
many slight damages to buildings and
their contents have been reported.
Everybody for the moment was fright
ened, and during the day the earth-!
quoke was about the only thing talked
of.
It was felt in many parts of this
state, but mostly in the soath eastern
portion. It was not perceptible at
Altoona nor Wilkes-barre, and no one
here observed it, so far as ascertained.
ATTRACTED ATTENTION.
Quite a number of our people had
their attention drawn Heavenward
Tuesday evening, and there was a two
fold reason for it. First, through the
kindness of Mr. West, superintendent
of the Electric Light Plant, the gilded
dome of the Normal School was light
ed by electricity and presented a
magnificent appearance. We are in
formed that it could be seen for miles
and the residents in the adjoining
town wondered what new Heavenly
body had suddenly appeared. Then
too, the eclipse of the moon which
had been advertised, appeared on
schedule time, and that occupied the
attention of many. It afforded the
young people an excellent excuse for
staying out late. Of course the ladies
could not watch it alone, and hence
the young men had an opportunity of
seeing their best girls such as is seldom
afforded. Take it all in all, it was an
eventful night.
Defective Sidewalks.
The following is from the Hazleton
Standard, " The Supreme Court
has rendered a decision to the effect
that a property owner who has been
notified to repair a defective sidewalk
can be held responsible for any injury
that may befall a pedestrain by reason
of his neglect. This being so, it be
hooves the Cobncil to notify at once
all property owners who have poor
sidewalks in front of their premises
either to repair the old ones or put
down new ones at once. Some of our
walks are veritable man traps, always
lying in wait for a victim, and broken
limbs or other injuries, with conse
quent suits for damages, are sure to
follow unless these sidewalks are
promptly looked after."
QUESTIONED.
Andrew Evans, and Henry Deiterich,
two of our expert fishermen, returned
Tuesday fiom Mud Pond, where they
have been putting in several days.
Judging from their reputation as
anglers, we were prepared for big
stories, but not quite as large as they
tell us. They claim to have caught
upwards of two hundred perch, but
there are lots of people living in the
upper end of town who are fisherman,
and acquainted with Mud Pond, who
doubt it. The Butcher and Merchant
are among the number. The total
number of fish visible cn their return
was sixty four.

Straw Ride,
Quite an excitement was caused
on our streets Tuesday evening by the
appearance ot two tour-horse teams
drawing large wagons filled with straw,
and on top of them were packed
about forty of the ladies of the Town.
Their destination was Danville, which
was safely reached. Everything pass
cd off according to programme, with
one exception. It was intended for
no one but ladies, and hence no gen
tlemen were invited, but, one of the
substantial men of West Main Street,
who knows a good thing when he sees
it, determined that this was an oppor
tunity seldom afforded, consequently
without an invitation, and really with-
out their knowledge he climbed
aboard.. When his presence was dis
covered, they were too far from Town
to put him off. That was quite a
scheme, David.
NORMAL S0H00L OPENING
The Fall term of the Normal open
ed regularly on Tuesday, but as early
as Saturday students commenced
coming in, and every train since then
has added to the number. There is an
unusually large registration this term,
but Trof. Welsh with his able corps,
of teachers is equal to the emergencyt
Since their advent the streets present
their old time lively appearance at
4 o'clock P. M. One thing that at
tracted our notice was the attention
paid the new students. The Y. M.
C. A. had committees appointed who
looked after them.
Coming as they did among utter
strangers it must have made their first
impressions of the school pleasant.
They are to be commended for
this act.
A SUCCESS,
An unusually large number as
sembled at the Y. M. C. A. tent last
Sunday. Inasmuch as it was near
labor day the services had reference
to that subject. The address was
delivered by W. L. Eyerly Esq., and
was pronounced by all who heard it
as being interesting and instructive.
Now that the weather has become
cooler the men of the Town are not
only invited, but urged to attend these
meetings. Special effort will be made
to have the services interesting. Good
speakers have been secured and a
good time is anticipated. There is
no better place in which our young
men can spend Sunday afternoon.
LEADS THE PROCESSION.
Buckalew Bros, always lead the
procession when it comes to improve
ments or anything in fact which will
add to the convenience of their cus
tomes. Wednesday morning they ap
peared on the streets with their bus
just from the hands of the painters.
The colors are beautiful and artistically
blended. Rus. informs us however
the fare will remain the same.
Street Commissioner IIouscl has a
gang of men cobbling the gutter along
me property 01 ts. 1, anarpiess on
