Losses From Field Fires, Woods fires created considerable havoc between Danville and Cata wissa for some time past. Paul Shultz, son of James Shultz, of this city, who occupies one of his father'! tarras, lost a whole field of corn and fodder, which was burned in the shock, also 150 rods of fencing and nearly all his timber. The fire started from a spark thrown from the engine at Woodruff and Nelson's saw mill. The fire was soon a conflagration that spread with race horse speed, approaching within five rods of the farm buildings. For a while it seemed that the house and barn were doomed. A crowd of some sixty persons had gathered to assist fighting back the flames. By night fire was under control. An Optical Illusion Explained, The Richmond Recorder says: "It is curious how much faster a street car humps along when you are run ning after it than when you are riding on it. It is also curious how much faster the "Atlanta Special" actually moves than it appears to one riding on 11, to go; uut tne explanation is plain the Seaboard Air Line road bed is so perfect that trains move over it at a speed of 60 miles an hour without jolt or jar. The "Atlanta Special" is the Seaboard Air Line's Vestibuled Limited Train, operated solid between Washington. D. C. and Atlanta, Ga.. via Fredericksburg, Richmond, and Tetersbure, Va., and Raleigh, N. C. Important Civil Service Order. President Cleveland, last Friday, signed the most important civil ser vice reform order he has ever made. under which all postoffices which are not near enough to a free delivery office can lie brought within the class ified service, and which, in its prac tical operation will enable the post master general to divide the country into large postal districts, so that the postmaster at the metropolitan centre will be the only official, high or low, in the postoffices of the district who will be outside of the civil service law bringing seventy-five per cent, of all offices of all classes in the classified service. The order will work a revolution in the postal service, but Postmaster General Wilson proposes to apply it gradually and cautiously. Tapped the Susquehanna. The Ravine Mine of the Newton Uoai Mining company at rittston is in danger of being flooded by an acci dent that occured last week. One of the miners, while at work; fired a blast with the object of taking down rop coai. 1 ne concussion opened a seam in the roof that caused a stream of water, sufficient to fill an eight inch pipe, to pour in with great force. Alter waiting for some time in hope of it stopping, the engineers were sent for. Alter a thorough investigation they discovered that the leak came from the Susquehanna river, and as yet have not been able to devise plans to stay the inpouring stream. Three large pumps have been put to work, and it is only with the greatest diffi culty the mine is kept from filling up, 1 ne mine is one ot the most pro ductive of its kind in this valley, and is owned principally by George B. Newton and Frank T. Patterson, of Philadelphia. He Sleeps Incessantly. Amos James Manning, of Ml Car mei, is a wonder to the medical pro fession. He is afflicted with a malady that causes him to sleep twenty three and a half hours per day for weeks and even months at a time. Nothing appears to help him in the least, and doctors have given up all hope of get ting him out of that condition. Man ning is thirty one years of age. Elev en years ago he was afflicted with an unnatural disease. He would go to bed and remain there for a week at a time, being awake but an hour or so a day, and eating but one meal, Then again for months he would be all right and worked steadily. 1 he disease grew upon Manning and it finally got so that the sleeping spells lasted for three and even four weeks. This state of affairs continued until aoout a month and a halt ago when he took to his bed, and re mained there until Wednesday even ing. During that time he was awake long enough to swallow a little food and then he would sink back into a dreamless death like slumber. Man ning resides with his mother, who has been a widow for nineteen years, but who says she is unable to support him longer and he will have to be taken some where else.

For some time past complaint has been made that Kantz Dehart and his wife have been neglecting their two small children (both really babies) and the rumors assumed such a char acter that President of Town Council Creasy felt called upon to take some action in the matter. Last Thursday morning they were both in town, with the children and were arrested and brought before Guy Jacoby Esq., who after hearing the evidence com mitted them to the care of the anerin. rrom tne evidence it ap peared that the neglect consisted not so mnch in the want of providing sufficient food, as it did in real neglect of them caused by the intem perate habits of both parents. That they would both become intoxicated and drag the children through the streets at all times of night. Upon one occasion, one of the children was found in the creek bridge, evidently hav ing fallen from the buggy, and the par ents had gone home never missingt. On another occasion, one was taken into the house of Mr. Barton and cared for. A writ of habeas corpus was issued and they were taken before Judge Ikeler who after giving them some wholesome advice, notified Chief of Police Knorr to give written notice to the overseers of the Poor of Bloom and Montour Poor Districts to keep a diligent watch, and at the first in timation of the want of proper care of the children, to advise the Court, and he would cause them to be brought before him and deal with them according to law. It is to be hoped that this will be the last of the matter -and that they win give tneir cniidren proper care and treatment.
