UllRI3riAN LADBAUfl DEAD.
Christian Laubach, a leading citizen
of Danville, departed tins lilc Monday
Afternoon. I lis death, which occutr
td at 11:45 o'clock, was entirely un
tipccted and caused great surprise
about town. But a few were aware
that he was ill. Although of ad
vanced years he was known to he a
man of vigor who generally enjoyed
remarkable health.
The cause of his death was an at
tack of pneumonia, superinduced by
a cold contracted during a visit to the
m sewer on lhursilay. lie was
considered quite ill on Sunday, but a
fatal termination, at least so soon, was
ot anticipated by the family.
His end was peaceful, sleeping, he
Dassed from life to death. At his
bedside when the end occurred, were
kis son, George and three daughters,
Mrs. Pierce, Mrs. Jameson and Mrs
Woods.
Christian Laubach was 87 years of
aje. He was born at Denton, Col
umbia county, February 21, 18 1 6
During his boyhood he clerked in :
store at Oranceville. In 1S17 when
tt years of age, he came to Danville,
He entered the employment of Peter
Baldy, clerking itj his large general
store. unt:l iSic. the year in which
the Iron Works were started, when
seeing the business opportunities that
presented themselves, he opened
store ol his own on Mill street on the
site now occupied by B. L. Marks
In 1S40 he built the block on Mill
street at D. L and W. crossing, which
is associated with his long business
career. Here in 1S50, he opened his
store continuing at one stand titty
years, until 1900, when he retired.
His business career comprised fifty-
five consecutive years and is probably
unsurpassed if equaled by any in Dan
ville.
Mr. Laubach never sought public
office) nevertheless he served in the
Borough Council and was elected to
the office of Chief B-irgess filling the
latter position about 1850.
He was nearly a lite lone member
of St. Paul's M. K. church. At the
time of his death he was the oldest
man in the congregation and he had
been a member the longest number of
years. His chanties and gifts to the
church were very larce. A man of
excellent judgment and ripe business
experience, his views or. matters ot
finance connected with the church as
well as on matters relating to the
general management, were eagerly
sought up to the day of his death.
The deceased was a widower, his
wife dying thirteen years ago. He
survived by five children.
is
Mrs. Emnu Woods, Mrs. A. W
Pierce, Mrs. Charles Jameson anc
George Laubach of this city and Mrs,
Ellen Rote of Philadelphia.
He was the last survivor and the
youngest ot a family of twelve children.
A brother, George Laubach and a
sister, Mrs- Poll lkeler, ot Three
Rivers. Michigan, both died at an ad
vanced age, the former at 96 years
and the latter at 90. Ji ;. r Amer
ican. The deceased was tn uncle of
Daniel S. Laubach of East Third
street this town and there are many
other relatives residing in and about
Benton. A number of the up creek
relatives attended the funeral which
occurred on Thursday.
Had Murder in flu Heart-
Centralia's representation in the
Columbia County jail was added to
on Tuesday wben Joe Antheg was
incarcerated on the charge of as
sault and battery with inteut to kill.
The object of his hatred was Lewis
Swatski. The two it would ap
pear have not gotten along very
well for some time and Kid Wood
has at various frequent intervals
manifested itself. Antbeg's bad
behavior reached a climax on Mon
day when, after loading up on poor
whiskey he went at Swatsky with a
razor. That he didn't accomplish
his purpose was due solely to the
ratter's alertness, who barely missed
two vicious hinges. Antheg was
arrested and iven a hearing Ivfore
Justice Ryan of Centralia. He
made no effort to refute the impu
tation ami being without any bail
he was committed to Sheriff Kr.otr's
keeping to await court. Constable
Owen Cain and Peter Corrigan es
corted him to Bloomsburg.
Antheg is from all accounts a bad
actor. He was never without
deadly weapons and oitimes had
them exposed to view sticking out
of his pockets. People generally
were afraid of him and his being
locked up has occasioned a feeling
of relief over Centralia way.

for the depositors in the defunct
Rockafellow Bank of Wilkes Barre.
The bank failed in 1893, having
liabilities of $887,000, and of this

The farmers of the Cumberland
Valley arc concerned about the
gathering of their grain crops, fearing
that considerable may be lost on ac
count cf the continued rainy weather.
The corn and potato crops are also
suffering from the wet weather.

The harvesting of wheat is being
delayed in Votk county by wet weath
er and the lack of labor. The
wet weather has caused the wheat to
ripen a week earlier than usual, and,
rain or shine, farmers will have to be
gin the cutting at once. The crop
has fallen behind that of last year,
The hay and oats crops have failed al
most totally.
To stay the ravages of scarlet

A Good Thing.
The placing of a policeman on
Market street on Sunday nights by
Mayor Townsend is an act that is
highly appreciated by all the resi
dents m that section, bor years
the corner of Third and Maiket has
been the gathering point for a crowd
of young men who seemingly are
waiting tor the girls to come out
of the Methodist church. During
the hour or so that thev loaf there
thev trample upon private lawns
and use language so profane and
indecent that ladies have been
driven from the porches. All this
has been rehearsed m the papers
tune and time again, but no atteu
tion was paid to it. and the nuis
ance continued. Folicjman Win
tersteen was in charge last Suuday
night, and it was as quiet and or-
derlv as any one could desire. He
kept the crowd movinr, and the
loafers had to look for other quart
ers. it it cant be broken up in tms
way arrests will be made.
Landslide Delays Trains.
A big landslide on the D. L. &
W . Railroad near Beach Haven
delayed all trains for several hours
on Monday. The south boun
train due here at 8:47 did not arrive
until nearly eleven o'clock. Tons
upon tons of earth and stones slid
down upon the tracks from the hill
side and covered the rails to the
depth of nearlv three feet for
distance of sixiv feet. The pres
euce of a number of section hand
j un around a curve from where the
trouble occurred, in all probability
saved an accident, as it would have
been quite out of the question for
the engineer to stop the train in
time to avoid running into the ob
struction. The slide was attended
with a rumbling sound, which at
tractcd the attention of the trackmen
and they immediately investigated.
The wrecking crews were called
out and by evening the track was
clear.

AROUND TH8 WORLD WITH THE
Y. M- 0. A.
Richard C. Morse, for thirty-three
years general secretary of the Inter
national Committee of the . Yourr
Men's Christian Association, one 01
the first members of the World's Cen
tral Committee and a member of the
Committee of the World's Student
Eederation, has completed a tour
around the world in which he has
visited the Associations which have
grown up under his eye until they
now number 6,300 organizations with
600,000 members and reaching with
generous hospitality many times that
number of young men. Mr. Morse,
though not largely known upon the
platform, has been moving factor and
genius in this organization, in the
i6i days Mr. Morse traveled 33,000
miles. In Tangiers he found young
men ready to establish an Association
which should be the centre from
which other organizations should ex
tend throughout Morocco. Th's is
country with at least 3.000,000
young men ot virility. Mr. Morse
considers this one of the coming
fields for tht Association movement.
He visited Europe, where there are
3,000 Associations with 130,000
members. Many of these Associa
tions are celebrating their fiftieth an
niversary. An active Association ex
ists in Cairo, Egypt. In Jerusalem
there is a small Association with its
headquarters in the tower of David
Mr. Morse spent 5 days and trav
elled 6,000 miles in India. Here are
thirteen North American Association
secretaries who are spoken of by the
secretary of the Biblt? Society of Ind a
as men of unusual ability. Calcutta
has two buildings, and Madras one,
all three erected by Americans. The
impressions Mr. Morse received here
coincided with those of Bishop Totter
who was forcibly struck with the free
commingling of races irrespective of
caste in the restaurants, clubs, reading
rooms and meeting rooms, of these
buildings. These Associations in In
dia reach university students, to whom
the missionaries have not before found
access. It is a fact that every As
sociation secretary, who has gone out
to foreign parts, has been sent in re
sponse to the call of the missionaries
on the field. The number of lan
guages spoken in these buildings is
surprising to a visitor but not remark
able when it is remembered that there
are 714 languages and dialects spoken
in India. The Associations in these
commercial centers where the organ-
izations are located gather men from
France, Germany, England, America
and nearly every country. Mr. Morse
was especially impressed with the
worldwide hospitality extended by the
Associations to stranger young men
and the universal appreciation of the
organizat.on. These Associations re
gard as their standard the American
type of Association work, which seek
the weltare ot the individual young
man body, soul and spirit, and re
cognizes its obligation to reach with
its benefits men of every class and
occupation. In these countries sur
prise has been expressed that the
American Association has so readily
adapted itself to the men of the rail
roads, colored young men, Indians,
miners, students and the boys. In
Australia Mr. Morse met, with Associ
ations which had retrograded from
lack of competent supervision. At
conference of college me-.., th
largest ever held in Australasia
conducted by student secretary John
R. Mott, Mr. Morse was present, to
gether with the chairman of the
American International Committee,

and reception was extended to these
three leaders in our Association work
by men prominent in civic and eccle
siastical position. At Honolulu a re
ception was given by the prominent
men of the island. At San Francisco
Messrs. Morse and Mott were tender
ed a reception by the representatives
of the city.
The Associations of North America
have already established and help to
support similar organizations in fifty
ot the leading cities of the Orient and
South America. This work costs
them annually $So,ooo. Mr. Morse
states that there are as many more
cities and towns in these less favored
lands, including notably the city of
Manila, where there is urgent call for
help similar to that which has already
been extended by the North American
Associations.

"The blood is the life." Science lias never
gone beyond that simple statement of scrip
ture. But it has illuminated that statement
and given it a meaning ever boardening wilh
the increasing breadth of knowledge. When
the blood is "bad" or impure it is not alone
the body which suffers through disease. The
brain is also clouded, the mind and judgment
are affected, and many an evil deed or inv
pure thought may be directly traced to the
impuriiy of the blood. No one can be well
balanced in mind and body whose blood is
;mpu:e. No one can have a wholesome and
pure life unless the blood is pure. Foul
blood can be made pure by the use of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. When
the blood is pure, body and brain are alike
healthy and life becomes a daily happiness.
