OLD DANVILLE CEMETERY,
On Bloom Street to be Removed.
The Danville Morning Xtws of
Tuesday says :
"There seems little doubt but
that the proposition to abolish the
old cemetery 011 Bloom street and
to establish a park on the sjxjt will
be carried through to success.
In all some eleven hundred dol
lars have been subscribed to date.
Some two thousand dollars is the
limit fixed as necessary to pay all
expenses incident to the improve
ment. A great deal of formality is
involved, especially in getting rid
of the cemetery, but no material
step will be taken in the proceed
ings until it is determined whether
or not the whole sum of money
needed can be raised.
It was learned that the intention
is to push the canvassing along as
rapidly as possible, finishing up, if
possible, this week. As a next step
tne old ininal ground will be re
A. . I
uirneu 10 court wnen it convenes
011 the 27th inst. There is no qne?v
tion hut that it will be condemned
although the exact form that pro
cedure may take beyond that point
is 1101 so ciear.
1 ne committee ot council in
whose hands the matter rests feel
quite confident both that the money
required can be raised and that the
borough will be empowered to
abolish the cemetery and to estab
hsh a park on the site."
This is a step in the right direc
tiou. The old grave yard has been
in a neglected and dilapidated con
anion tor many years.

candidate for Associate Judge, (Sec
ond term.) The rules of the Dem
ocratic Party of this county provide
that the office of Associate Judge is
in the two term class.
I am, however, not basing my
candidacy on this proposition alone,
but I ask my constituency to ex
amine my record as Judge, and if I
have performed my duties accord
ing to law, and in compliance with
my oath of office I ask for a re
election with the purpose of faith
fully executing the trust reposed
in me.
Since I have assumed the duties
of Associate Judge my salary has
been as follows: first year, $395;
second year, $435;third ye ir $445.
FIFTY BELONG TO BLACK HAND
In Shamokin Regions, Sayi Prominent Italian
Secret Service Plan to End Organiza
tion.
"Not two thirds of the crimes at
tributed to the Black Hand are
really committed by this organiza
tion," said a prominent Italian
resident of Shamckin Saturday.
He said, however, that without
doubt the society was organized in
the county. Asked how many
Italians belonged to it he said that
there were at least fifty in that
region. It is the belief that tbis
organization is in direct communi
cation with the New York and
Philadelphia branches of the society
and that its members who commit
crimes are spirited away to com
rades in these cities and are safe
from retributive justice as though
the earth had swallowed them up.
Secret service men sent out
through the alliance of the district
attorneys of New York, Philadel
phia and Luzerne county are ex
pected to end the reign of terror
that the Black Hand has exercised
for some time in the eastern States.
A net work of special police is to
be spread for the violators of the
law, which will effectually rid
Northumberland county of them.
The plan includes all the counties
in the State where the Black Hand
is known to exist. So far the au
thorities of Northumberland county
have not been asked for coopera
tion in the scheme but it is expect
ed that the plan will be made gen
eral.
The Italian above mentioned who
s thoroughly familiar with the
system pursued by the Black Hand
said that very few of the letters
supposed to be sent by the Black
Hand are the genuine articles. 1 he
real Black Hand missive is only
spot ot paper, blackened on one
side and with a skull and cross
bones on the other. Sometimes the
missive states what sum of money
s demanded and how long a time
is given for the accomplishment of
the demands.
"The Black Hand," continued
the speaker, "is a gang of organ
ized highwaymen and cutthroats.
They want to make money with
out working. All good thinking
Italians will be glad to see it exter
minated from this countiy."

OASVOniA,

and fourth year $435, or a total of
$1710 for four ears' service.
It will be plainly seen that the
salary received is not. an induce
ment to make a political canvass
for the otfice. There are others
who of course draw more. In one
county of this Commonwealth, the
Auditor General's report shows one
year's salary to be as high as
59-35 r nearly as much as I
received in four years.
I can only add that it is my pur
pose to execute this trust more in
the interests of the people than for
the emoluments of the office.
Respectfully soliciting your sup
port, 1 am,
Faithfully yours,

TRIALS IN COURT.
Nicholas Blace was charged with
assault and battery with intent to
kill. He was convicted of abusing
his wife, kicking her and threaten
ing to kill her. 1 he sentence was
that he pay the costs of prosecu
tion, pay a fine of $25, and go to
jail for four months. This case
was from Centralia.
Oscar Karns pleaded guilty to
the charge of stealing grain from
D. W. Parker of Greenwood town
ship. District Attorney Small stated
that the defendant had made resti
tutiou. D. W. Parker made a state
ment of the facts in the case. The
Court sentenced defendant to pay
cost of prosecution, fine of $10, and
go to jatl for 60 days.
Robert Home was convicted of
fornication and bastardy, the prose
cutrix being Salome Fetterman
The case was warmly contested
the defense being an alibi, a hotel
register at Sunbury showing that
Home was in that place on the
night of April 22, the time the
offense was said to have been com
mitted. The jury found him guilty.
A motion was made for a new trial.
SCRAP PAPER NUISANCE.
A number of times we have been
compelled to forbid children to
come to this office for scrap paper.
They scatter the paper all over the
floor, and often fling it into the
street after they leave the office
Besides that, the nuisance of
dozens of children daily coming
into a business office with their
ceaseless chattering has become un
endurable. We are pretty good
natured people, but this thing has
reached the limit, and children who
come 111 for scrap will now find a
sign on the door, which reads "No
scrap paper given away to child
ren."
Liz Skipped.
Lizzie Earhart who has been
running a disreputable house on
Hast Seventh street for some time
past, was indicted on Monday, on
the report of Constable Betz. When
the officer went to get her she was
not at home and has not been
found. A few courts ago she was
scared out of town, but she soon
returned and continued business at
the same place. She will probably
do the same thing this time.

A GREAT OFFER
For You Only
Read this announcement. It is your opportunity.
If you don't read it you will miss your chance. The
greatest magazines in this country have combined to be
offered together at a greatly reduced rate. Never before
was such an offer given to the public, and it is safe to
say never will be made again. This year several maga
zines have increased their subscription price, which
shows how much greater this offer really is. The only
reason we are making it to the people of tbis vicinity is
because the magazine finds they have not as many sub
scribers as they desire in this particular locality. But
only a limited number will be sold at this price, there
fore we advise every one to accept this offer without
delay. When we have received a certain number we
shall withdraw the offer.
