Big Shipment of Fish Fry.
Eighty Thousand Susquehanna Salmon Plac
ed In River at Danville.
The biggest shipment of wall-ey
ed pike or Susquehanna salmon
that ever came to any point on me
North branch arrived nt South
Danville on Wednesday morning
The shipment contained forty cans
Hie fish approximating eighty
thousand m number.
The fish fry are from the Erie
auxiliary Osh hatchery at Union
City. They were immediately
placed in the river both above and
Itelow town. Wherever possible
small eddies were selected as plac
es for putting the fish into the riv
tr, as such eddies afford a natural
protection to the small salmon,
which will remain there until large
enough to veuture cut in deep
water.
The Susquehanna salmon is con
sidered one of the finest food fish
extant. It is very gamey and is
caught chiefly by trolling, al
though a good many each season
are caught by still fishing.
During several years past a few
shipments of wall eyed pike were
placed in the river there, although
none came anywhere nearly being
as large as the last shipment. The
fry of each of these shipments bas
thrived and last season salmon
were caught that weighed eight
pounds. Some larger ones no
doubt will be caught this season.
The size attained in some instances
is enormous. Susquehanna salmon
lave been caught in the river that
weighed twelve pounds.
Obviously the fishermen of Dan
ville are doing the right thing and
they should be an example to the
Isaac Waltons elsewhere ou the
North branch, who should also ap
ply for salmon to the end that the
stream may remain stocked with
choice and gamey fish.
River Gives Up 6 of its Dead.
Boatmen, who thronged the Sus
quehanna between Wilkes-Barre
and Port Griffith, where nine per
sons were drowned last Sunday
week recovered six of the bod
ies that had risen to the surface
on Monday. These were found
between Wilkes-Barre and Port
Griffith. One was that of William
Andrews, the man who iuvited the
other eight to go out with him in a
small rowboat, and whose invita
tion resulted in their death. The
$240 which his visitors had paid
him for their rents was intact in
his pockets and was turned over to
his wife.
The other bodies were his two
brothers, a cousin, his sister and
her oldest boy. Two other bodies
ae yet in the river.

CIVIL COURT.
Continued from 1st page
the Sugailoaf crossing, providing
the passenger paid two fares to
Lnubach s, the station beyond.
After she had boarded the train
Join Bunting, who was acting as
conductor, came into the car and
she handed him some money, stat
ing that she desired to get off at
bunarloaf crossing. He replied all
right, and took out a full fare and
a half fare for cue of the girls to
Laubach s. When the train reach
ed Sugarloaf it was dark, and she
notictd that the tram was not go
ing to stop. She told a passeuger
to tell Scott, the conductor, that
she was to have been left off at the
crossing. He replied that he knew
nothing of it, and it was too late
now, and she would have to go on
to Laubach's. Bunting had left
the train at Benton. Arriving nt
Laubach's she refused to get off
the train, but Scott insisted that
she must do so. The children
were lifted off and finally she left
the train. It was dark and rainy
and she had a basket and bundle
to carry. The station was with
out light or agent. Finally a young
man appeared, and inquiring where
she was going, loaned her his lan
tern and told her the best way was
down the track, and she had gone
a distance of about 200 yards, her
foot caught in a switch rod and she
fell, injuring her knee. The dis
tance from Laubach's to where she
was going is about two-thirds of a
mile and it took her two hours to
get there, owing to her fall. They
would show the ligaments had been
torn and thai the injury was per
manent, and prevented her from
dcing her work.
Most of these allegations were
sworn to by Mrs. Keimard on the
witness stand. A number of wit
nesses were called for the plaintiff.
Before opening of the defense in
the case Mr. Harman moved the
Court for a compulsory 11011 suit,
stating reasons therefor.
Court then adjourned until Mon
day morning, when argument on
the motion was heard. The court
refused the motion.
Mr. Waller opened the case for
the defendant and said that before
the plaintiffs can recover damages
they must show that the defendant
has been guilty of negligence, and
that it has not beeu guilty of con
tributory negligence in doing what
it should not have done, or in fail
ing to do what it should have done
under the circumstances. The de
fense in this suit was three fold.
First, they would show that the
railroad company had net been
guilty of negligence or carelessness.
Second, tbat Mrs. Reimard had
been guilty of contributory negli
gence in walking down the track
of the railroad company when there
was a public road nearby which
led past her destination.
Third, that the alleged injury to
h?r knee was not the result of her
falling upon the track on the even
ing of Nov. 23, 1907, and that she
was not strong and healthy prior to
the accident as she testified. They
would prove that prior to the al
leged accident Mrs. Reiinard had a
running sore upon her left limb
above the knee, and Mrs. Brad
Long advised her not to work iu
the garden as it might produce
blood poisoning.
They would also prove that the
evidence did not correspond with
the declaration or statement filed
when the suit was brought.
A number of witnesses were ex
amined in support of the allega
tions made by the delense. On
Monday morning after arguments
of counsel and the charge of the
court the jury retired, and at about
7. to in the evening returned a ver
dict of $2000 for Mrs. Rtimard,
and $500 for her husband. A mo
tion for a new trial was made

When the baby has snuffles or cold she
gives a few doses of Peruna, instead of fill

When the school children have coughs

In a large number of minor ailments

All this has won the confidence of the

There is graft even in private
employment. Employing foreign
ers and suspending Americans lias
resulted in the foreman of a Lehigh
Valley shop at Sayre being dis
missed. An investigatio 1 develop
ed the fact that the foreigners paid
tribute in the form of graft to the
foreman. The foreigners who did
this boasted that they were thus
protected and would not be dis
charged or suspended. Several
Americans lodged c implaint againsr
this and were discharged, but a
subsequent investigation vindicated
them. This foreman was in league
with a padrone, who shared with
him the emoluments received from
conducting a commissary and for
renting box cars for tenements.
