ENGINEER WAS KILLED.
M. C. Davis, Former Resident of Connty,
Stopped Train When Struck,
Engineer M. C. Davis, an em
ploye of the I) L. & W. railroad
company now residing at Kingston
but formerly of Berwick, r.nd who
is well known in this ciunty, was
killed nt Mt. Pocono Friday even
ing, his head striking the platform
hood of a freight depot as ha lean
ed from his cab.
As he died he stopped his train
and prevented a runaway down the
mountain and possibly a wreck at
the foot with its consequent loss of
life. Davis' last ret was to throw
on : he nir brakes, either deliberately
or by accident, to stop the train and
when the conductor ame up Davis
lay dead on the freight platform
having been knocked out of his
cab. The body was brought to
bcranton Sunday night at 11:30
o clock, and was taken to his home
on Monday.
Davis was running a "hog" No.
871, and waseastbound. The train
sped down the Pocono mountain and
passed Mt. Pocono station. Some
yards beyond the station there is a
crossing and east of the crossing is
a platform used for the unloading
of cars. The platform is even with
the car door, and it was on this
platform that the body of Davis
was found when t be conductor went
forward to investigate the cause of
the sudden stopping of the train.
Davis was aged about 35 years
and is survived by his wife, former
ly Miss Jennie Whitmire, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. George Whitmire,
of town, and an infant child, to
gether with his step mother and
two step sisters, residing in New
York City and the following named
brothers: Burton Davis, of King
ston; Fred Davis, of Kingston, and

George Rhinard, Mrs. Frank Cope,
Mrs. Norman Fedder, Miss Mag
gie Whitmire, Miss Susie Whitmite,
John Whitmire and Hiram Whit
mire, of Berwick.
Funeral services were held in
Kingston Monday afternoon.
Circus Pleased Crowds. J
Every section of Columbia coun
ty was represented in the two big
audiences that assembled Monday
in the show-tent of the John Rob
inson circus, and everybody was
satisfied with the entertainment
provided. Both parade and show
furnished plenty to interest young
and old, and the acts offered were
of a high class.
The big features of the show
were the performing seals, whose
juggling was truly marvelous, and
the lifting of the stroug man, who
lifted on his back twelve men,
standing on a platform. The per
forming elephants were good, as
were the horses. In fact, it was
difficult to pick out a weak part.
The clowns, bushels of them, kept
the youngsters and their elders well
amused. A realistic reproduction
of a lynching put a fitting climax
to both afternoon and evening per-1
formances.
The circus management was gen
erally complimented on the orderli
ness of its employes, and the ab
sence of "hangers-on seeking to
operate gambling paraphernalia.

.WESTON, Ocoan-to-Ocean Walker. ,
Said recently; "When you feel down
and out, feel there is no use living, just
take your bad thoughts with you and
walk them off. Hefore you have walked
a mile things will look rosier. Just try
it." Have you noticed the increase in
walking of late in every community?
Many attribute it to the comfort which
Allen's Foot-Ease, the antiseptic powder
to be shaken into the shoes, gives to the
millions now using it. As Weston has
said, "It has real merit." 6-3-4L
