. PHILADELPHIA ASTIR.
The Gothamite has had little
chance to poke fun at what he is
pleased to consider as dormant Phil
adelphia. For the past week things
have been nstir in that town for
fair, with one of the most serious
strikes on record in progress.
The employes of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company have gone
out, and have been making things
hum. There have been mobs and
rioting all over the city; cars have
been stoned and burned; obstruc
tions have littered the tracks; and
several persons, most of them in
nocent bystanders, have been killed
or injured.
Three thousand extra nolieenien
have been put on the force, and the
Kencible-s were called out. The au
thorities are considerine the callins?
of the entire National Guird.
The entire force of the State Con
stabulary is already on the scene of
disorder.
Strike Leader Pratt has been ar
rested, which has served to further
inflame the strikers. Just what the
outcome of it all will be is as yet
au unsolved problem.

HIS BIRTHDAY.
Genial Jerry A. Hess, county
commissioner, celebrated his forty
fifth birthday last Saturday. No
one would suspect that so many
winters have passed over his bead,
but they evidently hive, and passed
pretty close to his cranium, for a
number of his hairs are missing.
Besides greeting his friends at the
Court house, the day was observed
by a dinner party at his home, got
ten up by Mrs. Hess in honor cf
the event.

WELSH CHOIR CONCERT.
Probably owing to inelemeut
weather, a small audience was
present at the Columbia Theatre on
Monday night to hear the Welsh
Choir concert. Those in attendance
pronounce it a very artistic and
highly enjoyable entertaiumeut.
FISHER MAY YET HANG.
Murdered His Own Little Son Several
Years Ago.
The following story comes from
the regions. It fihould be fully in
vestigated and if it is f jund on fact,
Henry Fisher, who escaped the
gallows last week by the grossest
miscarriage of justice, should be
brought back from the penitentiary
and nude to stand trial for this
brutal and unnatural crime : Henry
Fisher, the convicted murderer of
Mrs. Sarah Klinger, but whoescap
ed hanging because the jury bro
ught in a second degree verdict
may yet stretch hemp and go the
way which every citizen of the
county fee's he should go if the
story told by a relat.vc is true, for
Henry Fisher is a double murderer.
Miss Mary Mutchlcr,. whose si.stcr
is married to the murderer, stoutly
declares that several years ago Fish
er murdered his ow n child. The
woman states that in her presence.
Fisher picked up the child, which
was uged about two years, and
holding it above his head by tlit;
Inch, stretched the littleone's limbs
as far apart as possible, dropped it
on the floor, repeating the opera
tion several times, only ceasing
when compelled to do so by the
mother's tcreatns. The child sus
tained concussion of the brain an!
died. The physician in attendance
stated at the time that the child's
death was caused directly by Fish
er' horrible deed but as the man
was greatly feared, as it was alleg
ed then that he had openly declared
he had already killed several per
sons, no action was taken. Miss
Mutchler declares the story is abso
lutely correct and that she cm be
substantiated in it by the testimony
of the physician and one or more
other persons who know of the
circumstances. As there is no legal
limitation to the time in which a
person can be tried for murder it is
altogether probable that the district
attorney will thoroughly investi
gate the story and if the evidence
is sufficiently strong will have Fish
er brought back to Sunbury and
tried for the crime.
CANNED EGGS SEIZED.
Canned eggs, 1,200 pounds of
them in twenty-four cans, were
seized for condemnation by federal
inspectors in a storage plant iu
Greenwich street, New York, last
week. The eggs arrived in New
York from Chicago in September
last. This is the second big seiz
ure of canued eggs there since the
investigation of cold storage plants
was started.
COUNTERFEIT $10 BILL.
Counterfeit $10 bills of the series
of 1901 again have made their ap
pearance. Three have been passed
in Washington and Chief Wilkie,
of the secret service, says .the bill
is the same counterfeit which has
bobbed up in different sections of
the country during the last five
years. Tha bills all bear the same
number 2, 4 1 3,601 B.
MRS. HENRY MELLlCK.
Mrs. Henry Mellick died at her
home in Mt. Pleasant township,
on Monday, after a short illness
from grippe and rheumatism. Her
age was 74 years. Her husband
and one daughter survive her. The
funeral was held on Weduesday at
ten o'clock, going from the house
ta the Millertown church.
AN OLEOMARGARINE BILL.
At reauest of the Pennsylvania
State crange and the Dairy Asso
ciation of Pennsylvania, Congress'
man John G. McHenry of this dis
trict presented an oleomargariue
bill in congress last week, which,
if passed will further regulate the
sale of butter substitutes and plac
es a higher tax on them.
Foreign Missionary Society Met With
Mri. Roan.

Methodist Church was held yester
day afternoon at the home of Mrs.
George C. Roan, of Center street.

Mrs. C. II Kline, Mrs. George W.
Hess and Miss May Sharpless.
.
Ten Millions of Acres Deserted.
In the United States there are
16,000 square miles of deserted
farms.
That means ten millions acres,
an area twice mc &ic ui Massa
chusetts, half the size of Ohio,
enough land tor 70,000 farmers.
In the State ot JNew vors over
14,000 farms lay abandoned , in
Pennsylvania over half as many.
Value of farm lands declined
100.000,000 iu the New England
Srates between 1880 and 1900, de
cline for the same period in Ohio of
$60,000,000.
MANY MAY GO MAILLESS.
Bill in Congress Would Limit Service
to Users of Boxes.
Persons who live in cities and
have no mail boxes iu front of their
residences are liable not to receive
any mail after June 30, 1911. Cer
tainly, they will not, if a provision
of the Post Office Appropriation
bill becomes a law. The provision
prohibits any letter carrier from
delivering any mail at any bouse
unless there be a suitable mail box
on the outside to receive it. It
means that Uncle Sam is tired of
having his uniformed carriers wait
for persons to take their time in
answering their door-bells.
After many experiments it was
found that the average mail carrier
loses about 30 seconds in ringing
each door-bell and awaiting re
sponse. It is predicted that this
provision will greatly increase the
efficiency of the service and possi-
b'y reduce the number of carriers
required. A saving of $400,000 is
estimated.
The vast expenditure required to
meet the provisions of this bill in
the way of providing new mail
boxes is estimated at approximate
ly $20,000,000, as the average mail
box costs a dollar.
Carman Liberal on License.
New Judge Explains That Every
Unprotested Applicant Wins.
There was something of a sen
sation in Court at Wilkes-Barre on
Monday when a large number of
new applicants were granted liquor
licenses. For years past the Court
has refused to grant licenses for
new houses.
Speaking for the Court, Judge
Garman said it was within the
power of the people to regulate the
liquor traffic to a great extent, and
where they failed to remonstrate
against any applicant, whether he
was old or new, a license would be
granted.
Those granted licenses, however,
will have to be on their gocd bz
havior, for if they violate the law
they will be refused next year.
Dr. George G. Grotf.
Major George G. Groff, M. D.,
Ph. D., LX. D., professor of or
ganic sciences at Bucknell univer
sity, died suddenly at his home on
College Hill, Lewisburg, Friday,
at noon, aged 59 years. Dr. Groff
has been identified with Backnell
since 1879, and since then he has
been a resident of Lewisburg. Dur
ing 1887-1888 he was acting presi
dent of the university. In public
life Dr. Groff had been school
director, coroner, assistant surgeon
in the National Guard of Pennsyl
vania, a member of the State board
of health and agriculture and a
member of the State medical and
dentai councils. During the Span
ish American war he served as a
surgeon, and later was appointed
superintendent of instruction in
Porto Rico. Funeral services were
held at his late home Sunday after
noon. Monday the remains were
taken to West Chester, where the
interment was made.
At Columbia Theatre.
"The Girl from the U. S. A."
which appears at the Columbia
Theatre, Friday evening, February
25th. is slid to be a 'literary inven
tion. It makes everybody sit up
and take notice. Though showing
in its evolutions the social life of
the Orient in its two most striking
phases, it is so vividly American in
sentiment, so vigorously clever in
dialogue and astonishingly true as
to typs and characters, that no
one ever thinks that any of its ex
citing complications are other than
the natural events of real lifa por
trayed so strikingly. Of course it
is a love story. A story of hate also
with its twin Reveuge; of unlawful
desire and lawful triumph. And it
shows in vivid gleams the compli
cated politics of other lands, and
the close relationship of our own
Government with the one Free
Press on earth, whose mighty voice
controls the world, and decides the
fates of individuals and nations.
Food Too High For Church Supper
On account of the high price of
food the members of the Ladies'
Aid Society of the First Methodist
Church of Media, have decided that
a profit could not be realized and
so they will not hold the annual

SUFFRAGE BILL IN SENATE.
It Causes Excess Exhilaration on Part
of Young Woman In Gallery.
Senator Borah introduced a rcso
lution 111 the Senate on Monday for
an amendment to the Constitution
giving women the right to vote. A
suffragette up in one of the galleries
clapped lier hands, and for a mo
ment it looked as if the police
might have to interfere or the Vice
President command silence. The
young woman, however, was taken
to task by other women sitting
beside her aud subsided, to the
great relief of the Senate.
The joint resolution provides that
the Constitution shall be amended
so that thereafter there will oe no
sex discrimination in the matter of
suffrage.
