ENGINEER TO Afi-
PETHIS WEEK
The Trustees Monday were notified
by Joseph L. Sweigard & Company of
Philadelphia, who have the contract
for Installing the new newer plant at
Ilka Hospital for the Insane here, that
1 Aa engineer employed by the firm
would be at the Hospital this week for
' the purpose of making the necessary
* surveys, that all the material has been
" ordered and that this along with tools,
" "Ac., #lll arrive at Danville at almost
A ~afiy time.
The method of disposing of the vast
v aooumulatiou of sewage on the Hos
pltal grounds involves au extensive
pUot. the oonstruotion of which will
require a good deal of work. The con
traot calls for the oompletion of the
pWnt by January Ist. The contractors
will be ready to begiu work in a very
few days and probably will have use
for a good many workmen.
The Sweigard method provides for
laying new sewer lines leading to a
raoeivlng well about 1500 feet at the
rear of the Hospital. The water from
tbia point will be pumped into a dis
tribution reservoir located on the high -
eat point of land about 2500 feet at
the rear of the building. Prom this
point the sewage will flow by gravity
' through a series of pipes laid throngh
oat different amotions of the laud for
purposes of irrigation anil fertilizing.
The pumping machinery will consist
of an airoompressor of the duplex type
• located lu the present boiler room of
the Hospital.
FIERCE ATTACK
HADE BY JAPANESE
ON PORT ARTHUR
OHB FOO. Aug. 3.-11 a. m-A
desperate three days' assault on the
inner defenses on the northern and
the eastern aides of Port Arthor lias
failed, according to advices brought
by two junks whioh arrived hero to
day.
A Russian who escaped from Port
Arthur, via Pigeon Bay, on the night
of July 29, atatas that the earth trem
bled under tho terrific cannonading
whioh began at 4 a. m., July 2fi, and
•nded daring the uight of July 28,
when the battle ceased. A Ohiuese,
" Who has arrived here on a separate
juuk .confirms the Russian's stateuiont
that the Russian killed and wounded
' during the assault numbered between
J" five and six thousand.
The Japanese in their repeated as
■aulta against tho eastoru forts on the
hilli, through barbed wire entangle
ments and over mines, displayed fan
atical bravery. They were mowed
down by the hail of shellß and bullots
aad the explosion of initios under their
feet.
Their losses are estimated at 20,000.
The Russian declares that the Rus
■iana held all the eastern forts lead
ing to Golden Hill and that the Jap
anese, ahattered and exhausted, retir
ed to the eastward.
A a related by the passengers fioiu the
two Junks, the Japanese advance, which
began from Kwokau before daybreak
Jaly 28, was direoted against Kikiwan,
Kintkuin, Klojkisha aud Piehtoushau
forta lying near shore. The Russian
outpoata were driven baok. In the
meantime Admiral Togo shelled the
torts at long range but the return fire
of the forta kept liis ships at a safe
diatanoe.renderiug the 00-operatiou of
' the fleet ineffective.
On the morning ot July 27 the Ras
•Uu fleet steamed oat, keeping under
the proteotioa of the Golden Hill guns.
Tlie Russian vessels did not Are up
od.the Japanese, but returned to their
anchorage.
The assault on the northern side of

anese left at Hslkaa advanced on the
Russians at Slinishi Yiug, but were
(•polled.
The Junks were within hearing dis
tauce for three days after loaving, but
no more firing was heard.
The Russian hospitals are said to be
•wamped. Thousands of wounded are
lying in houses and shops of the
Chinese,the owners having been evict
ad, with the eioeption of one who acts
'ai oatetaker of each place. Medical
attantion Is adequate.

AN IMPORTANT
INVENTION
Oar readers will be glad to learn
that our former townsman, William
L. Harder, of Birmingham, Ala., a
brother of Postmaster Oharlos P.
Harder, has perfected a very useful
invention relating to rolling mill work
which will no doubt enrioli him and
make his name famous. Mr. Harder,
who is distinctively a rolling mill
man, in the 70's aco mpanied William
Faux from Danville to Pueblo. Ho
next went to Houston, Texas, later
drifting to Birmingham. The follow
ing from the "Birmingham Mews"
fully explains the invention:
* William L. Harder,after mnch theo
retical study on the subject, has made
tests at the Birmingham mills of a
patented auxiliary furnace.using pro
ducer gas, demonstrating an idea he
lies looking to a general saving in lab
or, fuel aud wear and tear of machin
ery. Experts who have witnessed the
demonstration believe that the patent
will arouse as much interest as did
the Westinghouse air brake when it
was first demonstrated.
A large number of experts and in
terested parties have been to the roll
ing mills and investigated the patent
audit is likely that there will bo some
use put to it in Birmingham.
With tho Harder systom of burning
producer gas under boilers it is propos
ed to effect a great saving in tho
world's consumption of coal. Ovor
the beßt praotioe with tho most mod
ern up-to-date steam generating aud
steam saving appliances this mothod
of firing will save, it is said, from ten
to fifteen per oent. of the total com
bustibles used, which is now lost by
incomplete oombustiou and by tho in
troduction of exoess air and by green
ooal and coke falling through tho grate
bars. The Harder system entirely ob
viates these losses by completely gasify
iug every particle of oonibustiblo in
the fuol employed aud delivering same
to the fire box aud consuming the gas
with the minimum amount of air.
There is a complete aud Hinokeloss
combustion. Iu first-class practice it
iB proposed to save in fuel ton to fif
teen per oent. in labor from thirty to
fifty per oent. and prevent all smoke,
aud over average steam boiler practico
it is proposed to save from fiftoon to
thirty-five per oent. in firing ovor fir
ing direot, and fifty per oent. in labor
and also havo no smoke. Over poor
practice this iuveutiou, it is said,will
save fifty per cent, iu ooal and labor
aud under all conditions abate tho
smoke nuisance. By this system it is
proposed to lengthen the life of the
boiler and the furnace walls, for at no
time is cold air permitted to entor the
fire box and henco a <ioiok contraction
of the boiler is prevented aud the
strains caused thereby avoidod. Tliore
are no grate bars aud hence no clink-
ers accumulate on the boilor walls
and consequently tho furnaoo is clean
at all times. The eoonomies of tho
Harder system as sot forth in his geu
eral proposition are numerous aud are
all founded on scientific principles aud
his ideas are a combination of woll
established theories which he bad re
duced to a practical application and
has made it possible to install a set of
oouditions in a steaui generation plant
that will effect the maximum saving
in fuel, the maximum saving in labor,
give the maximum length of life to
the builer aud appurtenances and most
etTeotively abate the smoke nuisance.
Mr. Harder has been assisted by some
of the best gas experts aud mechanics
in the district in the installation of
his test plant. In the last two or three
days a number of persons interested iu
the plants have looked at the tempor
ary .limit ereoted at the rolling mills.

Butterfield Has Turned Up,
The mystorious disappearance of
Sterling S. Butterfield,the Lime 11 idge
contractor, who left his home Tuesday
morning aud failed to return, was ex
plained Saturday morning when Mrs.
Butterfield received a letter from him,
datod at Roohelle, Illinois.
In his letter he Btated that he did
not remember anything from the time
he left the office of O. R. Woiss, of
BloomHbnrg, until he reached a point
100 miles west of Pittsburg, when
some oue spoke to him and asked him
if ho felt better. A stranger took an
interest in him, and he remembered
that he had an uuole.a physician,who
lived at Roahelle, Illinois,and to that
town his newly fonud friend directed
him.
There the physioian diagnosed his
itiueßs as being caused by a sunstroke,
but in doing 80, he did not know of
Butterfield's previous illness, which
was caused by catarrh of the stomach.
His condition has uow improved hot
he will stay at Rocl.ello for soino

SUNK BY
jHEJOSSIANS
The sinking of the British steamship
Knight Commander by the Russian
Vladivostok squadron, which caused
such tension in tlie Russo-British rela
tions, possesses a special interest to
the people of Danville, as the vessel
' destroyed contained a shipment of
Danville, stoves, which now with the
rest of the ill-starred cargo lie at the
bottom of the Red Sea.
The shipment of Danville goods car
ried by the Knight Commander con
sisted of two large Beaver Furnaces
consigned to the Methodist Mission at
Tientsen, China. The shipment was
made from New York through the Am
erican Trading Company aud like all
export shipments was insured.
Russia to conciliate the British gov
ernment has promised to make repara
tion if after a full investigation it is
found that the commander of the Vlad
ivostok squadron acted rashly and that
the Knight Commander in the strict
sense contained no contraband of war.
In that event the Russian Government
will have to pay for the loss of these
furnaces and imlomuity besides.
The furnaces were shipped from New
York by A. L. Canfield, agent of the
Danville Stove & Manufacturing Com
pany, who has built up an extensive
export trade. Shipments are very fre
quently made to China, as well as to
tiio Sandwich Islands, South Africa.
Mexico and the countries of Soath
America. Tlio proseut is the first time
that any goods have been lost daring
the long journey by sea.
BOTH SIDES
NOW CLAIM VICTORY
IN MEAT STRIKE
GHIOAOO, August 3. Notwith
standing tlio claim of tho packiug
liouso managers that they Imve uo
difficulty in securing workmen they
are Haiti to bo making very strong ef
forts to induce their former employes
to return to work. The latest move
made in that lino is the distribution
of cards among the wivos of the strik
ers urging them to induce their hus
bands to return to the packing plants
and ofioring increased pay.
Sohwarzaoliild and Sulzberger notifi
ed tho county officials that they could
not make the usual weekly delivery of
meat according to contract, and the
superintendent of Public Servloe plac
ed an order lor $4,000 worth of meat
with an independent firm.
The yards were flooded with live
stock today. The supply so far ex
ceeded the demand that prices in some
cases droppod as much as (I. Com
plaints was rife by representatives ol
country shippers.
Before tho day's shipment arrived
there wore 2U,000 hogs in the pens and
between 2,000 and 3,000 cattle.
The packers expressed the opinion
that with supplies so heavy a good
portion of the stock could not be
handled by the packing plants until
tomorrow. Today's reoelpts were as
follows: Cattle, fi.iSOO; hogs 12,000;
sheep, 14,000.
The packers announced today that
they would attompt to import no more
unskilled labor. They said they had
all tho raw men they needed and in
the future would take on only a few
ski 1 loci men. This news was declared
by the strikers to be a bait to them in
the hope of broakiug the uniou ranks.
ASSASSIN HAS
PARTLY CONFESSED
ST. PETERSBURG, July 3.—The
assassin of Ministor of tlielutorior U.
Von Plohve is said to have made a
partial confession,in which lie declar
ed that for a long time he was a
school teacher ill a rural district and
was greatly interested in the Zemstvo,
for tho curtailment of whose powers
ho blamed the dead minister.
He still absolutely refuses to dis
close his name. A watch is kept on
him day and night, not only in order
to prevent his doing himself bodily
harm, but ill the belief that he may
botray himself In his sleep. Thus far
ho has only inutterod two words in
sleep—endearing diminutives for Peter
and Natalie, probably the names of a
comrade and sweetheart.
The police have discovered that a
third accomplico was concerned in the
murder plot and that he was stationed
on a quay on tho Neva, where one of
tho imperial yachts was moored on
tho chance that the minister might go
| to PetnrhoiF that day by boat.
Successful Family Keunion.
Tlio third reunion of the Vonght

township Saturday, brought out a
large attendance, there being about
two hundrod representatives of the
Vought family present. In point ot
numbers and in the interest shown the
reunion was the most successful of any
thus far hold.
Each of the addressos, which were
delivered by Rev. F. 8. Vought, W.
10. lOtmes aud Preston Vought, were
appropriate and happy efforts,and held
the close attention ot all present.
Tlio only circumstance which ooour

was tlio death of Solomon Ilelwig, of
lOlysburg, which took place at the
Miners' Hospital, Saturday moruing,
as the result of an accident snßtained

RETURNED FROM
JNCAMPMENT
Company F, 12tli Regimeut, N. G.
P., arrived home on the 5:43 D. L. &
W. train Saturday eveuiug from the
annual enoampment at Gettysburg.
The boys presented a good appear
anoe and were in most excellent spirits
although a little vexed over a most
unexpected delay which oocurrod at
Northumberland. The company broke
camp at 8 a. m. Saturday and arrived
at Northumberland at 3 :30 o'clock iu
the afternoon. There was no other al
ternative than to wait until 5 :2b
o'olook when the regular train due
here at SA3 left the station. The two
hours hung very heavily on the hands
of the Guardsmen. Various means
were employed to kill timo, some of
the nuiformed men strolling about the
streets of the quiet towu while others
stretched themselves out and took a
nap on the Btation platform.
The memory of the encampment just
closed will lie treasured ill the mind
of the Guardsmen as oue uuiquo in its
way, being most successful from every
view-point, reflecting credit upon the
National Guard as a body and bring
ing to the individual members a suc
cession of pleaaaut experiences with
not a single occurrence to rogret.
The enoampment is considered the
greatest in the history of the National
Guard. The discipline was remark
able, uot a single case of disorder be
ing brought before the provost mar
shall. Thin is all the more remarkable
when it is axplaiued that ten thousand
ineu were enoamped. As a result of
the good order prevailing the Guards
men had the fraedom of the battlefield
aud the towu of Gettysburg without
the use of the regular passes.
The drills were uniformly well at
tended aud these owing to the general
proficiency shown were neither long
uor arduous. The grand review on
Thursday is prouounood one of the
finest military pageants evor seen in
the United States. There wero about
80,000 spectators present.
There were no oases of illness in
Oompany F during the week in camp.
The quarters were exceptionally clean.
One of the features which made life
pleasant was the good cooking. The
men ne>er livod better at enoanipmeiit.
All praise is due William Smith, the
oompany cook,for the way he handled
the State issue of provisions as well
as the extra food purchased by the
mombers of the oompany. The bill of
fare coutaiued delicacies never before
known by the mombers of Oompany F
at euoampment. Quartermaster Gross
was complimented highly for the san
itary oondition of the tent and kitch
ens.
Oompany F was present at tho en
campment with the full complement
of men. At tho inspection it showed
□ p In splendid stylo, Captain Gcarhart
bo lug highly complimentod on tho
cleanliness of the rifles and the uoat
appuaranoe of the mon as well as on
the size of the company aud tho ac
curaoy and ueatness of the books.
Oompany F's pay roll for enoamp
meut amounts to about SIOOO, tho
amounts due for the week varying from
(12 for privates to i>2fi for First Sorgo
ants. Thus it will be soon that tiie
men realize a nice little compensation
along with a week's outing embracing
a free visit to the historic battlefield.
The Twelfth Regiment uuiformly
showed well. It was complimeuted
by the inspecting officers and assured
that it would be amoug the highest iu
rating.
BELLEFONTE PRIS
ONERS RECAPTURED
One Admits he Killed Turnkey—Pour of
the Prisoners Recaptured,
Four of the Ave men who escaped
from the prison at Bellefoute last Fri
day evening have been captured. Be
fore securing their freedom the pris
oners beat Jerry Oondo, a tnrukoy, so
severely that he died on Snnday.
Three of the fugitives were captur
ed late Tuesday afternoon on tho Krid
er farm, near Lock Haven. They wore
taken into oustody by O. A. Harvoy,
Horace Stiver, Elmer Flanigau aud
two yonug men named Dresham and
Dauberman. They were oouveyed to
the Olinton oounty jail on a street car
by the captors, who were armed with
rifleß.
After reaohing the jail Ira Green,
one of the prisoners oonfessed to
Sheriff S. Torrenco Shoarer that they
were the three men wanted. Their
nameß are William Dillon, Georgo
Henderson aud Iru Green. Tho men
made no resistance when captured.
An Italian, who was arrested by
Penusylvauia Railroad Detectivo O.
D. Begle for riding on a freight train
near Bedford, lias made a confessson
since being in jail at Bedford and
Bays he is Dominio Constance, one of
the Ove men who broke jail in Bol
lefonte on Friday. Constance says ho
is the man who struuk Ooudo, us
ing an iron bar for the pnrposo.
After making the escape the men
separated aud Ooußtance says ho
has spent the time in the Broad
Top coal region in Bedford county,
but thinkiug that lie was too noar tho
soeue of his trouble for safety ho was
tryiug to reaoh a safer place whou ar
rested. Having no money he waH beat
ing bis way on freight trains.
Large posses of armod moil bad been
searching for the escaped prisoners
since Friday. On Saturday all the
members of the Bellefoute company of
the National Guard were made deputy
sheriffs and they assisted in the search
Merry Go Bound.
A merry-go-round installed at Wash
ingtonville for a few days past has
been doing a laud oftice business. It
i§ a novelty in the way of sport that
the juveuiles of that borough seldom
have an opportunity of indulging in
and they naturally are inclined to
make the most of it. Tho hobby horses,
whioh were formerly in commission at
Hunter's Park,will leave for Borwick
next Monday.
It ooßta the people over SIOO,OOO por
year to let the congressmen distribute
free seeds. It makes tho people receiv

by their representatives, if it does
nothing else.
A REPREHEN
SIBLEJRACTICE
Some persons who avail themselves
regularly of the advantages of the Y.
M. C. A. reading room have fallen in
to a reprehensible practice, which is
causing a good deal of indignation
about the building. This is nothing
less than the taking of books out of
the bimlers aud failing to return them
as well as cutting clippings out of
other publications which are permitt
ed to rouiaiu iu the rooms.
It is hard to tell wliioli of the above
offenses causes the most annoyanoe.
The reading room is a very popular
resort and the publications provided
are equally interesting to all. Several
magazines have been surreptitiously
taken out duriug the past two weeks
aud tlieso are very mnoh missed by
tlioso frequenting the room. Agaiu it
is not at all pleasiug iu pernsing one
of the publications found on the table
to run up against a mutilated page
which often happens to be at the most
interesting part of the article.
Charitable persons inoliue to the
view that those who remove the books
do uot intend to keep them but will
returu them hy and by. At the same
time these rest under a grave suspicion
and this article is inspired by the pro
per authorities with the hope that It
will suggest to the persons removing
books the advisability of returning
thoni at the oarliest moment thereby
avoiding unnecessary embarrassment.
