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 •he oily oocurred July 37. The Jap 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. May Pay Dearly for His Fun. Some persou is laying up a great daal of trouble for himself by strew ing matohes at night over portions of Hill street where the biggest crowds Ot pedestrians pass. The matches us ad are ot the kind kuown as the "par lor matoh," which when trodden np ■ ail ignite with a sharp roport. Those who troad upon tue matches - - Hotels blessed with stout nerves are ,•»apt to reoeive something of a shock, - - while in the oase of ladies there is dlaoh danger ot the clothing taking * Are. rr*>-. Nearly half a boi of these matches, the most of which had beon trodden npon, were found sprinkled over oue ■pot oil Mill street the other moruiug. ' 'lk » hoped the fellow who placed - them there enjoyed the little scenes whiob followed, as his funis likely to be of short duration. The police ' "li»Te taken measuros to broak up the practice and the offender if caught ■ ' -Witt pay very dearly. ' The farmer Alive to the Issues. It should not be forgotten iu the coming campaign that there is no longer an ignorant rural voter. The country has been consolidated since the last election. With the trol ley,the whizzing automobile,the rural delivery, the telephone,the daily pap er, the vast volume of travel all over the conntry, the summer school leot nrei, and a thousand other agencies, everybody Is in the political univers ity and there are no baok districts to be heard from. The farmer is alive to the issues of the day, aud he will de cide the ooutests in an houest aud conservative manner. While temporarily In a Shamokin hotel Tuesday night with a constable, "who was bringing him to Sunbury jail to serve 60 days for alleged assault upon hti mother in Ooal township, Miobael Uclntyre jumped from a nec ''' ead-itory window aud escaped. 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. FAIRBANKS NOW KNOWS THE NEWS INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Aug. 3. Olias. W. Fairbauks.seuior U. 9. Sen ator from Indiana, was today formal ly notified of his nomination for Vice President of the United States by tlio Republican National Committee.

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 time Should he not fully reaovor Mrs. Butterfield will go out to him In Il linois. Butterfield is a member of the Car penters and Joiuer's organization of Berwick and also of the P. O. S. of A. aud these organizations have odored to look after his return. Mrs. Charles O. Haughawout,South Danville, desires to return thanks to neighbors and others for the kiud as sistance rendered her daring the ill neßS aud death ot her husband. 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 family, which was hold in Mayberry 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 iod to mur tlio pleasure of the event was tlio death of Solomon Ilelwig, of lOlysburg, which took place at the Miners' Hospital, Saturday moruing, as the result of an accident snßtained July 21st while trying to pacify a horse frightened by au automobile at Sixth street, Shamokin. Tlio wife of tlio deoeased is the yonngest sister of Simon Vought of Glysburg. The de ceased is aIBO survived by Miss Lillian, a daughter who lives at the parental home, and ouo son, Hatton, who is at present in Seattle. The sorrow of the survivors was keenly shared by the uear relatives at the reunion and the elfect of the sad occurrence was plain ly manifest during the day. On Tuesday Seliungrove was the scene of an educational aud politioaal coin cidence. Whilo the Senatorial confer euoo was turning down B. K. Fooht for a renomination as State Senator tlio Board of Susquehanna University unanimously elected his brother. Rev. Dr. John B. Focht, as president of that institation. 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 ing them think they are not forgotten 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.
