PREACHING AT TBE HOSPITAL Notwithstanding that vacation sea loo Uon and many of tho ohurches are temporarily without preaching tho patiepts at the Hospital for the In jfUM are not deprived of the gospel. Oaring the yoar eaoh of the pits lon In town have a certain time al lotted to them for ollloiating at the l(ospltal. Rev. Dr. Shindel is ono of oar clergymen who is not taking a va cation ; it appears just now that ho is booked for the Hospital nnd he Sun day preached to the unfortunates who ace incarcerated thoro. Preaching at the Hospital is a task not to be coveted. No matter how aealoas the minister may be in his de ilre to do good he finds it difficult to ■alt bis message to his hearers aud ho li sometimes much iu doubt whether hii effort has proved iu auy degreo iielpfol to the unfortunate ones as sembled to hear him. Ai a result the sermons pruaohed at tile Hospital are of a peculiar type, abaped to reaoh the afflicted minds and to throw iuto tho burdened hearts at least one ray of hope aud sunshine. Many of the sermons are beautiful in tbeir way revealing how much thoro li In Qod's promises adapted even to tbe most hopeless conditions of life. The sermon preached by Rev. I)r. M. L. Shindel yesterday was one of (hU beautiful aud appropriate class. The text itself is all that it is nec essary to qaote. It was from the 00th Psalm: "Make us glad accordiug to the days wherein Thou hast ult'licted as aud the years wherein we have seen evil." The sermon was delivered iu Or. Bhindel's sympathetic stylo and la point of beauty aud sentiment was thoroughly iu keeping with the text. JAPS DEMAND SUR RENDER OF FORTRESS All Mon-Uombatauts Will be Allowed to Leave. Marshal Oyama, commanding the Japanese iu front of Port Arthur has made a formal demand for tho sur render of the fortress. All oon oombatauts will he allowed to leave at once if they so desiro. It Is known that the troops now holding the fortress are 011 half ra tions and cannot hold out much long er. j In the far oast it is confidently re- ! ported that if the surrender is not made on the demand tho fall will oome before the week ends. TOKIO, Aug. 17.—The commandant of the army besieging Port Arthur reports that Major Yatuoku, a mem ber of his staff, was dispatchod under a flag of trnoe to tho outposts of the Bosaians where he delivered to a Rus sian staff officer the offer of tho Em peror of Japan granting tho removal of non-oombatauts. He also domaud ad the surrender of Port Arthur. An answer is expocted today. ANSWER EXPECTED TO DEHAND TODAY TOEIO, Aug. 17.—Tho Emporor's otter to release the iron oombatnnts at Port Arthur, oonpled with a demand for the surrender of the fortress was delivered yesterday (Tuesday.) An answer is expected today( Wednosday). DON'T THINK OF SURRENDER ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 17.-2:511 p. in.—The announcement of tho Mi kado's otter to allow nou-combatants $0 leave Port Arthur, coupled with the demand for the surrender of the garrison, oauses a revulsion of feeling fcere. The original report that uon eombatants would be premitted to de part before the storming operations began, was regarded as a humane and considerate act. The war office is without official confirmation of the summons served on General Stoessel,but not the slight jiat idea exists in military circles that be will yield so loug as food and am munition hold out, without a fight •?en to proteot defencoless women and other non-oombatauts from tho horrors of bombardment. "Qoneral Stoessel, as an independ ent commander, would have a perfect under the Rusaiau military reg ulations to surrender at discretion," #aid a member of tho general staff to the correspondent of Press, "but it Hiay safely be assumed that a man of jptoessel's temper will not croate a now precedent in Russian history. "Oar military annals do not show single case whore a commander yielded a fortress upon the demand of tiie enemy in order to avoid a fight. Sebastopol was taken by storm." Teams Fording the Eiver. The river has fallon rapidly during Abe last few days and the water is now at nearly its lowost point. The ferry owing to the woak cur caul moves vsry slowly and consumes .upwards of twenty minutes in croes ing. Owing to the poor sorvioo sever al of the teams, including tho McUor mlok bus have resumed fording the river. The stream is low enough to .make this praoticable and considerable tine is saved in this way. Owing to tbe bad bottom fording has not boon popular this summer even at low wat er aud yesterday was about the first that any of the teams crossod in this way for several weeks. The rooks are beginning to show on the surface of the water and iu a day or so the naphtha launches will ex perience difficulty in crossing. A Monster Snake. Former Sheriff Miohael Brockbiil, while cradling oats on the farm of Thomas Oole, found a snake skin whioh was over six foot too* The reptile whioh had thus abandoned its epidermis was a mous •tar and the Ex-Sheriff regarded the Jlnd as something of a curiosity and Jta brought It down to Danville aud plaoed it ou exhibition at M . H. Jtahram's store. It is thought that tho ! (kin belonged to a black suake. YERY RARE CURIOSITY Major O. P. Goarhart has made an interesting con tri hut ion to tho Depart ment of Agricultuio at Hairisburg, which is most highly appreciated by those in chargo. It happens that at Major Gearhart's home, South Danville, lie has an ap ple and a pear troo standing close to gether. Tho othnr (lay ho found a freak lying under his apple tree in the form of a cross between a pear and an apple. It was found under tho apple tree side by side with a healthy well developed apple. As indicated by its odor and coloring the freak was an apple, although in form it was a large aud beautifully shapod pear. Tho Major regarded it as a curiosity aud sent it along witli tho apple to Har risburg. Oil Saturday ho received a reply from H. A. Surface, M. SO., Economic Zoologist, which attests to tho high estimate placed upon tho value of the freak and pays a fine compliment to tho Major for his zeal and intelligent action in thus contrib uting to the cause of soieuoo: Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 12, 1904. Mr. Clias. I*. Gear hart, Danville, Pa. Dear Sir:—Your letter and tho in teresting fruit which you sent to Sec rotary Oritohlield has been handed to me for attention and reply. 1 take great pleasure in examining this in teresting freak,as it is something very unusual There have boen artificial crosses hot ween the pear and the ap ple, but I know of none that was nat ural. I wish to ask if there wore any others of this pear-shaped fruit on your apple tree. What is the variety of tho apple? I think that your explanation as to the cross by carrying the pollon from your Bartlett poar to the blossom of the applo is correct. You will ho interested in knowing what disposi tion I shall make of it. First I shall photograph the applo and pear, side by side; then, I shall have a cast made of tho Pear-apple, aud paint it so as to get the natural Hize, form and color; then, I shall cut the fruit open to determino its llavor and odiblo qualities from tho inside,proservo tho seeds for planting, and by putting tho two halves togother again, I can have it apparently uninjured from the out side, and preserve it in a liquid. Tho horticulturists will be greatly inter ested in this, and I shall discuss it at tho Stato* Horticultural Association next Jauuary. 1 thank you for sending this,and ap preciate your intelligence and prompt ness in so doing, rat' or than mere ly following tho dictates of a curious desire to oat it, or ignore its interest ing features. lam very truly yours, II \ SURFACE, Economic Zoologist.

' NEW YORK,Aug. 1(5. -Mr. and Mrs. Radford Bascom, manic 1 in Grace Church last Thursday, have returned from a wedding journey to Atlantic City. The bride abandoned a long hoped-for trip to Europe when an im mediate marriage was urged by her fiance. Miss Shelley Hughes Barringer, who is now Mrs. Bascom, is a daugh ter of Major David S. Barringer, U. S. A., retired. He is iu Europe and his daughter was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Frederick E. Clark, of Now Brighton, S. I. Bascom is a young engineer engaged in the construction ;of one of the East River bridges. When he won Miss Barringer's consent he cabled to Major Barringer: "Shelley and I engaged. Do you consent?" Major Barringer cabled back: "Engagement approved." Then Bascom urged an immediate marriage. The young woman consent ed, snbjoct to tho approval of her father. The cable was employed again, and Major Barringer replied: "Go ahead." Want Bridge Started Soon. The citizens of Noseopeck held a meeting Thursday evening to devise somo method by which work on tho erection of the new bridge between that place aud Berwick might bo list ened. Because certain parties are de sirous of changing the location of the bridge from its old site to a place where it will cress tho D. L. & W. tracks in ontering Borwiek, tho build ing of tho structure has been held up by the state audit now looks as though there would bo no bridge communica tion botwoou Berwick and Noseopeck boforo the coming of cold weather, when the partial freezing of the rivor will stop tho running ot ferries and at the same timo tho rivor will not bo safe for crossing. The situation is sor ious.as most of tho residents of Nesco pock work in Berwick and if thoy have no communication between tho two places thoy will he compelled to loso their positions. Danville Has This Boy. Nearly every hoy .thinks himself smarter than all other boys. Ho can jump on the cars without getting hurt j and he will show you ho can. If ask ed if ho has auy legs, anus or oven a head to spare, ho foils insulted that you should think there, is any danger of his losing any. Tho moro ho is told that it is dangorous and tho more offorts are made to prevent him the moro ho appears determined to do the thing. A warning does not dotor him. Ho is ambitious to show everybody j that he is too smart to be caught, and • so ho goes on sometimes escaping aud [ sometimes not. SURVEYING FOR A SWITCH A corps of surveyors belonging to tho Pennsylvania railroad company oanio up to South Danvillo Friday where they ran a line for a switch to bo used during tho construction of the river bridge. A switch by which material can bo I unloaded at tho site of the bridge is considered essential if the work is to procood with despatch. Otherwise the heavy stone and the iron work after reaching Danvillo would have to be twice handled, which would entail a lot of unnecessary work and loss ot time. The right of way for the switch, however, is not yet fully settled. The lino as run yestorday branchosoff from tho main track a few rods east of tho ! forry crossing on tho laud of H. 11. Vastino; it crosses tho roadway lead ing down to the forry just above the pump house, proceeding thence 111 nearly a straight line across the lands of Hoover Bros, aud J. H. Kase to the entrance to tho bridge. Just as soon as a right ot way is set tled the railroad company will begin tho building of the switch,which will involve a considerable amount of work, jas tho deep gully between tho pump I house and Hoover Bros., lot will hfive !to be bridged in some way. Tluro 1 snems to bo no question now about ! work begiuuing on the bridge at an j early day. The Morning News yesterday receiv led authoritative information to the effect that 11. 11. Leonard, who drew up the plans and specifications for tho , bridge, has recoived tho appointuiout ' as Construction enginoor. j Information was also received to the j effect that the contractors will be ob liged to push tho work rapidly along KUROPATKIN AWAITS A DECISIVE BATTLE | ST.

Uoal Digger's Slow Passage. Gross & Rishler of Northumberlanp passed up tho river with thoir coal digger Monday ourouto for Cata wissa where thoy expect to find plenty of rivor coal. They have with them tliroo largo scows. Their trip thus far has buen besot with many difficulties and their troubles are not. over yet. Thoy loft Northumbeiland 011 Tuesday of last week and it was not until Sunday af ternoon tint they rounded tho bend in the river bolow town. Thoir troubles woro all due to sho.il water. They ou oounterod rocks innumerable and woro agrouud hours at a time. Their worst oxperiouoo lay iu attempting to cross tho riffles above tho creek's mouth. Those were struck about mid dlo ot the afternoon Sunday and it was not until late Monday forenoon that they clearod tho last obstruction and steamed up between tho piers of tho river bridge. Thoro are many obstructions further up tho rivor, which tliev can hardly hopo to escape. At Roaring crook there is a ledge of rock extending prac tically across the rivor, which can scarcely be oloared by a row boat at low wator. It is not unlikely that tho coal dig ger may be hold up at that point un til a riso iu tho rivor. The spoed of the craft pushing the tliroo largo scows ahoad of it against tho current is some thing liko half a mile au hour aud al lowing for delays it is not unlikoly that another week will be consuniod before tho coal digger renehos Cata wissa. flarrv Schoch Leaves For St. Louis.

CONSTANCE ARRAIGN ED ATBBLLEFONTE Dominic Constance was formally ar raigned before Squire John Keroliliuo of Bellefonte on Saturday charged with jail breaking and of being an accessory before and after the fact, to the murdor of Turnkey Condo. The Common wealth wan represented by District Attorney N. B. Spang lor. He was held without bail, and is now confined in what is known as the light dungeon in the Centre county jail. The only furnishing in tho coll is a mattress on which to sleep. He is in his stocking feet, with only a pair of pantaloons and a shirt to cover his body. When first, he was placed bo hiud the bars lie was in a fiendish dis position. He cursed and carried on liko a mad man, saying that ho did not care what they did with his neck. Frequently lie said," Me no kill Jerry, mo only got out ot jail." The formal arraignment of Con stance brings out the fact that since his recaptnro ho has related consider able of interest concerning tlio plans for escape and the murdor of Condo. He said that several days previous to the escapo, thoy decided to break jail. "Little George," meaning Livingston, who is still at largo,would carry mos sagos to and fro between cells Nos. 7 and 8. The staple on tho door of cell No. 8, was sawed off several days pri or lo the escape, and Houderson asked Dominie several times whether ho wanted to break jail and escape, an 1 he said that he did. Henderson said that when they got out, they would color thoir hair, change clothes aud other mean of dis&nise. Friday morn ing thoy asked Turnkey Condo when Sheriff Taylor was coming back from Gettysburg, to which Condo answered "tomorrow." George Livingston then went down to the main prison door and when one of the sheriff's girls passed, asked her what thoy were go iug to do that evening. She told him that thoy were going to the band con cert at Hecla Park. He then went back to tho colls aud told tho other prisoners. They thou held a confer ence and decided to broak jail that night. Dillen and Green bent down tho one corner of tho shoot iron door of their coll, and placing a stick be twoon the jam and tho door, crawled out ov3r it, went down stairs, and se creted tliomsi Ives in tho bathroom bo low. Constance and Henderson wore looked op in their cells,but thoy heard Condo and McOullough come in with tho hohblos. McOullough entered first, followed by Condo. Constance said ho heard Groon and Dillen run out, and when he struck Condo ho heard the latter cry out, " What is the matter with you follows tonight?" Thou ho groaued several times. Green then pitched the keys up to Living*- ton, who opened tho cell in which Dominie, was, along with Hender son, and thoy both ran out. It was said that when tho Italian came out and ran down stairs, ho jumped upon Condo, as he lay upou tho floor of tlio jail, unconscious. But. Dominic denies that ho oithor struck him or jumped upon him. He says ho saw Jerry lying with his head sideways on tho floor, with his hands over his head. Ho could not see Dil lon or Groon strike tlio Turnkey, but heard them pound him, and know who was doing it,because they wero swear ing at tlio old man. After ho got out ho loft tho others at the door of tlio jail, and struck for tho mountains. He said that ho was there ever since, within throe nnlos of Bellefonte. He got. bread at different placos aud once ho paid a boy to get some for him. Ho denies that ho had been at tho Ita ian shanties at the lime kilns. When asked where ho got tho black suit, and hat ho replied, "Someone gave them to mo." Ho said that ho slept in tlio mountains with a very largo um brella to keep off tho rain. Ho did not onjoy sloop niiioh for ho feared that someone would como aud shoot him. Ho as id he was tired, and that if thoy had not. caught him, he was coming to Bellefonte to give himself up. When reminded that ho had threatened to kill tho sheriff and Con do, ho said ho was only iu fun. Two Action in Trespass.

Jacob Hite, who is serving a term of nine months in the Northumberland county jail for carrying concealed deadly weapons, is quito sick, and it may bo necessary for him to undorgo a surgical operation for appendicitis. Owing to tho closo confinement, Hite has been failing in health for the past several months. Indications of appendicitis have been apparent for some timo, but,as the tissues have not broken down, the attending physician was ablo to copo with the affliction without using thokuifc. There boing groat danger, however, a broakiug down of the tissues, an oporatiou has boon advised. Hit© objects to such a course, but is willing to yield, it is said, to the judgment of the medical meu. In case an operation is docuiod necessary, tho patient will bo removed to tho Mary M. Packer Hospital. An application has already hoen made to District Attornoy Cummings.for his consent to tho removal, and ho has al ready signed the necessary papers. Tho signature of tho judge will also bo secured, so all will bo iu readi 110ss at a moment's notice for Hitn's temp orary roloaso from prison.
