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

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

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

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,

Oouseut By Cable. '
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

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

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.

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.

Uoal Digger's Slow Passage.
Gross & Rishler of Northumberlanp

of rivor coal.
They have with them tliroo largo

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

that another week will be consuniod

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.
Thomas Elmes, of near Roaring
Creek an attendant at our curb stone
market, aud who is well known iu this
city, has instituted actions in trespass
against the Cross Crook Coal Com
pany and tho Lehigh and Wilkesbarre
Coal Company, through his attorney,
Clinton Herring, and has filed plain
tiff's statements in each action.
Klmes is the owner of a certain tract
of land in Montour township, Colom
bia county,known as "Elmos' Island"
and lying iu the Susquehanna river.
He alleges that prior to the first
day of November, 1002, each company
negligoutly and careessly dopositod
largo quantities of coal dirt,coal dust,
rook, slate, culm and refuso matter in
tho said rivor aud its branches, aud
negligently caused tlio same to be plac
ed whore the winds,storms, rains, ami
elements carried tho same into the riv
er aud its branches, whereby large
quantities of ooal dirt,coal dust,rock,
slate, etc., were carried by the river
aud its branches down the stream
leaving large quantities of aforemen
tioned refuso upon tho lands of the
plaintiff, thereby damaging the land,
and rendering it from time to timo
untiliable and unproductive, injuring
from time to time tho improvements
thereon and springs ol water and in
part destroying his crops, fruit trees,
small fruit*, viues and timbor trees.
In even action tho plaintiff claims
damages in the sum ol' $2,000.

Prisoner is Quite Sick.
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.
While tho attending physician is not
fearful that Hite's condition is at all
greatly alarming, an operation is be
lioved host, and it is quito likoly that
thio courso will be pursued. Sun bury

Enormous Traffic on the Ferry,
Some idoa of the o uorinnus trailic
ovor tlio rivor at this plaoo aud con
sequently tho uoocssity of having tho
bridge restored at tho earliest possible
date can bo formed by ob<orving the
crowded cordition of tho lorry at all
hours of tho day.
A correct count on Saturday last
was kept botwoen the hours of 6:80 a.
in.and 0:30 p. in., when it was found
that 2071 persons aud 471 vehicles woro
transported ovor the rivor. This, it
will bo observed, is for twelve hours
only and doos nut inolndo somn thirty
wagons or mill employes who crossod
at an eatlier hour. Ferrymau Jones
last evening stated that a consorvativ o
estimate would placo the avorago
number of vohicles which cross the
rivor by forry daily at three hundred.
No one will imagine that tho singlo
forryman ou duty at one time in hand
ling this enormous aggrogato of peo
ple and toanis lias any thing like a
sineunre of it. There aro inuumorahlo
details to look aftor. Tho forry boat
must ho kopt from grounding at tho
landings, tho teams must be disposed
about tho boat in snob a way that tho
ferry may bo loaded to tho best advan
tage, while when the wator is low it
requires constant exortion to keep tlio
forryboat moving. Tho fidelity of tlio
two ferrymen, their oare and good
manpgement is well attestod by the
stoady sorvico rendered by tho forry
and tho fact that not an accident in
the least serious lias occurred on the
boat during tlio whole summer.

A conference relating to freight;

of the P. & H. and the D. L. W. Kail
roads. Mu.di of the carrying done
for several of the iudustrii s of the
town involves the trnnsforrouce of
oa - H. It u important, therefore, that
the two railroad companies liavo a
thorough understanding in the mat
tor, which naturally involves a lull
knowledge of switches and the size
aud locatiou of sidings.
Danville yesterday was, therefore,
selocted as a place for the conference
so that tho officials could go carefully
over tho ground and arrive at an esti
mite of the track facilitios. j
Tho officials of each railroad arrived

erinti inleut; J. B. Keefe, Division!
Freight Agent; W. 13. Hizsoti, Super
intendent of Bridges and Buildings '
and J. G. Kay, Division Engineer.
Tho P.& R. contingent consisted of
about the same number of officials,
headed by T. D. Dice, General Sup
erintendent of the Kail way.
Tho oonrorenco lasted about an hour,
during which the officials personally
visited tho siding at both tho Struc
tural Tubiug Works aud tho Reading
Iron Works. Shortly after 2 o'clock
tho special trains departed.
