ADVOCATE A
MARKET HOUSE
Pursuant to the actiou of Uonuoil
Friday night the ourb stone market
Saturday morolug lined up ou Lower
Mulberry street. Oharch street was
named in connection with Lower Mul
berry atreet, the intention of Oouucii
being that when the latter thorough
fare wai Slled the line of wagons
ahonld extend southwardly along
Oburoh street. It developed Saturday
morning that the usual turn out of
farmers at this season of the year oan
be aooommodated on Lower Mulberry
■treet. The row of wagons nicely fill
ed tbe space between Mill and Church
street!, but did not extend beyond it.
Tbe farmers took the matter very
good uatnredly, although they made
BO secret of it that they were not ill
love with the new quarters. They con
aider their position on Lower Mulberry
street too mnoli exposed, both to tho
son and rain. They have become ac
ouatomed to the awnings of Mill street
and are looking very hopefully for
ward to the day when they may be
permitted to return to the latter street.
Quite a number of farmers along
With some town people were heard ad
vocating the erection of a market
bouae and it Is not uulikely in these
daya of municipal improvements that
a aentimeut in favor of this enterprise
will grow peroeptibly (luring the next
tew mouths. Soveral available sitos
bave been suggosted and some figuring
baa been done to show what a return
looh an investment might yield.
During a politioal campaign a straw
vote isn't even good straw.
ANOTHER BANK HAS
CLOSED ITS DOORS
SYDNEY, Ohio, Aug. 24 —On ap
plication of Frank B. Reed, cashier of
tbe German American Bank, tho old
est fiuanoial institution in Sydney,

ceiver.
Reed stated in his petition that the
bank oonld not meet the obligations as

Its liabilities are estimated at 1250,-
000 and assets at |200,000. W. H. C.

gave bond in tho sum of 1500,000. The
opinion prevails that the hauk will

RUSSIAN CRUISERS
IN CHINESE PORTS
PARIS, Aug. 24. -There is reason
to believe that t» decision is about to
be taken providing for the voluntary
disarmament of the Russian orniser
Aakold and the torpedo boat destroyer
Grozovoi, now at Shanghai and the
Ruakian oruiser Diana at Saigon.
This will be done primarily to avoid
international complications and will
bave the effeot of reducing the Rus
sian strength by three strong units,
bnt the Russian authorities consider
that this will be offset by the avoid
anoe of the possible capture of the ves
sels named by the Japanese.
Advioes reoeived here from Saigon
sbow oontrary to previous announce
ments, that the Diana is in a very bad
eondition. She iiad one large hole iu
ber lioll below the water lino. Her
Injuries will take weeks to repair.
This would have permitted an exten
sion of her sojourn in a neutral port
beyond the twenty.four hours which
expired yesterday, but it is foreseen
tbat the repairs would entail such
stay at Saigon that it is possible that
questions affecting the neutrality of
the port would be likely to arise, and
therefore Russia is disposed to disarm
tbe Diana, whioli thereafter will re
main at Saigon during the war.
The final determination iu tho mat
ter has not yet been taken but tho
tondenoies are strongly as indicated.
II is expeoted that the action to be
taken at Shanghai and Saigou will re
lieve the oases of international sig
nificance and practically closo them.

DEATH OF 1
C.WJICKEBSOH
Charles W. Nickerson, President of
tho Suubury Trust and Safe Deposit <
Company, and oue of that city's fore- (
mo.Ht citizens, died suddenly at his <
homo, Aroh street, shortly after mid- 1
night Tuesday morning. Death is at- *
tributed to Bright's disease. 1
The decoasod for many years was a «
rosideut of Dauville, holding a posi- 1
tion as train despatchor for tho Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Westoru rail- |
road company. Ou the lfitli of Decem
ber, 1809, lie woddod Miss Elizabetli 1
Woods of tins city, who with three
daughters, Misses Mary, Gertrude and
Ruth, survive him.
For a week or more Mr. Nickerson
eomplained slightly of not feeling
well, hut lie attached no importance
to tho fact, and the members of his
family, as well as his friends, were
not awaro of his truo condition.
On Monday lie seemed to bo in good
health, and was at his post of duty at
the b.uik during the entire day. After
supper ho returned to tho bank and
was busy in his private oflico until al
most nine o'clock. Upon his return
homo he complained of foeliug tired
and worn out. He lay down ou tho
couch and soon fell asleep. His heavy
breathing attracted the attention of
liis daughters, who wore iu the ad
joining room. Thoy attempted to
arouso him hut were unable to do so,
finding him in a somi-conscious state.
Mrs. Nickerson, who had been out
spending tho evening, arrived homo at
about this time,and immediately sum
moned medical assistauco. Drs. Ston
or.Swenk and Oressinger responded to
the call,and did all known to the skill
of their profession to roliove him, but
with no success, the patient sinking
slowly but surely, until the Angel of
Death came shortly aftor tho hour of
midnight.
Charles W. Nickerson was aged 6ft
years and 25 days. He was born at
Steubonsvillo, Ohio, July 28, 1838. —
His parents, who were of English do
cout died when ho was but olevon
years of ago. By this unavoidable
state of circumstances he was thrown
upon his own'resourcos to battle with
the stern realities of tho world.
Aftor speuding several years in his
native town, Mr. Nickerson made his
way to Philadelphia, where he secur
ed a position iu the oflice of the Oity
Register. Ho remained there for some
time, and then wont to Elmira, N.Y.,
where he engaged with much success,
in various pursuits.
Mr. Nickerson next located in Dan
ville. Some years later lie went to
Northumberland where ho took up tho
coal busiuess, being tho special agent
of the Scott Coal Company of Erie,for
this district. Ho remained there only
a short time, removing to Sunbury to
continue iu tho same business until
1890.
Realizing that Sunbury was large
enough to afford a second hanking in
stitution, he set about to accomplish
the organization of another bank and
with a number of others applied all oi
his energies in that direction and the
formation of The Sunbury Trust and
Safe Deposit Oampany was tho result
' of their labors. Mr. Nickerson was
elected president and served in that
capacity continuously until the date
of his d«ath. His career in the bank
ing world has been crowned with most
signal success and the eminence to
which he so ambitiously aspired, has
been happily reached.
During the civil war Mr. Nickerson
enlisted in a company that went to
the front from Wililamsport and took
part in several engagements, tho most
uotablo of which was the battle of
Fredericksbrug. He was a member of
the Masonic and Knights' Templar
fratornities.
Those who knew Mr. Nickerson but
suporfioially might lie inclined to re
gard him as stem; but he was stern
only in holding fast to that which he
believod to be right; iu very truth, ho
was a man of kindly heart. His nob
lest traits were shown only to his
nearest friends, becauso in all his
movements he was unostentatious. Iu
busiuofs he was a forceful factor, en
terprising and progressive; and iu all
his relations in life,he realizod a high
typo of manliness as husband, father,
friend and citizen.
The Giant's Loop Looper.
This season tho Adam Foropaugh
and Sells Brothers united shows aro
exploiting throe distinctly dift'ercut
and equally inimitable cycling feats:
that of Prodigious Porthosin vaulting
awheel across a chasm fifty foot in
width; of "Cyclone," the cycling
paradox, who spirally ascends tho ab
solutely perpendicular iuteiior of
"Tho Devil's Chimney" on his biko,
and of Diavolo looping the loop.
Whon they introduced the latter
uchievcment at Madisou Square Garden
and in Philadelphia it created a gen
uine popular furore,and elicited more
piaise and was given moro pictorial
and descriptive spaco in the nowspap
, ors of those cities than any previous
i areuic sensation ever presented there.
In the performance of this reckless-
I ly daring and dumbfounding triumph
i over gravitation's edict, starting from
the apex of the canvas dome, Diavolo
makes a wildly swift dash down a nar
row, dangerously stoep incline on a
bicycle, thus gaining a comet-like
, momentum which carries him up and
around the loop at "Empire Stato Kx
i press" speed
At the top of tho loop both tho rider
i and wheel are upisde down,and in the
i twinkling of an eye complete the cir
cuit, to resume their normal position.
The-thtee marvelous wizards ot the
wheel named will appear at each per
formance of the big show atShamokiu
on Monday, August 2Uth.
A Fortunate Young Landy.
Miss Jenuio Martin, 176 North Paul
St., Rochester. N. Y., says: I suffer
ed long from kidney complaints—home
physicians and their medicine failed
to afford 1110 relief. A friend induced
mo to try Dr. David Kennody's Fav

time I had taken two bottles I was

NARROW ESCAPE OF
FIFTY FAMILIES
NEW YORK, AUR. 24. Piro today
destroyed a fivo story brick tenement
house in tho Williamsburg section of
Brooklyn and over fifty families nar
rowly escapod with their livos. Four
alarms wore sounded, and most of the
Brooklyn lire fighting apparatus was
callod into service.
Early reports of loss of life could
not at once be substantiated, the flames
being so hot as to drive back tho res
cuing parties. The blazo apparently
started in tho front of the center tone
nient and spread in both directions
and then to the rear.
The hallways quickly were filled
with smoke and many of tho occup
ants had to escape over the buildings
in the rear, which also soon caught
fire but it is beileved all escaped. One
fireman was slightly injured. The loss
is estimated at $20,000.
RUSSIA MUST
IGNORE CHINA
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 24, 8:30
a. iu.—Tho Vovosti today says : "Con
tinued violation of neutrality laws ill
tho Chinese ports by the Japanese will
compel us to regard tho Chinese em
pire or at loast part thereof as being
within the sphere of active hostilities.
"China lacks either the power or
tho inclination topieseut Japanese in
cursion. The warships of neutral pow
ers idly watch those violations. There
fore the agreement as to China's neu
trality, made at the beginning of tho
war, becomes a dead lettor and Russia
must ignore it in solf defence."
Unwholesome Fruit.
The Philadelphia Department of
Publlo Health has sent out a warning
of tho danger of eating unripe and
overripe fruit. It says that careless
ness iu the consumption of fruit causes
much illness.
The Department is right. Ever since
man learned tho difference between
fruit lie might eat and that which he
might not eat, he iias been devouring
it ripo, unripe and overripe. And he
lias been paying tho penalty by in
croasiiiK the tribes of doctors and un
dertakers.
Tho adult stomach seems to be weak
er tliau the juvenilo. Lot a grown
porsou eat a quart of unripe apples or
peaches and a quantity of off-colored
and sour hlackborrios and lie will
quickly bo tiod up in the hardest kind
of knots. But a small boy can get
away with the whole lot, without any
great incouvoniouce, especially if the
fruit has boon stolen." Was any hoy
evor made sick by eating stolon fruit?
Tho Dopartmont lias overlooked one
important point. Tho Gating of one
unripo apple has been known to causo
frightful illness when whiskey and
ginger wore within reach. There
should be an additoual warning against
keeping unripe fruit and whiskey in
the Ifouso at the same time.
And lastly, don't oat frint until it
Is properly and naturally riponed.
Ooucrete Monuments.
A new idea in monumonts is lo make
them of concrete roiuforeod with steol
rods. Tho monument thus made can
be of any size and yet of 0110 piooe.
Rooontly in Hungary on tho rivor
Tiieiss an oholisk 74 feot It inches high
abovo tho baso was made of reinforced
ooncroto with prefect success,tho total
height, including foundations, being
81 feet 3 inches. The work is made
hollow, it appears to savo material,
the walls being six incites thick. Tho
panels wero finished with a coating of
lino material and polishoi. Tho entire
cost of the monumont was $1,522. An
other monument or reinforced concrete
like this,is ono erected in Rome,ltaly,
on Uaudagnola Hill. This strncture is
3!) foot 6 inches high. Iu viow of the
small oost of coucret) monuments, as
compared with those of marble and
granite, enthusiasts will bo likely to
unearth a number of forgotten heroes
for out admiration.

TRAINED NORSE
)£PHILIPPINES
u rs. Elizabeth M. Briuton returned
to Danville Saturday after an absence
of Home fonr years. Since leaving here
Mrs. Brinton has served as a trained
nurse under the government ; she has
lahorod in the Philippine Islands in
tlio very heart and home of insurrec
tion and has soen more of the world
than has fallen to tho lot of most wo
men.
It was iu tho year 11)00 that Mrs.
Brinton, then already a trained nurse,
was appointod to a position under the
government. Sho served for nino
months iu the United States General
Hospital known as tho Presidio,at San
Fraucisoo. In 1901 she was transferred
to the Philippines aud after the usual
on3 month's trip landed at Manila,
whoro sho went on temporary duty.
In September, 11)01, Mrs. Brinton was
assiguod to Oalamba, Luzon, a town
about forty milos from Manila, where
the natives woro very treacherous,and
life oven for nurses was full of excite
ment aud adventure. While at Oal
amba a well laid plan was unoarthort
which had for its objoet tho massacre
of all tho officers of tho post.
Mrs. Brinton sees considerable to ad
miro iu the natives of the Philippines.
On some of the islands they are found
to bo vory faithful and trustworthy.
In Oalamba oveu where tioaohery
mado conspiracy possible it was a na
tive who betrayed tho secret and sav
ed the lives of so many people.
Describing the conspiracy Mrs.
Brinton oxplained that tho ollicers,
surgeons and nurses of tho military
station at Oalamba were quartered in
a largo establishinout which formerly
had beon a friar's honso. One of the
amusements indulged iu hero when off
duty was dancing, the music being
furnished by native orchestras, which
are always ready to offer their services
for a mere pittanco.
Tho post had no intimation of the
dark scenes impending until ono of
tho inembors of the orchestra yielding
to tho sentimont of humanity told an
officer all about tho conspiracy. Tho
musicians in their frequent visits to
tho station wero to keep their eyes
open and at such time as when it was
found that the most of the troops wore
away tho blow was to bo struck. Ev
ery oflieor was to bo killed but what
fate was kept in store for tho nurses
aud others was not revealed. It was
not infrequent that conditions prevail
ed precisely as desired by tho plotters,
and clearly nothing prevented a shock
ing soono of bloodshed but tho timely
warning givon by tho native musician.
The above gives a fair idea of tho
variety that enters into the lite of a
nurse in the Philippines showing that
her every day existence is by no means
doll.
Mrs. Brinton states that lifo in tho
Philippines has a peculiar fascination
about it, due to the luxurious vegeta
tion and tho influence of the tropical
climate. Tho unfavorable reports re
ceived hero are largely from tho soldi
ers who are tied down by military dis
cipline, who have no intercourse with
society and seo only tho harsh and
ugly phase of lifo. The nights arc al
ways delightfully cool and whilo the
days are warm,mercury climbing very
high,tho heat is always tempered with
a breezo.
Mrs Brinton spent Christinas, 1002,
at Calamba. She was next assigned to
Iloilo on the Island of Painay. While
in tlio Philippines sho visited many of
the different island'nnd found tl.e con
ditions of life innch tlio same.
Mrs. Bfiuton was first appointed for
one year; later, however,hor term was
extended so that in all she spent two
years and ten months in the govern
ment service. Some six months of this
time wore pat iu as nnrso at the Tub
erenlar Hospital at Fort Bayard, New
Moxioo, after sho roturned from tlio
Philippine Islands.
In July, 11)013, Mis. Brinton's term
expired. Since then sho has been fol
lowing her chosen vocation in Denver,
Colorado, whore she has charge of a
private patient.
Mrs. Briuton was the guest of Cap
tain ard Mrs. J. 11. Johnson at Hunt
er's Park yesterday. Sho is looking
exceedingly well after hor busy and
varied experience and is very highly
enjoying her visit.
Praise for Firemen.
The firemen are receiving their full
share of praise for their energetic and
faithful efforts in oombattlng the fire
on Saturday night. No 0110 is moro
ploasod thnn VV. H. Ammerman him
self. He feels giateful beyond all
measure. Whou ho awoko the flamed
were licking his bed room window and
that his homo was savod ho considers
due to tho porsistent and horoic efforts
of tho volunteer firemen.
In conversation with a representa
tive of tho AMERICAN Sunday
ho mado a lequest that ho he quoted
as expressing his deep gratitude to tho
firomon for thoir solicitude for his per
sonal welfare and his high estimate of
their services, which saved his home
from tho wreck. Similar sen timents
were expressed by Will G. Brown and
wife as well as othors whoso property
was menaced by the fire.
The firomon in turn desire to express
their gratitude to Mrs. Will G. Blown
for hor kindness in serving them with
cotfeo. From before midnight until :S
o'olock yosterday morning sho was
busy serving the refreshing aud stimu
lating beverage. Tho firomon were
much aided by tho cotfeo and altogeth
er it is a kinduesH which they will not
soon forget.
Dunn on tho Fall Busiuess.
Dunn's review of trado conditions
indicates a prosperous fall business.
Tho only disturbing faotor is in labor
controversies, for which thoro seems to
bo no roniedy. The Presidential con
test from present indications will not
have tho usual depressing effect upon
business. Whou dissatisfied labor con
ditions aro straightenod out there is
every indication that tho country will
soon bo enjoying tho frnits of sub
stantial busiuess ami industrial pros
perity.
Hot, dry weather would bo worth
millions of dollars to tho agricultural
interests at this time in ripening tho
grain, fruit and vegetables.
LITTLE CHILD
HAS CLOSE CALL
- Three-year-old Henry Foulk while
playing alone fell headfirst into a rain
barrel full of water at Washingtonvillo
Tuesday and that ho was not drown
ed was duo to nothing short, of a mira
cle.
It occurred about noon. The child
is a son of Mr. and Mrs. George Fonlk
of Washingtonvilie. Mrs. Foulk ac
companied by littlo Henry had just
stepped over to the homo of Mr. Koy
sor.a neighbor. She entered the dwell
ing and was soon interested in a con
versation with Mrs. Keyser, while the
child tarried just outside the door to
play with the cat.
In this position he was iu full view
from the Eagle Hotel nearly opposite.
While playing it happenod that the
littlo fellow caught the eyo of the
Landlord, Amandus L. Heddens. Tho
child was then on the top of a flight,
of stops which led into Ihe house, by
the side of which was a rain barrel
full of water as the result of the pre
vious night's rain.
Somthing attractod Mr. Heddens' at
tention in tho opposite direction. The
next moment, however, by the merest
accident ho happened to qist his eyes
toward the Keyser house. The child
thou had vanished. The sudden dis
appearance struck Mr. Hoddens as odd
and iudnced him to loot* closely.
It was this that saved tho child's
life, for tho landlord detected two lit
tle foot protruding above tho top of
tho rain barrel. Instinctively he dash
ed across the street ani scarcely dar
ing to hope that the child was still
alive seized him by the heels and pull
od him out of the water.
Tho child was still alivo and consc
ious, although nearly strangled with
water and iu a short time was brought
around all right. Rescue had come in
tho very nick of time.
Mrs. Foulk was overt ome when call
ed to tho spot and informed how near
her child had beon to death.
Danville and Milton aro two towns
that aro showing tho proper spirit by
having their streets paved. Ashland
will wake up to the fact that this is

fifth, was the haul by seven miners who
wore camping along the Ralliard Hon,
sevoral miles back of Shickshiiiny last
week. The guilty parties then had the
audaeity to try to sell their gam*' to
various farmers residing in tho vicin
ity. But those attempts was their
Jonah. The farmers at once notified
detective Holland of Boaeh Haven,
who immediately went to the scene
and succeeded iu landing throe of tho
men, who were taken to the county
jail at Wilkosbarre.
~ It appears that the men went with
tho express purpose of cleaning the
stream of all kinds of fish aud every
other living thing in it. Aud well did
they succeed, for in the eight miles of
the water that was dynamited, not
even a minnow can be found. Farm
ors who woro near whou the nefarious
work was being done say t'nat tho
water was thrown at least thirty feet,
in tho air, and that fish weighing sev
eral pounds were thrown out upon tho
bank. The farmers say that as many
as forty poles wore used by tho men,
aud that the dynamiting was nut done
until tho las: day.
Mr. Holland wont to the place as
soon as he was notified and succeeded
in locating and capturing one of them.
About ouc o'clock iu the morning an
other was captured and tho third was
taken from Ins house and placod un
der arrest about thirty minutes later.
The other four succeeded iu getting
away.
Mr. Hoi laud says tho men are de
generates and do not live like civilized
people, although they are Americans.
They livo in huts and sleep on the
lloor; dross in rags, and very few of
those are to bo soon.
As au excuse for the crime the men
said that they could neither read nor
write, and that they thought they had
a right to do what they had done.
Kndoavors will bo made to capture
the other four as soon as possible, and
all sevou of them will ho punished to
tho full extent of tho law.
The names of the captured men aro
Arthur Opliuger, Alexander Springer
and Harry Featherinan
FIRE CAUSES
MUCH DESTRUCTION
[Continued from First Page. |
house also helped to protect that build
ing, although tho porch at one time
was on fire and was burning rapidly
hut was extinguished by W. G. Brown.
Tho Brown building, higher than tho
rest, with its snooessive flights ot
wooden stairs on the rear was in great
peril,but the entire building was kept
dreuchod with water, Mr. Brown him
self playing on tho lower stoiios with
a garden hose, and Mr. Leister, who
occupies the flat, with his family,
keeping tho upper stories drouehed by
means of a larger hose attached i:i tho
house.
By this time a thousand people had
assembled at the fire It was a moment
of great suspense. lnunenso volumes
of smoke raining fire brands down in
to Mill street poured over tho roofs ot
tho Brown, tho Aiumermau anrl the
Pursol buildings. Jlou-es 011 the east
sido of Mill street even were in danger
and several of theso worokept drench
od with wator by their owners. All
this while only a Flight wind was
blowing and no ouo could help but
picturo tho fi ightful results should tho
wind increase or should the fire have
occurred during dry weather instead
of just following a rain, as on Satur
day, when everything was damp.
Such was the stato ot affairs when
tho firemen began to play upon tho
row of burning buildings. The efforts
of the fire fighters wore watched with
the utmost anxiety by tho many fami
lies whoso premises extended to tlio
very threshold of the burning build
ings. As usual, however, tho work of
tho firemen was effoctivt-. Several
streams of water woro soon j layiug
upon tho firo and it was not long until
the great blaze which lit up the lieav
ens began to subside. Each of the
barns was roofed with tin. which to
some extent may have interfered with
the best offorts of tho firemen. But
tho first thing done was to check tho
spreading of the fire. It was impossi
ble to save either the Ammermau or
the Panel barns; Sunday where
these had stood was to bo sten only a
heap of blaokoned debris; the building
on Mr. Woods' property is about half
burned bur will be a total 1<" Ni w
woatherboarding on tho east end and
a new roof for a portion of the large
carriage house belonging to C. U.
Moyor, will restore that buildng as
good as new.
Mr. Ammermau Saturday night stat
ed that Ihi has reason to believe that
the fire was the work ot an incendiary.
Ho returned home from the farm early
in the evening; ho stabled the horse
himself, fed him and closed the barn
and ho is confident that everything
was right.
A valuable cow. for which Mr. Am
merman said he would not have taken
fifty dollars, was burned with the
bam. Tho horse rescuod and taken out
through the insurance office had to l>o
killed,as its injuries wore found to be
of such a nature as ro preclude all
hope of recovery. An old buggy was
pulled out of the barn partly burned,
but a good spring wagon and a new
buggy, which woro further iu tho
building, were consumed by the fire.
In addition to tho large quantity ot
hay Rome twenty bushels of oats and
other feod were burned.
Mr. Ammermau had only a small in
surance on his barn and his loss will
be quite heavy. Tho Pursol barn
itself was partially insured, as was al
so the barn on tho Woods' property.
Liveryman Moyer carried no insur
ance.
Milton Ammorman and sister, Miss
Maggie along with somo city
wore camping cut over on tho farm
and had Willi them one of tho horses '
and tho barouche,otherwise in ail pro- I
liability tho two latter would have j
been burned also.
Milkmen Oarrv Milk.
No ono experiences moro inconven- |
ienco iu boing kept off Mill street ;
while paving is in progress than the I
milkmen. Theso aro obliged to tie
their horses at as convenient a spot as
possible, mostly on East or on West
Mahouing street, and to carry their
milk for a square up aud down Mill
street.

Why is it that Ayer's Hair
Vigor does so many remark
able things? Because it is a
hair food. It feeds the hair,
puts new life into it. The hair
Hair Vigor
cannot keep from growing.
And gradually all the dark,
rich color of early life comes
back to gray hair.
