JAPS FIRED UPON BED CROSS FLAG ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 14.—The Emperor lias reoeived the following dispatch from Qeueral Stossel, com mander of the Russian military forces at Port Arthur, dated August 28: "I am happy to report to your maj esty that at 3 o'olock in tho morning of August 27. daring a violent rain and thunderstorm, the Japanese again attempted to captare our loft flank positions, near No. 1 fort and Udan mountain. Their attack was every where repulsed. Onr losses were small— three men killed and two offloera and 98 men wounded. The wounded were brought in and are being carefully tendod. A number of Japanese corpsos would have been picked up by us, but the enemy prevented us from so doing by opening Ore on the hospital attend ants who had been sent out under the Red Gross flag. " Another despatoh from General Stoasel to the Emperor dated Septem ber 3, Bays: "On the night of September 1, the •nemy attacked Visoyaka and Dlin uaya monntains and the neighboring fortifloationß, opening simultaneously an artillery fire on the forts and moun tains. The leading files of the enemy, with tho Japanese columns followiug them, were discovered in good time and our batteries opened ou them. The leading files fortuuately encount ered some automatic mines and many of the enemy were blown into the air. The attack was repulsed in an hour. Our losses wore inconsiderable—one officer and seven men woundod." JAPANESE LOSSES WERE HEAVY TOKIO, Sept. 14.—General Nodzu reports that tlio heaviest fighting at Liao Yang occurred daring the even lag of Sept. 8. The Twentieth iegi men! having previously lost succes sively two regimental and four bat talion oommaudeissacrifioally assault ed and dislodged the Russians from Iheir redoubts at Yusfangmi'ao. There were no Japanese officers above the rank of Oaptain. Captain Yogami, commanding the regiment led the oharge and inspirited his men. The reserves unhesitatingly filled the gaps of the assaulting line. The men,unmindful of wire entanglements and other obstructions, rushed up to the Russian works, shouting: ''Ban aai." One battalion lost all its offic ers in the first clash and a private sub sequently oommauded it. One com pany was reduced to fourteen or fif teen men. The regiment's losses were from twelve to thirteen hundred. In spite of tiie fatigue, at sunrise, September 4, the Japanese continued the pursuit of the Russians, bat tho lack of bridges forced them to tempor arily remain south of the Taitse river. UNITED STATES WILL KEEP PORTS OPEN NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—Rear Admi ral Walker,the hoad of Pauama Oaual Commission, declarod today on Ins ar rival from Colon ou the Pauama ■teamshlp Finance that the United States government intended to keep the two open ports in the canal zone In spite of any protests which might be made by tho Panama government. He added that lie did not anticipate any trouble over the making of Auoou on tlie Panama side of the Isthmus, and Oristobol, near Colou, the free ports of entry. Rear Admiral Walker said that the woTk of the exoavation was now pro ceeding twice as fast and with loss men and at half the oost as under the Fieroli company. Health couditipus, he deolarad, were excellent and the oanal constrnction work was being rapidly systematized. He declarod that ■latements wliioli have found their way into the press relating to politic al excitement In Panama were greatly exaggerated.

This year his frnit trees were loaded down and Ills fields heavy grain and oota. The other morning his sou was bis side surveying the bountiful har vest. "Father," he said, "How doos Ibis strike you?" The farmer gazed *adly at his son and then replied "It's all right my boy,but its most gol deni ed exhaustive on the ground. " lAY MEAN A JEW FRUIT State Eoonomio Zoologist Surface has made pablio a report on the na tural hybrid between an apple end a Bartlett pear discovered by Major C. P. Oearhart and forwarded by him to the State Agricultural Department. Dr. Surface will experiment with the cariosity to determine whether a new fruit has been discovered. Major Oearhart's pear-apple which is being so extensively exploited in the newspapers was first described in the columns of the AMERICAN at the time of its discovery about a month ago. The State Zoologist states that lie will endeavor to learn whether the seeds of the pear-apple will produoe an ordinary apple or pear or whether as Is often the case with hybrids the seeds are sterile entirely. Hybrids of the kind in question are at times more or less imperfeotly grown by agriculturists or fruit grow ers, who cross the pollen of one plant or speoies upon the pistil of another. But the remarkable feature of Major Oearhart's freak iri that it was pro duoed by nature unassisted and that so far as the State Zoologist knows it Is the first one of its kind on record. The brauoh of the apple tree on whioh the hybrid grew had extended into the branch of a neighboring pear treet and the ovary of the apple blos som was fertilized by pollen from a pear blossom. In this way the ex traordinary growth was produoed. Dr. David Kennedy, Rondout, N.

A BRIDGE A1 RAILWAY After numerous rumors which prov ed to bo idlo talk we can now an nounce with cortaiuty that within a very short time Sunbury will be con nected by a bridge with Snyder coun ty and on this bridge thore will be an oleotric railway whioh will run from Sunburr to Seliusgrovo. That this is not a mere rumor was proven Saturday morning when surveyors from York, Pa., arrived in Sunbury and started the preliminary work in connection with the building of the bridge. The bridgo will be built at Baiu bridge street aud will connect with the Snyder county shoro near the road ruuuing along in the rear of Clement's Park. As soon as the work of the sur vey is comploted the building of the bridgo will be started and an effort will bo made to have the hridge up and iu service before the first of the year if the weather permits. Wlieu tlio bridgo is completed work on the street railway will be started and by the time spring opens the peo plo in Sunbury and Sliamokin and along the proposed route will have the advantage of a thorough modern equipped electric railway. Through the untiring efforts of At torney J. K. McWilliams the bridge and street railway is a sure go after a year of hard work. The compauy building the bridge is composed of Harrisburg capitalists and Ur. Mo- Williams is the treasurer and secre tary. The same parties aud officers composu the company building the electric railway. The charter for the bridgo was granted some time ago but tlio delay in starting the work was duo to securing the charter for the railway. The application has been made and the charter is assured. _The stockholders of both tlio bridge aud railway companies will be mostly peo plo of Sunbury. It was also learned Saturday morn ing that an application will bo made on Monday for a charter for a narrow gauge railway from Now Berlin to Winfiold to connect with the Reading railway. The road will be used main ly for hauling lumber.—Sunbury Item. Easy ou Tliobo Children. Uo » liftlo lenient with the chil dren during tho first few weeks at school. They have troubles of their own. It is protty hard to give up the oasy going days of vacatiou and cliango all at ouce to tho stern rogimo of the school room.

Everything was now Tho school house walls had been cleaned and theio was a new black board. But most of all—tho new teacher! Slio might be one of tho.-e rare maiden souls who could smile herself straight into your heart at the first meeting. But usually the new teacher was an enigma. How you studied tho face, noting every shade of expression from frowu to smile. Authority sat ou that face. Would the authority bo tempered with justice aud kindness? Vou laugh at the memory now? It was a very real anxiety when your feet baroly touched tho school room floor. What a blank in your mind about last year's lessons ! How tho sioken ing souse of failuro tortured you when the boy or girl next you made a suc cessful recitation. Surely the new teacher would put you down a dunce. And how tired ono's back got in those first days. You fretted like a wild animal newly eagod, hut unable to maiiifost your diro discomfort. You simply couldn't study. Betimes your head was muddled and tliore was a blur of water in your eyes. Poor little croaturo. Have you for gotten yourself? Don't Rcold the youngsters iu the midst of their initiate. Let the boy howl Homo. Ho is working his safety valve. And if tho littlo maid is weary and nervous, kiss and comfort her. After a littlo while when the ohil dron have settled into the routine,you can tighten the reins somo, but don't be hard on thom iu tho first few weeks.

PRESENTED TO FREE LIRRARY A very Interesting souvenir relating to Danville's past was presented to the Thomas Beaver Free Library yester day by Mrs. Anna Best Bobioson of Philadelphia. It is one of the original programs of the military and oivio procession to reoeive and weloome the Columbia Guard* on the oooasion of their retnrn home from the war with Mexico on July 37, 1848. The program, whioli is a very flue specimen of the printer's art and is in an excellent state of preservation, is enolosed in a handsome frame of large size. The presentation recalls one of the most famous events that ever took plaoe in Danville. The entire country urned out to do honor to the frag ment of the returning Guard that sur vived the bloody battles of Mexioo. The first division and esoort in the parade comprised the military of Col ombia, Northumberland, Union, Ly coming and Luzerne oonntieß undor command of Major General Greene, Brigadier General Watson and others.

The Danville Band and the Mifflin burg Band furnished mußic for the march. The Committee of Arrangements was aompoaed of William H. Magill, Cor nelius Garretson, William Richardson, Peter Baldy and W. W. Friok. V. Beet was Chief Marshal of the parade and H. P. Baldy aud Eli Wilson speol al aida. The Columbia Guards weie organiz ed in 1817 and were the pride of the town. At the outbreak of the war with Mexioo they offered their ser vices to the government aud in Dec ember 28, 1846, ninety-eight iu num ber under Captain Wilson, they were mnßteied into the Bervice. They par ticipated in all the bloody battles of the war with Mexi o; they made a great reoord and but little over half of their number returned home. Cap tain Wilson having died Dr. C. H. Friok succeeded to the oommand. Fnneral of Mrs. Qaringer.

THE SOCCESSFOF JODNTTFAIR It is ((ratifying to know that there has been a pronounced reform in the so-oalled amusement fuatures of many of the county fairs held in the state this year. Such reform had beoome necessary. Some of the features per mittod in too many instances made at tendance at the fairs almost impossi ble to self-rospecting poople. It is a reflection upon the intelli gence and good sense of the farmers, who are most interested in agricultur al fairs and are the largest patrons of them, to snpposu they must be amused with fake shows and gambling and shameless, immoral displays. It has been a fatal mistake ou the part of fair managers anywhere to admit them and tho experience of the past few years has shown that these things hate done everything tb discredit fairs and are more responsible for their failure in many coouties than any other faot. The moKt successful fairs held in Pennsylvania, and those whloh have kept up from year to year, are the ones that have been clean and free from fakes aud demoralizing shows. Such things have no plaoe in an agri cultural display. They are an offense to the decency of any community. The farmer Is not likely to take his family to an exhibiition where they have been made more conspiouous—as in so many instances they have been— than the prodncts of the farm. It is to the oredit of public morals that this feeling is so strong that fairs demoralized in thil way have been unprofitable, and in some counties have boon abandoned. The county fair properly condnoted servos a most usotnl purpose. The farmor attends it with the members of liis family to learn who of his neigh bora has produced more or better re salts than lie, to see the latest and best in farm implements, and for an intelligent and generally profitable In terchange of experience. He oan be useful to his neighbor in this, and his neighbor is usofal to him. There is something stimulating in it. It real izes the usefulness of the exhibit, and all go back to their work with uew ideas aud uew ambitious whioli are likely to produce still better results at the next fair. The agricultural fair is too iniport aut au event iu the farmers' work to bo demoralized and destroyed by fake shows and gambling trioks. The move ment for the suppression of these feat ures deserves the oordial support of every respooting commanity.—Phila delphia Press. Columbia County Veteran Association. A good many of the old soldiers of Montour county attended the ninth annual meeting of tho Columbia Coun ty Veteran Association held at Jersey town on Saturday. The day was a memorable one in the quiet country town. The street* were gaily decorated with flags and arches and were thronged all day with "Boys in Blno," along with the griz zled old soldiers being a heavy sprinkl ing of spick and span Sons of Veter ans.. Altogether there were some six hundred present. The line of inarch was as follows: Forming at the square and led by the Backhorn band, they marched to the old church,thenco back aud out to the station ; countermarching aud return ing to the end of the town to the Mill villo road, aud breakiug ranks at the sqnare. A bounteous repast was partaken of in tlio basement of the M. E. church, after the parade. The following ofTioors were eloctod for the onsning year: Prosidont— Maj.'l. H. Seesholtz. Secretary—Geo. W. Reifsnyder. Treasurer—Geo. Watters. The next annual ireetiug will be held at Catawissa. River Goal Operations. Last year large quantities of coal that had been washed down from tiie mines was taken from the bed of tbe river at ditferent poiuts, at Danville and Sunbnry, and now similar opera tions are in force in Columbia coun ty near Bloomsburg. Isaao Gross of Sunbury, and Bert Kressler, of Bloomsbarg aro at work in the river at Almedia about 100 yards from the shore aud the results are exceeding their expectations as tliev are gath ering fourteen tons ot coal eaoli flay, whicii is sold as fa9t as they can get it at $1.25 per ton. Those who have used it say that it burns all right, and as it costs less than one-third as much as the ordin ary coal they have no diffloulty in selling it at. fast as they can get it out of the river.
