PORK POISONED jIVE PERSONS From eating pork on Sunday the family of Michael Driscoll,of 25fi West Mahoning street, beoamo desperately ill. Five children were affected es pecially severely aud one of them nearly died as a result of the poison ing. The pork was served at Sunday din ner. Mr. Driscoll said at the time it did not seom right but the other mem bors of the family ate heartily of it. It was uot loug before the children be came veiy sick Michael, Jr., Emanuel, William, Julia and a b.iby. Julia and William suffered the most, the former being in a critical condition until Dr. Ourry, who attended the afflicted family, succeeded iu gaining her re lief. A hypodermic iujectiou was necessary to secuje rest for the child. William was able to be out yesterday, as was Michael, Jr. r who on Monday was not able to work. The poison that had deveolped in the pork made the pain experienced by members of the unfortunate family intense. Now, however, all of them are recovering. Postmaster General Vanquished by Death WASHINGTON, IX 0., Oct 5.- Heury C. Payne, Postmaster Geuoral, a member of Che National Republican Committee and identified with the history of that party for many vears, died at 0 :10 o'olock last night iu his apartments in the Arlington Hotel. Ho was B0 yoars old. The members of the family aud Drs. Magruder and Grayson and Surgeon General Rixey were at the bedside when the end came. Mr. Payne had been in poor health for at leart two years, but his last ill ness covered only seven days,an attack of heart trouble last week preoipitat ing the end at a time when, after a rest, he eeemod to have recovered a small measure of his vitality impaired by years of arduous labor. Death, came after nearly six hours of uncon sciousness ami was most peaceful. TO PREVENT DAMAGE BY ICE TO BRIDGES Experiments are to be made this year to prevent damago to bridges by ice gorges in the Susquehanna rivar. Last spring the bridges at many poiuts were greatly damaged by tho gorges. It is planned to plane heavy steel bars along the vulnerable points of the stouo piers. They will be firmly fast ened in such a manner as to beep the piers from beiug injured by the great blocks of ice tiiat ure loosened with the breaking of the gorges and the flooding of the river. The bridges along the lower section of the river aro to receive attention first. The work of putting on the steel bars will require several months. The Old Grave Yard Growe Worse With improvement the rule of the hour in Danville the time is surely ripe for action iu the matter of remov ing the old graveyard at the Bloom street Grossing which in its wild, un kempt appearauce now looms up as an especially undesirablo place sinco it stands just at the point whore the new rolley will lot off passengers from Bloomsburg. No one being kept to take care of tho cemetery, there is no deuying the fact that its condition actually is dis graceful. Possibly the operation of the trolley liuo will draw to this point people who seldom go there and will cause them to learn what a bad thing for the city this unkept burying ground is. The effort to raise a fund for a sol diors' monument already has been not ed and it has been recorded that the movement so far as it went was fairly successful. Tho public park project fouud favor, notwithstanding no de finite action lias been taken. A com bination of tho two movoments aud a little euergy thrown in would work wonders. Tho old graveyard would make an admirable park, likewise a desirable site for the proposed monu ment. It' thoso having in charge the matter were to work more zealously this fall and winter preparatory to establishing a park aud completing the monument fund, a plaoe of beauty and a stately mark of respeot for fall eu heroes might next spring supplant the cemetery of which all persons thoroughly interested in Dauvillo's welfare are ashamed. Surprise Party. Mr. and Mrs. Hilkert were tondered a surprise party at their home near Moorusburg ou Saturday last. An ex cellent dinner was served. Those pres ent were: Mr. aud Mrs. Henry Moser of Washingtonville, Mr. and Mrs. Oharles Martz aud daughter Helen of Jersoytown.Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Rob inson.

Hoover's Cider Press Hoover's cider press, South Dau villo, will bo making the juice fly from the apples at a lively rate this week and next, tho two busiest weeks of the season for this mill. The mill now is making as much as 1500 gallous of cider a day. While 1500 gallons is no mean record this is not the mill's record, for the business at 0110 time was considerably better than now. Several years ago as high as 4,000 gallons of cider a day was not au unusual day's work for this well-knowu concern. EXPERTS lAIE MANYADMIBSIONS The continuation of the hoariug iu the grade crossing matter again drew an interested crowd to the Oourt House on Saturday wlieu the railroad eide of the ease was nearly completed. Ex pert testimony was again adduced,but the admissions gained from theexpeitß by the oounsel for the trolley company were of a nature to help the trolley people, the sharp cross examination establishing that in Scranton, a city where the D. L. & W. traffic is ex tremely heavy, thore are many grade crossings necessarily more daugoroas tliau the Mill street oue could ever be. After disposing of several minor af fairs Judge Little nulled the crossing c*se at M:4S o'olook Saturday morning and Ex-Senator Herring opened it by calling the Oourt's attention to the fact that Expert Wright was under orosg examination on Friday when the afternoon session was adjournod. It was agreed that the railroad counsel will recall hini later if the trolley peo ple desire to contiuue his examination. The first witness called by Attorney McCliutock was E. B. Deed, of Scran ton, a street railway engineer, who said au overhead crossing at Mill street is possible. He advocates one of single post construction. The maps and plans again were produeod to try to establ ish that the grade of the proposed over head crossing would uot be excessive. The witness gave SIO,OOO as au esti mate of the cost of a. Mill street over head crossing and i12,000 for either the Ferry stroot or alley route. Attor ney Scarlet's questioning revealed the fact that an overhead crossing in Mill street would mean the construction of a block of conorete about 400 feet long, all told, right iu the maiu business thoroughfare. The cross examination further established that water mains, polos,wires and cables all would have to be dealt with. "Have you any grade crossings in Sorauton?" queried Mr. Scarlet. The anwsor was: "At tweuty different points; and over four tracks cars pass eaoli way every 7.' 3 ' minutes from 5 a m.to 1 a. Hi." The next question of the tiolloy counsel was objected to and the Oourt sustained the objection, to the witness did not have to tell how many trolley accidents have occurred in teu yours on the grade crossings at Sorauton. The next admission eecur od from tho witness was that on the Scranton trolley line there are only five or six overhead crossings and these are not in the built-up part of the town. Engineer Reed was on the stand nearly an hour. Lincolu Bush, of East Orange, N. J., chief eugiueer of the D L. & W,. gave a lengthy recital of Ills engineer ing experieuues and tried to show that an overhead crossing would be a good thing for Danville. Engineers Begg, Moser and Dowdy were oalled next to prove maps and plans from their notes. Then Chief Engineer Bush agaiu took the stand to state his opiniou that de railing devices are not efficient. His estimate of the cost of a Mill streot overhead crossing isftl.OOO; $12,000 for Ferry street and moro than $12,000 for tho alley route. The cross examina tion ulearly demonstrated that tho overhead trolley crossings are not with out elements of danger and Mr. Bush was obliged to state that in Sciautou four of the D. L. & W. tracks are crossed at grade. Eugiueer A. H. Diehl, the next wit nesß, admitted that witliont the con sen 1 of the Borough Council the over head crossing could uot bo made and that the presenoe of water njainH, polos, wire Hand cablet are all ob structions in the way of the construc tion of such a crossing. Then it de veloped that not knowing the soil, whetlnr full of quioksand and the like, the costs of the ooustruction of the jrossing can not be estimated and the estimates given are in consequence not to be depended upon. Attorney Hinckley called the next railroad witness, Patrick Dowling.the D. L. & W.'s general road master, of Scranton, who rehearsed the doings of Thursday night, September 22 and who made the chargo that Pascoe's mon worked after the injunction was serv ed. On cross examination he Baid the only work the trolley men did was to lower a joint to mako the crossing safe and they did it with his oonsent and Superintendent Kine's. The ques tion arose as to the trolley men work ing on the O. L. & W. right of way and the witness could not exactly toll what is the right of way there. Jerry Diueen, the uext witness,who tended tho Mill street gates,told noth ing of interest, but Daniel Mar-don, who told of the ride from Northum berland made a number of admissions, one that the train was running with out led light, only a white lantern be ing oit a box car. The box cars were pushed in front of tho engine. He al so admitted that the train was stopped by a red danger sigual but proceeded even after the piled up ties were seen in the hope of knocking them from the track. The agent at Northumberland, he testified, gave the order to ruu the cars ahead of the engine. W. A. Olark,assistant special ageut, threw no more light ou the oase and shortly after 12 o'olock the court ad journed to 1:80 p. m. .just after J. M. Oasey had been called to the stuud. At tho afternoon session Casey re latod the iuuidonts of the frog-laying work. Then adjournment was taken to next Friday at U:80 a m ,when the trolley people, who have called all of thoir witnesses will bn allowed to pro duoe letters writton by the railroad to the tr>lley company. The hearing of tho trolley side will then be taken up. It is probable the number cf witnesses will uot be large but the testimony will be oxliausti ve. To Build Bridge Over Creek Two new bridges nearby will bo er ected over Ohillisquaque creek. The County Commissioners now are await ing the arrival of iron, which has been ordered, aud as soon as it couitm the construction work will be started. One bridge will be at Billmerer's and the other at Exoliange, the latter being oalled the Rrenncu bridge. The material for the two structares may come any day now. STORES OPEN AT NIGHT Many of the loading stores of Dan* ville that were closed evenings during the summer months Monday eve again began doiug business after the supper hour and the patrouage in all of them was good,auguring well for fall trade. The merchant!) are very hopeful for a successful season, provided the weath er is favorable. The resumption of night work in the stores presages tho advent of King Winter, brisk times and the holiday season. The stores will be opou evonings until the firht of the year. Beverly Mutselmau, of the Globe store, who is a leadiug spirit in gif ting favorable conditions for the clerks through tho Morning News, expresses to the merchants and public the ap preciation of the clerks for the sum mer relief from night work. Ho in formed a Morning News representative last night that au effort will liknly bo made in December to again secure re lief from night work in January, Feb ruary and March, which are dull months aud during which the businoss at nights is not sufficient to compens ate for the confinement of the clerks during the evenings. Grand Army Veterans Will Have Reunion LANCASTER, Pa., Oct. 5.-For the accommodation of the visitors the oommittue having charge of tho reunion of the Central Pennsylvania Grand Army Association on October l!J, the principal event of the day has boon changed from evening to afternoon when addresses will be delivered by Colonel Thomas Sample, General Gob in, Major G. Hearst,deportment com mander McNeviu, Adjutant General Stewart, General Waguer aud Past department commander Walton.

CUT AND CARED FOR SICK HAN'S CORN Dr. Paules, who is attending Elinor Sidlor, of Valley township, who be came vory ill ot blood poisoning from prioking a finger on wiro soreoning, yesterday reported Mr. Sidle* elightly improved and getting along as well as can be expected. The farmers of the neighborhood on Tuesday did all they could to help tho siok man oo to recovery by gathering at his homo and cuttiug and harvest ing all of his corn. This act of kindness of course oheered and ri lievetl Mr. Sidler. Tho corn-cuttors had a fine harvest diuner after completing their work. Foot Ball Days. Rah ! Rah ! Rah I The old goufalou is abroad in the land. The rallying crv of tho foot bull fellows haunts the air. It is tho cry of the strenuous life. It is the spirit of the couqueriug Anglo-Saxou thut vents itself—the spirit that has won victories from itfaseby and Marston Moor to San .Juan Hill. That spirit of the young American cannot be downed save by emasculat ing his life. It has in it the swing and goof suiierabundant vitality. It must voice itolf. Your college boy is no anchorite. Hough? Yes, rough to tho verge of brutality. The sport is played by fellows with red blood in their veins. Nerves court the shook of battle. There's joy iu it. The anaemic and shrinking can have no fellowship in tno fioroeness of that joy. It's in the blood. Normal youth must go up against something There's a fight in every young, robust mau. And tho avorago iustinct is for a free fight and no odds. Foot ball affords an open field and a fair ohauce. If it is not to be foot ball it will be something else and maybe something worse. The forces of life gather and there must be vent. Moreover— The qualities required in football are tho manly qualities—fairness,quick obedieuoe, patience, alertness, force ful onergy. These qualities will en able tho young man who tackles his adversary to tackle the more serious rush line of life's great foot ball game. Hah ! Hah ! Hah ! It is the cry of tlie coming genera tion—the sharp challenge to the fu tuie. You may depreoate tho game. You may disprove tho play. But— You cannot stop it. Fire at Watsontown. The large planing mill of J. H. Wagner & Co., at Watsoctown, was destroyed by lire Saturday afternoon, a small roof blnzi being discovered at 12:40 o'clock and within twenty min utes being fanned into a fury by tlie liigb wind. The Milton and Watson town lire department both comhatted tliH flames, but all of the mill build ings wore destroyed, also the lumber piles near the Philadelphia and Erie track and a l:»rge brick IIOUBO belong ing to the pinning mill company. Three families occupied the house and lost praclically all of their belong ings, the family ol Bruoo Ulrich, that of Wilson Stranb and of a man named Young. Several other iionses got afire but the small blazes were quickly ex tinguished. The total fire loss is about $75,000, (111 which there is 133,000 in surance. The Waguer mill was one of Watsontewu's loading industries and was rushed with orders, HO the loss to the town will be great. Foot Ball Scores. J The Dleouisbutg Normal Soliool foot ball eleven defeated the Wilkesbarre High School t am at Bloomshurg on Saturday by a score of 15 to 0. The Berwick foot ball team was de feated at KilH'Stou on Saturday by the Wyoming Seminary by a scoro of 12 to 0. FIRST TROLLEY CARJNDANYILLE That nearly every ono in Danville desired to greet the appearance of the first trolley car over the new road was attested by the fact that shortly after 11000 Monday crowds of citizens be gan to gather ill the vicinity of Bloom street,above the Philadelphia & Read ing railroad crossing, aud remained there eagorly looking toward Blooms burg. At about 4:30 o'clook the size of the assemblage increased to soveral hundred persons, not couuting scores of ohildren from tho schools. At last tho long wait ended iu disappointment upon the arrival of a message that the car would not leave Bloomsburg uutil six o'clock. The actual time of loav iug Bloomsburg proved to be 8:20 o'clock iu the evouing. It was about one year ago that tho difficulties of securing the right of way over the proposed line wtro un dergone. During last winter nothing was doue 011 the construction work, audit was not until May 23rd that grading was first begun on Bloom street. It was just twenty minute* after eight o'clook last evening when W. F. Pas ooe took the charge of car No. 1 at Market Square, Bloomsburg,and start ed on the first trial run over tho new line. The first stop was made at the Fish lug Creek bridge, where considerable pains wore taken to thoroughly test the frog and sharp curve at this point. About twenty minutes weio spent there aud everything was found to bo in first class working ordor. The progress from this point intu Danville was necessarily slow, frequent stops being made to clear obstacles from the tracks. Many of the crossings had be come covered with weeds aud dirt aud had to be oleared, and iu places the trees projectod over the track iu such a way that it was necessary to trim them before tho car could proceed. All along the route as the car's shrill whistle heralded its approach wiud ows were thrown up,aud night-capped heads appeared, to call a welcome to the trolley. Wlieu the car reached Danville at 10:50 many of those who were waiting earlier iu the evoning had returned home, but a large crowd quickly gathered as soon as it bccamo kuown that the car was ou Bloom street. From au engineering standpoint the trial trip was au unqualified success. The car rode as smoothly on the tracks as a vestibuled limited. No eleotrioal leakages were discovered,and the volt age was constant and maximum throughout tho run. One of the men on board the car who has had twenty five years of engineering experience and who has been ou of trial trolloy runs stated last evening that never had he seen a test trip that loft so little to be desired. Those who accompanied Gcnoral Superintendent Pascoe ou tho trial run last night were: Arthur L. Davis, Superintendent of the Dauville and Bloomsburg lino, Milton Pascoe, as sistaut engineer of the coustrnctiou company, L. P. Bains of tho construc tion company, W. P. Condon, repre senting tho Keeler Boiler Company, J. M. Stead of the Quaker City Belt Company,and Alfred Armstrong of the Oar Advertising Company. Charles Kleim,Lawrence Tooley.Bart. Beistle and George H. Keider of Bloomsburg ; Harry Meusoli of Rupert, Harry Pat ton of Dauville and Theodore R. Angle,representing the Morniug News. After tho car had been safely land od at tho Philadelphia & Reading tracks Mr. Pascoe took about a hun dred Danville oitizons to Mechanics villo and roturu. The party greatly enjoyed the ride, and returned about midnight. In Sunbury Jail Dora Susuushie, a deaf and dumb tomato of the Shamokin and Coal township alma honse for tho past two years, Saturday was dismissed from that institution on account of bad be havior, having beaten another inmate, Mrs. Annie Zebroshie and others, and beiDg a gonoral disturber. The girl was brought to this coun try several years ago by her brother August, and soon aftor, August and another brother, Michael, got into a law suit over the care of the unfortun ate girl,and the court ruled that neith er could be held responsible for her care, and she became a charge on the township poor board and was sent to the alms house where she caused al most continuous trouble. Saturday, after being dismissed from the alms house, she went to the homo of her brother Michael, who rofused to take her in. She was later arraigned before Just ico.McCormick, on information mado at tho instance of the poor board, aud was committed to tho Sunbury jail. Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

LOOAL RELICS OF ANTIQOITY lii ill accord with the uew Mill street pavemeut, modorn, substantial aud sightly,arc those relics of the past that darken the eutrauces of so many business houses—tho antiquated,dingy woodou coverings usod as awuings. While tho Oounoil iu votiug public improvements is alivo to the needs of au up-to-date city the merchants should rise to tho exigencies of the time aud get iu the liua of progress. These woodou coverings are not ouly in the naturo of obstructions and un sightly ohjoots, but they in fact are a hindrance to tho store peoplo iu keep ing attractive places of business, al most totally excluding tho light as they do. Wake up, Dauville business men, aud throw off theso sombre cov erings that seem likely to produce a Rip Van Winkle sleep! Evory wood en awning should disappear before the paving] work is finished so that Mill street may become a sprightly, beauti ful business thoroughfare. PRELIMINARY HEARING [Continned from First Page.] pany's property and after being struck by a tie. Amtnon Reiser, au operator at the D. L. & W. station,testifiod to finding tho key hole of his station door plug god with oinder and having to enter through a wiudow. Ho gave no now testimony oxcept that ho admitted that the engine of tho Scranton train was waved back with led lights before ties were placed iu front of it. Dauiel Blizazrd, a section foreman, who was next called, testifiod as the others did and addod his own experi ence of hitting a man wheu the ties wore being thrown and in turn being hit. For a whilo after that ho was ob livious to what transpired. Ou cross examination he professed ignorance of a car of pick handles being ou tho train front Scranton aud a load of Italians figuring in the case, and in response to a direct question said ho received uo ordor that night to remcvo au ob struction from the track, but was sup posed to work without an order. Dennis Diueen,another section fore man, gave his version of the frog-lay iug. J. E. Adamsou, chief special agent of the D. L. & W.,told of arriviug on the Scrauton train and signalling the engine togo ahead to the crossing at Mill street at tho time ties were being placed ou tho rails by citizens and workmen. In the course of his testi mony it developed, ou cross examina tion, what a difficult matter the serv ing of the injunction ou tho railroad people was,the man who triod to servo it beiug thrown from the engine. The witness, replying to quostion, said there was too much noise for him to hear instructions given tho uiau to serve the injunction. He denied any knowledge of an attempt to throw Mr. Pascoo ovor a safety gate. Aftor tell ing of tin running forward of tho en gine to stop the work on the frog he replied to Mr. Scarlet's question as to the danger of lunuiug into tho orowd and whether ho would have stopped the engine by saying: "I don't know what 1 woold have dono." "That's a very good answer," the attorney re plied. E. M. Riue, division superintend ent, told of tho railroad men having acted under his orders and like the other witnesses gave an account of the happenings of tho night of the twenty second. Asked if the engiuo was tak en from the track as soon as the in junction was served, he said it was 011 the truck from 3:55 to 5:80 a. m. He deuied trying to throw Mr. Pascoe ov er the safety gates and said: "No, I did not striko him, I'm a gentleman. " The witness told of Mr. Pascoe's men loworiug a joint that was necessary to be put down beforo tho eugino 0001-J leave the crossing. The engino was under Mr. Rum's order to run 011 the orossing.the order being given at mid night. He deuied knowing that trains later ran over the crossing at unusual speed to knock out the frog and said he gave au order to liavo tliem go as usual wheu told thoy were going too fast. Division Enginoer Ray next took the stand and explained maps and plans for overhead crossings by Mill street, Ferry street or an alley route and gavo figures to show that from an engineer ing stand point the overhead crossing was possible, although Attorney Scar let oloarly sot forth what the blockiug up of 008 feet of Dauville's main street would moan and showed that even the turning of a load of hay in a thorough fare thus obstructed would bo a com plicated process. Citizens would be inconveuieuoed by tho inability to get off at store eutraucos and one of the routes proposod would run directly through the vaults of tiie First Na tional bank. Tho track would have an elevation of 18 foet and the cars would have togo down a steep grade and strike tho Bloom street track nearly at right angles, which the attorneys for the trolley pooplo contend would bo more dangerous than a grade cross ing with guard gates and a watchman. Attorney Scarlet objected to the at tempt to show that another route than the Mill street one could be usod. However, when Attorney Hinckley oalled on exports for testimony thoy favored the Korry street lino. En gineer Baker of Now York,a projector of several elevated roads, and Thomas A. Wright, of Wilkosbarre, general superintendent of (lie Wilkosbarre I Mountain Valley Traction Company, gavo expert testimony to tho effect that so lar a.s engineering work goes tho overhead crossing is possible. Mr. Wright gave as a rough ostimato |14,- 000 for tho cost of tho construction of an ovorhoid crossing, not accounting j for right of way or incidentals. Engineer Leonard Here. Engineer Leonard, who has cliaigo of tho construction of the bridge hero, J arrivod in Danville from Philadelphia yesterday.
