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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
