IT WAS A JOCKY SHOT A correspondent furnishes the paper With a story of an adventure with Vhlob Joseph R. Kimble and H. O. Hoc re, of Rushtown, met recently. The former had employed the latter to btlp butoher a beef,an animal of rath •r Tioious disposition as the sequel will disclose. When everything was ready for the •laughter, the men entered the barn yard. This is enolosed by a high board fence, on the outside of whioh a load ad son was left standing by mistake. The stable door was opened, and the "Stub Horned Jersey" allowed to cross the threshold out into the yard. Be seemed quiet aud docile, and gave no indications that he was going to create a disturbance. Nor did he dis play any vindictiveness until one of the men started in the directiou of the gun. Whether he snspected the use to which the weapon was to be pnt and deoided to sell his life dearly, can not be vouched for. However, his move ments would suggest that lie had thoughts of that kind on his mind dur ing the next few oiomi nts. Suddenly lowering his head he made a plnnge in the direction of Mr. Kimble. In trying to esoape the infuriated animal by running around a straw Btaok, Mr. Kimble fell and before heoould regain his feet the brute was upon him, gor ing and tossing him againßt the straw ■taok. Mr. Moore rushed to Mr. Kimble's assistance, and succeeded with a piece •( rail in driving the steer away from the latter. Then came a race and a fight for life. The animal renewed the ■ttaok, and while ronning around and •round the straw staok, the men kept the enraged steer from reaohing them by striking him over the head with ■labs. Daring theexoitlng chase when one of the men fell, the other renewed Ilia efforts and kept the steer from gor ing the fallen man. In that manner the race continned for folly 16 min ■tea, at the expiration of whioh time Mr. Moore suooeeded in getting hold of the rope that was fastened to the animal's horns. After snubbing the rope arunnd a post, Moore ran to get the gun whioh Mrs. Kimble was hand*- Ing over the fence. Just after he had Moored the weapon the animal suc aeedeil In breaking loose. He again tallied at Mr. Moore. The later was In a predicament and to get oot of it, required prompt aotion. The fenoe was too high to soale, and the steer too eloae upon him to think of tanning. It *ai a case of shoot quiok.and shoot to kill. Throwing the gnn to his shoulder ha took a harried aim and fired. The ballet went home, the animal falling dead in its tracks. Both men were nearly exhausted,but With the exoeption of bruises and torn clothes esoaped injury. After the ex eltment had oalmed down, Mr. Kim ble took a knife and cat the auimal's throat. Y. M. C.

FIRE AT THE GILUSPY HOUSE The toilet room on the of the Gillaspy House was slightly dam aged by fire, Sunday moruiug. The blaze was discovered at abont 10 o'clock. A few minutes later and the entire interior of the room would hare been wrapped In flames, aud spreading to other portions of the building, would likely have oaqsed a serious conflagration. The toilot room is at the rear of the bar room, aDd nil entrances to the lat ter were closed on account of Sunday. Men seated in the offlne, were aroused to the situation of affairs by the Binoll of buruing wood and the sight of smoke issuing through oraokß under the bar room doors. Being unable to gain nil entrance they called upstairs to Mr. informing him that the bar room was on fire. When the latter opened a door leadiug into the bar room he was met by a cloud of smoke that nearly drove every gnost from the building. It was too dense to see in to the room and too suffocating to ven ture into.nntil the gioater portion had made its escape through the windows and doors which had been hurriedly opened. When the bar room was suf ficiently clear for an observation 10 be taken, it was quickly discovered that the blaze was not in that apaitment, but in the toilet room. The fire was under the long wash stand on the north side of the room,aud wlieu locat ed had eaten its way nearly through the wainscoting and a small portion of the floor. It was burning briskly and in a little while would have com municated with the joist and uprights of the building, where on account of the narrow spaoe of the closet and passageways leading thereto, it would have been hard to fight had it onoe got ten rightly started. By hard work on the part of Mr. Gillaspy and the men who sounded the alarm, the blaze was fiuallv quenched with the aid of buokets and a small garden hose. Several of the fire companies responded to an alarm, but were not required togo iuto ser vice. The damages were slight. JURORS FOR FEBRUARY COURT GRAND JURORS. Anthony township—W. R. Mills.

P. 1 CONDITION OF TEE RIVER With the exception of being some what stronger than on the previous day, owing to the continued freezing weather on Sunday night, there were but little oliaogns in the condition of the [river Monday. The foot passage was well nsed, aud in conseqnenoe a fairly well beaten path now spans the stream. There was less danger in cross ing, aud consequently people were not under the necessity of nsing as mnob cautiou as they were on Sunday. As yet the ice la not solid enongb for teams to cross upon with safety. William Mettler, of South Danville, drove over [and back Monday after- ha took a great risk in do ing so. On his trip from - tTJeiSoutTT to the North side he encountered con siderable trouble. He attempted to drive between two air holes and the ioe sank until the water ran over to the depth of several inches. |That caused him to make a long route up the river and back to the ferry land inn. He followed the same route on his return trip, and reached the other shore with apparent ease. Mr. Mettler was the first to cross In a vehicle when the river froze over in December. A few air holes are still vialble.aud the strong current has out a broad ohannel through the ioe between the North abutment and first pier. This extends from a short distance above the bridge to a polut below the water works, and the water flows through It with groat swiftness. The olear, smooth ice on the Sooth side of the river, affords the best skat ing of the season, aud lovers of that sport are taking advautage of it. Father of 28 Very 111. George W. Getty,of Oatawissa town ship, Columbia comity, the father of twenty-eight ehildren, is seriously ill, and grave doubts of his recovery are entertained. Mr. Getty, who la a man now well ou in years,and who has grandchildren and great-grandchildren in large num bers, is well known throughout this section by reason of the number of hie children,some of whom are themselves grandfathers, even though Getty's youngest child is not more than three years of age. He is a well known farmer and haa been twice married. Twenty of the twenty-eight children are living and a numbor of tliern have large families as well. While some of his offspring have gone to other states a number reside near the parental home on farms of their own. The story is told that at one time there was a good natured rivalry ex isting between Mr. Getty and another South Sider. The latter was the fath er of twenty-live children and then no more entries in the family Bible were made. Mr. Getty is a man who enjoys the esteem ol all who know him and there is a general expression of regret and sympathy over his illness which has taken such a serious turn and which is now of a week's duration. Easton's Next Mayor. Prof. F. A. Maroh, Jr.,of Lafayette College is the Republioan nomines for mayor oi Ea-ton. Park H. Davis is his Deuiooratio opponent.

' INTERESTING TALK ON CHINA Mra. Hoy, a returned missionary from Ohina.addressed a large congreg ation at Shiloh Reformed church Sunday morning. Mis. Hoy is the wife of the Key. William Hoy, both of whom have been engaged in foreign mission fields for nearly twenty years. For fifteen years they were stationed In Japan, but in 1803 they were trans ferred by the mission of the Reformed ohuroh to Toohow, Hanan, China, where they have since been laboring. Reoently Mrs. Hoy returned to Amerioa with her children for the pur pose of having them educated In this country. They are now at aohools in Lancaster city,and the mother expects to remain with them for several years. Saturday Mr. Hoy sailed from Chiua for the United States to visit his fam ily and native oountry. Mrs. Hoy gave an interesting and instructive talk. Siie was dressed in Ohiuese costome, aud exhibited and explained a large number of curios she had brought home with her. She spoke first of the sooial customs and manner of the Chinese, describing their oddi ties and peculiar characteristics, and then referred at length to her own ex perience among that people, showing how souls were saved for Jesus and the great need of more missionaries iu that field. While showing an instru ment with which Chinese children's feet are bonnd for the purpose of keep ing them from growing, Mrs. Hoy re lated a touching story concerning that ornelty. She had frequently heard olilldren screaming with agony when their mothers and grandmothers were tightening the instrument of torture about their little feet. Their cries of distress were pitiful to hear, and the speaker had often been pained when compelled to listen to them while pass ing along the streets. The foot bind ers are drawn so tightly that nearly all the blood Is kept from passing through the veins of the feet. What little there la must be kept in circula tion, or the limbs of the child will de cay and drop off at the knees. To keep the circulation up the child Is com pelled to walk, and if on acconnt ot the pain and agony it is enduring it re fuses to obey,the parents resort to more ornelty. They stiok pins and oilier sharp pointed things in the child's leg and compel it to keep moving aronnd on its shaokled feet. The Chinese are very iuquisitive aud their superstition is beyond descrip tion. Their method of greeting each other is very peculiar. The women in stead of shaking another person's hand, will clasp their own hands tight ly together and rnb them up and down the left Bide of their waists several times. The men clasp both hands in front of them, shake their arms from side to side once or twioe and then raise them high above their heads. Af ter that nnd without unclasping their hands,they bow down until their heads almost oome in contact with whatevor they are standing on. The higher the hands are raised and the lower the bow, the more distinguished is the parson to whom the greeting is being extended. When a Chinese enters a boose oc cupied by some foreigner, lie gniug to learn the name of everything in it and the use made of each article. He will open the stove door, aud ask how the Are got there. He will open oupboaids and qnestiou the owner the name of everything in them. Not being in pos session of ornaments of their own,they take delight in inspecting those in the hornet of the missionaries. Their superstition Is without limit. Among the ourios Mrs. Hoy showed was a stick about 18 inches in length, one end of whioh was covered with long white hair. When Ohina is visit ed by a drought, a famine or a contag ious disease the priests march through the streets aud wave the stick in front of them, for the purpose of driving away the evil spirits that has caused the trouble.

O Yetter, visited our city and were with us ten days in December, and arranged all matters, provided our oities raise the required amount of mouey, whioh has been done." Practically the same persons are in terested in the Danville and Sunbury Street Railway Oomp°r:7 and the con struction of this road will ftirt with the laying of rails in t.'ib Danville and Riverside bridge, it being the inten tion of the company to have iti road in operation from the Hospital to Riv erside and DeWitt's Park for the sum mer season. Following that the com pletion of the line to Sunbury will be pushed as rapidly as possible—Blooms burg Press. ••Dora Thorne." Next Wednesday eveniug will be seen at the Opera House the play of "Dora Thorne" which has been at tracting considerable attention on ac oount of the popularity of the novel.

A oompany of players well suited to their respeotlve roles huve been en gaged to interpret the well known oharaoters, and a most enjoyable even ing's entertainment is promised to all lovers of the good and best in amuse ments.
