Will the Panama caual ever be dug? A good many people are begiuiiiug to doubt it, especially when they consider the history of the project, which was first oouoeived some thiee or tour hundred years ago. Hope ran high when tlie United States was giveii the job and President Roosevelt's iuitial measures aud declaration promised well but a year has passed aud performance seems laokiug. First the old caual commission head ed by Admiral Walker was found to be unwieldy. There was too muoh divided authority aud some how or other the thing wouldn't work. Theu came a new order of things. Theodore P. Sohontz, a hustling ipilroad man was placed at tlie head of affairs, while Johu F. Wallaoo, an eminent eugiiiec-r was placed in charge of the actual work of digging the canal. Again hope rose that something would be done,but the old caual hoodoo is still at work, for now comes the news that engineer Wallace has hand* ed his resignation to the president aud that oaual atTaiis aro badly tangled. Yellow fever, too, has taken a baud, aud is sadly interfering with the work. Mr. Wallace is stopping iu this city until the Presideut shall act ou his resignation, which is said to be of a tentative character. He has made certain requests upon tho admiuistia tion aud these may be oomplied with, though the expectation in this regard is slight. If they are complied with Mr. Wallace will return to his post. If they are not it is iutimated that rev elations will be made that will ruu in olose competition with some of the odorous affairs of the ways wheu the Freuoh tried to dig the canal. Eugineer Wallace Is practically in hiding iu this city. He spent yester day aud last night iu coufereuce with friends in regard to his relatious with the administration. Mr. Wallace re fuses to Bdy a word about the situa tion. His reason for this, in his own words,is "That the situation is so del icate that I cannot afford to be quot ed in any shape or manuer." "Epworth League International Convention*' Denver, Colo. July sth to 9th.

Tuesday, July 25th., is the date of the aunaal Eagles Mere excursion via the Philadelphia & Reading Railway j Rouud trip rate f1.60. The strawberry season is drawing to | a olose. TO QOiBD TEE RAILROAD CROSSINGS J. E. Turk, Superintendent of this division of the P. &R. Railway, ac companied by J. W. DeMoyer, assist ant, oame to Danville in his private oar Monday in response to a com munication from Oounoil, oalling the P. & R. Company's attention to the unprotected and unsafe conditiou of their several railroad orossiugs in town, notably the Center street oross. ing at wliioli plaoetwo accidents were narrowly averted reoently. Arcoiuptnied by Chief Burgess Pur sei,Councilman J. H. Qoeser aud Sec retary of Borough Harry Pattou the offloials weut carefully over the ground Superintendent Turk expressed himself as firmly impressed with the danger ous condition of Center street doss ing, which he regards as the worst iu Danville. Conditions at the next cross iug, Spruce street,are regarded as but little better. The officials were very oourteous and their attitude toward the matter iu iiaud was sucli as to indicate that re lit t' will be forthcoming. The ollicials seem to regard a system of electric bells as more efilcacious than a watch man, although it would not prove less expensive. Iu every instance where bells have been installed,they say, the results are most satisfactory and no accideuts'hare occurred. One of the Railroad company's elec trloians will next visit Danville to make estimates, eto. Until he lias ac complished his task nothing will be definitely done by the Railroad com pany. But it is geueially regarded as settled that Danville will get a watch man at Center street or a system of eleotrio bells that will take care of all the P. & R. crossings. Rich Strike at Natalie. The Natalie colliery,an iudepeudaut concern, which has had a spectacular and somewhat checkered career, owiug (o the contention of opposing financial interests for its control, has just been proved to be one of the richest collier ies in the Shaiuokin field. After inany weeks drilling the Lykens Valley vein fourteen feet thick has been struck. As the colliery tract oompri6es 2,500 acres, the existence of this vein in all sections would mean that about 14,000- 000 tous of the finest quality of coal are available. Twenty more drillings in widely scattered spots are to be made, but the existence of the vein at Hickory Ridge, two miles east, and Marion Heights, one mile south, is so well established that the extension is virtually certain to embraoe the entire IX at it lie tract. That being the case, the colliery, lcng idle, will soon re* sume. The stock of the Anthracite Coal Company, the owner, is held by the bond holders of the defunct Na talie Coal Company, comprising the Columbia, the German and the Third National Banks, all of Pittsburg. The news of the find has sent up the stock of the Colonial Trust Compauy, of Pittsburg, which is deeply interested, the Columbia National belonging to th') Colonial group. MANDAMUS FOR A BOROUGH COUNCIL Hecaose there has not boon a meet ing of the Oentralia borough council since the second Weduesday in April, William J. Yarworth, the chief bur gess and District Attorney A. W. Duy of Columbia couuty. have been grant ed an order of court for a mandamus compelling the oounoil members to ex plain their reasons for not holding any council meetings during such a length of time. It seems that tho conncilmeu, James H. Farrel, Reuben Fahringer, Daniel M. Biuber,Lewis E. Davis,William J. Hines, Edward J. Gallagher were elected members of the counoil and that meetings had been held regularly until Edward J. Gallagher removed from the ward leaviug but five coun cilmen. Since then as is claimed in the petition for mandamus, two of the couuciltneu have deliberately neglect ed to appear aud serve as councilmen and preform the ducies of their otlice. The netitiou in part is as follows: "That the said members of council were sworn as councilmen of the said borough." ***** "That no regular mooting of said council was held since the second Wed nesday in April, 15)05, because of the nou-attendance of Lewis E. Davis aud William J. Hines. "That the alleys have not been clean ed during the prosout year, ani they are in an uuheatlthy condition and threaten the health of the oitizeus aud msideuts of the borough. "That no contracts have been uor can be made for the repair of the streets or roads of the borough. "That interest and bills remain unpaid." That taxes are unlevied. "That the business of tlio borough is neglected and iu disorder becanse of the willful aud malicious absence of said Lewis E. Davis and of the will ful and uialioiouH absence of William .1. lfiues fiom attending tlie meetings of the said borough oounoil. "That jour petitioner is without any other adequate remedy at law and therefore petitions your honorable court to award a writ of mandamus to the aforesaid members of the oounoil directing them to appear before the court and either to confirm or deny the chaiges or command them to meet forthwith aud domaud their oharges. " The petition is Higned hy William J. Yarwortli, burgess of the towu aud is sworn to before Justice of tlio Peace Joliu J. Kyan. The court issued an order granting a mandamus, the oouncilmen to ap pear before the court on July 8 at !) o'clock a. m.to confess or deny the charges or show cause why they have not held a meeting.

I HELD FOR CODRT ON MORDER CHARGE John Sees of Limeßtone township, was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Oglesby Monday afternoon charged with the crime of murder. His victim, uooordiug to the allegation, was Ilia twelve-day-old infant and the testimony adi'uoed was the ante mor tem statement of his young niueteen year-old wJfe now on her dying bed. All the circumstances attending the oase are pathetic in the extreme. The defendant is only some twenty-three years of ago aud present at the hear ing was his father as well as the par ents of his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Seoliler of Limestoue township, at whose homo the young wife is now ly ing. The information was made before Justioe Oglesby by Dallas Sechler. Saturday afternoon Constable W. E. Young accompauied by Chief Mince* moyer drove out to Limestone town ship aud made the airest. Sees was committed to jail pending a hearing, which took place at 3 o'olock yester day afternoon. On beiug arraigned the defendant entered a plea of not guilty. The first witness examined was Dr. O. L. Muffly of Turbotville, who reu derod surgical assistance in the family in the autumn of 1903, when the ohild was born whoso deatli the young hus band is held accountable for. It was a male child, healthy aud well de veloped, the physician testified, and was thriviug finely uutil the tenth or eleventh day, when after his visits had practically discontinued he was in formed that convulsions had set in. He was positive that there was noth ing oonuected with the birth of the ohild that oouhl result in its sudden death Dr. O. R. Rothrook of Milton, who has been attending the wife in her present illness, was the next witness. He is a well-known physioian of twenty yoar's praotioe. He has beeD attending Mrs. Sees off aud on for sev eral years. The family were poor, he said, but he had given them the same attention that lie would have given millionaires. Of the young wife lie spoke iu terms of highest praise aud said that sho was as bright and sweet a woman as lives iu the township. On May 20 lie was oalled and found her in an exceedingly bad conditiou as a result of a criminal operation,which happens to have nothing to do with this case. He did for her what was possible, hut the case was beset with unfavorable couditious aud she gradu ally giew worse. Today she Is still living, but there are no hopeß for her recovery and she is near her end. Last week lie informed her of the gravity of tier case. Learning that she iiad to die she told her physician that there was something that worried her very muoh ; she then prooeeded to tell 112 tier little baby boy, born iu lUO3, accusing her husband of causing its death. The child, she said, was strong aud well nourished. On October 31, 1903, when the baby was nine days old. her husband compelled her to take some salt to a neighbor's house, which had been borrowed. Wheu she left ttie child was well and when she returned it was vomitiug long strings of saliva. Iler mother was called and they work ed with the child two hours, wheu it seemed to improve. She said her husbaud was rough au d brutal to herself and children. He said lie did not want the baby to get well and once threatened to kill ic with a poker. On the night of tho day of its mysterious illness he would not per mit the mother to have the ohild in bed with her. Mondav his cruel treat ment continued. On that day he pick ed up the baby aud threw it several feet onto a louuge, causing it to lose its breath. When the mother flew to its rescue he forbid her to pick it up. Later ho took the mother aud child and forced them into a room where there was no fire nor light aud com pelled thom to remain there an hour. Again he took the child between his knees aud with his hands pressed on its sb nil. The next day the baby died and after death the finger marks were visible on the back of the child's head. Dr. Rothrock stated that the woman when sho tnade the statement was per fectly rational. He saw her again yes terday when although very low she was still rational Johu M. Reber of Milton, an attor ney, who was called to take the ante mortem statement on Saturday last, was the next witness. He stated that he fully explained to the woman the awful import of the statement she was about to make and apprised her fully of the effect it would have upon her husband. Notwithstanding she vol nutarilv made the statement and in full consciousness that she has but a few days to live. In her statement, which was read before the Justice, the womau says that her uame is Eva May Sees and that she is nineteen years old. All the facts uarrated coincide with the ver bal statement made to Dr. Rothrock. Mr. Reber testified that the woman when 6he made the statement was per fectly rational. W. R. Galhraith of Milton,a witness to tho ante mortem statement corrobo rated Mr. Keber as to Mrs. See's sound mi'iital condition. Mr*. Golder of Limestone township wan sworn. It was she who laid the little child out after death. Blood oozed out of its mouth, she said, and the back of its head was soft aud dis colored. The mother, she said, told her the storv of the defendant's abuse. Mrs. Golder swore there were no marks on the uhil d when born. At this point the District Attorney, who had the hearing in charge,rested, declaring that there was a prima facie case. The defendant was held for court aud as the offense is not a bailable one he was committed to jail Wheat is Getting Ripe. The wheat fields are already becom ing quite golden in color and harvest, will bo here by the Fourth of July. With very few exceptions, indeed, the wheat fields «how up nicely and the crop will be a good oue. Hay uiakiug is already under way, and the crop with possibly the excep tion of clover, is very good. The de velopment of the clover was retarded by the drought existing earlier iu the season. The growing conditions are now fine aud the corn is springing upward at the rate of au inch or more a day. Potatoes are also doing fiuely. BITTEN BY AJAYAGE BOG Evideutly the doga running at large in Danville are beoomiug a great nuia anoe aud a HOD ree of DANGER. Laat week several oaaea were reported in wliioh persons where aerioasly bitten and yes terday George Keifauyder, the well known uoutraotor, beoauie the Tiotim of an unprovoked assault by a big dog, wliioh hulda forth in Grove's Court. It happened abont one o'olook. Mr. Relfanyder was walking along Ohoroli street when the dog oame up beaide him aud seized him in the oalf of the leg. The brote hong on, vioiously sink ing liia teeth deep into the flesh and it was with diflioulty that he waa induo ed to release liia hold. Mr. Keifsuyder was nearly overoome with pain, wliioh shot upward affecting nearly the whole limb. He made his way to the oftioe of Dr. Ourry where the wound was cauterized and treated. The dog was at onoe ordered to be killed. Inquiries have been made of the Morniug News as to provisions exist ing in the Borough Ordinance relating to doge wliioh might afford relief to the public in the premiaea. The Bor ough Fathers who formulated one pre: ent (ordinance evidently believed that the "dog ia the friend of man"and they gave him, exoept under rare con ditions, the freedom of the town. The ordinanoe provides for the taxation of dogs and also tbat whenever by resolu tion the Borough Oounoil shall order and require dogs to be properly and securely muzzled it shall uot be law ful for the owners to permit auoli doga unmuzzled to run at large in, upon the atroets or alleys of the town. Five dollara ia the penalty, luasinuoh as It requires au effort to re call a time when a resolution was pass ed requiring the muzzling of doga, or at least when auoli a resolution was generally enforoed.it will be seen that our Borough Fathers re not hard on the dogs. Under the oiroomstanoes it may not seem strange that dogs good, bad and indifferent have multiplied iu the Bor ougli until as haa been demonstrated by the ooourrenoes of the last week or so they have become a positive an noyance and a aouroe of dauger. It is all right to shoot a dog after he has bitten some one, but it would be bet ter to take time by -the forelook aud reeort to some measure that would prevent people from being bitten. 23rd STREET FERRY, NEW YORK Reading's New Terminus in the Centre of New York City. Commencing June 25th the new up towu ferry at the foot of West 33rd street,N.

STORY OF GREATEST OF HISTORY'S BATTLES Francis McCullagh's Tale of Mukden to be Printed Next Sunday. WILL MAKE A SENSATION ! Revelation by the Score a Feature of Great Chapter of History. The Battle of Mukden, fought iu Manchuria in March of this yeai, was the greatest conflict in the history ot the world. There were engaged in it over 700,000 men, aud the Kussiau array fled like a crazy mob, helpless before the victorious Jar attest. The Hussiaus lost 200,000 men. The only history of this great com bat has just been written. It is told by Francis McCullagh, a cones|oud ent.who weut into the battle with tho Russian fore* s, and was captured dur ing the fight by the Japanese. Mr. McCullagh was an eye witness of tho battle from both sides, aud, knowing the history knows how to tell it. He has written it all graphically, as only an eye witness cau. He has not gone into the detailed work of the military expert, but tells his *tory (or the man who wants to read it hi good, clear Euglith, letting the horrible facts tliemset/r* stand out to adorn it and point its ,on*t moral. Mr. McCullagh's history has been secured for publication in Pennsyl vania by tho Philadelphia North Am erican. It will be published in two installments, and the first installment of eight pages will appear as a special supplement added to the Sunday issue of the paper for July 2nd. It will be completed on July 9th. The newspaper reader who is watch ing the peace jegotiations initated bv President Roosevelt will be able,after reading Mr. McCullagh's story, to see the neccessity for a cessation of hostil ities in the East—for the stopping of the dumb slaughter of drunken Hus siaus driven by incompetent officers. Of revelations there scores in Mr. McCullagh's history. He saw what the papers have, never priutd, and has put into concrete form all of the soattered bits of stories that were pub lished. Without doubt, Mr. McCul lagh's account of this battle is the one to which the future will look as the oue true historical account of this i struggle of giant armies.
