DOUBT WHETHER
PANAfIA CANAL
NGW YORK, June 28. 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."

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.

"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.

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.

STuPS CONCRETE
The Oouuty Commissiniiora hold a
meeting Saturday with tlie full Board
of Oook, Leigliow and Cooper present:.
The uew pavement at the Court
House oame up for consideration. Jt
was decided to construct a concrete
pavement* and also concrete step* in
frout of the building. The whole will
be a very neat and substantial allair,
the steps, especially,will be very wire
aud massive extending out in front ot
the building much further than the
present narrow stone steps. The build
ing altogether will be very much im
proved by the fine modern pavement
and steps.
Th ) ground excavated for the con
crete pavement will bo hauled to the
river aud used to iill up the low spot
west of the bridge approach belonging
to the county. The best of the «tone
removed will be employed in r< laying
the long stretch of pavement on the
north side of the Court House ground
ou West Market street. It was decid
ed not to begin work on the new pave
ment until after July 4th so as to
avoid the possibility of having the
street toru up during the demonstra
tion.
The Commissioners decided to deco
rate the county property ou the Fourth
ot July. A contract was awarded to
John H. Bangert for decorating the
front of both the Court House aud the
County Jail.
Our County Commissioners are cer
tainly ontitled to credit not only for
their enterprise in falling iu with im
provements generally, but for their
public spirit aud patriotism in decorat
ing on this occasion as well a 9 for the
studious manner in which they have
all along endeavored tc respond to pre
vailing sentiment and to please the
peopla.
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.
