CHASED BY TWO
JAMB DOGS
Edna Dletrloh, a 14-year-old girl
of MUton.who is visiting at the home
ot Charles Robaoo, East Mahoning
stieet, in attacked by a couple of
lavage dogs Teusday and narrowly
escaped being badly bitten. The yoaog
lady wai attacked io the alley at the
rear of Mr Robaon'a and was chased
for some dlstauce,one of the dogs seiz
ing one of her limbs and biting her
below the knee. The girl was terror
stricken as she fled along with the two
dogs in olose pursuit. Just as one of
the dogs seized her limb Frank Merrill
and William Hnllihen came to her res
ooe. They heard her screaming and
running to the spbt were there just in
time to beat off the dogs as they both
were abont to spring upon her. The
dogs were in a savage mood and pnt
up a determined fight. The wound in
.. dialed upon the girl was not a very
, bad one, bnt there is no telling to
what extent she might have been in -
jured had help not arrived at the op-
Jiojtuuejnoment.
Aside from the bite inflioted the
""yonng lady suffered terribly from the
\ ' effects of fright and shook, so that
' medM&rassistance was neoessary.
attaok was altogether nnprovok
' ed and is only another instance whloli
demonstrates the danger that people
are exposed to from worthless dogs
whioli are permitted to ruu at large in
town.
Considering the large number of per
sons bitten dnrlng a month or so past
the situation is little short of alarm
ing and if there ever was a time
wheu Oonucil seemed oalled upon to
take some action relating to the dogs
that would proteot the public, then
that time would seem to be the pres
ent.

ANEJETH mm
l.ie "Outing" magazine for Jane
oontaius an artiole on "Some Old
Soouts and their Deeds" accompanied
by splendid portraits of the men. The
artiole was read from Maine to Oall
fornia but nowhere should it have been
perused with greater interest than in
Danville, where two of the most fam
ous men spent their early lives.
Among the excellent portraits are
thoae ot Seth Klnman, veteran Oali- <
fornia hunter and trapper ; E. Q. O.
Judeon (Ned Buntlloe) Sam Houston. ,
Oaptain Jaok rfayes.soout and writer; j
Kit Oarson, Buffalo Bill and others
As the artiole in "Outing" truthfully
observes "the old soouts have followed
their last trail; memories of them are
faat dying and only where some rare
bundle of photograplia is dag from
some forgotten oorner are the weather
beaten faoes reoalled to a new genera
tion and auother era."
Of the above plaiusmen aud Indian
flghtees.two of them as famous as any
spent their early life in this immediate
vioinlty, Seth Kiuman, a native ot'
Rush township, Northumberland Coun
ty, and E Q. O. Judson (Ned Bont
line) who lived in Daifrille.
Seth Kinman. who is an uncle of
Sheriff J. R. Sharpless, of Northum
berland Oouuty.was abont this section
until or probably after war tiuios and
is still well remembered by our citi
zens of middle life or older. As he
appears in the poitrait, armed with
his musket,drested in a trappers garb,
unkempt, his face half concealed by
shaggy beard, so he is remembered by
i those who saw him last. From boy
i hood he had a craving for the woods
aud the excitement and adventure of a
hunter's life. Ho dressed himself iu
boar skins, trophies of his own uner
ring aim,and slept out of doors in im
mitation of the hardy frontiersman.
He drifted to California and became
famous as a hnnter and trapper. Sub
sequently in life he returned to tliM
seotiou for a visit with relatives. Ho
returned to the West aud died there.
It may be diflioult to determine the
exact value of his exploits,hnt oertain
it is that he has earned a place for his
1 portrait in a gallery of famous men,
who helped to open up the western
' half of the continent to civilization.
E. Q O. Jodson (Nod Ruiitliue)was |
eaup.lly as well known ill Danville an |
Beth Kin man His father. L. O. Jud- I
son, wan principal of the West Dan- I
ville Academy in the first half of the !
last century in the years following
181ti. There are still those here who
remember "Ned Bunflino" iu his
school days. According to all ac
counts he kept things moving. The
scoot and novelist had a fondness for
the drama and daring his school days
organized a theatrical company iu
Dauville,atuoug the members of which
are some of those still living.
Danville was too tame for the yooug*
er Jodson and he ran away from home
and joined the navy. He soon proved
his mettle aud commanded respect
among the seamen by fightiuga couple
of duels. Years afterward he revisit*
ed Danville, making an anti-slavery
address at the weigh scales. Jodson
was already famoos as a scout. Not
kuowing how his address would be re
ceived or what he_woald encounter on
the occasion it is recalled that before
begiuuing to speak he took out his
trusty pistol aud laid it on the scales
before him. He was uot disturbed, fc
"Ned Buutliue" was Jud«on's uom
de plume. His novels, which were
mostly located ou the plaiusaud relat
ed to ludiau warfare, were among the
besS of the kind ever written aud
thirty years ago were very popular.
Don Carlos Barret, auothei teacher
the West Dauville School.about the
'!me that Judsou's father had charge,
is indirectly conuected with the sub
ject in hand. His name is not iuclnd
ed iu the list of scoots, but leaving
Danville ho went to Texas where he
became an eminent lawyer aud was
associated with General Sain Hous
ton. Summing up the "Outing's" ar
ticle states:
"Of such stuff were made such men as
Seth Kiniuau and Jack Haye.*, whose
photographs tell better than any eu
logy could do iu what heroic mould
they were cast '.
hree Rural Delivery.
The great and ever increasing popu
larity of the rural free delivery sys
tem is shown very oleaily in a state
ment sent out by Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General DeOraw ou July
4. He states that during the fiscal
year ending June 30, there were IH,-
072 applications received, asking for
the establishment of tlieue routes;
that is at the rate of IHI for every day
of the year, Sundavs included. Of the
above number 11,415 have been acted
on adversely thus far, and 7,492 favor
ably. As every application most be
carefolly investigated, the matter
moves along deliberately,but tin gain
each year is large. The number of
rontes now.in operation i* 82.058. An
order has just been issued by Post
master Ooneril Ooitelyou providing
that service on all these rural delivery
routes will be suspended on New
Year's Day, Washington's Birthday,
Docoration Day, Fourth of July, Labor
Day aud Thanksgiving Day.Our coun
try friends, therefore, will receivo no
mail on the days mentioned.
A Fine Photograph.
O. D. Ilobiuson, of Pottsgrove was
in this city yesterday, calling upon
some friends. Mr. Ilobiuson, who is
a photographer, took nome very inter
esting pictures In Dsnville during
Fourth of July,among them bxing the
graud chorus in front of the Court
House, which shows up with very fiue
effect. The picture is some ten inches
by eight iuclies and takes iu a large
portion of the assemblage gathered
to hear the choru*.
Death of an Infant.
Evelyn Bertha, the six months-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Whitfield
Ford, died at 8:30 o'clock yesterday
morning. The funeral will take place
at 3 p. m. today from the family resi

DANVILLE LOST
_TWO GAMES
Ou Friday and Saturday the Dan
ville A. A. plated at Bornbam, and
lost both games to the faat semi-pro
fessional club of that place. The Barn
ham team ia considered one of the
tastest minor teauia in Pennsylvania
and to be defeated by them refleots no
discredit whatever on the home team.
The friends ot the loaal team were
somewhat surprised, however, to find
that in the first game Bnrnham Ijad
applied the whitewash brush to our
boys iu a very artistio manner and
seut them to their quarters to ponder
over the afternoou's struggle whloh
resulted so disastrously, and, to get
themselves together if possible for
Saturday's battle. McOloud started
iu to pitch for Danville aud mast have
handed theiu up to Uurnham Just to
their liking, as about the fifth inning
our hero of many viotoiies was com
pelled to retire in favor of Deen who
finished the game in fine form. The
final score was 10 to 0 in favor of
Burnhara.
In the second game Danville oame
ou tho field with a determination to
reoover, if pissittle, the lost laurels of
the day previous and with Ooutts ou
the slab tiie hoys made a desperate and
graud fight, but it teemed that fate
was agaiust them. The Danville boys
outliatied and outtlelded Bnrnham,bnt
seemed unable to drive the necessary
runs at roHs the plate ta secure a vic
tory, and after one ot the hardest
fought games of tho season were again
compelled to succumb lo the superior
ity of their woithy opponeuts by the
oln,io snore of 4to 8. Harry Lawrence
made his first appearance with Dan
ville and although young and com
paratively inexpeilenoed made a good
showing. Fallowing are the fall
scores

Work flay Begin on Approach.
A persou who considers himself in a
position to know somethiug about
developments is authority for the
statement that theapproaoh to the riv
er bridge oil the South Side in a short
time will he fixed up to couform with
all requirements—that there is a com
pleto understanding about the matter
aud that the County Commissioners
are now satisfied to prooeed.
The citizens on the South Side as
well as the general public are full of
disgust at the condition of the ap
proach as well as at the state of af
fairs which makes such a delay pos
sible and they have stopped predicting
when the retaining walls may be built
and the improvouients as ordered by
the court carried oof.
The delay and the appareut indiffer
ence of those on whom the improve
ment devolves is all the more unac
countable <n view of the fact that
local opposition is no longer a factor
to bo reckoned with. Everyone real
izes tliHt a suitable approach to the
bridge is necessary and must come
sooner or later. Those who use the
bridge for heavy haoliug are put to
great iuceiivenieuoe.
It is hoped that things will turn out
as predicted aud that work ou the ap
proach may begin at a very early day.

WORKING FORCE
COT DOWN
As anticipated owing to the death
of John R. Bennett some ohangea'have
been Inaugurated about Oastle Grove
whloh at present, however, seems to
have gone no further than cutting
down the number of employes.
Fifteen men employed on the golf
links have been laid off. The future
of the links, whioh ate the finest in
the ooantry, is very unoertain. The
magnificent tract oovering thirty-seven
acres lies in full view from the Bloom
road where during the summer it has
been tnuoh admired by the large num
ber of people passing baokward and
forward on the trolley. For some years
past the fifteen men employed have
been kept bus/ on the links eight
manths of the year. While some are
mowing the grass others may be pull
ing weeds, sprinkling or repairing
spots washed by the rain. As a result
of the incessant care the large traot
with rostio bridges and other unique
features could not fail to arrest and
enohain the eye.
Notwithstanding their beauty and
well kept aondition the busy owner of
Oaatle Grove Jonnd few opportunities
to enjoy his golf links. That lie took
great pride in them, however, is man
ifest. From now on the grounds will
receive no espaoial oare. Already they
are taking on a peouliar greyish ap
pearanoe dneto a growth of white olo
ver, whloh is springing up.
The greenhouse force has also been
out down from some fifteen men to
four men and two boys. The painters
have alao been lalil off.
The dairy will be continued for the
preaent. This ia one of the Uueat in
the atate and the milk and oream Is
very mnoh in demand in Danville.
Lightning and Trees.
Tliii is the seasou of the year when
thunderstorms may be expected, and
as it la the period wlieu many people
are outdoors pionioiug, camping, har
vesting, pioking berries,and away from
their homes or near shelter when
storms oome up suddenly, the first im
pulse is to ran for a big tree, witli the
idea that the tree will break the force
of the wind or turn the water for a
tluiu ut least. Notwithstanding that
columns have beeu writteu, and an
nually the papers warn people that the
most dangerous place a persou may go
in time of a thnnderstrom is a tree,
yet folks will ran for the tree,just the
saute, if they are caught ill a shower
and there Is no shelter close at haud.
If a lone tree la on a bill or in a field
and of any height, a discharge of elec
trioity from a oloud will seek the
nearest and highest object that is
closest to the oharged cloud,rnd there
ia the danger too of wind breaking
large branches or overturning a tree
and killing or injuring any live ohjeot
underneath.
There are exceptions to all rales, aud
sometimes when the clouds are light
and certain to leave only a sprinkle, a
small tree thickly oovered with leaves
may give effeotive shelter from getting
wet, bat daring a thunder storm keep
away from lone oi high trees.
State flame Preserves.
The Board of Game Commissioners
met at Harrisbarg ou Friday and de
oidod to expedite the oreation of State
game preserves with the (6,000 which
was appropriated for game propagation
by the last Legislature.
The matter of seonring wild tarkey
eggs from other States, hatohiug them
iu inoubators and turning them loose
when sufficiently old tooare for them
selves, was also discussed but no def
inite deoision was reaohed. It will not
be long, however, before work along
tliis line will be started.
Ex-State Treasurer Frank G. Harris,
of Clearfield ; W. Hey ward Hyers. of
Williamsport, and Searteary Joseph
Kalbfus. of Harrisburg, were appoint
ed a committee to seleot sites for the
game pre§erves. They will be eatab
lialied upon State land already control
led by the Forestry Commission, after
consultation with that commission.
The idea of the preserves is to provide
a haven of refnge for game, upon
wliioli hunting will be allowed at no
time. The preserves will be enclosed
with a fenoe of single wire, about
three feet from the groand—high
enough to be jumped by larger animals
and low enough for small animals to
run under it.
The game men already have their
eye upon a couple of desirable spots,
one of wliioli is a plaoe in Clinton
oounty wliioli is a natural refuge for
deer aud other large game.
Salty Sentences.
Salty sentenoes were imposed by
Judge Savidge at Sunbury during the
usual Monday morning session of
oriminal oourt, In Beveral oases where
pleas of guilty weie entered by defend
ants.
Mike Petrisli, of Shainokiu, several
weeks ago, while stealing a ride on a
Readiug freight traiu, between Sun
bury aud Siiamokin, broke into a box
oar and threw several sewing machines
out. He pleaded guilty, and, after a
severe reprimauil, His Honor sent liiin
baok to jail to do hard labor for two
years. While on the return trip to the
prison in charge of the sheriff, he be
came ugly aud begau to fight with an
other prisoner, striking him several
viaious blows, Petrisli was hußtled
baok to the ooort house, and Judge
Savidge taoked another year to his
seutenoe for his smartness.
One year at hard labor was the dose
given Isaao Petrey of Shamokin. He
pleaded guilty to having broken into
and robbed the Readiug depot at Tre
vortou several weeks ago.
Harry Barni.of Shamokin,although
only nineteen years of age, is an old
offender. He has already been in the
Glenn Mills Reformatory, and has
served time in the Sunbory jail. This
time he was up for breakiug iuto and
robbing the saloon ot Nloliolas Solineid
er at Shamokin. He was given a lec
ture aud three years at hard labor in
the Sunbory jail.
Eagles Mere Excursion.
Tuesday, July 861b., Is the date of
the annual Eagles Mere exourslon via
the Philadelphia A Readiug Railway
Round trip rata 11 .60.
FODR NEW
STEEL BRIDGES
Four tteel bridges are beiug erected
in the county thia season, to take the
place of wooden onea, whioh have done
service (or years paat.
It ia noticeable that wherever new
bridges are bollt in every instance iron
or steel ia aeleoted as material by the
Oommisiionera. Thia ia because of the
growing acaroity and high prioe of
anitable timber. Not only ia steel ae
leoted for the branohea of the Chlllis
quaque and Mahoning Creeks,but also
for the small rniia, that make only a
oolvert neoessary. Derry township has
led off by selecting steel for snch a
oolvert.
Among this year's installment of
steel bridges are the following:
Oue over tha headwaters of the Cliil
lisquaque in Derry township at John
Blee's farm.
One iu Anthony tuwuship over a
tributary of the Chillisquaque at Hag
erinau'e farm.
Two iu Liberty township—one at
Henry Vincent's and the other at W.
E. Boyer's, the former over a branch
of Mahoning oreek and the latter over
a branch of the Chillisquaque.
Steel bridges of the above sort oan
be built for (140 t0(175, whioh is con
siderably below what wooden struct
uies would cost.wliile the former have
the advantage of being more durable
and better able to resist flood.
There are stilt a good many wooden
bridges in Houtour Connty. Some of
the covered bridges, notably those at
Waslilngtouville, leadiug to Danville
and Milton are very old and are still
in an excellent state of preservation.
The bridge on the Milton road, especi
ally, is said to be eighty years old and
unless it moets with some accidont
will stand twonty years longor. It will
be some years probably before the
picturesque wooduu bridges will all be
a thing of the past, but the day Is
ooming when the site of every one of
them will bo occupied by an iron
bridge.
National Guard Encampment.
Our solider boys are encamped at
Mt. Gretna this weok and we trust
that the weather will he propitious,
aud that no aocideut or illness will
mar the occasion. The Tweltth regi
ment has always borne itself credit
ably in every partionlar at llie Na
tional Guard encampment, and bneu
a credit to this section from whioh the
regiment is recruited. To be a mem
ber of the Guard roquires a great deal
of self-saoriflce, aud many unpleasant
features, and when it is considered
that the Guard is the uuolous ot the
national army, and defense in case of
war with a foreign nation or rebellion
there is cause for gratitude on the
part of the general public for Die sol
diery of the state. Pennsylvania lias
several hundred thousand men, who
have been drilled in tlio National
Guard, and who in ease of au emer
gency would be available,and an army
of defense assembled in a few days.
Only those who have served iu the
Qoard know of the sacrifices that
moat be made In a three yearn' or six
years' serviie, aud there is little play
or glory abont It,aud less appreciation
of the Regiment than there slionld be.
The annual eucampment is a necessary
feature of the National Gnard, as it
gives opportnuitv of extended drills
aud manoeuvre*, with large bodies of
meu, not possible iu the armories, aud
such work devolves upon soldiers in
actual service. With few exceptions,
however.the ten days of oarnp life ate
beuefioial to the "boys"—as eveu the
old soldiers and heroes of the (Jivil
war are oalled—aa the ohange of air,
food, aoenes and thought aßord iu one
sense a rest or vacation, audit does
most auy persou good to get away
from the usual routine and rut of home
life, business or vooation.
The present tonr of duty at Ut.
Gretna will give the guardsmen more
than a usual severe taste of soldier life
i but we trust that the encampment will
be of great benefit to the men, both
from a physical as woll as a military
point of view, and that the legitimate
pleasures which oome to camp life,
will more than compensate for the
toil and unpleasant features.
Equipping Cars With Air.
Instructions have gone out to equip
-with Westinghouse air brakes every
freight car'on the Pennsylvania Kail
road system not now so fitted up.
About fifteen thousand cars lank air
brakes.and to oquip them will cost (ISO
per car, or |!K>0,000.
Altogether more than 210,000 freight
oars are owned by the Pennsylvania
lines. Air brakes will be put on ill
the various nompany shops, as in this
way the woik can be completed quick
er than by withdrawing the cars from
service to send them to the Westing
house works.
Shortly after the Harrisburg wreck
the Pennsylvania Kailioad manage
ment determined upou this and other
important changes calculated to do
oroase the ohauces of accidents.
With all its cars equipped with air
brakes, the plan of the Pennsylvania
Railroad will be to bar foreign cars
not so equipped.
Assessment Not Changed.
Judge Auten on Friday handed down
a decision iu the appeal of the tax
payers of Coal towuhsip, Northumber
land oouuty, from the assessments on
their property as fixed by the hoard of
revision. The decisiou allows a re
duction of asßessmeut on the pioperty
of Edward Dugau,Anthony Donaloski,
M. J. Haile and Martin Sommerday
and leaves the other assessments the
same. The lirst move of the tax pay
ers to have the assessments reduoed
was made before the county ooinnris
aiouerß when they sat as a board of re
vision. The revision did not satisfy
them, and they appealed to the court
of oommon pleas. It is likely that the
matter will uow be appealed to the
Supreme Court.

The Bnildtng and Repair Commit
tee of the Suliool Board consisting of
Robert Adams, Jacob Fiedler, Mew
ton Pnriel and Jaoob Von Blohn and
aooompanied by Boroagh Superintend
ent Oordy made a tour of the sohool
buildings yesterday afternoou for the
purpose of determining the amount of
repairs that will be needed before the
buildings and grounds oan be putin
good shape for the ooming sohool
term.
It was found that with the excep
tion of the Third ward th» repairs
needed thia year are leßs extensive
thau for some years previous and will
require comparatively a small expend
iture of money. Iu the Third ward
much more will be required than ÜB
ual. Not a few of the rooms will need
calcimiuing, but the greatest problem
ia coufronted iu the cellar where wat
er has made its appearauce oozing up
from the ground which is of a very
springy nature. The water has al
ways been a source of annoyance at
that building iu the spring of the
year, but the present season due to
some unacoountable cause it has made
it's appearance in increased quanti
ties even at the preaeut time lying in
the ash pit at the furuaoe to ths depth
of nearly two feet.
The school board will aink a drain
