FARMERS' PICNIC
POSTPONED
The disagreeable weather oouditious
o( a week paat on Saturday culminat
ed ID an atmosphere of aaoh remark
able humidity as to make pliyaloal
comfort out of the question even for
those who were wholly at leiaare.
The day began with rain and rain fell
at intervals daring the day, the aun
wliioh shone occasionally only oontri
botiug to tbe general discomfort by
adding heat to the linmidity.
Sncli was the day on which wan to
ocour the widely advertised Farmers'
Trl Oonnty picnic at DeWilt's Park.
The rain whloli oontiuned to fall op
to nearly ten o'olook seemed to plaoo
a pionlo oat of Uie question. By that
time the park was saturated with
water and aoaording to indications
there was plenty more to oome
down.
A Urge portion of the farming oom
uiouity about Danville wax represent
ed iu the ourbHtoue markot, and to
these farmers It was deoided by the
Oommlttee it should be left to settle
whether the pionlo should be called
off or not. The farmers were oouault
ed from one end of market to another
and it was found that with two ex
ceptions every one was in favor of
oalllug the affair off and of seleotiug
another date.
Tlila mesas re wan aooordlugly adopt
ed It waj announced that there
would be no attempt to hold a plonio
on that day, bat that the event would
be held ou Saturday, September and.
This, it was thought, settled it, but
abont the middle of the afternoou
news reaohed Danville that several
hundred farmers had assembled at the
Park and were having a Rood time. As
was natural the news of the postponn
ineut bad not been heard over more
than * mere fraotion of the big terri
tory represented. The farmers simply
nsed their judgment in the matter and
when it brightened up during the
foreuoon some deoiiled to take the risk
and started for the piouio.
Among those who gathered at the
Paik were some who had driven many
miles. They ate their dluuer in the
woo ls and had as good a I line as pos
sible under the droumstauces. Dur
ing the showers they crowded in
the pavilion. About 3 n'olock the or
ohestra weut over in response to a re
quest and some danolug followed.
To say that the plonio bpre any
seiublanoe to snooess, however, would
be to overstate the faot and there wore
probably naue preseut but ooluolded
Willi the Committee that the plonio
onglit to be repeated. This, then was
the unanimous agreement and the an
uouuoment was made that the piomo
will be repeated on Saturday, Septem
ber and at DeWitt's Haik.
Judging by the enthusiasm and the
large number that tinned out in the
face of the unfavorable weather con
ditions It is believed that had the day
been fair the assemblage of people at
DeWitt's Park would have broken all
past reoords.
Freight Wreck at Catawlssa.
Through freight, No. 83, with
Tamaqua crew, passing through Cata
wlssa at 8 :!I0 o'olock, Friday night
was lu a oolllslon at Main street cross
lug at Oatawlssa, which,easily, migii
have euded much more seriously than
it did, ■ oar filled with powder belug
next to the oar struck by the engine.
Each night the enigue gets ooal and
water at Uatawlssa, and usually the
engine is out from the triln on the
other side of the oroek bridge but ou
Friday night It was not until Main
street orossiug was readied that the
tiaiu was out.
Forgetting that the train was left, at
■n unusual plaoe, the anigncer started
the engine at a high rato of speed
down the traok,after scouring coal and
water, aud a oolllslon lesulted.
The engine hit the train with sooli
foioe that the report aroused the oltl
sens of that seotlon, who flocked to
the Bcene. The tank of the engine was
badly damaged and ooal from the oar
that was struck was hurled into the
■troet, with piecos of wood from the
car.
Iu the very next car was the powder,
•nd the reasou assigueil tor its failing
to explode Is the aare with which It
had been packed.
The engine was taken to the Cata
wlssa shops, where it will be repair
ed.
Auother engine was secured and
traffic was delayed only about fifteen
mlnutee.

DROWNED IN
SUSQUEHANNA
Charles K. Gibbons, a well known
resident'of this olty, met his death hy
drowniug in the Susquehanna a short
distance below Catawlssa. The facta
as far aa brought to light Indioate that
the dreadfnl affair ooourred on Friday
night. The body was diaoovered Sun
day atanding upright In the river
with the legs imbedded deep in the
mud.
The drowned man was one of work
men employed on the Borough Sowers.
He was a willing,ablebodled workman
useful at mauy different kinda of em
ployment and waa very popular. Af
ter the completion of the sewer lie
was given employment on some re
polrs at the Water Works.
Ou Thursday evening Gibbons and
anothor workman named Oliver Wertz
applied for permission to be absent on
Friday. They explained that they
knew of some valuable drift wood up
the stream, whloh they desired to ob
tain. Their request waa granted aud
on Friday aooordingly the two men
did not report for work, but instead
took a boat and weut up the stream.
Friday night they did not return.
This nuder the olrcumatanoes did not
oocaaion any eapeoial solicitude among
their friends.
A boat 3 o'olook Saturday afternoon
Wertz made Ills appearance in town
and began to make ioqoiries concern
ing Qibbons and seemed very maoli
surprised when he learned that he had
not turned op in Dauville. He oalled
at Qibbons' home and his inquiries an
to her hnsband were the first uauso
that Mrs. Qibbons had for any anxiety.
Wertz gave the following explana
tion as to Qibbons' disappearance:
They were bringing a raft down the
river, lie said; Wertz himself was in
charge of the boat and dtlftwood,Qib
bons walking along shore. Between 8
and 9 o'olook at a point aboat a mile
this side of Catawissa, where the lank
is located, the raft parted and while
Wertz was trying to repair the dam
age the boat oapsized. He told his
companion to walk on along the shoro
and that he himself would take care
of the upturned boat and the wood un
til shallow water was reaolied a little
farther on when he woald right the
boat and oonneot the parted raft.
When shallow water was reaolied
Qibbons failed to pat in an appear
anoe. After waitiug awhile Wertz
went back to the spot where the boat
naa capsizoa aim mere no IUUIIH uiu
bona' dog lying on shore bnt no tmoe
of Qibbons. He did not know what
to think of this at first, bat finally
oonoladed that the mau had jumped a
passing freight train and gone tn Dan
ville.
Hit) first moment of real appreheu-
Hl vcmriKH seemod to be when lie learn
od that Gibbons was not in Danville.
His fear was soon shared by oth
ers and when Saturday night cntun on
and there was still no tidings from the
missing man solioitade gave way to a
settled oonvictiou that some dreadful
fate had overtaken him.
His wife and othor relatives eudured
a sleepless night and early Sunday
morning a large party of searohers
started np the river. Some distance
above town they met the fragments of
the raft desoribod by Wertz floating
down stream. At the very point des
ignated by Woitz as the spot where
the boat had npset and where the two
men had last exohanged words the
dead body was found.
The gruesome disoovery was made
by Edward and Samnel Sainsbary. A
short distance from shore the man's
head was seon slightly protruding
above the water. Tho body was in a
standing position. The mau wore
heavy robber boots and his legs had
sunk into the soft mad. Decomposi
tion had far advanoed. The iuferouoe
would seem to be in view of Ur.
Wertz's story that tho deceased instead
of following Wertz's dlieotious and
walking down the shore undertook to
wade oat into the stream to render as
sistance. His heavy boots helped to
bear him down and he got fast in the
mad. His oompanion had passed the
spot; there was no other help an d
death by drowning was the resnlt.
Dr. Sharpless, ooroner.of Oatawissa,
summoned a Jury consisting of Charles
E. Raudali, John Oberdorf, Warren
Sharpless, Henry Qehringer, Jesse
Oberdorf and Clarence Clemming. Af
ter hearing all the facts the jury ar
rived at the vordiot that death was
due to accidental drowning.
The deoeased was forty-four years
of age. He is survived by a wife. He
Is a brother of John Qibbons.the East
Market street barber.
Sojourning at Hunter's Park.
Several families of town are occupy
ing cottages at Hunter's Park at pres
ent and are having a very enjoyable
time. Among those who have already
moved oat are Dr. T. B. Wtntersteen
and wife, Sam A. MoOoy and wife.
Captain J. H. Johnson and wife,
Charles Hauver and wife and Mrs
John Kramer. Mr. and Mrs Hunter
are also living at the park. There is
bat one oottage vacant.
The most of the above people have
spent their summers or a portion of
them, at the park for several years
past. They form a congenial little
oommunity. and not only flml life
among the pine trees pleasant as an
outing, but are muoh benefitted physi
cally by the oontaot with nature.

In a short, snappy game, Sunbuiy,
the Champions of llio Susquehanna

team at DeWitt's Park Tuesday af
ternoon.
MoOloud again proved his ability to
puzzle hitlers of a high class and with
perfect control allowed the pennant
winners only six safe singles. As an
other feature ho issnud not a single
pass to first and the visitors outfield
secured but one put out which Is a
remarkable performance at any time,
but much more so when accomplished
against a team aekuowlodgod to be the
fastest team in thiN section. Tho locals
were unable to gauge Towiistnd's de
livery to any great extent, and on ac
count of the perfeot fielding of the
visitors were compelled to earn tho
only run they sooured on Clayborger's
two bagger followed by Rosa' long hit
to left field. Koss' play at third was
again the gilt edge article.
Several times the locals had a chance
to score had the ueoessary hit materi

A Souvenir of Interest.
A largo photograph, 18x90 inches, of
the first trolloy car opoiated on the
Danvillo and. Sunbury stroet Railway
is an attraction in the window of K.
J. Evans' harbor shop in the Brown
building. Tlio big photograph, whloh
is the property of W. A. Holler, was
enlarged from a photograph taken by
Will Q. Brown at the ontranco to the
river bridge, when the first car which
passed over the line reaolied that point
on July 3rd.
The original picture was a fine ploon
of amateur work, but it was not lirge
enough to briug out all the details
with foil effect. The enlarged picluro
however, has accomplished all, an I
every.objeot and overy face seems real
and life-like. As a production ol art
it is remarkable in its way and is a
souvenir whoso value will Increase as
time wears on.

WILL TRANSPLANT
ANOTHER TREE
It seems doubtful whether the efforts
of those who signed tho petition last
week supplemented with tho communi
cation from the State Department of
Forestry priutod yesterday will be
potent enough to dissuade the Count*
Commissioners from removing tho
trees along West Market street to mate
room for tho concrete pavement.
The Commissioners are keeping their
own counsel iu the matter bnt things
have advancod far onough to show
that there is no disposition tu change
plans. Contractor Evans acting under
instruotious has alroady begun ex
cavating for the West Market street
pavement. An assault on the trees was
held of aa long as possible, but yester
day the roots of tho tree noarost Mill
street, ou one side wero wholly out
away by tho workmen so that all ef
forts to save the trco from now on will
be futile.
The troe transplanted last week un
der tho anporvision of Emanuel Sldler
is fresh aud vigorous-looking notwith
standing that the transplanting took
plaoo under the most unfavorable con
ditions. Coutrary to expectations the
tree has shown no signs of drooping
aud that it will ooutinuo to grow and
flonrlsh seems a practically assured
faot.
Enoonraged hy tlielr suocees In the
one instance the County Commission
ers, It is said, will transplant one of
tiie remaining trees, placing it at the
lowor end of the row on the Coart
Honse lawn where a vacant spot oc
cnrs. This will also be done under the
supervision of Emanuel Sidler, who
seems to possess tiie secret of sncoess
in transplanting trees. In this way
the Commissioners hope to compensate
the temoval of the trees on the curb,
providing, witli the troes on the op
posite side of the street, ample shade
on the spot.

Now Running on Schedule Time.
One of onr exchanges diaougses the
advisability of pntting mirrors In trol
ley oars. The experiment was tried
reoeutly and every woman that enter
ed the oar and got up to get off had to
stand a moment and adjust her hat
and fix her oollar and otherwise ar
range her toilet. It was disoovered by
the management that oars with the
mirrors In were always from fifteen
to twenty minutes late, while those
that were not provided with looking
glasses were usually on time. They
have been removed, and everything is
rnnnlng on sohednle time again.
