THIEVES BREAK INTOJARM HOOSE The farm house of Milo Reed above Boyd's Station was iuvaded by thieves Sunday night. They, howover, left ouly a slight trace behind and took no booty. Mr. Keed was spending the day at Berwiok. When evening arrived Mrs. Reed and tho tost of the household left for ohuroh, closing up the house in the usual manner. When they return ed they were confronted with unmis takable evideuce that thieves had gone through the house. Mr. Reed and his family,howover,like wise people make it a practioo to keep as little as possi ble about the house that thieves might covet. Eveu the safe, although gen erally looked, oontains nothing more valuable than books and papers. It could not be ascertained that any ar ticles were missing beyond soine eat ables in the oellar. The burglars evidently otfected an entrance through one of the windows, in whioh a fly screeu was inserted and the shutters of which were bowed and fastened iu that position. On return ing from churoh Mrs. Reed found the fastening with whioh the shutters were seoored broken aud the shutters themselves wide open, while the fly screen stood edgewise iu the window. Ground was also found about the floor where it had dropped from the shoes of the thieves. The safe, whioh all seem sore was closed whon they left the house, wu found open, although its contents not being of a sort to tempt burglars were undisturbed. In the oellar were found also evidences that thieves had been on the premises. The affair following closely ou tho heels of the daring hold-up in Pine Swamp Hollow, Thursday, has caused a great deal of anxiety among tho farmers on tho South side of the river, as no one knows at what point tho robbers may operate uext. It is safe to say that Mr. Reed's house will he impregnable hereafter and that all over that section the farmors will bo on the alert. Some iu market yester day were heard to desoribo the prcoau tiou that they have employed. In most instances the family shot gun well loaded and kept handy is relied upon, while in not a few cases the mere effective revolver is just now kept within easy reach to proteot the house. FINDING OF BODY HAY DISCLOSE A MURDER From present indications, the find ing of the mangled body of an un known man near Lewistown, on the Peunsylvauia Railroad tracks, Monday morning, wilt result in a murder son satiou. The man had apparently boon run down by a passenger train, and had been dragged a mile. Along tfrie tracks iu the ditch, 200 yards from where the body had been first struck, was found a pool of blood aud a blood soaked handkerchief, club with blood marks ou it, and ovidence in the ciudors of a scuflle. Although the trail oould not bo traced, it is thought the tuau was murdered aud thrown in front of au east houud pass euger train to hido the evidenoe of the orimo. ■T. O. liarshbarger, a track walker, identified the remains as being those of a man to whom lie was talking at midnight at Horniugford Station. Ho saya the stranger was in company with another man and that both were slight ly under the influence of liqnor, and spoke of being en route to some nur2- boron Fifth street, Reading, Pa. Tlio dead limn was of medium build and height, smooth of faoe.wilh black hair and eyes, and was dressed iu a blue sergo suit, percale shirt and pat ent leather shoes. Everything on hiß poison was neat and oleau, and he had the appearance of being a man of good oiroumatances. Although tlio lid of a jewelry box was found In liia pocket, and an Eagle button was on liia coat, the box and its contents were missing aud liia official receipt,without wliioh no Eagle travels, waa also missing. NEW JOURNAL WAS INSTALLED The uew journal to tako the placo of the one accidentally linrnod out at the eleotrio light plant waa completed by Carry & Company yesterday afternoon and at once installed iu its plaoe. In order to insure that itfilfed the bill in every respect the plant was started up and run for two houia. Nothing 03- curred to iudioate any defect. Accordingly the plant WHB started up last evening anil we had electrio light during the night,wliioh was most highly appreciated imlood after the trying experience of the oouple of nights preoeding, when the streets were without a jay of light anil it waa next to Impossible without the aid of a lantern to find one's way anywhere about town. It is unfortunate that the ■nißhap should liavo occurred just at a time when there is no moon iu the sky. The accident illustratea tlio necessity of having two dynamos so that when anything happens one of tliem the oth er oan be thrown on and the liglfts kept burning. It is not improbable that another dynamo will he installed by aud by. To leave the town iu total darkness might prove a serious tiling under some circumstances. Resolutions.

THE FIRST DAY J SCHOOL The public schools of the Borough Monday afternoon opoued 'with 1145 pupils enrolled, which is oonsidorod very nearly normal. In the High School there are 147 puplis. In the four grammar schools the following numbers aro enrolled : First Ward, 40; Second Ward, 84; Third Ward, 25; Fourth Ward, 19. In all the lower grades the rooms were well filled Borough Superintendent Oordy lust ovening stated that there are still pu pils to oome In. Home of these are absent under the mistakon idea that their presenoe will not oount during the first few days of sohool, when the time is largely devoted to outlining the work and imparting of the pupils as definite an idea as possible to what is to bo douo and what methods are to be employed during the term. Thoso pupils who miss this essential part of the instruction will find later on that they are laboring under a serious handicap, the effect of whioh will be apparent in the geueral result. The pupil, therefore, who desires to make a good showing during the term had better get Into sohool without the loss of a single additional day. At the olo»e of yesterday's session Borough Superintendent Gordy held a teachers' meeting in the First Ward Grammar school room. The teachers after their vaoation have gone back to their tasks invigorated and full of hope. In the group were seme strango faces; for in addition to theprinoipal ship of the High Sohool filled by Prof essor Taylor there were three other vacanoies which are tilled as follows: Third Ward Grammar school, Prof essor J. H. Sha^(; Second grade, First Ward.Uiss Bertha Miller; Welsh Hill, Miss Alice Smull. Professor Shaw, who last year was prinoipal of the Nescopeck schools, comes to Danville vory highly reooinmendod. That he is a teacher of experience, well equipped for his work is already quite mani fest. He will undoubtedly succeed in his new field. hands Severely Burned.

FRENCH PRAISE THE PRESIDENT PARIS,Aug. 30.—The French news papers thi/ morning devote lengthy and eulogistic editorials to President Roosevelt. Tho President is the hero of the hoar—indeed little mention is made of Emporor Nicholas. The " Matin" says : "Roosevelt is tho great victor. He forued the belligerents who wore strangling ono andflier to moot on neutral grounds with the same tran quility that he displayed on the eve of the battle at the head of his Rough Riders. Ha tackled the respective delegates of the belligerent parties, faoing Japan cupidity and Russian in fatuation, with the same disdain for diplomatic usages as whon he was charging the trenohes with his slouch hat on the ground and a white hand kerchief around his neck. He is the great victor of this battle of giants." The "Petit Journal" says: "All honor is due to President Roosevelt. As the promoter of this conference, lie is a benefactor to humanity." The "Petit Parisian" says:"The result is due to one man, President Roosevelt. The Russians and Japanese and the whole world owe a debt of gratitude to him." The "Figaro" sayH:' "Japan has shown moderation iu tier lioor rt vic tory. Klin understood that a peace which humiliates oauaot be » laating peaoe.'' Oil Bias says:"The Russians were beaten unceasingly anil eould not con tinae the war. Peace had to bo sign eil and President Room) voir hastened its conclusion " A Pointer for School Boys. An exchange givos boys tlie follow ing tip: A home that is a fast walker doea not have to trot ao ninoii. Did our boys ever notioo that ? Well, it ia much the same with boya. A hoy who walks right op to and with his work —keeps abreast with his duties, lias a much more pleasant time than the boy who is always lagging to the rear. A hoy most in some shape or other, do his share, and if he persists in poking along whenevor the eye of the in structor is on something else, he most be made to trot to catch with the fast, even walker who finds his work easy and pleasant beoauso ho never al lows it to get ahead of him. Take a lot of hoys together and the fellow who trios to do tlio least has much the hardest time of any. The hoy who has the easiest time is the one who peels off his ooat and ataita right in with the determination of doing well and promptly the work that ia assigned to him to do. C. E. Vori»' Painful Injury. Charles E. VoriH, pattern maker em ployed at Carry & Company'H plant, met with a painful injury while at work [Friday morning. t He wan em ployed at the lathe on a pieqe of wood consisting of soveral parts (fined to gether; under tho pressure the differ ent seotions Hew apart, two or moro of them striking Mr. Voris. The worst blow was sustained just above the left eye, a deep gash being produced. A painful bruise was also sustained in the neck and on one of the limbs. Mr. Voris was badly da/.ed for awhile but ho was able Anally to make his way down town whore he reoeived suigiOHl attention from Dr. O. Shntlz. Two stitches were lusoted in the gash above the eye. 23 Years Ago. From an old Berwick Independent published 28 years ago is found the following: Jairßs Chamberlain and William Frantz caught a "salmon in the river last Tuesday night which measured thirty-two inches in length aud weighed ton and a hall' pounds dressed. Fish of that size are not tak en from the Susquehanna these days. , IMPRESSIVE CERMONIEB Exceedingly impressive ceremonies over the mortal remains of the late Rev. Amos S. Raid win, presiding eld er of the Danville District of the M. E. church, were held in St. John's M. E. church. Sunbury, Monday morn ing at oleven o'clock. Fully a hundred visiting ministers holding charges in tho distinct over whioh Rev. Baldwin presided,were in attendance to pay their iasc sad trib utes of respect and honor to all that was earthly of a man who had through his loving sympathy, kind and loyal disposition, intogrity of purpose, and unfaltering zeal in tho prosecution of his labors, won confidence apd esteem or his fellow-laborers in the great work of the church and hu manity. Tears wore prevaleut all over the audience as,in glowing words of trib ute and praise,t he speakers enumerat ed the good works and grand results of the life of this man of God. His was a life worthy of emulation, for, the influence of that lifo will live ou and on, resulting in untold and in estimable good. His works will fol low him. Rev. H. S. Wilcox read tho first Soripturo lesson and Rev. H. O. Par doe the second. Prayer was then otter ed by Rev. H. Fi. Jacobs. Following this addresses, eulogizing the depait ed, were deliverod by Revs. Emory Stevens, B. Evans, Thomas Wilcox, George W. Stevens, (p. W. Hartzell, J. W. Rue. R. H. Gilbert, and W. I). Evoland. "Impossible" Port Arthur. Less than a year ago a fair.ouH mil itary expert said : "It takes 111011 drunk with victoiy aud strong and ancient might to daro tho risk of taking Port Arthor; human energy and prowess cannot force it; only madmen would attempt it." What prompted such a positive dic tum from such an anthoritativo source may he realized from the only authen tic reproduction in existence of the great battle-field to he exhibited hy Lyman H. Howe in Trinity M. K church 011 Thursday evening, August 81st. ■ This series of moving pictures in Mr. Howo's new program cannot fail to Inspire true sensations of the ele mental contest at the apex of the world, where two civilizations were in life and death throes—sensations and impressions that nothing short of these graphic, sweeping nnimatod srenos alono can afford. They begin where all mere description c uds. Here is a great army from a warlike nation equippoi for scientific fighting and officered by men trained in the world's best schools; twenty thousand men driven in a hole; 111011 of the same blood that defeatod Napoleon, stub bornly contested Sebastopol, and at appalling loss of life reduced tile mar velous Blevna. Pitted against them is an entirely now world power, an other army little known and less hon ored. They are engaged in a mighty struggle on the grandest battle-field the world has ever seen. Only ton neutrals had the hardihood and pluck to risk their lives daily to record for history this immemorial confliot. Only ton ueutrals aro accord ed tho privilege by tho Japanese Gov orniuout to do so. Only 0110 of these ten secured an enduring history of it in moving pictures, ami this one was the personal representative of Lyman H. Howe. Through special facilities exteudod him because of his indomit able zeal and personal bravery,by Hur on General Nogi, he has secured for Mr. Howe the only absolutely authen tic reproduction of moving pictures direct from the firing lines of Port Arthur. Mr. Howe will neither sill nor loase them to any oxhibitor or theatre in America. Tlioy can bo seen at his own exhibitions exclusively and form but one of many equally interest ing scones of world-wido interest in the new program. Trash Cans Little Used. It would seem at times that people are docidodly careless about the ap pearance of Mill street, not withstand* ing that Council has gone to so much expense and pains to keep the pave ment clean and presentable. The aid) cans, intended to be a ro oeptaclo for papors as well as trash ol every other sort, last spring were dis tributed at convenient intervals all along the street with hope that people would uso thorn. For a little while it seemed that they were put to the propor use hut by and by people seemed to forget I what was expected of thciu and now ! tho street often looks about as bad as it did before the cans wero installed. Hanana peels aro found lying on tho pavement exposing persons to danger of falling, while on windy days news papers and wrapping paper, dirty and unsightly in appearance, may be seen ciroliug about at almost any point. It might bo well to remind persons who are negligent in this respect that they aro violating the law enacted and approved last wiuter, which provides a penalty for just suoli offenses as throwing papers or rubbish of any sort upon the streets. Party at Grovania. A party of young people from this city woro pleasantly entortalned Sat urday evening at the home of James Loo, near Grovania. A watermelon contest was the foaturo of tho evouing —-Ambroßo Prentiss and John Jonos winning the prizes.

Newhakor. of this city, has been promoted to the posi tion of Superintendent of the Honey brook Division of tho Lehigh Wilkes- Barre Coal Company's collieries. He was formerly Chief Division Engineer of the above Company. PEACH CROP LARGEST IN YEARS The curbstone market last Saturday brought out an enormous quantity of poaches. Several well known growers weie interviewed and they all agree that there is au euormous crop of peaches, the largest for some five or | six years past. There will be plenty of peaeiies, therefore, for everybody, but just what prioes may prevail is not so certain. The fruit is divided into three grades—large, medium and small. To these may be added the culls, which are frequently sold in small boxes aud aro by no means to be doxpised either as a luxury or a source of profit. The large peaches sell at 75 cents per bas ket, the medium at tts cents aud the Hinall at 40 cents. The culls sell at tho rate of 10 conts per half a neck. Poaches are just now being shoved on the market in ouormous quantities the high water marl will probably be reached this week, although thore will be peaches iu market until Octo ber. Tho crop, however, now is at its best and the fruit is more delicious tliau it will be later on. Tho heaviest domaud for peachos is just now on. Should the latter not prove heavy enough to absorb the supply the price will fall; should the opposite bo the case the price will remaiu as at pres ent. The result will be watched with some interest during the next weok or so. The prices as quoted above are for half bushel baskets. In this connec tion it is worth noting that the pros pective purchaser iu pricing praohes should know what kind of baskets are used. Thore seems to bo no law on the subject and baskets vary much in size, designated as 8 quart, 10 quart aud 12 quart baskets in addition to the full half a bushel basket. Purchasers should insist upon the full half bushel or consent only to prices low in pro portion. Among the leading peach growers who are disposing of their crop at our curbstone market aro : H. L. DeWitt, of Walnutdalo; William Metier, near Klinesgrove ; John Hendricks, Hush town ; the Purdy larm.Kush township, tenanted by William Hyan.*There are good crops elsewhero, for every trse th is'year seems to bear and there is scarcely a farm, but lias more or less poaches to sell. Large growers like Dr. S. Y. Thomp son and others sold out their entire crops to dealers from a distance who canvassed this fcction some weeks ago otToring one dollar per bushel in tho orchard Theso large growers were wise, as they get rid of their big crop of poaches without any trouble at a good profit whereas had they thrown them on the local market thore would have been a glut that would have lod to waste and prices that would have been a poor return, indeod, for the risk and labor involved. Tri.County Picnic on Saturday. During this weok the farmers will renew their preparations for tho Tri Oounty picnic, which, postponed from the 12th inst.,will be held in DoWitt's Park on Saturday next. The big pic nic is being talked of on every side and indications all poinc to a great outpouring of people from Montour county, a large portion of (Jolumbia aud from the townships of Kusli, Gear bar t, Point and Chillisquaquo in North umberland county. Hon. William T. Creasy along with other eloquent speakers familiar with the topics of the farm will address the farmers. Nothing will be omitted in the arrangements needed to insure a good and profitable time. It will be a picnic. Elmer E.

EAST MARKET STREET FAVEIENT Then; are uuermous inquiries HK to tho status of street paving on East Market Htreet,wliioh »omo two or three weeks ago was set down AH an assured tiling. Up to the present no petition lias been presented to Council, nor does it seem that any thing whatever is being done to get ready for the work. Careful inquiry has brought out facts which seem to make it doubtful whether East Market street will be paved—at least this summer. In the first plaoe there is an orgamzed op position against paving the street aud a counter petition'has heeu oiroulated. Just how many signers it lias is not kuown* as neither of the petitions has as yet been presented to Oonnoil. Those in favor of paving insist that at the present time thore are enough signers to carry tho proposition through. At the same time it was ioarned from a reliable sonroe yester day that complications of a rather troublesome nature relating to the cost of the work have arisen which ig bound to cause considerable dolqy. The same authority admitted that things at present do not look favor able for paving the street. Time is passiug rapidly. Even though all difficulties were to be speedily and satisfactorily adjusted it is doubtful whether the work could be got under way before late in Septem ber and the period intervening be tween that and winter wonld bo en tirely too short to complete the pave ment. It is pretty safo to conclude therefore that East Market stroet will not be paved this veai. Vacancies Perplex Officials. Tho death of Rev. Amos S. Bald win, Presiding Elder of the Danville Distriot, and tho election of Or. W. P. Evoland, pastor of the First M. E. church, of Rloomsburg.as President of the Williainsport Dickinson Seminary, have caused two vacancies which aro giving the church authorities much concern. Just how tlioy will bo filled is not yet known. A number of the leaders feel that- the Rloomshurg vac ancy and the presiding eldership should be supplied by substitutes until tho conference next spring They argue that if one change is made a number are likely to follow, and all will be among the most important ohurclies in the conference. Bishop Talbot's Daughter to Wed Rt. Rev. Ethelbert Talbot, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Central Penn sylvania, has announced the engage ment of his daughter, Annie,to Francis Donaldson, of Pittsburg.

PRESIDING ELDER BALDWIN" DEAD Reverend Amos Smith HHldwin, Presiding Elder of tlie Danville Dig trict of the Methodist Kpisuopal church, diod at his home in Sunbury, on Friday morning at half-past eight o'olook. Death was dne to oancer. Reverend Baldwin hail been failing in health for a poiiod covering over two years lint his condition did not become alarm ing until May. Dating from that period, he grew slowly, bat steadily, worse, in spite of medical skill and careful nursing, until death ended his earthly oareer. Rev. Raid win was horn in Fulton county, Pennsylvania, anil was 51 years of age. He prepared for the ministry at the Dickinson Seminary, Williainsport, Pa., and took his tirst charge in the year 1876. Hy olose ap plication and an undivided iuteret in his ohosou life's work, he rapidly rose to the position of Presiding HHiler. ' Provious to coming to Huuhury, hu was the Presiding Klder of (he Jnniata District, changing places with the Rev. Dr. Evans, abont a year and a lutlf ago. Although his stay in Sanhury was marked by the fatal ailment which prevented him from coming into a closer contact with the people ill his district, he was held in the highest esteem. Ry his death the oliurch loses one of its most ardent workers and the world sustains the loss of oue of its best citizens. The grandest eulogy that can he written is that "Ho was a good man." A widow and three children survive to mourn his death : Miss Mary, locat ed at Tyrone; Miss Amy, who resides at home, and Ueorge.of Philadelphia. Tho funeral services will be held in S l . John's Methodist oliurch, in Sun bury, Monday morning at eloven o'clock. lutorment will take place at Newton Hamilton, Pa. .Tuesday after noon at two o'clock. BELIEVE CASH IS FACTORf TREATY PORTSMOUTH, N. H . Aug. 80.— There is a growing suspicion that Rus sia has agreed to pay to Japan a sum of money in lien of a cash indemnity. Upon what it is based or how largo the amount cannot of courso be learn ed. Thoro was a very significant featore of yosterday's conference of tho en voys that has almost been lost sight of. It was the dismissal of the secre taries during certain deliberations ov er some of tho Japanese demands which had boon left Open from a previous meeting. Why this secrecy should have been maintained if it was a olear case o the delivery of an ultimatum and its acceptance is a mystery incapable of solution at this time. It is uudorstood that the envoys deliberated iu the strictest privacy for over an hour. Another ffuspicious feature is the smoothness with which the negotia tions were conducted on a question whioh has been the stumbling block since the first meeting, namely that of indemnity. From the most accurate roports it appears that M. Witte laid down an ultimatum whioh was ac cepted promptly, by the Japanese en voys. This may have been duo to the fact that tho Japaneso had become thor oughly convinced that further parley o% this dispute demand would be futile. The Japaneso envoys- yestorday en tored into a traffic arrangemont with tho Russians whereby direct connec tions will be established between the Chinese Eastern railway which is uow Japanese property and the Siberian Manchuriau railroad, whioh belongs to Russia in order to provide through transportation for freight and pass ongers. It hardly seems possible that any in demnity could be uonooaltftl in that ar rangement but it must bo remomborert that equal treatment of Russia on the eastern Chinese railway would prove a valuable concession for whioh it is not improbable that Rusisa would be willing to pay handsomely. The ori ental mind is a crafty ono. Then again tho exact details relative to the un derstanding readied on tho rail road demand is being hedged about witii more or loss secrecy. It is hardly probable that snoh an arrangement will be written into the treaty but it is quite possible, in the opinion of some observers, that at a future dato it may bo found that Japan is obtaining from Russia financial ad vantages which while of groat value have not been disclosed at tins con ference. Fast Run to Sunbury. The fastest run evor mado on the S. 11. <& W. branch of the Ponnsy was accomplished Saturday hetweon South Danville and Sunburv by tho noon passenger train with Thomas Attig, the well-known ongiueor.at the throt tle. The train due to arrive at South D.inv'llo at 12:10 was twenty-nine minutes late, whioh was a serious cir cumstance as thoro wore on board two passengers who wanted to take the Buffalo flyer at Sunbury. The usual time between South Danville and Sun bury is twenty minutes hot in order to connect with the flyor on Saturday it would bo necessary to make tho dis tance in about one-half of that time. This then was the task that Engi neer Attig started out to accomplish. Some of our tow lspeople along with Chief Burgess W. T. Shepporson of Riverside, who were on hoard were unprepared for tho rate of speed at whioh thoy wore yanked along over the rails. Thoy were not surprised later ou loaruing that the distance be tween the South Danville Station and tho DY. tower at Snubury, eleven miles, was covered in just eleven min utes. The train connected with the flyer all right. Miss Grace Haupt and Miss Harriet Orscer, of Sunbnry, spent Saturday in this city, as tho guests of Miss Rolla Adams, Front street.

The potatoes yielded by a single hill aro fewer in number than for some years past; neither are they large in size. This • boars out tho prediction made a month or so ago when the vines showed signs of dying prema turoly and a blight was afTeoting the fields. All the other crops of the farm, huwevor, with the singlo exception of apples, promise a luxuriant yield and tho season on the whole promises to be one in which the farmer will do well. The apple orop according to all ac counts will be a miserable failure. A well known farmer yesterday stated that so tar as he had observed through jut Montour county the apple* will b much less than half a crop—probably loss than a quartrr of a yield.
