The case of Commonwealth vs.
Francis Woll, receiving stolen goods,
was coutinued.
A true bill was found in the case of
Commonwealth vs. David Magill. The
charge against Magill is felonious as
sault and battery. The defendant has
been a fugitive from justice since last
winter when he figured in au affray,
in which William Lake was stabbed,
the latter bandy oscapiug with his
life. Although there are no immediate
prospects of apprehending Magill, the
District Attorney deemed it advisable
to secure an indictment.
In the case of Commonwealth vs.
Thomas Sheppard, the Grand Jury al
so returned a true bill.
At 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon
the Grand Jurors were discharged.
W. R. miler General Hanager.
At a meeting of the Directors of the
Danvillo aud Bloomsburg Street Rail
way Company held in this city Mon
day, William R. Millor was elected
general mauager.
Mr. Miller as Suiierinteudent took
charge of the Danville ami Bloomsburg
line early in July last. As Superin
tendent his services were most effici
ent. The cars have been running like
olock-work, there lias been no friction
of any sort in the management and the
road has yielded a good profit.
That such a showing is most gratify
ing to the stock holders and board of
directors goes without saying and Mr.
Miller's reward came in the form of a
substantial promotion, which elevated
him from Sujierinteudeut to General
Mauager.
Mr. Miller is a gentleman of flue so
cial qualities, aud by his natural
courtesy aud generous traits of char
acter has endeared himself to our citi
zens who will unite with the News in
congratulating him on his advance
ment.
Scranton Loses Shops.
SCRANTON, Pa., Jau. 10.—The
Lackawanna passenger repair shops,<>u
South Washington avenue, will bo
movod in a few weeks to Kingsland,
N. J. ,whoro the mammoth shops of the
road for building nnd repairing pass
enger coaches are now rapidly Hear

If the Sullivan county authorities
would employ a detective instead of
offering a comparatively small reward
there might be some chance of the
Whitmire murder mystery being solv

LAWFUL TO FISH
THROUGH ICE
Now that the streams in this section
are being frozen up, the question of
fishing through the ice is once more
attracting attention. This is a matter
that a great many do not rightly un
derstand. Suckors and mullets are
quite plentiful in the Fishing creek
and many peoplo up that valley have
been wondering the last few day if it
would be lawful to catch those fish
through tho ice with a hook anil line.
H. G. Ksholmau, the fish and game
warden for this section, stated yestor
day that suckers and mullets are not
embraced by the game laws, and that
it is perfectly lawful to catch them
through the ice. While fishing for
these, however, should a game fish be
taken on the line, it must be returned
at once, or tho fisherman is liable to a
fine.
Last winter a case was tried in which
prosecution was attempted for taking
suckers or mullets from the water witli
a hook, but the man WHS immediately
discharged and the matter dropped, as
there was no law against such a mode
of capturing these fish.
The fact that there is ice on the
water in no way changes the law re
lating to the capture of fish.
Installation ol Officers.
The installation of officers took
place last night at Montour Castlo, No.
186, Knights of the Oolden Eagle. The

SCHOOL DIRECTORS'
County Superintendent C. W. Den
was in Danville yesterday. He littd a
conference with Borough Superintend
ent U. L. Gordy and the date of Jan
uary 80th was decided upon as the
time for the annual meeting of the
School Directors' Association of Mon
tour county. The session will be held
in Danville, although the two Super
intendents yesterday were unable to
state in what building the directors
will meet. At present Messrs. Derr
and Gordy have their eye on the Court
House and the matter will be laid be
fore the County Commissioners at the
earliest opportunity.
The School Directors' Association
takes in all the directors of the couu
ty, who under the present law will re
' celve two dollars for their attendance
' at the meeting and mileage at the rate
' of S cents per milo.
I The attendance will no doubt be all
that could be desired aud nothing will
ibe left undone by the two Superin
tendents that would contribute to the
success aud importance of the meeting.
They are trying very hard to secure
the attendance of State Superintendent
of Publio Instruction N. C. Sohaeffer.
The program for the meeting will not
be announced until the State Superin
tendent is heard from finally as to
whether, lie oau be prosont or not.
All the details relative to the meet
ing will probably bo arranged yet dur
ing the present woek and the program
will be announced.
R. P. D. Suggestions.
The carrier on one of the Danville
Rural Free Delivery routes has com
piled the following set of suggestions
to the patrons of the delivery, an ob
servance of which will not only make
the carriers' work easier, but will also
greatly improve the service.
You will do the carrier a great
favor if you stamp your letters before
putting same in box or better yet by
usiug government stamped envelopes
with your namo written upon upper
loft hand corner this will guarantee
delivery or return of the letter.
In case you shonld not happen to
have either stamps or stamped en
velopes wrap the necessary amount up
in paper and fasten to letter in some
good manner remembering that in cold
weather if money is putin loose the
carrier lias to take off his gloves to
pick up the loose penuies.
11l addressing your letters do not
write above the middle of the envelope
because the letter has to be plainly
postmarked aud the address may be
partly blurred by beiug struck with
the pftst marking stamp.
You will also help the handling
of the mail by always putting the
stamp upon the upper right hand cor
ner.
In your addrossiug a letter to a
visitor or some ouo wlio is not a patron
of a rural route or Postoffice you will
IK) helping the service by marking on
the envelope in whose care the letter
or package should go.
If you have visitors who are expect
ing mail kindly give the carrier their
names by putting slip in box notifying
him of same.
In regards to boxes help your carrier
hy having a good one and in a good
easy place to drive up to and oil the
hinges and lock occasionally,also have
small hole in bottom to drain out
water.
Anything deposited in boxes is count
ed mail matter anil is subject to ordi
nary postage rates. All packages should
be well wrapped and securely tied and
valuable letters and packages should
be registered.
Patrons should not ask carrier to
wait while they write or finish a let
ter or postal. Have your mail deposit
ed in box when he reaches your box
and save delay.
Patrons should keep the roads open
in winter and snow shoveled away
from boxes. Mail carriors aro not re
quired to break roads.
Carriers wish to extend thanks to
patrons of routes for the kindness ex
tended to them during the holidays.
RURAL CARRIER.
Destructive Fire at Elysburg.
A part of the village of Elysburg
was threatened with destruction by
fire Monday morning. The quick and
offective work of a force of men who
formed themsolves into a bucket bri
gade saved many houses from being
destroyed.
Smoke was seen coming from the
second story of A. J. Persing's wheel
wright shop at 10:15. An alarm of fire
was quickly sounded and almost the
entire population of the village re
sponded. An investigation showed the
flames to be burning fiercely. It was
evident that the building could not be
saved.
Every effort was then directed to
wards preventing the flamos from
spreading. At first the tiro fighters
were hampered by having the only fire
wagon in the village break down when
thoy attempted to draw it to the lire.
A bucket brigade was formed and
valuable assistance rendered in this
tnauncr. The post office building which
adjoined the wheelwright shop caught
fire but the brave volunteer fire fight
ers succeeded in saving all the govern
ment mail as well as the large stock
of stationery which was handled in
connection with the post office.
The flamos threatened to spread to
Edward Cook's butcher shop and D.
H. DeShay's implement store and
foundry and were only prevented from
doing so by determined work on tho
part of the villagers.
The buildings containing the smithy
and post office were completely de
stroyed with a loss of about SBOO, be
ing partly covered with $250 insurance.
Succumbed to Diphtheria.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hancock have
been called upon to mourn the death
of tneir five-year-old daughter, Flor
ence, who succumbed to an attack of
diphtheria. The child was taken ill
on New Y.ear's Day and notwithstand
ing the best of oare and medical at
tmdance grew steadily worse,dying at
11 o'olook on Friday night.
Burial took place Saturday after
noon. Interment in Odd Fellows'
oemetery.

SUPPLEMENTAL
PROCLAMATION
Governor Pennypacker yesterday af
ternoon, issued a supplementary proc
lamation suggesting more legislation
for the coming session, to be embodied
in four bills. These will cover civil
service reform in State offices; a uni
form primary election measure ; a bill
relating to the expenditure of moneys
by candidates for nomination and elec
tion to office, and a bill relating to
the consolidation of contiguous cities,
this latter having already been cover
ed in the Governor's first proclama
tion, but again inserted to cover any
defect that may exist in the original
suggestion, new laws being passed un
der both suggestions for the consolida
tion of Pittsburg and Allegheny.
The proclamation is as follows-:
"Whereas, an extraordinary session
of the general assembly of the com
monwealth of Pennsylvania has been
called under authority of article 4, sec
tion 13, of the constitution, to meet in
the capitol at Harrißburg on Monday,
January 15,1906, at 2 o'clock p. m., of
that day.
"Now, therefore, I, Samuel W.
Pennypacker, governor of the com
monwealth of Pennsylvania,do hereby
designate the following additional sub
jects for the consideration of the gen
eral assembly, with a view to legisla
tion at the said session with respect to
them.
"First: To revise the laws in rela
tion to primary elections in such a way
to provide for the holding of the pri
mary elections of all political parties
within the commonwealth on the same
day, at the same time, under the sup
ervision of properly constituted offic
ers, and to make such changes in or
in addition to these laws as may seem
advisable.
"Second: To establish a civil ser
vice system, by means of which the
routine offices and employments of the
commonwealth may be filled by ap
pointments made after the ascertain
ment of qualifications and fitness, and
the incumbents of such offloe may re
tain them during good behavior.
"Third: To designate the uses to
which money may bo applied by can
didates, political managers and com
mittees in political campaigns or for
nominations and elections, to require
the managing committees and man
agers of all political parties to file
witli Bome designated official at the
close of each campaign a detailed state
ment in writing, accompauied by affi
davit, of the amounts collected and
the purposes for which they wore ex
pended.
'Fourth: To eualilo cities which
are now or may hereafter be contigu
ous or in close proximity, including
any intervening land, to he united in
one municipality, in order that the
people may avoid the unnecessary
burdens of maintaining separate muni
cipal governments.''
This fourth subject is a modification
of the first subject in the original call
and is added in order that legislation
may be enacted under either of them
as may lie deemed wise.
JANUARY COURT.
(Continued from page 1)
William Keefer was the first witness
for the defense ; lie was followed by
Mrs. Keefer, Nelson Houseknecht,
Phoebe Moser and some others, whoso
testimony sustained the allegations of
the defense.
The jury retired about 4 o'olock, re
turning at 5 o'clock with a verdict of
"not guilty."
Thomas Sheppard pleaded guilty to
the charge of assault and battery, his
wife being the complainant. The
Court decided to suspend sentence,but
made an Order requiring Sheppard to
pay five dollars per week to his wife ;
it was also ordered that if he practices
any abuse or cruelty toward his wife
lie be at once taken into custody again.
Saloon and hotel keopers were forbid
den to sell Sheppard any drink under
penalty of losing their license. Shep
pard was ordered to report at Court at
the next term.
Court adjourned to meet Saturday
morning.
The Grand Jury Tuesday afternoon
presented its report, which reads as
follows:
To the Honorable Judges of tin Court
of Quarter Sessions of Montour
County.
The Grand Jury having performed
its|duty makes the following report:
We have examined the public build
ings and find them generally in good
condition with the exception of the
Courthouse roof, a leak being appar
ent in the ceiling, which unless re
paired soon will prove injurious to the
plastering and mar the appearance of
the room. We recommend that the leak
be repaired.
The jail and all the appurtenances
thereof seem to be in excellent con
dition.
We recommend as lias been dono by
previous Grand Juries that the indices
in the Register and Recorder's office
be replaced by new ones, as those now
in use have been there for many years
and are in a very dilapidated condi
tion and for the better protection of
the public interest should be replaced
by a more modern and improved kind.
All of which is respectfully submit
ted

TWO HUNDRED WILL
LOSE THEIR LICENSE
POTTSVILLE, Jau. 10.—It is al
ready certain that the Law and Order
Society will succeed in cutting off
nearly 200 saloons from the list in
Schuylkill County this yoar. Today,
after hearing the evidence of detec
tives employed by the society nearly
30 applicants withdrew and their li
censes will be revoked.
Anw ng the revelations of the day
was one that there are many donble
applications for saloon license, where
the proprietors have been convicted of
selling on Sunday. In this way it is
hojied to prevent the court's revoking
the license. It was also shown that
some saloonkeepers make it a business
to get licenses for a new stand and
then aall oat.
HOW HIS FEET
BECAME FROZJ
Herman Prentiss, accompanied by
his brother Ambrose aud sister, Mrs.
Hirsh, of Wilkes-Barre, Friday uiglit
arrived at this city from Greeusbnrg
in the western part of the State where
lie was confined at the Hospital with
both feet frozen.
He is now receiving medical care at
the home of his father, N. 0. Pren
tiss, Railroad street. His feet aro still
in a very bail condition, although it
does not seem likely that amputation
will have to be resorted to unless it l>e
to remove a portion of the toes. At
the Westmoreland Hospital where Her
man was confined it was thought that
several of the toes would have to be
amputated. However.it is by no means
improbable that duo to skillful treat
ment his toes may be saved.
The story that Herman tells is as
follows: Misunderstanding the con
ductor ho left the train at a wrong
station aud started to walk to the next
station. It was ou Sunday and he en
countered rain aud snow. There wore
no houses aud ho walked many miles
hoping to find shelter. Wheti night
overtook him he was drenched through
and through. Discerning a straw stack
in the darkness lie made his way to
ward it, crawled under the straw and
sought Bhelter for the night. Ho had
no doubt but that a farm house was
near but it was lato aud he heard dogs
barking ominously, so that he decided
to entrust himself to the hospitality of
the straw stack. The weather had
changed, however, and it became very
cold. His feet were wet aud he re
moved his shoes, but lie was uuable to
keep his feet warm aud during the
night they were frozen.
The whole affair was purely accid
ental, as Herman was well supplied
with money. But for the misunder
standing which led him out in the
storm he would have been able to pur
chase safe and comfortable lodging.
Calender Show Case.
The First National Bank, Saturday,
installed a very interesting feature,
which will no doubt be much appre
ciated by the public.
It is a calendar Bliow case and a
Rempo self-winding clock combined,
and is installed outside tlic bank build
ing. The show case, which is illumi
nated by fourteen electric lights, is
about seven feet high by three wide
and in an upright position is fastened
against the exterior wall between the
bank door and the cornor of the build
ing.
j Hero iii letters large enough to be
read across the street will bo exposed
the name of the month, day and date
along with other information. Over
all is the clock the face of which is
some twelve inches in diameter, an
opal glass dial, semi-transparent, so
that by the aid of the electric light
bulbs behind it the time will always
be discernible, night or day.
The show case was installed by the
Diamond Glass Company, of Cleve
land. The clock feature is an idea of
the bankers and was specially devised
and installed by Cleaver Wagner, of
the Clock Works.
