MOONLIGHT SCHEDULE
IS ABOLISHED;
Hereafter the borough is to have
more light, that is,light a little earlier
iu the evening ami a little later iu the
morning and light at all times iu the i
night regardless of whether the moon
is shining or not. Orders to the above
effect were delivered at the light plant
Saturday iu response to prolonged and
general complaint from citizens.
Heretofore the employes have boon
following geueral directions from the
coucilmanic committee on light, which
were shaped to effect a cutting down
of expenses at the light plant. In mat
ters of starting up aud shutting down
the men at the plaut wore governed
largely by their own judgment.
It is claimed, however, that their
standards wero at fault and that the
light at evening was turned on too
late At morning there was also com
plaint and people could not see how
the mere bagatelle that was saved by
shutting down so early was any recom
pense for the inconvenience that was
endured by working people who are
obliged to leave their homes before it
is light.
As is well known during moonlight
nights the plant has been shut down.
This was permitted by council, as it
contributed to the general reduction
of cost.. During winter when there is
no foliage on the trees the moon, when
about full, doos very well, but during
summer, when the leaves shut out the
moon beams, the streets need electric
light to make them safe and passable,
whether the moon is full or not. The
moonlight schedule caused a good deal
of complaint.
Iu order to satisfy the public coun
cil decided to give the employes at
the light plant new rules for their
guidance. Thoro will be no more moon
light schedule; the plant will run ev
ery night; it will start up earlier each
evening and furnish light in the morn
ing until the day has fully dawned.
VACATION TIME.
Summer is here with all its glory
and beauty. The hours of light are at
their longest,aud now is the timo when
the vacation period may be best en
joyed. The vacation soasou is at its
height,and at train time at the depots,
one can see friends and neighbors with
gripsack aud trunk ready for a trip to
seashore, lake, mountain or country.
The large majority of people do not
have summer homes and cottages or go
away for a long period, and ten davs
or two weoks or even a less timo can
be spared from their work or business.
The value of the vacation time is
measured by uecossity in these later
days. What formerly was looked upon
as a privilege aud recreation now is
considered indispensable to tho well
doing of the work of tho rest of the
year. A fortnight at least,and a mouth
better yet, is the recompense aud pre
paration for the close aud hard work
of the year. It is rightly reasoned that
it is not time lost, but that more can
be accomplished for it than if tho pe
riod of recreation aud recuperation be
not taken. So rapid is the pace of busi
ness nowadays, that the vacation is
the safety-valve for the exacting du
ties of active life. Neglect the play
spell aud the physical and mental
machinery will suffer in cousequenco
and the sooner run down and out.
The vacation is just ified aud demand
ed by the modem methods of living,
and he is a wise person who does not
neglect by it to favor and reiuforce
himself. It need not be a vainglorious,
fashion-exactiug vacation; better so
that it be not. But the change of air
aud scene aud of association and div
ersion is good for the person iu what
ever spheres of activity he may be en
gaged. Sometimes the seaside and the
ocean air and view are the suitable
things; then again the hills or the
valleys, the lake or the stream are most
couducivo to comfort and health, aud
wherever the taste or inclination, and
the tonic requirements, there the so
journer for the vacation time should
seek rest and health aud strength.
Thero are all about us innumerable in
stances in which the well-spent vaca
tion has renewed the hold upon life
and restored its alluroments, and re
newed the individual capability for
the full and reasonablo enjoyment of
its charms and beauties. Old ami
young are the beneficiaries of the glad
vacation time, benefits for the whole
year, which help to the fulfillment of
the duties incumbent upon us with a
new zest and more healthful spirit.
Bishop Sues Railroad Company.
Bishop Hobau, of the Scrantou dio
cese filed suit for £>o,ooo damages
Saturday against tho Delaware and
Hudson railroad compauy. Recently
the Catholic church and school prop
erty in North Scranton, was damaged
by disastrous mine caves. The amount
of repairs necessitated will require a
Urge outlay. i
SUPERVISORS
VISIT SUNBDRY
From iudicatious it does not seem
uulikely that tho present season will
pass away before any work is done on
the approach at the south side of the
river bridge. More than a year has
elapsed since the completion of the j
bridge, during which time traffic has |
boeu obliged to accommodate itself to
a mere makeshift in the form of au
approach. It is unfortunate indeed
that after so much trial aud at this
late day no relief is in sight.
In the hope of accomplishing some
thing taugiblo relating to the approach
P. G. Baylor and Oliver Hoover of the
board of towns!)ip supervisors paid a
visit to Sunbury a few days ago and
met tho county commissioners. The
meeting was barren of practical r<v
suits. The commissioners merely re- (
affirmed their positiou, which they i
I fully explained on the occasion of
their visit to South Dauville in com- | I
pauy with Judge Savidgo last spring, j I
The commissioners of Northumber- ! ]
laud county declare themselves ready j <
at any time to proceed with the con- j
struct ion of the retaining wall oil the ( I
upper side, but the lower wall beyond
the fourteen feet that both couutios ! i
are jointly responsible for, they will
have nothing to do with. The build- j ■
iug of the wall on the lower side,they j
aver, devolves upon Uearhart town- i
ship or upon the Danville and Suu- j
bury street railroad company, whose
track lies 011 tho lower side of the ap
proach.
While probably uoue of the residents
of Gearnart township favor the view
that tho township should build the
lower l'etaiuiug wall, yet not a few of
them in common with tax payers
throughout the county take tho view
that the trolley compauy should bear
tho expense. Thus the county commis
sioners find themselves pretty well
sustained in their opposition to the
county's building the lower wall aud
they are by no means disposed to re
cede. At the same time until the trol
ley company organizes and resumes
building it will be useless to look for
any co-operation 011 its part; thus any
thing like an agreement and the build
ing of the approach is utterly out of _
sight at present.
Meanwhile the traveling public will
have to tolerate the steep and narrow
approach—with its deep mud when j
ever it raius or its clouds of suffocat
ing dust that follows whenever there
are a few days of clear weather.
Will Look for San Jose Scale.
A. W. Stephens, orchard inspector
for the State department of zoology,
arrived in this city Monday, aud will
begin at once a tour of inspection of
the orchards of Montour county that
will occupy at least two mouths, and
which will pave the way for a series
of demonstrations that the department
will make throughout the county in
the fall.
Mr. Stephens' work in Montour will j
consist solely in inspections. He will •
try, as nearly as it is possible to do
so,to reach every orchard in the couu- \
ty, looking especially for San Jose j
scale, which it will be remembered
Mr. Briukerhoff, a former representa- I
tive of the department, found to be j
quite prevalent in this section.
Wherever Mr. Stephens finds the 1
San Jose scale or any other conditions j
that are detrimental to the trees lie
will advise the owner what is best to •
do under the circumstances,at the same
time taking notes for a report to the !
State department. In the fall, when \
the leaves are off the trees, the de- j
monstrations, which will be based on '
tho information obtained from Mr. j
Stephens' inspections, will be held :
throughout the county.
As Mr. Stephens goes about through ■
the county he will take applications !
for inspections to take place in the j
fall, the inspections, however, not to \
he less than four miles apart.
After Sellers of Bogus Teed Stuff.
The State Department of Agricul
ture in carrying out the provisions of
the feeding stuffs law finds it neces
sary, iu many cases, to use stringent
measures to enforce tho same.
Several weoks ago iuformatiou was
made before 11. S. Perry, justice of
the peace at Warren, against J. W.
Armstrong, a Warren feed dealer, who
had violated the law. The charge was
that Mr. Armstrong had exposed and
offered for sale, wheat middlings with
out haviug the guarantee analysis for
protein and fat printed 011 tne sacks
enclosing the material. The middl
ings wore made by Crouch Bros., Erie
Pa. The Stato brought civil action
against Mr. Armstrong uuder the
ameudod law of 11)05, and sought to
secure a fine of 1100.
The testimony in the case was re
cently heard by a jury iu tiie office ot
Justice Perry, Attorney W. W. Wil
bur was counsel for the State,and con
siderable time was taken up in hear
ing the testimony and delivery of the !
charges to the jury, but it required
only a few moments for the jury to
reach a decision favorable to the State.
The Department of Argiculture was
represented by Secretary of Agricul
ture Critchfield, Special Agent G. G.
Hutchison and State Chemist F. D.
Fuller.
Much iuterest centered iu this case
and the verdict will materially assist
the State in enforcing a law, the good
effects of which are being felt in all
parts of the State.
TOO MANY CANDIDATES.
The Uuited Miuo Workers of the
first legislative district of Schuylkill
county held a meeting the other day, I
the intention of which was to suggest
legislative candidates for both tho De
mocratic ami Republican primaries.
After some discussion, however, it was
discovered that there were so many
aspirants and tho delegates were so
divided in sentiment that the best way
out of tho difficulty was to do nothing.
So tho convention adopted a resolution
to the effect- that all tho aspirants
should register and take their chauces
at their respective party primaries. A
very sousible conclusion.
Only a small minority of prohibi
tionists are members of the prohibi
tion party yet
WILL INSTALL
BOILERS THIS WEEK
Work on the improvements at the
hospital for the insane is advancing
steadily along all lines aud Mr. Stut- 1
terheim, Saturday night, stated that, 1
if the weather conditious prove at all
favorable, the work will be completed
aud the iustitutiou will have electric
light by the last of August. Iu all
eight-five men are employod on the
now work.
Throughout all the male wards of
the hospital the wiring is completed
and the panel boards installed, which
leaves nothing more to be done than
to install tho fixtures. 111 tho fomale
wards the panel boards are being in
stalled, which meaus that the work is
nearly completed.
111 addition to the above an enor
mous amount of wiring was done in
other and smaller buildings including
tho pumping station tho pumpman's
house, tho morgue', tho coachman's
houso, the stable, the farm house, the
! largo bam aud the outbuildings in
| eluding the pig sty. In fact there will
|be electric light everywhere—iu each
! building whore artificial light can be
used to advantage as well as all about
| the grounds, where as oxplaiued in a
previous issue an underground system
of wires is employed,
j The ouo point uuique iu his experi
ence, Mr. Stutterheim says, is the
| wiring of the pig pen,although ho has
( 110 fault to find with tho idea and feels
( sure that while the electric light will
add much to the cmiveniouco of the
farmhands it will exert no bad effect
upon the porkers.
Work 011 tho building to house the
heat, light aud power plaut is pro
gressing very rapidly. The foundation
walls are completed aud 011 one sido
of tho building the concrete wall is
raised to the height of ten feet.
The power house is now roadv for
the boilers, which will arrive this
week. Tho foundation for tho boilers
—three in number, of 600 horse power
each—are completed, as well as the
foundations for the engines and
the foundation for the 150 foot steel
stack.
Along every liuo of work the progress
made surpasses expectation. Tho fav
orable showing is due iu laige dogree
to the apt and obedient class of men
employed, who, Mr. Stutterheim de
clares, in all those qualitios that go
to make up faithful and desirable
workmen surpass any with whom ho
has been brought in contact for a
long time.
Wants tc Erect Pole.
A committee of council held a meet
ing Saturday night to consider a prop
osition from the United Telephone
and Telegraph company looking to a
change in wires 011 the river bridge.
The Uuited telephoue wires at pres
ent are carried across the bridge at
the upper sido on a level with tho
1 floor. Tho company desires to remove
j the wires to the lower sido of the
i bridge and to carry them across 011 tho
iron work over head. 111 order to ac
! complish this it will bo necessary to
j raise a sixty-five foot pole at this end
of the bridge.
| The question left for the committee
I to decide Saturday night was whether
j or not it would permit the telephone
| compauy to erect tho high pole at the
| south western corner of Mill ami
( Front streets. Owing to tho other high
1 poles near the spot tho borough was
I led to oppose the plan, but, desiring
■ to help the telephone company along,
made suggestions which will 110 doubt
j be acted upon.
| A representative of the telephone
j company Saturday ovening stated that
the high pole may take tho place of a
smaller one now standing in front of
: (rillaspy's hotel ami be made to do
j double duty. The cost of changing the
| wires will be SSOO and upwards.
Can Use Only Six hooks.
j Fish Commissioner Moohaii has stir
red up some of the anglers along the
Schuylkill by a letter he sent to some
Norristowu enthusiasts who wore in
doubt aud trepidation about the num
ber of rods or hand-linos a man may
use in fishing wheu he is doing a lone
stunt. There was some question about
tho matter among the fishermou of
Montgomery county and as tho fish
wardens have boeu active they con
cluded not to run any chauces aud 0110
wroto to Mr. Meohau.
The letter of the Commissioner set
ties the momentous question of how
many linos or rods a man cau run at
one time and says in part:
"A fisherman can lawfully use one
rod aud one hand line at tho same
time,each having not more tliau throe
hooks. Tho Sui>erior Court has so de
cided. But two rods or two hand-lines
would be unlawful."

Rev. B. H. Hart, chairman of the
committee in charge of the prepara
tions for the annual reunion of the
Methodist churches of Harrishurg aud
vicinity to be held at Reservoir Park
Aug. 3, said yesterday that all of the
plans for the event have boon complet
ed. He said there was every expecta

iu the Methodist church and his ad
dress will be heard with unusual in
t< rest.
Fell From Wagan.
Frank Diolil, of Valley township,
had a bad fall, and a narrow escape
from serious injury Thursday after
noon.
1 Mr. Diohl was unloading hay iu tho |
barn with a pulley fork. He was pull- ;
iug ou the rope to rcleaso a fork full
of hay when the rope broke and losing
his balance, Mr. Diohl fell to tho barn
floor striking ou his head. He was
rendered unconscious and it was
thought that ho was seriously hurt. It
was later ascertained, however, that a
number of painful bruises were the
extent of his injuries
IMPROVEMENTS
ON A STREET
The extensive improvements on A
street being mado by tho Danville and
Bloomshurg streot railway company
have now progressed far enough to re
veal both tho excellent quality of the
work done and what appearance the
finished street will presout when it is
handed over to tho borough.
Tho retaiuiug walls are now all laid
up with tho exception of a small por
tion oil the buildiug line at tho prop
erty of the Grove Presbyterian church
which will bo finished today. After
that nothing will remaiu but to place
tho copiug on the walls. There are
two sets of retaining walls—one on
curb liuo and tho other ou the build
ing lino. Tho walls, which aro built
of good sizod stone laid in cement,
throughout are the very pink of per
fection aud present a solid and artistic
appearance. Along the east si le of the
streot tiie wall ou tho buildiug liuo is
tho higlior of tho two. At tho property
of Aarou Rockafellor it is nearly five
feet high aud also protects the rear of
tho lot where tho latter abuts ou the
alley. At the Smith, Counolloy and
Gill properties, further down the
street,a loss height is required, but at
those places subtantial stono stops aro
built in tho wall, which adds to the
cost of tho improvement. Tho only
proporty on the west side of tho stroet,
beside the Grove Prosbytoriau church,
that is affected by the improvement is
tho lot of J. N. Leohner, whoso front
is very nicely protectod by two walls.
Tho sidewalks, protected by tho re
taining wall on the curb line, aro cut
down to within two feet of tho street
level, while the street itself as cut
down and graded is not at all difficult,
for oven the heaviest hauling. By the
time the coping is added to the walls
the otToct will be much enhanced and
A streot in addition to its convenience
will strike tho oyo as pleasantly as
any thoroughfare iu tho borough.
After the walls are completed tho
streot. will be filled up and graded. To
carry oil' the water 12-inch iron pipe
will be sunk on either side of the
thoroughfare at tho intersection of
Green streot.
STATE WILL" ~
INSPECT MILK
E. D. Miller, of Rock wood, and
James McGregor, of Indiana, repre
senting tho State dairy and food com
mission, are in this part of the Stato
holding up milk wagons and getting
samples of milk to bo forwarded to the
commissioners' chemists. Tho inspect
ors were in Williamsport recently and
are headed this way. so it is prolmblo
that tho local milkmen will be called
on soon. Concerning these inspections,
an exchange says:
Local milk men are exercised over
tho expected coming here of State
milk 44 inspectors." Tho investigation
mado by this commission two years
ago was somewhat unsatisfactory and
it is alleged unjust fines were exact
ed. Dissatisfaction was caused before
through the fact that, as alleged, the
inspecting commission did not use
sufficient precautious in the perform
ance of their duties. As a result many
of tho dairymen wore accused of put
ting formaldehyde iu their milk, thus
making it chemically impure and open
iug it to condemnation by tho State
health authorities. Fines were loviod
upou several dealers. The milkmen,
being unorganized, had no means of
protection against tho alleged imposi
tions. ludividul suit would have been
an oxpensivo proceeding,and co-opera
tivo action could not be effected. In
dignant at the treatment received at
tho bauds of tho commission on their
last visit the milkmen have beou on
their guard and have decided that now
thoy shall bo dealt with squarely. To
this end it may be possible that the
dealers will combiuo to be able to cope
moie easily with this question, should
the inspectors carry on their business
on a similar basis.
Berks county has found a use for tho
Stato constabulary. They are stationed
at Adanistown to preserve order dur
ing a campmeetiug, where they may
bo both ornamental and useful.
A NEED
IfIRROVEMENT
Street Commissioner Miller is en
gaged iu laying twenty-inch terra
cotta pipe along the east side of Ferry
street between Lower Mulberry street
and the D. L. &W. track. This is a
luiich-uoeded though long-deferred im
provement, rendered judispeusiblo by
tho deep gutter existing at that point.
Tho condition of the streot thoro has
been the cause of much complaint.
Tho pipe which will connect with
the large drain uuder the 13. L. & W.
track, will mako it possible to fill up
the gutter and lovol the spot over. The
j drain takes iu the fronts of tho prop
j erties of Wellington Rote and Mrs.
I Gonier Thomas.
Struck by Pennsy Passenger.
Dauiel Kiehlo, of Lewisburg, was
struck by a Pennsylvania passenger
train at Bluff,botweeu South Danville
and Catawissa, Friday morning and
although not seriously injured, it is a
mystery to tho railroad mou low he
escaped death.
Kiehlo had boon riding on a freight
that was on tho Bluff siding, waiting
for the 10:17 passenger train togo by.
While the freight, was on the siding
! Kiohle alighted, and laid down with
his head near the main track to take a
nap. Ho fell asleep and did not hoar
tho passenger train approaching.
Neither did the engineer see tho man
I until the locomotivo was almost upon
| tho man.
1 Tho train struck Kiehlo going at
full speed and whirled him away from
the track. Ho was picked up uucousc
ious aud taken to Catawissa where Dr
Marion Vastino dressed his injuries,
consisting of a sovere scalp wound that

DDST ARRESTERS (
PROVE A SUCCESS
Glassford's patent dust arrester in
stalled iu tho cleaning room of the i
Stove Works a couple of weeks ago is 1
now in operation aud is giving com- \
plete satisfaction. Under natural cou
ditious *hc cleauing department of i
such a plant is one of tho dirtiest aud t
most disagreeable places imaginable, 1
the dust being so dense as to almost t
conceal tho workmen. It is something 3
of a revelation therefore, to outer the I
cleaning room at present and to fiud c
the air pure and as free from dust as a
the atmosphere outsido the building, t
oven though the machines,ten in 1111111- 1
her, aro all in operation. t
It has not been long since dust art
resters of another and simpler pattern,
were installed in the polishing room 1
of tho stove works, whore previously (
conditions wore quite as bad as in the 112
cleaning department, the dust from i
the oniery wheels proving especially l
injurious to tho workmen. Under pre- j
sent conditions polishing is by 110 1
means unpleasant work and there is 1
nothing about it doterimontal to tho .
health.
The stove works in the matter of '
equipment is now thoroughly modern l
and in the front ranks. Among other
improvements rocontly installed is a
44 trolley system" in the foundry for i
tho purposo of conveying the molten
iron from the cupola to tho moulds.
Tho heavy ladles of hot iron, which
wore formerly luggod about by the
workmen aro now attached to the ovor
head trolley and thus suspended, with
little effort are conveyed to tho re
motest part of the foundry.
The Danville Stove and Manufactur
ing company may be relied upon to
keep thoroughly abreast with tho times

CARR COMMITTED TO
JAIL WITHOUT BAIL
Startling facts developed Thursday
in the drowning' accident in which
little George Fausnaught lost his lifo
Wednesday afternoon.
It cauie to the ears of the author
ities Thursday morning that, contrary
to the statement made Wednesday
night by Clarence Carr, thero was an
other boy in the old steel plant when
young Fausnaught was drowned. This
boy's name is Gus Earp, and it be
came rumored about that he made the
serious accusation that Carr had
thrown Fausnaught into the pool, and
laughing with fiomlisli glee, had
then allowed him to drown without
trying t"» effect a rescuo.
Hearing of these new disclosures |
William V. Oglesby, acting as coron- j
er, proceeded to the old steel plant ,
and empaneled a jury to thoroughly
inquire into the manner in which
young Fausnaught met his death. The
jury selected was John G. Voris, W.
H. N. Walker, Albert Kemmor, Alonzo
Mottorn, Frank Kramer ami Thoo. R.
Angle.
The jury proceeded to the steel plant
where,amid the realistic surroundings,
the testimony of two witnesses was
heard.
Gus Earp was sworn aud told hut
story to the jury, illustrating his
words with gestures and movements
to show the actions of the two boys,
Carr and Fausnaught, before the lat
ter was drowned. Earp said that Ralph
Heiin, Carr aud Fausnaught aud he
had been together in the mill,aud that
Hoim left. Fausnaught was sitting at
the top of the bank, which is about 10
feet high, aud quite steep, throwing
small stones into tlio water. Carr slip
| pod around behind Fausnaught and
catching him by the ankles aud around
the body, threw him head loug into
the pool, the boy alighting about 5
feet from the shore. Carr then sat
down on the bank, the witness con
tinued, and indulged in a hearty laugh
at his playmate's plight, as he sank
aud rose to the surface, then sank and
| rose again aud finally disappeared he-
I neat 11 the dark surface of the pool,
I choking and gasping and uttering
| feeble cries for held.
Earp said he stayed for about 20
j minutes after Carr threw the boy into
. the water aud then went home, but
told no one but his mother of the tor-
I riblo tilings he had witnessed. He said
he was afraid the Carr boy would
"jump him" if lie told,
i Joseph Reed testified to being pres
ent when the body of George Faus
naught was taken from the water in
the soaking pit.
Wheu it was seen what trend affairs
! were taking several men were deputis
| ed to hunt for Clarence Carr,and soon
he was brought to the old steel plant,
where the jury was still sitting. He
was cautioned by District Attorney C.
P. Gcarhart that he need say nothing
unless he so desired and that anything
he said could be used against him in a
I trial.
| Carr si>oko a few words denying that
jhe throw Fausnaught iuto the pool.
His statement in every particular was
exactly the reverse of what young
Earp had said.
Carr said that Farsnaught was stand
ing down noar the edge of the water
throwing sticks into the pool, wlion
he slipped and fell iuto the water.
Carr said he tried to help him out hut
was uuable to save him.
The jury then adjourned to Albert
Kemmer'a hotel where after a short
private session the following verdict
was rendered:
"Au inquisition takou at the Steel
Plaut in the Second Ward of the Bor
ough of Danville, county of Montour
and State of Pennsylvania,on the nine
teenth day of July, A. D. 1906, upon
view of the body of George Loroy
Fausnaught, lying dead, before Wil
liam V. Oglesby,a justice of the peace
in ami for said county, thero being no
lawfully apppoiuted corouor for said
county, upon the solemn oaths respec
tively, of John G. Voris, W. H. N.
Walker, Albert Kommer, Alonzo Mot
torn, Frank Kramor aud Theodore It.
Angle,six good and lawful men of the
county aforesaid, charged to inquire
on the part of the commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, wheu, where and by
what means the said George L. Faus
naught came to his death, who upou
their respective oaths, do say, that it
appears from the view of the body and
from the evidence produced before
them, that the said George L. Faus
naught, aged 11 years, 3 months aud 7
days, came to his death by drowning
on July 18th, 11)0(5,at the bauds of one
Clarence Carr,a boy in his 16th. year,
either by being pushed or thrown in
to the soaking pit at the old steel
plant, iu the secoud ward of the bor
ough of Danville aforesaid."
The hearing of Clarence Carr,charg
ed with causing the death of George
Leroy Fausnaught, took place Friday
evening before Justice of the Peace
William V. Oglesby. in the private
office of Sheriff George Maiers iu the
county jail.
The hoariug was not marked by auy
new developments in the case. Au air
of sadness pervaded the proceedings,
and expressions of pity for young Carr
frequently found voice. He is a boy
who has been surrounded all his life
by the most, demoralizing influences,
aud the commission of an act such as
he is charged with would bo but the
expected outcome of an early training
such as his has been.
A pitiable example of the immoral
surroundings amid which he has been
roared was furnished last night as the
hearing was about to begin, when it
was nocessary to refuso to admit (ho
father of the Carr boy, as he was too
drunk to properly behave himself.
The information as lodged by Wil
liam Fausnaught, uncle of the drown
ed boy, is as follows :
That on the 18th. day of July,
1906,, at the stool plaut iu the
Secoud ward of the borough of
Danville. Clarence Carr did
unlawfully cause the death of
Georgo Loroy Fausnaught, by
shoving or throwing the said
George L. Fausnaught iuto the
soakiug pit of the said steel
plant,said pit being tilled with
