DANVILLE INTELLIGENCER VOLUME 78. ■EMI II |B Threatening letters, it appears, are becoming au epidemic up around Cata wissa, aud another one was received by a young girl of that place yester day morning, making the third that has been sent to different parties with in the last few days. The first was that sent through the mails to Bar iuau Young demanding that money be depositee* at a certain spot in default of which vengeance would follow.and though it was disregarded nothing followed. Another threat was posted on the black board of the Hartuian school near (Jatawissa threatening the teaeher if money was not deposited in the pump house across from the school. Now oomes another letter through the Uatawissa ]>ost ofllce yesterday morning/'bearing every indication of having been sent by the same party who sent the Barman Young letter. It was seiH to Miss Eva Bendershott, daughter ,of Clias. Bendershott of Fourth street, Catawissa. Miss Heftdershott was at the post office just : before closing time Tuesday evening and there was no muil for her at that time, and as the letter was in the box w.tieu the otfifco was opened yesterday morning before six o'clock, it must haVe been mailt-1 some time during thSruight., It demanded that the sum of S6OO bo placed at. the old Quaker meeting house on OSouth street by Saturday evening, Novoinber 3rd, and if this was not dtfbe that death would surely follow. The letter went onto state at leugth that the senders had written other threiifcg before to people in the town, and all those were tak eu as the \#ork of a joker the seuder meant to pfcove in this case that he was in deadly earnest, ami would cer tainly maker an example,aud take Miss Bendershotl's life unless the money was left as directed.

TLXDGKI) BUT TO TBUTH, TO ARB LAW —WO FATOB BWATB D 8 A W rmAM HUU Awa" DANVILLE. MONTOUR COUNTY. PA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 190(*. HOB mu 1 ME It developed nt the meeting of the school hoard Monday that through uo neglect of the school authorities the law obliging children under 14 years of age to attend school is not be ing lived up to quite as rigidly as it ought to be. Mr. Fischer called atten tion to soveral instances in which chil dren apparently under 14 years are at work instead of attending school. In several instances parents have put in a strong plea for exemption or cle mency on the ground that through straightened circumstances in the fam ily the aid of the child as u wage earn er is seriously needed. After a thorough discussion it was the souse of the school board that uo exceptions can be made no matter what the family circumstances may be; aud that it devolves upon the tru ant officer to see to it that all children under 14 years are kept in school; also that those employing children should keep tho requirements of the law in miud aud by exercising care prevent themselves from being imposed upon | and unwittingly admitting boys aud girls into their employ who are under fourteen. Borough Superintendent Gordy ca.ll ed attention io the need of holders for the type writers in tho commercial de partment. In our high school,he said, we are teaching type-writing by the "touch system," by which, it is un derstood, the pupils manipulate the machine on the same principle that a person leuru.s to play tho piano. With out a holder for the notes the pupils are obligod to keep their heads turned to one side, which places them on au unnatural position. To overcome this a modern device is coming into gener al use, by which the notes are held directly in front of the pupil on the typewriter. The board was impressed with the utility of the device aud ou motion of Mr. Heiss it was orderod that one half-dozen of the "holders" be purchased. The following members were pres ent. Burns, Orth, S warts, Pursel, Har ing, Trumbower, Fischer, Heiss, Har pel, Lutz aud Grono. The following bills wore approved for payment: A. M. Phillips * 1.05 Peter Winters Joliu Stroub 1.25 U. L.

Whatever success may attend the daylight, hunters who tread over the tields in search of squirrels, pheasauts aud the like it is pretty plain that the coon crop is a good one and that those who have the hardihood to devote a night to coon hunting need not come home empty handed. Charles Beyer, of West Hemlock township, accompanied by George Bedea aud Grant Hidgeway of this city, putin Tuesday night coon hunt ing ou Montour ridge opposite Camer on. Yesterday morning they appeared in town with three large coons which excited the envy of all other coon hunters. Mr. Beyer is au expert after coons aud lie has two of the best coon dogs in tho country,both of which ac companied the party Tuesday night. Tho present being the "dark of the moon" is considered the very best time for coons, and every night now the hunters are out in force, although it is very rarely that so many tine coons are bagged as wore caught by Mr. Beyer and party. Tonsilitls is Prevalent. While there are comparatively few cases of diphtheria in Danville, other forms of sore throat, especially tonsi litis, seems to be very prevaleut. Of tousiiitis,alone,one of our physicians, yesterday stated that in one day ho was called' to attend no less than twelve cases 'l,l 1..1' ....... tin',,.,. nvilll The prevalence of sore throat, even if in the more harmless forms, causes no little anxiety and embarrassment among the school teachers. Case after case is developed in the schools of the j borough and those in charge not know iug whether diphtheria may develop or not and dreading to expose the rest | of the school to the least danger of in fection are put to their wit's ends in dealing with the case. Obviously the | safe thins to do would be to exclude I the child from school at the tirsc syin | ptoms of sore throat and admit it only 1 when the true nature of the ailment ' is established to the teacher's satisfac i tion Musical Tonight. , The Women's guilt} of Christ Epis i copal church will give a musical this evening at the home ofc Mrs. Charles Cloud, East Market street. Au excel lent. program has been arranged auoual discipline. The application to tho judges of the court of Montour county, which asks chat a commission be appointed to in quire into and report on the mental condition of George Arnold was re ceived at the courthouse yesterday aud is signed by Charles C. Church, warden of the Eastern penitentiary. lu his application the warden sets forth that he believes Arnold to be in sane and in consequence of such iu sanity an unfit subject for the peniteu tiary, that tho said prisoner has con stant outbreaks, that he has threaten ed to kill his keeper; that he has marked delusions of persecutions and threatens violence when released, to those whom ho believes are persecuting him. -He thinks that poison is being injected into him to put. his heart out of order aud in the opiniou of the petitioner is a dangerous person. The applicaut therefore requested that tho said Goorgo Arnold bo remov ed to a hospital for the insane. The court will probably take action ou the warden's application today, appoint ing a commission to inquire into aud report on tho prisoner's mental condi tion. George Arnold was a resident, of Welsh hill. Tho victim of his shootiug was William J. Keefor, who had a very narrow escape from being killed. Keefer was struck ou the forehead by tiie bullet, which glanced and plough ed a furrow through the scalp on the top of his iiead. First Visit in Fifty-One Years. j John Samlel, Church street, is en tertaining his brother, Michael Sandel, of Sturgis, Michigan, who is paying liis first visit to Montour county in tift.y-one years. Mr. Samlel arrived in Danville yesterday morning and pro ceeded to tho Montour house where he made inquiries concerning his brother, later proceeding to the residence of the latter on Church street. Mr. Samlel was born ou the homo stead farm in West Hemlock township now occupied by his nephew, Hiram Saudel. He was a youug man when he left Danville. He settled in Michigan and the ties which soon bound him to that State held him so tightly that in I the long interim of over half a ceut ■ ury he never paid a visit to his native | place. It was not, however, that he did not frequently think of revisiting the scenes of his youth; tho visit was i postponed, however, until now in his advanced years it has actually taken place. j Mr. Samlel sees but few of the land marks remaining that greeted him when lie bade Montour county good bye. Comparatively few of the faces, too, remain that lie was familiar with over fifty years ago and those that are still here to greet him like his own are much chauged by time aud the trials of life. It has been a long time since a sojourner has appeared in Dan ville to whoso visit greater interest at tached than to Mr. Saudol's. Rounding Out 1(M) Years. "Aunt Peggy" Sec hie r, well known as the oldest person living in this sec tion, on next Monday, October 2i»th, will celebrate her one hundredth birth day. "Aunt Peggy" still retains her faculties to a remarkable degree. She is growing feeble, however, and her deafness is becoming an increasing in firmity. Still she is a most delightful companion aud when in the mood dwells for hours on tho remote past i that related to the town before most i people now living wero born. Many of her reminiscences reveal glimpses of life wholly uuique and strange to citi/eus of the present day, although the scenes enacted took place on the very spot where Danville stands. Killed at Watsontown. I Abram Wertmau, who resided with his widowed daughter, Mrs. Mary Leech, at Watsontown, was struck | yesterday morning by train No. (54 on j the Pennsylvania railroad, commonly' 1 known as the flyer, which passes A through Watsontown at 7:25 o'clock. Mr. Wortman was standing ou the Eighth street crossing waiting for a freight train togo past. The Pennsyl vania road is double tracked and the freight was passing north. On the oth er track the flyer was speeding its way southward. As the caboose of the freight swung by Mr. Wertinan start ed across the tracks. The freight hid the passenger (rain from view and its noise drowned the warning bell. It was a perfect death trap, such as is found ou nearly every unprotected crossing in the country. The engineer of the oncoming pass enger train blew his whistle, but Mr. Wertman was slightly deaf and evid ently did not hear it. The cowcatch er struck the old man,brutally tossing him through the air to one side, where i he lay stunned and motionless, with i his back brokeu. He lived scarcely I half an hour afterward. j Have you picked the winners for j ' November 6th V JOHN L. EVANS 1111 REST i All that was mortal of John L. ; Evans, whoso death occurred Thurs day morning, was consigned to its last i resting place in Odd Fellows' cemetery on Saturday afternoon. The funeral was a large one. Not a tribute was absent that was needed to show universal esteem. The large turnout of Free Masons, present in a body, the equally large number of members of B. P. O. ' Elks scattered about the assemblage, the beautiful flowers, the eulogistic remarks that one overhead in undertones all spoke volumes. The Mowers alone formed a striking tribute. Chrysanthemums, carnatious ami all the beautiful blooms of the season were hanked about the casket, seemingly tilling the entire room. Olio of the offerings came from Mahoning lodge No. 51tt, F. & A. M.,another from the order of Elks but by far the greater number were contributed by individual friends. The services were conducted by the Hev. M. K. Foster,pastor of St. Paul's M. E. church, assisted by the Hev. Harry Curtin Harman, of Harrisburg, former pastor, and the llev. .T. E. Hutchison, pastor of the Mahoning Presbyterian church. He~«. J. E. Hutchison read the 91st psalm, lie was followed by the Hev. M. K. Foster, who offered a most fervcut aud beautiful prayer, which appealed wonderfully to the hearts of those* present. Hev. Harry Onrtin Har niau, who was pastor of St. Paul's when the health of the deceased failed and lie went West hoping to be bene fitted by the change,spoke at consider able length,dwelling most beautifully upon the blameless life aud gracious personality of John L. Evans. Hev. M. K. Foster followed in the same strain. Hymns "Nearer My God to Thee" and "Lead Kindly Light" were sung. The pallbearors, chosen from among the Freemasons, wore as follows: M. G. Youngman, W. L. McOlure, W. G. Pursel. O. P. Hancock, W. R. Clarke and M. H. Schram. The following persons from out of town attended the funeral: Thomas Johns and wife, Mrs. aud Miss Johns, of Scranton ; William Freeze and wife, Mr. aud Mrs. Sheridan Swentzel, of Bloomsburg; Mrs. Harry, of Berwick; Mrs. James,of Pittston; Mrs. Heboeca Brown and Harry Haas,of Milton; W. IJ. Jury and Joseph Kcslor, of Sha mokin; Mrs. H. B. Hulliheii and Mrs. Kate Mears, of Willianisport; Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Maus and Mr. and Mrs. John Johnson, of West Hemlock town ship. Revisiting Danville. * Horace Moore ot Newport, Pa., aud sister, Mrs. Harry Bechtel, of Cincin nati, Ohio, are visiting old friends in Danville after a long absence. The two visitors are son and daugh ter of John Moore, a prominent real estate owner of former days.The pres ent one is Mr. Moore's first visit to Danville in twenty-five years. The visitors find much to interest them here and are cordially welcomed by old friends oil every side. Mr. Moore was in the treasury de partment at Washington for many years,during both Cleveland's and Mc- Ki 11 lev's administration. T. W. ftedea a Benedict Mrs. Ellen Bomboy and Councilman T. W. Bedea were united in the holy bonds of matrimony 011 Saturday even ing. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride,on Front street, at 8 :30 o'clock by the Rev. Joseph E. Guy, pastor of the Sliiloh Reformed church. Only the immediate family was present. The brido is a widely known and highly esteemed resident of our town. The groom, who is foreman at the Structural Tubing works, is likewise well known and very popular. Girl Hired at Knrglar. A bold attempt to rob the home of Mrs. John Creasy, at Berwick, early yesterday morning was frustrated by 1 Mrs. Creasy's daughter. The young lady was awakened by a noise aud, going to a window, saw a man in the back yard. Getting her re volver, she fired five shots at the rob ber, none of which, however, took ef fect. The shots aroused the neighbors, who chased the man quite a distance anil finally lost him. This is the third attompt that has been made to rob the Creasy homo within a short time, but 5 011 each occasion the burglar has been scared away. Entertained at Dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Miles Mottern onter taiued a number of young people at their home on Grand street, Thursday evening, in honor of their daughter Bertha. Refroshmonts were served. Those preseut were: Missos Sue Gross, Verda Kocher, Vinnie Mon tague, Mary Weaver, Bessie Evaus. Hattie Robinson, Clara Smith, Bertha Reilly, Clara Whitmoyer, Messrs.

At Sheep's Church. ■ Kev. Vermon Harington.the prohib i ition speaker, and his wife, will hold 'a public meeting at Sheep's church to* j night. II OFFICER IKES ARREST The action taken by the school board Monday night looking to a stricter en forcement ot the school law relating • to attendance bore fruit yesterday in the arrest of a resident of the second ward for failing to send his eleven year-old sou to school with sufficient regularity. The case was one which is likely to have a parallel at any time. The in formation was lodged by Truant Offi cer W. E. Young, who is responsible for the attendance of pupils. The hear ing was held before Justice Oglesby, who imposed a fine of two dollars aud costs under tho act of 11)01, which ob-1 ligos parents to send their childron to school seventy-five per cent of the time elapsed since the beginning of the term, the poualty being two dol lars fine or two days' imprisonment for the first offense aud five dollars fine or five days' imprisonment for tho second offense. In tho case of tho man arrested, his boy was not making anything like full time. Truancy, it seems, did not enter into it, as th-a boy merely stayed at homo, which" loft die truant officer 110 other alternative than to proceed through the parents. As the circumstances became known the defendant became an object of con siderable sympathy, lie admitted that his boy was out of school. Earlier in the term the father kept him out with tho consent; of one of tho local direc tors; later he was very anxious to have the boy in school but during his ab sence at work tho boy was permitted to remain at homo by tho mother. The justice explained to the defend ant that in the face of the law the "permission" granted by tho director was without weight; also that while uiifortunnto he as father and head of the family was responsible for his children's attendance or 11011-attend auce at school, regardless of the part played by any other member of the family. The defendant saw the ]>oiut and unhesitatingly paid fine and costs amounting to |2.75. Comment 011 tho above is unneces sary. That hardship is wrought on poor peoplo, who can illy afford to bear the expense when the law is por -111 it ted to take its course is quite evid ent. The remedy would lie in comply ing with tho law aud keeping chil dren in school as required. All the facts of the above case are presented with the hope that tlioy may prove an object lesson to those parents who are tempted to becomo negligent iu the matter of sending children to school. Excitement on Railroad Street. The appearance of a "cloak man" 011 Hailroad street between tho P. & H. station aud the borough line has kept the residents of that section in a state of great excitement for some days or rather nights past. Whether the ap parition is of the fake sort or is a real "cloak man", whatever that may imply, is not known, but the uncer tainty does not diminish tho effect. The section is lone aud deserted aftor dark these nights, handed over to the police, who hide in tho dark places hoping to lay their heavy hands 011 the man in tho cloak. Up to date there have been no arrests although all sorts of stories are told. | Sonio relate that the cloak man,who was found to bo a resident, in disguise, was caught and so severely beaten that he had to be carried home. Another version of the story is that the resident dressed himself up in wo man's apparel and started out to put himself in the way of the cloakmau, by whom lie hoped to be accosted, in which event he iuteuded to thrash the follow within an inch of his lito. Tho story has it that the man fell into the hands of others searching for the cloakmau— was mistaken for him and so badly beaten that lie had to be car ried home. About 3000 Visit Capitol. The first of the "penny a mile" ex cursions was run to Harrisburg on Saturday and it is estimated by the Harrisburg papers that about 3000 per sons took advantage of the cheap rates to tako a look at the much talked of ; new capitol building. The threatening weather of Saturday morning was in strumental in keeping a number of peoplo away from Harrisburg. 111 tho capitol all day long the crowd kept coming and going, many of them remaining in the city until evening to see the dome illuminated. There were a number of guides and female attend ants to care for the sightseers and ev erybody went away satisfied. Gover nor Ponnypacker was not present,hav ing gono to his home at Peniiypackor Mills on Friday.

L. & W. roadbed at Berwick, near the new river bridge,has beeu on fire, and it is feared that the track will settle to such au extent that a new roadbed will have to be constructed. When the present roadbed was laid, culm from the mines was used as bal last, and several days ago this caught lire from the hot ashes from tho Ber wick steam plant. Since that time, despite the efforts of the track crew to put out tho tiro with water, it still continues to burn. The bridge com pany has a large amount, of its iron along the 1). L. & W. tracks, and in order to keop the heat out of the iron, which would render it useless, a force of men has been engaged both night and day to pour water over the iron until it can bo removed to a plaee of 1 safety.

Summons were issued to the D. L. & W. company a mouth or so ago, but owing to a technicality the action was dropped before tho hearing took place. In the interim following it is alleg od that the D.
