W. L HOLLOWAY CLAW BY DEATH William K. Holloway, a leading anil widely known resident of this city, passed away at 9:20 o'clock Thursday night. The cauße of death was pneu monia. On Tuesday morning he took a turn for the worse and from that date until the end came the case was devoid of hope. Death, therefore, was uot un expected. The deceased was a resident of Dan ville for about fifty years. He was born in Amityville, Berks county, on January 1,1835, and was, therefore, 72 years of age. In his younger days he worked on his father's farm, attend ing the public school of the rural dis trict in which he lived. At the age of 18 he sought a position in a store iu Reading, receiving tiiere a first-class training, which assisted him material ly in the more important and responsi ble positions that he was callei to fill later on. In 1856 Mr. Holloway came to Dau ville. He waß first employed as olerk in the store of the old Montour Iron company: he was later transferred to the dry goods department, whioh posi tion he retained one year. Just at that time the old firm was succeeded by Waterman & Beaver. Mr. Holloway was promoted to the position of time keeper and superintendent of accounts. Later lie was advanced to the more responsible position of cashier antl paymaster, in which capacity he serv ed for about 12 years, discharging his duties in a way that won the approval of his employers and reflected cedit upon himaelf In 1880 the store passed into the hands of Waterman & company, who subsequently Bold out to the P. & R- Goal & Iron oompany. After this change of ownership Mr. Holloway be came general manager of the entire business. April 1, 1887, the deceased, in com pany with W C. Frick and F. P. Howe, purchased the store and it was conducted under the firm name of Wil liam K. Holloway aud company. Three years later the deceased sold out his iuterest to W. C. Frick aud re tired from active business. Mr. Holloway never sought political distinction. lse, however, was elected as borough couatiilmau, to represent the third ward. He billed the office for three terms. He also fillet! an unexpir ed term as associate jndgo of Mon tour county, a position to which he was appointed by Governor Beaver. Mr. Holloway was a self-made man. His activity and enterprise were forces that helped to build up the great industry iu this city along with which our town grew and prospered. He was a man of strong mentality—an original and daring thinker. He was the soul of sincerity and hated sham and hypocrisy iu every form. Of him it might be said that iu its broadest sense he was a man with the courage of his convictions—independent enough to stand alone in his conclusions when he believed that he was right. He was fond of science and discovery. An om nivorous reader, he was familiar with the groat authors,past and present,and his mind was a storehouse of advanc ed knowledge. Iu 1859, Mr. Holloway was united in marriage to Ruth Yeager, daughter of Jacob Yeager, of Columbia county. Mrs. Holloway departed this life on December 21, 1901. The decoased is survived by two sous and two daugh ters: William D. and Dr. Thomas B. Holloway, Mrs. Eliazbeth Frick and Miss Mary Holloway. The children all resido in Danville with the excep tion of Dr. Thomas B. Holloway, who is a practicing physician iu Philadel phia. The funeral of Hon. William K. Holloway took place Monday after noon at 2 o'olock frcm the family resi dence on Bloom street. Rev. J. E. Hutchison conducted the services, and was assisted by Rev. Win. C. McOor mack. The pall bearers were Joseph R. Pattou, M. Grier Youngmau, Frank C. Angle, Jacob C. Miller, John H. Tooley aud J. C. Peifer. The following persons from out of town attended the funeral: W. B. Rhoads. of Richmond, Virginia; Dr. and Mre. Thomas B. Holloway, of Philadelphia; Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Yeager, of Forty Fort; Mr. and Mrs. Darius Yeager, of Plymouth 112 Mrs. Lew B. Crellin.of West Pittston ; Mrs. Laura Curry, of Mooresburg; Mrs. George Wrights, of Catawissa. SQUIRREL STORY. People interested iu tho squirrels which frisk in Capitol Park aud ex plore your pockets should clip this out and think over it. This is taken from a Chester county paper: "It has taken Fisk Goodyear, of Bnrchtown, Pa., two years to train his pet fquirrels, but his efforts are now repaid, and on Thanksgiving he treated his friends to a surprise. Gathering half a hundred r more gray squirrels, Mr. Goodyear taught them togo into the woods and pick np nuts, carrying them to his home. On Thanksgiving night at a dinner his guests noticed a small board running from a window to a nut bowl. The host gave one knock on the table with his knife. A squirrel hopped down the plank aud dropped a chestnut into the bowl. Two raps brought » sqnirrel with a walnut, threo knocks a ghellbark. Finally, a gray squirrel took his place aud cracked the nuts, winding up the performance by brush ing off the crumbs witli his thick, bnshy tail. Harrisburg Star-Inde pendent. GOVERNMENT AND ROADS. The Washington Observer remarks: "Representative government may have its drawbacks aud failures, but it is the only system which gives all the people an opportunity to have a choice iu the control and every township should make it its business to elect the best men to the office of super visor and create such Beutinient as will make it necessary for them to carry oat the most progressive and modern IdeM in tho Improvement aud construe tiun of tli« highways." LICENSE COIT ON JANUARY 25 License court will be held Friday, January 25th., at 10 o'clock a. m. A glance at the list reveals that includ ing hotels, wholesale liquor stores, brewers and bottlers, there are just 39 applications for license in Montour county this yoar. These are divided as follows: Dan ville—first ward, 10; second ward, 2; third ward, 17; fourth ward, 1; An thony township, 1; Derry township,2; Liberty township,l: Valley township, 3: Washingtouville, 2. The applications for lioense run nearly the same year after year. Last year there were 40 applications. There is one less this year owing to the fact, that Peter Dietrich's place on Upper Mulberry street has dropped out. The opinion is entertained by many that it will never bo a licensed house again. The only other change is occasioned by the removal of J. T. Find ley's whole sale liuuor store from the first ward |to the third ward, which this year i gives the first ward one less applica | tiou and the third ward one more than | last year. j Altogether there are twenty-six ho -1 tels, and restaurants in Danville, for which application is made. Only four are restaurants. There are two brew ' eries, and two wholesale liquor stores included iu the list of applications. Italian Laborers Reported Coming Charles Battaglia, the well kuown Italian padrone, who was here Satur day, is the authority for the statement that Danville's Italian population is to be increased many times over dur ing the next few days. He stated that during the present week lie would bring 35 or 40 of the sous of Sunny Italy now at Berwick to Dauville to work at the mills, where there is a scarcity of labor. Accord ing to his story the Italians will take up their quarters ou Northumberland street. Should things taru out as described, in a short tiuie Danville may have a nucleus of a foreign quarter that might be a rival of some of our neigh boring towns. There are not a few Hungarians and Poles already on the ground and these suffice to make things pretty lively at times. .About all that is needed now is a score or so of healthy Italians to introduce all the elements of disorder that are needed to make the foreign quarter a menace to the rest of the town. It is not too much to hope, however, that those who come to Danville may not belong to the class that has given Berwick a reputation for lawlessness and blood shed. Our town has long enjoyed an im muuity from lawlessness of that type and our population has been pointed out as being more purely American than is to be found in any other sec tion of the State. If foreigners are brought here, with all that is implied by such an influx, it is clear that they come as the result of industrial condi tions and because they aro needed to keep the wheels of industry moving. Modern flllling Machinery. The llaney-Fraz er Milling company of Danville, Pa., have awarded their contract for one of the finest 100 barrel flour mills iu the country to the Allis Chalmers company, of Milwaakee, through their salesman Wade Wilson, New Brighton, Pa. The Allis Chalm ers Co. are one of the largest flour mill builders in the world and have built the majority of the largest flour mills iu the northwest as well as iu Buffalo, N. Y , New York Ci'.y, Phil adelphia aud other prominent milling points. The Haney-Frazier Co. will have the same line of machinery aud system that is used in the large mills aud will be able to make the very highest grades of both winter and spriug wheat flour wilich can compete with tlie best that is made anywhere. The mill will be complete in every detail having the latest up-to-date Allis rolls, universal bolters with vibro-motor drives, purifiers, dust col lectors wheat cleaning machinery and flour packers. They also have a very fine arrangement for making the finest grades of corn meal for family use and also feeds for farmers. There is every convenience for handling grain in the most economical way, saving labor and power. FIiIOTION IN LEBANON. Lebanon is another State town in which friction exists between the chief magistrate and the couucilnien. Mayor Weimer seems to have reached the limits of his patience aud public ly charges, as we learn from the Le banon Evening Report, "members Of city councils with refusing to co-op erate with him for a business admin istration of Lebanon affairs." He also declares that they have treated pre vious official communications with such flagrant discourtesy that lie has omitted to seud them hisanuual mess age this year. He adds that unless steps are taken to correct the unsan itary condition of a portion of the water supply he will invoke the aid of the State authorities. Oscar Alexander Suffered Stroke. Oscar Alexander, of Bloomsburg, a member of the well known firm of Alexander Brothers & company, whole sale dealers in tobacco and confection ary,suffered a slight stroke of paralysis Saturday morning. His right arm and speech are effected. Mr. Alexander is well known in this city. Doctor Leased House. Dr. Hoffa lias rented for the term of five years the new and beautiful resi dence built by the late Dr. Donliam, at Benton. Tho home was especially built for a physiciau aud is not only beautiful but complete in every detail. Dr. Hoffa will move iu the residence April Ist. Seedless Apples. George Keefer, of Washiugtonville, has accepted the agency for a New York nursery, and among the many varities of he will handle will be an apple tree bearing fruit without core or seeds. I DRIVE THE HOBOS OM OF TOWN While the tramp uuisanse affords a problem that Snubary is trying in vain to solve and all our neighboring towns are harassed by the pestiferous Willies, it is a fact which is causing much comment that it is the exception rather than the rule to see a hobo per ambulating the streets of Danville. This, it is true, is a state of affairs that has been brought about compara tively recently, as the day was when Dauville had its full quota of tramps to contend with. They appeared on the streets early and they staid all day ; at night they threw themselves upon the mercy of the borough and were given the freedom of the lockup—were kept warm by the borougli coal and in the morning were turned loose, when they proceeded to "do" the town over again. The result of all this was— more tramps. The chief of police then adopted a strict policy of expulsion. At the first sight of an individual who bore the "ear marks" of a Willie the officers did not wait for further evidence; the fellow had to give a good account of himself or pass onto the next field. For some mouths following the prin cipal diversion of our police force was chasing hoboes out of town. About all tl at was required, how ever, was to overhaul tiie fellows, tell them what was in store for them, af ter which they usually went without an escort. As a result of this policy the hoboes became fewer and for mouths past the appearance of one of these picturesque wayfarers on our Btreete has beeu an iucideut far enough out of the ordinary to be relished as a diversion. It is safe to assume that those towns whioh are infested with this driftwood of humanity are to blame for it them selves. It doesn't require very good treatment to attract a tramp ; all he asks for is a field to work iu. Let that field be closed to the tramps and to ev erything that looks like a tramp—let the officers prove unrelenting and "hustle them on"and all the rest will be easy. The hobo lias not been wand ering up and down the land for noth ing and he has learned where the "easy" places are. To illustrate, iu nine cases out of ten when a hobo is driven out of Dan ville lie inquires the way to Sunbury and the last seen of him he is trudg ing over the hills iu that direction. A Fine Exhibition. The second presentation of the gym nastic exhibition at the Y. M. 0. A. was the occasion for auother crowded house Saturday night, and the enter tainment went oft' with the finished precision that marked the first produc tion on Friday night. All who saw the exhibition were loud iu their praise of the work done by the members of the different class es. Probably the most surprise was oc casioned by the fine work done by the class of girls, fewer of the people be ing acquainted with this feature of the Association's effort. The little ladies at their different appearances on the program were loudly applauded. Much of the credit for the success of the entertainment is due to Mr. A ins wroth, the physical director, whose untiring efforts and thorough capabil ities were easily discernible in each carefully prepared and well rendered number on the program. Mr. A ins worth was ably assisted by the faith ful members of his classes, who are de serving of a sharo of praise for their hard work during tho mouths of pre paration. fllssionary Entertainment JA missionary entertainment, under the auspices of the young ladies' mis sionary society, of the United Evan gelical church, wa.s held at the resi dence of Miss Euphemia Prentiss,Rail road street, Saturday evening last. The program consisted of graphophone and instrumental music, recitations, vocal selections, etc. Those present were: Misses Ruth Dietz, Sarah Deibert, Louise Fuller, Bertha Fausnaught, Ella Fausuauglit, Lizzie Hartman.Olara Hartman, Helen Kelly, Louise Kelly, Olive and Cora Smick, Mamio.Lucy and Sarah' Price, Katie Wertruau,Maggie Willit,Martha Minsker, Hattie Wilt, Isabel Smidley, Mrs. Lizzie Willit, and Mrs. Lizzie Snyder; Messrs. .Tohu Keasler, Joe Weaver, Sidney Riley, William Hart man, Harry Wilt, Milliard Minsker, Roy Woolridge, Will Ranck, John Moweiy, Clinton and Frank Willit, Charles Kear.John Riley and William Prentiss. GRIP TREATMENT. In the treatment of grip nearly all doctors advise against the use of whis ky and quinine, whioli is such a fav orite for colds. Alcoholic liquors of any kind are supposed to increase, rather than decrease, the activity of the grip germ. Here are some in fluenza rules whichJPhiladelphia phy sicians have compiled : Avoid riding in cold, damp, trolley cars. Avoid all unnecessary exposure in inclement weather. Avoid sudden changes from warmth to cold without being properly clad. Keep the feet day. Don't associate witii persons who have the grip. By alt neaus, keep children,old per sons. and invalids away from grip patients. Avoid mingling in orowds. Disinfect all rooms that have been occupied by grip patients. Avoid exhaustion. Keep the system in the best possi ble condition. Comment from Scranton. Commenting on the statements re cently made concerning the overcrowd ed condition of tho State hospitals,the Scranton Republican snys: "From al over the State of Pennsylvania rumors of evils chiefly resulting from over crowding are heard, and if reform is needed no better time than the pre sent can be named for correcting the abuses. The treasury is full enough to prevent the poverty-stricken, afflicted charges of the Stato from suffering more than their own condition com pels. It is a disgrace to the Common wealth that the herding, such as is re ported iu Danville, should continue." List of Applications for License In Montour County at January Session, 1907.

RICHARD M'CORMICK GETS JNE YEAR Richard McCormick. charged with impersonating an officer and extorting money and valuables from three farm er boys ou the night of April 7th last, was found guilty Tuesday and was sentenced to the county jail for one year. His case was given to the jury about 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. At 10:80 the twelve men roturned with » ver dict of guilty, as in manner aud form indicted but recommeudiug the de fendant to the mercy of the court. Judge Evans called McCormick be fore him. In reply to a question from the court he stated that he was 28 years of age. He admitted that he was in jail once before, for fighting, the other party being an elderly man, who, McCormick urged, struck the first blow. Judge Evans reminded him, however, that the present was a poor time to justify his oonduct aud pro ceeded to pass seuteuce, first inform ing McCormick that he could impose the full penalty of three years iu the penitentiary, but that he would heed the recommendation of the jury for clemency. The sentence of the court was : That Richard McCormick pay the costs of prosecution, a fine of SIOO and undergo imprisonment in the county jail for one year, the time to be com puted from the present date. SUTTON DESERTION CASE. About 10 o'clock the case of Com monwealth vs. Charles Sutton was at tached, the charge being desertion. No jury was called. Sutton having plead ed guilty to the charge before Justice of the Peace Dalton. Mrs. Jennie Sut ton, wife of the defendant, was called to the stand, however, aud permitteu to tell her story. They were married, site said, December 31, 1901, aud lived together for five years, until the 4th 1 of November last, when Sntton left for parts unknown accompanied by his wife's sister. Since he left her he has contributed ouly two dollars for his wife's support, which he gave her since he has beeu in jail and a por tion of which was to bo expeuded for his own bouefit. Sutton aud his wife aro without children. Tlie™defendaut during his wife's testimony sat laughing aud seemed to treat the whole matter very lightly. Judge Evuus ordered him to arise aud reprovingly reminded him that lie seemed to "regard the proceedings as very funny." Suttou quickly stated that such was not the case and his mauuer changed. He admitted that he had failed to support his wife, but stated that it was bocause she refused togo where he wauted to live,and had goue to her parents home. His excuse lost some of its weight,however,when it was shown that Sutton had gone aloug with his wife to share the hos pitality of her parents' home. The sentence of the court was: That Charles Sutton pay the costs of prosecution aud pay to his wife, Jen ; nie Suttou, the sum of three dollars per week as support, the payments to be made weekly, the defendant, to eu ter into recoKuizance iu the sum of SBOO aud to staud committed until the | sentence of the court is complied with. Suttou was taken back to jail and at last accounts was still behind the bars, having not yet found a bouds man. The case of Commonwealth vs. J. H. Ethworth, Samuel Dnumoyer aud W. E. Peusyl was attached jnst before noon. The defendants, who are charg ed with "conspiring to steal a horse," were brought down from jail by Sheriff Williams aud Deputy Maiers, Ethworth and Dunmoyer being hand cuffed together. Hon. H. M. Hiuckley 1 is on the case as private counsel for the prosecution. Ralph Kisner repres ents J. H. Ethworth aud William Kase West all three of the accused. A jury was selected when court adjourn ed to reconvene at 1:30 o'clock. The first wituess called was John Wardrop, liverystable keeper of Sha mokin, of whom Ethworth hired a horse and carriage. When the party re turned after the visit to J. M. Vought, about midnight, they had with them two additional horses, one of them a fine gray horse. William E. Peusyl was with the party aud boasted of the fine horse, which "they" had bought, calling attention to the grey. Elmer Haas of the Girard hotel, Shamokin, knows all three of the de fendants and swore they had been drinking together at his place the Sat urday before the transaction. Constable William Taby of Shamok in, who arrested the defendant, proved an important witness. He said that Peusyl had voluntarily admitted his connection with this case. He told the constable that he had taken Ethworth over to J. M. Vought's; also that he had been drinking with him on Satur day aud Sunday previously. The con stable swore that after the arrest at Steeltou Ethworth admitted that they had purchased the horse of Madison Vought aud had given him a bogus check iu paymeut. He, however, in sisted that William E. Peusyl was im plicated iu the affair aud that "he was the main guy." He was insistent in this aud said that Peusyl Bliould be made to nuswer along with them. J. Madison Vought, the victim of the alleged conspiracy, was the next witness. On Monday evening, October 14, Ethworth aud Dunuioyer, accom anied by William E. Peusyl, he swore, came to his premises and said they wanted to buy a horse. Peusyl in troduced Ethworth, whom he repre sented to Mr. Vought as a successful business man of Sunbury. Pensyl ex plained that Ethworth did business on a large scale and had use for a num ber of horses, which he had been iu the habit of purchasing from William Geist of Ralpho township. Iu these deals, however, Ethworth had got the worst of the bargain and Pensyl, in order to help him out, had directed him to Mr. Vought, ,as a man from whom he could expect a square deal. Pensyl said that he did a great deal of business, with Ethworth, delivering goods in Shamokin aud could recom mend him. Mr. Vought took the men to the barn, where they selected the horse they wauted, which was one for which the owner demanded $176. After some dickering Mr. Vouglit decided to ac cept $l7O for the horse. Iu payment he was given a check on the Sliamokin Banking company, which was subsequ ently round to be worthless. No such a name as the one in tiie check appear ed among the depositors of the bank. Mr. Vought was quite insistent that he accepted the check on the state ment of Ethworth, backed up by Pensyl's recommendation, which was to the effect that Ethworth was a re sponsible business man of Sunbury. He finally recovered the home,in fair ly good condition. Irvin Orumbaoh, ohief-of-police of Steelton, who arrested the defendants, Ethworth and Dunmoyer was sworn. Ethworth iu Steelton went under the name of Walter. The conduct of both Ethworth and Dunmoyer while in Steelton was suspicious, which first at tracted the chief-of-police's attention to them. William Heist, the horse dealer of Ralpho township, Northumberland county, upon the stand denied that he ever sold a horse to Ethworth or had dealings with him. George E. Hummell, constable of Tower City, was called. He found that ' Ethworth and Dunmoyer had a valu- j able gray horse concealed iu a little obscure stable, ÜBed mostly to shelter a cow. The constable entered the stable and there found Ethworth and j Dunmoyer with the horse. The horse 1 was offered for $35. The constable j watched the movements of the defend I ants and concluded that they were try- 1 iug to get the horse away, when ho I decided to take the animal in charge. I Ethworth and Dunmoyer escaped, al- i though the constable secured the horse, which the men had left in the hands of Jack Shale. A. C. Vought and Isaac Clark, a neighbor, also testifled,corroboratiug the evidence of J. M. Vought. E. M. McDonald,warden of the jail ! in Sunbury, was called to the stand, i He testified that Ethworth,to the best ; of his knowledge, was never iu the ■ green grocery business iu Sunbury. Up to September 27, he was in jail iu Northumberland county, awaiting trial. Incidentally, he explained, that ■ the grand jury ignored the bill and that Ethworth—who there was known as Frank Rambler,—was never tried. J. W. Oearhart, the justice before j whom the information was made, was the next witness. He swore that when ' i the defendants appeared at the hearing I and he put to them the question of ' "guilty or not guilty" they admitted j i that their intention was to obtain the ' i horse with the bogus check. They in- j criminated Pensyl, who they stated i had advised them to "sling their pap er" and if there was any trouble he would make it good, as he had prop erty. At 4 o'clock the Commonwealth rest -1 ed and W. Kase West opened for the defense. He said it would be proven that there was no conspiracy—that Pensyl was merely employed to drive 1 Ethworth and Duumoyer to the farm j of J. M. Vought, who was induced to ' part with hiß horse for a bogus cherk ' by Ethworth. | J. H. Ethworth was the first of the I defendants called to the stand iu his j 1 own defense. He said that his home is in Baltimore, that he is 30 years of age and that lie is unmarried. He explain ed how lie fell iu with William E. Pensyl, who, he declared, hail no iu terest in the trip beyond what he was to receive for taking them out in search for a horse, which was the sum of S3. In cross-examination he made a sweeping denial, whenever he was con fronted with tacts testified to by Com monwealth's witnesses that did not agree with his testimony. His inten tion, he said, was not to defraud J. M. Vought—that he had nearly enough money iu his pocket at that time to pay for the horse. When he gave the check, he said, it was his intention to deposit money iu the bank to meet it. bnt that he discovered that the horse was not as represented and so he took the animal to Tower City and left him there. He denied that he abandoned the horse because the officer was hot on his trail. Dunmoyer next took the stand. He is a young inau with an artificial hand. He denied the Commonwealth's witnesses and told a story, to exculpate himself and to corroborate Ethworth. Walter Pensyl, sou of William E. Pensyl, a rather handsome youug man of 21 years, was the next witness. It was he, he said, who first fell in with Ethworth and told a story to show that his father was not a party to the alleg ed conspiracy. William E. Pensyl, himself,was the uext witness. He made many denials contradiotiug J. M. Vought and oth ers in essential points to show that he was not a party to a conspiracy to de fraud Mr. Vought,but had beeu mere ly employed by Ethworth to take them on a drive across the country in quest of horses. Mrs, Pensyl was called as the last witness by the defense. She described Ethwortli's visit to their house, when he engaged her husbaud to drive tlieni out in the country. Justice Gearhart was recalled iu re buttal. He swore that Ethworth.when asked whether he was guilty or □it guilty, said that he told Peusyl that they wanted to buy a cheap horse and | that Peusyl told them that he would I take them to a place where they couul get a horse for nothing—that all they would have to do would be to "sling their paper" and if there was any trouble he would muke it good, us lie had property. If they didn't succeed there, Pensyl told them, they could get a horse at his uncle Will's, as he, Pensyl, "had it iu for him, anyway." J. M. Vought was also recalled He testified that Ethworth said that "Peusyl was the whole thiug. " He also corroborated Justice Gearhart in the evidence he gave in rebuttal. The case was given to the jury yesterday morniug. MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS. Iu re-estate of Johu McWilliams the return of sale was confirmed nisi.
