' Sold Rags to a Junk Dealer and Among Them Was $87.37 Through the efforts of Guy Hol- lon, Towanda's well known com stable, Mrs. Byron Bennett of Overton, recovered a sum of mona- ey yesterday which had parted from her possession in a most un- usual manner, The other day a junk dealer went to Mrs. Bennett's home at Overton and bought a quantity of rags. After the deal was made the dealer took the rags to New Albany for shipment. Af- ter he had departed Mrs, Bennett discovered that $87.37, which she bad in the house was missing Then she began to do some think ing. She knew that the money was in the house before the junk dealer came, and also that it was not there after ‘he had departed. She did not acuse him of stealing the money, but she conncted its disappearance with the rags which she had sold. So strong was her belief that the money had in some manner got mixed up with the rags she decided to tell her trou bles to Mr. Hollon. Accordingly she went to Towanda and made him acquainted with the circum- stances. After hearing her story Mr. Hollon decided that the money was among the rags, and he im mediately set out to intercept the car in which they had been ship- ped. He learned that the car went north over the Lehigh and that it would pass through the Sayre yards, Accordingly yesterday af terday afternoon he came to Sayre oa train No. 1, and immediately went to Superintendent Kinney, from whom he secured an order to have the car stopped here, Early last evening the car arrived in Sayre. Mr, Hollon showed his order to John R Drugan, the yard master, and the two proceeded to make an investigation of its con teats, The car contained a con- siderable quantity of junk, and at first it looked like a hopeless task. After carefully searching for some time they came upon an old file, around which was wrapped an old newspaper. The paper was re- moved and underneath was the missing money, The bills had been placed over them to conceal their presence. Mr. Hollon took possession of the money and will return it to Mrs. Bennett today. The finding of the money was without doubt due to the prompt action of Mr. Hollon, and Mrs. Bennett is de- serving of praise for being sensible enough to place the matter in the hands of a man skilled in work of this character. FISH WARDEN NOTIFIED Attorney Paul E. Maynard and G. S. Parker went to Smithboro this morning at 3 o'clock. They launched a boat in the Susquehanna at that place and will float down the stream until they reach Sayre. When they lef Sayre both men were laden with fishing tackle, from which it is inferred that they have mercinary designs on the finny tribe, which abounds in the placid waters of the Susquehanna, It is said that a dray will meet the boat when it lands at Sayre this cvening. In the meantime the fish warden has been notified. YESTERDAY'S STORM The hail storm which struck Sayre yesterday afternoon did not do as much damage as was at first feared. The storm was not general in its character, and therefore but little territory was affected. There was no hail at Atheas and but little at Waverly, The storm, however, is said to have passed down the Chemung valley and did consider- able damage to late tobacco, The Record acknowledges the receipt of an invitation to attend Rail Feil on Left Leg and Ampu- tation May Be Necessary Fred Dutton, a Lehigh Valley section hand, who resides at Van Etten, met with a serious injury near that place this morning which may cost him his left leg. Shortly after the men went to work this morning it was found necessary to cut a nail in two, In order to per form this operation the rail is first cut with a chisel at the desired point. Then several men at each end lift the rail in the air and then it is allowed to fall on another rail. Dutton was assisting in the work and when the rail fell it struck his left leg below the knee, mutilating the member in a frightful manner and breaking the bones to splinters, He was sent to this place on a switch engine and upon. arriving here at once removed to the hos pital. The physicians at the hospital will try and save the injured leg, but the chances are rather doubtful. — PERSONAL MENTION E. D. Adamy was in Powell yes- terdap on business, ' Attorney C. C.

The giftis NEEDLESS ANETY Editor Valley Recond : It seems a pity not to allay the needless anxiety occasioned by the presence of the “Leper car” in with this truly loathsome disease, happily endemic in our day, we ourselves, and a greater pity for the poor unfortunate who caused this widespread alarm. Nor are the researches of modern science necessary to acquaint us with its nature. The Mosaic law concern- ing it was given ‘‘ to teach when it is unclean and when it is ‘clean: this is the law of leprosy.” Lev. xiv: §7. It is noteworthy that the law was given centuries before the germ theory was formulated, or fumigation as preventative of con- tagion was even dreamed of, and yet so perfect was the law that it provided against any possible in- fection as ¥ffectually as scientific methods today. Most of the medieval superstis tions concerning it, relics of the days when it raged as an epidemic through Europe, have passed away, Itis no longer considered contagious by the experts who have made this subject their spe- cialty. Itiseven now declared to be a curable disease. True, it is an infectious one, but the infection can only be communicated when it is in what is known as the “period- ically eruptive stage” in advanced cases or according to the law, Lev. xiii: 14, “When raw flesh appear- eth in him, he sha!! be unclean.” Even in this stage, unless the in- fection is received into a cut or sore of a persor whose * general health is at the time impaired, one need have no fear. Any skepti- cism on this point is convincingly silenced by the reports of the Leper Colony on the St. Lawrence, where none of the nurses caring lor the worst cases have ever con- tracted the disease, owing to the simple precaution of wearing rub- ber gloves when handling a patient, and the proper sterilization or fumigation of all articles contam inated by the sores. None of the physicians quoted by the press who examined this particular leper, pronounced it an unclean case, notwithstanding the terrified rumors to the contrary, but better were ten thousand pre- cautions, than the risk of a single case of any preventable disease, be it leprosy, smallpox, diphtheria or typhoid, Certainly the notorius car should be fumigated, if only to show the railroad's interest in the public's welfare. Common cents will purchase what little sulphur is needed, and a few coals of fire will complete the good work. Let some of the fearful pass the hat, nor forget that silence is also golden, “DEVIL'S ISLAND" The big scenic production billed by Mitchell's All Star Players will be presented tonight at Oak Grove park and will not be repeated dur ing their engagement here. The house will undoubtedly be crowded tonight. Secure seats early and avoid the rush. James Clohessy, chief of the fire department at Waverly, stated this morning that he would bring fiv® companies to Sayre on the day of the firemen's parade, The Boy's band will accompany them, and it is probable that the Nichols band will also be engaged. 70c to Towanda and Return The Lehigh Valley Railroad will is- sue tickets to Towanda and return from Sayre at above named low fare, account Bradford County Fair, Sept. 35-38.
