Sheriff Cott accompanied by Ira Cott of Dushore, on Wednesday re moved Roger Davis from the county jail to the Danville Insane Asylum.

The borough of Ilughesville has been made a plaintiff in a suit for damages. No statement has as yet been filed, anil the amount of {dam ages has not been set. The latter will depend on the outcome of the accident on whicn the suit is based. Mrs. Annie Plankenhorn of Muncy township, the plaintiff, is now in such serious condition, it is alleged, a-s a result of the accident, that her life is dispared of. It is claimed that her injuries were received in a fall due to tripping over a defective sidewalk. One of the most destructive that ever visited Laporte consumed the dry loft and the rolling depart ment of the Union Tanning Com pany's plant at this place Saturday morning. The fire was discovered by Eugene McNellon, between 2 and o'clock in the 'morning, near the pump and engine in the rolling room. Mr. McNellan and George Snyder were the only two persons at work about the tannery at the time. The night watchman had been tak en off about a week before to help till up the shortage of day hands. The flames had gained consider able headway before discovered and by the time the alarm whistle had aroused tlie residents of the neigh borhood and brought assistance to the scene, there was no possible chance to extinguish the fire. The task of removing hides from the building was commenced and sever al hundred were saved. The dry loft being separate and across the creek from the main building and tanning yard it was at 110 time in danger of destruction. The large quantity of oiled sides of leather made a remarkably large fire which burned fiercely and presented a spec tacular sight, lighting the surround ing hillsides to a clearness almost equaling daylight. It burned in this furious manner for over one hour, consuming over three hundred feet of structure and eleven thousand sides of leather. The aggregated loss is estimated at forty-four thous and dollars. The insurance was car ried by the Tanning Company's re serve fund and the loss is practically theirs. The plant was visited on Saturday by G. W. Childs, president of the Elk Tanning Co.; G. Beech, general 1 i I Jim Dumps was father of a lass I Who, by her brightness, led her A.

Ellinger, master mechanic, officers of the Union Tanning Co. Their directions were to have the place cleaned and putin condition to permit of another foundation should it de decided to rebuild. The matter will go before an advisory board ol directors in New York at an early date to determine whether the loft be rebuilt, or the tanned hides be shipped to some other near plant for finishing. It is estimated that there is sufficient bark in this vicinity to keep the tannery running for upwards of six years, and it is the general belief that a new struct ure will be erected. It even is re ported by some outsiders, who know uothing about it, that a much larger structure, modernly equipped, will take the place of the one destroyed. Work is continuing in the tannery at present. The cause of the fire is unknown. It is supposed to have been either of incendiary origin or caused by the electric lights.
