DESIGNATION OF RUSH YERRICK He Resigns His Position After Nearly a Half Century of Service. After 47 years of continuous service, Rush Yerrick, the boss roller in the 16- iuch mill at the Heading Iron works,lias tendered his resignation to take ellect on November Ist. The Reading company are loath to part with his services as he is regarded as a skilled workman in his line, and a man to be depended on in the conscien tious performance of his duty. Mr. Yerrick left school at the age of 16 togo in the mill, which was then un der the Allen management, and consist ed only of what is known as the old puddle mill and the large and small rail mills. These departments are now the 20-inch and the 16-iuch mills. His first employment consisted of "dragging out" in the puddle mill, filling the position of catcher on the puddle rolls. From this work he went to the puddle furnaces, first as a helper and after awhile taking charge of a furnace. His next position was that of a "rougher" on the large rail rolls. The mill at this time was a large factor in the manufacture of iron rails, this city being known as one of the greatest iron centres in the country. There were no railroads running into this city at the time and the product was shipped entirely by boat. At this period the company received an order from the Denver and Kio Grande railway for 8000 tons of small rails, and Mr. Yerrick was placed in charge of the 16-inch train as roller to turn out the work. He was retained in the small rail department and has serv ed there ever since. He has been the boss roller for nearly 25 years,aDd when the mill was in operation haß lost but little time except when ill. Mr. Yerrick has been the victim of several bad accidents the worst of which was the boiler explosion of a few years ago. The mill changed hands four times during his service, going from the Allen management into the hands of Grove Brothers. Messrs. Waterman and Beav er then took hold, the firm changing its name later onto the Montour Iron and Steel Company. It was sold several years ago to the Heading Iron Company who have since retained it. The employes speak of Mr. Yerrick in the highest terms and are sorry to see him go, but like the company, they think he has well earned the rest and ease of a retired life. He retires in good physical condition and is full of anec dote in regard to the history of the plant. Vote for Huth for Congress. Robbery in South Danville- The home of Wallace Hoover in South Danville was entered by burglar* Mon day night. The thieves gained an en trance through the kitchen windows and ransacked the entire house. Bureau drawers and closets were opened and no places neglected where valuables might have been found. The full extent of the loss cannot be ascertained as Mr. and Mrs. Hoover are on a trip through the West. The house has been in charge of Mrs. Eliza Bird during the absence of the family. So far as she knows the only things missing are several sheets, a can of lard,some groceries and a clothes bask et. The silver-ware has not been found and it is thought that perhaps it was put away along with other valuables prior to the departure of Mr. and Mrs. Hoover. A clothes basket is not an article worth stealing but the general opinion in South Danville seems to be that it was well filled before the miscreants left the premises. The noiseless and easy access to the Hoover residence leads to the belief that the burglars were very familiar with the building and surroundings. Sheriff David Kuckel sounds well. Elect him and you will have a man in office that is worthy of the honor. Former Pastor Occupied Pulpit. Rev. J. W. Steinmetz, D. D., of Bead ing, occupied the pulpit of Shiloh Re formed church Sunday, preaching two most earnest and practical sermons. He was greeted by large congregations of his old parishioners and friends, who not only greatly enjoyed the pleasure of again listening to him, but also to grasp his hand. Dr. Steinmetz was a former resident of this city, having served the Reformed church as its pastor. When he tirst took charge of the con gregation, thirty eight years ago it was a weak mission of the Reformed church, without a church edifice Within three years after his assuming the pastorate, it had become self-supporting, and the present church building was finished, al though it has since been remodeled. After a successful pastorate of four teen years he removed to Reading, where he has since resided. A Serenade. About two dozen members of thePenn Social club gently reminded William Black last evening that he had been mar ried and that they knew it, in spite of that gentleman's attempt at secrecy. Everything out of which an exasperat ing noise could be squeezed was brought into play and the fire works were seen all over the town. The boys were agree ably entertained for about half an hour by Mr. and Mrs. Black in their new home on Vine street. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

The first session of the night school Monday night created much interest and long before the hour set for the opening of the Third ward school, a crowd of boys and girls congregated about the front door waiting eagerly to gain ad mittance into the building. At 7:30 the doors were thrown open and there was a rush made for the room and Principal Ream had great difficulty in keeping order. It was not long before every seat in the room was filled and thirteen pup ils were compelled to remain standing. It was expected that fully 30 pupils would take advantage of the evening session but the Board of Education did not figure on the big rush that attended last evening. Seventy-two seats had been placed in the room and they were soon filled. After quiet was restored a careful count showed 85 persons pres ent. The children lucky enough to get in the room represented all grades of our schools running from the third grade to the high school. Children also came there utterly unprepared to attend the session. It is said that the big attendance at the session Monday nigat was due to the fact that the holding of the night school was an innovation and that as soon as the novelty wears off and those 111 at tendance become aware that they will have to apply themselves to their stud ies, the attendance may not be so large. Nothing was done in the way of teach ing and the entire evening was devoted to grading. Montour county will have some very important interests before the leg islature this winter and it is very nec essary to have an experienced repre sentative at Harrisburg to care for these interests, one who can he a real help to the county. Hon. Jas. Foster has the experience and the ability to render excellent service and he should be elected by a good majority. Washington Hose Horse. Friday afternoon an exhibition was given by the members of Washington Hose company of the running qualities of their new horse. The affair occurred on Market sfeet,between Mill and Pine streets and was witnessed by a good sized crowd of citizens. The horse is yet green as to the duties involved upon him in the lire depart ment but he responded to the words of the driver in a manner that demonstrat ed his good qualities as a lire horse, and one that would soon learn the tricks of the business. His running, when it is taken into consideration that he was pulling a brand new hose wagon loaded down with fire boys, was unusually good and although unsteady and inclined to swerve while in motion, the animal with a little practice should round into form. The introduction of this valuable ad dition to our department is certainly an innovation and the members of the Washington Hose company ought to feel proud of their outfit. With good care and a little persever ance the Washington horse will at tain those qualities that make the horses of the city departments not only a pet of the department but a valuable ac quisition to the city. John (i. Brown of Danville, who is running for Register and Recorder, is worthy of the support of all voters re gardless of party affiliations. Good Lecture Monday Evening. The lecture given by Miss Stevenson, Principal of the Ashville Industrial School for Girls, at Ashville, N. 0., in the Sunday school room of the Mahon ing Presbyterian church Monday night, was attended by a big crowd there be ing nearly 200 people present. Miss Stevenson was secured by the Woman's Missionary Society of the church to give a lecture on the school and the people of that section of North Carolina who are known to the world as the mountain white people. She ex plained in every detail the history of this class of people in whose domain she holds a position as chief instructor in the Industrial school and alluded to them as the Scotch-Irish class who had taken up their abode between the Tenn essee ami North Carolina mountains. Miss Stevenson illustrated a portion of her lecture after she had finished speaking by photographs of the interior and exterior of the Ashville school and the inmates and also of the country. Junior Basket Ball Team. The Danville Junior Basket Ball team was organized Friday evening with John Barry as captain.

MR DDI'S PLAYED WELL In the Game of Foot Bt.ll Saturday—A Very Exciting Game. "Are they easy—well, we guess. For Saturday's contest was only atest; Milton's game was a hard one to stop. But we have discovered their weak spot. Wait until we meet them at Milton this week. We'll smash their line for several hundred feet; But regarding the score, we'll not have much to say. Only, that Danville can trust the boys of the D. H. 8. A. A." V Danville, 0; Milton, 0. The above tells the tale of the finest game of foot ball ever seen on the local gridiron. It was a game of foot ball from the start and the local boys deserve much credit for their excellent showing. The game did not give a fair idea of the team's real playing ability, still there was encouragement in the fact that the boys were able to make ground easi ly on certain plays which have hitherto seldom failed to result in a loss. The handling of the ball seemed to be much better, although there was the presence of many fumbles, which will be over come with a little more practice. There is no doubt that the team was much stronger than when it lined up with Catawissa on October 13th. Half-back Maiers received the plaudits of the spectators by his superb tackle ing. He gets into the game as hard aa he knows how, and all the mistakes he makes are generally from being over zealous. The interference of Danville was good, although a few weak points were notice able in the line,which were expected. A little more practice and these defects will be overcome. The career of the local punters is bright, and hereafter good results may be beard from their playing. Fully three hundred people witnessed the contest Saturday and tbey were re paid for attending. Milton was slow in getting to the gridiron and jt was 3:45 before they appeared. Milton won the toss and chose the west goal, giving Danville the ball.
