A son has arrived at the home of Councilman William Deutsch on Water street A month of variable weather, mostly of miki temperature, is predicted. Game is being thinned out rapidly an 1 the hunter* season will be short. The brick work on the new annex at the Water Works ia nearly completed. The Thanksgiving period is now near at hand, and the proper way to observe it ia to make somebody happy. Chicken thieves are again at work in thia section. A shot gun heavily loaded may be used toinumnlste iLewr riw«l« , The days are getting unpleasantly short. Now ia the season when complaints | about gas bills are in order The Pennsylvania Railroad Company ia about to change its schedule, adjust ing it for the winter, but whatever changes it may make, it is wife to say that they will all be for the accommoda tion of the traveling public. This great ruad ia always on the watch for any thing that will make matters comfort able for it* patrons. That dreadful disease diphtheria is prevailing to a great extent in many sections of the state. Basket I*ll and indoor sports are re turning to favor with the waning of the foot ball season. A religious census will be taken in tsunbury on Thanksgiving Day. An increased attendance is noticed at all the Sunday Schools. Christmas is coming. Already local politicians are casting around for candidates for borough of fice*. Steady rain for a week will 1* needed to fill the streams and moisten the earth sufficiently before winter sets in. Shooting matches will soon afford fun and amusement for sports throughout the county. The hunter who mistakes another hunter for game has been unusually ac tive this fall. Hens are wearing feathered oollarett ! •sand taking a needed rest. They seem ! to be relying upon turkeys, geese and docks to claim the attention of hungry maws from now on until after Thanks giving. Maybe they are right in doing ao—but hen eggß are wanted all the ! time. The first real touch of winter weHther makes you ask yourself what you did with last summer's earnings, and sends you on a still hunt for the ticket which •alls for your overcoat, doesn't it? During the past few months painters have been busily employed in all direc tions bnruishiug residential exteriors and revealing- that people are putting out money in worthy improvements. Prof. F. J. Ross, of Willismsport, will ■oon open a Dancing Academy in this city. The Grier building on Mill street is being re painted. The extensions demanded for 'hi- lines of the Montour A Columbia Telej hone Company are coming in so rapidly that the erection force cmi not keep pace with the demands.

Umbert conducted the op ening devotional exercises yeaterday morning. Dr. Darst c-utinued his talks on pe-l agogy, speaking of the four stages of uiruul gtuwtii, whwli h«- « ob servation, or the acquirement of know- : le«lge; assimilation, or the arrangement of knowledge into systems; expression, or teaching other»; and application, «>r putting knowledge into practice. Miss Welsh, of the Bloomsburg Nor mal school, spoke on reading, urging teachers to give more attention to ex- j pression. She said that many children read poorly because teachers fail to rec- i ognize the importance of the subject and l»ecause tbev lack the appreciation j of the literature- Mia# Welsh then gave a recitation. Miss followed with a talk on i primary reading urging that language j woik should precede the reading, and that these studies should be used to correct the errors in the language of children. Dr. Darst closed the forenoon session with a talk on poetry. Heal poetry, he said is in the heart, and written poetry j is siuiply its expression in words. Miss Pat ridge occupied the first period of the afternoon session, with another | talk on language. This subject should | be taught, she said, so as to develop the j powers of the individual in the way of | expressing thought and pupils should write language lessons so as to obtain practice in the art of writing and then they should correct their own errors. Dr. Darst delivered another address on literature, devoting himself to a de scription of the different kinds of poetry, giving illustrations of each and quoting freely from familiar poems that come under each class. Miss Welsh closed the afternoon ses sion with a talk on elocution, the ele ments of which she classified as force, | time, pitch, quality, stress, inflection . and volume. She described the <lifler [ ent kinds of each of these elements, i illustrating the manner in which they 1 should be used and taught. The ele. ■ ments of stress, she said, should never | be u'-ed in teaching small children. The only evening lecture during the I Institute will be delivered in the lliuh school room this evening, when Dr. Darst will deliver a public lecture on"I, the Heir of All the Ages " Dr. Darst, by his interesting talks on literatuie and pedagogy,has proven himself a deep student and a pleading speaker, and it is believed that this lecture will be high . ly entertaining and instructive.

Camp Five witnesses were sworn before the adjournment of <x»tirt. They were Sup erintendent Theodore F. Patterson, Robert Heed, Lew is Morgan, l-evvis Will iMlii'* AH I .Ml/i cK, nil <>f were employed at the Ircn Works on the afurnoon that the iMiiler exploded. They were examined simply to show ' the work that was being done at the mill that afternoon. It was not until afternoon that evid ence of interest was introduced. I'll to that time witnesses were placed on the stand to simply tell of the work beimr : done on the afternoon of the explosion, October 8, l*y«;, and t<> descrilie the events of the afternoon. When the plaintiffs attorneys called W. 1.. Brown, of Philadelphia, to the j stand, the large crowd of spectators in I the court room slirred expectantly. Mr. lirown ii the young iron testing engine er appointed by order of the court last May to test pieces of the exploded boil er to determine whether the explosion was due to defects in the iron. Much time was occupied by Mr. Scar let in his objections to the evidence of this witness. Mr. Scarlet wished to show that the witness made his tests only across the grain of the iron, and that such work proved him incompetent asan expert, and made his evidence ineffectu al in proving the point sought for. The court permitted the examination of the j witness. j .Mr. Crow n testified that in a test for | tensile strength, the piece of iron that , he took from the boiler broke under a i strain of".> 7,000 pounds. Another piece, subjected to a cold bending test, showed signs of fracture when bent thirty-two i degrees ami broke entirely at forty-two degrees. He testified that these tests ! showed the iron of the boiler to be of I poor quality. I Mr. Scarlet objected to all of this testi mony, claiming that it was incompe tent, but Judge Little overruled theob i jeetions. No more expert testimony was in ; troduced. Mr. and Mrs. Barron were j both sworn, an interpreter being u*ed to take [tart of their evidence. It was decided yesterday that none of the other damage suits against the Bead ing Iron Company will be tried at this term of court and ail of the jurors not sitting in the case now on trial were dis charged. The evidence for the plaintiffs was all presented in the case of Barron against the Iron company and a motion for a non suit was argued. Judge Little re served his decision on the non suit mo tion until this morning. The only evidence of importance in- ' troduced yesterday was that of W. Bar- ! nett LeVan, a boiler expert of Philadel phia, who examined the boiler after the . explosion. He testified that he believed the accident was due to defects in the boiler, caused by its improper support. While the attorneys were arguing the motion for a non suit the jury was tak en to the mill to examine the pieces of the boiler and to see the Barron house, , through which part of the boiler was blown. Mr. Scarlet argued for a non suit, con- | tending that the expert testimony in -1 troduced by the plaintifls was incompe- J tent Judge Hinckley made the oppos- j ing argument and Jefferson Snyder,Esq. , of Reading, replied to him. > on itinn m w\\\\m\ I 1 I 1 I Hih 1I ■ w M M ti ftnurvi * 112 % His at M UM 't M !•> Mhtai iMga| * Hi i tit ■i'. ~ « , 1 >4i lb* > m V' *4 ; iHat 1> I »1 *a \ I Ml Nw s«M-iwv IS t M I Iwwul'soiUii llf«iHH4 « <aps4|. lain * \a*iu*i < ts i 41 v ,j i W ||a4sbr*, Dl> CvayaVi Coilrs(h<a |*.>i.»Ufv aad iWncdtctbin Ibaml Vwlwjf I «»nti,»*in'» r*|>iMl >k»»«l Ibal the U»l >e«i s aulk Ml lit* local A »»»«*MsUon has Us-u mid < n.'-oui Ak'inc Then iiiilirt«lilp la about «» Mi, I ..tin «« ei began by giving a getHwai report if tin- «oik of V.

The Ladies' Auxiliary report showed . that during the year the ladies held I twenty-three meetings, assisted at the members' receptions, held a Christmas i entertainment and raise<l f472..T0 in ad- ' ditiou to the $115.79 iu their treasuiy at the beginning of the year. They paid f.ir repairs made to the building, and now have $2*22.11 in the treasury. Treasurer McClure's rejiort showed the j total receipts during the year were S2,- ! 1515.1 M and the expenditures L- j 71). The receipts include<l an increase to the debt of s.">o, which was borrowed. The indebtedness of the association at the clo-e of the fiscal year was $9X1.75. Dr Heisler delivered an eloquent ad dress from tne text: ••me gmry or ' young men is their strength." He urg ed young men to develop their strength 1 along ail lines, physical, mental and spiritual. Dr. Jennings Did Not Have Monopoly on Market Street Burglaries. The sequel to the burglary at Pr. Jen nings" residence Friday morning was not known until after daylight. Then it was discovered that the thieves had been in two other West Market street residences and made attempts to en ter two others. When William T. I'e.ise arose Fri day morning he could find no clothes to put on. Investigation showed that two suits of his ami Mis. Pease's dress were nrssing. The clothes were found in a liist floor room, where the burglars had left them after searching the pockets. Mr. l'ea-e's silver watch was stolen. The burglars broke off and left attached to the ve>t a solid gold chain and charm worth much more than the watch. During the night Mr. Pease awoke and uoticed that a lamp that had been left burning on the dresser was not to be seen. He awoke Mrs. l'ease and call ed her attention to it. She replied that she guessed the lamp hud "gone out." It had. The burglars had gone entirely around the bed, taken the lamp to as sist them in their search, and carried it down stairs with them. Entrance to the dining room was gain ed through the only window on the first floor that was not bolted. When Mrs. Marie B. Rhodes retired on Thursday night, she left a dish of baked beans and other food in the refrigerator. Friday morning she found the dish on the kitchen table. The food had been eaten by the burglars who gained access to the house through a window. Nothing else was taken, al though the thieves had thoroughly ransacked all parts of the house. The thieves also attempted to gain an entrance into Arthur H. Woolley's re silience, West Market street, as indicat ed by the marks on the wood work of the tool with which they made an un successful attempt to pry up several windows. The burglars also attempted to open several windows at the residence of Dr. C. Shultz, No. 100 West Market street, but they did not gain an entrance there. Orchestra for Social Club. The Penn Social club will have an or chestra iu the near future. Many of the members play various musical instru ments, enough to makeup a fair orches tration.
