Miss Pat ridge -aid that in teaching
language the power of spontaneous ex- |
pre*sion in children ahoald be stu lied,
and a li-t should l»e made of the «rrors
of speech from which to correct Ihe er
rors in phraseology.
l)r. Croswelldevoted his Nature Study
talk to birds, with the habits of which
he advised teachers to become better

Rev. (». K. 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.

Five witnesses were sworn before the

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. >

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.

All of the boys have had reputations.
The records show that this is the fourth
time that Burke has been in jail and
that Fillinjrer has been locked up twice
before. They have several times been
charged with stealing chickens or some
such kind of theft. The Keefer boy has
never before been in jail.
Last June the Burke boy was before
the Court on the charge of chickeu steal
ing. The Judge adjourned his case for a
week. As Sheriff' Maiers was taking him
back to jail the youth slipped from his
grasp ami escaped. He was not seen for
svuic iliuo, Uuil» 8 wlii.li lila puruntstiA
ed up the case so that the charge was
not to he pressed pending the boy's
good behavior.
Robbed of His Dinner.
The question of daily bread seems to
be an important one with the tramps
and thieves who have been making mis
erable the lives of Danville citizens for
several weeks. In addition to the bur
glaries and hold-ups-raids on refrigera
tors, pantries, chicken coops, etc., are
made almost every night in town or in
the snrrouuding districts.
A new method of obtaining eatables
was pursued by three fellows Tuesday
morning.
While Harry Haverly, one of the men
employed in dismantling the Bessemer
steel plant, was going to work about
six o'clock, he was held up and his din
ner pail was taken from him.
Mr. Haverly was walking along the
Lackaw anna track and was just about
passing the Danville Rolling mill when
three men confronted him and demand
ed his dinner pail.
Mr. Haverly could not see the fellows
very well in the dark, except to deter
mine that they looked like tramps.
They took his dinner pail away from
him, and disappeared in the darkness in
the sanie direction from which they
came, from a secluded part of the mill
property.
Changing the Grade.
The work of raising the main track of
the Lackawanna railroad between the
round house and the State Hospital is

crew lias also completed there-building
of the switch running into the North
Branch mill. The yard crew of this road
is again working steadily. After the
coal strike was declared of! all hands re
turned to work.
