A big summer excursion season is pre dicted by passenger agent 9. The skaters certainly have no cause for complaint that their joyous and in vigorating pastime has not been prod igally catered to this winter. During the winter months there are hundreds of working men in this city who never see their homes by day light, except on Sunday. They leave for their employment before day the dawns, tak ing their dinners with them and do not get home until after sundown. The workingman is always glad when winter ends. Danville Milliners arc already receiv ing handsome spring goods. Easter flowers are to be plenty says one who knows; which means that they will not be exorbitantly priced. Since the days are lengthening there is a noticeable increase in the attend ance of early buyers at our curbstone market.

A civil case was heard before Justice Bare yesterday in which the litigants were J. C. Campbell, of Rushtown, and Augustus Schultz, of West Hemlock township, the former suing the latter to recover $lO which, he alleges, he over paid him by mistake in settling for the purchase of a couple of steers. The price should have been $105.75 but through an error in figuring up the cost Mr. Campbell made it $115.75 and did not discover his mistake until some time later. Meanwhile the defendant saw Elias Lyon and told him that he had re ceived slls for the cattle. At the hear- ! ing yesterday lie protested that lie had received but $105.75 for the cattle and explained that he was not talking ser iously when he represented the price to Mr. Lyon as slls. Several witnesses ; were heard. The justice reserved de- ' cision until Saturday. Argument is Postponed. Pursuant to adjournment court con vened Monday morning at 9:30 o'clock for argument. Hon. R.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1901. | MBS. VOCI'M'S Bill FRIGHT A Strange Dog With Symptoms of Rabies Met on River Bridge. Mrs. E. A. Yocum, of South Danville, while crossing the river bridge yester day morning met with a great scare caused by what was probably a mad dog. The story as told A NKWS reporter by the husband of the woman is substantially as follows: Mrs. Yocum was returning from this city on the East side of the bridge and had nearly reached the Sou h Danville side when she saw a dog approaching her which acted in a very auspicious j manner. He was trotting along, froth | ing at the mouth and snapping at the wooden railing. It was a fearful place to meet a dog which was even suspected of rabies and the consternation and dread that seized the woman can easily be imagined. The meeting fortunately occurred near a pier and Mrs. Yocum bethought herself of the small opening at that point cut into the side of the bridge communicating with the roadway She made a dash for this opening and reached it only a few feet in advance of the dog, which following at her \cry heelsdarted in after her On the inside of the bridge the dog's attention lucki y was diverted and he made no at J c mpi to pursue Mrs. Yocum, who rui in the dir ection of South Danville, l.ut snapping right and left he trotted oil toward this end of the bridge. Whether tbe dog was mad or not ! might, of course, admit of some doubt, but that Mrs. Yocum had cause for al arm is beyond question. Her experi ence has caused uneasiness not only in South Danville where the residents have occasion to cross the bridge almost daily but also on this side of the river where, it seem®, the dog has taken refuge. Mrs. Yocum as is natural owing to her fright is able to give no more than a general description of the dog, which might ap ply to a bundled other canines. The only thing to do for a while is to stand aloof from all dogs that are not beyond suspicion of infection. Observing Lent. Lent began yesterday, Ash Wednes day, and the observance will be general by the devout members of the Roman Catholic, Protestant Episcopal. Evangel ical Lutheran and other Christian churches. The Right Rev. John Sbanahan, Bish op of the Harrisburg Diocese of the Roman Catholic church, has issued the usual episcopal letter to bis clergymen which contains instructions for the ob servance of Lent. There!will be the us ual restrictions and the season will be one of fasting and prayer. All persons wiHiin the pale of the church who have complete! their twenty first year, unless legitimately dispensed, are bound to observe the fast. Among those who are exempt are persons under twenty-one years, the sick, those who have to perform hard manual labor and all those who through weakness cannot fast without great prejudice to their health. Others are permitted to take' only one full meal a day, and that not until about noon. The exemption extended to working people does not include Fridays, Ash Wednesday and Saturday of Holy Week The concession benefits not only tbe working people themselves, but also their families. The use of meat is per- j mitted to others on Sundays and once a * I day on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, with the exception of Saturday of Ember Week and the last Saturday of Lent. The use of flesh and fish is forbidden at the same meal. Mowed Down by Death. Miss Bessie Sheehan, whose death oc curred Thursday last, was buried Satur- j day morning. The funeral, which took 1 place from St. Joseph's Catholic church, ; was quite largely attended. The deceased was the daughter of Thomas Sheehan, who 14 years ago re moved from this place to Scranton. Twelve years ago the family consisted of nine members. Today but one survives William, a boy sixteen years of age. It is seldom that disease even in its most fatal form mows down a family with 1 more starting rapidity. Two daughters of the family Maggie and K la —died in ISB9, five months apart. The father of the family follow ed the next year. In 189(1 Mrs. Sheehan 1 died. In April of last year two daught ers—Annie and Mary—died,their deaths , occurring only seven days apart The family up to that time still resided in Scran'on. Discouraged by the dread- ' ful mortality,which they in some way at- , tributed to their surrounding*, the three i surviving cbillreh Bessie, John and William —decided to remove back to this ! city. They took up their residence on Ash street some six months ago. The | change, however, was powerless to ward off the fell Destroyer. On January t!3rd, last tbe son, John, died. Bessie was even then very low,but she survived un til the 14th inst, 22 days later, when she peacefully passed away. The four last deaths, it will be « bserved, occurred in less than 10 months' time.

The spring sales in the rural districts will now be on in good earnest, there being several to be held daily within a radiu= of twenty miles from this citv. Report says that the vendues so far I are more largely attended than ever. It seems that the weather cannot be too cold, wet or stormy, even all the elements combined, to deter some people from going to these gather ings. One of the principle attractions at a country sale is the big dinners that are served. Scores of people goto salts simply to get an opportunity of sitting down to a good meal. PARTY LINES DISREGARDED I Tie Vote for Councilman Results in Choice of Amos Vastine. ; FINE WEATHER BRINGS OUT A LARGE VOTE i Election Tueslay, despite the warmth of the contest in several of the wards, passed off without a ripple of excitement or the occurrence of anything to 1 mar the quiet and dignity of election day. The weather conditions w ere all that could be desired and the vote polled therefore was rather larger than is usual at Spring elections. . The hottest tight was in the First Ward and lay principally between the candidates for Council and those for Justice-of-the-Peace. In the Second Ward the contest was confined to the candidates for School Director. M. D. L. ( Seehler and Reuben Boyer, who were named for Council, are warm personal i friends and long before the election tiiev agreed to take no hand in the matter, but allow their friends to fight it out at the polls. Neither of the two candidates ) were seen about the voting booths yesterday except during the brief interval re r quired for him to cast his vote. In tbe Third and the Fourth Wards tbe con test was not especially warm, although neither the candidates nor their friends were by any means idle durin? the day. i ; In Oearhart township, which includes South Danviile, the principal contest I lay between .1. F. Crossley, candidate on the Independent Democratic ticket,and Ileber L. DeWitt on the Independent Citizens' ticket, who was endorsed by the j Republicans. As revealed by the result there was a good deal of independence exercised by .. ' Ihe voters, in some of the districts honors being pretty evenly divided between , tho two parties. As Poor Director for the Danville and Mahoning poor district P. M. Kerns ; was elected by a majority of -tio. D. R. Williams was elected Borough Auditor, , 1 his majoritv being 15. i in the First Ward the vote for Councilman was a tie. each candidate receiving ' 207 votes. The "Amended Ballot Law" was referred to by the election board, which provides in case of a lie vote in boroughs that "the inspectors in tbe pres | e nc e of the judge and clerks, cast lots to determine the choice for burgess or town council." In accordance with this provision the name of each candidate was written on a slip of paper and placed in a hat. The name drawn out. which hap pened to be that of Amos Vastine, Republican, determined the candidate elected. Dr. E. A. Curry was elected School Director bv a majority of HI. In tbe -econd Ward M. D. 1.. Sechler was elected to Council by a majority of 7(i. P. ,1. Keefer is returned to the School Board by a majority of 09. In the Third Ward James F. Dougherty was elected Councilman by a majority l of 411. Daniel Byerly is elected School Director by a majority of 114. In the Fourth Ward Joseph Gibson was chosen Councilman, his majority be ing 4"). W. 11. Orth was re elected as School Director bv a majority of 59. —— DISTRICT. POOR DIRECTOR. Franklin Boyer, Sr..

I lower, "iindav preached a sennoti to Montour t ouucil, No. I»>7, American .Mechanic* of 11,.~ city, li addition to the regular attend ants there was a good representation of American Mechanic* present. The di« «iourse. which naturally dwelt upon the relations between the employer and the employed was founded upon Col. 4 I "Masters (iive unto Your -ervanfs th.it which is just and e(|tial, knowing that ye also servo a master in Heaven.'' The speaker admitted the existence of social distinctions,not accidental phases >ot society, but growing oot of the •• «n --stitution of things, divi rsity in the t» m peraments, tastes and capacities. The dilferent circumstances of men, lie -aid, give rise to masters and servants. Masters sometimes treat servants "unequally"' by demanding inconve nient service, an unreasonable amount of work, or by withholding wages. He then dwelt upon the duty of ser vants to their masters,quoting the pass age: "Servants obey your masters, not with eye service but in singleness of heart, fearing God."' Servants should work the same whether the master is present or not. He advocated organization among working men. He cited the instance of David an I Jonathan to illustrate the advantage of a union In tween men of different distinctions. In carrying out the idea he suggested that instead of ar, organization among servants only, it might be;well to have a union of mast era and servants. A union among men. he said, is good, but a union with God is lietter. A union with linn would in stantly settle all the vexed question* be tween labor ari 1 capital, h r a unioi o men with Gi«l means a union of men with men. R. Foulk & Co. Have Another Runaway. K. Foulk sSc Company had another ex- I pensive runaway Saturday night, the j same horse wrecking a delivery wagon, which the week before smashed a sled. It was about six o'clock when pedestri ans in the vicinity of Center and Mill streets heard the rapid clatter of horses' hoofs coming down Kast Centre -treet There was barely time to clear the cros ing when the horse attached to the de livery wagon came dashing around the corner. In making the turn under the momentum he was thrown over toward the People's store: his feet at the same time slipping on the icy street he fell Hat on his tide,while the wagon brought up against the posts at the curb -tone. Several men seized the horse and un hitched him. Ileyond a 112, v brows about the limbs the animal was i.ot in jured by his hard fall. The wagon was not so fortunate. The right hind wheel wa* smashed and the top badly broken. The wagon contained about worth of goods, all of which were ruined, tho-e not thrown out being broken an 1 ren dered until for o«e in the shaking nj. they received. Mr. Foulk states that the l»«w e is not a vicious one and attribute- the run away to neglect in not tying him The hor-e in making his rounds, he «i\«. be comes impatient and starts for his -table It does not amount to a runaway, tin less he become* frightened at s,.trie*lung when having no driver to check him a smash-up is likely t<> ensue John S.
