A Civil Suit Before Bare.
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

were heard. The justice reserved de- '
cision until Saturday.

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.

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

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.

Bcf3re American Mechaoicr.
Kev. J. F. 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
