HIE HUM) Flll.ll IIIIIVF Retnarkuule Teat Pel formed by Svingali Yesterjay. Professor Svingali, who opened a four nights'engagement in the Opera House last night, perfoimed I»i« wonderful blind-fold drive yesterday afternoon, which lias made him famous as a hyp notist and an exponent of telepathy. I'.liudfolded Svingali drove to another part of the town and found a hunch of keys which had been securely hidden. The feat was remarkable in itsell, but ] the manner in which il was performed adds to the marvel. The blind-fold drive was performed in the presence of a committee composed uf F. P. Johnson, Chiei-of-Police Mince mover, W. L- Clark. W. C. Williams, W. K. Urumheller and F. M. Gotwalds. Svingali was first secuielv blind-folded at the Opera House by one of the com mittee and then left in charge of the manager ivhile the commit tee itself was driven over the followiug route: Mill street to East Market, East Mar ket to Church street, Church to East Front street, Fast Front to Rough and Ready street, Rough and Heady to East Market street, East Market to Church street, Church to Lower Mulberry street. Lower Mulberry to Pine street, Pine to Bloom street, Bloom to Mill street. A stop was made at the First National Bank, the committee ascending to the oifice of John VV. Farnsworth immedi ately above where two small keys at tached to a ring were secreted under the cushion of a revolving chair. The committee then returned to the '•pera llou-e, where Svingali in the in terval had been under the surveillance, of an immense crowd anxious to prevent him from receiving any tip surrepti tiously that might aid hiui in the dif ficult task he had undertaken. The professor placed his fingers on the pulse of each member i.f the committee, repeating the act several times. He finally selected W. L. Claik and W. E. Drumheller to ride with him on the front seat wheu blind-folded he started on his remarkable drive, the rest of ihe com mittee aleo occupying the barouche. Suf fice it lo say without the least mistake at a brisk trot he guided the horses over the roundabout route taken by the com mittee on the first drive. Arriving at Bloom and Mill streets he at oacc pronounced it the spot in the vicinity of .viiicli the article was hidden. Alighting lie again placed his lingers upon the pulse of each of the committee after which lie had no difficulty in tind intr the flight of stairs leading to the second story of the bank huilding.at the top «112 which without any hesitancy he turned to the left into Mr. Faru.->worth's office where he found the keys. Sviiigali could not have known what article was hidden nor the hiding place, neither the route selected, as none of these matters were given any attention by the committee until it had started upon the first drive. Iron Worker Badly Burned. Perry Barr, about 20 years of age. who resides with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wilkes Barr, North Mill street, met with a painful accident while at work at the Reading Iron Works about noon Tuesday. He was assisting to load skelp irou, which is placed upon the car while hot. With oihers he was pulling the hot f~ars up an inclined plank and had just reached the top when his foot slipped and he fell upon the hot iron ir. the car, burning himself shockingly about the arms, hands and legs. Instead of the hob nailed shoes usual ly worn while at this work Barr wore a pair of ordinary shoes and to this he attributes the accident. He may be un able to work for some time. Dr. J. H. Kimerer is the attending physician. Salting Peanuts in The Shell. Horace D. Mover, of Hazleton, whose recent invention for salting peanuts in the shell has brought him before the reading public, is visiting relatives in this city. The process discovered by .Mr. Moyer is considered very valuable and he has already refused an otfer of *IO,OOO for it. The peanuts treated have a very palatable taste, which adds much to their value. In this city they are on sule at Fallon Bros' store. Horace 1).

Truant Officer Already Bußy. Truant, oflicer W. E. Young already has his hands quite full rounding up the absentees from school. It is some what early in the term for much activity on the part of the truant oflicer, but the school board this year has decided to take time by the forelock and obviate the hard experience of last term by making an example of some of the worst cases. Several parents who last year showed no disposition to co-oper ate with the truant oflicer will, this year be given reasonsble warning, which is to be followed with arrest in ease they j make no etfort to get their rhildren to I school. Tilt LAST IIITFS R. (J. Shannon Laid Away at Mt. Veruiou Cemetery. The remains of the lateß. C. Shannon were followed to their last resting place at Mt. Vernon Sunday afternoon by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. The cozy and home-like residence near Riv erside Heights was adequate to accom modate only a small proportion of those assembled. The lawn and even the street was tilled by an assemblage who for nearly an hour stood with bowed heads drinking in the solemn service, A'hich was audible through the open doors and windows of the residence. The services were conducted by Rev. R. J. Allen, pastor of St. Peter's M. E. church, Riverside, lie founded his dis course on the words of St. Mark: "Why make ye this ado and weep; the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth." The speaker drew a beautiful lesson from the above passage, full of hope and consolation to the bereaved. The children of God, he said, do not die — they "sleep." The music under the direction of Miss Kate Keiui, church organist, was a very beautiful anil impressive feature of the service. Two selections were tendered by a quartette consisting of Mrs. Allen, Mamie Keim, William Keim and John Wolverton, ttie latter of Sunbury. The pallbearers were: W. K. Clark, John Keim, John M<Cli.ughan. T. W. Clayton, 11. M. I'ucum :.nd John Con way. The funeral was followed with a mem orial service at St. Peter's M. E. church at 7:f!0 o'clock Sunday night. Short ad dresses hearing upon the deceased were made by the pastor, Kev. Allen; H. M. Yocuin representing the church in gener al; George Ostrander on behalf of the Epworth League; Mi-s Agnes McCloug han representing the Junior League,and W U. Clark on behalf of the official board of the church. Oouncilmen in Session. The regular meeting of council was held Friday evening.

May Purchase Rolling Mill. H. H. Gensburg, of Philadelphia, a man prominent in iron manufacturing i circles, accompanied by James Mallon, former Superintendent under Mess. Baird & Company, and a couple of oth*r Philadelphians, pain a visit to this city Friday for the purpose of looking over the Danville Polling Mill with a view of purchasing the plant. The visitors were favorably impressed with the mill, which had been remodel ed at considerable expense, just before the shut-down occurred. There are good reasons for believing that the visit may result in a purchase, which would imply starting up of tlie works. The Prayers of the Church. There was scarcely a pulpit in this ci ty Sunday that did not allude to the attempt against President McKinley's life in some way to reflect the suspense that the people are under as to the re sult and the sympathy they feel for the stricken Executive and his faithful wife. Many of the prayers were touching ap peals to <Jod for faith and physical strength to carry the President through this awful ordeal. Rail Against an Iron Bar. John Evans, Jr., Front street, an em ploye of Ihe Structural Tubing Works, sustained an odd injury about 8 o'clock Monday night. During an interval of rest he was playing with some other boys about the mill when he accidentally ran against the end of a rail loaded on the buggy striking himself in the region of the groin, lie fell to the ground in an agony of pain and had to be carried home.

Many think hit measures should be adopted to arou—• the public to a sense of its rep nisibility and endeavor lo keep I his helpful and benelicent in stitution open. i aboriug under a feel ing of this soil Pine Street Lutheran church, Sunday last took up an im promptu collection for the V. M. A. which amounted to sllO This is certain l\ very praiseworthy in the Pine congregat on anil shows a degree of zeal and iibeia:,ty which will not be lost sight of as an example. Ihe board of directors, how* ver. have no hope of overcoming the obstacle be fore lhem and will carry out their in tention of suspending V M. C. A. work in Danville until all indebtedness is wiped out and the institution is again on its feet. The deficiency as shown by the state ment is SI,MOO. It is not known, how ever. that £7st) of this ever-growing in debtedness has been assumed by the 'mm *d of directors. This shows the strained condition of the finances in a strong light and ought to justify the bo rd in the course it lias taken. No one could be found who would at tempt to underrate the V. M A. as a factor for good. Nevertheless the fact remains that a large proportion of those who profit directly from the Y. \l. C. A. those who have sons in every day at tendance who share in the advantages of the institution along i's various lines, do little and in many cases absolutely nothing for its support. Thus while there are in Danville some L'lWHt families the V. M C.

It will no doubt come home prettv forcibly to some of them when they see their sons now secure behind the friendly door of the Y. M.

It would not be surprising if after some mouths or a year with the institution closed our citizens would arise to a full appreciation of their duty in the matter aud decide to tender the proper sup port. Justice J. P. Bare s Decision. Justice-of-the-Peace J. P. Bare render ed a decision Monday in the case of Commonwealth vs. Associate Judge Franklin G. Blee. The charge in this case, which was given a hearing Wed nesday last, it will he remembered, was assault and battery, George \Y. Dens berger being prosecutor. The justice adjudged the defendant not guilty and placed iheccost? 10.59 —upon the prosecutor. In his opinion Justice Bare states that he fails to lind sufficient evidence to convince him "that Judge Blee wilfully, carelessly and with malice drove into Densberger's wagon." Also as to the altercation resulting there from he hesitates to place the blame upon the defendant. He cites that Densberger stopped in the public road, walked fifty feet or more to the mill and went up stairs to the second story to find the defendant, which would leave it a grave question whether or not the prosecutor did not provoke an assault and battery. Had Densberger believed himself entitled to damages he could have recovered them by process of law. Kind Words for Danville. The Lewisburg Chronicle in speaking of the K. G. E. reunion here on Labor Day says: Citizens of Danville did them selves proud on this day. The town be longed to the Eagles, as it were, and we doubt if they ever visite 1 a place where ihey received better treatment. Special mention should be made of the members of the Friendship Fire Department, who had open house all day, serving lunch to all Eagles who were members of their home lire com panies. You will have to travel a long distance before you will run across a better all-round set of boys than those who compose the Friendship Fire Com pany of Dauville. Presented With Baton. I he members of Sfoes' band, Saturday night last, presented Conductor J. T. Oberdorf with a beautiful leaders' baton in recognition of his valuable services. The baton is of ebony and ivory, the ivory being beautifully inlaid with pearl. The presentation speech which was made by John L. Jones,was quite a happy hit. After the presentation the band played several tine selections on the street. Gennania Verein Picnic.

The annual harvest home of the local ><ilvution Army will liegiu on -aiurday next and conclude on Tuesday night of next week. A corps of solicitors are at work and have already secured an ex tensive collection of articles rsnging all the way from fancy work to fruit and provisions. During Saturday next the various articles contributed will be placed on exhibition in Salvation Army hall.where they will remain while the harvest home set vices are in progress. The opening service will take place Saturday evening at 8 o'clock Service also will be held at.'Llo and at s pin. on Sunday. The hall will be appropri ately decorated. Monday and Tlie-day evenings the fair will he held during which the arti cle- on exhibition will be sold. An ef fort will be made to bring the proceed up to £73. The greater part of this will goto the support of the local workers; tiie balance to the fund for the relief of the -ick and wounded of the Army. Few people probably have an adequate iile:i of tin- -eryice rendered by the-e humble workers in our midst. Their visits among the poor and tnose who know neither church nor Sunday school must be productive of much good. The Sunday school of the Army made up of the class above alluded to numbers some forty. In addition to religion-instruc tion rendered the little girls in the hall on certain evenings are taught to sew and the boy- »iven lessons in bookkeep ing, iVc. Straub-Haney.
