FODffl DEAD IN HIS FIELD The quiet tanning community in the vicinity of Strawberry Ridge, this counry, Thursday was the scene of a sudden death, which occurred under circumstances that invests the event, sad enough iu itself, with an addi tional pathos that can not fail to touch the most unsympathetic heart. Charles Voguetz, a farmer c>:j years of age, a representative and esteemed man of the community, late iu the afternoon was fouud dead in his field. After dinner iu excellent spirits lie mounted his horses and rode to the field where he was engaged in plough ing. It was not long afterward that George Voguetz, brother of the de ceased, who was working in a neigh boring field noticed that the team was standing idle. An hour or more passed and the horses although they once or twice changed position were still un employed. The man naturally became apprehensive and waiting a while long er he went over to the field to investi gate. Arriving at the spot he was horrifi ed to find his brother lying prostrate, partly in the furrow with his head and shoulders resting on the ploughed ground. There was no sigu of pulsa tion at the heart and the body was in a manuer cold. Help was summoned and the man now given up for dead, was carried to his home, A messenger was dispatch ed for Dr. Hoffa,the family physician, who accompanied by his son William promptly responded, arriving at the stricken farm house shortly after 5 o'clock. Rigor mortis had already set iu indicating that death had occurred at least three hours before, very soon after the deceased began work for the afternoon. The furrows showed that he had ploughed just two rounds. Mr. Vognets was in his usual health at noon and as he went to the field nothing was more remote from the minds of the family than that death was lurking near. The condition of the ploughed ground indicated that he had died without a struggle, neither were there any marks visible 011 his body to indicate that he was tin; victim of violence in any form. The history of his case, however, would seem to throw some light 011 his death. About three weeks ago while ploughing lie was struck by the handles of the plow, sustaining an ugly blow upon the chest near the pit of the stomach. At intervals since then, it seems, lie suffered with acute pains in the region of the heart. These, it appears, gave him grave con- C -ru and on a couple of occasions he was heard to remark that he feared "they would kill him yet." The blow, it is thought, superinduced a heart trouble, which was the cause of his taking off. The day before his death Mrs. George Vognets of Milton, who died during a visit, was buried from the home of the deceased. As he viewed the re mains it is related that he turned aside and said with evidence of deep emo tion: "I wonder who will be next." The deceased farmer was a brother of G. B. Vognets,the Strawberry Ridge merchant and was well known in this city. He is survived by his wife and and 011 daughter. Fell Against an Emery Wheel. H. S. Rosencrants, an employe of the Shovel Works, met with a bad in jury about 'J o'clock Friday morn ing. He was working at an emery wheel in the belting room. With his knee against the handle he was press ing the shovel upon the wheel for the purpose of imparting to it the neces sary smoothness and finish, when the implement slipped and lie fell for ward, his knee coming in contact with the rapidly revolving emery wheel. 111 an instant the flesh of the knee cap was ground off and the bone was laid bare. The man suffered intensely and in a short time the limb was swollen so badly as to render walking difficult . He left on the 2:11 D. L. & W. train for liis home in Wyoming. Mr. Howe Retires. A new company has been formed to assume control of the Structural Tub ing Works of this city,formerly owned by Howe & Polk. Mr. Howe is not identified with the new company. The interest of the late Hon. R. K. Polk is also withdrawn. The new or ganization, which is known as the Danville Structural Tubing Company, is composed of W. C. Frick, T. J. Price, W. G. Pursel and Dan. M. Curry. Finger Lacerated. Stephen Raver employed at the Reading Iron works met with anjinjury yesterday afternoon. He was assist ing to remove a steel billet which weighed some 500 pounds when it slipped and caught the fingers of his left hand lacerating the one next to the little linger very badly. Dr. Stock gave lii 111 surgical attention. THE BIG TIE ON THE FOURTH Iu auother column will be found a communication from "A Merchant" who urges an immediate meeting of citizens and business men to take ac tion 011 tin- Fourth of July celebration. The communication is timely and should receive attention of the people. That this is Danville's year is con ceded by the near-by towns, none of them having taken any steps towards having a big time of their own. Furthermore they are willing to come here and to join in the parade and the shouting. This plainly puts upon Danville the necessity of being the host of all this section of central Pennsylvania 011 the nation's birthday. So the duty upon the citizens is not only that of patriotism, but of hospit ality as well. "A Merchant" wisely observes that June is close at hand and that time is valuable. This is the most important feature of the matter and his appeal for a meeting to be held at ouee should be heeded. There should be no wait ing for some one else to take the in itiative, but every citizen ought to join in the movement immediately. There is a fund of $l2O now in the hands of the citizen's committee which should become the nucleus of the money for the coming celebration. But the real matter to be acted upon is that Danville must have a celebra tion and that while the cash on hand can be used it should not prevent more money being subscribed. The old saying that money makes the mare go can be paraphrased for present uses to saying that money will make the eagle scream here 011 July Fourth. All impression exists that the Con tinental Fire Company wanted that ' $l2O fund, but this is a misapprehen sion. What the Continental boys want is a great and glorious celebra tion and in this they are joined by all the other companies. The Continental Company has a Fourth of July com mittee and has already gotten up its part of the day's events. There will be a big firemen's picnic at Hunter's Park, with a program that will at tract many visitors. The Continental committee is ar ranging for a firemen's parade and has already received acceptances from Watsontowu, Lewisburg and Blooms burg. Suubury is expected to send up a big delegation and other acceptances are also expected. Committees to Visit Cemeteries. The Memorial Day committee of Goodrich Post. No. 22, G. A. R., has appointed the following committees to visit the cemeteries and decorate the graves of their comrades. Odd Fellows, New Catholic, Ger man Catholic and Reformed cemeter ies—A. C.

The Susquehanna Synod of the Evan gelical Lutheran church closed its session at Berwick Sabbath evening last. Three young men were ordained for the gospel ministry. One of the num ber will leave in July for India as a missionary. The Susquehanna Synod will be re presented at the next convention of the General Synod,which convenes in the city of Baltimore the coming spring, by six clerical and six lay delegates. Among the number of lay representa tives is our townsman, F. G. Schoch. This is the second time within the last two years that Pine Street Luth eran church has received the honor of securing a place in the delegation, Mr. W. I). Launiaster having been present at the meeting iu DesMoines last June. Other matters of interest were at tened to with great enthusiasm and dispatch. Dr. Auspach of Williams port, was elected president and presided with honor to himself and pleasure to the Synod. A hearty appetite does not always in dicate a healthy condition. It is not the quantity of food which is eaten but the quantity which is assimilated, which determines the actual value of the food consumed. If the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition cannot con vert the food into nourishment, and in to blood, then the food is an injury in stead of a benefit. For all disorders of the stomach anil its allied organs of di gestion ami nutrition, there is a certain remedy in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It removes clogging obstruc tions.

They will also officiate in Hebrew at the pentecostal services. On Sunday afternoon, .June loth, an English service will he held, with special singing by Mrs. R. J. Allen and J. Newman. All the ser vices will be conducted by Rabbi Meyer. DANVILLE WON FIRST GAME The base bull season has opened and Danville won its first frame. The op posing club was from Suubury and the contest was witnessed by a large number of people. DeWitt's Park was the mecca for all lovers of the nation al game Saturday afternoon and every body that saw the game was happy over the result. The visitors played good ball but the "Old Timers" were a little too swift for them, the score being K to 5. At the end of the fifth inning Culp who was pitching for Suubury retired from the box and was succeeded by Nuivr a left handed twirler. The new man had a mystify ing drop that fooled 11 if home batters and only one run was scored by the "Old Timers" after lie got in the box. The "Old Timers" were in good form and put up a very game. But one error was made by the home nine while Suubury had eight. Am merman made a nice running catch and Yerriek threw in a beautiful ball from second base, cutting ofV a runner at the home plate. The whole game was excellent, the team work of both clubs being of first quality. The Sunburians are all emp loyes of the Susquehanna silk mill and have the best club in that city. There is 110 doubt that they will play here again and every time they come a big crowd will greet them. The "Old Timers" knew full well that many admirers were on hand and gave all friends good value for their money. The detailed score shows just how the first victory was accomplished: DANVILLE. AH. K.

OF COIL The assertion that Edward Corman while excavating for his new dwelling on East Market street has discovered a vein of coal will no doubt be taken for a piece of nonsense, a joke gotten off at the expense of the genial Water Commissioner. We beg to state, how ever, that the fact is set forth in all seriousness and that u remained lor Mr. Corman to discover that a few feet under the surface at a spot, dur ing the last century, trodden and re trodden by the town's population, lie outcroppiugs of anthracite coal. The excavation for the cellar has laid bare two distinct veins each about two inches thick, fissures in the orig inal deposit of gravel filled with what is unmistakably a form of coal, lying at an angle of nearly 45 degees and in creasing in thickness they descend. The outcropping resembles the coal found at Kipp's Run, w hich very readi ly burns, although of not snflici nt commercial viine to justify digging very deep for it. It is clearly anthra cite coal ,although very soft a- is us ually incidental in outcroppiugs. Whether the mineral found in Mr. Corman's cellar leads to a deposit of any extent or whether the coal if dug would be found of any value are of course matters which will have to be determined by experiment. On these points Mr. Corman expects to obtain full information before he is through with the several excavations incidental to the building of his new house. It would he remarkable if what was begun as a cellar should end as a coal mine. Y. M. G, A. Star Out s-. The Star course of the Young's Men's Christian Association for the season of liKW-03 will be undoubtedly the best ever given in this city.

Lower Court Decision Reversed. The Supreme Court opinion rend cred Monday which reversed the low er court in the case of Peter Weaver vs the Reading Railway Company tried in March of 11M>1 was received at the Prothonotary's office this city yester day and forwarded to Judge Little in Bloomshurg. The Supreme Court reversed the lower court under the act of June I, IStVS, holding that the plaintiff Weav er as an employe of the Reading Iron Company was in the position of a fel low servant of the employes of the rail road company in accordance with the '.•th point submitted by the defend ant's counsel and refused by the lower court. Peter Weaver, it will be remember ed, while loading iron oil a detached car at the Reading Iron Works in lsit'.t was struck by another car which was pushed around the curve bv the switch er. One of his legs was badly man gled necessitating amputation. The case when tried attracted a good deal of attention and was very stub bornly fought by both sides. The Jury found for the plaintiff awarding dam ages in £SOOO. Fine Cemetery Work. The graves of the late Daniel Ed wards and his wife in the Episcopal cemetery, this place, have just been marked with two very fine pieces of cemetery work, turned out at the yard of T. L. Evans' Sons, this city. Each of the tombs is of Westerly granite,sarcophagus in design,six feet, six inches by three feet, six inches by two feet, six inches. The inscriptions, which are iu old English, are cut on the sides. Each tomb is surmounted by a cross of polished granite. The general excellence of the work has been much eomnicnti d upon and attests that T. L. Evans' Sons are artistic and up-to-date workmen and that Danville iu point of facilities and variety of its industries is abletoconi pcte successfully with any other town of this section. Cuban Giants are Coining. The original Cuban Giants will play in this city on Friday and Saturday, June <i and 7. Manager McCoy re ceived a telegram yesterday afternoon from John M.

There has been quite a boom I the past few days in these stoves and those who have gotten them, as well as those who intend doing likewise, will not be worried over the strike during the summer. The scarcity of coal in the yards of the local retail dealers has also been the cause of an activity in the wood market. A reporter of this paper visited near ly every coal "vard in Danville Mon day and the story was the same at all the places, very little coal on hand and no prospects of getting any. One dealer summed up the local situation by saying that there are not over fifty tons of coal in the stock of all the Danville retailers. At another yard the newsman was informed that no orders had been taken for two weeks and that there were but eight tons in stock. One of the men interviewed express ed the opinion that it would be better if the bituminous miners would al-o go out. This would bring on a-crisis and force a settlement of the question, lie said that so long a- the bituminous mines kept the mark< i supplied the situation in the anthracite region could be prolonged indefinitely. Miners are leaving the coal regions in large numbers, many of them having secured work here and at Milton. The foreigners are going across th ■ sea to their homes, where they < xpect to re main so long as the strike is in effect. It looks now as if nothing will b ■ done until next Monday, the time fixed for calling out the engineers, firemen and pumpmen. This action will greatly enhance the gravity of the situation. The operators certainly do not want their properties mini d. but what plans they have in view to pre vent the mines from being flooded are unknown. The mine worke - s claim that ninety per cent of the firemen will strike. The engineers and pump men seem satisfied with present con ditions. Many individual operators are will ing to grant an eight hour day and an increase of wage- of '!'> per cent, in accordance with the wage <cale adopt ed by the convention of mine worker held at Shamokin in March. How - ever, it i- thought that none of the miners will he allowed to retnm to work until the big corporation grain the demand- <>f the union. Walter L. Main's Circus The famous, original and only <'ycle Da/./.le will give the circu- patron- ol Sunburv and vicinity their lir-t sight of what has been called the inarv> lons "Cycle Whirl." It is a large bowl shaped track, placed in the center ol the vast arena of the On at Walter L. Main stupendous three ring circuses. This sensational moipict has proven one of the most unique features evi r witnessed. It is impos-ible to give :m adequate conception of the daring and exciting act. The riders race on a track that i- shaped more like a fun nel than anything else. Imagine a funnel made of fence rails with heroic females racing at lightning speed around the perilously straight sides. As the riders pile on "steam" they ,11 e pushing up me sides ot tiie track by centrifugal force,milil their wheels and bodies are in an almost horizontal position. They also introduce single and ensemble riding of all kinds, and during the act will play a game, ot cycle polo. Tliers are scores of other new feat ures with this tremendous show. For nerve-tingling and amazing | erl'or nianee, the (Treat Walter L. Main ag gregation seem well entitled to the championship. The aerial part of the elaborate and brilliant circus program presents the most noted of Europ ean and American male and female aerialists, in a phenomenal and novel series of mid-air flights, leaps, dives, evolutions,catches and other exclusive feats, many of which are seemingly impossible to beings without w ings. It is a universal exhibition of the most original and daring exploits, thrilling and attractive. Walter L. Main's circus will appear in Sunburv on Thursday, June sth. A Surprise Party.
