WILLIAM IIHMIHIIK SOiTS SAD FATE Our town was shocked Monday by the news of a very tragic affair invol ving the mysterious death of a well known young man of Riverside, who had been missing since Friday. Monday evening his dead body was found about two miles above Catawissa. Friday morning William Hendrick son along with several other young men of Riverside left for Bloomsburg to attend the centennial celebration. He failed to return with his compan ions, who wore unable to give any ex planation of his absence. His par ents became very anxious and when Saturday night came and Monday morning dawned and he failed to put iu an appearance thev felt sure that he must have met with some tragic fate. The missing young man was 21 years of age, a son of William Hcndrickson, who Monday spent every moment of his time trying to locate his son dead or alive. John Hendrickson,a brother, went to Bloomsburg Monday to make iuquiry, but returned sorrow fully in the evening without any tid ings. About six o'clock Chief Mincemoy er was called up by Dr. Sharpless of Catawissa, coroner,who stated that a dead body corresponding to that of the missing man had been found. In re sponse to this intelligence John Hen drickson went to Catawissa and ident ified the body as that of his brother. The body was found at the foot of an embankment along the Pennsylvan ia railroad between Catawissa and Mainville. The body had the appear ance of being dead for at least three days and was badly decomposed. It lay in an out of the way place along the bank of the creek which accounts for its not having been discovered be fore. Undertaker Thomas E. Harder ot Catawissa took the remains in charge. Dr. Sharpless informed this paper last Monday night that according to all appearances the body had been struck by the cars or thrown from a train. One hand is badly cut and the head is scarred. The coroner had not vet made an official examination Mon night hut he said Undertaker Harder had informed him that the dead man's neck was broken. The young man's movements from the time he left Bloomsburg until overtaken by death are enshrouded in mystery. Coroner's Jury Renders Verdict. There is an element of mystery about the death of William Hendrick son Jr., whose dead body was found near Catawissa Monday, which the most painstaking investigation fails to clear up. The verdict of the cor oner's jury was to the effect that the deceased met his death accidentally, either iu falling or jumping from a train. These facts seem self-evident, but why the young man should have separated himself from his companions and in stead of returning home where he knew he was expected without a word of explanation should have started in quite an opposite direction are mat ters which puzzle the family very much. He was a young man of cor rect habits, devoted to his parents. He was always careful not to cause anxiety and was never known to ab sent himself from home needlessly. Jesse Snyder and Heber Minier, two young men ot Riverside,who ac companied him to Bloomsburg saw him last on Friday night about 11 o'clock. He was still 111 Blooms burg on Satuiday morning and was seen by Miss Bessie Yoeuiu of South Danville, who knew him well and feels confident that she was not mis taken. The body was discovered by Frank Stumpf, a sort of a wandeier, who had left the beaten ways of travel and sought the creek for the purpose of washing. Stumpf, an elderly man, very demonstrative in manner, was seen in Riverside Tuesday afternoon. The body, he said, occupied such a po sition at the foot ot a high retaining wall as to be out of sight from the track. The fall from the cars above was one of over thirty feet. The body lay over a log. face downward. The dead man's watch and other val uables 011 his person were undisturbed William Heudiickson was a young man quiet and retiring iu his manner. A year or so ago he took a course in Russell's short hand college ill this city, later accepting a position a stenographer with a Philadelphia firm More recently he was employed on an engineer corps of the D. L. & W. rail road. When the miners' strike was inaugurated he was suspended and during the summer he has been at home. The father and motliei of the young man are both living. He is survived also by one brother, John, of Wilkes barre; and two sisters, Mrs. Paul Stout of Milton and Miss Maggie, who lives at home. Mrs. W. H. Mauger and Mrs Philip Oromley of this city are half sisters of the deceased. Examining the Susquehanna. C. A. Miner, of the United States Engineer Corps,stationed at Washing ton, is iu Sunhury examining the Susquehanna river to ascertain the feasibility of making the stream nav igable from Northumberland to tide water.

Crossley, a leading and well known citizen of Mahoning township, died suddenly on Saturday morning. Mr. ('rossley who attends our curb stone market, arose about r> o'clock in the morning feeling about as well as usual; he went to the barn, fed his horse and loaded his wagon, after which he proceeded to the house fo await his breakfast. While seated 111 his chair a change came over him, which his wife noticed and she went to his assistance. Mrs. Crossley was unable to do anything for her husband and almost before she realized it he expired, seated in the chair. The news of his sudden demise prov ed quite a shock to his neighbors and friends. It was nowhere received with greater surprise than in this city where the deceased was a most famil iar figure,having attended our curb stone market regularly for twenty years past. He was a sociable,large hearted man and had many friends. His integrity was undoubted and 011 different occasions he was rewarded with public office. He was several times school director of Mahoning township, his last term expiring with the present year. He was twice stew ard ot the alms house in the Danville and Mahoning Poor District of this county. He was also a veteran of the late Rebellion, serving under Captain Eplilin, at the beginning of the war. The deceased was (>C> years of age. He is survived by his wife and two sons, John and Homer, who occupy one of the farms belonging to the fam ily iu Gearhart township, Northum berland county. Mr. Crossley's death was due to heart trouble. II > experienced a very bad spell a few weeks ago, which came very near proving fatal. Burglars at Meyer's Hotel. Burglars entered the hotel of G. A. Myers, at No. :!:!<"> Walnut street, Sun day morning and stole a silver tea set, some change and several gallons of whiskey. The door opening from a side porch had been left unlocked for one of the hoarders and through this the burglars walked into the dining room. The silverware was 011 a side hoard. The dishes were all removed, but none were taken. Then a visit was made to the bar room where the cash drawer was forced open. There was about |l.2;> in change in it and this was transfer red to xehequcr of the burglars. A piece of car spring was used toopen the drawer and this was left upon the floor. Several gallons of whiskey also disappeared. It is thought that the time of the burglary was between midnight and two o'clock. Funeral of Mrs. Herman Rieck. The funeral ot Mrs. Frederica Rieck, widow of Herman Rieck, wis held Sunday afternoon in St. John's Her man Lutheran church, the service be ing conducted by the pastor. Rev. Wesley Wenner.

Among those present at the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Herman Rieck, of Philadelphia; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Rieck,of Reading,and Adolph Rieck and children, of Omaha, Ne braska. Drew the Morris Chair. The K. G. E. festival held in the Baldj' Building Mill street, Saturday evening was a big success.

LABOR M PICNICS Keen interest was manifested in this city Monday in the events of Labor Day. All the industries were closed and most of the business places also observed the holiday. A big crowd, numbering thousand, was at Hunter's Park, where the annual pic nic of Mahoning Tribe, No. 77, Red Men, was held. The Danville war riors had many visiting Red Men as their guests and everybody bad an en joyable time. The feature of the pic nic was the mock adoption of palefaces given by Shikellimy Tribe, of Sliamo kin. There was also a ghost dance, corn danje and a reproduction ot In dian life on the war path. The braves from the wigwams ot the Shikellimy Tribe journeyed to the res ervation of Montour from "Shohomo kin" in gi nuine "prairie schooners". They ar ived early Monday morning and immediately set up their tepees under the pines at Hunter's Park. At DcWitt's Hark the Continental Hose Company, No. :5 also held its an nual picnic and the occasion was a merry one. The attendance ran over the two thousand mark,and the woods were filled all day with happy family parties. The Continentals made every effort to entertain their many guests and succeeded right royally. The pavilion was thronged with dan cers in the afternoon and evening. At 10 o'clock Monday morning the Con tinentals in full uniform, paraded from their hose house to the park, headed by the drum corps of Washing ton Hose Company, No. 2. This pic nic was a big success iu every way. Six hundred persons from this city went to Williamsport to attend the K. G. E. re-union. Of this number lso traveled 011 the Philadelphia & Read special train. Montour Castle, No. 1 H(>, with Stoes' band, was at the re union. Many excursionists went to Williamsport via the Lackawanna and Pennsylvania railroads. Solomou Dirk's Odd Journey. An odd incident of human life was witnessed in this city yesterday after noon. About three o'clock a large canvas covered wagon drawn by two horses came over from South Danville and made its way out Mill street to the Frazier House, where the horses were unhitched and fed. 111 the wagon was Solomon Dirk of Shamokin and ho was on his way to visit his brother in Watsontown. Mr. Dirk, a cheery, good-natured old gen tleman of seventy-eight years, was stricken with paraylsis nineteen years ago and rendered helpless. As is natural he has not lieeii going about much and the trip yesterday was a great treat to him. Solomon was taking it easy during the trip 011 a comfortable bed impro vised in the rear of the wagon. With the assistance of straps suspended from the top he was able to rise to a sitting posture when it became desir able to change his position. A crowd soon collected around the wagon. The old gentleman was in a communicative mood and kept up a hri-.k conversation during the entire stop, lie recognized several in the crowd and after a hand shake rcca li ed several of his visits to Danville pre vious to twenty years ago. The most of his reminiscences covered war times. Hard as the old man's lot seemed to bo IK- was clearly resigned to it. His mind was remarkably clear and his conversation and manner caused much wonder among those present at the wagon. Much Interest iu Registration. Yesterday was the last dav for vot ers to qualify for the fall election by having their names placed 011 the reg istration lists. In order to give all an opportunity the assessors of the voting districts throughout the county sat at the polling places from 10 a nr. 1111 til II p. m.and from (! until '.'p. 111. Today returns will be made to the County Commissioners ot the number of voters registered in each district. Considerable interest was taken iu the matter of rcgistrition.as the elec tion this November will he important. The gubernatorial and state ticket ex cites considerable interest iu the cam paign, but the local canvass will also be vigorous. There are two Congress men to be elected, a State Senator, Member of Assembly, District Attor ney, Count.v Commissioners arid Coun ty Auditors. The political pot will soon begin to bubble and boil and there will be considerable hustling done lietween now and the fourth day of November, when the ballots will be cast and the choice of the peo ple made known. Worship iu the Aninierman Building. The Tuesday night open air meet ings held on the green patch at Sage burg during the summer have been discontinued owing to the lateness ot the season. These open air meetings have undoubtedly accomplished a great ileal of good and the people there who have found them a source of inspiration and help beg that the regular weekly worship be continued in that part of town. To comply those having charge have decided to hold meetings in the Am merman building, Fast Market street, each Tuesday night at T o'clock. The different pastors of town have kindly volunteered their services to assist the good work along. September showers would be accept able uow.

If is seldom that a school term ha ojieiied so auspiciously. The build ings all cleaned and renovated are in the pink of good order and in atie --. while the attendance Tuesday was little -liort of remarkable, -arpass iug that of any "first day"for many years, it ever Is fore. Several of the rooms were crowded. The total num ber of pupils enrolled was 11 If., which is over TO more than attended the fir-r day of last term. During last year the highest number of pupils enrolled was l:r»l, and according to the present showing the total number attending this year w ill exceed those figures considerably. The high school with llii pupil enrolled has reached the high water mark of attendance. The number en rolled last year was 111), up to that time the highest in the history of the school. The increase is due to the fact that instead of dropping oat after the first year in the high school, as was too often the case formerly the pupils of that class have elected to remain and complete the coarse. Their decision in this matter re-ults both from the more practical working of the school system which appeal forcibly to the interest of the impil and to the co-operation set on foot l»e --tween teacher and parents, which keeps the latter enlightened as to the best interest of their childn n. The Second Ward grammar school is also considerably in advance of oth er years, the number of pupil- • moil ed being :« as against 1* last year. Professor C. C ShaefTcr of Moores dale, Cumberland county, assumed the principalship of the Second Ward schools, Tuesday. Other new teach ers are Miss Martha Kcim, second grade, of the First Ward schools; Mi-* Alice Guest, :!rd grade, Second Ward, and Miss Haftie Fry. Second gnwle. Fourth Ward. Too Dry for Fall Plou^hin^. That the weather of this section i suhject to great extreme- was never more forcibly demonstrated than dur ing the last five month- The drought of April and May wa* followed by two months of wet weather, which drove vegetation along at a rapid rate, but made it next to inijios-ihle for th» farmer to harvest hi- crop- Although hardly realized by those who dwell in town, where the street sprinkler ke< ; - the dust in subjection, we are again in the midst of another drought.which is very severely felt in the county. No rain of any consequence has fallen for about three week- If i* only here and there that the farmers are able to proceed with the fall ploughing. The ground, now dry and parched, was packed tight by tie heavy rain* of summer and is therefore doubly hard to jie'ietrate with the plow The dust lie* deep on the toad- and flies iii suffocating clouds before the wind, so that a drive in the country is attended with but little plevsore. The yield of late corn and |>otafo. - is likely to he affected by the drought. Improving the Side Walk-. It is commendable to note tin inter est manifested hv property owners in the improvement of their side walk and in bettering the appearance of tin city. Throughout the summer this spirit of improvement and repair has been active and the result i- that in every ward can he seen new side walks and others that have Ineii re laid to grade. Within the past few weeks, esjiecially, has thi- work on laying new pavements been going on. There remains much yet to do to bring the side walks to a uniform grade. Let every citizen of Danville take sufficient pride in his hone town to use his best endeavors to make its appearance as nood asjiossible. Riverside Schools Open.
