SUMMONS IN
TRESPASS ARE ISSUED
A suit for damages in trespass
against the Pennsylvania railroad
company lias grown out of the grade
crossing accident at Watsontowu last
winter in which Joseph B. Cromley
and his little son David of this coun
ty, lost their lives. Summons in tress
pass were issued in the prothonotarys
office here, on September (sth, return
able at next term of court. Summons
have been issued in three distinct
cases,one in which Sarah C. Crouiley,
the widow, is named as the plaintiff;
another in which David Foust,father
in-law of the deceased, is named and
still another in which David Foust
and Jeremiah Cromley, administrat
ors, are the plaintiffs.
The accident recalled by this suit
was a most shocking affair. On Thurs
day January 10th last, Joseph B.
Cromley who resided on the Clark
farm, Limestone township,near Wash
ingtonville, accompanied by his five
year-old son David drove to Watson
towu to sell a load of grain. There
was snow on the ground and Mr.
Cromley used a sled, driving two
horses. The grain was sold to W. A.
Lesher and after unloading Mr. Crom
ley'started ou his homeward drive.
On the crossing of the Pennsylvania
railroad near the station the sled was
struck by the Buffalo Flyer. Joseph
Cromley and his sou both were killed,
the former, whose skull was crushed,
dyiug instantly and the latter surviv
ing but a few minutes and never re
gaining consciousness. Both horses
were killed.
W. J. Baldv, E. S. Gearhart and
James Scarlet of this city represent
the plaintiff.

A New Stack.
A now stack was raised over the
engine room of the Silk Mill Mon
day morning. The work was started
at five o'clock and it took three hours
to get the big stack in place. This
made a delay in starting the mill as
it was nino o'clock before steam was
gotten up and the machines began
running. The blowing of the whistle
at this late hour caused an apprehen
sion that something had gone wrong
at the mill. However, in this inst
ance the late blasts of the whistle
augured good, indicating that all was
well
Foundations are now being laid east
of the main building, on the Confer
lot, for the addition to the mill. This
is to be the same width as the present
building and will extend across the
lot allowing space for a driveway
around the end of the addition. A
frame house formerly stood on this
lot, but it was moved several months
ago to the Second Ward to make way
for the improvements to this growing
industry. Some delay was experienc
ed in getting stone, but this difficulty
has been overcome and the work of
laying the foundations is being push
ed as rapidly as possible.
The addition will be of brick and
will contain the offices of the Silk
Mill and also of the Colonial Spinning
Company. The plant of the Colonial
company is in Berwick, but its offices
are to be transferred here. This addi
tion will also make room for placing
m ire machinery in the main building,
thus increasing the capacity of the
plant. At the rear of the property,
fronting ou the river,the ground is be
ing leveled off in order to make way
for farther improvements whenever
they may be necessary.
Farmers' Anrual Picnic.
The annual picnic and reunion of
the farmers of this county was held
Saturday in the grove at the No 2.
school house, near the residence of
David Heimbach, Cooper township.
There were several hundred present
and the day was pleasautly spent. It
was decided to hold the picnic and re
union next, year at the same place on
the first Saturday in September.

Collection of Indian Relics Sold.
Will G. Brown has sold his fine col
lection of Indian relics to Christopher
Wren of Plymouth. Mr. Brown's col
lection comprises arrow heads, spears,
axes, hammers, celts, skinning im
plements, knives, chisels, specimens
of pottery, beads and pipes, several
hundred pieces in all. They repre
sented many years of patient industry
ou the part of the collector. Mr.
Brown began in 1870 and in his search
for relics trod and retrod every foot
of the land along the river bank, be
tween Reed's Island and Cameron.
As is well known the North Branch
was intimately associated with Indian
history. This very spot especially
once teemed with Red Men. Natural
ly, the banks of the river hen* were
rich in Indian relics. It is remarkable
what an enormous quantity in the ag
gregate have been gathered here and
are now scattered over the country. Mr
Brown's fine lot is the last collection
to leave the spot where the crude im
plements fell from the hands of the
primitive people by whom they were
fashioned and used.
The harvest of Indian relics here
has been gathered. Few remain today
and such collections as were gathered
in the past will be impossible in the
future.

BOTH WELLS
ARE CLEANED
A force of men under Superintend
ent P. J. Keefer Tuesday completed
cleaning the river wells which supply
the filter plant. The well along shore
was cleaned last week. On Monday
morning work was begun on the
second well situated out in the stream
about forty yards from shore. This
was found to be a comparatively easy
job. The second well is connected
! with the first by au underground pipe
and a good deal of the mud in it last
week was drawn into the well being
I'-leaned by the suction caused by
pumping.
The section of the covering remov
ed for cleaning was carefully rej lac
ed yesterday and the tops sealed, so
that both wells now are in shape to
materially assist, ill the work of filtra
tion.
It is not generally known how these
wells are constructed and the object
tor which they were installed. The
tops, which are barely above low
water mark,are familiar enough. Each
well is of iron, 50 feet long, by 8 feet
wide and 10 feet deep. The water can
enter only by filtering through the
sand in which they are embedded, the
bottoms alone affording any opening.
The wells have proven pretty good
filters and wafer pumped from them
when the river was quite muddy has
been found to be comparatively clear.
They no doubt answered a good pur
pose before the filter plant was in
stalled and even now are not to lit!
lost sight of as a factor in cleansing
and purifying the water.
The only difficulty lies in the fact
that the wells are not of sutficie.it ca
pacity to supply the town when more
than the minimum is required and it
is very often necessary to uncover the
manhole to admit the water direct
from the river. This renders the wells
of no account as a filtering agency and
leads to the accumulation of mud and
trash inside, such as has made the
recent cleaning necessary.
Swung Around the Circle.
South Danville is a pretty place. Its
shaded streets and cosy residences
make it a delight to the lover of all
that is beautiful. That mankind
should look upon it with favorable
eyes is not at all strange, but its
charms have even appealed to the
equities. At least there is one horse
so pleased with South Danville that
it loses no opportunity to gambol
through its streets. This horse is
owned by Jesse Shannon and its home
is right, in South Danville.
Tuesday morning while Mr. Shan
non was selling meat lie went into the
store of T. W. Clayton, opposite the
Pennsylvania passenger station, leav
ing his supposedly quiet steed stand
ing in the road. But as soon as the
screen doors hid the form of Mr. Shan
non Mr. Horse took a rapid constitu
tion tl through South Danville, as
aforesaid. Past the grist mill and up
the road, thence across to DeWitt's
Park, with it- sylvan nooks, a dash
through pretty Riverside and back to
the railroad was the circle around
which Mr. Shannon's horse swung. It
is evident that the animal intended
returning to the Clayton store to as
certain whether or not Mr. Shannon
had concluded his business there, but
below the station the jaunt was stop
ped by T. A. Adams, who led the
horse back to the starting point. The
meat was jostled about somewhat, but
otherwise everything was in good
shape
Last Week of Early Closing.
This is the last week of early clos
ing, September 15th being the date
selected as the limit, after which the
stores will he at liberty to remain
open until as late an hour as conveni
ent. As a matter of fact tomorrow
night will wind up early closing for
the season, as Saturday night brings
an exception when the stores always
remain open.
It is remarkable how people are at
tracted to Mill street when the stores
are open and to what extent it is de
serted when the stores are closed.
This ordinarily busy thoroughfare
after dark has been one id' the lone
liest parts of town during the last
couple of months. It will no doubt
bo lively enough next week.
Summoned by Death.
Ethel Everett, daughter of John and
Elizabeth Everett,died yesterday morn
ing, at the home of her parents,
Spruce and Cherry streets, after an
illness of a few hours. She was trou
bled for several months with an asth
matic affection and was quite ill on
Sunday. On Tuesday evening she ate
supper with the family and seemed to
be much better, but during the night
she was seized with another attack
from which she was unable to rally.
Medical aid was sent for but. nothing
could be done to relieve the suffering
of the little one. She was aged three
years, six months and sixteen days.
The funeral will bo held at her late
home this afternoon at three o'clock.
Interment will be made in the Odd
Fellows' cemetery.
Will Enter Lafayette College.
Harry Gaskius, son of Walter Gask
ins, West Mahoning street,left Monday
morning for Easton where he will en

student and is well prepared to enter
upon a course at college.

CHILDREN 10ST
GO TO SCHOOL
With the opening of school comes
the season of truancy and many of the
boys reluctantly betake themselves to
their daily tasks in the school room
Once upon a time "hookey" could be
played witli only the fear of parental
wrath fin detection of the offense.
Now this has changed as the common
wealth of Pennsylvania says that chil
dren must attend school, with penal
ties for failure to comply with the
law.
At the last session of Legislature a
strong compulsory education act was
passed. It provides that all children
between the ages of six and sixteen
must attend the entire school term.
School boards are empowered, how
ever, to reduce the minimum attend
ance to seventy per centum, which
was done by the Danville Board at its
annual June in. ding. Teachers are
required to notify the truant officer
when a pupil lias been absent flirte
days. Parents are held responsible for
the regular attendance of their chil
dren and it is made a misdemeanor to
refuse to obey the law. For the first
offense a fine of $"2 is imposed, and for
the second and subsequent offenses the
fine is $5. II the line is not paid two
days imprisonment is the alternative
for the first offense and five days for
subsequent, offenses.
Children who become habitual
truants can be arrested and placed in
a state home. William E. Young is
the truant officer in this city and
Ralph Kisner, Esq., is solicitor for
the School Board. As the law must
hi! enforced there is trouble in store
for parents who neglect sending their
children to school. The act makes
an exception between the ages of
thirteen and sixteen, provided the
child is able to read and write the
English language intelligibly.
To Hold a Harvest Festival.
The Harvest Festival of the Salva
tion Army will be held in the Army
Hall Ferry street, September 13 to
1(5, during which time the officers of
the local corps will gladly receive,
and if desirable call for, any and
every gilt, whether of produce, manu
facture or otherwise, which may be
either directly useful or saleable.
It may be generally said that aside
from cash, which is always immed
iately useful, such gifts as the follow
ing will lie found readily available:
Fruit, flowers, canned goods, veget
ables, fish, meat,chickens, live stock,
corn, flour, wheat, oatmeal, condens
ed milk, bread, crackers, cheese, tea,
coffee, cocoa, books,pictures, jewelry,
shoes, coal, wood, lumber, shingles,
chairs, sheets, blankets,cutlery, tools,
furniture, new or used; clothing,new
or second-hand.
The officers desire to be understood
that literally no useful object will
be unwelcome; articles which may
locally have 110 market value, may
none the less lie disposed of at. some
Army centre, with results highly val
uable and helpful to the Army work.
When it is remembered that there are
. in the American Salvation Army field

and employes, 105 Social Relief Insti
tutions, 24 Slum Settlements, 20 Res

or something like 2,500,000 annually,

for the unemployed that there are in
the neighborhood of 45,000 annual con
versions and that considerably more
than $250,000 are annually expended
by The Army in relieving the worthy
poor alone it. can be easily understood
that there are few articles indeed of
which Salvation Army workers can
not make some use.
Robert B. Mantell Friday Night.
The average person seldom realizes
the work embodied in the details of
making an oidinary stage production
and much lew understands the time
and energy spent preparing large pro
ductions. Before the footlights the
spectacle is most pleasing, but how
many spectators have even a remote
idea of the many small details re
hearsed for weeks, gradually put to
gether and finally presented. Prob
ably the most difficult productions are
those of the classic drama, to which
110 actor can more justly lay claim to
superiority than Mr. Robert. Mantell,
whose artistic productions have met
with unmeasured success from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. Mr. Mantell,

A Certain Cure lor Dysentery and Diar
rhoea.
"Some yeais ago I was one of a
party that intended making a long
bicycle trip," says F. L. Taylor, of
New Albany, Bradford County, Pa.
"I was taken sudeuly with diarrhoea
and was about to give up the trip,
when editor Ward, of the Laceyville
Messenger, suggested that I take a
dose of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. I purchased
a bottle and took two doses,one before
starting and one on the route. I made
the trip successfully, and never felt
any ill effect. Again last summer I
was almost completely run down with
an attack of dysentery. I bought a
bottle of this same remedy, and this

COUNCIL WILL
MARE NO REPAIRS
The alley between the St. Elmo
Hotel and the Swentek building,
which has been the subject of a good
deal of controversy of late,may event
ually be closed to the public. It all
depends upon whether the alley be
longs to the borough or is private
property.
Mr. Swentek, who takes the view
that it is borough property, has been
before council off and 011 lor a year
past protesting against the bad condi
tion into which the alley has been
permitted to fall. Being barely wide
enough for one vehicle deep ruts are
produced and the wheels of the
heavily laden wagons in passing exert
a pressure. 011 the foundation walls on
each side which proves injurious to
the buildings. Mr. Swentek wants
the pavement repaired, tilled up and
between the two buildings paved with
either asphalt or concrete
Thijigs came to a crisis on Friday
night when Mr. Swentek was present
to renew his plea. Without taking
any formal action council citing an
opinion 011 the subject declared that
the alley is private property and dis
claimed all responsibility for its con
dition. As owner of the alley Mr.
Swentek was informed by council
that all repair devolves upon liini and
that if he does not like the state of
affairs it is his privilege to close up
the alley.
So the matter rests. Mr. Sypentek
has not stated what lie intends to do
in the matter. If closed, the alley
would be very much missed, as if is
the only exit from the rear of two
business blocks.
Onions a Very Profitable Crop.
M. S. Bond of Chulaskey, believes
that in order to make the cultiva
tion of the soil pay in this locality it
is necessary to depart from such
staples as wheat, and corn and em
bark upon the growing of other com
modities such as will produce a great
er yield per acre. In canying out his
idea, this year he put out one-half an
acre in onions and the result sur
passes his most sanguine expectations.
The crop is now gathered and sum
ming up, Mr. Bond discovers that in
point of profit onions discounts by a
wide margin any other product of
the soil.
of the half acre under cultivation
Mr. Bond sold sllß worth of green
onions, disposing ot them in bunches
at our curb stone market. This re
duced the ground under cultivation
from one-half to three-eighths of an
acre. From this fraction of an acre
lie has gathered 1550 bushels of dried
onions, which find a ready sale today
at 75 cents per bushel, but which be
fore the holidays can be disposed of
at a much higher figure, probably at
$1 per bushel.
Mr. Bond's experiment has shown
that an acre of ground will produce
over 000 bushels of dried onions, a
commodity which can easily bo dis
posed of, if not in the local market
at least by shipping. The price sel
dom falls below the figure quoted
above and is often above it. A little
figuring, it would seem, must con
vince any farmer, who is familiar
with the cost of the onion settings
and the labor involved, that there is
more money in onions, than he is apt
to realize in the cultivation of any
other kind of truck not excepting
tomatoes, which are considered a pro
fitable crop. Corn, wheat or any of
the farm staples could not he made to
produce sls per acre.

THE TEACHING OF
MUSIC A SUCCESS
Music, tlio new study added to the
curriculum this year, gives to the
routine of school work a new interest
shared in alike by teacher and pupil.
It has required hut one week to dem
onstrate that the addition ot the new
study must he attended with success
and that the schedule providing for
the classes is wisely arranged,conven
iently taking in all the work and leav
ing none of the time unoccupied.
Miss Weiss, the music teachei,gives
two lessons in each ward every week,
occupying twenty minutes with each
class. On Mondays she devotes the
forenoon to the First Ward schools
and the afternoon to tlie Third Ward
schools. <hi Tuesday forenoon she
visits the Second Ward and in the
afternoon the Fourth Ward schools.
On Wednesday and Thursday the
order is repeated. On alternate days,
when the music teacher is busy in
other wards, the icgular teacher takes
up the work, reviewing the preced
ing day's drill.
On Friday of each week Miss Weiss
devotes herself to supervisory work.
The system employed is a very easy
and natural one,so that teachers very
readily grasp the method, while the
pupils have become quite enthusiastic
over the study of music and already
show progress.
The study of music begins with the
first grade hut this being the year ot
its introduction all grades are 011 a
level at present and the chart designed
for the first year's work is in general
use. After the first year hooks take
the place of the chart.
Borough Superintendent Gordy yes
terday stated that the teachers and
himself are very much encouraged.
The little drawbacks looked forward
to as unavoidable have failed to ma
terialize. He states that he has a
musicale in contemplation that may
he a feature of the county institute or
may take place in the Higli School
room a little later than that event for
the purpose of revealing the degree of
progress made by the pupils in the
study of music.
A puny child is always an anxiety to
the parents. There seems generally no
reason why the little one should he
weak when it so well fed. But the
fact is that it does not matter bow
much food the child takes if the stomach
cannot extract nourishment from it.
No benefit can be derived from just eat
ing. That is the condition of many a
sicklychild. The stomach and organs
of dig«stion and nutrition are not doing
their work, and the body is realy starv
ing. It is little use to give fish food,
like cod liver oil or emulsions, in such
a case, because these have to lie digest
ed .they may lighten the stomach's labor
but they don't strengthen it. Strength
is what the stomach needs. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery strengthens
the stomach, nourishes the nerves and
increases the action of the blood making
glands. It is superior to every other
prepartion for children's use,on account
of its l»ody building qualities, and also
because it is pleasant to the taste and
contains no alcohol, whiskey or other in
toxicant. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
are valuable aid when the I towels are
irregular. They are small. Children
take tkem readily.
