Trouble for Fanners.
MONTGOMERY, Oct. 7.—The farm
ers are iu for their share of ill luok iu
this vicinity. The late potatoes are
rottiug and the recent rain has ruiued
the corn and buckwheat crops. There
will be no buckwheat iu this viciDity
to thresh this fall. Tho recent raius
have caused it to sprout and spoiled it.
The corn fodder is turniug black and
many acres will be unfit for use as
feed. The com also is only partially
ripe, and the corn hereabouts will prob
ably be scarce.
The Festive Candidate.
Here's the festive candidate. He
kissed the baby and rubbed the heads
of Sam and Sue. He swore tho twins
were beautiful and wished he had two
—but that doesn't count. He asked
about the corn bread, which he vainly
tried to chaw, and forthwith begged
or the recipe, of course that tickled
ma—but that doesn't count. But just
before he left he stopped and winked,
closed up his jaw, and slipping out be
hind the barn, he took a driuk with
pa—aud that's what counts.
To Kelieve the Situation-
A popular method for relieving
the necessities of the people for coal
is that the miners goto work at the
samu pay as they were getting before
the strike and continue mining coal
uutil the more stringent demands are
supplied. This course on the part of
the miners would entitle them to wide
public sympathy, an important aid in
the struggle in which they are now
engaged. This would bo an important
concession on the part of the ininerH
and might lead to similar ones on the
part of the operators.

became so lame and pained me'so that
after getting home at niglit I could
hardly straighten. Hoadaces aud
weariness disinclined me lor anything |
and in addition I was troubled with

WARD KERNS
BADLY INJURED
Our townsman, Henry Kerns,yester
day received a telegram from Pitts
burg statiug that his son, J. Ward
Kerns, who is employed by the West
inghouse company, has been seriously
injured. There are no details. The
telegram, which is from the Charity
Hospital, merely states that Ward is
seriously injured ;that the accident oc
curred on October Ist aud that pn opera
tion will be necessary.
Mr. Kerns has written to Pittsburg
for fuller information and is anxious
ly awaiting a reply. From Charles
Purcoll, a friend of Wards, who was
in Pittsburg last week, Mr. Kerns yes
terday learned that his son up to a
recent date held a position in the office
of the Westinghouse concern, but that
tempted by better remuneration he ac
cepted a position in the machinery de
partment of the works.
Mr. Kerns from the tone of the tele
gram is convinced that Ward's condi
tion is very grave. He doubts whether
he is conscious, otherwise, he reasons,
a message would have been sent soon
er. He thinks the delay may have
been caused by au effort to locate the
family of the injured man.
Ward Kerns is a Dauville boy. He
is a graduate of our High School and
he spent tho greater part of his life in
this city. He has many friends here
who much regret to hear of the mis
fortune which has befallen him. Ward
served three years in tho United States
Army in the Philippines. He was
mustered out last spring. He spent the
summer at the home of his father iu
this city, leaving for Pittsburg about
two months ago.
Public Library Warmed With Wood.
The Thomas Beaver Free Library
Saturday tried the experiment of burn
ing wood in the hot water furnaces iu
the cellar by which the building is
heated. The results were most gratify
ing. Uusplit wood was used, the
pieces being four feet long. Filling
the furnace with these in tho morning
it was unnecessary to replenish the lire
until noon, while the radiators gave
forth a steady and sufficient heat. In
every respect tho wood proved as
efficient as coal and causing very little
if any more trouble.
Wood is also being used in the Smead
& Wells lurnaces of the public school
buildings with equally good results.
The intention of the school board was
to supplant the use of wood with soft
coal when winter approached, but
with tho price of bituminous coal
soaring around tho high water ma;k
attained at present the expediency of
trying the use of wood all winter, or
until hatd coal can he obtained, will
no doubt receive serious consideration.

TWO KILLED IN
WRECK IT HILTON
While running at full speed P. & E.
Erie Express, north-bound, run into a
draft of freight cars just below the Mil
ton passenger station early Saturday
morning. Engineer James Wlieeland,
of Harrishurg, who was running the
passenger train, and Conductor Ed
ward Stringer, of Northumberland, of
the freight crew, were instantly kill
ed. Albert Schaffer, of Sunbury, the
passenger fireman, had his skull frac
tured, right arm crushed to the shoulder
and was otherwise injured. He is in
the Mary M. Packer hospital and bis
condition last evening was without
improvement. If he survives the ter
rible shock it will be necessary to
amputate the arm at the shoulder.
Isaac Phillips, of Harrishurg, the bag
gageniaster, fell down a sixteen foot
culvert while running ahead to Hag
trains and suffered severe bruises.
The freight, which was bound from
Sunbury to Renovo, was doing some
shifting at the Milton freight station
and there was no warning to the pas
senger engineer of anything being on
the track. He did not see the freight
cars until almost upon them. Con
ductor Stringer was seated on the top
of tho roar freight car with his back
towards the passenger train. He was
unaware of its approach until ho was
hurled to death beueatli the wheels.
Two brakemen escaped injury by
jumpiug. None of the passengers were
hurt and only the engine and two ex
press cars were wrecked,although they
wore completely smashed. The froight
cars were reduced to kindling wood.
Engineer Wheeland formerly lived in
Sunbury and his father, the late Ben
jamin Wheeland, was at one time an
engineer on the Bloomsburg division
of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad.
Birth-marks which mark and mar

beras a birth-mark on the skin there
ate many who bear an indeliblo birth

have nervous children and many a man
and woman owes an irrratable and de

of dread when the mother waited the

With strength comes a buoyancy of
spirits and quietness of mind, which is
one of the happiest gifts a mother can

Heavy Fall Rains.
Tho heavy rain of Sunday inter
ferred very much with attendance at
church, at both morning and evening
service. During a brief interval in the
afternoon the sun shone, but on the
whole it was unsafe to venture upon
the streets without an umbrella.
Tho country roads under the fre
quent rains are very soft and muddy,
the wheels at many places sinking in
to the depth of several inches. Tho
streams are full to overflowing. Un
der the circumstances it is not probable
that the river will fall much below
the present point, which is still some
five feet above low water mark.
More Trainmen Being Employed.
During the past few days twenty
seven brakemen have been hired for
the Shamokin divison of the P. & R.
railroad Strike leaders claim that the
reason tho company is hiring so many
men is in order to be prepared in case
some of their crews refuse to handle
hard coal. Officials claim that the
extra force of men is being [hired be- j
cause the company expects the coal
traffic to increase. All tho old hands
on tho division have been pressed in
to service, owing to the fact that tho
freight traffic on this division was
never better and the extra men will
be needed in case the coal output is
increased.

COAL COMING
FROM ALL SOURCES
Contrary to what is generally sup
posed there is in the aggregate a great
deal of coal in the cellars of our town,
carried over from last year. The real
ly provident and long-headed individu
al when the strike was agitated last
spring foreseeing what was likely to
occur bought all the coal ho could get.
As a result it is no secret that there
are a number of cellars about town
that are filled to the top notch. These
fellows may not he saving much about
their good luck, but their faces show :
that some of the troubles that other j
people have do not weigh upon them.
In these days of stringency coal is
apt to materialize from sources where
it was little dreamed of. For inst
ance, J. L. Pursell, a farmer living
between this city and Grovania, has
discovered that he has a whole car load
of coal to dispose of. Mr. Pursell,who
has a lime kiln on his farm, one year
ago purchased a car load of good sized
coal, which up to the present he has
lied no occasion to use in burning
limo.
Several persons in town who badly
wanted coal learned of Mr. Pursell's
supply and they importuned him to
sell them a portion with so much
urgency that he finally decided ta get
rid of the whole car load. He was in
this city delivering a load Tuesday.
The fact that some one had genuine
anthracite coal to sell caused a big ex
citement and the m.tn was stopped at
nearly every square and deluged with
offers. To all it was the same story:
the coal was all engaged. The prico
received was thirty cents per cwt.,but
forty cents per cwt. was offered by
those very anxious to buy.

' GULF STREAM MARK 3.
The Coame of the Flow Thronnh
the Ocean I'lnlnly Indicated.
The color of the stream is percepti
bly deeper blue than that of the neigh
boring sea, this blueness forming one
of the standard references of the nau
tical novelists. The depth of color 18
due to the high percentage of salt con
tained as compared with the cold green
water of higher latitudes, observation
havlug shown that the more salt held
in solution by sea water the more in
tensely blue Is its color. Thus even in
extratropteal latitudes we sometimes
observe water of a beautiful blue col
or, ns for Instance, In the Mediterra
nean and in other nearly landlocked
basins, where the influx of fresher wa
ter, being more or less impeded, tho
percentage of salt contained is raised
by evaporation above the average, says
the National Geographic Magazine.
Another important fact in connection
with the stream Is its nlniost tropical
temperature, due to tho fact that its
high velocity enables It to reach the
middle latitudes with very little loss
of heat. Upon entering Its limits the
temperature of the sea water frequent
ly shows a rise of ten degrees and ev< n
fifteen degrees. It was this fact that
gave to the stream In the later .wars
of the eighteenth century and the ear
lier years of the nineteenth an impor
tance In tho minds of navigators that
It no longer possesses. In those days
the chronometer, invented by Harri
son In 1705, was still an experiment.
Instruments were crude nnd nautical
tables often at fault.
The result was that the determina
tion of tho longitude was largely a
matter of guesswork, a vessel after a
voyage from the channel to America
often being out of her reckoning by de
grees instead of by minutes. The Idea,
first suggested by Benjamin Franklin,
that the master of a vessel, by observ
ing the temperature of the surface wa
ter, could tell the moment of his entry
into the gulf stream and could hence
fix his position to within a few miles
was hailed with delight.
The method was published in 17!K>
by Jonathan Williams in a work
lengthily entitled "Thermometricnl
Navigation: Being a series of experi
ments and observations tending to
prove that by ascertaining the relative
heat of the sea water from time to
time the passage of a ship through the
gulf stream and from deep water into
soundings may be discovered in time
to avoid danger." In this work he
makes a patriotic comparison of the
gulf stream to a streak of red, white
and blue, painted upon the surface of
the sea for the guidance of American
navigators.
The Man and the Wave.
Once upon a time a man was tilling
a talo of woe that unveiled his matri
monial experience.
"It was all on account of a little
dainty handkerchief." he said. "The
first time that I saw the girl and be
fore we had been Introduced she waved
that bit of lace at me, and 1 was car
lied away. It was a fall In love and
then matrimony. Isut, alas, that deli
cate handkerchief was no index to the
girl's nature, and I found myself
Wrecked on the sea of matrimony."
