Davis, an old citizen and one of our most active business ! men, departed this life Sunday after- | noon after an illness of two years. The deceased, who conducted a bakerj and confectionery, was in business at the same stand on Mill street, near Mah oning for a period of nearly thirty- j seven years. No other dealer between the bridge and the canal can claim ; the distinction of conducting his busi- J uess so long at one stand. The deceased was widely known. A ' man of strict integrity, of general and ■ obliging disposition ho had friends wherever his dealings extended. He | was born in Pottsville, but came to ! Danville when a young man. Although he suffered a great deal during the latter months of his illness j yet he was much of the time up aud , about. During the last two weeks he | was very low. On Saturday death , Seemed near and Sunday afternoon shortly before 2 o'clock In* passed ; away. The deceased was fifty-nine years of j ago. His wife survives along with two ( sons and a daughter: Dr. Edward L. ; Davis of Berwick, Samuel Davis of j Pueblo, Col., and Miss Anna of this 1 city. The deceased was a veteran of the , Civil War, and the mmnh rs of Good- j rich Post, No. 22, G. A. R., will at- j tend tho funeral in a body. The funeral of William C. Davis, which took place from the late rosid- | ence,Mill street, yesterday afternoon, ! was very largely attended. The ser- | vices were conducted by Rev. Harry Curtin Harraan, pastor of St. Paul's M. E. church. The pall bearers were: Robert Adams, Samuel Mills, Michael Shires, W. L. Antrim, W. H. Animer man and William Blecher. The deceased was a veteran of the i Civil War, a member of Company M, 112 th Pennsylvania 2nd Heavy Artil lery. Tho veterans of Goodrich Post, No. 22, G. A. R., of which he was a member, thirty-five strong, turned out in a body marching with the remains to Mt. Vernon cemetery, Riverside Heights, where interment was made. The P. O. S. of A., to which the de- j ceased belonged, was also represented at the funeral, and thirteen strong marched along to tho cemetery. The floral offerings were quite j beautiful, one of them being from the j P. O. S. of A. There were tributes \ from many individual friends. The following persons from out of town attended the funeral: Miss Har- I riot Alexander, Philadelphia; Mr. i and Mrs. William Davis, Larksvillo; Daniel Davis, Thomas Davis, Abigail Davis, and Mr. and Mrs. William Parsons of Edwardsvillo ; Miss Anna bel MacDaniel.Packerton ; .Mrs. Helen i Ent, Mr?. R. G. Phillips, Mrs. F. B. ! Riddle, Bloomshurg; Mrs. R. H. Mears, Rupert; Mrs. W. V. Cruik shank, Siiamokiu aud Mr. and Mrs. Warren Stouch of Johnstowji. Regains Possession of Child. An incident occurred at Toby Run j just east of the borough, Tuesday morning, which gave rise to an ex aggerated rumor ol' kidnapping. A middle aged woman appeared in this city and employed Frank Sechler to drive her up to the Toby Run school, where sins asked for one of the pupils. In response a little girl came outside and at the sight ol tho woman ran to meet Ik r with demonstration of great delight. At tho woman's re quest the child returned to the school house aud got her wraps. The woman, with the child, then entered the cab and ordered Mr. Sechler to drive back to town in order to catch tho 10:111 D. L. & W. train east. The time was not sufficient to reach the station and the rarty d'.ove to tic Hospital where they arrived just in time to flag tho t rain. The unusual proceeding, the air ot mystery about it aud the haste with which the whole thing was done up caused no end ol talk and conjecture. The facts relating to tho affair are as follows: Some months ago Mrs. Miles Fams worth of Mahoning township took in to her household a child belonging to a family residing in Shickshinny, agreeing to care for it and raise it as her own. The long and short ot it seems to be. that the mother repenting of her bargain employed the means above described to regain possession of the child. The Vote For State Senator. The return judges of the Twenty- j fourth State Senatorial District met in j this city Tuesday, at the office of Prothonotary Vincent, to make offici al return to the state authorities at Harrishurg of the vote cast in the dis trict. Slate Senator J. Henry Coch ran, of Williamsyort, was without i opposition for re-election and tho ses sion o! the return judges was merely a mutter of form required by law. The judge l : were: Henry Divel, of Danville, for this county; James C. Watson, of Williamsport, for Lycom ing county ;Boyd F. Maize,of Blooms liurg, for Columbia county, and John W.

MUST REPAIR PAVEMENTS! The Borough Council decided Friday night to turn over a new leat and ' hereafter when taking action in any . matter to see to it that its mandates are carried out. The repairing of J pavements was under discussion when it developed that hut very few prop erty owners have complied with tin* j order of council and repaired their 1 pavements. Mr. Patton called council very severely to account. He said they were "acting like school boys," enact ing measure after measure aud then giving the matter in hand no further attention, as though tho whole object was to get it off their hands. Here and there conscientious persons, who prob ably could very illy afford it,have tak en council at its word and made what repairs are necessary, while others in bettor circumstances whose pavements are even worse are only trifling with the borough and show no signs that j they intend to make repairs. President Vastine explained that it rests with the street commissioner in this case to see to it that the mandate of council is obeyed. Property owners were given thirty days—which have very nearly expired—in which to re pair their pavements. Failing in this the street commissioner is to do the work at the owner's expense. Dallas Hummer, one of those who had complied, was before council. He had a knotty problem to solve. He followed the grade given by the Bor ough Surveyor, he said, and now his , now pavement stands three feet high er, than tho rest of the sidewalks, and his cobbled gutter when completed will be twelve inches higher than the level of the street. He is afraid that someone will meet with an accident by falling and asked for advice. He suggested that the street might be fill ed up at that point so as to give him a bottom for his cobbled gutter. Tho , entire matter was referred to the com mittee on streets and bridges, with power to take action. Frank Boyer appeared before council to report that the culvert under the D. L. W. railroad near his coal yard needs cleaning out, also that there is an accumulation of debris a short dis tance below on the borough's property, which ought to bo removed ; otherwise with tho first high water his coal yard will bo flooded. On motion the sec retary was requested to notify the D. L. & W. Railroad authorities that their culvert in question needs clean ing and the street commssioner was requested to open the channel below whore the dirt has accumulated. John Patton reported that the new bridge has arrived and is on its site. Representatives of Nelson & Buchanan Company are expected here 011 Monday to put the bridge in position. 011 motion of George Sechler it was decided to purchase an additional search light for the use of the borough officers. A C. Atnesbury reported that the j bridge over the canal on Church street 1 is in an unsafe condition for heavy hauling, some of the bracing having fallen into tho canal. On motion the Secretary was instructed to notify j Division Superintendent Hugh Quick that the bridge is unsafe. The following members were pres ent: Vastine, Dougherty, Montgom ery,Patton, Swank, Kenimor, Sechler, Brandt and Lloyd.

TERRIBLE MCE George Saudol, Millwright at the Structural Tuhiug works, met with a terrible fall Tuesday, escaping death hy the narrowest possible margin. A now buffing machine is being in stalled in the brazing department of the works, which renders a counter shaft necessary. It was while work ing at tho now shaft, about 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, that the accident occurred. The use of a block and tackle was necessary and to fasten this over head Mr. Sandel climbed up under the roof and took his position in a kneeling posture 011 a beam about twenty-feet from the floor. In his hand ho held a pair of irons resembling a huge tongs to which the tackle was attach ed. As he was leaning outward to hook the irons ou to one of the rafters ho iopt his balance and those working be 1' 1 w were horrified to see him plunge dow award head first. As he left the beam, whether ill-ad vised o. not, he attempted to jump. This had no other effect than to throw him upon the now buffing apparatus, which ho struck with such force as to bend out ot shape one of the large iron shields, which is supported on iron arms five-eighths of an inch thick by over an inch wide. The large brass oil cup, which was struck by the in jured man's head,was broken squarely off. From the buffing machine Mr. San del rolled to the floor, where ho lay insensible with the blood streaming fiotn a gash above the left eye and one on the back of the head. Ho was picked up by his fellow workmen and carried to tho mill office. Dr. Curry was called up who instantly started for the works. Pending his arrival restoratives were applied, which brought tho injured man back to part ial consciousness. Dr. Curry found 110 hones broken, nor did tho man seem to be seriously injured. It was necessary to insert several stitches in each of the two gashes inflicted 011 his head. lit; was driven to his homo on Bloom street, just outside the borough, in 0110 of Liveryman Mover's carriagos. About 8 o'clock that evening ho was still in a somewhat dazed condition. His face was badly swollen aud ho complained of pains in his side, but there was nothing in his condition to create any alarm and it is believed that he will be about again in a few days. Improvements at Poor Farm. A new building has been erected at the alms house of Danville and Mahon ing Poor District which fills a long felt want. One portion of it is de signed as a hospital for the treatment of infectious diseases and the other as quarters in which to shelter wayfarers of tho hobo type who apply at the poor house for a night's lodging. During an interview yesterday Poor Overst er P. M. Kerns stated that the demands upon tho district at present are lighter than for many years past. There are twenty inmates at the alms house—fifteen males and five females, while the amount paid out for outside relief does not exceed ten or twelve dollars per week. In addition to this the crops at tho poor farm were nev er better, so that the showing this year will be gratifying to the officials and encouraging to the tax payers. First Game of Foot Ball. Tho first game of coot ball to be played by the newly organized Dan ville Defenders is scheduled for Sat urday afternoon at DeWitt's Park and the opposing eleven will be tho Suu bury Buffaloes.

KKTA IUJISIIKI) IX 1855. jit MSN 01- i WW ALIASES James Gibson, alias Thompson, alias Kimerer, alias Bare, etc., arriv ed in this city Tueday overling ami proceeded to "do" tic medical frat ernity ami any others who happened to fall his way. I'he liost laid -CIM mes, however, often fall through, and thus the man of many aliases yesterday fell into the toils of tin law and la.-t night slumbered in the lock-op. The fellow i ■ past middle life. He might have se 11 better days, Imt his ap pearance, which is soiled and ragged, indicat - that prosperity has not beam ed on him of late. He called at the oltico of Dr. S. Y. Thompson. He introduced himself a- Jann s Thompson and suggested the possibility of relationship. His home i in Elmira, he said, but ioi several years past lie has been in Denver.Col orado, whero he he had served a term of live years false imprisonment. Bv working over time while ;n the peni tentiary, h said, he managed to save forty-two dollars which he had spent for a ticket to come east. The money brought him no further than Harris buand he was now trying to com plete the journey to Elmira. Soon after leaving Harrishurg, his story ran, he tried to jump a freight bui fell, badly spraining his ankle, which i rendered it difficult for him to walk. To prove his story he exhibited his ] foot, which showed an enlarged ankle joint. The experienced eye of the physician at ouce sized up the defor mity as the result of an old time in jury and could not see that the fellow suffered in the least from It now. However, tl.o big-heart d doctor gave his would-be relative half a dollar j and he left. The man went direct to the office of i Dr. J. R. Kimerer. The doctor was out, but Mrs. Kimerer,met him in the ofliee. He hero introduced himself as James Kimeror again hinting at the possibility of relationship. Ho was very much in need of money, ho said, but intimated that ho would not re fuse a shirt, a pair of stockings, or in fact any article o. apparel. Mrs. Kimerer did not know what to think of the man, but got rid of him as best she could. The fellow seems to have pulled to gether a neat little sum during Tues day, for he had enough money to treat some new acquaintances during tho evening and pay for a night's lodging at Gillaspy's Hotel. Yesterday morning he started in early. He first visited the law ofliee of Harry Baro. Ilis own name,he ex plained, was Bare and he was very much surprised to find any one of that name in Danville. He had not the least doubt the> were related. • Wher ever you see a Bare," lie said, "you see a lighter; it is a family charact eristic. "Ho then proceeded to till of his hard luck,but it was Harry's busy day and he got rid of tho fellow with little delay. When J. E. Moore entered his office yesterday morning he found a strang er occupying his office chair. Tho man said his name was Moore and ho was very glad to moot tho Mooresof Dan ville. Mr. Moore had left a pair of good shoes in the ofliee and he noticed that the visitor had appropriated them and already had them on his feet. An explanation was demanded when the stranger said ho needed a pair of shoes badly and found tiiese to be just his fit. Ho then told a pathetic story of wrongs endured and of hard luck gen erally which had quite a softening effect upon our townsman so that he forgave the man for what he had done and presented him with the shoes.
