The case of Jonathan Sweisfort, ad ministrator of Augusta M. Johnston. Dec'd.vs. the Commercial Mutual Ac cident Company was settled,the plain tiff agreeing to accept the sum of four thousand dollars in settlement of the full claim of five thousand dollars. The first case placed on trial was that of Gilbert Feustermaeher vs. Abigail Feustermaeher, which occupi ed the remainder of the day This is an action in divorce, ( barging deser tion. The defendant, who is the daughter of David D Williams of this city, was married to the plaintiff in ISS'.I. The couple did not get along well together and some three years later they separated.the wife with her two small children going home to her parents. The husband finally wishing to he freed from the matrimonial yoke brought action in divorce, which is resisted by the defendant. Several witnesses were heard on each side. Ralph Kisner represented the plaintiff and Hon. H. M. Hinckley .appeared for the defendant. A petition was presented by R. .S. Ammerman for the appointment of a guardian for William Dyer. Robert C. Anton was appointed by tbe Court. The jury in the case of Gilbert Peustermaelier vs. Abigail Fenster macher. an action of divorce, could not agree upon a verdict. Judge Little delivered his charge tho first thing Tuesday morning, the jury retiring about 10 o'clock. They deliberated until about 5 o'clock in the evening when they returned to the court room and announced that they could not agree, whereupon they were discharg ed. Thr r-rtnt" of r 1' >»•>«»• Vr». il, W. Patterson went on trial Tuesday forenoon and occupied some three hours. In May, JS'.H'i (joiner Thomas sold G. W.

The case was given to the jury about the middle of the after noon. Only two cases were tried at the special session. Some miscellaneous business was finished Tuesday after noon, after which court adjourned. No Score in Foot Ball. The game of foot ball Saturday after noon, at DeWitt's Park, between the Danville Defenders and Snnbnry Buf faloes was interesting and honors were even as neither team scored. There was :i good crowd present and the lo cal foot ballists feel greatly encouraged by the showing o" flit Defenders. The team was only organized last week and this wa> the first game. The Sunburians are heavier and have been playing all season, but despite these points in their favor the Danville eleven kept the visitor- from making a touchdown. The playing was nearly all in Dan ville's territory and the Buffaloes put up a snappy, aggressive game. The Defenders were really on the defense till the time, yet they did their work well. Twice Sunbury expected to make a touchdown and twice did the plucky Defenders stem the rush and prevent the scoring. Sunhury tried hard to br< ale the o—o.failing in every attempt. There was no special indi vidual work, ma-- playing by both teams being the feature. The Defender- lined up in tlii- or der: Pegg, left end ;Gro»s. left tack le; McCormick, left guard; Fisher, center; Miller, right guard; Dougher ty, right tackle; Snyder right end; Rosenthal, quarter Iwk ; Lewis, left halfback; MeOlure (captain) right half back: Kdmondson, full back. The Wannest November. Not for vears has the month of Nov ember been as warm a- has the tirst fifteen days of this month. For tho first half of the month the tempeiature has been three degrees warmer than upou the warmest November in recent years, that of IHIKS w hen the average was 48 degrees. The average so far has been 51 degrees and the only cool weather experienced was during the early and late hours of the day. Overcoats have n<>t been jiecesasry during the month and an unusual thing in connection with this unp>ve edentecl weather is tho blooming of various flowers iu many of the gardens in the city. In 1894 the mercury in this city dropped to an average of 10 degrees during tho month and since then it has been much lower during some of the Nnv-luhers of tie- past few vears. A PLEASANT RECREATION The fact is not generally known that Danville has several pigeon fanciers, who have entered upon the work of breeding and training these intelli gent birds and that next season the fly ing of pigeons will be a new pastime added to the various sports in which our town is interested. The most enthusiastic pigeon fan cier in Danville is George Stickle, Center street,who has a loft of twenty pair, all pedigree birds. One pair has a record of 504 miles in one day. A. J. Leniger among others has become interested in the breeding and t raining of homing pigeons. He is almost daily receiving birds and bj- the end of the present week will have quite a lott. Pigeon culture has many attractions. The bird itself, with its intelligence, and its strange "homing" faculty, which distinguishes it from most oth ers of the feathered tribe, forms an interesting and fascinating study. What the strange power is that en ables pigeons released 500 miles from their loft to immediately discover the direction of their home remains an un solved phenomenon. The power is no longer attributed to instinct, alone, al though that may play an important part. The pigeon has a marvelous sight and a prodigious memory and it is held by some that it is by a com bination of sight, memory and intel ligence, aided by instinct that the pigeon regains its loft. Many of the records of homing pigeons are remarkable. A bird re leased five hundred miles from home at o'clock in the morning may ho found in its loft 13 hours later. The value of the homing pigeon, therefore a message-bearer is quite obvious. Trained pigeons with a pedigree rep resent considerable money, selling for prices that may range from s•"> to sls per pair. NiDety-eight Per Cent. There is a fascination about big profits to a business man. But the conserva tive and cautious trader perfers to have lesser per cent, of interest and the larger per cent, of safety in his investments. There is no business man who would not consider it a sound proposition to invest in an enterprise in which absolute 10-is was impossible and which offered ninety-eight chances in a hundred for a rich profit. The statistics of cures ef fected by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery show that ninety-eight per cent, of eases of "weak lungs",can be absolutely cured. Almost if not all forms of physical weakness may be traced to starvation. Starvation saps the strength. The body is just as much starved when the stomach cannot extract nutrition from the food it receives as when there is no food. "Weak lungs," bronchial affections, obstinate coughs, call for nourishment. "Golden Med ical Discovery" supplies that nourish ment in its most condensed and assimil able form. It makes "weak lungs" strong, by strengthingthe stomach and organs of digestion which digest and distribute the food, ami by increasing the supply of pure blood. Appointments Are Made. The majority County Commission ers-elect, of Northumberland county, Messrs. Beck and Raudenbush, met Tuesday at Sun bury and decided on these appointments, to take effect on the first Monday of January when they go into office: Solicitor, L. S. Wal ters, of Mt. Carmel; Chief Clerk, John B. Bucher, of Sunbury; Prison Warden, James Bramhall, of Shamok in Matron, Mrs. Bramhall; Foreman of Carpet Weaving, Adam Snyder, of Sunbury; Prison Physician, Dr. Will L. Shindel, of Sunbury. These are all new anointments as there is a change in the political complexion of the board from Democratic to Republican. Bramhall was defeated at the recent election for Assemblyman. Burglars Got in a Window. A visit by burglars that was exceed ingly bold was paid to the residence of Mrs. Henrietta Angle, Mill street, early Tuesday morning. The burg lars were very cool in their method and selected an hour when but few persons were likely to bo on the street. They entered by raising one of the front windows of the first floor. In getting in the lace curtains were stripped from the pole and torn to shreds at the top. A noise was heard about three o'clock and this is sup posed to be the time the entrance was made. The burglars went through the lower part of the house, but noth ing was disturbed or stolen. They went out the front doors, leaving thoso of the vestibule open and the front one unlocked. Get Ready for the Winter. With t!»«• advent of winter close at hand it shonlcl be the duty of every citizen to see that there is a general cleaning uji of streets, alleys and lots so ;i> to pet Danville in as good a san itary condition as possible. All refuse matter should be gathered up and the liberal use of lime i< recommended. These precautions will add to the health of the city and when spring conies the usual sicknesses arising from unsanitary conditions would be obviated. If this winter should prove warm it is highly important that there is no garbage and dirt about in which dis ease breeds so quickly. And it cold Weather comes ii should linil every thing cleaned up before winter sets its icy grip over the town. Contagious and infectious diseases are kept down only by the utmost vigilance and one of the best preventatives is a clean, healthy town. Asleep Amid Flames.

IRWIN GIVES A TALK A special meeting of the Woman's Homo and Foreign Missionary society of the Mahoning Presbyterian church Was hold at the home of Mrs. William lvaso West, Bloom street, Tuesday afternoon. The meeting was decided upon in honor of the presence in this city of Mrs. C. If. Irvin, who, with her husband, Dr. Irvin, is engaged in missionary work at Fusan, Corea. About fifty were present at the meet ing. Dr. Ida Ashenhurst presided. Mrs. Irvin gave a very instructive and entertaining talk. Missionary effort in Corea dates back to ISS2, pre vious to which no foreigners were ad mitted to the country. In the year mentioned Dr. Allen forced his way into the kingdom and gained the favor of the king through an accident. A royal feast was in progress when an accident occurred in which the crown prince sustained injuries which rendered the amputation of one of his limbs necessary. Among the physic ians who volunteered were Dr. Allen and thirteen native doctor*. Dr. Al len's skillful manipulation, which was thus brought into sharp contrast with the bungling work and primitive me thods of the natives so impressed the king that he gradually overcome his time-honored prejudices against fore igners. In 18H4 Dr. Uuderwood entered the country as medical missionary and in JBSC> the first mission was established. Mrs. Irvin spoke at length upon her night school for girls, the only insti tution of the kind in Corea, which proves a very effective agency for up lifting the young of the female sex. The girls are mostly kept busy looking after the younger members of the fam ily and all day are occupied, being rarely seen without a babe strapped upon their back. It is only at night that Mrs. Irvin is able to reach the girls and through them she reaches other members of the family, in many instances the mothers being convert ed. The speaker drew some very vivid pictures of life in the strange and far off laud of Corea. Leprosy is a great scourge and Mrs. Irvin dwelt with a great deal of pathos upon the sad lot of these afflicted people. They exist in thousands, many of them being lit tle children. Driven out from home, dreaded and shunned by their fellow creatures, they wonder around the streets in trronps soliciting food or money. The converted natives make devoted church members and it is very seldom that church service begins so long as there is oue member of the congrega tion absent. Should any one be un avoidably detained from church he i< sure to send his contribution. Congestion of Freight Traffic. Another evidence of the great traffic congestion on the Pennsylvania rail road between Philadelphia and Pitts burg is the refusal of the company to ship anthracite coal to Philadelphia for the piesent. The great hulk of the coal mined by the anthracite com panies controlled by the Pennsylvania and destined for that city, is shipped via Harrisburg, where it passes thr >ugh tilt) classification yard before being sent to its final destination. On account of the great congestion at this yard and at all similar yards ou the main lino, it was exceedingly difficult, once the cars got into the yard, to get them out again, and coal in transit to Philadelphia, which ord inarily takes but two days, has been a week or more in reaching its destina tion. Owing to the great scarcity of anthracite coal at all points supplied by the Pennsylvania, it was determin ed, in order to avoid the almost cer tain tie-up in the Harrisburg yards,to ship all anthracite intended for Phila delphia, for the present, to Baltimore and Washington. Coal for those points does not get into the Harrisburg class tication yards, but is sent across to Marysville to the Northern Central t racks. FREE INFORMATION.

The action of Council at its last meeting, which revealed its determ ination of enforcing the order of a previous session looking to the repair ing of pavements seems to have had a very salutary effect. Work on pave incuts has been pretty generally in progress during the past week, al though there are still several notor iously bad sidewalks which dare not be overlooked by their owners There are a good many property owners who would rather postpone sidewalk repairs until next Spring and who regard the present as altogether the wrong time of year to embark in the work. Many of these have employ ed makeshift methods, patching up their pavements with ashes or cinder where bricks are missing or holes oc cur in tar walks. Such repairs nec essarily give the sidcwalksa variegat eil apiiearanec, even if it does render them smooth and passable to the feet. Whether or not Council will approve of all the repairs as made remains to be seen. The brakemeu oil the Pennsylvania railroad now receive sf'J 4t< a day. PEPPERED WITH SHOT There is general complaint among farmers over tho depredations of a certain class of hunters who act as though property owners had no rights and who pay little or no hied to tho law. The latest complaint conies from Cooper township where on Monday Farmer Jacob Sliultz received a part of a load of shot in his body that was intended for a rabbit. It happened shortly after noon. Mr. Shult/.,who occupies i farm belonging to his father, James Shult/, of this city, was husking corn in his field, when three gunners went stalking over the farm. Mr. Sliultz, it appears, has not "posted" his lands,as he is one of those who has no wish to prohibit all hunting on his lands, provided gun ners keep within proper hounds. Hunt ers, however, have taken advantage of the absence of trespass notices and Mr Sliultz's farm is daily overrun. His fences are torn down, gate** are left open and many other annoyances are committed by the gunners. The three men on Monday were as objectionable as any and Mr. Sliultz took occasion to remonstrate with them. They became insolent and the farmer ordered tlieni olf the place. The men seemed hut little inclined to obey and while thev stood there parleying a rabbit spiang up near Mr. Sliultz's side. Regardless of the orders given them to leave one of the men deliber ately leveled his gun and blazed awav. The fate of the rabbit has not been learned but Mr. Sliultz received a portion of the discharge in his legs. None of the shot it seems became em bedded very deep in the flesh with the exception of a grain or so which penet rated his thigh. • By 110 one is such conduct more de precated than by the better class 1 112 sportsmen, themselves, of which there ate many in Danville, who in their pursuit of sport would disdai 11 to trample upon the rights of those who own the land they hunt upon. It is said that iti many localities even the posted notices have little ctTecf any longer. The farmers have shown themselves slow to prosecute and this fact is prosuui' d upon by many gunners Several farmers near Danville have reported the loss of tur keys, worried to death by the hunter's dogs, while others openly accuse the would-be sportsmen of shooting and nagging their poultry when found at a safe distance from the farm build ings.

Decision Affecting' Teamsters. \ Pennsylvania court holds that a driver of a wagon with all curtains down to keep out the rain was guilty of contributory negligence because lie only glanced out once in approaching a cross street to see whether a car was coming. The court declares it is a driver's duty to lie on the lookout for an approaching car, and, when on flic street, to continue to look until the track is reached. A Startling Surprise- Very few could believe in looking at A. T Hoadley, a healthy robust, black smith of Tihlen.
