EXPENSIVE
PISTOL SHOT
It cost David Van Sickle, a resident
of tho second ward, Tuesday some
nine dollars in fine and costs for dis
charging a pistol in the borough limits.
Mr. Van Sickle, who resides on
Mowrey street, was arraigned i> -fore
Justice Oglesby. Ho explained tho
circumstances under which he dis
charged the pistol ami these he thought
justified the act.
He is living in a part of tho bor
ough infested with unruly boys, who
according to the evidence, have taken
a delight in calling the old man names
and in annoying him in every conceiv
able way. Tuesday morning, he
said, he brought the pistol downstairs
for tho purpose of showing his daught
er how to use it in case of necessity.
It was loaded with blank cartridges.
Tho boys as usual were on hand and
were trying to make it unpleasant for
Mr. Van Sickle, when the latter so -
ly for tho purpose of frightening the
boys disharged tho pistol. The shot it
appears had the desired effect and a
worse frightened lot than the boys it
would bo hard tr. find. The incident
caused a good deal of exciti uient
which resulted in Van Sickle's arrest.
The shooting was in violation of
section :i ot tho borough ordinance,
which makes it unlawful for any per
son to wantonly discharge firo arms
within the borough limits, the pen
alty being five dollars.
Chief Mincemoyer justified the ar
rest on tho grounds that if tho defen
dant was annoyed by the boys he had
his remo'ly in the process of law. The
Justice sustained this view. Mr. Van
Sickle paid the fine with some four
dollars costs.

Coal for School Buil Uaps.
The school board realizing the im
possibility of obtaining co »1 from local
dealers in quantities needed, a week
or so since opened communication
with a number of different coal opera
tors with a view of purchasing direct
from the mines.
Tho replies received showed that
very few operators, owing to the pres
sure of orders, were in a position to
furnish coal in sufficient quantities.
A contract was finally mad * with the
P. & R. Railway company by which
twelve cars or three hundred tons, have
been secured to be shipped in diffi rent

THE VIEWS OF
UN EXPERT
"Lying at its very doors Danville
has all the material that is required
for the building up of a great and pro
fitable industry that would enrich its
citizens an give the town a prominence
that would extend far and wide. All
that is needed is for the local capital
ists to awake to a full realization of
their opportunity and to proceed at
once to the development of the enter
prise.*'
Sue 11 in effect were the words of
George Francis, an expert in the man
ufacture of vitrified brick who is at
present in Danville.
Mr. Francis,who is foreman of Man
ufacturing under the Vitrified Brick
and Tile Company of Coffeyville,
Kansas, conducted the experiments
last winter with the shale sent out
from this city, which resulted in the
discovery that the deposit here in
■ quality is simply unsurpassed for the
! manufacture of vitrified brick. He was
I born in Danville and spent manyyeats
!of tiis life here. Ho sees a great op
: portuuity for his native town and the
| object of his present visit is to assist
in the organization of a company to
manufacture vitrified brick.
The gentleman was interviewed
Monday afternoon by a representative
of the Morning News. Mr. Francis left
Danville sixteen years ago. When he
became identified with the manufac
ture oc vitrified brick at Coffeyville the
business was in its infancy. He has
t seen tho industry grow from a hum
ble beginning, when some forty men
were employed, until it reached its
j present dimensions embracing four
j large plants and employing many
hundred men. He is a good authority,
therefore, on the methods of manu
facture and the relative value of the
shale used as well as the demand for
and supply of vitrified bricks and the
profit that lies in Hie business.
As to the quality of the Danville
, shale which as is generally known,
lies along the P. &. R. railway just
north of the borough, Mr. Francis
states,it is far more valuable than the
big deposits near Coffeyville, which up
to last winter had always benn con
sidered the best in the United States.
The superiority of the Danville
shale lies in tho larger percentage of
iron, which in the process of burning,
I melts and gives the finishc I brick the
l hardness and durability of grauite
itself. Mr. Francis showed the News
man a Danville brick manufactured at
the Coffeyville plant,which is twice as
heavy as an ordinary brick. Accord
| ing to the expert it surpasses in value
| anything manufactured in the United
■ States.
In regard to the demand for vitrifi
ed brick Mr. Francis is of the opin
ion that that may bo reli d upon to
I take care of itself. In many localities
of the west shale brick have crowded
the ordinary mud brick nearly out of
the market and are used inst. ad of the
i latter for sidewalks and in building,
! even for foundation purposes. The
{ general demand is always greater than
i the supply.
Mr. Francis thinks that a plant
could bo operated here with :i maxim
um of profit. The ground he been se
deposit, which seems unlimited in ex
tent, is remarkably easy ot access.
While at Coffeyville the shale has to
bo olastcd loose and at places raised
from a considerable douth all that
would be required here would lie to
shovel it down from the mountain
side where in the form of gravel it
lies in a loose deposit.
It is very much to be hoped that
Mr. Francis may be able to interest
some of our practical business men, as
according to the facts set forth there
would seem to be a rare opportunity
to build up a new and flourishing in
dustry iu Danville.

SCHOOLS FOR
TEACHERS
Dr. Nathan O. Schaeffer lias given
out advance sheets of his annual re
poit as Superintendent of Public in
struction. Ho shows that the numlior
of pupils enrolled during the year end
ing last .Tnue was 1,1(5:5,501), and the
mini her of teachers was 30,(540. There
was an expenditure for text books and
supplies Of S(5. The cost of
maintenance, including text hooks and
supplies, was $lB, (5.15,117.7:5. Dr.
SehaefTcr says it is a matter for con
gratulations that the favorable finan
cial condition of the State enabled
State Treasurer Harris to break all
previous records for early payment
of the school appropriations.
Owing to the frequent deadlocks in
the election of teachers and the selec
tion of textbooks the question is raised
whether it w mid not be wise to re
duce the number of directors in town
ships from six to five. He says the
tendency of the age is to concentrate
power and responsibility, li the. num
ber of directors was reduced from six
to tivo ho suggests that teachers could
be selected promptly and fewer fact
ional contests would arise. In his
opinion some legislation ought to be
enacted to prevent deadlock in the
election of teachers and the selection
of text books.
Dr. Schaeffer says the act of 1901,
making attendance at school compul
sorv, is more eflicient than many for
mer compulsory laws,yet it fails when
ever the parents neglects or refuse to
have their children vaccinated. He
thinks there should li t some legisla
tion to relieve the clash between the
! compulsory education and vaccina
tion laws.
The report, suggests that one enum
eration instead of two during the odd
years of all children between (5 and 1(5
years for school assessment purposes
would be a saving of money in every
county.
On the question of reciprocity in
teachers' licenses Dr. Schaeffer says it
does not seem wise to change the meth
od of granting permanent certificates.
No change in policy is recommended,
I even though full reciprocity in teach
; ors' licenses be far distant.
In this age, Dr. Schaeffer says, the
| school master should know more than
he is required to teach. Instruction
I acquires its best flavor when given by
a teacher of culture and scholarship.
The new course in tii State Normal
Schools now covers Him years. Dr.
Schaeffer says the best is not too good
! for the pupils of our public schools.
The new course will diminish the
I number of graduates for several years,
J but in the end it will increase the at
tendance at our Normal Schools and
give the public school- ;v generation
of teachers with better training and
broader scholarship.
Dr. Schaelfer highly recommends
the teachers who spend much of their
time at summer schools. In this con
nection he recommends some provis
ion for summer training for those
teachei s who cannot afford to attend
summer schools at a great distance
from their homes. He says a modest
appropriation for the maintenance of
one c>r more summer schools where
and recreation would be wisely ap
plied. He says the school department
j should be allowed to select for the
purpose one or two mountain resorts
where the temperature will be favor
able for intellectual effort during the
summer months.
The small appropriation of $50,000
has stimulated the establishment of
high schools in a number of town
| ships.Sixty-six township high schools
j came up to the legal standard and re
| ceived their share of aid. He earnest-
ly recommends that this appropria
tion bo doubled at the next session of
tli • Legislature. Dr. Schaeffer says
something should ho done to raise the
minimum salary of teachers. Good
work cannot be expected from teach
ers who get less than S3O u month. In
crease of the appropriation has not in
creased the salaries of the teachers
Ho says it is the duty of every citi
zen to seek to hotter the condition of
the women who teach. They do not
organize strikes and have 110 opportu
nity at the ballet box to insist upon
their rights. It they had tin; suffrage
their votes would in 110 long time pro
cure more adequate eompensat ion for
their services and sacrifices.
In conclusion, Dr. Schaeffer recom
mends that more attention should be
given to the making of a satisfactory
school curriculum. He savs the work
must begin in the Normal schools.
Systematic study in the field and the
laboratory is needed to put content
into the most carefully prepared out
lines.
His Heart 011 Right Side.
A dispatch from Beech Creek says
that while examining Ernest Rupert,
of that place, for an insurance policy,
Dr. Savior .T. McGheo made the startl
ing discovery that the boy's heart is
on liis right side, in a position cor
responding to the normal location on
the left side.
Dr. McGheo had the young man be
fore the Clinton County Medical
Society, in Lock Haven, Friday, when
he was carefully examined by the had
ing physicians of Clinton county,none
of whom h id ever se.-n a similar case.
Statistics show that tho 11 amber of
such c ises reported throughout t lie
world is remarkably small. The ex
amination revealed the fact that the
heart, lungs and liver are very close
together and the latter organ is believ
ed to hi 1 Oil tho left side. The physi
cians pronounced the case most re
markable and unusually interesting.
Although the young mm has had
medical attention lief ere, this peculiar
condition was not noticed.
The boy is 1(5 years old and the son
ot Barney Rupert, of Beech Creek, a
strong healthy man. Ernest works
every day at the Pennsylvania lire
brick works and has always been re
garded as a healthy lad, being of good
size for his age. Tho opinion of Dr.
MeGhee and the other physicians who
examined him is that the abnormal
position of his internal organs will
never affect his health or his term of

THE OPERATORS
"WASHINGTON, Nov. 2K.— Presid
ent Mitchell and his party left here
last night, sadly disappointed and
chagrined. Alter they had reached an
agreement with Mr. MacVeagh, repre
senting the operators, as to all the
main points at issue, and there re
mained only a few minor details to be
arranged.a telgram came from Presid
ent P.rter, calling all negotiations ofl
and ordering that the matter of a set
tlement be reverted to the strike com
mission.
Mr. MacVeagh was under the im
pression that he was fully empowered
to act for the operators in drawing up
a form of agreement and had proceed
ed upon that assumption. All the
statements made during the day by
members of tin* conference were of the
most hopeful charaeter.and had it not
been fo.' i'.i id, in La i ,s telegram, it
is believed that definite terms of set
! tlenient would have been prepared for
! the signatures of both parties within
j the next day or two.
Mr. Mitchell's disappointment over
! the outcome is the more intense be
' cause the conference w as not called at
j hi- solicitation but at that of Mr. Mae
| Veagh.
inference yesterday afternoon
' after Mr. Harrow's announ ement that
' terms had been agreed upon came to a
' sudden termination through there
. i-eipt of a despatch to Mr. Wayne Mac-
Veagh, reptesi nting the Pennsylvania
! Coal Company and the Hillside Coal
and Iron Company,notifying him that
■at a meeting of the anthracite coal
j road men in New York today it had
li-en decided not to grant an inter
view to Mr. Mitchell and his associa
tes, whi h had been suggested for Fri
day next.
The text of the message was as fol
, lows:
"The conditions are such that no
substantial progress toward an adjust
ment can be m ulc by the suggested
meeting. The general judgment of
the operators is that if will be best for
the present togo on with the hearing."
The announcement, coming as it did
after an all day's conference in this
! city between Mr. MacVeagh and Mr.
Mitchell and his associates, attended
part of the time by Carroll I). Wright,
i in an elide ivor to adjust some details
of tie- proposed agreement between the
( operators aud the miners completely
surprised everyone here.
From a reliable source it is learned
that the proposition that the operators
mi 11 Mi. Mitchell on Friday next was
made at the instance of Mr. MacVeagh
who was no 1> ss mi prised than Mr.
Mitchell himself at the turn affairs
, took yesterday.
■ Mr. Mitchell when shown the des
patch from New York telling of the
' action of the operators simply smiled
j and said that he had not asked for the
I conference but that when it was sug
gested to him if it would be agreeable
to meet the operators he said it would.
Mr. Harrow and Mr. Lloyd,however,
were outspoken regarding the action
of the operators. Mr. Harrow said
; that it was now "up to the operators"
] and that he would return at once to
Scrantou and on Tuesday next would
■ ' * - . 'l'" en»nmis<ion trj
! goon with the hearing.
Mr. Lloyd referred to the fact that
'• a conference Friday had been suggest
ed in order to adjust some matters on
j which there was still some disagree
j ment.
I "Yet" said Mr. Lloyd "these same
! men who only last week wired the
I commission their assent to the general
provisions of the tentative agreement
j and upon the strength of which the
commission adjourned for a week in
j order to give the parties time to get
together now go completely hack on
their former action and call it off. We
| are satisfied togo before the commis
j sion and continue the hearing."
The hope indulged in tor the past
! few days that the terms of settlement
between the coal operators and the
mine workers might he formally an
nounced before Thanksgiving has been
disappointed.
This hitch in tin* very promising
deal lor amicable settlement was
brought about by the protest of the
individual operators to the coal presi
dents from whom the suggestion of
amicable settlement came.
It was only a few hours previously
too that an arrangement had been
made for a conference between Presi
dent Mitchell and the coal presidents
on Friday. The sudden change in
dicates a vacillating policy on the
part of the men to whom vast inter
ests are committed that will be view
ed with small favor by the general
public or by the stockholders of the
coal carrying companies.
The consoling thought in the face of
this disappointment, is that the min
ers are at work and that they have the
pledge of the commission that any ad
vance in wages granted by it will
take effect on November Ist, l'.K)2.

THE SITUATION
IS TO GOAL
r
.j} ■ y.X-? i£& jif/:
The local coal dealers, who have not
as yet been able to fill all the domestic
orders that accumulated: during the
miners' strike, art? but little inclined
at present to bid tor orders from either
the school hoard or the water commis
sioners. Hence both the school build
ings and the water works will have to
lie supplied with coal from other
sources until the movement of freight
becomes normal and the local dealers
catch up with their trade.
The school hoiitd has been buying
wood during the fall, and bus still
some coal on hand at the different
buildings. It will probably be able to
get coal in limited quantities direct
from the mines, should a shortage oc
cur, so that it is not at all likely that
any difficulty will bo experienced in
keeping the school buildings warm.
The water commissioners, who have
been relying upon river coal, can not
afford to take any risks and are very
auxious to get a good supply of coal
on hand at the water works this fall,
so as to obviate anything like a short
age after freezing weather sets in.
Unless conditions improve very much
it would he unwise to rely upon get
ring coal from the mines as needed
and the water commissioners will con
tinue the use ot river coal. According
ly the water works are being stocked
up to their fullest capacity,the present
shipment—aggregating some eight cars
—comprising coal from Shamokin
Creek and different points on the riv
er.
The coal from Shamokin Creek is
much the largest in size, but being
soft in its nature burns freely and in
the end contributes no more to the
making of steam than coal from the
river. On the whole the river and
creek coal is found to answer the pur
pose very well. Besides, it is slight
ly cheaper than the coal ordinarily
used. Under the circumstances, there
fore, it would not be surprising if its
use should be continued indefinitely.
It requires about two tons of coal
per day at the water works and the
quantity on band will carry the plant
until some time after the holidays.

For Rural Protection.
It is expected that the next legisla
ture will be asked to pass a law pro
viding for the appointment of a salari
ed constabulary which shall, either
by appointment by the governor or
election by the people act in the cap
acity of peace officers in the rural dis
tricts where petty crimes are commit
ted many of the perpetrators of which
now escape punishment because of the
inefficiency of the constables ot the
several townships. Under the present,
system the work of the local const
ables has for the most part proven
most trying. This is mainly due to
the fact that constables are not salari
ed officers and are forced to depend in
many cases upon some other occupa
tion for a livehood. This fact frequ
ently has a tendency to impair their
usefulness and to prevent them from
keeping that careful watch over trans
gressors so necessary to the preservation
of the peace and upholding of the dig
nity of the commonwealth.
The objections that may be raised to
the passage of such a law are num
erous. In the first place it would re
quire a large number of these state
peace officers to patrol the counties
anil tin" aggregate amount of their sal
aries would bo enormous. If these
constables wore to bo appointed the
probabilities are that polities would
enter into the selection, and every
body knows what that, would mean.
If they were to be elected by the re
spective counties a heavy burden
would be thrown upon the counties.
That better protection for rural com
manities is needed 110 one disputes,
but it is doubtful if tl.o state con
stabulary plan of mooting the emerg
ency, will be approved by the tax
payers.
A BRIGHT
LIFE CLOSED
Thomas Arthur, son of Mr. and
Mrs. John L. Evans, whose serious
illness of appendicitis, was noted in
our last issue,died at the G"rman Hos
pital, Philadelphia, Monday morn
ing. The dreaded disease laid a
heavy hold upon Arthur and he passed
through a terrible siege of suffering.
Ho was first taken sick last spring.
Ho grow better, but suffered a re
lapse. His condition again improved
but with the approach of autumn he
was again taken very seriously ill, when
the attending physician recommended
an operation.
He was taken to the German Hos
pital and about two weeks ago was
operated upon. The case was pro
nounced serious, but the operation
seemed successful and hope was hold
out to the parents. Last week friends
of the family in this city were de
lighted to learn that the young patient
was considered out of danger. This
good news, on Saturday,was followed
by information of the gravest import,
in response to which Mr. Evans, the
father, hastened to Philadelphia to
join his wife, who had accompanied
Arthur to the hospital and had re
mained in the city within easy reach.
On Sunday a second operation was
i performed, which revealed an exceed
ingly critical state of affairs. A tele
| gram received in this city from Mr.
! Evans Monday morning stated that
j there was practically no hope, the
chances being ten to one against the
! child's recovery. A second telegram
received just after noon stated that
| Arthur had passed away.
The deceased child was 1-i years of
ago. He was a manly and affectionate
little fellow full of kindness aud a
' general favorite. His long illness was
characterized by a degree of thought
fulness and fortitude that would have
done credit to an older person. The
bereaved parents have the heartfelt
sympathy of the whole community.
All that was mortal of Thomas Ar
thur Evans was laid to rest in the
family plot, Odd Fellows cemetery,
yesterday afternoon. The funeral was
held from the family residence, Ferry
' and East Mahoning streets,at 2 o'clock
! and was attended by a large number of
sympathizing relatives aud friends.
The services, which wero conduct e
ed by Rev. Harry Curtiu Harm in,
jtastor of St. Paul's M. E. churcli,
wero very impressive. The pastor's
talk was jno.-t beautiful iu its tender
allusions to the life and the passing
away of youug Atthur aud full of con
solation to the parents and relatives
who with others had gathered around
his bier. A quartette of young ladies
rendered "Some Sweet Day"' with
most impressive effect.
The southwest corner of the room at
the rear of the casket was banked
with a rich profusion of flowers, the
gifts of loving friends. Conspicuous
among the blooms was a bouquet
of white carnations from the senior
secondary school of the First Ward,
attended by the deceased. There was
a large bouquet of chrysanthemums
from the uncles and aunts; A large
bouquet of white chrysanthemums
from the Misses Evans; a bouquet of
carnations I'rom the carnation
club; a crescent from the lodge of
Elks; a large bouquet from David
Thomas; a bouquet of piuk carnations
from Mis. Will J. Rogers; a bouquet
of pink chrysanthemums from Mrs. S.
V. Border of Williamsport and a bou
quet of pink chrysuutheinums from
Robert Ooxe of Sunbury.
The pall bearers,chosen from among
the boyhood companions of the deceas
ed, were as follows: Willie Prit
chard, Jay Sechler, Edward Price,
Charles Wetzel, David Thomas and
Jacob Meyer. The interment was pri
vate.
"I feel as if 1 should fly to pieces."
How often those words are on a wo
man's lip. They express to the utter
most the nerve racked condition of the
body, which makes life a daily martyr
dom.
If this condition had come suddenly
it would have been unbearable. But
the transition was gradual. A little
more each day on the nerves.. A little
more drain each day on the vitality.
Any woman would be glad to be rid of
such a condition. Every woman tries
to be rid of it. Thousauds of such wo
men have been cured by Dr. Pierce's
treatment with his "Favorite Prescrip
tion" when local doctors had entirely
failed to cure.
"Favorite Prescription" contains no
opium, cocaine or other narcotic.
Church Bell With a History.
The church bell purchased by E. 1?.
Stnrges when in Japan recently has
arrived and has been placed in tin
tower of the Presbyterian church at
Green Ridge, near Scran ton The bell
weighs 700 pounds and is made of
solid brass. Until secured by Mr.
Sturges it had hung in a Buddhist
temple at Kioto for 200 years and
more, and was purchased only with
great difficulty. The Buddhist priest*
were at tirst extremely loathe to part
with the bell, fearing that it might be
an offense in the eyes of Buddha t• >
have it used for any other purpose
than that of calling w>> shippers of
tha* god to a temple erected in bis
honor.
When it was explained to them that
with the purchase price they could
buy a larger and better bell their
scruples vanished and Mr St urges <e
cured possession.

defeat at tin- hands of the .strong Cat
awissa foot ball eleven at LUiVVitl-V

ot 11 to 5. Owing to the murky,cloudy
weather the attendance was small,but

that <1 id attend, Were alnjJly i**phM
for their time, a> the game wiu luut
fiercely fought and the Catawissa elc
veu came off victorious hyj tht
most strenuous effort). ! ■ !?i .«
The opening of the game found both
teaius pretty evenly matched and be
fore the half was over Catawissa bad
scored two touch downs and one goal
was kicked. Portner for Catawissa
made a beautiful fifty yard run for a
toueh down, whilst the ground gained
by Miller and McGlure •" their clever
work at line plunging was a feat ure of
the Defenders playing. In the second
half Catawissa did not prove so suc
cessful. New life seemed to have
been infused into the Defenders and
they played with an agrgessi vene-s
and precision that was remarkable.
Hy dint of hard work, in which ex
cellent foot ball was played, Miller
was sent over the lin« for a touch
down. After this neither side seemed
to have the advantage and although
the Defenders played a hard game they
failed to score another touch down but
sncceedi d in preventing any further
scoring on the part < 112 Catawis-a.
