lii Honor of Miss Lowe.
The Pine Street Lutheran church was
the >cr tie of a very plea-ant event last
night in the form of an entertainment
and informal reception given in honor
1 of Miss Mary E. Lowe of Hlooinsburg,
who has been called to the foreign
mission field hy the General Synod of
the Lutheran church in the United
States. The event was given hy the
Mary E. Lowe Mission Hand of Pine
Stieet Lutheran church. The audit
orium was very beautifully decorated
tor the occasion with palms and flow
ers.
The occasion was opened with pray
er hy W. I). Launiasfer, General Sec
retary of the V. M C. A. The address
of welcome was made by Miss Isabel
Schoch and was indeed a very fine
allair full of beautiful thought and
feeling very gracefully expressed.
Misses Hyerly and Kase rendered a
duet. Kecitations were given hy Misses
Mae Fox, Pauline Waite, Ku*h Heath
and Kutli Kase. There was also sing
ing hy Mildred Sidbr and Frank

Miss Lowe responded with a very
beautiful and appropriate address. In
October she will leave for India.
Odd Fellows Annual Picnic.
The Odd Fellows of Danville will
hold their annual basket picnic at De-
Witt's Paik oil Wednesday, the 12th
l list.
The Odd Fellows' picnic, which
took place at DeWitt's Park on July
80th, last year was one of the largest
and most successful events held at that
populat resort. All the arrangements
this year are made on a large scale
and there is little doubt but that the
picnic this season will duplicate that
of last, not only in point of numbers,
but in all its pleasant fraternal feat
ures As they did last year the merch
ants tins year will close their places
of business during the afternoon.
Refreshments will be served on the
grounds and baskets will be taken to
and from the park free. All Odd Fel
lows and their friends are cordially
invited to attend the picnic.
Work on Bridge Suspended.
A rise in Mahoning creek incidental
to the late tain has caused a suspen
sion of work at the D. L. W. bridge
near the Heading Iron Works.
Everything was ready for the erec
tion of a coffer dam to shut out the
water from the eastern abutment when
the lise occurred. The work can not
proceed until the creek falls, when the
coffer dam, the frame work of which
is now about completed, w ill be park -
ed with clay and the water pumped
out from inside the enclosure. As soon
as a dry bottom is secure I all the stone
work of the abutment will he removed
and the excavation be Mink to its full
depth,twentv odd feet below ti e track
to secure a solid foundation tor the
concietc abutment. One of the fore
men is autiio. i!\ fcrll.i statement that
it will require six weeks to complete
the work.

A trolley lino for our city is now as

will build the road from Danville to
South Danville and Riverside, expect
ing to extend the line to Shamokin in
I the very near future. This road with
1 the very probable extension of the Col
' umhia and Montour line from Blooms
, Inirg to Danville will make a eontinu-
I ous thread of street car lines from
Serantoti to Shamokin, a distance of
nearly one hundred miles and will he
an important link in the giidling of
the state by the street car.

lines and the lines of the Wyoming

a connection into New York State.
Starting at Berwick,where it is hop

of Berwickians, the line will pass j
through Beach Haven, Belhond.Shick- •

Nanticoke, extending to Plymouth,
where the tracks will c mnect with
those of the Wyoming Valley Tin tion
(Company.
The building of a trolley line in
Danville and vicinity is of the greatest
importance as a connecting link. And
as a factor in the transportation ser
vice in this section of the state it has
a prominence that cannot he overesti
mated. The work of building the road
will be commenced as soon as the
necessary right of way is obtained. It
is now almost a certainty that in a
very few months the road will be in
operation and the. people of this sec
tion will he enjoying the privileges

a distance of nearly one hundred miles )
Curbstone Market Begius Early.
Those who wish to have th*\piek of
produco brought into market must i
arise early. Farmers begin to drive j
into town shortly after 1 o'clock, he- j
fore it is yet wholly light. By live i
o'clock selling is in full blast and by j
seven o'clock here and there a wagon j
is sold out. By eight o'clock many !
farmers have already left the in irket
and there is no longer much let! that j
is desirable in any of the commodities
on sale.
There is some complaint among pat
rons of the market on the scorn of
early hours. It might he worth while
to inquire, however, whether the
townspeople arc not equally responsi
ble with the tanner tor the unseason
able hour at which selling begins. Ex
cept at the very busiest season it can
not be desirable for people living in
the conntiy to arise long before day
light and start on a tiresome drive to
market and they would likely not do
so if they did not find buyers waiting
tor them Their interest demands that
they place their products in competi
tion at an hour when buying is the
most brisk just as the patrons find it
to their inteiest to turn out early in
order to select the best.
It is hardly likely that any reform
will occur in this matter. The same
causos which operate here are at work
elsewhere and markets at an hour just
as unseasonable as here seem to be the
rule in all neighboring towns.
A Wheelman's Close Oall.
Thomas Hugholligaii while riding
his wheel on the cycle path Monday
afternoon took a header down over a
steep embankment and but foi the fact
thai lie was able to clutch some bushes
he would have taken a nearly per
pendicular drop of twenty-five feet.
He was riding along without any
thought of obstruction when ho was
suddenly confronted with the unusual
spectacle of a wagon on the path be
fore hi in. The meeting took place
nearly opposite the Fair Grounds
where the cycle path is flanked with
a steep embankment varying in height
from eighteen to twenty-five feet. The
path was narrow and the wheelman
was pushed to the very brink, having
a narrow strip not more, than eigh
teen inches wide on which to paNs.
When directly opposite the wagon lie,
undertook to dismount, but was un
able to keep his loot in the narrow
space and went down over the bank.
Five foot from the top he struck tome
hushes, seizing which he was able to
prevent himself from tailing any f'urth
or. Below him the steep embankment
extended some twenty feet further and
hut for the friendly bushes he would
no doubt have plunged to the bottom
sustaining very serious injury.

I<L THE IIKAII
A very pathetic chapter of past his
troy is recalled by the opening of two
very old graves in the cemetery on
Hlooui street yesterday for thn pur
pose of removing Hie remains. For a
number of years past while tlie* old
burial ground lias been drifting into
abandonment and decay the removal
of bodies bus boon slowly in progress.
Soveral years ago the remains of (ton
oral William Montgomery and others
ot bis kin were removed froiu the
cemetery to a place of rest amid more
sightly surroundings. It is perfectly
fitting therefore that among others re
moved should be Robert Carry, one ol'
the very earliest pioneers of this sec
tion, who was murdered by the Indians
in I7KO.
Tlio sad episode is a matter of his
tory with which any school boy may
become familiar. It occurred in the
Summer of 17H0. The Indians were
hostile and the whites were compelled
to Hen to the forts for safety. Among
the settlers of this section who bad
taken refuge at Sunbury were Robert
(' irry an 1 11 is wife. On the day of the
i t y on horseback the young couple j
we mil.in ; their way alone from the
fort to o.ie ot the settlements near the
Cinllt ><pri<iue. It was a hazardous I
j mrnoy but they escaped molestation
until they i. ached a point at present
rccogai/.ed as l ie site of the school
hoiiM' on the Northumberland road
this side of Cameron, where they were
attacked by Indians, who tomahawked
and scalped Robert Curry and took his
wife prisoner.
The story of Mrs. Curry's thrilling
escape Ins often been retold. The
night after the murder the savages en
camped in a ravine a mile or so north
west of Mooresburg. Binding the wo
man hand and foot with hickory bark
they lay down to sleep. Mrs. Carry
carried a small pair of scissors which
she managed to get hold of in such a
way that she was able to sever the
bands which bound her and thus she
made her escape.
Rejoining her people she apprised
them of what had taken place and led
them to the spot where the body of
her husband lay. The rem »ius were
interred in the old cemetery on Bloom
street and was one of the tir>t burials
made there. In 1 s->"» Mrs. Curry, who
lived to be an aged woman, was also
laid in the old c -metery be-ide her
husband.
The graves were opene 1 yesterday
tor the purpose ot removing the re
mains to the new Presbyterian or Fair
vit w cemetery. After the lapse of so
many years but very little was found
in the graves in the way of remains.
In Robert Curry's tomb nothing re
m lined but a few fragments ot wood,
belonging to the coffin,now in the last
stage ot decay.
Suffering Ftoui Peculiar Accident.
A peculiar ailment, which is puzzl
ing the attending physicians, lias at
tacked Jesse, the interesting seven
year-old son <>* William Reed,the well
known grain dealer ot Reed's Station.
About two weeks ago the youth,
while playing about the school house,
met bis father, and in the best of
spirits, jumped aboard the wagon and
was -driven home. When the hoy at
tempted t > alight he discovered that
his lower limbs were peculiarly affect
ed, l>" ing unable to alight from the
vehicle.
He was carried into the home, and
upon investigation, his legs were dis
covered badly swollen. After being
placed in bed a physician was sum
moned and he diagnosed the case as
blood poisoning of a peculiar nature.
Sometimes the swelling is in the low
er limbs, then it moves to the arms
and even tin* face.The swelling travels
over different sections of the body and
is trying tin; skill of the doctors.
The youth cannot remember having
come into contact with anything
poisonous. His condition is quite ser
ious. Dr. Renn, ot Sunbury, is at
present triating the strangely afflicted
boy.
New Work at Hospital.
It now begins to look as if summer
would be over before work will bo be
gun on any of the improvements at
the Hospital for the Insane for which
money was appropriated by tlio last
Legislature.
The plans are all perfected and ap
proved by the trustees of the Institu
tion, but until they are passed upon
by the State Board of Public Charities
proposals for the new work cannot he
invited. At the present season it is j
said to be difficult to get the Board of j
Charities together and no one seems to
have any idea when the necessary ac
tion may he taken.
The portion of the work which con
cerns our municipality the most is the '
disposal of the Hospital sewage, which !
still pollutes the river. That this pol
lution was considered <» gigantic evil
is obvious enough ; otherwise the Leg !
islatuie would not have appropriated !
money to remedy it. It is unfortunate, !
therefore, that such long delay should ,
occur before the nuisance is abated.

Tim standing committee appointen
in Jannaty for the promotion of the
now Odd Follows Orphanage on tin*
si to of the present lionir located near
Sunhury has decided upon plans of ut
most importance to that institution
and to tlio membership of the order.
If all goes well, if is expected that
early next Spring the scheme just
evolved will he put into practical op
eration,aud tlie Odd Fellows will own
one of the finest charitable and educa
tional institutions in Pennsylvania.
The committee has decided to is
sue a circular letter to all members of
the fraternity in the state setting
forth all that has heen contemplated.
It is desired that a fire proof building
shall be erected with accommodations
for no less than 150 orphans. The build
ing now used for this pnrpose shall In
converted into a comfortable home
foraged and infirm Odd Fellows and
their wives, when proper arrange
ments have been made for its main
tenance by the Grand Lodge. As soon
as practical an industrial school shall
be erected for the purpose of giving
all the children, including those from
the other homes in this state, a sound
knowledge of the various trades.
The committee in charge of the mat
ter is composed of W. H. J. Holman,
of Paterson; E. C. Wagner, ofGirard
ville;S. K. Milliard, of Watsontown;
Robert Davis, of Mount Garmel, and
L. P. Wally, of Mifflinburg. These
men have been advised by grand lodge
officers that the movement now con
templated will receive their hearty
support. A general subscription list
will be opened, and it is expected that
the members of the order will con
tribute liberally.
Pawnee Bill's Wild Weßt.
The famous scout and guide, Paw
nee Bill, is going to bring his great
Wild West Show Exhibition to our
city tomorrow. Many new and start
ling features are presented this season,
in fact, and it is a fact that the show
is twice its former size. Over a thous
and people and horses are employed.
The grand military review is par
ticularly praiseworthy. The Juvenile
Wild West Show for the children is a
decided novelty.
The entertainment gives one a
glimpse of the world which a year's
travel would not give. Mexican heroic
life is seen, South American scenes
are witnessed, the most strenuous
phases of Russian lite are observed,
and all their prominent features (ill
the mind with wonder,admiration aud
the fullest satisfaction The most at
tractive object of the entertainment is
the mysterious white buffalo which is
held in reverential awe by the super
stitious Red Man.
Ground Broken for Hall.
Washington Camp, No. sf>7, P. O. S.
of A., has broken ground for its new
hall in Riverside.
The building will be situated at the
corner of Avenue E and Fifth street
and will be fifty feet by thirty-two
feet and two and a half stories high.
The second story will be devoted ex
clusively to lodge purposes The first
story will be divided into two rooms,
one of which will be suitable for a
store. It is the intention ot the Camp
to proceed at once with the completion
of the hall.
To help the project along the mem
bers every evening assist at the ex
cavation and expect to do the bulk ot
the work themselves until the masons
begin.

The spacious grounds at Castle Grove
as well as those at the Hospital for the
Insane never presented a more beauti
ful aud luxuriant appearance than at
present due to the frequent rains of
the season. The best of care combin
ed with the efforts ot nature does the
work.
At either place everything is neat
ly trimmed and clean. The deep green
of the lawn and trees, the brilliancy
of the flowers, the bine sky and the
sparkling fountains all combine to pro
duce a remarkably beautiful effect and
looking up and down some of the lung
vistas Is indeed like u glimpse into
fairy land.
Fifty Men on the Pay Roll.
There are fifty men and several
horses on the Horough's pay roll at
the sewer. This is the largest num
ber which can be wotkedtoan advant
nge in the cut. The Horough's ex
pense account naturally toots up to
something considerable these times
Council is consoled, however, with
the reflection, that the maximum bat
men reached and that as soon the
loop cut is completed the work will
irogross uioro rapidly with fewer men

the right thing and was not respons

draw the charge of larceny, but was
not permitted to do so.
District Attorney Kisner urged that
the defendant be held for trial He
contended that there were 110 legal
grounds upon which a writ of habea
corpus could be granted and called

was not surrendered and that he had
voluntarily given himself up to tin
Sheriff. He declared that it was all a
subterfuge to get the defendant beyond

the lax state of morals in the commun

an excuse for crime. He urged that
the court make in order which would
seem to disprove that whether drunk
or sober a man is responsible fir his
overt acts.

brought out in the proceedings v. n
hardly of such a nature as to justify a
conviction if the case were tried be
fore a jury, lie ordered that Ickes he
discharged from the custody ot the
Sheriff and that tin county pav tin
