SISTERS OF
CLENDENNIN
It is a coincidence more than ordin
arily it mark able that two sisters of
William Clendenuin, the murdered
telegraph operator, happened to be in
waiting for the 4 o'clock P. & R.
train in this city on Saturday evening
when Edward Moyer, arrested for the
murder ot their brother, was hrc right
to the station.
The story was related by Officer
Voris yesterday. While waiting for
the train at the P. & R station Moy
er, who arrived early in charge
of special oflioer Lebo ami Flagman
Robinson, was of course the center of
attraction. Among other passengers
awaiting the train were two ladies,
who seemed especially interested. One
of these calling Officer Voris over to
the side of the room they occupied,
asked him who the prisoner was and
what he had done.
"That man", the officer explained,
"has been arrested on suspicion ot
having murdered William deaden
n in.''
At these words both the ladies wore
visibly affected. It was a moment be
fore they could speak when one of
t hcul remarked
"We are sisters of William Clenden
iiin.
It was later learned that the tvo
ladies—one a Mrs. Lewis and the oth
er a Mrs Snyder- are residents of Mil

Important Test Case Decided.
A test that will be of considerable
interest to all constables as well as
the Sheriff of this county was decided
by Judge Savidge of Northumberland
County some time ago and upheld by
the Supreme Court last week. The case
is one that involved the right as
to who should serve the subpoenas
for the District Attorney in the Com
monwealth's cases,
j The Sheriff contended by a recent
! law that it was his right to serve the
j subpoenas and accordingly notified the
] County Commissioners of that county
that they should not pay any monies
for this service until the courts had
decided a« to who had the right to the
service.
Constable O'Leary, of Shamokin,
was the first constable to have his
I money stopped and he brought suit to
j decide the matter Sheriff Dietrich
I brought counter suit and Judge Sav
idge decided that the constable had
the right to collect the fees and serve
the subpoenas. The case was appealed
to toe Supreme Court and that body

LOUR OUT FOR
; BOGUS MONEY
At this season of the year when all
is bustle and hustle in the stores and
on the lines of the railroad in their
efforts to offer the best service aud ae
commodations possible to the many
who throng the cars and stores, count
erfeiters have appeared on the scene
and added to the discomfiture of both
the employed and the employer by at
tempting to pass counterfeit or worth*
le-s coins on the unsuspecting, think
ing that probably in the hurry they
might pass woitbless stuff uudi&covei
ol
There is no other time in the year
when the stores are run to their ut
moat capacity as at present and evid
ently for that reason thequeei shovers
are trying to avail themselves of the
opportunity to ply their trade. Up
at Wilkesbarre Saturday, when the
conductors on the trolley cars made
their returns for the day it was found
that there had been passed in the rush
! a large number of half dollars that
were bogus and thus the conductors
were out that much money.
It is thought after reading of the de
predations in Wilkesbarre that there
iis an organized gang working l'tom
| town to town taking advantage of the
rush of Christmas trade to work the
merchants.
The money which had been received
;is made of a very light material and
lis much lighter than the ordinary
| coin. The ring of the bogus piece is
j flat aud dull and it takos but a slight
| examinat ion to tell the difference from
• the true and untrue coins.

" Y. M. 0. A. Notes.
This month the International Com
mittee of the Young Men's Christian
Associations established its County
I Work Department on the basis of a
special see retary devoting his entire
time to this work .1 U Hoard mail,
who tor several years has been the
County Work Department Secretary
for Massachusetts and Rhode Island,
is the new Field Secretary of the De
partment which is bastal upon ten
years of experimental work m Ne
braska, South Carolina, Kentucky, Il
linois, New Yoikand Massachusetts,
under the supervision ot Mr. Robert
Weidensaall, Senior Secretary of the
International Committee, who has
worked out tie* policy and method of
the County Work.
It is the province ot the new Depart
ment to adapt the Association spirit,
principles aud methods to the needs
of young men and boys in towns and
villages.
This action of tin International Com
rnittee in undertaking a new work
with the larger halt of the young men
comprising its constituency in North
America meets with wide-spread ap
proval, and it is thinly believed will
eventually work out a solution of the
problem of establishing effective, self
su.-taining Associations in the smaller
communities and rural districts. It
has been found impossible to maintain
Associations without such supervis
ion.
This International Department rep
resents S, 000,000 of the lo, ooo,oooyoung
men in the J5.000 counties in the United
States and Canada.
The County work was outlined by
Mr. Weideusall in 1 HS'.I and was in
augurated in the State of Nebraska in
IKSII. Since that time Kentucky has
organized eight counties. New York
three, Illinois two, and Massachns
setts, Michigan, lowa, North Caro
lina, Virginia, Minnesota and the
Maritime Provinces one each, the first
six of these State organizations pro
viding for the permanent development
of the work within the State by the
employment of a County Department
Secretary of the State Committee. Ver
mont and Ohio will organize County
work in January and February and
will be followed by County Depart
ment organization in other States

PRISONER IU
IDENTIFIED
Edward Mover, who v is an. -!• lon
Thursday under suspicion ot being im
plicated in the Cleiiilennin murder,
was removed to 1.0 k Haven Satui lay
evening.
S. J. Lebo, spi rial agent, N N . C
& il. R. R R , and W E. Robinson,
a flagman of tie- same railroad,arrived
in this city Saturda . fori noon. \c
companii d by Officer- Mincemnyei' and
Voris and a n pre-enrative of the
Morning New - they pro i idi d to the
County jai I.
Mover was taken into the lar;'- vi
cant cell in tie not th easti iii corner i 1
the prison proper, w here In wa- con
fronted with Messrs. I.i bo and Robin
son
Upon being asked whether lie knew
Rotiiuson ho replied mile iHirm.it i\",
admitting iurther that lie \\ i- in
Jersey Shore on Thursday, November
I'.lth, the day preceding the luuider of
William Cleiidenuiu at Brown's I'o'A
er. Mr. Robinson wa- one of the rail
roaders in whose hearing Mover, it is
alleged, made the boast that lie would
get a nice bunch ol money before he
left the place. In the jail Saturday lie
acknowledged making such a remark,
but explained that he had no thought
of obtaining the mom y by murder or
robbery. He protested that he had
never harmed a man, woman nor child,
and that when he spoke of getting
money his only id. a of obtaining it
| was by selling needles and pins.
I From the first he was very much ex
cited and call'd on God to witness his
innocence. On the night of the 'JOtli,
which seemed to b" t l ' nigh' he wis
associated with the murder, he d< hir
ed that he was in Montoursville. lie
had li ft Jersey Shore tin; day before
and in company with an "old fellow"
ihe slept in a mill. This tact lie
sure he could prove hv the watchman
and others. It was not until the next
morning that he learned that the op
| erator had been killed. He was iu
! formed by a boy th it murder had
J been done up the road."
He denied that he had "bummed" a
| pair of shoes in Jersey Shore, but ail
; mitred that the trousers he had on,
which were decidedly i>l fitting and
the worse for wear, had been given
him at a later date. He claimed to be
a peddler and produced his small
satchel, which contained a few pack
ages of needle-, knobs for coffee pots
j and a few other artich s. The olticer
! produced an envelope for needles such
,: as Mover had in hi- satchel hut beai -
1 ing a different print, which, it i- al
; leged, lie threw in the stove at Jersey
Shore. The prisoner's excitcm lit here
reached a high pitch and Ic vehemeiit-
I ly denied that he had evi r handled
| needles in those package.-. Both the
; ' pair of shoes and the t nvi lope play an
| important part in the ollicer's theory.
' Whether Mover committed the unr
i dor or not, the otlicer st ite- lie i- the
man who ha- been wanted ever since
the shooting. They have been on his
trail, but were unable to locate him
; ' until a few day- ago when hi- name
was learned from some tramps. Movi r

the chaiactcristie symptom- of th<

a passing notice At any other time ,
than imw when we have the epidemic
of Hutli r before us hut little thought

ati'l no apprehension would have been
aroused.
Hut lor, serves as a great ohjoct les
-Oli therefore to show imf ouly how
i n ily and with what little warning an
epidemie may overtake a town but al
io what precautious should be taken
to keep the water supply pure and the
town in a sanitary condition general
ly.
The first lesson that Danville should
learn is that danger lurks in the use
■if any hut filtered water and that the
practice of drawing upon the old wells
about town or a water supply should
stop instantly. It is strange that so
iiiuiiy people persist in using these
wells as tlier.j is not one of them in
the very nature of things that is above
suspicion of being contaminated in
some degre • As a pliysii iau remark
ed yesterday it is one source of danger
that faces Danville and it would be a
blessing to the town if the wells were
all abandoned and filled up.
