James Scarlet forCongresr.
Our distinguished townsman, James
Scarlet, Esq., is talked of as a Re
publican candidate for Congress in
this district. It is not known whether
Mr. Scarlet would consent to be a can
didate or not. The Shamokin "Daily
News" has this to say on the subject:
The political friends of James Scar
let, Esq., of Danville, are urging him
to become a candidate for the Republi
oan congressional nomination for this
district. If nominated Republicans
and Democrats alike predict the elec
tion of the able barrister.
His attitude in behalf of the work
iugmen of this region would gain for
him every vote among the miners ir
respective of their party affiliations.
Democratic oaudidate,Harry Davis, is
considered very weak and will lose a
large Democratic vote as he is in dis
favor.
Successful Showing.
The central examination of schools
in Main and Beaver townships, Colu

brought forth some results whioli are
very complimentary to Miss Olive

ASHMEN FACE
A QUESTION
This is the ashman's busy season and
he is working overtime. Contracts are
easy to obtain and if prices are not of
the best it is because of the sharp com
petition existing.
There is one drawback, however,
and that is the difficulty in finding a
place to dump the ashes. The trouble
is that conditions are extraordinary
this year and they effect the disposal
of the ash and garbage pile as well as
a great mauy other things.
The usual dumping place ou the riv
er bank is entirely cut off by the block
ed condition of the River road as well
as by the absence of the bridge at the
Creek's Mouth. It is even impossible
to reach the dumping ground by driv
iug down the other road from North
umberland street, as the big mound ot
ice at the Southern end ot the canal
j bridge at Lover's Leap effectually
' shuts out all travel at that point.
The ash and garbage meu complain
a groat deal. They say that they are
j expected to remove the ashes ; they are
forbidden to dump them inside the bor
ough limits and the one spot outside
the Borough ordinarily available is
now inaccessible. Under the circum
stances they hold that the Borough
ought to provide a place for dumping
ashes or the combination of ashes and
garbage that is usually found in the
hack yards.
One of the ash men. who does a big
busiuess, says that he fias been fortu
nate thus far in finding places about
town that needed filling up and where
the owners were willing that ashes
should be used. A large proportion of
the stuff, however, that accumulates
in the hack yards during winter, he
says, is unfit for this purpose and
should be carted as far as possible
from the residence portion of town if
not beyoud the Borough limits. He
expects to see considerable trouble as
the result of the present state of af
: tairs.

SWINDLER'S
BOLD GAME
Two expert swindlers appeared iu
this city ou Saturday morning with a
neat little trick, which although not
new,safF lCe d to net them a small day's
work,
lb e fellows laid their plans well.
The curb stone market was selected as
the field of operations and they did
Mot begin work until a few minutes
before the arrival of the 10:11) D. L.
& W. train, which shows that they
kept the possibility of detection in
view and had arranged for a speedy
exit from town.
They first appeared at the meat
stand of Levi Beyer, where their
scheme panned them out a five dollar
bill. The method employed was as
follows :
One of the men, whose appearauce
suggested a fakir, stepped up to Mrs.
Beyer, who was assisting her husband,
and bought a pork steak tendering her
a ten dollar bill in payment. Mrs.
Beyer very carefully handed over the
change, which the fellow had barely
pocketed, when another man, who
proved to be his pal, stepped up and
bought a pound of sausage present
ing iu payment a five dollar bill. Mrs.
Beyer "made the change" and was
about to wait upon another customer
when the first man affected to discover
a dollar bill in his vest pocket. He
was sorry, he said, to take so ruuoTi
change from the woman stuce it was
not necessary and asked her whether
she might not need it. He proposed
that Mrs. Beyer return the ten dollar
bill after which ho would hand over
the change he had received along with
the oue dollar bill out of which she
was to t;ike the price of the meat. The
transaction seemed perfectly plausi
ble. The fellow was a good actor and
Mrs. Beyrr, who really needed the
change, did not doubt his good inten
tions and proceeded to produce the
bill.
The whole scheme was calculated to
disarm the woman It was known that
she would lie to some extent abstract
ed in looking after her interest in the
complicated transaction and that is
why the second purchase involving
the five dollar hill was made, the aim
being to coufouud the two denomina
tions iu her mind.
The plan worked well. Pocketing
the ten dollars the fellow quickly pro
duced change for five dollars and dis
appeared in the crowd. As soou as Mrs.
Be\er had time to think over the mat
| ter'she realized that she was short
; five dollars and she saw through the
whole scheme.
Mrs. Beyer lost no time notifyiug
Chief Miucemoyer and in a short time
both officers were in pursuit of the
"short change" men. About this
time, however, the 10:1 iJ I). L. &W.
tram pulled through town. It was
learned later that just as the train
left the station the men materialized
from opposite directions and jumped
aboard, one taking the rear platform.
Chief Miucemoyer quickly called up
the police of Bloomsburg and Ber
wick. gave them a description of the
swindlers and asked them to search the
train ou its arrival and if the fellows
wanted were on board,to arrest them.
At last accounts, however, no arrests
had been made.
The swindlors also attempted to" work'
Jesse Shannon. In payment for a
small purchase one of the fellows ten
dered a ten dollar bill, received the
change ami then luckily discovered a
one dollar bill in his vest pocket,
which suggested to him that he was
imposing an unnecessary hardship up
on Jesse by taking his chauge. He
made the same suggestion as at Mrs.
Beyer's stand and Mr. Shannon re
turned the ten dollar bill. The fellow
counted the change for five dollars.
But Jesse saw through the scheme and
demanded "five dollars more." At
this juncture to complicate matters the
confederate came flustering into the
shop and wanted to buy some scrapple.
Jesse, however, stuck to the first man
and repeated his demand in a way
which showed that he meant business
and begot the "other five." It is
thought that some others about town
may have been victimized, who did
not discover or failed to report their
OSS.
One of ttie men was of medium
height and wore a light grey suit with
black derby hat. The other man was
larger; he wore light trousers and
dark coat and vest with black derby
hat. Both were smoothly shaven.

1 SOUVENIR OF
TIE GREAT FLOOD
Oue of the most valuable and highly
prized souvenirs of the great flood is
a magnificent collection of fifty-five
different views which today or Mon
day will find a place in the parlor of
the Y. M. G. A. The pictures repre
sent the work of WillJG. Brown and
are neatly mounted on an immense
card board thirty by forty inches.
The picture is being framed by How
ard Moore.
The view* are clear aud distinct and
reflect great credit ou amateur work.
They form seven rows of eight pictures
each aud are arranged in order from
left to right according to the relation
which oue bears to tho other, giving
each row a panoramic effect. This is
illustrated by a series of views arrang
ed side by side which show the ap
pearance of things below town when
the water was at its highest. First we
have the residence formerly occupied
by David Thomas, next in order the
submerged D. L. & W. tracks,the can
al and Keim's brick yard nearly oblit
erated, the lower end of West Market
street deep under water, the wide ice
jammed river with Riverside, also
flooded, in the background, the whole
presenting an extended view such as
the eye might have taken in from Bald
Top.
This effect is remarkably accentuat
ed in the row of views representing
the river bridge, which restores to the
eye the different phases as they ap
peared in quick succession on the day
the structure was carried oft. In one
continuous view as it were the bridge
is shown: intaot at the first movement
of ice. then as first break occurs,— sec
ond break—spam leaving piers— last
span leaving pier—three views show
ing different positions of the bridge
drifting down the river, &c.
The fifty-five views represent pic
tures taken during the two floods and
embrace subjects all the way from
Nescopeck to South Danville. There
are scenes about Berwick, Nesoopeck,
Catawissa and Roaring Creek, show
ing ice gorges, submerged farms and
railroad track, the ruins of bridges
and sites of bridges carried away.
Especially interesting are the views
on the Pennsylvania railroad, where
the railroad is nowhere in sight,being
deeply submerged and nothing but
water aud ice seems visible. These
pictures were taken from the tear
platform of tho first passenger train
that worked its way through.
Oue of the best pictures of the lot is
one showing Mill street flooded, and
yet this view was taken at f> :30 o'clock
when it was already twilight. There
is a picture of the sixty-foot ice gorge
at Lover's Leap and another of tho
320-ton ice boulder on the Kase's farm.
Among other views are those showing
things as they appeared during the
flood at the Silk Mill, at Mowry and
Oooper streets,at John Marshall's and
the several residences on Lower Mark
et street.
Instead of a picture on the lower
right hand space is the inscription :
"Flood Pictures Presented to the Y.
M C. A. by Will G. Brown."

People Oppose More Piers.
The reconstruction by the New York
Central Railroad company of the
bridge across the West Branch of the
Susquehanna, just west of Oak Grove,
near Jersey Shore, has been made the
object of a state investigation. Be
cause of the fact that the company's
increasing volume of business demands
additional traok facilities this bridge
is now being built for double track.
The company is building several ad
ditional heavy stone piers to support
the added weight aud enlarged struc
ture.
Farmers aud others residing west of
the bridge, whose properties would be
menaced by a river overflow have tak
en exceptions to the building of these
additional piers, contending that they
greatly inorease obstruction to free
flow of the river. Their principal ob
jection is that the closeness with
whioh the piers now stand—or that it
is proposed to have them stand—will
result in dangerous ice jams and con
sequent back water overflows. Fear
of this was engendered by the forma
tion of the famous ice gorge in the
North Branch of the Susquehanna, by
which the river was diverted from its
course in plaoes,flowed over fields and
did inestimable damage to farm land
and buildings.
It is contended by the objectors that
the location of the Central bridge in
question would be conducive to just
such menacing ice gorge conditions,
beoause of decided bends in the river
there. It is pointed out that a jam of
ice against this bridge would force the
water out over a wide territory. It is
hinted, too, that the Pennsylvania
Railroad company is a party to the
formal objection made for the reason
that its tracks would be menaced, and
probably completely covered, in case
an ice gorge formed againnt this bridge.
The matter has been formally
brought to the attention of Governor
Pennypacker, at whose request the
Central company has furnished the
state authorities with apian of the
proposed bridge. It is likely that a
public hearing will be had upon the
matter in the near future, at which
both sides will present arguments
The bridge in question is at the
junction point of the Hiver district of
the New York Central and the Penn
sylvania, and at its eastern end begin-)
the elaborate Oak Grove yard srs'em
of the Central. It is contended that
the Central company propose s to build
twice the amount of piers that are tin
der the old bridge

the shoe manufactory it was learned
that the deal has been closed and that
arrangements have benu perfected for
bringing the business to Dauville im
mediately. By May Ist it is believed
the factory will be in operation here.
A word as to the past success of the
business will prove interesting. The
plant removes here from Milford, N.
J , which is situated about sixteen
miles from Eastou. The business was
established twelve years ago and has J
been running successfully ever since
doing a business of 126,000 per year.
The plant as formerly operated had a
capacity of 125 pairs per day, embrac
ing nailed shoes of all varieties, from
lfl to 20 men being employed.
It is claimed for the new business
that there is no line of heavy goods
sold in the coal region that J9 better
known or more favorably regarded. A
spec ial stamp is used on all the best
goods turned out, which serves as a
guarantee for satisfaction to the
wearer.
The business up to the present has
been couduoted by D. and J. C. Stem,
of Milford, father and son. As estab
lished iu Danville the busiuess will be
in eutirely new hands all of whom are
local people. D. Stem, the father, is
advanced in years and iu poor health,
a reason he assigns for wishing to
withdraw from the company. J. O.
Stem, the son, is Vice President iu
The Cracker Creek Gold Mines Com
pany of Arizona. His connection with
this oompauy makes it necessary for
him to be absent in tho West duriug
the greater part of next summer. Un
der the circumstances there seemed to
be no other alternative than to get out
of tho business.
J. C. Stem virtually retains au in
terest iu the busiuess,to the extent, if
his gold enterprise does not turn out
as expected, he has the privilege of
re-entering the firm. He will accom
pany the business to Danville and re
main a month,or longer if need be,un
til the new management becomes
thoroughly familiar with every detail.
He will bring with him five experienc
ed workmen,who will remain perman
ently. Iu addition to these two other
experts lately iu busiuess iu Ashland,
will come to Dauville and take a hand
in the business.

Burns, Sores, Bruises, Cuts. Boils,
Ulcers, Skin Eruptious and Piles. It's

Moving Pictures a Hit.
Lyman Howe is always sure of a
large and appreciative audience iu
N'ewburgh. His moving pictures have
beeu seen here NO often aud the excel
lence of his f>ele< tious is so well known
that the announcement of his coming
is certain to attract much attention.
"Better and brighter than ever" was
the verdict ot those who went to the
Academy last evening, aud the new
pictures justified the criticism. A ser
ies from the unseen world proved In
teresting,the pictures showing a high
ly magnified drop of water, with its
extraordinary population being partic
ularly so. Other pictures worthy of
note were the scenes from the Chicago
fire, "The Busy Bee at Work," "The
Frog's Diuner," "Two Little Tots in
Trouble," "A Day with the North Sea
Fishing Fleet," "The Giant's Cause
way," and others. Nothing so good
pictures comes here. —New
burgh, N. Y., Daily Press.
Howe's Moving Pictures will soon
appear in Danville.
A Thoughtful Man.
M. M. Austin, of Winchester, lud.,
knew what to do in the hour of need.
His wife had such an unusual ease of
stomach and liver tioable, physicians
could not help her. He thought of and
tried Dr. King's New Life Pills aud
she got relief at ouoe and was finally
cured. Only 25c. at Paules & Oo'i
Drug Store.
Register is no More.
The old familiar hotel register may
speedily become a thing of the past.
A system has been devised to do away
with the cumbersome book devoted to
the signature* of guests. Mauypromi
uent hotels have already taken up the
system, aud if it proves successful it
will bo adopted by other hostelries.
Under the new arrangement arrivals
are handed a numbered card by the
hotel clerk, upon which they inscribe
their name and address. This card is
then placed iu a rack and the guest
thenceforward figures ou tho books as
a nomber ouly.
The cards are sufficiently large to
contain a reoord of the guest's stay at
the hotel, aud upon it are inscribed
all the charges he may incur, so that
at the time of his departure it is an
easy matter to prepare his bill.
Saving of time and trouble is the
chief object of the uew system, but
with its adoption will come the disap
pearance of the type of man who
spends an hour or two iu studylug the
contents oft tie register fot a year
past.
To Restock Fields With Quail.
The Kifle and Gun Club of this city
has practically abiudoued the idea of
stocking the gioves of Montour coun
ty witli quail.
The members of the club share in
the view'generally held by sportsmen
that the bitter cold of last winter kill
ed off the birds in large numbers. A
committee was appointed to investi
gate the feasibility of shipping quail
into the county for the purpose ot re
stockiug the fields.
Quail for this purpo<e are generally
shipped from Amityville, N. Y., or
trom Kansas The demand, however,
has been very great and the price
rapidly rose from six dollars per dozen
to twelve dollars per dozon. The lat
ter price is prohibitive iu its effect
aud the committee thus far has had t
nothing favorable to report. •'
DIVER NOT IET
RELEASED
NKW YORK, April 13.—The body
of Williatn Hoar, the diver, who was
caught and held fast at the bottom of
the reservoir at Boouton, N. J., ou
Monday while endeavoring to clone a
leak from an intake pipe, has not been
recovered today.
Although hope of bringing the man
to the surface alive was piactirally
abaudoned last evening the air pump
was kept gniug all night s 'tiding down
air to the imprisoned diver as there
was a bare possibility that there might
be some life left yet. The men at the
pump siy they will not stop work un
til he has been brought to the surface.
Another gang of men worked all
night trying to dam the conduit out
side the dam. The divers wiio had
been trying to rescue the unfortunate
man stopped work last night as they
found the suction was so great that
the huge ball of wood and lead which
had been lowered to close up the in
take pipe and between which and the
flange of the pipe Hoar was caught and
held fast,could not be moved until the
suction was lessened.
With the object of reducing the suc
tion bag-i of sand were introduced iu
to the tlume at various manholes and
it is expeotud that in this way the How
of water will be stopped and the suc
tion broken.
Robbed the Grave.
A startling incideut, is narrated by
John Oliver of Philadelphia, as fol
lows: "I was ia an awful condition.
My skin was almost yellow,eyes sunk
en, tongue coated, paiu continually iu
back and sides, no appetite, growing
weaker day by day. Three physicians
had given me up. Then I was advised
to use Electric Bitters: to my great
joy, the first bottle made a decided
impro.emtii r. I continued their use
for time wet Its, and am now a well
man.l know they robbed the grave
of aiiothi i victim." No one should

"The Moonshiner's Daughter."
"The Moonshiuer's Daughter" is the
title of the latest melodramatic pro
duction which will be seen at the
Opera House ou Saturday evening.
There is a pretty love story nicely
woven throughout this play and the
adventures of the Moonshiners are de
picted in a most thrilling mauuer.
There are four acts and each is en
vironed with a handsome scenic dress
ing, the play is staged in a decidedly
finished manner and the company is
made up of players who have won dis
tinction heretofore in prominent pro
ductions. Incidents from the famous
Hatfield—Taylor feud of Kentucky and
Tennessee are shown iu a realistic
manner. A raid on the Moonshiuer's
illicit still by the U. S. Government
men is another feature. Lots of speci
alties and the Great Moonshiner's
Quartette are promised.

What Will be the Result ?
The interpretation of the marriage
license law made by Judxe Hart of
Lycoming county to the effect that
both the prospective bride and groom
must appear in person at the office of
the register and recorder to obtain a
license to wed will not be popular
with the youug ladies who will be
compelled togo through the trying
ordeal. The legisalture passed the law
as a precautionary measure against
certain marriages aud the officials of
Lycoming countyfhave evidently been
lax In their enforcement of the statute
because of a desire to make matters lens
embarrassing to the parties concerned,
especially the brides to be. With an
inspiration derived.from a Pittsburg
jurist, Judge Hart now declares it
will be necessary in the future for the
girl to answer in person questions to
be propounded by the register and
recorder or his assistants. In the past
the prospective groom has been per
mitted to make answer for his wife
to-be. The courthouse officials are
now wondering what effect the new
order will have on the marriage crop.
It is freely prophesied that there will
be a decided increase iu the trips iuto
York state in quest of a minister, if
the interpretation made by Judge Hart
is not modified.
A newspaper mau has been appoint
ed to the vacant County Commission
ership in Dauphin county. His name
is John P. Dohoney.aud he gives prom
ise of proving a wise official, as news
paper men generally do when elected
to office.
