Voris, whose death as the result of piieamouia occurred in New York Wednesday, was laid to rest in Fairview cemetery oil Saturday after noon. The funeral was a very largely attend ed and impressive one. The deceased was a member of the Order of Elks and among the sorrowing friends who gathered around his bier in addition to a large circle of relatives were a representation from the lodge ot the order to which he belonged in Perth Amboy, and a still larger delegation from Lodge No. 754, B. P. O E., of this city. The services were conducted by Rev. J. E. Hutchison. There is much about the untimely taking oft of James that is inexpressibly sad. Not only did his death occur away from home after a long absence rendered unavoidable by business pressure, but he was the youngest of the family, and the third sou to die in the brief period ot a lit tle over three years. Charles E., the eldest son,is the only child surviving. William died ou March the 20th, 1901, and Frank followed in August of the same year. The clergyman iu address ing the bereaved parents and surviving brother dwelt very tenderly upon the sad circumstances and advanced many beautiful thoughts which carried with them real comfort and consolation.

Btate Banks Show Kemarkable Growth. From the recently published annual report of the Penna. State Banking? Commissioner tlie following interest ing facts are adduced : There are in Fd'insylvauia 41? banks and trust com panies,under supervision of the Bunk ing Department of state. The deposits amount to $522,624,514.41, with the average number of depositors 1, 1.">4,717, or an average amount of $452.60. The capital stock paid is |103,518,317.84; surplus. 195,754,403.12; undivided profits, $28,456,322.36; which with de posits, amounts to $750,062,568.73 in these 417 institutions.

Planting of crops in the South aud West has been great y retarded, and business in general has felt the effects of the backward Spring After a Winter which steadiness aud abundance of freezing weather aud snow was unprecedented the hope of comjiensation by an early Spring has faded away. For real re sults the late Spring which seems to be in store for us is better than the unduly early oue which gets fruit aud tender growths started, to be nipped by late frost. Last year we had warm weather in February and March, aud late frosts which destroyed nearly all the local cherry and peach crops, with a late cold, wet season greatly delay ing planting of garden and fields. Ac cording to the old saws wo shall not have warm and settled weather for a couple of weeks, but the probabilities are that when the change does come vegetation will jump forward and make up for lost time. A warm rain is badly needed to start the grass to growing. We will have to take our weather as it comes, and so far, while disagreeable, it is not yet of the kind that is a sevire infliction. Howe's Moving Pictures. The entertainments given at the Grand Ope ra House yesterday by the Lyman H. Howe Moving Picture Com pany were great treats and deserved the large aud appreciative audiences which turned out both at the afternoon and evening performancees. The pict ures thrown on the canvas were some of the finest that have been exhibited, in this city, their clearness excelling anything previously shown here. The most prominent pictures were "The Celebrated London Kickabouts," "The Czar of Russia, His Cossacks and the Imperial Palace," "The Be witched Trunk," aud scenes of the Baltimore fire One new feature that was introduc ed into the pictures was the magnify ing of water,cheese and small animals so that one could easily see the mi crobes in the former and the various organs of the animal* The entertain ment lasted fully two hours and there was not a dull period during that time. —Harrisburg Independent.

What better proof ot merit can be had j than such endorsement? Jos. Hooker ot 102 North Spruce St., says: "l was for a long time afflict ed with lameness in my back, and i pain over my kidneys. I had a great | deal of nervousness, restlessness; did not sleep well, had bad dreams, and was continually tossing troui side to side striving to get a comfortable pos- i sitiou. The kidney mcretions were, not normal, was tired all the time, ! and often had a dull aching in the ' back of my neck. I read accounts of Doan's Kiduey Pills curing people.

The reception of the Methodist church to their new pastor, last even ing, was a splendid success in every way. First the chapel was crowded with old and young. Mr S. W Mur ray occupied the chair of honor on the platform. The committee on recep tion took their places in front of the platform and greeted,with the pastor, all of the audience most cordially. Dr. Reimensnyder was called upon to deliver the first words of greeting. He paid a high tribute to tlie Methodist church iu geueral and her work in the world and then spoke in glowing terms of this particular congregation. He was followed by Rev. M. H. Havice, who spoke of the ministerial relations in Milton and the noble record of this congregation. His remarks were well received. Rev. H. C. Harman, the new pastor, then responded to the call aud spoke appreciatinglv of his wel come and the hearty greeting. He as sured those present that ho would do his best to serve the faithfully to the best of his ability. He spoke feeling ly and earnestly aud made a very fav orable impression. Mrs. Harman and the other members of the ministerial family, a son and daughter, joined in the receiving with graceful manner. Refreshments were then seived to the entire audience. Some of the town pastor* were prevented from attending by another meeting. The reception last evening was another evidence that when our Methodist people undertake anything, they do it well and in first class style.—Milton Standard. Are You a Dyspeptic?

At first the attack was thought to be severe grippe, then a light touch of typhoid, but later the fever took on its worse form with death as the result. Rob erts entered Buoknell from Susque hanna, where he was the best athlete of the school. At Bucknell he played half-back on the football eleven, for ward on the basket ball team, and would have played au outfield on the baseball team. The young man, who is scarcely in twenty, had a bright athletic future. Personally he was very popular aud of splendid habits. A Meritorious ißecord. Their record of eighteen successful semi-annual tours shows conclusively the merits ot the Lyman H. Howe Moving Picture Co., which exhibits in this city on Monday evening. No other similar show has such an endur ing record. The reason of this success is that they have aimed from their first performance to make the next bet ter and they always pri s'-nt more up to-date aud expensive pictures than any one else dare attempt. They have continued that plan this year on a still wider scale than ever before and their pictures are simply a successiou of sur prises The improved machine they use this time is the highest development iu the art and projects the pictures in a de lightful, satisfactory, elegant and im pressive manner. ! *AV ADOPT STEAK POWER The ferry putin a fall day yester day. TripH were made regularly and in addition to the usual number of foot passengers a good many horses and vehicles of various sorts were transported. During several trips the flat was crowded with teams. The toat is now equipped with a substantial irou railiug,which Insures greater security to teams in crossing. New lee boards of greater capacity have also been added, which give the ferry more draught and increases the speed. While repairs were in progress a trip was iuade noon yesterday without lee boards. Very slow prog ress was made until the middle of the stream was reached when the ferry came to a standstill. One of the busses and several other top vehicles were on board which presented quite a resist ance to the strong wind blowing and helped to stop the boat by counteract ing the force of the current. During the afternoou the new lee boards were installed and further trouble was ob viated, the ferry easily making trips : from shore to shore in six minutes. Gearhart township had several teams i employed yesterday in hauling gravel for the lauding on that side. The stone | carried from the pier by the coal dig ger on Monday were used as a founda tion at the water's edge, where the ground is very soft. The gravel haul | ed yesterday was used in connection with the stone in completing the road down to the ferry. The landing is now in fairly good state and is pro nounced by those who cross with wag ons as in a much better condition than the landing on the Danville side. The County Commissioners of Mon tour and Northumberland counties will hold a joint meeting in this city i today at which a proposition from the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will be considered looking to the adoption of steam as a motive power for operat ing tho ferry. The full details have not been made known but the plan is considered perfectly feasible. Fish Wardens Will Be Active. Good trout fishing according to all 1 ' accounts will be two weeks late. In streams running through snow-bound I sections this will be especially true, j With snow water in the streams, trout ] are not usually frisky, neither is it ! natural for bugs to float on the sur- j face, and the prematurely appearing artificial fly or bait is an object of sus picion to the game fish. Some of the open streams which run for miles through stretches where the April sun can fall unrestrictedly upon them are , all right tor bait fishing, for in these j streams the fish get warmed into ac tivity that welcomes the first cast of a wriggling worm after a winter's fast. With the season now open the vigil i ! of game wardens throughout this sec tion of the state will be increased. Each has been instructed bv the offic i ers of the Sportsmen's association to i be on the lookout tor illegal fishing. They have been ordered to arrest any i one caught taking tront of an illegal i j size and also to take into custody those i | detected baying or seliiug trout. No game fish can be legally takeu i except by rod, hook and line. [ Size of trout that may legally be taken is six inches. But fifty brook tront can legally be takeu in one day. i It is illegal to buy, sell or offer for sale auy brook trout. Trout caught in an illegal manner mast be released alive. Generous Justice at Bloomsburg. Here is a chance for love-sick swains ( who would a-married be—and who i lack the price generally supposed to : be necessary. i In Clem K. Weiss, Bloomsburg's t newly elected Justice cf the Peace, J they have a benefactor, the IIKO of t whom has seldom been seen in this grasping age. Mr. Weiss enters upon his duties as I justice the first of May, and for one ' month he agrees to marry, absolutely ' free of all cost, auy love-sick swains 1 who will allow him to tie the knot, ' and he promises, furthermore,to tie it so effectually that it will take nothing short of a divorce court to untie it. r To the Juno brides this will come as " a crashing blow,for Mr. Weiss restricts j the time limit to one month, the time ' expiring on the first of Jane. There ' is some talk,however,of the Columbia 1 county girls preparing a petition 1 which they will present to Mr. Weiss, E asking that he lengthen tho period 1 from oue to two months. It might be stated, in order that the ' girls be not deceived, that in the mat rimonial art Mr. Weiss is somewhat of an amateur, and as yet is woefully in • experienced, bat lie is counting on the I experience of the month to stand him in good stead ou the stormy sea of a t justice's life. i It is barely possible that lie will furnish free cabs,receptions aud a few I other adjuncts to a successful marri • age. , A Thoughtful Man.

BRAHMAN'S I COOL BEADED ACT To be caught in a railroad collision \ and to save one's life by jumping is j no doubt an evidence of some presence 1 a of mind. It. remained for a P. & K. j t brakemau, however, who was caught j , in a wreck at this city Sunday to display the very acme of cool headed- .. ness by calmly weighing his chances | of escape as the in i xup thickened | around him and deciding that to cling j to his hold between two cars derailed , would be a wiser coarse than jumping. The wisdom of his coarse is well borne , out by tho fact that he escaped without a scratch. Tho wreck oceurre I shortly after noou as three large steel cars, loaded with soft coal were hsing pulled over the switch on the cinder tip to the Reading Iron Works by the switch en gine commonly used for this purpose. In orded to gain momentum to assist in ascending the grade ahead the train as it passed in front of the convent was running very fast. When on the crossing at the corner of Center street and Montour Row something happened to throw the car next the engine off the track. Francis Longonberg ir, a hrakeiinn, was be tween this car aud the one following, standing on a narrow step near the top of the second car. where h • c iuld hold onto the brake ro i. These heavy steel cars are apt to act very peculiarly in a wrack, aud while they may be bat tered and beut into almost auy shape they seldom go co pieces. As the sec oud car in tho wreck Suuday crashed into the first car the latter one was thrown across the track at right angles, while the second car flew in an op posite direction landing finally in about the same position, tho third car jat the same moment joining tho mix- I up. The ends of each of the cars were badly broken and battered while the cars themselves were torn from their trucks, but the plucky brakemau, who had decided to hold onto his post rode through the disaster unharmed, al though badly shaken up as the cars ! came together airl jumped the track. ■ After coolly surveying tho wreck he j climbed down from his perch and along | with others began to investigate the ' ,ause of the accident. As to this there jis a difference of opinion, some attri j buting it to a spreading of the rails and others to a broken flange. The I track for one hundred and fifty feet was torn up by the accident and had I to bo relaid. The cars were unloaded, ' after which tho wreckage was cleared away by the wreck train, which was brought down from Catawissa. i Brakemau Longenberger to a repre jseutative of the American ex | plained how lie arrived at the conclu • sion not to jump. Said he : "I saw what was going to happen aud I had to act quickly. I said to myself if I jump on that side I will be uuder the cats when they leave the track and if I jump on the other sido I will have 40 or 50 tons of coal dump ed on me—l'd better stay where I am aud take my chances." Ko man could have reasoned more I accurately even though he had a day for it instead of a simile second of time, which was all that was given to this poor railroader. .lumping on either side tie would have met liiß death. The above is at least one instance on \ record where a man saved his life by | not jumping. Horse Jumped Off Eerwick Ferry. i Mr. and Mrs. Jerre Nuss and child, 'of near Beach Haven, were crossing the river on the Berwick and Nesco [ peck ferry Sunday afternoon when ttieir horse became frightened and ran ' off the end of the ferry. Fortunately the ferry had neared | the shore before the a«'ci lent occur red and the horse and occupants escap ed injury although Mrs. Nuss was I thrown into the water aud compelled !' to wade to shore. Seeing the horse i was becoming very nervous Mrs. Nuss 1 and child got out of I lie buggy and ; had barely stepped down when the tiorse started. The wagon struck the side of the ferry and in some mauuor , held fast. The first wheel hanging ov jer front end of the ferry and in that ! manner was shoved to the landing. I The harness was somewhat broken and dash board bent not to mention the very unpleasant experience of Mr. Nuss. Makes a Clean Sweep. There's nothing like doing a thing | thoroughly.

They have 128 hands employed at this season,dig ging and couuting for shipment all over the United States. The branch of the central nursery has 'jeen located here. It is largely controlled by Kal amazoo capital. Among the importaut industries are : The Sheffield Car Company, The In itial Toe Fad Company, Robe Tanning Company, Three Rivers' Paper Mill Company, Knitting Mill, American Photograph and Supply Company, Eames Trolley Company, Three Rivers Foundry Company, National Fur and Tanning Company and Bicycle works. The Three Rivers Flouring mill burned down recently. There are sev eral other industries, the names of which I have not learned. It has raiued aud snowed nearly ev ery day since our arrival here. There is quite a lot of corn to husk ; the cold weather came on early last tall and caught many of the farmers.

Savidge farm, in Upper Augu?ta township, Northumberland county about three miles from Sunbury, dis covered that the house was on fire and . so rapidly bad the flames spread that the family had a narrow escape from j meeting a horrible death, being forced | to flee in their night clothiug. How tho fire originated is a mystery. During Sunday a wood fire was kept burning in the house but at the ap proach of evening the fire was allow ed to die out and it is hard to believe that the building caught from this fire in the stove. Some people residing near by are of the belief that the building was set on fire by «ome un known party, but reasons leading to such an act cannot be given or imagin ed. The members of the family made their escape from the burning house just in time for it was but a short time afterwards when the entire structure was a seething mass of flames. So rapidly did the fire burn that it was utterly impossible to save anything from the house and Mr. Smith suffered the loss of all of his household goods and everything that was in the house at the time. To add to Mr. Smith's misfortune is the fact ttiat he carried no insurance and bis loss is a very severe blow. An effort was made to extinguish the fire but it had gained such head way that it was soon beyond all power of control. The members of the Smith family were forced to seek shelter in , | the home of a near-by neighbor. The house was a large doable dwelling and the fire oould be plainly seen for many miles around.
