James 11. 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. A
quartette consisting of Miss Margaret
Ammerman, Miss Lizzie Russell, Sam
A. McCoy and Carlton Mcllenry.rend
ered appropriate iuasic during the ser
vices.
The flowers were very beautiful and
consisted of a large set piece repre
senting the lodge emblem of the Elks
and an offering from a club iu Pert!
Amboy to which the deceased belong
ed.
The pall bearers were: E. O. Voris
ot Scrantoa, John Grier Voris, Ralph
B. Diehl, William M. Robisou.Sam A,
McCoy, and Edward V. Stroll of this
city.
Among those from out of town wlu

A Y. M. 0. A. Secretary Amone: th<
Sioux Indians.
The Sioux Indian Y. M. O. A. sec
retary has been speaking at the As
sociations in the vicinity of New York
lately. He is a full-blooded Sioux.
His name is Ta-suu-ke-maui, or Walk
ing Horse. He travels among the
forty-five Associations in the Dakotas.
These Associations, he says, have re
cently erected three new log build
ings, making the number now occupi
ed thirteen. The Indians built these
themselves and gave the money tor
the hardware, windows, etc., costing
to SSO apieoe. In his travel dur
ing the past winter he has often been
caught in blizzards on the prairies
aud obliged to camp out in a light
tent. In June he will hold six As
sociation training conferences in at
many different Indian reservations,
which will be attended by from 100 tc
400 men, many of them driving sever
al hundred miles to the conference
places. At one such conference last
year a skilled farmer gave lectures on
farming and stock raising, followed
by conferences and discussions of prac
tical questions and problems iu the
daily life of the Indian farmer. Mr.
Tibbetts has arranged some of the In
ternational Association Bible courses
for his own members—oue for the In
daus who cannot read, another in the
Dakota language and a third for youu?

REPAIRS ARE
COMPLETED
Repairs ou the Flat School House,
which is being fixed up to receive the
shoe manufacturing business brought
here from Miltord, N. J., are now
practically completed and the building
shows up very nicely. In addition to
a new roof, a new floor has been laid
on both tirst and second stories.
New glass has been putin the win
dows and many other repairs made.
Some finishing touches, including
painting, was put on the interior of
the building yesterday.
The ol<l school building with its ab
undauoe of light and good ventilation
is admirably adapted to a small manu
facturing busiuess, eacli of the two
floors furnishing suitable room for
machinery.
During an interview with one of the
Directors of the Board of Trade yes
terday it was learned that the plant
I including all the machinery, engine,
tools and a large quantity of leather
was expected to arrive at Danville by
last night or this morning.
| The equipment is accompanied by
I sis men, including J. C. Stem, former
owner, who will remain in Danville
until the new management becomes
familiar with the details of the busi
ness.

The Untoward Spring.
Warmer weather is promised for the
next couple of days. 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.

BIG FIRE SWEEPS
TOKONVO'S (IGNTBE
TORONTO, April 30. The fire that
raged throughout the night and up to
an early hour today in Toronto's
wholesale and retail district was the
most disastrous iu the history of the
city. The total loss is conservatively
estimated at between five and six mil
lion dollars." The principal ware
houses of the city were reduced to
ashes aud nearly 250 firms were pur out
of business.
The area covered by the fire is three
blocks in width. Every building on
Bay street from Melinda southward to
the Esplanade at the water front was
wiped out and the fire spread on Wel
lington and Front streets and the
Esplanade along the water front,from
their intersection with Bay street for
distances of a few hundred feet to a
whole block.
The total number of buildings de

his experience. Here is a case of it.
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 description of their symptoms tal
lied almost exactly with uiine and in
duced me to try the remedy. On using
them a short time the whole trouble

A Delightful Reception.
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.

Bucknell Athlete Dead.
L«wis Roberts, one of Bucknell's
all-round athletes, died of typhoid
fever at Frackville. Roberts was tak
en sick about five weeks ago. 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.

' 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

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.

E. FLICK
Three Rivers, Mich., April 11, 1904.
To the American: —I will drop
a few lines at this time believing that
they will prove of general interest to
your readers.
Three Rivers is beautifully laid out
and presents a fine picture. Many of
the streets are lined with stately shade
trees and well-kept lawus surround the
houses. The greater number of the
dwellings are fine specimens of arch
itecture. On every side withiu the
city are evidences of thrift.
The"Three Rivers" are St. Joseph,
Rock and Portage. Visitors to this
city are met with a friendly greetiug
and their stav is made pleasant. The
Lake Shore aud Michigan Central R.
R. pass through this city. There are
three banking iustitutious and nine
churches.
The immense strawberry farm of
R. M. Kellog i 9 the great horticultur
al industry, which has practioally
made Three Rivers famous. 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.
These people have not lost their pride
in horses, harness or wagons as seems
to be the case in the East, where any
thing will do in that line.
Yours respectfully,
E. V. FLICK

The Optimist.
There actually are some people who
can find good in everything but the
palm must lie awarded to the cheerful
man who tries to console himself tor
the severe winter we had by saying
that the frost went so deep that the
potato bugs were frozen to death aud
that the tubers will be plentiful and
cheap uext fall. The theory lias sup- j
porters.
FAMILY HAD A
NARROW ESCAPE
Shortly before three o'clock Monday
morning the members of the family of j
John Smith,who reside on the Samuel
O. 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.

A startling iuuid tit, is narrated by
| John Olivt-r of Philadelphia, as fol
i 1 lows: "I wa-i in %u awful condition.
, My skin was almost yellow,eyes sank
en, tongue coated, pain continually in
back and sides, uo appetite, growing
i weaker day by day. Three physicians
had given me up. Then I was advised
I to use Electric Bitters: to my great
joy, the first bottle made a decided
improvement. 1 continued their use
j for three weeks, and am now a well
man. I know they robbed the grave
iof another victim." No one should
fail to try them. On'./ 50 cents, guar

A Oure for Headache.
Any man, woman or child .suffering
from headache, billiousness or a dull
' drowsy feeling should take one or two
of DeWitt's Little Early Risers night
and morning. These famous little
I pills are famous because they are a
j tonio as well as a pill. While they
j cleanse the system they strengthen and
rebuild it by their tonic effect upon
the liver and bowels. Sold by Paules
& Co., and Gosh & Co.
Russians are still undecided as to
whether their battleship was sunk by
| mine or torpedo. But there is no
doubt that she was sunk.
Ayers
Impure blood always shows
somewhere. If the skin, then
boils, pimples, rashes. If the
nerves, then neuralgia, nerv
ousness, depression. If the
Sarsaparilla
stomach, then dyspepsia,
biliousness, loss of appetite.
Your doctor knows the
remedy, used for 60 years.
