Randies, of Suubury, aged 41 years, a Pennsylvania Rail road engineer, met with a fatal acci dent about half a mile below Loyal sock, on the Eastern division, at 12:30 o'clock, yesterday. He was coming east on stock traiu, aud while leaning out of the window, wan struck on the head by some un known object, and bis skull crushed. He was brought to Montgomery, a distance of about, six miles, and taken to a hotel at that place. A doctor was ■uinmoued, who found him in a dying condition. His brother, Conductor Frank Han dles, of Suubury, was notified of the accident, and was taken to Montgom ery on a special train. He was an extra passenger engineer and a faithful, trustworthy employe. He wen* into the service of the com - pan? in 1888. He was promoted to an engineer about twelve years ago. Hid father,the late William Handles, who was an engineer on the N. O. R. W., was blown up with his engine at Herndon in 1868. Bandies died about two hours after the accident. Farms for Railroaders. The Pennsylvania railroad lias un der consideration a plan by which all of the thousands of its employes may, tf they so desire, become proprietors of little farms. The plan contemplates the parceling out of desirable land belonging to the railioad company, along the various lines of track, anil permitting the free use of this land to •very employee who wishes to put the land under cultivation. In oases where the employee him self might not have the time to con duct a little truck farm, tho otter would hold good, if the members of the employees family are willing to look after the laud. In thousands of oases such farms could be provided within a short distance of the homes of the men, aud in every case the farms would be in a place that would make easy the marketing of such pro duce as waa not consumed by the families of the employee. Dr. W. H. Tolman, director of the American Institute of Social Science, in Mew York, brought the plan to the attention of Presideut Cassatt in a let ter, which, besides advocating the ad vantages of the plan,showed how suc cessfully the same Idea is being carri ed out at present along the various railroads in France. It was shown that the Northern railroad in France bas provided farms for B,oooof its em ployees, and that the Eastern road has provided farms for 2,800, the Southern road for 3,600 and the Orleans road for more than 0,000 employees, aud that the farms, besides aiding the prosperity of the railroad men,also in crease the prosperity of the road and add materially to the wealth of the entire nation. President Oassatt replied to the letter In a cordial note, saying that he had considered the matter carefully, and whm impressed with the figures from Prance, and concluded by stating that be bad turned the letter over to the superintendent of the railroad with instructions to report upon the feasi bility of the scheme. Along some lines the road has not enough land along tbe right of way,but along other lines ll is believed the plau could be easily carried out. Reformed Reunion. The reunion of the Reformed church e» of Central Pennsylvania will be held at Edge wood Park, Shamokiu, today aud an elaborate program has been arranged for the occasion It is expected that a number of excursion trains will be run to Shamokin. and several thousand visitors are looked for.

FERRY SERVICE UNSATISFACTORY Owing to the low condition of the river it is impossible to operate the free ferry boats at Nescopeck and Cata wissa. At the latter place the flat, for some time, has been lying high and dry upon the land. The heavy rains of the past few days seem to have had no effect on the riv er and each day the conditions are less favorable for the ojieration of the Dan ville ferry boat. The ill effect 011 travel between this city and South Danville is becoming worse all the time aud delays of from fifteen min utes to over au hour are daily occur rences. The ferrymen have been doing ev erything in their power to facilitate matters, but claim that with the low state of he river nothing much can be done. The cable has become quite loose and should be tightened. A number of posh poles should be in readiness at times when the flat scrapes along the river bottom as this is about the only way the boat can be started after grounding. The last pole was broken on Monday night. One of the most difficult tilings to contend with is the overloading of the boat. At present not more than two or three heavy teams should be carried each time. The heavy load ing of the boat causes most ot the de lay in crossing the river. The river will have to rise at least four inches before anything like good service can be maintained. It is said tnat the cable will bo tightened today which it is expected will help matters somewhat. Tne Lighting Rod Man. For a number of years past the country people in this section have not been molested by the smooth in dividual commonly known as the lightning rod man, but he has again made his appearance in the vicinity of Buckhorn. Thursday morning a stylish looking gentleman, in a neat runabout driving n fine horse, made his appearance at the home of George Whitenight, a farmer residing in Madison township, and giving his name as Wilson, and that his business was selling a new lightning rod,proceeded togo into the details of his famous rod, as he called it, stating its superiority over all oth ers, that Mr. Whitenight could not do without it, and that he would put rods on the house,barn and all the out buildings for the small sum of SB.OO. This seemed a small amount to Mr. Whitenight, but still be did not wish to invest any money along this line But Mr. Wilson was peristent, until finally Mr Whitenight agreed, where upon an agreement was produced which fie was asked to sign. This ho did, thinking he was gettiug a bar gain. A 1500 insurance policy was al so thrown in with the deal. Mr Wil son then left, stating that the rods would he placed in position this week. Nothing more was said of the mat ter until Saturday morning, when along came two men with the rods in a wagon and driving two horses, said to belong to liveryman Buckalew, of town. The wire was quickly unloaded and one of the men clambered to the roof of the b.irn. Mr. Whitenight came out, when to his amazement and utter astonishment the man presented a bill for $3lO. Of course he was very angry but he was helpless. Ho had signed the agreement and sooner than have a lawsuit, he decided to pay the bill. The rods and some 175 feet of wire were given for the sß.(>o, hut here is where the trick came in. To each rod were fastened throe wire stays, some twenty feet to each rod, and for this he was charged 07 cents per foot. The follow that placed the wires said that was the way the company made their money. The job was soon completed aud after getting their dinner the two men left for the farm of Harvey Vau derslice,where they said they also had rods to put up. We failed to learn how they made out there, hut it is thought thev worked the same trick. Bloomsburg Daily. No Pity Shown. "For years fate was after me con tinuously" writes F. A.

A misunderstanding as to the plac ing of a trolley pole caused a great deal of excitement at the Third Ward sohool house Bloom street, yesterday morning The pole gang of the Stand ard Construction Company had torn up the cnncioto pavement about a foot and a half from the curb and had dug a hole for the purpose of setting the pole. Jacob Fischer of the Building and Repair Committee of the School Board was notified who in turn notifi ed the Street and Bridges Committee of Council The work was stopped, and the bole refilled awl the pavement repaired by the Construction Compa uy The pole was planted later in the street. ADMENDMENTS WILL BE NECESSARY Kroi.i present indications the lite ot Hie curb stone market, on Mill street is exiremrly slioit. On TueHday next, August 'Jnd, the election for street paving mnl the building of a municip al light plant will he held and if the vote is favorable Contractor I). ,T. Rogers will begin the street paving work within a very few days after wanl. Though the street will not be entirely closed it will be impossible to drive through it and for some weeks the mark* t will he shut out. To change the location of the mark et an amendment to Section 1 of the ordinance of October 29th, 1897, will have to be made by Council, and the matter will most likely come up for discussion at the next meeting. The present Ordinance reads in part as fol lows: "That the curb-stone market shall be held in the Borough ot Dan ville on Tuesday, Thursday and Sat urdav of each and every week as fol lows: From the lirst dav of May to the lirst day of November, closing at ten o'clock in the forenoon on the North side ol East Mahoning street from Ferry to Mill street, thence on the East side of Mill street from Ma honing to Bloom street, thence on the South side of Bloom street from Mill to Ferry street." From the first of November to the first of May the market is held on the West side of Mill street, running from Mahoning to Centre street. Section l> of the Market Ordinance also states that no market wagon or other vehicle shall he permitted to occupy the street in any other position than by being backed up to the curb-stone. No definite place has been settled on, different theories for its removal being advanced from time to time. Many people think that Ferry street would he the most convenient thorough fare for the market. Others again fav or the erection of a market house to be located at a oentral point. That the market must be moved is now a certainty. The width of Mill street will hardly permit of a market being held there after the trolley line is in operation. WOMEN'S WOES.

I have never had any cause to regret making that statement, and now over eight years afterwards, I can reiterate the statement. Hefore tawing this remedy I suffered for monfahs with hackaohe and lameness and soreness in the back. The pain over my hips was continu ous and when on my feet it was one steady gnawing ache. It hurt mo to do anything requiring a bending posi tion, sharp twinges would catch me so suddenly that 1 had to hrace myself until they stopped. The kidney secre tions annoyed me and I ofteu suffered from headaches. I read statements given bv people in this vicinity who had used Doan's Kidney Fills aud concluded to try them. They did me more good than any other medicine I ever tried. After a few doses I no longer experienced such severe pain ami finally the pain was removed en tirely.

The rocent order of the Pennsylvania railroad taking a braUeman from eanh freight train was discussed on Sunday at meetings of various Brotherhoods of railroad employes. The proceedings were kept, secret, but it. is understood that it grievance was formulated for presentation to the national officers of the railroad men's organization. The sentiment is against a strike at the present time Service Sunday Morning. During the absi nee ot the pastor, Rev lit Met'ormack, there will be services in the osition in meats, milk anil cheese which produce the deadly poisou. On a microscopic hut almost as dangerous scale it is the old question whether tiie fungus pick ed up tu the Held is a mushroom or a toadstool. Dr. L. L. Van Slyke, chemist at the State Experiment Station, describes accurately the taste of ptomaine poi son. He says that it has a peculiar benumbing taste on the tongue which is peculiar to this torm of jioison. "I was present," said Dr. Van Slyke, "when this poison was (list separated "40 years ago by Dr. V. O. Vaughn, Professor of Physiological Chemistry at the University of Michigan. Ho separated the substanoe from some in fected cheese and called me into his laboratory. On this suggestion 1 sam pled a drop of the solution,and I never have forgotten the peculiar taste. It has ofteu served me in detecting pto maine poisoning In samples of cheese that have bean seut to the station. Often they send a sample of cheese which has caused the poisoning of one or more persons, but the sample is too small to get a test for the poison witli chemical reagents. In these cases I have often been able to detect the poi son by taste. "The particular variety of ptomaine which is found in dairy products, cheese and milk,is called tyrotoxicon. This form of the poison frequently de velops and strikes a community like a pestilence. Ice cream is a favorite pro duct in which to find tyrotoxicon. It is also frequently found in meats and oysters. At thia time of the year it often develops in dark, close places and has its origin in dirt and tilth. Cleanliness is the best preventative of this dreaded poison. To be reason ably safe,keep the ice box clean. Scald it out at least once a week and lot it air. Do not eat food that shows mold. If the sense of smell is offended, through the food, out with it to the garbage can. Heed promptly a warn ing from your palate. The senses may not always be relied upon to protect you, but they will go a good way to ward warning you against the presence of tyrotoxicon or the other forms of ptomaine.

L. & W. depot had a narrow escape from being instantly killed on Saturday and the experience he underwent will prob ably be one that lie will never forget. It is jiart, of Harry's duty to take the number of all freight, cars en tering the Dunville yard. He walk ed up the track from the depot to the "Nail Mill Switch" on Sat urday morning to take the numbers of HO vera I cars that the Danville engine was about to push into a siding north of the main track. The engine was pushing the carN intended for this switch, and was also pulling another to he run on the siding south of the main track. Harry did not see this car and had stepped on the south side switch to get out of the way ot the train. .Before reaching the switches the en gine had gained considerable speed in order to make a "flying switch" and as the rear car came rolling into the siding it struck him with full force. Ho fell lull length, the front truck missing him completely. The rear truck, however, caught his clothing and dragged him quite a distance. The brakes were set on the car and it came to a stop shortly after it entered or the result would have been far more serious. The young clerk escaped with noth ing more than severe braises about his face and body and a bad fright, al though it is considered a miracle that lie was not instautly killed. Weak Hearts, are caused by indigestion. If yoo eat a little too much,or if you are subject to attacks of indigestion, the stomach expands—swells, and puffs up agaiust the heat. This crowds the heat aud shortens the breath. Rapid heart beats and heart disease is the final result. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat, takes the strain off the heart, cures indigestion, dyspepsia, sour stomach,and contributes nourishment, strength aud health to every organ of the body.

Major Evans, of the Department of Fisheries, before leaving for Atlantic City to attend the meeting of the Na tional Fish Association Tuesday, Wed nesday aud Thursday of this week said that he believed that most of the ap plicants are going into the frog raising industry. Nearly all of them are farmers and they have probably heard of the nice prices frog legs bring in the urban markets and they are willing to profit by a by -product of the farm that will bo very little trouble. "All you need," said Major Evans, "is a piece of marshy ground and the frogs will tako care of themselves. Tho marsh ought to he fenced in,how ever, as frogs aro migratory beasts. They are as good eating as chicken, some people think much hotter, and they are not nearly so hard to prepare for cooking." The frogs furnished by the Depart ment to applicants are shipped from the Erie and Oorry hatcheries, wheie they are bred in tho ponds ouside the hatchery walls.

Every con dition is favorable. The attendance is good, the discipline admirable, the esprit de corps fine and the purpose laudable. Under sucli circumstauces the week in camp ought to be one of pleasure and profit. These encampments of the National Guard ara schools iu citizenship. They not only train men iu military tactlos and maneuvers, but they teach them lessons in discipline and restraint which are as useful in civil life as in military service. Every citizen of Pennsylvania sound in body and mind will be improved by service in the Guard and it is tho duty of every citizen to give such service as will tit him in case of emergency to make valiant and effective defence of his couury. Tho annual encampments of the National Guard make for this re sult. This year the entire guard is assem bled in a body and the ten thousand citizen soldiers of the State are enabl ed to train together ami perfect them selves iu massed movements. We sin eerely hope that their best expecta tions tor the week will he fulfilled and that iu pleasure there will he no limit and in improvement great strides.

T. W CUTLER, Secretary ARMORIES TO BE OWNED BT STATE The agitation for Armories to bo owned by the State Is still being kept up aud members of the National Guard are being advised to talk with every candidate for the Legielature from their home districts and impress up on the law makers the absolute need of a system of appropriations for the construction ot Armories to be built aud owned by the State. Not only in Danville but in many other towns of Pennsylvania the arm ories in use have been condemned in addition to which it is a notorious tact that the troops in Pennsylvania at best are very meanly housed com pared with those of the adjoining states, New York and New Jersey, where thoosauds of dollars are provid ed for small Armories. The troops are entitled to good homes for they are at all times at the call of the State to proteot the homos of oth ers. lu Pennsylvania it is pointed out that not only does the State do noth ing toward providing armories outside of the allowance of |2OO per company per annum for rent, but, if an arm ory burns down aud the uniforms aud equipments are destroyed the State actually charges the calamity stricken company with the difference in cost of new equipment above what the in surance compauy allows. An armory at this time in Danville would be very appropriate. Improve ments along all lines are contemplat ed and a handsome armory would greatly add to our town's appearance. Brutally Tortured. A case came to light that for persist ent and unmerciful torture has per haps never been equaled. Joe Uolobick of Colusa, Calif, writes: "For 15 years I eudured insufleiable pain from Rheumatism and nothing relieved me though I tried everything known. I came across Electric Bitters and it's the greatest medicine on earth for that trouble. A few bottles ot it complete ly relieved and cured me."

The Oatawissa, the original engine used on the first trip made over the railroad between Tamaqua aud Port Clinton in 1843.is on exhibition at the St. Louis Exposition. Mr. Bensinger, formerly of Mahanoy City, who was eleven years old at the time, says that it was the first steam engine in actual service in this country. It was run on the line of twenty miles between Tamaqua and Port Clinton. The road was fitted up with wooden rails on top of which was scrap iron. The new "invention' created all sorts of eicitement throughout that region, people really fearing it as the forerun ner of the end of the world. This twenty miles of roads was not origin ally intended for passenger traffic, but for the carrying of coal. It pulled what were then called drift cars, and was able to haul about tweuty of them at one time. Each car carried about one and one-' half tons of coal, or 8, 0(H) pounds, while now any ordinary railroad en gine hauls a traiu of tweuty or more cars, each one of which carries from twenty to thirty tons of the black diamonds. This improvement and for ward step shows that either the min ister of seventy years ago was wrong when he said that it was the devil's work,or the old fellow must have been getting in his work pretty lively ever since. A Great and Good School. Wo have just received the cataloguo of the literary Institute and State Normal School at Bloomsborg, Pa . aud have been greatly inteiested in its contents. We note that emphasis is first laid on the preparation of young people for the profession of teaching (See pages 8 aud tt Also pages 18 to 24 inclusive). A practice school is maintained in which those preparing to teach, have daily experience under the supervision of critic teachers in all branches of the public school cur riculum. At the same time, instruc tion in Academic Studies is given by College and University trained speci alists, so that thorough scholarship as well as rare skill in teaching is acquir ed . Commercial Courses (pages 15 and 28), Music Courses (pages 11, 29, 80) and courses preparing for the various Colleges, including the Medical Col leges are also maintained, (pages 10, 24, to 27). All this with the pupil under the beat school and moral in fluences, makes the Bloomsburg school the best fitting school to be found any where.

The young men were unable to swim and Drain, who was in the lead, stepped from a rock into ten feet of water and sank immediate ly. His companions helpless and dumb with fright were unable to help him aud he drowned before assistance could reach him. The body was recovered by George Reese, Sherman Miller and George Costenbauder, three expert swimmers and divers, forty-tive minutes after the aocident occurred.
