ENGINEER HAS
HEAD GEDSIED
Shludel O. 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.

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.

The Placing of Trolley Poles.
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.

Mrs. Edward E. Lunger, of 11
Church St., says:"l still think a
great ileal of Dean's Kidney Fills. I
would not think of being without
them in the house. I made a state
ment lot publication in 1890 in which
I pave my opinion of Doan's Kidney
Fills on account of the great benefit I
had received from their use. 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 annoyance caused by the
irregularities of the kidney secretions
was entirely removed. I can honestly
recommend Doan's Kidney Fills to

PROSPEROUS FALL
AND WINTER
From au industrial stand point Dan
ville in at present in better condition
than for a long time past and officials
connected with the different industries
about town speak most eucouragingly
of the situation.
The iron mills though not making
full time have liarl one or more depart
ments working all summer. Many of
the men who were temporarily out ot
employment found work on improve
ments etc., about the town. Before
the close of the present week the
Heading Iron Works will be operated
in full with the exoeptiou of the skelp
or 20-inch mill. The Structural Tub
ing Company is now operating its
plant night aud day.
The Curry <& Vannan Machine Shop
and Fouudry is a busy place. No mat
ter how dull the soasou is this plant
usually has work. A largo ortler for a
Power House in New York City has
just been completed aud other work on
hand makes it imperative that the
shop works full handed.
The Silk Mill is particularly rushed
with orders. While other plants ot
this character are either shut down or
working but half time during the sum
mer, this mill along with the mills at
Berwick and Shickshinny are running
full time.
The same can be said of the Stove
Works and the Knitting Mill both of
which are very busy. The small
er industries aud mauofacturng plants
are all doing well.

Beware of Ptomaines.
This muggy, damp weather of mid
summer produces au ideal condition
tor the development of the various
forms of ptomaine poisons. It is this
season that the family turn to the ice
box dainties tor luncheon and suppers,
and the ice box is the home of the
ptomaine. It is produced by tfie break
ing op of the proteid mole-oule in the
albumens and meats of the larder as a
result of bacterial growths. Under
some condition*!, the aotion of these
germs may make only of flavor and
give a zest to the palate, while under
others they cause a decomj>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. "

HARRy MILLER'S
NARROW ESCAPE
Harry Miller, a olerk at the 1). 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.

To Engage in Frog Culture.
More than one hundred Penusylva
nians have become suddenly interest
ed in frog culture.
That number of applications lor trogs
have been received at the Department
of Fisheries, at Ilarrisburg, since Fri
day morning in response to the an
nouncement of Commissioner Meehan
that the Department was ready aud
willing to furnish the nucleus for
what Mr. Owen Wister's Virginian
called a "herd" of trogs.
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

The National Guard.
The Pennsylvania division of the
National Guard began its annual en
campment at Gettysburg Saturday,un
der what may be regarded as general
ly auspicious conditions. 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

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." Just as
good for Liver and Kidney troubles
and general debility. Only 50c. Sat

oatawißßa'B Historic Engine.
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 catalogue is interesting
reading, giviug as it does the means
aud methods of an up-to-date school.
The marvel of it is,how much superior
advantages can be offered at such low
rates. Send for a catalogue. It is
worth haviug whether you expect to
attend or uot. Address
