W. Egcert.is the central figure. The atlair caiuo to the attention of the Boston newspaper through Mr. Eggert's visit to Boston on the occasion of the national en campment. Tho account reads: The donation of a "comfort hag to the Union soldiers during the Civil war was the means of establishing a friendship between Charles L. Bullard of No. 9,Kichdale avenue, Somerville, and Richard W. Eggert at present a newspaper editor of Danville, Pa. Ihe meu have corresponded but they have never met and today Mr. Bullard with a photograph he had received from his friend aud several letters written dur ing the Civil war was at the South station eagerly scanning every face beneath a Grand Army hat. "I may know him from his picture," said Mr. Bullard, "but lie won't know me because he never saw even a pict ure of me. We have never met, yet we feel like brothers. I would give anything to meet him aud entertain him at my house. " Our readers will be interested to know that the two fast friends who had uever come together before suc ceeded in meeting during the encamp ment. Richard missing Mr. Bullard on arriving at Boston and being pro vided with the latter's address went direct to his house and at the very moment when the man was exciting so much interest by his inquiries at the station Mr. Eggert was snugly tacked away in bed in his friend's house taking a nap. Mr. Eggert still possesses the "com fort bag" which fell into his hands in IHT>4, when he was an artilleryman in Battery F, Socoud Pennsylvania Art illery,and which led to the friendship between himself and Mr. Bullard so oddly maintained during forty years of their life. The "bag" is qr.ite or namental in its way, the colors red. white and blue predominating. Upon being unfolded several little pockets disclose themselves in which are still that New England home so many years ago to minister to the needs of the boys in blue. The comfort bag was made by the mother of Charles Bullard who was then only twelve years of age. The bag was sent to the Sanitary or the Christian Commission whence it fell into Mr. Eggert's hands. Commonly the bags contained the names of the maker, but in this case the little slip of paper euclosed bore the name of the boy, Charles L. Bullard. Richard wrote to the lad and during some time a correspondence was kept up but it was dropped before the close of the war. About nine years ago Mr. Bullard became curious to know whether his soldier friend had surviv ed the battles of the Civil War and if so bow he had fared during the long iuterval of thirty years following that conflict. He accordingly wrote to the war de partment and with assistance from that source traced Mr. Epgert to Dan ville, when tho correspondence was renewed. The grand encampment at Boston gave Mr. Eggert an opportun ity to visit Mr. Bullard. Daring Daylight Hold-up. Highway robbers, in true western style, in broad flaylight, on Monday held op Henry Leader of Northumber land, along a country road, and took from him a sum of money amounting to about twenty-six dollars. Mr. Leader is an agent for the At lantio Tea Co., and with a horso and wagon,drove to Milton from his home Monday, to make his weekly delivery and collection. While returning home about four o'clock in the afternoon, two men sprang from the dense shrub bery along the road near the Chillis quaque bridge. One of the men grab bed Mr. Leader by the feet and drag ged him from the wagon, tin* latter falling ou his back in the road, with the other on top of him. The man had a sharp instrument in his hand and made an attempt to cut his victim with it. Mr. Leader struggled desper ately with lii 111 and was successful in preventing him from inflicting an in jury. But while they were struggling on the ground, the second man search ed his pockets and took his money bag, which contained about twenty five or twenty-six dollars. Allowing Mr. Leader to rise to his feet, the men pulled revolvers from their pockets, and pointing them at him, instructed him to climb into the wagon and drive on without making an outcry, or they would blow the top of his head off. The highwaymen tin n made for the mountains and escaped. Mr. Leader describes his assailants as being about live feet seven inches tall, heavy set and smoothfaced. Both wore black suits and derby hats and had their coats buttoned. He stated that he could not see what was in the hand of the man who pullel him out of the wagon, but he believes it was a knife. The Ride of his face is badly scratched, and he is quite sore from the fall. In their haste, the men neglected to search the wagon, and missed s2;"> which was under the seat cushion. i SAMUEL ANTRIM'S INTERESTING PET: Samuel Antrim of New York arrived at tliis city on the 10:11) D. L. & W. train yesterday accompanied by an odd pot in the form of a four months old cub captured in the Nippenoso mountains, Lycoming county. Mr. Antrim led his pet by a chain j and was able to do with him about as j ho pleased. It was not safe for Strang- ' ers, however, to tako any liberties with the boar,which had attained the size of a collie dog and kuew how to i be aggressive if the occasion offered. As soon as the train pulled out Mr. Antrim led the cub to a pool of water near the station. A large crowd,most ly women and children, by this time had assembled and while tlie little animal disported itself in the water j the owner explained how he happened J to got hold of the bear. Accompanied by a friend he was en j joying an outing in the Nippenose val ley about a month ago when one day they came across two cubs. Each of the little fellows had climbed into a tree. The men were anxious to cap ture the bears and decided to chop down the trees. An axo was procured and while they were trying to dis lodge the cuh afterward captured the other one made its escape. During the four weeks that Mr. An trim has had the boar in his posses sion lie has become very much attach ed to it. He was on his way yesterday to his brother's farm in Valley town ship, where lie intends to b-ave his pet for the present. AN ENDLESS CHAIN. Gratitude Stretches it Further and Fur ther in Danville.

WILD STEER ON THE RAMPAGE An eleven-hundred pound steer while being led to the slaughter Saturday afternoon escaped and went on a most remarkable rampage. The beast seem ed to realizo what was in store for him aud to be determined to sell his life as dearly as possible. Several per sons narrowly escaped being injured by the infuriated animal as ho charg ed through people's back yards aud attacked the boats as lie swam the riv er in his fruitless dash tor liberty. The steer was a largo dark oolored animal purchased o£ Drover J. O. Campbell, Rush township,and by him dolivorod at Lyon's cattle pen on Wed nesday. On Saturday afternoon the hoof was led out to the slaughter house. Around his neck was a long rope of thirty teet or more, which was to bo used in drawing him up for slaught er. Before tho end of the rope could bo slipped through tho ring the steer, which was of a very wild disposition, made a dash tor liberty aud with Charles White and another attache of tho slaughter house hanging onto the long ropo ran out over Ferry street and across the cinder tip to the rear of Mill street where with tho two men still tugging at tho rope he dashed through the gate leading into the back yard of Bernheimer's clothing store. No obstaclo sufiicod to check the frantic steer and he plunged through tho fence into the back yard of Miss Waters' millinery, while another leap took him iuto the yard adjoining, which is back of Butterwick's jew elry "tore. Up to this point a path of ruin and broken feuces marked his course through the back yards. At Mr. Butterwick's, however, he was prepared to give his grand stand performance. After capering about tho yard for a moment ho made »>u assault on thb basement window. There was a report ot shattered glass as the animal ram med his horus through. His intention was evidently to seek refuge in the basement, but he was prevented by an inside shutter, Rtrongly built, which had been placed there by Mr. Butter wick to add greater security. At this point the steer leaped back in tho yard of tho millinery, where tho two men were still clinging to the rope. As tho animal charged in their direction they were glad to let go and run tor their lives. They had an ex ceedingly close call aud Mr. White did not entirely escape. He bad barely got through the gate leading out of the yard when he was struck by tho steer and hurled violently to the ground, sustaining bruises but no serious iu jury. Tho animal, now wholly free, took to the canal which he followed as far as Church street,where he made direct for the river. The ferry boat loaded with people and teams had just loft tho Danville shore when the big sfeer came rushing down to the river. He did not hesitate a moment but with a mighty leap plunged into the water, still swollen as the result of the recent rains, and began to swim toward the South Danville shore Before proceeding far he changed his course in the direction of the ferry on" (joaiVi soorC rntitfe —up' About this time several boats rowed out from the Danville shore in pursuit of the runaway steer audit was not long until lie had more than he could do to beat off his pursuers. It was u remarkable spectacle, how ever. As the several boats closed round to get hold of the long rope, which was still fast to the steer, the latter handicapped as he was by the water,] ut up a valient light. The men in the boats,among whom was Charles White from whom the steer escaped, were obliged to use their poles to beat the infuriated animal off. At onetime ho seemed on the verge of getting his front feet into oue ot the boats. Finally as the opposite shore was approached, oue of the pursuers suc ceeded in getting hold of the rope. The steer seemed to realize his oppor tunity aud striking bottom about this time he made a dash for shore drag ging the row boat after him at a rate which cast the best record of the naph tha launches far into the shade. Strik ing the shore the boat and its occup ants were dragged out upon the sand, whilo the steer sought refugo among the bushes. Here with the aid of a tree the rope wan quickly snubbed and the animal made secure for the time being. His eyes by this time were wild aud blood shot and his rage was appalling. No power could restrain him and it was not long before he broko the rope and charging upon some men who stood in the way he rushed back into the river. Ho soon turned, however, and struok out in a bee line for the ferry land ing, which was well-lillod with peo ple. Many in waiting at the sjwt were women and children and it was all they could do to get out of the way. From the ferry landing the steer made his way up through South Dan ville aud disappeared in the direction of Drover Campbell's farm. Late Saturday night it was learned that the animal was corralled on the Hununor farm where witli several oth er steers he had been kept for some time after being unloaded from the cars when brought east. He arrived in a savage mood and several about the farm barely escaped injury before he was safely stabled. A Power For Good.

SEUNIUK OF DERI FtllLl The Dorr reunion, which took place at the fine old homestead occupied by Miles J.

CONCERNING THE, PUBLIC HEALTH It is pretty apparent to every observ ing citizen that the public health just now ih not so good as it Bltould be. What uiakoj this fact the least bit dis quieting is that the prevailing malady »H fever. It is true the oases are not all diagnosed as typhoid fever, but typhoid is on the list, and whether typhoid or not many of the cases are of a serious type. In the situation there may be nothing abnormal, hut in at least one physician's practice the state of artairs is dangerously near the limit. It is not the inteution to create a scare, but rather to call attention to a few common sense measures, wise at all times but doubly so at the close of summer, which is ttie season that ty phoid is apt to make its appearance. The only remedy and the only pre caution lies in cleauliuess and in ex ercising care as to the source of driuk ing water. Ever since the dreadful outbreak of typhoid at Butler there seems to be a solicitude generally felt throughout the country. The precau tion reoommended Is to boil all water that is used for drinking. This is be ing done at preseiit by a good many poople in Danville. The river is still coutamiuated with sewage from the Hospital for the Insane; neither are the several wells still in use about towu above suspicion so that boiling the water is the one precaution essen tial in both cases. There are many places about town where drainage is defective and waste water drains from the rear of the houses to the stieet iu front where it lies in the gutters until it becomes a breeding place for disease gerniß.

Web Worms Ready for Invasion. Fall webworms are going to be un usually plentiful this year, it is said at the State Department of Zoologv aud possessors of fruit or shade treos must Boon begin to take steps against the pests to preserve tho foliage and the health of the tree. Reports say that tho worms have been noticed in extraordinary large numbers iu the central and soutiieast ern parts of tho State and it is likely that they are just as prevalent in oth er sections. Not unlike the tent caterpillar iu its methods,the treatment which is useful in curtailing the numbers of these will be found just as useful iu doing HWAV with the webworms. The Fall wuowormo . aud shade trees, being omnivorous. One of the best plaus is to destroy the egg masses by clippiug them off with a pruning fork and burning them or throwing them away at some distauce from any trees. One of the commouost methods of destroying tent caterpillars aud Fall webworms is to burn out tlib nests, but State Zoologist Surface ftowns up on this method. In disoussing how to rid trees of suoh pests in the April bulletin from his department, he said that almost auy method is better t!iau burning. If this plan is followed, however, the torch should be passed under the nest aud held there only so long that the worms will be sooruhed and fall to the ground. Generally the flame is held to a nest several times as long as is uecessary aud the tree is damaged. There are several devices for destroy ing the nests by mechanical means twisting them out of the tree aud de stroyiug them. A stiff, oonical brush may be used for this purpose aud some have used simply a split stick. The bulletin also says: i "A commou method of destroying r the tent lu this State is to shoot it out i of the tree, loading the gnu with only r powder and wadding of paper. This makes fun for the boys, and is rather expensive, hat persons wiio have tried it say that It is very effeotive.
