"Hearst's Boston American'' of rec
ent date contains a description of an
interesting romance in real life,which
had its origin in the Civil War and in
which our townsman, R. 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.

Conditions Along Blizzards Run.
n Many inquiries are being made as
d to why action has not been taken by
Council necess iry to give the town
p the benefit of the public sewer, which
was completed nearly three mouths
<f ago.
A loud protest comes from people
Ililt V ill n tUli, »» in 1 «T|
churned, conditions fiinre the coumle
-6
tion of the sower, if anything, are
r
worso than before. The waste matter
from the P L. Brewery, it is true, is
well taken care of and there is nothing
to complain of from that source, but
along with the waste from the brewery
112 i J
the wator is also carried off so that it
is only in times of rain that any wat-
I er at all is found in the run.
The result of all this is that the sew
age from several dwellings,along with
highly objectiouable matter from oth
er sources, which previously contribut
ed to pollute the stream now drains
into the comparatively empty water
way soaking the earth and throwing
off an intolerable stench.
The question is asked why the sewer
constructed for tho public good at a
big expenditure, should not ho pat to
immediate use, and connection made,
at least, along Blizzard's run to take
in the sewage that is polluting the bed
of the stream. Conditions at present
are considered highly detrimental to
health.
In answer to these inquiries we
would state that Council has a sewer
ordinance regulating use, rates, &0.,
under consideration. The drafting of
the ordinance is at present in the
hands of the Committee on I'olico and
Ordinance. Other towns maintaining
sewers have been communicated with
and a great deal of useful data in this
way has been obtained. Council, how
ever, with street paving, municipal
light, &c., has so much on its hands
that it has not been able to give the
question of connecting with the 6ewer
the attention it would seem to merit.
The matter will no doubt come up at
the next meeting, after which an ord
inance will be pushed through as
rapidly as possible.
The Stomach is the Man.
A weak stomach weakens the man,be
cause it cannot transform the food be
oats into nourishment. Health and
strength cannot be restored to any
sick man or weak woman without first
restoring health and strength to the

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.

at the fine old homestead occupied by

township read some original poems, i
quite felicitous iu their way, which
contributed muoh to tho general am
usement. There was some excellent i
music on the occasion, the singers i
surrounding an organ which had been
carried out on the wide piazza. The
day was simply ideal in its nature;
the large assemblage of people were
all iu tine sprits aud the eveut social
ly was quite as much of a success as
iu other respects.

s What's in a Name.
' Everything is in the name when it
oornes to Witch Hazel Salve. E. C.
DeWitt & Co., of Chicago, discovered
some years ago how to make a salve
fioin Witch Hazel that is a speoific
for Piles. For blind, bleeding, itch
iug aud protruding Piles,eczema,cuts,
burns, braises and all skin diseases,
DeWitt's Salve has no euqal. This has
given rise to numerous worthless
counterfeits. Ask for DeWitt's—the
genuine. Sold by Paules & Co., Gosh
& Co.
Will Ask Pennsy to Ooutribute.
An effort is being made on the part
of the Berwick Citizens' committee to
have the Penusylvania Kailroad con
tribute the $4,000 necessary, in addi
tion to the $6,000 which the D. L. &
W. Railroad has agreed to contribute,
to make the necessary subscription of
|IO,OOO which Attorney General Car
son savs must bo subscribed before he
will recommend the coustructiou of
the Berwick-Nescopeck bridge upon
the site as proposed by the viewers
with the bridge built over the tracks
ot the D. L. & W. company.
Several of the railroad's counsel
have expressed the opinion that the
railroad should do something, but
whether they will or not remains to
be seen. There is no doubt but that
the amount ot the subscriptions asked
would soon be made up in passenger
trattle alone, as the passenger traffic
receipts at the Nescopeck station are
very large and would be even larger j
with proper facilities, aud then, too, !
the delay in the construction of the 1
bridge and the consequent tailing off
in travel during the wiuter months j
will cause a loss of more money than I t
the committee asks.
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. This
Council has decided must not be aud
the Chief of Police has instructions lo
notify people t > ul>ate such nuisances
instantly unde' |«ialty of arrest.

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. A
friend in Potter county tells us that he
has successfully conjbatted this pest
by soiubbiug the forks containing the
tent, as well as the nest itself with a
mixture made by the following for
mula: Lard,three pouuds; concentrat
ed lye,one pound; boiled teu minutes;
add warm water enough to make it
the consitsency of milk, apply it with
a rag or brush, or by au.v other means
to have it come into contact with the
tent caterpillar. A teaspoonful of
kerosene on each nest will also kill
the occupants."
