KEYSTONE COI- IfflUN CO The contract holders of the Keystone Commission Company in this city yes terday received the following com munication : Dear Sir:—You are hereby notified that the Keystone Commission Com pany has removed its home office to 405 Metropolitan Building, East St Louis, Mo. This action on our part was necessary for two reasons, name ly- First, the inadequate service of the local express companies, secondly be cause of the action of certain Danville people to putin operation a plan that would work injustice to the general contract holders, which if putin op eration would disrupt the Company. Such a turn of affairs must be avoided for the protection of Danville aud oth er contract holders. Installments should be paid to Mr. Peters, or mailed to this Oompany to the above stated address. Checks will be sent to Danville con tract holders as their contracts appear for maturity, and all contract holders will be accorded fair and impartial treatment, regardless of locality. Hoping to receive your remittance and support as heretofore we assure you of our best endeavor to promote the interests of all contract holders, we remain Keystone Commission Co. The Keystone Commission Company began business in this city some time ago uuder tho name of the Interstate Commission Company, with offices at Buffalo, N. Y. Contracts were sold that matured with a profit of 60 per cent, iu uuriods that ranged from 10 to 76 weeks. A large business was estab lished in Danville aud the general offices were brought here later on from Buffalo and located in the Opera House b!ock. A short time ago a company was in corporated under the laws of Pennsyl vania known as the Keystone Com mission Company,whioh took over all the business of the Interstate Com pany, paying off old contracts and writing new business. R. H. Dockem was president of the uew concern and W. J. Souimers seo retary. Both men were connnected with the original concern and came here from Buffalo and their announce ment of removal to East St. Louiß comes as a decided surprise to the con tract holders. Peters stated last evening that he had no knowledge of the removal of the office until the letters were re ceived and that under the circum stances he oould receive no money. George Bostiau,recently of Berwick, is a very lively corpse. On last Fri day the report of his deathjwas circu lated in Berwick and it was not until the relatives from that place went to attend the funeral at New Columbus that it was learned that a mistake had boeu made and that instead of George Bostian as was supposed, George Piatt was to bo buried. The case is a very singular one inas much as the Berwick relatives, Mrs. Eugene Doty, of Fifth street, and A. E. Bostian, of Vine street, auut and uncle of Bostiau, are also aunt and uncle of Piatt and although expecting to attend the funeral of Bostain they attended the funeral of a similar rela tive and the flowers were fittingly us ed as a tribute, although for a differ ent corpse. Bostian is well known in Berwick and it was with expressions of sorrow that the news of his death was receiv ed. He left Berwiok but ten days ago and had played on the Y. M. O. A. second foot ball team. When the news was teceived the team thought serious ly of cancelling the game with Cata wissa aud attending the funeral in a body but ai the time was too short io which to notify the latter team it was decided to play although the players did so unwillingly It was with regret that they learned the funeral was not ou Sunday as they would have made arrangements togo to New Columbus if this had been the date. The mistake it seems was made through a telegram whioh Mrs. Doty received, which read briefly "George is dead ; funeral services Saturday af ternoon at New Columbus." George Piatt, son of Mr. and Mrs Wesley Piatt, of Pittston, resided iu Pittsburg, and it was not for a mo ment thought that it was he who was dead. The death was caused by hem orrhage and was a sudden one. As no name was mentioned it was thought the telegram meant Bostian. Blizzard Predicted by Prophet. Weather Prophet Devoe, of Haoken saok, N. J , says the temperature will fall rapidly andablizazrd will prevail over the Northern States the latter part of the week. Prophet Devoe pre dicted the blizazrd of 1888. A GREAT ATTRACTION A large aud cultured audience made up of Danville, Bloomsburg and Cata wissa people enjoyed one of the most I notable attractions of tlie season at the local theatre last night, the play being "The Triumph of An Empress" with Mildred Holland in the role of "Cath erine the Great of Russia." The telling of a more outline of the story can give no adequate idea ol the play's strength, nor cau it show the intense heart interest that runs through the entire piece. The entire oompany was exceedingly well balanced, made up of clever and taleuted people. Miss Holland's gowns and jewels were es pecially pleasing to the feminine por tion of the audience, who read their description in the Morr.iug News and saw her display of the latter at Smith's ; Jewelry store. Though Miss Hollaud has always been greeted with enthusiastic audi ences in Danville her new play met with popular favor last night. Its chief value, however,is in giving Miss Holland another of the roles in which she excels. The refreshing quality of her work is apparent when she is call ed upon to display either comedy or emotional quality. As "Catharine the Empress" she lias a role that fits tier admirably, nud she plays it well. She was accorded several curtain calls. Henry C. Mortimer's portrayal of the Emperor was sincere and intellig ent. Lillian Norris as a plotting count ess gave an impressive rendition of the diffloalt role. Effective support was also given by John A. Missen, George Warrington, Helen Young and Rita O'Neal. The remodeled stage of the Danville theatre accommodated the scenic effects to tho smallest detail. , AN ENDLEBS CHAIN.

IS STILL A MYSTERY Men Searched the mountains sur rounding Hickory Ridge all day Sun day hunting for the missing head of the man whose body was found by hunters Saturday morning, one hun dred feet from the public road, be tween Hickory Ridge and Shainokin. Everybody is convinced that the man was murdered, and it is generally be lieved the victim was a collector for an installment firm and that, he was robbed of a largo sum of money. The tragedy occurred immediately after pay day, and the region is generally visited by installment collectors after the miners receive their semi-monthly earnings. The body of the victim was taken to a Mt. Carmel undertaking establish i meut Sunday and carefully examined. The hands are small aud fair,the nails being well manicured. The body mea sured 5 feet 2 inches. The knuckles of the right fist a<■ torn, indicating 1 that tho victim had battled with one ' or more assassins. j A searching party Sunday night found a sack coat, two new gloves, a piece of garter, a four-in-hand tie and I a stickpin several hundred feet from ! where the body lay. The coat is . thought to have been torn from off the dead man. j Coroner Drelier. of Shamokiu, says the decapitation of the head was ac complished by one sweep of the kuife, the bones oft ie vertebrae being cut through. There was no dislocation and whoever nsed tho knife wielded it with anatomical knowledge. Six bullet wounds were found, two in the breast, two in the back,one un -1 der au arm and another in the calf of the right limb. The bullets wore from a 38-calibre revolver, several empty shells being found near by. i John Biernskev,pumpman at Hickory Ridge Colliery, says he heard pistol shots along the road about 8 o'clock Friday night, but p»id 110 attention to them, as frequently crowds of Lilian and Hungarian miners discharged fire arms at trees and in the air. i Tne body of the victim lay at Hick ory Ridge a long time before it was removed to the undertaker's and it was viewed by many men and women, all of whom were fearful it might be one of their relatives. In all of the more important towns in the region inquiries have beni made to learn whether any one has disap peared. So far no one has been re ported missing. Monday morning Coroner Dreher empaneled the following jurv at Mt. Carmel: Dr. W. SI. Lewis, James Whiteman, Dr. W. Leer Williams, John Dreher, W. P. Kemble and John A. Breslio. The jury viewed the body but no time was fixed to hear testi mony. it having been decided to wait ; homing that thero may be some later 1 developments in the case. Dr. Will j iams, of Mt. Carmel, st ifes that the I murdered man was about 35 year-i of i ; age aud weighed about 170 pounds. | It is likely that the Northumber j laud County Commissioners will offer 1 a rewnH for the finding of the miss ing head. There has been absolutely no new j developments in the case of tho head i j less man found on Saturday near Hick j ory Ridge. The whole region near the ! scene of the awful discovery has been I I searched in vain for the missing head. ( I It seems that almost every clue has been exhausted. Tuesday afternoon tho remains were ! laid to rest in the Potter's field in St. I Mary's cemetery. Undertaker Higgins s conducted the burial. Some light inav he thrown on tho I subject from the following story: One day last week a strange woman called ( on outside foreman J. Hesser at Hick . ory Swamp aud asked him to accom ( pany her to Natalie. He refused to go,but sunt his sou Albert and a com panion to escort her. While euroute, \ at a point near where tho body was discovered, she stopped them, pointed a rev lver at the young men, compel led them to deliver up their money, and then ordered them to return to 1 Hickory Swamp. Several weeks ago a woman and her son, who were traversing this road, were acosted by an unknown man, who wielded a hugo knife. The locality where this body was discovered is undoubtedly a most dang erous spot, which is shown by the ' stories of numerous robberies committ ed there. Thus far the County Commissioners 1 have offered no reward for the missing head, or for tho murderers. This mur -1 der makes the one hundred and fourth ' killing iu Northumberland county, against one hanging. Thief Looked Like Devil. Miss Mary Barrett,a young Shaiuok in woman was awakened by a strong grasp on her wrist A burglar stood over her. She cried out: "Ob, mother! Help me! The devil is after me!'' The burglar had taken oft his shoes and displayed rod stockings. Mrs. Barrett awakened, and, hear ing the retreating footsteps of the in vader, cried out: "It's my life or yours!" She ran down stairs after him, but he made his escape by way of tho front door. He had entered the house through a window aud had lighted a lamp. He then ascended the stairway and ex tinguished a lamp burning in the wid ow's bedroom after ransacking a bureau. F osen't Respect Old Age.

BLOOMSBURG 28 WYOMING 0 fhe ideal foot ball weather that pre vailed Saturday brought out a largo crowd of euthusiasts to witness the contest between the Bloomsburg Nor mal School and Wyoming Seminary at Bloomsburg. Those who expected to see au interesting and exciting game, were not disappointed. Although it was Bloomsburg's game from the start, Wyoming's play was not without vitu and dash, and the Normal's touch downs wore only made by hard, con sistent playing. The Bloomshnrg cap tain generaled his team admirably, to which was due in a large degree the inefficiency of Wyoming's defense. An old foot ball trick play called the "delayed pass" was worked by the Normal team a number of timos, and nearly always proved au excellent ground gainer. The quarterback on receiving the ball from the center quickly faces the back Held while the whole team with the exception of one back plunges through ceuter. The op j posing team, thinking the ball is go- | iug where the attack is made, direct j all their attention to centre, while the ' quarter with a half back for interefer- j ence takes the ball around either end. Bloomsburg male her first touch down in 9 minutes after playing had started. Two more touchdowns wore netted in the first half. It was in this half that Herman, Wyoming's quarter back, was injured and was carried from the field. It was at first thought that he was suffering from a fractured skoll, later, however, he regained con sciousness and it was found that his injuries were not serious. In the second half Gregory, of Wy oming's team had his shoulder blade broken. The game ended with the i score 28-0 in favor of Bloomsburg. The line up: Bloomsburg. Wyoming. Taylor left end. ... .

With a pardonable air of pride Mon day's Morning News announced that "Danville was filled with visitors on Saturday most of them coming into the city by way of the trolley line. Berwick, Bloomsburg, Catawissa and other towns in Columbia county were represented." This is the legitimate fruit of the trolley communication which Dan ville's enterprise helped to bring into operation. Where there are ea«y moans of intercourse there will be travel and business. We very much need something of that kind iu this locality. Probably in no other town of equal size in tin State are there so many arrivals of people from a distance as there are 111 Sunbury, but they come by railr; a 1 and do not have the same intent to do business with our local tradespeople as would those who come by trolley. There aro greater possibilities of busi ness with the latter kind of visitors, a fact that should be recognized by all towns that are looking atfer trade,and should make an impression upon the business meu of our city. We need trolley communication with other localities. We especially need it with Snyder county which would be a prolific source of business for our merchants and geuerc.l traders A trol ley lino extending from this plane through that s-eotion with its numer ous argicultural population and its many small towus, would greatly en large the geueral trading business of this city. Can't this be be made ob vious to our business people?-—Sun bury Item. A Heavy Load. To lift that load off of the stomach take Kodol Dyspepsia Care. It digits what you eat.

He tjf»vo ac counts of the leading addresses of the convention, reading extracts from many of them.

In this con nection he also spoke about the mis sionary collection that was taken up at the convention, and which amount ed to nearly §4OOO. He .>ave iu full the resolutions ad opted by the convention which are of especial importauce to Sunday School iuterests throughout the world. Mr. Laumaster's talk included many very interesting bits of description,his word pictures of the large tent in whic'i the convention was held being parti -nlarly absorbing. The big canvas was iu the form of a rectangular A tent open at the sides and ends, and sufficiently largo to seat many more than the 1500 regular delegates. Yet ! the tent was always crowded, many : natives standing outside. The tent was j pitched outside the walls of Jerusalem i near the Mount of Olives Golgotha and Geths-. mane, all places of extreme I interest iu sacred history. By the gov ! ernor's order special police and soldiers ! of the Sultan of Turkey wore detailed ! to guard the tent at all times; so that ! the best of order prevailed.

WLKEMItE t? 1 DANVILLE 31 The Ninth Regiment basket ball team of Wilkesbarre administered a a very decided defeat to the Danville s team at the Armory last evening by r the score of 67-31. The game, how- I ever, was not an uninteresting one- i sided contest, the soldiers only throw- « ing their baskets after the hardest kind I of work. The visitors outweighed the home i team, which was possibly their great- I est advantage. Danville scored the i first basket of the game and for a few minutes prospcets looked bright for a Danville victory,but Wilkesbarre soon 1 started the fine playing that held the locals down. The first half ended with the score 85-7 in favor of Wilkesbarre. Part of the second half was much the same as the first, audit was not until Kane, Wilkesbarre's star center, was compelled to leave the game on account of injuries, that Danville did any con» sistent playing. With only five min utes to play Danville made six pretty goals before time was called. The game ended with the score 67-31 in favor of Wilkesbarre. The line-up: Wilkesbarre. Danville.
