LAD SEVERED
FROM BIS BODY
Tbe remains of Philip Lee, a son of
the late Philip Lee and who made Ins
homo with his mother at No. 5 Nicho
las A venae,this oity, were found early
Saturday morning,lying along the rail
road tracks at Oatawi«sa, shocfeiugly
mangled.
The body was found before day light
by E. D. Burger, as he wa« going to
work, at a point about midway be
tween the eleoirio light plant and the
Rupert crossing on the P. & R. road.
The body had been run over by the
cars a short time before. The head
was practically severed from the body,
being held oidv by a tissue of flesh at
the baok of the neck. Tha left arm was
also cut off.
The man killed was unknown to any
who viewed the body until a resident
of this oity hearing of the accident
while in Rupert, went over to see the
remains and identified the body as that
of Philip Lee, of Dauville. The sup
position is that he was killed by the
switch train, which in the neighbor
hood of fl o'clock every morning leaves
Catawiss* tor Danville.
Prior to the departure of this train
a man corre-»rondlug to the description
of Lee was ceeu about the railroad at
that point by Freight Couduotor Thom
as Harder. The man seemed to be in
danger of guttuig under the cats and
he was warned to keep away by Mr.
Harder as the I titer's train pulled out
from the siding. The man was not
notioed by the crew of the switch
train, but Oonduotor Edward Kosten
bauder upon heariug of the accident
later recalled feeling a jar in the ca
boose as it passed the spot where the
body was found. It is thought likely
that the tnau attempted to hoard the
caboose as the train passed and miss
ing his hold fell under the wheels
The body was given over in charge
of Undeitaker Berninger and Dr.
Sharpless, the coroner, was notified,
who in view of all the facts decided
that an iuquest was not necessary.
Philip Lee, the victim, was a life
long resident of this city. He was a
single mau about thirty-five years of
age. The remains wore brought here
on the 3:56 train Saturday afternoon.
The family of the deceased say that
Philip was at home on Friday night,
and that he was seen on Bloom streel
at 4 o'clock Saturday morning. How
and when he went to Oatawi«sa they
are unable to say. He is survived by
his mother, four brothers and one sis
ter —Thomas, Edward, John and Eu
gene aud Miss Maine Lee.
Old Timers Defeat VVilkesbarre.
The largest audience of the season
witnessed the game of basket ball be
tween the Wilkeibarre A. A. aud the
Danville Old Timers at the Armory
Monday afternoon Both teams play
ed good ball, aud the game was fast
and Interesting.
Ttie Witkesbarre A A. team, which
was a mixture of Wilkesbarre aud
Bloomsburg players, put up a strong
although very rough game, their
strength being in their clever team
work and passiug. They were weak,
however,iu looating the basket. There
were times too numerous to count,
when by their fine pas dog they got
excellent chanaes for goals, but nearlv
every time the ball went wide of the
mark. The visitors had 5 tries for
goal from foul, aud tallied 5 misses.
The playing of the Old Timers was
very good both as to passing aud goal
throwing. The goals by Gaskins, both
from fouls aud from the field were
brilliant and sensational, aud tallied
14 oat of Danville's 21 poiotn.
The la*t half of the game was partly
spoiled ly the darkness of the hall.

Public School Primary Class.
The public schools opened Tuesday
after the Christmas vacation, and the
usual number of school children were
seen trooping to and from their studies
during the day.
With the beginnning of the New
Year the children, who.during the re
mainder of the term will reach the
age of six years, are admitted to the
public schools. While the law does
not allow a child to enter the schools
before the age of six, it does allow tlie
child to attend school just as soon as
that a*e has been reached; so if no
steps were taken to prevent it, chil
dren would be entering the classes in
the primary department promiscuou-ly
doring the whole year, retarding, nor
only the work of those already enter
ed, but aho hindering their own ad
vancement.
It his therefore been the custom in
former years to allow all the children
to filter the class in the primary de
partment at the end of the Ghri-tuias
vacation, who will, before June l«t.
arrive at the age of six years. Hy this
plan their classification is greatly sim
plified.
A certificate of successful vaccina
tion is required before ohldren are ad
mitted to the public schools.
Ferry to be Brought Back.
Unless the weather gets extremely
cold and freezes the river over again,
the ferry boat which went airi*ft dur
ing the ice flood, will be brought hack
here within the next few days and put
in operation.
The Northumberland County Com
missioners have relieved the M mtour
County board of the work of returning
the boat by agieeinn to have the flat
brought back.
On Monday the Northumberland
County Commissioners telephoned that
they could have the boat sent up the
river for a certain sum of money, and
asked for instructions in tin matter.
The Montonr County Commissioners
iu reply told them to use their own
judgment relative to the expense, and
that they would willingly concur In
all that timy did.
BMW OB
HILL STREET
A ruuaway occurred oa Mill street
just before noon Saturday morning
that caused a great deal of excitement
and was quite serioua in its results.
The delivery horse aud wagon belong
ing to Thomas Tooey were the oeutral
figures of the incident.
Mr. Tooey was delivering groceries
in Montour Row While ha was in
one of the houses a small boy pulled
the reins, and the horse started up the
street. There being no one iu the wag
on to drive he soon beoame frightened
and started to run. The flapping of
ther harness and the careening wagon
further terrified the animal until his
course became a wild rush to get away
from the maddening sounds of the
wagon behind.
Near Cleaver's store the runaway
struck the wagon belonging to Lloyd
Bomboy of West Hemlock township,
but glauced off without doing serious
danger. At the Hotel Oliver was
Daniel Shultz's bus. This was also
struck but again no great damage was
done.
The horse turned down the alley at
the Hotel Oliver on a gallop, throw
ing the wagon on the pavement in
front of Smith's Jewelry store and
tearing off the front wheels. Continu
ing tiis headlong speed the horse dash
ed into the stable in the rear of the
Oliver where he is kept. The animal
entered the oarriage room at high
speed. Harvey Lamberson had just
finished unhitching Dr. Reed's horse
when the ruuaway dallied into the al
ley. He had just time enough to draw
the buggy to one side when the horse
came through the barn, drawing the
broken wagon behind. The animal
tried to pass into the stall room, but
the door was not wida enough to ad
mit the wagon; so he stripped himself
of the harness, aud went, of his own
accord, to his stall aud stopped.
The wagon was almost a complete
wreck The horse, however, is not
everely hurt, several cuts upon the
legs being the extent of his injuries.
A Mule Hospital.
The Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron Company lias about decided
to purchase a farm in the country dis
trict beyond Fountain Springi for the
purpose of establishing a veterinary
hospital to care for the equine stock
that may be ill, or injured in the
mines
It is also the purpose to establish a
general m :lo yard there from whioh
to ship out to the collieries the males
that are brought in from the we«t
The hospital will be one of the first
of its kind iu the coal region,ami will
be ia charge of Dr. I. C Newhard,
chief veterinarian for the company,
aud who has long some such
institution.
It is expected that everything will
be iu readiuess to complete the plaus
iu the early spring.
Says He Killed the Man.
Wiliiam Copenhaver, thirty-seven
years old, a well-known lesidetit of
Mt. Carmel, and a former secretary of
the Mt. Carmel Township School
Board, went before 'Squire Gallagher
yesterday inorniiiK and marie a state
ment that he was the man who murd
ered the Italian who was found dead
at Hickory Ridge, a few weeks ago.
In his statement he implicated a num
ber of Mt. Carmel's most prominent
citizens, claiming that they were his
accomplices iu that fearful tragedy.
Copenhaver was locked up and Judge
Auten and District Attorney Cum
niiugs were at once notified. An in
vestigation will be made into the man's
sanity, as it is supposed that his rea
son ha« suddenly been dethroned and
has taken this aulooked for trend.
Priest's Tribute to Stork.
The Rev. Father Flanagan rector of
St. Joseph's Catholic Church,at Road
ing, issued a monthly paper to tha
members of his congregation, and in a
New Year's greeting says:
"The stork has been very good to
the people of St. Joseph's the past
year. During 1904 that bird of destiny
visited the homes of forty-one of our
people,and in each visit brought a real
live chubby doll, one that can open
aud shut its eyes, as well as keep the
eyes of others open, aud can eat and
cry and shake fat little fists. Come
again aud ofteu, thou dear, good aud
radiaut old bird."

Graduation Dresses.
The school authorities of Pottstown
have resolved to prevent jealousies and
heartburnings that may occur among
school girls at the time of graduation,
bv issuing an edict that the graduat
ing dress of none of the girl pupils in
the high school of that town shall cost
more than three dollars. The reason
given for the rule is that if the girls
who can afford to do so, gradnate in
gowns made of expensive materials
and embellished with costly ribbons
and lace«, the poor girls are placed at
a disadvantage aud humiliated.
There is something in this view of
the case, but probably not so much as
is seen by those who would kindly
protect the poor girls from having
their feelings hurt. After all it is
worth aud merit, and not dress and
jewelry, that achieve the greatest
tr'umphs on graduation occasions. The
poorest girl, in ueat but not costly ap
parel, if she be the best scholar, will
get more applause and secure more
merited admiration on such occasions
than the richest with all her fiuery, if
she makes a poor exhibit as a scholar:
and besides, the former w'll be more
admired by her classmates whose opin
ions are worth something.
However, it is well that lavish ex
pense in graduating dresses should not
be encouraged, though it is question
able whether it is withiu the province
of school boards to enforce sumptuary
measures on that subject. At all
events the girls in the plain dresses,
whose nnnds are full of knowledge
and whose hearts are not affected by
petty jealousy, need no protection
from humiliation caused by the finer
apparel of other graduates. Thbir self
respect and consciousness of merit are
their protection.
Definite News of lingerie.
Definite news of the engine and dyn
amo to be used by tlie municipal light
plant has been received in this city.
The representative of the Rumsey
Electrical Company lias been notified
that tlie engine was shipped from
Watertown. N. Y.. on December 28th.
It is thought that it will reach Dan
ville iu aboot a week.
Before the engiue was shipped the
shaft was sent to the Warren Electriral
Company at Sandusky, Ohio, to to fit
ted on ttie dynamo. The dynamo and
switch board are all ready to forward
and as soon as the shaft of the engico
is fitted the electrical apparatus will

to this city.
Plunged to his Death.
NEW YORK, Jan. 4. —ln eight of
scores of persons waiting for trains at
the Bleeker street elevated station to
day a man, believed to be Samuel
Harris, a traveling salesman from
Hummolstown, Pa , was ground to
death undar a train which ho was
about to board. The station platform
was covered with a coating of fro/.< 11
sleet, and Harris, who had been walk
ing up and down waiting for the
train, slipped and plunged directly in
front of it as it rolled into the sta
tion.
DANVILLE 45
PITTSTON 33
Before one of the largest crowds of
the season the Danville team won a
fast and well played game of Basket
Hall from Pittston, at the Armory,
Saturday evening.
The first half was Danville's and
ended with the score standing 23 to 11
in of the locals. A change In
the line-up for the second half placed
the game in jeopardy so far as the
homo team was concerned, and the
lead of 12 poiuts at the «nd of trie first
half, was spee lily reduced to only 6
poiuts, and it was plainly evident that
uuless something was done to stem the
tide, the visitors would win out.
Bedea was compelled to retire on ac
count of illness, and Barber who had
voluntarily retired at the end of the
first half was again brought into the
iiaiue and therein lias the secret of
Danville's victory as Barber succeed
ed in landing four goals from the field
iu a very short space of time.
That team work is as essential In
basket ball as iu base ball, the wonder
is that the management will make a
change in the line-up of a Basket Ball
team for the second half when the
players used in the first half, have so
clearly demonstrated their ability to
rope with tlie visiting team as was the
case ou Saturday night. The game
wa?, however, a good one, and both
t aams gave a fine exhibition of passing
the ball,blocking attempts at goal,and
sensational goal throwing. The line
up:

••A Ragged Hero."
The successful play, "A Ragged
Hero," iu which the favorite com
edian, Georgo F. Hall, will have a
new role, and which is announced to
appear in Danville on next Saturday
night, is claimed to be doubly pleas
ing in that it contains the elements
both of rural comedy and exciting
melodrama. The characters, with a
few exceptions, are country folk, and
their amu-iiiK characteristics are pleas-
Ija
iugly portrayed. The means for a
startling climax are found in the door
yard of the old homestead. A lit tie
girl is sleeping iu an upper room of
the building and her profligate half
brother, in order to benefit by l*er
death, sets the place on fire. The rag
ged hero, who has retired for the night
in an adjoining barn.hears the child's
cries for help, seizes a swing which
hangs in the center of the yard,clamb
ers upon a nearby shed, sweeps across,
the yard and up to the window, when
the child springs towards him and is
borne to safety.

Take Fictitious Names.
Many letters are receivod at the Sha
mokiu post offlca every mintli that
never reach the persom to whom they
are addressed for a very pccaliar rea
son.
The letters are from the war deput
ment of the Austrian government and
are notification to citizens of Emperor
Franz Josef, that the time for them to
do service in the army has arrived and
that they are expected to report for
dutv.
The letters are seldom taken out of
the postofßce. The men for whom they
a r e destined when the reach this coun
try change their names.
If they do not receive the official
notice they cannot upot tfieir return
to Austria, be punished for evading
military duty, and as the letters are
smt back to the Austrian government
there is a record of the fact that the
military notification has not beeu
properly made.
It is said that one-third of the young
mou wl(o come to this country from
Austria change their names for the
pjr|.Or.e of evading the receipts of the
military notice.

TALEGRAPHIG
EXAGGERATION
The enterprising parties who tele
graph items of news from the country
districts to the oity dailies are fre
quently required to draw heavily on
their imaginations for the stuff they
have to communicate, for which they
are paid according to space. It is easy
to see their motive for the enlargemenj
and embellishment of the facts. Some
of the statements they may be in
teresting to readers unacquainted with
the circumstances, but decidedly as
tonishing to those who know the ex
act details.
A specimen of this kind of news sent
to the Philadelphia papers was furnish
ed by the case of a young man at
Herndon who was represented as hav
ing been skating on the river at that
place last week when the ice broke up
and miraculously escaped death by
mounting a hngh cake of ice aud pilot
ing himself to a lonely island in the
middle of the river, where he spent
the night without shelter or flre, a
prey to the wiutry elements. His
friends were unable togo to his res
cue until the next morning, and when
they succeeded in lauding him on shore
he was in a precarious condition, he
having collapsed under the strain of
his hazardous adventure.
Now the truth is that there was no
danger connected with the young
mau's getting on the island when the
Ice broke—uo occasion for his getting
astride of an ice cake and piloting
himself to laud. The iblaud where he
was forced to pass the night was
neither lonely nor uninhabited. There
was a tenement house on it where the
temporarily imprisoned skater spent
the night comfortably—presumably in
a feather bed—after haviug a hearty
supper, with a breakfast of buckwheat
cakes and sausage in the morning pre
vious to recrossing the river to the
main land without danger from the
ice whioli had floated off.
The telegraphic corespondent tried j
to make all he could out of the Hern
don incident, bat the young man who 1
WAR made the subject of the thrilling
telegram can be congratulated on es
caping the perils with which the cor
respondent found it recessray to pad
his statement in order to make a spicy
and profitable news item.

The Business Man. Too busy. You
have but to take your choice between
fifteen minutes a day now or fifteen
weeks or months by and by- Which.

gThe .Vau Who Uses His Muscles
You need Qther exercise than that
which you obtain from your work-
Why Your work is mechanical —you
use the sarao set of muscles all the time
and in the same way aud as a result
the muscles you use become strong at
the expense of those you do uot use,
causing them to grow weaker.
The Professional Mau.—You need a
healthful body to have a strong, ac
tive mind. How can you have a sound
miud id body with a poor circulation,
its lung tissue weak for want of air
and exerioise.its stomach always com
plaining, the bowels clogged with
waste matter and the liver sluggish
and torpid? Yoa might as well try to
find pure, fresh drinking water in a
Hewer, as to find a good, clear-working
mind in such a body. Regular syste
matic exercise is what you need. \ou

Deserted Church.
Surrounded by shade trees stands a
deserted church in the village of Seven
Points, and arrangements are now un
der way to sell the edifice and convert
it into dwelling houses.
Up to the time of the Dubbs-Ksher
feud among the Evangelical church
followers, this house of worship al ways
boasted of a large congregation and it
was a prosperous parish.
Over two-thirds of the congregation
left the church and built a uew edifice
on the opposite side of the road. The
remaining few membors kept up wor
ship until one by one they moved from
the village and finally not a member
was left. The church doors were lock
ed and now the Evangelical Associa
tion, who owns the property, by the
decision of the courts, has decided to
sell the property. Rev. Kregs, pastor
of St. John's Evangelical church, o

TALIANS WANTED
THEIR MONEY
About teu days ago, the Polish Li
thuanian Brewing Company, before
Justice of the Peace Oglesby, brought
action against Charles Battaglia foi
goods sold and delivered him. On
Judgment being had an attachment
was issued, attaching money in tlie
hands of Sweigard & Company, garn
ishee, contractors for the sewer in the
course of construction at the Asylum.
The money attached was presumed to
be due Battaglia for goods aud mer
chandise furnished the laboiers, which,
by agreement between the parties,
was to be held out of the wages of Swei
gard's employes. The matter will be
disposed of next Friday.
The above transaction did not reach
the ears of the Italians employed by
Sweigard & Company until Saturday,
when they appeared before the con
tractors with the expectation of draw
iag their two weeks pay. When it was I
refused on the ground that an attach- 1
meut restrained their employers from
paying the'money rtuo them, they be
came enraged and hurried to town to
start proceedings agaiust Sweigard &
Company in order to recover the
amount that each was entitled to.
About twenty of them gathered in the
office of 'Squire Dalton, and in broken
language tried to make clear their
troubles to the attentive but dumb
founded magistrate. They all talked
at once, chattering like a lot of mag
pies aud in a manner that was difficult
to make head or tail of. Finally,
though, sufficient was gleaned to give
the justice a knowledge of what they
wanted. They wanted their w»ges and
they demanded that action be com
menced at once. After hangiug out
determinedly for a while, they decid
ed to take the advice of Attorney Welsh
and await tlie disposal of the action

Assistant Firemen.
The talk is going the rounds iu rail
road circles that it will be but a short
time ontil tire Pennsylvania Railroad
Company will inaugurate a new sys
tem by appointing and placing assist
ant firemen on all the different divi
sions. It is said that this will lifeely
have to be done owing to the scarcity
of firemen.
Owing to brakemen not desiring to
become firemen it has become a diffi
cult problem to secure men to fill this
position and for some length of time
the compauy has been forced to hire
any able-bodied man who presented
himself as an applicant for the posi
tion. Due to this fact many inexper
ienced men have been hired with the
result that numeroas troubles have
been encountered iu making trips over
the different divisions.

BIG ATTENDANCE
AT THE 1. C. A.
During the Holiday season, the Y.

which were extended to them. M;»ny
of those who came were members from

ary terms of tlie work being done here,
assuring the members of the Danvi le
Association thf.t their building :«nd
equipment tfa-i not behind any citv of
its size in the various departments of
work for men and boys.
Extra efforts were put forth ton a'.e
the building comfortable in every wav.
not only by keeping it warm and pli as
ant, but by putting every part of the
work in good running order for the
Holidays, so that it would prove a
most delightful place to spend the
| time. That the efforts of the Asso ia
tion, (through its paid officers and
members), ptoved successful, was
evidenced by the large crowds which
visited the building every day,to ni;»ke
use of the privileges. There were in ti
and boys in every part of the build ug,
—some in the game room, others HI
the parlor, still others in the readi A
rooms, and mauy in the gymnasium,
to say nothing of the great numbers
who made use of the baths.

The Christmas Tree.
Just now there is an outcry again t
the destruction of prospective for«- ■»
caused by the cutting of Christm s
trees. Hundreds of thousands of youi x
spruce, balsam and hemlock trees an
nually are sactificei iu the Christmas
trade, audit is alleged needlessly. A
! couple of days ago Professor Gilford
Piuchor, the government forester, was
asked how m iny trees were cut down
every year to be trimmed and decoiat
ed for voang Ameiicaus. He replied:
"No doubt many hundreds of thous
ands of young trees are used for this
( purpose every Christmas. But don't
I you worry about the 10->es sustaiued
1 by our forests from this enuse. That
is not a drop in the bucket compared
! witli the destruction of larger and
more valuable trees for other purp >ees.
An acre of laud will produce several
1 thousand spruce trees of the kind tlmt
are used for Christmas decoration. But
' the great dinger we must guar!
agtiust, if the forests of the couutr/
are not to ba totallv wiped out, is tin
' reckless cutting of timber for coni
' mercial purposes. For instance, 120.-
" 000,000 new railroad ties are laid down
1 in the United States every year. Th.it
represents the destruction of at lea.-t
' 75,000,000 trees every 12 months for
that purpose aloue. More millions cf
trees are cut down annually to male
telegraph aud telephone poles. Hut
with proper care our foiesis can fur
i tiisli all this timber without being x
hansted. Everything dtp nds on »ho
i adoption of systematic cutting pi .tu
by which certiin trees m»y be saved,
I others cut and new ones pi lute i."
