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. The line-up: Wilkesbarre A. A. Old Timers Appleman forward Bedea McOahe forward.

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." New Year's Surprise Party.

Owing to the latter being in masquerade, tlio judges could only award the various prizes by their ap pearance or the name of that they rep resented. The list follows, and where it is possible the names of those who won prizes are given. Where names do not appear, is because of the inability of the committee to give them out last night: First, old soldier, Elmer Rudy; second, hunter, Charles John ston ; third, two minstrels and two clown®; 4th,, man up sid-i down, John HolHster; fifth, Indian on horseback, Mr. Prentiss; sixth, Uncle Sam, E.

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 be sent. The arc lights are on the road 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: Danville. Pittston. S. J.

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.

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.

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.

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.
