IT WAS 4
LO W Si!
A correspondent furnishes the paper
with a story of an adventure with
which Joseph R. Kimble and H. O.
Moore, of Rushtown, met recently.
The former had employed the latter to
help butcher a beef.au animal of rath
er vicious disposition as the sequel
will disclose.
When everything was ready for the
slaughter, the men entered the bam
yard. This is enclosed by a high board
fence, ou the outside of which a load
ed sun was left standing by mistake.
The stable door was opened, and the
"Stub Horned Jersey" allowed to
cross the threshold oot into the yard.
He seamed qaiet and docile, ami gave
□o indications that lie was going to
creat» a disturbance. Nor did he dis
play any vindictiveness until one of
Ihe men started in the direction of the
gan. Whether he suspected the use to
which the weapon wan to be pot and
decided to sell his life dearly, ran not
be vouched for. However, hi* move
ments would suggest that he had
thoughts of that kind on his mind dur
ing the next few moments. Suddenly
lowering his head lie made a plunge
in the direction of Mr. Kimble. In
trying to escape the infuriated animal
by running around a straw stack, Mr.
Kimble fell and before he could regain
his feet the brute was upon him. n n ~
iug and tosxiug him against the straw
■tack.
Mr. Moore rushed to lar. Kimble's
assistance, and aucoeded with a piece
of rail in driving the -teer away from
the letter. Then came a race and a
fight t r life. The animal renewed the
attacK, aud while rauning around and
arouud the straw stack, the men kept
the enrag. d steer from reaching them
by striking him over the head with
clubs. Dunns the exciting chase when
one of the men fell, the other renewed
his efforts and kept the steer from gor
ing the fallen man. In that manner
the race oontlnued for fully 15 min
utes, at the expiration of which time
Mr. Moore succeeded in getting liuld
of the rope that was fasteued to the
animal's horns. After snubbing the
rope around a post, Moore ran to get
the gun which Mrs. Kimble was hand
ing over the fence. Just after he had
■ecared the weapon the animal suc
ceeded in breaking loose. He again
roihed at Mr. Moore. The later was
iu a predicament and to get out of it,
required prompt action. The fence was
too high to scale, and the steer too
close upon him to think of running. It
was a case of shoot quick,and shoot to
kill. Throwing the gun to his shoulder
he took a harried aim and fired. The
bullet went home, the animal falling
dead in its tracks.
Both men were nearly exhausted,but
with the exception of bruises and torn
clothes escaped injury. After the ex
oitraeut had calmed down, Mr. Kim
ble took a knife and cut the animal's
throat.

TROLLEY ROAD
FINAL SURVEY
The High Point and Winston-Salem
Railroad Company, in which J. 11.
Ooleman, Isaiah Hageubuch and O. C.
Yetter, of Bloomsburg and Dr. I. R.
Wolfe, Espy, and W. A. Heller and O.
P. Hancock, of Danville, are interest
ed, together with a number of Phila
delphia financiers,is now financed and
the road will be con't'nction i"
less than sixty days.
The road when completed will be 42
mil' Bin length and will web a terri
tory of 85,000 population, working
throogh the greatest tobacco center of
the world. The branch of the road up
on which the work of construction
w ill at once start is 18 miles in length
connecting the towns of Winston-Salem
and High Point, North Carolina,there
by connecting by trolley 8 large towns.
The road is to be built as a steam rail
road and will handle freight as well
as passengers, opening up a rich ter
ritory that heretofore ha* not had the
facilities of a trolley line. The en
gineer corps,consisting of W. H. Star,
and Geo. F. Klase, of Danville, and
Clark Hagenbuch, of Bloomsburg, are
now making the final survey.
The Winston-Salem Journal says:
"The Board of Trade of this city ap
proved the enterprise some two months
ago; guaranteed the furnishing of
money necessary, together with the
cities of High Point and Greensboro,
and the special bill was passed by
State Senate yesterday authorizing the
! issuing of city bonds to take those of
the trolley compauy. This makts the
road an assured fact. The Northern
party,consisting of S. A. Drake,R. H.
and R. A. Wheeler, W. A. Heller, and
their attorney, C. O Yetter, visited
our city and were with as ten days in
December, and arranged all matttrs,
provided our cities raise the required
amount of money, which has been
done."
Practically the same persons are in
terested in the Danville and Sunbury
Street Railway Company and the con
struction of tl.is road will start with
the laying of rails in the Danviile and
Riverside bridge, it being tlio inten
tion of the company to have its road
in operation from the Hospital to Riv
erside and DeWitt's Park for the -um
mer season. Following that the coni
• pletion of the line to Sunbury will be
pushpd as rapidly as possible—Blooms

BR SI BUSINESS
! Pi MERCHANTS
Yesterday was a busy one for the
merchants of Danville. They did a
| larger business than at any other time
i since the holidays. Stores of every de
scription, were well filled with custom
ers from the time they were opened
! iu the morning until late in the after
noon. Groceries, hardware and de
[ parMu"nt stores, alike, enjoyed an ex
i tensive trade.
What was the reason of such a sud
den boom? The reader may ask.
"Because of the unusually large
number of outsiders in town, " is the
reply.
| The natural bridge did it. More peo
ple visited town yesterday, than at
any one time since the break-up in the
river a month ago. An 1 they didn't
' all come from Riverside either, al
| though there were vast numbers from
; that place. They came over iu groups
and purchased from the merchants
what they were in need of; in many
instances, considerably more. Not
knowing how long the present bridge 1
would be passable,or when they might !
have another opportunity of coming to |
I Danville,they invested heavily in sup- j
' plies. Ol t e many that went across |
the ice in the direction of South Dan- j
i ville yesterday afternoon and evening, .
few, indeed, were without a bundle !
or large basket, and tome were burd- j
em d with both.
Among the throng were many farm
ers and their families. They had not j
had a favorable opportunity to cross (
the river to Danville for many weeks, •
! and availing themselves of the present
jon • they came from many sections in j
j Northumberland county Leaving their
I teams on the South side, they walked
acro-s the ice,and after purchasing ex-
| tensively from the merchants, return
e I iu the same manner.
I Today will very likely be a repetition
•of yesterday. And every day there- j
after as long as the ie remains, with
! the exception that business will be still
| better when the natural bridge he
roines strong enough to carry teams,
j The activity inaugurated by the river
freezing over, speaks volumes of the
need of the new bridge. Every d y
that the river can't be crossed aggre-
gates a loss of thousands of dollars to
Danville. Through it the business of
the merchants in this city has been
greatly injured. The amouut of money
i they have failed to realize ou account
!of South side people being unable to
■ get to town to transact business with
them, would nearly if not altogether,
have paid for tho buildiug of the
budge.

Mrs. Edward E. Lunger,of 11 Church
St..says: "1 still think a great deal
ot Doan's Kidney Pills. I would not
think of being without them in the
house. I made a statement for pub- j

any to ngiet miking that state
ment, and now oter eight years after
wiirds, 1 can reiterate the statement.
! B'-fi r.' taking this remedy I suffered
for months with backache and lam*-
: ins- and soreness in the back. The
pain over my hips was continuous and
when ou my fiet it was one steady
gnawing ache. It hurt me to do any
thing requiring a bending position,
sharp twinges would catch me so sud
j deuly th it 1 had to brace myself until
they stopped. The kiduev secretions
annoyed me and I often suffered from
| headaches. I read statements giveu by
people in this vicinity who had used
Doan's Kidney Pills and concluded to
I try them. They did me more good
th in auv other modicino I ever tried.
After a few doses 1 no longer experi
' euced such severe pain and finally the
piiu was removed entirely. The an

CONDITION OF
TBfe RIVER
With the exception of being some
what stronger than on tiie previous
day, owing to the continued freezing
weather on Sunday night, thete were
but little changes in the condition of
tlie |river Monday. The foot passage
was well used, and in consequence a
fairly well beaten path now spans the
stream. There was less danger in cross
ing. and consequently people were not
under ttie necessity of using as ninch
caution as they were on Sunday.
As yet the ice is not solid enough
for teams to cross upon with safety.
William Mettler, of Sooth Dauvilln,
drove over j»ud back Monday after
noon, but he took a gro»t risk in do
ing so. On his trip from the South
to the North side he encountered con
siderable trouble. He attempted to
drive between two air holes and the
ice sauk until the water rau over to
the deptli of several inches. That
caused him to make a long route up
the river and hack to the ferry land
ing. He followed the same route on
his return trip, and readied the other
shore with apparent ease. Mr Mettler
was the first to cross in a vehicle when
the river froze over in December.
A few air holes are still visible,and
the strong enrreut lias cut a broad
channel through the ice between the
North abutment and first pier. This
extends from a short distance above
the bridge to a point below the water
works, and the water flows through it
with great swiftness.
The clear, smooth ice on the South
side of the river, affords the b -st skat
ing of the season, and lovers of that
sport are taking advantage of it.

George W. Getty.of Catawissa town- |

and grave doubts of his recoveiy are
entertained.
Mr. Getty, who is a man now well
on in years,and who has grandchildren
and great-graudchildreu ui large num
bers, is well known throughout this
section by reason of the number of his
children,some of whom an- themselves J
grandfathers, even though G' tty's
youngest child is not more than three
years of age.
He is a well known farmer and has .
been twice married. Twenty of the '
twenty-eight children are living and a
number of them have largo families as ,
well. While some of his offspring have
gone to other states a number reside :
ne-»r the parental home on faims of
their own.
The story is told that at one time
there was a good uatured rivalry ex- j
istiug between Mr. Getty and another
South Sider. The latter was the fatli- ;
er of twenty-five children and then no j
more entries in the family Bibl*j were
made.
Mr. Getty is a man who enjoys the

INTERESTING TEH
ON CHINA
Mrs. Hoy, a returned missionary
from Oh ina, addressed a large congreg
ation at *Shiloh Reformed church
Sunday morning. Mis Hoy is the wife
of the Rev. William Hoy, both of
whom have been engaged in foreign
mission fields for nearly twenty years.
For fifteen years they were stationed
in Japan, but in 11)03 they were trans
fern d by the mission of the Reformed
church to Yochow, Hanan, China,
wh. ro they have since been laboring
Recently Mrs. Hoy returned to
America with her children for the pur
pose of having them educated in this
country. They are now at schools in
Lancaster city,and the mother expects
to reuiaiu with them for several years.
Saturday Mr. Hoy sailed from China
for the United States to visit his fam
ily and native country.
Mrs. Hoy gave an interesting and
instructive talk. She was dressed in
Chinese costume, and exhibited and
explained a large number of curios she
had brought home with her. She spoke
fir-<t of the social customs and manner
of the Chinese, describing their oddi
tiis and peculiar characteristics, and
then referred at length to her own ex
perience among that people, showing
how souls wore saved for Jesus and the
great need of more missionaries iu
that field. While showing an instru
ment with which Chinese children's
feet are bound for the purpose of keep
ing them from growing, Mrs. Hoy re
lated a touching story concerning that
cruelty. She had frequently heard
children screaming with agony when
their mothers and grandmothers were
tightening the instrument of torture
about their little feet. Their cries of
distress were pitiful to hear, and the
speaker had often been pained when
compelled to listen to them while pass
ing along the streets. The foot bind
ers are drawn so tightly that nearly
all the blood is kept from passing
through the veins of the feet. What
little there is must, be kept in circula
tion, or tiie limbs of the child will de
cay and drop off at the knees. To keep
the circulation up the child is com
pelled to walk, and if on account ot
the pain and agouy it is enduring it re
fuses to obey,the parents resort to more
cruelty. They stick pins and other
sharp pointed things in the child's leg
and compel it to keep moving around
on its shackled feet.
Tho Chinese are very inquisitive aud
| their superstition is beyond descrip
| tion. Their method of greeting each
j other is very peculiar. The women iu-
I st«ad of shaking another person's hand,
will clasp their own hands tight
ly together and rub them up and down
1 the left side of their wai-ts several
times. The men clasp both hands in
1 trout of them, sh-tke thair arms from
side to side once or twice and then
raise them high above their heads. Af
ter that aud without unclasping their
hands,they how down until their heads
almost come in contact with whatever
I they are standing on. The higher the
hands are raised and the lower the
! bow, the more distinguished is the
I pet son to whom the greeting is being
i extended.
When a Chinese enters a house oc
cupied by some foreigner, he goiug to
learn the nam ct everything in it and
: the use made of each article. He will
open the stove door, aud ask how the
fitu got there. He will open cupboards
and question the owner the name of
everything iu them. Not being in pos
, session of ornaments of their own,they
take delight in inspecting those in the
homes of the missionaries.
Th ir superstition is without limit.
Among the curios Mrs. Hoy showed
was a stick about 18 inches in length,
one eud of which was covered witli
long white hair. When China is visit
ed by a drought, a famine or a contag
ious disease the priests march through
the streets aud wave the stick in front
of them, for the purpose of driviug
I away the evil spirits that has caused
the trouble.

Will Not be Tolerated.
Saturday evening, the Danville and
Bloomsburg trolley company did a
rushing business. Cars in both direc
tions wire crowded. Everything went
gmoothl/ nutil the last car was en
route from Bloomsburg to Danville,
1 then a disturbance took place.
Between Bloomsburg and Grovania
an altercation was started between
some of the passengers that threatened
to cause troublo ritjht there, but it
1 soon quieted clown. After passing the
latter piece, however, the disturbance
was renewed, and for a while matters
looked serious to the ueacefully dis
posed pissengerson the car. Loud,
1 boisterous language was indulged in
aud only the prompt action of cooler
i lie-ids prevented a general riot aud,
! doubtless,some broken heads,in which
the innocent, likely, would have had
to suffer with the guilty.
The company is determined that Sat
uiday night's disturbance shall not be
repeated. It will not tolerate any such
actions. A corps of officers will be in
waiting to nab the violators when the
car stops. Whether that will occur at
Danville or Bloomsburg will depend
upon which way the car is going when
tho tioub!e occurs. "A word to the
wise should be sufficient."

FIRE AT THE
GILL ASP If HOUSE
The toilet room on the tirstj,floor of
the Giliaspy House, was slightly dam
aged by fire, Sunday morning. The
blaze was discovered at about 10
o'clock. A few minutes later and the
entire interior of the room would have
been wrapped in flames, and spreading
to other portions of the building,
would likelv have caused a serious
conflagration.
The toilet room is at the rear of the
bar room, aud all entrances to the lat
ter were closed ou account of Sunday.
Men seated in the office, were aroused
to the situation of affairs by the smell
of burning wood and the sight of smoke
issuing through cracks under the bar
room doors. unable to gain an
entrarce they called upstairs to Mr.
Gillaspy, informing him that the bar
room was on fire. When the latter
opened a door leading into the bar
room he was met by a cloud of smoke
that nearly drove every guest from the
building. It waa too dense to see iu
to the room and too suffocating to ven
ture into,until the greater portion had
made its escape through the wiudows
aud doors which had been hurriedly
opened. When the barroom was suf
ficiently clear for au observation to be
taken, it was quickly discovered that
the blaze was not in that apartment,
but iu the toilet room. The fire was
under the long wash stand on the
uorth side of the room,and when locat
ei had eaten its way nearly through
the wainscoting aud a small portion
of the floor. It was burir.ng briskly
and iu a little while would have com
municated with the joist and uprights
of the buiiding, where on accouut of
the narrow space of the closet and
passageways leading thereto, it would
have been hard to fight had it once got
ten rightly started.
By hard work on the part of Mr.
Gillaspy aud the men who sounded
the alarm, the blaze was finallv
quenched with the aid of buckets and
a small garden hose. Several of tin
fire companies responded to an alarm,
but were not required togo into ser
vice. The damages were slight.

Death of Rabbi flayer,
The Rev. Adolph Mayer, formerly
pastor of the Benai Zion congregation
of this city, died Friday morning at
the home of his sou, the Rev. Eli
Mayer, 263 Berkley street, Philadel
phia.
Rabbi Mayer was 61 years of age,aud
was a native of Germany. He came to
this country iu early life. His resi
dence in Dinville covered a period of
thirteen years, and during that time
his happy disposition won him a host
of friends who will learn of his death
with much regret.
Last February the Rev. Mr. Mayer
was compelled to resign as pastor of
Btmai Ziou congregation on account
of ill health. He spent most of the
past year iu Baltimore. His condition
gradually grew worse and a corn plica
tion of diseases developed a few months
ago.

The first rural deliverv routi was
started iu 1897, under President Mc-
Kinlev, as au experiment. The tre
mendous success of the method has bceu
unexainpied. However, it must not be
assumed that this is a Yankee inven
tion. It has been used in European
countries for many years,and iu Great
Britain it has been extended that there
is hardly a district so remote that the
carrier does not visit it at least ouce a
day. The system was established iu
the British Isles long before it was
begun in the United States.
Iu its first year in ttie Unite! States
forty-four rural mail routes were es
tablished, at a cost off 40,000. The en
ormous success of the method is shown
by the fact that for the fiscal year end
ed June 30, 1904, nearly thirty million
dollars were paid out ou rural free de
livery account For the fiscal year up
on which we have now entered, $20,-
816,600 have beeu appropratert for the
continuance and extension of the rural
mail service. There were 24,666 rural
routes in existence at tho end of the
fiscal year on June SO last; 9,446 new
routes have been put into operation
during the fiscal year. On October 1
1904, there were 27,135 routes establish
ed, and the service was being extended
at the rate of about 800 a month.

FIT AUGUSTA
Few people perhaps are aware of the
rich historical interest that ceutei.-
around a number of points iu this sta
tion of the Susquehanna Valley. Fi 1-
lowmg the course of the river, many
1 laces can be pointed out that figur- d
1 roraineutly iu the early history of the
State, notable among theso is the site
of old Fort Augusta near Sunbury.
The forti .cation was erected by the
proprietary authorities in 175t! tor the
purpose of affording protection to the
frontier settlements and friendly li
dians against the inroads of French
aud Indians, who had begun to woib
havoc iu the State after Braddock's
defeat in 1755. As a strat gi< point
in Indian warfare,its location was ex
cellent. Situated at the coullueuce of
the two branches of the river, it com
uianded a view of the country lor miles
iu every quarter that ho.-tile parties
could approach. No heavy fighting was
done here. The strength of the post
prevented a number of attacks that
had been planned against it, but for
over a quarter of a century the farm
ers of wliat are now Montour, North
umberland, Union aud Snyder counties
tied to the fort for protection with
their families aud live stock, when re
ports that scalping ptrties of Indians
were in the vicinity werj brought to
the settlements. It frequently j,„p.
pended that these settlers were oblig
ed to remain here for months, in tents
pitched ou the ievei country around
the fort, aud go out in small partus
to work their fields.
Little of the old fortification remaius.
Tiie magazine, the well and the com
mandant's mansion are still intact
For a long time the place was neglect
ed. The mansion, fatuiliaily known
as the "spook house"was ths abode
of tramps for years, and the inside
casing of the magazine was partially
torn out to make a foundation for a
stable. A few years ago, the property
was buuglit by Mrs. Amelia Gross, an
English woman. It now serves her as
one of the most handsome residences
in Sunbury. She has picked up a nnm
b r of curious relics of the place and
arrauged them iu conspicuous places
about her apartments. The interested
vaiior is cordially received and en
tertained at length by splendid descrip
tions of the fortress and the collection
of relics. The universal question with
all who have seen the place is, "Why
is not this historic old spot owned by
the Stater" Steps have been taken iu
that direction, but for lack of concert
ed action,nothing h is been done. Hon.
R.S. Amrnermau expressed Inmelfs mie
