MASKED II INVADE HOTEL LAHDLORD WALKER SHOT IN HEAD Daring Attempt at Robbery on Monday Night —David Barrett Held for Court in #2OOO Hail —lldward Haldeman Held in SIOO0 —Hearing Last Night. Just before midnight Monday East Market street in the Second Ward was the scene of a good hit of esoiteuieut, in which liie arms played a prominent part,that was not apart of the Fourth of July program. About half past 11 o'clock as W. H. N. Walker was in the act of closing his hotel for the night the bar room was entered by three masked men, who proceedetl to hold up the inmates for the purpose of robbery. Arthur Walker was standing behind the bar, while his father, W. 11. N. Walker, the proprietor, was in the room adjoining, at the rear. One of the men sprang behind the bar and leveling a revolver in the face of Arthur Walker, commanded him not to utter a word aud at the same time giving a sharp command to his confed erates : "I'll attend to him, look after the rest." At the same instant, however, Arthur mustered all his strength and with a quick movement flung the fel low aside aud sprang over the bar The masked man quickly recovering him self aimed and fired at Arthur as he took the jump, the bullet missing his . I head by a narrow margin and striking the transom above the door. By that time W. 11. N. Walker real izing the situation sprang into the bar room. Just iuside the door he ran across the man who had lired the shot and the two clinched. In the strug gle the masked man disengaged his arm and leveling his revolver at Mr. Walker's head fired . The ball struck the top of his head and ploughed along over the top of the skull, producing a long scalp wound, from which the blood streamed down over his head. After the shot the robber continued the assault by pounding the landlord over the Inad with the revolver or someother weapon. Puriug the strug gle Mr. Walker sucoeeded in tearing the mask from the robber's face and had a good chance to view his feat ures. Samuel Haas, Harry Wait i and Alon zo Mottern were about t.ie hotel anil quickly marshaled themselves ou the side of the defense. The robbers find ing themselves defeated in the first onslaught and overcome by number* j quickly withdrew. Two telephone messages were quick- j Iv sent out, one tor the police aud the \ other for Dr. E. A. Curry. The news of the atlair reached Officer Voris first aud he hurried iu the direction of ! Walker's hotel, first stopping to in quire by telephone for some descrip- ! tiou of the robbers. He was informed that the man who did the shooting was David Barrett, who was recently , pardoned from the Eastern Peniten- j tiary for a hold up ou the Bloom road. | The Officer proceeded up East Market street and between Railroad and Nas sau streets met Barrett coming down. He quickly took hold of him and turn ing hint around told him lie was want- 1 ed up the street. Barrett's reply was a question- "What am 1 wanted for?" "Von know what you are wanted for,"was the Offloer's answer. " Well, you have got the wrong man this time, "Barrett remarked. Mr. Voris made a hasty exaiuiua- j tiou to assure himself that the fellow had no pistol in his pocket, but when near Calvin Hitter's store Barrett was noticed to make an adroit movement j of his arm as if he had something up, his sleeve and at the same moment the i Officer noticed a revolver which slip- j ped down into his hand and which by another adroit movement the fellow dropped into the gutter. The revolv er at the same moment was picked up by Clarence Ephlin, who was follow- i ing after, with the exclamation: " Here'* the gun; he threw it into the gutter. " As Officer Voris put the nippers on Barrett lie made a vicious struggle. He was unable to do much witli his hands hut he used his legs and suc ceeded in lauding a blow with his foot in the policeman's stomach. Barrett, was taken hark to Walker's hotel where at the first sight of him Mr. Walker exclaimed: "That's tin man that's the mau that did the shooting don't you let him get away " Barrett denied that he was the man hut Arthur Walker as soon as he laid ! eyes ou hiin also declared that lie was the man that did the shooting. a crowd was ou the spot by that time, among them being Hayes; Bedea aud Jacob Winters, both of whom accused Barrett of holding them up on East Market street with a revol ! vcr. In Barrett's pocket was found six loaded 88-calibre cartridges. In the revolver thrown into the gutter were four loaded shells of the same kind and two which had been fired oft The two shots fired HI the hotel seemed to account for the empty shells and this together with the identifica tion made by Mr. Walker ami his sou seemed to make the crowd wild aud vindictive aud tor a few minutes it looked dark for the prisoner Oflioer aud prisoner had hardly started for the jail, when some one 1 yelled: "Lynch him." In a uiomaut there was a chorus of "Lynch him," "shoot him," "Hang him," while the exoited people began to close in upon the Officer and Bar rett iu an ominous manner. Hut for Officer Voris' sternness and determina tion there is no telling what would happened to Barrett. "Stand back" commanded the Offi cer,"l have this mau in charge and I expect to land him in jail; no one shall touch him." The crowd, however, drew closer; ore individual made a spring at Bar rett and the Officer was obliged to use his fist to uphold ttie majesty of the law. A short distance farther on ♦hey met Ohief-of-Police Miucemoyer, who was on liis way up, and who relieved Jac ob VViuters, who up to this point had assisted Officer Voris. On the way to the jail Karrett made a number of threats, reminding the Offioers that he would "get" them both. At 2 o'clock Tuesday morning John I Seitz and Kd. Halderman were tak en into custody on suspicion of being accomplices of Barrett's. David Barrett and Edward Halder man were given a hearing before Justice of the Peace Oglesby last even ing charged with assault and battery with intent to rob Sietz was dis charged, as there was no evidence on which he could be identified. Barrett and Halderman pleaded not guilty. In addition to VV. H. N. Walk er, who lodged the information, and his son Arthur Walker, there were several other wituesses. Alonzo Mot tern, Samuel Haas and Hairy Waite were in the hotel at the time of the assualt and all swore that Barrett was the mau who did tha shooting, the testimony throughout strictly coincid iug with the facts of the affair as presented above. Clarence Epldin, who saw Barrett and Halderman to gether a short time before the shoot ing, was also a wituess as well as Richard McCormick, who was held op 011 the street by Harrett and Hald erman just after they left Walker's. Barrett was held for court in <2OOO bail ; Ilaldermau was held in £IOOO.

IMIlt COLLECTION OEI Mil I \ RELICS of the finest and most interest ing collections Of archaeological spec imens ever placed on exhibition iu Danville will he an attraction iu the window of M H. Schram's store dur ing the Fourth of July. With the exception of two Alaskan atiows, which belong to Dr. llai|iel, the collectiou is tha property of oui townsman, Charles M. Johnson and takes In the whole range of Indian implements. The smaller pieces iu the window such as arrow heads, spears, drills aud the like are over 1000 iu number aud are all classified aud card ed giviug the collection a good prac tical value to those who might wisli to take up the study of prehistoric an tiquities. Iu the collection are to be found every thing included iu the list of Indian relics, all with few except ions gathered in this immediate vicin ity. Mr. Johusou is something more than a mere collector of arrowheads and other Indian relios. He is an arch aeologist and he tias made the subject of ludiau implements and like relics a deep study. To him there is a iar fascination 111 treading over these hills aud valfevs and picking up and classifying the crude devices fashion ed by the mysterious race that came aud went long liefore he was born. Mr. Johnson lived for three years in the West where he had an opportunity of studying the habits of the Indian anil the kuowledge thus gained prob ably has assisted him somewhat in determiniug the uses of some of the peculiar implements unearthed. The specimens in Mr Sehram's win dow, extensive as is the display, com prises only a part of Mr. Johnson's collection, the most of which he has found himself. With him it has IWHII a labor of love and he has been gather ing the specimens ever siuce he was a boy. Notliiug can be more interesting than his explanations. Pointing to a card of rude irregularly shaped stones which is labelled "Humpbacks," Mr. Johuson showed how their very irreg ularity is a part of the design, to lit the clenched fist, and to be u»ed in skinning auiuials These stones along with many others the uutiained eye would have passed unnoticed In this way Mr. Johuson poiuted out the u»e of the spears, skiuning knives, cut ting implements, gouges, drills, axes, tomahawks feid eveu hoes and shovels Many of the specimens lay otaiiu to beauty notwithstanding the simple art expeuded upon them Amoug the most perfect are the arrow heads, drills, a lot of oereuionial stoues an<l moitar and pa-<tle, hot there is nothing in the whole collection, however, that leaves oue iu doubt as to its Indian oiigiu. not the least iuteresting aie tho speci mens of Indian pottery unearthed, which is of two kinds, soapstone aud day. Among the collectiou are a lot of atrocious implements belonging to the Indians of the present, which reflect their ciuel and barbarous nature as nothing else can do. In addition to the Alaskan airows are war clubs used by the Indians of our West, skull oraekers. bow and arrows, primitive fish hooks and oddly designed pipes for smoking. Shainokin-Sunbury Line. F.

Mr. Pascoe has been elected construc tion engineer of the line and has al ready seamed quarters in Shamokiu for offices. The capital for the build ing of the road has already been sub scribed aud tho cost estimated at sl,- 500,000.

Surveys have been made already for the branch liues to Springfield, Bear Valley and Fairview, suburbs of Sha mokiu. These branches will he built as soon as the system to Suubury is completed. From a person who has inside infor mation it is quite pr.tbable that a hand some hotel and sanitarium will bo built on a high peak iu Irish Valley along the route of the proposed system This beautiful spot overlooks the plac id Susquehanna river aud surrounding country and is pronounced one of the grandest and most picturesque in the State.

THE BIGGEST DAT IN DANVILLE'S Nil! Twelve Hundred Marching Men in Line—The Fire men's Contest and Other Features of the Day. When the cannon of Goodrich Post No. 22 G. A. K . at sunrise Tuesday morning bo.nued foith its annual sa lute to the Fourth of July it ushered ill a day that was remarkable in many respects aud which will for a long time stand apart from all others in the memoiy of our citizens. In the first place the weather condi tions left nothing to be desired Friendly clouds sheltered the earth from the iuteuse heat of the July sun. There were a few drops of rain in the morning hut later at no time dur ing the day did the sky eveu assume a threatening aspect. Everything turned out precisely as planned and anticipated and the day was marked by an utter absence of casualty,disorder or hitch of any sort It was a day when all roads literal ly led to Danville, not only railroads and trolley lines, hut also the waaon roads,and the crowds came early. Tne first delegation to reach Danville canio t'roiu Suubury arriving on the 7:11 Pennsylvania train. The bulk of the firemen came 011 the Reading specials, starting from Shamokin and Milton, which were booked to arrive at «:20 and 1» respectively, but which were over half an hour late. The Catawis sa special was nearly on time. Each of the visiting ilre companies was met at the station with delegations of local firemen accompanied by music. The streets at this time with their spirited music and companies of hand somely uniformed men moving hack ward aud forward presented an inter esting sight. Already Mill street was packed from end to end, while every trolley car which at intervals of twen ty minutes camo dowu from Blooms burg dumped a cargo of human freight into the town. Long before tho parade moved it was evident that the crowd would surpass all expectations. The number of strangers in town was laiger than on any occasion that could be recalled. So also the parade was larger aud more attractive. There were about 1200 men iu line, fully 1,000 being firemen. It was truly an imposing spectacle especially the coun termarch ou Mill street. The music was a glorious feature, eleven bauds aud three drum corps be ing in the loug line of inarch. Each of the neighboring towns seemed to seud the very best it had anil not only were the uuiforuis bright and at tractive, but the marchers as a rule were gentlemanly and dignified in beariug. Among, the visitiug firemen were the following companies : Friend ship, Rescue, Goodwill, Winona, Lib erty. of Blooiusburg ; Fifth Ward, Mi lton ian aud G(U)dwill,of Milton ;Wash • uigton, of Sunbui v; Rescue, West End of Shauiokin; Watsontown Fire Com- A PREHA TURE EXPLOSION A collection of tire works were ac cidentally exploded in front of Arthur Heddens' establishment. Mill street, Tuesday aftcrnoou. A lighted tire oraoker fell in the bunch and iu an instant there was an explosion that oaused cousternation 011 the street. The fire works flew in eveiy direction, a discharged rocket striking and breaking a window blind in the second story window of the residence opposite occupied by John sou's millinery. Fortunately no one was injured, although several persons in the crowd had narrow escapes. Three (iood and Just keasons There are three good reasons why mothers prefer One Minute Cough Cure: First.

The substantial hriok structure oc cupied by Oart Litz's restaurant is 1111 uus one of its chimneys as the result of an attempt to swing a large twenty foot flag to the breeze 011 Saturday af ternoon. The flag, an especially commanding one, was made by Mrs. J. C Hed dens and the plan was to swing it to the breeze over Mill street by securing one end of the rope on the roof of the Hoddens House and the other on Carl Litz's establishment. Oil tho latter building there was 110 other means of securing the rope than by tying it around the chimney. The flag was flung to the breeze with little difficulty, hut it had a short ca reer of it. The breeze rose, the Mag tilled and Mr. Litz stood by admiring it when all at once with a sound that suggested an eaithquake acait load of brick and mortar came raining down over the awning into the street., and tho Hag fell ingloriously to the gtoutid. As the chimuey fell a young lady came near being struck, while some children playing under the awning had a bad scare. Appointed Surgeon.

I Pin line made a very nice appear j ance. The veterans of Goodrich Post, No. 2'i, (J. A. R , were out in full force along with sixty odd comrades | belonging to the G. A R. Posts of | neighboring towns. A great deal of credit for the sac j cess of the parade belongs to Chief l Marshal Col. Jno. ' Sweisfort and his j able staff. It is very hard indeed to estimate the number of strangers in Danville j on the Fourth, but there were several j thousand. To convey some idea of [the multitude it might be stated that J after the parade with its 1200 march ing men left Mill.street for the Second i Ward and thus were out of tiie way altogether Mill street still over its whole length was one dense throng from sido to side, the people occupy ing the middle of the street, which was packed as tightly as the pavement. The grand chorus with its 135 voices was a magnificent success. It was during its rendition that the best idea could be formed of the crowd. Prob ably 5000 people listened to the sing ing. The firemen's contest was the at traction at the Northern end of town and was witnessed by thousands of peo ple There were only two entries, by the Washington Hose Company of Sunhury and the Rescuo of Blooms buig. The first prize was awarded to the Washington Hose Company,which oovered the distance, 200 yards, made the plug connection, unreeled 100 yards of hose and threw water in one minute aud thirty and one-half sec onds. The second prize was awarded the Rescue Hose Company of Blooms burg. The nreworks were a fine feature, witnessed by many thousand people from the river bridge and from vant age points on shore. All in all the dav was one of the biggest that ever occurred in Danville, the abundant measure of success, and the excellent order prevailing reflect ing credit not only upon the visitors within our gates but also upon the Citizens' Celebration Committee and our townspeople in general by whom it was so gcneiously aided ana sup ported.

The following extract is taken from the opinion in the Peter J. Berger case. First The plaintiff told the de fendant togo ahead and he would give him no trouble and this is found as a fact in the weight of the testi mony. It is likewise found that on tho strength of his promise, not to make trouble, &c., the defendant did go ahead, purchased material and ex pended a large sum of money. • This declaration amounted to a consent. Second. We conclude that Jthe de fendant has the right of way by virtue of the purchase of the franchise of the Danville and Riverside Railroad Com pany to build without consent, &c. We find that the said Danville and Riverside Railway Company always paid its taxes aud kept up its organi zation in good faith ; that the passen ger railway company under the law was not confiued to horse looomotiou ; that it might from time to time as conditions and public needs required substitute other and more modern power. From the agreement between Kase, Berger and Gulick, we must conclude that the Plantiff's bill was not filed in good faith. The defendant was ! charged by the State to constroot a street railway to meet the needs and demands of the public. This is the theory aud the only excuse for the granting of the charter. It is illegal and unfair tor a number of individ uals to combine for the purpose of preventing the State agent from carry ing out the purpose of its charter, ty ing themselves up so that neither can move hand nor foot without the con sent of all the others. This is in the nature of a conspiraay aßainßt the corporation to prevent it from carry ing out the purposes of its creation aud performing the public duties im posed upon it bv the State.
