Jim Salerno, who is already under SI,OOO bail to answer to several charges of a serious nature at the next term of court, adder! another crime, still more serious at an early houi this morning when he cut his step-daughter s throat. She died several hours later at the hospital. Salerno is the Italian who has been creating considerable disturbance on the South Side, recently and the step daughter whom he murdered this morning, is the same step-daughter who charged him with a serious crime and whom he, in attempting to save himself, caused to be arrested,but she was discharged by the Alderman. About three weeks ago Mr-. Saler no ami her daughter left Jim because of the trouble and took up their resi dence on Oedar avenue. Mra. Salerno and her daughter,Eliz abdth Carney, aged 14 years, occupied a room on the second floor of the west side of the house. The mother slept on au iron bed on the east side of the room; ttie daughter on a mattrtss on the floor on the west side A window situated just at the head of the daugh ter's bed is supposed to have furnish ed the means of entrance to Salerno, although there was no visible means of his reaching it and it is possible that he may have entered at the same window from which he escaped. About 1 .30 o'clock this morning the screams of the daughter awakened the mother, and she saw S.ilerno, razir and revolver in hand, standing in the room and the daughter's thro.it cut al most from ear to ear. The frenzied mother grappled with Salerno and wreuched the revolver from him, at the same time shouting to the other inmates of the tiouse. Hearing a call in a man's tones, Sal erno rushed into the hall aud escaped by way of a window to the north side of the house, leaping down over a shed. The cries alarmed not only the in mates of the house, but the entire neighborhood, aud men with revolv ers in hand were soon searching the neighborhood, but no trace of the murderer could be found. In the meantime the unfortunate victim of the Italian's razor, with an ugly gash in her throat, was bleeding, profusely, in the room in which she was cut. Sach efforts as could be made to stop the flow of blood were made, but without avail Messengers rushed for medical and surgical assistance,bat were met with the direction "Take her to the hospit al," arid so,about 2 :80 o'clock she was taken in au ambulance to that institu tion where she expired at 5 o'clock. The room which the girl occupied and the hall in front of her door re sembled a slaughter pen. Great pools of blood w.ire everywhere, and the cloths with which it was sought to stop the flow of blood bore evidence of tfie severity of the cut. Jim Salerno in of Italian desceir and is about 40 years of ago. He is about tlve feet five inches in height, weighs about 140 pounds, has heavy brown moustache and dark hair The Knocker. In the coining of words none is more used or appropriate than the expressive term "knocker" as applied to the per son whose pessimism leads him to criticize unreasonably men and things. He exists everywhere and his tongue is a constant menace to the peace of the community. No cause is too sa cred to escape his hammer. Knocking is his trade. He mistakes it for wit and sarcasm Public im provement* in his opinion are design ed solely for graft; no one can possi bly favor such movements with disin terested motives. Civic pride is a joke, public spirit another name for s' lflsh ness. Thus the knocker reasons, and he acts aud talks accordingly. He has no faith in anybody or anything. His views are always distorted and his hand is against all men. His voice is loud aud penetrating and hee*use sensible men decline to notice him he agines his arguments are unanswer able. Hut it's fortunate that the knocker so soon tiuds his level. He becomes a public nuisance and is avoided of all men. He knocks in vaiu. FUHEIIS ARE BEING BENEFITED Great is the rural free delivery ser vice. Rut it is not as great as it is go ing to be. According to a statemeu just issued by an official of the Post otlice Department,during the past year nearly 49,000 applications for the es tablishment of rural services were re ceived. Up to the close of the fiscal year 12,000 of these hail been rejected, mostly because the proposed routes fell below the standard in the matter of probable patronage, and 7,41»2 were granted. So there is quite a number ; of applications still to be passed upon even if the demand does fall off. Hut the demaud is not going to fall off for some time to come. On July 1 there were in actual ser vice 32,058 raral routes and many of these are in such fine shape that the department is preparing to have the boxes numbered so that mail may be 112 addressed to box numbers as is now ' permitted in the case of post office ; boxes. This move in itself may not he a very important improvement, but it is evidence that the authorities are bent on making the service as nearly perfect as maybe, and as such it will be welcomed. These thirty odd thousand scouts of the postal service and incidentally of progress and enligliteumeut, cost the taxpayers a pretty peuuy each year, but they are worth all they cost and more ! too. The Postottice Department was i recently in receipt of a communication from Georgia which ran to the effect that the telephone and the rural de livery of mail have increased laud values from £lO to SIOO per acre ! Georgia is uo exception ; for all over the land tho farinor is beginning to feel the benefits that accrue from his being brought into closer touch with the world. It would be vastly better for all concerned if Uncle Sam were to devote more money aud attention to development along this line and less to building battleships. DEEDS. NOT WORDS. Danville People Have Absolute Proof ol Deeds at Home. It's not words, but deeds that prove true merit. The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills, For Danville kidney sufferers. Have made their local reputation. Proof lies in the testimony of Dan ville people who have been cured to stay cured. Mrs Edward E. Lunger,of 11 Church St..says: "I still think a great deal of Doan's Kidney Pills. I would not think of being without them in the house. I made a statement forpublica tion in 1890 in which I gave my opin ion of Doan's Kidney Pills on account of the great benefit I had received from their use. I have never had any I cause to regret making that statement and now over eight years afterwards, I can reiterate tlie statement. Before taking this remedy I suffered for months with backache and lameness 1 aud soreness in the back. The pain ' over my hips was continous and when on my feet it was one steady gnawing i pclie. It hurt me to do anything re quiring a bending position, sharp twitißes would catch me so suddenly that I had to brace myself until they i stopped. The kidney secretions an | noyed me and I ofteu suffered from headaches. I read statements given by ! people in this vicinity who had used Doan's Kiduey Pills and concluded to try them. They did me more good than any other medicine I ever tried. After a few doses I no louger experi enced such severe pain and finally the pain was removed entirely. The an noyance caused by the irregularities of the kidney secretions was entirely removed. I can honestly recommend Doan's Kiduey Pills to those suffering as I did." For sale by all dealers.

Base Ball Game Postpon?'* The third game of the serit.: - tween Dauville A. A and Bloomsburg A. A. scheduled at Bloomsbarg for Saturday, July 29th,has been postpon ed indefinitely at the request of the Bloomsbnrg management. The postponement is made necessary on account of tho absence of several Bloomsburg players aud the illness of Lewis who is oue of the star perform ers of the Columbia county aggrega tion. The series between these two teams has created a lively interest, ami the fans will be disappointed, as a large crowd would have atteudeil the game at Bloomsburg.

The trolley ride to Btoomsburg and return given Monday eve for the beue fit of the Pine Street Lutheran church was a grand success financially and socially. This is the first time that the Dan ville and Blooiusburg line has placed an illuminated car on the road aud the effect was an artistic success. The many colored incandescent, lights and the hunting with which the car was trimmed produced a most pleising ef fect. and one that called forth most favorable comments along the line. Early in tlio evening it was found that such a large number of tickets had been sold that it would be neces sary to make two trips and to run two cars 011 each trip. The first cars left Danville at 7 :20 o'clock aud were fill ed to the capacity. It was necessary for many to wait for the next trip which left this city shortly after it o'clock. As each of the open cars easily seats 100 persons it is estimated that at least 400 people enjoyed the ride to Blooiusburg and return last evening.

FINDS SOME DEFECTS IN STATE HIGHWAY The attitude assumed by the Coun ty Commissioners and the Supervisors of Mahoning township against the set tlement of the bill for the State High way lately completed had the effect of bringing the State Highway Com mis sioner, Joseph W. Hunter, to this city Friday The visit in effect justified the commissioners and the township supervisors in their opposition, as Mr Hunter was brought to acknowledge that the job iu certain details does not come up to specifications and is imperfect. Mr. Hunter arrived from Harrisburg on the 10:17 trairi accompanied by K. S. Fry.a civil engineer connected with the State Highway Department. The two men at once left for the Sta'e Highway accompanied by County Coin missioners, Cook and Leighow, Clerk H. C. Hlue, E. L. White and George Hechendorn, Supervisors of Mahoning township and their attorney. Hon. K S. Ammerman. The party went carefully over the road, it did not take a very close in spection to show that, the plans anil specifications were not complied with. At places the road was deficient in the top layer of crushed rock, the next course of broken stone lying exposed. At places stones nearly the size of one's fist could easily he kicked loose on the surface and that notwithstand ing that 110 stones larger than one inch and a half were supposed to enter in to the construction of the road. The drainage, too, had to be acknowledged as defective. Clerk Horace Bine was armed with a pick which lie swung dexterously in laying open the road bed to show where the plans and specifications bad been departed from. The state of affairs was quite a rev elation to the State Highway Com mission, who relying upon the repoit of the Inspector thought that every thing was satisfactory. Humiliating as it must have been he did not hesi tate to acknowledge that things were not as they should be to comply with the specifications and to insure a good job. He disclaimed all knowledge of the pointed and offeusive correspond ence from the Highway Department sustaining the inspector,and deprecia ting the judgmeut oft! e town-hip su pervisors. He assured the Commission ers and the Supervisors that the mat tur would he taken up immediately by the State Highway Department and that in a few days the county would ho apprise 1 nf tiie next step to bo taken. Tin department will see to it that the contracting firm does its duty in the premises. While here Mr. Hunter went, over the extension of the State Highway in Valley township, the contract for which has already been let by the State. Mr. Fry,the Engineer,on Mon day will begin the survey for the State Highway, which will begin at the Valley township line and extend to Wise's hotel, Mausdale. During next week the contractors will arrive 011 the ground and begin work State Highway Commisisoner Hunt er personally went over the proposed road yesterday with the engineer and gave him the benefit of his ideas as to some of the details of drainage, &c.

Arthur Heddens' new delivery wag. ou appeared ou the streets for the first time Saturday morning. The wagon is the product of D. C.

LAW DOES NOT HIT MOTS Newspapt rs can employ boys of any ago toi distribute 11 of papers to reg ular customers Tliat is the substance of an opiuiou on tlie factory regulation law passed by «In I;ist Legislature, which was rendered to Chief Inspector Delauey, at Han isburg, y»studay by Attorney (» !)■ ral <'lloll Captain Delauey hao til along h lieved that carriers weie controlled by flic act. The Attorney (jeneral holds that employing i liool boys for such pur pos it- not t lie " regular" employrneut sought to In regulated by the act and does not violate either the letter or the sj irit. Hi< opinion applies only to tin-- one -iass (it employes. In part Mr. (>arsun says: The facts are that, the Reading "Telegram" employs about thirty boys, ranging in age from 11 to 15 years. All of these boys attend the public schools. After they are dis missed from schonl they goto the newspaper ollice, obtain a bunch of 'papers which an distributed by them on their routes to subscribers, and the hoys do not report until after school the next day. Tliev are paid for this servine a weekly stipend averaging |1.2."i. They are not employed in or ah nit lie* bnilding. 'I be time taken to distribute the route is aboot an hour a day The parents' consent to this employment is always obtained an 1 whenever unable to attend a snb stitute is furnished, if possible. In my judgment, a i employment by a newspaper, under tne conditions above state), does not violate either the terms or the spirit of the act in question Th employment sought to be regulated is employment in or about an establishment where the attendance of the employes and the receipt of wages by them lonstitutes a continu ous daily employment and the main means of support. All the provisions look to employment within a building or an establishment which constitutes : the scene of the physical or mental j activity of th • employe. It is manifest tint the hoys are not really employed in any building or establishment, and that the employ ment is not of a kind which confines or ;e.-d:aiu th :n-as employes are oon lineii or r.'strati.ed in a manufacturing or kindred establishment. They are not subjected to any unsanitary ditions or to any dangetous conditions resulting from <• intim mcnt in a crowd ed building. Their attendance upon the public schools is in no way in terteri d with, nor are their opportun ities for education limited by this em ployment. The advantages to the boys, to the customers of the paper and to the newspaper company itself, which have been dwelt upon in the argumeut, do not toneh th" 1 jal aspects of the case, and, therefore.need not be considered. I see nothing i.i tin facts which lead me to conclude tint the terms of the statute are violated by the employ ment herein described. Of course you understand tint this opinion is confin ed entirely to the facts of this special case, and that 1 am dealing with gen eral propositions of the employment of ' minors under the age of 14. Should any other cases arise for my considera tion I will deal with them when prop erly presented." Will Have Orphan's home.
