GIRL MURDERED
BY STEP-FATHER
WILLI AMS FORT, July 25. 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."

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 local management
will endeavor to secure a game for
Saturday at DeWitt's Park and,if suc
cessful, due notioe will be given.

Another (iunhoat Victim Dies.
SAN DIEGO. Cal.,.luly 2<i.— Anoth
er death among the injured of the Ben
nington's crew has occurred, the vic
tim being W. V. Kennedy. The body
will he taken to Alliance, Nebraska,
whero the deceased formerly lived.
The investigation of the disaster,
conducted by Commander Young and
Lieutenants Yates aud Wade, has been
concluded, and a report is being pre
pared to be forwarded to Washington
Nothing can he learned as to its con
tents from any of the three officers,
but there appears reason to believe
they have decided only oue boiler ex
ploded, but that the explosion broke
the steam pipes of the other boilers,
and that thus the latter contributed
their share of the death-dealing steam.
Water Scarce on Railroad.
The scarcity of water will have its
effect upon railroads as well as on
mines if the drought continues. The
officials are paying much attention to
the water issne just now. The P. &
R. seems to be the most seriously ham
pered. Orders have been issued to all
east bound crews to take water at Mid
dleport instead of Tamaqua.

Will Pay in Cash.
Pennsylvania Railroad officials have
und< r consideration a plan to do awav
with the present plan of paying the
men off by checks each month. This
change, according to reports, is made
for several reasons, and will he given

receive the full amount in cash and
the paymaster will visit the shops per
sonally and pay the men.

WOMEN WHO WORK

auces the results often show shattered
nervous systems and broken down
health. To meet the conditions re

strain and nervous tentioii of duties
never intended for her in the plan of
nature, she must use eveiy endeavour
j to preserve the vitality of her nerves
i and the regularity of the female func
tions. No remedy ever offered the
world has accomplished the wonderful
results obtained from the use of Dr.
A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills. By supply

Mrs. Anna Doretz, of No. 919 Cleveland
Avenue, Niagara rail?, N. Y., says:
"I was overtaxed with work and

HEARD FROM AFTER
EIGHT YEARS
Our townsman, Millard F. Cook, is
in receipt of a letter from his brother
in-law Henry B. Rake a former resi
dent of this city, who left here at the
outbreak of the Spanish-American war
and had not been heard of since. His
friends and relatives in this section
had long ago given up hope of ever
seeing him again.
Mr. Rake is a brother of Peter Rake,
of Washingtonville, Mrs. M. F. Cook,
Upper Mulberry street,and Mrs. Alice
Jones, Guliek's Addition. His father
the late Henry B. Rake, Sr., was a
resident of Mooresburg. At ttie time
of writing to Mr. Cook (July 18tli) Mr.
Rake was about to start ou a two
months furlough. He stated that dur
ing the furlough he iuteuded to travel
East and visit his relatives in this sec
tion.
Mr. Rake is serving his third enlist
ment in Uncle Sam's Army, holding
the rank of artificer in Company G,
2nd Regiment of Infantry, now sta
tioned at Fort Logan, Colorado. He
has seen service in Cuba and in the
Philippine Islands."• He states that his
regiment will in all probability be
sent to the Philippines again the pres
ent year as they are nearly due for
foreign service. He likes the life of a
soldier under the stars and stripes,and
says he is enjoying the best of health.
Bent Her Double.
"I knew no one, for four weeks,
when I was sick with typhoid fever aud
kidney trouble," writes Mrs. Annie
Hunter, of Pittsburg, Pa , "and when
I got better, although I had oue of the
best doctors I could get, I was bent
double, and had to rest my hands on
iny knees when I walked. From this
terrible affliction I was rescued by
Electric Bitters, which restored my
health and strength, and now I can
walk as straight as ever. They are
simply wonderful." Guaranteed to

Trolley Excursion a Success.
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.

New Delivery Wagon.
Arthur Heddens' new delivery wag.
ou appeared ou the streets for the first
time Saturday morning. The wagon
is the product of D. C. Hunt's works,
and the decorative work was done by
Benjamiu Urubb, and is a credit to
his artistic skill. The virtue of the
conveyance, however, does not lie en
tirely 1u its ornamental exterior. The
interior is a model of utility. The
arrangement, of the space, the dust
proof and moisture proof compart
ments make it one of the finest wagons
of its kind ever sem iu this city.

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."
