WORKED STRONG SWINDLING GAME Late Monday afternoon it was learn ed that the horse and buggy left by an unknown party at the Shamokin House, had been stolen from Hunter's livery stable at Danville, by one of the slickest individuals that has visited this section for some time. During Mr. Hunter's absence the man who gave his name as Frank Hug gles, of Grovania, near Danville, ap proached his son at the livery stable and said he wanted to hire one of Hunter's best horses to be gone three days in Snyder county to purchase cat tle. Just about this time a dealer drives up to the stable with a string of baggies and the slick swindler im mediately made a purchase of one of the best, giving iiis note for eighty dollars in payment for the same. It seems that the stranger bad visited two other livery stables and had hired a horse at each place but returned them claiming thay were not as good as was wanted. When this was learn ed in connection with the puichase of the buggy Hunter gave him one of the best horses in the stable and three valuable robes. lustead of driving to Snydei oounty the fellow drove to Sunbury, leaving the horse and buggy at the Shamokin House After being in Sunbury a short time the swindler offered to sell the entire outfit for fifty dollars. Leaving Sanbnry he weut to a farm several miles below town where he purchased the entire farm and eveiything upon it. He told the party with whom he made the deal that tie should come up to the Shamokin House and get his mouey. After this nothing more of the fellow was seen When Mr. Hunter, Sr., returned home he searctied all the barns at Seiinsgrove and Shamokin Dam and later Chief of Police Waltz found ttie missing outfit.—Sunbury Item Mr. Bookmlller's Beans. Albert Hookrniller has raised some pole beans on his premises. Cherry street, which are probably the largest evei seen 111 this section. The pods are of about the thickness of the ordinary striug beau, but it is in length that the beans excel, the largest in Mi Hookmiller's garden be ing thirty-six inches Several pods raised by Mr Hookmiller were 011 ex hibition at J. F. Tooley's store yes terday, the largest of which measured twenty-six inches. The seed were ob tained in Her wick and Mr. Hookmiller was much surprised to see the pods at tain sacti a size. The large pods.it is said,cook easily and are very delicious. In Massacho setts they are raised 111 great quantities and are sold by the farmers the same as any other beans, except that their great length makes it necessary to coil them in the halt peck measure. Hen are Very Scarce. The Hloomshurg department of the American Car and Foundry Company, is at present experiencing one of the greatest booms in the history of the concern.

VV Low rie, Strawberry Ridge, and Carl Wag ner, son of O. H. Wagner,Ottawa,two well-known young men of this coun ty, had an exciting experience near A lien wood a night or so agjo and nai rowly escaped serious iujury. They were attending a festival at A lien wood and about midnight were returning home when they were over taken by a heavy thunder shower. The storm burst in its fury just as they reached the Baptist Ohurch near Dr. Truckenmiller's. Frank Allen was driving behind them and called to them to drive into the shed connected with the church for shelter They were in some doubt in the darkness as to the location of the gateway and paused for a few moments in the road, a ciroumstance Mr. Allen was not aware of, who whipped up his horse expecting to dash into the church en closure after the two young men. The consequence was he rail into the first buggy and in an instant there was a frightful mixup of horses, men and a mass of wreckage. To make the mat ter worse the rain poured in torrents, the lightning was vivid and almost continuous,while loud peals of thund er followed in quick succession. Mr. Wagner, who some time pre viously sustained a fracture of the col lar bone, had not yet recovered and carried his arm in a sling Under the circumstances ho was in no position to help himself. All fought heroical ly and great as ware tho odds escapad with slight, bruises. Mr. Allen's bug gy was a total wreck , the wheels on one side of Mr. Lowrie's buggy were reduced to splinters, but beyond this the vehicle was not much damaged. The party spent the night at Dr. Trackenmiller's, repairing to their respective homes the next morning Additional Hen Wanted. Chief Factory Inspector Delaney, of Harrisburg is continuing to experi ence the same trouble about having certificates issued to school children which he prophesied when the law went iuto otlect in tho spring. Immediately after the new statute became operative a hitch occurred and Captain Delaney then said that the same trouble would be repeated, only on an extended scale, during the eigh teen months until the Legislature shall again meet. Under the law 110 child may be em ployed who is under the age ot 14. Children from 14 to 16 may be employ ed, providing they hold certificates showing that they are possessed of the necessary qualifications. The trouble now is that 110 oue will issue these certificates because the amount of lab or involved is great and the law makes no provision for compensation The duty of issuing the certificates devolves upon teachers,principals and superintendents of the public schools but they refuse to do it unless paid and there is no way of compelling them to do the work. And the Depart ment of Factory Inspection feels, fur ther, that it is scarcely right to make them do it,even if that could be done Before the law was enacted by the Assembly, Captain Delaney said the point in question would be a vulner able part of the bill and it has so proved. Under the old law, repealed by the one uow in forco, certificates were issued by anyone qualified to ad minister an oath and the proper fees were provided. Under the existing law 110 provision is made even for pay ing the postage which those who issue certificates are compelled to put upon the envelopes containing returns to the headquarters at Harrisburg. In Philadelphia, Pittsburg and the Lehigh miuing country Captain De laney has been compelled to employ additional help to issue the certificates but lie must soon dispense with this as the cost is too great. The regular deputy inspectors can not be detailed to do the work in their respective dis tricts as they would then have time for nothing else. The law is hardship 011 all concern ed, for it puts officials in the some what uucomfortablo position of being oompelled to disoblige friends and children over the legal age who wisli to work are unable to do so tor it is a misdemeanor to employ auy child without such a certificate. No remedy is in sight until the noxt Legislature. Lackawanna to Build Terminal. The Lakawanna Railroad is plan ning to replace its passenger terminal in Hoboken, which was destroyed by fire on August 7.and the officials state no efforts will be spared to do this with the least possible dolay Until the new building is ready tem porary waiting rooms,dining room and other necessary facilities will be pro vided. Plans for the new terminal call for a vast ferry and railroad structure with sixteen tracks and six ferry slips The buildings will be absolutely fire proof. Their construction will he of steel and concrete throughout. The main waiting room will be 150 feet square and fifty-four feet high, with enormous windows on all sides. The restaurant will be on the main floor, overlooking the water with a view up and down the river, and a wide bal cony, projecting from the restaurant for diuing out of doors in Summer. Passengers from boats to trains will not be compelled to pass through the main waiting room, hut may use the forty-foot concourse leading to the tracks. The exterior of the buildings will be 600 feet long on the rivei side, with a oentral tower 225 feet high This tower will be electrically ilium inated at night and its lighted clo<k faces will be one of the noticeable sights of the harbor.

Sold by druggists at 50 cts or mailed by Ely Brothers, 56 Wan en St., New York PROPAGATING _ SILK rams Alsr. George Gademan, of Riverside, this summer took up the propagation of the silk worm with the govern ment. She has had a valuable ex perience, both as to the amount of care and work involved and the re muneration that is in it. Mrs. Gad etna u last winter learned that in instances where persons desir ed to raise silk worms the Government would furnish the eggs and that when the worms had left their larval state would pay a certain price for the co coons. Mrs. Gademan wrote the department for information and in reply received a package of eggs accompanied hy full instructions how to proceed to raise silk worms. This was during the early part of June ami from that time until the present Mrs Gadetnan's cozy home in Riverside has been the center of re markable interest. The quantity of eggs was infinitesiinally small, yet they were sufficient, to produce be tween two and three thousand worms. In hatching, all that is necessaiy is to spread the worms out on paper and the action of the summer atmosphere does the rest. Eighteen days is the period required. It was the last of June when the worms made their appearance. From that time on Mis. Gademan found her hands full, indeed, and her house was visited by hundreds of people attract ed by the interesting object lesson showing how the delicate threads are produced from which the silk of commerce is prepared. It was truly a wonderful sight. As made their appearance it was apparent that the one room set apart for the useful little insects was not sutlicient; two other apartments in a short time had to be added and the silk worms were masters of the premises. It was just about this time tliat Mrs 112 Gademan began to fully realize what she liafl on her hands As is well known the silk worm subsists upon i the mulberry leaf, which is by no ■ means a plentiful commodity it) this soction Mrs. Gademan was well in formed on the subject and she under -1 stood that the mock orange leaf is a satisfactory substitute for the mul berry leaf On the farm of T. H. Kimbel nearby one of these trees is growing, which was finally set apart for the silk worms. When it is stated that oue ounce of eggs will produce forty thousand worms and that this number of worms daring their larval : state will consume over a ton of leaves the contract that the Riverside lady had on her hands in supplying the several thousand worms in her care will be readily appreciated. Fortun ately the mock orange tree held out, although now that the worms are done with it it looks as if it had boen rid dled by a hail storm. Under their osage orange diet the worms grew rapidly and soon Mrs Gaileman found the throe apartments of her house full of worms two inches or more in length. Two weeks ago they started to spin their cocoon, a sort of an obloug case in which the worm lies during its chrysalis state. Those who missed seeing the silk worms in this interesting stage of their existence certaiuly missed a great deal. About one week was occu pied in spinning, after which noth ing remained hut to cure the cocoons and prepare to ship them to the de partment. The process of curing con sists in exposing the cocoons to a moderate heat either artificial or that of the sun. A word as to the remuneration. The government pays from seventy cents to one dollar per pound for cocoons. As these must be thoroughly cured it is evident that when they return to the government they do not weigh very much. Over six hundred are required to make a pound. It is very easy there fore, to tiguro 011 the remuneration that Mrs. Gademan will have for the most strenuous summer that she ever spent in her life. A Touching Story. is the saving from death, of the baby girl of Geo. A Eyler. Cumberland, Md. He writes: "At the age of 11 months, our little girl was in declin ing health, with serious Throat Trou hie, and two physicians gave her up We were almost in despair, when we resolved to try Dr. King's New Dis covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. The first bottle gave relief; after taking four bottles she was cur ed, and is now in perfect health." Never fails to relieve and cnreacongh or cold.

Surrounding the death of Thomas Brozpsi at the Shamokin ami Coal township almshouse Friday, centers considerable interest, as his case is a record breaker 111 the medical world, inasmuch that lie has lived for the past eight years with a broken back The broken back was the result of a fall of coal 111 the mines,which almost completely covered him, his head only being exposed. After the coal and rock had been removed from him it was found that a large piece had struck him squarely 111 the middle of the back, breaking it, and paralyzing him from the waist down. He lingered for a time hovering between life and death,and finally fully recovered from bis other injuries and grew 10 strength with the exception of the paralysis of the lower portion of the body He was finally removed to the almshouse, when he has since boen continuously confined to bis bed, only being moved when a change of bed clothing was necessary or he was placed on an in valid's chair Indorsement of Speef "s Wines by the Faculty of N.

WORKING TOGETHER FOR DIVORCE LAWS Replies of Governor* of the States to Governor Pennypacker's circular letter requesting co-operation in form ing a national com mission to codify the divorce laws make interesting read ing as showing the plenary authority in the premises already vested 111 many of the executive ollicers. Others mast, await the action of their respective legislatures. As stated several days ago, Governor Pennypacker lias received replies from the Governor of every State in the Union, and all of them intimate that co operation will he willingly extend ed. Several of the forty-four fellow ex ecutives express regret that they are legally uuahle to take action in person immediately. The Governor of New York has re ferred the matter to a commission on uniformity of legislation which al ready exists in the Empire State. The Governor of West Virginia will appoint delegates to a conference when ever the time and place shall he nam ed. The matter will he brought to the attention of the New Jersey Legislat ure at the next session. Connecticut has a commission like New York's to wliioh the subject will ba referred. The Governor of Vermont has al ready appointed a commission on con ference. Prank Bucher at Kivrerside. Frank Bucher, who eight weeks ago yesterday, was thrown under the cars at Sunhury, and badly injured, has been discharged from the Hospital and is spending a few days at the home of his parents in Riversido. Frank has so far recovered from the effects of the amputation that he can get along very nicely on crutches. He is looking very well considering the trying ordeal that he has passed through. The surgeons were able to save the heel and ankle of the foot that was crushed, so that Frank will be able to get aloug through life very well,although it is pretty evident that his days of active railroading are over. It is said, however, that as soon as be is able to work a position in another department of the Pennsylvania rail road will be oj en for him,at which he will be able to earn a oouifortable livelihood. Twice the young railroader was ter ribly injured while 011 duty, while 011 another occasion he escaped instant death by a hair's breadth. It is gratify ing that after such experiences he has prospects ahead removed from a life of so much peril. A Guarauteed Cure For Piles.

When the child changes from giil hood to womanhood and again lati-i iu life when the organs of the pelvic re gion cease their work,there is a strain thrown upon the nervous system, that requires outside aid that there may be supplied a proper amount of addition al strength and resistive power This Dr. A.

FATE OF THEhS HANG IN BALANCE The petition signed bv a large nuiii her of persons asking that the trees along the curb at West Market, street be not disturbed was enterta'ned by the County Commissioners at their meeting last Saturday, but just to what extent the request of the citizens may influence the action of tie' above named officials is not clear. A concrete pavement along Wct.t Market street at the Court. House is decided upon, the contract is award ed. The decision to put down a con crete pavement carried with it an order to remove the trees, which, if permitted to stand, the Commission ers believe, would make a good job im possible. If is therefore feared that the matter is regarded as settled. One of the Commissioners Saturday, with out stating just what the intention of the Board is in the premises, said they would like to defer to the wishes of the petitioners, although it was very late to call a halt 011 the work as plan ned and contracted for. The petitioners have not abandoned hope. They would like to see the Com missioners postpone the removal of the trees as long as possible, hoping that at the last moment some solution may be suggested whereby the trees may be spared. They now suggest that only the poorer of the trees be removed, that every other 0110 for instance be left stand and that in layiug the con crete pavement, if flagstone is im practicable, provision be made for the growth of the trees by leaving a cir cle uncovered around the roots as is frequently douo in other cities. Back to the Pay Car. Experiments now being made by the P. R. R., indicate an early return to the good old days of the pay car and the payment of employes of monthly wages by ca>h instead of by check. The latter system, after a trial of 35 years has been found to have its dis advantages, and the company is ex perimenting on certain divisions with payments in cash. The objections to the check system are varied. In many instances the em ployes ;»re remote from the banks up on which their checks are drawn, aud are put.to somo inconvenience and ex pense at times in securing the niouey. Li other instances employes have ab sented themselves from their work for days, on plea of having to get a check cashed. Probably the strongest objection on the part of the company is that the check system tends to the employes froqueutiug saloons in order to get ! their checks cashed. By this practice j they lose a discount and arc also prone { to fall into habits not at all consistent with good railroadiug. Public is Aroused.

Victim is Unable to Talk. i The little town of \\ infield, about ; four miles below Lewlsborg, lias a ! mystery. About ten days ago, a well dressed stranger got otf the evening train in Wintield. He was accompanied by a young man in a new dark blue suit and a straw hat. The younger of the two was about twenty years old. Proceeding to the Hyman Hotel, the elder man. without registering, secur ed a room for the young man. He paid the bill and remarked that the rates were much lower than in New York Gity. He then said that he was going away on the night train but that the young man's sister would be along in the morning and would make arrangements to stay some time at the hotel. The older man left.and nothing was thought of the matter until the next day when the sister failed to arrive. Attempts to get information trom the strange guest failed in eliciting any answer. Ha seemed to be speechless. After repeated questioning, however, he several times answered "yes" and "no." Hut nothing definite could be learned from him. Ho had several dollars in his pockets and this money he turned over for his board for tfie next day or two and then indicated that his funds were exhaust ed. No word has been received from the man who left the youth and no sister has as yet made her appearance Noth ing was found about the young man in any way to identify him. After re peated efforts to loam bin name, ho finally succeeded in writing "Irvin ltouzie," but gave no place oi resi dence. When shown corn he named it "fru mentum."

Such was the day on which was to occur lhe widely advertised Farmers' Tri County picnic at DeWitt's Park The rain which continued to fall up to nearly ten o'clock seemed to place a picnic out of tlie question.

This measure was accordingly adopt ed It was announced that there would he no attempt to hold a picnic on that day, but that the event would be held oti Saturday, September 2nd.

The farmers simply used their judgment in the matter aud when it brightened up duriug the forenoon some deoided to take tho risk and started for the picnic.
