Oil this ilase gout rally tho ininistcrs of that denomination preach ed ail effective tompcrauce sermon. Following are some ot the points (I Kev. Dr. MoCor mack's sermon. He handled the subject iu his usual force ful and original manner A good siz ed congregation had turned out at the Grove church, all without exception commending the pastor's effort. The text was founded on Itnuians XIV 21 : "It is good not to eat flesh, iillr In drink wine, nor to do anything whereby thy brother stumbleth." T'iking as a t'ipio tlie broad .-übject of "Temperance" Dr. McCormaok said: "Wheu we join the chnich we cease to lie ahl" to look at thing' mere ly in their relation to ourselves; we are ill honor hound to look at them in their relation to the life of every oth er member. In the text Haul speaks of abstinence not for a man's own sake hut for the sake of others. One who realizes his <>wn weakness abstains foi his own sake; another person, who re cognizes the weakness of those around him, abstains for their sake. This chapter urges the importance ot con science. This is a question on which there is no room for a difference of opinion. As a follower of Christ a man's duty is perfectly cii ar; he must lie a total ah>tainer You all admit that there may !>• cir cumstances wheu it would he wrong for you to drink when you know you are running a serious risk by doing it. The nurse and physician have to take risks in mastering the plague. Busi ness men ate bound to take risks; oth erwise the wheels of commerce would stand still; but risks that can b-3 avoid ed should not be taken. I believe that in taking a drink a man rum risiis that might he avoided. Tlieie is no place where drink is nec essary. The social cup does not feed nor sustain. Granted, il you like,that it is a medicine. Further thers are things nobody should risk ; character of his o #n chil dren —his own soul Youi character has reached a stage in which it is pretty Well fixed and the danger of you evet becoming a drunkard is very lemote. Hut what of youi children The man who drinks also ri*ks his own charac ter. The ri*L in your casa you say is sm >ll, hit every drunkard wa- once a moderate drinker. Men do not de liberately become drunkards. "Let those wl o stand beware 10-t they mil." Abstain for personal safety 1. It is wrong for you to drink * lieu you know it i» an occasion of stum! ling to others. This i- to Christ ian people an unanswerable argument. The strong language of temperance ad vocati s is no good excuse for turning a deaf ear. Our national drink bill is enorm nw. The victims be long to all classes, to both sexes. 2. Is -elf sacrifice a pait nf the Christian'« duty? "Take up thy cross and follow ine." But why should a mail live up drink what difference will it make —why should a man give up what he liken? The lif*3 of thn drunk'll wretch, the hesotti d scamp stands out as a r«"l signa' of tlangei. Satan does not take the innoeent young iiiH-i to thi Justice's onrrf on Mnn 'l7 morning to p< i'ii i V him tint ;» little wiue or bet is good t«■ r him. But on Sunday he takes him to church lioints out tho respectable church member, Sunday school Uacher or eliler, who i« a moderate drinker, and discourses on their illustrious virtues. That is a plea the young man can not answer or withstand. A respectable. temperate man is worth 10,000 drunkards in tho devil's battle for the souls of the youth <1 our land. Again !.y havirg drink in your house you plat!" it in the way ol vonr d il dr. n and friends. It is 11.r each el lis to weigh these things up. There is no donbt hut flit! you think of something to lie s»i <l on the othci side. I believe you will agr<*e that moieration is the highest form of temperance; it is si If contiol. Flint sounds well enough but it is Pngati ! morality, not Christianity, which has taught lis there is soim'thillti higher than self-control and that is self- leiii al.

DARING THEFT OF CHICKENS A chicken theft oi the very boldest typo was perpetrated Sunday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Woiiiger, corner of A and Spring streets. The Wenigers have always imagin ed their coops to he safe from the dep redations of chicken thieves, on ac count ot the ai'J light on the corner where their home is situated. Tills daring rascal, however, was not deter red by the illumination, nor did he even wait until a late hour to make the raid Mr. VVeuiger had retired and Mrs. Weniger was about to do so at 10 o'clock when a slight noise attracted her attention to the rear of the house. There she saw the man emerging from the chicken coop. Mrs. Weniger's de mand for an explanation only served to cause the rogue to make a hurried exit and disappear. Mrs. Weniger thought she had fright ened the thief away without his booty lint an examination of the coop yes terday morning showed that two of the fino-f chickens were missing. Mrs. Weniger is confident that she recognized the tbitf, and she promises to institute proceedings unless the chickens are returned or she is reim bursed for her loss. .Small Ballot. The secretary of the Commonwealth is making up the form of the official ballot fur the election next month. By reason of the small number of offices to be fill (1 this year and the United number of nominees for these offices, the ballot will b:< much smaller than last year. Aside from state treasurer, justice of the supreme court and judge of the superior court, the only state offices to Ie filled are common pleas and associate judges. Common pleas judges will be elected in twelve coun ties and associate judges in eleven counties The contest for common pleas judges in several districts are already very exciting and will bring out a heavy vote for an "off year." Associate judges will be elected in Clinton, Elk, Forest, Fulton, Mifflin, Monroe, Montour, Sullivan, Union, Warren and Wyoming counties. Al legheny, Philadelphia,Ttoga and West moreland are tiie only counties in which there is no fight for common pleas judges where judges are to be elected. Both parties have nominated tlio regular Republican candidates iu tl e o four counties,thus insuring their election without the trouble and ex pense of a campaign. Popular Couple Harried. The Gregory homestead, corner of Church and Walnut streets, was the scene of a quiet wedding last evening, when Miss Nelle Gregory became the bride of David U. Kckman, of this city The ceremony was performed at 7 o'clock by Rev. Dr. McCormack, pastor of the Grove Presbyterian church. The wedding was an exceed ingly ijuiet affair, none hot tho im mediate family being present. Imme diately after the ceremony the newly wedded couple were driven to Sooth Danville where they took the 7:51 Pennsylvania train for a trip to Phil adelphia and New York. The bride is an accomplished lady and a leading member of our corps of public school teachers. She enjoys a wide acquaintance and is highly es teemed. The groom is one of our leading business men. He is very widely known and is popular everywhere. The en fire community unites in fervout congratulations and well wishes. Sustained a liroken Nose. Kieloird Kogle, of Hiverside, is con fined to his home with a broken nose. The arc.irh nt was sustained yester day afternoon. Mr. Kogle is a pud dler, an 1 is employed at the Reading Iron Works. He was engaged in hand ling some iron when a bar thrown by another person struck him on the nose. The injury inflicted was a most jninful one, a deep cut occurring 011 the bridge of the nose and the under : lying bone being badly shattered.|The injured man made his way to the office of Dr. P. (X Newhaker, who dressed the injury and made a very good job of it. He moulded the shattered par ticles of bone back into place, after which lie stitched the gash and plast ered tlie whole firmly over. A broken nose is bad enough, hut it is an injury that need not cause a man to lose very much time. Mr. Kogle will probably be out again in a few days. Hearing on the South Side. The tronotouy of life on the South Side was slightly relieved yesterday afternoon by the appearance of a group of people, among whom was the Constable of the township,moving with duo dignity and deliberation to ward the oflice of Justice of the Peace H. S. Vastiue, which is situated at the upper end of South Danville. The fact soon became known that there had been an arrest and that the parties were assembling for a hearing. Tho complainant ill the ease was Mrs. William Chapman and tli" party arraigned was Mrs. W. C. Main/.er The charge was assault and ba'tery. The hearing took place about 2 o'clock. Witnesses were examined and thee ise deliberated upon,after which Justice Vastino decided to held the def 'iidant for court. Bail was fixed at five bun Ire I dollars,which was easily procured DAN.ILLK, l'A.. TII UItSDA Y (XTOISKK 111. l!»or,. PUPIL TEACHER TAKES CHARGE Professor Shaw. Principal of the Third Ward Grammar School, who is suffering with an attack of diphtheria was ieported hy Ins physician yesti r day as doing very well under the cn cuinstances,the disease being well un der control and not at all of a malig nant type. Miss Kate Seesholtz, one of the pu pil teachers elected, yesterday after noon temporarily relieved Borough Superintendent Gordy.who had charge of the Third ward grammar school following Professor Shaw's illno-s. The Borough Superintendent has reg ular duties to perform in the line of actual supervision, which may at any time call him away. So that while his attainments aud experience make him a first class teacher in auy of the grades it is impracticable for him to act as a substitute for more t ban a very brief interval. In oases of sickness affecting the lower grades the pupil teachers come Into play very nicely and generaly do satisfactory work. The grammar school, however, is a pretty difficult proposition for a young woman to tackle whose schooling and experience is within the limit implied when pu pil teachers are considered. Neverthe less Miss Seesholtz essayed the task and with t!io effective aid of the Borough Superintendent got along very nicely. Miss Seesholtz will continue in charge, the Borough Superintendent looking in at intervals to see that things go rightly,until next Monday night when the School Board holds a regular meet ing. If necessary, other arrangements may I lieu be made. Ministerial Association. The Ministerial Association of Dan ville yesterday morning held its first meeting since Jnne, when the pastors began to prepare for their summer va cations. The attendance was fairly good. The intention was to have made ar rangements for the Union Thanksgiv ing service,but owing to the fact that one or more of the ministers were ab sent it was decided to postpone mak ing arrangements until next Monday The prolific season and the general prosperity prevailing ought to call forth a fervent thanksgiving this sea son and nothing less than the usual interesting program will suflice. Katdii Joseph Zeisler of tho B'nai /ion congregation was elected a mem ber of the Ministerial Association yes terday. No one feels a deeper interest in ttie moral and religious welfare of the town than Kabbi Zeisler and he expects to alliliate fully with the as sociation and to labor shoulder to shoulder with the members for the good of the town and community. Kabbi Zeisler yesterday stated that t tie Jew nil congregation will join the Christian denominations in a Union Thanksgiving service. Complete Program for Reunion.

The Daily has the fol lowing to say about the basket ball teaui froui ten miles up the road,which will play the local five at the Armory Friday evening: "The local basket ball enthusiasts are now formulating plans for the coming season. It in the purpose of the local promoters to get. together as strong a combination of players as possible, and only the verv best of teams will be played. "The best of the local ability has been secured to which will be added several star players to be secured else where. "The first game of the season will he on Friday evening when the local men eo to Danville to play the team of that town,and they aro going there to win." That sounds pretty good and it is altogether likely that the visitors will put np a fine game,but as to their winning—well, you can't always tell. There are five boys from right here at home, who hive been practicing hard for some time, and they put up a mighty good article of basket bull. Anyway they will make that com bination of players "hump." Rogers' Having Contract.

'THRILLING ESCAPE FROM HEATH lle-i b nt- of the Third Ward ar> talking ovi r a very narrow and n si qnentty a thrilling • sca| <\w hid. o curied at the Center Mre;il crossing • day or so a;o wle'ii in spite of the jingling tells a buggy containing a guit liiiian and lady «scaped being struck hy a loiomotive hv thenarr iw e-t kind ot a margin. There were several eyewitness ot the affair. The buggy came down < 'on ter street,the track toward Bloom stri i t be ng clear, while tho view toward Spruce street was obstructed by Albert Lloyd's house. The huggv stopped op posile Mr. Lloyd's house, but the fact that tho signals wore ringing did not seem sufli licnt to convince th • driver that the cats wire near at band and lie called to a lady on the lower side of the crossing evidently asking her whether it wo it lii! safe to cross, but which -he in ■:n i rstood and think ing that he had asked her whether the c.t's wire ruining n idded in the aflitm i ice. The r. suit was that he drove upon tiie t » "I- only to find that the switch engine Aas right on the spot. For i m.i o nt i dreadful accidi lit d unavoidable.

Mrs. Albert Lloyd, who was HII eye witness of the affair yesterday stated that there is scarcely a day but, that people lake dreadful risks at that point, paying no attention whatever to the signals. The crossing is a very dangerous one and Mrs Lloyd has fre quently stopped people and thus pre v nted accidents. Tho bells, she savs, it properly regulated and observed, would afford an excellent protection. They add a sense of security and re move much of the dread formerly felt by residents that the crossings would at any day be the scene of an accid ent. Several persons who witnessed the narrow escape described above exone rate the diiver from blame. The bells they say are ringing too much of the time with no cars in sight. An inst ance is cited that occurred on Monday morning when the bolls rang for fifty minutes hy the watch, the perform uioe of the signals being due to the fact that a portion of a train occupied the wesjern end of the block while switching was in progress at the Uead Ing Iron Works. At such times it is urged that no man with whom time is a factor could afford to hold up his horse until the bolls stopped ringing, hut would be inclined to take the risk and endeavor to affect a crossing. Whether the signal system or the traveling public are at fault the fact remains that since the bells have been installed, as revealed by the recent narrow escape, conditions, if possible, are moro favorable for accident than before. It does not seem unlikely that a change will be made in the system before long. Meanwhile it behooves the public, who are the parties exposed to casualty, goto the extreme limit in the exercise of precaution and if necessary to cross while the bells aro ringing not to do so without first tak ing a view up and down the track. Father of 2<s Children. Burton Garrison, of Berwick, is the father of twenty-eight children, but only eight of them are living. The youngest, a daughter, was born three weeks ago.

The legal sea-ou for shooting pheas ants hiil wild turkeys was ushered in on Monday. The real np -iung day was October 15th, but that o-curred Suu day,hence the shooting began on Mon day. As sijtiirri I- and woodcock, which come into season 011 the Ist of October under the new law. are exceedingly scare,hunters have not had much sport so far and have been looking forward with more pleasure to tho opening of the Reason, as pheasiuts are plcntier this year in all sect ions ot the State than for s<.mc years past and in many places wild turkeys are also rather abundant.
