WOMAN GETS
BROKEN LIMB
Michael Leafey, at) employe of the
Reading Iron Works,sustained a brok
en limb while at work Monday and
was taken to the Mary M. Packer Hos
pital.
The accideut happened about 8:30
o'clock Monday morning. Leafey
was assisting tc onload a car of pig
iron. He was standing on a plank sap
ported on a level with the car, receiv
ing the pig iron as it was handed ont.
One of the pieces passed to Leafey was
exceptionally heavy, weighiug about
200 pounds. Under its weight the
plank broke and pig iron and man
were precipita f ed to the grouud.a dis
tance of some live feet. The heavy
mass of irou fell on the workmau,
fracturing his right l j g about midway
between the knee aud the auklß.
Mr. Leafey was removed to his
boarding house ou Spruce street where
Dr. W. R. Panics was called. After
ascertaining the extent of the injury
the physician recommended that the
injured man be remove! to the Marv
M. Paoker Hospital at Suubury for
treatment. His suggestion was adopt
ed and Leafey was taken to Sunbury
on the 12.10 passenger train. Before
starting Dr. Paules had dressed the
Injury temporarily so that the man
during the trip seemed resting easily
on a cot.
Michael Leafey, is a son of Law
rence Leafey, the well known stove
moulder,formerly of Danville,but now
of Philadelphia. lie is a single man
about nineteen years of age.
Rural Telephone Line.
T. S. Pettijohn, the promoter of the
rural telephone in thiscouuty, has re
turned to Danville from the West and
in the capacity of General Manager
will remain ou the ground until the
close of the year.
The rural line has been taken over
by the patrons or purchasers of stock,
who form what is known an the Peo
ple's Telephone Company, with H. A.
Snyder as President, and W. H. Dil
dine, Secretary. The idea of a rural
'phone founded on Mr. Pettijohn'B co
operative plau has become immensely
popular with the residents of the coun
ty and the system is expanding rapid

past th° Hue has beeu extended from
White Hall to Opp's in Lycoming
county, the additional w\re with its
numerous spurs and branches, run out
to accommodate pitrous, aggregating
something over fifteen miles. Another
branch ia being extended in the direc
tion of Bloomsburg and is already or
ganized as far as Buckhom, while
actual construction has already began
and is nicely under way. Still another

ship where two 'phones will be in
stalled. Mr. Pettijohn from now on
expects to see (he system itrow of its
owu accord. The rural 'phone, be
says, has demonstrated its value and
the farmers could not be induced to
dispense with it.
The proposition of the rural 'phone
will next be submitted to the farmers
on the South Side of 'he river where
general conditions are such as to fa

should it once find root.
Mr Pettijohn is also establishing
the rural 'phone on liis co-operative
plan iu the vicinity of Lewistown.
Hunting With Prince.
Mr. H. G. Thomas who is now at
Stockholm, Sweden, writes to his fa
ther-in-law, Mr. C. F. Heller, of this
oity, that he bad the pleasure of hunt
ing with King Oscar's son,the Prince.
He wri res that they killed three fine
deer, and a lot of other game. Mr.
Thomas had the deer heads staffed and
sent them to bis home in Portland,

be in this oity for Christmas.

GOUDRIGH POST
ENTERTAINS
G. A. R. Hall, Monday evening was
packed to the doors with an auimated
assemblage of ladies and gentlemen.
The rather unusual occasion was cue
iu which some seventy-five people from
Btoomßburg, representing organiza
tions closely related to the G. A. R.
were being entertained by Goodrich
Host, No. 22.
The visiting delegation was com
posed of Col. Ent Post, No. 250, G.
A. R., twenty-five strong, the Ladies'
Circle, No. 63, G. A. R., and Captain
Brockway Camp, No. 270,50ns of Vet
erans,each of the two latter organiza
tions also comprising twenty-live per
sons. The Ploomsburg people reached
the Post room about 8 o'clock, while
Goodrich Post, No. 22. was holding a
regular session.
About 8:30 Post Commander Hed
dens called a recess for the purpose of
receiving the visitors. By the time all
were seated the hall was tilled and a
good many were left standing iu the
vestibule.
One hour was spent in speech-mak
ing, the first speaker being J. H. Fahr
inger, Commauder of Ent Post, No.
250, who made some very happy re
marks.
He was followed by Rev R. W.
Whitney and M. P. Lutz, members of
Ent Post, who iu brief, though witty
and good natured addresses, at once
awoke a fraternal spirit aud set the
pace fort Lie evening.
Thomas Sanders, of Goodrich Post,
No. 22, who was introduced as a vet
eran nearly 90 years of age, was the
uext speaker and very well indeed did
he aoquit himself. He amused the
audience by relating some camp ex
periences. notably one in which the
soldiers "borrowed" fifty chickens, of
some farmers along with a correspond
ing number of ducks and geese. He
explained how they got rid of the
feathers aud then how they cooked the
fowls in a big camp kettle of "sever
al barrels' " oapacity. The dish took
the form of an enormous pot-pie,which
fed the whole company.
Thomas struck the keynote by in
troducing the subject of chickeus aud
from that on till the close there was
not au address in which the subject of
"chicken"' did not play au important
part.
Other speakers were: C. S. Forn
wald, George W. Sterner, who brought
down the house with a good story a id
later recited a spirited poem ; W. O.
Holmes and George B'ornwald.ttie lat
ter Captain of the Sous of Veterans'
Camp of Bloomsburg; Dr. P. C New
baker, iJ. R. Williams and John Pat
ton of this city,the latter Commander
of the Sons of Veterans' Camp of Dan
ville.
Mrs. Sloan, Secretary of the Ladies'
Circle G. A. R., of Hloomsburg also
made some brief remarks.
About 9:30 o'clock refreshments were
served to all present, alter which a
social hour was spent.
WORKS WONDERS.
A Wonderful OompouDd -Oures Piles, Ec
zema. Skin Itching, Skin Eruptions,
Outs and Bruises.
Doan's Ointment is the best 6kiun
treatment, and the cheapest, because
so little is required to cure. It cures
piles after years of torture. It cures
obstinate cases of eczema. It cures all
skiu itching. It cures skin eruptions.
It heals cuts, bruises, scratches and
abrasions without leaving a sacar. It
cures permanently, Danville testimony
proves it.
D. C. Williams, slater, of 204 Lower
Mulberry street, says:"l used Doan's
Ointment some years ago and found it
a most excellent remedy for the pur
pose for which it is intended. It is the
only remedy I ever found which gave
me permanent relief from itching piles
from which I had suffered for a long
time. Anyone who has ever had piles
knows what suffering I endured before
I used Doan's Ointment. The burning
and itching was almost intolerable
night and day, and although I tried
dozens of ointments, salves aud lotions
I got no relief. 1 heard so much about
Doan's Ointmeut that I procured a
box. The first application gave me al
most instant relief and in a short time
I was cured. That was eight years
ago and I have had no return of ttie
exasperating affliction since. I recom
mend Doan's Kidney Pills highly."

M9RTGAOG BIIBNED
AT CHURCH
Sunday eve was a season of rejoic
ing at the United Evangelical church.
After au appropriate sermon bv the
pastor, Rev. E. B. Dunn, fro/u the
text, Ist Samuel, 7-12, " Hitherto hath
the Lord helped ui," the Trustees of
the church,stauding in the altar hold
ing the platter, the pastor set fire to a
mortgage that had for years encumb
ered the congregation, and as the
flames ascended, the assemblage sang
with zeal, "Prais-e Go 1 from Whom
all blessings flow."
Then iu a few brief aud well chosen
remarks the pastor declared the Unit
ed Evangelical church, of Danville,
free from debt.
A brief synopsis of the church in
Danville will he of interest to many
readers.
The ministers of the Evangelical As
sociation of North America.for a num
ber of years preached in the vicinity
of Danville, and at certain times had
regular appointments in the town ;they
were however discontinued, until the
year 1867, when Danville was taken
up as a mission and Rev. H. A. Stoke
was stationed here as pastor in charge.
He labored here for two years, during
which time a splendid revival was
held, a class or society was formed,
aud a subscription circulated to se
cure funds to huild a church. The
building however was delayed, aud
many of the class wandered away and
united with other churches. In tiie
spring of 1869 Rev. W. H. Davis, was
stationed here us pastor; he immedi
ately set about building the church,
and was suocessful, the church being
dedicated to the worship of God the
same year, 1869. The building,however
was heavily encumbered with debt
for many years.
Up to tit's tiiui no regular Quarter
ly Conference had been established for
reasons not necessary to mention here
at tiiis time,however,a regular Quart
erly Conference was held by the Pre
siding Elder of the District. Iu the
spring of 1870 Rev. W. H. Davis, was
returned as pastor and during that
year perfected the organization and
the rpgular Quarterly Conferinces
have beeu held quarterly ever since.
Gradually the debt was wiped out,and
for several years the charge was self
supporting.
In March 1883, Rev. 11. A Stoke
was reappointed pastor, an i in April
1889 a movenieut wa« started to build
a parsonage. The effort was success
ful aud the parsonage was built This
again encumbered tha congregation
with debt, from which it was uot free
until last evening. It is more thau
probable the debt would have beeu
paid long ago but for the fact, that iu
1894 there came a division in the en
tire church both iu this aud other
countries,the two factions at the time
were known a< the Esher and Dubs
factions. The supreme court of this
state iu deciding property rights be
tween the two factions, gave all the
property to the Esher Faction.but de
clared in the same decision, that the
"Dubs faction was morally iu the
right" and placed the cost of proceed
ings on Esher. Congregation- as a re
sult, here as everywhere else, found
it necessary to repurchase the property
which they had once built and paid
for. Many became discouraged and fcr
years nothing was dgne toward wip
ing out the old debt. Since the divis
ion, the church is no longer known as
the Evangelical Association of North
America.but as the United Evangelic
al Church, and is now an incorporat
ed bod v.
The pastors that have served the
Danville congregation siucn its origin
in 18ft7, are as follows: Revs. II A.
Stoke, H. W. Davis, W. E. Detwiler,
H. W. Buck,P. S. Orwig.P. W. Raida
baugh.J. M. Brader.A. S. Baumgard
ner, H. A. Stoke, (second term),J. F.
Dunlap.S. S. Mumey.J. G. Whitmire,
,1. K. Hower aud E. B. Dunn, the pres
ent pastor.
Rev. J. F. Ho.ver daring his past
orate did most excellent work, and
succeeded iu cancelling SM7S of the
old debt. Rev. Dunn succeeded him
in the spring of 1902, when there still
remaiued $50,000 on the old debt,
which amount has now been paid iu
full and the property valued at $4,500,
is unincumbered.
Notwithstanding the many draw
backs and struggles of this little con
gregation, it has prospered, and its
prosperity lias been shared by neaily
all the cl.relies of the community, as
in nearly all the congregations are
those who cu ne through this mission.
The congregation now numbers
about 150 members,and while they re
joice iu the fact that they are free
from the burden of the old debt, they
feel that they need a new, larger and
more modern church built iu a better
location, and they are hoping that in
the near future they will see their
n<*eds fulfilled. Their untiring, un
ited zeal and faith, their determined
courage, will surely crown their ef
forts with success and give them in a
few more years a better place worship.
Struck Vein of Coal.
Men digging for coal at Mt. Patrick,
near Millershurg, have struck a vein
twenty-two indies in thickness, with
prospects of the vein becoiniug thick
er. The coal as of the white ash var
iety and of good quality. Copper has
also been taken from the top of the
vein, and Mr. Ashley Cook,of Lykms,
who is managing the digging for the
dusky diamonds is pleased with the
outlook and says there will be coal in
abundance. The party at the head of
the work is ,T. S. McDonald & Co , of
Haiti more, Md., who have now had
! men at work for several weeks.
$150,000 for Tioga Celery.
The gathering of a record-breaking
oelery crop in the famous Stofcesdale
fields, in Tinga county, has just been
completed, i'here were 500 carloads
of celery shipped from Htokesdale and
Nilcs valley combined.
The celery, aboard cars, packed in
crates, brought the growers $-iOO a car
low), representing an aggregate of
1150,000 from Tioga county c»l«ry
fields. Most of the cilery went to New
York and Philadt lphia.

ULD FOLKS' OA!
AT ST. PAULS
Old Folks' Day was observed Sun
day at St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal
church with a series of charmingly
appropriate, interesting and helpful
services, which began at 9:30 in the
morning with a Love Feast aud con
tiuaed throughout the day, closing in
the evening with the regular 7:30 ser
vice, at which Rev. Richard Hinkle,
of York,preached a sermon that m irk
ed the beginning of the second week
of revival services at St. Paul's.
For the occasion of Oid Folks' Day,
the altar was beautifully decked with
many of the food staples and delica
cies. The tempting jars of canned
fruit aud preserves,the generous array
of corn,pumpkins aud apples, garnish
ed gracefully with many bouquets of
chrysanthemums, was a vision well
calculated to thrill, with the abund
ance of God's love,the hearts of thise
who are approaching so near to their
rewards.
The principal service of the day was
at. 10:30 in the morning A larg'3 con
gregation a'teuded this service,includ
ing many of the older members who
were taken to and from the church iu
automobiles aud a carriage The be
nevolent collections, with the excep
tion of the missionary collection, were
lifted and each oft/ie old folks, who
attended the service, was presented
with a bouquet of flowers.
Rev. Richard Hinkle's discourse was
founded on the thoughts contained in
the 13th, 13th aud 14th verses of the
92nd Psalm: "The righteous shall
Hourish as the palm tree; In shall
gtow like a cedar in Lebinon. Those
th*t be planted in the house of ttie
Lord shall flourish in the courts of
God. They shall still bring forth fruit
in old age: they shall be fat and flour
ishing." It was a sweet but masterful
sermon, preached to the old folks by
an old man who has become gray in
the service of the Master.
Rev. Hinkle said that many old peo
ple have a tendency to be alone and
to become out of sympathy with the
younger generations. He urged them
to keep up their interest in the affairs
of their children, to keep in touch
with the times—in a word, not to live
in the past but in the present. He told
them also that in order to have a hap
py old age they must be at peace with
God and man, and urged to them the
nece.-sity of knowing that their p. ace
with God is made.
Iu the afternoon Decision Day and
Missionary Day was observed at the
Sunday School, and a program especi-
ally prepareil by the Missionary Com
mittee was rendered. The regular
monthly missionary collection amount
ed to #18.50. The Epworth League
held a revival service at fi :30.
Hlectric Signals (irow Hrratic.
The electric signal system establish
ed at the Center and the Spruce street
crossings of the P. & R. Railway seem
to be hoodooed in some way. The belts
have been a source of trouble ever
siuce they were installed—quite as
much so to the Railway Companv it
self as to the residents in the vicinity,
who found fault wi'li th-ir incessant
clamor.
No sooner did the company call tin
bells otf at night so that the people
could sleep within a radius of a couple
of squares, than the signals began to
practice their erratic couduct in the
daytime. Monday morning they be
gan to riii,! and train or no train they
kept on ringing in a way that showed
they intended to furnish music all day
long.
There wa« no alternative buttoshi.t
the signals otf and to install a watch
man. One man, stationed at Center
street, was made to answer for both
crossings. When a train approached
he merely tinned on the signals and
permitted them to ring until the train
was over the Spruce street crossing,
when he turued them off. The watch
man was still on duty yesterday manip
ulating the bells as above described
They were t-1i 11 anxiously awaiting
the arrival of the Company's electri
cian to see what the trouble is with
the bells. Thus far their erratic ring
ing has puzzled those in charge very
much

BEAM PUPILS
Tlie Danville High School foot ball
team pot up a clean, nervy struggle
Saturday against an eleven that travel
ed under the name of the Watsontown
High School, but which was perhaps
more representative of an iron mill or
a wood choppers camp than of an in
stitution of learning.
The average weight of the Danville
eleven is 140 pounds and some of the
boys on the team are uot over 1-1 years
of aae, and all of them are now going
to the Danville High School. The team
that opposed them on Saturday and
that represented the Watson town High
School,weighed at least 1(50 pounds to
the man, anl a nnuiber had several
tiays' growth of heavy beard on their
faces. One man when asked what
course lie was taking at the Watson
town High School did not seem to
know what a course was. Another has
been an employe at the American Oar
& Foundry Go's plant at Berwick,
and still another, Weaver,has played on
the professional "Buffalo*," of San•
bury.
Nevertheless the local eleven acquit
ted themselves nobly, and played the
Watsontown High School athletic
sharks to a standstill. The hero of tlie
day was Maurice Druifnss, Danville's
right. half hack, whose kicking and
line plunging was spectacular.
The visitors made one goal in the
first half. Score sto 0.

Buying Supplies tor hospital.
Our townsmen W. L. Gouger and
11. M. Schoch, who compose the sup
ply conmittee of the Hoard of Trus
tees of the Hospital for the Insane
spent vest rday at that institution in
the interest of some purchases needed
to keep the big house running.
Messrs. Goager and Schoch both be
ing in the mercantile busings prove
well adapted to the purchasing of sup
(lies. Jheir b isiness at tho Hospital
yesterday «iti to look over a large
number ot samples and to place an
order for coffee. Lift to guess iast
how much of essential article of
diet is needed at the Hospital each
year the readi r would no doubt go
wide of the mark.
;;The orders placed yesterday were
fur i-ix months un i represented just
ten thousand pounds For a year, of
course just double that quantity is re
quired—twenty thousand pounds or
tMI tous. S me fifty-five pounds are
consumed daily.
The Hospital uses one or other
brands of Kio coffee. The patients are
very partieul ir about tie ir coffee and
unless it is of a strong sort they are
apt to accme the institution of serv
ing a diluted article.
It costs something like a quarter of
a million of dollars a year to meet the
running expenses of the Hospital lot
the Insane and that a very big item of
this goes for coffee is quite evident.
Han's Unreasonableness.

Boy Bitten by Dog.
Joseph Seaman, a boy attending the
First Ward school, was bitten by a
dog yesterday about noon. The wouud
was cauterized and the dog later in
the day was shot.
According tot e story told tiie boy
was walking along East Mahoning
«treet when the dog, which was lying
on the porch of oue of the houses,
sprang out and seized him by the
cheek causing a rather bad wound.
The l oy, who lives iu Grove's Oourt,
liuriied home where his injury receiv
ed attention. Later the matter was
reported to the police.
The dog was owned by a family
which lives iu the country at present,
tie was of the yellow variety aud not
espeoiallv prepossessing in appearance.
Nevertheless the residents of that part
of town were not disposed to speak
illy of hioi and gave him credit for
being very gentle and playful when
about children.
The dog wanted was found by the
officers standing at the corner of Mill
and East Market streets about four
o'clock. The dig revealed no vicious
qualities and seemed verv anxious to
make friends with the Uhief-of-Police
as the latter slipped the rope around
his neck, with which he was to be led
otf to the place of execution, for sent
ence had already been passed upon the
dog audit was decided that he must
die.
It is hardly necessary to state that
the sentence was carried out aud the
homeless dog went the way of all curs
that ta'l under the tan.

RUNS CLOSED CU;
The Danville Hiid Suuhuty Street
Kailway Company lian putaclosert car
on its liue, which is most highly ap
preciated by the traveling public, es
pecially those who wish to crosß the
bridge or pass to and fro between
town and the Hospital for the Insane.
The Danville and Sanbary Electric
Railway Company has hal c'o-ei cus
ordered for some time, but a-; is apt to
occur in these busy times much delay
has ensued. U O. Yetter, Esq , ha
come to the rescue,however.and in or
der to make travel comfortable for tl e
present has secured a closed car of the
Columbia and Montour Company. If
is of a kind peculiar to that liue with
a seat on eacli side running parallel
with the car. It was brought down
over the Danville and Bloomsburg line
late Saturday afternoon accompanied
by Mr. Yetter and William Terwillig
er, the latter Superintendent of the
Columbia and Montour line.
Quite a spectacular performance was
involved in getting the car from the
present termiuus of the Dauvillo and
Bloomsburg liue opposite J. H. Cole's
Hardware store, to tiie Danville and
Suubury tracK at the corner of Mill and
Market streets. While the track—be
longing to the Danville and Bloom
burg Oompauy -is laid on Mill street
between the two points above named,
owing to the hold-up at the D. L. &
W. crossing, tho overhead work la<
uevt r been completed. The rail* prov
ed a valuable assistance iu moving the
car but electricity could not be brought
into play as a motive power. in lieu
thereof t»vo stout horses were hitched
to the car iu frout, while about foity
boys with a free ride iu prospoet took
hold of the car behind and at the sides
aud helped to push it along.
This was about six o'clock. The <ar
attracted much attention, no one los
ing sight of the fact that it was the
rfist trolley car that had ever passed
through Mill street. A good many
thought that the fact that a tiolley
car had after all crossed the D. L. &
W. tracks ought to he signalized 111
some way. The frog laid down in the
face of so much protest was found to
answer admirably and the first trolley
car that parsed rolled over it with
very little jar.
The closed car was immediately
pressed into service aud ca ried a good
many passengers ou Saturday night.
It is au improvement immense!? ap
preciated by the public, who h ivo no
desire to face the rigors of the ueith
er on the big iron bridge at this pea
son of the year. It would have to he
an exceptional day indeed w hen a pet

point.
