Superintendent. twelve yens i# PENITENTIARY David Barrett, who j leaded guilty to the charge of assault and batteiy with intent to rob aud assault and battery with intent to kill in connec tion with tbe daring hold-up at the hotel of W. H. N. Walker on tbe night of July 3rd, was Tuesday afternoon sentenced by Judge Staples to twelve years, imprisonment in tbe Eastern Penitentiary. It was evidently more than he ex pected. During court his demeanor has not been that of one who felt the least touch of remorse or realized to any extent the positiou he was in. Even his aged mother, iu her deep grief an object of pity to everyone else, seemed to affect him little, if at all. About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Barrett was called before the bar. Be fore passing sentence Judge Staples ful ly explained the situation and if Bar rett was in the least discerning from he very first he must have noticed from the Judge's manner and his tone that there was very little hope for clemency. The Court reaiiuded him of the grave nature of his offense and how near it came to being murder. Allud ing to the fact that lie had been guilty of a similar offense before and had been sentenced to a long term of im prisonment. Judge Staples frankly told htm that he was unable to understand his composition that past experience should avail so little and that he should turn right around and resume a career of crime. He alluded to the fact that kind friends believing that he had been punished sufficiently aud hoping that he would begin a new life had Interceded in his behalf aud secured his pardon wheu a little over four years had been served in the peniten tiary. In the light of what had occurred Judge Staples told him it was clear that imprisonment would not work his reform. It was necessary, how ever,that he should be imprisoned,for so long as he was at la e the com munity was In danger. Inasmuch as this was the second conviction ?nder the law the Court could double the maximum sentence. The sentence of the Court was: That David Barrett pay the costs of prosecution,a fine of ten dollars to the Commonwealth for the use of Montour county and undergo imprisonment in separate and solitary oonfinement at labor in th 6 Eastern Penitentiary at Philadelphia for a period of twelve years dating from yesterday. In con clusion the Court told Barrett he coold Just as easily have given him twenty years. As the sentence of twelve years was pronounced and he fullv realized what all it implied Barrett fairly stagger ed. For tiie first time he seemed to be Tisibly affected. Pale as a ghost he made his way up to the bar and plead- Jngly assed some question relating to the time spent in jail. Very sternly the Judge leplied but the information obtained evidently afforded him little consolation. District Deputy Visits Danville. One of the most important events in the history of Danville Lodge, No. 754, B. P. O. EIKS. was the visit on Monday evening of District Deputy Exalted Rulei Fred C. Hand,of Scran ton. Monday wan the regular meeting night of the lodge, but more than the usual number of members turned out. After the regular business meeting at which new members were elected, a social session was held. Refreshments were served and several hours very pleasantly spent. Mr. Haud congratu lated the local lodge upon its success ful career during the few years of itß existence,and predicted for it a bright and prosperous future. The District Deputy was especially well pleased with the fine quarters iu the Grone Building. District Deputy Hand is a member of Scranton Lodge, No. 123,0ne of the most prosperous in Pennsylvania. Those who have visited the Scranton Lodge will remember the hospitality reoeived there. The Scranton Lodge has a fine home and a large member ship. No. 123 is always in prominence at Grand Lodge meetings, and takes a deep interest in the organization at large, Although Mr. Hand wa* personally known to but few of the members of the Danville lodge his visit on Mon day evening was much enjoyed, and Will long be remembered by looal Elks. THti BIDS WtRB NOT ORBNED Friday was the (late set for awarding the contract for the build in# of the Heat, Light ana Power plant at the Hospital for the Insane. The trustees of the institution held their meeting but the contract was not awarded ; neither were the bias open j ed. The meeting was the regular mouth , ly oue usually held on Thursday, but which in the preseut instance was ' postponed oue day later in order to j consider the matter of bids, which were advertised to be opened on that date. The following members of the board were present at the meeting: W. L. Gouger, H. M Sohoch.of Dan ville; Hon. Alexander Blllmeyer, of Washiugtonville; Dr. 8. H. Detwiler, ,of Williamsport; Howard Lyon, of Hughesville; W. F. Shay, of Watsou ! town ; Hon. M. H. Kulp.of Shamokin, and Dr. Shoemaker, of Wilkes-Barre. There were a large number of bids jou hand and as the contract was a very important oue, representing an appropriation of $91,000, the bidders were all on hand anxious to see what torn event-i might take. The group of bidders were much disappointed when they found that the contract would not be awarded. The trustees explained their course in not opening the bids on the ground I that they desire to add a few tilings I omitted in the specifications and to rearrange the location of some of the appurtenances. Their plan is after making the changes to re-advertise for i bids, no dates at present being decid ed upon. Ot course, considering the lateness of the season and the amount of preliminary work that remains to be done it does not seem likely that much will be done on tiie new work before next spring. The committee appointed to get rid of the 1,200 wooden beds displaced by the more modern iron beds that are being installed could do little more than report progress. With the excep tion of a few beds disposed of to poor districts, here and there, the beds are still at the institution. The conclu sion was reached yesterday that to comply with the law the beds will have to be advertised for sale and sold for what they will bring. There will no doubt be bargains for some one, as the beds are a first class article -made of walnut wood and equipped with a speoial spring, which combines dur ability and the other qualities that go to make an easy bed. All Records Broken. Business on trie Sunbury, Hazleton aud Wilkes-Barre division of the Pennsylvania railroad between Sun bury aud Wilkes-Barre has broken all records in the history of the company, aud tbe alleviating of the congested and overtaxed couditions is causing the officials of the oompauy no little concern.

Reefer aud other officials left Sunbury for a trip over the divis ion to investigate the couoitions to see if something cannot be done to facilitate the movement of trains and improve the service. The special pass ed South Danville at about 9 o'clock. The party stopped over at Wilkes- Barre last night and will return to Suubury today. The enormity of the road's business can best be imagiued when it is known that from six to eight thousand cars are interchauged aaily in the Wilkes- Barre yard. At present close onto twenty-two hundred men are employed on the division, which is an increase of over five hundred when compared with the same month last year. Engineers and others are working overtime and many promotions are being made and new men employed. Several engineers will draw checks for sums ranging bet ween a hundred and eighty and two hun dred dollars this month,while a check for one hundred will be issued to more thau one brakeman.

November 15th to 30th being legal open season for deer in Pennsylvania great preparations are being made by the hunters of this section who antici pate a successful campaign against the most noble game in the Common wealth. Capt. William of the South Side, has marshaled a party of well seasoned and experienced men, whose qualifications before the target as well as iu the field are so well known as to necessitate no comment The party which will leave foi the White Deer Mountains next Saturday consists of D R. Eckman.J. W. Treas, Major C. P. Gearliart.James Murphy, Dr. N. M. Smith, David Spotts and others. They will not return uutil the end of the season. H. L. DeWitt.the uniformly succes sful still hunter, will leave for the wilds of central Pennsylvania to join the pirty on November 19th aud will remain the balance of the season. He has made a special study of deer in their native haunts,and has concluded that still hunters, as a rule, are more successful, and less liable to receive a bullet from the rifle of a reckless ten derfoot who blazes away at a shaking brush, than those who follow the old er custom of watch and drive. Success ful still hunting,however, is a science that cannot be taught but must be acquired. *»* Every Ounce You Bat. Every ounce of food you eat that fails to digest does a pound of harm.

The Shamokin team was much too light to successfully cope with Dan ville's heavier players, and this gave them a heavy handicap at the start. In addition to this they played very slow ly. Their passing was sluggish and their attack work lacked zeal. As to their ability as tossers, they did not have much opportunity to prove their worth in that capacity. The playing of the Danville team was, with several exceptions good. Sechler's basket tossing was the feat ure of the game.

CHARLES SNYDER LAID TO REST The remains of Charles Snyder i the engineer who lost his life in the dreadful wreck at Hunlock's Creek on Wednesday, were laid iu the grave at Odd Fellows' cemetery, this city, ou Saturday afternoou. The interment was most impressive and was attended by a largo number of persons from Northumberland,Blootmburg and oth er towns. Charles Snyder was a son-in-law of Theodore Hoffman, Sr., of this city and it was owing to this circomstance that Danville was selected as his bur ial place, although the deceased had been a lesident of Northumberland since his mairiage, seventeen years ago. Funeral services were held at the late home in Northumberland at 12:30 p. m., Saturday, three clergymen as sisting—Kev. Botsford of the Luther an church, Rev. Grant of the Presby terian church, Northumberland, and Rev. Warner, Lutheran clergyman, of Seliusgrove. The funeral party with the remains boarded the afternoon passenger train, which arrives here at 2:11 o'clock and proceeded directly to the Odd Fellows' cemetery, where iuter meut was made. Rev M. L. Shiudel, D. D., of this city, officiated at the grave. The pall hearers were selected from among the Firemen's Brother hood, of which the deceased was a member. A good many railroad men accompanied the remain to Danville besides relatives and other". In addition to the widow and adopt ed daughter a brother and two sisters of the deceased were preseut at the funeral The former was Thomas Suy der, of Zahner's, who was accompani ed by his wife ; the two latter, Mrs. Harry Thomas and Mrs. Lewis Heini, of Kingston, both of whom were ac companied by their husbands. Others present were: Miss Alice Everitt and Mrs. Jane Hamilton, of Pottsville; Mrs. Kate Kaslow. of Sunbury; Mrs. Stoffard, of Watsontown; Mrs. Hall ani Mrs. John Suyder, of Shamokin; Mr. and Mrs. W'allie Eut, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Sleppy,Mrs. Anna Ever hard, of Northumberland; Reber Mears, Elmer Mears, Charles Reice, Irvin Snyder and the two Derr broth ers. of Bioomsbure. The turnout at the funoral was in itself a fine testimonial to the general high esteem iu which the deceased was held. Whether those iu other walks of life, who only knew him so cially, or the fellow railroaders pres ent,who had worked by his side every one had a kind word to say for him and expressed unfiegned sorrow at his sad and untimely death The deceased was forty yeais of age. For twenty-four years he had been on the D. Ti. W. Railroad aud it was his proud that he had a clear record—had never been called to an swer for a fault of any ki.id. He was known among his fellow workmen as a careful man aud trie railroaders pres ent a' the funeral made no secret of the fact that it was their firm convic tion that the engineer was disabled that he was stricken in some way and that he was either dead or unconscious for some time before the two trains came together.

Court conven d yesterday morning at 9 o'clock. At 9:30 it adjourned to reconvene on Novtmber 23rd at 10 a. m. In the half hour that Court was in session a good deal of was disposed of. The jury iu the case of Commonwealth vs. Elmer Halderman, indicted for assault aud battery with attempt to rob, which readied an agreement about 11 o'clock Tuesday night, was in Court ready to report. Halderman had made a strenuous at tempt to establish an alibi and there was curiosity to know how the jury regattled the testimony. At the ring ing of the bell rather more than the usual number of people streamed i n to the Court House. The Court took the verdict, which was to the effect that the jury found the defendant guilty in mauuer aud form as indicted, but recommeuded him to the mercy of the Court. Halderman was immediately called before the bar. Judge Staples before passing tienteuce talked to Halderman in a way that touched the hearts of everyone present. A question from the Court brought out the fact that th* defendant is only twenty-one years of age. He is a rather handsome, finely proportioned young fellow. turther questions from the Court brought- out the admissions that he had been before the Court before for receiving money ; under false pretenses and that sentence had been suspended; [also that he had beeu a n verier from the United States Army. hi regard to the latter offense lie ai-ke.i to explain gome extenuating circuiti-i inces. lie laid the whole mat ter to h s youth and the fact that Army lild had been falsely represent ed to him. He was only sixteen years old. lie slid, wtien he enlitted. .Tudgi Staples told him that he very much d iikid to send a young man like hiu: to prison, but as Judge he had a duty to perform, and had to conform with the demands of Justice. He a'ivt rt-d to the fact that the jury had rec nnended him to the mercy of the Cm.: .but he reminded Haldermao that wi u lie vsas before the Court on tlic previous occasiou clemency had hi nis rcised in his favor but that he had utt' ily failed to prc.fifc by the ln ln the present case Judge Staples informed him that he had fail ed to establish an alibi and the Court themselv s believed him guilty. The jury ptobably had not bet n informed of the ( emency shown by the Court in hi< c-H-e in the past. At all events as ma?; s stood the recommendation for men y could avail but little. The - nti nee of the Court was : That Elmer ({alderman", pay the costs of prosecution in the case; a fine of tea dollars to the Commonwealth of Penn sylvania for the use of the County of Montom ; that he undergo imprison ment in the Eastern Penitentiary at Philade plna for a period of five years at sepai ite and solitary confinement at labor to be computed from yester day am! to stand committed until the sentem i is complied with. Elinn Halderman along with John dees phaded guilty on Tuesday to the charge cf attempting to break jail. While Halderman remained standing sememe was imposed for that offense. It was a* tc llows : That Elmer Halderman undergo ao impri-rnmi nt at separate and solitary confinement at labor in the Eastern Peuitemtiary at Philadelphia for a term of one year to be computed from the expiratiou sentence above impo-e : and to stand committed until the seiretice is complied with. The Court admonished Halderman I to be careful of his conduct in prison, explaining to him that under the law , of commutation good behavior in the peniti r.tiary would bring its own re ward and that it was in his power tl.u- ro reduce the time for which he wa- sentenced twenty-thr e months. John Sees in whose case on motion of Cha-let V. Amerman, an indict ni'nt involving the charge of murder was quiisl.ed, Tuesday, and who along with Halderman pleaded guilty to at ' temrting to break jail, was next call* ■ ed b fore the bar for sentence. Jn Ige Staples informed Sees that 1 the Court was inclined to believe that he had been drawn into the conspiracy ' to at rem 11 to break jail. He had done [ well by pleading guilty, thereby spar -1 ing l ie county the trouble and ex : p ns of establishing his guilt. On ttie ' whole the Court was inclined to be lenieut. The sentence was: That John Sees undergo an imprison m nt in the jail in the County of Mon r rour for a period of six months to be 0 imputed from yesterday and that he " stand committed until the seutence ia corn pi i< (1 with. As Sees took his seat he turned and: thanked the Court. .ludjie Staples took occasion to ad vert to the rumor that a hold-up had . occurred in Danville and that although the highwayman was known no ar - rests li id been made iu the case. This, he declared was a grave neglect, es -1 pf cially iu view of the fact that a ureat wave of crime is sweeping over - this part of the State. He made some inquiry as to how Danville is equipped with police and later turning to Chief M Minceiuoyer directed him to investi gate the matter and if the facts war . rant it to swear out a warrant and. have the would-be highwayman ar* fj rested. Mr. Scarlet on behalf of the Mon tour County bar presented a petition i to Court asking that th.< term of Dec ptnbcr Court, which convenes on the' fourth Monday of the month— Chri«t --j iu as D.iy —be changed to the second . week in January. Judge Staples said that he will fee Judge Little about . the master. He himself favors the . change. He said he would not hold Court on Christmas Dar and he doea. not think there should be any court ou Christmas week. An order making; the change as petitioned for will prob^ ablv be made later, 112 " 112 But Few Are Free.
