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.
Yesterday moming a special train
carrying General Superintendent My
ers, of Williamsport, Division Super
intendent Alliboue, Trainmaster J. H.
Swenk,Engineer Carl Heimeyer,Chief
Clerk W. F. 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.

ville,but who has been wanted by the
police of Bloomsburg aud at least oue
other town for some time past, was

Gorgas has been out of town for
some time past. About 2 o'clock yes
terday morning Chief Mincemoyer re
ceived a tip that Gorgas was in town

South Siders (io Hunting.
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. *»*

Shamokin Was liasy.
Five players of the Montour Basket
Ball Association amused themselves
Friday night at the Armory Hall with
the team representing the Shamokiu
V. M. C. A. Score, Danville 14, Sha
mokin 'J.
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. He threw them from
all sorts of places and positions, fall
ing but two short of having as many
baskets to his credit as the other four
players put together.

Danville. Shamokin.

Fixing Track for Winter.
The Danville and Sunbury Street
Railway Company is fixing up its
Hue forjwinter. Yesteidav men were
employed in filling up the track on
the approach to the iver bridge on
the South Side. The ground had be
come washed out from the temporary
crib work of ties u«i d to support the
track on the unfinished approach. As
repaired the track is not only in bet
ter condition for the trolley but it
forms a siuoth and ea«y walk for pe
destrians, who are wholly indented to
the trolley company for a safe and
convenient means of getting up and
down over the treacherous approach
As winter approaches the warm and
easy ridiug trolley car is much in de

casiou to cross the bridge. l'he car
does good business, not only among
jiersons who meet trains on the South
Side but also among those who visit

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.

9 Divid Barrett being 112 ailed | o the
stand testified that Halderman was not
present 011 the night of the hold up at
Walker's. He was with Halderman
and others at the D. L. & W. station
aud corroborated his story as to tliu
drinking. Immediately after leaving
Halderman Barrett said he himself
fell in with a couple of strangers who
induced him to drink eome whiskey,
as the result of which he became oh
livious of his movements from then on
and is unable to account for anything
until the uext morning when he fouud
himself in iail.
Barrett was followed by John Weir,
who testified that Halderman was at
his store on Mill street,until after the
hour of the attack at Walker's hotel
on the niaht of July 3rd.
John Seitz was hroogiit down from
jail to testify. He said he spent the
night of July 3rd in company with
Elmer Halderman and corroborated
the latter's testimony tending to prove
an alibi.
Seitz was followed on the stand by
Sarah Halderman, sister of the de
fendant, who testified that she saw
her brother, Elmer Halderman, in
; front of Weir's store, Mill street, ou
the night of July 3rd, about the time

The court reudered a rather lengthy
charge and the case was giveu to thn
jury at 3 o'clock.
The last case on the list was that of
Commonwealth vs. John Sees, Elmer
Halderman and David Barrett, the
charge being "Attempted Jail Break

guilty to the charge. The case with
i Barrett as defendant went on trial at
j 3 o'clock.
George Maiers. Sheriff, was called
to the stand. He related all the cir
cumstances of the affair, are
well known to the reading public.
The Sheriff was followed by George
Crossley who described the plot.which
he alleged, was laid by the prisoners,
to escape, involving an assault upon
the Sheriff, all of which our leaders
are likewise familiar with.
At the conclusion of Crossley's testi
mony the Court learning that there
were no more witnesses to follow call
ed a halt in the proceedings, drclar
ing that in his opinion there was not
sufficient evidence to implirate Bar
rett in the attempt to break jail and

of "not guilty," which was done with
out leaving the s-jat*. At -1:15 o'clock

WEDNESDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.
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^
