UNION THANKS GIVING SERVICE The Union Thanksgiving service will be held in the Mahoning Presby terian church aud the st rmon will be preached by Rev. W. O McCormack. D. D.. pastor of Grove Presbyterian ohnrch. This.it is true,does not accord with the announcement made by the Dan ville Ministerial Association a mouth ago, which stated that the services would be held iu the Grove Presbyter ian church an 1 that tlis Ryv. J. E. Hatchi-on, pastor of Mahoning Pres byterian church, would preach the ser moil. At thi meeting of the Minister ial Suoiety yesterday the plans were changed as stated iu theopeuiug para graph. Rev. Hutchison, it appears, was not present wheu he was selected to preach the Thankogiving sermon. He has since discovered that owing to the pressure of engagements it will bj im possible for him to accept the honor and he has declined. The preaching of the Uuion Thanksgiving sermon, therefore,devolves upon Rev. Dr. Mc- Oormack, who was chosen as alter nate when Rev. J. E. Hutchison was selected to preach. As is customary the church selected for the Thanksgiv ing service lies on the opposite side of town from where ths pastor who is to praeoh resides. The Mahoning Presbyterian church it a fine commodious edifice aud will accommodate a large coiigreg itiou, such as will probably assemble to hear the Thanksgiving sermou. The entire program for the service is in the hands of Rev. J. E. Hutchison, the pastor. The olergy are desirous that the Thanksgiving offering, which will of course represent all the clinches, this year be something quite handsome, iu keeping with the general prosperity of the times. It will be turned over to the Woman's Benevolent Associa tion of Danville, who will m »ke judi cious use of it in aidiug the worthy poor. The following officers yesterday were eleoted by the Ministerial Asso nation for the ensuing year: President, M. L. Shindel; Vice President, Rev. W. O. McOormack, D. D. ; Secretary, Rev Johu S'lermau ; Treasurer, R«JV. S. B. Evans. Danville Wins Fast Game. The Moutobr Basket Ball Associa tion five was pitted against a strong aggregation—the Mt. Oarmel team—at the Armory Tuesday, and fast and furious game was the result. The Dan ville boys, however, were too rlever at tossing for the visitors, and won out by a score of 33 to 14. The teams were very eveuly match ed in everything but basket throwing ability.and in this the locals were far in tfee lead. Welliver with 7 baskets and Russell with 5, led the field, toss ing them from seemingly impossible positions. The Mt. Caimel five ex hibited some very clever team work, their quick passing being especially noticeable. They played a hard aud clever, although losing game. A great deal of unnecessary rough ness pervaded the game, thirteen fouls being called during the contest. Both sides were the offenders. Jack Knoblaugh, the Mt. Carmel center, outshone the rest of the visit ing team both in his fast offensive and defensive work, and in his basket throwing. For Danville, Frank Rus sell at guard did the best all around playing, not only preventing his op ponent forward from scoring,but mak ing five tallies himself. The line up: Danville. Mt. Oarmel.

Olarence Heller, of Berwick,return ed Tuesday ev«niug from a hunting trip in the neighborhood of Keating, Pa. He had a ninety pound doe to exhibit as the result of his prowess. A most remarkable incident was figured in by the party of which he was a member. One of the number, William Moore, of Keating, while standing on a fallen tree,, the trunk of which was suppoited several feet from •he ground by branches, saw a deer in the brush. The other members of the party saw him raise his gun to aim, but thought he was joking. At that moment he lost his balance and fell from the elevated tree trunk Midway to the ground the gun was discharg ed. Picking himself up, Moore insisted that he had shot a deer, and while no one believed him, a short search was made with no results. His companions then went on. but Moore refused to leave the locality, and continued to search, and that he was correct in his position was soon demonstrated,as a flue ISO pound buck was found in the bashes, dead from Moore's bullet. GRANGE BANKS HA; BE STARTED Joliu G. McHenry, of Benton, well kuowu throughout this section of the state, is prominently identified with a movement that promises great interest aud importance to members of the Grange. The projeot— which develop ed at Saturday's meeting of the Na tional Grange at Atlantic Oity —is that of the establishment of a Grange national bauk in every county in Penn sylvania, with farmers as its principal stockholders. A press dispatch from Atlantic City says the idea comes iu the form of a carefully prepared report by W. F. Hill.ma-ter ot the Pennsylvania State Grange. With John G McHenry, of Bentoa, president of the Columbia County National bank, as the princip al backer, and with members of Po mona Grange rrf Tioga county.as stock holder! and directors.the idea will be put into practical shape within a few weeks by the organization ot the Grange National bank, of Tioga, in the borough of Tioga. The capitaliza tion of this first bairn has been fixed at #25,000. Of this amount, f.,000 was subscribed by residents of tiie borougli and by farmers who live near it. Its organization will be followed within a few mouths by the foundation of fif teen other grange national banks iu as many counties. Within two years, it is planned to have one grange nation al bauk in each of the forty-five coun ties of Pennsylvania in which the grange Ins a pomona, as the central county graugn is called. All of these banks will feed and be fed by the Grange National bauk of Pennsylvania, which will be estab lished in Pniladelpliia. Organization of this central institution will be per fected after about a dozen of the small er bauks have been established. "It will give to the farmers the use of mouey to finanoe their own im provements,such as rural telephones," said Mr. Hill iu urging the idea. "It will make the individual father more prosperous, and will do wonders to ward advancing the welfare of com munities. Of course, there must be wise and conservative administration of all the affairs of these bauks. They will be independent of each other, but each will have several men upon the board of trustees, who will also be trustees of the other grange banks. This will assure a uniformly aud con servatism of action through all. The amount of capital in each will depend upon the financial resources of the dis trict. Capital out-ide of the grange will be accepted. So certain of suc cess are wo that Mr. McHenry has offered to make a written guarantee to the stockholders of the Grange Na tional bank of Tiogj, that he will buy the stock of any holder who wishes to sell two years after its foundation, at a substantial increase upon the origin al investment." Shot Big Buck. The town of Orangeville yesterday about noon witnessed a most spectacu lar sceue—the entire population was thrown into the wildest excitement, I and running breathlessly about the streets ; ail because a buck weighing over two hundred pounds had been shot on the outskirts of the village. While Perry Montgomery was hunt ing for pheasants on Knob mouutain, three-quarters of a mile from town.he discovered an immense buck. Having nothing bat bird shot, he did not dis turb the animal, but returntd to town for a rifle. Returning to the moun tain. he fortunately found the animal grazing not far from where it was first seen. Montgomery got a good shot and dropped the animal in its tracks. He then came to Orangeville, pro cured a team of hories and wagon, iu which the carcass was brought to the village. When weighed it tipped the scales at 205 pounds. Old hunters who saw the buck declar ed it was the finest specimen they had ever seen. Three prongs on its antlers indicated its age to bo three years. Not long ago a party of hunters on North Mountain disturbed a herd of deer aud as none of these animals had ever been seen before near Orange ville,this cne is thought to have wan dered there from the North Mountain. Dr. Curry Injures Foot. Dr. E. A. Curry is suffering from the effects of a painful wound on his foot sostained yesterday afternoon in a very odd manner. The physician had stepped into the rear of Hunt's drug store aud was standing by the stove. Sime one at tempted to open the stove door, when the latter fell off the hinges aud drop ping to tho floor struck the top of Dr. Curry s foot. The sharp corner of the iron door pierced the leather and the stocking right on top of the joint of the great toe, producing a very pain ful wound. He is just recovering from the ef fects of a had carbuncle on his right hand, so that with the sore foot added he finds it inconvenient to move about although he still manages to look af ter his patients.

FAYETTE FARMER'S 200 MILE TRAMP Because his neighbors are chopping down timber on a rocky tract of 150 acres near Uniontown,Fayette county, which he claims as his property, David Enfield arrived in Harrisburg Friday after having traveled on foot the en tire distance of about 200 miles from his home, to lake steps at the Depart ment of Internal Affairs to make his title clear. Enfield is a sturdy farmer of (50years. The laud he claims constitutes the whole of his woildly wealth. The tract is rough and only good as tim ber laud and his means are so limited that he could not afford to pay car fare. When lie told his story to the sur prised clerks of the Department of In ternal Affairs he attached little im portance to his remarkable feat of pedestrianism, but proceeded to ex plain his case to Deputy Secretary Theodore B. Kline. Back iu 1882 Enfield secured a war rant to the tract, but because of the expense of having the surveys made, he never took out a patent, which lie now desires. The necessary steps to procure the patent were expiaiued to him by Mr. Kliue. Enfield was in the best of health af ter his loug walk during which he passed through eight counties, having gone out of the straight line to see A. R McCarthy, in Huntingdon. Mc- Carthy aud Enfield had jointly taken out the warrant to the land iu 'B2.and it was necessary for Enfield to get Mc- Carthy to release his portion of the claim. He readily agreed to do so. After reachiug Harrisburg Enfield removed all the signs of travel from his raiment before calling at the de j partuieut. Wlieu he arrived there his appearance was that of a roughly clad farmer. He wore a cap and dark suit of clothes, hut the most remarkable portiou of his apparel were his shoes, the solos of which are an inch thick. When one of the clerks iuvited En field out to dinner, thinking his cir cumstances were such that he could not afford a square meal Enfield cour teously decliued, saying he had jnst had a hearty luncheon. Eufield is a Prohibitionist to the core and while in Harrisburg called on Dr. Silas C. Swallow, from whom he sought advice how to proved in case he failed to secure the patent on his laud. Dr. Swallow dnected him to an attorney, but inquiry at the lat ter office brouhgt out the fact that En field had not called. Enfield said that he would not walk all of the way back home. He had enough money to buy a ticket to Johnstown, from where he proposes to cut back through the mouutain-', finishing the trip afoot. A STEADY DRAIfI. Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole Body- Make You IU, Languid and De pressed. Sick kidneys weaken the body through the continual drainage of life-giving albumen from the blood into the uriue aud the substitution of poisouous uric acid that gees bioadcast through the system, sowing seeds of disease. Los of albumen causes .weakness languor, depression. Uric poisoning causes rheumatic pain, nervousness, nau-ea, cricks in the back, gravel aud kidney stones. The proper treatment is a kid uey treatment, and the best remedy is Doan's Kidney Pills. Great Danville cuies prove it. Mrs. Nelson Hollister, of fill Mill street,says: "When we lived in Lewis burg some years ago my sou was trou bled with backache about which he was continually complainiug. He was unaole to sleep nights, always had headaches and felt depressed aud tired the whole time The kidney secretions were annoying and embarrassiug Doan's Kidney Pills wroked a quick cure, and after taking them only a short time he wa« cured. My husband also used some for lameness in the back aud thev gave him immediate relief. From my own experience with the pain in the back and kidney trou ble I can say that they are of great benefit. It was in 189fi, over eight years ago,since my sou was cured,aud the cure then made lias been perman ent. We recommeiid Doan's Kidney Pills highly " For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., sole agents for the United States. Remember the name—Doan's— and take no other Bath Too nuch for Hobo. The superstition ot the hobo in re gard to washing being fatal has been proved true. Frank Torey, a profes sional tramp and probably the dirtiest one that has ever been gathered iu by the officers,died iu tha Harrisburg jail so.ne time during Saturday night after having been introduced to his first hath in years. Torey was given lodging on Thurs day night and after having been turn ed free on Friday, morning wandered about the city until arrested by the police on a charge of vagrancy. He wai given a hearing aud also five days. An effoit was made at the hearing to discover his nationality and his former home, but all that could be discovered was that he wanted to reach Atleutowu. He was taken to the county jail after the hearing, but it was too late to administer soap and water and the job was delayed until Saturday. One of the negro prisoners was instructed on Saturday morning to cleau the hobo aud so noti tied Torey of his instruction to introduce him to water. The hobo did not object aud after a good scrubbing it was possible to tell the color of the prisoner. He was then allowed to return to his cell and at once sought his cot. It was not long before he was slumber ing peacefully with apparently no ill effects from his bath. Sunday morn ing wheu the keeper made his usual rounds he discovered Torey lying in his cot as if asleep,but upon investiga tion he found the tramp had expired. The authorities at Allentowu have been communicated with in hopes of finding soma relatives of tho dead man. l^ongenberger-'Fox. Jesse M. Lougenberger.of Sunbury, formerly of Danville, and Miss Bessie E. Fox, of Sunbury, were married Sat urday eveuing at the home of the groom's brother, William Lotißenber ger. Ferry street. Rev. L D. Ulrich, pastor of Trinity Lutheran church, performed the ceremony. The young couple will reside in Sunbury. PiNNSY TO HAVE DOUBLE TRACK That the Sunbury, Hazleton & Wil kes-Barre division of the Pennsylvan ia 'ailroad will iu the near future be entirely double track is not doubted for » moment by anyone who follows the> improvements being made on that line. What is known as the Permissive Block System is now being installed. This system, in which the entire line is divided up into small sections or blocks, will allow two or three trains on the same block at once; but is so regulated that when a single passen ger train occupies the block no other train can enter thereon until the pas senger leaves. As will at once be seen, this system greatly increases the traffic facilities of the road, while at the same time affording the great est protection to travelers. Another feature of the system is that when more than one freight train occupies a single block, the en gineer of each train knows the exact location of each of the other trains. The S. H. & W. division extends from Wilkes-Barre to Sunbury, aud that the new block system may be worked most advantageously a double track is required. Along this divis ion there is now a series of sidings and to counect [these, thus making a double track,would uot b« a great un dertaking. One siding now extends from Wilkes-Barre almost to Retreat, knowu as Honeypot siding. More of these sidings are being continually ad ded and iu a few years the series will be complete. No Scarcity of Turkeys. One thing to be thankful for is the probability that turkeys will be cheap er at the approaching Thauksgiving aud Christmas than they were last year. Reports from different parts of the country represent these estimable fowls a« being reasonably numerous, with the prospect of their price being within reason. The season appears to have been favorable for their pro pagation and rearing. But like all good things it was not entirely per fcet. The bogs and grasshoppers were so numerous, aud kept up their activity in the fields to so late a period in the season, that the turkeys almost ran their legs off chasing them, an ex ercise that developed their muscles at the expense of that tenderness and juiciness which is the delight of epi cures when the bird is in the right coudition. But whether tough or ten der it is a relief to know that turkeys will bo more plentiful than last year, with a corresponding moderation of the [irice. A ye-»r ago thev roosted high at Thanksgiving and at Christ mas took a still higher limb. Annual Seed Distribution. The auuual distribution of the veg etable and flower seeds by the Depart ment of Agriculture begins on L»eceni ber Ist and before planting time it is expected the entire amount aggregat ing 38,000,000 packages will b« in the hands of the people iu all sections of the country. Congress for the past s-ev«ral years has appropriated $290,000 for this pur pose but a portion of the amount is used for foreign expernueut work and other kindred matters. The bulk of the 88,000,000 packages is subject, to the order of senators and representa tives for distiibution among their constituents, the secretary of agricul ture reserving one-fifth of the entire amount to supply the statistical crops correspondents, the Weatiier Bureau and for other purposes. Foot Ball Saturday. The Bloomsburg High School foot ball team will play the third game of the Danville-Bloomsburg series with the High School at DeWitt's Park, Sa turday afternoon. The two teams are very evenly match ed this year as is shown by the scores in the two previous g>»mt>s. Blooms burg defeated Danville at DeWitt's Park by the score of 6to 0, and were tied at Bloomsburg.neither team scor ing. The game on Sitorday promises to be hotly coutested, as the Danville hoys are determined to win the cham pionship of the two towus. nr. Laumaster at Milton. The Milton Standard speaks in the following high terms of our townsman William D. Laumaster: "The services held by Evangelist W. D. Laumaster, under the auspices of the local Young Men's Christian Association,have been exceedingly iii tere-tiug aud helpful. Yesterday Mr. Laumaster spote effectively iti Christ's Lutherau church in th i morning aud at the United EvaugcUoal churoli in the evening. A fine audience of men made the Association hall ring with their siuging yesterday afternoon aud the address was plain, practical and powerful." Birthday Party at Mausdale.

PANIC CAUSED BY IAD IAN Clarence Stuart, son of Fleming Stuart, who resides in Franklin town ship, Columbia couuty, about a mile from Roaring Creek, was brought to this city Sund ty afternoon aud placed in the Danville Hospital for the Insane,the unfortunate young man having developed a case of lunacy with a decidedly violent and morose trend. As in many of these sad cases a girl stands well in the foreground of the tragedy. Young Stuart became en amored of a girl wiio lived near him, but the match being discouraged she left that vicinity and the young man, brooding over her absence lost his reason. His insauity,which came up ou him about ten days ago,took am st violent form with sometimes a period of morose quiet. While in this state be procured fire arms, and kept uot onlv his own fam ily but the entire neighborhood in a state of panic with his threats to shoot anyone who name near bin. It was with great difficulty that the attending physicians Drs. J. M.and George H. Vastine.of Catawissacould examine him. They aid so, however, aud on Friday issued committment papers to the Hospital at this place. , Sunday Dr. J. M. Vastine and an assistant went to Stuart's and by a ruse succeeded in subduing the mad mau and placing hand cuffs upon his wrists. He wast »keu to the Hospital Sunday evening. A Disastrous Calamity.

The large barn on the farm of Dr. J. O. Nipple, of Sunbury, which is located about a mile below Selins grove, together with its conteuts of live stock, grain and farming imple ments, was burned to the ground at an early hour Saturday morning. The origin of the fire is unknown. Frederick Herman, the tenant on the farm, was awakened between the hour of two and three by a bright light showing through the bed room win dow. Jumping out of bed he found that the light came from the barn, the entire one side of which was envel oped in a mass of seething flames. Summoning assistance Herman ran to the barn and began to fight the flames with water by the buckets full, which had no more effect than if none had been nsed. During this battle others made heroic efforts to rescue the live stock, but they were also powerless to do anything. So fiercely did the fire spread that the barn and contents was destroyed in less than a half hour after the flames were first discovered. Five horses aud eleven head of cattle were burued and the season's crops and nil the farming im ; plements were destroyed. May Install (iasolene Cars. There is a probability that an en tirely now feature in street railways may be introduced in this vicinity when the Bloomsburg aud Millville line, now iu course of construction, is 1 completed, the officers of the company having practically decided to equip their line with gasoline cars. But little is known of the gasoline car in this sectio» of the country, but ; its utility and the practicability of its rise is known in the West, where the ' Union Pacific Railroad uses the cars in large numbars. Each car is equip f ped with a six cylinder gasoline en gine developing 100 horsepower, and is capable of attaining a speed of <">o miles per hour. The equipment of the Bloomsburg- Millville liue with the*e cars would obviate the necessity of a powerhouse and all overhead construction work, including wires, poles, etc.. which in itself would bo a great inducement iu their favor.

Eggs are high and going higher, And the price is soaring fast; Every time we goto market It is higher than the last. Not a coop but it produces Every day an egg or two; So each farmer gains his millions. Eveu though his hens be few. Every egg is verv precious, And the hens are held in awe: When a hen begins to cackle, Then the farmer goes " Haw, haw!" In the broad and busy farmyard Struts a rooster now and then, But the shrewd, bewhiskered farmer Only uotices the hen. Trust no rooster, howe'er showy Be the feathers in his tail; Pay attention to the biddies, And your wealth will never fail.

BRANDON'S BAD ACCIDENT Mrs Clara Brandon, widow of the late Arthur Brandon, met with a ter rible fall at iier home, East Market street, Friday afternoon, as there salt of which she sustained a fracture of the left arm. Mrs. Brandon was in the house alone when the accident oc curred, bat fortunately secured as sistance through persons passing. A. C. Koat was employed yesterday to take down the awnings in front of the house. He had the awnings all unfastened and was ready to store them away when he was relieved by Mrs. Braudon, who told liim that she would take care of them herself. Mr. Roat departed, when, it seems.

Diehl, who with her husband occupies the house with Mrs. Brandon was out calling at the time and the injured woman was home alone. She was able to rise and as certaining that she was badly hurt made her way to the door where she asked some people passing to carry the news down to the post office where Mr. Diehl, her son-in-law, Is employ ed Every Ounce You Eat.

It Is not so well known,however that among those who charged the lit es and with only a handlul of met earned fame by hold ing a position i 1 the dreadful crater is one of Danville's most esteemed residents persot ally known to nearly every man, woman and child. The casual r» »der of the History of the Second Pennsylvania Veteran Heavy Artillery will find much to en chain his inter- st but nothing quite so thrilling as the incidents attending the attack on Petersburg, especially those which rel ite to the Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery. It was this reg' neut which in obedi ence to orders rom the Commander, Lieutenant Col net Barney, charged directly into 111; crater after the ex plosion, entern g the enemy's works aud even advancing one hundred yard beyond.

Hi-story prints Che roll of honor and i the secoud name ou the list of those who remained fighting desperately in the crater u; til overwhelmed by num bers, loilowiug that of Captain John Norris, is David Ruckle, First Serge ant. Mr. Ruckle was then only some twenty years of age, but he already had plenty of experience in war, for he enlisted when only about nineteen years of age, He saw service first as a nine months man in 1862. He next eulisteil in the 112 th Regiment and about two weeks later was transferred ;to the Provisional Second Heavy Ar tillery in which ho saw service from May, 1864, to July 30, when he was taken prisoner at Petersburg.

Va. ; he was thence transferred to the Libby prisou at Richmond, Va., but happily was destined to remain there only three days, wheu he was included in a number that were taken to a parole camp at Aunapolis, Md. Mr. Ruckel was interviewed yester day concerning some of the above in cidents as touched on in the History of the Second Pennsylvania Regiment. His description of the awful carnage attending the charge into the crater at Petersburg accords with accounts giv en in historr. the Rebels charged into the crater he distinctly heard the comman ler order his men to kill all the ofti :ers and the negroes. R. J. Millard, then of Espy, but now living in the West, was a captain. While the carnage raged Mr. Ruckel kept the man prostrate between his knees and was able to beat otf repeated attempts to kill him. Before the decisive mo ment was reached, Mr. Ruckel says the ground was more than strewn with the slain. Arouul himself the dead, mostly negroes, lav waist deep.
