of Liberty township, deceased, a sale
was ordered as prayed for.
The case of Commonwealth vs.
Francis Woll, receiving stolen goods,
was continued.
A true bill was found in the case of
Commonwealth vs. David Magill. The
charge against Magill is felonious as
sault and battery. The defendant has
been a fugitive from justice since last
winter when he figured in an affray,
in which William Lake was stabbed,
the latter barely escaping with his
life. Although there are no immediate
prospects of apprehending Ma«ill, the
District Attorney deemed it advisable
to secure an indictment.
In the case of Commonwealth vs.
Thomas Sheppard, th« Grand Jury al
so returned a true bill.
At 3 :30 o'clock yesterday afternoon
the Grand Jurors were discharged.
W. R. fuller General rianajjer.
At a meeting of the Directors of the
Danville and Bloomsburg Street Rail
way Company held iu this city Mon
day, William K. Miller was elected
general manager.
Mr. Miller as Superintendent took
charge of the Dauville an<l Bloomsburg
line early in July last. As Suj>erin
tendent his services were mo t effici
ent. The car- have been running like
clock-work, there has been no friction
of any sort in the management and the
road lias yielded a good profit.
That BUCII a showing is most gratify
ing to the stock holders and board of
directors goes without saying and Mr.
Miller's reward came iu the form of a
substantial promotion, which elevated
"him from Superintendent to General
Manager.
Mr. Miller is a gentleman of fine so
cial qualities, and by his natural
courtesy and generous traits of char
acter has endeared himself to our citi
zens who will unite with the News in
congratulating him on his advance
ment.

SCHOOL DIRECTORS'
ASSOCIATION
County Superintendent C. W. Derr
was in Danville yesterday. He had a
conference with Borough Suj>erinteud
ent U. L. Gordy and the date of Jan
uary 30th was decided upon as the
time for the annual meeting of the
School Directors' Association of Mon
tour county. The session will be held
in Danville, although the two Super
intendents yesterday were unable to
state in what building the directors
will meet. At present Messrs. Derr
and Gordy have their eye on the Court
House aud the matter will be laid be
fore the County Commissioners at the
earliest opportunity.
The School Directors' Association
takes in all the directors of the coun
ty, who under the present law will re
ceive two dollars for their attendance
at the meeting and mileage at the rate
of 3 cents per mile.
The attendance will no doubt be all
that could be desired and nothing will
be left undone by the two Superin
tendents that would contribute to the
success and importance of the meeting.
They are trying very hard to secure
the attendance of State Superintendent
of Public Instruction N. C. Schaeffer.
The program for the meeting will not
be announced until the State Superiu
tendent is heard from finally as to
whether he cau be present or not.
All the details relative to the meet
ing will probably be arranged yet dur
ing the present week and the program
will be announced.
R. F. D. Suggestions.
i The carrier oil one of the Danville
Rural Free Delivery routes has com
piled tlie following set of suggestions
Ito the patrons of the delivery, an ob
j servance of which will not only make
the carriers' work easier,bat will also
greatly improve the service.
You will do the carrier a great
favor if you stamp your letters before
putting same in box or better yet by
usiiifr government stamped envelopes
with your name written upon upper
left hand corner this will guarantee
delivery or return of the letter.
In case you should not happen to
have either stamps or stamped en
velops wrap the necessary amount up
in paper and fasten to letter ill some
good manner remembering that in cold
weather if money is pat iu loose the
carrier has to take off his gloves to
pick up the loose pennies.
In addressing your letters do not
write above the middle of the envelope
because the letter has to be plainly
postmarked and the address may be
partly blurred by being struck with
the post marking stamp.
You will also help the handling
of the mail by always putting the
stamp upon the upper right hand cor
ner.
Iu your addressing a letter to a
visitor or some one who is not a patron
of a rural route or Postofftee you will
be helping the service by marking on
the envelope in whose care the letter
or package should go.
If you have visitors who are expect
ing mail kindly give the carrier their
names by putting slip iu box notifying
lum of same.
In regards to boxes help your carrier
by having a good one and in a good
easy place to drive up to and oil the
hinges and lock occasionally,also have
small hole iu bottom to drain out
Water.
Anything deposited in boxes is count
ed mail matter and is subject to ordi
nary postage rates. All packages should
be well wrapped and securely tied and
valuable letters anil packages should
be registered.
Patrons should not ask carrier to
wait while they write or finish a let
ter or postal. Have your mail deposit
ed in box when he reaches your box
aud save delay.
Patrons should keep tlie roads open
in winter and snow shoveled away
from boxes. Mail carriers are not re
quired to break roads.
Carriers wish to extend thanks to
patrons of routes for the kindness ex
tended to them during the holidays.
RURAL CARRIER.
Destructive Fire at Elysburg.
A part of the village of Elysburg
was threatened with destruction by
fire Monday morning. The quick and
effective work of a force of men who
formed themselves into a bucket bri
gade saved many houses from being
destroyed.
Smoke was seen coming from the
second story of A. J. Persing's wheel
wright shop at 10:15. An alarm of fire
was quickly sounded and almost the
entire population of the village re
sjionded. An investigation showed the
flames to be burning fiercely, it was
evident that the building could uot be
saved.
Every effort was then directed to
wards preventing the flames from
spreading. At first the fire fighters
were hamjiered by having the only fire
wagon in the village break down when
they attempted to draw it to the fire.
A bucket brigade was formed and
valuable assistance rendered in this
manner. The jtost office building which
adjoined the wheelwright shop caught
fire but the brave volunteer tire fight
ers succeeded in saving all the govern
ment mail as well as the large stock
of stationery which was haudled in
connection with the jxist office.
The flames threatened to sjwead to !
Edward Cook's butcher shop and I).
H. DeSbay's implement store and
foundry and were only prevented from
doing so by determined work on the
part of the villagers.
The buildings containing the smithy '
and jiost office were completely de
stroyed with a loss of about £BOO, be- I
ing partly covered with SJ.JO insurance.
For coughs and colds no remedy is
equal to Kennedy's Laxative Honey

Bloomsburger an Italian Mayor.
Joseph Ratti, treasurer and founder
of Bloomsburg silk mill, was recently
highly honored by the citizens of
Rogeno, Italy, of which place he is a
native. During a visit to Italy he was
unanimously elected Mayor of Rogeno
as a testimonial of high esteem. Mr.
Ratti is building at Rogeno, at great
expense, a kindergarten which will
afford educational facilities for 200
boys.
The Joseph Ratti Hospital at Blooms
burg is another of his charities. Last
spring he purchased a building,and af
ter equipping it with all modern con
veniences for a hospital, endowed it
for the benefit of the residents of
Bloomsburg and vicinity. The Hospit
al is now in charge of five Sisters of
Mercy, from Wilkes-Barre, who arriv
ed Saturday to begin their work at
Bloomsburg. One of the Sisters is a
graduate pharmacist, and will com
pound the medicines used at the iu
stitut ion.
Mr. Ratti now divides his time be
tween his splendid residence at Rog
eno and the one in Bloomsburg, sjiend
iug six months of the year at each
place. His estate at Rogeno compares
favorably with any found in Italy. He
j is a self-made American citizen, and
| besides being treasurer of the Blooms-
I burg silk mill, is a director of the na
tional banks at that place.

SUPPLEIKEKTiL
PROCLAIM
Governor Pennyjiacker yesterday af
f ternoon, issued a supplementary proc
| la mat ion surestmore legislation
j tor the coming session,to be embodied
|in four bills. These will cover civil
| service reform in State offices; a uui
j form primary election measure; a bill
relating to the expenditure of moneys
by candidates for nomination and elec
tion to office, and a bill relating to
the consolidation of contiguous cities,
this latter having already been cover
ed in the Governor's first proclama
tion, but again inserted to cover any
defect that may exist in the original
suggestion, new laws being passed un
der both suggestions for the consolida
tion of Pittsburg and Allegheny.
The proclamation is as follows:
"Whereas, an extraordinary session
of the general assembly of the com
monwealth of Pennsylvania has been
called under authority of article 4,sec
tion 12, of the constitution, to meet in
the capitol at Harrisburg on Monday,
January 15,lilfX», at 2 o'clock p. m., of
that day.
"Now, therefore, 1. Samuel \V.
Penuypaeker, governor of the com
monwealth of Pennsylvania,do hereby
designate the following additional sub
jects for the consideration of the gen
eral assembly, with a view to legisla
tion at the said session with respect to
them.
'"First: To revise the laws in rela
tion to primary elections in such a way
to provide for the holding of the pri
mary elections of all political parties
within the commonwealth on the same
day, at the same time, under the sup
ervision of properly constituted offic
ers, and to make such changes in or
in addition to these laws as may seem
advisable.
"Second: To establish a civil ser
vice system, by means of which tlie
routine offices and employments of the
commonwealth may be filled by ap
pointments made a'ter the ascertain
ment of qualifications and fitness, and
the incumbents of sucii office may re
tain them during good behavior.
"Third: To designate the uses to
which money may be applied by can
didates, political managers ana com
mittees in political campaigns or for
nominations and elections, to require
the managing committees and man
agers of all political parties to file
with some designated official at the
close of each campaign a detailed state
ment in writing, accompanied by affi
davit. of the amounts collected and
the purposes for which they were ex
pended.
'Fourth: To enable cities which
are now or may hereafter be contigu
ous or in dose proximity, including
any intervening land, to lie united in
one municipality, in order that the
jieople may avoid the unnecessary
burdens of maintaining separate nmni
ci|Mil governments."
This fourth subject is a modification
of the first subject in the original call
and is added in order that legislation
may be enacted under either of them
as may be deemed wise.

Mrs. Edward E. Lunger,of 11 Church

' of Doau's Kidney Fills. I would not
think of being without them in the
» house. I made a statement for pub
t lication in 18% in which I gave my
; opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills on ac
count of the great benefit I had receiv
ed from their use. 1 have never had
' any cause to regret making that state
ment. aiul now over eight years after
wards, I can reiterate the statement.
Before taking this remedy I suffered
for months with backache and lame
- uess and soreness in the back. The
pain over my hips was continuous and
when on my feet it was one steady,
' gnawing ache. It hurt me to do any
i tiling requiring a bending position,
. sharp twinges would catch me so sud
denly that 1 had to brace myself until
they stopped. The kidney secretions
annoyed me and I often suffered from
headaches. I read statements given by
people in this vicinity who had used
Doau's Kidney Fills and concluded to
try them. They did me more good
than any other medicine I ever tried.
After a few doses I no longer experi
enced such severe pain and finally the
• pain was removed entirely. The an
noyance caused by the irregularities of
1 the kidney secretions was entirely re
moved. 1 can honestly recommend
i Doan's Kidney Fills to those suffering
as I did."

RELATING TO
DIPHTHERIA
——
The subject of diphtheria claimed
the attention of the School Hoard for
a good while "Monday and action was
! taken on a very important point rehit
| ing to the disease, which, it seems,
does not come in under any of the
rules laid down by fhe State to govern
j I he schools.
Borough Snperintendeiit (ionlv call
ed attention to (vises which now and
then occur in which when diphtheria
break* out, others in the same house
hold who are not infected leave and af
ter sojourning in some other residence
when the card is removed at their own
home return an 1 as the latter place
has undergone fumigation with some
show of right claim the privilege of
attend ing school immediately. Pro
fessor Gor.ly explained that it is a
feature of such cases not covered by
the school law and that it remained
for the School Hoard to decide wheth
er these pupils returning home be per
mitted to attend school immediately
after fumigation at the parental resi
dence or that they be required to re
main out of school thirty days as the
other children of the household who
passed through the quarantine are re
quired to do by the school law.
There was a lengthy discussion oil
the subject of diphtheria and on the
provisions of the school law relatiug
to it. which latter several of the mem
bers unhesitatingly pronounced absurd,
although no one took the view that
the law in the premises should be
ignored.
Dr. Harpel regretted that there is
such au exaggerated idea of diphtheria
abroad in the community. There is a
positive scare, he said, which is un
warranted by the real conditions. The
recent article in the News on tin- sub
ject was commended by the Board and
Dr. Harpfl asked that the same line of
writing be pursuer! to the end that the
public be reassured.
Dr. Harpel moved that in cases such
as above quoted, pupils temporarily
absent from their homes and returning
immediately after fumigation be per
mitted to attend school at once. The
motion being duly seconded was put
to a vote and lost.
Oil motion of Mr. Fischer it Was
ordered that Mis* Howry's school in
the Third Ward lie closed this fore
noon and that the room be fumigated
as a precaution owing to the fact that
a case of diphtheria has broken out
among the pupils. The disease de
velojied ln~t Friday, although tne fact
was not reported to the teacher until
yesterday.
The truant officer presented his re
port a - follows: Pupils sick, lio; tru
ants, 10; those without suitablechotli
ing, 12: notices sent out, 8.
Mr. Pursel reported the loss of a tree
at the Second Ward School Building,
which was broken off by a runaway
team. The tree was about 4 inches in
diameter and was growing nicely at a
•■pot where it was always very difficult
to get a tret* to grow. It was the sense '
of the School Board that the owner of
the team, which it was alleged had i
been left untied, should be held re- !
I'poiiuihlu for tlio lows tnnl lit* made to
pay for the tree. Mr. Pnrsel was re
queste 1 to 1 >ri t-lie matter to the
( owner's atteut ion.
On motion of Mr. Heiss it was ord
ered that an electric light he placed in
the hall way of the Third Ward School
, Building, provided that the Light
Company agrees that the account shall
run only during the school term.
Treasurer Schrain presented a state
ment of finances to date, which show
ed a cash balance on hand of $1)475.87.
The following members were in
their places: Adams, Orth, Pursel,
Werkheiser, Fischer, Trum bower, ileiss,

HOW HIS FEET
! BECAME FBOZcN
Herman Prentiss, accompanied by
his brother Ambrose and sister, Mrs.
Hirsh, of W ilkes-Barro, Friday night
arrived at this city from Greensburg
in the western part of the State where
he was confined at the Hospital with
both feet frozen.
He is now receiving medical care at
the home of his father, X. C. Pren
i tiss, Railroad street. His feet are still
in a very bad condition, although it
doe> not seem likely that amputation
will have to be resorted to unless it be
to remove a portion of the toes. At
the Westmoreland Hospital where Her
man was confined it was thought that
several of the toes would have to be
amputated. However.it is by no means
improbable that due to skillful treat
ment his toes may l«* saved.
The story that Herman tells is as
follows: Misunderstanding the con
ductor he left the train at a wrong
statiou and started to walk to the next
station. It was on Sunday and he en
countered rain and snow. There were
no houses and be walked many miles
hoping to find shelter. When night
overtook him he was drenched through
and through. Discerning a straw stack
in the darkness he made his way to
ward it, crawled under the straw and
sought shelter for the night. He had
no doubt but that a farm house was
near but it was late and he heard dogs
barking ominously, so that he decided
to entrust himself to the hospitality of
the straw stack. The weather had
changed, however, and it became very
cold. His feet were wet and he re
moved his shoes, but he was unable to
keeji his feet warm and during the
night they were frozen.
The whole affair was purely accid
ental, as Herman was well supplied
with money. But for the misunder
standing which led him out in the
storm he would have been able to pur
chase safe and comfortable lodging.

Returns With a Bride.
I. Stein, the Russian shoemaker,
who left for New York ou December
23, returned to Danville last evening
bringing with him a handsome young
bride.
The present is Mr. Stein's second
matrimonial venture,his first wife dy
ing in Danville a couple of years ago.
The wedding took place in New York
ou last Tuesday evening, tiie bride be
ing Miss Annie Miller. Accompanying
the newly wedded couple were the lit
tle son and daughter of the groom, who
following his first wife's death lived
with their aunt in New York.
Mr. Stein's bride like himself, is a
native of Russia,although she has been
in America two years. They knew
each other in Russia and that their
lives should unite in the bond of mat
rimony in a strange land after so
many years of separation and trial is
indeed something of a romance.
The groom is a very intelligent
young Hebrew, who fought for a num
ber of years in the Russian army. On
several occasions interviews with him
were printed in these columns and
proved very interesting reading by
| reason of his graphic description of
life in the Russian Army and his in
telligent forecast as to the result of
the war, which was found to accord
precisely with facts as they occurred

THE SUMMER'S
nm mim
#
Jin 1 family of the Hebrew shoemak
er, which escajKsd the mobs in Russia
au<l was heard from through a letter
early in the week, arrived at Danville
on the J) :15 JD. |L. & W. train Fri-
J day. The shoemaker expected his wife
J and children and accompanied by H.
I Goldman of the American Stock Com
pany, was at the station to meet them.
I The shoemaker until receiving the
| letter l'uesday had about given up all
hope of ever seeing his wife and little
1 ones again. It was, therefore, nearly
as though they had risen from the
| dead and the meeting at the station
was affecting in the extreme. While
the shoemaker was watching the rear
end of the train the family alighted
from the forward jx>rtion. Catching a
glimpse of her husband the wife gave
a loud cry and with outstretched arms
ran to meet him, while the children
huddled about the pair and indulged
in a hearty cry as the only way of ex
pressing their feelings.
It is indeed a beautiful little storv
in which there is enough sentiment
and pathos to touch the hardest heart.
The shoemaker's sad case had aroused
the deepest interest and sympathy. No
one sympathized with him more deep
ly than the Jewish people themselves
and no one shared his joy in greater
measure than they when the joyful
tidings came that the family was safe
and was well on its way to America.
He had plenty of help, therefore, to
assist him in preparing for the arrival
of his loved ones.
Next spring the shoemaker will oc
cupy a house on Lower Mulberry
street, near his shop. For temporary
occupancy, however, a small house was
rented ar the rear of the Knitting Mills
owned by George Rejisuyder. The
house was only vacatedi at 4 o'clock
Thursday afternoon, buj many persons
who wished to assist the happy man
were soon at work putting the house
in ship shape for the new arrivals.
While one of his friends was install
ing a stove the shoemaker himself was
purchasing furniture preparing to be
gin housekeeping anew. .The Jewish
people came to his rescue nobly—with
the result of it all that when the train
arrived yesterday morning the re-unit
ed family was able to proceed directly
to its own home, comfortable and
cozy, where was found a nice breakfast
prepared and where after all their
trials and hardships tiie weary ones
might rest.
The outlook is not a cheerful one on
the cinder tip; the house is small and
there is nothing ornamental about it,
but who shall measure the happiness,
that yesterday dwelt uuder that roof..
Compared with it the palaces of our
laud yesterday were dreary places,
where the true pleasure of life was un
known.
It will be sometime before the wife
will lie able to tell all that she endur
ed and all that she escaped in the dark
reign of bloodshed that for so long has
held sway in Russia. In a general way
she attributes her escape to the sol
diers, who on several times of especiaJ
peril gave her protection.
