TWO TEAMS
IN I RUNAWAY
A two-horse team running away at a
breakneck pace affords a spectacle ex
citing enough lor most people, but
when you multiply it by two and ob
tain a picture of two such teams dash
ing along one alter the other you have
a positive "thriller" the like of which
is not often witnessed.
A spectacle of this exciting nature
was witnessed by the residents of
North Mill street about half past 2
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The two
runaway team* were employed in haul
ing wood l'or the Catawissa paper mill
company, from (he tract being cleared
altove Sidler hill to the P. & R. rail
way near the Mill street crossing,
where it will later be loaded 011 the
cars.
When the runaway occurred the two
wagons had just been unloaded and
the horses were left unattended while
the drivers busied themselves in pil
ing up the wood. The horses—four big
iron greys—bad plenty of spirit and
while standing alone got frightened
and started to run. In an instant the
teams were beyond the drivers' reach
and close together went galloping in
Mill street. Few vehicles were on the
street at the time and these were quick
ly pulled aside and tne runaway teams
were given the right of way. The de
livery wagon of the Danville Milling
company, driven by G. A. Fry, which
was standing at Pursell's store, escap
ed by the narrowest possible margin,
being driven ground the corner just as
the teams dashed onto the spot.
As the first jeam reached Centre
street a gentleman standing near rush
ed into the street and attempted to
stop the horses. This merely had the
effect of turning the team in another
direction and it attempted to escape
up Centre street.
In striking the brick pavement,"how
ever, one of the horses fell and carri
ed along by the fearful momentum
gained it was dragged over the bricks
for twenty feet. At this juncture Ed
ward Pursell ran out from the store
and caught the other horse. The fall
en animal was released by the big
crowd which rapidly collected. The
horse escaped serious injury,while the
harness was only slightly broken.
Meanwhile the second team dashed by
and continued up Mill street. Where
its flight would have ended it would
be hard to tell, had not 'Bert Gill ran
out of his store and pluckily caught
one of the horses. It is a question
whether he could have brought the
team to a stop had not George Sutler,
who is employed on the street, rushed
up and struck the otiier horse over the
nose with his sweeper. A few min
utes after the horses were stopped the
driver arri vtd and took them in charge.

WATER FOR
GULICK'S ADDITION
The several families, who occupy
the remote part of the borough known
as Gulick's addition, after many years
of waiting, it would seem are at last
to enjoy some of the conveniences of
borough water.
There are 110 finer building sites in
the borough than are to be fouud in
Gulick's addition, hut unfortunately
up to the present the locality lias been
cut off both from electric light and
borough water. Meanwhile here and
there wells were sunk and the resi
dents endeavored to get along as well
as they could. The lack of water, how
ever, lias proven a serious drawback
and in order to induce the borough to
extend tlio water svsteni and to install
electric light a petition numerously
signed asking for these utilities was
presented to council at its meeting
Friday night. The matter was refer
red to the proper committees.
The water committee visited Gulick's
addition yesterday morning, looking
carefully over the ground. There
would .-eem to be scarcely any doubt
from what has been learned but that
the committee will report in favor of
carrying water to Gulick's addition.
It is a very big proposition it is true,
and will necessitate an extension of
flu water main nine hundred feet
long. Under the circumstances it is
not unlikely that the residents in
Gulick's addition will be asked to
compromise 011 a two-inch main,which
will supply the hydrant, at the dwel
lings, but will not provide for tire
protection. How the committee on
electric light will report remains to
be seen.

liarman Robbery Case Dropped.
Shortly before adjournment Monday
afternoon, District Attorney Small
petitioned court for the release of
James McNanny, who is in jail at
Bloomsburtf <>ll the charge of burglar
izing the house of S. H. liarman. Tiie
court granted a nolle prosequi upon
the petition and McNanny was releas
ed.
The petition sets forth that Karl
Thomas, witness for the Common
wealth, testified before Guy Jacoby,
Esq., at the preliminary hearing, that
he saw McNanny in the rear of the
house of S. H. Harman immediately
after the burglary was committed, on
the night of January «, 1906. Later on
April 30th., lie signed a statement in
the office of Guy Jacoby, that the
testimony he gave at the preliminary
hearing was untrue, which statement
was made after the habeas corpus hear
ing was had in this case.
The district attorney said he would
return an indictment for perjury
against Thomas.

Few Republican Candidates.
The Republicans of Montour county,
who have been very quiet up to the
present, are giving some thought as to
candidates for the next election. While
among the Democrats every office has
a candidate and some,three or four, it
is noteworthy that among the Repub
licans there seems to be a dearth of
early aspirants for local office.
No time has as yet been set for hold
ing the primaries and the nominating
convention, but these will be at
tended to in the near future and an
effort will be made to find candidates
for each office to be filled.
It is taken for granted that Presi
dent Judge C. C. Evans and Associate
Judge Charles Wagner will each be a
candidate. It is also regarded as prob
able that Congressman E. W. Samuel
will receive the endorsement of Mon
tour county for re-election as he has
in Columbia county Beyond these
flit-re are no aspirants in sight. Can
didates are wanted for assemblyman,
sheriff, register and recorder.
Republican leaders say that because
no haste has been shown in the mat
ter it must not be inferred that a strong
man will not eventually announce him
self for each of the remaining offices
and that if any prospective candidate
of the opposite party is looking for
ward to the possibility of a walkover
lie i> cherishing a dream that will not
be realized.

know it, for some time or other 'twill

GEORGE i BERNHARD
GENERAL SECRETARY
George R. Bernhard of Scottdale,
who as previously stated in these col
umns, was a candidate for the posi
tion of general secretary of the Y. M.
C. A. at this place, met the board of
directors at a special meeting held in
the association parlor Mondayjevening.
There was nearly a full membership
of the board present and the result of
the meeting was most gratifying. Mr.
Beruhard was pleased with what lie
learned concerning the local field,
while tlie directors, one and all. were
more than pleased with Mr. Bernhard
and believed that they saw in him a
most successful Y. M. C. A. worker,
both as to his ability to win and hold
the boys and to assist in building up
the association financially. After talk
ing over the matter for about an hour,
while Mr. Bernhard still remained in
the room, it was unanimously decided
to invite him to accept the position of
general secretaryship of the Danville
Y. M. C. A. Mr. Bernhard had al
ready well considered the matter and
he promptly accepted.
Mr. Bernhard is a married man and
is the father of three boys. He will
enter upon his position here before
July first.
Previous to the meeting Mr. Beru
hard met several of our citizens in the
Y. M. C. A. rooms, among them a
representative of this paper. He made
a very fine impression. He is still
young, although he has had plenty of
experience and understands the ways
of the world. He is a magnetic voung
man whose earnestness and zeal are
evident in every sentiment he uttered,
in every gesture and in every glance
of the eye. The effect of only a brief
interview is such as to indicate that
he should make a first class general
secretary.
Scottdale, where Mr. Bernhard at
present is general secretary of the Y.
M. C. A., is situated some fifty miles
southeast of Pittsburg. It is a town
of about 5000 inhabitants and supports
a flourishing Y. M. C. A. Several very
fine testimonials have been received
by the board of directors here attesting
to the very excellent results that have
attended Mr. Bombard's labors in
Scottdale. He took charge of the Y.
M. C. A. there one year and a half
ago. He found the association there
in debt and poorly equipped. Not only
has the indebtedness been liquidated
and the equipment much improved by
Mr. Bernhard, but now 011 the eve of
his resignation there is a handsome
surplus in the treasury. The people of
Scottdale as is natural are very anx
ious to retain Mr. Bernhard, but as
he stated la>t evening he feels that he
has accomplished about all that re
mains for him to do in Scottdale and
that the time has come when he should
seek a new field.

Angered Bull Nearly Kills Boy.
Made mad by the flashing of a red
dress in bis face a vicious bull attack
ed the six-year-old son of Mr. Reich
enbach, who resides on the farm of
Hon. S. P. VVolverton near Klines
grove.Monday nignt about six o'clock,
and would have killed the boy but for
the timely arrival of his father.
The auiinal was in the barn yard
wheu two young girls happened along,
one of them was attired in a bright
red dress and passing near the fence
noticed that the crimson hue was quite
distasteful to the annual, taunted him
by waving her skirt in his face until
he became highly infuriated.
While the enraged animal was tear
ing around tho barn yard the hoy en
tered anil the bull made for him. Be
fore he kuew what had happened him
the animal had knocked the child
down and was madly rolling him on
the ground. Just as the animal was
about to gore the child after a five
minutes one sided tussle the father
happened along and quickly grabbing
a large pitch fork set to work to res
cue his sou. By sinking the sharp
prongs of the fork deep into the en
raged animal the father after a despe
rate encounter which lasted live min
utes was successful in conquering the
bull and saving the life of his son.
" The injured boy was taken to Sun
bury to the office of Or. Rice where
his injuries were dressed. An exami
nation showed that no bones were
broken, but the boy's body was badly

Old Potatoes Scarce.
The curb stone market is a small
proposition at this season of the year,
the greater part of the farm products
required to supply the town being un
loaded on the stores, which became
the principal centers of distribution.
Notwithstanding that new po
tatoes, shipped from the south, are
offered for sale, old potatoes have the
call and the new ones are secondary
in demand. Comparatively few old
potatoes are brought to market by the
farmers and these in most instances
are sold out by the bushel. Persons
who wish to buy in smaller quantities
mostly do so at the stores. Potatoes
were unusually scarce in market yes
terday and there were many inquires
at the wagons, but in every instance
the answer was the same. The few
potatoes that were brought into town
were disposed of early at so cents per
bushel. The stores nearly all, how
ever, keep themselves supplied with
old potatoes,which retail at about the
same price.
The merchants, however, state that
few potatoes are coming into town and
it is stated that there is only a limit
ed supply on hand among the farmers,
a circumstance that can be contem
plated with equanimity in view of the
fact that another new crop is already
looming up. Old potatoes, however,
will be an esseiftial article of diet in
many households for six weeks to
c ome.
CHANGE PROPOSED
IN STATE ROAD LAW
The Harrisburg Star-Independent is
advocating an amendment to the good
roads law which will put upon the
state seven-eighths of the cost of con
struction and ui)on the township the
other one-eighth, releasing the coun
ties from any payment whatever. Its
argument is that the one-eighth which
the couu ies are now compelled to pay
is an injustice to the cities and bor
oughs which make and maintain their
own highways. For example, one-half
the amount paid by Dauphin count\
would really come out of Harrisburg,
which furnishes about one-half the
county revenues. There is much rea
son in this, though a similar objection
might be raised by any township in
which 110 good road is constructed. It
has to pay its share of the county s
one-eighth for building a road some
where else. The difference is that the
township may sometime have the ad
vantage of State aid while Harrisburg
would not. If the change proposed by
our contemporary were made it would
at least take away from county com
missioners the excuse they have had
iu some instances for obstructing road
improvement. In Dauphin county, for
example,the applications were held up
on the plea that the county had no
money to pay its one-eighth of the
cost. This is a condition to be avoid
ed, but whether it should be done by
putting the county wholly out of the
work will need to be carefully con
sidered.

WAS A MONTOUR
COUNT! BOY
1 COMMUNICATED.)
One of the most touching incidents
in all of the army career of the late
Col. Eckman reads thus:
Near the banks of lioaring creek still
stands a crumbling home. It is silent
now. For they are all gone—those
who love it and who called it'' Home.''
An aged father once lingered there.
He had two boys who were patriotic
and at the first sound of civil war they
left the plow and were soon lost in
the swelling ranks of the Union army.
They never came back. The one boy
sleeps on the beautiful Heights of Arl
ington where his kindred spirit still
stands silent guard over the capitol of
a re-uuited nation; the other boy is
still lost in the mud of Wilderness.
But that hopeful father would not
give that lost boy up. He would not,
he could not believe t hat he was dead.
Somehow he thought that Col. Eck
man, with whom he had enlisted,
would send his lost boy back. And
long did the Colonel, himself thrice
wounded there, hunt for that lost boy
in that "Dismal Swamp." For years
tear-dimmed eyes shaded by trembl
ing hands looked wistfully down that
old "creek road" for that lost boy
who never came back. And when the
night wind* would rattle the heavy
iron latch,that venerable father would
start from his fitful sleep, and calling
him by name, would rush to the door
to greet that long-lost boy. Then a
hand withered by toil would feebly
grasp that I'itch and that old door
would slowly open—but he was not
there—that lost boy—he had gone for
ever. Then would fall tears as dark
as the night dew, tears that the world
never saw.
That was < vi-r forty years ago. Long
since then the gates of Heaven have
stood ajar t >r that still sorrowing old
father, and there, let us hope, that he
now holds in eternal embrace his
long-10.-t b iv of the wilderness.
THE AMERICAN HEN.
All praise to the great American
hen! as a money producer, in food—
flesh and e^es —she lias no equal, and
the oub fault that we can find with
her is that she refuses to lay eggs in
cold weather, and thereby allows the
gambler in her products to squeeze the
public. If the lieu would even up her
egg laying, there would be 11 cold
storage or stale product. Last winter,
due to the iuild weather, the lieu did
fine, but she caused the wrath of the
cornerers of the food products by leav
ing millions of cold storage epgs 011
their hands, to be sold at a tremen
dous loss.
On Thursday of last week there were
received in New York City over 40,000
cases of eggs, containing 15,125,000
white ovals, with a value of $250,000.
Most of the-e went into cold stor
age, to be sold as strictly "fresh"
next winter. The secretary of agri
culture rcji irts that last year the eggs
of the United States were worth more
than the cotton or wheat, more than
all the potatoes, the barley, the tobac
co, the sugar cane and the rice. They
almost equal the dairy product and are
surpassed only by the corn crop,a good
part of which is fed to the liens. The
Congressional Record says that every
three months the American hen pro
duces more wealth than the capital
stock of all the banks in the New
York clearing house. In two months
she lays more value than the annual
production of all the gold mines in
the United States. Her eggs for six
months are worth more than the year's
production of pig iron. 111 less than
two years the American hen could pay
off the debt of the United States.
Notwithstanding the money to be
made from poultry, there is a demand
far beyond the supply. Even ut six
teen to eighteen cents a pound, it is
difficult, if not impossible to obtain
poultry in the market, only at certain
seasons of the year, and on one or two
days of the week.
There is great opportunity for pay
ing chicken farms in the vicinity of
towns or cities of any size.
In Sunbury Jail*
At present there are eighty-eight
prisoners confined in the Northumber
land county jail at Sunbury,and Ward
en McDouuel has a very large family
to care for. This is the largest num
ber of persons in the jail for a long
time anil the warden says that if any
more are committed they will have to
bring their beds along as every avail
able cot is occupied. When Warden
McDonnel took charge there were only
forty-eight prisoners in the fort and
this increase shows that business has
picked up some.

Huckleberry Crop
Every indication at this early day
points to an abundant huckleberry
crop. The branches are already filled

MORE DOUBLE
TRACK ON PENNSY
Evidently determined not to let the
present lack of traffic on this division
of its road interfere with future pro
gress, the Pennsylvania railroad on
Thursday put into operation another
work train at Catawissa. This train
will be engaged all summer and well
into the fall making various improve
ments on the line between Catawissa
and Sunbury. The chief work, how
ever, will be the construction of two
sidings, each about a mile long, one
between Catawissa and South Dan
ville and the other between South Dan
ville and Sunbury. This will be two
steps taken towards the realization of
the double track system 011 this divis
ion of the road, towards which the
management is steadily working.
The crew of this train, and the gang
of workmen connected with it consists
of about fifty men. All of these have
been engaged at Catawissa, as it is at
this point that the work train will
make its headquarters.
This train is not taking the place of
any already or formerly in use, but is
an addition to the regular forces and
equipment of this division of the road.
Officials say that in addition to these
two sidings, others will be built in
the next couple years, and it will be
but a short time until the entire line
from Wilkes-Barre to Sunbury is
double tracked.
TAX PAYERS' ASSOCIATION.
A tax payers' association,which has
become popular in many other towns,
is being advocated by some of our resi
dents. Primarily such an organiza
tion was intended to counteract tend
ancy toward extravagance and to check
unwise legislation on the part of
councils; but of late years it has done
good work in many towns such as
ours, where the local legislative assem
bly is not open to any such charge, by
acting in harmony and co-operating
with council. If the latter body is to
represent the tax payers, it is reason
ed,it can not he better assisted in this
relation than by the tax payers them
selves, who by organizing and looking
carefully after their own interests, will
ho able to suggest many things to
council, which will he for the good of
the municipality.

Will Pray Against Their Enemy.
Believing the State authorities are
not going to do anything to prevent
the McCall's Ferry company from
ruining the shad fishing in the Sus
quehanna river by the construction of
a huge dam, old fishermen on both
sides of the river are advocating a sea
son of prayer, in which the people are
to appeal for Divine aid.
It has even been suggested that those
who pray ask for some destructive
agency which will make it impossible
for the company to close the river and
ruin the fisheries. Such a thing as a
severe and vastly destructive ice fresh
et,one riverman says, would be a great
thing for the Susquehanna fisheries.
Another Gone.
CaptainjW. K. Boltz, a hero of the
civil war, died at Pottsville ou Fri
day, his deatli following close upon
that of Col. Ecknian. These two
deatlis indicate the rapidity with
which the veterans are pitching their
tents in the other world. Both of these
soldiers were distinguished for their
bravery. Capt. Boltz led Company G
of the 115 st Pennsylvania regiment in
one of the most desperate charges made
on the battlefield of Gettysburg. He
was held for thirteen months in Libby
prison during the war. Subsequently
he became an active business man at
Pottsville and died at the age of 7f>.

convenience of the occupants and the
value of the property, bur serve to
improve general appearances.
Mrs. I). M. Boyd is having a large
window placed in the eastern si<l<» of
her Bloom street residence on the first
story near the front. The window is a
very large one, five feet wide by five
feet, ten inches high, the upper and
lower glass each being 32x56 inches.
The window is finished in black wal
nut, and has inside sliding blinds, al
so of walnut. The window is an added
attraction to the beautiful residence
and admits abundant light where be
fore was a blank wall. Trumbower &
Werkheiser are putting in the window.
Mrs. I'oyd i- also building a ten
foot annex to her brick carriage house
at the rear of her residence. The
southern side of the building is torn
down and the brick layers have begun
work. John A. Mowrev has the work
in charge.
The floor in a portion of the Sper
ring building is being lowered two
feet to conform with the present grade
of Mill street. This leaves some seven
feet in the cellar, and gives tin; room
above a very high ceiling. The apart

to the canal and when completed will
be very desirable for a store or office.
