When he unl<H'ked the celL yesterday morning at seven o'ekxx, he did not look ]>ar ticnlarly into the cell which was oc ope >t jointly b\ Becker and Conner. \Viten the two did not appear for br. akfast, investigation was ma le, and 1 cell found to be empty, with a lug. hole in the wall, and atones scat tered about the floor standing as a inut' explanation of the mens' ab sence. The outer wall of the jail is two feet thick, while the ceiling of the II 1- made of steel. In the cell, two ft et from the ceiling, is a small iron framed window. The prisoners had removed -• veral -tones above the win dow. -ome of the stones being fifteen incite- -quare and six inches thick. The jail wall. Iteiug several stones in thickn. -s, the hole did not penetrate it, but stones were so removed as to lorm a burrow or passage up through the wall around the edge of the steel ceiling, the men thus crawling from the cell to the attic above. Passing along the attic to a point w here they kiew the high wall around the jail yard joined the building, they cut a hell through the roof with a knite and saw, aud gaining the roof, it was an easy matter to crawl to the top of the jail yard wall. From the top of the wall, some thirty feet high, the ground was reached by the use of blankets from their cots. In the cell were found a large flat chisel, and a narrow file blade ten inche- long. The latter had a wire t\\ isted about one end for a handle. A < >ll ph of the jail table forks were al -o found here. With these implements, the stones had evidently been remov ed. Just when they made their escape i not known. As far as could be learn ed. no one heard the men in their work, cither removing the stone- iu their cell, or boring through the roof which was covered with slate. The escaped men were in Rupert vesterdav morning shortly after seven o'clock, but where they went from that ]h>i nt is not yet ascertained. A boy pacing the jail iu the early morn ing saw two men of their description hurrying down the tow path toward Rupert.

WILLIE RENNER HELD FOR COURT Eleven-year-old William Renner, who broke into the department store of S. Loweustein & company Sunday afternoon, was arraigned before Just i of the Peace William V. Oglesby M< nday morning at 10:30 o'clock. He was held for court and in default of [ one hundred dollars bail was handed ever to the custody of the sheriff. Information was lodged by Samuel I owenstein, which set forth "that W lliam Renner, on the 13th. day of M iv, 11 lot», at t> p m , did enter the -tore of Samuel Loweustein <V coni panv with intent to commit a fel -1 ouy." ' rite youthful defendant was in the t of spirits at the hearing, lit* said that he had a good bed at the jail and hid had a good breakfast. Sheriff Maiers stated that the little fellow slept sonndly all night. The proceed ings before the justice seemed to amuse the boy very much. ®He showed the I.e.nest interest as the evidence began jto accumulate against him and here land then vouchsafed explanations to (clear up points that seemed obscure to j the officers. How he got into the I money drawer, which opens with a combination, was one of the points that ponded Joseph Loweustein. The bov quickly informed the justice that he had no trouble at all—that he just put his hand underneath and the drawer came open. It is hardly likely that the boy fully realizes the enormity of his offence. He seemed to think that his hold prank at the department store was some thing smart, and he talked freely of other lescapades that he had been in. It has ; been known for some time that there has been a good deal of petty thieving going on about town and nuisance of various sorts committed that are to be attributed to boys. While not shield ing himself young Renner told all about the pilfering and other over tacts J showing conclusively, as has beeu sus pected, that there is a star performer } among the juveniles of which such as Willie Renner is only a pupil. Justice Oglesby fixed the bail at one ] hundred dollars, but as no bondsman was produced there seemed to be no other alternative than to remand the boy to the custody of the sheriff. The lirtle fellow had no particular objec tion to going back to jail,but lie seem ed to have an idea that he ought togo to a reformatory or a protectorate. He was pleased with the prosjiects of a trip and thought he ought to start at 'once. He was not altogether ignorant of what such a step implied and he had the limit of ten years fixed in his mind.

ANOTHER BOY UNDER ARREST Another arrest was made iu this city Tuesday afteruoou with the hope of breaking up tho ring of incorrigible and criminally inclined hoys, who for sometime past have beeu proving a nuisance and a menace. The boy taken into custody Tues day was Daniel Kennedy, whose age is between II! and 14 years. His ar n t took [dace pursuant to action tak en by the school board on Monday night. Kennedy's case was given due consideration. As far of the exper ience of the teachers and superinten dent extend the boy is incorrigible be yond what is usually implied by that term. Circumstances an* such that the boy is able to hold all school discip line and school authority in defiance. Monday night he was also accused of breaking into the school house. On motion the truant oflicer was instruct ed to swear out a warrant for Ken nedy's arrest as wholly incorrigible and to have him brought before court with a view of having him sent to M»me institution where reform may possibly be effected. The. information made before Jus tice Oglesby set forth that "on the sth day of May at ."»:4-"« p. ui. Daniel Ken nedy diil break and enter the lirst ward school house with intent to com mit a felony." The plea of not guilty was taken,af ter which Ambrose Robinson and Rob ert Campbell, two 15-year-old boys, were called to testify. The two wit nesses were together when they allege they saw Kennedy coining out of the cellar of the school building. At the sight of the two boys Kennedy is al leged to have run down the alley where the two boys pursued him and finally caught him. He handed over some articles, which, the boys state, he acknowledged having taken from t li«' school room. Attorney Ralph Kisner who was pres ent at the hearing explained the at titude of the school board which he said, was not vindictive in the mat ter. The boy was beyond the schools and \va- a positive menac. With a view of removing his evil influence and of placing him where he would have to yield to discipline and author ity they asked that he be handed over to court. The records show that in August, 15)03, Daniel Kennedy was arrested for larceny and that upon his promising to abandon evil conduct sentence was suspended. Justice Oglesby fixed bail at SIOO. No one appearing as bondsman the boy was committM I to jail. The soothing spray of Ely's Liqnip Cieiin I'alin. used in mii atomizer, is an unsp akable relief to sufferers from CafJirrh.

Wagner, of Wasli ingtonville, had a miraculous escape yesterday from being roasted to death, the memory of which will long r main with her. Mrs. Wagner was ironing at the time of the narrowly averted c-tta-- trophe. While walking across the room to get a hot iron from the range, a chasm suddenly yawned at her feet and the stove disappeared into a hob in the floor, from the brink of which the lady staggered back barely able to save herself from being precipitated down on top of the red hot range. It was between 2 and 15 o'clock when the accident occurred. Men had been working underneath the kitchen at the Wagner home putting in a stairway into the cellar, and during the course of their work had found it necessary t i temporarily support the kitchen floor with two scantlings. It was the weight on the two supports proving too great that caused the floor to fall. Had Mrs. Wagner been a step nearer the stove she would have gone with it in a fall of ten feet into the cellar and would have landed on top of the burn ing mass. The two carpenters who were in the cellar at the time of the accident, Jerry Diehl and William Robinson, both had narrow escapes. The accident caused a great deal of excitement in Washingtouville.a great many people burying to the scene,and for a while greatly exaggerated rum ors were afloat. Postmaster Robbed. G. W.

Newspapers are constantly importun ed to print free notices for this, that and the other thing,and when the pub ! Ushers call a halt the "old subscrib er," the "constant readei," and "an old admirer," very often become huffy and condemn the publications for be ing stingy and without a charitable spirit. Asking a newspaper for free readers is the same thing as a newspaper man going into a clothing store and after buying a suit of clothes asking the clothier to throw in a vest or hat free because* the reporter bought a suit, it i- identical, yet many fail to see it in the same light. Those who seek free notices never stop to think that the publisher has to pay a printer for putting the notice in type, that the ink costs so much, that the paper costs so much, that to serve and carry the paper costs so much, the gas used, the wear on the machinery, and everything costs, which the pub lisher must pay,yet these "free notice grafters" feel slighted if they are not accommodated.

' PROPOSITION IS GROWING The proposition to build a road seventy-five feet wide across the State ol Pennsylvania,to take in the central counties, and to extend from Philadel phia t-i Pittsburg, will increase in fa vor as it more widely considered. The necessity for such a road is so ob vious 11; it tl ii will be little real op position to it. Pennsylvan ii ha entered upon an era of modest road building without trenching upon the big surplus in the State treasury. There has been con siderable talk of using the reserve in divers public undertakings, for the avowed purpose of dissipating it. At present the State's income appears ample for this work, and if there be no disposition to reduce this income, at the next -e-sion of the legislature, assuredly the work could be begun and finished without reducing the surplus or diverting too much of tho State's income from ordinary channels. The advantages of good roads are many and they hav beeu set forth so convincingly for so many y ears that it would be a waste of time to repeat them. An objection now made to the proposed road aero..- the State is that il is advocated byautoniobilists and is intended for their especial use. That can be denied very emphatically. But what if it were true? Would that fact make the roads the less useful to any body also who might want to use them? The same objection was raised when it was proposed to improve all roads by a division of the costs be tween the State and tho counties and | townships. But those townships that I have had their roads improved find 1 that the people generally are the great beneficiaries and that tho auto people are benefited only incidentally. When an improvement is bound to , benefit a whole township, or a whole i county, or a whole State, it is a mat ter of little importance that an in dividual, or a set of individuals, pro | post's that improvement and pushes it ; to consummation.

Isaac Forivil,an employe of the Read ing iron works, Mourday narrowly es caped sustaining a fractured skull; as it was he received a shocking gash on the bead, which severed two arteries and necessitated the insertion of near ly a dozen st itches. Mr. Forred was assisting the brick layers in the r. pairing of furnaces. The accident occurred while removing one of the furnace doors, which are raised and lowered by a heavy iron lever. Instead of using a "fork" de signed for detatching the door a pud dle bar, which stood convenient, was brought into requisition. The latter did not answer the purpose very well and the result was that the bar, to which was attached a weight of seventy-five pounds, fell, striking Mr. Forred on the right side of the head with stunning force. The man was completely knocked out for the time being, while the flow of blood was frightful. George Stnvusler another employe, stood near and the bar as it fell struck him on tin shoulder. Mr. Strausler was painfully though not seriously in jured, while lie .sufficed to break the force of the low, which otherwise would no doubt have fractured Fur red's skull. .

On motion, therefore, it was ordered that diplomas likewise be granted to the last three named provided that they successfully pass the examinations. Treasurer Scliram presented his re port. which showed a cash balance on hand of $2216.81. Borough Superintendent Gorily read a letter from Hon. Fred Ikeler, of Bloomsburg, in which he acknowledg ed receipt of invitation and stated that he would deliver the address to the graduating class at commencement. C. C. Carpenter Resigns. Charles C. Carpenter, physical di rector at the Y. M. U. A.,for the past four years, has tendered his resigna tion to the hoard of directors to take effect on June Ist. The surprise and regret that the news of Mr. Carpenter's resignation will cause among his many friends iu Danville will be intermingled with delight and congratulations when it is told that the engagement of Miss Jes sie R. Kramer to Mr. Carpenter has been announced. The young couple will be married on Wednesday, the 23rd of this month. Mr. Carpenter has decided only re cently to tak the step of severing his connections with the Danville V. M. C. A. He in under consideration sev eral busiji< - - propositions, to one of which he will devote himself in the future Just at present, however, he has not full j decided \\ here he will go. Mr. Carpenter canii to Danville near ly four years a:n from Reading, his home town, to take charge of the phy sical culture department of the Dan villi Y M. <ll i< talents in this line are mo.-t marked and he im liicdiatt I> achieved success in Ins work, wiiicli time ha- only served to augment. Hi- relations with the board of director- and with the men and boys in hi class hav been most pleasant and of great profit to the latter. Mr. Caipenter, with the true spirit of the amateur physical culturist did not eonfini his attention to indoor work, but judiciously directed the at tention of iiis pupils to the interesting out of door sports during the open sea sons The devotees of has • ball, tennis and the other gami are indebted to Mr. Carpenter for many a fine time and a good "battle," fairly waged. TYPHOID FEVER h COSTS sllOOlllO "Typhoid fever is costing Pennsy lvania a money loss of about fourteen million dollars a year," declared Health Commissioner Samuel G. Dix on at a public meeting at West Ches- ■ tor Tuesday night,and he strongly urg ■ ed upon the citizens the necessity of . sanitary sewage disposal. Dr. Dixon stated that the as yet im perfect vital statistics of the depart- ; I nieut of health showed that during January last there were in Pennsyl vania 3350 deaths from typhoid. ONE DEATH TO TEN CASES. "Estimating the proportion of deaths to cases at about one in ten, as we have a right to do," said Dr. Dixon, "there were it is safe to say, 3,850 | cases of this pestilential torturing dis- j ease in Pennsylvania in January. This is something frightful to contemplate. "Consider the suffering,the distress, the anxiety, the domestic disturbance, the days of anguish and the nights of torture, the burning heats, the glacial chills, the consuming thirst, the rack ing pains which often mark a single case, and then multiply that by thirty odd thousands and you will begin to appreciate what typhoid means to the people of this Commonwealth. VICTIM VALUED AT |3,000. "All things considered we should not be going to an extreme if we valu ed the life of the average typhoid vic tim at $3,000. Among them of course are men of immense value, and men whose value to the community as fact ors in the production of wealth and prosperity is beyond all estimate. "Taking typhoid deaths as they go, , old and 3'onug, rich and poor, produc- j ers and non-producers, and accepting the valuation named above, we find that the State of Pennsylvania lost iu lives alone iu the month of January ! last over a million dollars. Should this rate of mortality continue for the year it is not difficult to make the calcula tion that the loss for the year will be over twelve millions, a sum nearly sufficient to pay the running expenses of the State government for that period. LOSS IN WAGES. "The average duration of a case of typhoid is not less than six weeks. The loss of productive labor during the illness of the individual cannot better be estimated than by days' wages. This of course is placing it on the low est possible level. No child, however, should be a productive laborer before the age of fifteen. Comparatively few are. But as already said, typhoid is not so much a disease of youth or old age, but of early and middle adult life. We shall b< making due allowance on this score, therefore, if we estimate the number of cases at 2,500. '.>0,000 DAYS OF LABOR LOST. "Averaging the period of illness at forty-two days, and leaving out Sun days, we have then thirty-six days of enforced idleness for each individual, or 1)0,000 days of work lost to the State. I think it will be conceded that §1.50 per day is not an excessive wage. Hence the money loss would amount to 1135,000. "I have said nothing of tho expense to the family on account of loss of time by those who nurse, of doctors' bills, of drugs and funeral expeness. Leaving out the family expenses the annual loss to the State from typhoid fever at the rate at which it prevailed during the month of January, 15)06, sums u]) to $13,680,000. " "Every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost,' has been up to this time the selfish principle of ac tion in all schemes for the disposal of sewage in this State and Nation. It is time that we should take a juster and more righteous view of the question. We begin at the wrong end of the pro position. We introduce copious sup plies of water into our towns, which we have no provision for getting rid of. What we should do if we were longheaded and farseeiug, would be first to build our sewer system with an adequate sewage purification plant, anil when that is complete, bring in our abnudaut water. Then we could return it pure and limpid to the stream whence we took it, without having it on our conscience that we are sending death and desolation to other com munities. The present scheme of op eration has been not inaptly compared to 'putting the cart before the horse.' " Masonic Building. A movement has takeu definite shape to erect a Masonic building in Sun bury which will be the property of the order. This question has beeu agitat ed for some time and at present about 10 thousand dollars lias been subscrib ed for tho purpose. This is about one third the amount that is needed and the projectors believe that the entire amount can be raised in a short time. Civil Service Examinations. An examination for the position of clerk (male and female) and carrier (male) will be held at the post office in this city on May 26th., 15)06. For application blanks, and for full information relative to the examina tion, qualifications, duties, salaries, vacations, promotions, etc., address Secretary, board of civil service ex aminers, post office, city. Presented With a Badge. At a regular meeting of Montour Lodge No. 101), I. O. O. F., held Mon day night, John R. Hughes was pre sented with a beautiful charm for the watch chain iu recognition of his ser vices as organist. The charm contains the Odd Fellows' emblem on one side and the Masonic emblem on t he other Verdict for Danville Hospital. Judge Evans, at Bloomsburg yester day, directed that $3027.85 be return- j ed to the plaintiff in the action of the trustees of the Danville hospital for the insane vs. county of Columbia. The action grew out of the placing in 1 the hospital of patients from the Cou yugliam and Centralia poor district, .and the failure to pay for their main tenance at the institution. Two more bodies were discovered iu the exploded East Buck Mountain col liery at Shenandoah yesterday, which makes the total list of dead number seven. The names of the men found yester day are Walter and Joseph \\ inoski. The bodies were found under tons of debris and were horribly mutilated. The injured men are all out of danger The coroner's jury is making a thorough investigation but up to last 112 nigl.t had not rendered a decision. SOME FA MOTS WOMEN BtAUTIES WHO HAVE FIGURED IN THE FATE OF NATIONS. ll»e l'«\u*r Hiid tl»«» Tragic Kii<iin« of Henrietta Stunrt :iii«l tie l*oiiipudoiir—l.ouifia of I'rii.sNSu.Wlio Won sil«»*iu From Napoleon. It is curious that no picture gallery has ever I>o«*11 made of the beautiful women who lia\«■ influenced history. From the days OJ the Egyptian tjuecii many a du 1 pa :<■ of luMory has been lighted up by : ome fair face that has brought a little human interest into the dry and cold calculations of ...nl politicians. Antony was not the last politician whose course was influenct : by beau ty. Think of the beautiful Louisa of Prussia Jesting with Napoleon for a kingdom. "1 knew that 1 was to see the most beautiful queen In existence," said Napoleon to Talleyrand after a banquet given a her honor, ''but I have found tli • i.• t i . autiful queen and at the same time tL».* most inter esting woman in the world.' And Lou isa had won from him the restoration of Silesia. it is said. Indeed, that she laughingly offered him a rose in exchange 1 <»r the fortress of Magdeburg, but .Napoleon was one of the iron men of the world, lie kept the flower and Magdeburg. A book of ' Beautiful Women," by llallctt Ilyatt. has pictures of some of the most beautiful women that have ever lived, and Mrs. Steuart Erskine has gathered their romantic stories. One comes upon a picture of Eliza I'arren. the net re who began life by playing chi dish part-, in a strolling company at: I advanced to fame in Lon don as Miss Hardeastle in "She Stoops i to Conquer." She became a favorite in i society anil married the twelfth Lord Derby, when she "lived happily ever after," taking her place at court and j in society. No barriers are insurmount- j | able to the career of beauty. 112 Here is the picture of "Madame/' the ; beautiful Henrietta Stuart, ywmgest j j daughter of Charles 1., who. married j 1 the iMik • of Orleans. The features i seem hard and the expression some what coi I and stately. She would ap pear a woman move of brain than ten- j dermss. In reaPiy she had a sparkling ; wit. with that wonderful gift of per- | sonal magnetism "All men loved and j most v "men . lorei her." wrote a gal- , laut Frenchman In his memoirs. Life in the i. Tench court was a con tinual round of pleasure, and the days were passed in ballets and theatricals. In the morning madante would drive out with her ladies, to !> • escorted on their return by King Louis XIV. and his court on horseback. After supper tlie\ would !! drive out, accompanied l»y Lulli's v. ilia . to watch the moon light <>ii tl: 1 water and talk the moon shine of lo\ ers. Five year later u.auame was the king's ?!'U. y adviser an 1 the only me dium of < niuui* avion between him and her brother, Charles 11. It was in the sprite- of 1670 that she brought about that secret treaty of Dover that made Charles a Ilia ui .Catholic and plunged En.-land into war with Hol land. That was the summit of inadame's power. The sequel was ghastly and dramatic. A few v. e. a i tier she was at St. Cloud in-the flush of high spirits at her success. A glass of iced chicory water was brought at her request, and she drank il off quickly. Five minutes later madaine was no more. All the power of her fascination and beauty was ended by a secret poison. As the pages are turn; 1 the portrait of a lady in a brocaded dtvs- appears, a face wiiTi a very d .> forehead and expressionh -s ii; This Is the famous Mme. de Pompadour. 1 T :r birth was very humble in'e'i. but sl. 1 cair.e in the wity m of Louis M v.. \v! > g.e her unlimited influence t ;1 became a recognized power in Europe. For many years she conduct! 1 the foreign policy of France, interviewing ambas sadors and treating with kings. Re bufl'ed by Frederick the Great, this amazing woman made overtures to Maria Theresa of Austri t to divide Ids kingdom between them, and, sitting in her summer h ease, she crayly arranged with a couple of diplomats the reparti tion of Europe. Moreover, but for the freedom she gave to her personal likes and dislikes, it is not improbable that she would have accomplished some of the less wild of her schemes. Her dramatic end lias often been told. In tl.e midst of a discussion oil at airs of state, as she sat rouged : ml powdered in her chair, the cere who was with her rose to go. She detaliu d him. "One mo ment, M. le Cure," he said, "we will take our departure together." And a few minutes later the beautiful diplo matist was dead. The portrait of the unlucky Marie Antoinette, frank, queenly, superb, of whom l'.urke rapturously wrote, "(Jllt teriug like the morning star, full of life and splendor and joy.'' is here too. Re call her life at the Petit Trianon, that miniature palace with the Corinthian pillars, where she wandered about un attended and no one rose at her ap proach. It Is always grimly pathetic that the one French queen who a little fulfilled the part that we have been taught to uipect from a queen should have been sacrificed to the mad rage of the revolution. Angelica Kauffman was the child of a Tyrolese peasant, who made her way by the force of her arils', ic Kit ts as well as her b-»auty. She was one of the original members of the Iloval acad emy. I.ike many a beautiful woman who never become* fan ..us, she was married secretly to an adventurer wbo passed himself off as Count Frederick de Horn. Too late she discovered that he had been a footman to that person and no more, an 1 for some ten > ears she was blackmailed by this adven turer ■ \Va*<'. n-ton Post. FACTS ABOUT MEXICO.
