Gen'l Mm' hg» r ONLJ BUR 10 SMALLPOX When asked what he thought of the agitation to have the legislature repeal the vaccination law, State Health Com missioner Samuel G. Dixon said that the records of the past two weeks iu his department should convince the people of the State that the only thing they had to do to have smallpox run riot through Pennsylvania was to take down the barriers that are beiug thrown up against it by vaccination. "A few days ago," said Health Commissioner Dixon, "we received word that a child that had never beeu vaccinated had been brought from Watkins, New York, to Wells, Brad ford county. Pa., aud had attended a school in Wells township for three days, having smallpox at the time. "The disease spread rapidly and there were striking examples of the penalty for the uuvacciuated. In one household.all the members of the fam ily except a young lady who had beeu vaccina ed were stricken dowu witli smallpox." "I cau tell you what," continued Dr. Dixon, "there wasn't much trou ble when that outbreak started to get the uuvacciuated iu that community to submit to vaccination. "Another uuvacciuated child was receutly brought into a small village in Cumberland county from Ohio, and three other cases resulted. • Again, only the other day we re ceived a message stating that a resi dent ol Columbia,Pa.,had gone to pay a visit to a neighboring State,and up on his return homo went dowu with smallpox. "Wheu we have endeavored to have the vaccination law enforced iu the rural co nrnunities we have frequently been met by the statement that there had not been a case of smallpox iu the community for years,aud therefore the people saw no necessity of being vac cinated. "But to quote the strong argument of Chief Justice Mitchell of the su preme court of Pennsylvania: 'immun ity for forty years in the past affords no guaranty of immuuity for even forty days iu the future if a chance visitor from au infected locality or a borough resident returning from a vis it to such locality should bring with him the germs of infection.' "Germany and Japan are making smallpox in the empires almost a thing of the past by vaccination laws more rigid aud far-reaching than the oue we have in Pennsylvania. I can only express the hope that the legislature will take a step forward toward mak ing our la v a more effective barrier to smallpox rather than to move back ward toward such a prevalence of small-pox as existed in Germauy aud Japan before those countries bfgan to fight this horrible disease by com pulsory vaccination."

The notice stated that the men bad earned the money at the regular piece work rate, it is due them and if they wish to re ceive that rate they "may call at the office aud receive the money due them."

The deceased had not been in the best of health for some time past, but i was able to be about and was most of ! the time actively employed. He was ' seemingly in better health Monday than for some time. Duriug the forenoon he butchered. Shortly after two o'clock iu the af teruoou lie entered the house and took a seat iu the rocking chair by the side I of the stove. Seated thus lie was chat ting pleasautly with his wife, when lie suddenly expired. Mrs. Pliile heard him utter a cur , ious sound and looking around saw that he hart fallen back into the chair. She rau to his assistance but he was then breathing his Dr. Newbak | er, of this city, was immediately call ed by 'phone,but by the time lie reach eil the Pliile homestead the deceased was bcyoud all hope. Mr. Phile's sud den death was attributed to heart fail i ure. The deceased was aged 56 years. 2 mouths and 18 days. lie followed farming and butcher ing Up to a comparatively recent date he was a regular attendant at the curb stone market iu this city. No one iu the county was better kuown. He was a man of generous disposition aud houorable iu his dealings. As a con sequence he had many friends, j The deceased was married twice.

I flay Realize a Greater Danville. If a bill introduced into the legis lature by the Hon. William T. Creasy, last week, principally alluded to in connection with a "Greater Ber wick," should become a law it will impart a new aspect to the proposition advanced a year or so ago to annex South Danville aud River>ide to Dan ville, creating a "Greater Danville". I The enterprising aud prosperous l towns of South Dauville and River ! side, although ou the opposite side of ' the river.are iu effect suburbs of Dau- I ville aud their annexation would be mutually beneficial to all three places. Residents of South Dauville and Riv erside are nearly all employed iu Dan ville. They largely deal in the stores here aud mauy of the children from the south side attend our high school. Iu all affairs their interests are iden tical with those of our residents. Iu the single matter of court they are much inconvenienced aud are obliged to journey a matter of twelve miles to the couuty seat. Danville beiug the couuty seat of Montour in the matter of court alone it would be an enor i mous advantage to the south siders if the three towns were consolidated. The above have always been cousid j orations which weighed with the peo ' pie of the three towns, but under ex isting laws any plaus looking toward annexation seemed visionary and im practicable. Mr. Creasy's bill,however, would en able the burgess aud council of a bor ough or incorporated town to annex j adjacent territory in the same or ad i joiniug couuty upon petition of a maj j ority of citizens. It will bo readily : discerned that the proposed act applies ias fully to the consolidation of Dau ; ville. South Dauville aud Riverside as I it does it a Greater Berwick. For the residents of the two towns lou the south side it would solve the problem of obtaining municipal light, water and free delivery of mail,while for Dauville proper it would go a good way toward counterbalancing some of the disadvantages that accrue as the result of our county being of tuch limited area.

THE OCEAN SIRS 111 WINTER TIKE Editor American, Sir—lt may be of interest to your many readers to receive a word from this beautiful city by the sea.

When the storm was at its height (although it was with difficulty that I reached the beach) I pushed my way through the suow, as I desired to see the effect of the north-easter ou the sea. The view out over the water was cut off owing to the severity of the storm, but the blowing of the fog horns 011 the vessels that were too far out to be seen, wereplaiuly heard,aud the souml of theai was wierd in the extreme —suggesting helplessness, as if sigualiug to other vessels that were in the same couditiou Aloug the shore the scene was at once grand aud sub lime, the waves dashing up high against the jetters and bulkheads that are built for the purpose of preserving the coast liue. Though cold aud ex tremely uncomfortable for a time, I am glad tiiat I li 11 tiio pleasure of looking ou the sea in rough weather, as I eujoyed it all—wind, snow, cold aud even the antics of the sea gulls,as they were driveu about by the wind iu their search for food. From the time of my arrival iu Loug Brauch.the sea has had an especi al charm for me—it always iuterest me—aud as I have uevor visited the coast during the winter season, it was with the greatest pleasure that I strol led along the splendid new board walk (which the city is rapidly pushiug to completion) to enjoy the sea air aud gaze upon the "Old What a wonderful sight it is! As one stauds aud gazes far out over the waters, aud contemplates the vastuess of it all, the feeling of insignificance is the chief thought for a while, and the mind and heart turn instinctively to God, the Creator aud Preserver of all things.

Here is a little parable from the Titusvile Herald : "Iu a doorvard two boys are playiug. Oue is Jones and the other is Smith. The school truant offic er puts in an appearauce. Jones has beeu vaccinated aud consequently comes under the provisions of the com pulsory attendance law. He is marched off to school. Smith coutinues build ing his snow mau. Ho has not been vaccinated, so the State cannot force him togo to school and the teachers canuot permit him to do so Is there any common sense in a law like that?" But what would you have? Shall the State interfere to compel Smith's fa ther to have him vaccinated, or shall the State repeal its health-protecting law ? PRACTICAL JOKES. Some days ago a youug mau called at the office of the Oil City Blizzard, inquired the price of a "wanted" ad vertisement one time, was told, hand ed over the money aud the advertise ment and took a hurried departure. An inspection of the matter showed it to be an application for a wife,signed by a well knowu citizen. The suspic ions of the newspaper people were aroused. Investigation showed that the advertisement was intended as a prac tical joke. As the Blizzard remarks, "the smart Alecks who eudeavor to perpetrate such jokes through the newspapers should understand that it is a serious offense subjecting them not ouly to the payment of damages, but to imprisonment as well." But some practical jokers learn wisdom by j experience alone. i West Hemlock Nominations.

The six brutal robbers who tortured Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Chester with red hot irons at their home in Byrues ville.Conyugham township, Columbia county, in au endeavor to make them reveal and give up their money, have not yet been apprehended, but there is still hope they may be brought to jus tice. Chester says he distinctly recog nized three of the men as persons he had frequeutly seeu ou the streets of Ceutralia, though ho does not know their names. Although horribly scared from the hot irons with which the robbers tor tured them after binding them help less, the Chesters feel much elated ov er the fact that their assailants obtain ed only ten ceuts as their reward for their trouble. Ouly that same day Mr. Chester had sent a considerable sum of money to the old country, and it was doubtless this that the robbers wauted, but they came too late and only ten cents remained iu the house. When Chester went to the office of Dr. Gwinuer, of Ceutralia, after the out rage,aud while his limbs pained fright fully from the terrible burns, he was obliged to laugh uproarously every time be thought of the robbers getting only teu ceuts, aud ho cousidered it the greatest kind of a joke on the rob bers. This undoubtedly mitigated his sufferings considerably. When he came to the physician's office,his clothing,which had beeu slit open with the hot irons, was fastened about his limbs with safety pins. Dowu each limb was the scar from the heated iron, which had slit, his cloth ing open to the flesh as clean as a razor.

PETER DIETRICH OUT ON BAIL Peter Dietrich was admitted to bail on Saturday afternoou and now in en joying a period of highly prized free dom. The supreme court ou last Monday iu the case of Commonwealth vs. Diet rich allowed bail, the amount of the cognizance to be fixed and taken by the court below. Iu pursuance of the above Judge Evaus Saturday fixed the bail at ten thousand dollars. Bonds men were immediately forthcoming iu the persons of Joliu 11. Geoser, iV. (J. Williams, Joseph Smith,A L. Brandt, George A. Meyers and Paul P. Swen tek. Thee gentlemen signed the bail bond,after which Peter Dietrich, who had previously been brought down from jail, was called before the court aud formally discharged from prison. Mr. Dietrich had been iu jail since February 13th last, a period of over eleveu mouths. As he stepped forth into the pure air of freedom there were many to greet him and take him by the band—tried and true friends who have stood by him iu all his bit ter experiences. Saturday evening Mr Dietrich circulated in the crowd on Mill street aud seemed to eujoy the novelty of being out of doors very much. After Mr. Dietrich had received his seuteuce at the October term of court, au effort was made by his attorneys to secure a new trial and to have him admitted to bail. Judge Evans refused the new trial aud of course nothing j was done iu the matter of bail, which j was to be considered only in connec- i tioa with a uew trial. Later,when an | appeal was taken to the supreme court, ! Judge Evaus was asked to make it aj stay of execution, which he did, leav- j ing the matter of bail, which was not j brought up in this couuection, uu- touched. Later the higher court was ( asked to admit the defendant to bail, and the above action takeu last Mon day was the result. Dietrich's appeal will not be heard by the supreme court before next March.
