BETTED SERVICE
A number of our citizens think
there should be better train service
between Danville and the cities of
Philadelphia and New York, as well
as an improvement in the service be
tween this city and Williamsport.
They are talking up the matter and
will probably a little later join a
similar agitation, started in neighbor
ing towns, which should result in
bringing about improved service.
One of the favors asked of the P. &
R. railway is that the accommodation
north which leaves Danville at 7 :53 a.
in. be run through directly to Wil
liamsport, instead of stopping at West
Milton as at present, an arrangement
which necessitates a wait of about an
hour at the latter place. A petition
to the above effect will be presented
to the P. & R. railway company at an
early date.
The same company in all probability
will be asked, if feasible, to run the
"annex" now in use at Milton, over
to Danville at night, connecting with
the late train from Philadelphia. Such
a schedule would give people living iu
Danville an opportunity to transact
business in the metropolis, going aud
returning the same day.
There are a number of business men
i n favor of starting an agitation in
Danville similar to what is on foot in
Bloomsburg and Berwick,with a view
to securing an early morning train on
the D. L. & W. railroad, which would
make it practicable togo to New York
and back in the same day. Such a
train is on the Bchedule at present, but
it comes no further west than Ply-
The Berwick and Bloomsburg peo
ple are working very hard to get the
train to oome as far dowu as the lat
ter place. Should this be accomplish
ed Blooms burg people could leave for
New York about 6 a. m.and reach
home between 10 and 11 p. m.the same
day.
Our neighbors up the river have
strong hopes of seouring the train,but
why it should stop at Bloomsburg
seems enigmatical. Danville or even
Northumberland should be the term
inus and evidently would be, if the
people of those towns showed the pro
per interest in the matter and put
forth a strong effort to obtain it.
Murderer Goes Mad.
While alone in his cell in the Sunbury
prison Monday night Win. Whittaker,
held for the murder of his wife, was
seized with a sudden mania and in iiis
raving smashed his chair, table and
washstand.and all the other breakable
articles in the room. When Warden
McDonnell opened the cell on Tuesday
morning the floor was strewn with de
bris, and Whittaker was lying on his
iron bed, the only thing he did not
break, in a state of ntter exhaustion.
The cause of this strange outbreak no
one seems able to fathom. The jail
officials and county authorities are
skeptical and think the murderer is
shamming insanity to escape the death
penalty. On the other hand Whittaker
has been examined by alienists and
they are not at all sure that he is in
his right mind.
Lying bound within the four stone
walls of his narrow cell through the
long nights, hannted by the spectre of
his dying wife lying on the floor of
her mother's home with blood pouring
from a long gash in her throat, his
fears have overthrown his reason.
Tortured by a dread of the gallows,
which daily seems nearer, and which
he feels utterly unable to escape, the
wretched man lives in abject terror,
his strength gone, and his iron nerve
broken.
Phone Message of Fire.
While William Rider, south of
Bloomsburg, was at supper on Sunday
evening he was called to the telephone
when he was informed by a man liv
ing two miles away that his home was
on fire. An investigation showed the
information to be correct and the fire
had made so much headway that the
house was destroyed though much of
the fnrnitrue was saved.
One In a Million.
About three years ago Mrs. Mary
Rossiter, of Chester, gave a man wiio
appeared to be a tramp, a shirt, stock
ing and 2a cents, as she took pity on
him because of his forlorn looking
condition. On Thursday she received
a brief letter from a stranger recalling
her kindness and enclosing $25 as a
token of appreciation.
Object to the Name.
Residents of Lemon street, Mt. Oar- !
mel, do not like the name at all in
these days of the slang word. So ob
jectionable is it tosomethat they will
ask the borough dads to change the
name of the street.
GET RID OF THE
OLD CEMETERY
Now that the pavement ou North
Mill street and the extension of the
sewer system into the fourth ward are i
assured facts itjis, indeed, to be re- !
gretted that civic prido does not as- I
serrt itself in another direction and
inaugurate some movement that will j
rid the borougli of the unsightly old
Bloom street.
It is known fact that the
disused cemetery was long ago tender
ed the municipality for a park. It is
equally patent to all that the borougli i
has seemingly taken no cognizance of
the offer. The old cemetery year af- j
ter year has been falling into a worse
state of decay and dilapidation, and !
the borough , which is sadly in need
of a park, is still without a place of
ornament and recreation, when it
might have one centrally located al
most for the asking.
There never was a time more suit
able for action in the matter than the
present. While working on the exten
sion of sewer and the reconstruction
of streets the borough could carry
along the improvement in the park
with very little extra work or ex
pense. It is a well kuowu fact that
j those who have iu hand the improve
ments on foot are casting about for
some central place on which may be
deposited the vast quantity of earth
accruing from the long line of sewers
to be laid in the fourth ward. The
quantity of ground that cannot be re
placed in the trenches, in the aggre
gate would be sufficient to fill up a
large part of the cemetery, obliterat
ing the graves where these are wholly
neglected and abandoned. Besides ex-
I tending the sewer the borough con
templates making extensive repairs on
Upper Mulberry street. The hill will
be cut down nearly a foot for a con
siderable distance. Where to deposit
the earth removed is now a problem,
which would be solved, should the
borough see its way clear to take over
the old cemetery.
Clearly the matter is up to council
and now that the whole thing is be
ginning to appear like a very good
proposition, if nothing is done, the
members should not feel surprised if
the general public by and by begins to
indulge in some criticism. The old
cemetery is one of the first things the
councilmanic committee on puolic im
provements should give attention to.
It is trne, all this may cost money
and that the borough is uot prepared
to assume additional outlay at present
But why not determine whether means
: to carry on the work could not be ob
i tained from private sources. It would
i be a sorry reflection on our townto as
i sume that money could not be raised
' by popular subscription to aid so com
-1 mendable a work. Let the trial be
j made and it is pretty safe to affirm
that the civic pride of Danville will
i manifest itself equal to the emergen
j cy.

Black Hand!" This declaration was
; made yesterday by Nicholas Gedro,
victim of the murderous revolver of
I Anthony Yuuada, as he lay on a cot
in the Miners' hospital at Fountain
' Springs, suffering excruciating pain
j from the nine leaden missiles irnbed
. ded in various parts of liis anatomy.
Gedro, as is known to this paper's
j readers was attacked on North street
j Marion Heights, last Thursday night
and wounded so badly that it was
thought he had no chance for recov
ery. His remarkable vitality, how
ever, stood him in good stead and be
fore he was in the hospital twenty
four hours the surgeons who pronounc
ed his case hopeless at first were forc
ed to admit that he had a fighting
j chance.
The wounded man lias steadily im
proved, and yesterday word from the
bedside was to the effect that lie will
j recover.
The statemeut made yesterday was
to a friend from Shamofein, who visit
ed the victim. It is short, but full of
sinister meaning. Thirst for revenge
has snatched Gedro from the grave.
The would-be murderer has not yet
been apprehended, although the offic
ers are still searching for him.
The Chief's "Thrilling Chase".
The capture of Charles Sutton, who
escaped from the Montour county jail,
by Chief of Police Mincemoyer and
Sheriff D. C. Williams, last Sunday,
has been going the rounds of the State
! newspapers. Eacli time it bubs up in
some new paper, fresh thrills are ad
' ded to it.
! The facts of the case as set forth in
the Morning News of last Monday
morning were sufficiently thrilling,
but the "story" was evideutly not
sensational enough for the other edi
tors of the State.
Here is one of the forms in which
the story appeared in the Scranton
Republican on Tuesday :
Special to the Republican.
WILKES-BARRE, Pa., April 29.
One of the most sensational captures
of an escaped jail breaker ever affect
ed occurred early this morning along
the D. L. & W. railroad near Milton,
when Chief of Police Mincemoyer, of
Danville, leaning far out of a speed
ing locomotive, seized Charles Sutton
by the collar and swung him on board,
a prisoner.
Sutton broke out of the Montour
county jail several hours before and
tried to escape along the railroad.
Sheriff Williams and Chief Mince
moyer got a locomotive crew together
and started in pursuit. While run
ning about twenty miles an hour they
suddenly espied in the glare of the
headlight,Sutton leaning back against
a box car on the adjoining track to
let the locomotive pass.
He was unsuspicious of such speedy
pursuit and did not realize it until
Mincemoyer's strong arm shot out and
seized iiim, and lie was hauled aboard
the locomotive which did not stop un
til after the capture was effected.

THIS YEAR'S
CROP OUTLOOK
A largo grain dealer, speaking of
present rumors of damage to the wheat 1
crop does not regard the matter as a
calamity. He makes the point that
there still remain of the old crop some i
thing like 250,000,000 bushels, and
adds: "Suppose you lose 75,000,000 or
100,000,001) bushels of tlie coining crop
—that the damage we are talking i
about will shorten it that much. The j
result would be an advance of probab- |
ly ten cents on the eating price of the |
230,000,000 bushels yet to be brought |
forward, and also on the new produc- j
tion. That would be a pretty good j
thing all around. Wheat would cease |
to overwhelm the railroads or to lie !
ou the ground and rot, as it has been
doing for want of adequate storage
facilities and cars to move it cut of
the country where it was grown.
Wheat is not the ranking crop. A loss
in wheat could be made up in corn
and cotton. In the southwest, where
the wheat is destroyed, farmers can
sow the grouud in cotton or corn.
Such a falling oil' in the production of
wheat this year as lam looking for, ;
while it might affect the stock market
semtimentally for a little while would
in the eud prove profitable to the
farmers, the railroads and the coun
| try."

A Unique Hobo.
There drifted into town \esterday
i afternoon a unique specimen of the
[ "tramps." The man cheerfully admits
! that he is a tramp, but travels under
the novel soubriquet of " A No.
! this name being given to him years
ago when he first started out to "hit
the road," as he expresses it.by an old
man, who when told of the manner of
the boy's life, said: "Well, if you
1 must be a tramp, be an A. No. 1
tramp," and so under this name lie
I has gone ever since.
It is scarcely probable that any other
j tramp of his character and experience
is in existence today. He has been on
the road over since he was 11 years of
! age. He is now 35 years of age and
during the twenty-four years he has
traveled approximately 150, miles,
92,000 miles of this being on water.
He has visited almost every country
on the globe and every hamlet in the
| United States and Canada. Iu all his
travels he has expended only $7.56 for
car fare. In 1906 he traveled 31,000
miles and expended 26 cents for fares
and since the Ist of January of this
year he has traveled 4,800 miles.
He is a most interesting conversa
tionalist and during his travels has
educated himself to a high degree so
that he can speak and write flaeutly
in English. German, Spanish and
French, while on all current topics he
converses readily. He is distinctly the
opposite of the ordinary tramp, for
though he beats his way over the coun
try so far as railroads are concerned,
he pays his own way in the matter of
clothing and edibles, making his way
by carving potatoes, in which lie pro
duces some wonderful effects and in
numerous other ways which he has of
earning money. His clothes are the
acme of cleanliness. He appeared any
thing but a tramp, attired in a tailor
made suit, freshly creased trousers, a
clean white collar and well blackened
shoes, with a pair of gold eye glasses
attached to his coat with silk,yet in a
roll nearby were his traveling suit,
consisting of blue drilling overalls and
coat, a pair of leather gauntlets and a
blue polka dot handkerchief for his
neck.
On his suspenders lie wears a gold
medal which was given him by the
owner of the Police Gazette, together
with SI,OOO in cash, for making the
quickest record in beating his way
from San Francisco to New York He
performed this feat in eleven days and
six hours.
Recently he closed a contract with a
large magazine by which that concern
will publish the story of his life and
if as a writer he is as much of a suc
cess as he is a conversationalist his
story ought to attract wide attention.
He carries with him a book, in whicli
are recorded his travels, newspaper
clippings, etc., and the earil.s of many
of the railroad and city detectives
from the greatest railway lines and
cities of the country. He is now mak
ing his way to the Jamestown exposi
tion, where he expects to spend some
time. He left on an afternoon train
southward.
A New Team.
H. J. Jones has purchased a new
team for Ui?e in his scavanger wagon.

HOSPITAL'S
BIENNIAL REPORT
This paper is in receipt of a copy of j
the official reports of the trustees and
officers of the State hospital for the |
insane at Danville which just at the ■
present time, when public attention j
is attracted by the big appropriation
before the governor, possesses rather j
more than usual interest.
The report covers the period between
October 1, 1904, and September 30, ■
1906 It is well worth a perusal, as
many facts may be gleaned reflecting
general efficacy and wise management
in the care of the insane that other
wise might be lost sight of, no matter
how many visits be made to the hos
pital.
The superintendent's report presents
an interesting table, which shows the
movement of population for the bien
nial period. The number of patients
in the hospital September 30, 1904,
were 1197 ;admitted during the period,
439; whole number under treatment,
1636; discharged during the period,
357 ; recovered, 81; improved, 83 ; un
improved,2s; died 25; number of in
sane remaining September 30, 1906,
1279; number of inebriates remaining
September 30, 1904 , 3; admitted dur
ing the period, 4; discharged, 4; in
ebriates remaiuiug September 30,1906,
3 ; total patients remaining September
30. 1906, 1282; highest number under
treatment any one day, 1286; lowest
number, 1198; average number under
treatment, 1249 26.
The original capacity of the insti
tution was 350 of each sex. This num
ber has begn increased in recent years
to 500 men and 450 women. The pres
ent number shows 332 above the nor
mal capacity of the building.
The majority of this excess are pro
vided with beds in the sitting rooms,
attic, halls and by crowding addition
al beds into the regular dormitories,
leaving 63 men and 25 women occupy
ing temporary beds upon the floor of
hallways.
The special hospital work carried on
by Mrs. Meredith, assisted by Dr. Ida
Ashenhurst, is a feature at the hos
pital, which many persons are not
familiar with. The handiwork of the
patients is displayed in a large glass
show case in one of the visiting wards
The designs of fine needle work are
handsome and varied and are sold to
visitors. A gross income of |513,67
has been produced from this source,
which is applied to replenishing the
library.
The farm and garden, under the
able management of James 0. Warner
and James Baynham, have proven
very productive. More laud, how
ever, is desired in order to increase
the dairy product. Good rich milk is
essential in the treatment of mental
disorders and outside of what the
farm produces the hospital is obliged
to expend between $6,000 and $7,000
for milk annually.
Tha table showing the occupation of
the patients admitted is not without
interest. From the beginning 1C96
tanorerjr riaro oeen atrnmrrea, -wtntrti is
j the largest number in the table. The
| next highest are "farmers", 604 of
whom have been admitted. Miners
come next, 408 of these iiaving been
| admitted. Among the trades carpeu-
I tering seems to be the most conducive
to mental ab9rration as 120 of this oc
j cupatiou have gone to the hospital
j since the beginning.
Several occupations seem conducive
Ito a state of mental equilibrium.
I There is only one "editor" shown in
the table taking in the entire history
of the institution. There is also only
! one stove moulder, one motorman.one
street car conductor, one oystermau,
one packer, one postmaster, oue shoe
; dealer, one stenographer.

BLACK HAND ACTS
ON PUBLIC STREET
Nicholas Gecko,an Italian, was shot, j
probably fatally, at Marion Heights,
near Shamokin, Friday evening by
Andrew Ynnada. The assassin is at'
largo. The crime looks more like the '
work of the Black Hand than any re- !
cent crimi! in the region.
On North street, Marion Heights, ;
under the glare of an electric light, at
an hour when many residents of the
place were still awake, Yuuada walk
ed up to his victim and whipping out
a revolver, fired. After emptying the
weapon aud 3 shots from a second
weapon into the prostrate man, then
fled. He has not yet been located. It |
is supposed that he either went to .
Shamokin or Mt. Carniel and was j
there gotten out of the way by the
agents of the Black Haud,posted to be
on the lookout for him, and aided in
his escape. Gedro's body had nine
bullet holes in it. He is still living |
at the Ashland hospital and has a bare i
chance of recovery. The assassiu is |
described as being five feet seven 1
inches iu height aud slim. He was
smooth shaven aud has a long nose.
It will be remembered that Gedro is
the mau who, about three months ago,
spent some time in the Northumber
land county jail at his own request,
alleging that he lived in mortal terror
of meeting death by the Black Hand
agents. At that time startling dis
closures were made including the state
ment that the Black Hand was
thoroughly organized in Northumber
land county with headquarters at Sha
mokin. About two years ago he was
stabbed but after a long illness recov
ered.
Gedro himself is a bad mau. He has
figured in numerous law suits aud is
regarded with suspicion bv Marion
Heights residents. This feeling was
shown by the difficulty iu getting any
one togo with him to the hospital.
No one liked him well enough to take
the journey but finally a countryman
consented togo with the wounded
mau.

A FLAT FAILURE.
Concerning the ash-burning delusiou
! the second sober thought is coming to
some localities. For instance the Hun-
I tingdou Reformatory Record reports
au experiment by the master mechanic
of the reformatory which resulted in
flat failure. He made a mixture of 700
pounds of coal, 1,500 pounds of ashes,
with a solution of salt and soda ash.
At no time Aras the fire hot euough to
make steam aud at the expiration of
au 8-hour test 1,490 pounds of ashes
were taken from the furnace.
"BUG BOOK."
In some comments on the proposed
work of State Zoologist Surface on
the iusects of tlie State, the Scrautou
Republican says: "There seem to be
some reason to believe that a "bug
book," as the facetious legislatures
term it, may be a good tiling after
all. It is just beginning to be realiz
ed that people of great intelligence
and finished education know very lit
tle about insect life and the ravages
it makes on not only crops and orch
ards. but on the very foundation of
commerce and transportation."

Was Well Known Character.
Peter Zeliff is doad at Suubury at
the age of 80 years. Twenty-five years
ago when the "graveyard insurance"
craze was at its height, he was a fav
orite subject. At that time insurance
policies were taken out by all whom
the speculative craze touched,and their
numbers were many.on any one whom
they thought moribund. Zeliff at that
time was a thin-faced, consumptive
looking man, but was really in sound
health.
He used to play a cough for all that
it was worth and people thought he
was next door to the grave. He was
paid a sum for the privilege of allow
ing the speculators to insure his life
and he reaped a rich harvest in this
field. It is said that he made as much
as $5,000 when the craze was at its
height and that at one time he was
insured for upwards of SIOO,OOO.

Should Amend This Law.
That the primary election law now
goveruing party primaries in this State
ought to be amended is shown by num
erous inconsistencies and puzzling pro
positions. For instance, the primaries
! must be held on the first Saturday in
| June which this year is June 1. The
county commissioners must canvass
I the returus on the following Wednes
day, which is June 5. The State con
ventions must be held within one
1 week of the primaries. Chairman And
j rews has called the Republican State
convention for Thursday, June 6, the
day after the commissioners meet to
canvass the vote. The question is;
Can the delegates get their certific
ates in time to attend the convention?
An amendment lengthening the time
between the primaries and the assem
bling of the convention would mend
matters without doing any harm.

EDITOR WAS FORGED
TO TELL TROTH
Tiio editor i«f a paper iu Indiana I
grew tired of being called a liar, and j
announced that he would tell the truth j
in the future, and the next issue of
his paper contained the follow iup
j news:
"John Bouin, the laziest merchant
in town, made a trip to Bellville yes- !
terday.
"John Coyle, our grocerynian is do- ;
ing poor business. His store is dirty

"Married—Miss Sylvan Rhoades aud
I James Conlin. last Saturday at the
j Baptist parsonage. The bride is a very
! ordinary town girl who doesn't know
any more about cooking than a jack
rabbit does and never helped her moth
er three days in her life. She is not a
beauty by any means, and has a gait

"The governor of our great State, a

Organ Grinders Old Cronies.
Two liurdy gurdies discoursed
music on Mill street yesterday. The
musicians were a couple of old friends
who have been visiting Danville to
gether for many years past. The com
petition therefore was of a friendly
sort, so that if harmony was lacking
in the music it was clearly visible in
the relations between the two men.
The organ grinders explained that
they liave only recently returned from
the south. When winter comes on in
this latitude they follow the robins
and the blue birds to the sunnv south,
where they mingle their tuneful lays
with the dulcet melodies of singing
birds.
The two men who appeared in this
city yesterday spent the winter in
Charleston and other large cities of
the Sonth. A number of organ grind
ers goto Italy eacli winter, returning
to this country as summer approaches.
Five Bodies Being Removed.
Several bodies belonging to the Eve
ritt family were disinterred in the old

Each of the bodies removed was con
signed to the earth more than fifty

following persons: Fannie Everitt,
who died in 1829; James Everitt and
his wife Isabel, who died respectively
in 1859 and 1849 ; Obed Everitt and his
wife Mary, who died at a slightly lat
er date.
The Everitt family was an old and
prominent one in this section. Al
though he formerly lived in this coun
ty Obed Everitt, at the time of his
death, resided in Oolumbia county
near Bloomsburg.
Deafness Cannot be Cured.
by local applications as thev caunot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous iiu
| ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a ram
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for anycase of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.
