DANVILLE'S
, MOTE PAST
The discovery of the old deed per
taining to the cemetery ou Bloom
street described in these columns else
where affords a glimpse of the very
earliest days of the settlement.
The deed was given about the time
that William Montgomery purchased
tiie land on which Danville is situat
ed aud made a settlement here. It is a
fact that many people are not well in
formed ou the subject of settlement j
and associate William Montgomery
with the very beginning of things here,
whereas, as revealed by the old deed,
in 1776 much of the laud lying con-!
tiguous to William Montgomery's pur- ;
chase was already settled by families, j
whose descendants still abide with us. '
On the Nortli there were large tracts j
of laud belonging to John Mont-;
gomery; ou the nortiieast to Amos !
Wickersham, who sold the tract em- I
braced in the old cemetery to the i
trustees of the Maiioning cougrega- :
tiou. Besides, John Montgomery and J
Amos Wickersham there were the j
parties named in tho deed as the orig- j
inal board of church trustees, Hugh
McWilliams,John Clark,Robert Curry'
and John Simpson, all of whom were
in this vicinity prior to the date of i
William Montgomery's location here i
and who by that time, 1776, had al- i
ready established order and system
and had taken action ro organize a
church and lay out a cemetery.
The land conveyed by the old deed j
was both for church and cemetery pur
pose, the tract bought including the
site of the present Grove church. The
whole tract was covered with dense
timber and the first portion cleared
was what is now embraced in the
cemetery.
As is well-known three different j
church structures have stood on or I
near the same spot. In this connection j
it might be stated that some one has '
made the discovery that the present j
Grove church stands upon the former
site of a still house.
Widely Known Bloom flan Dead.
One of Bloomsburg's most widely j
known citizens, Russell C. Buekalew, j

Mr. Buekalew conducted a livery j
business in Bloomsburg, and was j
actively engaged at the time of his '
death. Saturday he was at Light Street
looking after a lauie horse, and had i
just eaten his dinner when slowly ilia
head fell forward and in a few minutes j
he was dead. Mr. Buekalew was a
veteran of the civil war aud a member j
of the Luiou Veteran legion. He is
survived by a wife, two sous aud one i
daughter.

• ROMAN HEAD
FISHED DP
Evidence of what was in all prob
. j ability a ilarb aud mysterious tragedy
j came to light at this place on Satur
i day, when u coal digger fished up a hu
mau head from the bottom of the riv
| er. The gruesome find was made by
i Frank Baylor and Charles Forney,
who for some weeks past have been ex
j tracting coal from the river above
town.
1 Ou Saturday morning as usual the
two young men steamed up the river
| with their dredge and resumed work
ou the deposit of river coal opposite
| Boyd's station. To be exact,the dredge
j was anchored opposite Logau run,
j about three hundred feet from the
i southern shore of the river and two
| hundred feet from the small island
that lies in the river at that point.
They were having a good forenoon
; and the day promised to pan out well.
As each "bucket" ou the endless chain
j contrivance that scoops up the coal
j from the river bottom came to the sur
face it was heavily laden with black
| diamonds reduced to the peculiar form
known as "river coal." Mi. Baylor
stood beside the buckets prepared to
throw out stones or any other extrane
ous matter that might come up with
the coal. Mr. Forney sstood in anoth
jer part of the boat and had charge of
the engine. The uniform motion ana
the hum of the machinery had its us
ual drowsy effect and the work was
| becoming exceedingly commonplace
and monotonous, when something oc- j
curred that aroused the men as they
i had never been aroused before and
brought about a state of intense excite
ment, not only on the coal digger, but
! throughout the whole comunity.
It was shortly after 10 o'clock. Mr.
Baylor had averted his face for a mo- j
ment and was just turning to keep his
eye on the "buckets," when an object
met his gaze that nearly froze the ;
blood in his veins. One of the buck- '
ets, moving slowly, had iust appeared j
above the water containing with the i
usual quantity of coal a human head, '
doubly ghastly by reason of advanced 1
composition. There was no room for
even a moment's doubt. Tiie nose was
gone, but the other features were in- i
tact. The eyes, blue in color, were ■
partly open and added to the ghastli- I
ness and horror of the specta. le. It j
required only a moment for Mr. Bay- ;
lor to act and he yelled :
' Shut her down, Charlie, shut her \
down, I believe there is a man's head j
in the bucket."
Charlie instantly obeyed aud sue- j
ceeded in bringing the machinery to a
standstill before the bucket dumped its
gruesome burden into the dredge. He
then stepped over to where his com
panion stood and viewed the ghastly
thing as it hung suspended over the i
water. He agreed that it was a hu
man head.
Thnt the young men were agitated
is putting it mildly. They had an idea
that the occasion was one that callod ;
for the coroner aud they were not sure
that they had any right to remove the I
head from the exact position ia which
it was found. It was finally decided
that one should hurry down to Dan- I
ville aud notify the authorities while |
the other should remain on the spot !
and watch the head. The latter task |
fell to Mr. Forney, while Mr. Baylor :
hurried down to Danville.
The first thing to determine was j
whether the island near which the ,
head was found was in Mcntour or in
Northumberland county. For this in
formation the young man ou arriving
in Danville applied to District Attor
ney C. P. Gearhart. It developed that
the island is in Northumberland
county and that Montour county had
nothing to do with the head.
The matter was laid before Justice
of the Peace E. W. Young, of Gear
hart township, who called up Coroner •
G. W. Dreher, of Shamokiu. Tiie lat- !
ter instructed Justice Young to hold
an inquest and to hand the head over |
to an undertaker, who, it was order- j
ed, should bury it at the expense of j
the overseers of the poor of Rush town- j
ship.
Undertaker Frank Henrie agreed to ]
take charge of the head and drove up j
J to Boyd's station to receive it.it was i
not until after the hour of noon that i
i the undertaker arrived. Meanwhile |
Mr. Forney in his gloomy vigil was
t joined by the crew of a neighboring
I dredge. All agreed tiiat in their ex
! perience ou coal diggers many odd ob
jects had been fished up from the bot
tom of the river, but that the present
i find was many times more remarkable
| than anything ever heard of before.
: Considerable time was spent inafruit
j less search about the spot ior any oth
'er portions of the man's body that
! might remain. The water, however,
j was six feet deep and the current was
| strong so that the search was unsatis
jfactory.
Justice E. W. Young,acting coroner,
held an inquest in the office of Justice
<>f the Peace W. V. Oglosby, Mill
j street, at 8 o'clock Saturday evening.
| The following jurors were choseu : J.
j H. liase, Peter ,T. Berger, R. B. Bird,
Elias Woodruff, Jacob Yeager aud
j Harvey Lowe.
I The jurors retired to view the head,
! after which they heard the testimony
of Frank Baylor and Charles Forney,
i The evidence of the latter in the main
had to do with the facts narrated
, above. Such additional testimony as
| was adduced, together with what was
\ observed by the jurors themselves, led
to the conclusion that the head had
been in the water for at least a month
that it had been washed to the spot
where it was found during or since
the last rise in the river two weeks
ago, that the head appears to have
| rolled a long distance, that it belong-
I ed to a man of probably thirty years,
| that the hair was black and had dis
| appeared with the exception of a tuft
i on the top of the head.
' All the evidences point to a brutal
! murder. The head appeared to have
been severed by a succession of
j blows dealt by an axe or like im
! plement. The side of the head bore
| the marks of a heavy blow,which had
been received before death. Owing to
mutilation and the advanced stage of
decomposition identification would
have been out of the question. It was
a question with the jurors whether the |
iiead does not belong to the decapitat
ed body of a man found at George
town some weeks ago.
The jury returned the following ver
! diet: "That it appears from the ap
pearance of the head as well as from |
the evidence adduced that the said un
known person, a man. with jet black
hair, of foreign birth, came to his
death prior to this date, at the hands
iof a person or persons unknown, the
i head being severed from the body on a
line between the ears and the chin and |
put into the north branch ot the Sus- }
quehanua river at a point above Dan- j
ville. Pennsylvania, and found op- j
; posite Logau run in Rush township.

Frost and Ice Sunday Morning.
The weath«r of the last rouple of j
days lias produced another surprise.
With deep snows in the northeast and
ill the west, mercury in Danville Sun
day moruing went down to thirty
two degrees. There was a hoary frost,
while ou still water ice could be found
one-eiligth of uu inch thick.
Early plants and flowers,where they
were left exposed suffered much in
jury,bur beyond theso it is not thought
thai much damage was done io vegeta
tion.
It is worthy of note that one year !
ago Sunday there was a Ik avv frost, i
although morcury did not go down to i
the present mark within ten degrees \
and the general conditions were not
the same It is a fact probably that '
one spring differs but littla from an
other in point of temperature and
changeable weather, although we an i
likely to forget what kind of weather !
we had the year before at the com-a- j
ponding date and fall into the delu- '
sion that the weather each season is I
more freakish and phenomenal. The i
peculiarity of the season thus far j
seems to lie in the fact that while the '
las* half of March was warm and un
seasonable, April aud also May thus
far has beeu almost uniformly cold.
But there have no doubt been other j

ANCIENT DEED
DISCOVERED
A discovery has just been made by
the trustees of the Grove Presbyterian ! i
church, which removes the last doubt | i
as to whether or not the old cemetery j i
on Bloom street can be legally trans
ferred to the borough to be used as a I
park. i
During the years that the abolish- I
meut of the oemetery was agitated no I
one seemed to know under what exact <
i conditions the land came iuto posses- <
siou of the church. A few were very ]
j emphatic in their view that the laud J t
was donated to the church for a grave- j 1
j yard. This being so,the view was held \ '
I that it could not be used for any oth- ! i
I er purpose than that specifically des- I t
iguated. This uncertainty for many • I
years acted as a deterrent; those who J (
desired to see the old cemetery ab- ! ]
olished saw ahead of them all sorts of j .
complications and were loath to pro- ; <
ceßd. The present agitation, however, j :
is characterized by much zeal and a ' ■
i strong determination to overcome all ■
j obstacles. (
Iu order to see if it were possible to j i
loarn anything about the title to the I
laud occupied by the cemetery some j ■
one took a journey to Sunbury aud (
there found the very thing that has | <
been the object of so much conjecture i
during the years past—a deed for the 1
laud, which was dated 1775. The tract I
contained a trifle over three acres,aud ; i
was deeded to Hugh McWilliams, Rob 1
crt Curry and others forming the Is
board of trustees for the consideration t
of five pounds. i i
The old deed, which conveyed the : i
land to the old-time trustees iu trust i !
for the use of the congregation, their i
heirs aud assigns fore per, removes a
big bugbear aud the whole procedure ! i
from now on obviously is not only j i
feasible but easy. The church is ready ]
to hand over the cemetery, the bot- I
ougli is willing to receive it, while
citizens of all classes applaud the mea j
sure and are subscribing money to as- j '
sist the borough to bear the expense j |
entailed

carrying a revolver that will not 1

every chamber missed fire. This was ,
the first time the chief ever tried to j

Mine Engineer Killed.
Halter Rinehart, the 23-year-old son
|of Supt. Wm. Rinehart,of the Susque
hanna Coal company, was instantly
killed Tuesday morning nearMt. Car
mel.
He was a member of tiie corps of
1 mining etigiueers ! tj the company's
I employ and was riding ouVan accom
i modatiou train between the mine and
: the breaker of the Richards colliery
when the accident happened.
Back of the passenger coach was an
ojien car loaded with small trucks aud ;
wheels for use iu the mine. Rinehart
saw that one truck was about to fall
from the pile and went back to the car
to inspect the load.
The truck fell and before lie could
get out of the road rolled on his head,
S crushing it so badly that he died in
fifteen miuutes. The other members of
the party, who were also ou the car,
saved themselves by jumping from the i
moving train. It is believed that Riue- j
hart lost his head and was unable to
move, because he stood in his tracks
as the load of iron fell on him, aud
made no attempt to avoid it, although !
he had time to leap as the others did. |

MUST DISPENSE
WITH BAND
The members of Goodrich Posr. No.
22, G. A. It., are perfecting finitl ar
rangements for Memorial dav, v.hioh
is only a matter of two weeks distant.
The post's limited funds,aiung with
the fifty dollars contributed by the
county commissioners. do not justify
the veterans in entering upon very ex
tensive pruparations for Memorial
day. Owiug to limited funds they have
discovered that tliey will have to dis
pense with the services of a baud. Oue,
or probably both of the drum corps,
will furnish music for the parade.
An effort will be made to have a de
mostratiou as nearly like that of form
er years as possible. Besides the mem
bers of the Gr. A. R., the Sonß of Vet
orans, the P. O. S. of A. and a num
ber of school children will be in line.
All will march from the post room
down to the corner of Mill and Lower
Mulberry streets, where the veterans
will embark in two trolley cars that
will be in waiting and the remainder
of the processiou will proceed to the
cemetery on foot.
At the cemetery the usual program
will be carried out. Rev. Joseph E.
(Juy,pastor of Shiloh Reformd church,
will deliver the address to the veter
ans.
The veterans feel convinced that
there will be a great scarcity of flow
ers this year. There are in all some
four hundred graves to decorate and
sooner thau have any of these neglect- j
ed the members have decided to devote
the bulk of the money belonging to
the post to the purchase of flowers.
Some flowers have already been engag- j
ed at the greenhouses. A large quant- j
ity, however, will bo needed and to j
make up the deficiency the veterans as
usual will look to the generous and
patriotic public for flowers.

Improvements at Undergrade.
The borough is installing a very fine ;
improvement at the undergrade cross
ing of the P. & R. railway at A street
in the form of a substantial crossing j
and sidewalk of vitrified brick
Since the crossing ou the P. & R. j
railway at Cross street has beea vacat
ed pedestrians have been obliged to
use the undergrade crossing almost ex
clusively. During winter and spring
the mud lies deep, not only under the '
railroad, but also on Walnut street ou
one side and Nicholas Avenue on tiie ;
other, so that people traveling south
ward on foot from the section of town
lying north of the railroad liave many i
unpleasant experiences. A delegation
of citizens waited upon council during
the winter protesting against the state
of affairs Relief was promised in the
form of a crossing that was to bridge
both Nicholas avenue and Walnut
street ad well as to afford a dry walk
under the crossing.
It is in fulfillment of this promise
that ccuncil has entered upon the im
provement. The crossing in its entire
ty will be about two hundred feet
long. It is four feet wide and i 3 laid
on a three-inch course of concrete.

ity are highly elated over the passage
of 3he State pension bill by the Penu- j
sylvania house of representatives Mon
day eveniug.as they alone will receive
an income amounting to almost $1,500
a month.
It is estimated that there are now .
about 175 Civil War veterans- in Mon- i
tour couuty who are eligible to receive
a pension under the bill. Many of
these are not members of the local
Grand Army post, but nevertheless en
listed in the union army during the
Civil war,and served from oue to four
years.

There is only oa<.' way to cure deaf

inflamed condition of the mucous lin

this tube is inflamed yon have a rum

when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and uuless the inflamma
