WORKMAN'S
PAINFUL INJURY
Edward Buck, an eighteen-year-old
boy, met with a most painful aud ser
ious iujury while employed at the
Reading irou works yesterday morn
ing.
Edward was running a buggy in the
bar mill. He was filling the place
temporarily in the absence of the reg
ular niau. He was getting along very
well with the work until toward
morning. The buggy had just been
brought up to the x'olls, the portion
which receives the iron standing next,
as is the natural position when work
is iu progress. The young man run
ning the busggy had hold of the handle.
While iu this position owing to an
accident or to some mistake in hand
ling the butrgy a heavy mass of iron
fell upon it iu such a way as to throw
the handle upward, with terrific force.
As stated above Edward had hold of
the buggy and as the handle flew up
ward it struck him on the ciiin, the
force of the blow iuiflcting painful in
jury aud lifting him uearly two feet
off the ground.
The man fell to the ground bleeding
profusely at the mouth and almost in
seusible from the shock. He was as
sisted to the house of a relative near
the mill where Dr. Hiushellwood was
called.
Immediately below the lower lip,
where the 111:111 was struck by the
handle of the buggy, the flesh was ;
punctured, an aperture appearing that I
revealed the jaw boue. Two of the j
upper teeth were knocked out and the
third driven up into the jaw, where
at least a fragment of it is imbedded !
in the boue. 011 the whole a more pain- ]
ful and distressing injury could be ]
hardly conceived of. Dr. Hinshell- j
wood last eveuing stated that there is '
no danger of complications and that j
the young man will recover from all !
ill-effect.? indue time.
Went to Jail.
Some weeks ago Northumberland j
county was startled by the news that j
Nick Uedro. of Marion Heights, with j
five bullets iu his body, was dying at
the Ashland hospital, the victim of |
Andrea Yunado.au agent of the Black J
Hand, au account of which apppeared |
in the News at that time.
It seems that Gedro was averse to ;
passing jway while his assailant was |
still on green earth, and liable to no j
greater punishment than that imposed \
by the average lenient Northuuiber- |
land county jury. And so Gedro re- I
cuperated as quickly as nature would
permit, inteuding to buckle on his
stiletto and revolver and goon Yun
ado's trail as soon as he left the 'hos
pital. But the hand of the'law stayed
his intent.ious of blood thirsty re
venue. As he stepped from the hospit
al Saturday morning he was arrested
by Sergeant Van Yoris, of the State
constabulary, located at Sliamokin,
and Deputy Sheriff Condy Langdon.of
Centralia, on the charge of stabbing ,
William Murtou, of Centralia, 011
March 7th, and an aggravated assault
on Chas. Fetterman, of Centralia.
which took place on the 4th of August. '
After stabbing Murton, Gedro left j
Centralia and nothing was heard of
him until the accounts of the shooting
affray were seeu in the papers. Gedro
now lies in the Columbia county pri
son at Bloomsburg.
Odd Coincidence.
By a peculiar coincidence a jury at
Scrantou 011 Monday awarded Mrs.
Jessie Drown, of 11 tat place, the same j
amouut of damages against the Scran- j
ton Railway company as was awarded j
Mi.-s Emma Goodhart by a Columbia
ouuty jury last week against the Col
umbia and Montour Co. The damages
were for the same kind of an injury,
the left knee, and it happened in the j
same way.
Miss Goodhart sued and asked for
$5,000 damages. She was given $950. j
The accident occurred on October 9th, j
1900. She had her left knee wrenched j
by the alleged suddeu starting of oue i
of the Columbia aud Montour Co's. j
cars.
The Scrantou woman ou the evening .
of October 9th, 1905, just the same date, j
was thrown by the suddeu starting of (
a car on the Scrantou road, before she \
was able to sit down. Her left knee 1
was also wrenched. She asked for ,
SIO,OOO, and was awarded $950. It is j
doubtful if either jury ever heard of j
the other case, and the coincidence is
so unusual that it was remarked about
by a number of lawyers who read of
both cases.
Both defendants lave asked for a
new trial, and both have filed practic
ally the same reasons. Both cases were
on trial for two days,went to the jury
late in tl. afternoon and the juries
brought in sealed verdicts early in the
evening.

BOLD BUEGLARY
IN DAYLIGHT
A daylight burglary caused cousid
j erable excitement iu the tliird ward
, about 4 o'clock Monday afternoou.
j M. .T. Reilly liad locked liis barber
' .shop on Mill street and goue liome for
j supper. While lie was partaking of his
I meal his wife, from oue of the wind
! ows, which commands a view of her
I husband's place of business,saw a man
i enter the front door. She called the at
; tent ion of her husband to the fact, but
lie could not believe it possible, [as he
was confident that he had locked the
door However, he started out to in
vestigate.
Arriving at the barber shop he found
that the door was broken open, al
though there was no oue iu the shop.
The portion of the lock that receives
the bolt was shattered to pieces, in
dicating that entrance had been effect
ed by a strong man hurling his weight
against the door compelling something
to give way.
Mr. lieilly begau to examine his
stock of razors and found that five
were missing By this time it had be
come noised about that a burglary had
been committed and quite a crowd had
assembled, among which were several i
who recalled that a stranger apparent- ;
ly very drunk had been seeu near the ;
barber shop a short time before the !
burglary occurred. A description of !
the man was quickly imparted to the j
crowd and several men started out in ]
search of the burglar.
Iu less than a quarter of an hour af- !
ter the shop was robbed an elderly man
with grey hair aud mustache and neat- j
ly dressed in a blue cloth suit, a little j
the worse for wear,appeared on North- ;
uuiberlaud street. He was begging for
money at one of the houses when Mr.
Reilly and several others appeared on
the scene.
They immediately accused the man i
of having broken into the barber shop |
and obliged him to submit to a search, j
when five razors were found on his j
person, which Mr. Reilly identified as
his property. The man was then form
ally taken in charge by Daniel Hickey .
and John McOloud aud led back to
Justice Dalton's office. By this time
Chief Miucemoyer appeared and took j
the man in charge.

Revisiting Old Home.
11. P. Welliver, a Cahforniau. who
is sojourning at Jerseytowu, strolled
into Danville yesterday to look over I
the towu aud observe the changes that
have occurred since he knew the place
back in the 80's.
Mr. Welliver is the son of Silas Wei j
liver of Jerseytowu, who survives atl
the ripe old age of 85 years. Nearly i
twenty years ago the sou went west, j
becoming eventually a resident of San I
Francisco. A few days before the J
great earthquake he started east to re
visit his early home and speud some
time with his father in his declining
years.
Mr. Welliver recalls Danville as he
knew it when the ore mines were be
ing worked and there were several J
hundred more men employed in con-j
nectiou with the big mill than are
now ou the pay roll of the Reading j
iron company. Mauy changes are no- j
ticeable, included in which are some j
improvements.
Deafness Cannot be Cured.
by local applications as they cannot j
reach the diseased portion of the ear. 5
There is only one way to cure deaf- ]
ness, and that is bv constitutional i
remedies. Deafness is causeil by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When ;
this tube is inflamed you have a rum- j
bling sound or imperfect hearing, audi
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is I
the result, aud unless the inflamma
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear I
ing will be destroyed forever: nine;
cases out of ten are caused by Oatairh,
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.

Will Not Sell nileage Books.
Tihe Harrisburg Patriot says: The
sale of mileage books iu the Central
and Trunk Line Passenger association
territories will iu all probability be
discontinued after January, 1908, ac
cording to statements made Thursday
by high passenger officials. The two
cent passengor fare law, which is ef
fective in mauy of the states, and
which will become effective in Penu- j
sylvania next fall, is responsible for j
this move. The advisability of discon- j
tinuing the sale of these books will j
be discussed at a joint, meeting of j
members of the associations. Passon- |
ger officials of a majority of the larger
railroads are said to be in favor of j
this move. It is generally bolieved
that within the next few months the
sale of these books will be greatly re- !
duced. Some railroad officers, how
ever, are inclined to allow the books ;
to remain on sale so long as there is J
any demand for them. Reports of the J
sale of mileage books in Pennsylvania
for the first four months of this year
show that more books were sold in
that period than'iu a year past. This j
is thought to have been oue to the I
fact that the excess payment of $lO on |
1,000-mile books has practically been I
done away with and the rebate on the j
interchangeable mileage books was j
reduced $5.

COAL DREDGE
IKS IN RIVER
Hopewell's monster coal dredge. the |
"Great Eastern,'' wliicli left Danville
last week for its home port, North urn- ,
| berland, never reached its destination.
jAt souj" distance above the town it
struck a snug and went to the bottom
of the river where it remains at pres
ent.
The Great Kasteru was famous ns
the largest coal ilradge on the Susque
hanna. The big dredge was not con
sidered as paying expenses unless it
extracted as a minimum quantity '
twenty-eight tons of coal from the riv- .
jer bottom daily. It was heavily
weighted with engine, boiler anil other j
1 machinery and it drew nearly two feet
of water.
On returning to Northumberland
j Friday, when in about seven feet of
, water the dredge struck a stump which
had sunk in the river. The men were
; thrown from their feet by the impact
as the collision occurred. At the same
moment it was discovered that a la.rge
hole had been broken in the bottom
of the boat and that the water was
pouring in. In two minutes' time the
dredge sank, the crew having barely
time to escape to the flat boat, which
was being towed in the rear.
Disturbed the OongregatioD.
The person who disturbed the con- j
gregation last Sunday by continually
coughing is requested to buy a bottle

Goes to Annapolis.
Word was received in this city last
oveniug that George F. Jacobs, sou of i
Mr. and Mrs. W. Fred Jacobs,has sue- j
cessfully passed the examination to
the United States naval academy at j
Annapolis and that he would receive
the appointment from this district.
The letter came from ex-Congress- I
man Samuel, who appointed Mr. Ja
cobs as second alternate. The word
was sent at the instance of the secre
tary of the navy. Charles A. Kellar, ;
of Suubury, was appointed principal i
and Clyde F. Hicks, of Berwick, first '
alternate. Both the principal and the \
first alternate failed to pass the ex- |
amination, which was taken by all j
recently at Wililamsport.
George F. Jacobs, as first alternate, J
also recently took the examination for !
West Point which he passed, but did |
not receive the appointment as the j
principal also passed.
The young man who will represent ]
this district at the naval academy is
one of the brigliest and most likeable
of Danville's younger generation. He
graduated from the Danville high
school in the class of 1906, and during
the past winter has been attending
Susquehanna university at Selins
grove. He is the second of the sons of ,
Mr. aiyl Mrs. Fred Jacobs to enter the
navy, Raudall Jacobs now being a
midshipman on board the U. S. Bat

held a busy session last night. The ;
near approach of Memorial day en
tailed upon them considerable extra
woik, in addition to which they took
up the bill appropriating a pension to
all Pennsylvania soldiers. In relation
to the latter they passed the following
resolution :
Whereas, At the last session of the
legislature a bill was passed making
an appropriation to pension all hon
orably discharged Peuua. soldiers, and
Whereas, A uurnber of so-called Re- j
publican newspapers of Peuua., are
characterizing it as an iniquitous mea
sure and calling upon his Excellency,
the Governor of this Commonwealth,
to veto it, therefore,
Resolved, That we, the members of
Goodrich Post No. 22. Dep't of Penn,.
hereby very earnestly ask our worthy
Governor to stand by the veteran sol
diers now, as he has in the past A
few more years and they will be re
membered only in history. The great
State of Pennsylvania can well afford
them this small pension in their de
clining years. Schools appropriations.
Good Roads appropriations, as well as
others, it need be, could well afford
to suffer a little rather than the men
who during the dark days of Rebellion
sacrificed home, education,h?altli, and
all that was dear to them in order to
maintain the supremacy of our Gov
ernment and save our beloved State.

DANVILLB IN
WAR TIMES:
W. H. Treas, South Danville, lias in j
his possession a copy of the Montour
American of Wednesday, July, 1, 1863,
which is of an issue that covers a date
relating to oue of the most exciting
times in Danville's history. It was the
eve of the great battle of Gettysburg ;
the Confederates had invaded Pennsyl
vania and ou the Sunday preceding
had marched to within a few miles of
Harrisburg. Danville, liko all other
towus was busy raisiug volunteers for
the defense of Pennsylvania, for un
less the Rebels were successfully re
pulsed Che entire State would bo over
run in a few dnys. The excitement of i
the town was reflected in the extraots \
taken from the old pa]>er printed be
low :
The stores and business places of ,
Dauville are closed aud a general ef- I
fort is made to raise volunteers for the
defense of the State. Several com
panies are partly filled, among them
being tiie Silver Greys, composed of j
citizens over 45 years of age.
During 11le crisis aud emergency
while troops were being raised in res- j
ponse to a call from the governor, fifty j
four merchants aud manufacturers of
Dauville signed an argeemeut to sus
pend business. In the long list of ;
names appended are a few well remem

That the military spirit was by no j
means dead is shown from the follow
ing paragraph quoted:
The volunteers company under com
mand of Captain .lames F. Ramsey
was mustered into service of the Unit
ed States at Harrisburg on the 16th day
of June for the term of six months.
The material of tne company is of the
very best—all the officers aud many of
the rauk and file have been in service ;
and acquitted themselves with honor.
Among the rauk and file of the six
months men are noticed such well
known meu as Bonham R. Gearhart,
Arthur Alward, William Trease, Park
Alexander, David Aten, James Best,
Charles Funston, Wesley Deshay, |
Philip Bright, and Henry Harder.
When the news reached Dauville !
that the rebels were coming the town
got a heavy hustle ou. The old news
paper says:
There was great f;xcitenieut here on ]
Sunday last. The telegraph brought
the news that the rebelß were ap
proaching Harrisburg aud soon the i
whole town was astir. Bells were
rung aud drums were beat, until the I
people gathered at the courthouse
where a meeting was orgaui/.ed with
Mr. Joel Hinckley in the chair. The j
object was to raise volunteers and for
this purpose several committees were
appointed—one to confer with She com
missioners.aud another to confer with
the iron manufacturers iu relation to
suspending operations to facilitate vol
unteering.
Other items in the old paper printed
nearly 44 years ago will be read with
interest at the preseut day. One reads
as follows:
The enrollment is progressing in this
district generally pretty quiet but we
learn that N. Ferree Lightner was
shot at several times while in tha dis
charge of his official duties.
Robert Magill also had a close call, ;
which after 44 years he may have
difficulty in recalling:
Robert Magill who wasserionsly in
jured by being cut with a sharp glass
we learn with pleasure is improving.
The excitement attendant upon the !
receipt of the following news can |
easily be imagined :
News has arrived that R. M Cath- i
cart, Samuel Pardoe, D. C. Hartman
aud Mr. Sheldon, late clerk iu the
Rough and Ready store,were all taken
prisoners by the rebels in the Cumber
land Valley.
This is the way the old time editor
paid his respects to oue of his local
contemporaries:
See there! —Just as we expected!—
That odorous socr crout vessel, label
ed has exploded. We expected as
much when we thrust that sharp stick
iu the rotten mess.

Montour American in 1863.
