DEATH OF
JEFIIDTY
James Francis Dougherty, the well
known third ward hotel man,died last
evening after a six weeks' illness, of
a complication of diseases.
Mr. Dougherty had been in a critical
condition for several weeks, but at
each crisis his remarkable constitu
tion pulled him through. He was tak
en ill on May 3rd. with pleurisy. Lat -
er this became complicated with bron
chitis and pneumonia. The deceased
was conscious up to the last and pass
ed away at G:os last evening.
James F. Dougherty was one of the
best known men in Danville. He was
a staunch Democrat and prominent iu
his party. For twelve years he repre
sented the third ward in council. He
was born in Dauville, on East Market
street, in 1853, the sou of Mr. and Mrs.
Patrick C. Dougherty, and spent all
his life in this city. For 28 years he
had been in the hotel business, the past
12 years at the stand on Northumber
land street, where his death occurred.
The deceased was prominent in the
Knights of Macabees, and a member
of the order at Mt. Morris, New York.
He was the organizer of Dougherty
tent, Knights of Macabees,of this city,
the tent being named in his honor. He
was also a member of the local aerie
of the Fraternal Order of Eagles.
Mr. Dougherty was a widower, his
wife having proceeded him to the
) grave several years ago. He is surviv
ed by one son, William C. Dougherty,
i Three brothers also survive : W. C.,
of Wilkes-Barre: J. H., of Chicago
and H. P. Dougherty, who has been
residing with the deceased for the
past eighteeu months.
The funeral arrangements have not
as yet been completed.
Curbing Is Nearly Completed.
The first stage in the paving opera
tions on Nroth Mill street—the curb
ing—will be finished by the middle of
: next week.
! The work has been proceeding most
satisfactorily, and T. L. Evans' Sons,
the contractors, have now reached the
Farmers' hotel with the curb. The
i curbing will extend only to the north
| era end of the grist mill. Remarkably
large stones are being osed for the
curbing. None of the pieces are less
I than 8 feet, and a number of the big
slabs are 16 feet and 6 inches long As
they have been proceeding the con
tractors have been laying only the
; straight curb, so that the intersections
all remain to be installed,
j D. ,T. Rogers, with a force of men
! is at work on the macadamizatiou at
j the northern portion of the pave. Yes
terday he had a traction engine and
! several teams on the job and was mak
; ing good progress. He is at present
cutting down the grade at the top of
; the grist mill hill.
At the Approach of the Fourth.
With but two weeks intervening be
tween this and the Fourth of July,the
; time has about arrived for the annual
admonition against the sale or use of
the noisy articles of celebration before
j the appointed day.
Each year the small boy, and sorne
' times his elder brother, is anxious to
! begin the observance of the nation's
birthday several days early and to con
tinue the same several days after the
Fourth has passed.
There is always more or less danger
to life, limb and property in the fiery
enthusiasm of the Fourth, so the bor
ough fathers have seen fit to enact a
law that fireworks and fire crackers
may not be sold until the day preced
ing July 4th., and that they may not
be exploded until the great day itself
arrives.
Burgess Rogers,therefore, announces
that the ordinance will this year, as
in the past, be strictly enforced.

A Crusade on Kerchew.
That detestable preparation, Ker
-1 chew, has been put under the ban by
the authorities of this town, and from
now on any person using the concoc
tion,or even selling it, will do so at
the risk of "settling up."
Yesterday Burgess Rogers issued
orders that any one detected sellitiß or
distributing Kerchew should be arrest,
ed, and Chief-of-Police Mincemoyer
stated that he would carry out the
order to the letter.
The use of the stuff, which at first
was taken as a sort of a poor joke, has
come, with the increasing prevalence
of its use, to be an abomination. One
is not safe from it anywere. In the
stores, barber shops, restaurants—in
fact anywhere that the fool killer can
get —there you will find it. Monday
evening the practice reached the clim
ax when an audience in one of the
moving picture shows was compelled
to leave in the midst of a performance
on account of the stuff.
Heard of Deaths as Train Sped
The passengers on the Pennsylvania
train that leaves South Danville at
7:11 a. m. witnessed a pathetic sight
yesterday morning when two women
on board heard reail to them a dis
patch from a Philadelphia paper tell
ing of the deaths of both of their hus
bands iu a lailroad wreck.
The bereaved wives were members
of a party of Oarboudale people who
had been visiting friends in Pitts
burgh. A telegram had summoned
them home, but they were traveling
totally unaware of the awful news that
awaited them at the end of their jour
ney.
The bereaved ladies are Mrs. Charles
Craig and Mrs. John Kegler. both of
Carbondale, and their husbands were
both killed in a wreck on the D. A: H.
at Bainbridge, New York. Mr. Craig
was engineer and Mr. Kegler was fire
man on the train that was wrecked.
President's Annual Trip.
President W. H. Truesdale, of the
D. L. &W. railroad, is making his
annual tour of inspection of the road,
and yesterday was in Danville.
President Truesdale traveled in his
private car on a special train of two
coaches and a locomotive. Iu the
party, beside Mr. Truesdale were E.
M. Rine, division superintendent; W.
B. Hixson, superintendent of bridges
and buildings and M. L. Bush, chief
engineer.
The train stopped at Danville for
about fifteen minutes yesterday morn
ing, while the officials inspected the
company's property here. They ex
pressed themselves as well pleased
witli both the business and equipment
in Danville. The officials made no
expression as to any improvements and
alterations contemplated at this place.
Severe Storm at Bloomsburg.
The storm that threatened Danville
early last evening struck several of the
towns up the river with full force.
Rhiomsburg, however, seemed to re
ceive the brunt.
At that place the lightning struck
four buildings, the carpet mill, the
woolen mill.the home of Charles Mills
and the plant of the Iroudale Electrial
company. Not much damage was done
to the first three places, but the elec
tric light company was put out of
business for a time.
Harry Wenck returned yesterday
morning frcm a trip to Philadelphia.
APPEAL TAKEN IN
DIEM CASE
Au appeal lias been taken to the sup
reme court at i'hiladelpliia in the case
of Commonwealth vs. Peter Dietrich.
A writ of certiorari was received at
the prothonotary's office Tuesday and
is made returnable on the first Mon
day of March, li) 08. At this time the
paper books will be presented by the
prosecution and the defense and argu
ments will be made by counsel for
both sides. Later the supreme court
will decide whether or not a new trial
will be granted. Meanwhile Peter
Dietrich will remain at the Eastern
penitentiary unless a motion for bail
is made and granted.
Refrigerator Thieves Busy.
Stealthy thicver.of the genus refrig
erator or back porch variety,have been
getting busy with a vengeance lately.
Within a few days no less thau four
homes in the first ward have been vis
ited by the midnight marauders.
Monday night the thieves paid a
visit to the home of ex-Sherift' George
Maiers. Ferry stteet. The first intima
tion Mr. Maiers had of the theft was
yesterday morning, when preparations
were being made for breakfast. It was
found that the refrigerator had been
thoroughly cleaned out.
It was on Saturday night, however,
that the prime raids were made, when
the homes of Reese Edmondson, cor
ner of Front and Pine streets and the
residences of Dr. Patten and W. C.
Boyer, East Market street, were rob
bed of the large stock of edibles that
had been procured for over Sunday.
At all of the places the refrigerators
were ou the rear porch.and the thieves
(seemed to have but little trouble in
accomplishing their purpose.
One of the gentlemen whose refrig
erators suffered yesterday stated that
he had a pretty straight tip as to who
the guiltv ones are. He believes that
it is the same man or party of men
who have operated in each case. He
said that lie was morally sure that he
could lay his hands on the men, and
all that he lacKed was Hie positive
proof.
Care of the Children.
Words of President Roosevelt in one
of his recent speeches at Jamestown
deserve to be heeded everywhere.
"As regards children," he said, "it
is essential to look after their physical
as well as their mental training. We
cannot afford to let children grow up
ignorant: and if they are sent to
school they cannot, while young, also
work hard outside without detriment
physical, mental and moral. There is
urgent need for tlie health authorities
to increase their care over the hy
gienic conditions and surroundings of
children of tender years and especially
to supervise those in the schools.
"It is a good thing to try to reform
bad children, to try to build up de
generate children : but it is au even
better thing to try to keep healthy in
soul, body and mind those children
who are now sound, but who may
easily grow up unsound if no care is
taken of them.
"The nation's most valuable asset is
the children : for the children are the
nation of the future. All people alive
to the nation's need should join to
gether to work for the moral, spiritu
al and physical welfare of the chil
dren in all parts of our land. I am
glad that there has been founded a
national society of public school
hygiene, and I wish it and all its
branches well in every way."
Death of a Well Known Lady.
Mrs. Henry Deightmiller, of West
Hemlock township, died Tuesday
morning at 1 o'clock after a short ill
ness.
The deceased was a widely known
woman of kindly disposition. She had
many friends wlio will sincerely
mourn her death. She had been ill
only since last Friday. She was aged
about 63 years and is survived by her
husband and the following children;
Mrs. Hannah Mitchell, of Philadel
phia; William,of Pittsburgh, Charles,
of West Heuilock ; Mrs. Ada Fry, of
Valley, Mrs. Lloyd Dildine, of Wash
ingtonville ; Mrs. Sallie Styer, of Ber
wick ; Maggie, Nellie and Ella, who
reside at home and John.
The funeral will take place Thurs
day morning at 9 o'clock from the
home. Interment will be made at
New Columbia, where the deceased

hire Axes for Danville Laddies.
The four firemen's axes,the purchase
of which was recently authorized by
council, arrived in town yesterday,
and are beauties.
The axes were procured through the
Welliver Hardware company, from
Lippencott & company,of Pittsburgh.
The axe and handle are painted a
bright red and present a fine appear
ance. After the axes are inspected by
the fire committee of council next Fri.
day night they will be distributed,
one to each company.
Fll AFFECTS
DIETRICH'S CASE
I An interesting and rather startling
j discovery has been made that will like
ly have bearing of some consequence
j on the case of Peter Dietrich, who was
I charged with the killing of "Corky"
.Tones, and who has undergone trial
| for the third time in the courts of
Montour county.
Recently Dietrich gave to Adam W.
Mayan, of this city, the power of at
torney, to take charge of his property.
On Friday, Mr. Mayan, with Theodore
Doster and Fred Mayan, were at Die
: trich's hotel appraising the goods.
In the bar room, ou a shelf behind
the bar, they found a revolver. The
weapon was iu a cigar box and had
four chambers loaded and in one an
empty shell. It was not a self-cocking
revolver.
At the trial two revolvers figured in
the testimony. One for which, it was
contended by the Commonwealth, Die
trich had gone into "the other room"
a short time before the shooting: and
another which was in the bar room all
during the evening and which upon
examination later was pronounced un
loaded.
It is HOW claimed that the revolver
found Friday is the weapon with
which Dietrich did the shooting, and
inasmuch as it had but one chamber
empty the find may have a bearing on
two very important contentions of the
Commonwealth in the several trials.
If, as will likely be contended, Die
trich did the shooting with the weapon
found on Friday, then Jones was not
killed with a revolver for which it
was necessary togo into "the other
room." Also, if the shooting was
done with the recently discovered
weapon,then there were not two shots
fired, but only one,as the revolver had
but one empty chamber. Both of these
conclusions, if true, would lessen the
possibility of premeditation.

KICKED 0! HORSE
TEIBLI WOOED
Earnest Gademau. of Rustown, was j
kicked by a vicious horse Monday at j
noon. He suffered injuries of a terri- j
ble nature, and now lies at his home I
hovering between life and death.
Mr. Gademau is a man of about 33 I
years and somewhat of an invalid. He j
owns a vicious horse, which he uses j
on but very few occasions. Yesterday '
there was work to be done in the fields j
and a temproary lack of horses made \
it necessary to use the vicious animal, j
Mr. Gademau managed the beast j
successfully during the morning, and
was bringing his team iuto the stable
for dinner. As he was putting the
horse in the stable the auimal wheel- j
ed and with terrific force kicked Mr.
Gademau just over the hip and below
the ribs, the toe of the horse's hoof
taking effect.
Mr. Gademau fell to the ground,
and, in the most excruciating pain, |
was unable to rise. His plight was
soon discovered and he was carried in
to the house. Dr. N. M. Smith, of
South Dauville, was summoned, and !
in little less than an hour the physi
cian was at the injured man's side.
Dr. Smith found the injuries to be ,
of an extremely critical nature. There
were internal hemorrhages that in- j
1 dicates lacerations of the kidneys, be- !
side the probability of other internal I
njuries.
Thirteen Innings—Danville Lost.
j After thirteen hard fought innings
at DeWitt's park Saturday afternoon
Springfield scored the winning run in
tlie second game of the season.
It was a hard loss for the locals,and j
l throughout the thirteeu innings they
played with a vim and determination
that deserved a better result. But it
was a good game, full of clean fast
ball, so nobody kicked even if Dau
ville didn't win.
Springfield played an errorless game
and this coupled with the twirling of
Covaleskie, who had seventeen strike
outs and allowed Dauville only four
hits, were the winning attributes that
the visitors had up their sleeves. The

BUGGIES COLLI
WHEN no FUSSES
North Mill street WHS thrown iuto a
state of intense excitement Sunday even
ing about 7 o'clock when an automo
bile, coming ilown tlie street, terrified
a horse attached to a buggy, and caus
ed a mix-up that for a while threat
ened the most disastrous results.
The car was on its way to Northum
berland and taking the pave at a speed
well within the borough limit. When
the car arrived opposite Cole's hard
ware store a buggy driven bv John
Heller and containing beside himself,
Miss Lulp_yeager, both of Maus'.ale,
arrived at the First National fawns cor
ner.
At sight of the auto Mr. Heller's
horse became terrified and plunging
to one side.collided with the buggy of
Frank Hover, Jr.,which was standing
in front erf Paules' drug store.
In Mr. Boyer's buggy was his sou.
Irvin, a lad of (i. The impact was of
such forca that the boy was thrown
over the dash board, and falling upon
the horse and thence to the paved
street, lie suffered severe injuries that
for a while were thought to be of a
critical nature. After he had recover
ed somewhat from the shock it was
found that the extent of his casau'ties
were a badly wrenched back and a
scraped arm.
In the other buggy Miss Yeager suf
fered the only harm. The top of the
Boyer buggy struck her in the face,
causing a laceration of the lip and a
slight dislocation of the nose.
The car was numbered 8311, and from
the "List of lioenses, issued to operat
ors of motor vehicles by the State
j highway department," it was ascer
tained that the owner is Charles K.
Eagle, of Sliamokin.
When the accident occurred the car
was stopped and the occupants went
to the aid of the injured persons. The
! operator was uot held as he was run
ning his machine entirely within the
limits of the law.
