RUNAWAY GIRLS
WERE CAPTURED
Two girls from this city followed
the Eclipse Carnival comnauy to Ber
wick on Saturday and Sunday when
the father aud uucle of the runaways ■
followed to Berwick and attempted to j
take the girls iu charge, they were
given a lively chase through the
streets of that town before a capture
was effected.
The girls, daughters of Jacob Ash
ton, aged 16 and 18 years, left Dan
ville Saturday night,after having told
some of their friends that they intend
ed to join the carnival company. The
parents of the girls thought different
ly of the matter, however,aud follow

Sunday uight about 7 :30 o'clock Mr.
Ashtou and his brother were inquiring
about the Hotel Morton as to whether
anything had beeu seen of the girls
when the father happened to spy tliom
on Market square.
The girls saw Mr. Ashtou about the
same time, and rau out Market street

and his brother following. The one
girl was caught only after a chase of
several blocks.
The girls were taken to the hotel

How to Manicure TreeF.
A new method of overhauling and J
treating shade trees has been tried in j
nearby towns with much success. j
T he method is first to trim the tree |
taking care to remove all dead wood 1
and leave the top open for tiie circula
tion of the air. Then the body of the
tree is scraped so as to remove the
rough, hard, ragged portions of the
bark that harbors insects and various
kinds of scale. Then all decayed spots
are cleaned out. The rotteu portions
dug out aud tiie holes filled up with
cement, much after the way a dentist
treats a cavity in a tooth. This ar
rests the decay aud makes the wound |
certaiu to heal over in a uatural way.
that work has been done
the trunk aud lower limbs of tiie tree
are treated to a coat of linseed oil,
with a quantity of coal oil and other
ingredients mixed into it.. This the
bark absorbs aud holds. The insects
that are usually harbored in the bark
find it die or disappear.
As a result of tnig treatment it is
claimed the trees become healthy and
live longer. After four or five years
tiie treatment has to be repeated if its
good resutls are to be maintained.
WELL LAID SCHEME
TO DEFRAUD
But for an item which appeared in
the Morning News as well as several
other newspapers waruing farmers
against a couple of swiudlers in the
guise of lightning rod agents Jesse
Bogart, of Liberty township, might
have been defrauded out of a snug sum
of money by an alleged lightning rod
concern. As it is the would be swiud
lers, notwithstanding their well-de
vised scheme,are wholly the losers and
at last accounts had practically aband
oned the fight, while the farmer was
in the possession of a brau new lightn
ing rod for his barn and was in posi
tion to dictate his own terms in settle
ment.
A couple of weeks ago the wily
lightuing rod men appeared at the
farm of Jesse Bogart a short distance
below Oak Grove. Their scheme was
as follows: They endeavored to im
press upon the farmer that they had
an especially good tiling in ;lightning
rods, which they desired to introduce
in that locality. They wanted to erect
a lightning rod on his bam as a speci
men of what theycould do. If he would
consent the cost to liim should be only
nominal and the lightuing rod men
would look for their return in the in
creased business that should result
from the lightning rod as au advertise
ment.
They tried to make it clear to the
farmer that he would not be running
the least semblance of risk. He would
not even be asked to sign an agree
ment, although oue was carefully pro
pared, ostensibly intended lor other
farmers to sign, less favored than Mr.
Bogart, who, as above stated, was to
have special terms. The agreement
bound the farmer to pay for the lightn
ing rod at the rate of seventy-five
cents per foot witli the proviso that
eacli ball or similar feature comprising
the fixtures should count ten feet.
This in itself is indefinite and illusory,
but, as the sequel would show, persons
approached are never asked to sign the
agreement.
The only thing that was to bind Mr.
Bogart was a verbal agreement, by
which he was to pay $7.50 for the
j whole job. He was to tell his neigh
! bors that he had paid for the lightning
i rod at the rate of seventy-five cents
i per foot, but it was to be understood
between himself aud the agents that
he was paying for only ten feet of the
lightning rod.
To say that the farmer did not be-
I come a little suspicious at this stage
j of the game would probab'ybe assum
ing too much. At all events, he left
them go ahead aud put up the lightn
\ iug rod but as the sequel showed he
was very careful of the part he played
and saw to it that they got no signa
ture from him.
In a short time the job was complet
ed and then the agent went into ecst
calliug the farmer's attention to this
| or that feature, which stood unexcel
-1 led. It would be a great help to
. them they declared, if Mr. Bogart
would sign a certificate to the effect
that they had satisfactorily put up a
lightning rod on his farm carrying out
all the terms of their agreement.
This, they held, he could not reason
ably decline to do, now that he had a
sample of their work before his eves.
Now, it occurred that the paper on
J which this eretificate was written was
j the one on the opposite side of which
J was the carefully worded agreement
that the farmer was not asked to sign.
; The lightning rod men, of course,
took pains to conceal the fact that if
the farmer gave on the back of the
j agreement a certificate such as they
desired it would give tiie document all
the legal force of au agreement proper
ly signed aud would make Mr. Bogart
liable for the full cost of the lightn
ing rod or in all probability a sum
that really exceeded the cost.
During the days that the lightuing
rod men had Mr. Bogart iu tow he
! read or he remembered of having read
of a scheme practiced elsewhere by
lightning rod agents to defraud farm
ers. The methods emploved in those
instances suggested several features of
the present transaction. Therefore,
when the men asked him to sign the
certificate on the back of the agree
ment he peremxitorily declined.
There were several days before there
were any developments. Then a party
came along and demanded that Mr.
Bogart pay for the lightning rod, not
according to the verbal agreement,
which made him liable for $7.50, but
for the full amouut as implied in the
writteu agreement, .$l4O.
| Of course they didu'tget the mouey.
| The signature which they had expect-
I ed to obtain in order to make the
agreement legally binding was lacking
and they had to resort to bluster and
bluffing. They threatened the farmer
with arrest and imprisonineut aud
pointed to the fact that the lightning
rod was on the barn to prove that they
had him in their power.
Mr. Bogart came to town aud plac
ed the matter in the hands of an at
torney, who sustained him in the
course he had taken aud gave him
some valuable advice as to how to pro
ceed. When the lightniug rod men
appeared again they had abandoned the
idea of putting the farmer in jail or
even of giving him any trouble. They
wanted to compromise aud were will
ing to take #25 for the lightning rod.
The farmer was not anxious to have
anything to do with the men and he
told them to take down the rod. This
they were not willing to do but de
clared they would rather give him the
lightning rod.
Mr. Bogart was in town Saturday
reporting progress to his attorney.
The case stands at present as above de
scribed, which leaves no doubt but that
Mr. Bogart will come out all right
witli in all probability a brand new
lightning rod in the bargain.
IRON DRAIN PIPE
IN POSITION
North Mill street, which was olosed
on Friday, was thrown open to travel
again on Saturday. Some persons are
heard to protest against the closing of
streets while repairs or reconstruction
is under way, but Friday afternoon
affored an instance when it was.really
impracticable to keep the street open
during its whole length.
It occurred while the heavy iron
pipe of 16 and 24 inches respectively
were being sunk at the intersection of
Spruce street. Night came on before
the work was completed but early on
Saturday the pipe along one half of
the width of the street was buried and
the spot was graded over. The street
was in good condition for traffic Sat
urday night and yesterday.
Comparatively tew persons were in
convenienced, as,while reconstruction
is in progress, many persons in enter
ing and leaving town make it a prac
tice of using Montour row and West
Centre street. The road over the cin
der tip connecting Montour row with
the State highway just beyond the
borough line affords a clean and level
drive and the way through Montour
row is much preferable to the more
roundabout and hilly route that leads
over Upper Mulberry street.
Just at present North Mill street can
be driven with comparative comfort.
Excavation is pretty nearly completed
and the bottom of ttie roadway is fair
ly level and solid. A little later,while
the actual laving of brick is in pro
gress it is difficult to understand how
traffic can be admitted to the street.
The sinking of ttie heavy iron pipe
made it necessary to change the loca
tion of the water plug at Mill and
Spruce streets. It was removed about
13 feet further eastward up Spruce
street by Superintendent of Construc
tion P. J. Keefer yesterday afternoon.
The work, along with the insertion of
a new plug at Upper Mulberry and
Centre streets, occupied several hours,
the borough water in the third ward
being shut off during that time.

More Pay for Court Duty.
Jurors serving at next session of
court which convenes in September,
will receive $2.50 per diem for their
services. Witnesses for the Common
wealth at ttie same court will also get
an increased compensation of $1.50 per
diem. The court will be an expensive
one, owing to the increased fees to be
paid. The additional financial obliga
tions placed upon the couuty may
cause the coonty tax rate to be raised
next year. For years it has been
difficult to get persons to serve as jur
ors in trials, both civil and criminal,
because of the inaequate compensation
relative thereto. The same trouble
confronted the prosecuting attorneys
in getting persons to testify for the
Commonwealth. The increased financi

OLD TREES FALLING
UNDER THE AXE
The three fine old trees in front of
J. H. Ooeser's property, Centre street,
which have swayed in the tempest
and cast their refreshing shadows
down on the thoroughfare for the
greater part of a century, are being
cut done to make room for a modern
concrete pavement.
The trees are three in number—one
buttonwood aud two maples staudiug
in front of the Askins homestead,now
the property of Mr. Goeser. They
are veritable giants towering far
above the tiousetops. It is practicable
to removed the trees only by cutting
them down in sections, first removing
the limbs and lastly Jilie trunk Even
employing this method much care has
to be exercised lest the buildings, the
telephone or electric light wires be
damaged.
To assist in looking after the wires
Borougti Electrician Smith was on
the ground yesterday and rendered
valuable assistance. In additiou a
large crowd was present and advice
teudered to the workmen as to how to
proceed was as plentiful as it was free
The first big tree next to Mr. Goeser's
warehouse was removed and the trunk
extracted from the sidewalk on Thurs
day The second tree, or the big but
tonwood, was practically gotten out
of the way Friday.
What adds a special interest to the
trees is their great age. The oldest
persons living in the neighborhood
have only the merest traditions as to
when they were plauted. Michael
Powers, who is considerably over
uinety years of age and lias lived for
the greater part of his life literally
in the shadow of the fine old trees,
says ho has uo knowledge of when
they were planted. Tliey were there J
when he took up his residence on the
street. He has kuowu the trees sixty |
J aud odd years. Mr. Powers remarked
j yesterday that he always understood
; that the three trees, which actually
stand on the sidewalk, grew naturally
at that spot and were there before the
street was laid out.
One of Danville's especial charms
lies in its beautiful trees, which in
many parts of town stand in stately
rows, imparting to the streets in sum
mer an inviting aud sylvan appearance
j that is sure to appeal to the stranger.
| One can not help but regard with re-
I gret the tendency to get rid of as
! many of these trees as possible, thus
! destroying witli a few strokes of the
| axe what beneficent nature with its
| unbounded resources was able to pro
: luce only in the span of a human life.
! In the case of the three trees in
question, however,as viewed by those
living near by, there is a pretty good
excuse for removing them. Although
apparently sound,owing to their mas
sive limbs and great height uo one
• knows what to expect in case a storm
<jr uunaut.i „, a<> to Strike tne
j town. The shade, too, at that partic
| ular point is regarded by some as a
| little too dense to contribute to health
| ful conditions. Nevertheless, the row
!of fine trees will be much missed for
j awhile, even though a concrete pave
j meut as a modern improvement takes
' their place.

AGNES H. GARGER
LjUDJO REST
Agues H. Garger, who lost her life
Thursday morning by falling out of
an automobile, was consigned to the
grave in Odd Fellows' oemetery at 3
o'clock Friday afternoon. Although
none of her relatives were present and
none knew of her death yet she was
very nicely buried and the services
both at Doster'a undertaking establish
ment and at the cemetery were attend
ed by a large number of people includ
ing the members of the Eclipse Carn
ival company.
The unfortunate girl was laid to
rest in a beautiful silver plush .casket
with silver trimmings, the lid bear
ing a large plate with the inscription,
"At Rest." She was buried with the
simple Episcopal ceremony, in addi
tion to which a quartette sang a selec
tion. There was also a beautiful floral
offering as a tribute from the company
to which she belonged.
No inlormation has as yet been re
ceived from any of the sources ad
dressed relating to Miss Garger's fami
ly, and as time wears on it begins to
seem doubtful whether any of her rel
atives will ever be located. While the
last sad rites were being performed
over the dead girl Friday the
thoughts of all instinctively reverted
to the mother of the dead girl in far
off Buda Pesth—at that very moment
no doubt, parent-like, thinking of her
absent daughter, little dreaming that
her life had gone out and that alone
among strangers she was being con
signed to the grave.
Among the personal effects of the
deceased was found a document show
ing that "Agnes Garger was born in
Buda Pestti, February 3, 1884. This,
along with the fact that she was a
member of the Episcopal church, is all
that has been learned concerning the
dead girl since Thursday.
Manager Yost has not abandoned
hope of hearing from New York in
relation to the dead girl. W hen Miss
Garger left New York for Mahanoy
City, some four weeks ago, she was
without funds to pay her hotel bill
and she was obliged to leave her trunk
as security. What ever the intrinsic
value of the contents of the trunk may
have been to the girl, what was con
tained therein was very precious and
she worried much over the safety of
the trunk. To relieve her anxiety, a
few days before tier death. Manager
Yost advanced her sufficient money to
pay the hotel keeper. Miss Garger sent
the money to a woman in New York,
who. obedient to iustuctions, paid the
bill and placed the trunk in storage.
The first mail that readied Danville
| after the girl's death brought a letter
witli the storage receipt for the trunk.
Along this clew Justice of the Peace
• Oglesby is at present working. At the
i request of the show people lie address
' nil the ofilef-of-police of New York
i supplying him with data aud request
t' ing him with sucli authority as he
i | possessed to open the trunk and see
' | whether the address of any of Miss
■| Garger's relatives can be found.
| Whether the chief-ofpolice of the
i metropolis will see his way clear to
comply, or whether the storage com
pany will yield up the trunk under
1 the circumstances, is quite uncertain
| at this time. It is the last hope. Unless
the desired information comes from
that source it is hardly probable tiiat
her mother or any of the other rela
tives of the unfortunate girl will re
ceive information of her death or in
the future cease to look upon her as
living.

Many Lives Were Saved.
The State department of health has
saved many more lives among the poor
of Pennsylvaina by the free distribu
tion of diphtheria antitoxin as shown
by the records of the cases thus treat
ed duriug the first six months of 1907.
During that period the death rate
from diphtheria among the cases treat
jed with the State antitoxin was only !
eight per cent,as compared with eleven
per cent, for the first six months of
1906. Health Commissioner Dixon at
tributed this very largely to the fact j
ttiat the physiciaus throughout the j
State are now using the antitoxin j
earlier aud in more liberal doses.
Duriug the first six mouths of 1907
there were 1,712 cases of diphtheria in J
Pennsylvania treated by the antitoxin j
supplied free of charge by the depart
ment of health's five hundred distri
buting stations. Out of this number
1,560 persons,nearly all little children,
were restored to health and strength.
During this same . period also, 1,073
persons were treated with the State's
antitoxin in immuuizing doses aud the
records show that of this number only
eighteen contracted the disease.
The great work that Pennsylvania is
doing in saving the lives of the chil
dren of poor people who could not
afford to buy antitoxin when their lit
tle ones are stricken with diphtheria
lias attracted attention all over the
country, and the health commissioner
is continually receiving letters from
other states asking information as to
the methods of distribution pursued by
his department.
GUARDSMEN'S
WEEK IN CAMP
»
Company F, Twelfth regiment N.
G. P., sixty members strong, all in
good health aud happy, notwithstand
ing their heavy drills, "hike" aud
sham battles, arrived at South Dau
ville on the 2 :21 Pennsylvania train,
Saturday afternoon.
Not only were the men strong and
vigorous on their return home, but
there was not an accident nor a single
case of illness in the company during
the week in camp. The usual interest
attached to the return of the boys and
not only were the guardsmen them
selves glad to get home again but they
found the usual pleasant and general
welcome extended, revealing that our
townspeople feel a warm interest in
the national guard and that what sacri
fices the members are called upon to
make from time to time in its behalf
are by no means in vain. The same
applies to Bloomsburg aud Catawissa,
where some of those that belong to
company F reside. As a matter of fact
about fifteen members of Company F
reside out of town. These left Dan
ville on the 3 :50 trolley car Saturday
afternoon bound for their homes in
Bloomsburg aud Catawissa. The same
pleasant greeting that they found in
Danville was accorded to them all the
way between the latter point aud their
homes.
The muibers of the company, while
pleased witli tiieir week's experience
iu camp, do not hesitate to affirm that
they found the work hard. The en
