Gen'l Manager j THE LATE HERBERT CLIFTON MOYER The following obituary of the late j Herbert Clifton Moyer appeared in the j Coatesville "Daily Union," of Fri- i day. The kind words very beautiful- j ly echo the tender sentiments that abide in the hearts of Herbert's friends in Danville. The article states. Herbert Clifton Moyer departed this life at 5 o'clock this morning at 271 East Chestnut street, in the 35th year ! of his age. He was born in Danville, I Pa., on March 3, 1873, his parents be- j ing William H. and Minnie A. Moyer. ' At the age of 18 he graduated from J the Danvilli high school. He came to j Coatesville about 15 years ago and en- j tered the employ of the Lukens Iron and Steel company as a draftsman. By close attention to business and hard study he made himself a parti cularly useful man to his employers and about 8 years ago was advanced to the important position of master mechanic of all the steel plants and mills of the Lukens company and fill ed that position with credit to himself and profit to those who liafl entrusted him with the responsibility of looking j after their machinery. But in the midst of his success when the future looked very rosy and attrac- I tive to him aud hops beat high iu his ! manly heart, sickness seized him, and for the past seven months he has been i a great sufferer, the extent of which J only those who watched by his bedside j have any conception of. But he bore j it bravely and patiently. For the past teu years he has made his home with Misses Lizzie aud Emuia Ford, to whom he was as a brother. For the past three weeks Ills father has been by his bedside, who was joined this week by his mother. The deceased seemed to be a great favorite with all who had the slight est acquaintance with him. as well as of those close to his life,and when the word went out that he had been call ed from his life, expressions of real regret were to be board on every hand. He was uuited iu marriage to Miss Libbie Roth, of Danville, about 12 years ago, who died three years later, leaving an 11 month old daughter Evelyn, who resides in Danville with her grandmother Roth. His parents j and a younger brother Leroy also sur- | vive him. Several years ago he united with the j Danville Lutherau church. He was j also a member of the Masonic Lodge of Rome, N. i\, and the Royal Arc anum of Coatesville. Kept Wedding Long A Secret. Friends of Charles E. Mericle and Miss Zella S. Thomas, both of Jersey town, were agreeably surprised on Tuesday to learn that they had been wedded last May. So well did they keep their secret,howevet, that not an inkling of it did any one get until the j bride's mother happened to read a let ter from the bridegroom to the bride, ! which had been iu a thoughtless mo ment let lie ou the sitting room table j ot her home. In this he called her his | wife. The ceremony was performed at Pottsvilie on May 18th, 1907. by Rev. \ Dreisbach. The young couple had gone there to spend the day, aud while in the city they decided to get married, j Then they kept it a secret intending j to do so until next spring when they j thought they would tell of it and go | to housekeeping. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Thomas, and the bride- j groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Wil- j liam Mericle. Their many friends ! wish them a happy and prosperous journey o'er life's stormy seas. Pleasant Party. A very pleasant party was held at the home of Mrs. Mary Deusberger ou . Saturday evening. The guests were entertained with music and games. Refreshments were served. Those present were Mr. and Mr. David Steffen, of Washingtonville, Mrs. Densberger, Mrs. Katie Martin, Miss Tillie M. Kinn, Miss Fannie Whispel, Frank Baker, Charles Lake, Harry Lyons. W. Hartman, L. Hart man, John Delsite, Charles Densberg er, Herman Densberger, Savannah Knorr, Bertha Knorr, Clara Apple gate. FOHND DEAD JN HIS BED Stephen Girard Reefer, a resident of this city, Saturday moruiug.was found dead iu bed at the home of his-uon-in law, Frauk Starr, a short distance be low South Danville. The sudden death led to complications, which have held up the funeral arrangements aud made it impossible to remove the body. The deceased retired Friday night iu his usnal health. On Saturday morning when he failed to arise.Mrs. Starr sent one of the children up stairs to call him. The little one returned explaining that "grandfather was sleeping." At 8 o'clock Mrs. Starr herself went up stairs to call her father and found him dead. At what time in the night he expired is not known, but from all appearances when discovered he had been dead some six hours. The sudden death was brought to the notice of Justice of the Peace E. W. Young, but upon investigation aud learning the facts as above stated he | decided that an inquest was not neces j sary. The family residence of the deceased i is at 229 Mowrey street. Arrangements . were at once made to bring the body to town, but it was found that under the circumstances a death certificate j could not be issued, without which a I permit for removal and burial can not be granted. The deceased in the past was afflict ed with heart trouble and that disease it is thought, was the cause of his J death. But as death occurred without ! medical attendance anil there was no inquest held it was difficult to get the data required to make out a complete J aud satisfactory certificate aud returu of death. Under the circumstances it , was not possible to remove the body. | The deceased was 66 years of age aud beside his wife is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Starr, aud five sous: Charles, Abram, Jacob and Roy, of this city and Wesley, of Sunbury. Small Pox Nearby. For the first time in several years j small pox has broken out in Northum berland county. The victim is a nine ' year old boy. John Smith,of Lavouia, | a small town in Midvalley, near Mt. ' Carmel. Dr. Houston was called to at tend the case Sunday, found it small pox and notified Dr. Samnel Dixon of the State board of health. Dr. Dixon \ in turn directed Dr. Harmon, of Blooinsburg, to make a thorough ex- I amination of the case He did so and j confirmed the first diagnosis. The boy j has been placed in strict quarantine. The Man Who Didn't Vote. Iu some after-election reflections the Chester Times refers to the responsi- j bilitv of the men who did not vote by saying: "We may talk about this form ; of municipal government,or the other; but the method will amount to noth- i ing so long as the individual does not I exercise greater interest in his civil j duties. It is the man who don't vote j who is responsible for a large part of \ our ills. He holds the balance of pow- \ er,but only when he is stirred by some j overt act of officers of the government does he seem to realize that he is charged with the duty of transacting public business. •' riasquerade Party. John Mowrey entertained a number of friends at his home on R'ast Mahon ing street, Monday evening, in honor of his 18th birthday, at a masquerade party. Refreshments were served.

Black of that city. Two hymns in particular were exceedingly popular. They are "When the Saints Are Marching" aud 'Walk Beside Me." These two hymns were issued in seventy-five hymn books aud printed more than 5,000,000 times. They were used extensively by Moody and Sankey. Others of her hymns have , been published from coast to coast in almost every hymn book used in the Methodist church aud in many other j denominations. The two hymns men tioned above were suug at the funeral of the deceased on Friday afternoon. Time for Thanks. Adverting to the time set for our anuual national Thanksgiving Day, the Snnbury Daily Item aptly says: "It's a good thing that Thauksgiving Day follows the usual conflict among the electors of the commonwealth. Everybody reels thankful when these contests are over and we are permitted to resume our routine of life." DEVELOPMENTS I CHURCH WAR Tim war in the Lutheran church at Trevorton which was spoken of some days ago in this paper goes merrily on. Developments are following each oth er in rapid succession; the people are becoming more and more interested, and the pastor, in whom the whole trouble centers, remains obdurate, dinging to his post as a drowning man to a raft, spite the fact that he has been told time and time again that his presence is no longer desired. The congregation has dwindled down to four now. This quartette of loyal Christians attends church every Sunday and listens with profound at tention to the Word as expounded by the divine. The text of the mandate of the synod,received by the Rev. Heyer sev eral days ago, is something like this: "We adviße Rev. Heyer to resign as pastor of the church at once.as he can do no good to the congregation under the present circumstances." To an ordinary mortal this would look like J a request to move on,but to the learn | ed clergyman it appears differently.so j indications would tend to show. The four loyal members tried to form a church council last week, but inas much as five are required for this body ! they found that a difficult task. To - make matters worse one of the four | remembered that ne was the church | treasurer and therefore could not serve on the council. That left the numbor | at three, and by and by one of these ' became afflicted with chills in the lower extremities,and behold the num ber was two. j Realizing that they could get none of their own church members to join j rlie council, the two branched out in search of converts. Finding three members of other churches, they im pressed upon them the mighty dignity connected with being on the council j and succeeded in inducing the trio to j enlist their servises. Then it was that the loyal support- | ers of the pastor the people don't want ' felt happy. Their plans had readied | a successful culmination. Now they would be able to do as they liked iu , the church. But a storm was brewing and it soon broke. Hearing of their parishioners' action, the preachers of the other churches becamo busy, and ; iu less time than it takes to tell it the council again numbered two. At the last report the church body still contained the number stated and Rev. Heyer was preparing a sermon for three. SO SOOTHING Its .Influence Has Been Felt by So Many Danville Readers.

A PROMISING CAREER CUT SHORT Our readers will be paiued to learn of the death of Herbert C. Moyer, a former resident of this city, which took place at Goatesville Friday morning. The deceased was the son of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Moyer, of No. 818 East Market street. For some eight years past he was a resident of Coates ville, where he held the position of maßter mechanic at the Lukeus Iron and Steel company's works. His illness covered a period of some six mouths. Death was caused by internal abscesses aud his sufferings were most intense during the entire period of illness. The end came at 5 o'clock Friday morning The deceased was aged 34 years, 8 months and 5 days. He was a widow er and besides his parents is survived by a brother, Leroy Moyer, and one daughter Evelyn,ten years of age,who resides with her grandmother, Mrs. Anua Roth, this city. Herbert C. Moyer grew to mauhood in Danville. He was a young mau of exemplary character, of studious habits I and especially gifted in intellect. He j was wholly selfmade and due to close j application and a sheer determination I to succeed, without any especial ad- j vantages whatever, he advanced rapid- j ly. He was a skillful draughtsman j aud finally was promoted to the high aud responsible position that he filled | at the time of his death.

The attorneys for Henry Fisher and , Staney Marcavitch.the murderers who were convicted at the recent term of the Northumberland county court, I have filed reasons for new trial for their respective clients. Welch & Welch have not filed all thsir reasons as yet because they just received their transcribed testimony. They claim that Fisher's letters to his wife, in which he incriminated him self, and to which his conviction was largely due, should not l>eeu been ad- \ mitted in evidence against him be cause they were confidential communi cations between man and wife. They claim that lie should have been dis charged because the law commands that no prisoner shall be held without trial after two terms have elapsed since his incarceration. Their other reasons w ill be filed after further study of the testimony. Attorneys Huth and McDevitt for Marcavitch have also filed reasons, showing wherein the court erred in its findings during the trial. Marcavitch was convicted of murd ering Charley Vesalonius, a Spring field cobbler, by driving a hatchet in to his brain. He attempted to implic ate a companion named "Pimple Face" Joe. but the evidence failed to bear out his statements, although Joe in his attempts to free himself from suspicion lied so profusely on the wit ness stand that his testimony counted for nothing.

A "WINDFALL" _FOR_ FARMERS Due to the shipping of apples from South Danville, inaugurated the pres ent fall, the farmers of this vicinity are realizing an enlarged source of rev enue from their apple crop, which surpasses anything dreamed of in the past. Up to Friday twenty car loads of apples had beeu shipped from Sooth Danville, comprising in the ag gregate at least 18,000 bnshels. Nearly all these were picked apples, which command a price of fifty cents per bushel. It will be readily seen,there fore,that the portion of the apple crop shipped over the Peunsy has netted the farmers of this immediate vicinity many thousands of dollars. The apples shipped from South Dan ville were weighed on the scales of J. H. Kase's store. Up to Friday noon 290 wagon,loads had beeu weighed and they were still coming in at the rate of two or three per hour. These ap ples, Mr. Kase says, were all weighed during the last two weeks. Incident ally, it has been learned that there are thousands of bushels of apples still on the trees or lying on the ground where they.'have dropped, within a radius of a few miles of South Danville. Miles Reed of near Boyd's station has gath ered a crop of 1200 bushels, the most of which he shipped over the Pennsy. It is Bomewhat surprising to learn that in spite of the cold spring with its late frosts the apple crop in thiß section is one of the largest in many years. But for tho lucky circumstance that a purchasing agent happened to turn up here the thousands of bushels purchased and being sent to other parts would in great part have gone to waste and the farmers would be out of pocket the snug sum now being realized from shipping. A farmer who brought a load of ap ples in from the vicinity of Rushtowu Friday stated tiiat between Danville and liis farm thousands of bushels of choice apples are lying under the trees aud going to waste. On his own farm thero are still hundreds of bushels of apples ou tho trees. Owing to the scarcity of help and the pressure of other farm work he has little hopes of being able to gather more than a small portion of his apple crop. A continua tion of the present kind of weather for a week or more would enable the farmers to turn thousands of bushels of apples into money ; but should freez ing set in, which is likely to happen at any time, all the apples not yet gathered would be a total loss. The present is the first that apple> have been shipped,at least in a whole sale way, from South Danville. As a resident of the south side remarked Friday it has proven "a windfall" to the farmers ot this vicinity and has opened their eyes as to the true value of an orchard.

TWO DESERTED WIVES APPEAR Dauville seetns to be u favorite hid ing place for refiaotory husbands with uowly-fouud affinities. No less tliau two deserted wives were iu this city Friday looking up their faithless spouses. Iu one case at least it is in teresting to know that the woman found her man. Ic is a little difficult to get hold of all tho facts, as the woniau with the aid ol an attorney accomplished her purpose aud left town as quietly as she came. Figuring iu the case was au astute detective, who arrived iu this city Wednesday night. Locating man he wired the wife, who joined the detective Thnrsday. The recalcitrant hubby,with a Dan ville girl to whom he was supposed to be married, has beeu cutting a wide swath for a year or more. It was a rude awakeuing when the detective, with the deserted wife, confronted him and explained at length what all he was up against. The wife had him foul. She was in a position to dictate terms and it was his part wholly to comply. According to the stories told there was a tragic ! proceeding behind closed doors in the office of one of our attorneys, late Thursday night, when the faithless husband indue and legal form re nounced his claim to property jointly owned by himself aud wife aud vain- j ed at seven thousand dollars. Figuring in the proceedings as a ! "man of straw" was a youug profes sional mau, to whom the property own ed jointly by husband and wife was j first conveyed aud who in turn trans- ( ferred it back to the wife as sole own- | er. Knowing ones assert that this is only the beginning of the end aud that developments may multiply that will bring the hnsbaud aud the Danville girl out into the spot-light of public ity before ve.'y long.
