There seems little doubt but that lie was killed by the cars although the exact manner of his death seems shrouded iu mystery. About 9:30 o'clock Saturday night a message was received iu this city from Suubury, \fhich stated that the dead body of Waite had been found lying alone the track by the crew of the west bound paseuger train due to ar rive at South Danville at 7 :51 p. m. The body was picked up by the crew aud takeu along to Suubury, where it was delivered over to Undertaker Shipman. The point at which the body was found was described as being between Kipp's Run and Klinesgrove. Sunday morning the remains were shipped up to this city on the 10:17 passenger train. They were met at the station and conveyed to the undertak ing rooms of George W. Roat, East Market street. The home of the deceased is at No. 7 Grand street. Neither the wife nor auy of the orothers are able to explain what took the unfortuuate man to the spot where his body was found. To a report er Sunday it was explained that he left his home between 8 aud 9 o'clock Saturday morning without ex plainiug where he was going They had 110 idea of his whereabouts until the dreadful news was received that his dead body had been found. The body is not badly mutilated aud it seems unilkely that the man was un der tho wheels. The faoe is badly bruised, the eyes swollen, while there are one or more scalp wounds. What internal injuries may have been sus tained of courso is not known. It does j not seem unlikely that the man was ; struck by the cars and was thrown J away from the track.

BOY ROBBED BY A TRAMP It would seem to be about time that a pretty rigid example were made of some of the trauips; that',;infest this j section. A half-grown! boy was as saulted and robbed by a shabby-look ing stranger in this city Saturday aft ernoon. The dastardly'act following ou the heels of the asaualt committed ou the lady school teacher at Rush town Friday afternoon shows that in spite of our fancied security dofense less women and ohildren are exposed to constant danger from vagrant crim inals. The victim Saturday was the four teen-yaar-old son of;* Edgar L Kanck, Vine street. The boy bad been sent down town on an errand with a small sum of money in his'pocket. He was walking across the new park when he met the tramp, who immediately ac costed liim. The fellow's shabby ap pearance and sinister countenance im pressed the lad unfavorably and the latter kept his distance. The tramp made a dash for the boy, who Btarted to run. The tramp inado the best time of the two aud soon laid hold of the boy, who was so nearly overoome with fright that he could scarcely cry out. Making good use of the time the tramp went through the boy's pockets, turn ing them inside out and taking every cent of money contained therein. The lad hurried home and told his story but by that time the fellow bad disappeared. As far as the boy was able to note the tramp's appearance ho was a man of middle life; lie wore a j cap, brown pautaloons and a coat some ! what lighter in color; on his face was j about 2 week's growth of beard, j The above description is said to cor ; respond with the appearance of a tramp who terrified some women and children in Sageburg Saturday foro noon.

THEY APPEAL TO GOVERNOR STOART The trustees of the hospital for the iusane held a special meeting Fri day for the purpose of taking action on an important matter connected with the awarding of the contract for the new bnildiugs, which for a short time threatened to cause another hitch in the proceedings, but which now happily is practiually adjusted. When the bids for the new buildings were invited the specifications called for the Warren—Webster heating sys tem "or any other system equally as good.'' When the bids were opened it was found tlfat Mosier & Summers, who were the lowest by a considerable margin, had bid ou the Foster sys tem. It was not disputed that the Foster system is in every respect as good as the Warren —Webster system. The trustees, however, had seen the latter system in operation and regarded it as a demonstrated success. For this rea son it had the preference with them and it was decided that the successful bidders should be given a few davs to determine whether or not they could substitute the Warren—Webster sys tem for the Foster system without al tering the figures. Within the time limit allowed Mosier and Summers de cided that they oonld putin the War ren—Webster system without change of price. Accordingly the contract was awarded to Mosier and Summers and was approved by the governor. Some time later Metzger & Wells of Philadelphia, took formal exception to the proceeding, alleging that as Mosier & Summers had bid upon a heating system other than the Warren and Webster they were debarred and that the contract should have been awarded to Metzger and Wells as the next lowest bidders; also that; the same opportunity to modify their bids should have been allowed the other firms bidding. So greatly aggrieved apparently did Metzgar and Wells feel that they laid the whole matter before Governor Stuart. Thejgovernor took cognizance of the affair and called upon the trustees for an answer. The meeting of the latter body Friday was held for the pur pose of formulating a counter-state ment of faots. The following mem bers of the board were present: W. F. Shay, Esq. ,of Watsoutown ;G. K. Yau- Aleu.of Northumberland ; Hon James Foster and I. X Grier, Esq., of Dan ville ; S. D. Townsend, of Hughes ville;Dr. B. H. Detwiler, of Wil liamsport, aud Dr. L. I. Shoemaker of Wilkes-Harre. Hon R. S. Amuier rnau as attorney was also present. The board of trustees does not con sider the positiou of Metzger & Wells at all teuable in the premises and ac tion was taken at the meeting, pursu ant to which a committee accompanied by the president of the board will vis it Governor Stuart fully explaining to him all the facts, which it is stat ed, will show that contractors had the privilege of bidding for the heating system specified or for another one as good. Their action in giving Mosier & Summers a little time to determine whether they could not put In the oth er heating system at the same figure the trustees regard as perfectly reg ular and they believe that Governor Stuart will sustain them, How to Avoid Pneumonia Yon can avoid pneumonia aud other serious results from n cold by taking Foley's Honey aud Tar.

REPORT OF LOCALREGISTRAR The report of the local registrar to ; the bureau of vital statistics shows , that twenty-three cases of typhoid fev j er were reported during the month of i December. During the same month five deaths resulted from that disease. The records clearly indicate that ty | phoid is on the wane. The dimiuish jed number of new cases is quite per j oeptible. There are still a good many j cases of fever that are not diagnosed as typhoid. While some of the cases run their course in one or two weeks others linger for a month or more with regularly recurring fever, the patient meanwhile becoming very mnoh reduced. The houses wherein typhoid fever exists are now carefully placarded pursuant to the recommendations of State Health Commissioner Dr. Dix on. The apparant abatement of the epidemic is no doubt to be attributed | to the precautionary measures adopted J by the people. ; Dr. Shultz, secretary of the local I board of health, stated that a report on the water sent away to be ; analyzed is expected daily. Pending ! its arrival most people will no doubt ; prefer to be on the safe side and con | tinue boiling the^water. During December two cases of diph ! theria, one case of chicken pox aud ! eleven oases of measles were reported, i No deaths resulted from contagious j diseases. Grip seems prevalent town, none of the cases al | though the patients become very ill I for a few days. i iveunedy's Laxative Cough Syrup acts upon the bowels and thereby drives : tlie cold out of the system.

The discovery in Pitts burg of a school iu which young It ' alians were being taught to murder for profit or revenge ought to be sutfi | cient to prove that the Black Haud is a real thing aud that it has been re ; ceiviug recruits in large numbers con j stautly. Iu the Pittsburg case nine ' teen young Italians were found in a | clubhouse, all of them under the j tutelage of two older countrymen who were instructing the lads in the var | ious methods of killiug persons whom iit was desired to get rid of."
