Montour American. FRANK C. ANGLE. Proprietor. I Danville, Pa., Jan. 16, 1908. Ojrn aa.i Tom uoea. It was assorted that tile late cold Spring of 1907 would; mean a poor tomato crop, but tho lateness of frost in the 112 »li enabled the tomatoes to ripen and giv« the largest pack ou \ record. In Maryland more than 5,000,- j 000 cises were packed last year, moie than one-third of the total tomato pack of tho United States. Second came Delaware, with 1,300,000 cases; then California, Indiana and the two ' All these packed upwards of 1,000 000 cases each, and New Jersey 1 packed 914,000, no other State reach- I ing half a million. The total for the United States wns 12 930,185 cases, compared with 9,074 965 cases in 1896. | Cana la's pack aiuouuted to only 525,- 000 cases iu 1907, against 725.000 iu 1896— further evidence of tho chilli ness of the summer in the north. The \ grand total tomato pack iu the United Status aud Canada for 1907 was 13,- 445,185 cases which was an increase of 37 p->r cent over the pack of the pre ceding year, tho latter beiug the trifle, above the average To offset the iuerease in the tomato pack, there was a serious shortage iu ' the coru pack, which amounted to only I 7,000, 044 cases against 9,561,000 cases ! in 1906 How far the short p«ck of canned coru will operate to stiffen the price of that article aud thus nullify its competition with canned tomatoes— ! how far the general trade depression will cut dowu the pressure for canned vegetables, necessitating the lowering of prices to effect sales —no oue cau at present predict. The fact that there will be plenty of canned tomatoes at reasonable prices, will be welcomed by house holders aud all concerned in the pur chase of table suplies, for canned to matoes are very generally relished aud have become a staple articlejof Ameri can fare.

After reconvening yesterday morn ing court attached the case of Com monwealth vs. Harry Hiushelwood. The twenty-four men called to the jury box were sworn as a whole alter which each one was interrogated sepa- ' ratelv as to whether he had been im- | properly approached, had formed au opiuiou iu the case or was a patient of the defendant. On request, the twelve men challenged, retired, which j left the following jurors iu tlie box to decide on the case: W. T. Madden. C. C. Moyer, Wil liam Messersmith, Jacob Holdren, Elmer E Keuu, Samuel Hiluei,Thom as Woods, Joseph Wintersteen,William Rcgert, William I. Dyer, George Van ordstrau aud Jacob Hatman. The charge iu this case was procur iug an abortion, which resulted iu death. William H. Treas, father of Salome •Tones, wife of Arthur Joues, the vic tim of the alleged abortion, was the | first witness. He merely testified as i to the marriage of his daughter, the j fact of her death aud physical condi tion prior to it, which he said was good. Mrs. Mabel Pursel, sister of the al | leged victim, was called to the stand, j She testified'as to tier sister's coudi ! tion, which had been delicate for ov er a month prior to her death. | Dr, Curry, who was called to atteud j Mrs. Jones on the Sunday before her | death, was called to the stand. He , found the womau suffering with symp- I toms of peritonitis, which might have | resulted from au injury. He gathered ! from what he had learned from the husband what had occurred, a state of affairs, which frequently results iu I peritonitis. Ou the afternoon of the day following Mrs. Joues died. The woman was taken ill the Wednesday prior to the Sunday that Dr. Curry | was called. ! Mrs. Eliza Treas, mother of Mrs .Tones, was the next witness. She saw I her daughter ou Wednesday.November I JOth, at the home of the latter. She j was then suffering very much with j paius in the ah otuiual region. On I that day she was obliged to take hex bed, which she kept until death fol lowed. On Friday afternoon Mrs. Jones, the alleged victim, made a statement to her mother confessing what had oc curred aud incriminating the defend ant. The sick woman's mind then wa clear aud she was perfectly rational, j She said she felt sure that she would not get well, as she had been hurt in j temally The details of Mrs. Jones' state | nient as testified to by Mrs. Treas ! were not of a sort that could appear lin the public prints. Iu effect the statement set forth that on Tuesday night, November 19, Mrs. .Tones accom panied by her husband went to the residence of the defendant in this I city. She was taken into the house where instruments were employed by j Dr. Hinshelwood. She endured great j paiu during the operation. With the | process still in continuance she return [ I'd to her home with her husband and I the noxt day became very ill as above j explained. The defendant, the wit- J uess testified, called at the Jones resi lience aud made his way to the sick j chamber closiug thejuoor on the wit- I ness. j Mrs. Jones, according to the testi | mony, told her mother that she was i cautioned to keep the operation a pro ! found secret—that the defendant had | cantioued thorn that they must come jto his place after night, as he was watched, and that even the mother of I Mrs. Joues must uot know what had i taken place. Mrs. Treas said that her daughter had informed her that her husband had paid the defendant five dollars and had giveu her teu dollars additional to pay iiim. In cross ex i amination the witness explained that | she did not iuforni Dr. Curry of the i import of tier daughter's statement when he was called to see the latter on Sunday morniug. The next witness was Mrs. ,T W Treas, a sister-in-law of Mrs Jones, I who testified as to the mental oondi | tion of the alleged victim on Friday, | Nov. 22nd,the day on which she made j her incriminating statement. The wit ness declared the woman's mind then was clear and she was perfectly ra tional. Miss Moeschlin, who was witli Mrs. , Joues during her last illness and made some observations about the house, was an important witness. Miss Moeschlin was corroborated by Mrs. Pursel, sister of Mrs. Joues,who was recalled to the stand. Dr. A. T. DeWitt was called to the stand. He was the physician of Mrs. Jones, but was away from home when j her illness and death occurred. He testified iu support of Miss Moeschlin 1 and Mrs. Pursel. i At 2 o'clock the Common wealth rest ed. Up to the hour of noon W. Kase I West had charge of the defense unas sisted. During tlie afternoon session lis was assisted by A. W. Duy of Blooinsburg. Hon H M Hinckley as private counsel rendered valuable assistance to the Common wealth. William Kase West in outlining the defense to the jury made it clear that an attempt would ho made to disoredit the alleged dying statement and to fix the responsibility of Mrs. Jones' death upon the woaiau herself. The first witness called by the do feuse was Dr. Harry Hiushelwood, the defendant. He explained that he is a graluate of Haliuiieman medical col lege and has been practicing medicine since 1895. For some three years past he has been located in Danville. He did not deny that Mrs. Salome Jones appeared at his office on the evening of November 19 and that subsequently lie visited her at her home as testified to by the Commonwealth He denied, however, that there was anythng criminal in his treatment, of the pati ent. Mrs. Joues came to his office on tho above date, stating that she was suffering from a female trouble and requested an examination. She was alone on the occasion. Her husband, Mrs. Jones explained to the doctor, had gone to the barber shop. Dr. Hin shelwood's wife was in the front office. He made the examination and ex plained to the jury the nature of the trouble that existed in Mrs. Jones' case, which he described as a common one. Desiring to make a further ex amination he requested Mrs. Joues to return to the office during daylight. On November 21st, he received a tele phone call, in response to which he called on Mrs. Jones. He did not find the symptoms alarming. He continu ed to visit her until dismissed from the case On one of his visits he found evidence that an operation had been performed Mrs. Jones, he said, in timated that this was a matter which she wished kept secret. Mrs. Hinshelwood, wife of the de fendant, was called to the stand. She corroborated tne testimony of her hus band on some points. Arthur Joues, husband of the alleg ed victim of malpractice, was called to the stand. He swore that he did not accompany his wife to Dr. Hin shelwood's office on the night of Nov. 19; nor did he know that she had I made suoli a visit, until she told him ! about it on the way home. His testi -1 uiony exculpated Dr. Hiushelwood and [ fixed the responsibility of his wife's | death on the latter, herself He denied I that he had employed Dr. Hiushel wood or that lie had ever paid him any mouey. I)r W. K. Paules was the next wit ness. He offered expert testimony in support of the view that there was nothing criminal or injurious in effect in the treatment that Dr Hiushelwood, according to his testimony, had given Mrs. Arthur Jones. Dr. Paules was followed by Dr. Harpel.Dr. Newbaker, Dr. Stock, Dr. Patton, Dr Sliultz, Dr. A T. DeWitt and Dr. Curry, who testified to the same effect The testimony closed last evening. 1 The case will be given to the jury this morning.

A dash of summer in the midst of winter is an agreeable variation. It makes for health and pleasure and stimulates vitality. For the extended trip, Southern California,the fruit and flower land of the Pacific Coast, offers unrivaled attractions. For the fortnight's trip, Florida, the summer garden of the Northern winter, bids you come and enjoy its genial sun shine, its tropical scenes and its out-door life. For the ten days' outing, Pineliurst, Camden, Aiken, Augusta, Southern Pines and other popular resorts in the pine belt of the Carolinas and Georgia offer many inducements. For the short trip—the week-end outing—Atlantic City is always attractive. The same breezes that depress the ther mometer in summer seem to keep it up in winter. It offers great hotels on the ocean's edge, out-of-door life on land and sea, and a climate full of snap but shorn of the winter severity. Before deciding on jour midwinter outing consult a Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agent and get a Pennsylvania Railroad Winter Excursion Book. Whether you select Cali fornia, Florida, the Carolinas, or Atlantic City, the Pennsyl vania Railroad offers a comprehensive train service, reasonable rates and ticketing arrangements, and the best facilities that modern transportation methods can provide.

SSOOO FOR A IKTOIMENT Tlie K raii(l jury in session Tuesday approved of the proposition that Mon tour county build or assist to build a monument to the memory of the sol' dierN and sailors of the civil war and recommended the expenditure of five thousand dollars for that purpose. The petition, signed hy nearly two hundred representative citizens, pre sented to court ou Monday, was sub mitted to the )»rand jury for the first thing in the afternoon session. Hon. K. S. Ammerman appeared be fore the grand jury in behalf of the petition of the citizens. Frank O. fechoch,secretary of the soldiers' monu ment committee, was present as a wit ness. He exhibited to the grand jurors the design of the proposed monument and testified as to the estimated cost of the same and the araonut of money alieady raised to assist in paying for it. The action of the grand jury relat ing to the proposition followed after a very spirited debate, in which a large number of the members participated. Mr. Ammerman made a forceful plea on behalf of the monument. Following is the grand jury's report on the matter: The grand inquest inquiring for the county of Montour and having regular ly before it a petition of fifty or more i citizens of Montour county praying I that the county of Montour erect and complete a monument iu memory of the soldiers of the late war of the Re : bell ion or to pay debts heretofore con tracted for or about the erection and I construction of such monument, after full and fair hearing to all persons in terested, this application, by proper ! resolution of this inquest, was approved and it is further recommended that 112 the sum of five thousand dollars be ex pended by the county commissioners in carrying out this purpose of the citizens signing said petition.
