C. C. Evans, president judge, and Associates I 'fi. G. Blee and Hou. L. W. Welliver being on the bench. Each application J for license was gtanfed. | During the session Judge Evans took occasion to define his position very j clearly,not ouly as to the enforcement j of the liquor law, but also the law ro | ,'ating to slot, machines. He explained ' that it had been brought, to the atten j tion of the court, that a number of slot j machines are Iu operation in Danville. He was not prepared to state whether this report was well founded or not, but he wished it distinctly understood that, if slot machines are maintained iu Montour county they will have to SO. In Columbia county there were j three prosecutions for maintaining ! slot machines. Conviction followed ; iu two cases, fine and costs in one case approximating 8400.00. The operation i ol slot machines is contrary to tho act of assembly and Judge Evaus warned all dealers that if prosecution occurred j in this county and conviction follow ed the court could be relied upon to follow the mandate of the law. j William Ease West withdrew the ! application of William Spade for li i cense in the Trainor building. North i Mill street. Before taking up the oth er applications Judge Evans read a i communication addressed to tho court and signed by six married women, in | which it was ohargod that the liquor laws are violated at the Cilendower i housc—tliat boys and girls between ; the ages of IB and 20 are iu the habit ! of frequenting the place,playing baga telle and drinking. Joseph Smith, the proprietor of the Gleudower house, was summoned to the caurt, house aud called before Judge Evans. Ti-.e court apprised him of the charge brought against him, inform ing him that it was only just that he should have au opportunity to auswer. Mr. Smith,the proprietor, emphatic ! ally denied the charge. Iu no inst ance, he said, are any children ever ! permitted iu his hotel. Judge Evaus stated that similar re ports affeotiug another house had reached him and he sounded a note of warning to tho effect that if such re ; ports could bo sustained prosecution 1 would follow aud iu case of convic tion the full penalty of the law would be imposed. Judge Evaus stated that in his opin ion there are too many licensed places iu Danville. This, however, he said, is a matter for the people of tho town to take up. It will be only a matter of time until a number of houses will have to go. It will be a question of the survival of tho fittest. The dealers who violate the law will be the first to lose their license. Judge Evaus stated also that he lias heard that the order requiring licens ed places to be closed between mid night and 5 a. m. is being violated by some. This order, he said, is still in force and must bo obeyed. The court after looking over the ap plications selected a batch that repre sented houses now licensed, where the applicants are the same as last year. In view of the fact that no remonstr ances were filed these applications were granted. There were still remaining three applications representing houses at present licensed, but where the ap plicants are new. These men were one at a time called before the court aud examined as to their character and general fitness for the business. Thomas Gernhiyt of Anthony town ship, who was an applicant for license ,it Strawberry.ridge at the hotel stand formerly occupied by Mr. Beaver, was j lirst called before court. Among the witnesses who testified iu his favor w ro Joseph W. Koons and .loliu A. Ellis, of Anthony township. Francis Slietler. who has purchased the Fred Moser hotel in Valley town -hip and who had applied for a license for that stand, was next examined. Frank Ellis aud John A.

DANVILLE, PA., THURSDAY. JANUARY 30, 1908 EKE CLASSES Willi I ill Mr Joseph R. Leisenring, of Mex ico, whose arrival iu this city was noted iu these columns Thursday, was the object of special interest and at tention during his brief sojourn at the home of his cousin, Henry Leisenring, West Mahoning street. Mr. Loibenriug was born in Dan ville. Hhas had an a'itive career, which lets carried hiui to the southern part of Mexico where lie is engaged in the cultivation of coffee. The interest which attaches to his visit is due to these circumstances along with the additional fact that during his life Mr. Leisenring maintained intimate social relations with the Lincoln fam ily and treasueres a couple of valuable gifts frotn the wife of Robert Lincoln, among them being a pair of gold framed spectacles, which belonged to Abraham Liuooln, the martyr presi dent. Joseph R. Leiseuring was the son of John Leisenring, who occupied the residence on West. Mahoning street at present the homo of Joseph W. Keely. In 1855, when the subject of our sketch was about, ten years of age, the familv moved to Mt. Pieisant,lowa, where it settled permanently. On Saturday, Mr. Leisenring spent some time looking up his boyhood cotupauions. Among those whom he especially recalls are George M. Gear lmrt,Robert Adams. Joseph W. Keeley, Joseph K. Pattou, R. W. Eggert and Benton B. Brown. Mr. Leisenring is a gentleman' of pleasing personality, gitfed as n con versationalist. His active business career and wide travels afford abund ant themes and under the magnetism of his discourse the hours flv by like minutes. He is a stockholder in a company that owns a large coiTee plantation in the State of Oxaco, 300 miles southeast of the city of Mexico, in the Sierra Madrc mountains. _ For 3 1 .J years he has resided iu Mexico in charge of the coffee plantation. The plantation lies 65 miles over the mountains and is accessible only by persons on foot or by packlioiscs. The plantation comprises a tract of 7000 acres and is made up wholly of moun tain laud. Mr. Leisenring exhibits a series of photographs,which shows the coffee growing luxuriantly up to the very summit of the mountains. Ouly 2400 acres of the tract are under cul tivation at present, but each year ad ditional coffee plants are being set out so that if will be only a matter of time until the whole 7000 acres will be producing coffee. The climate at the great elevation is mild and equable. The scenery among the mountain summits, whether under the sunlight or tlie lfiooulight, the sun set or the da vn is most beautiful ana inspiring and life there as described by Mr. Leisenring must possess a tare and romantic Charm. Mr. Leisenring during his visit ex hibited to his friends a pair of spec tacles that once belonged and were used by Abraham Lincoln. While liv ing at Mt. Pleasant. lowa, the Leis euring family was a next neighbor to the faimly of James Harlan, who was a member of Lincoln's cabinot. The most friendly relations existed be tween the two households, Mary Har lan, who married Abraham Liucolu's son, Robert, being a lifelong friend of Mr. Lieseuting. It was through the friondly offices of tho lady in question, Mrs Robert Lincoln that the goldrimmed spec tacles, after Mr, Lincoln's death, fell into Mr. Leisenriug's hands. The lady also presented Mr. Leisenring with a book belonging to her son, ".Tack" Lincoln, who died some years ago in Loudon. A represeutativo of this piper was permitted to peruse a letter written to Mr. Leisenring by Mrs. Lincoln, in which she fondly alludes to the two mementos presented to him. one relat lug, as she expressed it.to the "grand father, Abraham Lincoln,and the oth er to the grandson,'' her boy "Jaok " Tims is dispelled all doubt as to the authenticity of the eyeglasses and the book. PHYSICIANS HBET AT HOSPITAL The Montour County Medical society held aa adjourned meeting at the hos pital for the insane Tuesday after noon, on which occasion the annual electiou was held. The following oHicers were elected : President, Dr. Keid Nebiuger; vice presidents, Or. .T. H. Suyder and Dr. G. E. Stock ; secretary, Dr Cameron Sliultz; treasurer, Dr. P. O. Newhak er. Fry-Beyer.

The borough superintendent report ed that the number of pupils detained at home by illness has been much less during the present mouth than during the preoeediug month, when typhoid fever and mumps were prevalent. The attendance at present is nearly normal. The school board indulged in a lengthy discussion on tho subject of "tax exonerations," which of late years have becomo a weighty proposi tion, cutting pretty deeply into the revenue of the district. It was the sense of the board that a more persev ering effort, should be made to collect taxes from the class of persons for whom exonerations are asked Ou motion of Mr. Sochler it was ordered that on the first Monday of Februaty, as provided by the school law, the tax receiver meet with the school board for the purpose of ex amining tli" tax duplicate with refer ence to delinquents. The secretary was iustrurted to notify the fax re ceiver of tho action taken by the school board in the pr^mls^s, Mr. Burns of tho supoly committee reported that after examining various samples of floor and com pounds to preveut dust the committee had decided to recommend a prepara tion kuown ns "cotto-waxo."

Miles, was taken seriously ill with an attack of cougestiou of the braiu Tuesday forenoon. He was walkiug down Mill street about 10:45 o'clock aud when opposite the Ctiy hotel was overcome by the attack. W W. Gulick of South Danville, who was following olose behind Mr. Miles seeing that he was about to fall caught him iu his arms, aud, assisted by a couple of otiiers, carried the in sensible man into the City hotel where he was placed in bed. Dr. P. C. New baker and Dr. \V, R. Paules respouded ! to a call aud by proper treatment Mr. Miles was soou restored to conscious ness an'd was able to bo removed to his home on Ferry street He improv ed very rapidly duriug the afternoon aud by evening seemed little the worse for the attack J. D. Welsh, a York merchant, was awakened on Monday morning by the crying of it pet parrot and going down stairs to see what was wrong, found the dining room enveloped in flames, caused by live coals that had dropped out of a stove By quick, hard work the flames were soou subdued. SEIWS IKE NUB From developments it seems alto gether probable that our former towns man, Edward F. Reynolds, a seaman on board the Nebraska, has fallen a victim to some strange fatality. At least, the tact is well established that he has most mysteriously dropped out of sight aud knowledge. Mr. Reynolds, who was a skillful machinist, it will be recalled, a num ber of years ago enlisted iu the navy. At intervals of several years he was in the habit of revisiting Danville, where his mother and sister along with friends of a life time resided. His last visit occurred during tho latter part of last summer. Ho was then on the Nebraska aud as tho rewnrd for con tinued service had been promoted to be a patty or suboflicer. While in the navy, Mr. Reynolds had been over a large portion of the globe. That the life of a seaman was congenial to hta) aud that ho contemplated following the sea still further is attested by the fact that he had recently re-enlisted. Upon leaving Dauville he bade his friends good-bye with the avowed in tention of returning to the Nebraska. He was in the best of spirits and there was no premonition of ill. He actual ly returned to the ship, a friend in this city receiving a letter written on shipboard. The letter was of the usual characteristic sort aud contained noth ing that could be construed into a hint of pending change. A few weeks Inter Burgess Rogers of this city received a communication from the commanding officer oT the Nebraska informing hiru that Edward F. Reynolds had disappeared. His per sonal belongings remained on ship board and th?se after the usual interv al were disposed of according to the rules that obtain in the navy. Burgess Rogers at once to.i'.c the matter tip with tii- friends of the missing man in Danville, who were amazed at the news, but Wbre unable to account for the disappearance. Mn. A. M. R. Russell, sister of ih missing man,is in California and Mr- Reynolds, the mother, is visiting friends in another part of our State Nothing Ims boen omitted that might lead to the discovery of the mi-sing man, if living, hut after the interval of a month or more not a siuglo clue has been found and the friends here, in view of all tlie circumstances, have reluctantly come to the conclusion flint he has been overtaken by some fatality. Just what has occurred,how ever. to bring about his disappearance is enshroudetl in mystery. » CASH TAX OR WORK TAX SYSTEM Valley township at the next olection will vo'o on the question whether the township shall pay an all-cash road tax or contribute labor on tlio high ways in payment of said tax. At present, it appears, that M i hon ing township is the only township in the county that is woiking under a cash tax system. The experiment is said to be a success. in the other townships of the county senliuieut is divided on the question, with the pre ponderance probably ill favor of "working out the tax," according to the custom that has always prevailed. In those townships wheie the question was voted, on previously, with the ex ception of (lahoning township the cash tax proposition was defeated. The out come of the election in Valley town ship, therefore,because of the question involved will be watched with a good deal of interest. Printed on the bot tom of the bail will be two lines, one readiug : "i' ir an all-cash road tax" and the other, "Against an all cash roa 1 tax." The man who supports an all-cash road tax does not vote away his priv ilege of working on the township highways aud in that way of earning something to balauoe or reduce his road tax. It merely implies that for the work he does he will i Hive pay ment in cash and that lie i,i turn will have to pay the full amount of road ! tax in cash. At the annual convention of the road supervisors held in this city last Feb ruary the relative merits of the cash tax system and the work tax system were fully discussed. Several p rsons were pronounced in their view that the casli tax system in a few years will prevail, aud that the work tax opens I the way for abuses and is in no small inoasire responsible for the general condition of the roads, which 112 <r many years past has been the sulvject of ! criticism. | Whether any of the other townships | propose to vote on the su'j ■<" of tax ation is not known at present. Judge Sadler,of Cumberland con t>. | sitting iu license court this wetl< has I decreed that no musical instruments shall be operated played or n-■ . 1 in bar-rooms, and license* may be sum mar ly revoked for a vlolatl"n r.t rhi order.

H. Temple, Harris Temple and Hiram Temple, three "brothers, resi detits'of Danville, were arrested in' lliis city yesterday, charged with rob bing a store at Claikstown. A con -iderable quantity of the goods stolen was recovered at the homes of the ar rested men. Tim robbery was committed on I > esrlav night, .Taimaiy 21st. the pro : i (tor nf the store burglarized being IT. G. Beyer. The robbers effected an entranco by cutting through the door. Cpwsrrls of fifty dollars worth of merchandise was stolen, consisting of overalls, blouses, "gums and felts," baby shoes, gloves and tobacco, &o. Sometime after the lobbery the Tem ple brothers became the objects of sus picion and yesterday Mr. Boyer, the merchant robbed, accompanied by Jos eph 11. Smith, policeman aud special officer of Muncy, came over to Dan ville for the purpose of making the arrest. Immediately on arriving they took Oliief of Police Mincemoyer and Offio er Voris into their confidence,explain ing all the circumstances attending the robbery and asking their assist ance iu effecting the arrest. The officers immediately got busy and shortly ufter oue o'clock they ran across all three of the men wanted at the home of W. 11. Temple on Mon tour row. Han is and Hiram Temple are younger brothers of W. H. or "Bill" Temple, and live with their father iu another part of town. The three brothers were immediate ly placed iu the loßfc-up for safe keep ing until the time arrived for taking the traiu. On the way to the lock-up Hiram practically acknowledged com pl city iu the robbery, explaining to Officer Voris that himself and Hariis merely remained outside while the elder brother went through the store. Iu the interim,before the train left, the three policemen, accompanied by Mi. Boyer, went out to the residence of W. H, Temple on Montour row and there recovered and identified oue blouse,oue pair of overalls,two -darts, three pair of gloves three pair of chil dren's shoes,one pair of gums aud two pairs of felts. Later Officer Voris re covered from a trunk belonging to Harris Temple, which was kept at the home of the latter's father.ten pounds of tobacco, three pairs of buckskin gloves, one pair of buckskin mittens aud one pair of corduroy trousers. In addition the men were rigged out in clothing alleged to have been stolen from Mr. Boyer, consisting of shirts, overalls, corduroy trousers, gums and felts. The wife of W. H. Temple, at whose homo the most of the loot was found, explained that it was brought to the house during the night of Wed nesday, January 22ud. On one of the men arrested was fouud a loaded revolver and a large bunch of keys comprising a very great variety as to size and form. None of the men made any denial of having a part in the robbery. Officer Smith and the merchant who had been robbed, accompanied liy the three men arrested, left for Muucy on the 3 :!)ti P. & B. train. The intention was to give the n;en a hearing at Muncy last eveniug. YORK BRIDGE CO. IS DEFEND NNT Alleging that the York Bridge com pany was negligent, aud that it used old and worn timbers in supporting the traveler on the new Mifflinvillo bridge, which collapsed,sending seven men to their deaths, Mrs. Anna Mus selman. widow of Adam W. Mussel man, oue of the victims, has brought suit in the Colubmia county conrty to recover 810,000 damages. Clinton Herring, of Bloomsburg, Frank Wagenseller.of Selinsgrove.and Herring aud Wolvertou, of Suubury, are the attorneys for the plaintiff. They filed the preliminary papers in the prothonotary's office Wednesday afternoon. The plaintiff farther alleges that tho "traveler" was insufficiently brac ed and that because of this it collaps etl. For this reason she seeks to re cover pecuniary damages for the loss of her husband. John Morrison, a teamster of Anda lusia, Bucks county, was struck by a Pennsylvania express train on Mon day. His wife, who had waited a long time for him. went iu search of him and found his mangled remains j scattered along the track. .Tust as the funeral services at the home of Samuel Searfoss, of Norris town, over the remains of a young son, were concluded on Monday, a twin brother died in an upper room, adding greatly to the grief of the par- I ents.
