W'ji. R. Miller. Wen'! Manager FISHER MADE A CONFESSION A confession by Fisher of the murder of Mrs. Sarah Kliuger.of Sha mokiu, for which crime, on circum stantial evidence, he was convicted by his jury, sentenced by the court, and is awaiting the time when the gover nor shall fix the date of execution,has just been brought to light. Although made months ago, it is of interest, as it fixes upon him absolutely tho kill ing of tho aged woman, which he tried in tho trial and in letters which he wrote while in jail to fix upon his wife. While in the hospital for the insane hero ho became intimate with an old man there, who was incarcerated be cause he was feeble minded. Iu a burst of confidence one day Fisher said to him : "What did it matter if I did bill the old woamn? She would have died in a few weeks anyway." The old man told this to the authorities and it was one of their reasons for asking that Fisher be sent back to jail at Sunbury. Of course on account of his age and mental infirmities it was impossible to introduce the old man's testimony against Fisher at the trial, and it was only by the strong net of circumstances which the district at torney was ablo to weave about tie prisoner, that he was able to secure his conviction, which was so richly deserved.

WHEAT NEAR THE .DOLLAR MARK Whatever decline may follow iu the piice of some commodities as the ulti mate iesult of the business depression it is not probable that flour quotations will take much of a tumble if the pre sent price of wheat is to be taken as a criterion. It will be of interest to our readers to learn that looal dealers are paying ninety-five cents per bushel for wheat and that until a couple of weeks ago the price paid was one dollar per bushel. Prom the farmer's viewpoint this is better than has frequently oc curred at this season, even when the times were considered more prosper ous. Evidently the depression has not affected the farmers inimically. A local miller is authority for the statement that there is still an enorm ous quantity of last year's wheat stor ed up in the granaries in this vicinity. In some instances the farmers have been deterrad from hauling out wheat by bad roads,but in the main they are holding back for higher prices. The miller quoted above is authority tor tiie statement that the farmers generally sustained a loss in last year's corn crop, which owing to the fact that it failed to mature before frost is practically unsalable and even pro duces an inferior article of feed. After husking, the cob remained soft with the result that the grains could not dry out. Wherever the crou is stored in quantity a process of heat ing sets in, which results in musty or sour feed deleterious in its effects when fed to cattle. Sixty to sixty-five cents is the price paid by the millers for corn iu small qauntities. Western corn is mainly depended upon. EASILY DECIDED.

STUBBORN FIRE SATURDAY NIGHT North Mill street was the scene of a stubbron fire Saturday night, which baffled the firemen for nearly an hour and caused muoh damage to two ad joining properties. The fire broke out in the residence of Matthew Ryan, the well known blacksmith, and communicated to the residence adjoining owned and occupi ed by Mrs. S. W. Hartline, the two buildings affeoted forming the last block on the east side of North Mill street opposite the Danville Milling company's plant. The fire was discovered about 9:15 o'clock just as it was eating its way through the roof. None of Mr. Ryan's family were at home, which aoconnts for the fact that the fire had gained considerable headway before it was discovered. The alarm was sounded by the Con tinental (ire company, which was promptly on the ground, followed by the Goodwill hose company. In re sponse to a general alarm the Friend ship fire company rushod to the scene of the fire, but its services were not needed. The Washington hose com pany got as far as Mill and Bloom streets when it learned it was not needed. When the firemen arrived the house was filled with a douse volume of smoke, which mado it difficult to lo cate the fire. Finally it was found that the woodwork iu the wall or par tition between tho two houses was burning. Tho only way to get at the flames was by using tho axes, chopping holes not only into the roof, but also the partition on both sides. Even with this advantage and notwithstanding that tho Continental company had two streams on the fire and tho Goodwill company had one it seemed to bo im possible to make much headway iu subduing the flames,which were slow ly devouring the woodwork in tho in nermost ror>»=='") '■' lo w»" hofrwenn the two houses and sent out trifling volume of black smoke, whidPfhreat ened to suffocate tho firemen. It was half past ten 9'clock before the fire men felt convinced that they had 'lie fire tinder control, although for nearly an hour afterward an immense volume of smoke continued to pour from the roof indicating the presence of fire. Aside from the damage done to tho two buildings the furniture especially lin Mr. Ryan's residence, was badly | damaged by the smoke and the water. J He carried an insurance of five hun dred dollars on the dwelling and two | hundred dollars on tho furniture. Mrs I Hartline also carried insurance. Mrs I Fedroff. who occupies rooms at the I rear of Mrs. Hartlino's apartments, es j caped loss. The most of her goods were carried out of the house, when tho fire seemed to threaten tho building. Mrs. Ryan, who returned homo soon after the fire was discovered, stated that on leaving homo she left a lamp burning low in the kithen. A story soon gaiue.d currency to theoffect that the fire was caused by the lamp ex ploding. This theory, however, was disproved by the firemen, who stated that when they entered the house the lamp was still burning. Tho fire is supposed to havo originated iu a flno.

PREPARATORY TO FILLING UP CANAL Preparatory to the work of filling up the canal and of reclaiming the area of land embraced the authorities at the hospital for the insane have cut down the long row of willow trees growing along the tow path betweeu the hospital entrauoe and the gas house. The trees have been cut up into oord wood, whioh is neatly piled up on the ground, while the stumps have been extracted and rolled over into the bed of the old canal as a contribution toward the filling up of the same. The eye misses the long*row of wil lows that lias graced the spot for so many years, but the obliteration of the canal, which is now assured,made their removal necessary, if the ground reclaimed is to be reduced to anything like a good state of cultivation. Already the deep holes caused by the extraction of the stumps have been filled up with earth. The wood will next be hauled away aud doubtless long before the canal is leveled over the Inst trace of the willows will have disappeared.

GYMNASTIC EXHIBITION A good sized audience gathered at the opera house Friday evening to wlt neßß the annual gymnasium exhibition given by ttie members of tbo Men's Christian Association, of this city. It was the most complete and fiinshed entertainment of its kind ever given in Danville. The program had been arranged with t)ducatioual?enda in view ; the aim be ing to show just what kind of work is done and what results are obtained by the physical department of the Y. M. O. A , and at the same time present an entertainment that would please the eye. Both of those objects were accomplished ia a manner that de lighted tiie audience.. Sixty-five members ol the different classes took part in the exhibition, all being dressed in white. Tne opening tablean, in which the entire oast par ticipated, was a beautiful and inspir ing spectacle. In each of tbo numbers that followed, whether given by the youngest boys and girls or by the more advanced classes, the precision and snap that characterized the exercises indicated clearly careful and diligent work by both instructor and pupil. Physical Director J. O. Ainswortli is deserving of much praise for the fine showing made by his different classes. All the arrangements ami pi ins for the exhibition were made under his supervision. Dissatisfied With Life at Poor Farm, A family consisting of husband,wife ; and three children, charges upon the j Danville and Mahoning poor distiict, \ dissatisfied with life at the county | farm, stole away from the institution tinder cover of darkness, Sunday night. £ The husband and wife are so ut- ' tirly incapable of taking care of them- j selves, especially at this season of the j year, that the poor boaril m >ved by sentiments of humanity decided to j bring the family back to the farui. It was not until Tuesday afternoon that tho runaways were located near Henry Vincent's farm in Valley township. They were brought back to the poor \ farm by Overseer of the Poor P. M. Kerns. It was after dark when they i were hauled back through town last night. They had tramped as far as Bloomsburg before they turned their footsteps in the direction of Valley | township.

SPRING BRINGS OUT THE AUTOMOBILES That spring is really with us was evidenced Sunday quite an much by the appearance of tho streets as by the oatLUiler. Not ouly was Mill street the scene of a promenade which lasted pretty much all (lay, hut the automo biles pat in an appearance lending a touch of color and imparting an air of gaiety to the scene quite in keeping with ihe spirit of summer. In all, five automobiles were out, owned respectively by W. G. Parse!, V. V. Haidacher, W. J. Emerick, W. W. Welliver and Harry Cromwell. Few of the automobilists ventured any further than Mausdale owing to the condition of the country roads. The State highway is in excellent condi tion, however. Since North Mill street 1b paved there are few towns that afford any better course for automobiles than Danville. The river bridge and the long stretch of paving in town afford a delightful run in themselves while the State highway adds a couple of miles more, that can be enjoyed re gardless of the condition of roads in general. Danville posesses ten automo biles in all and it will probably be only a few days until these have all come out for their initial run. Auto mobilists in Danville have no doubt a summer of delightful sport ahead of ! them. ENGAGEMENT BRACELETS The newest I'arisian fad is the be trothal bracelet. It Is not worn on the | ' wrist, but on the upper arm, the left i 1 arm, as nearest the heart. The fashion is said to have been in troduced by Princess Marie Bonaparte, i who received from Prince George of I Greece Instead of the traditional ring \ a double bnnd of «old made to tit about her arm close up to the shoulder. The two broad rings of which the ! ornament consists were chased with | an antique design and studded with ! diamonds and sapphires and had a j clasp of diamonds. The engagement bracelet Is made in ! many forms, however, sometimes with bangles of gems and sometimes with little chains of pearls looped from it. Often it Is perfectly plain save for a single line diamond or a small star of : brilliants. The bracelet must not take any fan olful form, such as serpentine, rope or 1 openwork effects. Its significance Is in tho double band, which is supposed to typify the union of the couple. Turtle as Watchdog. There is a new use for turtles, though ns yet It has not come Into common use.

The turtle appeared to hear and un ; derstand everything his master said and at night slept on a mat outside the j ! stateroom door, acting as watchdog, i Those who know turtles say that, while I the shellfish may not be very active, it has a grip which equals that of a full j blooded bulldog. 1 We never find that the same soil pro duces delicacies and heroes.—Hesiod.

The condition of United States Sen- I ator Penrose, who is seriously ill at his Home in this city,was reported to day to bo unchanged from that of last night when his physicians said the Senator was "extremely ill."
