APFUCAIIONI
LICE IF VENUE
\ pplicat ion wan made for a change
of venue in the case of Common wealth
vs. "ot: r Dietrich at a sp»cial netkion
of court, held .Saturday afternoon
Court con veiled at 4 o'clock for the
jitirpis" of hearing the applii'ation,
Hon. 0. O. Evans,president judge and
A«»ociate« Frank G. Blee and Hon L.
W. Welliver being on the bench. The
session was a very lirlef one lasting
only about fifteen minutes
At the ringing of the courthouse
bell Peter Dietrich was brought down
from jail by Sheriff Williams and as
signed to a seat near where he sat dur
lug the preceding trials. lie is looking
well and seemed in good spirits.
Dietrich's application for a change
of venue was presented by Thomas C.
Welsh, of counsel for defense,who ex
plained that Hon. Grmit Herring, who
took the case up to the supreme court
and who will ba associated with the
defense at the coming trial, was un
able to be present Saturday by reason
of the fact that court was in session
at Snnbury and an important case with
which he is connected was on trial
there.
The petition for a change of venue
in part represents;
"That uudue excitement exists
throughout the county against the pe
titioner; that there exists in said
couuty so great a prejudice against
him that lie can not obtain a fair
trial; that there is a combination
against him instigated by influential
persons by reason of which lie cannot
obtain a fair trial.
"That owing to the three preced- (
ing trials of the defendant so much
publicity has been given the case by
publication of parts of the evidence
aud the opinions of the court aud the
supreme court that a prejudice deep
seated has been engendered in the
minds of so many of the citizens of
the couuty available for jury service
that it will be impossible to select a
jury that will be able to render a
verdict uninfluenced by the prejudice
and feeling existing against the de
fendant.
I " That the county of Montour is a
small county aim that the number of
jurors available for service in the
wliole county does not exoeed 2,500: 1
that ou the three trials heretofore held
at least 650 jurors have been summon
ed, many of whom listened to the
ovidenoe and trial and have talked
about it and have discussed the same
with their neighbors."
The court granted a rule to show
cause why a change of venue should
not be ordered. The rule will be argu
ed on May 18th at 10 o'clock. The
testimony will be heard orally.

DO NOT TRIM
TREES TOO MUCH
Referring to trimming trees and fix
ing up about a homo the Franklin
Evening News gives this advice : "iu
•fixing up' around a place, there is a
tendency to trim the trees aud most
people, once started at it, butcher the
helpless things and spoil the natural
beauty they possess. There is a har
mony of ordinary growth of form
which the trees produce men
have the gift to improve the view it
they do taore than cut away the dead
limbs aud the sprouts which do not be- J
long to the system of branches. Ever
greens especially, with low branches
aud thick leaves, need to be left, for
tiie most part, alone. There are many
estates which have beeu so thorough
ly 'trimmed' that the last remnant of
naturalness is gone. Stand back aud 1
let nature work. She will show you
how a tree should grow and how a
hedge should look."

The farmers have now entered upon
the work of corn planting. At most ;
places the sowing of outs is complet
ed.
At the farm connected with the hos
pital tor the insane they are planting
corn this week. Planting this crop
proves a very big job at the hospital !
farm. This year there are sixty acres i
of corn ground to be planted. The old I
method of planting corn by hand is i
pretty generally abandoned. At the i
hospital farm patent corn planters are '
used exclusively. ]

HOTEL LICENSE
TRANSFERRED
Associate Judges F. Q. Blee and
Hon. L. W. Welliver held a short ses
sion of court yesterday morning. A
hotel license in Derry township was
transferred from R. B. Moser, to Jos
eph Siegfried of Hughesvillo, a hotel
man of experience, who recently pur
chased the place.
The hotel in question is an old and
popular stand known as the Park ho
tel situated just south of the borough
line of Washingtonville. Mr. Moser.
who has been in charge of the hotel
for a good many years, will retire from
active pursuits,taking up his residence
at Washingtonville. The new landlord
moved into the place yesterday and to
day will opell up for business.
Funeral at Alms House.
The funeral of Mrs. Katie Helen
Shutt was held Tuesday afternoon
from the Danville and Mahoning alms
house. There was quite a large attend
ance there being a number of friendß
and relatives from this city present.
The services were conducted by Rev.
L. Dow Ott.
The second big nl>i]>tnent of fish fol
lowing tlie numerous applications
made for wall-eyed pike, pickerel,yel
low perch, bass and sunfish.bv a dozen
of oor local Waltons last fill reached
this city from the hatchery at Erie
Tuesday morning aud was met at tie
train hy a number of those who had
applied for the fish l'ry.
The first consignment, received last
Wednesday, consisted of wall-e4*d
pike; tlie second, which arrived Tues
day. comprised yellow perch and
pickerel. Other shipments that are to
follow aud may arrive at any day will
be made up of bass aud sunfish. Never
before was tfiere such a concerted
movemeut set on foot among the fish
erman to restock the waters of the
uorth branch audit is pretty evident
that the State intends to lend its full
co-operation by supplying all the Qsh
wanted as fast as applications are
made.
The shipment of wall eyed pike last
week comprised fourteen cans, four of
which were takeu up the stream and
deposited in the numerous eddies found
at the mouth of small creeks that flow
iuto the river, while the remaining
ten cans were taken down the river
and disposed of in the same manner.
The fish fry as a rule were very small,
scarcely an eighth of an inch in length.
It is. estimated that the shipment con
tained many thousands. The yellow
perch and the pickerel fry received
Tuesday were still smaller in size,
many of them indeed, being scarcely
visible to the eye. It would be very
difficult to estimate the number. The
shipment comprised sixteen cans, each
of which no doubt contained many
thousands of fish fry. Ten cans were
taken up the river Tuesday and the
remaining six cans were deposited in
the stream at Danville.
Some facts relative to the growth
aud development of fish were learned
Tuesday, which indicate that we will
not have to wait very loug before the
movement to restock the river will
bear fruit. In the first place, the fish
fry deposited in the river frequent the
same eddy in which they are placed
for an indefinite time, so that a per
son interested in nature study may
watch the growth and movements of
the fish during a whole season. Last
spring a can of fish fry that were as
small as any described in Tuesday's
shipment was placed in the river near
the hospital grounds. These fish were
closely observed during the summer.
They frequented the same spot in
creased in size at a regular rate. Small
as they were when placed in the river
in the spring by autumn they had at
tained a size of to 4 inches in
length.
THE STATUS OF
THE NEW PARK
It would seem pretty plain by this
time that the new patk as an attrac
tion iu Danville this summer is a
dream uot to be realized. The middle
of May has arrived aud the plot lies
precisely as abandoned last fall. Kank
grass aud weeds are growing up where
sod should be cultivated : the walks lie
unfinished. An unsightly deposit of
ashes to be used iu grading has been
dumped east of the center and alto
gether the spot is only a trifle mure
presentable than a year ago whet the
neglected graves made the spot forbid
ding.
Nobody seems to kuow how much
work will be doue ou the park this
summer uor when operations may be
gin. Just at present, it is explained,
the deed i.-: being executed r.ml deliv
ered transferring the tract from the
trutsees of the Mahoning Presbyterian
congregation north to the borough of
Danville. The conveyance of fiie
tract in not a purely perfunctory mat
ter but involves a great deai of negoti
ation aud scrutiny. The church trus
tees desire to secure for the grounds
proper care and to make it impossible
that they should ever be put to any
other use than that of a public park.
On the other hand the borough is care
ful not to accept any terms that may
prove burdensome and the parties to
the transfer find it mutually to tiieir
interest to"go slow". It is thoaght
that some action relative to work ou
the park may be taken at next meet
ing of council, Friday night, but it
will all depend upon whether or not
the deed Ims passed.
One of the borough officials Tues
day stated that it was doubtful wlietli
er anything would be done on the new
park uutil August, at least. He felt
sure that this would be tho case un
less additional money conld be raised
by popular subscription. If the bor
ough would have to finish the tract,
he said, the work would have to be
postponed nntll the taxes come iu,
which would not be until late in the
summer.
Fifty-four liens belonging to Owen
Henry, of Pennsburg, Montgomery
county, laid 304 eggs in one week.
Danville Tuesday presented au un
usual spectacle with a procession of
automobiles, a rouud dozen iu num
l ber, wending its way through the
streets. The sight was a unique one,
i uever equalled in the history of the
town.
Tiie party of autoinobilists,number
ing some forty-five, were members of
the Milton lodge, No. U13.8. P. O E.,
en route to Soranton to attend the
third auuual State convention of Penn
sylvania Elks, which convened in that
city yesterday. The Milton brethren
made a social call at the rooms of
Lodge No. 754, B. P. O. E., of this
city. There they were warmly wel
comed by the members.
By means of the telephone the local
lodge learned that the Milton contin
gent left that place about half past ten.
Shortly before 11 o'clock a party of
Danville Elks, in three automobiles,
owned by T. J. Price, W. G. Pursel
and W. W. Welliver, left the lodge
room for Mausdale to meet the Milton
j Elks. About 11 o'clock the procession
j entered our town. The three Danville
! cars were in the lead followed by nine
I automobiles from Milton, owned resp
j ectively by Edward Colvin, W. E.
■ Housel. J. T. Church, W. L, Wain
| wright, E. L. Lindner, Fred A. God
' charles,Edgar Summers,lra N. Higbee
j and Bertram Qalbraitli.
| The machines were distributed along
' the street between the Elks' building
and the Montour house, while the party
retired into the Elks' social rooms and
partook of a lunch served by the Dan
-1 ville brethren, who proved themselves
-most excellent hosts. The visitors ex
pressed themselves as impressed both
with the warmth of the greeting aud
the lavish entertainment. It was very
near 12 o'clock when the Milton Elks
proceeded on their way.
In addition to the owners of the cars
above mentioned the following from
Miltou were in the party : G. Dal Fox,
Edward Colvin, Harvey L. Lindner,
j John DeHaag, Elwood Frymire, Wolf

G(K>D STORY
FROfl GROVANIA
The following odd story from Grov
ania is not the conception of a "na
ture faker - ' but is vouched for as true
by persons on the spot.
The peculiar incident took place ou
the farm of Alonzo Mauser. Among
Mr. Mauser's ohickeus was an old hen
in which the maternal instinct was
strongly developed. The hen was de
termined tc hatch out a brood of ohick
eus aud M'. Mauser was just as deter
mined that she should not ard every
time she sought the nest he thre » her
off and removed the eggs.
At this juncture one of the cats of
the farm brought into tu. world a
nestful of healthy kittens. Although
so frequently baffled iu her purpose
the lien had by no means abandoned
the hope of being able to rear a fam
ily aud as the sequel shows she was
not at all particular whether her cl» 1 1 -
dren were cats or chickens.
Accordingly at the first opportunl f y
when the mother cat was absent the
old hen usurped the nest and iu a
motherly way spread out her wings
tenderly covering the whole Tamily of
kittens. When the cat returned took
her some time to realize what had oc
curred. When she approached the nest
the old hen with feathers bristliug
flew at the cat and then for a few
minutes the strangest of all battles
was fought Due to mediation the con
test went on record as a drawu battle.
The cat was given her kittens while
the zealous old heu was restrained
from further interference.
TOOK DINNER AT
MEDDENS HOUSE
A party of ladies of Shamokin were
driven over to this city yesterday in a
four in-hand hack belonging to Ward
rop's livery. The ladies took dinner
at the Heddens House. They arrived
in Danville about 10 o'clock in the 1
forenoon and started for home at 5:30
last evening.

Mesdames Francis Haile, Thomas
Brennan, James Culbertson, Wesley
Higgins, John Gibbons, John Gilger, ,
Nicholas McDarz. Jacob Omlor. John
Williams, Henry Carey aud J. R. Mc- ,
