HAND INJURED
IN MEAT CDTTER
George Hoffman,employed at Joseph
Smith's meat market, this city, met
with a bad accident about 11 a. m.
Monday as the result of which his
left hand was badly mutilated and he
sustained the loss of two fingers.
Mr. Hoffman was cutting np meat
for sausage, using the customary meat
cutter operated by steam. Ho stopped
the machluery and had his hand about
tho knives when something occurred
to cause the cutter to start. In an in
stant the man's hand was under the
knives, which are so arranged that in
an instant they are capable of doing
fearful execution on whatever falls un
der them.
By the time Mr. Hoffman was able
to extricate his hand it was shocking
ly mutilated. The first and second
fingers up to the middle joints were
literally chopped to pieces. On the
ball of the thumb there was a long
gash, which laid the flesh open to the
bono. The endjofjthe thumb was also
very badly lacerated.
The injured man was hurried off to
the offioe of Dr. P. C. Newbaker. He
pluckily bore up under the painful in
jury and was able to walk all the way
to the doctor's oilice.although the loss
of blood was very great and he could
bo tracked by the red trail that he left
on the sidewalk.
The mau was in the doctor's hands
for nearly two hours. Dr. Curry was
called into assist in making the ampu
tation. The first and second fingers of
the left hand were amputated at the
middle joint,in addition to which the
several cuts and gashes on the hand
were sewed up.
The injured mau will be incapacit
ated for work for many weeks to come.

Mrs. Charles D. Whispell, living at

"My experience with Doau's Kidney
Pills justifies me in recommending
them as a remedy of merit. For souic
time prior to using them, I had pains
through the small of my back anil kid
neys, and at times, mv back was so
painful that I could hardly straightcu
after stooping. At night I was un
able to assume a comfortable position
and in the morning I would arise
scarcely able to get about. A dull
languid feeling sapped all my energy
and I felt miserable Doau's Kidney-
Pills were fiuallv leoommeuded to me
so highly that I procured a box at
Hunt's drug store, aud their use
promptly relieved the pain in my back.
After using the uonteuts of the box my
strength and energy returned, and the
backaches and other disorders of my
kidneys disappeared I give Doau's
Kidney Pills my highest endorse
ment."

SHERIFF, I'LL
DIE GAME
"Sheriff," I'll die game aud I'll
die iunoceut," were ttie words utter
ed by Stauuy Mareavich in his cell at
the Northumberland county prison at
Suubury, Saturday morning when
Sheriff Taby read the diath warrant
conveying to him the official informa
tiou that Governor Stewart had fixed
Tuesday. June 3th as the (lay for his
execution.
During all the time that Sheriff
Taby was readiug the death warrant
Mareavich paid close attention aud
never showed the least trace of ner
vousness. When the sheriff had con
cluded Mareavich answered as above
in a strong, loud and clear voice.
The death warrant was received by
Sheriff Taby on the early morning
mail Saturday and bore the signatures
of Governor Edwin M. Stuart aud
Secretary of the Commonwealth Rob
ert McAfee.
Stanuy's last hope now rests with
tiie board of pardons, aud if they do
not commute the death sentence to life
imprisonment, which is not consider
ed likely, ho will be taken to the jail
yard and hanged on the day fixed by
the governor.
Deafness Cannot be Cured.
by local applications, as they canuot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, aud that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfuct hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor
ed to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give Oue Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that canuot he cured by Hall's

WITNESSES
FAIL TO APPEAR
The coroner's jury consisting of
William Kiuihel, R. H. Bird, S. H.
Shultz, Lafayette Seohler, William
Welliver aud M. L. Kicliart, empanel
etl in conuectiou with the discovery of
the bojy in the river at Kipp'g ruu
one week ago, reassembled at the office
of Justice of the Peace E. W. Young
Saturday evening, but they were un
able to render a verdict owing to the
absence of important witnesses.
The jurors were sworn Sunday of
last week, after which they viewed
the body. The intention was to recon
vene Monday night following aud
render a verdict. Tiie identification
of the body as that of Abraru W. Jones
of Plymouth and tiie necessity of hav
ing some of the family of the deceased
appear as witnesses led to a postpone
ment of the inquest.
Acting Coroner E. W. Young called
up a justice of the peaca of Plymouth
who had assisted in the identification
and recovery of the body aud request
ed that members of the family appear
at South Danville Saturday evening
for the purpose of testifying. The
justice left the acting coroner under
the impression that witnesses would
be on hand.
As above stated, however, when tiie
jurors reassembled there was no one
present from Plymouth! Instead, how
evre, there was an affidavit from the
Rev. Mr. Griffith to the effect that lie
had identilied the body as that of Ab
ram W. Jones.
The latter evidence, of course, was
essential, but it was not all. It was
equally important that the jurors
should hear testimony relating to the
man's disappearance from bin home so
that they might determine whether it
was a case of suicide or whether there
was room for suspicion of foul play.
Under the eircumstauces the jurors
decided not to proceed with the case,
Saturday night, but to adjourn tiie in
quest until some subsequent date,
when, if possible, tiie wife or son of
the deceased, if not both, should be
present.
To procure their attendance when
wanted tiie acting coroner will sub
poena the witnesses needed indue aud
legal form.
If the facts relating to the man's
disappearance, tiie leaving of a note
behind, etc., as related by the Rev.
Mr. Griffith and printed in the News,
be sworn to by members of the family,
eye witnesses of events, the jury wonld
probably have no difficulty of reach
ing a verdict of death by suicide. No
date for the inquest was fixed Satur
day night.
It is a pity to see a person neglect
indications of kidney or bladder trou
ble that may result inßright's disease
when Foley's Kidney Remedy will
correct irregularities and strengthen
these organs. Take Foley's Kidney

James J. Whipple's dwelling on Rail-

hearing at the jail Monday after
noon. Iu defaalt of hail lie was com
mitted to jail to await the action of
the grand jury.
The hearing was conducted by Just
ice of the Peace W. V. Oglesby, who
temporarily removed his office to the
county prison, occupying the sheriff's
office. The defendant pleaded not
guilty.
Iu addition to Jame9 J. Whipple,
two boys, Morris Blee and Andrew
Burke, were heard as witnesses. The
boys swore that on Thursday, the date
of the robhory, they saw Hullihen aud
another man with a gold and a silver
watch iu their possession, which were
among the articles stolen from Whip
ple's dwelling.
The justice fixed bail at five hun
dred dollars,which the defendant fail
ed to procure. He was accordingly

SELLING WHEAT
AT ONE DOLLAR
The farmers ou the Bouth Bide are
benefiting from the advauoe in wheat
and are practically cleaning ont their
granaries at one dollar per bushel.
Thomas Elmes and H. E. Bohner,
the latter proprietor of the mill at
Roaring Creek, are buying all the
wheat that can be obtained in Rush,
and adjoining townships. They are
shipping from South Danville, Roar
ing oreek and Paxinos. Ou Saturday
they finished loading the second car at
South Danville.
The sceue presented about the sta
tion during the two days was quite a
remarkable one. At times there were
as many as sixteen wagons in a group
waiting for au opportunity to unload.
As early as t> o'clock Saturday morn
ing six loaded wagons were lined up
near the car awaiting the arrival of
the man iu charge. All of which in
dicates that the farmers appreciate the
opportunity to get rid of their wheat
in such unlimited quantities at one
dollar per bushel.
By Saturday night Messrs. Elmes
and Bohner had loaded 3000 bushelß of
wheat at South Danville. Many of the
farmers earlier in the season sold por
tions of their last year's crop, but tho
two dealers state that there is still a
great deal of whoat stored up in Rush
township, as well as elsewhere, the j
most of which they iiave purchased.
During the present week they expect
to ship six car loads additional.

THE SUPREME
COORT OPINION
Followiug 1b the supreme court's
opinion in full relating to its recent
decision reversing the lower court's
decree that granted the Danville and
Bloomsbnrg Street Railway Co., the
right to cross the D. L. & \V. track on
Mill street at grade :
The Delaware, Lackawanna & West
ern Railroad Co. vs. The Danville &
Bloomsburg Street Railway Co. Jan
uary Term, 1908, No. 85. Appeal'from
the court of oommou pleas of Mon
tour county. Filed May 4, 1908.
Fell, J.
The bill in this case was for an in
junction to restrain the defendant, an
electric passenger railway company,
from crossing at grade the tracks of
the defendant's road in the borough of
Danville.
The proposed crossing was upon the
main street of the borough,whioli was
thirty-six feet in width between the
curb lines and closely built up on both
sides. At tiiis place 14 regular trains
cross the street daily and a full view I
of the plaintiff's tracks can not be had \
in either direction ,->at a point more
than a few feet from them. An order j
dissolving a preliminary injunction [
was reversed and the injunction rein
stated to maintain the status quo until
final iiearing. On final hearing on the
same testimony the injunction was I
dissolved and a grado crossing allow
ed subject to regulations imposed by
the court.
The conclusion reached by the court
that it is not reasonably practicable
to avoid a grade crossing is not found
ed on ft finding that it is impractic
able to construct an overhead crossing I
at this place and to operate the de- ,
fondant's curs upon it but upon the j
findings that tiie preponderance of the
evidence establishes that an overhead |
crossing on Mill street would be more
dangerous to life and limb to operate
than the present grade crossing and !
that "The crossing is a t so dangerous
as to wurrant equitable interference by j
the court."
In reaching this conclusion the i
wrong test was applied. The question
is not as to the comparative dangers \
of an overhead and a grade crossing, J
nor as to the extent of the danger of
the latler, but whether it was reason
ably practicable to avoid a crossing at
grade The clear and explicit) mandate
of the act of June 19, 1871, is that "If.
in the judfauent of the court.it is rea
sonably practicable to avoid the grade
crossing they shall by their process
avoid a orosaing at grade. " The policy
of the state as here declared has been
given the fullest effect in an u-brokeu
line of cases extending from Railroad
vs. Railroad, 77 Pa. 173, the first case
that arose under the act, to Railroad
vs. Bogert ,'WjPa. 589. The e::teut to
which the risk may be reduce ' by the
exercise of care, and the cost of con
structing an overhead crossing,are not
elements in determining the question ;
Traction Co. vs Canal Co. 1880 Pa.
(U0; Railroad Co. vs. Railway Co. 188
Pa. 84. The act is in effect a mandate
to the court:; to prohibit grade cross
ings unless it is impracticable to avoid
them and unless crossing is an uupera
tive necessity ; Traction Co. vs. Rail
road 188 Pa 105. What is reasonably
practicable is determined largely by
what is physically practicable; Rail
road Co. vs. Railway Co. 19; Pa. ;>6o.
In railroad Co. vs.Lawraucecounty,
198 Pa. where the cases of the subject
are cousid tred it was said by she pres
ent Chief Justice: "It uiubS, there
fore, be accepted as the settled policy
of the Staie as administered by this
court, that wherever the sub ject comes
withiu its jurisdiction and coutrol.no
grade crossing of a railroad over an
other railroad or a common highway,
will be permitted except iu case of
manifest; and unavoidable necessity."
Iu the latter case of 13. & O. Railroad
Co. vs. Butler Railway 3>. 207 Pa.
406, our brother Mestrezat said "Iu
all cases of proposed grade crossing,
therefore, the only question is wheth
er it is reasonably practicable to avoid
it and, if so, the statute is mandatory
to prerent it. In determining this
question the main purpose of the stat
ute, to protect life and property, is not
to be ignored or disregarded. Experi
ence teaches with absolute certainty
that » grade crossing is unsafe and
tluit its existence is a standing menace
to human life This fast' should be
kept constantly in mind in adjudicat
ing thb rights of railway companies
iu proceedings under the act of 1871".
The decree is reversed at the cost of
the appellee and it is directed that an
injunction issue restraining the de
fendant, its officers, agents and em
ployes from constructing a crossing at
! grade of the plaintiff's tracks on Mill
street iu the borough of Danville,

THE I. M. C.
LACKS FUNDS
At a recent meeting of the board of
directors of the local V. M. 0. A. the
financial condition of the Association
was thoroughly disouased. The inject
ors found that they were being handi
capped in all phases of the work by
the lack of funds.
They found, among othor things,
that the general secretary, who should
be devoting a good share of his time
to spiritual work, under the existing
conditions, is compelled to almost en
tirely confine his attention to mouey
matters, in order to keep the income
of the Association from falling below
the actual running expenses. Recent
ly, in order to meet expenses,the board
was put to the necessity of borrowing.
To relieve the stringency the board
is now perfecting plans for a thorough
canvass of the town Jfor memberships
and funds. The Y. M. O. A. is a gift
to Danville from one of the most pub
lic spirited men who ever lived in this
town, and the citizens of the commun
ity which the Association is calculat
ed to benefit should not allow a few
dollars to retard its usefulness.
During the canvass about to be made
the board of directors hope the pgople
w.ill respond and assist in placing the
Association on a sound financial basis,
thus permitting the officials to devote
more of their time to religious work.
Workman's Eye Is Extracted.
The eye of Alexander Flakovicz, of
this city, was extracted on Saturday
morning. The man, it will be recall

the Reading Iron works Thursday
morning by being struck in the eye by !
a piece of steel while working at the
shears.
Although the eye was wholly dc- !
stroyed Flakovicz at first refused to
have it extracted. A day or so later,
when he .earned that he was iu daiig- ;
er of losing his remaining eye through
sympathetic inflammation, he decided
to submit So an operation.

clerical and lay delegates.
After last evening's session, from

often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's

pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
an<l scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled togo often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild anil
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
