GGUHCIL ACCEPTS JEW P« Borough Solicitor E. S. Gearhart j appeared before council to explain j gome matters pertaining to the acquir- i ins of a title to the new park on Bloom street. He spoke very highly of the liberality and the magnanimity of the board of trustees of the Grove Presby terian chnrch. He urged that as soou j as the deed is passed the committee j proceed to complete the park, at least I that portion of it where the grading is i not vet completed. On the score of finances, lie declared they need give no concern, a 9 lie is in possession of information vhioh leaves 110 doubt that the mo"',. ..ill be forthcoming when needed. The following resolution relating to the affair was offered by Mr. Everhart and unanimously adopted by council: Whereas the Mahoning Presbyter ian, English, Congregation North has offered and agreed to donate and con- : vey a certain lot of land in tho Fourth ward formerly known as the Presby terian cemetery and containing one and eight-tentiis acres of land for a public park; therefore be it Resolved, That the borough council by proper deed of conveyance at once accept the said donation and convey- j ance of the said lot of land for the purpose aforesaid upon such terms and i conditions as may be fully agreed up on by the trustees of the Mahoning Presbyterian, English, Congregation North and the town council of the said borough of Danville. On motion it was decided that a joint meeting of the trustees and the borough council be held in council ■ chamber, Monday night, for the pur pose of executing the deed. Mr. Pursel reported that a crossing is needed at the property of Webster Foust, on West Market street. The matter was referred to the committee - on streets and bridges.

This matter also was referred to the committee on streets and bridges. Oa motion of Mr Pursel it was ord ered that an iron pipe bo sunk in an alley on Cherry street. The borough is considering the pur chase of a street sweeper. C. E. Chap pelear, of the Williams C. S. Co., agents of the Austin-Western Co., Ltd., appeared before council in the interest of a street sweeper, which, it was said, would do the work very sat isfactorily.

MAY 21, 1903 ITU CASE CUES TO LEU A hearing in connection with the rule granted by Judge Evans on the 9th iust. to show cause why a change of venue should not be ordered in the case of Commonwealth vs. Peter Diet rich was held at the courthouse Mon- j day. The examination of witnesses took place during the forenoon. The addresses by the attorneys occupied the court between 1 :30and 2 :4o o'clock The application for a change of venue created a good deal of interest aud there was quite a body of spectat ors in the court room. Court convened at 10 o'clock aud the taking of testi mony began immediately. His honor Judge Evans aud Associates Blee and Welliver were on the bench. Peter Dietrich was in the court.'rooni and sat beside his attorneys, Thomas C. Welsh and Hon. Grant Herring. Hon. H. M. Hinckley was associated , with the district attorney and took an active part. The witnesses subpoenaed by the de fendant were called *lrst. They were examined by Mr. Herring, Mr. Hinck ley coi. "acting the . -oss-examination. EXAMINATION OF WITNESSES. Wa. er O. Greene was the first wit ness ci lled. He had heard the matter of Peter Hetrich's trial very extensively discussed. He does not believe that the defendant can obtain a fair trial in Montour county. He believes there exists a prejudice in the minds of the people against him. Nine or ten out of a dozen that have discussed the mat ter in his hearing have expressed themselves against the defendant. He himself had not heard the testimony but he had formed an opinion from reading the account of the trials in the Morning News. William Fallon was the next wit- ! ness He had heard mauy men express themselves as to the guilt or innocence of the defendant. A large proportion of these people were from the coun try. Their prejudice was clearly re vealed by their severe and intemper ate language used in expressing them selves as to what ought to be done with the defendant. Clearly the pub lic feeling is against Dietrich and the witness feels sure that he can not re cit ve a fair tripl in Montour county. Oft. e remarks heard many more were against him than were in his favor. Joseph Lechner, was sworn. He had heard the matter discussed by hundreds of persons ever since the nnfortuuate episode that occurred when the defend ant was out on bail. After that occur red, the witness said,even some of his friends "got sore'' on him and there has been a deep feeling against him. This prejudice, he believes, is so deep that it will be impossible for the de fendant to obtain a fair and impartial jury. M. H. Schram was called. He had heard Dietrich's trial discussed by people living in the country and in the town. The opinions expressed were generally unfavorable to the defend ant. This adverse sentiment, he explain ed.in his opinion might operate against securing an impartial jury rather than to prevent a fair trial if a jury were obtained. F. M. Gotwalds of the Morning News Staff, was called to the stand. His testimony related chiefly as to the scope of the reports printed during the former trials and the extern to which the court proceedings were made pub lic. Fred Mayan was called. He had heard several hundred persons talk on the subject of Dietrich's trial and they nearly all seemed against him. He does think ho could obtain a fair trial in this county. Francis Harttuan, a teamster was next called. in his work about town he has heard the matter freely discus sed and the sentiment, he said, seems to be almost wholly against Dietrich. He docs not think that he could se cure a fair trial in Montour county. John Doster was sworn. He has not heard the matter very generally dis cussed, but the sentiment seems gener ally against the defendaut. Owing to the small size of the county the wit ness thinks the prejudice against the defendaut might operate aganist a fair and impartial trial. Andrew Schatz was sworn. The sentiment of the people, he said, is against Dietrich. Owing to this pub lic prejudice, he believes it would be difficult to secure a jury for Dietrich. Charles Hilcher, a paper hanger, who gets about town a great deal, testified that lie hears a great, deal of unfavorable comment ou Dietrich's case, which convinces him that there is a deep-seated prejudice against the defendant. Andrew Smith,a butcher, who drives through the country a couple of times a week, and is therefore acquainted with the views of the country people, testified that the prejudice against Dietrioh among the farmers is deep seated and general. He does not be | lieve that it would be possible for him Continued on 4th Page. mil lis inn Professor Elton D. Walker of State 1 college, who visited this city Fri day as the representative of Health Commissioner Dr. Dixon,remained iu Dauville during the greater part of the 1 day Saturday, carrying to completion ! the work of investigating conditions 1 that relate to sewage. The inspection was most thorough, while iu its scope it embraced every department of the town's activities. Not a single detail escaped the in : spector. Ou Saturday forenoon iu com pany with Superintendent of Sewers P. J. Keefer, Street Commissioner E. S. Miller aud Councilman James P. Connolley he took in the slaughter i houses, breweries, the Reading Iron works, the store works, the silk mills, knitting mill aud in fact every sort of industry as well as the school houses. Before leaving. Professor Walker dropped a remark, which seemed to explain the purpose of his visit to I Dauville He gave the committee dis tinctly to understand that the day was near at hand when every municipality in the State would be obliged to re move its sewers from the rivers and streams and dispose of its sewage by some other means. This order may not be issued for several years, it is just as likely, iiowever, he said, to come within a year. The above explanation was hardly required in the premises, as the nian uer of his inspection and the nature of his inquiries at every industrial plant ■ plainly showed that the expert was there to determine just how great a factor the establishment is in river pollution. Not only did he determine and record the dimensions and the location of the sewer used, but also the water supply,the number of hands | employed aud the source of and the amount of water used. Mahoning creek did not escape his attention. In inspectng the Reading Iron works lie directed his investiga tion along a line that would show whether or not the plaut is a factor in | polluting the creek. Ou the north side of West Mahoning street the expert ! climbed down over the bank at the rear of the dwellings that, sewer di rectly into Mahoning creek to deter mine to what extent they pollute the stream. During his visit Professor Walker visited Hunter's park and the hospit al for the insane. At each of these places his inspection was just as thorough as iu the borough. At the hospital he even visited the piggery. Before leaving the institution he took carelul note of the manner in which the stream flowing down at the west of the grounds pollutes the bed of the old canal. Professor Walker impressed the committee aud all others with whom he was brought in contact as a person thoroughly equipped with expert knowledge. While at all times courte ous he was not disposed to talk very much about the result of his inspec tion. Whether what he saw impress ed him favorably or otherwise he in dulged in no comment, but merely made a note of conditions and passed ou. SCARLET'S HAT CAUSED SENSATION When court adjourned e&rly Friday afternoon most of the participants,de fendants and counsel for both sides, went over to the island to witness the game between Harrisburg and Lan caster. With the group was .Tames Scarlet, counsel iu chief for the Com : mon wealth. Mr. Scarlet wore his familiar togs, including the plug lint. As he passed along the left field bhachers came cries of: j "Pipe the lid." "Git onto de hat." And numerous others of like quality. The genial inquisitor from Dauville wasn't in the least feazed by t'.iese comments, nor was he a bit flustered by the smiles from the ladies in the : grand stand as he entered a box with Senator Fox and District Attorney Weiss.—Harrisburg Patriot. QUALIFIED FOR TWENTY-TWO YEARS There were sixty-seven officers and enlisted men iu the National Guard of Pennsylvania when the rifle practice j season closed last fall who had qualifi ed as marksmen for twenty or more | years. Colonel Ezra Ripple, of the j governor's staff, holds the record with | thirty years of Twenty-seven of the sixty are from j the Third brigade and nine are from | the Twelfth regiment. The only mem i ber from Danville with a twenty year record is Major Charles P. Gearliart, who has qualified for twenty-two con secutive'years. Hellertown, Northampton connty, has an epidemic of measles, fifty pup ils of one school being afflicted. PI mui MOB Pursuant to action taken at the last regular session of council a joint meet ing of councilmen and the trustees of the Mahoning Presbyterian congrega tion, north,was held in council cham ber pjonday for the purpose of form- ! ally transferring the tract, formerly the old burial ground ou Bloom street, to the borough of Dauville to be used by the latter as a public park. The trustees were present as fol lows: W. L. McClure, Alex Foster, T W. Bartholomew, Thomas J. Rogers, Jauies D. Magill and James T. Mag ill. The borough council was repre sented by the following: Messrs. Schatz, Everhart, Cleaver, Russell, Moyer, Marshall, Angle, Pursel and Connolley. Burgess \V. J. Rogers was also present. The borough solicitor has perform ed a prodigious amount of work in connection with the abandonment of the old cemetery. The deed, which he read before the joint meeting last night contained 11,500 words, in addi tion to which lie had a wearisome amonnt of formality and detail to at tend to iu the formal transfer of the tract. After the instrument had received all the signatures required, on motion of Mr. Everhart it was ordered that "the deed for the public park be duly recorded in the office for the record ing of deeds in and for Montour coun ty and that the secretary be instruct ed to take the same to the said office for such purpose at once." A WORKHAN'S BAD ACCIDENT William Longenberger, a carpenter employed on the farm of Hon. R S. Ammerman,near Rushtown, met witti a very bad and singular accident Mon day afternoon. Mr. Ammerman is building a sum mer fcitcheu. Mr. Longenberger who was standing ou one of the joists of the new building was iu the act of stepping around a fellow workman, when he lost his balance aud fell into the lower story, where another car penter was working. The man below was driving nails and it happened that at the very mo ment that Mr. Longenberger fell he was raising his hatchet to strike a blow. Mr. Longenberger falling with terrible momentum met the upward stroke of the keen edged hatchet, which sank into his face across the bridge of the nose,completely severing the bony portion of that organ and inflicting a deep gash ou each cheek alongside tfie nose. A horse was hitched up and Mr. Longenberger was brought over to town immediately. The loss of blood was little less than appalling but the injured man very pluckily bore up under the ordeal of the long drive. He was taken to the office of Dr. Shultz. where a number of stitches were inserted in his face reuniting the severed parts. At a later hour the man was removed to his home on Nas sau street. He will be incapacitated for work for a long time. CHARLES CHALFANT VISITS DANVILLE Charles Chalt'aut, Esq.. of South Dauville, came over to this ity Tu esday afternoon and spent a couple of hours at the Montour house, where lie met a number of his friends. Mr. Chalfant. notwithstanding his disabled condition, resulting from ill ness. is looking well and he seemed to eujoy his visit very much. Yesterday's visit was the lirst he made to Danville since last summer Mr. Chalfant is a memb?r of the Montour county bar, in addition to which he enjoys the distinction of be ing a past grand master of the order of Odd Fellows. DEATH CAUSED BY CARBUNCLES Frauk Herbert Ebner, a former resi dent of Riverside, died at Wolverton at 4 o'clock Tuesday morning after a brief illness of blood poisoning caused by carbuncles. The deceased was thirty-five years of age and is survived by his wife and two children. He was employed as trackman on the Pennsylvania rail road. The funeral will take Jplace Thurs day at 10 a. m. Interment at Mt. Ver non cemetery. In five years the attendance at the Sunday school connected with'Yalley Forge Memorial chapel, at Valley Forge, Chester connty, -has grown from two women, a boy'and a baby, to 152. under the able direction of Rev. W. Herbert Burk, its founder. LEAK UNDER « PK The water pipe has sprung a leak under the paving on Mill street, which may lead to considerable expense and necessitate tearing up the brickwork over a large area. Under any circumstances a leak un derneath the paving is a rather serious affair, as below the brick lies a heavy course of concrete, while the brick themselves are grouted. The result is that the whole mass—the concrete and the grouted brick—ls as solid as a rock and can only be removed to repair a leak by breaking it up with a sledge or using a drill. In the present case the difficulty is increased owing to the fact that the leak can not be located. Tuesday morning the discovery was made that the pipe somewhere under the paving had sprung a leak and that the water was running into the deep sewer on the west side of Mill street about half a square south of the D. L. & W. crossing. The trick was to locate the leak. Superintendent P. J. Keefer got on the iob and by testing the hydrants along the street discovered that the break occurred in the water pipe com municating with J. P. Tooley's est ablishment. This information brought it down on narrower compass but it only half solved the problem, as there was still no telling whereabouts under some seventy-five square yards of solid pav ing the leak might lie. Superintendent Keefer Tuesday be gan tearing up the pavement. No one can tell where the work will stop. They will of course continue to dig until the right spot is reached. Mean while a large section of fine paving may be spoiled. MEMORIAL SERMON NEXT SUNDAY Memorial day is rapidly approach ing and the members of Goodrich Post, No. 2 2,(Jr. A. R., are quite busy per fecting arrangements for the event On Sunday next at 10 ::50 a. m.the Rev. Lloyd W. Walter will preach the Memorial sermon to Goodrich post in Pine Street Lutheran church. The Rev. John Conley Grimes will deliver the memorial day address in Odd Pel low's cemetery during the afternoon of the 80th. Por flowers the veterans will look to the general public, among whom in t he past many generous and Bympathe trc friends have been found, so that with what flowers the members of the pest could procure themselves there was always sufficient on hand by Mem orial day to decorate all the graves. There are many details yet to he ar ranged. To help the veterans to carry out the observance of Memorial day in fitting and impressive manner the county commissioners have donated the sum of fifty dollars to Goodrich post. By the Act of March 21, 1907, the county commissioners art- anthorized to appropriate annually a sufficient sum of money to each post of the G. A. R. in their respective counties to aid in defraying the expeusesof Mem orial day. The borough councils are authorised in the same way to aid the G. A. R. posts. ODD FELLOWS PLAN TO RAISE DEB I PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May '.• O. The plans of Grand Master Hart, of Harrisburg, in regard to the temple of the order in this city, and the Boyertown relief fund distribution were the principal questions discussed at today's session of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania Odd Pellows in con vention here. The indebtedness on the temple amounts to more than .$1,000,000, which includes arrearages in taxes and ground rent of $279,040. To pay this, it is proposed to increase the per cap ita tax of $1.04 annually, which would yield .$140,000 a year. To pay off the indebtedness will take eight years, according to Mr. Hart's estimate. The James D. Thompson be quest of §120,000 for the construction of a new home for orphans will soon be available, and the disposition of this money also .-ame up for considera tion today. Monday Evening. Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Snyder pleas antly entertained a number of young people at their houie on Front street, on Monday evening in honor of the 10th birthday of their son Harry. Games were played and refreshments were served. Those present were: Isabel Love. Florence Lunger, Marie Long, Martina Anderson,Bertha Hart man, Nellie Temple, Ethel Snyder, Edward Long. Roy Long.

ESTABLISHED IN 1855 DO FOB PUBLIC IK The "deed for.tlie public park of Dauville" now|being recorded at the courthouse is ail interesting object of study. It is a voluminous instrument containing 11,500 wordf. The indenture, the preliminary not ices along with the decrees of court, resolutions, &c,,are important matters of record, which as late as last summer were absorbing themes of conversation in Dauville'and vicinity. A copy of the agreements and releases is follow ed by the.final decree of the court au thorizing, empowering and directing the trustees of the Mahoning Presby terian, English Congregation north to execute and deliver to the borough of Danville a deed of conveyance. An interesting feature of the deed is the "abstract of title", which goes back to the time of the Penns and fills several typewritten pages. The portion of the deed, however, that will most;deeply interest the citi zens of Danville is the section under the head of "Conditions and Restrict ions." Every citizen of the borough will applaud the wise forethought dis played in the imposing of conditions and restrictions that will make impos sible abuses that otherwise would have been pretty sure to creep in In pro cess of time. There are ten sections relating to conditions and restrictions. Briefly and in effect they are as fol lows: That the tract shall be used for no other purpose than a public park or municipal recreation ground. That no portion of the lot shall be sold nor leased by the borough. That no portion of the lot shall ever be traversed by any municipal street nor alley. That the borough of Danville and its municipal successors shall not and will not permit vinous, spiritous.malt brewed, or other liquors or drinks to be sold and dispensed on or about the said lot of land; nor will it and they permit the same to be sold in the vicinity thereof so far as it lies with in its and their utmost power and en deavors to legally prevent the same. That the said party of the orst part ( The trustees of the Mahoning English Congregation north) hereby expresses the hope that no court or other au thority legally authorized to grant liquor licenses will at any time here after grant any person or persons, company or firm or corporation any license or licenses to sell vinous, spir itous, malt, brewed or any other kind of liquors at any place or places with in the distance of two squares of the above described lot of land. That the borough of Danville will not permit any person or persons firm or corporation to drain auy surface water or sewage, or to deposit ashes or other foreign substances on the above described lot of laud. That the borough will not permit nor tolerate on the Faid lot of land anything that might partake of the nature uf a public nuisance. That the borough will not permit the tract to be used for unlawful as semblages nor to be frequented by "undesirable citizens," or other ob jectionable characters as menaces to the public peace and opposed to the moral sentiment of the community. That the borough at its own proper cost will construct and maintain a modern street crossing, at least ten feet in width, to lead from the main southern entrance across Bloom street, there to connect with the pavement. That the borough will keep the said lot of land under constant and strict police surveillance. That upon the",wilful and persistent violation of auy of the foiegoing con ditions and restrictions on the part cf the borough of Danville or its muni cipal successors the title to the said lot of land with appurtenance shall ab solutely and forever revert to and re vest in the said party of the first part, its successors and assigns. TYPHOID FEVER IS PREVALENT Typhoid fever seems to be prevalent in some parts of town. Typhoid had praotically disappeared from Danville and the outbreak, even though slight, is much to be regretted. | The numerous cases reported dur ing several weeks past have been the cause of a good of di al comment. To what extent the disease prevails it will probably be difficult to determine un til the last of the month, when the local registrar makes his report to the bureau of vital statistics. There seems little doubt, however, that t{iere area dozen or fifteen cases all told. A leading physician last evening volunteered the information that he has six cases of typhoid fever in addi tion to one or more that he believes will develop the disease. He regards the situation with some concern, giv ing it as his opinon that the outbreak ' has been caused by the river water, whioh of late'has presented an appear ance anything but reassuring.
