GOT 10 YEARS
IN THE "PEN"
Pleading guilty to two charges of
highway robbery George Snyder, 19
years of age, was Monday sentenced
by Judge Evans to 10 years soparato
and solitary confinement at hard labor
in the eastern penitentiary.
From his own admission he is al
ready a hardened criminal, and has
been implicated in 'several other rob
beries and has done time in different
jails. It is only by luck that instead
of answering the crime of robbery, he j
was not on trial for his life. Indeed
it is almost impossible to conceive of
a more depraved young mau than his
owu confessions made him out to be.
He took the severe sentence in a
nonchalant manner aud when the court
had given him five years on the one
charge he started to walk awav think
ing it was all over. He was called ;
back aud given five more years on the
other charge and he received the ad- !
ditioual sentence unmoved.
One of the crimes for which Snyder
was sentenced was holding up Mrs.
Kate Beaver between Centralis aud
Aristes. Snyder covered.her with a
pistol aud made her give up a pocket
book containing about 50 ceuts. lie 1
failed to secure a box she was carry
ing in which was some S3O. The other
robbery took place iu Brush valley i
when Joseph Homelesky was held up
by two men,one of whom he recogniz- j
ed as Snyder, When he attempted to !
escape Snyder fired three shots at him,
which were prevented from killing 1
iiim bv the thickness of his coat.
DENIED DANVILLE ROBBERY.
The prisoner was questioned by
Judge Evans as to whether lie was im
plicated in the Danville robbery in
May. Snyder denied this although ho
knew all about it. He insisted that he
had always been led into the commis
sion of the crimes and laid the blame
on someone else.

OUR INDUSTRIES
IN OPERATION
It is worthy of note that all the in
! dustries of Dauvillo were in operation
J yesterday, which constitutes a better
showing than many of our neighbor
ing towns probably can boast of.
The Heading Iron works started up
in all departments except the skelp
mill. The puddle mills had been in
operation, but tin- two finishing mills
that resumed had been idle for nearly
a month previous. The Danville Roll
ing Mill,also operated by the Reading
Iron company, which started up about
a month ago, continues iu operatiou.
Upward of sis hundred men are em
ployed by the Reading Iron company
alone.
Among the other plants in operation
yesteiday were the Stove works, the
Dauvllle Foundry and Machine works,
the Structural Tubing works, and
| Brake Beam plant besides the silk
| mills, knitting mills and minor iu
j dustries.
It is difficult to determine just what
the outlook for the future is,but a rea
j sonable and optimistic view would
| seem to be that the worst cf the busi
j uess depression is over. Iu this cou
nection it is gratifying to note that in
| the darkest days of the stringency
; none of our industries fell much if any
! below half time.

MUST RELAI
THE SWITCH
j Charles P. Hancock yesterday stated
i that the Danville & Sunburv Transit
company had expected to run its car
on Mill street between Market street
i and the D. L, & W. crossing this
week, but that it had been disappoiut
: ed of receiving the services of expert
workmen and thus would be delayed
for a few days.
John M. Murphy, foreman of the
Shamokin Street Railway compauy,
who laid the track on the Danville &
Bloomsbure line, was called to this
city by Mr. Hancock a day or so ago
for tli© purpose of laying out the
switch curve at the corner of Mill and
Market streets. Mr. Murphy looked
over the ground and helped to make
some arrangements for beginning the
work, but ho was called back to Sha
mokin, where just at present his ser
vices <tau not be dispensed wit!).
The switch curve at the corner of
Mill and Market streets, while ap
parently about finished, is really only
a temporary affair and will have to be
wholly reconstructed before the cars
can be run over it. The switch does
not conuect with the Irog aud alto
gether the work required to be done is
of a very difficult nature, such as will
require the services of an expert track
man.
Before returning to Shamokin Mr.
Murphy made nrrangemeuts with Mr.
Haucock to come back to Danville in
a few days and replace the present
switch curve with special rails aud
make the proper connection.
Meanwhile council will be asked to
grant the street railway company per
mission to tear up tha paving where
the track is to be changed.

NEW TRIAL MAKES
FISHER HAPPY
I Henry Fisher is now the happiest
1 prisoner in the Northumberlaud coun
ty iail, due to the action of the sup
reme court in granting him a new
trial for the murder of Mrs. Sarali
Klinger aud Henry is expected to re
main good and not get auy of his ugly
spells until at least several weeks be
fore the September term of criminal
court when his case will again be
tried.
On Wednesday afternoon Fisher was
told of the supreme court granting
him another trial and he showed at
once by his manner how he appreciat
ed the fact that lie has been given an
other chance for his life. When the
information had been imparted to him
be declared his delight at receiving
the good news aud then went onto ex
plain that instead of trying him again
his wife should be arrested and brought
j to trial for committing the murder of
| Mrs. Kliuger.
| Ever since Stanny Marcavich was
| denied a new trial Fisher lias been
I deeply interested in the efforts being
made by the attorneys for Marcavich
iin trying to save him aud regularly
: every day since the appeal was made
| to the board of pardons be has eagerly
inquired whether or not anything bad
j been learned yet in the Marcavich
j case. No doubt this interest was tak
| on due to the fact that be himself was
standing in the shadow of the gallows
: and now that he will receive a new
I trial he will likely lose bis interest

Danville a Wet Town.
Danville is surely a "wet town"
when it comes to a consideration of
the soda fountain business Many peo
ple fail to realize in just what an ex
tensive sale this feature of drug aud
confectionery trade is carried ou, but
as a matter of fact thousands of sodas
aud sundaes arc sold daily in this city.
It seems almost iuoredible that auy
oue store might use in a single day
about forty gallons of ice cream, serv
;ed in sodas and sundaes. However,
some of the local stores that have a
largo soda trade dispose of in tho
| neighborhood of forty gallons of ice
i cream on a warm day and on record
, days the amount may go even higher.
| When it is understood that a thirty
gallon sale of icecream in a day would
mean upwaids of a thousand sodas or
sundaes, the great extent of the bosi
i UONS is comprehended.
Want Troopers Removed.
Burgess Philip Clemens of Berwick
! Saturday sent a request to Superin
: tendent Groome of the State constabu

that place. The burgess declares their
presence there is an "unwarranted in

that the troopers were at no time re
quired and that the local authorities
are competent to ileal with the strik
ing employes of the car shops.

D. ath of John Fryer.
John O. Fryar,a well known travel
ing salesman, who has beeu coming to
Danville for forty years, died in Phil
adelphia on Friday. Mr. Fryar was a
familiar figure about the Montour
house, where ho was known to tarry a
or -1 days at a time. His good nature
and his excellent character won him
many friends in Danville,all of whom
will be grieved to hear of bis demise.
Mr. Fryar, who handled dry goods,
1 began to come to Danville when a
mere boy. At the time of his death
lie was 68 years of age.
The deceased was unmarried. He
was a member of Lotus Couclave, No.
127, I. O. II , of Danville and there is
a pleasing little story connected with
his becoming a member of the order.
It was in 1886. A lodge was being
organized at the Montour bouse, when
the organizer discovered that he lack
ed just oue man of having the requir
ed number. Mr. Fryar's generosity is
reflected by the act that he consented
to help the thing along by filling the
vacant place. He retained the mem
bership in the local couclave until bis :
death.

A Laay Liver
Kay bo only a tired liver, or a starved
liver. It would be a stupid as well as
savage thing to beat a weary or starved
man because he lagged in his work. So
in treating the lagging, torpid liver it is
a great mistake to lash It with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver Is but an
indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whoso organs aro weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
| organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
' quickly your liver will become active.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvelous cures of "liver
trouble" by its wonderful control of the
organs of digestion and nutrition. It re
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
Increases the secretions of the blood-mak
ing glands, cleanses the system from pol
! sonous accumulations, and so relieves the
liver of tho burdens imposed upon it by
I the defection of other organs.

WORK RESUMED
ON PUBLIC PARK
The borough has resumed work on
the publio park, and the chairman of
the committee on public improvements
yesterday was authority for the state
ment that the work from now on will
be carried to completion with as lit
tle delay as possible.
Six men and a cart were employed
yesterday. Grass seed shonld have
been sown over a month ago, but the
work was held back until after the
formal transfer of> the tract from the
church trustees to the borough. Mean
while, under the heavy rains, the
ground has become packed aud the
grass and weeds have got a start
Before seed can be sown the entire
tract will have to be worked over. It
was a question at first whether a plow
or harrow could not be used to an ad
vantage. but such an idea was ab
uudoned finally,aud the men were put
to work spading the tract, digging it
aronud precisely as a garden bed. The
process is somewhat slow but the tract
is being put iu excellent condition,
the sod and weeds baiug turned under
aud the surface made as level and
smooth as a floor. The work began on
Monday and by last evening a large
area had been spaded.
The park where dug up lies a few
incites higher than tho side walk. To
retain the ground a neat border of sod
about a foot in width is being placed
all around the edge of tho park,which
a ids greatly to the effect. After the
ground lias been placed iu proper con
dition, which will occur duriug the
present week, the western half cf the
tract will be sown with grass seed.
Before this will be completed, how
ever, couucil will convene, when it
will be left for that body to take ac
tion on the completion of the eastern
half. There is still some grading to be
done in the latter part of the tract, iu
addition to which the old Petrikeu
cemetery is not yet wholly obliterat
ed. Iu the completion of tho eastern
half of the tract tli,ere may be some
delay, but it was explained yesterday
that there is little doubt but that it
will be finished duriug June aud July.
Attested and lined.
Three young men aud three young
women were arraigned before Justice
of the. Peace Oglesby yesterday after
noon to answer the charge of disord
erly conduct. About IS o'clock Satur
day night the police were called to
the lower end of West Market street
bv some of the residents who were
scandalized by loud cries aud unseem
ly conduct ou the river bauk just be
low the arc lot.
The police got the names of the
party and found a case of beer—the
hcttles empty—lying on tin- river
bauk Ou Mcndav arrests were made
and yesterday the hearing took place.
Each of the party settled by paying
tine and costs, $6.62
There are fifteen factories of chil
dren's uuderwear in Berks county,
