Barnick, Superintendent BOTH AIDED IN KILLING GOBBLER What will undoubtedly prove to be one of the greatest murder trials iu the history of Northumberland county will be that of "Pimple Face" Joe Kecheskie at the coming term of criui inal court at Sunbury, when lie will be charged with complicity in the murder of Cobbler Yessakmis, the aged Springfield victim, for which crime Stanney Marcavich has already beeu sentenced to hang. The coufession of Stanuy Marcavich, who was convicted of the crime, will play an important part iu the trial. Marcavich has confessed that both he and "Pimple Face" Joe were present at the murder. Stauuy conressed that he struck the cobbler with a club,fell ing him to the ground aud that Joe, then seeing the cobbler moving, seized a hatchet aud struck the blow which resulted in the death of the cobbler. The two men then divided the money found iu the cobbler's Bhop aud ran away. Joe hurried iu the directiou of the Corbin colliery and held up a fellow countryman committing this second crime in an endeavor to prove an alibi. It developed at the hearing last week that while running away from the scene of the murder Joe met Stanuy Cotaska, a Shamokin saloonkeeper, who was called as a witness. Coatska testified that on the day of the murder he saw a crowd of people ruuning iu the directiou of the shoemaker's shop and met "Pimple Face" Joe walkiug in the opposite directiou. He said to Joe,"What's the matter down there'.'" and Joe replied, "the shoemaker is killed, but I don't know how." It will be remembered that at the Mar cavich trial Joe testified that ho had not been near the shoemaker's shop and did not know anything about the murder of Yessaionius. The Northumberland county officials Saturday endeavored to get Stanuy Marcavich to repeat his former con fession bat he stated that lie would not leave his cell to testify in the case. He says he is ready to hang. Joe was recommitted to staud ttial or murder. CASE AFTER CASE. Plenty Here Like This in Danville Scores of Dtuville people can tell you about Doau's Kidney Pills.

The kindlier one feelß towards one's fellows the happier one is SUSPECT WAS RELEASED Saturday morning when our citizens awoke and found that a man had been arrested and was in jail awaiting id entification as an accomplice in the hold up near Mausdale the excitement which had begun to subside a little, was soon as intense as it was the even ing before. At an early iionr as practicable Thomas Malady, the victim of the hold up,was taken to the jail,but he failed to identify the prisoner as one of the highwaymen. The fellow accoringly was released. The arrest of the suspect was not accomplished witiiout a great deal of hard work that brought into fall ex ercise the detective ability of the pol ice force of Danville and of Klooms burg. About 11 o'clock Friday night our officers were notified by the telephone operator in the Rupert tower that three men, who bore a resemblance to the highwaymen got off a south bound P. & K. traiu at that point and took to the bushes. The conduct of the men seemed suspicious. Chief Miucemoyer lost no time mak ing arrangements for a trip to Rupert. Learning, however, that inside of an hour a train would pass the Rupert, tower, which the suspects might jump and thereby elude pursuit, he tele phoned to Chief of Police Baum, of Bloomsburg, requesting him to hurry to Rupert and arrest the men should they attempt to get away before the Danville officers arrived. It was shortly after 11 o'clock when , OfliciTs Mincetnoyer and Voris, ac companied by Sheriff Williams and District Attorney Gearhart, in a two seated carriage set out for Rupert. Meanwhile, the intense excitement that existed in Danville was trans ferred to Bloomsburg. Oiiief Baum after arming himself with a shot gun started out to summon citizens to as sist in running down the highway men. The first person summoned was Edward Shaffer,proprietor of the pea nut outfit on Market square. Two others, Charles VanLiew and Frauk Dietrick, were in succession called out and pressed into service. In a two seated spring wagon the party of four drove over to East Bloomsburg, and cautiously made its way toward a point opposite Rupert, where at last accounts the suspects had been in hiding. At a respectful distance betiind the wagon followed a troop of excited people, who had craw led out of bed on hearing of the hold up and were anxoius to see the arrests. At the very moment that Chief Baum and his party approached their destination a freight pulled over the bridge from Rupert and the three sus pects were seen making their way to ward the train. Chief Baum and his party moved on the Heeing trio. All escaped, however, but one, who was caught by Edward Schaffer, as he was in the act of jumping the train A message was sent toCatawissa re questing that the train be stopped there and an effort be made to capture the suspects. Meanwhile the arrested man, held securely by a pair of nip pers, was taken over the bridge toward Rupert, where the party was met by the Danville officers who took the pri soner in eliarge. Indue time the train readied Catawissa, where it was search ed by the officers, but the suspects were not on board, i ;it was nfter 4 o'clock Saturday morn | iug when our officers arrived iu Dan ville with their prisouer. Sheriff Wil | liams remained in Bloomsburg until j Saturday prosecuting a search for the highwaymen at that place. The prisouer was committed to jail, I where, as above stated, an unsuccess i ful attempt was made to identify him | later. He gave hid name as Frank Lowe and said lie lives iu Williams | port. He is only 18 years of age. He said his companions are still younger, I oue of them being a boy iD knee I breeches. He declared they were all under the impression that they were ] being pursued solely because they were stealing rides.

BID EXCEEDED APPROPRIATION It begins to look as though there might be unexpected delay before the work on the remodeling of the male infirmary at the hospital for the in sane geta under way. Thursday was the date set for opening the bids for raising and extending the building. But one proposal was received, how ever, and that was rejected as too high. The plans and specifications,provide for raising the male infirmary eight feet, adding another story. The re modeling of course carries with it an extension of plumbing and of the lighting and the heating systems. For "raising and extending" the male infirmary tiie legislature approp riated the sum of |25,000, which of course, is all the money available for the improvement. The single bid re ceived, however, which was froui Mosier and Summers, agreed to re model the building as per plans ami specifications for the sum of 840,000. This exceeded the amount appropriat ) ed for the work by fifteen thousaud dollars. The only course open was to reject! the proposal and this was precisely what was done The board then decided to readver tise for bids, setting Thursday, Octo ber Ist as the day when they will be I opened. It was decided that the plans and specifications 011 which the last | 1 bids were invited be modified iu some j j particulars. The idea is not to produce a plainer, a less convenient or durable building, but merely to urrauge the I contract in BUCII a way that it may l appeal to builders and result in bring ; iug out a larger number of proposals. It is a little too early to assume that i t he plans and specifications as approv jed by the Governor call for a build j ing that can not be built for the sum ! of money appropriated. When the pro | posals are again invited other bidders'; | may respond, whose figures will be within the proper bounds. It would be unfortunate, indeed, if it should develop that the remodeling of the male infirmary as planned call not j be carried out for the money avail-, able, in which case the hospital would [ be deprived of an improvement, the need of which for years has handicap-' ped the institution in its care andj treatment of one class of the insane.

FIRE DESTROYED WOOLEN MILL 1 Presumably set by sparks from a | Susquehanna,Bloomsburg and Berwick j locomotive, fire on Monday afternoon j destroyed the Sands woolen mill at Mordansville, Columbia county,parti : ally consumed the Sands hotel and damaged several other buildings. The fire probably would have destroyed | the village had it not been for the j Millville Fire company, which was hurried to the helpless town. A 111am | moth spruce tree proved an effective 1 shelter for the hotel building and held | the fire back. The home of Emauue Summers was somewhat damaged. The woolen mill was owned by ; Charles Sands. It had not been in op- I oration for a year or more. The loss ! will reach #15,000, it is said. The fire, during the height of the i mill's burning, was terrific. Brands were carried iuto the woods, and in a half hour a fierce fire'was raging there. The men, after the tire had been ex tinguished in the village,turned their attention to the woods fire.

GEARHART AK APPRECIATION To the Montonr American : Sitting under a master teacher long ago, a young woman read a]oriticlam of Shakespeare's tragedy of Lear. She complained of the great poet because of what seemed to be the untimely and causeless deatli of Cordelia the gent lest, the sweetest, the most divine of all of Shakespeare's women. It seem ed to her that it was cruel to have Oordelia die. The master teacher reminded his pupil that oneof our own poets has said, that the quick lightn ing and the pestilence have never been known to make nice discriminations, when let slip from God's right hand. It is even so. but we fancy there were few people in Danville, who, when they heard of Mrs J. B. Gear hart's death did not question destiny, even as that young woman did—wish ing auiid their questioning that this community might have held, if only for a little longer, one of the noblest souls and sweetest spirits it has ever | known. I Nearly all of us love self. A great I many love friends and family,and lab -lor for them devotedly, unselfishly. | Now and then there is one, who. like the dear God, "loveth all." j Mrs. Gearhart possessed in wonder- j ful measure this beautiful spirit of love, which is the essence of brother hood and sisterhood the wide world ] round. She did good deeds as natur ally, and us unconsciously withal!, as a flower gives its perfume to the air. It is to be said of her, as it was said of Dorcas: "This woman was full of good works." Was there sicknesH within the sphere of her activity? She was there to minister. Was there sor row inn home whpie she was known? She was there to comfort. Was there nee 1 anywhere within the circle, in which she moved'? She was present to relieve if. And alio did all this without neglect jof any household duty or obligation. 1 Her sympathy wa9 all embracing, and | all who knew her, know this through I that unerring intuition, which makes ) us draw near, in perfect trust, to those who really love their feiiowmen. Her church was one of the objects of her continual soilcitude. For it | nothing was labor, or sacrifice. She i possessed great ability for leadership j tud achievement. There are many I who would do, but who can not ac complish that which they desire to do. Mrs. Gearhart was able to exercise j leadership without ostentation or any show of authority. Her family, her neighbors, her friends were never absent from her thought. Every grief and joy that was j theirs was likewise hers. All her life she spared not herself, but gave freely and plead "His love for love." There are no words that can do just ice to such a life. The influence of suoh living is u wellspriug of life eternal. Death closes the love-lit eyes, folds the ever ready hands, silences I the tongue, that when it could not | praise, was chained. But the fact that ! such a life has been lived in the sight |of men, remains like a benediction to [ all who have ever known it. Mrs. | Gearhart will ever be an inspiration j and a sweet and gentle memory. *** Grand Juries Are Useless. One of the most remarkable arraign | ments of the uselessness of grand juries was made by Judge Savidge.of North ! umberland county, specially presiding jin Cambria couuty, last week. Attor | ueys and spectators heard him in open ' mouthed amazement. Said the judge in his charge : "In my opinion,the grand jury is no long ler needed in the courts of Fennsyl j vania. Tiie courts can take care ot de fendants and see that they get justice, TiiO higher courts surely take | care of them if the lower courts fail, and tiie board of pardons will surely ! be just. I regard the grand jury much !as I would a fifth wheel on a buggy. By fifth wheel.l do not meau the half moon on the front axle. I meau an extra wtiee! on a four-wheeled vehicle, j The wheel would be of no use. The ! grand jury in these days is of value j only when it sees that the little,petty leases which ought not tp come here, I are not brought to trial. Gentlemen. I | want you to be careful that you don't send anything to this court that we ought not to have. When you come to a case and find nothing in it throw it out. We have no time or money to waste on such matters. You serve the ! county, and are of some value when ! you get the poor fellows haled into I court on petty charges, and the poor 1 witnesses who are haled in the cases, j and receive no costs, go back to their I homes. In any case, the petty cases ought not to get here. It is your duty I to see that they don't.

NO SHORTAGE IN WATER SUPPLY Notwithstanding the low stage of the river and the possibility of con tinued drought it is made clear that Danville stands in no danger of facing a shortage of water at least so long as reasonable economy is practiced by water takers. Water Commissioner Edward Gor man Monday explained the Bystem of wells in the river, showing that while connected, each has its own in take drawing on the deepest part of the channel. So that as long as there is a drop of water flowing our water works will be supplied. The wells are eight feet deep, which gives them an underground source to draw upon over and above the visible supply of wat er. This Is reassuring in view of the fact that the river is lower now than at auy time since 1854. Water Commissioner Gorman is in possession of some interesting data re lating to low water levels coverin many years past. "Elephant rock" as the big boulder below the bridge is known that becomes visible in low i water, for a couple of generations past iias been used to mark the depth to which the river has fallen during the seasons of drought. At such times as the present, there fore, the side of the big boulder, with its hieroglyphics, becomes an interest ing study. Whenever the river became phenomenally low some body.it seems, rowed out to the spot and chiseled a mark upon the rock, generally adding the initials of his name. The initials of many of our well-known residents are found on the rook, some of them inscribed many years ago. Water Commissioner Gorman Mon day paid a visit to "Elephant rock" and discovered that, although the riv er is now lower than at auy time since 1854, yet in that year It was two and a half inches lower than at present. Mr Gorman also confirms the view advanced in these columns yesterday: namely, that in times of low water the river falls at an exceedingly slow rate. From data gathered at the rock he ascertained that from Sunday the 6th inst. to Sunday last the 13th one week, the river fell just three-fourths of an inch. The water at present is three inches i lower than last year.
