TWO SHERIFF WILLIAMS MET Sheriff D. C. Williams yesterday re turned from Huntingdon, where he took Arthur Welliver to the reformat ory. An amusiug incident of liis trip is told as follows hy the Huntingdon Daily New Era: "That Williams is a popular name at least in two counties in Pennsyl vania when aspiring to office is shown by a little coincidence which brought to Huntingdon on Monday two sheriffs by that name, One was Sheriff Frauk Williams, of Venango county and the other was Sheriff D. C. Williams, of Montour county. Neither had met the other until they got together iu Hunt ingdon,the one on a mission to the re formatory, the other in search for a man who had .lumped his bail. Botli fell into the hands of Col. Bathurst, our genial chief of police, aud were escorted, of course not to the lock-up nor the county jail, but around over town to see the sights They paid many complimentary remarks to Hunt ingdou and of course the "Colonel" invited them back for "Old Home Week" next year. " Becoming infatuated with Mrs. John Dolan, of Morea, Sohuylkill county, Michael Amhrosins coaxed her it is alleged, to poison her husband and elope with him. She told her huej band instead, however, and now the tempter is in jail. INI STRUCK BI TROLLEY CAR A two liorw spring wagon tielonging to N B.

UNION SERVICE ON THANKSGIVING The Uiiiou Thanksgiving service will be held iu the Grove Presbyteri an church thin season The sermon will bo preached by the Kev. John Couley Grime--, pastor of SI. Peter's M. E chorch of Riverside. The Arrangements thus far were per fected at a regular meeting of the Danville Ministerial association held yesterday forenoon. The arraugement of a full program was left in the hands of the Rev. William U. McOormaok, D. D., pastor of the Grove Presbyter ian church. It was decided that the Tlianksglv ing offering be donated to the Wo men's Beuevolent society of Danville, which is very much iu need of funds in order to enablo it to extend relief eveu in small quantities in all the di rections where want exists. Following custom, to the end that the Thanks giving offering mav not appear in significant the various churches of the borough arc requested to take up a separate offering at prayer meeting on Wednesday evening preceding Thanks giving, said sums to be added to the regular thanksgiving offering taken up at the union service. Earlier iu the season there was some sentiment in favor of holding Thanks giving servioes in each of the church es in town as was the enstom in the past. The matter was much disenssod for awhile. The announcement of the Union service, however, would indic ate that the idea of holding separate services has been abandoned. EXHIBITED NEW LABORATORY SYSTEH The school board Monday night was treated to an interesting demonstration [of the Columbia-Crowell laboratory system, taking in nearly the whole ; domain of physios. The experiments were conducted by D. W. Moon, rep resentative of the Columbia School Supply company, of Indiana. The new laboratory system is inoet complete. It impressed the sohool board very favor ably and will no doubt facilitate the teaching aud study of physics very much. The school board took no ac tion looking to the introduction of the system last night. Nearly the entire session was oc cupied with the demonstration. The following members were pres ent: Parsul, Orth, Barber, Swarts, j Burns. Fischer, Fish, Lloyd, Sechler, Redding, Cole. SHELTERING HOBOES IN LOCKUP The tramps are coming to town iu large numbers. No less than five had sought, the shelter of the lock-up at 7 o'clock last night. Although the hoboes put up the usu al plea of being in search of work they bear the usual earmarks aud there i is little doubt that work is the last thing they desire. As autumn ad vances the number of tramps is on the increase aud the police as well as the citizens of town are much annoyed. It wonld seem pretty safe to assume that the hoboes with praoticaly no ex i ceptions are all that they seem to be and that the best remedy to be applied i would be the ball and chaiu. Feediug j and sheltering the tramps is only en couraging vagrancy. The Dauphin county court lias be fore it this week forty-five divorce oases, most of the applications com ing from women on the plea of de sertion. HALLOWEEN i SIIM Next Saturday night will be hall oween and the |otIIr« department I* al ready on the alert to keep the antics of the serenaders down to a healthful and sane ohnerrance of the event and to prevent anything like the disorder ly and unlawful conduct that has dis graced the town In t>ast years It Is worthy of note that due to the exertions of our police during several ; years past very little complaint has been heard on the acore of damage done on hallo ween It was not many years ago that the inasi|ueraders owned the town on that occasion The worst element seemed let loose and it did about as it pleas ed. The streets, not only nu October Ulit hut for several nights previously redoubled puudenioniuin. Flour and charcoal were distributed with a lav ish hand That clothes were ruined goes without saying, while damage iloue lo property was by no means small. Vie would be a .ionr misanthrope,in deed, who would debar the young aud pleasure loving from all participation in the time-honorml observance of halloween. At the same time modera tion is as much of a virtue when one is engaged in impersonating witches and evil spirits as it is in sauer em ployment. That the police department intends to maintain its attitude of former years is quite obvious from the following proclamation that the clilef of-police has handed to the AMERI CAN: '"To whotn it may concern Notice is hereby given that the celebration of halloweeu must be restricted to oue night only, that of October 31st. All persona found guilty of throw ing floor, soot, or of using cliarcoal ro mark the clothing of others will be promptly arrested. Let there be no mischief doue and avoid all disorderly conduct. J.

The new ly married couple will reside in Sou , bury, and will start housekeeping in I the very near future in a newly fur nished home at No. 24a South Third street. SURFACE EXPOSES A NATURE FAKER A mighty odd thing happened be fore the 680 teachers assembled in county institute at Norristown this week. Professor H. A. Surface, the State economic zoologist, addressed them,and displayed some sample corn, which had grown to immense size thereabouts. In examining a parti cularly long ear, which measured 17 inches, he found that there had been some nature-faking going on, for the ear came -apart and the glne with which it was Btuck was revealed The ccbs, in the center of which a stick had been affixed, were of two colors, red aud white, the "faker" no doubt never suspecting that the "boss" inspector would get "next." Social a Success. A very successful social was held iu Heddens' hall at Washingtonville on Saturday by the Webster Literary so ciety of the Strawberry Ridge high school. The hall was tastefully de coratedlTor the occasion. One of the principal features of the affair was Madame Sidonia (Miss Dietrich) who told the fortuues of those present. The committee iu charge ef the af fair was composed of Margaret Diehl, chairman; Maragret Shultz, Belva Kinney, May Springer, Walter Roat and Ralph Oromis, president of the society.

P., of this city, has received an invi tation from the commander of lint I'ost No. 350, O. A. R., to be present at the unveiling of the Soldiers' mon ument at Bloomsburg iu the near fu ture. It is well known that the Blooms burg veterans like the members of the O. A. R. iu Danville are engaged in the work of building a soldiers' mon ument. The memorial to the fallen heroeß at Bloomsburg is a little furth er along than the one at Danville, the work on the base being probably about completed. The Bloomsburg veterans expect to be able to unveil their monument some time during next month. The unveiling ceremonies will be of an elaborate and impressive tature. Gov ernor Stuart and many other distin guished persons are expected to be pres ent. Company F has not yet taken action on the invitation but there is hardly any doubt hut that it will accept. The company is invited to be present in full dress uniform. PENNSY'S BIG RAIL ORDER "Tlie Pennsylvania will soon place an order for rails and equipment for 1909 delivery. The order will be about the same size as usual. The company will not let its lines deteriorate in any way. I believe that the worst of the business crisis is over and that there will hereafter be a gradual im provement." These statements were made by President James McCrea, of the Pennsylvania railroad, when he arrived at the union depot in Pitts burg on the inspection trip which he, the board of directors and otjier offici als of the company are tuabins; over the lines east and west of the Smoky City. Au average order of the Penn sylvania of rails iu one year for the lines east aud west of Pittsburg is 10,- 000 tons. At the present rate of S2B a ton, this would foot up $4.:>00,000. In additiou to this the company will re quire not less than 200 more steel pass enger coaches, because of the needs originating in the new Pennsylvania terminals at New York City. One of these cars is worth |5,000. The total would cost $1,000,000. Harold Reppert, of Copley, Lehigh county, aged 6 years, got a gun out of a closet on Monday which it was thought was not loaded. While play ing with it, it was discharged in the bauds of his brother Heury aged 8 years. The load struok Harold on the head and he may die. Elmer E. Steigerwalt, of Sitlers Station, Schuylkill county, formerly a tax collector of West Penu township who disappeared throe months ago, when he was charged with having em bezzled SSOO collected for taxes, was captured at Tamaijua on Mouday. Hit is reported that the Amerioan Sheet and Tin Plate company will build five more hot mills at the Qroer tin mill in New Castle. The mill has now twenty hot mills. NEW KID 1 OF Hill I The school board 11 ar adopted a new method of fumigation. discarding iho elaborate and more or lend expensive regenerator* whereby the formalde hyde g»« was |iroiluc<>il by an alcohol ' I | lamp anil using in Its ►trail n simple I ami lß«i|WDii(« devlcf wherein Willi I oat the agency of heat formaldehyde ' gas is more quickly produced in wore 1 concentrated fottn. 1 It «u not until come twenty year* 1 ago tliat the germicidal properties of iormaldeliydo were recognised and that it began to displace sulphur a* a dis infectant. Until unite recently, how r ever, the gas was generated through ' the agency of an alcohol flame. The preseuce of the burning alcohol made it unsafe to place the regenerator in ' the room to bo fumigated and it wan : customary when using it to set it in a hail or another room adjoining, con 1 ducting the formaldehyde gas into the cloned room by means of a long tube in serted in the key hole Meanwhile,the janitor was supposed to be at the side 1 of the regeut rator to prevent mishap Recently it was discovered that Iwt ter result* are accomplished by omit ting the flame and simply mixing with the formaldehyde potassium peruiang -1 anate. As soon as the two chemicals 1 nnite there is a violent ebulitioa or boiling,during which the gas is thrown ' off in enormous volume Indeed, it lias been discovered that within teu miu ' utes after the potassium permanganate has been mixed with the formaldehyde 1 eighty per cent of the whole quantity ' of gas is given off, thus producing a 1 volume which of necessity fills every recess and corner of the room. Owing to the absence of the alcohol tlame and the consequent danger from lire the formaldehyde can be directly ■ applied by mixing the chemicals iu the room to be fumigated. The pres ence of the janitor is not needed. The apparatus is simplicity itself " and in a general way may be describ ed as a tiu bucket set iu a dish basin, the former to contain the chemicals and the latter to catch the liquid that may boil over. Obviously a bucket and dish basin,along with the chemic als, are all that are essential when it becomes necessary to famigate a resi -1 | deuce. The new method of fumigation orig -1 inated with the State board of health of Maine. It has now been adopted by the State department of health of Pennsylvania.

RIVER HIGHEST IN MANY MONTHS The slow drizzliug rain, which fell yesterday, following the rains of Sun day and Monday would seem to indi cate that the drought is effectually broken aud that henceforth ||we shall have plenty if rain. Best of all the weather coutiuues warm so that under the effect of the moisture the grain has an opportunity to grow and to make np for lost time. The river has risen slightly aud at present is higher than at any time during the summer. This does not im ply, however, that the rise is consid erable. Many of the larger rocks still protrude above the water and the stream is only slightly muddy. Never theless the river presents a changed appearance and the probability is that additional rains will cause higher water before winter sets in. PROPOSED BILL INTERESTS FIREMEN The volunteer firemen of Danville are greatly interested in a bill which it Is proposed to bring before the State legislature when it meets iu January of next year, aud which, if passed, will result in the better maintenance uf volunteer tire departments in bor oughs of the State and will avoid con flicts betweeu firemen and borough legislative bodies in regard to the ex penditure of borough funds for firecje partment pnrposes. The new bill, which was endorsed by the convention of the Southeastern \ olunteer Firemen's association of Pennsylvania at South Bethlehem, proposes to levy a tax of one-half mill on personal property aud real estate in all boroughs and towns within the State for the purpose of creating a firemen's reserve fund for the estab lishment,the equipment and the main tenance of fire companies iu boroughs aud towns. The bill has the endorse ment of other associations aud will be presented as noted above. The mem bers of the association are going to take steps to further the proposition in this vicinity by getting all candid ates for the legislature and.State sen ate to agree to support the bill when it comes up. It isn't a good thing for the girls of the family to run the streets at night or for the boys either.
