Dennen, near Exchange, was laid in ashes Christmas night by a lire of mysterious origin, a heavy loss being entailed both by the owner aud the tenaut, Howard Sees. The barn, ranked among the finest in Montour county and was nearly new, It was 40x80 feet with a large " windbreaker" attached. Along with the barn a flue hog pen, two stories in height, was destroyed by the fire. The origin of the fire is wholly v mystery. The cattle were attended to and the barn was closed early in the evening. No one carrying a iight was anywhere near the barn. The family retired about 8 o'clock. At 11 o'clock, Mrs. Sees, wife of the teuant, was arousod by a bright light shining in her bed room window. She looked out aud saw that the bam was in a blaze. To arouse her husband and son was 00 ly the work of a second. An instant later t»ll three were at the barn turning out the cattle. The ttuaut has a telephone. Before leaving the house Mr. Sees called up Exchange. From the switchboard there a general alarm was sent out over the local line. It was oue of those occasions on which the rural 'phone well demon strates its value. Twelve families were simultaneously aroused and they all rushed to the burning bain, which was situated about a quarter of a mile from Exchange. When the neighbors arrived the ten ant and his family had not succeeded in rescuing all the live stock,alUiough the upper portion of the big barn was all a mass of flames and the heat was so intense as to make it almost impos sible to approach the building. The neighbors fell to work and with the asslstauce thus rendered the tenant was able to save all his live stock. Discovering that the barn was doom ed all present directed their efforts to the saving of the large handsome wag on house, standing only thirty feet from thd burning barn. This building is valued at SIOOO and, besides, it eon tains, in the second story, the season's corn crop. The wagon house seemed doomed along with the bam. The men fought heroically to save it, piling snow on the roof and dashing water against the sides. Three times the men were driv en away by the intense heat, but each time they returned to the fight and finally won out. The wagon house was saved. The barn, however, was burn ed to the ground along with 500 bus hels of wheat and 700 bushels of oats, stored in the granary, J5 tons of baled hay, which was to have beea deliver ed on Saturday,also one new top spring wagon and all the harness. Mr. Dennen had a etnal; insurance on the barn, and contents. There is, however, a big margin of loss which may reach |ISOO. The loss sustained by Mr. r ; ees, the tenant, will amount to several hundred dollars. It is believed that some one,suppos edly a tramp,was in the barn and that the Bre originated from the careless handling of matches. MANV ATTENDED" FRO/Vl DANVILLE The Craftsmen's dance, given in the ball room of the Masonic temple at Bloomshnrg Tuesday eve, was one of the largest affairs of its kind ever held in this section.

DANVILLE PA., THURSDAY. DECEMBER 31, 1908 WILL ill NEW HEATERS It was deoided at the meeting school board Mouday eve to install two large Beaver heating furnaces in the third ward school building to take the place of the Smead and Wells system, wliioh has been in use there for seven teen years and is so nearly worn out as to be of little service. The Smead and Wells system during several years past lias been repeatedly repaired, Dnring last summer the furnaces were lixed up so that it was thought they would answer the pur pose tne present year. Just before closing for the holiday vacation it transpired that the fur naces, figuratively speaking, went to pieces, necessitating an expenditure of at least |3OO for castings to replace the worn ont parts. Even with these repairs there seemed to be no assurance that the results would be adequate. W. C. Bowyer, an expert, who had been requested by the committee to ex amine the Smead aud Wells' system, made his report before the school board. He was emphatic that the heat ing system is worn nut. It might be patched up at an expense of some |4OO, but even then it would do its work imperfectly and could not be relied upon to conduct fresh air into the rooms. Besides, it would consume nearly double the quantity of coal that should be used to heat the building On motion of Mr. Burns it was ord ered that the contract for two No 44 Beaver heating furnaces be awarded the lJanville Stove and Manufactur ing company. The new furnaces will be installed during next week. 1)R. SCHAEFFER EXPLAINS. In reply to an inquiry a communica tion was received from Dr N. C.

In substance Dr. Schaefl'er's reply was as follows : Only two years of work in Ei glish is maiutained beyond the common blanches, two years in history and three years in soience.

Farewell to 19i8l JUDGE EIIANS ill SSSISI A Bliort session of oonrt was held Monday morning. His Honor Judge Evans and associates Blee and Welliv er were oti the"bench. The objoct of convening was to take I np the matter of a hearing in the lia | beas corpus proceeding to regain the ouatody of a ohild in which Clyde Ap pleman is petitioner and William Win tersteen 1b respondent. Owing to ill noss all the parties were not able to be in court and it was agreed to postpone tlifl hearing opeued in the case until Saturday of the regular session of co art. Court mi ie an order directing that the jury commissioners and tlia presi dent judge proceed to select alternately from the whole qualified electors of Montour county three hundred thirty sober, intelligent and judicious per sona to serve as jurors iu the several courts of Montour county during the year 1905*. Further that the jury commissioners and President. Judge or a majority of them shall in the mode and manner directed by law place the names of persons so selected in the jury wheel for the said county of Montour. In carrying out this order Judge Evans will comply with the letter of the law and will remain with the jury commissioners while the names are be ing seleoted and placed iu the jury wheel. Judge Evans was preseut with the jury commissioners while the wheel was being filled last year, which was the first time that the president judge had been present on this occa sion for many years, The juty commissioners as-iisted by Judge Evans began work Monday af ternoon. The filling of the jury wheel will occupy the greater part of the week, CiiIUNG DAIWAGHD IN COURT ROOM Tiie ceiling in the court room, which for a year or so past has shown the need of repairs, has gone to the bad very rapidly during the last month or so and at oue place w.tliin the bar the plnstering has broken loose and threat ens to drop upon the floor. been quite a customary thing for grand juries during the year past to recommend'repairs on the ceiling in the courtroom. While the frescoing was disoolored by water that had leak ed through from the roof and present ed an unsightly appearance at places, it was not known that the ceiling was unsafe until Monday morning. Judge Evans in person notified the oounty commissioners of the trae con ditions and thinks the matter should receive attention immediately. He ex pressed the opinion that should any one be injured by the plastering fall ing the county would be liable. The oounty commisßioners evidently have a problem on their hands. If they begin to make repairs they will un doubtedly discover that the whole cell ing will have to be removed, while the short Interval between the present and the next term of court would not just ify them in entering upon such whole sale repairs. WHERE COASTING IS DANGEROUS In addition to skating on the river and ponds several of the hills about town prior to last evening afforded the very best of coasting so that the boys and £irls by no means have been with out enjoyment during the holiday vacation. One of the very best coasting grounds in the borough is found on Spruce street. The sleds start on the lower Bide of the P. & R. railroad aud run all the way down to Mahoning creek, crossing Mill sfeet. It is trua there is an element of dan ger in this aud the police are given much concern lest sotue of the coasters collide with teams passing on Mill street. The ocoupants of the sleds, absorbed in their sport, forget to keep a look out to Bee whether the coast is clear, bur, often head foremost, dash down upon Mill street, escaping passing vehicles by the narrowest margin. The appearance of the coasters as they dart down from Spruce stroet is so sudden that it is impossible for a driver on Mill street to stop his horte in time for them to pass except when driving very slowly. The police after witnessing sever;.! narrow escapes yesterday came to the conclusion that coasting should be stopped on Spruoe street. They had a talk with a number of the residents thereabout, the most of whom had children among the cooasters, but the latter minimized the danger and beg ged of the officers that they would not interfere, depriving the ohildren of their sport. The days are getting longer, al though nobody is yet notloing the fact. u muni CHIEF MARSHAL For many yearn past the mummers ! have made things merry in Danville. Our people, however, have only be gun to realize the picturesque possi bilities of this queer bit of merry making and unlesa all signs fail great j er than ever before will be Friday's ! parade of New Year's mummers This is made possible by the spirit of our citizens, not only those who, to help ! aloug the eutertainment,join the mas | querade, but also the rank and file, who have contributed liberally of their means to make the affair a suc cess. At the meeting Mouday night Maj j or C. P. Gearhart was chosen chief marshal of the mummers' parade. Thomas G Vincent was ohoseti chief of staff. Assistant marshals are as follows: A C. Amesbnry, Rnlph Kie lier, Esq., William T. Suter, Simon Hoffman, Arthur Lawrence aud John E. Roberts. The following were chosen judges : H. O. Chester, Sunbury; Charles Ent, Bloomsburg; George Hancock, Nor thumberland; Charles Randall, Cata wissa; Hon. L. W. Welliver, Ex change; Dr, Edward L. Davis, Ber wick; Clarence Seidel, Washington ville: George W. Sonneborn, River side : Thomas J. Price, Dr. C. Shultz aud Thomas Murray of Danville. The Catawiesa, the Northumberland aud the Millville bauds havn accepted the invitation aud have given until e that they will be in the parade. Ttiree thousand small hand bills containing the full lint of prizes, the judges, &c., were printed yesterday and today will bo distributed through out tho county. The handbills will no doubt aid materially in stimulat ing interest, although it is quite evi dent that the country people are fully aware of what is going on in town on New Year's day and . ill be on hui d in large numbers. From the farmers in market yester day it was learned that several sec tions of the county will be represent ed in the parade. It Is rumored that Mahoning township will supply one of the principal attractions. It is not unlikely that one of the ways in which the New Year's parade this ! year will exceed all former demon strations will be in new features, in purely original conceptions. If rum or is to be relied on the parade from beginning to end will be a succession of surprises. UNITED 7iN~~ MATRIMONY Joseph F. Patton, of this city and Miss Lulu Kahler, of Williamsport, were untied in marriage on Monday evening. The wedding, which was a very quiet and unosteutatious affair, was solemnized at 6 :30 o'clock at the manse, by the Rev. Mr. Ure, pastoi of tho Presbyterian church, Williams j port.

TRANSLATION OFJPPTI Tuesday morning the large granite block to supjiort the statue on the east side of the monument was placed in position. This is the stone to which the tablet is riveted that contains the latin inscription relating to the fallen heroes in whose honor the memorial is raised. The latin inscription has aroused a great deal of interest ever since the bronze panel containing it arrhed at the monnment. A number of our townspeople, who believe they know latin, have tried their hand at its translation, bat no two thus far have succeeded in rendering it into Eng lish alike. la this connection it might ba not ed that several college professors have tried their hands at the translation. These all agree upon the meaning, although, as is natural, the English words they employ are not exactly the same. The latin inscription reads as fol lows : "O Fortunata Mors Quae Naturae Debita Pro Patria Est Potissimam Reddita." The best authorities agree upon the following translation: "Oh happy death, which, though due to nature, iB most nobly given for our country." WHERE THE PUBLIC OFFEND. Air. Amedon, the constructing engi neer, is much disgusted with the lack of respect shown the noble memorial by Sunday visitors. On Saturday evening the workmen, in a painstak ing way, using a mop and water, re moved every trace of discoloration from the handeome stone steps at the baße where they had become inadvert ently soiled while in building. When Mr. Amedon appeared at the monument Monday morning he found the steps covered with muddy foot prints, caused by people who had been climbing about the monument on Son day. It Is quite evident that the prop er respect was not shown the memor ial. The statues and, indeed, every part of the monument can be seen to the best advantage from the walk around the base, and, indeed, this is the nearest that the puhlio are expect ed to approach. Many who offended probably did bo thoughtlessly and to such the commit tee will not have to appeal the second time in order to keep things in trim and in good order about the monu ment. TELEGRAM FROM THE RED CROSS The loss of life in the great earth quake in Italy hourly becomes more appalling. The litest estimates place the number of dead above 100,000, which makes the tragedy one of the greatest that has ever befallen the Christian world. Already relief movements have been started in this couutry. In Pennsyl vania subscriptions are being reoeived by the Red Cross society at Philadel phia. Chief Burgess W. J. Rogers yester day received a telegram from the Pennsylvania Red Cross in relation to the matter. It reads as follows : "Express sympathy through local newspapers to citizens of Italian affil iation aud start local fund for the Red Cross relief for Sicily earthquake and tidal wave sufferers. Joseph A. Steinmetz, Seo'y." Upon receipt of the telegram Bur gess Rogers at once proceeded to com ply with the requests. Each of our three banks, the Danville National bank, the First National lunk aud People's bank, at once agreed to re cieve contributions for the relief of the earthquake BUtferers. Thus all charitably disposed persons will have an oppor' uity of doing what they can V ' jiieve euffiring aud of doing it q* „Rly. The money con tributed to the relief fund will be reg ularly forwarded to the State Red Cross at Philadelphia, bv which in tnm it will be handed over to the Na tional Red Cross, when it will speedily find its way to the Red Cross in Italy. The mouey will be wisely ditlnirt-ed. When the San Fraucisco earthquake occurre I Danville's contribution to the relief fuud was over sl2<o. Danville has very few citizens .of "Italian affiliation" but those who reside hereabout, some of whom have relatives in the devestated seitions of Italy, may rest assured that they have fie sympathy of a warm hearted and geuerous American public. Visiting Posts. William M. Heddeus. junior depart ment commander of the Pennsylvania G. A.
