11E1RY
OF LINCOLN
The Lincoln centenary brought forth
many fine orations, hut it is doubtful
whether any of the speakers in dwel
ling upon the character and achieve
ments of tne great emancipator gave
expression to sentiments of greater
beauty and impressiveness than the
Rev. J. Conley Grimes, who addressed
the Presbyterian Brotherhood at the
Grove church on Lincoln Day and em
ployed the topic of" Abraham Lincoln"
in his regular sermon at St. Peter's
M. E. church, Sunday evening.
Mr Grimes' sermon as well as iiis
address before the brotherhood lias
brought oat many expressions of praise
and appreciation. For the benefit of
those of onr readers who had not the
pleasure of hearing this eloquent
speaker we here present several of the
tributes he paid to Lincoln's memory :
''Snrely Abraham Lincoln was the hu
man instrument in the hands of God
for the, pnrpose of welding the frag
mentary sectionf. of our troubled coun
try. It has been said that Lincoln
knew men by heart. He was a man
like Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry,
and Andrew Jackson and greater than
any of them. He was nearer to the
people than even Thomas Jefferson.
" Horace Greeley said: 'I doubt
whether any man, woman .or child,
white or black, bound or free,virtuous
or vicious, ever' accosted or reached
forth a hand to Abraham Lincoln,and
detected in his countenance and man
ner any rpeugnance or shrinking from
the proper contact, any assumption of
superiority or betrayal of disdain."
Frederick Douglas", the oiator'of his
race, testified tiros: "Mr. Lincoln is
the only white man with whom I ever
talked or in whose presence I have
ever been who did not consciously or
unconsciously betray to me that he
recognized my color."
" Abraham Lincoln was probably
best lifted to be president of the com
nion people of all the statesmen who
have held the oltice. He more than
any man of whom the books preserve
long narrative was a living example of
the efficacy of gentleness and moral
suasion as auxiliaries of torce and
arms.
"Abraham Lincoln was a man of
earnest conviction and sublime devo
tion to his faith. And it was his sub
lime devotion to the right in the face
of the most appalling opposition that
made the name of Abraham Lincoln
immortal as the author of the eman
cipation proclamation, on which he
justly invoked the considerate judg
ment of mankind and the gracious fav
or of Almighty God.
"The halo of a martyr's death ex
atled "Honest Old Abe" in the eyes
of those of us who came after—exalt
ed him to the plane of the ideal where
we lose sight of tie actual man.
"From beyond the scene of earthly
trial and strife looks the spirit of our
martyr friend, side by side with
Moses, the emanoipator of Israel,with
Pericles of Greece, with Oromwell of
I England. But infinitely above these
and the Gods of ancient lore, is the
spirit of the immortal Lincoln,because
i not for bis own but for a different
race he offered up big life. "Lincoln
and Freedom, "these words,ln the lang
uage of another, "shall pass on from
to age until the unsightly piece of
■ Kbony, quarried from the depths of
1 slavery's pit shall prove a priceless
jewel in the diadem of humanity.' -
"The glory of the Christ is that he
died for men. He died and yet we
know that he Is not dead. May we
not reverently say upon this Lincoln
i centenary occasion, this anniversary
!of him, whom some called,the "Bleep
j ing volcano," that he is not dead, but
with us and ever to abide as an in
spiration to increasing and ever in
creasing patriotism.
"God forbid that this fair land
shoul 1 ever need another such a sacri
lice,but if it fails to prize its heritage
and must again be purlted by fire may
we be able to sing:
"In the beauty of the lilies
Ohrist WHS horn across the sea;
With a glory in His bosom
Tiiat transfigures you and me.
j As Me dfed to make men holy.
Let us die to make men free."

PENBST BUILDS
1 IB FENCE
The Pennsylvania railroad company !
is employing a drasti(' measure to pre
vent trespassing on its property in
South Danville and Riverside, which I
measure is nothing less than the fenc-'
ing in of its track below the station, j
Already posts are planted for a long
distance ou the south side of the track
and the work of enclosing the proper
ty will be pushed ti completion *s
speedily as possible. The railroad
company has always beeu very much
annoyed by trespassers ou that section
of the track betweeu the orossing at
the flouring mill aud the lower end of
the borough of Riverside. It is along
that section of track that boys are .
tempted to jump the cars, but that is
uot all; the railroad at most seasons
presents better walking than the sev
eral streets running nearly parallel, ,
so that the track becomes a favorite
thoroughfare for pedestrians. Very
many accideuts have ocourred on this
section.
Judging from the height aud
strength of the posts beinj,' planted
the fence will be a formidable affair,
insurmountable to all except the most
determined trespassers.
Even the practice of crossing the
track at the station by persons using
the trains, now regarded as a great
convenience, it is Baid. will have to
cease The fence being built will ex
tend along the south side of the track
at this point—from the crossing at
the flouring mill to a pcir.t nearly op
posite the freight house where a con
siderable space will bo left open for
the purpose of loading and unloading
cars.
Beginning at the crossing just le
low the freight house the fence will
be erected on both sicks cf the track
and will extend down below the silk
mill to the curve, enclosing a very
Ion? section of the track. Persons liv
ing or having business in that | art of
the borough or township, who have
been in the habit of crossing the rail
road at any point, henceforth will be
driven t.i the inconvenience of seek
ing the established crossings in mov
ing backward and forward.
Odd Fellows' Officers Mere,
The preliminary arrangements for
the big O.iil Fellows' anniversary cele
bration which will be held in Dan
ville on April 27th, were gotten under
way last evening at a meeting in this
city between the association oilicers of
Williamsport and the local committee.
The oilioers from Williamsport who
were at the meeting in Dr. Sweisfort's
ollioe last evening were W. H. Kiess,
president; H. H. Ebcrly,secretary and
A A, Myers, treasurer. Members of
the local committee were A. H.
Grone, ohairman; Thomas G. Vin
cent, secretary; Hairy Seidel, treasur
er: Harry Titiey, .1. T. Fisher, Oscar
Shultz, George B Wiutersteen and
Charles V. Amerman.
Preliminary steps toward the suc
cess of the big event occupied the at
tention of the meeting for the greater
part. Dr. Juo. Sweisfort was chosen
ohief marshal! of the parade, with the
power to select his aides.
The Williamsport party remained in
Danville over last night and will re

HI HIED
It was learned Tuesday that owing
to the alleged outbreak of foot and
mouth disease in the vicinity of Phil- !
adelphia, the State livestock sanitary
board iias reconsidered its action in
deciding to modify the quarantine on
cattle in Montour county.
While in this city a week ago Dr.
Leonard Pearson stated that in a few
days' time two or more of the dis
tricts of this county would be releas
ed, by which it was understood cattle
could be removed without obtaining
permits. A week passed, however,
without any orders being issued mod
j ifying the quarantine and Tuesday
Dr. J. O Reed, agent of the State
livestock sanitary board, stated that
owing to the outbreak above alluded
to there would he no change at pres
| ent.
This will prove unwelcome news to
farmers, butchers and others. So far
as learned, in Montour county, the
rules and regulations of the State live ;
stock sanitary board have not been
violated in a single instance, which
certainly is a showing to be proud of
considering the inconvenienoe that
the quarantine 'imposes on persons
who handle cattle.

AS EXPLAINED
81 DR. PEARSON
Farmers who intend changing resi
dences the coming spring, moving out
of Montonr county into one not under
quarantine, foresee many difficulties
ahead of them owing to the rules and
regulations of.the State livestock san
itary board.
A. M. Gearhart of West Hemlock
township is one of those who expects
to move over the line, leaving the
farm he has occupied for one in Col
umbia county, near Jerseytown.
Owing to the quarantine cu Montour
county Mr. Gearhart was alraid that
6omo complications might arise when
it came to removing his cattle and ac
eordingly owing to the approach of
moving tiise. he wrote State Veterin
arian Dr. Leonard Pearson, asking
whether, if the quarantine remain in
force, it would ba possible for him to
get a permit to remove his cattle to
the otiier farm in Columbia county.
Dr. Pearson replied to the effect
that so long as the quarantine remains
in force it will be ont of the question
to consider the removal of cattle ont
of the county. The rule, he said, ad
mits of no exceptions and can not be
suspended.
This would seem to be conclusive
and farmers who contemplate moving
out of the county can readily see that
there are difficulties ahead. Farmers
who desire to move from Columbia
county—which is "released"—into
Montour county, will have no difficul
ty in obtaining a permit.
For the farmer of Montour county,
who desires to move into Columbia
county there would seem to be but one
thing to hope fur and that is that the
quarantine may be modified before
moving time.
Mr. Gearhart explained that it quite
frequentlv occurs that farmers move
during the month ot' March,which
leaves a very shcrt interval of time in
which a change of conditions relating
to foot and mouth disease may occur.
Dr. J. O. Reed, agent of the State
livestock sanitary board, yesterday
said he did not think 'tliat farmers
who,like Mr. Gearhart,desire to move
out of the county, will meet with any
real difficulty when the time to move
occurs. Their cases, he thought, would
be one that would appeal to the State
livestock sanitary board and that in
all probability some provision would
te made for them.
