PUDDLING BASIS
$3.75 PER TON
For some days past the air has been
full of rumors of wage reductions,esp
ecially as relates to the Montour mills
of this city, owned and operated by
the Reading Iron company. Iu order
to determine to what extent this plant
might be affected by any contemplat
ed wage reduction an interview was
had with General Manager H. L.
Hecht at his office Monday.
A reduction has been decided upon,
which will affect the Montour mills
in this city along with other plants
owned by the Reading Iron company.
Full particulars will be found iu a
statement authorized by F. O. Smink,
president of the Reading Iron com
pany, when interviewed regarding the
effect of the preseut condition of the
iron and steel business upon wages.
Mr. Smlnk says:
•The aggressive war of competition
recently inaugurated has resulted iu a
most drastic decline in the priecs of
the various products manufactured by
this company. Its largest product is
that of wrought iron pipe and tubular
goodß, the price of which has dropped
110.00 to 111.00 per ton from the price
ruling up to last month. Its other pro
ducts have been affected to a some
what lesser extent. The company is
making every effort possible to meet
this competition and to keep its works
in operation, aud to this end every
economic measure will be put into ef
fect. A revision and readjustment of
its wage schedules (necessarily involv
ing a reduction in all its departments)
is now imperative and cau no longer
be avoided. The management have,
therefore, most reluctautly decided
that new wage lists be prepared and
put into effect the latter end of this
month."
Iu respect to wages, he further stat
ed that the policy of the company lias
always been a cousisteut and liberal
one. It lias steadfastly refrained from
making any reductions uutil all other
means of decreasing costs of produc
tion. in order to meet cuirent market
prices have beeu exhausted audit lias
never deuied au increase when the
market for any of its products justifi
ed such increase. The reduction now
contemplated will vary in the differeut
departmfcts from 10 to l."> per cent.
The puddling hash will be at the rate
off 3 75 per ton.

au exceedingly valuable remedy. I

GUARD HOME AFTER
MEMORABLE TRIP
Wearied and footsore, the local
guardsmen returned Friday evening
\ from their trip to Washington. The
I train carrying the provisional regi
i rneut arrived at Suubury witli cheer
ing soldiers at every window at 8:10
| o'clock,three hours overdue from long
delays at Harrisburg and other poiuts.
The members of Company F arrived
l at South Danville later oil a special i
i train carryiug the 9th regiment of
I Wilkes Barre.
The trip was the most notable oue
i for hardships endured that the militia
has ever made to Washington. Be
gading it one of the guardsmen said :
; With faces full of bright anticipa
tion the 762 members of the provision
al regiment, Third brigade, N. G. P.,
left Sunbury afier assembling there
making the districts represented in
j elude the commands about Wilkes
1 Barre anil the Thirteenth of Scrauton.
The entire regiment was under the
I command of Col. G. M. Clement, of
| Suubury,aud left there but a half hour
after schedule time.
The arrival at the massively heanti
i fill Union statiou at Washington took
place at 4 :25 and Jupiter Pluvius did
his best to discourage the guardsmen
I and they filed their way out through
! the gates into a blinding, drenching
rain storm, after which a march of
oue half hour's duration brought the
boys in blue to tiieir destination, the
old District building on Judiciary
; square. The building boused 8600 men
! of the provisional brigade nuder . en
eral O. Bow Dougherty, and was pro
vided with elevators aud steam heat
throughout thus ensuring against chills
i and dampness after exposure to the
elements. Dnring the night the rain
. turued to snow and in the morning a
i beautiful picture of Washington in
i he grasp of winter was presented.
The regiment moved for parade
promptly at 11 :45 and marched to a
waiting place in the rear of the cap
itol, where the boys remained for
| about three hoars. They stood where
the exposure was most harmful, their
damp feet resting in the slush and
j snow. Everybody was good iiatured,
| however, and kept moving about to
I keep warm.
At last the bugle souuded and the
, regiment moved into proper place aud
on paßt the capitol through six incites
of water and slush, so that it really
amounted to a foot nth instead of a
march. Down Pennsylvania avenue
the paving was dry and all the damp
t feet were soon iu comparative com
fort
The colonel dismissed the regiment
as soon after passing the president as
\it was possible to do so. Then the
j boys got back to their quarters speed
ily to change stockings aud dry tiieir
i shoes.
Envy of Her Neighbors.
The Williamsport Sun commenting
on the postponement of two terms of
criminal conrt iu this county, says:
I "From the standpoint of economy the
lapse of court trials is not of inconsid
erable importance, in that they do
away with the necess tv of paying
1 witnesses, jurors and other court at
taches. Moutour, with her almost ideal
conditions, so far as conrt rouditions
go. will soon he the envy of her neigh
bors. "

IT DEPENDS
ON THE CROPS
Aocording to leading financiers. the
return to prosperity,to better business
conditions will depend more largeh
upon the outlook of the crops this
spring, than any other one thing. If
tin 1 season is favorable, if grain and
giass has wintered well,if seeding oan
be done uuder favorablo circumst
auces, and a good growth started, we
will stte business revive rapidlv. Un
der present conditions, with the out
look of poor crops,there would be such
a discouraging outlook that capital
would become timid, for after all this
natiou depends more upou agriculture i
than any other industry far its wealth.
Hut this is a great nation, its cli
mate and eoil so varied and area so i
great, that if crops or ot>o of the laad
iug cereal crops fails in one section,
wo may be assured of good crops in
another.
In .some sections of the wheat belt, '
there has not been snow or moisture
sufficient to protect and c»nse growth, j
while in the main, reports from the j
west show winter wheat is indue con- j
dition. having wintered well,and as a '
whole in better shape than for many I
year a.
Nebraska's wheat has beeu well cov- I
ered by mow, and alternate thaws and |
freezes did no harm. The uext mat j
ter of interest will lj« ploughing and'
sowing the spring grain, and the in- !
dications favor a big wren devoted to
the purpose. With wheat ranging far
above the dollar uiark, the conditions, t
eveu if produced by speculative mani
pulation, hold out many inducements
to farmers. The world, including the
United States, is consuming more
.vheat than ever before and grain
growers have reasonable certainty of
! disposing of their crops at reuiunera-
I tite figures.

PREPARING
JOB VISITORS'
Danville during the next three
months or so will bo the scene of three
important events, which will be re
membered for mauy years—the Odd
Fellows' anniversary, the unveiling of
the soldiers' monnmeut aud Six-Oouu
ty Firemen's convention.
In raising the money needed for en
tertainment, &c., there is hardly auy
doubt but that the townspeople in each
ease, will be fouud to contribute gen- j
erously. This suggests that the bor- <
ongh has a duty to perform in the pre
mises. Whether the municipality shall
benefit from either of the events will
depend upon whether or not the j
strangers attracted here shall carry '
away with them favorable impressions i
of the town. Obviously a few things I
are needed to give our town a spick !
and spau appearance such as strangers j
i liave a right to expect of a municipal- *
ity where the proper degree of oivio j
pride exists.
The painting of the liobb houses of !
the borough last fall was a step in the
] right direction, aud uow t he Odd Fel- j
j lows are urging that big city hall be
' painted on the outside. The entire
third floor of this building, which is
! rented by the Odil Fellows, is being
painted aud papered by the borough,
t but the members of the order urge that
the interior when reuovated will con- |
trast unpleasantly with the dull,
weather beaten walls of the exterior,
which are so conspicuous. A coat of
I paint would accomplish wouilers and i
| the cost would not be heavy.
It was learned yesterday that the I
water works will probably be painted
! early in the spriug.
Both the Odd Fellows and the fire
; men contemplate the erection of sev
; eral magnificent arches to be illnmin
j ated with vari colored lights. As the
j borough owns its own light plant it
| will he asked to donate the light for
j the archeg, which will prove great at
; tractions on both occasions. II is be*
j lieved that council will see its way
clear to contribute the light.

m CHEERFUL
AND COMPOSED
Sheriff Taby read to Stanny Marca
vltch in the Northumberland county
prison at Sunhnry Tuesday morning
the warrant for his death. The docu
ment, bearing the signature of Gov
ernor Stuart and the great seal of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania arrlv
ed in the morning mail It was sign
ed by the governor on Monday.
It was about eleven o'clock whea
the sheriff, accompanied by Deputy
Sheriff Gribbeu and Attorney Mo
iDevitt, who represented the prisoner
in the trial and in all the subsequent
procedures, entered the cell of th«
doomed man.
STANEY WAS CHEERFUL.
Staney was quite cheerful although
! he fully comprehended the full sign
ificauce of the warraut. He spoke of
, : the weather aud of his life in jail. He
1 said that he expected the warraut at
I about this time. He had heard that it
I iiad been issued and felt that if the
news were trne the warraut would ar-
I rive no later thau Tuesday.
i John R. Oeise.of Suubury, and VVil
| liam Nesbit, of Northumberland, will
be with the prisoner from now onto
the day of the execution. They will
' take turns in guarding him from pos
sible attempts to escape or to tnke his
' own life.
| Maroavitch will haug in the North
i umberlaud couuty jail yard on Tuurs
day, March 25, between the hours of
|lO in the morniug and three in the
| afternoon. It is likely that the exeou
; tiou will take place before noon. Cres
singer, the last murderer hanged at
, Sunbury paid the death penalty at 11
o'clock.
' The preparation for the execution
1 must be completed by the sheriff with
in two weeks which is a very short
time. He will have full authority in
the issuance of permits to tlie jail
i yard. and l as had many applications
] from morbidly curious persons who
i are in no wise connected with the
case, or actuated froui any other mo
tive than that of mere curiosity.
INDOMITABLE SPIRIT.
The young murderer, who seems a
mere youth, although slight in build
seems indomitable in spirit. He has
apparantly settled with himself as to
what liis conduct shall be. Although
he still maintains that "Pimple Face"
Joe Kochefskie now a prisoner in th«
Northumberland county jail was the
real murderer, yet he refuses to give
any evidence which may lead to the
other's conviction. Kochefskie will
I still be in jail when Marcavitch is ei
cuted. If lie is really guilty of the
crime his state of miud on that clay
will be an unenviable one.
