Millersburg and Reading are now connected by an auto line which was putin service on Saturday. Clifford Crawford swallowed a false tooth when he became suddenly sick and struck his head against a piece of furniture. The tooth was removed at the Harrisburg hospital. Coopersburg is in tlie grip of a ty phoid fever epidemic caused, it is be lieved,by a number of residents drink ing water from a well in a woods near the town during a picnic. Richard Barrons and Charles Stadt man were found guilty at Reading of involuntary manslaughter in the kill- j ing of Charles Franeke whom they, beat up. The maximum sentence is 1 two years. Going up the Allegheny river to hold ! a corn roast, eleven couples from Ver- ! ona, Oakmont and Wilkinsburg were I lost in the fog. They could not see to guide tlu ir boat and were forced to stay on the river all night until the j veil lifted. Ten cattle were burned to death on ! a siding on the Pennsylvania railroad near Washington when a small boy, whose identity cannot be established, set lire to the straw in the car in which there were twenty-seven anim als. Other beasts will have to b.i shot. Frank Foluier was found dead with a bullet hole in his head in a cemetery at Lebanon. The condition of his clothes indicated that he had first tried to end his life in the water but had probably found that way too cold to ■ be comfortable. He had been melau- 1 choly. Henry Miller was hurt and a vain- ! able team of horses killed when they were struck by a train near Aspin- j wall. The animals belonged to Robert Hall, a noted keeper of tine horses. Mr. Hall lias had particularly bad luck with his animals, having had a number meet with violent deaths. Miss Phoebe Johns lost her life by falling from the second story of the Lloyd house at Pliilipsburg. The girl felt sick and went out to a balcony on the second floor and leaned on the rail ing. The banister gave away and she was participated to the ground Her neck was broken. Five hundred gallons of chemicals were required to extinguish a tar fire at the Bartlett Manufacturing com pany's plant in Johnstown. The fire was caused by a lot of tar flowing from a leak in one of the 5,000 gallon tanks and into the ash pits of a nest of boilers. When his auto was struck by a trol ley car, Frederick Liebfried, a Bristol merchant, leaped and was badly cut about the head while his companions escaped uninjured. Stella Jones, of Glenwood, is a pris oner in Pittsburg, charged with the embezzlement of $4,000 from the Ohio and Pittsburg Milk company,by which she was employed as a bookkeeper and cashier. Her family is above reproach. While attempting to board an east bound freight train at Wernersville. Reuben Stober, Stephen Schwartz and Roy Long all had narrow escapes from death. Long was the only who was not injured. He was thrown between the two trains and had presence of mind enough to lie still until the trains had passed. Following the release under S2OOO, bail of Mrs. Margaret Byers who had been arrested on the charge of burning twelve barns in Bucks county comes the news of more fires. Three other places have been the marks of an un known incendiary. Two id' the build ings were burned and in the hay mow of tin- other was found a lighted candle standing 011 a piece of oil saturated cardboard and at the bottom of the candle were a number of matches. In about three hours the machine would have gone off and the barn would have been doomed. Miss Sarah Orelish. -of Braddock, tried to step from a. car while it was in motion and was thrown to the ground with such force that her in uries may cause her death. With a mortgage of J|1,500,000 is the way the new trolley road from Waynes burg to Monougahela will start out. DIV. ENGINEER NOT PRESENT Division Engineer R. M. White, ow ing to pressure of engagements, was unable to keep his appointment and meet with the borough council Friday niglit for the purpose of taking up the matter of the old canal. A communica tion from the division engineer was read before council, which explained why he was not present as well a> the attitude of the D. L.and \V. Railroad company toward the canal nuisance. The communication caused some sur- j prise by asserting that the D. L.and | W. Railroad company does not assume j any responsibility whatever for the i condition the canal is in at present. It j was explained, however, that the D. , L.and W. R. R. Co. is willing to co- ' operate with the borough of Danville I as far as possible to remedy the pre sent conditions. In conclusion the div- j isiou engineer promised togo into the j entire matter carefully and as soon as j jKissible and also to arrange to get our 1 a definite set of plans for the work. ! He is willing to consider any sugges- ' tions that the borough may have to j make. On motion it was ordered that above ' communication be accepted and filed, j LEGAL ADVICE. A communication was received from I Borough Solicitor Gearhart advising | council that the borough should not ; attempt to exercise any control over | the old canal property or be the party | to the granting of any permits to in- j dividuals to dump ashes, etc., therein under any circumstances whatsoever. Council is advised that it is its legal | and clearly defined duty to simply in- i sist that the D. L.and W. R. R. Co. j as the owner of the old canal at once ! and without delay remove this con- ! stunt menace to the public health and comfort. The communication stated that a deed recorded in Montour coun ty shows that the D. L.and \V. R. R. Co. on Jan. :!. l'.Kll, purchased of the Pcnn'a. Canal Co. the abandoned can al from Nanticoke to Northumberland 1 for the sum of $75,000; that the D. L. 1 and W. R. R. Co. pays a regular an nual tax on the part of the canal lying i within Montour county on an assessed basis of $1,500; that since such pur- | chase said railroad company lias ex- j ercised an absolute ownership and ex elusive control over the old canal. MR. KEIM'S PROTEST. John Keim appeared before council to protest against the filling up of the canal at the upper end of the borough without making proper provision for draining. Any neglect in the matter I of drainage, he declared, would cause ' his brick yard to overflow and would j put him out of business. George Edmondso!) appeared before ! council asking that the opera house license for the ensuing season be fixed at the same figure as last year—sixty dollars. On motion of Mr. Cleaver it was so ordered. WILL ASK STATE AID. I. X. Grier, Esq., a member of the board of trustees of the hospital for the insane, addressed council on the subject of the public road lying be tween the macadam highway near the hospital, constructed by the trustees and Faust street in the borough of Danville. The above section of road, he declared, is in a deplorable condi tion. It should be made wider,he sai l; also that it should be macadamized. On motion of Mr. Finnigan the mat ter was referred to the committee on streets and bridges with instructions to see whether State aid can not be se cured. PAVING EAST MARKET STREET. I Charles P. Hancock, president of the Danville and Sunbury Transit com pany, was present to confer with council relative to the paving of East Market stret t between Pine street and | Cook's court. Mr. Hancock explained that if council would waive the single ! point of changing the trolley rail in use on East Market street lie would at I once unite with the borough in award ! ing the contract for paving assuming ! his proportion of cost. Mr. Hancock's ! proposition makes it possible to award the contract without the delay of sixty j days as provided by law. Council seein { I'd disposed to act favorably on Mr. Hancock's surest ion, but no definite I action was taken. LAMPS BROKEN. I Mr. Connolley reported that a num ! ber of electric light globes are being ' broken presumably by boys and he i thought a full investigation should be set on foot. Borough Electrician Smith i reported that the incandescent lights | are being interfered with in a similar : manner. There is a standing reward of j five dollars for the arrest and convic tion of persons found guilty of break - ' ing globes of electric lights. NEW LIGHTS, i On motion of Mr. Dentsch it was j ordered that an incandescent light be I placed on East Mahoning street at : Grove's court. On motion of Mr. Con j nolley it was ordered that an incand- I cscent light be placed on Green street I at the rear of Grove church. DANVILLE- }PA., THURSPAY. SEPTEMBER 23, 1909 SAND PROVES A DISAPPOINTMENT The work of hauling sand on the river bridge as a remedy to prevent horses from slipping when the wood paving becomes wet is not yet quite completed. Already, however,the sand is found to act badly and it is a ques tion with many whether sand is the best material that could be used. The county commissioners are every where applauded for the move they j have made. The application of sand is ' regarded wholly as an experiment and, if it is found to he of no practical ! value in preventing horses from slip- j ping, no blame will attach to the com- I missiouers. Logically, sand seemed to be the proper material to apply. But already several tilings have been learned. First, under the grinding process to which it is subjected by the wheels of innumerable vehicles the sand soon lie comes reduced to fine powder or dust; second, this pulverized substance is caught up by the wind and blown in every direction. There is not a minute of the day but the progress of vehicles over the bridge is marked by clouds <>f dust, which fly out over the river. When an automobile dashes across the bridge the effect is worth noting. | There is a dense cloud of dust, which i simply envelopes everything in sight | —vehicles on the driveway and pe- j destrians on the sidewalk alike. Judging by the effect of the wind on j the sand it is, indeed, a question j whether the quantity intended will lie I found on the driveway when the next i rain occurs. Philadelphians are felicitating them- I selves 011 having secured a wood pav- ! ing for Market street. It might be j policy to wait awhile anil see what ! remedy the resourceful metropolitans shall apply when their paving is com pleted—when the rains shall fall and they are brought to realize what they are up against. WEDDING A SURPRISE. Miss Blanche May Coxey and Mr j George Werle. both attendants at the hospital for the insane, were united in ! matrimony on Tuesday evening. The I nuptial knot was tied by the Bev. j Robert O'Boyle at the parsonage of j the Reformed church, Snnbury, at <1 j p. m. The bride and groom were at- J tended by Miss Annie Qucrrv and Mr. Charles Silver, also attendants at the S hospital for the insane. The marriage of the young couple j proved a great surprise to their friends at the hospital, as it was not known that they contemplated matrimony. j ONE-THIRD OF CROP. A farmer from Rush township, in | Danville yesterday, stated that in that section potatoes would not yield more | than one-third of a crop. Under the j circumstances it was his opinion that | the price of potatoes, which is now ! one dollar per bushel,will not fall.but t will rather rise as the season ad- j vances. A peculiarity of the potato crop this I season is that the potatoes are not j small in size, but as a rule are large. 1 Only one or two, however, are found . on a stalk, so tnat a large acreage pro- I duces comparatively a small yield. CASE OF APPENDICITIS. Mrs. Ella Brannen, widow of the | late Patrick Brannen of Exchange, was successfully operated on for apjiendie- | it is yesterday. The operation was performed at the i home of Mrs. Brannen at 12 o'clock 1 y Dr. Gordner of Exchange and Drs. Bruner and Shuman of Bloomsburg. Unless complications arise it is believ ed that Mrs. Brannen will rapidly re -1 cover. Her condition last evening was i 1 most encouraging. ! A rash tongue often makes a sail heart. The following members were pres ent: Sehatz. Finnigan. Cleaver, Pur -1 sel, Jones, Everhart, Deutsc.h, Mar shall, Curry.Coiiliolley and Von Blolin. j Chief Burgess Amesburv was also | Present.

Alden 8 18 .308 j Berwick 7 17 .202 j Those of us who like to be inside the : gates when the game is exciting cer tainly had an overflowing measure of i superlative agitation during the thir -1 teen stages of Saturday's 8 to 3 contest I between the rear and van guards of ' the Susquehanna league. The outpouring of enthusiasm grip ped everybody at the game and toward the end when the two teams were run -1 ning neck and neck, neither side able to gain an advantage, the infection of excitement spread to even the gray I beards and the ladies. Men with snow white hair counted one, two, three with the swings of Morris' bat and i the dear ladies, who are among the best patrons of the great game in Dan ville. went home to fry two baggers and strike outs for a belated supper. It was a case of over confidence that | was likely responsible for Danville not taking the game. The forecasters had ■ figured it out that Danville would have : a smooth voyage to victory, and as a ! result a shift was made in the line-up which proved disastrous. Berwick hav ing their three runs presented to them, all unmerited. But be it to the credit I of the Danville team, when they saw the game on the toboggan things j tightened up to such a degree that not ; again were the opponents allowed to tally although their determined and I aggrcsive playing a number of times gave tilings a hazardous aspect. In the field Berwick put up a game { worth going miles to see. By brilliant i work Savage's boys maintained their i lead until the sixth, when Danville | scored twice anil tied the game. After I that it was a blank for both sides for j seven innings. Twice Danville pushed j a man as far as third, but each time ! Berwick staved off defeat by retiring I rhe side before the plate was crossed. | Once, in the twelfth, Berwick got a I man on the third station, but jlie was I left to kick up his heels there while a I line drive to Coveleskie retired the j side. I Berwick played a dandy, first class I game. They were right out to win j from the start, and all the time every i man of the nine was on his toes. They | gave Danville one of the biggest sur ! prises of the season—all credit to them, j Blockus pitched a good, heady game, i Six of the hits made off his delivery } were made in the fifth and sixth in nings. The rest were scattered and availed nothing. For Danville, things broke badly. Especially the sixth. In this innings two singles, a two bagger and a three bagger and a base on balls could only be made to score two runs, when at least twice that number should have tallied. THAT AWFUL FIRST. The first innings, when Berwick scored their three, is most an awful hard luck story. .lust listen. Ash struck ! out, taking his third swing on a wild J pitch and reaching first. Moyer bnnt • ed in front of the plate and got first 1 when Amnierman failed to field the j ball in time. Fisher laid a slow one | down toward third base which went in the catalogue as a scratch hit. This loaded the cushions. While Morris wa.- ! at bat Rowe threw to Hess to catch Ash. the throw being wild anil Ash i scoring. Morris went out on a ground er to Umlanf. Blockus struck out but while lie was at bat a passed ball scored Moyer. With Savage at bat a pitched ball struck the front edge of the platt bounding high in the air, allowing Fisher to tally. Savage in the mean while took his base on balls, but tin carnage was ended by Evans sending one to Rowe and going down. After the first Berwick tried in vaii to score. Only one more hit did the> get and but once in the last twelvt PASTOR CALLED AT PINE STREET The congregation of Pine Street Lutheran church Sunday extended jan unanimous call to the Rev. J. H. j Musselman of Litchfield, 111. I The pulpit at Pine Street Lutheran ' church has been vacant since the res ignation of the Rev. L. \V. Walter, which took effect the last Sunday in July. In the interim several candidates 1 were heard. Sunday the pulpit was supplied by the Rev. I). B. Floyd. D. D., of Selinsgrove. At the close of the service Sun lay morning a congregational meeting was held. The church council recommend ed the Rev. J. H. Musselman. A vote was taken with the result that the Rev. Mr. Musselman was unanimously chosen as pastor. It is believed that he will accept the i call, although at what date lie may enter upon the pastorate can not be determined at present. Until the new pastor arrives the pulpit will be sup plied by the Rev. D. B. Floyd, D. D., of Susquehanna University, who preached Sunday. Rev. ,T. H. Musselman, the pastor elect. is thirty-two years of age and has a wife and one child. He is a graduate of Gettysburg Theological Seminary. He is a native of Gettys burg and has been at Litchfield for several years. He is a young man of promise and made a line impression on the congregation of Pine Street Luth eran church when lie filled that puplit recently. Accepted Position. Miss Jennie Lovett left yesterday for Canton, Ohio, where she has ac cepted a position in the physical train | ing department in the Y. W. C. A. Precedent is not always a righteous and a commendable thing. innings did a Berwick runner get be , yond second base. Danville, oil the other hand, kept getting better all the while. In 111«• second Ammerman gave place to Doo ley behind the bat. In the third in nings ••Peek" Rowe was hit in the I abdomen by a pitched ball and put out 'of th? game. After that Coveleskie | went into the box and Ammerman took j right field. In the fifth Danville made her tirsi tally. Doolev reached first on an iu -1 field hit. Metzler drove a hit into ! right field, and both were advanced a j base on Amnierman's grounder to first base. Hess drew a pass and the bases i were full. Livengood got to* first on | Convery's error, Doolev scoring and Metzler being caught trying to make j home on a pretty throw from riglr, | field to the plate. Catcher Morris j whipped the ball to first catching Liv engood and retiring the side with but one run. Again in the sixth Danville pulled | two runs out of the hole. Unilauf opened with a two bagger into center. : Coveleskie followed suit with a line to ; center which brought "Buck" home. ■ Coveleskie got caught olf first before i Thomas went down on a grounder to ' the pitcher. Mackert then drove the S longest hit of the game into left field ! for three sacks. While Doolev was at I bat Mackert scored on a passed ball. Dooley got a pass. Metzler drove a | pretty single into right, Dooley going jto third. Ammerman went down on a i grounder to short. DANVILLE. R. H. O. A. E.

John Costello was introduc ed into the office of the Christian min istry, constituted one of the most beautiful and impressive church func tions ever witnessed in this city. The altar was beautifully decorated with many lights and flowers. Morning prayer without music was said by the Rev. J. \V. Divides of St. Paul's at Bloomsburg. The ordination and the ceremonies connected with it followed at 11 o'clock. The service began with a procession of the choir, the candidate, the visit ing clergymen and the Bishop. The sermon was preached by the Rev. George \V. Atkinson, of St. Mat thew's church, Sunbury, and was a very masterly effort. The discourse was founded on St. Matthew. 11th chapter and 10th verse: "Behold 1 send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee." Only a brief synopsis of the sermon can be given here. The three great functions of a priest are first or chiefly to offer day by day the holy sacrifice of the body and blood of Christ before the face of the Eternal Father. Second, to declare and pro nounce to his people, being penitent, the absolution and remission of their sins. The third notable function of the priesthood is to bless in God's name both people and things for holy uses. The charge to the candidate was most beautiful. In part it was as fol lows: "You have served God in the Diaconate and now you hear his voice saying to you: 'Henceforth I call you not servant or deacon but I have called yoti friend; for .<ll things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Ye lave not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained vou, v> 11, . RKV. JO'iN COSTELLO. I tha" you i.l I g<» una br.ng forth fruit and that your fruit should re main; t!.,.' whatsoever ye shall ask of i th • Fisth'-riumy Name He will give it you.' "From this day forward Jesus Christ commits himself, both His natural body and His mystical body, to His priests. In the holy eucharist we have jurisdiction over his natural body, for | :it our word He comes t<> His altar uu- I der the forms of bread and wine and allows us to touch and handle Him i and give Him as the food of the faith | ful in holy communion. Our jnrisdic | tion over Christ's body mystical is ex | ercised in the .-aerament of penance, I where by God's command we bind or loose men from their sins. In the tri bunal of love and mercy we are acting as God's ambassadors and by His auth ority committed onto us we absolve the penitent frtin all his sins." The presentation of the candidate was made by the Rev. L. F. Baker. The litany was said by the Rt. Rev. James Henry Darlington.bishop of the diocese of Harrisburg. Then followed the celebration of the holy eucharist, during which, after the gospel, the | candidate was examined by the bishop, ! after which the bishop anil the priests present laid their hands on t lie candid ate's head and the words of the ordi nation were pronounced. The eucharist ■ proceeded. The music was most heauti -1 fully and impressively rendered bv a J full choir and consisted of Erye's mass i ill B flat. j John Conle\ Grimes of St. Mary's, Willinuisporf, acted a< the bishop's chaplain and carried the pastoral staff, i J. \V, Higgles of Grace church, River | side, was custodian of the bible. Le j Roy F. Baker,general missionary, was | also present. The Rev. John Costello, the pastor ordained, is a native of Australia, lie worked in home missions 13 years ago. I He came to this country ,"i years ago j and worked in the Ascension church, | New York, under the Rev. Walter E. i Bentley lie then came to this diocese ' and took charge of the church at Mr. | Carmel and Centralia for one year. He | was then sent by the bishop to the j charge of Northumberland, Riverside ESTABLISHED IN 1855 MONTHLY REPORT OF DISPENSARY The report of tilt, tuberculosis dis peu.iiiry of this city to the State depart ment. of health presents the usual in teresting array of figures and shows that little Montour is most admirably sustaining its warfare on the Great White Plague. No patients were admitted during the past month; neither were any dis charged. Thirty-four patients are un der treatment—fifteen males and nine teen females. There were no deaths. There were thirty-six return visits. In twelve there was an increase of weight ;in nineteen the weight re mained unchanged ; in three there was ajloss of weight. Only one patient was taking medicine during the month. The nurse made twenty-five visits. Seventeen patients received milk, of which 420 quarts were ordered. Fif teen ]>atieuts received eggs, of which 128! 3 ' dozens were ordered. The above figures bring home to one in a very forcible way the full extent of the ravages of tuberculosis. We would no doubt be much shocked to learn that we had in this district that number of cases of any other disease, even, if less fatal in form. Yet the above number represents only the in digent, those without means to pro cure proper food and treatment and represents in all probability not more than half the number afflicted with tuberculosis in this immediate vicin ity. DeHART IN QUARANTINE. There was a feeling of great dis quietude on the south side yesterday caused by the presence there, on Tues day, of "Friday" DeHart, the alleged diphtheria victim of Bloomsburg, who had fled from the latter place to avoid I quarantine. In one of the houses on the south side that DeHart entered, occupied by a relative, it was stated yesterday, there were severcl children and it is feared that the disease may develop in them. Our readers will be gratified to learn that DeHart is back at his mother's home safe in quarantine. From South ' Danville Tuesday he proceeded up the Pennsylvania tracks and when the sec tion crew returned from work they found him sitting along the track at Little Roaring creek. They spoke to him as they passedjbut he made no re piy. YesterdayJinorningJ the Bloomsburg board of health learned that DeHart was near the double track bridge jnst below the town, lie was apprehended at that place by Officer Fornwald and Constable Betz and taken to the home nt' ' is mother in Bloomsburg. The place was immediately placed under quarantine. On M> nday DeHart eomplaiued of having sore throat. Dr. Baker diagnos ed the ailment as diphtheria and notifi ed the secretary of the board of health, Pr. J. E. Slinman, who later concur red in the opinion that DeHart was suffering from a well-defined case of diphtheria. ; DeHart, however, insisted that he only had an attack of quinsy and left : his mother's house before the quaran '■ tine card could be put up. THE PLANET MARS. There has been much discussion about town during the few nights past over : a star of phenomenal brightness that appears in tin- eastern heavens. The j star far outshines any other star in the sky, which fact somehow has sug ' gested the theory that it is "an elec tric light that Mr. Edison has put up . in the sky. " | The bright star is the planet Mars. ! The reason why it is so bright just ; now is that it is nearer the earth than ! it has been since IKo2,being at present less than half the distance of the sun. j Some astronomers are of the opinion that Mars is inhabited like the earth. DEATH CLAIMS AGED MAN. | Daniel Messorsniith an old and well known resident of Montour comity, | died at his home in Lilierv township, about two miles from Milonsburg,yes terday afternoon. Death occurred after ja protracted illness of Bright's dis -1 ease. The deceased is survived by one son, John,who resides on the farm and one i brother Willi.m# of Washingtonvilie.
