It is probable that the state will build a narrow gauge railroad from Mount Alto to the Wliito Pine sanitar ium. While she had crawled part way nil- j der a coal wagon to pick up fuel to use iu warming her six children,the driver started the team and crushed the life out of Mrs. Lizzie Posiiak, aged 44, of South Bethlehem. If ttieir baby had not cried, William Hesell, his wife and their two other children would have been burned to death when their liouse near Ford City was destroyed with all their belong ings. Judge Wiltbank, of Philadelphia, iu passing a two year's sentence on Charles Wilson, a negro, for killing Claude Williams, also colored, praised the lawyers for not trying to free Wilson by bringing in the "unwritten law." Williams is said to have been unduly familiar with Mrs.Wilson. One year's extension of time has been granted to the Mouca aud Aiu bridge Street Railway company, whose franchise for rights through Mouaca and Moon expired on December 1. s The railway offieals have assured the bor ough and townshp officials that work will commence in the near future. A potato weighing twenty-two ounc es and of freakish formation, was raised the past season by Martin Hass ler, of Perry township, Berks county. John Hay, of Girard township, Erie county, lis dead, the result of being 6hot by a chicken thief. Tuesday night he heard a suspicius sound in his chicken coop and arming himself j went out to investigate,his wife going ! with him. Wheu he reached tue corn er of the chicken house a thief shot him and ho died at noon Wednesday. At York Wednesday, Eli Spangler.a contractor, took the place of the reg ular driver of the Good Will Are en gine in responding to an alaim of fire. Tho horses got beyond control, and when the steamer rounded a corn er he was thrown from his seat to the street and his head was crushed. He was 50 years of age. The lire was trifling and was extinguished before any apparatus arrived. Two hundred and fifty foreign lab orers at the Colonial steel works at Colona, after striking for an increase of fifteen cents a day, beat up two of j their bosses. Assembling near the works they threatened tiiose who re mained at work and the officials. Sheriff Hartzell and twenty deputies went to the scene of action. William E. Adams, of Charleroi, was shot, probably fatally, it is al leged, by Thomas L. Kinney. No rea iion is given for the shooting. Adams, who is superintendent of the Charleroi plant of the Macbeth-Evans Glass com pany, was shot on his way to work and walked to the factory and then homo, after the accident. It is alleged that there is a shortage of 91,100 in the accounts of Mrs. Tru man Campbell, postmistress of Cam mal, Lycoming oounty. The office is QOW iu charge of F. F. Bouucll, one of her bondsmen. The woman has dis appeared audit is thought that she has gone to tho mountains to escape arrest. Her husband has advanced S4OO, all the money ho had, to cover part of the shortage. "Joe the Leopard Boy," famous years ago as one of the freaks of P. T. Barnum.was killed by falling through a trap door recently at Pittsburg. His real name was A. E. Bishell and he j was brought from Africa. Peculiar sjKitS, which faded as he grew older, gave him his name. John Warren and Thomas Filbren, who reoontly pleaded guilty to the charge of breaking into tin- New York Central station, entering the railroad tool house and breaking into the Jer sey Shore post office, were sentenced each to a maximum of twenty years, and a minimum of five years' impris onmont in the eastern penitentiary, as well as a fine of S2OO. Joseph Man ton was given a maximum of ton years aud a minimum of two years and six months and a fine of SIOO for the same criino. Ho would not admit his guilt Those who frequent the rooms of Pittsburg harbor No. 25, Masters and Pilots,were thrown almost into a pan ic when one of them happened to see under the stove a thing which was thought to he a bomb aud they rushed from the room expecting the thing to explode. Thou somebody wanted to put the Are out aud some excited per son threw the contents of the water cooler on the stove, the resulting steam causing such a cloud to arise that auother general exit was in or der. An examination later proved the horriblo machine to be part of an old battery. A DESERTER ISJPSTED Michael Goodlavage, whose parents live at No. 10 Sycamore street, was arrested in this city Saturday evening charged with being a desserter from the army. Good lavage's alleged desertion oc curred over a year ago and notwith standing that the usual printed circu lars containing the photograph and a minute description of the man wanted were sent out. and posted by the gov ernment yet he managed to escape de tection until a week or so ago. A cir cumstance whioh aided him ill keep ing in the dark was undoubtedly the fact that his parents are foreigners and live in an out-of-the-way quarter sel dom visited by anyone but people of their own nationality. The alleged de serter speaks English well, but his parents can talk only in the foreign tongue. Chief Mincemoyer was promptly notified of the desertion by the mili tary authorities over a year a go. Goodlavage evidently know that the local officers were looking for him, as well as the fact that circulars contain ing his photograph had been sent out over the country. He does not seem to have remained very long at one place and it was this constant moving about that undoubtedly enabled him to elude arrest so long. It is remarkable that it was Good la vage's own actions prompted appar ently by his fear of detection that filially betrayed him into the hands of the officers. The portrait of the deser ter printed on the circular was a fair ly good one, the features being pretty firmly impressed on the mind of both local officers. They frequently visited Sycamore street but it was not until a week or so ago that they caught a glimpse of anyone who seemed to sug gets the alleged deserter; that he was the man wanted was pretty clearly in dicated liy his own actions. He was in the habit of making sudden turns to avoid meeting the officers face to face ;once when unexpectedly con fronted by Chief Mincemoyer he took off his hat and hid his face by seeiu lilg to be studying the number or something else ou the inside of the crown. On Saturday evening the officers de cided to search the Goodlavage home on Sycamore street at an hour when they had hopes of finding the alleged deserter there. Simultaneously Chief Mincemoyer entered the front door and officer Voris the rear door. The mail wanted was seated at the supper table with his parents. He offered no resistance and was led from the house and handcuffed. While ou the way to prison he acknowledged his guilt to the officers. He was kept iu jail until last evening when he was taken to Washington, D. C., by Officer John Grier Voris and delivered into the custody of the military authorities of the government. Michael Goodlavage enlisted June 15, 1908, and was a private in Com pany L, 6tli Infantry. It is alleged that he deserted at Fort Missoula, Mont., November 12, 1908. At enlist ment he gave his ago as 21 years and nine months, and his residence as No. 10 Sycamore street, Danville. ESCAPED IN NIGHTDRESS Fire completely destroyed the resid ence occupied by Mrs. Harriet Girton, and owned by her sou Perry, located about a mile north of the Twin hills, between Danville and Bloomsburg, at about one o'clock Tuesday morning. Nothing was saved from the building, not even Mrs. Girton's clothes, she escaping in her night dress. She is aged 70 years and lived aloue. The lire originated in a flue, which had not been cleaned for some time. When the flames were first discovered by Mrs. Girton, they had gained such headway that t lie woman had to leave the place very sparingly clothed, as stated. She is now living with her daughter, Mrs. William Hunt, near the scene of the fire. The house was a two-story frame structure and the loss is estimated at s2OOO. Whether therejis any insurance mi tiie property could not be learned. Surprise Party. A pleasant surprise party was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer I FenHterinacher, near Buyer's school liouse, in honor of Mrs. Feusteruiach cr's birthday.

DANVILLE-}PA., THURSDAY. DECEMBER 9, IHO9 MONTOUR HOUSE CHANGES HANDS The Moutour house, ono of the olil- | est ami most widely known liostelries of this section, has again changed hands. Unfortunately the name of the purchaser is not known in Danvi lie, although the fact that the sale has taken place is established beyond a doubt. During the summer and autumn E. T. Linuard, the late owner, lias been absent from Danville the most of the time. On Saturday morning a letter from him was received by William G. Kramer, clerk at the Montour house, in which it was explained that a sale had been effected, the hotel, stock, fixtures and all passing out of Mr. liinnard's hands. It was stated that the new owner, whose name was not given, will take possession of the pro perty during the present month. Mr. Linnard stated that he will bo in Dan ville in a few days, when of course, all tlio facts relating to the sale will be made known. The Montour House is famous as the hostelry owned by our deceased townsman James liiehl from the year 18(10 until his death, which occurred on November 5, 1908. Mr. Linnard purchased the Montour liouse from the James Riehl estate January 14, 1901, ami remained in possession of it until the sale above noted. It has always been considered a desirable stand, the price paid for it by Mr. Linnard being $22,500. In addition he assumed the license for the house, which amounted to some |3OO more. A bit of earlyhistory relating to the Moutour House from Brower's history of Danville will be read with interest in this connection : "The Montour House is a large hot el opposite the courthouse. It was originally built by General Daniel Montgomery, who kept a store in the | corner room. An orchard extended j from the building up to Ferry street. Boyd, Colton and Donaldson also kept store there. In 18:S4 it was first ojiened as a hotel by Samuel Brady, who gave it the name of "Montour House." In 1846 G. M. Shoop purchased the property and subsequently the house was kept by W. G. Gaskins,Cornelius Garretson, Smith, Kramer, Kirk and Jones." K. G. E. ELECTION Montour Castle, No. 180, K. G. E., held its regular election of officers on Monday evening and chose the fol lowing for the ensuing term: Noble chief, John F. Henniug; vice chief, Ralph H. White; high priest, Bruce McCracken; venerable liermit, Geo. W. Robinson; keeper of exchequer, P. M Herrington ; clerk of exchequer, John G. Vastine; master of records, L. S. Foust; sir herald; Claude Grcenman ; trustee, Win. B.'Hauser' Lafayette S. Foust was chosen repre sentative to the Grand castle which meets at Gettysburg from May 12tli to 14th, 1910, with Herbert Hendricks us alternate. At present there is no castle of the Knights of the Golden Eagles located in Gettysburg, but it is with that end iu view that the grand body of Sir I Knights will journey to Gettysburg | iu May, 1910 and go into annual ses- j ] sion with the largest Gland castle j convention in the history of the order ! I with the hope that it may create en- | ! thusiasm tending to inspire the resi dents of that historic town to organ j ize a flourishing castle. DRIVEWAY SLIPPERY ! | The sand hauled onto the driveway | of the river bridge to prevent horses ! ! from slipping nearly all blew away j I during the long driugl t. Tue day 1 the woodeii blocks under the rain were 1 nearly as slippery as at any time last j | summer. | Different views are held as to the 1 | efficiency of sand on the creo-resinated : blocks. The dust on the driveway be j comes a great nuisance and many per ! sons condemn it, while others think j that it is just the tiling and that the j county commissioners ought to give | the bridge another coat so that the I public would have the benefit of it j during the winter. Rev. John E. Miles. The Kev. Johu E. Miles, pastor of | the Scotten Avenue Baptist church, Detroit, Mich., is spending a few days in Danvillo, where I.was tailed ly j the serious illness of his mother, Mis. Frank Lee Miles. Mr. Miles is a na j five of Danville and is one of our young men, the success and brilliancy i of whose careers reflects credit on our town. President James McUrna, of the Penuslvania railroad,for the first time in many years, took charge of a train at Philadelphia on Monday. A cylind er head on the locomotive broke and j he took full charge of the train until j it"was ont of the road of another train I and was sent on its way. BUTTER SHORT J[ WEIGHT Pursuant to the provision of section 15 of the borough ordinance Ohief-of- Polico Minceraoyer Saturday morning made an inspection of the weights and measures used in the curbstone mark et. Not only wercjsoales found short but a large quantity of butter on sale was found deficient in weight. The borough odinance requires the market master to make an inspection of all weights and measures used i u the curbstone market a least once a month. If the weights and measures are found short, the ordinance pro vides that they shall he seized and for feited. For the second offense the of fender shall be arrested and prosecut ed according to law. It is not known whether the ordi nance pertaining to the monthly in spection of weights and measures has been strictly observed or not. But when the officers made the inspection Saturday morning they found a rath er unfortunate state of affairs. No less than fifteen scales wore found to weigli short. This discovery led to the reweigh ing of the butter offered for sale. The same state of affairs was found to ex ist, the butter showing a deficiency of half an ounce to one and a half ounces in weight per pound. In most instances the vendors were very much embarrassed, as they were honest people and their scales with long usage had gone uad without the owners knowing it. In this connect ion it is worthy of note that in several instances the butter on sale overran an ounce or a fraction of all onnoo in weight. A few of the people who had butter short in weight on sale, the chief re ports, were slow to realize the posi tion they were in and were disposed to argue the matter with the officer. To such lie quoted section 10 of the ordinance, which provides that all butter or other articles exposed for sale in the curbstone market pretend ing to be of correct ascertained weight and given measure that may be defic ient in these respects shall be seized by tlie clerk and j sold for the use of the said borough. In 110 instance, Saturday, did the chief show any inclination to enforce the ordinance [by confiscating either scales or butter, although he made it very plalu that henceforth no leniency will lie shown and that butter fouud short in weight along with the scales on which it was weighed will be seiz ed. Mr. Deutsch, chairman of the com mittee on Market, at the meeting of council Monday eve presented a report of the above explaining what the chief of police discovered in the way of short weight. On motion of Mr. Curry it was or dered that the chief of police bo in structed to eoufiscate all goods offer ed for sale in market hereafter that may be found deficient in weight. THREATENED TO SHOOT 11. U. Miller, a well known resident of Snydertowu,was defendant in Just ice Shipmau's court at Suubury Sat urday morning, being charged by Harry Snyder, a Sunbury liveryman, with threatening to shoot him. It seems that the men had words in a blacksmith shop iu ISHHI and had not been friends since. Thursday of last week while out driving Snyder stopped in front of Miller's place at Snyder towu and a war of words ensued. There was cursing and bail language by both parties and finally Miller went into the house ami appeared with a shot gun. Snyder and his witnesses alleges that Miller threatened to shoot him, while Miller and his wife swore that ho was only going hunting. Justice Shipmau was of the opinion that botli parties were at fault and suggested a settle ment but Miller couldn't see it that way and the justice required hiui to furnish bail for court. DR. KLEIN RESIGNS HARRISBUItU, Dec. 8. Considerable surprise was created on capitol hill last night by the an nouncement that Dr. Low is A. Klein, deputy State veterinarian, had resign ed to accept a chair in the veterinarian | department of the University of Penn- j sylvania. It was also announced that T. K. Munce, of Washington,had been i appointed to succeed Dr. Klein, the latter removing to Philadelphia at once. Dr. Klein will follow the late ; Dr. Leouarcl Pearson in the veteiinar -1 ian's chair at the univeristy. Warren Aggas was perhaps fatally burned at Butler on Tuesday. His one hand was bandaged with a turpentine I saturated cloth, and the bandage | caught fire from a match which he had struck to light a cigar. Before the flames could be extinguished he was j burned about the head, arms, hands and much of his clothing was ruined. THE SOLICITOR REIKOPINION Proceedings at council took a rather sensational turn Monday eve when the members denied the right of the wat er commissioners to purchase coal for the water works and nullified a year ly contract that the board had entered into with the Philadelphia and Read ing Coal and Iron Company. An opinion from the borough solic itor was read as to whether or not the water commissioners have the legal right to enter into a yearly contract for furnishing coal to the Danville water works. The opinion questioned very seriously whether the water commissioners liavo any such right, the solicitor explaining that in his opinion since the borough council, which appoints the water commission ers, pays the bills incurred in the maintenance and operation of the wat er works, it at least should have some voice iu the purchase of important supplies. The above opinion was brought out by the fact that two of the board of water commissioners had entered into a yearly contract for coal with the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company. Ou motion of Mr. Everhard, second ed by Mr. Jones, it was ordered tliat the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company be notified that the borough council will not recognize the contract entered into with it by the water commissioners and that coal shipped here under said contract will not be paid for by council. The secretary read the "following communication relative to filling up the canal: Dear Sir:—l beg to acknowledge yours of the 24th with clipping from the "Morning News"in regard to the drainage proposition. Kindly advise Burgess Amesburv that I will make an appointment to meet him at as early a date as possible togo further into the matter. In the meantime I would be pleased to have a blue print of Mr. Reefer's map showing propos ed method of taking caie of the drain age. Yours truly. K. M. WHITE, Division Engineer. It was tho sense of council that the borough ought not to bo obliged togo to the expense of getting up a blue priut requested by Engineer White, especially as there is no drawing of Engineer Reefer's survey. On motion of Mr. Curry it was or dered that the D. L. & W. Railroad company be notified to abate the can al nuisance, beginning work 011 the job in three months' time. On mofion of Mr. Curry it was or dered that tlio borough solicitor be di rected to protect the interests of the borough in the application to the court by the county commissioners to fix the liability for the support of William Sileox and Caroline Filliug er, insane criminals in the State hos pital for the insane at this place, up on the borough of Danville and Ma honing township. Borough Electrician Newton Smith presented his report for Nov ember. The municipal light plant was in operation 889 hours. Eighty-seven tons of coal at $2.50 per ton, were , consumed. The total cost of operating the plant was $104.86. Secretary Patton read a communica tion from Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, State commissioner of health, acknowledg -117 the receipt of the plaus and spec ifications of the sewer system aud tho sewage disposal plant sent to Harris buig last week. Burgess A. ('. Amesburv appeared before council explaining that the skating rink is in arrears for license and that tho owner disputes the bor ough's right to collect a license fee. On motion of Mr. Curry it was or dered that the ehief burgess be re quested to collee' , license of ten dol lars per month, eluding arrearage, from the owner the skating rink and that he be em nvered to close the place in case payra nt is refused. A communication was received from Edward 11. Wertman, tendering his resignation as fireman at the water works. On motion the resignation was accepted. P. J. Keefer, supei iuteudent of the water works, recommended .Tames Gibson for the position vacated. On motion of Mr. lies Mr. Gibson there fore, was elected as fireman at the water works to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Wertman. The following bills were approved for payment: BOROUGH DEPARTMENT.

Co 50 INSANE BECOME i HEAVIER BURDEN As a result of a decision made by the auditor general of the State the various counties making up the dis trict for whose insane the hospital at Danville was established, in stead of paying $1.75 per week to that institution for the support of their criminal insane, henceforth will bo obliged to pay $4.25, the full cost of maintenance. This 1.25 per weelj. The additional bill received was for t!io amount due the hospital 1 at $3.50 per week, the difference be tween #1.75 per week, the amount already paid, and tic full cost of ' maintenance, which represents what was heretofore paid oy the State to be applied to the support of our in sane. At the close of the quarter ending December 1 and regularly thereafter the bills for all criminal cases from this and other districts in the State, now at the hospital, as well ;is those that may be committed hereafter, will j be charged at the rato of $4.25 per week and a bill for that sum will be sent to the couuties. Montour county has three criminal insane patients at the hospital—Will iam Silcox, Caroline Fillinger and Clarence Carr. As is shown by the proceedings of the last session of the borough council the county commis sioners are preparing to resist the sad dling of the cost of maintaining these onto the county, holding that under the auditor general's decision the Danville and Mahoning Poor district is liable for the support of the above named patients.

It will be j observed for eight days. I This festival is a joyous one and is marked by the exchange of gifts and a feeling of general good will. The cele j brat ion consists of the lighting of candles, one 011 the first night, two on the second and so 011 until on the eigtith night, eight candles are light 1 ed. This is becaus- of the fact that when the priests commenced the |. cleansing of the temple but one lamp was found burning, the oil in which i miraculously lasted until messengers ! sent for oil had returned, which was eight days later.
