Railroad company has ordered a series of promotions to go into effect immediately, which af fect among others the towns of Kings ton, Danville and West Pittston. Odd ly enough, in each of the above-men tioned changes a Danville,or a former Danville man, receives promotion. George W. Eggert will take the posi tion of freight and ticket agent in the station at Kingston, lie will bo suc ceeded at Danville by Thomas W. Ir lnud, son of James M. Irland, the photographer, for the last five years station agent at West Pittston. Mr. Eggert, promoted from the Danville station, at Kingston will succeed Wil liam C. Farnsworth, formerly of Dan ville, who has been promoted to the station at Binghamton, N. Y. In each case the change carries with it a material increase of salary along with enlarged responsibility. Each of the men promoted have been tried by tho company and found to be call able and reliable. Mr. Eggert has been at the Danville station eight years, prior to which he was station agent one year iit New Milford on the main Hue. How well he performed the duties of his position is amply attested by the promotion he has received. During all this time his relations with the public have been uniformly pleasant. Personally, it is only just to add, there is no more popular young man in Danville than .Mr. Eggert. Both Mr. Farnsworth and Mr. Irland learned telegraph operating at Dan ville and have earned their promotion by faithful service. Mr. Farnsworth was station agent at Kingston for five years. WON'T CLOSE SALOONS Depaiting from a custom adopted three years ago by the county court, tho associate judges of Columbia coun ty on Saturday refused to sign an ord er requiring all licensed liquor dealers to close their places of business on j Christmas day. The order had been written and signed by President Judge C.C. Evans,but when Associate Judges Yeager and Krickbaum were asked to sign they refused. The associate judges believe the li quor dealers are too heavily taxed and that they should have the option of keeping their places open or remain ing closed every day in the year ex cept Sunday. In Northumberland county, by the court's order, all saloons will be clos ed.

CHESTNUT TREES ARE THREATENED A chestnut blight has struck the trees of this State and a large portion of them have been totally destroyed. If the blight spreads next spring at tho same rate it did last summer, half of the trees in the State will be lost. When the blight passes over a grove it looks as though it had been swept by fire, or as though lightning lias struck the trees. Mr. N. W. Snyder, of Northumber land county, who lost half of his trees on a tract of 85 acres, wrote to the forestry commission, describing the appearance of the trees. He was ad vised to have all the trees, or at least the parts affected, burned. The atten tion of Dr. Surface, State economic zoologist, will be called to the blight, in the hope of finding a remedy. The letter from the association is in part as follows: "As regards the chestnut trees, it may le that the trouble is due to the Chestnut Blight, a fungus disease which was first reported several years ago in Long Island, and has caused immense damage there, and in New- York. It can best be described as fol lows: It causes patches of the bark to die by attackinhg the cambium and other soft tissues of the bark, and ex tends in all directions until the branch or trunk is girdled. This leads to the death of the parts above the girdling, and in this way, if the main trunk is attacked, the entire tree may be kill ed. "The disease attacks the bark on the twigs, branches and trunks with ont respect to thickness. The affected bark blackens, is somewhat shrunken and after a time is apt to be covered with projecting brown or orange or green ish-yellow covered bodies, which are about 1-15 of an inch at the base,often long, twisted or curled, and taper to a slender tip. This disease has spread all through Eastern P( nnsvlviinia, attack- ing chestnut trees, and the Bureau of Plant industry, at Washington states that it also has been noted on chestnut oak. This may possibly be the disease which is the enemy of your timber. "Prof. Surface, the State Zoologist, says he can see no encouragement for checking or controlling this disease, but a widely known nurseryman has reported that he has been able to check the disease in an orchard by using i plain Bordeaux mixture applied in strength according to general condi tions at the time used." Mr. C. K. Sober has an immense chestnut grove in Irish Valley. If this is struck by the blight, the loss will j be enormous. $40,000 Fire at Pittston. The clothing house of B. Oppeu lieimer & Son at Pittston was destroy ed by fire Sunday morning. Loss esti mated at $40,000, partially covered by insurance. It is claimed that crossed electric wires caused the conflagra-, tion. Will Miss Their Free Turkeys.

HARDSHIP ON RURAL CARRIERS The practice of many patrons of the rural tree delivery routes, of placing coins in their mail boxes for postage on letters which they deposit at the same time, was made the subject of a letter issued by Fourth Assistant Post master General P. V. DeGraw and re ceived recently by Postmaster W. L. Gouger, of this city. The letter, in part, is as follows : '' From a recent count made by rural carriers in one of the counties in the State of New York of coins deposited by patrons in their boxes for the pur chase of stamp supplies, it was found that each carrier in the county was collecting an average of 15 one-cent coins each week. This average applied to all the routes in operation through out the country would give the enor mous total of about 300,000,000 one cent coins. As most of these coins are deposited loose in the boxes, it is desirable that you and your rural carriers, in a tact ful and polite way, put forth your best efforts to induce patrons to pros vide themselves with stamp supplie in advance of their needs,and to equip their boxes with suitable coin holding receptacles. It should be explained to patrons that the picking of loose coins from the boxes not only results in needless hardship and suffering to car rieis in winter weather,delays the de livery and collection of mails, but fre quently results in actual money losses to the carrier,for if,in collecting coins from boxes, they drop them into the snow or unto the ground without re covery, they are required to replace the amount out of their own funds. FUNERAL SATURDAY Mrs. John \V. Rombach, whose death occurred in Baltimore, Mil., Wednes day,was consigned to the grave in Mt. Vernon cemetery on Saturday after noon. The body arrived at South Danville on the 2::il Pennsylvania train, the funeral proceeding directly to the burial ground. The body was accom panied by John W. Horn bach, husband, William J. and John S. liombacb, sons, Misses Sara and Catherine Horn bach, daughters of the deceased; W. Jesse Faux and Misses Francos and Ida Faux. I Tin' services at the cemetery were conducted by the Rev. Samuel Fox, pastor of St. Peter's Methodist Epis copal church. The pall bearers were: Peter Startzel, .T. 15 Laidacker, P. J. Burger and Elias Woodruff. SCRAMBLE FOR COLONELCY The order making the reorganization : of the National Guard of Pennsyl vania, to conform with the Dick bill, 1 scarcly made a ripple on the surface j of military affairs in this city.

THE DARK TOWN BAND OF MILTON Chief-of-Police Mincemoyer, iu whose hands were left all matters re lating to a special train for New Year's day, ou Thursday met the officials of the P. & R. Railway and a schedule was agreed upon. It was arranged that the social should leave Milton at 1 p. in. ; West Milton, at 1:10; Pottsgrove, 1:22; Mooresburg, 1:32; Mausdale, 1:39, ar riving at Danville at 1:48. Returning the special will leave for Milton at 1) p. m. The people of the rural districts re membering the brilliant achievement of last Now Year's are very mcuh in terested in the mummers' parade and many have indicated their intention of being present. The special train on the P. & R. will prove convenient for those living between Danville and Milton and for that reason it will no doubt fcring iu a very large conting ent. It was learned from the president lof the association yesterday that as j was the case last year some of the | most unique features of the parade I will come from the conutry. Anthony j township, with the Exchange band, j will send in an especially large con j tingent. In addition to the four musical or ganizations—the Catawissa, Northum berland, Milton and Exchange bauds— , already engaged, there will probably Ibe other music. One of these prospec- J tive organizations, neither last nor i east, will be the "Darktown Baud" lof Milton. The committee is negotia | ing with the latter band and it is bc ! lieved that it can hi' procured on rea- I , i l souable terms. I The bands already engaged will cost I approximately three hundred dollars, but the public has not been uiggardlv j in subscribing funds anil the commit- I tee realizes that nothing is too good j for the gieat parade and in the matter of bands it may as well go a couple better. • One important circumstance relating j to the formation of the parade should ■be brought before the public. On pre j vious occasions the pageant started ou i East Market street. In the tedious waif j incidental to the formation the mum ! mers were obliged to stand out in the j cold. This was not much of a hard ship to the mail or hoy made up to re | semble an ox or a polar bear but it I was little short of distressing to the. poor fellow masquerading as a woman j and probably a "summer girl" at that, j The feminine draperies of various sorts proved a poor substitute for the heavy i men's clothes to which he was ac ! customed. 1 The parade this year will start from ; the northern part of town and it has ! been arranged to have not only the i armory but also the Continental hose house thrown open for the use of the mummers. Both of these buildings will tie heated and about the time the parade is forming—whether the wait ! be lnng or short—all will have all op \ portunity to be in the waim. I Mrs. S. Joyce, Claremout, N. H., | writes: " About a year ago I bought j two bottles of Foley's kidney Remedy. It cured me of a severe case of kidney j trouble of several years standing. It I certainly is a grand, good medicine, land I heartily recommend it." Sold by Panics & Go's. Pharmacy. Hiring More Men. j The business on the railroad has in creased to such an extent that ,if Uas i been n.t>;c>aary. to hue,nu(t'i,wnen,«t t.be ' railroad 'dUctfs in this | plaee. The freight traffic is so heavy that j although the regular crews arc worked j to the limit us governed by the Hi hour | law, it has been found impossible to I get tlie freight oyer the road proprolv | unless number of extra men are hired, and immediately, put to work. Due to these prevailing conditions a number of men whose names have been on the waiting list for positions, were sent for today by the railroad officials and were hired auil put to work. All the railroad men will draw the old time big pay checks at the January pay. Surely, Old General Prosperity has returned.—Sunbury Daily. Married at Harrisburg. , Harry B.

AGED WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH A terrible accident occurred near Turbetville during Saturday night in which an aged woman, Mrs. Margaret Garrett, lost her life by burning to death. Mrs. Garrett resided with her son at Lewis Center, two miles from Tur botville. During Saturday night her | son was aroused by the smell of smoke, I and following the fumes to his moth er's room, he found the chamber en veloped in a cloud of smoke and al most everything within charred by the flames which were still smouldering. On the bed, the body burned badly from head to foot, lay Mrs. Garrett, dead. The woman had evidently got ten up to light a caudle, which she kept in the room, when in some man- i ner that could not bo explained, the fire was started. Mrs. Garrett was aged 81 years. She was the widow of Isaac Garrett, and a woman widely known and highly esteemed. She was a sister of David Watts,of Washingtouville and of James Watts, of Comly. SHIPPING IN WHEAT The high mark for wheat establish ed Saturday—sll6.per bushel—has caused the usual stir among local deal ers. It was especially felt on the south side,where Haney and Frazier's flour ing mills are a factor, in addition to the circumstance that large quantities of wheat are shipped from jtliat point. What makes the situation unique on the south side is the fact that while dealers are shipping from that point Haney & Frazier are shipping wheat in. Since June sth, this firm has shipped to its mills thirty-nine cat loads, equivalent to 39,000 bushels. All this wheat has come from tiie north west, the greater part of it from Dul uth. During the same time, in addi tion, Haney and Frazier have used 9,- 700 bushels of winter wheat. The capacity of their mills is two hundred bushels every twelve hours Some of the flour finds its way to the New York markets, but the greater part of it goes to the coal regions. SELINSGROVE LOST Before a small crowd in the armory on Saturday night, the City League picked team of Danville players won I from the Selinsgrove Collegians by a | score of 31 to 13. It was till Danville from the. first j toss-up to the last; the Selinsgrove i hoys didn't even have a look-in.
