STATION AGENTS
STEPJPWARD
The D. L. & W. 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.
On account- of several costly wrecks
that ate deeply into receipts, the Le
high Traction and the Wilkes-Barre &
Hazleton Railway companies will not
give turkeys to their 150 men this
Christmas. Turkeys have been given
the employes for the past ten years.

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. What |
happened, so far as the Twelfth regi- j
nient is concerned, is just what has |
[ been for many weeks predicted and j
the Twelfth had settled down to an !
attitude of waiting. Until Colonel
Clement is appointed to command the
brigade,making a vacancy in the com
mand of the regiment, the Twelfth \
will move along in the even tenor of
its way. The election fox colonel pro-1
niises to develop a ban! light.

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.

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.
Danville started with a rush anil
scored the first goal in less than a half
' minute after the game started, and
had netted nine tallies before the vis
iting five had made a point. At the
end of the first half the score stood li)
to 7 in favor of Danville.
In the second half the homo team
scored 12 points to the visitors' 0, mak
ing the total score 31 to 13.
The work of Winners, the swift lit
tle forward was deserving of much
praise; he made 15 of Danville's 31
points, having 5 baskets and 5 fouls to
his credit.

THE FINAL
CROP RETURNS
Wednesday's government report of
the, cereal crops of 1009, are practical
ly final and while the figures are little
changed from those previously given,
they are reassuring, Mint for another
year at least there will be no dearth
of food products,only as the trusts and
speculative or gambling interests
"corner" or create artificially high
prices. The enormous territory of 200,-
000,000 acres is the area harvested in
190!). These figures include wheat,
oats, corn, barley, rye and buckwheat.
The yield represented, as a result of
the harvesting operations, amounts to
4,687,000,000 bushels. The farm value
of corn harvested this year is estimat
ed at $1,652,832,000, as compared with
$1,010,145,000 last year. All wheat
harvested is estimated as worth at the
farm $730,046,000 compared with SOIO,-
826,000 last year. The farm value ot
oats is jilaeed at $408,174,000, as against
$381,171,000 the previous year. Hay
is valued at soß9,34s,OOO.against $035,-
423,000 last year. The summary of re
sults has scarcely been made in our
own hemisphere before the beginning
of the harvest, in Argentine and Aus
tralia makes it necessary for th«» trade
to count on the effect of yields there
upon the stocks in store here.

ENGINE DESTROYS STATION
Wasting no time in the ordinary
hand labor method of tearing down
buildings the old union freight station
of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad and the Philadelphia
and Reading railroad, at Rupert, was
destroyed on Monday morning in a
novel and much more rapid manner.
A big Philadelphia & Reading loco
motive was hitched to the depot by
long chains and ropes, and pulled it
down. Getting a good start the loco
motive had milch power in its pull
when the rope and Chains went taught,
and the old station was jerked off its
foundations and pulled, it oil a pile of
debris alongside its former site.
