Washington, D. C. A cow of the H. H. Komberger farm near Warwick, recently gave birth to triplets, the third case of this kind in Lancaster county inside of a month. The name of the progressive party has been pre-empted at Harrisbnrg by John R. Hart, Francis Wood, Fremont ] Bowman, Albert R. Redifer and Geo. j D. Cox. The organization will make a fight in the elections next fall. The crews of three trolley cars re sponsible for the death of as many persons in Philadelphia who had been arrested on the charge of manslaught er, were released from custody by Cor oner Ford when juries exculpated ; them from blame. To allow the bride to finish her term j of school in one of the country dis- J tricts near Ford Citv. the marriage of j Harry Smith, of Walk Chalk, and Miss Sophia Sell, of Dayton, which j took place last fall, was not announc- < ed until recently,when the schools had j closed. Dr. Samuel Andrews, superintend- j ent of the Pittsbug schools, was knock ed down by a street car in front of j Carnegie institute recently, and pain- ; fully injured. His body was bruised generally, his ankles being hurt the I most. He stepped from one street oar ; directly in front of another. Fortun- j ately his home was nearby and he was \ taken there. Elmer L. Shelter was struck in the 1 face by a meteor-like substance that : came through the air enveloped in 1 flame while he was riding in an auto ! at Williamsport. His wife and another | woman with them were blinded temp- j orarily by the bright light. His face ! bore marks similar to those caused by i hot ashes or sand. The phenomenon is j thought to have been static electricty, I due to the dry atmosphere. W. R. Roblin, who recently was left | a big fortune by a wealthy aunt, was ] found dead in the locked room of the ( Pittsburg house occupied by the aunt ! before her death. It is thought that he | committed suicide and this theory is strengthened by the finding of an eight ounce vial that had contained carbolic acid. A light that had been burning day and night for weeks aroused the j neighbors to such an extent that the search was made. With the flesh cooked from his bones, ! his skull crushed and an arm torn off, D. E. Kuhns, chief engineer at the Marianua mines, was found recently in the engine house. A fragment of a bursting fly-wheel struck the man and j broke two ten-inch steam pipes. In a I moment after the crash was heard, it I was impossible togo within ten feet of the building. The steam was turn ed oil at the boilers in another build- ! ing nearby and the engine was allow- ! ed to cool off. when the cooked body j was found. Peter Dorsheimer and wife, aged 1 residents of Lancaster, wore found j asphyxiated in their home recently. A gas jet was turned on lull tilt. The i jet was so loose that the wind could j turn it. Frank Fraucic, made despondent by loug years of suffering from tuber- j culosis, an inmate of the Dauphin j county almshouse and without friends or relatives in this country,committed i suicide by hanging himself to a sapl- j ing, where his body was found Satur- j day morning. The Wilkes-Barre Gas and Electric company, the Parsons Electric Light i company, the Anthracite Heat, Light , and Power company and the Wilkes- I Barre Heat, Light and Motor company | all have merged and will be operated | by the Susquehanna Railway, Light j and Power company. The latter con- j eern operates in many places and has j $20,000,000 capital. Captain of Detectives Souder, ol I Philadelphia, has started a crusade i against thieves and burglars, who j reaped a rich harvest while the street j car strike was in progress, and the { police were assigned to special duty, j Four important arrests and the recov ery of loot valued at $4,000 were the | results of Saturday's work in this line, j Uncle Sam ran up against a stumbl ing block in the City of Brotherly Love when his census enumerator went to the Chinese section to ask his ques tions. Only one interpreter could be found who would help out and lie re fused to work among the Hip Sing tong, although he was willing when the On Leong tong people were the ones visited. As a result the govern- | merit will have to look for a Hip Sing j who will act as interpreter for his poo- J pie and the census will have to recou- j nize the tong lines. The biggest and most important steel foundry plant in the United States will be erected at Trafford City by the Westinghouse people. The plans are being worked out and when they are completed contracts will be let and constnrction will start. COMMUNICATION FROM TRUSTEES Considerable time at the regular , meeting of council Friday eve was do i voted to the subject of river pollution, j interest centering on a communication from the trustees at the hospital for ] the insane received in reply to one | sent out two weeks ago relative to the i impurity of the effluent discharged i from the sewage disposal plant, j The communication states that the j purification plant was not. entirely : completed and in full operation until about April 4th,on which date samples of water from various points before, at and after leaving the purification plant were sent for analysis to the chemist at the State board of health. The result of the analysis shows the absence of any bacteria coli and an in finitesimal quantity of harmless bact eria. The trustees state that they believe there need not be any fear among the ! iesidents of Danville as to the impuri- I ties emptied into the river through the effluent; also that chemical purifi cation in which chloride of lime is used cannot be regarded as in any way harmful. The trustees suggest that should council order further tests the samples I to show comparison be taken from the : river above the mouth of the effluent; at the effluent, half-way between that point and the intake at the water works and at the intake of the same. The trustees also take occasion to correct a commonly accepted error — Jhat the water from the laundry does not pass through the purification plant. The only water course empty ing into the stream of effluent and nor passing through the disposal plant is the hot water from the boiler house and is the same as is furnished to and used by the hospital population. The communication was signed by the executive committee of the board of trustees, I. X. Giier, Esq., James Foster and Robert J. Pegg. On motion of Mr. Finnigau the above communication was accepted and laid on the table. A communication was read from Bor ough Solicitor Gearhart in reply to an inquiry concerning the dumping of ashes and garbage on the river bank within the borough limits. It was ex plained that this practice is in direct violation of the ordinance. On motion of Mr. Ileim it was ordered that no tices be erected forbidding the (lump ing of ashes, &c., on the river hank. It was ordered that a spot be selected for the dumping of ashes and garbage along the river six hundred feet east of the creek's mouth. On motion of Mr. Everhart it was ordered that the borough proceed to extend the sewer in the second*ward in accordance with the plans prepared by the borough surveyor, which will take in along with otheis the proper ties on East Market and East Front streets. On motion of Mr. lies it was order ed that the first quarterly appropria tion of $37.50 bo paiil to the four lite | companies of the'borough. I Mr. lies reported that a new roof is needed on the Continental hose house, although tempoiary repairs have been made. The matter was deferred for the i present. On motion of* Mr. Everhart it was ordered that five signs be prepared and 1 posted at proper points in order to compel automobiles in passing through town to observe the speed limit pro vided by the State law—twelve miles an hour. On motion of Mr. Marshall it was ordered that in Memorial park be raised on May Ist. On motion of Mr. Curry it was ord ered that plans and specifications be prepared and that bids be invited for the repairing and painting of city hall.

DANVILLE, PA., THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1910 ACCIDENT FATAL 10 MILES PENSYL | The iloath of Miles Pensyl, a widely ! known retired farmer of.Elysburg, oc j curred Monday morning at 1 o'elock !at the Miners hospital at Ashland, ' where ho was removed Sunday fore- I noon, following a driving acccident, near Elysburg, in which Mr. Peusvl ! sustained a fracture of the skull. ! The suddenness with which the hand of death was laid upon a strong man came as a great shook to the couimnn -1 ity on the south side of the river, where Mr. Pensyl was personally I known to almost every resident. Death followed an operation which was performed Sunday afternoon, a day after the accident. Mr. Pensyl did ! not regain consciousness. The exact cause of the accident which proved fatal to Mr. Pensyl will never be known. When he was thrown ! from his buggy the spot was obscured from the view of the only persons in i the vicinity by some buildings. Thoie are several theories as to the cause but they are entirely matters of conjec ture. Mr. Pensyl was 451 years of age on March sth. He was born near Union Corner and lived all his life in that vicinity. For a number of years he lived on his farm in Mayberry town ship, this county, and he was return ing from a day's work there when the fatal accident occurred. Seven years ago he removed to Elysburg, where he lias since resided. The deceased is survived by his wife and the following brothers and sis tres: Oliver, of near Elysburg; Gyrus, of Nanticoke; Emerson, of Shamokin ; Mrs. Sarali Ann Reeder, of Elysburg, and Mrs. Esther Hoover,of uearDeibl- | | er's station. The funeral will take place Thursday morning at 10:30 from the home. In trement in Pine Hill cemetery. Rev. ; Shannon will conduct the services. MRS. FLANAGAN Mrs. Catherine Flaanagan, with few j i exceptions the oldest resident of Dan ville, died at the home of her daugh ter, Mrs. I. T. Patton, Mill street, at j one o'clock Saturday afternoon. She | had been exceedingly feeble for some time and death was due to the infirm ity of old age. The deceased was the widow of Jos- ! eph Flanagan, who died sixteen years ago. Had she survived until the 10th of August next she would have been ninety years of age. She was a native j of Danville and spent her entire life ! : here. She was the daughter of Charles White, the brick manufacturer, whose brick yard was located between Mill j and Ferry streets on a tract now in tersected by the canal. Mrs. Flanagan witnessed many i changes during her long life. From little more than a village the town grew to its present dimensions. She was a member of the Methodist Epis copal church for fifty years and was one of the very few surviving who at j tended worship in the "Fort," as the first Methodist church was called—a ; primitive log structure—which prior |to 1840 stood on Church street some ! ! fifty yards south ot the stone grist ■ mill, which is still a landmark. So far as can be determined the deceased, i and Joseph R. Patton, were the only survivors who attended Sunday ! school in the "Fort." | Mrs. Flanagan was a consistent j Christian and a woman widely known ; and beloved. She is survived by two ; daughters, Mrs. I. T. Patton of this city and Mrs. E. R. Morgan,of Kings | ton. HOTEL SOLD i , The Montour house was sold Tues -1 day to Harry W. Geyer and Oliver P. i Rockafellor, of Sunbnry by Ernest N. ! Smith, of Chicago, who succeeded E. I !T. Linnard on the Ist of January, | 1910. j The deal was consummated through j the medium of W 7 . A. Clock, an ex tensive real estate dealer,of Bingham- ! j ton, New York, working in oonjunc tion with Arthur 11. Woolley, of this city. | The purchasers are men both well j known in this city. Harry W. Geyer ' is a widely known hotel man and is | one of the proprietors of the Central i hotel at Sunbnry. Mr. Rockfeller re- j | eently retired from a large bottling | business at Sunbnry. ! The hotel will be under the personal ! supervision of Mr. Geyer, who will take charge as soon as the papers are I delivered. It is the intention of the | new proprietors to make extensive re ! novations and improvements about the j property. Between 300 and 400 miners employ ed at the Donahoe Bros.' mine at Douahoe went on strike recently, add ing to the large number of idle miners ' | in the Greenshurg region. The brass j band processions of the miners still j keep on. | The untimely speech has ruined many a promising career. A WELCOME TO REV. J. L, YONCE ! The congregation of Trinity Luther i an church tendered a reception to the i new pastor. Rev. J. L. Yonce, 011 Sat j nrday evening. The affair was held J in the Sunday school room which, for the occasion, was tastefully decorated with flowers. Rev. Yonce, since cutu ! ing to Danville, has made many friends both in his congregation and outside, and there was not a chair in the room vacant. The members of the Danville ruinis terinui were present in a body to wel come the pastor. Rev. J. H. Mussel man 'made the first address of the even ing, welcoming Rev. Yonce as a broth er minister in the city. He was fol -1 lowed by Rev. James Wollaston Kirk, 1 who told the new pastor, among other i things, that Danville is a good field to work in. Rev. Samuel Fox then, as president of the miuisterium,extended to Rev. Yonce a cordial welcome and an invitation to co operate with that body in the work to be done here. Rev. Yonce responded in a few pleas ant remarks. He said in part: "A close interest should exist between pastor and people. The better the min ister knows his people, the closer he gets to them; the greater service he can be to them. To this end no op . portunity should bo neglected by the pastor to learn the needs of his peo ple." Rev. Yonce thanked all present for the cordial welcome extended him and assured the members of his con gregation and his brother ministers that he would at all times be ready and willing to co-operate for the wel fare of the people of his adopted city. After the rendition of a program, 1 consisting of vocal and instrumental selections and recitations, formality was thrown aside and those present extended a personal welcome to the 1 last or. As a fitting climax to the evening, the ladies' aid served refreshments. The following program was render ; ed; Piano Trio Misses Rishel, Haring & Kemmer. | Solo "I Think of Thee" Frank Brown. 1 Solo . "To the End of the World With You" Mrs. Gephart.

At a meeting of the bo:ird of direct ors of the Danville Athletic associa tion held last evening a few final ar | rangements were made and action tak i en to make a few repairs about the grounds, so as to have everything in tine shape for the tirst call of "Play Ball." Manager Simon K. Hoffman last | evening announced that he bad signed ' eight of the players who will represent Danville in the Susquehanna league this season. Four of last year's line up are on the list: Lawrence Dooley, M asser Mtekert, William Umlaut'ami Walter Llvengood. Of the new men signed, C. A. Nip ple, of Sunbury, is probably the star. His position is first base, but he has i played third. His record of four years j on the Buckuell university team and ! in other circles is of the fastest sort. 1 He is a heavy hitter, j Another new man is George Kelly, | of Locust Dale,who caught last season for Ashland, anil who played in that | position with his team in Danville last j summer. | A. C. Hagy,of Mifflinburg,first sack jor and outfielder, is another recruit. | Joe Veitli, of Mt. Carmel, third base j man, who has been having a try out on the Lancaster Tri-State team this spring, was signed by Manager Hoff | man yesterday. In the way of pitchers Manager Hoff . man is going slow, determined to se- I cure the best. As yet no twirlors have j been signed, but several are in view, j The players have been ordi red to re | port here for practice on April 27th j and the opening game of the season ; will be played on Saturday, April 30th with Wyoming seminary, of Kingston. BUILDING BRIDGES The Nelson-Meredith Bridge com -1 pany of Chambersburg has sent four j expert bridge men here, who, assisted ,\>y some workmen of Strawberry Ridge . are engaged in constructing the new ! county bridge at Corner's. 111 a few days the construction gang will begin work 011 Sochler's bridge. , Maust's bridge will be built imniedi -1 ately afterward. | Knowledge is of far more value than self-assurance. SIGHS WILL BE POSTED HI ONCE j Automobilists have not boon slow to avail themselves of (lie provisions of the act of April 27, 11)0!), which per- I mits them, unless signs are erected, to ! maintain a speed of twenty-four miles ! an liour. In passing through Danville, | especially over the paved street be tween the river bridge anil the Dan ville Milling Company's plant, with few exceptions the auto drivers in the matter of gpead claim all that is com ing to them and whizz through town at a 24-mile-an hour clip, even if they do not exceed that limit. At the last meeting of the borough council it was decided to invoke the aid of the law to keep the speed down to a safe and reasonable limit. Notices will be prepared and posted at once. To comply witli the law the uotices will have to be posted on the streets where the speed is to be kept down. Each board must contain the words: "Danger—Run Slow," the letters to be five inches in height and plainly legible. A member of the ooiincilmanic committee on streets and bridges, which lias the work in hand, Saturday explained that the notices will be erected immediately, one at the ent rance to Mill street at the northern end of town; one at the river bridge; one near the borough line on Bloom street ; one 011 Northumberland street and an other at the eastern end of town on Market street. Where these notices are posted the law provides that the speed may not ex ceed the rate of one mile in five min utes, or twelve miles an hour. All incident which occurred 011 Mill street Saturday evening well illust rates the recklessness of some auto drivers. The 4:3:5 D. L. & W. passeng er train, west, was approaching the crossing just as an automobile dashed in from North Mill street. The gates were being lowered and were nearly down. Pedestrians had fallen back to give the train the right of way, when the automobile at undiminished speed dashed on toward the crossing. The gatemau, of course, hail his eye 011 the crossing and knew nothing of the approaching auto. The next mo ment there would have been a crash as the machine struck the level gates,had not a gentleman with rare presence of mind sprang into the street and threw up both his arms. At this signal the gateman quickly reversed the crank and the gates were raised a few feet, when the automobile dashed through underneath. Almost at the same mo ment the train rolled by. PUSHED AUTO 4 MILES The Shamokin Dispatch says that: "Farmers residing near Danville 011 Sunday afternoon had the pleasure of witnessing the amusing sight of dis heartened Shamokin autoists, whose machine had broken down and who were compelled to 'foot it ' "On Sunday morning George Met/, and Jesse Croninger secured Mathias Orouinger's auto and took a 'joy ride 1 or rather intended to, to Danville. "They had proceeded about IS miles 011 their way,when the machine broke down and the two men with their com panions were compelled to look for temporary quarters for the machine. "They found a barn at last, but it was four miles from the scene and it was necessary to push the disabled automobile the entire distance,follow ing which the party were compelled to trudge to their home in Shamokin JIS miles away,through the rain and mud. The companions vow never again to accept an auto ride invitation." FOOT BADLY BURNED Orvil Moyer, (he youngest son of 13. G. Moyer, West Mahoning street, who has been employed as an apprentice in the moulding department of the Dan ville Stove & Manufacturing com pany for a short time, had his right foot severely burned Tuesday after noon. Moyer was waiting his turn at the cupola for a ladleful of molten iron when he accidentally stepped 011 the side of a ladle filled with the liquid on the ground behind him. 111 an in stant the vessel, which has a round base, tipped, pouring the greater por tion of the contents, about foity-flve pounds,over his right foot. Moyer ran about twenty feet when ho succeeded in kicking the shoo from his foot. He was assisted into the Stove Work wag on and driven to his houio. 111 spite of the pain the injured man bore up bravely, whistling on the road home. The injury was dressed by Dr. New baker. It was found that while pain ful the injury is not as serious as was first feared. The whole upper part of the foot is burned but luckily the toes, and bottom of the foot escaped. It will likely be several months be fore Mr. Moyer will be ablo to be about. The world is pretty nearly what we choose to make it. SHIED MEETING OF PRESBYTERY The 199 th stated meeting of the Northumberland Presbytery opened in the Mahoning church at 2:80 o'clock Monday afternoon, thero being a good attendance, j After a prayer by the moderator, the j Rev. Dr. W. T. L. Kieffer, I). D., of ! Milton,the roll was called,after which i a moderator and reading clerk were elected. For moderator the names of the Rev. i James Wollaston Kirk, the Rev. Dr. i William Hansom, of Mt. Carmel; the Rev. Dr. Thompson, of Lewisburg; and the Rev. J. W. Erny, of Potts grove were placed in nomination. Mr. Kirk very urgently requested that his name be dropped as a candidate,owing to the multiplicity of duties devolv ing on him during the presbytery. On motion Mr. Kirk was excused. The Presbytery proceeded to ballot when it was found that the Rev. Dr. Hansom had twenty-two votes con stituting a majority. He was according ly declared elected and took his place as moderator. The Rev. .T. 11. Gregory was elected Reading Clerk. The Report of the Committee 011 Ar rangements was made by the Rev. James Wollaston Kirk, pastor of Mah oning Presbtyeiian church. It was prefaced with some appropriate re marks, in which Mr. Kirk extended a warm welcome to the visiting clergy men and laymen, explaining to them that the present is the 125 th year of Mahoning church's existence; also that Danville is historic, being the town in which the first T rail in America was made. Mr. Kirk made some recom mendations relating to the order of business, which 011 motion were ad opted by the Presbytery. At this juncture the Rev. P. Gould, of West Pittston, associate secretary of the Pennsylvania Bible society, was introduced. Mr. Gould explained that he was present to re port that an affiliation had been ef fected between the Pennsylvania Bible society and the American Bible so ciety; that the latter has made an ap propriation to take care of the Penn sylvania society and that henceforth all money raised for Bible societies must be contributed to the American Bible society. The minutes, embracing the stated, adjourned and special meetings of Presbytery for cix months were very voluminous and were read by the Rev. J. D. Cook, of Renovo, 112 irinerly of Danville, who has filled the position of stated clerk of the Northumberland Presbytery for some twenty-five year.*. The Rev. W. R. Preston is permanent clerk. The congregations at Beech Creek and B.ild Eagle extended a call to the Rev. A. D. Bateman.Ph. D., of Bash er Falls, N. Y., the former offering a salary of S4OO and the latter a salary of ftiOO together with use of the manse. Mr. Bateinan being called upon de clared that he was willing to accept, after which having satisfactorily an .s we red all questions he was formally received into the Presbytery. Two other churches extended calls, but these got no further than the Pres bytery where they were declared in valid owing to the fact that the cleu'y man who officiated as moderator when the calls were extended was not a member of the Northumberland Pres btyery. The two churches involved were at Trout Hun and Lycoming Center. The pastor called was the Rev. W. D. Ilevner of Sunbury. When the meeting was held for the purpose of oailing Mr. Hevuer, the Rev. A. P. Mershon of Philadelphia, who had been officiating as pastor of the churches for a year, consented to act as moderator. There was doubt among the mem bers as to whether this was legal and a discussion ensued during which the matter was thoroughly threshed out, the chair rendering a decision to tiie effect that for a clergyman not a mem ber of a Presbytrey to officiate as a moderator in it is to act in violation of Presbyterian law and the call was accordingly declared invalid. On motion it was decided that the Home Missionary committee hold its meeting in Williamsport 011 May (ith. On motion the Rev. Dr. John D. Koehne, who delivered a series of lectures in this city recently was made a corresponding member ot the North umberland Presbytery. A feature of the evening session was an able sermon preached by the retir ing moderator, the Rev. Dr. W. T. L. Kieffer. The sermon which was found ed on Matthew 2.')—2:!, was an appeal for Presbyterial missions and made a strong impression. During the evening special music of a very high order was rendered by the choir. The narrative of the state of relig ion in the Presbytery was prepared by the Rev. Joseph C. Fields of Muncy, who unfortunately was unable to be present at the mooting. In his absence the narrative was read by the reading clerk. Continued on 4th Page. ESTABLISHED IN 1855 OPINION AND ORDER OF COURT | A session of argument court was | held Monday forenoon with his Hon ;or Charles C. Evans, anil Associates Frank G. Blee anil Hon. L. W. Wel liver on the bench. Argument on the exceptions to the ; report of re-viewers in the Limestone i township road case, which has been before court for some years past, oc ' cupied an hour and a half. Hon. H. M. Hinckley, who represent ed the exceptions,addressed court first. He took up the exceptions one by one explaining his position and charging errors fatal to the proceedings. Among the points emphasized weie the following: After the report had been set aside there was no road to review. An er ror arose from using an old petition, which was 110 longer alive. A new petition should have been drawn. There can be 110 review on a road con tinued absolutely as was the road the re-viewers reported against. The re-viewers were not properly appoint ! ed. The petition for re-view was made too late—after three terms of court had elapsed. The draft of the road was not properly made, being an old draft, of a different road, showing 011 the face of it that it was made months be fore the reviewers were appointed; therefore, it was not a part of their proceedings. Lastly, the report of the re-viewers was not made at the next, or March, term of court, when a con tinuance should liavo been asked for under the circumstances existing. The above errors.Mr. Hinckley held, Were fatal and urged that the report of the re-viewers be set aside. Hon. It. S. Ammerman opposed Mr. | Hinckley, taking the ground that the I entire proceedings were within the 1 sound discretion of the court. No new petition was necessary. The court | merely referred back to the one filed February 1, li'OS, which is still in the hands and under the control of the ! court. The court took the papers in the case. The case of Joseph H. Hay lor vs. Mahoning township was also argued, ,E. S. Gearhart appearing for the plaintiff and William Kase West for the defendant. Mr. West insisted that the case is one that demands trial by jury. In this case the court also took the papers. Judge Evans handed down an opin ion and order of the court in the case of Commonwealth vs. John Beyers, in which the charge were threats, neg lect and lion support. The cases were I heard together, Marcli 10th. ! The opinion states that as viewed by the court neither the husband nor j the wife is perhaps wholly to blame. They have unfortunate and unhappy ' differences and both parties are at fault. It is the duty of the defendant to support and maintain his wife and minor children in keeping with their station in life. At the same time the wife and grown daughters should like wise work for the welfare and best in terest of the family. We find as a fact,the opinion states, > that the defendant has within the , meaning of the act of April 13, 18t>7, neglected to maintain his wife and children though continuing to reside under the same roof with them anil lias also threatened to do the wife | great bodily harm. The defendant therefore is adjudged guilty. ■ And now, April 18, 1910, it is ord ered and directed that the defendant, i John Beyers, pay to his wife the sum ;of four dollars 011 Saturday of each and every week, the fir>t payment to :be made on Saturday, the 23rd day of April, 1910, and to enter into recog ; uizance with good and sufficient se- I curities in the sum of two hundred dollars conditioned to comply with this order and keep the peace especial ly towards his wife and family, the costs to be paid by the defendant. ; By the court CHARLES C. EVANS, P.
