VOL. 56 —NO '25 ITEMS CONDENSED. Carbon county expects a huckleberry crop this season that will surpass any in recent years. Park Patton, of Washington, Luzer ene county, recently sustained a brok en arm when he was struck by a bat ted ball. The first summer bathing accident report comes from Union City, where 12-year-old Herbert Holden was seized witli cramps while swimming and drowned. John Allison, aged 7, told his play mate, John Sugars, also aged 7, that he could stand in front of a Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg engine on a trestle at Pnnxsutawney longer than he, and they tried it. When he start ed to jump, he slipped and was crush ed to death. John A. Gettig, of Braddock, who was to have been married to Miss Meua Anderson, of Essen, disappeared recently, on the eve of his nuptials. He started for his tailor's to obtain his wedding suit and has not been seen since. The guests who were assembled for the happy event dispersed on re ceipt of the news. Relatives are heart broken. The deserted fiance thinks that her intended has met with foul play. Her opinion is that, after being beaten and robbed, he was left to die in some lonely place. He was a young man of exemplary habits and had talk ed for days about his approaching mar liage. The presence of mind of Miss Alice ,T. Kiljiatrick, the principal, probably saved the lives of many of the <V?O students in the Michael Arnold public school, Philadelphia, recently. Two boys who had played truant climbed up an enclosed fire escape and threw down a railroad cap. Every window in the rear of the building was shat tered and and dense clouds of smoke came out of the place. The pupils were I thrown into a panic and would have j made a rush for the open air, only Miss Kilpatrick had presence of mind . enough to pull a bell, which signal made them form in rank.J Another teacher went to a piauo and played while tiie students marched out. A i policeman saw the culprits, Russell I Price, aged 12, and Roland Robley, | aged 13, and arrested them. Not one | of the students in the school was over I 14. I So damaging was the testimony re- j cently given at Wilkesßarre against j five election officials of the Warrior run district, who are under arrest on i the charge of election frauds, that j Judge H. A. Fuller, at the conclusion j of the bearing, increased the amount of their bail from SSOO to .SISOO each, t and they now will be held to await j the action of the next grand jury. Two | members of the board are said to have | admitted that some men credited witli j voting were not at the polls.on elec- j tiou day. .Tohn Stinson, the youngest of the board, is alleged to have con fessed that he wrote on votes not only j the names of some of those men who j were not at the polls, but of some dead j men, also. He says he acted at the j dictation of other members of the I board. It has not been decided yet j whether or not to throw out the vote j of the district. If the vote is declared | null, the nomination of McGeever for j the democratic legislative nomination j will vanish and Shannon will receive j tiie honor. Burglars recently participated in j three desperate outrages in towns near | Butler. Entering tliefhome of Lemuel I Hindmau, at Branchtown, by jimmy ing a window, thieves chloroformed j Hindman anil his wife,an aged couple, ! and ransacked the house,securing sll. Chloroform was used also at the home j of Simon Duffy, agent for the Bessem er and Lake Erie railroad at Harris ville, where burglars placed Duffy,his wife and two children under the in fluence of the drug, then took .*lO. •James Pryor, of Branchtown, heard a knock at his door shortly before mid night and went to see what was want ed. He was kuocked down by a man and, after recovering, grappled with the intruder. In the end the burglar fled. S. M. Milligan, representative of a tobacco company, was fined $8 recent ly by a New Kensington justice for spitting tacks. He was in the habit of tilling his mouth with tacks before starting to fasten up a sign, it is said, and would draw them out as he needed them with a magnetic hammer. When he was through all the tacks that re mained in his mouth he would spit out. J. L. Crytzer,an automobile own er, objected to this latter action and brought charges. Examiner J. A. Noeckei, appointed by the court to investigate alleged election frauds in East Norwegian township, Schuylkill county, in the election of school directors, where the majority of the Republican nominees were returned elected, says in his re port that there were so many illegal votes cast that by turning them ont the Democrats will have the entire victory. BOROUGH TAX EIGHT MILLS The borough council held a regular meeting Friday night. President J. B. Cleaver being absent, James Connol ley, was elected president pro tem. Among those present were Messrs. Curry, Marshall, Heim, Everhart, Price, Von Blohn and Dietz. On motion of Mr. Everhart it was ordered that the tax rate remain the same as last year—eight mills. The agreement submitted by the D. L. & W. Railroad company relating to the carrying of the borougli sewer through the railroad company's right of way was read before council and on motion was approved and ordered to be executed by the borough offic ials. S. F. Ricketts appeared before coun cil bearing a petition from property owners just beyond the town limits in Mahoning township asking that the borougli extend its water system east on Bloom street as far as the culvert. The signers were as follows: S. F. Ricketts, W. W. Diehl, Ralph R. Rit ter, William Sidler, M. P. Scott, Mrs. Agnes Hauck. On motion of Mr. Everhait it was ordered that the request of the peti tioners be granted and that the water main be extended to the culvert as soon as practicable. On motion of Mr. Cuny it was or dered that repairs be made on Cross street; also on Railroad street oppo site the grounds of Castle Grove. On motion of Mr. Curry it was or dered that a gutter be constructed on Kline street along Memorial park in order to convey the surface water to Center street. On motion of Mr. Everhart it was ordered that Petriken alley, east of the park, be cobbled. A request for a sewer extension on East Front street was referred to the committee on sewerage. | Mr. Everhart called attention to the fact that the signs relating to speed are not properly erected ; also that the wording does not strictly comply with the law. On motion of Mr. Everhart it was ordered that tiie signs be repainted to comply with the act; also that their position be slightly altered. The following bills were approved for payment: WATER DEPARTMENT. Regular employes $153.50 | People's Coal Yard. ... 75.83 j Friendship Fire C 0.... 8.88 BOROUGH DEPARTMENT.

Murray Klep fer, 'ot Milton, a former pastor of Trinity church will attend the picnic and make an address. The Voracious Cormorant. llow a cormorant dives for sea trout and gets them is told by a writer: "I had the cormorant under observa tion only for the space of four or live minutes, find during that short period it bad captured four sea trout, all of i considerable size. After being under water for a few seconds the bird | would reappear with a sen trout wrig ■ gllng In Its bill. But In spite of the ' victim's desperate efforts to escape it was deftly swallowed, and after a few gulps tbo cormorant would resume its fishing operations. One of the sea j trout gave it considerable trouble, how ] ever, for the fish struggled violently I for some moments, but was deftly placed so that its head pointed down Its captor's throat, and thus its own j struggles assisted the bird to swallow 1 It. After a time tbo cormorant raised Itself In the water, flapping its wings vigorously, as though to help It pack \ away its heavy repast, and then rose j heavily and winged its way up stream." Thunder For Passion Play. Frofessor Herman Scliultz of New ark, N. J., bas sjieut the wiuter on Nauvoo Island, in Long Island sound, making phonographic records of thun t der and other storm sounds. It Is I Bald that the records are for use In j the Passion play at Oberammergau ' this year. DANVILLE, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1910 THE ORGANIZED ADULT CLASS Tlipi contest between the two divis ions of the organized adult Bible class of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal church is closed and the Whites have won out. Carrying out the terms of the contest the White division served refreshments Saturday night, the de feated Reds acting as waiters. On the occasion there were excellent music and some of the most spirited ad dresses ever heard in Danville. In the lecture room two long tables were, spread capable of seating sixty persons, which were filled several times. The decorations consisted of red roses and wild flowers. The re freshments served consisted of ice cream,cake,strawberries and excellent coffee. The serving devolved upon the defeated "Reds", but the wives of these came to their rescue and in a room apart dished up the eatables, the men acting as waiters only. The lat ter to be in harmony with the color scheme wore red aprons. They were , a busy lot during the evening and j kept the tables plentifully supplied. While refreshments were being serv- i ed music was rendered by the Orpheus Glee Club consisting of Dr. Stock, Irvin Yannau, Dr. Kay Herriugton, George Lunger, Harry Titley, Leonard Fonlk, Frank A. Brown, C. C. Ritter, John L. .Tones and Carl Suavely. Music was rendered also by the Man dolin Club consisting of Charles Pren tis and Fred and Albert Smedley. The * music, both instrumental and vocal, was much enjoyed. The organized adult Bible Class of j St. Paul's now numbers 18,"> and is the largest male Bible class to be found in this section. The unique and enjoy- | able event, Saturday night, therefore, j was not without a special significa tion. The Kev. G. S. Womer, teacher of the class, led in the addresses deliver ed with some appropriate remarks re lating to the movement. Irvin Vannan, superintendent of the Sunday school at St. Paul's, followed with some earnest and practical re- ; marks relating to the building up of j the main body of the Sunday school. He explained the methods adopted at j Coatesville where they jiavo a Bible class of two hundred and where j through its agency new recruits are j constantly being brought into the Sun- ' day school. Mr. Vannan is in favor of I organizing an adult Woman's Bible class and lie explained to the men what they could accomplish in the I movement by prevailing upon their wives to join. The Kev. ,T. H. Musselman, pastor j of Pine Stieet Lutheran church, made ! a most excellent address. The Piui' i street church has an organized adult Bible class of large proportions, also. Mr. Musselman, who has eutered ; heartily into the spirit of the move ment, congratulated St. Paul's on its j success in organizing the largest class ! in this vicinity. He, however, pointed out some dangers and explained how they might be averted. After all, he said.it is a manly thing to engage in rhe service of a Bible class such as this. It is difficult to be manly these times. We are beset by more temptations than were our lath ers. Greater work we can not do than !to reach out and gather into church ! the men who are walking the street on | Sunday. All we need is to have the men on the side of truth and the fut j ure of the church is secure, j Now that the monster Bible class has been formed the speaker declared that the real work begins. Unless a | great amount of personal work be done i it may prove harder to keep the class together that it was to build it up. i The members must not only keep up | their own znal but they must make it a point to look after each other. Creasy Not Out For Congress. "Farmer" Creasy is out in a state ment today in which he states he will not be an independent candidate for congress against John G. McHenry.the Democratic and Republican candidate. Creasy had been strongly urged by Democratic leaders throughout the district to make an independent fight, but has announced his retirement from the political arena after serving *lO years as assemblyman from Columbia county. Sons of Veterans Convene. Wilkes-liarre, .June 22. —The conven tion of the civic body of Pennsylvania division. Sons of Veterans, opened in the Luzerne theatre this morning at II o'clock. Mayor KnifFen delivered the address of welcome, which was re sponded to by several of the visiting delegates. Dr. Sherqian Smith presided at the morning session. Two Others Arrested. Two other young'fellows implicated in the disgraceful ptoceedings near i Memorial park Monday night were ar- I raigned before Justice Dalton last even ing. They paid fine and costs.

Unlike J Friday's t! to 0 game, how - W ever, the Nans put Satur i & _ day's victory in their bag iJSt 1 only after the hardest kind j of work. I On Friday it was a Mr. Herbert ' Kootz, a former Alleutown boy,whose home is now in Kingston, who was ' responsible for Danville's runless | score; Saturday Manager Fisher put his portside artist, Jenkins, from good ness knows where, on the slab, and allowed the Danville batters to again | demonstrate their antipathy to south j paw flingeis. i During the first eight and two-thirds I innings Jenkins had pretty much the \ entire team mystified,and did his best execution when Danville showed run getting propensities. With two out in the eighth Manager Fisher sent Kootz into the box to finish the game, and aided by a double in the ninth,he was able to keep the game in hand when j things began to look as if Danville might have a look in. 1 Wagner and Liveugood had the swat j market cornered, bingling three and two respectively. These with other causes put Danville runners on bases lin six of the innings, but the failure i to hit when swats meant scores kept the kettle from boiling over. , For Danville Ainswortli pitched a good gftme, holding the heavy hitting Nans well in control in 11 except the second innings when four of their ,»veu hits were bunched to result in three runs, which as it proved was enough to hang the game up to dry, although tliev did tally an extia one ! in the ninth for good measure. I Danville's nearest chance to break ing up the game came in the second, just after the Nans had tallied thrice. \ Wagner led off with Danville's first | hit and was followed by Hagy's strike out. Wagner went to second and Veitli I got his station on Shemanski's error. Wagner stole third and Veitli purloin ! Ed second while Mackeret was getting ! four balls. Wit', that brililant per formance and the sacks all weighted the bleachers began to speak of scores ; and things, but no use. Kelly stood for tlire ■ strikes and Ainsworth laid a grounder to Sliemanski and went down. In the third Livengood was left oil I base after his hit. In the fourth and 1 fifth but six men were up. lii the sixth Danville not her first j tally when just a little hitting would have mean more. Livengood opened j with a hit to right but was caught | stealing second. Nipple got a base on balls and went to third when Wagner hit to center. Nipple scored 011 Hagy's scarifice fly, but the innings ended with Kelly's strike out. In the eighth Danville scored her other run. Jenkins issued his third pass to Umlauf who stole second and this while Livengood flied out to right field ami Nipple struck out. Buck then scored on Wagner's third hit. At third point Kootz went into the box and retired the side by fanning Hagy. In the nint-h Veitli got first on Sec ond Baseman Murray's error. Bren nan, batting for Mackret, drove a grounder near the second bag, Reilly, Murray ami Walsh completing a 1 double. With that over Kelly made the ; last out of the gaino 011 a pop to third. | Unlike Danville Nantiooke made the most of her chances to score when the I chances occurred. Her first chance came in the second when Walsh opeu [ I'd with a single. He was forced out at second a moment later on Murray's j grounder to Livengood. Reilly then ! hit to left and Payton hit to right i scoring Murray. Davis fanned, but j Jenkins followed with a two bagger j to the tune of which Keilly and Pat -1 yon camo marching home.

COMMITTEE OF ARRANGEMENTS Unless all plans miscarry, short as is the time that intervenes, Danville this year will publicly celebrate the ! Fourth of July. A citizens' meeting was held in council chamber last night, at which a general committee was ap pointed and arrangements made to get down to work immediately. Chief Burgess Amesbury was chosen chairman. P. M. Gotwalds was elect ed secretary. A committee of arrangements was appointed consisting of the following persons: T. J.- Price, W. A. Sechler, W. (J. Pursel, M. H. Schram, Dr. G. A. Stock, Irvin Vannan, D. N. Dieff enbacher, Alex Foster, Sam A. Mc- Coy, J. C. Mincemoyer, W. V. Ogles by,'Robert B. Pursel, John Jacobs, J. B. Cleaver, Will G. Brown, Charles P. Murray, W. C. Williams, Ira Ever liart, J. R. Sechler. Dr. Stock explained that the Orpheus Glee Club has already taken up a num ber of selections appropriate to Fourth of July observance and lias entered upon rehearsal. The program for the observance will embrace beside the chorus an oration in Memorial park and a fine display of fireworks in the evening. There will probably be other features including an automobile parade. AUTO RUN Some twenty-five automobiles be longing to Shamokin on a run from that place to Berwick passed through this city between 10 and 11 o'clock | yesterday forenoon, i The procession of automobiles flying | the Shamokin pennant aroused a good I deal of curiosity, as, with the excep j tion of a few autoists, no one in Dau ' ville seemed to know much about the ] run. It was 10 o'clock when the path 1 finder passed through town.at the cor ner of Mill and Bloom streets scatter | ing bits of paper on the ground to i mark the way. The autoniobilists did j not run close together, in a few inst : ances being naif a mile apart. ! It was a free and easy run and seem | ed to be without any other object than j to reach Berwick by noon, where din ! ner had been ordered at one of the ho j tels. The machines without exception | were valuable ones well-filled with ! occupants, about half the number be ! ing ladies. Each of the autoes flew a j couple of red pennants bearing simply the nam.- ' Shatnnkiu." No attempt I was made to establish records or to test endurance. The automobilists won ! the esteem of our citizens by their slow running while passing through town and the studious manner in | which they observed all the rules of | the road. The sixteenth car had the misfor- 1 tune to puncture a tire in entering Danville and was held up awhile foi repairs here. NINETY-SIX DEGREES 4 The hot wave still lingers with us. ' At 4 -.30 o'clock last evening the ther- j mometers at the Montour house regis- j tered '.)(! degrees, which was about the j same as at the same hour on Tuesday. | Twilight last evening brought little j relief aud the night was the hottest ; that we have yet experienced. The men in the iron works suffer in- j tensely aud in many instances are un- 1 able to continue woik. Elsewhere the heat has produced J many fatalities. Up to last evening in ! Philadelphia there were sixteen dead j from heat prostrations. Men and wo- ! men exposed to the sun's fury dropped j by scores in the streets. 111 Chicago last evening thirty-one ! deaths were reported as the result of j the heat wave. / Miss Weiss a Bride.

RAIN SCORES ROWDYISM William L. McCollum, president of j the Susquehanna league of base ball [ teams, has addressed an open letter to , the board of manager, of the league calling attention to and deploring the growing tendency to rowdyism on the part of both players and spectators at league games. The subject which President McCol lum rightly speaks of as a menace to the popularity of the game on the Sus- i quehanna league circuit, was treated in an article of less length in The Morning News several weeks ago. President McCollum's letter follows : Wilkes-Barre, June 20, 1910. To the Board of Managers of the Susquehanna League. Gentlemen : At the opening of the season the president issued instruc tions to the umpires on the necessity of suppressing rowdyism, vulgar and profane language and senseless and un warranted kicking. Copies of these in structions were also furnished manag ers for the information of managers and players. As this action was in the line of en couraging the attendence of respect- j able and decent people to your parks and solely for the good of the game it would naturally have been supposed that as a matter of self-interest, if for ' no other cause it would have met with the hearty co-operation of the manag- j ers. But this seems to not be the case. Despite the fact that the league has a capable and intelligent staff of um pires that would be creditable ,to a more pretentious organization, these men in the line of their duty have been sujbected to abuse by players j during games and by insultß and j threats of personal harm after games j by spectators who have been misled | by the unwarranted kicking of play ers. It has reached such a pass that j cajiable umpires object to going to certain towns and if allowed to con tinue will prevent the league from se curing competent men to act as um pires. For instance, last week in an emer gency umpire John Walsh, a capable honest official with professional train ing in class B leagues consented to work. His work at the Bloomsburg- Danville games was so uniformly sat isfactory that he was commended on , all sides. Yet at the game at Nanticoke oil Friday, June the nth, though umpire j Walsh did first class work he was sub jected to a vile insult by player Bren nan, of the Danville club. The remark was of such an offensive character that any man with red blood would resent it, which Walsh dill, and the game was marred by an inch!' ii! that nearly developed into a The president of your lutgue was present at the game in qu-stion and is satisfied that umpire Walsh uuip :c<i 1 as nearly a perfect and impartial game as could be expected of any one. The incident in question occurred at the plate with Brennan at bat. He disputed a strike and a moment later when fin- j ally awarde 1 a base oil balls, instead of goiug to first base, turned and griev ously insulted the umpire by calling him a vile name. Foi this action player Brennan of the Danville club is fined $2 and is notified that a repetion of the offence will subject him to an indefinite sus- ; pension. At the game played at Bloomsburg j ! on June 17, a dispute arose over the ! adjudication of a base play by umpire : Yerrick. Though the rules plainly j ' state that a decision of this character I must be accepted without dispute, I manager Foster,player Heist anil play- i | er Flaherty of the Berwick club abused I ' and berted Mr. Yorrick and addressed j him in vile and outrageous language, 1 shocking in the extreme and a dis ! grace to the men who used the langn | age. The case is further aggravated | by tho fact that manager Foster in | stead of performing his duty to his I club and the league was himself a ! party to this conduct and also allow | ed his players to defy and refuse to | ooey oriiers issued by umpire Yerrick, |iu tlie line of his duty, and in the in terests of necessary discipline. As to | the offense vo the Berwick players al j so led to tho blocking of play and the I subsequent forfeiture of the game it is I even more aggravated, j For his part iu the vicious attack j upon Yerrick, his refusal to obey the order of that official or to compel play ers under his contracts to do so, Man ager Foster of the Berwick club is fined SB. For their vile language play er Flaherty and player Heist are each fined sl. For their refusal to obey an order of the umpire, player Flaherty and player Heist are eacli fined sl, making I'- 1 iu the case of each player. Messrs. Foster, Flaherty and Heist are also notified that a repetition of their offensive conduct will subject each of them to an indefinite suspen. sion. These fines are levied under the fines granted the president,by the constitu- ESTABLISHED IN 1855 WOMAN GEIS 30 DAIS IN PRISON A sensational arrest occurred Tues day following a raid made by the po lice in the vicinity of Memorial park, as the result of which a woman is languishing in the county jail and a young man was mulcted in fine after spending several hours in the lock-up. Incidentally, there is trouble in store for a few others implicated, who are marked for ariest. According to all accounts for sever al weeks past there has been much dis order in that part of town. Memorial park itself is the scene nightly of pro ceedings that should put the commun ity to shame. After the man having charge of the park retires unruly boys, many of them on the verge of man hood, take possession of the resort and carry tilings with a high hand. Be tween 1) and 11 o'clock conditions are such that no self-respecting woman would care to visit the park,while the disorder existing is such as to disturb people living within a couple of squares of the place. The state of affairs has been much worse since the benches were installed, and what promised to be a source of so much comfort and pleasure have been permitted to be come an agency for the promotion of disorder. The citizens are highly indignant. Time and again they have, complained to the authorities, but conditions have gone from bad to worse. Meanwhile the police declare they have done their duty. They have made frequent visits to the park, but on their approach the boys invariably flee. It was about one o'clock when Chief Mincemoyer responded to a call Tues day morning and made an arrest. It happened that the alley between Vine and Ash streets, near Bloom street, was the scene of loud disorder on this occasion. A woman, Jennie Brumbaugh, was implicted in the doings there and Tuesday morning Chief Mincemoyer caused her arrest. The young fellow arrested at the time of the raid was placed in the lock-up. Tuesday morn ing lie was arraigned before Justice Oglesby uuil paid tiu« and costs. Ow ing to his youth liis name is withheld. Officer Voris served the warrant on the Brumbaugh woman and she was ar raigned before Justice Dalton. The facts alleged were disgraceful in the extreme. Fine and costs in the wo -1 man's case amounted to nine dollars; in default of payment thereof, as pro vided by the act, she was committed to the county jail for thirty days. Residents are anxious to see what effect the ariests will hi.ve ; ..t «.cu iluct ot' the boys about the p;irk. If the disorder continue s they declare they will adopt drastic nieasnies to see whether means can not be employed that will ahiite t,.e nuisance. The two Asliton girls it will be re called were arrested last week on a similar charge, and with tlie Brum baugh woman there are now tluee females in the county prison, a cir cumstance which does not often occur. The Aslitcn girls are awatiting trial. CONFERS DEGREES LEWSIBURG, June 22.
