Wilson of Gap, a former resident of this city, addressed a large congregation at the Mahoning Presbyterian church yester i day morning. Naturally not only the I members of the Mahoning church, but | also our townspeople in general feel a ! keen interest in Mr. Wilson's minis j terial career. It is noted with pride i that he has developed into a promising | pulpit orator. His sermon Sunday, which had as its theme, "The Dying , Thief," bore the stamp of originality j and was delivered with true eloquence. The text will be found in St. Luke j 23: 43: "And Jesus said Unto him, Verily I say unto Thee, today Thou Shalt bo With me in Paradise." Fol lowing is the sermon in part: "I may be asking a hard thing of you," the speaker began, "to come to Calvary and not keep the eye fixed on the Christ,but on the dying thief. But we can do so if we remember (not dishonoring Christ) that we could see and learn nothing but for his presence. In his light we see light. "The dying thief has played a prominent part through the ages in the discussion of the plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. He has been the hope of every hardened heart, the sanc tion sufficient of eleventh hour death bed repentance. And as men are al ways justly su 4 - lic.ous of that which comes too easy Christ and his salva tion have been impeached. Men have felt that Jesus in this instance abrog ated essential and eternal law to est ablish a mere anarchy of grace. "God's spirit may so illume, raise and support us that we may see how the claims of order and law are recon ciled with the unconditional promises of grace. How lie who declared that not oue jot or tittle should fail of the law could justly and rationally say to the dying thief, 'Today slialt thou be ( with me in Paradise.' We must ever remind oursevles that Christ founded His Kingdom in spirit wholly by il- j lustiatious drawn from the natural I and the social order. We look in vain i among his sayings for dogmas or ipso ! dixits. The birds of the ait, the flow- j ers of the field and the incidents of j common life body forth His truth. ' Beneath the various phenomena of na- j turo anil society is what we call life j with its depth and mystery. All na- j ture is but the various forms of com- I mon clay. Its own life gives life to j each of their vaiied forms. Organic ' chemistry tells how different organic ! substances are duo to different cryst- | alizatious of the atom within the mol- j ecule. The ordor of the onion and the fragance of the violet mav be the same I materials differently combined. Yet all this could justly be called a fancy. No one ever saw or will see a molecule lot alone an atom. But because this is science in order to save our reputation for enlightenment we must swallow it without question. Cannot Christ thus transform the life of man. Cannot the baser as well as the better elements crvstalize about Him when he acts up on our lives. "In the light of these considerations wo are asked to look at the dying thief in his ielation to their eternal facts; first to society, second to his inuer self; third, to Christ on the Cross. "Society has a duty to the individu al as well as the individual to society. We get a more suggestive view of the dying thief when we tutu away from the reflex influence of society on his destiny to the fact of his real in ner self. How does lie stand revealed | to the great eternal facts before Christ? This alter all is the great question. "Complaint, excuses and justifica tion of wrong doing, however, refined and rational, reveal the discouraging fact that self is stil central in the theme. We need not ask how or why the dying thief could so thoroughly deny self. Thoso occult powers of the spirit come as softly and mysteriously as the dews of heaven. The presenco of the Christ accounts for it. "How the bitter waters become sweet and the corrosive places plain when we acknowledge God in the world with perfect submission and without reservation. Wo cannot und erstand all. Our railing does no good. The future is an impenetrable pall. Bitterness and railing accusation be set us before our triumphant surrend er. After all God is greater than all evil. Ho abides forever as our sun and shield. "As to the relation of the dying thief to Christ, surely this was not loveless. It was not a caprice of grace. [, "St. Paul has said that all Christ is summed up in penitence to God and l faith in Christ. Surely by the power of the spirit the dying thief fulfilled the condition perfectly. How tender and characteristic of our Savior to honor his faith and forgive his ignorance. Ho had perhaps a crude idea of the spiritual kingdom, yet the living sav ior took, as it wore this child, weary and bruised,in his arms when he said: 'not in the distressing distant future but today wilt thou be with me in Paradise, a walled, sheltered and pro tected garden, where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest.' '' DANVILLE, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 18. 1910 TWO SUSPECTS | UNDER ARREST Qnite a commotion was caused in this city Saturday morning by the ar rest of a couple of hoboes suspected of being implicated in the burglaryat the D. L. & W. station. The presence of four detectives"industriously on the job seemed to add to the importance of the capture. The hoboes, each in him self an interesting type, linally gained their freedom. Ever since the burglary Detectives A damson and Spellman of the D. L. & W. railroad company have been in Danville working in conjunction with detectives of the Pennsylvania Rail road. who are trying to obtain a clew to the burglars that cracked the safe at the station at Catawissa a short time ago. Their labors seemed barren of results until last Saturday morning when two hapless hoboes alighted from a freight train, one of whom in a strik ing manner resembled an individual to whom suspicion pointed. Detectives Adamson anil Spellman quickly nabbed the hoboes and hustled them off to the lockup, at the same time notifying Detectives Keller and Thorp of the Pennsylvania Railroad, who came up from Sunbury on the 10:26 traiu. INJURED INNOCENCE. The four detectives accompanied by Officer Miuceuioyer and Voris proceed ed to the lockup where the hoboes weie subjected to the worst grilling , they ever experienced. Unfortunately for them they told irrational and con- j dieting stories. One of the men gave his name as .John Ryan; the other as James Leon ard. Both assumed an air of injured t innocence as they were led to the lock up. They seemed to be in ignorance of the robbery and inquired what had occurred in town to lead to their ar rest. Ryan, who had a short fiery red beard, was the man to whom suspicion pointed. Despite a keen eye lie seem- 1 ed very obtuse and stupid, and when requested to give an account of him self on the night of the robbery lie 1 made such a bungling job of it that for awhile it looked bad for him. POOR MEMORY Both of the suspects were very anx ious to bo classed as tramps merely. 112 One of them recollected that he had j worked a little at haying somewhere during the past summer; he had also I worked for a contractor at Kingston, but he wasn't sure whether lie had j given his right name there or not. It | did not seem very clear to the other | fellow whether he had done any work j or not during the present summer. Ryan on being asked to explain why j he had adopted the life of a tramp re- j plied: "I guess I hit the bottle a little too ■strong—like a good many others." Officer' Thorp recognized Ryan as a , hunt recently detained in the lockup ; at Sunbury," where he was traveling , with an umbrella mender and where | his conduct seemed to bear out his ■ representations that he was only a J tramp whose worst offense seemed to I be that of getting drunk. The hoboes were grilled for nearly ; an hour, after which the detectives ! retired to talk the matter over. It was | finally agreed that,although a few cir- | cnmstances seemed suspicious, the ] evidence against the men was not strong enough to bold them on. They were released during the afternoon. TOM RYAN SCORES Tom Ryan, Danville's Heavy weight 1 athlete, took two of the prizes offered j for the events at the Bloomsburg fire men's picnic at Columbia park on Sat urday. In the shot put Ryan took first place, distance 35 feet. The prize was a diamond stud. In the fat men's race Ryan again captured first prize, a pair of cuff bot tons. FATAL COAST INTO AUTO ALLENTCWN, Aug. 1«. ! | Noble Moyer.a Western Union mess- ( enger, 14 years old, lost control of his j bicycle coasting down the Lehigh : mountain Sunday evening, and, strik ing the auto of Milton G. Kline, suf- ] fered a fractured skull, dying at the ! hospital during the night. To avoid the accident Kline ditched his machine,breaking the front wheels. He stoped so suddenly that all its oc cupants were thrown out, including his mother, two sons and himself, all sustaining painful injuries. Of six autos that passed only one stopped and its occupants, as soon as | they saw there was a hospital case, rushed on. The boy had to he taken 1 to the institution on a jolting wagon, | although his chances for life would | have been enhanced by a quick trip. LEOPARD SCALPS CHILD—John Eggensbreger.aged five years,of Beav or Falls, leaned too close to a cage in which a ferocious leopard was kept. As a result the animal reached thiough he bars and almost scalped the child. So serious are the injuries inflicted that hiß life is despaired of. 500 FROM HERE HAD LOTS OF FUN Saturday's Scores.

"Did you hear the score?" was the pertinent querry hurled from trol ley car window and platform as the specials and regulars sped toward Dan ville,carrying the monster happy Dan ville contingent back home. And from Bloomsbuig's downcast denizens, as they watched their hopes and hard earned money depart, came back for answer—a row of sickly grins. There are just a few games in a sea son that get iuto the ultra class and nobody who was at Bloomsburg will question tho assertion that this was one of the few. The most potent cause for Danville satisfaction in Saturday's victory was the attack of acute con fidence that broke out in the Blooms burg camp before the game aud which had assumed tho proportions of an epidemic by the time the game was called. Their exuberant spirits induced them to risk large wads of their hard earn ed cash on the result of the game, the amount brought home by the Danville sports being variously estimated at be tween s D. L. & W. train. Included were ( men and women, y ..'ng and old, for 1 the word had been passed that Dan ville was going to trounce their old rivals. The ground records showed 1200 paid admissions, and of these not less than .">OO were from Danville. THE GAME. With all the before-hand incidents tending to bring the degree of joy up to summer heat, the game itself capped the climax of ecstacy. It was a hum mer from every view point. Blooms burg, with their dandy team, played dandy ball in every department, but still were outplayed and out generated by Danville in every position. Blooms burg fought hard from start to finish, but the onslaught of Danville batters on Shawkey was not to be withstood, while McHale, with his mystifying shoots, turned Bloom batters into outs with amazing ease. Back of the giant Colby collegian the eight other champs did sleight of hand tricks with balls from Blooms burg bats. Danville fielded errorlessly —took every one of the 40 chances that were necessary to retire Bloomsburg in the nine innings. THE BIG NORSE. Of course the star of the game was Mcllale,Danville's new pitcher. From beginning to ending he gave such an exhibition of twirling as has never been seen in Bloomsburg. Bloomsburg had seven hits, but they came when McHale said they should hit; lie had six strike outs, anil they, too, came when he had decided that a strike out was about due; tho rest of tho time Bloomsburg bats were laying ground ers or raising flies to Danville field ers, whore the masterful McHale had previously decided they should go. It would bo difficult to convince the Bloomsburg fans that they had gotten anything out of the game, but we would like to inform them that every person on the ground got a liberal ed ucation in base ball pitching when they saw McHale work. He included in his repretoire'every thing that a pitcher should have, and besides fielded his position in spectacu lar form. A Bloomsburg batter would spauk viciously at a shoulder high floater that McHale had started at his ankles, and miss it by a foot; then stand dazed while the big smiling fel low before him would groove a smoke ball across the plate that he was too Continued on 4th Page. NEW RULES GO INTO EFFECT Several new iuleß have gone iuto effect at the tuberculosis dispensary, this oity, (luring the few days past. One of the most important of these relates to the deporting of immigrants that have unlawly landed in the Unit ed States. Henceforth, it will devolve on physicians in charge of tuberculos is dispensaries to enforce rule 82 of the immigration laws and regulations, which provides that the case of every alien found to have become a public charge from causes existing prior to landing shall be reported to the im migration officer stationed nearest tho place where the alien is confined. As is implied all indigent foreign patients applying to the tuberculosis dispensary for treatment must bo re fused admission, provided the disease was contracted by them prior to their lauding in this country and provided such landing occurred within three years. RULE NOT VIOLATED. At present there are thirty-five in digent patients receiving treatment at the tuberculosis 'dispensary here. Of this number there is not one whose case is covered by rule 32 and who, therefore, is subject to exclusion and deportation. Another new lule has gone into ef fect at the dispensary, which urfor tuuately debars one or more poor per son, victims of tuberculosis, badly in need of help, from treatment at the local dispensary. The rule provides that any patient at the dispensary who makes application and is admitted to the Mt. Alto sanatorium an;l leaves there without beiug honorably dis charged shall never be readmitted to the sanatorium nor treated at the local dispensaries. A dishonorable dis charge follows only when patients break the rules of the sanatorium re lating to the use of tobacco and alco hol or leaving under three months con trary to advice. Up to the present four indigent patients have made ap plication through the local dispensary for admission to Mt. Alton. With tho exceptions above noted patients have remained under treatment there until discharged by the physician. NOT GENERALLY KNOWN. It seems that a good many persons are unfamiliar with an important rule at the tuberculosis dispensary that is rigidly lived up to. This rule forbids that the physician in charge treat the indigent patients for any other disease than tuberculosis and that he treat them only at tho disj eusary; wl.at at tention the patients may require at their homes is given by the visiting nurse. Exception to the above rulo lies in those cases where tho tuber culosis patients before they were ad mitted to the dipsensary were regular patients of the physician in charge. 1911 MODEL. Thomas J. Price's new car, a Pack ard 30, lilll model, arrived in this city Monday evening. It is one of the most beautiful ami expensive automobiles in this section. It is a fore door body, seven passenger car. Tho wheels are equipped with Continental demount able rims, the car carrying two tires already pumped up. The machine has a Packard standard blue body,the door lines being black. The fender hood, the radiator, all metal parts are en ameled black. The run from Atlantic City to Dan ville was made on Monday, the car be ing in charge of John K. Allen of Philadelphia. In the party were Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Pi ice, Miss Price and her guest. Miss Whitten.of Wakefield, Mass., and Edward J. Price. 113 Letters on Pin Head. Sharon, Aug. 10. —Ou the heart of an ordinary pin Paul P.

He was graduated from Rouman's Technical school in Lancaster about a year ago ami is now working for Fred Koehler in this city. For the wonder ful pieoe of work that he did ho used an ordinary watchmaker's tool. Mr. Wentz is only 23 years of age. Snake Dream Causes Paralysis. Slatington, Aug. lti.—Going to bed after a hard day's work, George Geor gopulus, a local candy merchant, dreamed that he had a fight with a big blauksnake. He dreamed that it had encircled his leg and arm and was about to bury its fangs in his body. He awoke with a start to find that his left side was totally paralyzed. DROPS DEAD IN CHURCH.—Geo Eptenheimer, of Philadelphia, drop ped dead while attending services in Rehoboth M. E. church. Mrs. Epten heimer was sitting beside her husband when he was stricken with heart dis ease. WILL THERE BE OBJECTIONS? General interest centers on the next meeting of council, Friday night, the date set for hearing objections to the paving of East Market street between Mill and Pine streets. Unless very strong opposition should develop council will proceed forthwith to prepare an ordinance authorizing the improvement. The committee will no doubt report at a special meeting and the ordinance will be adopted as quickly as possible to the end that formality may be complied with and the two remaining squares ready for paving by the time the section now under way is completed. THE PROCEDURE Following the plan usually adopted in such cases the costs will not be as sessed until the paving is completed. The owners of properties abutting on the two squares will then be present ed with a bill for the costs as com puted. Should property owners decline to pay their share of costs a petition will be presented to court asking for the appointment of a jury of three men as provided by the Act of May 31, 185)7. Section 2 provides as follows: In exercising the power aforesaid all pro ceedings for the ascertaining of dam ages and the assessment of benefits, in cident thereto shall be as now provid ed by law in reference to payment of costs, benefits, damages and expenses of public improvements within muni cipal corporations. £ As brought out in Section Bof the Act of May 1(1, 1891, the mode of pro cedure referred to is as follows: Oil petition viewers shall be appointed who shall assess the costs and expenses of grading, paving and curbing ot the i street or alley upon the property bone- j fited,according to the benefits, if suffi- ! cient can be found,but if not, then the j deficiency, when finally ascertained, shall be paid by the municipal corpo- J ration. THE DIFFERENCE Obviously in the paving of the two squares between Mill and Pine streets no a mage will result to any of the properties abutting, which implies j tltat there will be no deficiency for the municipality to make up. It' a jury be appointed it may be a question wheth er the costs of paving assessed on prop erties "according to the benefits" may | not exceed the amount that they would ! have had to pay had owners petitioned 1 for paving iu the usual way. FOUND DYING MAN MILTON, Aug. 16. While on his way home from Shinier j & Sons' mill, where he is employed, about 3 o'clock this morning, Kliiier Sanders, of New Columbia, discovt iii the mangled body of a man lying along the Reading railroad tracks a sl.oit distance from the statiouat West Mil ton. The man was stili breathing, but died a few minutes later. One li'g had been cut off and there was a deep gash , in his head. The unfortunate fellow was identified as Peter Richards, a resident of Pottsville, who had been working at the new high school build ing at this place. He was about twen ty-live years of age and single. A bot tle partly filled with whisky was found in his pocket. The supposition is that he was struck by a freight that passed through here about 2:30 o'clock. PRONG IN APPENDIX SORANTON, Aug. 10. Thomas Duffy, a machinist,23 years old, of Dunmore, near here, was op erated upon iu the Scrantou private hospital yesterday for the removal of a dentist's tool, which ho swallowed a week ago while having his teeth fixed j in the office of Dr. Harold Davis, of Dunmore. The tool was a two-inch steel prong with a quarter-inch burr at one end. The physicians had to force it down Duffy's neck into his stomach last week. It worked its way to the veri form appendix, and set up a condition similar to appendicitis. The appendix i was found to be inflamed, and tho steel I instrument imbedded in it. Duffy's ! condition is critical. DIES IX STRANGER'S HOME.- The infirmities of his advanced age prevented Michael Collins, aged TO years, who hail been discharged from the Phialdelphia hospital, from reach ing the home of relatives, but he was taken in and oared for by Mrs. John MeOandles. Next morning Mis. Mc- Candles went to tho stranger's room to arouse him and she was startled to find him dead. An orchestra dance will be held at DeWitt's Park tonight. The music will be furnished by Miles & Foulk's or chestra. A delightful time is assured to all who attend. B. L. Diehl is remodeling his home on Bloom road. ESTABLISHED IN 185 C FIRST VISIT IN 49 YEARS After a life-time of labor not unmix ed with trial aud hardship,for tlie first time in nearly half a century the Rev. N. L. Sayers of Plaqueuime, La., hcg returned to Montour county to view the hearthstone of his early days and to seek the few that still survive who knew him as a boy and a young man. Mr. Sayers is a representative of an old and pioneer family of this coun ty. He was born at Washingtonville and was the son of John Sayers, who in turn was bom about two miles from Washingtonville. In 18(S1 he joined the union army enlisting in the Seventh Pennsylvania cavalry. After the war he settled in Indiana. ENTERED THE MINISTRY. Twenty years ago he entered the Methodist ministry in Louisiana. At present he is a member of the Gulf Conference. For eight years his work has lain in the great swamp region of Louisiana. His principal appointment is at Bayou Chene.St. Martin's parish. As a Methodist minister Mr. Sayers faces conditions that are wholly un ique. Before obstacles that he has to contend with and the privations that he endnres every day of his life the hardships of the old time circuit rider in this section dwindle into insignifi cance. A DISMAL LIFE. In the swamp region there are no farms—no towns—nothing in the way of houses even, except a few "shacks" primitive beyond belief. Yet through out this great area human beings sub sist anil families are reared. Large tracts of timber land are be ing cleared, but the principal occupa tion of the people are fishing and trap ping. Mr. Savers' circuit embraces two hundred miles. He travels exclusively in a boat, winding his way in and out among the bayous or inlets from the lakes or large rivers that move loiter ingly through the illimitable swamps, where mosquitoes formidable in size aud in untold millions assail him. The clergyman's boat is propelled by gasolene and is equipped with a head light. It is a specially designed craft; it affords sleeping quarters and is, in deed, the only home that Mr. Sayers knows for loug intervals. SPARSELY SETTLED. The great swamp region is very sparsely settled. Among those who have penetrated the place and are try ing their fortunes lumbering and in other vocation? are college men. The i ihe people, however, are gro>.-' Jj. rant, although emotional and . * no means unresponsive. On liic v In,l Mr. Payers is consid ers) !v encouraged by results. The peo ple an willing to be taught. In many iii:-taiic< she finds large families living outsii'u of wrdloe.U—not because of iiinati depravity, if should be ex plained, but rati i 1 because they have so long bet n «;■. filei ted. As soon as they aif shown t!.e error of their ways the men aud won.cn rearing families agree to be married and Mr. Sayers ties the belated nuptial knot. There ate many persons who know nothing of the plan of salvation—who know nothing of the Biblo and are familiar with the word God only as it occurs in profane language. CALLED TO THE WORK. Mr. Sayers declares that it is a settl ed conviction with him that he is call ed of Gotl to carry the gospel of Jesus Christ into this almost impenetrable aud long neglected field. Frequently his congregations number less than a dozen; twenty-five or thirty seems to be about the limit. Services are held wherever shelter can be found from the scorching sun; often at night un der the light of the moon. Strange as it may appear the climate is not unhealthy and Mr. Sayers is the picture of health. Mosquitoes, how ever, are a ceaseless torment and are iu evidence the whole year round. The oulv relief afforded is by means of mosquito netting. Snow is pratical ly unknown in the swamp region and ice even the thickness of glass is a rarity. The present is Mr. Sayers' first vis it to his old home since he left here forty-nine years ago. Auto Dathea Up a Porch. Pottsville, Aug. 10.—An unoccupied automobile racing backward at break neck speed down steep Norwegian street yesterday threatened the lives of a number of pedestrians, ami final ly dashed over a pavement and up a porch, where Chariott and Belle Rich were siting. Tho ladies saved them sevles from being scooped up by re treating into their house. The auto mobile, which belonged to Engineer Harry E. Wilson, of the Pennsylvaina railroad, was released on its perilous trip by boys. If a girl can't marry her ideal, she goes after some other girl's ideal.
