suniuu mose 01 urener lownsnip.
At the hearing Wednesday after
noon Charles B. Edwards appeared

mandamus on the grounds that he
nau never asked for help of any
kind from the poor directors and had
TlfiVPr TTinrlo nrinllpntlntl fnr on nrlpr
of relief. Judge Searle denied the
application tor a mandamus and
stated that the question of costs
be postponed for the time being.
Tho petition which was filed in the
prothonotary's office set forth that
Charles B. Edwards was a resident
of Sterling township and that his
circumstances were such that it was
necessary that he receive aid from
the township for his wife and six
children. On May 1G, the petition
sets forth, ho went before 'Squire
E. B. Hollister and L. P. Pelton,
Justices of the Peace for Salem town
ship, and made complaint that ho
was unable to provide for his fam
ily. He was granted an order of re
lief, which, when served on the
overseers of Sterling township, was
evaded. Mr. Edwards admitted sign
ing the petition but denied all knowl
edge of its contents. He said that
lie had never knowingly asked for
relief.
On June 4th an answer to tho pe
tition was filed by Kimble & Hanlan,
attorneys for tho poor directors of
Sterling township, in which they
stated that on May Gth Mr. Ed
wards had lived in Dreher township
and that he was not in destitute cir
cumstances at that time, and had
steady employment, earning suffi
cient money for the support of his
family. An order of removal was
issued by W. L. Harvey, a justice of
the peace of Lehigh township, di
recting the removal of Mr. Edwards
to Sterling township. There was no
necessity for the removal of Edwards
against his will, the answer goes on
to state, and when he arrived in
Sterling the overseers of that town
ship went to Edwards Immediately
and were informed that he did not
asK rener and did not want to bo put
on the town. Mr. "Edwards asked
permission to withdraw the petition
for mandamus, saying that tho over
seers of Sterling havo fully perform
ed their duty. The poor directors of
Dreher had the poor directors of
Sterling arrested, but this was also
dismissed by Judge Searle.
Mr. Edwards stated that tho only
time he had accepted help from the
poor directors was when he Injured
his hand In a saw mill about four
years ago. At that time they vol
unteered a little contribution for his
immediate relief.
Mr. Edwards owns about one hun
dred acres of land lying partly in
Dreher and Sterling townships. His
homo burned some time ago and
since then has been unable to erect
a new home.
An appeal from tho decree of Jus
tice Harvey -will bo heard during tho
Juno term of court.

THEODORE DAY'S DISCOVERY
KILLING TENT CATERPILLARS
DISEASE AMONG PEST SPREAD
ING RAPIDLY STATE MAY
GIVE APPROPRIATION.
i Dybcrry Weather Record Keeper Af-
icr jurors 01 jjuigcni woric suc
ceeds in Creating a Death-Denllng
Disease.
A disease has affected tho tent
caterpillar, which pest is defoliating
tne trees in this section of tho coun
try. It is thought to bo the disease
discovered by Theodore Day, of Dy
berry, who for a long time assiduous
ly worked upon the caterpillar In
hopes of finding some remedy or
death-dealing disease which might be
usea to exterminate the pest. Mr,
Day, a few years ago. when tho cat
erpillar was eating the leaves from
the trees, was successful in discover
ing this disease. The disease snread
rapidly at that tlmo and for a year
or two fow tents have been seenl
Theodore Day, at the time of mak
ing the discovery, told the writer
that a' small pinch of .the dust
sprinkled upon nests of the cater
plller would dry them up. In the
tent of an affected camp the worms
die suddenly and tho disease spreads
rapidly. The death dealing disease
is procured by pulverizing the dried
caterpillars, affected by the disease
and then their dust is applied to live
tents. Mr. Day communicated with
Professor H. A. Surface, state zoolo
gist, about his discovery and the
professor told him that he would try
and get an appropriation from the
State at the next legislature to carry
on the good work. To date, we are
informed, no sum has been sot aside
for this important discovery and un
less checked the tent caterpillar will
do untold damage to forestry and
fruit trees.
William H. Bullock, district state
agriculturist, brought to our office on
Monday a specimen of tho catemll
lar tent, which showed the effects of
tho Day disease upon the pest. The
specimen was sent to Professor Sur
face for examination.
