Occurred Monday Evening at His Home on
East Front Street.

After a lingering illness of over a
months duration, Councilman John

The deceased was born in Stuttgart,
Germany, on Jan. 8, lS47. When he was
lad of thirteen he came to this country
and for some time was engaged in fol-
lowing the barber's trade after which he
Travelled with many of the leading cir
cuses including Forepaugh's, Robison's,
Gardner's and Stokes az an acrobat.
While with the latter he made trip to
Europe and was billed as the special at
traction.
CJAbout this time he introduced the
double somer-s sault to the world and won
great fame on that account. After tra-
yelling through Brazil and Cuba he
located in this city and engaged in the
liquor business with Simon Krebs. In
1887 he became a travelling salesman for
f. P. Dilley & Co., of Philadelphia, and
for the past thirteen years has continu-
ed to represent that firm in this section
of the State.
The deceased is survived by wife and

Work of Company F at Rifle Practice.

The season for qualifying with the
rifle and the revolver for Pennsylvania
National Guardsmen ends today.
Range Master Gross disqualified near
" all the enlisted men with the rifle
and with the revolver.
The men seemed to take special in
terest in this work this year and in con
sequence thirteen men are first class
markSmen and six men are eligible to
try for sharp shooters. None of the six
attempted to gain that distinction and
were satisfied to shoot at 200 and 500
yards.
The new man silhouette target, being
larger, is great advantage over the old
bull's-eye and teaches the soldiers to
shoot low, which is more effective in
actual warfare
Next year Company +, will be repres-
ented in the Regimental matches and
hope to win out as several of the men,
with little more practice, will be able
to make very good scores.

A MOST DARING
BURGLARY
Committed at The P. & r. Station Early
Saturday Morning.

One of the most daring, and well plan
ned burglaries ever committed in thi.
city, took place Saturday morning. The
Philadelphia and Reading depot Office
was entered, the operator bound and
gagged, the safe blown open, and a sum
of money stolen, without the smallest
clue as to the identity, or whereabouts
of the perpetrators
AT nearly two O'Clock south bound
freight train passed the station, and
Annon Keiser the night operator had
just reported it, when some one called
to him from the baggage room window
that Ibis friend Thomas" wished to
speak to him on the platform.
Keiser replied saying Il don't know
Thomas and | don't know you" At
that movement the window shutter was
raised, and Keiser covered by several
revolvers Several of the men, at once
crawled through the window and Keis
er was securely bound and thrown into
ing they relieved him of his watch and
about 81. so in money. They also took
his tobacco and helped themselves liber
ally.to his lunch. After number of
trials the safe was finally blown open
and the money taken. The amount is
not known as the officials have refused
to make any statement in regard to
their loss. 1t is supposed to have been
quite large sum, possibly $3.50.
After the robbers had made their es-
cape, Keiser managed to extricate him
self and gave the alarm. The officers
and Agent Foust were soon on the scene
but careful search failed to reveal any
clue by which the thieves could be trac-
ed. II was stated Sunday that some
money and papers had been found near
Catawissa but these reports are entirely
without foundation.

LAKE SUPERIOR cos
OFFER ACCEPTED
For Bessemer Plant Work of Removing
Machinery to Begin at Once.

As the result of negotiations which
have been carried on for number ol
months by the Consolidated Lake Sup
erior Company, intimation of which was
given in these columns some time since,
the Danville Bessemer Steel mill and the
rail and angle mills have been purchased
by the Canadian firm and all the mach
inery and equipment will be removed to
Sault Ste. Marie at once.
Nothing but the machinery will be
taken and the buildings will remain in
tact. The contract for dismantling the
mills, also the moving and the re-erec-
ton of them has been taken by the En-
terprise Construction Co., of Cleveland,
o., and two of the representatives of
that concern, Luther A. Roby and D. J.
Carpenter, arrived in town yesterday
and expect to start work today.
Local labor will be required and no
doubt a large force of men will find en-
ployment for period of about three
months, the time it will likely require to
complete the dismanting and removal.
Chief Engineer w. II. Munro, of the
Consolidated Co., also arrived here Mon
day and will look after the interests of
his concern.
The Consolidated Co. has large con-
tracts for steel rails to fill for the Canad-
ian government and has but compare
lively short time in which to manufact.
ure them so in order to obtain large
grants of mineral and timber lands, every
effort is being made to turn out finished
material within the time specified and
for that reason is the Bessemer machin
cry carried such great distance. The
amount involved in the transaction was
not given out.
1t was reported about the city Mon.
day that the plate mill had been includ-
ed in the sale, the Canadian officials
themselves being under that impression.
Superintendent Howery stated Monday
night that this department had not
been sold and that from present indica-
tions plate may be rolled again early in
the Spring.
What disposition will be made of the
buildings is not definitely known as yet.
A large corporation, who for various rea-
sons do not wish their names mention
ed for the present, but who are favor
ably impressed with Danville as man
ufacturing site, were recently repres-
ented in this city and the buildings at
the Bessemer works were examined.
Should conditions prove favorable an
offer may be made to the Bessemer COM
pany for their purchase, and an industry
employing a large number of hands may
soon take the place of the former busy
steel plant.

Foot Ball Teams Disagree.

IOOJ Dali LEANS DlSdgTte'
The game of foot ball which was to
have been played in Milton on Saturday
afternoon between teams representing
the DanvilIe High school and the Milton
High school did not come of on account
of a disagreement which arose between
the two captains over the eligibility of
four of the players that Milton had on
its eleven.
Danvile plays a strictly High school
team and Milton had previously agreed
to do the same but when the two
elevens appeared on the field Milton had
four older men who were not "sChool
boys" by any means and who laid no
claim to being so.
Captain Maiers protested against this
imposition but Milton refused to remove
the ineligibles so the Danville team de
cided not to line up and the players left
the field.
Considerable disappointment was felt
in this city over this failure to play as
the result of the game was awaited with
much interest
