HELPED OLD MAN
ON JOURNEY
Aged John Nelson Wished to get From
Scranton to Sunbury.

A sad case of helplessness and home.
lessness came to the attention of the
local authorities yesterday when John
Nelson alighted from the 1888 west
bound Lackawanna train.
Mr.. Nelson said that he is eighty years
old, and that for over seventy years he
was resident of Sunbury.
For some time he has been living with
a married daughter in Scranton. She
died suddenly few days ago, leaving
him with NO one to care for him. He
has several other children, but he does
not know where any of them live. He
claims to have friends in Sunbury, who
he believes, will care for him.
The poor authorities of Scranton ac-
cordingly started him on his way to
Sunbury and bought him ticket for
Wilkesbarre, getting him into Luzerne
county, so that he could not become a
Lackawanna county charge. The
Wilkesbarre authorities helped him on
and got him out of Luzerne county by
purchasing for him ticket to Danville.
The Danville authorities helped him
over the last stage of his journey with
ticket for Sunbury. Officer John
Grier Voris placed him on the 4:3S Lack
awanna train.

Regretted.

The two farewell Sunday meetings oi
Ensign and Mrs. Heift at the Salvation
Army hall Sunday afternoon and even.
ing were largely attended.
at the afternoon meeting the Rev. Dl
w. l. Steans made an address. He voic
ed the sentiments of most of the church
people of Danville when he said:
81 am very sorry to part company
with Ensign and Mrs. Heift. | was glad
that they came, because | believed a
work was here for them to do, and now
am glad to say that daring the year
they have been doing that work. 1t has
been one of the greatest in Danville;and
would indicate that we have not APP
preciated them, we have done so. Every
where we have heard the kindest things
said of Ensign and Mrs. Heift. We be-
lieve them to be worthy of it. They
have lived sober, Cody, righteous lives
in this community They have been
examples Their earnestness, zeal and
conservation have been an inspiration
to us.
In addition to the regular address at
the evening service, Ensign and Mrs.
Heift made brief addresses of farewell.
They said that in many respects this
is the hardest partinr III their Army ex-
perience, because they began under dis
couraging circumstances, but have been
able to accomplish much, with the kind
assistance that has been accorded them
by the people of Danville.
The Ensign said that he was aware
that he had been criticised and misund-
erstood in some quarters;but he has not
tried to please everybody;he has simply
tried to live right before the people of
this city. He and Mrs. Heift expressed
their sincere thanks to the many citiz-
ems who have encouraged and assisted
them in their work.
During the meeting Ensign Heift pre-
sented to Ralph A. Phillips his commits
sion, sent from Army headquarters, as
junior soldier sergeant major.

A VERY ABLE
ELOCUTIONIST
Miss Gilmore's Versatility Was Thoroughly
Enjoyed.

The popularity of the Y. NJ. c. A. free
entertainment course was well demon
strated by The large audience that, in
spite of the rain, Tuesday evening list
ened to the recitations of Miss Gilmore,
Of Williamsport.
Every number on the program, both
Miss Gilmore's recitations and the sing
ing of Mrs. Scarlet and Messrs. Shelhart
and Russell, was thoroughly enjoyed.
Miss Gilmore is versatile elocutionist
whose Interpretation of all classes of
work, from humorous to, pathetic and
back to ridiculous formed an interesting
entertainment.
Her rendering of several of James
Whitcomb Riley's best poems brought
out the full pathos and humor of the
"Hooser" verses.
The "Lesson to Gossipers' was an in
teresting satire for everyone from 'maid-
en- ladies' to preachers and editors,
while she preached quite sermon in
her Interpretation of Rose Terry Cookies
"The Deacon's Week"
The entire entertainment was one
that would have been creditable to any
high priced course.

Ice in the Pulpit"

Satire and humor were interminged
with helpful suggestions in the lecture
on "1ce in the Pulpit, and Who Put it
There" delivered at the First Baptist
church on Saturday evening by the Rev
DR.. Oscar f. Flippo, of Philadelphia.
DIR. Flippo believes that both the
preacher and congregation often furnish
the ingredients for the freezing" that
result from preaching.
His lecture contained many sugges-
tions for church .goers and pastors, to
help and prevent cold preaching.
These suggestions were presented in
an interesting manner that made the
lecture highly entertaining as we'll as
helpful to the large audience.

Other Actions Against Iron Company to
Be Moved for Trial.

After the verdict of no cause of actio on
was rendered in the case of Barron
against the Reading Iron company, it
was stated that the decision in this case
would decide all of the other damage
suits now pending against the company
growing out of the same boiler explos-
ion.
Hon. Fl. NJ. Hinckley, one of the at
torneys for the plaintiffs in these ac-
tions, says that this is not so; but that
the other cases will be moved for trial
at the first opportunity. On account of
the Wintersteen murder trial, it is not
expected that any of the cases can be
tried at the regular January term of
court.
The plaintiffs attorneys were granted
until January 1st to prepare their case
with exceptions for their motion for a
new trial. They cannot tell until after
this motion is decided whether the Bar
ron case will be appealed to the higher
court, if the new trial is not granted.

Elias Hartz, the Reading goose bone

animation of the breast-bone of his

we're winter, with much snow.
In opposition to this prophecy, DaE
vile resident, who has carefully studied
the weather for years, predicts an open
sloppy winter" basing his calculations
on the dandelion and rag.weed. He
claims that when dandelions are in
bloom until December, as he says they

following winter never fails to be open.

Not Much of a Rise.

1t was expected that the steady rain
for twenty-four hours, from one o'clock
on Tuesday morning until the same
time on Wednesday morning would
send the river up as high as it was with
the rain of last week. People who SO
supposed evidently miscalculated.
During the entire day yesterday it
rose but three inches, making only one
foot and four inches that it came up
since Tuesday morning.
After the rain of last week the river
