Semi-Montbly Shoot,

The Danville Gun and Rifle CLUB held
its regular semi monthly bluerock shoot
at DeWitt's Park yesterday afternoon.
As will be seen by perusing the scores
printed below several of our wel-known
shooters were absent. But their places
were in part filled by contingent from
Catawissa, among whom were the we'll
known sportsmen,J. w. Adams and Will
liam Nastine, the latter cashier of the
First National Bank.
The best shooting was done by Sshram,
Phile and Lawrence. The Others how
ever can hope to do better by and iby, as
each successive shoot affords that much
more practice. Following is the score:

Air Brake Wouldn't Work.

Some excitement was caused on Mill
street Fiday morning by tie 1919
ID. l.. 4 W. passenger train east, which in
stead of coming into town at a Sedate and
respectful pace, shot over the crossing
at the rate of fifty miles an hour. The
curious prank was explained at the sta
ton by Frank Pulle of Scranton, en-
gineer of No. 704, who stated that he
lost control of the air brake Between
Mill and Ferry streets he reversed the
locomotive but was unable to stop the
train until it shot by the station. The
passengers were considerably alarmed.

A Giants Foot in Stone.

While eXcayating in the rear of the
puddle mill at the Structural Tubing
works the other day a curiosity was un-
earthed. This was nothing less than a
large stone bearing marked resemb-
lance to the human foot The oddity Of
the find at once impressed the workmen
and they carried the stone into the of
flee. An unlucky stroke of the pick had
broken off portion of the stone which
corresponded to the big toe. On the
bottom the resemblance to the human
foot could not be much more marked if
it had been chiseled out by an artist.
The instep and ball OF the foot, too, are
nearly perfect. The foot is that of a
giant, eighteen inches long and weigh
ing some forty pounds

Frank Cotner Injured,

Frank Cotner, machinist employed
at Curry & Nannan's, met with an ac-
cident Friday afternoon about 3
O'Clock which will lay him up for a
month or considerably more. Mr.. Cot
ner was engaged in boring out a large
rope wheel some eight feet in diameter,
which is being manufactured for the
Shamokin Coal Company. 1t was while
changing the position of the wheel un-
der the drill machine that the accident
occurred. The wheel was held in an
upright position by means of the crane.
The chain around the casting in some
way slipped and the wheel weighing
upwards of half a ton fell over, striking
Mr.. Cotner, knocking him down and
rolling upon his left ankle, pinning his
leg to the ground.
He was released as quickly as posi-.
BILE, when it was quite apparent that he
was badly injured. He suffered an
agony of pain and there was every rea-
son to believe that his leg was broken.
He was removed to the Heddens House
where he boards and DR.. Curry was call
ed to administer
The physician pronounced the injury
a spran and bad dislocation of the an.
kle--an injury altogether quite as much
to be dreaded as fracture

Ore Mines As a Sewer,

Those who have affairs in charge at
the Holy Family Convent, this city,
have adopted an ingenious method of
getting rid of the sewage. They had no
difficulty in locating portion of one of
the abandoned ore mines Immediately
under the grounds and they decided to
sink a we'll with the hope of reaching
the mines. After boring down to depth
of 100 feet they reached a cavity of some
sort, but they could not tell whether it
was the mine or not. In order to test
the matter, Friday they secured the
service of the borough fire engine and
for two hours pumped water from Ma
honing creek into the well. The water
ran out at the bottom nearly as fast as
pumped in at the top of the well. The
conclusion therefore seems safe that
they have struck the mines and they
will rely upon this means to dispose of
their sewage

At the conclusion of the exercises Rev
Father O'Reilly delivered a brief but
eloquent address to the audience He
spoke of the devotedness of the Sisters
to the work of instrpcting the young
the efforts and progress of the pupils
during the past year and dwelt partiru-
larly on the necessity of combining
christian and secular education-or the
education of the heart with that of the
mind; thus corroborating the sentiment
of one of his predecessors in the old dis
pensation, that the cultivation of relig-
ion and science should go hand in hand.
Gold medals were then awarded by
Rev. Father O'Reilly to Lawrence Con-
molly for Christian Doctrine, to Marga-
ret Kilfoil, Edward Shevlin, James Gill
for application to study, to Mary Hool-
ey for music.
As is customary at the close of the
school the annual fair is being held.
Much of the work, the product alike of
the teachers pains and the pupils study
and practice, is highly meritorious. The
specimens of penmanship and drawing,
especially, it would be hard to excel.
The vertical system of writing is adopted
In teaching reading and spelling the Pol
lard method is in part employed with
most satisfactory results. There are six
grades in the parochial school and up
on graduation the pupils are qualified
to enter the borough high school. There
are $50 pupils in attendance with three
teachers employed.
