Implements of Savage Warfare,

An unusually interesting collection OF
curiosities brought from the Philippine
Islands by Henry Mitchell, may be seen
in the window of Bernheimer's clothing
store. The collection includes wide
range of articles, such as spears, swords,
belos, knives and daggers of every de-
scription, along with a Filipino flag,
belts, shoes and other articles of wear
ing apparel.
The articles were easily enough col,
lected, but it was only by dint of per
severence and great Inconvenience that
the young soldier was enabled to keep
them within reach until he was muster
ed out of service. The curiosities were
viewed by many persons yesterday.

Inter-county Shoot,

The inter-county live bird and blue
rock shoot which will take place at Be
Wits Park on Memorial Day under the
auspices of the Danville Gun and Rife
club promises to be one of the most inn
portant events of its kind that has ever
taken place in this section. At least
three counties Montour, Columbia and
Northumberland-w be represented
and the number of sportsmen who will!
participate in the contest may approx
innate half hundred.
The match will be an all-day affair
The forenoon will be devoted to targets,
the shooting beginning at $50. The live
bird match will take place in the after
noon, beginning at | o'clock. Refresh
ments consisting of sandwiches and cof-
fee, will be served on the grounds at
noon Four hundred birds will be trap
ped
The Danville Gun and Rife club pos
sesses a magautrap,i in addition to which
a number of improvements have been
made about the grounds. All that is
needed is a club hOuse-which by the
way is contemplated-to render the
grounds at DeWitt's Park equal to any
in the state.
The shoot will be conducted according
to the rules of the American Sportsmen
Association. That no cruel practices
will be tolerated or undue suffering in
flicted upon the birds goes without say
ing. The most stringent measures will
be adopted to prevent "bushwhaCking"
or the shooting by outside parties of
birds which have gained their freedom.
The rules provide for the protection of
the bird which has been shot at and
missed by the man for whom the trap
was sprung. Under no circumstances
will any other person be permitted to
shoot. Birds, thus escaping, it some
times happens become common target
fer other members of the club, the pro-
miscuous shooting not only endangering
the contestants but others who may
happen to be within range of the guns.
1t is a wise rule adopted by the Danville
Gun and Rifle club and will meet the
approval of every humane person, as
while precaution as to danger it gives
the bird at least some show of escape.

CITIZENS
MASS MEETING
Action Relative to Loss Sustained by the
Reading Iron Go.

1t was a large audience that crowded
into the court house Monday night in re-
sponse 10 a call for a mass meeting of
citizens to take some action relative to
the loss sustained by the Reading Iron
company by the recent fire at its
works in this city. 1t was an earnest
assemblage composed of wage earners
and business men, the faces of all wear
ing look of seriousness and soIcitude
as if they realized that upon them de-
volved duty on the performance of
which depended the future welfare of
the town.
John Goeser was chosen chairman of
the meeting. Mr.. Goeser made short
address, explaining that he had called
the meeting after consulting number
of business men and others, in order to
take some action which would convince
the Reading Iron Company that the cit
izens of Danville hold its works here in
high appreciation and sorely feel the
loss of the shut down. Mr. Goeser said
he believed that the assurance of good
will and moral support from the citizens
of Danville is more desired by the Read
ing Iron Company than financial aid, al
though the latter in some form was not
out of the question, if needed. The
meeting, he said had been called With
out any well defined plan and in order
to get an interchange of opinion he
called upon Hon. II. X Polk.
Mr.. Polk agreed that the assurance of
good will and the moral support of the
town would go a great way with the
Reading Iron Company in influencing its
| future action. An effort should be made
he said, to convince the company that
our citizens feel a vital interest in its
success. As preliminary step Mr..
Polk moved that a committee of five
citizens be appointed by the chairman
to draft resolutions expressing regret
that the Reading Iron Company has sus-
tanned loss by fire and showing apprecia-
ton of the benefits derived by the town
from the works when in operation. The
motion provided that Mr.. Goeser be
made chairman of the committee.
The motion was seconded by Joseph
Murray and carried unanimously.
The committee, which has not as yet
been announced, will report at meet
ing to be called by the president.

A MYSTERIOUS Gave In.

Residents in the neighborhood Of
Gross Keys" place are much mystified
by big cave-in which has occurred in
the grounds of that once famous hostel
ry. A dozen cubic yards of earth has
dropped into what has the appearance
of being a subterranean passage leading
from the house eastward. The gallery,
which is some ten feet below the surface,
is plainly in view; it is carefully walled
along the sides and rooted over. The
''Cross Keys" which years ago was re-
modelled into its present appearance, is
very old Landmark and the under
ground way has probably to do with its
early history, although it is difficult to
conceive of any use to which such a
place could be put.

DIR. SHINDEL'S
DISCOURSE
Eloquent Sermon Preached to Members of
the G. A. R. Sunday.

The annual sermon to the members of
the G. A. r. was preached by Rev. DR..
NJ. L. Shinde at the Pine Street Luther
an church Sunday morning sixty veter-
ans being present in body, occupying
the entire front of the church. The dec
orations, thoroughly in keeping with
the event, consisted solely of the stars
and stripes. To the right of the pulpit
leaning against the wall was the new
post flag. To the left in the same posi-
ton was the handsome flag of Company
A, l32nd regiment The pulpit and the
chanceI rail were both concealed under
the folds of a large American flag. At
the right of the pulpit was a stack of
muskets decorated with several small
flags belonging to the post. Altogether
the effect was most beautiful and added
to the mpressiveness of the event.
The pastor read the 46th psalm and
followed with invocation. 1t was an
appeal to Heaven on behalf of the aging
veterans that sank deep into the hearts
OF all, beautiful in its eloqu' ncr, and re-
tlecting in every sentence love and sym
pathy for fellowman and mn attitude of
trust and devotion toward Almighty
God.
The choir sang an anthem very beaull-
fully, which was followed with the hymn
Nearer, My God, to Thee
DIR. Shindel founded his sermon upon
two passages of scripture-ll Chronicle,
10th chapter, verse: "Henceforth
there shall be wars" and Isaiah, 2nd
chapter, 4th verse: Nation shall not
lift sword against nation, neither shall
there be war any more" DIR. Shindel
very effectively explained away the APP
parent contradiction in the two pass
ages. In the former text the prophecy,
which has been amply fulfilled, was
made from a point of view which still
exists, showing that conflict and the
clash of arms must always ensue where
nations put their trust not in God but
in man, adopting worldly measurers and
seeking alliance with other powers. War
is one of the ways God has Of punish
ing his people for their idolatry and
wickedness. Besides, certain wars are
just in the sight of God, such as ensure
peace and bring independence.
DR.. Shindel drew very beautiful pic
ture of the world under the reign of per-
petual peace described by the latter text
when "the sword shall be forged into
plough-shares and the spear into prun.
ing hooks" Our eyes may not behold
it, he said, but it will come.
DR.. ShIndel closed with some timely
and sympathetic remarks addressed dir
ectly to the members of the q. A. r.,
dwelling upon the inroads that time is
making upon their ranks, of the fate of
their comrades who lie in unknown
graves and admonshing them of the
duty they owe to themselves in prepar-
ing for the great change that awaits all
on earth The discourse without being
fulsome or overdone involved as fine
tribute to the veterans of the Civil War
as was ever heard in this city.

LANBERSON
AND STOUT
Their COnvivial Habits Got Them Into
Trouble.

LambersOn and Stout, contractors, at
present engaged in removing the old
coal sheds belonging to K. II. Woolley,
were temporarily interrupted in their
work yesterday. The two men were
doing quite well and they found time to
celebrate their prosperity with an occa-
sional indulgence in cred eye" AS a
result their Convivial habits soon got
the best of them and they were both ar
rested charged with drunkenness and
disorderly conduct.
Harvey Lamberson who was arrested
Tuesday afternoon had his hearing
down for 8 o'clock yesterday after
noon. Before the hour arrived, how
ever, his partner, Preston Stout, com
monty known as "Doodles" got on the
rampage. Stout was domicled in a
vacant canal boat at some distance
above the one occupied by Harvey Lam
bersOn and wife. The contemplated re-
moyal of the boats makes it necessary
for each of the families to "vamoose''
That he might not be taken unawareS
Councilman George Sechler yesterday
suggested to Stout that it would be
advisable for him to look around for a
new domicile.
Stout was not in condition to rea.
son and regarding himself as summarly
elected he pitched onto Mr.. Sechler, and
with his violent abuse, threats and pro
family created the worst scene of dis
order that has occurred on Mill street in
many a day. He was arrested on q
warrant sworn out by Chief MincemOyel
and arraigned before Justice Oglesby at
9 O'Clock in the afternoon. Goodies
admitted that he was drunk when ar
rested. There is no use to deny it,
he said, adding: what is the penalty?
You can hang me if you want to-"
Fine and costs amounted to SO. In
default of this he had his choice of six
days in the borough lookup or thirty
uayS III IHe county jan.
Make it sixty days" shouted Stout
"Tll go to Jail, f" and in his eagerness tc
meet the demands of justice he bolted
toward the door, forgetting that com
mitment paper and an officer of the law
are indispensable requisites in "going tC
jail" Upon second thought however
Stout thought he could "settle" if giver
a little time. Justice Oglesby was in
clined TO be lenient and the case was
dropped by the defendant giving a note
for payment of fine and costs, aftel
which he begged the forgivness of those
who appeared against him and shaking
hands departed.
Harvey LambersOn was arraigned be
fore Justice Bare. His wife was the
principal witness. When under the in
fluence of liquor Harvey is dangerous
bodily harm, her greatest dread being
that he would injure her while she was
sleeping.
Owing to sudden illness which pre-
vented Chief-of-Police Mincemoyer from
being present Justice Bare decided tc
continue the hearing until Monday next
at p. m. lie demanded 5000 bail OF
the defendant, 500 for his appearance
when wanted AMI 500 to keep tn;

bail and in default was committed TO

A New Grand Army Post.

There is movement among the vet
Grams of the Civil war in this city to in
stitute an additional Grand Army of
Republic post. There are in all some
two hundred survivors of the Civil War
in Danville and immediate vicinity. OF
these by far the greater number are
not connected with Goodrich Post, No
% G. A. r., at present, although at
one time or other they may have been
members.
The new post, it is true, is still in an
embryo state, and a great deal of hard
work remains to be done before the sue
cess of the project is assured. Never
theless the promoters feel quite conf
dent. A number of veterans have al
ready pledged themselves to join the
new post.
