Appraisers For Rolling Mill.

1t is expected that some time this
week appraisers, appointed by the re-
ceivers of G. K. Baird & Co., will be in
Danvile to look over the property of
the Danville Rolling mill to determine
on its valuation and the best thing to be
done with that property. Those APP
praisers were appointed in Philadelphia
last week.
1t is understood thatthree propositions
in regard to the future of the Danville
plant are now under consideration by
the Baird & Co. receivers. The accept
ance of either of them means the start
ing of the plant at an early date.
One proposition is from firm which
desires to lease and operate the plant.
Another is from firm that has made
proposition for the purchase of the plant
outright, with the intention of operat-
ing il as soon as the affairs can be
Strengthened out.
The appraisers have been apponte ed
to look the property over to determine
which proposition will be the best for
the creditors of Baird & Co.. or whether
it will be more profitable for the credit
ors to perfect reorganization scheme
and operate the plant themselves. 1t is
expected that one of these plans will be
adopted as soon as the appraisers re-
port, and that whatever this report may
recommend, that the plant will soon be
put in operation.

in place of the naked kerosene lamps
that have heretofore been used. If these
lamps prove satisfactory, it is the inten-
ton to introduce them throug hout the
works. So far the experiment is giving
the best of satisfaction, for not only is
the light better, but the smoke of the
old lamps is done away with.
1t is stated that the outlook for con-

NIGHT SCHOOL
TO Be CLOSED
Last Session to be Held This Evening At
tendance Fallen to Nine.

Because of the lack of interest on the
part of the parents and the poor attend
ance of of the pupils, Danville's public
night school will be closed on Thursday
night, after having been i'll operation a
little over three months. The school
started off with much promise on Oct
ober %, and within less than week
over 100 pupils had been enrolled. Since
then the attendance has gradually drop
ped each month until it was reported at
the meeting of the School Board Mon
day night that the attendance on some
nights has been only four while the
average so far this month has been ONLY
nine.
Director Green was opposed to clos
ing the school, and moved to reconsid-
er the resolution passed at the last meet
ing of the Board ordering the school
closed at the end of the month if the at
tendance did not improve. On the call
for the yeas and uays on Mr.. Green's
motion, every Director present voted
against it except Mr.. Green. Several of
the Directors expressed their opinion
that it is disgrace to the town that the
school has to be closed, but they believe
they have right to take no other course
since so little interest is shown in the
school.
The meeting was attended by Directors
Fischer, Keefer, Lunger, Orth, Green,
Burger, Barber, Harpel and Werkheiser.
Truant Officer Young reported that sew
eral children have been placed back in
school this month, but he believes his
services would be more effective if a lock
box were placed in each school, into
which teachers can place reports of alb
sent pupils for him. He said that some
of the children have learned how to
watch for him, when he only works af-
ternoons, and are absent in the morning
and are present in the afternoon. His
suggestion was adopted, and the school
committee was directed to place small
lock boxes in each school building tor
this purpose.
J. r. Wallize presented proposition
for installing into the school building an
electric automatic program clock, that
will work a system of signals for the diff
ferent recitations, recesses, etc. The
was referred to the supply
Superintendent Houser's report for

Squire Bare Dismissed Action Brought By
G, W, Hunter,

Squire Bare Monday completed the
hearing and rendered a decision in the
case of Clark W. Hunter against P w.
Leas. Hunter charged Leas with un-
lawfully taking property in which he
claimed to own an interest. Several
days ago, Grant Ridgeway, who for some
time conducted livery in the rear of
Ricketts, store, went to Sunbury. Soon
after that he gave Mr.. Leas an order on
Mrs. Ridgeway for a team of horses, a
carriage and several sets OF harness.
After these goods had been taken, Mr..
Hunter claimed that he was a partner of
Ridgeway, that the property had been
taken without his consent, and he swore
out a warrant for Mr.. Leas. From the
evidence, Squire Bare decided that
Hunter had no claim on the property,
aud dismissed the case with costs to be
paid by Hunter.

WINTERSTEEN
WAS SENTENCED
To Eleven Years and Nine Months in the
Eastern Penitentiary.

"The sentence of this court is that you
pay the costs of prosecution, a fine of
! $500 and undergo imprisonment in
separate or solitary confinement at hard
labor in the Eastern Penitentiary for a
period of eleven years and nine calendar
months"
The above sentence, imposed yester-
day morning by Judge Little on Boyd
Wintersteen, was the closing act of the
most important criminal trial in Mon
! tour county in many years. The only
| official act that now remains, before the
| history of the murder of Martin l.. Fish
er will be closed, will be that of Sheriff
| Breckbill to convey Wintersteen to
Cherry Hill, which he did today,
Although Wintersteen was nervous
throughout his trial, he did not break
! down until sentence was being pronoun-
ced. He came into court, apparently un-
| concerned. +. S. Gearhart, Esq, one
of his attorneys, announced that 10
papers had been filed in the application
| for new trial, and that the defense was
ready to have the motion for a stay of
judgment vacated. When Judge Little
asked the prisoner whether he had any
thing to say why sentence should not be
imposed on him, Wintersteen replied in
clear tone that he had not.
Before he pronounced sentence, Judge
Little said in part:
"Mr. Wintersteen, we believe, after
listening to the testimony of this case,
that you have cause for congratulation
The verdict might have been more SER
ious to you. On the other hand, we be-
lieve at the same time that the public
has good cause also for congratulation,
because, had not the case been prosecut-
ed with such signal skill and ability,
justice might have been frustrated COM
petely.
"The jury did not accept as true eth
er of your propositions of defense. The
testimony of the persons whom you met
after the shooting down along the canal,
showed that you acted strangely, step
ping into the canal and out again, and |
made motion as # to shoot yourself
with the revolver, yet we believe it was
the natural conduct of man under like /.
circumstances, highly excited and feel
ing the consequences of his act. 1t was
very natural for you to have wrung your
hands and to have said: What will
poor mother think p If ever there is a |
time in boys life that he does think of .
his mother, who has cared for him and .
watched over him, it is under such cir
as those.
"The testimony in the case shows .
that you have been good man hereto
fore, an industrious man, obedient to .
orders and good employe. l do hope,
and it is the sincere wish Of everybody .
believe, that your aged mother may
have the peace and fortitude to sustain
her in these days"
When he mentioned Wintersteen's
aged mother, the prisoner broke down
and wept
Wintersteen was greatly overcome, par
after he was taken back to the
Jail, where his brothers had confer
ence with him. At that meeting he
showed the most emotion that ne has
since the first excitement Immediately
the commission of his crime.
