Young Boys Narrow Escape.

Charles Mckinley, a twelve-years-
old son of j. K. Mckinley, who
lives near the fair ground, had a cold
bath and came near drowning while
skating on Mahoning creek Friday
afternoon.
Other boys had skated across the
stream and he thought he could do the
same thing at a point some distance
above the other skaters. He was alone
when be went through at a place where
the water was above his head.
Every time that he tried to climb out
the ice broke, letting him back into the
water. Finally he swan to the other
side of the hole and succeeded in climb
ing out before assistance reached him.
In a short time the boy was around
town, none the worse for his narrow es-
cape.

New Boilers Will be Installed at Reading
Iron Works,

Plans are being made for the instala-
ton of new boilers at the puddle mill of
the Reading Iron works TO replace the
three boilers that are now in use over
the puddle furnaces. The new boilers
will be made at the works of the COM
pany in Reading. Their exact details
have not been decided on, except that
they will be larger in every way than the
old ones now in use.
The boilers in this department depend
for operation Oh the waste heat thrown
off from the furnaces. The boilers now
used are simple cylindrical ones which
utilizes but small percentage of this
waste energy. The new boilers will have
hues that will permit of more economic
al operation or the development of
much more power from the same amount
of heat now produced. This additional
power is greatly needed for the opera
ton of the plant.

RINGING OUT THE
OLD CENTURY
Grand Success of Danville's Demonstration
Monday Evening.

The Twentieth Century is here. There
is no disputing the fact this time, no
matter how the calendar is figured out.
The fact should also have been well i'm
pressed on the minds and ears Of every
residen tof this city Monday night. Some
were of the opinion, however, that the
incoming century was jumped clear into
the Fourth of July.
1t began to arrive Monday even'g soon
after dark when small boys and tin
horns were turned loose on the street.
From that time until midnight pande-
monium reigned and at the first stroke
of the midnight hour it seemed as if
more than pandemonium was turned
loose in the tumult of blowing whistles,
ringing bells, footing horns and shoot
ing cannon, muskels, pistols and crack
ers.
Throughout the day it looked as if
Danvilles celebration TO the new cen
fury was going to be a moistened tizzle,
but when the clouds rolled by in the
early evening the determination to cele-
brate again became dominant ami mud
dy streets could not quel it.
All along the line OF march of the par
ade stores and residences were hard
somely decorated with flags and hunt
ing, while candles, japanese lanterns
and other illuminaiIous gave color to
the scene.
In spite of the inclement weather the
parade and demonstration were credit
ably carried out. The parade was form
ed according to program so that the line
started at 1875 o'clock.
Chief Mncemoyer and Officer Voris
rode at the head mounted on white
horses They were followed by Chief
Marshal Sweisfort and his mounted and
unmounted aides, Washington Hose
company's drum corps, Company F,
with good representation, large del
egation from Goodrich Post, G. A. r.,
and Camp No. 364 p. 0. S. Of A., Stoes'
band, the four hose companies accord
ing to number, Mechanicsville band and
unassigned delegations. The large de-
legation from the P O.. s. of A. made
good appearance, being the only secret
organization in line. About half of the
members of Washington and Continent
al Hose companies were i'll fantastic
costumes, black face male and female
make-ups predominaring. Two young
men on horse back excellently represent
ed Indians in full war paint.
Along the entire line the streets were
ablaze with fire works. Many Of the
marching men carried red and green fire
torches. The display of fire works was
particularly brilliant along Mill street
from the court house to the First Nation
al bauk. Red and green fire were burn
ing on all sides and Roman candles were
blazing from both sides of the street,
from the side walk ID the tops of the
blocks, making a scene such as Danville
has never before seen at the midnight
hour.

EXCITING CHASE
AFTER MAD DOG
Snapped at Everything he Gould Reach
Killed by Howard Fields.

The mad dog that bit several other
CANNES at Toby Run Hollow on Sunday
morning; was killed at four O'Clock that
afternoon about three miles below this
city. 1t is known that he bit about
fifteen dogs during his mad career. How
many more animals might have been
bitten is matter of conjecture. But it
would be well for the owners of all dogs
in this vicinity to watch them carefully
for the next two weeks.
After he was seen to bite FIVE or SIX
dogs at Toby Run, the dog disappeared
from that vicinity about eleven O'Clock.
A little over an hour later the dog pass-
ed through this city, swapping at every
thing that he saw. He was seen to bite
several dogs near Rogers store on East
Front street. He came down Front
street and finally passed from town
along the river bank. At the corner of
Front and Pine streets he was seen TO
bite three dogs
Frank Ross, who lives at the corner
of Water and Pine streets, seeing the
strange actions of the animal, secured a
gun and followed him. Some distance
below town another dog was bitten and
near the water tank two small dogs were
snapped at as they were playing along
the tow path.
When near Lloyd Lamberson's place,
Mr.. Ross shot at the animal three times
across the canal. crippling it with one
shot. In spite G, that the dog continu-
ed down the tow path. Near Chulasky
clnder tip he bit two dogs belonging to
Mr.. Lamberson, who followed him across
the fields to the Kase farm. There the
farmer, Howard Fields. Joined the chase
with gun. He shot the animal five
times before he fell. Two more shots at
close range ended the dogs career.
The animal was large, rough haired,
ugly looking brute weighing sixty or
seventy pounds.
Mr.. Lamberson Immediately killed
one of his dogs, and he has penned the
other one up to keep it for ten days or
more. All dogs that were bitten should
either be killed at once or securely fast
ened and muzzled until all danger of
hydrophobia is passed. Ithas also been
suggested that the city authorities
should keep close watch, ready to take
summary measures should any of the
dogs of the city develop the rabies.

and the one who in each case did the
actual robbing. Before the warrant was
served he got out of town on a freight
train. 1t was afterwards learned that he
was in Catawissa that day and it was
known afterward that he passed through
town on a Reading freight train on the
next Friday. The police also heard that
he was seen in Milton about week ago.
Since the crime the authorities of all
the neighboring towns have been keep
ing a watch for the fellow. On Satur-
day evening Constable Elias Gottshall,
of Shamokin, who knew Barrett, saw
him entering saloon. He kept his
eye on him and summoned Special Offic
er Henry Shoveln. Together the offic-
ers arrested Barrett and a fellow who
was with him and who gave his name as
Murphy. Murphy is still held in Jail at
Shamokin until the authorities can learn
whether he is wanted anywhere. The
local authorities, from the description,
say that they know of no charge against
him. Cons able Gottshall brought Bar
rett to this city yesterday afternoon.
When asked at the Jail where he has
been since leaving Danville, Barrett re-
piled "Oh, everywhere" He came to
Shamokin on Saturday from Mahanoy

Nearly Asphyxiated.

Coal gas from a heating stove came
near claiming two victims on Cooper
street early Thursday morning. The
timely discovery of the situation prob
ably saved the lives of Mrs. William
Gatfney, of Mahanoy Plane, and her
sister-in-law, Miss Minnie Gatfney, of
Philadelphia As it was both women
were very sick, but they had about re.
covered last evening.
Mr. and Mrs. William Gaffney
and their baby and Miss Gatfney spent
Christmas with their parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Matthew Gaffney of No. 104 Coop
er street. On Wednesday night the
young women and the baby slept to-
gether. A register il their room OPEN
ed from the "double-heater" stove in
the sitting room below. On retiring the
famil ly unintentionally left door of this
stove open and the draughts turned the
wrong way.
About five o'clock Friday morning
the young women were awakened by
the baby. Both of them had bad head
aches and queer feeling which they
could not understand. They also wond
cred what caused the horrible taste in
their mouths.
When Mrs. Gaffney got out of bed she
was so dizzy that she could hardly stand
and when Miss Gdtfney arose she at
once fell to the floor. Although she was
nearly unconscious, Miss Gaffney then
realized what vas the matter and sue
ceeded in shutting off the register.
Other members of the family were
alarmed and means were at once taken to
relieve the sufferers. DR.. Paules was
summoned and soon had the young wo-
men on the road to recovery.
The baby was more covered by the
bed clothes so that it did not inhale so
much of the gas, and it was not very
sick. But it was enough affected so
that il cried aud woke up the others.

SHE WAS NOT
DROWNED
But Mrs. Hartheb Hid for Five Days Un-
der Porch and in Attic.

The mystery of the disappearance of
Mrs. Lizzie Hartlieb was solved Sun
day morning when she was found lying
on the bed in her room at the home of
julius Helm, where she was employed
as domestic. 1t was supposed that
the woman had drowned herself by
jumping into the river. Instead she was
hiding for over five days and five nights
under the porch and in the attic of the
Helm house, as she says trying to keep
away from the man who wants to get me
to kill me-"
1t is believed that the woman is de-
mented. She was accordingly placed in
Jail and a telegram was sent to her sister
who lives at Shepton, Luzerne county.
Nothing was seen of the woman since
she retired on Monday night. Sun
day morning about ten o'clock Mrs.
Helm carried an apron and prayer book
up to Mrs. Hartlieb's room to place them
with other articles belonging to the wo-
man. What was her surprise to find the
woman lying on her bed as unconcerned
as though nothing had happened.
"Why Lizzie Where have you been?"
exclaimed Mrs. Helm.
''Up there" answered the woman un-
concernedly pointing to small scuttle
hole leading from her room into little
unfinished attic. No step ladder nor
anything else on which she could stand
to reach this hole to climb up was in the
room, but few feet from the hole the
plaster was broken off where she had
stepped, proving that she had been in
the attic.
When she was questioned, she said
that the first two days and nights after
she disappeared she was lying under the
front porch of the house, exposed to the
weather. A window from the basement
dining room opens under this porch. She
says she went out this window early on
Christmas morning and closed the shut
ters after her. When an examination
was made, her hat and cape we're found
under the porch where she had used
them for bed. Her clothes and cape
were the only covering that she had
while hiding and sleeping in this expos
ed place.
The woman SAYS that on Wednes lay
night she re-entered the house through
the dining room window, went TO her
room and climbed to the attic where she
has since been hiding.
When she was asked whether she had
eaten anything, she said that she came
down from the attic on Saturday night
and got a piece of bread and an apple.
No sign was discovered of her having
eaten anything else during the five
days.

reports from all departments of the

the prayer and praise service was held
in the auditorium. and the last hour of
the century was impressively passed in
