MRS. YOCUM'S
BAD FRIGHT
A Strange Dog With Symptoms of Rabies
Met on River Bridge,

Mrs +. A. Yocum, of South Danville,
while crossing the river bridge yester-
day morning met with a great scare
caused by what was probably mad dog.
The story as told News reporter by the
husband of the woman is substantially
as follows:
Mrs. Yocum was returning from this
city on the East side Of the bridge and
had nearly reached the South Danville
side when she saw a dog approaching
her which acted in a very suspicious
manner. He was trotting along, froth-
ing at the mouth and swapping at the
wooden railing. 1t was fearful place
to meet dog which was even suspected
of rabies and the CONSERVATION and
dread that seized the woman can easily
be imagined. The meeting fortunately
occurred near pier and Mrs. Gocum
bethought herself of the small opening
at that point cut into the side of the
bridge communicating with the roadway
DuO Iudu6 d udSn lOl lIlS UDtilllS anu
reached it only few feet in advance Of
the dog, which following ut her very
heels darted in after her On HE inside Of
the bridge the dogs attention luckily
was diverted and he made no attempt to
pursue Mrs. Yocum, " bo ran in the dir
ection of South DaDville, hut swapping
right and left he trotted of toward this
end of the bridge.
Whether the dog was mad or not
might, of course, admit of some doubt,
but that Mrs Yocum had cause for al
arm is beyond question. Her expert
ence has caused uneasiness not only in
South Danville where the residents have
occasion to cross the bridge almost daily
but also on this side of the river where,
it seems, the dog has taken refuge. Mrs.
Gocum as is natural owing to her fright
is able to give no more than a general
description of the Cog, which might APP
ply to hundred other CANNES The
only thing to do for while is to stand
aloof from all dogs that are not beyond
SUSPECT on of infection.

DUTY OF MASTERS
To SERVANTS
Address of Rev. ]. T. hover Delivered
Before American Mechanics.

Rev. J. +. Hover, sunday morning.
preached sermon to Montour Council.
No. 167, American Mechanics Of this
city. IL addition to the regular attend
ants there was a good representation Of
American Mechanics present. The di,
course. which naturally dVelt upon the
relations between the employer and the
employed was founded upon Col. Al.
Masters Give unto Your servants that
which is just and equal, knowing that
ye also serve master in Heaven"
The speaker admitted the existence Of
social distinctions, not accidental phases
of society, but growing out Of the con-
stitution of things, diversity in the tenn
peraments, tastes and capacities. The
different circumstances Of men, he said,
give rise to masters and servants.
Masters sometimes treat servants
"unequally' by demanding inconve-
nlent service, an unreasonable amount
Of work, or by Withholding wages.
lie then dwelt upon the duty Of ser
wants to their masters, quoting the pass
age: Servants obey your masters, not
with eye service but in singleness Of
heart, fearing God" Servants should
work the same whether the master Is
present or not
He advocated organization among
working men. lie cited the instance Of
David AMI Jonathan TO illustrate the
advantage of union between men Of
different distinctions In carrying out
the idea he suggested that instead Of an
organization among servants only. 1t
might be.well 10 have union of mast
ers and servants. \ union among men.
he said, is good, but a union with God
is better. \ union with Him would in
stantly settle all the vexed questions be
tween labor and capital, fer union o
men with God means q union of men
with men.

onerations, which occupied Council for

Moved Down bY Death,

Miss Bessie Sheehan, whose death oc-
Cured Thursday last, was buried Satur-
day morning The funeral, which took
place from St. Joseph's Catholic church,
was quite largely attended.
The deceased was the daughter of
Thomas Sheehan, who IA years ago re-
moved from this place to Scranton.
Twelve years ago the family consisted of
nine members Today but one survives
William, boy sixteen years of age. 1t
is seldom that disease even in its most
fatal form mows down a family with
more startling rapidity.
Two daughters of the family Maggie
and Ella-died in 1889, five months
apart. The father of the family follow
ed the next year. In 1896 Mrs. Sheehan
died. In April of last year two daught-
ers-Annie and Mary-ded, their deaths
occurring only seven days apart
The family up to that time still resided
in Scranton. Discouraged by the dread
full mortality, which they in some way at
tributed to their surroundings, the three
surviving childreh-Bessie, John and
William-decided to remove back to this
city. They took up their residence on
Ash street some six months ago. The
change, however, was powerless to ward
off the fell Destroyer. On January 23rd i,
last the son, John, died Bessie was
even then very low, but she survived un-
til the l4th inst, - days later, when she
peacefully passed away. The four last
deaths, it will be observed, occurred in
less than 10 months time.

ceived Sll5 for the cattle At the hear
ing yesterday he protested that he had
received but Sl05.75 for the cattle and

Mr.. Lyon as $ll5. Several witnesses
were heard. The justice reserved de-
cision until Saturday.

Observing Lent


Lent began Yesterday, Ash Wednes-
day, and the observance will be general
by the devout members of the Roman
Catholic, Protestant Episcopal, Evangel-
ical Lutheran and other Christian
churches.
The Right Rev. John Shanahan, Bish-
op Of the Harrisburg Diocese of the
Roman Catholic church, has issued the
usual episcopal letter to his clergymen
which contains instructions for the OBJ
servance of Lent. There. will be the u.s.
ual restrictions and the season will be
one of fasting aud prayer.
All persons within the pale of the
church who have com pletel their twenty
first year, unless legitimately dispensed,
are bound to observe the fast. Among
those who are exempt are persons under
twentv-one years, the sick, those who
have to perform hard manual labor and
all those who through weakness cannot
fast without great prejudice to their
health. Others are permitted to take
only one full meal day, and that not
until about noon.
The exemption extended to working
people does not include Fridays, Ash
Wednesday and Saturday of Holy Week
The concession benefits not only the
working people themselves, but also
their families. The use of meat is per
mtted to others on Sundays and once a
day on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Saturdays, with the exception of
Saturday Of Ember Week and the last
Saturday of Lent. The use of flesh and
fish is forbidden at the same meal.

Spring Sales.

The spring sales in the rural districts
will now be on in good earnest, there
being several to be held daily within a
radius of twenty miles from this city.
Report says that the vendues so far
are more largely attended than
ever. 1t seems that the weather
cannot be too cold, wet or stormy, even
all the elements combined, to deter
some people from going to these gather
ings. One of the principle attractions
at country sale is the big dinners that
are served. Scores of people go to sales
simply to get an opportunity of sitting
down to a good meal.
