A SCARE At
THE JAIL
Joseph Oaddy Swallows Six Morphine Pills
Monday.

A big scare was caused at the Jail
Monday afternoon by the discovery that
one of the prisoners-Joseph Caddy who
is doing time for larceny-had swallow
ed six morphine pills, each of One-fourth
grain weight and was fast yielding to
the subtle effects of the fatal drug.
Caddy, it seems, has been in bad shape
for some time past generally out OF
sorts He was under the treatment of
Dr. Barber, Jail physician, but was very
anxious to secure the services of DR..
Wintersteen and sent word for the
latter TO call at the Jail.
On Monday morning DR.. Barber in
visiting the prisoners found Caddy's
temperature abnormally high. Shortly
after noon Walter Breckbill, son of the
Sheriff, according to arrangement went
down to DR.. Barber's office for the med
icine it had been found necessary to
prescribe As he started, Caddy, who
seemed to manifest symptoms Of great
pain, said he was suffering with cramp
and begged the boy to ask the doctor for
some morphine pills. Walter communi-
Gated the state of affairs to the physician
who not suspecting trickery in any form
sent small box of the pills along back.
Caddy swallowed one of the pills in
the presence of Joseph Gulick, a fellow
prisoner, who a moment later had Oc-
casion to leave the cell When Gulick
returned, few minutes later, the box
was empty. He demanded of Caddy
what he had done with the pills, when
the latter coolly informed him that he
had swallowed them. He treated the
matter with the utmost Indifference,
stating that they would not harm him.
1t was not long, however, when he be-
gan to exhibit symptoms that alarmed
the prisoners.
Oddly enough at this juncture DR..
Wintersteen happened to be passing and
remembering that Caddy wanted to see
him decided to stop.
He found the prisoner i'll bad way,
the action of the heart and condition of
the pupil of the eye clearly indicating
morphine poisoning. The doctor ad-
ministered a powerful emetic in the
form of apomorphine hypodermically
Thus Caddys life was saved.
Caddy, who pleaded guilty to larceny
and Jail breaking was sentenced on
December "a to three months in the
county Jail. 1t will thus be seen that
only about three weeks of his term Of
imprisonment remained to be served.

Proceedings of Fridays Court.


The entire time at court Friday was
occupied by the damage suit of Frank
lin B. and Charles NJ. Maus VS.. the
Township of Mahoning. After hearing
the plaintiffs witnesses on Wednesday
afternoon, Mr. zimmerman, counsel for
the defense, moved for a nOn-suit. After
an argument the motion was Overruled
by the court and the trial of the case
Friday forenoon was resumed.
The testimony in the main is repe-
titiOn of that adduced at the first trial
held at last June term. The Maus
brothers, it will be recalled, on July -,
1899, We're driving into Danville with
horse and buggy and when a short dis
tance this side of the fair ground had an
upset, in which their buggy was broken
and they sustained injuries more or less
serious. The defendants brought suit
against the township for damages, ,alleg-
ing that a declivity in the road was re
sponsible for the upset The testimony
of the defense on the other hand went
to show that the horse took fright at a
bicycle which nearly ran into him, and
that the road was safe and fully up to
the requirements Of the law.
The jury at the first trial returned a
verdict in favor Of the defendant, plac
ing the costs, which amounted to sever
al hundred dollars, upon the plaintiffs.
A motion was made for new trial,
which was granted. A good deal of in
terest attaches to the second trial and
the court room Friday was well filled
with interested listeners
The following persons composed the
jury: Hammond G. Diehl, Isaac Mowr-
er, Charles White, Jacob Shultz, Amos
johnson, Jacob Keefer, J. o. Patton,
David Ruckel, Frank Rowe, Clarence
Connolly Isaiah Vought and George

On application of James Scarlet Geo.

and John Tabor. Bond in the sum Of

Heaviest Snow of the Season.

The winter of 1902, which will go
on record for its unusual severity, will
be noted quite as much for its terrible
sieges of snow and floods as for its cold
weather. Before high water has wholly
subsided and railroad traffic resumed a
snow storm sets in, which i'll Danville
at least, surpasses any of the season and
threatens to again isolate the town by
tying up railroad trains and impeding
travel on country roads.
Yesterday was one of those days,
which, literally, were unfit for man or
beast. Shortly before o'clock in the
morning the snow began TO fall;by noon
it was one foot deep and the flakes
crowding each other in one binding
mass driven by disagreeable north
east wind filled all the atmosphere. Dur
ing the afternoon the snow continued
to fall unabated, each hour adding to
the depth until at dark the snow lay up
on the streets and sidewalks any where
from twenty inches to two feet in depth.
Few persons were seen upon the
streets 1t required very pressing errand
to take person out of doors and such
errands were accomplished as expedi-
tiously rs possible. 1t was the general
verdict with people forced to be out that
they had never seen the like.
The trains last evening as far as they
have resumed running were either very
late or they arrived not at all No one,
except it might be faithful physician
with patient to look after, thought of
driving into the country while the coun-
try people were few who had errands
into town.
A telephone message received from
Washingtonville last evening stated that
the snow was fifteen inches and over
upon the level, while the road between
Fred Mosers hotel and the Frazier
homestead near Washingtonville was
impossible owing to snow drifts. Peo,
pie were warned not TO undertake the
/ trip between this city and Washington.

Appointed Post Master.

The President on Monday sent to the
Senate the name of Charles P. Harder
to be Postmaster at Danville.
The above appointment, which was
announced i'll nearly all the Philadel-
phia dailies Tuesday, caused marked
sensation in this city, where the news
came like lightning from a clear sky.
The term of four years, during which a
postmaster is generally permitted to
serve has not as yet expired here and no
change was anticipated until, at least,
in the spring of 'O3. What circum-
stances contributed to bring about the
change is a subject that admits of a
good deal of guessing.
Mr. Harder, the appOintee, was in
terviewed Tuesday afternoon. He was
not disposed to talk much on the sub
ject. He was unable, he said, to throw
any light on the why or the wherefore
of the appointment, but acknowledged
that the news was no surprise to him.
He received congratulatory telegram
some time previous to the arrival of the
newspapers that contained the appoint
ment. Mr. Harder thinks that in all
probability he will assume the Post.

THE WATER
COMMISSIONERS
Thev Fix Saloon Rates at Seven Dollars Per
Year.

The Water Commissioners held their
regular monthly meeting Monday at-
ternoon, the full board consisting of
Messrs Gross, German and SchatZ, with
Water Superintendent P. j. Keefer be
ing present at the meeting.
Some time was spent in the discus
sion of new water rates for motors used
in operating fans of the larger sort. On
motion of Mr.. German seconded by Mr..
Schatz it was decided to make the fan
rates the same as motor rates charged
in Harrisburg at all industries except
bottling establishments, namely, four
cents per one thousand gallons. These
rates the Board thought were quite lb-
eral as the estimated cost of pumping
and fltering the water is a tritie over
five cents per 1000 gallons.
It was the sense of the Board that
measures should be adopted to prevent
the use of hose on hydrants where fami-
lies do not pay for sprinkling Many
back yard and many a garden, it is sus-
pected, is kept well watered by fami-
lies who pay nothing for the privilege.
To prevent such surreptitious use of
water Mr.. Keefer suggested that higher
water rates be charged for all hydrants
that possess screw nOzzles Such Is the
plan adopted at Harrisburg. The Board
seems very much in earnest in the mat
ter, but no action relating to it was
taken at Mondays meeting.
by Mr.. Schatz it was decided to fix the
saloon rates at seven dollars. 1t was
also decided to install meter at the
Holy Family Convent.
The Board adjourned to retire to the
Water Works to examine the rear wall
of the engine room, which is badly in
need of new coat Of cement. As Is
well known the outside of the building
at that point during flood is washed by
the water of the river and the cement
has to be relied upon to keep the water
from percolating through the wall. Dur
ing Monday and Sunday the water FL
tered through in large quantities. No
one is quite sure what Immediate effect
the action of the water might have upon
the walls. The situation at least, is by
no means reassuring to the engineer as
he stands on the lower floor with the
flood raging on the outside 20 or % feet
higher than his head.
