THE FARMERS
DAILY MAIL

Associate Judge Frank G.. Blee OF
Derry township, was in this city yes.
terday afternoon. Mr.. Blee's farm is
situated on rural free delivery route
No. 2 and the mail wagon passes his
door Yesterday for the first time III
his life he knew what it was to enjoy
the convenience of daily mail. He
received his batch of letters and news
papers, just as he arose from the
dinner table.
Mr. Blee says that the effect of rural
free delivery will be to bring an ad-
ditional charm to country life. Here
tofore, he says, especially during the
busy season the farmer found it i'm
possible to visit the post office more
than once or twice week. He then
h.anght home such an accumulation of
reading matter that it was impossible
to peruse it except in the most des-
ultory way and as consequence he
missed much valuable information.
With rural free delivery III force the
farmer each day as odd moments oc-
cur has something new to read.
Mr. Blee says that at his farm he
now receives the daily newspapers
two hours before the borough of Wash
ingtonville, which has four mails daily
and where the people think they are
pretty we'll fixed in the way of mail
facilities.

Committed to the Hospital.

Thomas Stout was picked up on
Mill street early yesterday morning
while acting in an unbecoming manner
and placed III the borough lock up.
During the forenoon he was taken be-
fore Justice of the Peace Bare, where
he told "A wonderful story Different
portions of the town he said, were
full of camels. He saw good many
around the lookup the night before
one climbed up on the roof an fell
down and broke its neck.
1t did not take the Justice long to
see that the man was insane and he
temporarily committed him to the
borough prison. The poor directors
being informed, they had the mans
condition examined into by Drs. Curry
and Barber who pronounced him in
sane
Stout, who is single, about 30 years
of age, it appears, was formerly in the
hospital for the insane, but was dis.
charged as cured about two months
ago. He fell into drinking habits,
which brought on a return uf his
mania. He was re-committed to the
hospital last evening.

PETER STARTzEL'S
COAL DIGGER

Peter Started, Of South Danville, is
one of the latest investors in the coal
digging" industry. Mr.. Started
owns a farm, which is intersected by
the Shamokin Greek. The stream CON
tains big deposit OF coal fresh from
the mines. AS Mr.. Started owns both
banks of the creek he has an advant-
age in getting at the coal which others
do not possess.
To facilitate the work of extracting
the coal Mr.. Started is having dredg-
ing machine built after the fashion of
! those employed at Sunbury. The
machine. which is being built by Hoov-
or Bros. at South Danville, is very
nearly completed. The boat is in the
form of a fat some fifteen feet long
by six feet wide. The boiler and en-
gine, which are combined, are already
III position OH the boat.
Tho steam coal digger, being built
for X. p. LeDuc is already in the riv-
VI opON' Oo"hJ nlbiI bllC
exception of few finishing touches
and waiting for the river to fall to a
proper level when it will be put to
work.
A seven foot flood is running at pres
ent, which has had the effect of cut
ting down the output of river coal
considerably. When the water is high
the dredging machines manage to
keep at work during daylight with
some difficulty, but at night it is i'm
possible to operate the machine with
any degree of success. Up to the pres
ent high water the "diggers" ran on
double turn extracting in the aggre-
gate large quantity of coal.
1t is much to be hoped that the
rains will discontinue so as to per-
nit the river to fall that the work of
getting out coal may proceed unin-
terrupted.

First Day of Rural Delivery.

The four carriers of the rural free
delivery service in this county made
their first trips yesterday. They start
ed from the post Office in this city yes
terday morning at eight O'Clock and
were back by three in the afternoon.
The wagons ordered from Adrian,
Michigan, had not arrived so three of
them used buggies and the fourth had
two seated carriage. Each carrier
wears badge on his cap with the
route number and the words: UNITED
States Rural Mail Carrier. "
They sold quite number of stamps,
registered some letters and took appli-
cations for quite few money orders.
There are many residents along the
routes who have not put up the priv
ate mail boxes. as required by the
government. Unless this is done they
will not receive any mail from the
carriers. The boxes must comply
with the regulations of the post office
department and must be located so that
the carrier can have access to them
without leaving his vehicle.

Perilous Pastime for Children,

Car jumping by some very small
children has become quite au evil
along the line of the ID. l.. q w. rail
road and if something is not done to
break up the practice it will not be
long before there will be another
dreadful accident to chronicle. I'm
itating the example of their elders
these little fellows, seize the moving
freight cars as they pass and attempt
to gain the step, although they gen
orally fail. AS is quite natural there
are many very narrow escapes.

caught in the act of placing pins on
the track and removing them after
fiattened while the train was in mo-

Sinking a New Oessprol.

The County Commissioners are hav-
ing a large sink hole dug on the East
side of the Jail to relieve the cesspool
which has been in use since the new
Jail was built and is therefore over
charged with sewage. The new sink
is dug to depth of over fifteen feet
for the purpose of reaching sand or
other porous substance through which
the sewage will percolate and disap-
pear. TIL old cesspool which adjoins
the new one was never satisfactory in
this respect and the only way to emp
ty it will be to tap its contents into
the new and deeper sinkhole. The
new excavation involves great
deal of work and will be enclosed al
most to the top with stone wall laid
dry. The work is little more than
half completed at present.

ALMOST BURNT
TO DEATH

The dwelling house on the Rogers
homestead farm, Valley township, was
burned to the ground Tuesrday fore
noon, and Thomas Rogers, son OF
the family, who was in bed asleep, mar
rowly escaped being burned to death.
The Rogers farm, which lies near
Indian Run Park, since the death of
the head of the family, William X.
Rogers, has been occupied by the
widow and a son and daughter,
Thomas and Edith.
The house was cOmmodiOus frame
dwelling. The tlues were supposed to
be in good condition and how the fire
originated is mystery. Tuesday
morning Mrs Rogers left home early
to attend the curb stone market in this
city. The daughter, Miss Edith, after
completing her household duties went
to school leaving her brother, Thomas,
who is employed at the Reading Iron
Works and is this week on night turn,
asleep in one of the upper rooms of
the house.
The young man was interviewed in
this city last night. He said he was
awakened by noise down stairs caus
ed by some one kicking i'll the door.
His room was full of smoke and the
crackle and roar of seething flames
fell on his ears. Nearly the whole
house was enshrouded in fire and it
was all that he could do to get out of
his room without coming i'll contact
with the flames.
He owes his deliverance, which was
clearly providential, to the timely ar
rival of Supervisor Roup, who was out
trying to employ hands to work on
the roads. Mr.. Roup discovering the
house on fire and finding no one about
the premises felt justified i'll making
an Investigation and to effect an en-
trance he broke in the door.
At night there was nothing re-
manning of the house but heap of
ashes. All the furniture, household
stores and every bit of clothing were
consumed. The building was insured.

The Grand Jury's report presented
to Court shows that the public build

few recommendations are made, the
most important being that the county
pay for the telephone recently install

upon a telephone in the Jail as a big
convenience at the present time, one
that will greatly facilitate the conduct

as a number of blankets md other kind
of bedding for the prisoners.

Court convened on Saturday morn
ing with President Judge r. r. Little
and Associates DIR. S. Y. Thompson
and Frank G. Bloe on the bench The
principal business on hand was the
sentencing of those found guilty at

Sentence was first passed on James
Mccoy, Joe. Rogers and Richard Will
son who were convicted of breaking
into freight car on the ID. l.. q W.
railroad Ralph Kisner, who with
Harry Bare defended the three men
during trial, made a strong plea for
clemency. Each of the men when call
ed before the bar declared that he was
not guilty Mccoy, whose home is in
Wilkesbarre, has wife and four small
children. The other two had little to
say concerning themselves. The sent
ence imposed was rs follows:
: Mccoy, whose case seemed to call
for some clemency, was sentenced to
pay fine of five dollars, the costs of
prosecution and undergo an imprison-
ment in the county Jail for a period
of six months.
Rogers and Wilson were sentenced
to pay fine Of five hundred dollars,
the costs of prosecution and to undergo
Imprisonment in the Eastern Peni-
tentiary for two years and six months

of vagrancy, was sentenced to pay q
fine of ten dollars, the costs of prosecu-
tion and to undergo an imprisonment
in the county Jail for period of six
months.

As TO the Soldiers Monument,

Apropos of the article which appear
ed in these columns recently relative
to the soldiers monumsnt, several in
quiIies have been directed to this paper
as to what progress is being made by
the solicitors. Two of these persons
represent sections of the borough i'll
either of which little or no soliciting
has been done and they express great
surprise that q full canvass of the
town has not been completed by this
time.
A reasonable inference would be
that the solicitors, who certainly have
the welfare of the project at heart,
are devoting all their spare time
to the work in hand and that every
townsman will be seen i'll the i'm
mediate future and will have an oppor-
tunity of responding with liberal
subscription.
