FATAL BOILER
EXPLOSION

A terrible accident occurred near
Mooresburg last Friday afternoon. a
boiler belonging to portable engine
on the farm of Mrs. David Springer,
Liberty township, exploded, Instantly
killing Warren Mauger of this city
and badly injuring another.
The farm on which the accident oc-
Cured is occupied by John Mauger
son n-law of Mrs. Springer. Mr.
Mauger is the owner of a portable en-
gine and boiler, which during the past
summer and fall he has used in saw
ing shingles and fire wood. Warren
Mauger, the victim Of the explosion is
a nephew Of John Mauger and was
spending his weeks vacation during
the teachers institute with him on the
farm. He was an active industrious
boy and being much interested in
machinery he was delighted to assist
at the wood s4NilG. lie was busy
about the engine when the boiler
burst.
The engine Friday was being used
to saw wood. The cause of the eXplo-
sion, which occurred about 3 o'clock,
is not known. But the havoc wrought
was terrible. One side of Warren 5
head was crushed and death was in
stantaneous. John Mauger, the farm
cr, was also badly hurt, having a very
severe wound in the head. Owing to
the excitement of the accident it was
impossible yesterday to determine the
full extent of his injuries. II is said,
however, that he was able to assist in
carrying his nephew to the house.
The deceased boy, Edward Warren
Mauger, was son of W. H. Mauger,
West Mahoning street. He was IS
wears of age, a very bright and manly
Young fellow much beloved by all who
knew him. He was a pupil of the
local High school and would have
graduated in 1901. The news of the
terrible occurrence came as a great
shock and has cast gloom over the
ncighborhood of the stricken home.
W. II. Mauger, the father, accom-
panied by f. p. Johnson, left that
evening for the scene of the accident.
Both father and mother have the sym
pathy of the entire community in this.

MONTOUR COUNTY
INSTITUTE

superintendent Harman Of HaZletOn
was introduced to the County Institute
Thursday forenoon and occupied the
closing session of the forenoon. Mr.
Harman is one of the most Jealous
and practical educators in the state
His address Thursday was no eXcrp-
tion to the rule and he held the close
attention Of the teachers. He took as
his subject, Primary Work. In
dwelling on the essentials of a teacher
for this grade the speaker urged rhat
above all she be possessed Of sound
health, in order that She may be phys
iCally equal to her daily task and
that her very presence may carry into
the school room checrfulness and sun
shine, which can only accompany &
sound body. As another important
qualification she must be constitutions
ally fond Of children-''mu love the
little ones, " to the ctXcnt Of feeling
no reluctance to taking them to her
arms should the occasion warran. it.
While a warm heart for the little folks
is important in all the grades it is one
of the essentials in primary work. Any
one who has not this fOnduess for very
little children should seek work III the
higher grades. superintendent Har-
man considers the primary schools the
nursery Of the nation" and the teach
ers employed there who are doing
thoughtful, purposeful work he declar-
ed, are doing the "chief work Of the
school room.
Professor DeMotte gave one of his
masterful talks before tile institute
during the morning session.
Superintendent ". W. Stetson had a
treat in store for the institute, which
was announced on the program as
Reading an Imprinted Page" and a
Masters Message. In a general way
| the exercise might be described as an
! Interpretation of art. With THE Man
with the Hoe, " ''The Angelus' and
some other famous pictures before him
the speaker sought to express in words
what the artist sought to bring out on
canvas. He succeeded admirably
throwing into the expression depth
of feeling and great deal Of rich i'm.
agery.

Will Control Turkey Prices.

Provident housekeepers will do well
to make an early calculation of the
extra cost that will be added to their
Christmas dinners The high and
steadily advancing price of foodstutfs,
and particularly of those that are
favored of the Christmas season, makes
necessary this caution.
The big western meat houses. whose
trade combination affects poultry as
we'll as the larger carcasscs, are i'll
absolute control of the turkey market.
All manner of fowls are being bought
by agents of the trust, who 90 into

States and Canada and make their
purchases in lots running from one to
one thousand As fast as the fowls
are bought they are killed, dressed and
stored in the immense refrigerators of

ANOTHER
SUDDEN DEATH

Our town ON Friday was shocked by
another sudden death which removed
a well known and esteemed citizen,
the victim being George W. Myerly,
No. 400 East Front street.
The death occurred about 20 minutes
after II o'clock in the forenoon. Mr..
Mverly was engaged in shoveling snow
of his sidewalk. He was being assist
cd by his son-in-law, George b. Win
tersteen 1t happened that John L.
Russell came along. Mr.. Wintersteen,
who was at some distance behind Mr.
Mycrly stepped aside to let the man
pass. He was in the act of Tcsuming
his task when he happened to look up
and saw that his father-in-law had
fallen into the arms of Mr.. Russell.
He hurried to his side but the dcccas-
cd was already lapsing into insensi-
bility. He was carried into his resi-
dence where a few moments later he
expired. DR.. Wintersteen, the family
physician, was Immediately called,
but death ensued before his arrival.
The cause of death was heart dis
ease, with which Mr.. Myerly had been
afflicted for some three years past. The
disease was of very serious form,
which incapacitated him for active en-
plovment He retired from his occua-
tion, that of carpenter and generally
made it a point to heed his physician s
advice to avoid violent exercise of any
sort Although urged by his son-in-
law and others of the family Fri
day TO leave the cleaning of the pave
ment to others, he seemed to think
that the shoveling would not harm
him if he proceeded leisurelv at the
work. In this, he was no doubt mis-
taken as the attack of heart failure
that carried him off, the doctor thinks,
was suporinduced by the exercise.
The deceased was 66 years of age.
He was one of our representative citiz-
ems and man of sterling integrity.
He was an experienced carpenter and
for period of eighteen years filed
the position of foreman at the Reading
| Iron Works.
He is survived by his wife, one son,
Herbert, of Jersey Shore, and three
daughters, Cora, (Mrs. G. B. Winter
steen) and Misses Stella and Bertha

MANY Conversions Being Made.

night was founded on Luke, 10th
chapter, goth verse: "Notwithstand-
ing in this rejoice not, that the spirits
are subject unto you; bat rather re-
joice because your names are written
in heaven.
The effort was especially strong and
together with Tuesday nights dis
course when he preached on THE
Value of Soul, will he rcmomber-
ed as one OF the greatest evangelical
sermons ever preached in Danyille.
1t begins to be manifest that the
efforts of the evangelist are bearing
fruit in very many conversions. Not
only Sunday afternoon, but every meet

Stag AND
ITS uses

The immense deposits CT clnder about
Danville which remain rs monuments
of its former greatness as an IRON
town when a half dozen or more
blast furnaces were in operation send
ing out steady product of pig IRON
and Stag according to recent develop
ments, it would seem, are likely TO pe
turned TO practical use and to become
a source Of profit to their owners.
Negotiations for their purchase on foot
off and on for year or more past nave
been renewed with a great deal OF
vieor lately and the big cinder tip at
Chulaskv. owned by B. r. Gearhart,
is probably at present as good as sofa.
The dross, or clnder, obtained IN
the manufacture of pig iron, which
formerly seemed to be in little or no
demand except as limited quantities
might be needed for ballast on ralI-
roads or for grading purposes, has OF
late years been put to a variety OF
uses. Stag wool, also known rs MN
eral wool. is made from melted Stag
Cinder in one of its various comblna-
tions is now used in large quntltles
for roofing and it also enters into the
manufacture Of cement
4. L. Derry and Company of Scran-
ton, is the firm which has the Gnu
laskv Cinder tip under consideration.
d. 5. Price, representative Of the
above company, was in town for sever
al DAYS last week, working IN the
interest of the deal.
The only obstacle in the way OF
closing the bargain seems to be some
uncertainty in the minds Of the Scran-
ton people as to what the condition OF
the cinder in the interior of the tip
might be after the long lapse OF time
in which it has been exposed to the
action of the elements. On the outside
it has become impaired in quality and
is no longer fit for some of the pur-
poses to which cindcr is applied.
In order to settle this question Mr.
Gearhart has granted Derry q Com
panv permission to open up the clnder
tin and investigate the interior. Work
had already begun last week, but was
interrupted by the deep fall of snow,
Friday.
If Derry & Company purchase the
cinder tip they will cause a switch to
be built from the d. l.. 81 W. railroad
across the canal to facilitate the ship,

Iish plant on the spot for the nur;

Face to face with death in a terrible
form he made frantic effort to save
himself. Failing in an attempt to
grasp the rail of the locomotive he
tried to reach the plot strap. II seem
ed for a moment that he would be able
10 hold himself up, but his heel was
caught by one of the wheels and he
was dragged down under the mercile5s
trucks, where his body was almost
diSmembered.
Two cars passed over him before the
train could be stopped. Both legs be-
