Alone in a Strange Land.

"Pacifico Vincenso wishes to find
Salvatore Saracco in Danville".
This plain statement written in a
business hand on slip of white pap
er was passed around among our citi-
zens Friday, the bearer being a
raw immigrant Of about twenty years,
whose face was tanned brown by the
sun of Italy.
There was much about the case that
bordered on the pathetic and illustrat-
ed forcibly the utter helplessness of a
person i'll a strange land where even
the language he speaks is unknown.
The Italian seemed unable to speak a
word of any language but his own !;
how or when he reached Danville
therefore, could not be discovered.
He had also in his possession a doc
ument printed in German relating to
the amship Deutschland on which
was written Salvatore Saracco, Box
No. 3, Danville, Pa. This docu-
ment was referred to the good people
at the Holy Family Convent, and they
interested themselves in the poor i'm
migrants s case, but Salvatore Saracco
could not be found in Danville and
had never been heard Of here. Paci-
fico, true to the signifcation of his
name was very quiet and undemon-
strative, permitting the good-natured
German who had interested himself
in his case to do the talking, but the
immigrant was obviously troubled
and detected and bent his eyes in a
very appealing way upon every per-
son who would condescend to peruse
his papers.
The supposition is that the Danville
at which Ssracco resides must be
town i'll another state, as Box No. 8
here is held by one of our merchants

Mendelssohn wedding march was

mokin Episcopal church. The bride
entered the parlor on the arm of her
uncle, Samuel Heckert, Esq, who
gave her away. She was charmingly
gowned in white Paris muslin and
carried large bouquet of bridal roses.
Her sister, Miss Edith Weaver, was
the maid of honor. She wore white

A Weeks Trout Fishing.

James Scarlet, Esq, and M. H.
Schram Saturday returned from a
weeks trout fshincain Monroe county.
They brought home witt. tham q nice
lot of the beautiful game fish. Their
trip lay through locality new to
most of US. They fished Trout creek,
Ash creek and the Tobyhanna and
Tunkhannock creeks also head waters
of Lehigh river. The two fishermen
left Danyille last Monday morning
and the territory fished over was one
of the most extensive ever covered In
one trip by any of our local Waltons.
The weather, however, was unf4vor-
able, being too cold. The rain, which
here has proven such q damper did not
interfere with the fishing, as they had
but one rain in Monroe county during
the week and that fell at night. The
streams, however, were too low and
the water too clear for good fishing.
The gamy little trout is close observ-
er and water clear as crystal, which
enables him to see the fisherman, is
not the best thing. A high wind, too,
prevailed during the week which made
it difficult to throw line.

WATER DEPARTMENT
Brushing Up for the Fourth.

The members of the Friendship Fire
company are quite busy these days
getting things in readiness for the
parade on the Fourth. They have
given the fire engine a rubbing down
from top to bottom. 1t is now clean
and new i'll appearance, the brass and
steel work shining like mirror. In
the parade it will be drawn by four
fine horses.
The hose carriage, too, has been
overhauled. Heavy shafts have been
attached to the wagon by ID. G. Hunt
and hereafter in running to a fire it
will be drawn by one of the horses be-
longing to the company. 1t is equip
ped with a high seat in front that will
accommodate three men. The bells at
tached to Il e wagon, whose familiar
jingle was always heard during fires,
have given place to large gong fast
ened under the seat. The hose wagon
thus equipped, a new feature of our
fire department, will also be in the
parade.
The drop" harness, being man
ufactured for the Friendship company
by Saddler J. w. Swartz, will also be
completed by July 4th. This harness
is the most modern thing out in the
line Of fire equipment and will add
very much to the efficiency of the
company. 1t will be attached to the
shafts of the wagon, which will be
elevated at such an angle as to enable
the horse TO pass under. AS soon az
the animal is i'll position the shafts
are dropped; the harness falls into
place and the fastening of single
buckle completes the work, altogether
the task of IA few moments.
The horse to be used is already be-
ing trained to the performance of his
new duties so that there may be no de-
lay in case of fire. The big fellow
seems to have fair comprehension of
what is required of him and proves a
very apt pupil.

PETITIONINC
FOR PARDON

Application will be made TO the
Board of Pardons, at Harrisburg, ON
July 16, for the pardon of George
Summers, who was found guilty ia
the court of quarter sessions of this
county OF causing the death of Well
ington Hartman, and who is serving a
sentence Of eighteen months in the
Eastern penitentiary The application
is being made by William Chrisman
and Grant Herring, attorneys for Sum.
mers.
Petitions for the granting Of the
pardon are being signed by members
of the bar and by the jurors who rem
dered the verdict.
The reasons assigned for making the
application are that Summers has
served part OF his sentence and that
the punishment is sufficient for the
offense,
Wellington Hartman, who resided
in Cooper township, was killed on
Sunday night, May 5. 1901, in runa-
way caused by collision with bug
gy and horse being driven by Sum-
mers. He was dragged distance of
hundred feet by his frightened
horses. Summers and companion,
Miles Sassaman. were driving from
this city to Bloomsbury when the COL
lision occurred. They hired the horse
Sunday morning in Bloomsbury and
drove to Catawissa and then to DAN
Vile
They were placed ON trial last Sep.
tember and were convicted of volun.
tary manslaughter. Sassaman was
recommended. to the mercy Of the
court. His sentence was two months
imprisonment, which he has served.
Summers was given q sentence OF
eighteen months in the Eastern peni-
tentiary, of whi h he has served six
months.
The attorneys for Summers will ask
for the pardon on the ground that the
night the accident occurred was dark,
that the horse was hard to manage
and that the defendant was unable to
control it. This will be set forth to
show that the death of Hartman was
accidental and that the defendant has
been in prison long enough to serve
the ends Of justice.

MEMORIAL
SERVICE

The memorial service in honor of
the late pastor, Rev. DIR. W. A. Nc
Atee, which was held at Grove Presby-
terian church Friaay eve was an event
which will long have an abiding place
in the memory and the hearts of the
congregation. The church was filled /;
the services were characterized by a
spirit of reverence and deep solemnity
and did full honor to the memory of
the departed pastor.
After an organ prelude very ap-
propriate and feeling prayer was offer
ed by Rev. H. c. Harman. The choir
rendered Guide Me o Thou Great
jehovah after which Rev. r. H.
Wilson made an address, speaking for
the officers of the church. He dwelt
especially upon the kindly relations
existing between Rev. DR.. McAtee and
the congregation, the absence of church
trouble in any form during his pastor
ate, the high esteem for and the con-
fidence resposed in him by his con-
gregation and the remarkable influence
exerted by the pastor over his people.
His remarks, indeed, formed beauti-
full and loving tribute which found
tire congregation.
A solo "Thy Will Be Done" was
sung by Miss Weiss with very i'm
pressive effect. This was followed
with a very eloquent and appropriate
prayer by Rev. DR.. M. L. Shindel.
Rev. George E. Limbert spoke for
the Danville Ministerial Association,
dwelling upon the manner in which
DIR McAtee impressed other clergymen !;
his willingness to exchange pulpits,
the absence of all bigotry in his ma
ture and the unselfshness which mark
ed his relations with other churches
and other pastors. He paid an eloqu-
ent tribute to the marked attainments
and the exalted Christian character of
the departed pastor and declared that
his loss is felt in religious circles out
side and beyond Grove Presbyterian
church as we'll as within it.
The memorial address was delivered
by Rev. f. @. Armstrong of Williams
port. 1t was mastery tribute to the
character and life work of Dr. McAtee,
thoughtful, reverential, analytical.
DR.. McAtee was man whose very
personality commanded respect-who
made strong impression on other
men. AS to his attainments, the
speaker remarked, DR.. McAtee was
power i'll the Presbytery, where he
stood head and shoulders above all
others. In nature he was essentially
devout. His manifest detection at
times was not from anything in his
own life. He felt the weight of the
world of woe and was known to weep
over the burdens of his own people as
only a strong and sympathetic nature
can weep.
Rev. r. J. Allen pronounced the
benediction.
