TETANUS

Death came in terrible form to Mrs.
Peter V. Johnson of Rush township
yesterday morning, tetanus or lockJaw
developing Monday night and speedl-
ly running its course.
1t was remarkable case well illus
tfating the insidious and deadly nat
ure of the disease in question. Mrs.
johnson was III good health until Fri

to experience choking sensation and
pain in the muscles back of the neck.
On Tuesday morning she was serious
ly indisposed and DR.. n. NJ. Smith of
South Danville was called. The symp-
toms of tctanus by this time were
quite marked. The patient rapidly
became worse enduring all the agony
of that painful and distressing disease
until o'clock yesterday morning
when death brought relief. She was
conscious until the last and conversed
with those around her at intervals un-
til the muscles of the lower jaw were
affected, which prevented her from
speaking so rs to be understood.
The Johnson homestead is situated
near the grist mill along Logan Run,
some four miles from Danville. Mrs.
Johnson was SO years of age, a we'll
known and esteemed woman, whose
sad death has cast a gloom over the
entire community. In addition to her
husband she is survived by son,
William Johnson, who resides on the
homestead farm, and one daughter,
Gertrude, the wife of Ernest Gade-
man of Rushtown. The deceased

ent owned and occupied by his great
grandson, Aaron @. Mauser. The prim-
tive log dwelling built by the piO-
neer's own hands considerably over
hundred years ago is still standing oil
the farm. The old house played
prominent part in the history of the
Mauser family, as beneath its roof
several generations of MauseTs were
born and sheltered, including Chris
tian and Jacob Mauser, grandfather
and father respectively of Aaron @.
Mauser, the present owner of the
homestead.

favorable for "a destructive fire. bur a
timely discovery resulted Iu putting
out the blaze before IT got much of a
hold on the works
1t was shortly after S O'Clock when
some boys passing the plant discovered
the fire, which was then just hraaElng
through the roof near tbr cupola The
watchman was at another part of the
plant and was not aware of the fire
As soon as he heard the alarm ho blew
the foundry whistle. which In turn
was followed by the bells Of tine
Friendship and Washington Hose
houses. The streets were throuped
with people who AT once directed
their steps in the direction Of the fire
In a short time East Market street in
the vicinity of Curry & Yanuau's was
blocked with people.
The two companies were promptly ON
the ground. The Friendship company
had a hose connected and had actual
ly begun to play upon tine root whom
they were informed that the fire was
extinguished by some employees Of the
mill operating on the inside. Among
the employees no one rendered more
effective service than ohm anderson,
a moulder, who at the first alarm dash
ed into the foundry and -oiziug the
inch hose, which was fortunately at
tached to the hydrant, begun playing
upon the fire. The woodwork was dry
as tinder, and the flames were already
winding around the timbcrs, having
burned through the roof and gained
headway on the inside
That heavy damage did not ensuo is
clearly due to Mr.. Ander-on's prompt
action in using the foundry hose.
+. II. Vannan, one of the firm. was
in South Danville when the alarm was
sounded From his home on Sunbury
street he could see the fire blazing
from the foundry roof. He left for
the works on double quick time, but
by the time he arrived there the dan
ger was over.
At the place in the foundry where
the blaze occurred Saturday evening
during the afternoon previous the
frame work was on fire. The blaze was
discovered and extinguis ed before
any damage worth mentioning cnsued.
Messrs. Curry & Vannan stated Satur-
day evening that in their opinion the
second fire originated from some sparks
from the first which remained hidden
about the wood work The damage
will not be heavy. although it could
not be properly estimated Saturday
night.

Aided by Rontgen Raw,

The ROntgcn ray, commonly known
as the X ray, has been brought into
play with very good success in locat
ing the bullet in the hand Of fourteen
year old William Irwin, who was &C
cidentally shot by companion on
June 2StR The boy, who lives in the
family of George Gross, West Market
street, from the first received the best
of care and attention. 1t was impos
sible to locate the bullot, hut the
wound yielded to treatment and seem
ed for a time progressing rapidly to-
ward recovery. Last week, however,
the hand became very troublesome,
symptoms developing which showed
that the bullet would have to be oX-
tractod or grave consequences might
cnsuc.
At the advice of DR.. Curry on Sat
urday evening, Mr. Gross took the boy
up to DIR. Bicrman's ut Bloomsbury
and had the hand exposed to the Y
ray. \ very good negative was procur-
ed which revealed the exact location
of the bullet. The negative Monday
was given to "A local photographer who

THE PROPOSED
TROLLEY LINE

\ great deal of curiosity Is manifest
ed about town to learn the status OF
affairs relating to the Danvllle and
Riverside street railway company,
which was granted charter two
weeks ago. 1t is generally understood
that it is now up tn the Borough
Council and the Commissioners of the
two counties who have the right of
WAY through the town and over the
river bridge at their command. There
is a great deal of anxiety to know just
what terms will be named whom the
trolley people come to ask for these
privileges.
What is true in cities holds good IN
small towns; whenever innovation OF
any sort is suggested there Is always
much discussion for and against the
project. Probably nothing in the line
of Improvement was ever put on foot
that did not meet with opposition;
cnnsruuently it is not strange that
when the subject of bringing an cleo
tric railway to town is suggested there
are hero and there people to oppose 1t.
Frequently the opponents OF electric
railway enterprises say that the com
many should pay for franchises and
while this might appear To be right ut
first blush, = little analysis OF the
situation would show that there is an
other side Every town and city III
the country is striving to the extent
of its ability to secure the construction
of electric railways connecting the sur
rounding communities. The tremend-
Gus advantage derived from an electric
railway is no longer question OF
doubt Tie effect III every instance Is
to increase the population of towns
and To build up their industries. The
electric railway Is to bc cla~s"d with
the steam railway. telegraph, and tcle-
phone. not only rs y CivlliZcr and an
educator, hut as an instrument to draw
the people closer together. y few
years ago the line between city aud
country folk Was very marked. That
is all changing very rapidly and pro
misses in few years To disappear On
tirrly, thanks to the electric railway,
which has made ii possible for the
country folks to hecomr instead Of eX-
lie, to the hills and woods really rs
urhin ana towu-IILe in dress and man
ner, as the donlzrns OF the cities
themselves.
Nowadays the village, or town with
out an electric railway is really to be
piurd. ns it is without one ot the
most desirable agent, for uphulldin2.
Rather than demand pay for ran
chise wide awake municipality
should stand ready to make some sacrI
fee to encourage the building of an

Price of Wheat Goes Upward.

There is an upward tendency in
wheat and just where it may end there
is no telling.
Expert students of government crop
conditions and of domestic and foreign
demands declare that ninety cent
wheat will be a certainty within few
weeks and that the dollar mark may
be reached.
With falling off of one hundred mil
lion bushels in The winter wheat crop
and half that amount in the spring
crop there presents a situation full Of
promise for higher level of prices.
Already the price of September wheat
is we'll established above 80 cents,
whereas three months ago it was
quoted at 20 cents
Europe has short wheat crop this
season and will call on this country
for 200, 600, 600 bushels American ex-
ports of wheat are said TO have averag
ed more than 200, 900, 900 bushels for

Walter Arms is Alive,

The report in circulation yesterday
to the effect that Walter Arms. of
Danville the well known brakeman,
had been killed near Retreat Tuesday
night was not true Walter Is alive
and enjoying the best of health, which
is the source Of much qualification to
his many friends.
The report was started by the kill
ing of an unknown man near Retreat.
As the up passenger train due at South
Danville at 30 nearcd Retreat the
engineer saw the body of a man lying
upon the track but not until it was too
late to stop the train The man was
run over and frightfully mangled. The
upper part of his head was cut of, al
so both legs and one arm, the ether
being frightfuIly mangled. II was
impossible TO identity the man owing
to his injuries.
He was about fortyfive years of age,
weighing some 40 pounds. H. had
q sandy mouStachc. He wore a dark
coat and vest, blue ovoralI- and
black slouch hat.
The remains were taken TO NautI-
coke and placed in charge OF an under
taker, where they are awaiting idcuti-
fcati0n
The mans pockets were found
turned inside out, which has led TO
the suspicion Of foul play, the theory
being that he might first have been
killed and then placed upon the track
to destroy evidences of the crime.
At first it was thought the victim
was the trackwalker living at Rupert
but he turned up afterwards alive.
There were no papers found ON the
clothes whereby Identification could
be established

Monday afternoon.
The deceased was suddenly stricken
on Wednesday afternoon of last week.
He left the house In apI arently good
health and a few minutes afterward
was found lying at the barn in an un-
conscious state. He later rallied some
what, but continued in a critical con-
dition. On Saturday his symptoms be-
came alarming and from then on he
grew steadily worse.
The deceased was born near Jersey
town in 1872? and was therefore in his
Slst year. For some years he was a
resident of this city, later removing to
Kipp's run, where he spent the re-
mainder of his life.
He was good citizen and enjoyed
the respect aud confidence of the com
munity.
Mr.. RichaTt was successful farm

but continued to reside on the home
stead farm.
He married Mary Bittenbonder,
widow of Nathan Bittenbender, who
died several years ago. He is surviv-

Ar odd circumstance connected with
the filling of the schools this year was
that there was not male applicant IN

noteworthy considering that the town
ship offered salary of $50 per month
to male teachers, where as it was pay
