STRUCK BY
SWITCH ENGINE

Frank Weigerman, Sr.. First street,
is still bedfast at his home as the re-
suit of being struck by a p & r.
switch engine on Wednesday night.
His escape from death was quite re-
markable, as he was thrown about
twenty five feet down an embankment.
The injured man was returning from
down town about 1920 O'Clock. No
one seems to know just how the ac-
cident occurred. Shortly after the
hour named Mrs Sara Davis, who oc-
cupies "a house on Chambers street ad
joining the railroad, heard some one
moaning. A couple of men happen
ing to pass at that moment she asked
them to assist i'll making an investiga
tion. At the bottom of a deep gully
crossed by the railroad Immediately in
the rear of the plant of the Danville
Milling Company was found tie un-
conscious form of Mr.. Weigerman.
The injured man was carried to the
home of his son, Frank Weigerman,
Jr., First street, and later removed to
his own home further north on the
same thoroughfare, where, DR.. j. R.
Kimerer, the family physician, was
called.
Mr. Weigerman' S injuries were found
to consist of injuries about the head,
and bruises about the arms and the
right hip He has improved somewhat
during the last day or SO, but Is un-
able to give any account as to how the
accident occurred.
Mrs. Davis says she heard two
switch engines, West bound, only a
short distance apart pass the spot
shortly before her attention was at
tracted by the moaning. There seems
TO be no doubt but that the man was
struck by one of the two locomotives.
1t is thought he may have stopped
aside for the first one to pass and then
stepped back upon the track uncon-
scious of the approach of the second
engine, by which he was struck.
Mr.. Weigerman is sixty years of
age

Shorter Hours of Labor.
age.

1t is not many years ago thpt it was
customary to work twelve hours day
in some branches of industry, ten IN
others and as high as thirteen to fif-
teen hours per diem in Others, and
which still obtains in some European
countries. In America and Great
Britain organized labor has gradually
reduced hours of work to ten, nine
and eight hours, the latter prevailing
in government, state and municipal
contracts and offices principally. The
half holiday on Saturday has been OBJ
tanned in many industries, during the
heated season, and an hour or two less
work on Saturday in nearly all bust
ness but retail mercantile. While
there must be limit to the shorten
ing of the working day for those who
labor with their hands, that point has
not been reached, in at least but very
small number of trades, and agitation
will continue until labor attainS this
object. The progress in shortening
the hours of the toiler has resulted in
beneficial results to society in general
and in advantage to the community.
At the recent meeting of the Civic
Federation in New York interesting,
statements were made by the statistl-
clan of the New York bureau Of labor,
a. +. Weber, who gave it as his eX-
perience that the result of the shorter
dav was to render wOrkmcn more etfec-
tive, intelligent and inventive; and
he added to this his testimony that a
purer family life was lived by work
men under that system. Even more
emphatic were the statements OF Vice
President Harburg, of the American
economic association, who declared
that the acutal experience of localities
where the shorter hour day has been
tried shows that the morals of the
community have improved. This IS
directly in line with the claims put
forth by the workingmen advocates of
the eight-hour day, and it is remark
able because it brings theory aud fact
so closely in alliance. The observa
tiOn of scientists and philosophers con-
firms the practical wisdom of the labor
reformers.

Backed Into the Canal,

y horse and wagon belonging to
Livcryman Hunter backed into the
canal Saturday afternoon and caused a
good deal of excitement in the vicinity
Of the livery stable. The bank at that
point is supported by q retaining wall
and the fall to the bottom Of the canal
is an abrupt one of some eight feet
A horse had just been hitched into
the old ice wagon formerly belonging
to \. NJ. Peters for the purpose of
delivering some articles at the park.
The horse was headed for Ferry street,
but Charles Johnson, the driver, pre-
ferrod to take Mill street and hc pro-
cocded to back the wagon around.
The horse, however, backed too far
and the hind wheels breaking down
the guard went over the edge of the
retaining wall Had the horse been
able to get foothold he might have
succeeded in drawing the wagon up
onto the street. The ground, how
ever, was covered with ice and the
horse was powerless. The vehicle went
back into the canal dragging the horse
along while the driver escaped by jump
ing.
The wagon stood on end, while the
horse prone upon MS back and entangl
ed in the harness occupied narrow
space along side the wall. 1t seemed
impossible that the animal should es-
cape serious injury.
The wagon was finally got out of
the way when the horse was assisted
to his feet and found to be but little
the worse for the adventure The bot
tom Of the canal is made up of soft
mire and it was no doubt this circum-
stance which saved the horse. The
front axlotree of the wagon was brok-

T. c. Miller Elected Clerk.

The Peoples Bank has installed one
of the famous Hibbard- Rodman- Ely
Manganese Steel Mob and Burglar
Proof Bank Safes, having a storage
capacity of five cubic feet. 1t is a
marvel of mechanical ingenuity and
engineering skill. The material, man
ganese steel, IS so hard that no burglar
could possibly drill it, even should he
use a diamond drill. The claim is
made for it that it so tough as to re-
sist without breaking or cracking
charges of high explosives which
would wreck the largest of buildings
The Manganese steel safe is construct
cd of only two pieces of metal, body
aad a door. The latter, which is cir
cular, is ground into the former to
valve-tight joint, precluding the posi-
Eility Of introducing any liquid ex-
plosives The door and body are Sc
curely held together when the safe is
locked by wedge bolts, which make
the two practically one. In the con-
struction of the Manganese Steel Safe
it is necessary to grind the material
since no tools will machine it. The
safe is securely enclosed in a vault
construction devised by the same com
pany Altogether, the funds of the
Peoples Bank would seem to be about
as secure from expert cracksmen as
could be desired.

One of the daughters was i'll on

INSTALLS OFFICERS

The installation of officers of Good
rich Post, No. %, and the Woman S
Relief Corps which took place in G..
a. h. Hall Monday night, is an annual
event which is looked forward to with
good deal of pleasure by those whose
lot it is to participate. The meeting
last night was no exception. The hall
for several hours was thronged with
an assemblage of men and women, who
with few exceptions were on the shady
side of middle life but who for all
that had the buoyancy and light
heartednoss of youth and enjoyed them
selves in a way that was pleasant to
witness.
The time between o'clock and 30
was occupied by a regular session of
the Post. During the next half an
hour there was recess i'll which the
ladies of the Relief Corps and some
others who were to witness the cere
mony of installation entered the hall.
The officers elect of Goodrich Post

The officers-elect Of the Woman's

A HAPPY
new YEAR

Nineteen hundred and three, which
was ushered in at midnight with the
discharge of firearms, the blowing of
whistles and ringing of bells, was ac-
corded a still further welcome Thurs
dav. in which was comprised a very
creditable mummers' parade, the best
probably that has been seen in Dan
Vile for years.
New years dawned bright and clear
and the day had all the ideal qualities
that could possibly enter into win
ter day. The air crisp and invig
Grating was not cold enough to pinch
the nose and ears. The ground was
dry, the streets and roads were beaten
hard and the pavements were nearly
free from ice and snow. From morn
ing until night the sun poured down
his genial flood of light and warmth
which seemed to infuse new life into
humanity and added to the general
success of the day.
The stores, with very few exceptions,
were closed during the afternoon and
nearly everybody was out of doors. In
the afternoon between the hours Of ?
and the mummerS seemed to own the
town. The parade moved at ? O'Clock
following the route printed i'll our last
issue.
There were some seventy-five men
and boys in line. The make-ups show
ed a good deal of originality and cover
ed a wide range, including weary
Willies on bicycles, Indians in war
paint, plantation negroes, Sc. An
amusing conception was a dilapidated
wagon bringing up the rear III which
the motive power was an old horse
hitchcd behind in such a way as to
push the vehicle along as he walked.
There was a good deal of artistic taste
shown in the parade and judging by
the laughter induced and good-natur-
ed comments inspired as it moved
along the demonstration fell nothing
short of its object, which was to add
to the general Inerrtment of the day.
Skating was SAID to be very good on
the ponds above town and during the
afternoon young people in scores with
skates over their shoulders could be
seen vending their way in that direc-
tion for few hours sport.

One Month More of Coal Hearing

Former Congressman Simon p VOL
verton, who represents the PhIladel-
phia and Reading company before the
Anthracite Coal Commission, predict
ed Sunday night that the sessions of
the commission will be concluded in
Philadelphia. He believes that it will
take from three weeks to month to
complete the hearings.
1T is possible, said Senator VOL
verton, that the miners will maintain
that they have witnesses to call i'll re
buttal, and that the cost of bringing
them to Philadelphia would be too
great That may result in another
session at Scranton. But / do not look
for it. 1t is considerable work and
expense to move the belongings Of the
board.
