FISH KILLED
BY DYNAMITE

Hundreds and hundreds of pounds Of
trout, white chubs and other kinds Of
fish, was the haul by seven miners who
were camping along the Ballard Run,
several miles back of Shickshinmy last
week The guilty parties then had the
audacity to try to sell their game to
various farmers residing in the vicin-
itv. But these attempts was their
Jonah The farmers at once notified
detective Holland of Beach Haven,
who Immediately went to the scene
and succeeded in landing three of the
men, who were taken to the county
jail at Wilkesbarre.
1t appears that the men went with
the express purpose of cleaning the
stream of all kinds of fish and every
other living thing in it. And well did
they succeed, for in the eight miles of
the water that was dynamited, not
even minnow can be found. Farm
ers who were near when the nefariOus
work was being done say that the
water was thrown at lOast thirty feet
in the air, and that fish weighing sew
eral pounds were thrown out upon the
bank. The farmers say that as many
as forty poles were used by the men,
aud that the dynamiting was not done
until the las5 day.
Mr.. Holland went to the place as
soon as he was notified aud succeeded
in locating and capturing one of them.
About one O'Clock in the morning an
other was captured and the third was
taken from his house aud placed un-
der arrest about thirty minutes later.
The other four succeeded in getting
away.
Nj Holland says the men are de-
generates and do not live like civilized
people, although they are Americans.
They live in huts and sleep on the
floor; dress in rags aud very few OF
these are to be seen.
As an excuse for tho crime the men
said that they could neither read nor
write, and that they thought they had
right to do what they had done.
Endeavors will be made to capture
the other four as soon as possible, and
all seven of them will be punished to
the full extent of the law
The names of the captured men are

UnWholesome Fruit.

The Philadelphia Department OF
Public Health has sent out warning
of the danger of eating unripe aud
overriEe fruit. 1t says that careless
ness in the consumption of fruit causes
much illness
The Department is right. Ever since
man learned the difference between
fruit he might eat and that which he
might not eat, he has been dcvouring
it ripe, unripe and overripe And he
has been paying the penalty by in
creasinR the tribes of doctors and un-
dertakers
The adult stomach seems to be weak
er than the juvenile. Let a grown
person eat a quart of unripe apples or
peaches and a quantity of of -colored
and sour blackberries and he will
quickly be tied mp in the hardest kind
of knots. But small boy can got
away with the whole lot. without any
great inconvenience, especially if the
fruit has been stolen. Was any boy
ever made sick by eating stolen fruit?
The Department has overlooked one
important point The eating of one
unripe apple has been known to cause
frightful illness when whiskey and
ginger were within reach There
should be an additional warning against
keeping unripe fruit and whiskey in
the house at the same time
And lastly, don't eat fruit until it|
is properly and naturally ripencd.

The Cotton OrOp,

thirty to forty cents hund ed. But
if the farmer paid dollar i hundred
it would only cost him Sl5 to get his
bale picked. Bagging and ginning cost
$50, making Sl6.5 so for bale worth,
with the seed, $42 1t is predicted that
the farmers would pay more than a
dollar rather than lose the cotton. At
a dollar a hundred laborers could make

ADVOCATE A
MARKET House

Pursuant to the action Of Council
Friday night the curb stone market
Saturday morning lined up on Lower
Mulberry street Church street was
named in connection with Lower Null
berry street, the intention OF Council
being that when the latter thorough
fare was filled the line of wagons
should extend WaTdIy along
Church street 1t developed Saturday
morning that the usual turn out of
farmers at this season of the year can
be accommodated on Lower Mulberry
street The row of wagons nicely fill
ed the space between Mill and Church
streets, but did not extend beyond it.
The farmers took the matter very
good natuTedly, although they made
no secret Of it that they were not IN
love with the new quarters. TLey con-
slider their position on Lower Mulberry
street too much exposed, both to the
sun and rain. They have become ac-
customed to the awnings of Mill street
and are looking very hopefully for
ward to the day when they may be
permitted to return to the latter street.
Quite number of farmers along
with some town people were heard ad-
vocating the erection of a market
house and it is not unlikely in these
days of municipal improvements that
sentiment in favor of this enterprise
will grow perceptibly during the next
few months. Several available sites
have been suggested and some figuring
has been done to show what a return
such an investment might yield.

eral hundred people were present rep
resenting the neighboring towns of
Sunbury, ,Shamokin, Bloomsburg, Cata-

would have been larger had it not been
for the heavy rain Of Monday evening,
which created the impression that the
grove would be damp and uncomfort-
able. The contrary was the fact, how
ever, as the ground in the park is of

fond of dancing found ample oppor-

in passing a small street, man dart

chloroform handkerchief to his nose.
MI Hoffman recovered consciousness
3 hours later. He found himself at his
hotel, having been recognized and taken
there by parties who had seen him in
that vicinity. All of his money was
gone Another man was robbed in the
same way, in the same neighborhood,
earlier in the evening
1t is supposed that the robbers had
spotted Mr.. Hoffman when he paid for
Fry 5 horse, and laid in wait for him
as he came along on his way to his
hotel
Mr. Hoffman arrived home on Sat
urday, and is naturally badly cut up
over the loss OF his money.

Reduced to One Brakeman.

From Pennsylvania Railroad divis-

orders reducing the brakemen on fast
freight trains to one man.
The crews ordinarily have three
brakemen, but this number was reduC-
cd by one some time ago. When the
now order went into effect yesterday
morning crews were composed of but
conductor, Gagman and brakeman, ex-
cluding engineer aud fireman.
1t is said thai officials did not want
the order to leak out until yesterday
rs they fear they will make trouble.
Now that the order is known Brother
hood meetings will likely be called for
today.
When the brlkemen were reduced to
two the Brotherhood met aud formed
protests for presentation to General
Manager Atterbury. The reduction to
ono brakeman will arouse a storm Of
protest, as the work is far too numer-
ous for one man, and as it viii force

LITTLE Child
HAS CLOSE CALL

Three year old Henry Foulk while
playing alone fell head6rst into a ram
barrel full of water at WashingtonvIlle
Tuesday and that he was not drown
ed was due to nothing short of mira
Gle.
1t occurred about noon. The child
is a son of Mr. and Mrs George Foulk
of Washingtonville. Mrs. Foulk ac-
companied by little Henry had just
stepped over to the home of Mr.. Key
ser, a neighbor. She entered the dwell
ing aud was soon interested in a con-
versation with Mrs. Keyser, whilo the
child tarried just outside the door to
play with the cat.
In this position he was in full view
from the Eagle Hotel nearly opposite.
While playing it happened that the
little fellow caught the eye of the
Landlord, Amandus l.. Heddens. The
child was then on the top of a flight
of steps which led into the house, by
the side of which was a rain barrel
full of water as the result of the pre-
vious nights rain.
Somthing attracted Mr.. Heddcns at
tention in the opposite direction. The
next moment, however, by the merest
accident he happened to cast his eyes
toward the Keyser house. The child
then had vanished The sudden dis
appearance struck Mr.. Heddens as odd
and induced him TO look closely.
1t was this that saved the child ;
life, for the landlord detected two lit
tie feet protruding above the top OF
the rain barrel Instinctively he dash
ed across the street and scarcely dar-
ing to hope that the child was still
alive seized him by the heels and pull
ed him ont of the water.
The child was still alive and consc-
ious, although nearly strangled with
water and in a short time was brought
around all right. Rescue had come in
the very nick of time.
Mrs. Foulk was overcome when call
ed to the spot and informed how near
her child had been to death.
