GROVANIA IS A
BUSY PLACE

The little hamlet Of GroSania, pro-
misses to take on boom since the COM
pletion of the Danville and Blooms
burg street railway. 1t is midway
point between Bloomsbury and Dan
Vile, in addition to which the offices
of the trolley company. the power
house and the car barn are located
there.
The trolley employees, conductors and
motormen, as we'll as those employed
at the power house and car barn, find
it convenient to locate at GrovanIa.
There is a commodious hotel there.
kept by A. o. Stonge, but only few
dwelling houses are to be found.
In the course of another year it is
believed that there will be consider
able building at Grovania. In addi-
tion to several dwellings tits said that
a new hotel Is in contemplation to be
erected on the Montour county side of
the line, Mr.. Stonge's hotel being in
Columbia county.
Grovania is fine center with wide
expanse of productive farm land lying
on either side.
The P. g. r. Railroad affords good
facilities for shipping while the COM
pleted trolley line has proven all that
was needed to encourage travel and
give the place local Importance.
A trolley may be relied upon to
prove to be developing agency and it
Is only natural that improvements
should be inaugurated at different
points along the new line. No more
beautiful nor more productive valley
is to be found anywhere than the one
lying between Rupert and Danville,
and all that was needed was the build
ing of an electric railway to indicate
some of the possibilities that lay be-
fore it.--Bloomsburg Daily.

THE CROWLEY CASE

sions and the attendance Of spectators
was small. The railroad counsel offer
ed in evidence views Of the Watson
town crossing where ]. O. Crom-
ley and his son were killed and En-
gineer Hopkinson, whose Office is in
Willismsport, was on the witness stand
long time explaining the views.
Attorney Hinokley offered the testi-
mony adduced at the first trial rebuff
4al of statements of Edward KIeisher
and David Foust. Attorney Scarlet
recalled Charles Waltman to establish
what cars were on the siding near the
crossing where the fatality occurred.
The witness said there was box car
in which he had been for pulley it.
teen minutes prior to the accident and
he didn't see it removed from the sid
ing.
Charles Murray of Limestone town
ship. was called in rebuttal of the
testimony of persons witnessing the
accident from the Hinebach house.
He state d that when talking to one of
the Hinebach women after the accid-
ent she said Mr.. Cromley looked up
the railroad and his boy looked down
the track before going on the crossing,
a stop being made fifteen feet from the
track. David Foust of Limestone
township. next testified to finding
Murray at the Hinebach house and to
hearing someone say as he Cthe wit
ness) entered something about seeing
body thrown into the air. He did
not hear the conversation with Muir
ray. who did not tell him of it for two
weeks after that
Mrs. Wallace Dean of Limestone
township, testified that Allen Hine-
bach called at her home to sell lini-
ment and in conversation remark ed
that he did not see the accident.
Lawyer Scarlet proposed to offer as
evidence to show the expectance of
life the American mortality tables, but
Judge White ruled that only figures
from tho Carlisle tables could be con-
sidered and ordered the testimony of
Mr.. Slider, con ntaining American mort
ality figures. stricken out. While Mr..
Scarlet was procuring the Carlisle
tables recess was taken.
The argument of the case was start
ed at the afternoon session of Court
but did not end then and night ses-
sion was held to finish it. The court
room was completely filled at the night
session. The interest was intense. At
torney Hinckley argued for the defense
along lines of contributory negligence
and his effort was an able one. Law

ligence was on the part of the Penn.

cluding plea to the jury was mastery.

FOR RURAL

Master Hill, of the Pennsylvania
State Grange, says: The growing in
terest in Grange work in Pennsylvania
has prompted several fair associations
to provide for having Grange speak
Or present as one of the attractions
each year.
This organization is recognized today
= one of the leading forces in behalf
Of the farmer and his family. 1t de-
velops feeling Of fraternity and Of
good fellowship among people in rural
districts that opens up new beauty to
farm life.
The petty church, school or social
differences melt away in the neighbor-
hood where good Grange exists.
Grange members soon learn that they
have not been getting as much out OF
life as they can and they draw togeth-
or in the Grange with new purposes
and new ambitions. The embarrass-
ments of social life gradually wear
away among both young and older ones
and they talk together freely and hav-
ing literary and musical entertainment
pass the evenings meeting pleasantly
and profltably. There also comes the
inspiration to do better for themselves
to have better yields per acre; to in
troduce thorobred stock into the local
ity and so improve the herds and
6ooks. There is quality in the blood
Of cereals and vegetables too and the
members become desirous Of having
the best in these things. So they are
interested patrons of the fair where
they size up the exhibits. Why would

tions to embrace the opportunity and
give premiums to Oranges for Gran ge
exhibits? BY dealing with Oranges in
A. organized capacity the association
would reach large intelligent, homo
geneous class of people,"

rlr. Rempe Makes Improvement.

At meeting of the directors cf the
Rempe Manufacturing Company, held
last evening Manager Henry Rempe
stated that he had added an important
improvement on the self winding
clock made by this concern.
The improvement consists of a watch
escspement which will do away with
the pendulum and wi insure the run.
ming and accurate time keeping of the
clock no matter in what position it is
hung. All clocks unless they are hung
or set plumb are liable to lose or gai II
time and if put up much out of liue
will stop all together.
With the new escapement the Rempe
clock will be like a watch and run
and Keep time no matter how it is put
up.
A communication was received from
the Queen Quality Shoe Company, ask
ing for an estimate on an order of 1000
clocks. This is considered large Or
der and it is more than likely that the
Rempe Company will secure it.
