Mysterious Death at Jameson City

Eugene Potter, aged 2s years, was
found dead Saturday morning in a
pond at Jameson City having drowned
sometime during the night previous.
A great deal of mystery surrounds the
case. Potter was the boss of a gang
of men who were engaged in cleaning
out the pond, which is to be used as
a place for the storage Of water. and
he, together with a companion, lived
i'll camp near their work.
Friday night two strangers appear
ed in the camp and asked for lodging,
but Potter was compelled to refuse
their request on account of lack of
room. He offered, however, to row
them to the other side of the pond.
Soon after their departure from camp
Potter's companion retired and, going
to sleep, did not miss Potter until Sat
urday morning. Not finding him in
camp he instituted search. He soon
found the boat turned bottom side up,
and the body of Potter was nearby.
He was drowned and had been dead
some time.
The two strangers left no trace be.
hind them, and have not been seen by
anyone since leaving the camp Friday
night. Potter was an excellent swim
mer and, under ordinary circumstan.
Ces, would have been well able to take
care of himself in the water.

ID. j. Rogers. Danville man, who
has made such a success of street paw
ing In Danville.
The matter was disposed of at a
special meeting of the Town Council
at Bloomsbury Monday night. There
were only three bids submitted The
first bid opened, that of Thomas Cor
rey. was thrown out because it was
not accompanied by certified check
of $500 as called for by the specifca-
tions.
The next bid, that of o. b. Mellick,
contained nothing regarding ourbing,
which was provided for in the speoifi-
cations
ID. j. Rogers who agreed to pave with
Bolivar brick for 50. % per square yard,
Porter brick 80. % per square yard, and
Mack brick $2. 81 per square yard For
the curbins the bid as follows: Blue
stone IS cents per foot Ohio stone 65
cents per foot; Reset curbing 18 cents
per foot. This bid also had certified
check in tho sum of $500 enclosed.
o. b. Melliok had agreed to pave
with Bolivar brick at 80. 20, which was
a little less than Mr.. Rogers bid, but
as the latter was the only bidder who
had complied with the specifications
on motion IL was decided to pave with
Bolivar brick and use blue stone for
curbing and the contract was award
ed to ID. J. Rogers
Centre street is the thoroughfare that
is to be paved.

Dollars and War.

The fIightful waste of war is strik-
ingly portrayed in newly compiled
estimate of the outlay required to keep
the contending Japanese and Russian
fighting forces in the field
1t is Just 55l DAYS since the conflict
began with the Japanese naval attack
at Port Arthur. The direct cost to
each nation, according to official esti-
mates, has been about 81 900, 600 day.
That would make the whole cost of
the war up to date-55l days-some-
thing like 81, lO2. 600. 600
The annual interest on this vast sum
at 5 per cent. is $55, 100, 900.
According to the most reliable figures
obtainable Russia has now 62l,JOO
soldiers in the Far East, while Japan s
forces in the field aggregate 600. 600
men.
The two contending armies, number
ing l,22l 900 men, are eating up
money at an average rate of 81, 600, ,OOO
day. $50. 0OJ, 600 month, or $3.50.
600. 600 year.
Aside from enlightened humanitarian
considerations, the business sense

ELIJAH c. VORIS
SUSTAINS A FALL

Elijah Q. Voris Tuesday met with
bad fall. which it was feared for
awhile might result seriously. He was
seated on his porch during the fore
noon enjoying the pleasant summer
weather. He was sitting nearer the
edge than he thought he was and in
shifting his chair he moved a little too
far and rolled down over the edge of
the porch
The fall was not high one, probably
less than four feet altogether. but Mr..
VoIis sustained a painful injury, ,strik-
ing his shoulder as he went down. He
was unable to arise and had TO be as
sisted into the house.
DR.. S. Y. Thompson was called who
discovered that no bones were broken,
although Mr.. VOIis was very badly
jarred and bruised The effect alto
gether was rather bad owing to the
gentleman's advanced years. He was
obliged to take his bed, where he re
mained during the greater part of the
time yesterday.
DR.. Thompson last evening stated
that Mr.. Voris would get along all
right. The jar ana the shock were the
worst and the effect of these, he said,
would wear off, in the course of few
| days, when the man would be ont
again the same as before.

The Readings New York Service.

The Readings New York Service.
The old saying that Truth is strang-
er than Fiction is well exemplified
in the notable improvements made
lately by the Reading System III its
service between Philadelphia and New
York.
The service between the two cities a
few years ago was reasonably good,
but not Of that "Up to date" charaot-
er that the management desired, and
improvements have followed one an
other closely until today the service is
supreb, and other roads are not only
patterning after it but watching for
any innovation the Reading will make
to further the comfort of its patrons.
The first great innovation was in
May, 1902 when the Every hour-on
the hour" system was inaugurated,
fast, we'll equipped train, with Pull
man Parlor Oars attached, leaving
Reading Terminal. PHILADELPHIA ard
Time the CLOCK Strikes, - every week
day.
These Trains had Cafe or Broiler
Oars at appropriate hours, but this has
been improved by the substitution of
Regular Dining Cars on two trains
each way. Morning, Noon and Night.
The evening cars serve a capital
Table d'Hote Dinner at rate of 81. co.
Breakfast and Lunch is A La Carte on
the appropriate trains.
1t seemed is if scarcely any thing
else could be done to add to the COM
| fort and convenience of the Readings
patrons when another great change
was made June 25th of this year, tn g
| old South Ferry or Whitehall Termin-
al, New York. was abandoned, and a
fine new Ferry House opened to pub

Had Offices in in Danville.

The office fixtures of b. Y. Denk &

it was that the speculators began to

AS stated above, it is not known how
much money was lost. One person is
said to have sunk $500, another 800

VALUABLE Horses
TERRIBLE INJURY

Isaiah Blue, Frosty Valley farmer,
Tuesday came very near losing one of
his most valuable horses as the result
of a very odd accident. The horse
would have brought two hundred dol
lars at any day, bat he had an especl-
al value on the farm, being Mrs. Blues
driving horse and an animal with so
many good qualities that simply mo
money would have bought him"
The horse yesterday morning was
used in the plow In turning around
he struck scythe which was hanging
on a tree, knocking it down. AS 1t
struck the ground it became entangled
in the hroses legs aud before it could
be removed had cut the animal very
badly, inflicting among other injuries
a shocking cash on the right fore leg
between the knee and fetloCk, from
which the blood poured in steady
stream.
One of the farm hands was despatch
ed in post haste for Veterinarian ). j.
| Kline of this city. Pending the vet
erinarian' arrival the horses leg was
tightly bandaged and the shocking flow
of blood was in some measure checked.
The cash inflicted by the sharp
scythe extended in to the bone and
reached fully half way round the leg.
The tendon of the leg along with the
veins was severed and the injury could
hardly have been much worse. BY the
time of DIR. Kline's arrival the animal
had lost at least two gallons OF blood
and was weak and docile enough to
submit to any kind of treatment.
There was only one chance to save
the horse so that he might be OF any
service in the future and that was by
a most difficult surgical operation,
which the Veterinarian without any
loss of time proceeded to perform.
Eight stitches were inserted III the
leg. La order to enable the animal &c
bear the pain incidental to stitching
cocaine was injected into his leg.
DR.. Kline last evening stated tina
the outcome at the present stage i
some what uncertain. but he has hope
that with proper care the animal vii

Dangers of Canoeing.

The idiot who rocks the boat has not
been much III evidence this season but
canoe fools have been conspicuously
active and there promises to be no
mark ed falling off in; the figures for
boating fatalities. The boat rocker
went into retirement when the public
set Its face against him and the courts
began to take cOguizance of his antics
whenever he happened to be lucky
enough to survive, and perhaps it
would ho we'll for public opinion to
assert itself in the same way toward
those who risk lives in canoes.
Canoeing is one of the most delight
full of pastmcs, but canoes are the
most tickle of boats. No one who is
not AN expert swimmer should venture
out in one and even the best of canoe
lists and swimmers should avoid un-
necessary risks. The man who risks
the lives of hims elf and companions
for the sake of the thrill which attends
the shooting of an extra hazardous
rapid is something more than fool
and he should be treated according
ly.
1t is only fair to say. however, that
many canoeing accident is due not to
reck lessness but to bad judgment.
Some extremely dangerous rapids look
easy, while little difference in skill,
judgment, strength and experience
means a great deal when the fraIl boat
is in the grip of rushing waters No
man can work in an office eleven and
half months in a year and in the re-
naming two weeks handle a canoe as
