PAIL BEARER SUS.
TAINS BROKEN LEG

| The two horses attached to the ba
rouche containing the pail bearers ran
away while returning from Elliott
Morgan Pegg's funeral Monday after
noon and as result Guy MOwery sus-
tanned broken leg and the vehicle
was rendered we'll nigh a wreck.
The horses and carriage belonged to
Frank Fry and we're in charge of a
driver furnished by the liveryman.
The team was very restive from the
start. The vehicle was not equipped
with brake and the horses were much
averse to holding back They caused
some trouble in decending the hill in
the cemetery ON the homeward drive.
The driver, however, managed TO CON
troll the team until point was reach
ed on Bloom street opposite the manse
of the Grove Presbyterian church,
" hen the horses began to run and de-
scended the hill at a terrific rate of
speed The driver managed to guide
them Alright, threading the way with
out accident among the other vehicles
that were returning from the funeral.
Before reaching the railroad crossing
the driver hoping to check the run
away horses turned them into the old
cemetery. This did not~tlelp matters
any and the team vas dashing over
the uneven surface when the driver
threw the lines out and jumped. Each
of the young men acting on the i'm
pulse of the moment followed suit. A
couple of them lit on their feet and
escaped injury; others were thrown to
tho ground pretty violently and sus-
tanned bruises of more or less severity.
Guy Mowrey, however, was the most
SHARP declivity, with the result that
his right leg was doubled mp under
his weight in such manner as to
eau SO bad fracture.
The team ran out the alley at the
foot of the cemetery where 1t was
caught. MI. Mowrey was carried in-
to a dwelling nearby where he was at
tended by DIR. s. Y. Thompson. Both
bones of the leg were broken and bad
ly crushed midway between the knee
and ankle. The fracture was reduced
by DIR. Thompson assisted by DIR. O.
Shultz Later accompanied by DR..
Shultz the injured man was taken to
his home near Grovania on trolley
car.
The top of the barouohe is almost
total wreck caused by striking the
overhsnging branches of the trees on
Bloom street during the runaway.

WORK PROGRESSING
ON State HIGHWAY

Fiss & Hartman. of Shamokin Dam.
who have the contract for construct
ing the new State Highway in Valley
township, are making excellent prog
ress with the work and expect to
have the highway completed in Sept
ember
The contractors have purchased de-
posit of limestone from the Bennett
estate. which is conveniently situated
and on this spot have installed their
own stone orusher. They have twenty
five men employed and are finishing
up the highway at the rate Of one
hundred feet a day. They have been
much delayed by rainy weather and
the whole distance completed does not
exceed five hundred feet. Nevertheless
this Is considered excellent progress
and leaves no doubt but that even
with extra work contemplated they
will be off the ground before the end
of next month. The plan adopted by
Fiss & Hartman of completing the
road as they go is much appreciated
by the travelling public, as 1t makes
driving much easier than where the
road under reconstruction is torn up
from end to end at the same time. As
Fiss g. Hartman are working the pub
lilo have the new road finished to the
pink of perfection and the old road
not yet broken up to drive over and
are obliged to turn out only for short
distance where excavation and re-
building is actually in progress. Fiss
& Hartman have their own steam roll
er on the spot and are keeping it con-
stantly employed.
The highway under reconstruction
embraces a little over 5000 feet. To
this an additional section of some five
hundred feet will In all probability be
added. The section under construc-
tion does not reach to the "water
trough" at Wise's hotel within about
a.hundred feet. The proposition is to
reconstruct the highway In the forks
Of the two roads, covering the widen
ed area up to the water trough and re-
building a short distance further
along the Milton and the Washington.
willie roads.
The County Commissioners have al
ready sent in the necessary petition to
the State Highway Department based
on petition from the Supervisors OF
Valley township asking for the I'M
provement of the additional road. The
petition calls for 1900 feet of oon-
tinuation on the Washingtonville
branch two hundred feet of continual
tion on the Milton branch and one
hundred feet in addition on Milton
Branch widened out at public water
ing trough at Wise's hotel"
The above additional section of high
way is practically assured, as 1t has
the sanction of State Highway Com
missioner Hunter, who when he went
over the road recently was the first to
observe the necessity Of the extension.
1t was at his suggestion that the petit
tions were prepared by the Snpervis-
ors and County Commissioners and
sent into the State Highway Depart
ment.

ANOTHER
BURGLARY

| The burglars resumed operations in.
+ Danville Monday night. While carry
! ing off his booty one of them was dis.
covered by Edward Bigard. who was
just few minutes too late to capture
the burglar and incidentally the one
hundred dollars reward which is offer
ed by Council for the arrest and con-
viction of the housebreakers.
The warehouse of John Jacobs Sons
was burglarized and a large bucket of
caramels stolen. The robbery was very
cunDingly planned both to prevent de.
lection and to conceal the fact that q
robbery had been committed. All that
locality in the rear of Mill street is
very carefully patrolled by Watchman
Lewis Byerly during the night. The
time selected for the robbery. there
fore, was between ten and half past
ten o'clock, just after the stores we're
closed and before Mr.. Byerly got busy
on his beat.
Edward Bigard, who is employed by
Henry Divel. sleeps In one of the small
buildings in the rear of Mill street,
probably 100 yards south of the ware
house robbed. Soon after he had re-
tired for the night he heard some one
stumbling about over the tin cans and
other forms of discarded tinware that
had been dumped in the dry bed of
Billiards. run nearby. He at once as
sociated this with something crooked,
but thought it was some one who had
gotten into George Gardner's barn.
which stands ON the bank of the creek.
He at once rushed out to notify Gard
ner and was In time to see man fee
ing from the spot.
Mr.. Gardner being aroused at once
began to investigate matters. He was
walking along the bed of the creek
where the man was discovered when
he stunt bled over the bucket of cara
mels and was forced to the conclusion
that it was not his barn but a confec-
tionery that had been robbed.
Upon investigation, however, every
thing seemed to be all right about ia
cobs establishment and the bucket of
caramels was placed in Lyons store
pending the return of day when full
investigation would be made.
Upon opening their warehouse yes
terday morning the Jacobs Brothers
discovered two things-first. that the
door, although locked, bore evidence
of having been tampered with and SEQ
ond, that bucket of oaramels was
missing, which oorresponded in every
particular with the one found in the
creek.
The door, which is a sliding one, is
secured by paddock. On the door se-
curely screwed fast is stout iron
strap, which at one end is bent so as
to receive staple on the upright tops
when the door is pushed shut. The
screws had been extracted so that the
iron could be removed and the door
opened after which they we're careful
ly reinserted. In the darkness, how
ever. one of the screws was lost so
that yesterday morning there was a
7aoant hole. The whole job In the
darkness was very bungllngly done.s so
that the telltale absence of the screw
was probably hardly needed to show
that burglars had been operating on
the premises.

A Series of Amusing Contests.

The Heptasoph picnic which was
held at DeWitt's Park yesterday after
noon. brought out one Of the largest
crowds that has assembled at that
popular resort this season. Seven two
horse hacks were kept busy plying
back ward and forward during the day
and for several hours In the afternoon
they proved utterly inadequate to haul
the crowds. The number Of people
present was variously estimated at
from 1900 to 1000 persons. DR.. Dewitt
who is pretty good authority on
crowds. said that In his opinion there
we're over 1900 people at the Park.
In every respect the picnic was a
success. The weather was delightful.
and there were no serious accidents to
mar the pleasure. Dancing was we'll
patronized during the afternoon and
evening.
The game OF base ball between the
merchants of town and the moulders
of the Danville Stove and Manufactur-
ing Company was the principal attrac-
tion during the afternoon. The con-
test was rather one-sided one, how
ever, the score being 8 to in favor Of
the merchants.
In addition to base ball series Of
minor contests we're pulled off which
proved very amusing. The results were
as follows:
Wheelbarrow race-Lou Gething lst /;
| Miss Lehman 2nd; Mrs. Moody and
Mrs. Klinger, tie, Oh 3rd.
Nail driving contest-Mrs. Newton
Pursel, lst Miss CLARA Smith. end ;
Mrs. Frank Burgner. Srd.
Foot race, 100 yards, Harry Walker
LIST Frank Stetler, 2nd; Art Walker,
3rd
In the above races the first prize was
81. 90; second prize, 75 cents; third
prize, so cents.
In the boys bag race Frank Hickey
came in first; Oarl Murray End, and
James Hickey 3rd. In this race the
money was 75 cents, 80 cents and %
cents.
The most amusing contest was that
in which all the boys who were en-
tered took off their shoes and placed
them OH heap Some one then shuffl-
ed the foot wear until no One shoe
was anywhere near its mate. The
trick was for the boys to show which
could find his shoes. put them on and
lace them first The honor fell to
Martin Styers and he received watch
for his pains.
Charles Rounsley won out in the
Cracker contest. The trick was to see
who could devour six crackers in the
quickest time.

THE TRI.C0UNTY
FARMERS PICNIC

A committee consisting of George
Leighow, James Shultz, JACOB ShultH,
John Coleman, Samuel Scott and Mi
oheal Breckbill met in the grand jury
room Saturday to make arrangements
| for repetition of the Farmers Tri-
County Picnic. which was booked for
the 18th inst, but which was badly
msrred by the rainy weather that day.
The plan to repeat the picnic in De-
Wits Park on Saturday, September
and was approved by the committee.
Hon. william T. Greasy ia expected
to make an address and the entire pro-
gram including a contest at quoits, ar
ranged for the fist date, will be re-
peated at the picnic.
Metherells orchestra will furnish
the music and the young people Of the
farm will enjoy dancing in the fine
pavilion during the afternoon and
evening. for 1t was emphatically stat
ed Saturday that the picnic would not
break up at five or six O'Clock as many
supposed. The farmer and his family
are often obliged by stress of oiroum-
stances to labor until dark or later and
the coming picnic will demonstrate
that the people of the farm enjoy plea
sure and eore alton quite as much a
work aud when having good time
they should not be expected to quit
any earlier than when hustling around
the farm.
The outing will be distinotively a
farmers picnic and q general invita-
tion is extended to the public cover
ing the three counties of Montour,
Northumberland and Columbia. The
farmers have many friends in town
and to these cordial invitation is al
SO extended. 1t was explained by the
committee that no limit whatever
would be set and that any we'll dis.
posed persons whether of the country
or town. who chose to pack basket
and come TO the picnic would find a
warm welcome.

School under the new law approved
March 16. 1905. Included in the re-
mainder were number of children
whose parents have moved into town
since the closing of schools last spring
and who therefore, have to stand an
examination in order to show for what
grade they are qualified. Among otn-
ers were two who failed to pass last
spring and we're given another op-
portunity to reveal what they could
do.
The result of the examination suffices

Castle Grove Fine DarieS.

The famous dairy at CASTLE Grove,
which has built up such fine patron
age in Danville, according to all &C.
counts. will soon be thing of the
past. Preparations are being made to
sell off all the live stock along with
the farming implements. after which
the farms will either be rented out or
sold.
1t was thought at first that the sale
would be held during the later part of
September but it now looks as though
it would be impossible to get ready
before October. The dairy consists of
ninety miloh COWS, all Jerseys or Aid
erneys and all registered stock. These.
along with fifteen young cattle, will
be sold at public sale. The catalogue
of these valuable cattle required In
connection with the sale Is not prepar-
cd in day and 1t ia the work involv-
ed in getting it out that is holding
back the sale.

PAPERS ARE DISAPPOINTED.
Germany Thinks Rouvier Is contlnu-
ing Delcasse's Policy.

Berlin, June 24.--rhe evening papers
frankly express their disappointment with
the French note. Much had been staked
upon Premier Ronvier. but the Vossische
Zeitung, says Rovier. is continuing M.
Delcasse's policy without M. Delcasse
The newspaper all emphasize the fact
that the French note leaves the difer-
ences where they were before regarding
their hearings upon the projected Moroc-
can conference. 1t is remarked that M.
Rouvier takes a stand which looks strik-
ingly like a police but shamed-faced re-
fusal and the Vossiche Zeitung agrees
with the Post in saying that his answer
comes nearer a refusal than an accep-
lance of the conference.
The National Zeitung in an evidently In
spired statement calls attention to the
war-like aspect which the British press
attempts to give to the situation, where
as Germany does not believe that the
present complications are such as to
Justify thoughts of war This newspaper
foreshadows Germany's maneuvers In
