Rev. Bryner Transferred.

Presiding Elder Amos 3. Baldwin
has transferred the Rev. Charles w.
Bryner from the Washingtonvllle
charge to Buokhorn. to take effect at
once. The Rev. John A. Miller, of
Watsontown. local preacher. will
supply the Washingtonville charge.
This is according to the Presiding Ed
er's original plan at the Conference,
but as Mr.. Bryner's people at Wash
ingtonville SO strongly urged his re-
turn and possible new parsonage be.
ing some what conditioned upon his
remaining, the Bishop reappointed him
to that charge. Presiding Elder Bald
win has made constant efforts since
adjournment of Conference to provide
a suitable pastor for Buokhorn charge.
but has not been able to do so except
by the above change. The Rev. Mr..
Bryner is popular and successful
minister and Buokhorn charge Is very
fortunate to secure mis- services. He
will probably move to the parsona ge
at Buckhorn next week.

FOR THE Care
OF THE INJURED

The first Hospital car on th,
Lackawanna railroad went into service
Friday last on the Bloomsbury divis
ion. 1t is a model of its kind and will
be stationed at Kingston. In case OF
accident it can be easily moved to any
point and the victim or victims of an
accident removed to their homes in
comfort.
This new car for the injured is un.
der the personal supervision of DR.. r.
II. Lake, district surgeon of the com
pany.
This car has formerly been used as
passenger coach. but has been remodel
ed. painted and tastily arranged in a
light yellow, and vanished so that il
presents a cheerful appearance wi tn
out and within.
On either side of the car. near the
center, is sliding door. through it
the injured being received.
There are steam heat attachments, a
high pressure brake, and every con-
venienoe for making the injured as
comfortable as possible. There are six
upholstered oouches. covered with
black enamele1 cloth, with pillows of
the same material. Each bed is affixed
firmly to the floor each being two feet
six inches in width, by six feet six
inches in length. There is q space of
about one foot between each. A num-
ber of stretohers are also provided,
simple in construction, yet most use
full, for the unfortunate victim of a
railroad or mine accident is moved but
once from the time of the injury until
he is placed upon his own bed at home
or in the hospital.
At one end OF the car is oommod-
ious cupboard, in which are kept med
icines, surgical appliances. while di.
rectly opposite is stationary wash
stand and above it is a water cooler.
At the other end of the car ia located
four coach seats.
There are. numerous ventilating
windows near the ceiling while the
usual windows of a passenger coach
are arranged along the sides the entire
length. The car was built under the
supervision of master car builder r.
f. McKenna, in the Scranton shops.
The work Of rendering systematized
first aid to the injured in that section
originated several years ago with the
Lackawanna road, and the establish
ment and maintenance of the hospit-
al car is another step toward perfec.
tion of this necessary work.
The car also is furnished with the
necessary cards Of instruction, so that
anyone will know what to do until the
physician arrives

GYMNASIUM CLASSES
FALLING OFF

The gymnasium GLASSES of ths Y. M.
o. A. are falling off in attendance dur
ing the inviting Spring weather, which
makes life out of doors mora agree
able. Naturally summer sports loom
up in the distance.
During an interview with Physical
Director Carpenter yesterday it was
learned that the gymnasium closes
about June lst. After that the regular
sports will be resumed that TOOK the
place of indoor exercise last summer.
The lawn tennis club has already
been organized for the Summer with
W. V. oglesby. Esq president; Pro-
fessor U. L. Gordy. Secretary. and O..
V. Amerman, ESQ.,, Treasurer. The
old grounds on West Mahoning street
have been leased for the season and
the courts have been placed in excel.
lent condition. The first game will
probably be played today. he.tennis
club while not under the auspices of
the \. NJ. o. A. is yet connected with
it in the sense that no one can become
a member of it chat does not belong to
the Y. M. O. A. 1t is very popular
and affords in the aggregate an i'm
mense amount of wholesome reorea-
tion.
Although the question of grounds is
undecided. yet the outlook for good
seasons sport at base ball in connec-
tion with the Y. NJ. O. A. is very
promising The Association expects to
be able to maintain two teams, made
up of skillful players.
The members of the Y. NJ O. A.
Glasses last year got lots of sport out
of their swimming exercise in the riv-
er. Some seven members who had new
er acquired the art learned to swim
very expertly under tho instruction of
Professor Carpenter. Swimming class
es, therefore, will be organized this
season just as soon as the water be-
comes warm enough for the sport
The cross country walks will also be
resumed after the gymnasium closes.
These early morning strolls taking in
seven to ten miles last season were
uch enjoyed by and proved very
beneficial to business men and others
occupied during the remainder of the
day with their work.

SOLOMON DERK'S
STRANGE RIDE

Among the visitors to this city yes

illustrates that bodily inirmity, even
though the most grlevous affliction.

the world and cut off his capacity for

Solomon Derk is seventy eight years
of age. In addition he has not walked
for twenty-five years, being victim

does not mind tie advancing years
and he very easily gets over the in.
trinity of not being able to walk by
installing his bed in covered wagon
/ and employing a driver to take him
F, wherever he wishes to go. Thus he is
enable to enjoy many an extended trip
out among the green fields and over
I the country roads that he knew in
early life, visiting old friends by the
/ way. :.
|. Yesterday he passed through Dan
! Vile in his comfortable bed-wagon on
his way to Mooresburg, where Mr..
Derk said he knew the Moser family
aud would call upon them. The wag.
on was in charge of George o. An
man, a Councilman of the Tenth Ward
of Shamokin. They left Shamokin yes.
terday morning and arrived in Dan
Vile via the free ferry about / l o o'olock.
During the short sojourn in this city
Mr.. Derk found time to renew ac.
quaintance with several friends. The
old man lying on his couch became
very reminiscent and dwelt with an
imation upon the more active days OF
his life when he served an enlistment
in the 106th Regiment in the Civil
War or made his living as a shingle-
maker in the woods of Columbia and
Northum berland counties.
Mr.. Derk speut many years of his
life in the vicinity of what is know n
as the "Derk Settlement" lying be-
tween Millville and Pine Summit.
Columbia County. He was famous
single maker in the days when shin
giles were worked out by hand. When
in his prime, he said yesterday, he
built up great records in the woods
1t was his boast that more than once
he had taken tree growing in the
woods. cut it down and worked out
1000 shingles. all in one half day.
Mr.. Derk does not like Shamokin.
He says the town is 'too noisy" and
the object of his visit to Mooresburg
is to see whether he can not rent a
house at that place. Failing at Moores.
burg he will proceed to Pottsgrove,
where he thinks he would also like to
live.
Solomon Derk lying ON his bed pass
ed through Danvile nearly two years
ago. He was then on his way to Wat
sontown to visit some old friends.
