Business on the Sunbury, Hszleton

improve the service. The special pass

The party stopped over at Wilkes

The enormity Of the roads business

South Siders Go Hunting.

November 18th to Both being legal
open season for deer in Pennsylvania
great preparations are being made by
the hunters of this section who sntici-
pate a successful campaign against the
most noble game in the Common
wealth.
Capt. William Treas, of the South
Side, has marshsled a party OF well
seasoned and experienced men, whose
fications before the target as well
as in the field are so well known as to
necessitate no comment
The party which will leave foI the
White Deer Mountains next Saturday
consists of D. X. Eckman,J. W. Treas,
Major @. p. Gearhart, James Murphy,
DR.. n. NJ. Smith. David SPOTS and
others. They will not return until
the end of the season.
II. L. Dewitt, the uniformly success
stul still hunter, will leave for the
wilds of central Pennsylvania to join
the party on November l9th and will
remain the balance of the season. He
has made special study of deer in
their native haunts, and has concluded
that still hunters, as rule, are more
successful. and less liable to receive a
bullet from the rife of reckless ten
derfoot who blazes away at a shaking
brush, than those who follow the old
er custom of watch and drive. Success
full still hunting, however, is a science
that cannot be taught but must be

TWELVE YEARS In

with intent to rob aud assault and
battery with intent to kill in connec-
tiou with the daring hold-up at the
hotel OF W. H. n. Walker on the night
of July Srd, was Tuesday afternoon
sentenced by Judge Staples to twelve
years, Imprisonment in the Eastern
Penitentiary.
Is was evidently more than he ex-
pected During court his demeanor
has not been that of one who felt the
least touch of remorse or realized TO
any extent the position he was IN.
Even his aged mother, in her deep
grief an object of pity TO everyone
else, seemed to affect him little, if at
all
About 4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
Barrett was called before the bar Be-
fore passing sentence Judge Staples full
ly explained the situation and If Bar
rett was in the least discerning from
he very first he must have noticed
from the Judges manner and his tone
that there was very little hope for
clemency.
The Court reminded him of the
grave nature OF his offense and how
near 1t came to being murder. Allud-
ing to the fact that he had been guilty
of a similar offense before and had
been sentenced to long term of i'm
prisonment, Judge Staples frankly told
him that he vas unable to understand
his composition that past experience
should avail so little and that he should
turn right around and resume a career
kind friends believing that he had
been pu nished sufficiently and hoping
that he would begin a new life had
interceded IN his behalf aud secured
his pardon when a little over four
years had been served in the peniten-
tiary.
In the light of what had occurred
Judge Staples told him it was clear
that imprisonment would not work
his reform. 1t was necessary, how
ever, that he should be imprisoned, for
10 long as he WAS at la tine COM
munity was in danger. Inasmuch as
this was the second conviction under
the law the Court could double the
maximum sentence. The sentence of
che court was:
That David Barrett pay the costs of
prosecution a fine OF ten dollars to the
Commonwealth for the use of Montour
county and undergo imprisonment in
separate and solitary confinement at
labor in the Eastern Penitentiary at
Philadelphia for a period OF twelve
years dating from yesterday. In con-
clusion the Court told Barrett he cou Id
just as easily have given him twenty
years.
AS the sentence Of twelve years was
pronounced and he fully realized what
all it implied Barrett fairly stagger-
ed. For the first time he seemed to be
visibly affected. Pale as a ghost he
made his way up TO the bar and plead
Ingly asked some question relating to

The BIDS WERE
NOT ORENED

Friday was the date set for
awarding the contract for the build
ing of the Heat, Light ana Power
plant at the Hospital for the Insane.
The trustees of the institution held
their meeting but the contract was not
awarded; neither were the bios open
ed.
The meeting was the regular month
ly one usually held on Thursday. but
which in the present instance was
postponed one day later in order to
consider the matter of bids, which
were advertised to be opened on that
date. The following members of the
board were present at the meeting :
w. l.. Gouger, II. NJ Schoch, of Dan
Vile; Hon. Alexander Blllmeyer, of
Washingtonville DR.. q. II. Detwiler,
of Williamsport Howard Lyon, of
Hughesville; W. f. Shay. of Watson
town; Hon. NJ. II. Kulp, of Shamokin,
and DR.. Shoemaker. of Wilkes Barre.
There were a large number of bids
very important one, representing an
appropriation of $9l, ,000 the bidders
were all on hand anxious to see what
turn events might take. The group of
bidders were much disappointed when
thew found that the contract would
not be awarded.
The trustees explained their course
in not opening the bids on the ground
that they desire to add few things
omitted in the specifications and 10
rearrange the location OF some of the
appurtenances. Their plan is after
making the changes to re-adyertise for
bids, no dates at present being decid-
ed upon. OF course, considering the
lateness of the season and the amount
of preliminary work that remains to
be done it does not seem likely that
much will be done on the new work
before next spring
The committee appointed to get rid
of the 1900 wooden beds displaced by
the more modern iron beds that are
| being installed could do little more
than report progress. With the excep-
tion of few beds disposed of to poor
districts, here and there. the beds are
still at the institution. The conclu.
sion was reached yesterday that tc
comply with the law the beds will
have to be advertised for sale and sold
for what they will bring. There will
no doubt be bargains for some one, al
the beds are a first class article made
OF walnut wood and equipped with 8

ability aud the other qualities that &c
