EVENTS
Pleasant Event.

The pleasant home Of Mr.. and Mrs
W. L. Mitchell, on Cottage street, was
ruled by girls Saturday evening, when
their daughter, Miss Olive, entertained
number Of her friends in a most de-
lightful manner. The evening was
spent very pleasantly, the picture draw
ing contest being a special feature. In
this Miss Lena McIntire won first
prize, and Miss Emma Mueller the
consolation. The saddling Of the mule
" Maude" provoked much merriment.
A large drawing of that well known
character had been drawn on canvass
and pinned on the wall, and each young
lady, blindfolded, tried to saddle her.
The first prize was won by Miss NATL
da Eckerlen, and the second by Miss
Margaret Putnam. Numerous musical
selections were also given.
About 10 O'Clock in the evening a
grand march was formed, and the
young ladies INDUCED in dancing.
Punch was served throughout the even,
ing and later refreshments were served.
Miss Mitchell was assisted in serying
by her sister, Miss Jessie MiteheY, and
Miss Matilda Eckerlen.

Passengers Saw Thrilling Sight.

Danville Ceople who came up from
Suubury on the 2:2l Pennsy lvsnia
train yesterday afternoon beheld a
thrilling spectacle as the train pulled
out from the station. This was nothing
less than lineman in the alley run
ming from Pennsylvania Avenue to
Race street, shocked by electricity, and
hanging head downward. suspended
from high electric light pole. The
train pulled out before the Danville
people were able to ascertain how the
accident occurred or whether or not
the life of the lineman was likely 10
be saved
AS it turned out, however, the line
man was spared, although he escaped
only hy hairsbreadth being cleo
trocuted in mid air. His name is w.
f. Beck of No. 1877 South Fourth
street. Sunbury. He is employed by
the Edison Illuminating Company.
Shortly after 2 o'clock he was in the
act of climbing to the top of high
pole in the alley above mentioned.
Upon reaching a height of some thirty
feet he accidentally came in contact
with a wire charged with twenty one
hundred volts of electricity, oomplet-
ing circuit by holding to an iron
foot rest.
1t was only by an almost superhu-
man effort that he was able to release
his hold and was almost unconscious
when he did gain his release. Weak
from the shock he was unable to main
tain his balance and he took dizzy
drop through the air.
He was only saved from crashing to
the ground by his heavy leather belt,
which by the sheerest good luck caught
ON one of the iron foot holds as he
fell, suspending him head downwards
until he was rescued by Arthur Nc
Cloud, who happen ed to be in the
neighborhood and went to his assist.
anoe. Beck right hand was badly
burned and he felt the effects of the
shock very severely. His escape is
considered miraculous.

MAY Pipe CANAL
BEFORE WINTER

Affairs relating to the old canal
question just how great nuisance of
this sort the people are Obliged to tol,

and noxious weeds conspire with the
sluggish and half concealed sewage i'll

doubly unsightly and disgusting. while
as IA menace to public health the situa

day. That the public all along the old
waterway are crying out against the
nuisance is only natural i'll the prem
ises. That they have submitted to
the state Of affairs without mora
drastic action is due solely to their
conservative spirit and forbearanco
An interview yesterday was had

PREACHING
RESUMES

There was general revival of in
terest among the churches Sunday.
The delightful day with its clear sky
and cool atmosphere was in itself suffi-
oient to tempt people out to worship.
Then there We're no less than three of
our most popular pastors who had just
returned from their vacation trips
and the attendance that greeted them
as was natural was quite large.
Rev. DR.. Mccormack and the Rev.
J. X. Hutchison. pastors respectively
of the Grove Presbyterian and the
Mahoning Presbyterian churches. both
occupied their pulpits after an absence
of some six weeks, delivering able and
sympathetic discourses, revealing that
neither had lost through his absence
any zeal in his work nor love for his
people. Rather, invigorated by rest
and recreation they are prepared for a
season of renewed effort, under condi-
tions that will be sure to yield excel
lent fruit.
Rev. s. b. Evans, pastor OF st. Paul's
M. e. church, wss the other pastor
who occupied his pulpit after an alb
sence. He was greeted with the usual
large and devoted congregation.
The song service last night was a
fine success. The large auditorium was
crowded to its utmost capacity. Not
only was every pew filed, but large
number OF seats we're brought into the
room from down stairs. filling every
foot of available space. The extra seats
were all filled and there were still
some who were Obliged to stand.
Tile music under the direction of
Mr. Vannan proved great treat. The
program as printed in these columns
Saturday morning was fully carried
out, many of the best singers of DAN
Vile participating. The service as
conducted by the pastor was or the
whole very beautiful and impressive.

Says the Pastor Liked the Girls.

Millville is in the throes Of church
scandal which promises to turn up
some very interesting details before it
is finished. 1t is the same old story
of young and good looking pastor
and charming girl member of his flock.
According to the story related by the
members of the Lutheran church of
Millville, Rev. George Easterday, tho
pastor has been guilty of seeking ap-
pointments with a young lady men,
ber of his flock and also of max Ing
questionable remarks to another girl
member of the church choir.
For this reason they have requested
him to resign and Sunday evening
when he appeared at the church to
hold the regular evening service he
found the edifice locked. He was re-.
fused admission and it is said immodi.
ately left town.
He had been pastor of the chGrch
for about year coming there from
Maryland. He entered into tho wo k
with great spirit and built up good
congregation and the members of the
church thought everything OF their
pastor until very recently. Some
whispering was heard regarding un-
seemly actions and on Sunday after
noon the official board of the church
held meeting and going over tho
evidence at hand decided that it was
time to call halt so the resignation
was demanded.
Rev. yesterday who is n married
church board at once left town and has
not been seen since.

Cool Weather and Frosts.

Rev. Ira r. Hicks has issued the
following weather predictions for the
month of September: The last storm
disturbances IN August promise to
reach into the first day of September.
On and touching Friday the lst, no
reader need be surprised to see or hear
a crisis in the elements-rain, wind
aud thunder. The disturbances at this
time will, in all probability, be pro-
longed in cloudy and threatening and
possibly stormy weather up to and
through the 3rd, 4th and 9th.
The regular Vulcan storm period is
central on tina 9th and will be felt as
early as the 18th and Sth. There is al
ways much tendency to prolonged dis
turbanoes during the immediate pres
ence of earth's autumnal equinootial
especially when full or new moon fall
near the ending of the storm periods.
These phases of the moon in Septem-
ber, the equinootial month, always
find the moon on or near the celestial
equator. Hence we find full moon on
the 18th and moon on the equator on
the l4th. The 18th to the 10Th are al.
so reactionary storm days. We may
therefore look for decided storm con-
ditions to continue over these dates.
Frosts in many localities, especially
northward, between the 9Th and 10Th
may reasonably be expected. The next
regular storm period is central OH the
2lst. this being also the central day
of earth's autumnal equinox. We pre-
dict that within the period embraced
between Wednesday 27th and Saturday
30th many widespread and violent
storms will visit various parts of sea
and land. We predict cool weather at
the close of the month. Indications
are favorable Tor low temperatures
and frosts over all central and north
ern sections along with the changes
that will follow this last September
storm period.
