ming in The Court.

The transgressors OF the law are
now having an inning in the dis
trict court. A large crowd was in
attendance this morning when the
criminal docket was called for trial
Owing to the crowded condition of
this docket one week was taken for
the civil department of the court
and added to the criminal, thus
equally dividing the term betwee
the two dockets. The criminal dock
ct is heavier than ii has been for
! a number of years. There are now
forty-four cases pending with a prob
ability of the jury returning sew
eral more felony indictments. There
are seven capital offenses, one for
criminal assault and six for murder
Besides a number of cases for forg-
cry and burglary there are several
for assault to murder Five indiCt~
ments for assault 10 murder were re-
turned by the grand jury last week.
shortly after court convened this
morning twelve prisoners were
marched In a body from the Jail to
the court room to have their cases
set for trial. Several of the number
had not engaged counsel and att6r-
neys were appointed by the court to
defend them.

300 Horse
POWER ENGINE

Church street was the center of in.
terest for several hoors Monday to a
large crowd Of men who were anxious
to see what success F. q. Hartman
would have In hauling his large eight
hundred horse power engine from the
D. L. g. W. siding to the silk mill.
Profting by Saturdays experience
Mr.. Hartman Monday dismissed the
horses and to take their places had
two traction engines on the ground.
During an interview some interesting
facts were learned. Mr.. Hartman stat.
ed that ten horses " re hitohed to the
truck Saturday. but their inability to
move the load was due not so much to
the weight Is to the fact that the ten
horses unused to working In the same
team could not be induced to pull to.
gssher. Another trouble lay in the
fhct that when ever spot was reach.
ed where the street had been lately dug
up in connection with the laying or re-
pair of gas or water pipe. the wheels
Of the heavily loaded truck took sud-
don drop in up to the hub.
Although better results were expect
ed from the traction engines than from
the ten horses they were not proof
against the truck becoming mired. AS
. preoaution against the latter con-
tingency Mr.. Hartman procured lot
of angle iron In the form of scrap which
he laid on the ground In an inverted
position where they answered admir-
ably as rails to carry the truck. The
bars each some twelve feet long were
eight in number and after starting up
the engine 1t was possible to keep the
truck moving nearly steadily by pick.
ing up the rails at the rear Of the odd
ly improvised train and carrying
them forward where they repeatedly
did service in bearing the truck. One
engine-ownsd by Alfred Blecher-
proved sufficient for all the motive
power needed while the other-owned
by Mr.. Stetler-was held in reserve.
There was q good deal of conjecture
as to what the weight of the mopster
300 horse power engine might be. The
most knowing ones, however, proved
to be poor guessers. Few went as high
! as twelve tons. while the actual weight
according to Mr.. Hartman was sixteen
tons. This was the bare cylinder and
the smaller part, that went with it,
however. The weight of the engine
in its entirety when installed is 1l2
tons. The monster shaft alone, which
has not yet been removed from the
cars. weighs "a tons.
The engine. which is of the eros )
compound condensing pattern. is a
wonder and will be installed IN the
silk mill to take the place of the 400
horse power engine, In use for some
years past. TIE installation of this
larger engine, which has become a
necessity, attests very eloquently both
to the steady growth of his business
and the corresponding increase of cap
acity which Mr.. Hartman has been
obliged to bring about at his plant.

PASTOR RESIGNS
: HIS CHARGE

At the morning service. Sunday. In
Shiloh Reformed church. Rev. George
e. Limbert, announced to the con.
areaaton that it was his intention In
the near future, to resign rs their past
or, for the purpose of accepting a
unanimous call to become pastor Of
Trinity Reformed church Of Altoona.
This decision was received with deep
regret by the members, many of whom
being so overcome by their emotions as
to be moved to tears.
Rev. Mr.. Limbert Is greatly beloved
BY his congregation who are very re-
luotant to part with him. AS he stat
ed. in his remarks, 1t is equally pain
full for him to separate. as his rela-
tions with the congregation have been
very cordial and pleasant. No friction
whatever exists the work IN all de-
partments of the church has been pros
pering, and he likes Danville; but the
call to labor elsewhere had come to
him unsolicited and unsought and in
such q manner that he felt 1t was the
call of the Master, and his duty was
to consider the same favorably.
Rev. Mr.. Limbert is an earnest, con-
secrated, hard working pastor. and, as
result of his pastorate all depart
ments of church work in Shiloh Re-
formed church are prospering, The
membership of the congregation and
Sunday school are larger than at any
time in its history, and the finances
are in excellent shape. The congrega-
tionsl expenses are promptly met each
month, and the amount contributed tc
the church at large has grown steadi.
ly with each succeeding year.
It was, indeed, a sad and sorrowful
people that departed from the church
at the close of the service.

Berwick is Prosperous.

Berwick is just now enjoying a sea-
son of great prosperity. This is due
to the rush of orders at the big plant
of the American Gar & Foundry Com
pany.
There we're shipped from the works
last week 1870 of the Pennsy lvania steel
underframes 100, 900 pounds capacity
box cars. These cars placed in line
would reach over mile.
The company has received many
large orders for railroad oars and the
untitled orders on the company's books
now aggregate about 40, 600 cars.
Inquiries for cars are coming in from
railroads in all parts of the country.
and the indications are that business
will continue good for an indefinite
period.
The increased business will result in
larger profits, and dividends on the
common stock will be resumed some
time during the coming summer or
fall.

A Lenten Attraction.

The coming engagement at the Dam
Vile Theatre is of more than ordinary
interest to theatre goers. inasmuch as
this. being the Lenten season, it is
difficult to attract to places of amuse-
ment those who hold strictly to the re-.
quisites Of their various creeds. "A
Royal Slave" is a beautiful Christian
story OF Old Mexico. a series of pic
lures of life in that country of rom
anoe.
Ministers and priests have been
unanimous this season in exhorting
their congregation to go and see the
production of "a Royal Slave" be-.
cause it savors more of the atmosphere
OF the Chapel than the Theatre. 1t has
not been an uncommon sight during
this Lenten season to see the stage
boxes entirely filled with clergymen of
all denominations witnessing a per-
formanoe of this morally uplifting
drama.
