the popular idea that a salamander

dure even the heat Of the sun, but

Baby nystery.

Sunbury has baby mystery. On
Saturday morning two we'll dressed
women, heavily veiled, went to the
home of Mrs. Chris Martin, in Sun
bury, and asked her if she world ia Ike
care of baby three weeks old for a
time. Mrs. Martin did not give them
any satisfaction. The next evening
between eight and nine o'clock they
again appeared at the Martin home
with a baby and bundle containing
a fine outfit OF infants clothing. The
one was tall and wore light coat, her
face was hidden from view by a thick
brown veil; her companion was clad
in black dress and wore black veil.
The first described woman carried a
bundle in her arms which she unwrap-
ped, disclosing a tiny infant. Placing
the child in the arms of Mrs. Martin
she remarked: 81 have seen your moth
or and she told me you would care for
this baby. Her name is Margaret
CLARK. Please take care Of her until
Friday and then will call for her. Z"
Giving Mrs. Martin dollar and a
half in cash to buy milk and bundle
of clean clothes for the child the wo-
men then quickly hurried away, stat
ing that they just had time to catch
the train.
The clothes consisted of white silk
coat and underclothes of excellent
material. During their stay both times
neither of the women lifted their wells
or gave any clues that will aid in
learning the identity of the child.
1t has since developed that we'll
known woman from the vicinity OF
Milton, and tall, handsome, stylishly
dressed young woman with an infant.
who was introduced as Mrs. Shaffer,
stopped for time at Sunbury hotel.
They left Sunbury Sunday night. The
description of the women. it is said,
tallies with the two woman who left
the child at Mrs. Martins When the
latter appeals to the authorities to have
the borough take care of the child,
this woman will be subpoenaed to tel
what she knows about her friend. Mrs.
Shaffer.

Warm Campaign Promised.

Several important county offices will
have to be filled at next falls election
comprising that of assemblyman, reg
istrar and recorder, sheriff, associate
judge, and jury commissioner. The
political campaign especially among
the Democrats, promises to be pretty
lively one. Candidates in that party
already are bobbing up at the rate of
one or more a week.
Hon. R. s. zimmerman, present in
cumbent, has announced himself as
candidate for assemblyman, while
there are no less than three candidates
for the Office of registrar and recorder
with one or more additional ones in
sight Drs. J. Sweisfort and P. @
Newbaker announced themselves as
candidates for associate judge yester-
day.
The Democratic primaries will be
held on Saturday, June End. the coun-
ty convention taking place on Monday
following. The time intervening is
not very long considering the amount
of work to be accomplished by the
candidates. Other announcements,
therefore, may be expected to follow
during the next few days until all the
offices are covered,
So much for the Democrats. The
Republicans as usual are in no hurry.
As yet no announcements relating to
any of the offices are made and one
hears little discussion ON the subject.

Deaths Outnumber Births.

The book of the local registrar
show that twenty-one births took
place in this registration district of
Montour county during the month of
March. The number of deaths during
March as given when the regular
monthly report was printed in the 3r d
inst, it will be recalled, was twenty
five, which reveals that during March
our population suffered slight de-
cline. During the month of February,
however, the number of births were in
the ascendency, being twenty-three as
against twenty deaths reported. Dur
ing January there were twenty births,
while only fourteen death certificates
we're issued, a very gratifying showing
indeed. How the record stood previous
ly, before the act to provide for the
immediate registration of births and
deaths went into effect, cannot be SC
easily determined.
March's report shows that the tables
occasionally turn and that births dc
not uniformly exceed the deaths. The
next report in this respect will be
watched with aDgood deal of interest

JUDGE EVANS
y h FIRST COURT

Judge G. o. Evans held his first
court in Danville Saturday. Very lit
tie business was on hand, but the oc-
casion served to bring the associates
and attorneys into court with the new
judge-to make all we'll acquainted
and at ease with each other and there
by to pave the way for important bust
ness, which will be on hand before
long.
During the brief session both As
sociates Blee and Wagner sat OH the
bench with Judge Evans. The picture
was new one. the faces of Judge
Evans and Associate Wagner appear
ing instead Of Judge r. r. Little and
Associate DR.. Thompson, who occupi-
ed the bench only few months ago,
all of which illustrates the uncertainty
Of life and the rapidity with which
changes occur.
Court convened at 9 80 o'clock Sat
urday. Court Crier William M. He'd
dens made the proclamation in due and
legal form, after which business at the
bar under the new judge began.
A venire was issued for the drawing
of jurors for the May term of court.
Sixty men will be drawn, to meet the
requirements of the two homicide cases
that are booked for trial-Common-
wealth VS.. John Sees and Common
wealth VS.. Peter Dietrich. Court will
begin on the fourth Monday cf May.
A deed fromGeorge Maiers, sheriff,
to Lewis Rodenhoffer, in partition,
was acknowledged in open court.
In realleged lunacy of William +.
Hullihen a petition for inquest was
granted as prayed for by the court.
In the case of Horace B. Bennett ct.
al. VS.. K. Olive Thompson, committee,

tion of costs was approved by the
court.

In an Acrobatic Engine.

ga regular circus stunt" is tho
way Pennsylvania railroad officials
describe the marvellous feat performed
by the locomotive drawing the express
train between Philadelphia and Potts
vile, which plunged down the 15-foot
embankment from the Pennsylvania to
the bed of the Reading when it struck
a land slide near Port Clinton, Monday
night.
In its fight down the bank the loco
motive turned complete somersulat.
For an instant the wheels were high
in the air, with Engineer Hoffmeister
and Fireman Weismiller at the bot
tom. Then the big engine completely
turned and landed on its wheels.
That the men were not crushed to
death seems miracle from develop
ments in the investigation made Tues
day; but hospital officials say that
both men will be out in few days.

New Grand Warden.

Christian ". Myers, of Lancaster
county, county clerk in the auditor
generals department, at Harrisburg,
has been elected grand warden OF the
Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows, by
a big majority. The vote will not be
computed until April 20, but from re-
turns already received there is no
doubt of Mr.. Myers election.
There was but one opponent for Mr..
Myers to overcome, attorney Fred b.
Hanyen, of Scranton. Mr.. Myers has
for years been prominent in Odd Eel
lows circles, having been member
of Peace and Plenty lodge, of Harris
burg. for many years. He was sup
ported by all of the Harrisburg and
Lancaster lodges and was favorite
among the Philadelphia lodges. An
election as grand warden means ad-
vsncement through the chairs of the
Grand Lodge.

Death of Miss Pursell.

Miss Martha w. Pursell, we'll
known and highly esteemed resident
of the third ward, departed this life
on Saturday morning She had been
seriously ill for some time and death
was by no means unexpected.
Miss Pursell was seventy -one years
of age and was nearly lifelong resi-
dent of Danville. For many years she
lived alone at No. ia East Center
street. For forty years or upwards she
was member of the Grove Presbyter
ian church. She was consistent
Christian, whose sole desire seemed to
be to do good-to assist and relieve
the wants of others She was beloved
by the entire community and her men,
ory will be treasured for many years
to come.
Death was due to heart trouble. She
was seriously i'll for about three weeks.
She was unable to lie down and much
of the time occupied her chair. On
Friday evening she was still able to
move about the house. Her condition
was grave, however. Her sister, Mrs.
Margaret Dawson, of st Mary's, Md,
had been summoned and it was feared
that the deceased would not survive
until her sisters arrival. Mrs. Daw-
son, however, arrived just in time to
be with Miss Pursell in her last mo-
ments. Death occurred shortly before
l O'Clock Saturday morning.
The deceased is survived by two
brothers: William r. Pursell, we'll
known resident of Frosty Valley, and
John Pursell of Baltimore, Md.
