The Fortunate Small Bow.

Though the wreck at Halifax on Sat-
urday brought dismay to the officials
of the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany, it brought only JOY to the hearts
of the youth of Halifax. In the wreck
ed train one of the cars was loaded
with sugar and tons of sweetness were
scattered over the tracks and on the
bank. Two cars had Christmas toys
and candy and very little Of this
freight escaped damage. Great guam
titles of the sweetmeats were left
where they fell as being unmarketable
even as damaged goods The small boy
reaped rich harvest and on Christ
mas morning he will not have to look
to his stocking for his annual supply
of candy.

Have Probably Passed On.

The visit of expert burglars, a full
account of which was printed in News
columns Yesterday, has caused a good
deal of uneasiuess among house keep
ers lest the thieves should decide to
make second attack. 1t is safe to as
sumo that during the last night OF so
in most households no uncertainty has
existed as to whether or not the doors
were securely fastened, while in scores
of places the ordinary lock and key
has been reinforced by a stout bolt.
which is considered the safest OF all
locks, as it leaves no opportunity for
thieves to operate with false key.
1t is altogether likely that the ex-
pert thieves have passed on and that
no farther robberies will be reported
in Danville for while. At the same
time precautions are always in order.

ColdesI forming of the Season.

Tuesday night and yesterday morn
ing were the coldest of the season. At
the Montour house, where the records
are generally very conservative, the
thermometers registered two degrees
below zero at 80 a. m. Elsewhere
about town the extreme degree of cold
was reported at four and even six de-
grees below zero.
The cold came on very suddenly. AT
nine o'clock Tuesday night mercury
was 20 dergees above zero; at mid
night it was eight above. 1t remained
very cold during yesterday, although
the sunshine and the absence of high
wind tempered the atmosphere very
much. Altogether it was not unpleas-
ant out of doors, provided brisk walk
afforded exercise.
Soon after midnight Jack Frost got
busy aud between that hour aud the
dawn yesterday morning he wrought
many marvels. Transforming the world.
usually so homely in its wintry aspect,
into veritable dreamland, where ev-
cry roof and wall, street and side
walk. board or stone by the wayside
was concealed beneath beautiful
coat of snow white down, while every
tree and shrub resembled forms of del
icate frostwork. Even on the spruce
and the pine trees not particle of
green was visible and yet the feathery
branches and the long slender needles
were clearly defined, all hidden under
the universal coat uf white.
AS the morning wore on and the
frostwork on the houses, and on the
trees and shubbery sparkled like diam
onds in the bright sunshine the scene
became one of transcendent beauty and
persons hurrying along through the
chill atmosphere we're glad to brook
the discomfort TO pause for moment
to take in the wonderful scene that
spread out around them.

The Typhoid at Scranton.


The neighborhood OF 100 new cases
of typhoid developed here today, max
| ing total of about 3S5. There had
been up to noon 239 cases reported
since the first of December, fifty-four
being reported up to noon for the pre-
ceding twenty four hours.
DR.. Arndt, the city bacteriologist,
gave out a statement this evening In
which he gave it as his positive opin-
ion that the typhoid was traceable to
the water from the reserve distribut-
ing dam at Elmhurst, which had been
used for distributing during the eight
weeks prior to last Saturday, when
the No. Z dam, the regular distribu.
tion dam, was being cleaned out.
There have only been four deaths as
yet from the epidemic, but one Of the
physicians employed in the battle
against the spread of the disease stat
ed today that there will likely be
many deaths before the disease is
stamped out. He would not be surpris.

Water from the Lake Scranton stor-
age reservoir is now exclusively used
and all public places, mills and the
like, are furnished only boiled water
under a penalty of 500. Soda water
fountains and bars are advertising
"boiled water only used here. -
Mayor Dimmick and the city health
authorities are cooperating with DR..
Moultou and Engineer Wetherill, Of
the State department of health, are
working night and day in a systematic
and thorugh manner to stamp out the
disease. W. W. Scranton, president Of
the Scranton Gas and Water company,
has notified the mayor to do anything
the doctors and engineers direct in the
way of eradicating the alleged con.
taminatiop of the water and charge
the expense to the company. Milkmen,
at the request of the health bureau.
are refusing to deliver milk in bottles
to any house. The householders must
provide container into which the
milk can be poured by the milkman.

Pennsy Changes Telegraph Wires

The Pennsylvania railroad company
has a force of men employed on the
south side making an improvement
that is very important to the COM
pany. This consists of removing the
telegraph poles and wires from the
north to the south side of the track.
Up to the present the telegraph poles
have been planted on the north side of
the tracks at South Danville, extend.
ing all the way to Sunbury on that
side. At short distance above the
tank the wires were carried across the
track and thence eastward the poles
were planted on the south side.
There are some objections to having
wires cross the railroad track princip-
al among which is the fact that the
action of the steam and sulphur thrown
off by the locomotives cause the wires
to rust.
The Pennsy, therefore, wherever
practicable carries the telegraph wires
through under the track in the form
of a cable. The railroad long ago
planned to remove the poles to the
south side of the track in South Dan
vile and Riverside, implying of course,
that the poles should be on the same
side of the railroad all the way to Sun
bury. To do this, however, the rail
road people at certain points were OBJ
liged to occupy land that came in un-
der the jurisdiction of Gearhart town
ship. The supervisors saw proper to
refuse the necessary permission.
At present, however, the township
and the railroad company seem to have
arrived at an agreement. The latter
is contributing literally of it's road
ballast to be used in highway con-
structon from the bridge to the sta
tion, while Gearhart township in turn
seems to have withdrawn It's objection
to the planting of telegraph poles on
south side of the track.
AS a result the work is well under
way, the poles being erected and the
wires strung on the south side of the
track. Iu order to reach the station it
is practicable to employ the modern
method of forming the wires into
cable and carrying them under ground.
This cable, which runs into the tele-
graph office, contains some twenty-five
wires. only ten nf which, however,
will be brought into play at present.

Evangelist W. ID. Lauma3ter after a
vigorous campaign covering period
of six weeks has returned to his home
in Danville for a rest during the
Christmas holidays.
Mr.. Laumaster is now we'll establish
ed as an evangelist and is receiving
calls from all sections. 1t is seldom
that he is not obliged to make choice
between two or more places, each of
which want him at the same time.
During the six weeks just elapsed

Berwick, Kensington, Dallastown,
York county and at Edge Hill, Chest

open air meetings. He has addressed
10, 1877 people. One hundred and seven
teen conversions were made.

First Methodist church at Long
Branch.

CLOSED BARS
ON CHRISTMAS

A short session of court was held
Tuesday afternoon,at at which his Hon
or Judge Evans, made an order similar
to what has gone into effect in Colum-
bia county. prohibiting the sale Of
liquor in any of the hotels, saloons or
restaurants of Montour county on
Christmas day. Although no petitions
looking TO the above end were present
ed to court it was generally expected,
after the action taken in Columbia
county, that such an order would be
made here.
Contrary to what might be supposed
liquor sellers are not as unit opposed
to the order. A well-known hotel keep
er Tuesday explained that n good
many of them rather like the idea Of
closing, as it gives them an opportun-
ity to enjoy Christmas with their
families without feeling that they are
closing their doors to legitimate trade,
which will be pretty sure to drift else
where. He, himself, was one of sever
al who last year signed a petition ask
ing the court to make an order closing
the bars on Christmas day. Their ac-
tion, he said, was so numerically
ridiculed by other liquor dealers, who
took different view Of the matter,
that they did not care to repeat the
experiment this year, although they
are well pleased with Judge Evans
order.
His Honor Judge Evans and Associ-
ates Frank G.. Blee and Charles A.
Wagner occupied the bench, After
reading the order Judge Evans ex-
planned that Judge Blee did not care
to have part in the order, which aG-
counts for the fact that it is signed
only by Judge Evans and Associate
Charles A. Wagner. The order is as
follows:
In the court of quarter sessions of
tho peace in and for the county of
Montour
Now December 1s, 1906, it is hereby
ordered and directed by the court that
the clerk of the said court of quarter
sessions of the peace shall have pre-
pared and printed notice to this ef-
feet:
"That every licensed place. hotel,
restaurant or saloon for the sale Of in.
toxicating liquors, either spirituous,
vinous or malt within this county
shall close the bar parts of their res
pective places of business on Monday
night. December "a, 1906, at twelve
o o'clock, midnight, and keep the same
closed until five O'Clock Wednesday
morning, December 26, 1906, to the end
that no sales of liquor shall be made
on Christmas day"
In the event of any violation Of this
order by any licensed place, hotel,
restaurant or saloon keeper and the
fact being brought to the attention of
the court au application for license of
the said place where such violation
occurs will be refused.
This notice to be delivered to the
several constables in the several wards,
boroughs, towns and townships through
out the county and the same to be
forthwith served by the said several
constables upon the hotel. restaurant
and saloon keepers and the wholesale
dealers within their respective dis
tricts without any cost to the county,
it being part of the duty of said offic-
ers to serve orders of this nature with.
out compensation. By the court,

FOOL FRIENDS.

in praying, "Oh, Lord, deliver us

Jacobson is that man. In common
with host of other Minnesota

splendid specimen of rugged
Rooseveltan republicanism. We
are of the opinion that more re-

DIED

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Parker are
sorely bereaved in the death of their
second little daughter, Joyce Fern
aged years, who died at three O'Clock
on Monday morning.
The little one had been afflicted with
quite a severe cold for few days,
which developed alarming symptoms
on Friday evening, when a physician
was called, who thought he detected
signs of pneumonia, but on Sunday
it was discovered to be diptheria OF a
virtulent type, the little one passing
away after about twelve hours OF ter
rible struggling and suffering.
The other children had been sent
away from the house to avoid con-
tagion, and the parents and friends
were only allowed to look on the face
of the loved darling through the
window, and could not even have the
consolation of following the dear body
to it's last resting place. The under
taker, with Rev. F. H. Oehler of the
Congregational church, performed the
last rites at the cemetery, where the
little one was laid to rest beside its
grandmother, Mrs. Stephen Barnard.
Many friends of the afflicted extend
deep sympathy.
"It is we'll with the child"
"'Tis WE'LL For her sweet presence
was loan,
Like sunbeam on our pathway kind
ly given;
The blessed Giver hath but claimed
his own;
Our blessed child has gone again
to heaven"
