life. Although there are no immediate
prospects of apprehending Magill, the

w. r. FILLER General rlanager.

At meeting of the Directors of the
Danville and Bloomsbury Street Rail
way Company held in this city Mon
day, William R. Miller was elected
general manager. ..
Mr.. Miller as Superintendent took
charge of the Danville and Bloomsbury
line early in July last. AS Superin-
tendent his services were most effici-
ent. The cars have been running like
clock work, there has been no friction
of any sort in the management and the
road has yielded good profit.
That such a showing is most crafty
ing to the stock holders and board of
directors goes without saying and Mr..
Miller's reward came in the form of a
substantial promotion, which elevated
him from Superintendent to General
Manager.
Mr.. Miller is gentleman of fine So
cial qualities, and by his natural
courtesy and generous traits of char
acter has endeared himself to our citi-
zens who will unite with the News in
congratulating him on his advance

HOW HIS FEET
BECAME FROZlN

Herman Prentiss, accompanied by
his brother Ambrose and sister, Mrs.
Hirsh, of Wilkes Barre, Friday night
arrived at this city from Greensburg
in the western part of the State where
he was confined at the Hospital with
both feet frozen.
He is now receiving medical care at
the home of his father, N. G. Prem
tiss, Railroad street. His feet are still
in very bad condition, although it
does not seem likely that amputation
will have to be resorted to unless it be
to remove portion of the toes At
the Westmoreland Hospital where Her
man was confined it was thought that
several of the toes would have to be
amputated. However, it is by no means
improbable that due to skillful treat
ment his toes may be saved.
The story that Herman tells is as
follows: Misunderstanding the con-
ductor he left the train at wrong
station and started to walk to the next
station. 1t was on Sunday and he ell
countered rain and snow. There were
no houses and he walked many miles
hoping to find shelter. When night
overlook him he was drenched through
and through. Discerning straw stack
in the darkness he made his way to-
ward it, crawled under the straw and
sought shelter for the night. He had
no doubt but that farm house was
near but it was late and he heard dogs
barking ominously, so that he decided
to entrust himself to the hospitality of
the straw stack. The weather had
changed, however, and it became very
cold. His feet were wet and he re-
moved his shoes, but he was unable to
keep his feet warm and during the
J night they were frozen.
The whole affair was purely accid-
entail, as Herman was we'll supplied
with money. But for the misunder-
standing which led him out in the
storm he would have been able to pur-
chase safe and comfortable lodging.

LAWFUL TO FISH
THROUGH ICE

Now that the streams in this section
are being frozen up, the question of
fishing through the ice is once more
attracting attention. This is q matter
that great many do not rightly un-
derstand. Suckers and mullets are
quite plentiful in the Fishing creek
and many people up that valley have
been wondering the last few day if it
would be lawful to catch these fish
through the ice with hook and line.
H. G. Eshelman, the fish and game
warden for this section, stated yester-
day that suckers and mullets are not
embraced by the game laws, and that
it is perfectly lawful to catch them
through the ice. While fishing for
these, however, should game fish be
taken on the line, it must be returned
at once, or the fisherman is liable to a
fine.
Last winter u case was tried in which
prosecution was attempted for taking
suckers or mullets from the water with
q hook, but the man was Immediately
discharged and the matter dropped, as
there was no law against such a mode
Of capturing these fish.
The fact that there is ice on the
water in no way changes the law re-
lating to the capture of fish.

Destructive Fire at EIysburg.

A part of the village of Elysburg
was threatened with destruction by
fire Monday morning. The quick and
effective work of force of men who
formed themselves into bucket bri.
gade saved many houses from being
destroyed.
Smoke was seen coming from the
second story of A. J. Persing's wheel
wright shop at 10 10. An alarm of fire
was quickly sounded and almost the
entire population of the village re-
sponded. An investigation showed the
flames to be burning fiercely. 1t was
evident that the building could not be
saved.
Every effort was then directed to-
wards preventing the flames from
spreading. At first the fire fighters
were hampered by having the only fire
wagon in the village break down when
they attempted to draw it to the tire.
a bucket brigade was formed and
valuable assistance rendered in this
manner. The post office building which
adjoined the wheelwright shop caught
fire but the brave volunteer fire fight
ers succeeded in saving all the govern
ment mail as we'll as the large stock
of stationery which was handled in
connection with the post office.
The flames threatened to spread to
Edward Cooks butcher shop and D.
H. DeShay's implement store and
foundry and were only prevented from
doing so by determined work ON the
part of the villagers.
The buildings containing the smithy
and post Office were completely de.
stroyed with a loss of about $500, be-
ing partly covered with $3.50 insurance.

Continued from page ~

William Keefer was the first witness

Mrs. Keefer, Nelson Houseknecht,
Phoebe Moser and some others, whose
testimony sustained the allegations of
the defense.
The jury retired about 4 O'Clock, re-
turning at O'Clock with verdict of
mot guilty"
Thomas Sheppard pleaded guilty to
the charge Of assault and battery, his
wife being the complainant. The
Court decided to suspend sentence, but
made an order requiring Sheppard to
pay five dollars per week to his wife !;
it was also ordered that if he practices
any abuse or cruelty toward his wife
he be at once taken into custody again.
Saloon and hotel keepers were forbid
den to sell Sheppard any drink under
penalty of losing their license. Shep-
pard was ordered to report at Court at
the next term.
Court adjourned to meet Saturday
morning. a
The Grand Jury Tuesday afternoon
presented its report, which reads as
follows
To the Honorable Judges of the Court
Of Quarter Sessions Of Montour
County.
The Grand Jury having performed
itslduty makes the following report:
We have examined the public build
ings and find them generally in good
condition with the exception of the
Court house roof, leak being appar-
ent in the ceiling, which unless re-
paired soon will prove injurious to the
plastering and mar the appearance of
the room. We recommend that the leak
be repaired.
The jail and all the appurtenances
thereof seem to be in excellent con-
dition.
We recommend as has been done by
previous Grand Juries that the indices
in the Register and Recorders office
be replaced by new ones, as those now
in use have been there for many years
and are in very dilapidated condi-
tion and for the better protection of
the public interest should be replaced
by more modern and improved kind.
All of which is respectfully submit

SUPPLEMENTAL
PROCLAMATION

Governor Pennypacker yesterday af-
ternoon, issued supplementary proc
lamation suggesting more legislation
for the coming session, to be embodied
| in four bills. These will cover civil
service reform in State offices; uni
form primary election measure a bill
relating to the expenditure Of moneys
by candidates for nomination and elec-
tion to office, and bill relating to
the consolidation of contiguous cities,
this latter having already been cover
cd in the Governors first proclama-
tion, but again inserted to cover any
defect that may exist in the original
suggestion, new laws being passed un-
der both suggestions for the consolida-
tion of Pittsburg and Allegheny. -
The proclamation is as follows:
Whereas, an extraordinary session
of the general assembly of the COM
monwealth of Pennsylvania has been
called under authority of article 4,sec-
tion IL, of the constitution, to meet in
the capitol at Harrisburg on Monday,
January 15, 1905, at Q O'Clock p. m, of
that day.
Now, therefore, 1, Samuel W.
Pennypaoker, governor of the COM
monwealth Of Pennsylvania do hereby
designate the following additional SUBJ
jects for the consideration of the gen.
eral assembly, with a view to legisla-
tion at the said session with respect to
them.
First: To revise the laws in rela
tion to primary elections in such way
to provide for the holding of the pri-
mary elections of all political parties
within the commonwealth on the same
day, at the same time, under the sup
ervision of properly constituted offic
ers, and to make such changes in or
in addition to these laws as may seem
advisable.
Second: To establish civil SER
vice system, by means of which the
routine offices and employments Of the
commonwealth may be filled by ap-
| pOlutiuch9S ulisuc ditcI tiio dSCcl tSsih-
ment of qualifications and fitness, and
the incumbents Of such Office may re-
tain them during good behavior.
"Third To designate the uses to
which money may be applied by can
didates, political managers ana COM
mittees in political campaigns or for
nominations and elections, to require
the managing committees and man
ayers Of all political parties to file
with some designated official at the
close of each campaign detailed state
ment in writing, accompanied by affi-
davit, Of the amounts collected and
the purposes for which they were ex-
pended.
Fourth: To enable cities which
are now or may hereafter be contigu-
Gus or in close proximity, including
any intervening land, to be united in
one municipality, in order that the
people may avoid the unnecessary
burdens of maintaining separate muni-
cipal governments. "
This fourth subject is a modification
of the first subject in the original call
and is added in order that legislation
may be enacted under either of them
as may be deemed wise.
