OCEAN PARK, Aug. 29.--After ha.v-

from the grasp of strong undertow
that had carried them unawares SO
far from shore that they could not
attract attention by shouting, Miss
June Whittimore, Miss Lee Whitti-
more, q. Twitchell, George Whitti-
more and Mark Quay, members of
prominent Denver and Salt Lake fam
lilies who are staying ut Nos. 16 and
1S Sunset avenue, were rescued from
drowning this morning through an
alarm being sounded by an unknown
young negro. He noticed the gesticu-
lations of the party and ran wildly
up and down the board walk calling
for help.
Instantly persons came pouring out
of the cottages, and within few
minutes crowd of several hundred
people had gathered on the beach
while at least six men breasted the
waves to render lid to the helpless
bathers.
j. r., Whittimore, q brother of the
young women, was the first to give
assistance and he was quickly Joined
by Howard Yards, Edmond Buckley,
Arden Day and others.
Whittimore practically without any
aid brought the almost unconscious
forms of his sisters to the beach and
the rescue of the others was effected
after much difficulty as none Of them
were able to assist themselves.
George Whittimore and Twitchell
were unconscious when carried up on
the sand and it was only after forty
minutes work on the part of Drs.
Fuller and DUNN that they showed
any signs Of returning animation.
All of the party had sufficiently re-
covered by evening to cause the at
tending physicians to state that no
serious after effects were anticipated.

Straw Failed to Take Fire.

=. II. Maus, superintendent of the
Castle Grove estate, who was in this
city yesterday, added another chapter
to the list of curious pranks played by
the lightning during the storm, Mon
day. 1t would appear that there was
scarcely farm in the track of the
storm that escaped the lightning and
as consequence scarcely n person
comes to town but has stories to relate
of trees being splintered or fences
struck even if buildings escaped
Mr.. Maus' recital is of interest,
showing that whether we call it n
"cold stroke" or give it any other
name, the fact is indisputable that
lightning may strike buildings and
come in contact with highly combust-
ible matter without causing fire.
During the shower Monday, he says,
the straw shed connected with the
barn on the Castle Grove farm fomer-
ly known rs the Sechler farm was
struck by lightning and escaped taking
fire. A large hole was knocked IN the
roof by the bolt of lightning, which
spent its force on the interior, shatter-
ing the timbers around which the dry
straw was piled-a substance that Or
dinarily would have required but n
spark of fire to set it off in n flash.
That another fine barn was not de-
stroyed by the electrical shower is OBJ
viously little short of miracle.

Committed to House of Refu ge.

His Honor Judge @. G. Evans came
down from Berwick yesterday and
changed the order relating to the
committing of Daniel Candy to a re-
formatory institution.
The boy Daniel Candy, whose unfor-
tunate record the public is familiar
with, on last Tuesday was sentenced
to the Boys Protectory at Pawling
and was to be conducted there within
five days. Later however, hitch oc-
CURED and the sheriff was notified by
Judge Evans to keep the boy in his
possession until further notice.
Meanwhile Sheriff Maiers had his
hands pretty full. There is another
boy, Clarence Carr in Jail awaiting
trial. When the Candy boy joined the
Sheriif's household life became very
strenuous, indeed, and it was discov-
ered that two boys could make them
selve the source Of more anxiety than
a whole Jail full of adult prisoners
and accomplish it without half trying.
The Protectory at Pawling, it has
been discovered, is overcrowded and
Judge Evans yesterday made an order
committing Daniel Candy to the House
of Refuge at Glen Mills, Philadelphia
Sheriff Maiers said last evening that
he would in all probability conduct
the boy to the latter named institu-
tion tomorrow.

Drowned at Sharon.

A telegram was received yesterday
afternoon conveying the sad intelli-
gence that Raymond Stillwell, son of
Edward Stillwell, until recently u
resident of this city, met his death by
drowning at Sharon, where the family
resides, and that the body had not
been recovered.
Edward Stillwell is very widely
known in Danville. A few years ago
along with his family he removed to
Sharon, where at present he holds the
responsible position of boss roller in
one of the large steel mills About the
Fourth of July along with his family
he paid Danville a visit.
The telegram was necessarily brief
and gave none of the circumstances of
the sad affair 1t merely stated that
the drowning had occurred, that the
body had not been recovered and beg
ged that some of the relatives would
come to Sharon.
The telegram was received by Lewis
Kessler, a brother of Mrs. Stillwell,
and was from his own son, who is also
at Sharon, and holds position i'll the
office of the steel works. In response
to the message Mrs Lewis Kessler left
for Sharon last evening.
The drowned boy is about fourteen
years of age and was very bright
and loyable little fellow.

Commissioners to Take Appeal.

The Court Monday granted the Pc
tition of Columbia County by the
Columbia County Commissioners
Ringrose, Pohe and Hess for rule to
show cause why an appeal should not
be permitted from the audit, settle
ment and adjustment of his accounts,
as Register of Wills and Recorder of
Deeds for the years of 1902. 1903, 1904
and 1905, thus dissipating any hope on
the part of Rutter that compromise
would be effected on his statement of
the amount to which he had falsely
certified.
The Commissioners set forth in their
petition that Rutter wrongfully omit
ted to keep and furnish any account
of the fees received for recording 1856
mortgages, 1904 deeds, 7S5 miscella-
neous and 365 oaths during the last four
years of his term of office, the only
years during which the county can
recover.
They further charge that the charges
made by Rutter as officer, for clerk
hire and office expenses, in the set
Element of his accounts for the year
1905. are exorbitant and unreasonable.

A Thrilling Experience.

During the severe storm of Monday
afternoon, Rev. F w. Leidy, of Nor
thnmberland, in company with his
two sons, George and Harold, and a
nephew who is visiting the Leidy
home, had most thrilling experience.
Shortly after dinner the party started
on fishing excursion up the West
Branch river and before they realized
it, the storm was upon them. They
were on the Blue Hill side and hasten
ed to reach sanddigger, which was
anchored near by. When they were
thin ten feet of the digger the wind
suddenly changed and blew the boat
in far different direction. The rev.
erend gentleman realizing that prompt
action was necessary pulled hard for
the shore, but the boat soon began to
fill with water. Several hats and a
coat were lost but we're later recover
ed. During the ordeal the glasses
which Rev. Leidy was wearing blew
from his face and in making an effort
to recover them were broken.
When about half way to the shore
one of the oar blocks broke and it
was with great difficulty that the
craft was prevented from swamping
and safe journey made to shore.
The children in order to keep aboard
were compelled to lay fiat in the fast
filling boat while the father display
ed some of his massive strength. and
unable to see the shore amid the
binding rain storm and with the
hail stones pelting his barred head.
succeeded in landing his precious bur-
den safely on shore.

-EARNER'S
BAD ACCIDENT

John Henry, a well-knowu rolling
mill man of this city, while on his
way to Milton yesterday morning to
seek employment met with an acci-
dent in which he sustained a broken
leg and now lies at the Mary M. Pack
er hospital, Sunbury.
Early yesterday morning Hen ry
along with some other workmen left
Danville for Milton with the under
standing that they were to have en-
ployment at the car works at that
place. In order to make good time
they jumped a train that came along.
just before reaching the tower. where
the locomotive cut loose for a mom-
ent, the men jumped off, as this was
point nearest to the car works. The
men had expected the train to come to
a stop, which it failed to do, so that in
jumping off at the last moment, they
had no opportunity to select the
ground. Several of them got ugly
falls and sustained minor injuries.
John Henry, who is heavy man, wa $
thrown violently and sustained bad
fracture of his left leg below the knee.
AS the best way out it was decided
to remove him to the Mary Packer
hospital. Accompanied by one of his
fellow workman he was removed to
Sunbury during the forenoon. Henry
is married man and resides on Ferry
street, this city. 1t will be many
weeks before he will be able to work.

A Street Is Badly Damaged.

A street, which was fixed up at such
great expense by the Danville and
Bloomsbury trolley Company last
week was very badly damaged by the
heavy down pour of rain, which has
occurred on two occasions since the
completion of the work.
On Friday night the rains which
caused such an overflow further down
Bloom street, did considerable dam
age to the surface course ON A street,
washing the fine cinder from the top
nearly to the foot of the hill. A force
of men was put to work Saturday
morning and by night the damage was
pretty we'll repaired. The heavier
downpour yesterday caused still great
er washing and rendered the labor Sat
urday in vain.
The low position of the track on
Bloom street, above A street, is re-
sponsible in great part for the dam
age. The track lying as it does lower
than the street on each side forms a
Cuuhl. WnlCH COutluCtS Ulo WdUtT uOWu
Bloom street and throws it in upon
A street.
Fortunately the trolley company in
tends to raise the track and as soon as
this is done conditions will be far
better and A street will receive no
water but what falls directly upon it,
The trolley company would have rails
ed the track before this but it is wait
ing for the borough which has prom
ised to furnish the material for filling
up, if the trolley company will raise
the track at its own expense.
Immediately after the shower yes
terday afternoon several men we're
put to work repairing the damage, on
A street for the second time. They
filed up and leveled over the wash
outs as best could be done. The street
is in good order for traffic again, but
its appearance is somewhat spoiled.

HON. v. I. GREASY
WILL BE KEPT BUSY;

1t is a busy month that William T.
Greasy of Columbia county. candidate
on the fusion ticket for Auditor Gen.
eral, will have during August. He is
besieged with requests to have him
speak, the request coming largely from
Oranges of the State. Among the en-
gagements that he is called upon to all
this month are at Grange meetings in
Clinton County, Sullivan County. Per-
ry County, Clarion County, Luzerne
County. Fayette County, Wyoming
County, Lycoming county, Northum-
berland County, Bonnie Brae Grange
of Chester County, Tioga County,
Clearfield County, and Warren County.
He will also attend the Chester Coun-
ty fusion convention. picnic of the
Kishacoquilas Valley Railroad in
Mifflin County Grange day at the
Brookville County fair. He will also
speak this month before the Grangers
of Hunterdon County, New Jersey.
Mr.. Creasy's subject will be "The
Past. Present and Future Of the
Grange" which admits of broad
scope in the discussion of the subject.
When asked as to whether or not he
had determined to remain ON the Col
umbia county ticket as candidate
for the Legislature Mr.. Greasy smil-
ingly waived the question. The inn
preston is becoming the stronger that
Mr.. Greasy will not withdraw from
the ticket in Columbia county.
