The sheriff's sale of the Danville &
Sunbury Street Railway, which was
to have taken place on Friday, has
been stayed. A petition, Tuesday, was
presented to Judge Staples at Strouds-

Completes PaStorate.

Rev +. b. Dunn has completed a
most successful four years pastorate at
the United Evangelical church, and
will on Sunday evening preach his
farewell sermon and read his report to
the congregation.
Next week Rev. Dunn Will attend
the Central Pennsylvania Conference
of the United Evangelical church at
Milton, and the appointments will then
be annouced giving Mr. Dunn his new
charge and instituting a new minister
in Danville.
Mr.. Dunn's pastorate in Danville
has been attended by the most pleas
ant and fortunate circumstances. He
has labored increasingly among his
people and has endeared himself to the
members of his congregation, who, in
dividually and as a body, regret that
the arrival of the time limit makes it
necessary for Mr.. Dunn to leave Dan
vile.
1t was largely through the efforts of
the pastor that the congregation was
able to witness last fall the burning of
the mortgage that represented the last
of the church's Indebtedness. At pres
ent the church does not owe a penny
and there are funds in the treasury of
each department. Still greater credit
for this fine showing will be given to
the church when it is known that this
excellent financial standing has been
attained without soliciting and from
the public in any way.
Rev. f. B. Dunn was secretary of
the Danville Ministerial Association
for nearly three years, resigning only
recently The following resolutions
testify to the high regard in which
Mr.. Dunn was held by that body:
Whereas The Rev. f. B. Dunn, pas
tor of the United Evangelical church,
by reason of the expiration of the time
limit, will sever his relation with his
congregation and with the Minister
ium in March, therefore be it
Resolved, That we regret his remov-
al from among us and that we assure
him of our confidence, and be it
Resolved, That we appreciate the
good work he has done in Danville
and trust that he may be appointed to
pleasant field of labor where he may
transfer his good work.

DIETRICH TRIAL
NEXT WEEK

Peter Dietrich Will be tried at the
February term of court, next week, for
the killing of James A. Jones. Along
with this fact it is announced that
Judge c. B. Staples of Monroe coun-
ty, will preside during the whole term
of February court.
Owing to the fact that February
term was one Of quarter sessions with
only thirty-siX jurors drawn it did not
seem possible that Dietrich could be
tried before May Judge Staples, how
ever, who consented to preside i'll this
county during the present month, learn
ing what was pending at once took
steps to bring the case to trial.
He arrived in this city Friday night
and on Saturday morning called
meeting of the bar. The meeting was
held in the Parliamentary office, prac-
tically all the attorneys being pres
ent
His Honor explained that he had
heard of the tragedy which had occur
red here and that he had decided that
the case must be tried at the February
term of court. He was aware that this
was a court Of quarter sessions, but it
was not too late to bring out an oyer
and terminer jury, hence his visit.
At this juncture William Kase West,
counsel for Dietrich, took occasion to
indicate to the court that he was un-
favorable to trying the case before May
and said that if brought up in Feb
ruary court he would make a motion
to postpone the trial. Judge Staples
in plain terms gave him to understand
that such a motion would not avail and
that his mind was unalterably made
up to the effect that the trial would
proceed. He explained that he could
see no reason why there should be
postponement If Dietrich is innoc-
ent, he said, he should not be obliged
to lie in Jail if he is guilty punish
ment can not come too soon.
The court then proceeded to issue an
order for a special venire of twenty
four jurors, which with the thirty six
already drawn, raised the whole num-
Der to sixty, which will no doubt prove
ample.
Judge Staples directed Sheriff George
Maiers to prevent indiscriminate Wis
iting at the jail. No one, he said,
should be permitted to call upon Diet
rich except his attorney, his spiritual
advisor or members of his own i'm
family.
The future of the hotel on Upper
Mulberry street, where the shooting
occurred is involved in much doubt. 1t
has been closed since the tragedy AL
luding to the license at the meeting
Of the bar on Saturday Judge Staples
said that he heard that the court would
be asked to transfer the license TO an
other party; he reminded all present
that an application to that effect now
would be wholly futile-that the lie
anse would not be transferred or any
other action taken i'll regard to it un
Ill after the trial is over.
Associate Judge Wagner was pres
INT at the meeting.

DEATH IN A
TERRIBLE FORM

Enoch Snyder, resident of Liberty
township and a well known lumber
man, met his death Tuesday as the re-
suit of a shocking accident sustained
while working on saw mill at the
base of Montour Ridge near Jacob
Diehls in Liberty township.
The saw mill is owned by Charles
Diehl. The deceased, who lived on a
small farm near by, was engaged i'll
otfbearing for Mr. Diehl on Tuesday.
To reach slab he stepped into the saw
frame and was in the act of returning
when the mandrel or the revolving
arbor of the circular saw caught the
top of the felt boot chat he wore and
in an instant he was whirled around
the shaft, which was going at the rate
of 800 revolutions per minute. He was
carried around only once and then was
flung to one side. racked and laCerat-
ed, an insensible mass of humanity.
An idea Of the torture and extreme in
jury to which the man was exposed
while in the machinery can be formed
when it is stated that practically every
bit of clothing was torn off his body,
all that remained being a waist band
and moccasin on one foot.
Mr. Snyder was removed TO his home,
but the terrible nature of his injuries
preCluded hope of his recovery. The
accident occurred about one o'clock
and the man expired about p. N.
the same day, surrounded by the mem
bers of his family. He opened his
eyes for brief moment before expir-
ing, but that was the only sign that
he was conscious for single moment
between the time of the accident and
death.
The deceased was of about middle |
life and is survived by a wife and ten |
the eldest of whom is % |
years of age. He was an industrious,
hard working man and was we'll known |
about Danville. For some time he was
in the woods on John Bod
ems farm.

ELECTRICIAN
ZONES REELECTED

Borough Electrician Samuel II. Jones
II. was reelected for the ensuing year
at meeting of council Friday night.
George Reifsnyder called attention TO
the fact that the year for which Mr..
Jones had contracted will expire be
fore the next meeting. He followed
with some remarks highly compli-
mentary to the electrician, explaining
that the municipal light plant during
the last few months has attained a
high degree of proficiency.
Mr. Jones being called before coun-
Gil explained that he was well pleased
with his position. He made a mild re-
quest for an advance of salary, intim-
ating, however, that if council could
not see its way clear to comply, he
would consent to continue another
year under the same terms.
On motion of Mr. Goeser seconded
by Mr. Hughes, Mr. Jones was re-
elected as borough electrician for the
ensuing year at the same salary, S65
per month.
On motion of Mr.. Dietz it was or
dered that three sections of worn ont
hose be removed from the Continental
hose house to the water works
Mr.. Reifsnyder called attention to
the fact that the old aqueduct at the
canal is being removed The founda-
tions walls of the abutment on the
eastern side, he explained, protect the
borough sewer. If the stone are all re-
moved, he said, the sewer Will be eX-
posed and in times of high water much
damage may be wrought. He moved
that the committee on streets and
bridges call on Mr.. +. .. Hartman,
who has purchased and is removing
the stones, and that he be apprised of
the possible damage that may result to
the sewer if the foundation stone be
removed. Mr. Reifsnyder believed that
Mr.. Hartman, as a public spirited
citizen, who has the good of the bor-
ough at heart, will do what is right
in the premises. The motion carried
Mr. Reifsnyder further called attcn-
tion to the fact that the removal of
the aqueduct has cut off one means the
of the big mill had of cross
ing Mahoning creek This taken in
with the fact that the foot
bridge formerly installed at West Mah- !
oning street is very much out of order |
and hardly passable, he said, leaves !
the employees in very bad way. He |
therefore moved that the street com
missioner be instructed to build (
foot bridge at West Mahon- /
ing street to do service until a better .
and permanent bridge can be install ,
led. The motion was seconded by Mr. !
Hughes and it carried unanimously.
Chairman Gibson being absent, Mr. F.
Vastine was chosen president pro TEN. /
Others members present were: Goeser, /
Fenstermacher, DietZ, Boyer Reif- /

The following bills were approved |
