GIRL ACCIDENTALLY
shot AND MAY DIE

Jennie, the seventeen years old daugh-
ter of J. J. Smith, residing two miles
west of White Deer, near Milton. was
accidentally, and probably fatally
wounded yesterday morning at 10 80
O'Clock by John McCollum, the son of
q neighbor. DR.. Hummel, of Watson
town, who was summoned, found the
young woman in a critical condition.
A bullet from a 22-calibre target rifle
had penetrated her head above the left
eye, pierced the brain and lodged back
of the right. ear.
Miss Smith, who is one of twin Sis
ters, was calling at the McCollum home
which is about quarter of mile
from her own. Young McCollum was
outside the door cleaning target rife.
He fred one shot, inserted another
cartridge, then, forgetting to lower the
hammer, turned and entered the house.
Miss Smith was but few feet away
from him, when the rifle was accident
ally discharged and the Young woman
fell to the floor with scream. A
courier was dispatched for a physician
and telephone message across the
river to Watsontown soon had DR..
Hummel on his way.
McCollum, when he saw what he
had done, hurried to the home of the
justice of the peace and gave himself
up. But this was determined to be
as the circumstances show
beyond question that the shooting was

Pastor Invited to Retnrn.

At the Fourth Quarterly Conference
day night, Rev. S. b. Evans, who has
been pastor there for the last two
years, was invited to return. A COM
mittee was also appointed to attend
the annual session of the Central Penn
sylvania conference, which will con-
vene at Altoona on March 2Sth, for the
purpose of looking after the interest
of st. Pauls NJ. f. church in the mat
ter of appointments.
There was large representation of
the congregation present at the quart
erly conference. The utmost harmony
prevailed and the action taken relat-
ing to Rev. s. B. Evans return was
unanimous.
Those present expressed themselves
as highly gratified with Rev. Mr..
Evans pastorate. In the matter of
making converts he has been especial
ly successful and has added large num-
Der of new members to the church, the
number of accessions surprising those
of several preceding pastorates. Rev.
s. b. Evans was commended for his
zeal and hard work, his pastorate on
the whole being declared very effec-
| tive.
What changes the appointments may
show is uncertain. 1t happens to be a
year when more or less changes will
occur among the important charges of
the conference and these it is only ma
tural will lead to other changes and
there may be general moving about.
In face of such conditions it is hard
to tell what effect such an invitation
as extended by st. Paul's may have
upon the Bishop making the appoint
ments and whether Rev. S. B. Evans
or any other pastor in Danville viii
be returned or assigned to some othel
charge.

Girl Commits Suicide.

Miss Carrie Foust, daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Calvin Foust, of Milton,
committed suicide Tuesday afternoon
at the home of Mrs. Peter Hagenbuch,
one mile west of West Milton, with
whom she had resided, as companion,
for a number of years.
Miss Foust, was very well known in
Danville having frequently visited rel
atives in this city. The grand father
of the deceased and the late Philip
Foust, of this city, were brothers.
She was also niece of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Weidman, East Market street.
Miss Foust had shown traits of mel
ancholia, though not of a pronounced
type 1t was known to her friends that
for some time she was engaged to be
married, the wedding being fixed for
early spring.
Monday afternoon Miss Foust, when
she paid her insurance fee to the col
lector, declared that that would be the
last time she would pay insurance.
Later she made other remarks that, in
the light Of subsequent events, were
significant, tending to show that she
had in contemplation the taking of her
life.
At 4 O'Clock Tuesday afternoon Mrs.
Hagenbuch went to the barn to gather
the eggs. She was gone about twenty
minutes. When she returned Miss
Foust was nowhere about, and when
Mrs. Hagenbuch called she received no
reply. Then going to the second floor
of the house she found the young wo-
man in her own room unconscious on
the bed. An empty tumbler lay on the
floor, and about it was the unmistak-
able odor Of carbolic acid. A doctor
was sent for, and though the physician
reached the Hagenbuch home in lit.
tie while Miss Foust was beyond hu
man aid. She died at o'clock. A
vial that had contained the carbolit
acid was found on the ground under q
window of the young woman's bed
room. She had evidently poured the
poison from the bottle into the glass
then tossed the former out of the win
dow. She left no message.
1t was determined that no inques
was necessary under the circumstances
the latter proving without question
the case to be one of self-destruction.
The funeral will be held from tn
home of the parents, in Milton, Frida.

Freight Wreck on the Pennsy

A wreck which blocked all traffic on
this division of the Pennsylvania rail
road all night occurred Tuesday after
noon at O'Clock opposite Rupert.
At this point the Pennsylvania and
the p. & r. tracks cross each other
A fast west bound Pennsy freight train
approached the crossing, but as work
train on the P. & r. was also ap-
preaching the bridge and had the
rights of the crossing at the time, the
signalman in the tower set his signal
for the Pennsylvania train to stop, and
also threw open the switch which is
located about 200 feet from the cross
ing for use in just such emergencies.
The Pennsy train was ii heavy one,
however, and had gained such mo-
mentum that the engineer could not
bring it to a stop in time to save il
from running through the open switch.
The locomotive tender, and the first
following car went clear through the
switch off the track, and toppled over
on their side. The engineer and fire
man realized their danger in time tc
jump from the cab to safety Just as
the engine went over
Wrecking crews were summoned
from Nescopeck and Sunbury and af
ter hard nights work. the division
was opened again to traffic yesterday
morning about O'Clock No one wa
injured by the accident, but confusion
reigned ON the entire division as
consequence Of the blocking of traffic
especially at this busy season

Truant Officer Has Trouble.

| The brow of Truant Officer Young
yesterday bore a troubled look He
had two children, he said, who had
no shoes and he was puzzled to know
how to supply them with the needed
| foot wear These were not the officers
own children, it is true; nevertheless
he was in a measure responsible for
them. They were on the list of alb
sentees and it was his business to get
them back into school. But he was
up against the time worn excuse:
"No shoes.
The officer has heard this excuse so
often that it begins to haunt him in
his dreams. Every month when he
presents his report to the school board
there are always few pupils absent
from school because they are i'll along
with less number who are actually
truants, but the report always winds
up with a number who are detained at
home "for want of suitable clothing"
and that means "shoes.
lltsc VI CoulsS alC tllC Va
poor and necessitous families. The
latter can't purchase the suitable
clothing and that is all there is
about it. Meanwhile the school law
relating to attendance says that all
children within the proper age limit
must attend school and it doesn't say
anything about "clothing" suitable
or unsuitable.
The truant officer is the man left to
wrestle with the difficult proposition
to get the children back to school
which means to get them clothing. 1t
is fortunate for our district that we
have truant officer as faithful to. his
trust as Mr.. Young, otherwise more
children might be out of school.
He has wrestled with the problem
of clothing month in and month out.
Occasionally the poor authorities come
to his relief, but just as often they
conclude that it i not right for them
to purchase clothing in such cases and
they refuse assistance. At other times,
when means are available the Benevo-
lent Society comes to his relief. The
present unfortunately is one of those
times when a deaf ear is turned to the
truant officer ON all sides and as above
stated he has two children to provide
with shoes. Incidentally two child
rem are out of school, who according
to the school law have no right to be
absent. Hence the brow of the truant
officer bears troubled look.
Obviously here is fine opportunity
for persons philanthropically inclined
to accomplish far reaching good with
the expenditure of only little money

.RailrOaders Nav Strike.

The main topic of discussion among
the railroad men in this vicinity at
the present time is the trouble of the
conductors and trainmen with the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad Company, which may end in
strike being declared.
After four weeks of conference the
joint grievance committee of the Della
ware, Lackawanna s. Western con-
ductors and tralnmen on Tuesday con-
cluded that they cannot reach an amic-
able ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Superin-
tendent T. E. Clarke, and they will
ask for his best ultimatum, prelimin-
ary to reporting to the local lodges
that they cannot secure an adjustment
and asking for a vote as to whether or
not to order strike. This was given
out Tuesday night by the committee
after session at their headquarters in
the St. Charles Hotel at Scranton. The
announcement was received with great
surprise in Lackawanna and other rail
road circles.
The grievances are mostly about
wages. The men are demanding re-
vision of the constructive mileage"
schedule, more pay for through freight,
because of alleged additional labor en-
tailed by reason of the laying off of
the third brakeman in each crew, and
increased pay for the roustabout and
other 12-hour crews. The action of the
joint committee has been approved by
the grand officers of both organiza.

A Wonderful MeerSchaum.

Charles Haag, clerk Of the Montour
House, is exhibiting to his friends with
pardonable pride present in the form
of meerschaum pipe, evidently the
finest ever seen III Danville. The gift
is from Jacob Aleborn, of Nanticoke, a
nearly lifelong friend of Mr.. Haag.
The pipe is of the purest meerschaum,
the stem or mouthpiece being of am
ber. The bowl is one mass of most
faultless carving in which are repre-
sented in high relief hunter and hound
pursuing game. The whole thing is Of
exquisite beauty and although more
than twice the size of an ordinary
pipe, owing to the purity Of the meer-
schaum it is almost without weight.
The fine, white 'claylike substance
forming the pipe after taking on the
delicate tints that comes with use. will
be rarity and a marvel of beauty.
The handsome meerschaum came direct
ly from Germany and a gentleman at
the Montour House yesterday who is
an authority on pipes stated that at
the lowest estimate Mr. Haag's gift
cost s75s probably 500.

Fire Damaged Boiler Works.

The extensive plant of the E. Keeler
Company, one of the finest equipped
boiler and smoke stack works in the
country, and one of Williamport's most
important industries, was damaged
thousands of dollars by a fire that
broke out in what is known as the new
part of the nest of buildings, at about
l 40 O'Clock yesterday morning, and
which for time threatened the entire
plant with destruction. so fierce were
the flames. The fire department was
quickly on the scene, however, and
soon had the plant surrounded with
hose and streams playing ON the flames
and the fire was under control by 80
O'Clock, although the firemen remained
ON duty for several hours afterward.
1t is not known how the fire started.

Appointment to be Made Soon.

The last delegation that will call
upon Governor Pennypacker in the in
terests of the pending judgeship ap-
pointment visited Harrisburg yester-
day in furtherance of the application
of H. A. M'Killip. Esq, of Blooms
burg.
1t is now expected that the appoint
ment will be made in a day or so. This
statement is given more credence when
it is known that the governor has been
informed by representatives of all
political parties of the urgency of Civ
ing his early attention to the appoint
ment. He has been acquainted with
the fact that in Columbia county court
can not be held at all on account OF
the illness of Associate Judge Fox.
In conversation Tuesday Governor
Pennypacker stated that Wednesday {
delegation would be the last received.
and also after that the appointment
would receive his prompt attention.

LEGISLATURE Will
NOT Be- RECALLED

The Governor will not reconvene the
extra session of the Legislature to pass
legislation enabling trolley railway 8
to carry freight and fixing the rate of
passenger travel at two cents a mile.
Resolutions to this effect were passed
by the Legislature and sent to the Gov
ernor on the day before adjournment,
and the Governor yesterday in deign-
ing to pass upon them simply says
that "both requests are declined.
Tho Governor also vetoed the con-
current resolution sent him by the Leg
islature instructing the Attorney Geh-
eral to make inquiry and if he shall
find any railroad company violating
that section of the constitution which
forbids it to mine or sell coal to pro-
ceed against it land the concurrent res
olution creating a committee to ex-
anime into the books and records of
certain companies and make report to
the Legislature. The Governor thinks
that these are not germane to any of
the subjects designated IN the pro-
clamation calling the extra session.
The Governor also vetoes the act to
provide for the assessment of poll taxes
in cities of the first and second classes
for the reason that the entire purpose
of the bill is not expressed in the title.
All of the bills have now been dis
pOsed of aycept tho Phi1a6 O pbia Grin.

law without action on the Governors
part.
