Fractured Knee Cap Discovesed.

A most remarkable case was brought
to notice yesterday when it was dis
covered that young man, Charles
Foust, of Danville, who was hurt by
fall last autumn, had been existing
for the past six months with fractur-
ed knee cap, totally unaware of the
serious nature of his injuries.
Last fall Mr.. Foust, who resides
with his sister, Mrs. Truitt, Gulick's
addition, was carrying a pail of water
at his home when he fell, injuring his
leg. He was confined to the house for
two weeks and received medical atten
tion. Later he began to make his way
about with the aid of cane but his in
iuries didsnotseem to improve. Yester
day morning he visited the office of DR..
Harpel, who at once diagnosed the case
as fractured knee cap. Several other
physicians were called into consulta-
tion upon the case, among them being
DR.. l. G. Barber. who was able to
make arrangements for the young man
to receive treatment at the Mary Pack
er hospital at Sunbury.
Since his fall the unfortunate young
man has been in almost constant ago.
Il zing pain. He looks but the shadow
of his former robust self, and has the
appearance of having undergone a
wasting illness. Yesterday as he told
his pitiable story to the doctors and
received their disheartening verdict,
the tears streame6 down his cheeks.
Since his fall, nature has been at
work upon the fractured knee cap,
with the result that the broken edges
of bone have become covered with cal
lus $50 that before the process of mend
ing can begin it will be necessary to
scrape the two edges of the fractured
| bone Even then the doctors doubt if
a thorough and permanent cure can be
effected Mr.. Foust will go to the Sun
bury hospital this morning.

XAMININC
DOGS HEAD

There is slight mad dog scare in
the vicinity of Strawberry Ridge, as
the result of which Charles Reeder, a
young man of that place, may go to
the Pasteur institute for treatment.
The young man bitten is the son of
George Reeder, prominent resident.
The bite was inflicted quite two weeks
ago by Mr.. Reeder's own dog. The ex-
act circumstances of the case have not
been learned, but it seems that there
was something about the dog that
aroused suspicion that he might have
been afflicted with rabies
The wound was cauterized but as
time wore on all things seemed to
cause feeling of disquietude and in
order to allay fears at the suggestion
of DR.. Shuman, the family physician.
it was decided to send the head of the
dog, which had been killed, in to
Veterinarian j. o. Reed, the local rep
resentative of the State live stock SAN
itary board. When DR.. Reed received
Uflo uOB > Iedt lle lllIleuldtely lOI-
warded it to Philadelphia for bacter
biological test by DR.. Leonard Pearson,
the State veterinarian.
DR.. Reed yesterday received a letter
from State veterinarian Pearson report
ing progress. The dogs head, he said,
was in such shape as to exclude the
practicability of the microscopic or
speedy test and made it necessary to
resort to the slower test of inoculating
rabbits, to ascertain whether or not
rabies was present. At almost any
day report based on the rabbit ex-
pertinent may be received from the
live stock sanitary board.
Meanwhile the. State veterinarian
advised DR.. Reed that if in his opin-
ion the dog showed symptoms of rabies
it would be we'll to have the youug
man bitten to take course at the
Pasteur institute without delay. Just
what course would be pursued DR..
Reed yesterday could not state.

Installing a New Boiler.

E. j. LeDuc, proprietor of the "City
ofiParis," which was stripped of it's
boiler by low-hanging wires while
passing under the river bridge at Cat
awissa, Tuesday, will not permit the
serious mishap to Interfere with the
digging of coal to any extent. Mr..
LeDuc left for Wilkes-Barre yesterday
to purchase new boiler and what 9TH
er machinery may be needed to equip
the craft and make it perfectly sea
worthy.
The "City of Paris" had thrilling
experience and the members OF the
crew may feel thankful that they did
not go into the river along with the
boiler. The life boat was also swept
overheard and the crew was obliged to
stick to the dismantled craft. The
anchor was thrown overheard but it
could not hold the big coal digger.
which became the sport of the swift
current. In short time the rope snap
ped in two and the anchor clung to
the bottom of the river, while the boat
bearing the men. swung down the
stream The anchor is the second one
lost by Mr.. LeDuc within couple of
weeks, the other one lying in the riv-
er here below the bridge.
Mr., LeDuc expects to find plenty OF
river coal in the vicinity of Blooms,
burg, which will no doubt be very
much in demand during the summer,
especially if there should be prolong

river falls to the proper level he ex

SEVERAL MORE AUTOMOBILES.

SEVERAL MORE AUTOMOBILES
4 1t is altogether likely that during
the coming summer. several automo-
biles will be added to those now in
commission in Danville and immediate
vicinity. The fact is known that there
are several prospective purchasers and
it will probably be only short time
until the new machines are in evid-
ence.
1t is also rumored that at least one
automobile will be for hire and will
be run in any direction out over the
country roads at so much per hour A
popular route, it is believed, will be
found to lie in the direction of Wash
ingtonville and Strawberry Ridge,
which have always proved favorite OBJ
jective points for hack parties and
others when out for pleasure. A long
er ride of course, will be between Dan
vile and Milton and Danville and
Bloomsbury An automobile run over
the river bridge through Riverside and
out over the State highway proves in
tensely enjoyable. Indeed, it would
besdifficult to turn in any direction in
the midst of our delightful scenery
and not find route that would pos
sess an especial charm in the pleasant
summer weather.

LARCENY OF BICYCLES
Judge DeLacy Determined to Break
Up the Practice.

I'm going to break up the practice of
stealing bicycles. IL possible" Judge Will
lam H. DeLacy. in the Juvenile Court, re-
marked yesterday afternoon at the con-
c1usion Of the trial Of three small~ boys
charged with the larceny Of a wheel. They
were sentenced to the reform school.
The court records, 1t is said, show that
bicycle stealing Is the most common of
crimes committed in the District, and that
boys under the age of seventeen years are
the most frequent offenders.
When asked about the matter the boys
made confession, each declaring, how
ever. that the others proposed taking the
wheel.
In one case, in which several boys were
involved, it was testified that all the booty
Of the gang In the way of wheels was put
together, and that the parts Of the wheels
were then interchanged so that identi1ca-
ton would be hard, IL not impossible. In
former cases, too, the testimony has shown
that parts from two wheels have been
taken to make one good wheel, which
neither owner of the lost wheels could
identify. AS in the case tried yesterday,
testimony in former cases has shown that
frames have been painted, name plates re-
moved and other means Of Identification
destroyed.

MILLIONS OF SPEECHES.
6. p. o. Furnished Many Copies Dur.
ing the Recent Campaign.

The government printing Office was not
overlooked In the making Of the late politi-
cal campaign, furnishing over 5000, 600
copies, it is said, of congressional speeches
for members of both branches of Congress
Work of this character is done at the ex-
pense Of the party ordering the work, and
members Of both parties have equal privi-
leges, the amount being limited by the de-
sire of the member. A fact not generally
known is that any private person may,
upon presentation of certified check for
the amount of the cost, have printed for his
individual use $50 copies Of any govern
ment publication, provided the order is
given before the press work is completed.
The speeches in most demand are said to
have been those on the meat-inspection bill
and the railway-rate legislation. Pure-food
agitation and the Philippine tariff came in
for good share Of attention, while labor
speeches were popular in manufacturing
districts. One ex-senator is said to have
ordered $4,000 copies Of one Of his speeches
in relation to labor.
The largest single order Is understood to
have been for 10000 copies.
