BrickIayers Are at Work.

The hundred and odd men employed
on the new buildings at the hospital
for the insane were Obliged to quit
work about 1O:30 o'clock yesterday
forenoon owing to the rain. The men
were losth to throw down their tools,
hoping rather that the rain would
prove to be only a shower; but at the
hour above named there was no sign
of abatement and the clothes of the
workingmen were becoming uncom-
fortably wet. a decision to quit was
accordingly arrived at.
Work on the buildings has been him
dered very much by rainy weather and
the contractors naturally desire to put
in as full time as possible. That an
immense amount of work has been ac-
complished in spite Of obstacles dur
ing the month that the buildings have
been under way all must admit
The brick layers are now at work
on the female infrmary The fifteen
courses of buff brick, laid on the wall
of the kitchen wing harmonizes very
nicely with the cut brown stone and
no one can doubt that the effect of the
combination will be most pleasing
when the structure IS completed.
There are at present sixteen brick
layers and twenty stone masons en-
ployed \ number of these men have
been with Mosier and Sommers for
many years. Work is now under way
on all three of the buildings. The
most of the stone masons are employ
ed on the building for the acute insane
on the female side, while at the build
ing for the acute insane male patients,
the excavation for which is complet-
ed, the workmen are laying the con-
crete foundation, on which the walls
will be built.
Along with the array Of workmen
seven teams are employed, the latter
mostly hauling material from the cars
to the site Of the buildings. One can
not help but admire the system and
the discipline that characterizes the
whole operation and it does not seem
at all improbable that the contractors
will realize their expectations and
have the buildings under roof before
winter.

Church Doors Barred TO Pastor

With the doors of the Lutheran
church at Trevorton barred against

year awaiting the divine call, " will
in all probability cease to look for

After waiting in vain for the pastor
to vacate, the trustees Sunday adopt

Heyer arrived at the sacred editice to
hold the regular service he found the
doors locked and the trustees standing
on the steps. An exchange OF greet

This church war is one Of the most
interesting in the history of Northum-
berland county. Ordered out by the
parishioners. told to vaoate by the
elders of his church and commanded
to leave by the conference, Rev. Heyer
persisted in his determination TO await
the coming of the divine call. " At
first fairly large sized congregation
attended the services but for the past
six months the number steadily dim
inished, until it dwindled down to
three or four loyal parishiouers.
The pastor salary was reduced to a
mere pittance. but still he, remained.
Now that he can no longer have the
church at his disposal it is thought
that Rev Heyer will leave the town.
The next pastor will face difficult
task in the reorganization of the dis
rupted congregation.

Ranorts IEyargerated.

Adyerting 10 the reported destruc-
tion of this years fruit crop, by the
recent freezing weather and the snow
in some sections of this State, which
as usual is an exaggeration of actual
conditions, the Pittsburg Dispatch
says: 1t is the presumption of those
unfamiliar with fruit growing that
every frost is fatal that gives currency
to the stale joke about the frequent
destruction of the peach crop. Peach
trees bloomed in unusual abundance
this year. They were subjected to
light touches of frost while in full
bloom and suffered no injury, at least
on.high ground. In some sections they
showed no sign of harm yesterday.
Yet the tiny fruit may have been so
weakened that all will fall from the
branches. Then, again, many peaches
may go to maturity. 1t is so with 9TH
er fruits. The ordinarily hardy apple
was caught in open blossum-its most
tender stage-but few days will be
required to determine whether there
will be no apples. A so-called "black
frost" in May, 1891, preceded an
autumn famed for its abundance of
fruit of all kinds.

LUMBERMEN
TRACK A bear

r. n. Lyons, Elmer Lyons and
Charles Keefer, lumberman in the en-
ploy of the Catawissa Paper Mill COM
pany, are firmly convinced that the
ridge between Dutch and Frosty val
leys, only few miles from Danville,
is the habitat of bear, one of the
biggest of its kind.
Bruin was tracked in the soft
ground Friday forenoon and he was
only short distance ahead of the
men. Each of the party is a woods
man of lifelong experience and it is
safe to affirm that he knows bears
tracks when he sees them.
The three men were walking down
an old road used for hauling lumber
on the north side of the ridge on the
Dewald tract, when they encountered
the bears tracks. The latter seemed
to come down from the bushes and
followed the old road for some dist
ance.
The bear at one place walked through
mud puddle leaving in the soft
ground his well-defined footprints. He
was a monster, if his tracks be any
criterion. Bruin had stepped out Of
the mud and water unto big stone,
which was still wet where the bear's
foot had left its imprint, showing that
the animal had passed that way less
than five minutes before the men
came.
The lumbermen state that there is a
large tract of woodland in that local
ity, which together with the old ore
mines, affords an excellent home for
bears.

Yielded to Tuberoulin Test.


A o. Cawley, State meat inspector,
Oh Saturday performed an autopsy on
three valuable cows belonging to the
herd of ". W. Gulick, Gearhart town
ship which had been condemned by
Veterinarian J. O. Reed as infected
with tuberculosis. The result of the
autopsy was to sustain Dr. Reeds in
spection.
DR.. Reed acting for the State ex-
aminod Mr.. Gulick's herd of nine cat
tie on Aprilll0th, applying the tuber-
culin test. Three out of the nine head
yielded. by which it is understood that
they exhibited symptoms of tubercu-
losis. The test was made by the vet
erinariau at the expense of the owner
with the understanding that the live
stock sanitary board was to assist him
in disposing of the cattle, should any
Of them show symptoms of tubercu-
losis.
The three head of condemned cattle
were quarantined from the date of the
inspection until last Saturday, when
the autopsy was performed by Mr..
Cawley. The result of the dissection
made it clear that each of the three
cattle condemned by Veterinarian
Reed, was diseased TO such an extent
that the carcass could not be used for
meat. The three head were according
ly appraised and Mr.. Gulick will be
reimbursed by the State.

The Grange News says: A new
grange ritual for use in the ceremoin-
al dedication OF grange farmers homes
has been written by Mortimer White
head, of New Jersey. 1t is not yet
promulgated for general use but at the
next meeting of the national grange it
is expected that the ritual will be ap-
proved and its use authorized. The
idea is that grange farm houses should
be named or the farm should be de-
signated by appropriate title,as River
view Farm, Brookside Home, Ferncliff
Farm, or any appropriate descriptive
appellation. Brother Whitehead's idea
is to make this formal dedication a
noteworthy occasion. He assemblies
the local grange on the lawn in the
summer time, each officer occupying
his allotted position. Surrounding
them are the grange members and Wis
itors. On the porch the name of the
house to be dedicated is concealed un-
til the moment for unveiling arrives,
when it is revealed to the blage
with due ceremony. The ritual is
beautifully written and compares
more than favorably with anything
now in use by the grange.

MANY Cases
OF PNEUMONIA

The effects of the sudden and mark
ed changes of weather that character
ize the present season are apparent in
the increased number of pneumonia
cases shown by the report Of the local
registrar to the bureau of vital sta
tistics for April. There are eleven
cases Of pneumonia on the list, which
exceed the number reported in any
one month before. Four of the eleven
cases proved fatal
The local registrar is of the opinion
that in not few instances the pneu-
monia has resulted from exposure and
the habit of laying aside winter un-
derclothing with the advent of the
first warm days, which experience has
shown is sure to be followed by cold
weather before spring finally comes.
Beyond pneumonia there were few
cases Of disease during April. The
most serious was diphSheria, of which
there were five cases There was only
one case of typhoid fever. There was
one case of chicken pox, two cases of
mumps, and two cases of whooping
cough.
There were twenty-nine deaths dur
ing the month"; ten of which occurred
at the hospital for the insane.
The births for April are not as yet
all reported to the local registrar.
For March the number was twenty
nine, which by coincidence balances
the deaths reported for april.
