Liable To A
HEAVY FINE

The act of May /, 1905. relating to
vital statistics was violated by an un-
deraker of neighboring town in a
very bold manner at the hospital for
the insane on last Friday. Ignoring
the provisions of the act it is alleged,
he deceived the authorities and re-
moved dead body without the neces-
sary permit provided in such cases.
The act has caused good deal of in
dignation in this county, where the
undertakers are very careful to comply
with the law Of vital statistics.
An insane patient having died that
was to be inferred in neighboring
county the undertaken in question put
in his appearance at the hospital Fri
day. The usual certificate necessary
in such cases and on which tie per-
NIT for removal is based was issued
at the Office aud delivered to the un-
dertaker.
According to the act of May l., 1905,
the body Of dead person may not be
removed from nor into any registTa
tion district until permit for remov-
al shall be properly issued by the reg
istrar of the registration district in
which death occurs.
When the undertaken left the Office Of
the hospital it was thought he would
follow custom and call upon the local
registrar and file with him the certi-
ficate and return of death. Great was
tha surprise therefore, when it was
discovered that he had omitted this
necessary formality but had merely
driven around to the proper quarters,
loaded up the body and driven off.
1t was not long before the local reg
istrar lea arned of what had occurred
and the way he got after that under
taker was wonder to behold II the
man thought his failure to comply
would not be detected he was woefully
deceived
The local registrar broke the news
to him that for his neglect to procure
the removal permit he was up against
a fine, the maximum amount of which
is one hundred dollars. All this took
place Saturday and the man was given
only short time to comply with the
act, by which jt was understood he
would have to come to Danville and
secure the removal hermit forthwith
The undertaken agreed to comply.

WILL BE DEDICATED
IN OCTOBER

Our readers will be gratified to learn
that Notwithstanding the apparent
hitch relating to the money contribut-
ed by the county the soldiers monu-
ment is an assured fact and that it
will be erected and dedicated before
winter.
Tuesday it was learned from Hon.
James Foster, president of the SOL
diers' monument committee, that the
contract, which was awarded to the
Van Amringe granite company, of
Boston, is being pushed rapidly to COM
pletion. Indeed Mr. Foster is author
ity for the statement that the monu-
ment will be ready for dedication in
October.
Mr. Foster explains that the SOL
diers' monument committee, though
disappointed in the amount awarded
by two successive grand juries to aid
in the erection of the memorial, has
never been discouraged and has never
relaxed its efforts to obtain suffici-
ent amount to erect the beautiful de-
sign selected by the unanimous voice
of the committee almost year ago
Kind sympathizing friends, Mr..
Foster states. have come to the aid of
the committee. The encouragement
given has been of a substantial sort so
much needed by the committee to
stimulate it in its efforts to complete
the work.
In view of the above facts the COM
mittee earnestly requests that all per-
sons who have subscribed to the fund
will remit to the treasurer, W. L. Nc
Clure, at once. 1t is also hoped that
all who nave not yet subscribed will
do so when waited upon by the com.
mittee

BLOOMSBURC
MEN ARRESTED

Jerry Miller and Harry Washburn,
two young men of Bloomsbury, were
arraigned before Justice Dalton Mon
day eve to answer the charge of dis
orderly conduct in connection with the
offense of Susan Sarvis and Annie
Ashton, the two girls whose arrest is
described in another column. Informs-
tion against the two men was lodged
by Chief of Police Mincemoyer. The
warrant was served by Officer Voris,
who went to Bloomsbury soon after
noon and returned on the 30 car with
the two accused men.
Upon being arraigned the two de-
PENDANTS pleaded not guilty. The girls,
Annie Ashton aud Susan Sarvis. were
brought down from Jail to testify.
Each of the girls implicated the two
men, Miller and Washburn, explaining
that they were a party to the scene of
disorder in the alley near the d. L. &
W. station, late Sunday night, which
aroused the neighbors and led to the
calling of the police According to tie
self-incriminating story told by the
girls the proceedings. in which it was
alleged all present participated, were
degrading and scandalous in the ex.
treme.
Susan Sarvis, although she insists
she is over 16 years of age, is mere
child in appearance. Annie Ashton
gave her age as twenty.
After hearing the testimony Justice
Dalton informed the men that he
would adjudge them guilty. Fine and
costs, he explained in the case of each,
amounted to $3.50. In default of pay
ing this sum they would have to go
to the lock up for five days.
At the request of Harry Washburn
officer Voris called up the father of
the former, who agreed to help his son
out of the difficulty. An arrangement
was made whereby the officer was to
escort the defendant to Bloomsbury
and there receive the amount of fine
and costs, after which Washburn was
to be released. The officer with the
defendant left on the o'clock car.
Jerry Miller, less fortunate, had no
one to assist him and he went to the
lock mn for five days

HARRY Lyons Joins
REGULAR ARMY

Harry B. Lyon, East Danville, on
Monday enlisted at the Williamsport
recruiting station in the United States
Army, and left Tuesday afternoon
for Fort Slocum, New York, where he
Will remain for some time before he
is assigned to command. He will
serve in the coast artillery. Mr., Lyon
had been member of Company +, n.
G. P, since last April.
A correspondence between the United
States recruiting officer at Williams
port and Captain +. NJ. Harrington, of
Company f, 18th regiment, N G. P,
relative to Lyons enlistment confirms
the view generally held outside of
army circles that the National guard
is regarded as part of the regular
army.
This fact was mads very plain when
Lyon presented himself before the U.
S. recruiting officer at Williamsport.
The latter learning that Lyon was a
member of the guard refused to accept
him into the regular army until he
secured an honorable discharge from
the National guard, which is regarded
as only another branch of the service
In communication to Captain Her
rington relating to the matter the re.
cruiting officer made it plain that a
member of the National guard in en-
tering the regular army can only COM
plete therein the enlistment began in
the National guard.
It thus becomes impossible for mem
bers of the guard to steal off and en-
list in the regular army. When, as in
the case Of Lyons, the guardsmsn who
enters the regular army is minor, the
situation becomes still further COM
plicated, as the captain Of his company
can grant him an honorable discharge
only on condition that his parents are
willing that he shall join the regular
army.
The parents Of Lyons granted their
consent and accordingly the young
guardsman was honorably discharged
by Captain Harrington. who command
ed the company in which the young
man enlisted.

A VERY LOW
DEATH RATE

July is considered one Of the most
heaIthful months of the year The
death rate runs low and the physicians
find plenty Of leisure
The number of deaths in our district
for July was fifteen, which is the low
est number that has occurred during
the year. OF the deaths reported four
occurred at the hospital for the in
sane.
AS will be seen from the following
the district was not exempt from
dangerous and communicable diseases
during the month. Typhoid fevre we
have still with us. There were just
four cases of this disease. There were
also four cases of scarlet fever report
ed, one case of diphtheria and five Of
whooping cough. There was one case
of pneumonia and one case of malarial
fever.
No deaths resulted from the above
infectious diseases. In June there
were twenty five deaths in the district
compared with which the number re-
ported last month shows a big falling
off In June there were eight cases of
typhoid fever in the district in May
there were eleven cases. Compared
with these the showing as to typhoid
for July is also sufficiently enoourag-
ing.
The county inspector report shows
that outside of this district and Wash
ingtonyille borough three cases of ty.
phoi3 fever and one case Of whooping
cough were reported.

GYPSY WAGONS

modern camp wagons passed through
town yesterday. The quaint procession
came up Northumberland street and
passed out North Mill street toward
Mausdale, where they went into camp.
The same band was in camp at Sha-
mokin dam last Sunday. The "gyps, "
if they are the real thing, at least in
so far as their general get-up is con.
cerned, seem to have departed from the
traditions Of their race.
There was nothing especially pictu.

that is associated with gypsy camp.

placed IN JAIL

Susan Sarvey and Annie Ashton,
two girls Of tender years, whose con-
duct was of the most reprehensible
sort were arrested Monday afternoon
and placed in Jail
The charge brought was disorderly
conduct, although their arrest implies
much more and was resorted to as a
measure that might result in reclaim
ing the girls, who were pursuing a
course that was full of peril. The con-
duct of the girls has caused much com
plaiut and has become quite scan
dal.
The arrests we're made at the inst
auce of the chief of police. Informa-
ton was lodged against the Sarvey
girl before Justice-of -the-PeaCe Dalton
Just before noon. She was arrested by
Officer Voris and brought before the
Justice, where she acknowledged her
guilt. She is not seventeen years OF
age, YET, according to the testimony
add duced, it was no unusual thing for
her to be out on the street until after
one O'Clock a. IN. The arrest was made
under the act OF June 25, 1895, and in
accordance with its povisions the girl
was committed to Jail for thirty days.
During Monday afternoon "a war
rant sworn out by Chief of-Police
Mincemoyer was served on Annie Ash
ton. a chum of Susan Sarvis, the arrest
being made by Constable Young. The
