RUN OVER BY
HEAVY WAGON

John Dennen, of Exchange, is lying
in very critical condition as the re-
suit of being run over by heavy farm
wagon on Friday evening His should
er is dislooated. several ribs are brok-
Ell and he has sustained internal in-
jury.
Mr.. Dennen drove into Danville on
Friday and was returning when the
accident occurred. ImmediatelI in
front of Mr.. Dennen Oh the trive
homeward was Edward Smith, a so of
Exchange. Mr.. Smith had just passed
the buildings on the farm occupied by
Mr.. Delsite, short distance this side
of the hotel formerly kept by Philip
Moser, but at present conducted by
Francis Shelter. Mr.. Dennen, seated
on high spring seat, was just op-
posite the buildings when the front
wheels of the wagon dropped into a
deep water course; at that particular
moment Mr.. Dennen was reaching for
the whip. AS the effect of the jolt he
lost his balance and fell down in front
of the wagon.
He was unable to stop the horses and
as he fell his clothing caught in the
swingle tree. He was dragged a short
distance, after which he fell under the
wagon
The wheels of the heavy wagon pass
ed diagonallyEov his breast, infict-
ing very grave injuries. The man lay
in the road unconscious, after the
team passed on. The accident was wit
messed by Mrs. Delsite. who at once
ran to MIR. Dennen's assistance.
Mr.. Smith as soon as he became
aware of whatshad occurred returned
to the spot and assisted by Mr.. Delsite
removed the injured man to the hotel
kept by Francis Shelter.
The mans serious condition has
made it impossible to remove him from
the hotel. DR.. Snyder OF Washington
Vile has been in attendance since the
accident. On Monday evening Dr.,
Curry Of this city was called in con-
sultation.
Both doctors agree that the case is q
very grave one, the injuries being az
described at the head Of this article.
Complications that would preclude
hope are feared.
John Dennen is one of the leading
and substantial residents of Exchange.
He is married man about forty mine
years OF age.

zimmerman ON
ALL Three tickets

The spring primary, which was held
Saturday afternoon, brought aboat
some rather unique, il not unexpect-
cd, results, chief among which is that
Hon. r. S. zimmerman received the
majority of votes for representative in
the legislature not only on the Demo-
cratic ticket but also ON the Republi-
can and the Prohibition ticket. John
Coleman and George W. Miles win
out in the contest waged by four eau
didates for the nom ination for county
comm issioner on the Democratic tick
ct.
The primary Saturday was the sec
ond one held in Montour county un-
der the uniform primaries act. The
conduct of the election was closely
watched by persons who had the re-
suit near at heart to the end that un-
familiarity with the system and me-
thods of voting might lead to no mis-
takes or Irregularities. AS a result,
there were many challenges, although
no marked i'll feeling occurred any
where.
Although below the party vote OF
the several districts yet the vote Sat
urday was considerably above wha' is
usually polled at primary elections a
fact which attests to the general in
terest which had been aroused.
The principal contest lay between
Hon. r. S. zimmerman and George
Maiers, rival candidates for the nomi-
nation for representative on the Demo-
cratic ticket. The contest, which was
waged along we'll defined lines. was
regarded as very close, both during the
campaign and the hours OF voting Sat
urday, when both sides began to re-
veal their strength. The really un-
ique thing about this feature of the
election is that Mr.. zimmerman is not
only made the nominee Of the Demo
cratic party, but if majority counts,
was also chosen by the Republicans as
candidate for representative. So many
Republicans exercised their preroga-
tive as explained at the head of the
ticket, "writing or pasting" Mr. Am
merman's name in the blank space
provided that he received majority
of some So votes over Charles W. Cook
the Republican whose name was print
ed on the ticket.
In the three cornered race for the
Republican nominations for county
commissioner Jonathan f. Mowrer
and George R. Sechler polled the
highest number votes.
For county aur itor on the Demo
cratic ticket, WI ere there were three
aspir Nnts for the omination, Benjamin
L. Diehl and Thomas Van SAINT were
the winners.
Below is given the vote of each can
didate for nomination where there was
apv nontast.

ROY KELLER

CONGREGATION
WILL DISSOLVE

The congregation of the Emmanuel
Baptist church, this city, has decided
to dissolve. The church property at
the corner of Walnut and Church
streets will be sold and the proceeds
placed on deposit for the purpose of
furnishing a hospital, the building OF
which is contemplated in this city.
The Emmanuel Baptist church was
organized about 1893. At one time it
had membership of sixty-two. But
of late the congregation has dwindled
very much in numbers. For several
yaers past it has been difficult to get a
quorum together.
Under the circumstances the only
thing that remained to be done SEEM
ed to be to dissolve Accordingly, a
meeting was held on Sunday, April
9Th, and the action described above
was taken. The trustees of the church
are George Hunlock, Thomas W. Mills,
William James and Walter Keller.
The action taken. which was suggest
ed by George .Hunlock, was unamim
Gus.
The church property consists of the
church edifice and two properties
fronting on Church street. The cost Of
the whole to the congregation was
$4011. 90. The only debt is mortgage
of $1,000. The balance $3G11, was all
contributed by the people of Danville.
1t was a consideration of the latter
fact that impelled the congregation to
apply the proceeds of the sale to the
furnishing OF hospital. No time has
! as yet been set for disposing of the
property. An effort will be made to
realize as much as possible on the sale
From the proceeds the mortgage OF
$1,000 will be deducted the balance
will be.deposited in the First Nation
al Bank of Danyille to be donated to
the new hospital, to be used in fur
nishfng the institution. Should tn
hospital not be built the money is to
! be kept on deposit in the First Ma
| tional bank for five years. AT the eS-
piration of that time, if the hospital
has not been built, the money is to be
removed from the bank and divided
equally between the Joseph Ratti hos,
pital at Bloomsbury and the Mary NJ.
Packer hospital at Sunbury.
The leading spirits in the organiza'
tion of the Emmanuel Baptist church
were the Rev. A. B. Still, Judson Still
and family, J. D. Howery and others.
The first pastor was the Rev. j. w.
| Crawford, a jealous and energetic min
lister of the gopsel. who assisted at the
work of erecting the church. For a
long time the pulpit was filled with
supplies and with students from Buck
nell university. For over year past
no services have been held in the
| church
