THIRD ATTEMPT TO
WRECK FAST TRAIN

For the third time within the past
three weeks an attempt was made to
wreck passenger train ON the Sun
bury division of the Pennsy ylvania rail
road on Sunday morning. The obstruo-
tion, a big bolt, with two inch head
was found OH the tracks, half way be-
tween Bloomsbury and Espy, Sunday
morning. Five minutes after it was
taken away the train which left South
Danville at 10 :26 rushed by.
Harry W. Shuman and A. w. Shu-
man, of Bloomsbury, made the discov-
cry. They were walking up the tracks
to Espy, and stood aside for freight
train to pass by. After it had passed
they continued their walk, when both
noticed the big bolt lying crosswiss
on the rail. They took it off and threw
it down over the bank.
1t was evident that it had been plac-
ed there Intentionally as the person
who put it on the tracks waited for
the freight train to pass aud until he
was sure that there would be nothing
pass ahead of the passenger train.
Some days ago fish plates were found
spiked to the tracks near Mifflinville.
These were removed before any dam
age was done. At another time a rail
road tie was found across the tracks
near Nanticoke.

THE CROPS ARE
MAKING PROGRESS

The Ugh prices of all cereals will
encourage farmers TO plant or seed
more wheat, oats. corn aud barley than
ever before, and while the season is
backward, the ground has been in such
condition due to an open winter, that
it could be ploughed and made eady
for seeding, and now favorable wealth
or has arrived the entire agricultural
area IL more or less occupied with ef.
forts to plant.
Yesterdays Wall Street Journal says
advices from most of the spring wheat
territory in the northwest show that
there are good prospects of completing
a large part of the seeding by May.
The grain crops of Canada alone will
this year fall little short of 90, 900, 600
acres. Another feature of the crop out
look at this stage is the gradual i'm
west. The dry area in Texas is steadi-
Iy being narrowed and the degree of
drought reduced. Seeding and plant
ing have not generally awaited rains,
but we're done in anticipation of the
requisite moisture.
Another feature of the farm opera
tions aG this date is the enlarged pro-
vision made for oats, already sown
over large portion of the winter
wheat territory. Last year the country
had an area of 30. 344 600 acres. Corn
acreage is likewise certain to be great
ly enlarged. The combined area of oats
and corn last year was 1874. 1872 900
acres in the United States The grad
ual increase in the area devoted to
these two crops is indicated in the
United States.

AN ACCIDENT
MARS PARADE

While the massed bands preceded by
the national guard were marching up
Mill street Tuesday afternoon, an &C
oident occurred. which marred the
pleasure Of the event somewhat
A horse ridden by one OF the officers
OF the Milton canton became unmau-
ageable. Chief OF Police Mincemoyer,
who happened to be on the spot, SELF
ed the horse Unfortunately at that
moment the bit broke and the animal
with the rider on his back, sprang for
ward, lesping right among the guards
men.
1t was thrilling spectacle, The
unsuspeoting guardsmen were hurled
right and left as II struck with cam
non ball. One-William Longenber-
ger-more unfortunate than the rest,
was trampled underfoot, the horse
treading squarely on his stomach.
The man on the horse, whose name
has not been asoertained, deserves a
Iutual lOI ulh UAdNoly ahh IiteOhSO "a
mind. When the bit broke he leaned
forward and grasped the horse by the
top of the bride. endesvoring to con
troll him in that manner. TIE bit be-
ing broken the horse had no difficulty
in stripping the bride from his head.
He was free only moment. however,
when the rider with remarkable agil-
ity sprang from tlfe animals back and
seized him by the nostrils. holding
him until he was secured.
DR.. Stock fortunately was on the
spot and took charge Of Private Long
enberger. whose worst injury, was
found TO be on the left arm. the cash
penetrated to the bone. He was also
cut about the head and on the right
hand.
Late last night DR.. Stock said that
ne did not think Longenberger in
juries were serious. The others who
were struck by the horse we're Privates
Joseph Prout, Frank Nevius and Grier
Morgan. All were injured more or less
seriously. Private Morgan's arm was
dislocated at the elbow.

No Time For Retreat.


In an Irish garrison town q theatrical
company was giving performances, and
soin, solCiers from the local barracks
we've engaged to act as supers. Their
duties included the waging of a fierce
fight in which. after a stirring strug-
gle, one army was defeated on a given
signal from the prompter. For q few
nights all went well, but on the Friday
evening q special performance of the
piece was to be given under the patron
age OF the colonel and other officers
of the garrison. The two armies met
as usual at the end OF the second act
when they fought and fought and kept
on fighting. regardless of the agonised
glare in the eye of their (actor) gen
eral, who hoarseiy ordered the proper
army to Retreat, confound you" But
the fight still went on, and soon the
Mortified manager saw the wrong army
being driven slowly of the stage, still
fighting desperately. Down came the
curtain amid roars of laughter, and
the fuming manager hastened to ask
the delinquents why they had failed to
retreat on hearing the signal.
"Retraite," roared a burly fusileer
whose visage had been badly battered.
'and is 1t retraite ye'd have us, vic

Pure Food Agent Getting Busy.

W. A. Hutchinson, of Bloom, who is
one of the officers of the pure food de-
partment of the State, is kept busy
prosecuting violations of the pure food
laws. Last Saturday two of the Sun
bury milk dealers were arrested for
adulterating their milk with water.
Mr.. Hutchinson had two samples of
the same. One contained 26 per cent.
and the other l3 per cent. Of added
water. The penalty is fine not less
than $40 or more than $50. They both
pleaded guilty, and for this reason
were left off with the minimum fine
of $40 and costs.
Last week he had nine similar cases
In Bradford county. These cases were
appealed to the court. He also pro-
secuted several oleomargsrine cases in
Scranton.

COST OF THE
MONUMENT

Numerous inquiries are made as TO
the exact cost of the soldiers monu-
ment. now completed.
Iu order to determine whether any
facts on this subject are available Hon.
James Foster, chairman of the monu-
ment committee. was interviewed yes
| terday.
Mr.. Foster stated that as represent
ing the cost of the foundation and of
the concrete walk he had not the full
figures in his possession. He promised,
however, in the very near future to
publish an itemized account, showing
the full cost of the monument and the
amounts subscribed by different per-
sons contributing.
1t is not gratifying to state that the
full amount of money required to meet
the expenses of building the monu-
ment has not yet beeu raised. although
the members of the committee have
their eyes on certain sources where
I they believe the money needed will be
| dfdllhbl0.
To explain fully. a part of the de-
fGiency is covered by subscriptions,
which have not yet been paid. In ad-
dition to these there are several per.
sons OF means who have promised to
make contributions but have fixed no
sum
Mr. Foster believes that what can
be relied on from these sources will
not only meet the full cost of building
the monument but will also leave a
balance to help to pay the cost of un-
yelling. The money, he says, will have
to be collected Immediately. however.
and all those who have subscribed and
have not yet paid over the money are
asked to make payment immediately.
In the meantime others who have
pledged support will be called upon by
the solicitors.
