that he sold a little easier than yesterday,
who figured their sales as strong. Good
shipping hogs were in very fair demand at
prices that were steady to a little stronger
than yesterday and the most of the deslr-
able hogs coming under that head changed
hands in good season. The trade on pack

hogs sold at 81 .50d7.5 and on up as high

Wants BIGGER
APPROPRIATION

The following from the special Har
risburg correspondence in last even
ing's Williamsport. Sun:
Representative Il. Scott Ammer-
man. of Montour county. is earnestly
in favor of an appropriation of at least
5000, 900, for the State Hospital for the
Insane at Danville but the state board
Of charities has recommended that
there be appropriated sum very much
less in fact it recommends fifty per
cent. less than the sum asked for. 10
conversation yesterday Mr.. Ammer-
man made very clear the urgent neces-
sity for an appropriation Of at least
$500, 600 for this hospital, mot only for
maintenance and improvement, but al
so that the commonwealth may be
purged Of the offense of itself doing
that which it prohibits others from
doing and Furnishes others for doing.
That offense is the pollution Of streams
A PECULIAR SITUATION.
"Danville, like other towns in Penn
sylyania, is required by the state de
partment of health to provide itself
with sewage plant, and to prepare
plans therefor and for proper sewer
system within a specified time. No
body has any fault to find with this
proposed Improvement. but it creates
4 peculiar condition at Danville. The
town turns its sewage into the Sus-
quehanns below its corporate limits,
but sewage from the hopsital is turned
into the stream above the town The
permanent population of"the hospital,
including patients and employees, is
about 200, and the contamination of
the water supply by sewage from such
a source can be readily reokoned, AS
Mr.. zimmerman points out, the COM
monwealth is "a viostor Of its own
laws of Plantation, and infractor of
the enactments which are enforced
firmly when individuals or corpora
tions are the culprits. Danville wants
relief from the condition here outlin-
ed, and asks that the legislature make
provision for the. disposal OF the sew
age of the hospital, in addition to APP
preparation for maintenance and ord
! mary improvements, in order that fur
ther pollution of the Susquehanna may
be prevented.

HIGH WATER MARK
OF CIRCULATION

At the last regular meeting OF the
trustees of the Thomas Beaver Free
Library, held FRIDAY night, the lib
rariau presented her annual report,
from which some interesting facts are
CLEANED revealing that in point of pat
rouage the splendidly stocked library
has reached the high water mark OF
popularity.
During the year OF 1908 the entire
circulation of books amounted to 36, =
S23. The largest circulation occurred
in March, when it footed up 1874. In
January and February preceding the
circulation is given at 3,457 and 3,677,
respectively. In April it dropped to
3,137; in May to 1888. In July it
reached low water mark. only 1895
volumes circulating. BY last Novem-
Der it had again climbed up to 8, As!
Naturally fall and winter are the
months when most people turn to
books During the summer they are
wooed from reading by the pleasures
Of out-of door life. AS is shown by the
report, in July there were just l., ass
volumes less in circulation than dur
ing March preceding.

DEATH RATE
is DECREASING

The report of the tuberculosis dis
penssry for the month just closed
shows that one new patient was ad-
mitted and that there is a total OF
twenty-six under treatment.
During the mO-,h patients made
forty-thIee visits to the dispeusgry.
Thirteen showed au increase in
weight; nine revealed neither gain
nor loss. Four patients showed loss.
Five were taking medicine
The nurse made fifteen visits. Three
hundred and seventy EIGHT quarts of
milk and one hundred aud twenty. nine
and half dozen of eggs wera suppl
ed.
In Danville last year there were in
all eight cases OF tuberculosis OF
these two were from the Holy family
convent and one was reported from
New York City Excluding the three
above cases, which may be regarded
as imported cases, we find that the
deaths due to tuberculosis form only
four per cent Of the towns mortality.
Nevertheless, the whole number Of
casas are to ba cpnsjferel when il
comes 10 ombatsius the disease a4
each case while it exists is "a centre Of
clnta2ion.
During 1891 cut ot l43 deeths II
were due 90 tuberculosis or con,ump.
tion. We have for that ye,r, with TIE
convent elm mated. death rate due
to tuberculosis of per cent
In 1906 exclusive of the convent the
death rate due to tuberculosis was II Z
per cent.
1t is quite apparent from 'he above
that owing to the crusade against tub
erculosis the death rate due to tubeT-
culosis is gradually decreasing
If we include the Holy Family con-
vent in our statistics we discover the
same gradual reduction in mortality
due to tuberculosis In 1906 the death
rate would then have been, ii per
cent. in 1907, . per cent. and in 1908,
6.3 per cent.

THIS RUNAWAY
WAS A THRILLER

Pedestrians on Mill street about the
close of market Saturday morning
were thrilled by runaway, in which
the horse after threading his way
among countless vehicles on the busy
thoroughfare wound up his spectacu-
lar performance by leaping into anoth-
er sled, where for brief interval he
lay snugly filing the box.
The runaway horse belonged to
Cromwell's grocery and was attached
to light sled. He escaped from the
driver somewhere out East Mahoning
street. He made the very best of time
as he dashed in BY the opera house
block and swung around the corner
down toward Cromwell's store. On
East Mahuning street near the post
office the delivery sled struck one of
the runners of sleigh, in which were
seated a man and woman. A bad
accident seemed unavoidable The
sleigh was jeIked around into the mid
die of the street, but fortunately did
not upset.
After turning the corner the excited
animal seemed to make bee line for
the trolley car aud another collision
seemed imm minert. bat he escaped by
merely n handbreadth. There were
many vehicles in the street directly
in the path Of the runaway, but they
all escaped, although by the very mar
rowest margin.
George Perry, the eXpressman. with
two horses attached to heavy sled.
was in front of Lyons meat market
as the runaway approached. He did
not see the horse, however, and was in
the act of turning around, his sled
standing crUssways in the street when
the delivery horse at mad gallop
reached the spot
The runaway animal was in no mood
to stop even for the sled, but showed
his contempt for the obstacle by at
tempting to leap over it at single
bound. Handicapped by the load he
was dragging he was unable TO clear
the expressman' sled and lie fell into
the cspacious box.
There was terrible II ixup. Wo-
men screamed aud zen ran from every
direction to render assistance. The
horse struck the sled first with his
front feet. 10 his struggles he go. in
to the box with all fours and the next
moment fell over, aud for brief in
terval lay helpless in the sled. By
dint OF hard struggling. however, he
regsined his feet and escaped from
the sled box.
BY this time. however, the horse
had bee seized hy a couple of men.
Mr. Perry was slightly injured on
the back, where he was struck by the
horses hoofs. The delivery sled was
slightly broken but beyond this the
damage was slight.
