COAL EXHAUSTED

Owing to low water the coal dredges
are unable to get into shore at present
but are anchored out in the stream.
The natural inference would be that
the river is too low for the dredges to
operate. This, however, is not the
case, as they were designed with speci-
al reference TO drought conditions and
draw but foot or so of water.
They could navigate i'll midstream
very easily but it is explained that the
deposit of river coal at this place is
nearly eXhaustc! for the present. The
dredges have done a very large bust
ness this season. The only coal that
remains is mixed with sand and gravel
to such an extent that it cannot be ex-
tracted with much profit. About the
only thing that remains to be done is
to await another fresh with the hope
that more coal will be carried down
from the mines.

DOGS OVERRUN
FARMERS FIELDS

Rabbits, which last year were very
plentiful, this season are found to be
still more numerous and rare sport is
anticipated during the hunting sea-
son.
The restraining force of the rigid
game law seems sufficient to keep
hunters out of the field until the sea-
son opens, November 1st. The dogs,
however, which are no respecters of
statutes, are already on the job and
are causing much annoyance among
the farmers.
Just here it might be expedient to
warn owners of dogs habitually roam
ing at large that they are in danger of
losing their animals, valuable or 9th
erwise, for the trainers are up in arms
and declare that they will shoot the
dogs.
The AMERICAN has been asked
to advert to the matter, not alone by
those who have an interest in the pro-
lection of game only but also by the
farmers, who state that the dogs are
positive pest, trailing through the
fields, several frequently being in one
pack. They declare their intention of
seeking relief with the shot gun, shoot
ing few of the dogs, if the later are
not kept away.
Several dogs were shot last fall and
considerable ill-feeling was engender-
ed landowners declare that they do
not desire to adopt such drastic mea-
sures unless all Others fail. Among the
owners of dogs there may be some un-
aware of the fact that their dogs have
the hunting habit and who from now
ON will make an effort to keep their
dogs from pursuing game illegally.
a farmer yesterday stated that the
town dog" is not the only offender
in this line, but that a surprising num-
Der of the four-legged violators of the
game law are dogs that belong to the
country aud that the latter are prob
ably the worst of the lot. In the ag-
gregate the slaughter of cottontails at
this season is said to be considerable,
many willy and Industrious cur in
one day running down more than his
master is permitted to bag in the same
time during the hunting season.

HEALTH REPORT
FOR LAST MONTH

The local registrars report to the
bureau of vital statistics for the month
of July is unique in that, along with
a phenomenally low death rate, but
one case of communicable disease is
reported.
The number of deaths that occurred
in the district during the month was
eighteen. OF this number six took
place at the hospital for the insane.
With the exception of the month of
May, when fifteen deaths occurred and
June when the report showed seven
teen deaths, the mortality during last
month was lower than at any time
this year.
The single case of communicable dis
ease reported was typhoid fever. One
death from typhoid was also reported,
but it related to case that figured in
last months report. 1t is very rare,
indeed, during the course of year
that month occurs in which typhoid
fever does not figure in the report.
The gratifying feature of the present
report is that the disease is limited to
one case.
The showing relating to the public
health could not be more reassuring.
1t is a season of the year when physi-
clans can enjoy well-earned rest.
Up to the present not single case
of infantile paralysis, which at many
places is alarmingly prevalent, has
been reported in this district The lat
ter disease along with pellagra and
hook worm now must be reported to
the local registrar. DR.. Shultz last
evening stated that while cases of in
fantile paralysis have occurred in this
district neither pellagra nor hook worm
have been known to develop here.
During June eleven births were re-
ported, which is just ne-half the num-
Der returned for May. In April there
were twentyfour births The average
of births for the year is generally
above the death rate.

NINETY IN THE SHADE

That we are having our full share of
humid, sultry and oppressive days this
season no one who is exposed to out
of door temperatures will be disposed
to question. The weather yesterday
did its very worst, mercury climbing
up to ninety in the shade, while the
humidity prevailing added very much
to the oppressiveness. Since the mid
die of June we have had rather more
than the usual proportion of such kind
of weather From now ON we should
have cool nights, which ought TO af-
ford some relief. "The wind is blow
ing over the oats stubble, " a condition
which is popularity believed TO cause
cool breeezs after nightfall,

STREAMS ARE LOW

The protracted drought is having an
appreciable effect on the river, which
is falling at the rate of a couple of
inches per day. The rocks above the
bridge, a familiar sight only when the
river is very low, are now visible
above the surface of the water.
Mahoning creek is almost dry, while
the springs and small streams through
out the country are beginning to fail
Except in such Localities as have been
visited by heavy showers corn, buck
wheat and late potatoes will yield
poorly.
Conditions on the whole are but lit
tie better than they were last season
at this time. The dust lies deep upon
the roads and is hardly to be endured.
Along with the failing of crops comes
the scarcity of water which is apt to
entail great inconvenience upon the
farmer.

WILL CONTEST
IS PROBABLE

1t does not seem unlikely that the
last will and testament of the late Ed
ward d. Kramer of the second ward,
Danville, may be made the subject OF
litigation. By the provisions of the
will the Orphans Home and Asylum
for the Aged and Intirm of the Evan
gelical Lutheran Church at German
town is made the principal beneficiary.
The will was made March 16, 1909,
and was witnessed by DR.. Ira G. Diet
rich and William E. Elmes, Esq, of
Berwick. The trustees of the Orphans
Home and Asylum for the Aged and
Infirm are named as the executors.
The initial step in the matter was
taken Tuesday when a hearing was
held before Register w. L. Sidler in
the grand jury room for the purpose
of examining the subscribing witnesses
as to the testamentary capacity of the
testator.
William Kase West, Esq, represent
ed the executors and Hon. H. NJ.
Hinckley some of the heirs, who OBJ
ject to the probating of the will. Each
of the subscribing witnesses testified
that to the best of his knowledge and
Judgment the testator was of sound
and disposing mind and memory at the
time the will was made. During cross
examination it developed that some of
the heirs sought to contest the probat-
ing of the will ON the ground that the
testator was not of sound and dispos-
ing mind.
The hearing will be continued OH
another date to be selected, when 9th
er Witness will testify for the contest
ants.
The will provides that the widow
of the testator shall have the use of
house No. 749, East Market street, dur
ing her life.
The widow also receives dowery
to be drawn from the residue of prop
erty of the sum of SIS per month as
long as she lives.
Each of the grandchildren as well
as the surviving daughter is remem.
bered with a certain sum. To the IT.
unity Lutheran Church of Danville is
bequeathed 800 to be used for the
poor of the church.
To Orphans Home and Asylum fol
Aged and Infrm at Germantown is be'
queathed all the residue of property

tion is to pay a dowery to the widow
as long as she lives. At her decease. il

SUICIDE IN
BLOOMSBURY

John A. Lamberson, son of Harvey
G. Lamberson, and who until recently
was employed in this city, committed
suicide IN Bloom sburg Sunday aft
ernoon.
The tragedy which was committed
about O'Clock, was attended with the
most spectacular features and seems tc
have grown out of a love affair.
The deed was witnessed by William
Barber, who was standing on his front
/ porch. The youth bent upon taking
his own life was observed liesuIely
walking along Catherine street. When
near Eighth street he deliberately pro
duced a revolver and placing the muz-
zle to his right temple fired the fatal
shot He fell to the sidewalk, death
being instantaneous.
The body was carried into Hart
man S planning mill. In the suicide S
pocket was found a card bearing his
name and stating that he was a mem
Der in good standing of Mahoning
tribe, No. n, Improved Order of Red
Men, of Danville. The card also con-
tained the names of his parents, and
asked that they be informed OF his
death. He gave his age as nineteen
years and represented that he had at
tended the Soldiers Orphan schools at
Chester Springs and at Scotland, leav-
ing the latter institution at the age of
sixteen.
Since leaving school, according to
the card, he had belonged to a couple
of shows Latterly he was employed
by the A. G. q f. Co., of Milton, un-
der the name of John Miller.
The rash act was committed three
doors from the dwelling on Catherine
street where resides Miss Rebecca
Evans, a highly respectable young
woman, with whom the suicide was
in love, but who it seems did not re-
ciprocate his affections.
An investigation brought out the
fact that young Lamberson went to
Bloomsbury from Milton Friday. On
the evening of that day he called upon
Miss Evans but was not warmly re-
ceived. On Saturday noon he reap
peared delivering a letter i'll which
were protestations of love- Finding
himself again repulsed he threatened
to shoot himself and actually produc-
ed a 3S-calibre revolver, which Miss
Evans wrested from him and succeeded
in hiding. Saturday gevening he re-
appeared but did not find Miss Evans
at home later, however, he met her
on the street and followed her for
some distance begging that she return
the revolver, which she refused to do.
Sunday he lowered about Miss
Evans home for several hours before
taking his life.
The Red Men of Danville were noti-
fed of the sad affair and they in turn
broke the news to the parents, who
reside couple of miles down the riv-
er. About seven O'Clock Undertaken
George w. Roat left for Bloomsbury
to take. charge of the remains. Prior
to his arrival there the body had been
removed from the planning mill to the
undertaking establishment of c. G..
! Baker on West street.
John a. Lamberson, the suicide, was
we'll known in Danville. Until com,
paratively recent date he was employ.
