1903. DENIED AT THE Foolish Story Relating to Wholesale Escape of Patients. The Danville News says, "'The North American ot Friday printed a story in the form of a despatch from Dushore relating to the Hospital for the Insane here, which will be read far and wide and accepted as truth. It is nearly all a dream, however, and does considerable injustice to the Hospital. The despatch reads as follows: "Dushore, August 20-Joseph Ambs, who recently escaped from the Danville Insane Asylum after releasing fifteen other inmates, has reached his home here.

He outwitted his searchers by climbing a tree and hiding in the foliage until they had passed. His appearance created consternation in the family." The hospital authorities are very indignant over the foolish story. The only thing about it true is that the patient, who escaped last week, is at his home at Dushore. Instead of causing any among his family, the latter are so well pleased with him that they have written the Hospital and asked that they be permitted to keep him at home for awhile, as he seems to have nearly recovered. The interesting bit of fiction about hiding fifteen in the tree top and "releasing other patients" originated in the brain of either the insane man or some one connected with the newspaper publishing the story.

The plain facts of the escape were related by an attache of the Hospital yesterday. It happened last week. Sixty patients in charge of three attendants were out walking in Toby Run Hollow. "At a point remote from the hospital five of the patients, among whom was Ambs, took it into their heads to run away. While one attendant remained in charge of the large body of patients, the other two started in pursuit of the fugitives, but the best that each could do was to bring back the man, which left three of the runaways still at large.

Two of these were soon caught, one at Mechanicsville and the other near Grovania. Ambs, who had the best start, succeeded in reaching his home in Dushore." THE OUP RACES. Years in Which the Britons Have Striven 1 to Lift It. 1851-America won the Royal Yacht Squadron in the regatta around Isle of Wight. Cup afterward called America's Cup.

SEELY, J. P. HEYMAN, President. Secretary. School Board Meeting.

There will be a meeting of the Bloom School Board on Friday evening, at 8 o'clock. All teachers and janitors are requested to be preseut to sign their contracts. Ten hundred deer will be liberated from Buck wood Park, rear Shawnee, at an early date, and farmers who live in the vicinity fear that the animals will destroy their grain, vegetables and shrubbery. C. C.

Worthington, the millionaire owner of the park, will liberate the herd because they have denuded the park of everything which is palatable to a deer. If the fences are kept up, the game keeper says the animals will starve. They had a hard time last winter and it will be much worse next. The open season does not commence until November 1st, and if the herd is liberated prior to that time the farmers will, they think, be at the mercy of the animals. Sportsmen, naturally, are greatly elated at the news.

They see before them a big game season which will be unparalleled. Eleven years ago Mr. Worthington placed nineteen deer in his park. The breeding has been so rapid that in a decade the herd numbers more than 2000. The millionaire hopes to feed half of the herd.

Seven years in business is our reference. Gem Steam Laundry. W. Holmes, formerly agent for the D. L.

All were arrested and gave bail for their appearance.

Kriner, while reparing the fire box of an engine Monday morning, slipped and upset over himself the gasoline torch he was carrying. Frantic, he rushed down an alley in the wind, a human torch. Companions caught him and extinguished the fire, but not until I he was tatally burned. -While persumably under the ininfluence of liquor, Sadie Cassel, aged 30, of Harrisburg, deliberately saturated her clothes in gasoline on Monday and then applied a lighted match to herself.

Her burns are of a most serious nature, and although re. moved to the hospital immediately, she has not the slightest chance of recovery. -John Moyer, an engineer on the Pennsylvania railroad, when nearing Retreat, near Wilkesbarre, ran over an unknown man. The upper portion of the head, both legs and an arm were severed from the body and the pockets of the man's clothing were turned inside out, icdicating that he may have been murdered and his body placed on the track. -Jacob Wilsey, a farmer living near Tunkhannock, was attacked by his vicious dog on Monday.

The animal seized him by the throat, threw him down and was mangling him terribly when Mrs. Wilsey came to her husband's rescue with an ax. She struck at the dog just as Wilsey raised his leg. Wilsey received the full force of the blow just below the knee, severing an artery. He bled to death before a physician could reach him.

They Burned the Wood. The party of young people who held a corn roast at the point of the creek, below the Keiter mill Tuesday evening probably wondered 011 reaching the same, what became of the wood they had previously prepared. A young man 011 the car observing the party get off at Rupert, smiling to himself informed the writer that he and some others while in bathing in the afternoon, had set fire to it and burned it. He seemed to think it was a huge joke but the corn roasters no doubt regarded it as a mean trick. Not New Here.

A commercial man the other day told us of a new game called "'gossip," which he says is having quite a run in some localities in the eastern states. It is played with photographs. They are shuffled and dealt out like cards, everyone in the party receiving a photo. It is then the play to tell every mean thing that can be thought of about the party photographed. The game is not new in Bloomsburg by any means.

It has been played here for years, without photographs too. Prohibition Oonvention and Picnic. The annual Prohibition convention and basket picnic will be held at Keiter's Grove, Rupert, on Friday, August 28. Prof. H.

Upward of 800 homes is the number that have been erected in Berwick and West Berwick since the building boom which was the result of the great business boom began. Of this number considerably over 500 have been erected within the past. twelve months. Nothing can better exemplify the town's progress, which has been remarkable, than activity in the building line with general bustness activity.

Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, Secretary of the State Game Commission, has received several communications from members of the Legislature asking why the digest of the game and fish laws for 1903 allotted to them had not been issued.

Upon inquiry he found that twentyfour thousand copies of the digest have been lying at the Capitol for more than a month. Sixteen thousand copies of this pamphlet were sent there to be forwarded to the members of the House, and eight thousand for the members of the Senate, but nothing has been done. Dr. Kalbfus has addressed a letter to every member of the State Legislature informing them that these digests were sent to the proper officia's to be mailed, and the delay in the receipt of theta was not the fault of the office of the Game Commission.
