The rolling mill of James Mallen & Company, which resumed operations Thursday, is very busy and the cap acity of the plant lias been increased by the improvements aud new machin ery putin while the mill was closed down awaiting the casting of its new rolls. The engines were repaired and re built so that they are really new aud have four hundred liorso power. The three-high roll is working well and the new "coffee mill," is also turning out iron in good shape. There are nine furnaces aud a hundred and fifty men employed on the two turns. New carriers, from the furnace to the "coffee mill" were also put in. The men will also have an increase of pay, which will go into effect at the same time as the Reading Iron Works. Puddlers will get $4.50 per ton, instead of $4.25, the present rate, and there will be an advance in the other departments. There is a large stock of coal on hand and plenty of 1 scrap iron. DANVILLE TROLLEY LINE. The residents of Mechauicsville ami East Danville are becoming quite im patient over the delay in beginning work on the new trolley line to con nect Danville and Bloomsburg. The opposition, it appears, has now been reduced to five property owners. Whether these will be able to hold uj> the construction of the line or not re mains to be seen. The promoters, it seems, have discontinued their labors 011 the route for the present, but it is hardly likely that they are ready yet to abandon the project. The trolley, which now connects Bloomsburg and Catawissa,has invest ed the entire locality between the two places with an additional charm. Especially is this true of Rupert, the beautiful little town,which will form the terminus of the liue projected from this place. The cars have been running every twenty minutes since Memorial Day. From the aqueduct at Rupert to a point opposite Catawissa the trolley follows the towpath. This stretch of some two miles lying at the foot of the frowning bluffs which Hank tin river, with the broad sweep of the water aud the mountains beyond in full view constitutes one of the most charming and picturesque bits of travel in the state. Rupert anticipates a hoom in build ing. It is indeed a charming place, admirably situated 011 two railroads, and with the trolley now an acom plished fact it has about all the ad vantages desirable. What the trolley has done for Rupert it would do for this city and for every mile of the dis tance between here aud Rupert. It is indeed unfortunate that the liue should be held up a single day by any opposi tion. The Oarey-Beed Wedding. The marriage of Prof. J. C. Carey, the popular aud successful principal of the Danville High school, and Miss Arabella Reed, the accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Reed, took place at the Reed home in Potts grove, June 26th, at high noon. Many of the guests were from the Reed and Carey families. The ceremony %vas peiformed by Rev. J. M. Steck, D. D., pastor of the Lutheran church at Potts grove. Miss Gertrude, sister of the bride, preceded the bridal party to the parlor, where the ceremony was performed, bearing on a tray the ring used in the ceremony. Miss Anna Carey, sister of the bridegroom, presided at the piano. The parlors were tastefully decorated for the occasion. After the congratu lations of the guests were extended, they were invited to an elaborately prepared dinner, and shortly after the bridal party started upon their wed ding tour, which includes a trip up the Hudson,followed by hearty wishes of their many friends for a long,happy aud prosperous life. Mr. and Mrs will make their ,w "iue in Danville. The bride was the recipient of many valuable presents. Among the guests present from a distance were the following: Dr. aud Mrs. R. B. Carey, Miss Anna R. Carey aud Mr. Alfred Carey, of Glen Loch ; Mrs. W. 11. Carey, of Chicago; Mr. E. M. Eckman, Mr. and Mrs. E. K. Campbell and son, Harman, Klines grove; Mr. and Mrs. James Miller, Lochiel; Miss Gertrude Russel, Lewis burg; Miss Jennie Blue, Girardville; Miss Nellie Rayer, Philadelphia. Electrical Flash Light. Each of our policemen now carry an electric flash light, a feature of their equipment which makes them an ad ditional terror to evil doers. It is an Ingenious contrivance tube-like in form about an inch in diameter and some six inches long, black in color and highly polished. It is as conveniently carried as a re volver. All the officer has to do when he finds himself in a dark place is to draw the instrument press the button as it were and he has all the light he wants. The light is just as easily turned off. Hereafter dark alleys and corners out of the way of light will afford a poor refuge for those whom the officers want. From a point at one end of an alley the flashlight will illume the thorough fare for a hundred feet ahead after the manner of a headlight of a locomotive. Turned into the backyard of a dwell ing, it will illume the entire rear of the house and penetrate all the nooks and corners. There is scarcely a night but what the officers in one way or another will find use for the handy little contrivance. Has Accepted a New Position. Arthur H. Bloom, formerly of this city and a son of Daniel IT. Bloom, of Bloom street, has resigned his posi tion as cashier of the Farmers Nation al Bank of Bloomsburg, to accept the treasurership of the Luzerne County Trust Company, at Wilkcsbarre, which will have $150,000 capital and a surplus of $150,000. The resigna tion is to take effect on July 12. Mr. Bloom left Danville about fifteen years ago aud has been cashier of the Farmers Bank for eight years. The Luzerne County Trust Company's building is situated in the public square, Wilkesbarre, adjoining the store of Isaac Long. Mr. Bloom's ability as a banker is recognized throughout the state. Another Good Concert. Another good concert was given Sat urday evening by Stoes' band, under the direction of J. T. Oberdorf.

Forty lamps will be used and seven miles of wire will be put up. The Twelfth Regiment stands very high in its spring inspection ratings and the Third Brigade leads the other two in its averages. The commissary department will be established at Gettysburg on July 10 in a building specially erected for the issue of rations to the advance details and provost guard. The ration list for the encampment has been enlarged to prevent the purchase of additional supplies from private subscriptions or company funds, a practice which General Stewart is anxious to have discontinued. Company commanders are expected to provide and sink in the ground proper refrigerating boxes for the preservation of fresh meat. The great est care must be used in storing, cook ing and serving the rations to the men. The issue of commissary supplies will be made during the encampment, as far as practicable, according to this schedule: Fri sh meat, Saturday, July 12, aud Monday, Wednesday and Thursday; ham, July 12 and 18; fresh lish, July 18, 4A. M ; soft bread, July 11 and Saturday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday; hard bread, July 10 aud Mon day and Friday; beans, five issues; sugar, eight issues; rice, three issues; coffee, eight issues; candles,one issue; salt, one issue; pepper, one issue; potatoes, seven issues; onions, three issues; vinegar, three issues; tomatoes in cans three issues; prunes, two is sues; cheese, two issues ; pickles, two issues; flour, one issue, fifty pounds I per company. General Stewart has made requisi tion 011 the War Department for enough Krag-Jorgensen rifles, calibre thirty, to provide each regiment of infantry of the National Guard with arms for team practice ; also for car bines for the practice of cavalry teams. Captain George C. Kelly,chief clerk of the adjutant general's office, is ill at his home in Lewisburgand may not ! be able to attend the divison encamp ment. Captain Kelly has been con nected with this department since tln close of the civil war and is the oldest employe of the State government in continuous service. Mrs. Stone will visit Gettysburg during the division encampment with a party of Harribsurg and Washington ladies. The Governor will encamp with the troops and a review will he given in his honor after the annual inspection. Colonel Frank G. Sweeney, Inspect or General, has issued a circular in relation to the inpsections of the var ious brigades provided for in general orders recently issued from National Guard headquarters. All organiza tions will parade for inspection in canvas uniform and campaign hat. with white gloves, gloves may be re moved during inspection drills. The infantry of the Third Brigade will be paraded for inspection by regiments on the division parade ground, in such order as shall be designated by the brigade commander, the first regi ment reporting at 7 o'clock a. 111., 011 July 15, to be followed by other regi ments at intervals of two hours. The infantry of the Second will be parad ed for inspection in same manner as the Third 011 July 10, and that of the First on July 17. The inspection of arms and general appearance will be made by the inspector general in per son. The inspection will be under the direction of the adjutant general, pre ceded by a review. Two Games of Ball. There will be morning and after noon games at DcWitt's Park 011 the Fourth of July. Tiie opponents of the "Old Timers" in both contests will be Milton. The locals expect to put up the same quality of ball that won the great game of Saturday and there are two good games in prospect. A series of games is to be played with Watsontown. As Bell will pitch for Watsontown and Maley for Dan ville there will be considerable inter est taken in the series and every game played here will draw a big crowd. Maley was to play here 011 Saturday, June 21, against Shamokin, but failed to come because of a misunderstand ing. His home is in Williamsport and lie was informed that manager Herdie had advertised that the 'Old Timers" were to play in Williamsport on that date. He waited there for the Dan ville team until too late to come here for the game with Shamokin. Don't Fail to Try This.

Nil WIIOII I'll III: IUII. That "it is an ill wind that blows nohoily any good" is just now forcibly realized by those having wood to soil, who have been able to dispose of alt they couid scrape together at way-up prices,while the coal dealer for weeks has been completely out of business and obliged to count 11is loss at so much per day. Unfortunately for the wood dealer he has now only a short lease of pros perity ahead. While green timber abounds in plenty the supply of dry wood is about exhausted. The demand began to increase immediately after the strike was declared. Coal dealers bought what they could get hold of carrying it for sale in lieu of coal. Portable saw-mill owners have found an increased demaud for their slabs and edgings, uhih ur. u i;a'!.. iwif. up into stove lengths and sold about the neighborhood by the wagon load. At present wood of any kind is hard to get, while (he price, originally #2.00 or thereabout per cord, has gone up as high as $3.30 per cord. Among the industries there is but one class in which wood can be used as a substitute for coal with any de gree of success, and that is the brick making plants. .John Keim of this city has about consumed his stock of both coal and wood. He has two kilns of brick in process of burning at pres ent, one being fired with coal aud the other with wood. It requires forty cords of wood to burn a kiln of brick and Mr. Keim says he has no idea of where the next supply is to come from. Being unable to obtain either coal or wood he is much afraid that he shall be obliged to shut down his brick yards. EVERY TIME THE CLOCK STRIKES "Talk of the difference in business trips," remarked a well-known busi ness man last week. "Why, you youngsters have it fine now when you goto New York. When I commenced business 1 looked forward to the journey for some time, hating to stav away over night, which was a necessity in those days, and probably staid up half the night, so as to be sure and catch the train, leaving home way ahead of time for fear of having the wrong time table. "Nowadays, 1 make up my mind to goto New York, and, looking at my watch to see how much time I have to reach the Reading Terminal, know ing lint the Philadelphia & Heading's last trains leave there every time the clock strikes, from 7 in the morning until 7 at night,start off at once,reach New York in a couple of hours attend ing to business, strike the Jersey Cen tral Station, Liberty St., on the hour, and starting home again, reach Phila delphia,having used up six hours time or in reality only five, as instead of spending an hour at lunch, I got mine in the Buffet Parlor Car while making fast time between the two cities. "1 tell you what, the Philadelphia j& Reading Railway seems determined to secure all the business travel be tween the two places. They reduced the time,put Buffet Parlor Cars on all trains running at hours when they were needed, hesitate at hardly any thing that tends to insure the safety, comfort and pleasure of their passeng ers, and now comes their new depar ture, a train from each Terminal every time the clock strikes in business hours, scheduled on quick time, aud the best part of all, keeping up to schedule."

Roasted to death as the result of playing with matches was the fate of Warren Weaver, aged three and a half years, sou of Milton Weaver, who resides near Elysburg. The accident happened Sunday noon. The boy was playing on the rear porch when his clothing caught fire. His mother, who was all alone in the house, heard his agonizing screams and ran to his aid. By that time the clothing was nearly burned off and his body was a mass of blisters from the head to the knees. He lingered until Monday morning when death ended his suffering. The remains will be taken to Elizabethvillo Wed nesday for burial. PLAIN TALK. Straight talk to the poiut- The Virtues of l)r. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills told in a few Words by a Danville Oiti zeu who Knows. Mrs. Jacob Mills of Cor. Front & Church Street, Danville, Pa., says Last fall 1 was feeling very poorly and ner vous. I had frequent spells of nervous headache and a good ileal of trouble with my stomach. Seeing Dr. A. W Chase's Nerve Pills recommended I got a box at (Josh's Drug Store and used them with good results. 1 rest so much better and felt stronger and brighter. They certainly did me good and I can highly recommend them." Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Bills are sold at 50c. a box at dealers or Dr. A. W. Chase Medicine Co., Buffalo, N. Y. See that portrait and signature of A. W. Chase, M. D are on every pack- ON limit limim The practice of fast driving upo the river bridge is indulged into a shameful extent. The worst offenses probably are committed at night, when relying upon the absence of the watchman parties speed through at a fast trot,which causes the long bridge to sway in a manner not all comfort able to pedestrians who happen to be on the side walk. There is no mistake but that the bridge has been more or less injured by fast driving and what the result may be if it is not stopped it is not difficult to foretell. A penalty is imposed for driving through the bridge at a gait "faster than a walk". There* should be no doubt as to the exact meaning of this, but many persons seem to fall into the error of thinking they are at liberty i allow their horses to pace while on the bridge. Watchman E. K. Hale is generally on the alert to do what he can to prevent fast driving, but in spite of him the rules are constantly violated. Time and again parties have been detected in fast driving and sum moned to appear before the 'Squire, where they paid dearly enough for their infraction of the rules. Two well known citizens were before Justice Oglesby Saturday in response to .sum mons served last Saturday. They pleaded very hard, so that Watchman Hale finally relented, remitting their liues although the offenders Were ob liged to pay the costs. The County Commissioners have re solved that a new leaf must be turned and that henceforth the rules in all cases must be strictly euforced so that he who drives his horse over tlie bridge "faster than a walk" does so at his risk. Let all, therefore,take warning. Commencement Exercises.

Campbell, were overturned Tuesday morning in a mix-up caused by the horse in the wagon becoming fright ened. Both animals were in front of tlie Foulk store, on Mill street, when the grocery horse walked out from the curb, locking the wheels of the two vehicles. This started its scare and alter plunging about so as to cause the double upset it started north on Mill street,but was caught in front of Smith's restaurant. The tops of the wagon and buggy were considerably damaged, but no one was hurt. Underwent a Serious Operation. Ruth Russell, who is only nine years old, underwent a serious opera tion Tuesday afternoon with remark able fortitude for one so young in years. Dr. I. G.

For Mnny Yearn He Ministered to the Ariatucrney of the City at firnee t'hareh, anil IIU Name Adorns n Tnlilet on Its Wnllx. It used to be said that a stranger who was visiting New York for the first time and asked his hotel clerk for ad vice as to what be should do on Sun day morning would find his doubts quickly reduced to the alternative, "(Jo over to Brooklyn and hear Beeclier" or "Goto Grace church and see Brown." No prelate of the Episcopal church was so widely known either in or beyond his New York diocese as this valiant guardian of old Grace, whose income, it was estimated, was greater than that of any man in the cloth and whose power in society was even more feared than that of any bishop. lie received his appointment as sex ton from the Rev. Dr. Thomas House Taylor, and, while I»r. Taylor lias been long forgotten, Sexton Brown is still almost as much remembered in the great city as Jim Fisk, A. T. Stewart or Charles Delmonieo. Brown would cultivate the acquaint ance of head waiters and cooks, secur ing the latest Information as to the social plans of their masters and mis tresses, and whenever he learned that a party or a ball was under considera tion he would offer his services to de liver the Invitations or look after tho comfort of the guests or superintend their arrival and departure in their carriages. Beginning in this humble way, It was not long before he gained the good will of distinguished patrons. His authoritative manner, too, was admirable for such occasions. Indeed the host himself could hardly issue a command to his menials with the suavely peremptory emphasis which Brown employed. Such was his de portment and such his trustworthy zeal that it was said that no one in Grace church could be properly feasted or buried or could even say his prayers Without the assistance of Brown, and eventually it became something like a dictum in a large portion of society that nobody could be married in New York in truly first class style unless Brown's presence blessed the bridal party. Nor did any detail that might lie wanting for tlie personal comfort of the congregation escape his vigilant eye. It was a habit of old Peter Stuy vesant, for example, to keep in his pew a thermometer. As soon as he hud tak en his seat he would consult It. One winter morning when the temperature was extremely low the furnaces of the church got out of order, and Brown's assistants were able to force through them only enough heat to lessen the chill a little. It occurred to Brown that the condition of the atmosphere would not be conducive to either the piety or the comfort of the aged Stuyvesant. When the old gentleman arrived with in the porch of the church, he was shivering with the cold, but without attracting his attention Brown, who knew that the first thing he would do would be to step into his pew and ex amine the thermometer, slipped in ahead, pressed one of his fat fingers to the little glass bulb and chuckled as he saw the mercury ascend to 72. When Stuyvesant reached the pew, he con sulted the thermometer as usual, look ed around wonderingly, but evidently concluded that the church must be warm enough and that therefore it must be himself who was cold. Brown's funeral was marked by much of the pomp and circumstance which he himself had so often provided for the rich and the great. The wits said that It was the first In forty years that had been a perfectly correct per formance without his individual guid ance. lie had died in the little town of Braudford one August night In 1880. There lie had been in the habit of tak ing bis summer rest. He had been overcome by the heat while attending a wedding at Brandford, and that sum mer he complained, probably for the first time In his life, of 111 health. One of Ids orders was that his body should be placed in a casket of polished Span ish cedar. A more ponderous casket had never been carried up the aisle of Grace church. It was rich with silver and velvet. It was so heavy—lts Interior being large enough for two ordinary corpses—that the eight Knights Tem plars who bore it into the church al most staggered with their burden. Upon it lay their cocked hats with wav ing ostrich plumes. Within the chancel stood four of the clergy, in the pews were the representatives of some of the proudest families of the city, aud a long line of men and women filed Into the church showing all the signs of sor row for an old friend and neighbor. On the left hand side of Grace church as one turns after entering the porch under the bell tower and near where Brown was wont for more than a gen eration to take his station every Sun day Is n shining brass tablet. It was there placed by members of the congre gation In token of him who Is described upon It as "The Faithful Sexton" and whom they "gladly recall for his fideli ty, his generosity and his stainless In tegrity." It is next to the bas-relief which commemorates the virtues'of the illustrious Cadwallader I). Golden, once mayor of New York —what greater posthumous glory would Brown have craved?—and is not less conspicuous than the old tablet on the opposite side which was erected to the memory of Henry Brevoort, whose family was de rived In "unbroken descent from the colonists of New Netherlands." —Ladies' Home Journal.

A mixture of corn and soy beans is Recommended by tlie Hatch station of Massachusetts ns a most desirable fod der crop for the last ten days of Au gust and the first two or three weeks in September. A medium early corn is preferred. Some of the sweet varieties ,are excellent. The Canada or Long fellow Is also desirable. The medium green soy bean is the most suitable va riety. This Japanese bean is now so well known that a description is hard ly necessary. The seed can be pur chased of all large dealers. It grows time to three and one-half feet high, needs no support and is thickly stud ded with leaves. For several years we liave sown the corn with a corn planter in rows three J J COICN AND SOY BEANS, and one-half feet apart and then plant ed the beans with a hand corn planter in the same rows with the corn, one lot of beans being placed every few inches. It is considered preferable, however, to mix the corn and beans to gether in the proportion of about ten quarts of corn to seven quarts of beans. This mixture can be planted with planter so regulated that the kernels will be about two inches apart in the row. It will, of course, be impossible to maintain this regularity, but it will be sufficient for the purpose. The crop is to be cultivated and harvested in the same manner as corn. The first seeding should be made May 15 and a second June 5. One-half acre is ample for ton cows two weeks. The first sowing will be ready to cut about Aug. 20 and the second the first week in September. When cutting be gins, the corn will have many well formed ears, and the beans will have begun to form seed. The yield to the acre will be In the vicinity of twelve tons, equal to two and three-quarter tons of dry matter containing 3,000 pounds of actual digestible material. If corn is grown extensively upon the farm, one planting of corn and beans may be sufficient, the farmer prefer ring to feed from his field corn after the first week in September. Fodder corn without the beans also makes an ex cellent green food. Varieties of Co«vi»ean For the North. As to the varieties of cowpeas best for the north The Rural New Yorker says: It depends on what you want them for. if for seed, the early va rieties, like Early Black, New Fra and Mount Olive, should be used. These will usually produce seed as far north as central New York, but we doubt whether seed growing will pay. The chief value of the crop to the northern farmer will be in the vine, to be used as pasture or for plowing under. For these purposes we advise the later va rieties, such as Whippoorwill, Wonder ful, Clay and Unknown. These will make large vines, but are not likely to mature seeds, although we have grown seeds of all except Unknown in north ern New Jersey. We think it will pay the northern farmer to buy seed of these later varieties from the south rather than to try to grow seed of the earlier varieties on his own farm. The cowpea looks much like a bean, though it is unlike any true bean in cultivation except that it is very tender and must not be planted until the ground Is warm enough for eom. Xo llot>e For Hint.
