NO FOURTH OF JULY FATALITIES There were no Fourth of July fatal ities and no serious injuries in Dan ville thanks to the general etforts put forth to beep the observance of the day down to a sane limit. The usual uuoiber of minor acci dents, the most of which are too trivial to merit space in print, occurred. Walter Gross, East Front street, was probably injured the worst, his left hand being burned with a blank cart ridge. No serious results are appre hended. Dr. E. A. Curry save him surgical attention. Thomas Hummer, the little son of Dallas Hummer, Ash street, was pain fully burned. Ho was returning home from Sidler Hill about noon when an ignited firecracker thrown by another boy struck him in the lace. Just as it struck him the firecracker exploded burning him badly about the eye. The little fellow suffered a good deal of pain for a while, although the eye itself escaped injury. William Slintt of Spruce street had his hand burned while celebrating,but the wound is not serious. David Ruckel's Bad Injury. David Ruckel, who is employed by John Jacobs' Sous, met with an ac cident on Monday, as the result of which he will probably lose one or more of his fingers. He was assisting to rnaßa ice cream. The motive power for this is furnish ed by a water motor Mr. Ruckel was in the act of removing an accumula tion of ice from the cogs on the top of the freezer, when he slipped and his left hand was caught in the rapid ly revolving wheels. In an instant his little finger, his ring finger and even ttie ouo next were shockingly mangled. Dr. Stock was called who dressed the injury, after which Mr. Rnckel was taken to his home on West Mahon ing Btreet. The injured man was seen yesterday. He was resting fairly easi ly. There seemed to be little hope,he said, of saving the little finger, al though he had deferred amputation up to that time. He had hopes of saving the ring finger and the larger finger next to it. Old Timer Keseryes Defeated. The Old Timer Reserves and the team from Catawissa played a very in teresting game of base ball at De- Witt's Park on the afternoon of Fourth of July, before a large and enthusi astic crowd. Both teams seemed de termined to win out and for a short time it looked as though the Reserves ✓ would succeed. But all hopes were blasted by a streak of good batting bv Catawissa, scoring six runs in two in nings, which gave them a lead which the Reserves were unable to over come. Bibby of Catawissa shows remark able promise and is regarded as a com ing pitcher. With the exception of two innings Catawisa was unable to solve Welliver's slow curves. On the whole the game was interesting from start to finish and irom the many ex cellent plavs made it is plain that in the future as in the past Danville shall have a team that will compare favor ably with those of any of the sur rounding towns. The score was seven to five in favor of Catawissa. Thrown Under a Hay Tedder. Jesse Knorr, who lives on the Ben field farm. Valley township, met with a very bad accident on Monday after noon. He was operatiug a hay tedder when the horse took fright and rau away. Mr. Knorr was thrown out un der the machine. In the accident his collar bone on the right side was broken and he sus tained concussion of the brain, besides other injuries. Dr. Shnltz of this citv was called. May Accept a Staff Position.

Uernert, West Mahoning street, a puddlers' helper at the Read ing Works, had a toe of his right foot very badly crushed on Saturday morn ing by a piece of pig iron falling up on it. Dr. Harpel gave him surgical attention. It will be several days before the young man will be able to work. Jameson--Carodiskey. Miss Elsie Carodiskey and Thomas Jameson of this city were married on June 22ud by the Rev. Dr. M. L.' Shiudel at his residence, Lower Mol beiry street. The marriage was not made public until Saturday last when the news came as quite a surprise to the many friends of the young couple. OLD TIMERS AT SBAffIOKIN The game of bast' ball betwoon the Old Timers and Shamokin at Edge wood Park on Fourth of July attract ed one of the largest crowds that was ever seen at that resort. Eaoh team won a game. The Old Timers did especially well, having but three fielding errors in two games, batting being in good form. McCloud pitched a very effective game in the morning,but Skoskio, who pitch ed the afternoon game for Danville, bad an oil day aud his usually ive curves failed to deceive the Sha mokin battery, as they seemed to bit him at will.

L. & W. R. R..the train up on which flagman Renninger met his death only a few weeks ago, sustained injuries at Berwick at an early hour Friday morning, from which he died at the Moses Taylor hospital shortly, after noon Monday. By a peculiar decree of fate Young received the injuries which caused his death in West Berwick not far from where Renuinger met his death and it was while eugaged in the same oc cupation aud on the same train that' the fatal injuries were received. Young's injuries, it is thought,were caused by his falling from the cabin, striking his head aud shoulders. The train at the time was not in motion and the train had been shifting cars in the yards of the A. C. and F. 06. ' At first it was not thought that his wounds were serious and he was taken to the Moses Taylor hospital at Scran ton, where his condition, instead of becoming better, grew worse, aud lie died Monday, with his wife by his bedside. The deceased was a highly respected citizeu of Northumberland; and lias been in the service of the company for almost thirty years, hav ing previoo dy been employed as flag man on the passenger train His wife, si* small children and two mairted children survive him. Funeral of Mrs. Lyun. Mrs. Celia Lynn, whose death oc curred on Wednesday, was buried on Saturday afternoon. Rev. John Slier man cpndocted the services. The pall bearers were as follows: Israel Dimmick, William Aten, Ar r _ thuf Lloyd, Edward Marshal I, Charles Marshall, Clyde Swank .The following persons were present from out of town? « James Horning, Adani Landau and wife, John Landau, Mr. and Mrs. Sbuffstall, Mrs Fount, D. H. Ey,er, Mrs. William Hos ton of Suubury ; Mr. aud Mrs. Myers of Jersey Shore BURIED UNDER THE WRECK Harry Harding of Sunbury, formerly of Danville was killed in a freight wreck at Lofty Tuesday morning. The unfortunate man left this city about two years ago and is well known about Danville. The train wrecked is known as the Pottsville Local and left Suubury Tuesday morning at 2:15 o'clock, on a trip to Pottsville. Up until 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon the railroad offici als had received only a meagre report of the wreck, owing to the accident on the branch of the Lehigh Valley railroad running into Pottsville. A telephone message received from Ma lianoy City states that when the train was nearing Lofty the air was applied and due to some cause unknown at the present time, six oars were piled up in a wrecked mass and Brakeman Harding was buried underneath the wreckage and instantly killed. An un known man who was stealing a tide received fatal injuries and will likely die. The wreck occurred about 8 :4. r ) o'clock Tuesday morning. The train was in charge of Engineer William MeOloud, also formerly of Danville, and Con ductor J. R. Frederick. It was with considerable difficulty that Harding's body was removed from the wreck. The unfortuanat.e hrakeman had been in the employ of the Pennsyvlania Railroad company since April 19,1901, and was aged 28 years. A sad incident in collection with the death of Harding is the fact that he was married about eight months ago and the profound sympathy of the entire community goes out to the widow in this the hour of her deep bereavement. Deceased was a brother of Mrs. John Clark, of Race street, Sunbury. He was a mem ber of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the No. 1 Fire Com pany. Of a kind and pleasing dis position it is with deep regret that his many friends learn of his death. Funeral announcement will be made later A Navigable Susquehanna. It may not be long until Pennsyl vania will have a canal problem on its hands, too. It is quite certain that the next general assembly will name a commission to investigate and report remedies for the destructive spring and fall floods along the Susquehanna. Some experts believe that fche state will'ii elver he wholly rid of these per iodical inflections until a gigantic pro ject of engineering shall have cleaned the bed of the? river atr low title, four strueted a seriew-nf dams to store the surplus Water iti times of freshet and provided a channel navigable for small boats at least As far up as Sunbur?.' Three years ago an officer of'the Urtitefl States army engineering corps marie a tour of the river from Harris burg down to Havre de (Jraee and col lected data for an estimate of the cost of such an undertaking. In round numliers, his estimate contemplates $100,000,000, for which sqm he calcu lates that boats with 10-foot draft could be enabled to ply the whole leiigth of the Susquehanna from the Chesapeake to the junction of the north and west branches. It is to be regre'tted that an estimate was not al so made of the cost or establishing navigation to Wilkesbarre. The solu tion of flood damages would require quite as much attention to this part ol the river course as to the part survey ed by the army engineer. It was recently announced in a dej spatch from York, published in the Philadelphia Record, that the secre tary bf the York merchants' associa tion would soou call a meeting of busi ness mou to give consideration to the proposition of approaching the legis latures of Pennsylvania and Maryland on the subject of making the S.agqoe hauna navigable. If the scheme as outlined is feasible at a cost of SIOO, 000,000, ten years' saving of flqod dam ages would pay for if, to.say nothing of the benefits Accruing from rivei navigation.

Tooley's store Tuesday about 11 o'clock, which was discovered just in the nick of time to prevent much de struction. The lire, it was said, was communi cated to the building by a spark from some waste paper that was burned near. When discovered the blaze had crept up the side of the barn and the roof was on fire. An alarm was sent in, and both the Friendship and Continental Compan ies quickly responded. By that time, however, the fire was practically ex tinguished by a Stemple Fire Extin guisher aided by a bucket brigade. The barn is situated near a nest of old wooden structures and all together un der the drought prevailing the build ings were as dry as tinder. All that was needed was a brisk wind to have giv en the tire a headway which would have baffled all attempts to extinguish it without heavy loss. On Monday night a fire broke out on Lower Mulberry street between the residences of Dr. Stock and Joseph Jones, which was also discovered just in time to prevent more or less des truction. The lire is supposed to have originated from a sky rocket. When discovered the fence was on fire, tlie gate being nearly cousumed. A vessel containing water was sitting near, this Dr. Stock threw on the fire, after which he quickly connected the garden hose and played upon the blaze, which was extinguished without the aid of the lire department. Both houses were exposed to groat danger. Working Night and Day. The busiest and mightiest little thing that ever was made is Dr. King's New Life Pills.

But when it follows a long siege of suffer ing and comes as a deliverance from pain its sting loses some of its power. When, however, the strong and able bodied are stricken down.in the midst of life and seeming health, then the blow falls with crushing force and those who survive are stunned with the awfuluess and suddenness of the shock. We have hail our full share of sud den deaths. The gloom and depres sion caused by one scarcely passes away before another occurs. The last one to reoeive the diead summons with"ut a moment's warning was Benjamin Kasbner ot Cooper town ship, whose home is on the Bloom road near Kidgcville. Mr. Kasbner up to about ten o'clock Friday night was in the best of health. During the day he had been assisting to make hay. He was in the best ol spirits when he retired at the hour above named. A short time afterward* his wife was aroused by a noise and she found that her husband was ill aud attempting to vomit. She at once went to bis assistance but failed to get auy reply. He was unconscious and despite efforts to revive him re mained in tliat condition. The family physician was called but medical skill proved unavailing and the sttickeu man passed quietly away before mid night. The cause of death was apo plexy. Benjamin Kashner was fifty-foui years of age. He was a life-long resi dent of this section and was widely konwn and highly esteemed. In ad dition to his wife he is survived by the following sons aud daughters John, David.Hurley,Calvin and Frank Kasbner, Lizzie (Mrs. Javier Perry;, and Misses Margaret and Florence Kashner.

VVarreo, Dairy and Food Commissioner, on dealers who sell "preserved" moats ami adulterated milk should receive the encourage meut of all good citizens. In Philadel pliia where many arrests have beet made within the last few days, Dr. Warren is quoted as saying: "I in tend to act rather than talk. The mar who mixes formaldehyde and othei poisons in the milk lie vends or wbt colors it or skims it untit for humai: food, will find it unprofitable and it the end impossible to continue in busi ness. Ho will be placarded for whal he is and prosecuted without mercy.' The couimisisoner added that he woulc not be satisfied with fines hut intend ed to send the dishonest dealors t< jail. That is the right stand to take ant Dr. Warren should not allow any tiling to swerve him from his purpose The man who for gain will andermim the health of his custoineis and en danger the lives of little childrei whose principal diet is milk, desorvei not only to be exposed and held up t< public reprobation, but to be deprivet ot his liberty.
