COXEY.
Danville appears to have suffered
sad aflliction this year in being not
only the rcso:t of considerable small
pox, meailes, and Bulgarian scratches,
but the fact has come out that she is
the former domicile, if not the birth
place, of the now notorious Coxey
himself.
This latter disclosure was recently
made to the writer by a reliable gentle
man directly from Danville who had
neither the Danville small-pox nor the
Bulgarian scratchers.
He claimed to know all about
Coxey from away back, when this
illustrious nomad lived there.
From what we gathered from this
personal acquaintance we are safe in
saying that the more desirable atmos
phere of peace seldom blows through
Coxey's whiskers, and that he is gener
ally in a peck of trouble.
If it were not for giving him away
entirely we should say his Danville ac
quaintance pronounced him consider
ably more than eccentric.
But having now attained a national
reputation, like the rest of our more
noted statesmen and warriors, his
character though public property is
more likely to be defamed than lauded.
This being the outgrowth of envy
on the part of those who have no nat
ional popularity themselves, we cannot
condescend to take any part in belittle
ing our more brilliant public men just
out of pure envy, nor shall we com
mence at the general of one wing of
the army-of-the unemployed-anti-tariff-reformers,
but we simply remark that if
Coxey still resided in Danville he
would probably be confined in the
state institution just this side of that
borough.

Hines' Happy Bit.
Washington, Apiil 19. Represent
ative Hines, Democrat, of Pennsyl
vania, has evolved a plan that he be
lieves w ill speedily dispose of Coxey"s
army after their arrival in Washington.
He proposes introducing a bill ap
propiiatmg $ro,ooo, to be expended
in improving some of the country
roads in the District of Columbia.
" I will venture the prediction," saitl
the Congressman to day, ' that less
than $500 of the appropriation will be
expended. The army will get out of
town so fast that all the rest of the
money will be covered back into the
Treasury. In fact, if such resolution
had been passed a week ago it would
have resulted leefore this in the dis
bandment not only of Coxey's forces,
but all the collateral branches as well."
T. F. Anthony, Kx-rostmabler of
Tromise City, Iowa, says : I bought
one bottle of 'Mystic Cure," for Rheu

more good than any imdicinc I ever
took." Sold by C. A. Kleim, Drug

OOMMISSIONEE'8 MEETING.
At a meeting of the County Com
missioners last Monday the following
action was taken :
Commissioners present: J. G. Swank,
G. M.Ikeler. and W. H. Utt.
Mr. Ikeler moved the adoption of
the following resolution :
Whereas, The plans of the sub
structure of the county bridge at
Bloomsburg, the most expensive and
important public improvement in the
history of the County, made and filed
in the Commissioner's ofiice by the
Lite Commissioners with the contract
for the said substructure, consisted of
three blue prints, entitled, "Abutment
River Bridge, Bloomsburg, Pa., South
Side.' "Abutment River Bridge,
Bloomsburg, Pa., North Side," and
"River Pier No. 1," and were simply
crude outline sketches with only a few
dimensions noted on them, and did not
show the character of the pier and
the foundations of the same, to be
erected under the contract : and
Whereas, Mr. James C. Brown,
the supervising Engineer of the said,
bridge for the County, upon his atten
tion being called by the present Com
missioners to the insufficiency of the
aforesaid plans, made and filed in the
said office additional plans of the ma
sonry, dated respectfully, January 10,
13, 17, 25, and 26, 1894, and which
were incomplete, and did not show
the location of the bridge, the position
of the tops of the piers, and the char
acter of the foundation of the same,
etc. : and
Wiieras, The present Commission
ers, to comply with the law in relation
to the erection of county bridges, and
to secure on file in their office correct
and detailed plans of the piers and
foundations of the same, to be erected
under said contract and avoid all risk
of founding the piers of said bridge
upon insecure foundations, adopted
the resolution of April 10th, 1S94:
and
Whereas, The said Engineer, in
pursuance of said resolution, has sub
mitted to the present Commissioners
plans and elevations of said piers and
coffer dam, etc., dated April 12th,
1S94, except plan of coffer dam which
is without date, together with an esti
mate cost of same, amounting to
$5857.96. Thereforebe.it
Resolved : That the said piers and
foundations of the same shall be erec
ted according to plans of same, and
plan of coffer dam, last above referred
to, dated April 12 th, 1894, under and
subject to all the provisions and stip
ulations contained in the contract, be
tween Joseph Hendler and the Coun
ty and the specifications accompany
ing said contract.
On resolution being put it was
adopted by the votes of G. M. Ikeler
and J. G. Swank.
