Sunbury and Danville Road Gel3 Un
der Pennsy.
Bids have been invited for the
undergrade crossing of the Danville
and Sunbury Transit Company
where the latter is to pass under
the track of the Pennsylvania '. rail
road near the silk mill at Riverside.
It is confidently stated that work
will begin on the crossing in two
weeks at the furthest and that in a
short time the cars will run through
Riverside borough.
The plans and specificptions, ps
is customary in such cases, have
been furnished by the Pennsylvr
nia railroad company. These have
been much delayed so that it is on
ly on the approach of aul umu that
the Danville and Sunbury Transit
Company has been permitted to be
gi 1 work on the crossing, which
was an improvement arranged for
in early spring.
The plans cad lor coucre.c con-
siiucture, the crossing to take in a
W 'dwi of the radvoad equal to iuree
it neks. At 1 hat poiut the 1 a'lroad
embankment is five feet high. The
trolley track is to lie at a depth of
seventeen feet below the level of
the railroad, which implies that a,i
excavation of twelve feet below t lie
general level will have to he made.
With this trouble satisfactorily
adjusted the Danville company wiii
be in a position to push foi ward to
wards Sunbury next spring.

merry-m tkers, " Idle Jollities" will
soon he llv! attraction at the (rami
Opera House and it is predicted
that no one in this town will miss
"The Toy-makers" that new side
splitting, musical absurdity which
was written by Charles Felton Pid
gin the author of tint famous book
"Ojtiucy Adams Sawyer" which
was read and talked about as "the
best New luigl and siory ever writ
ten." Mr. Pidg'n has written both
book nn t play and every one should
read this amusing slorv if possible
before seeing "'flu Tovmak-rs."
Years ago in Mer y Kugland "The
Toym tkers of Nt 1 ten berg" was
adapted from the German and under
the name of " Doll v" was sung by
Mmme. Rulersdoff 1 tie gifted
mot her of Richard Mansfield, mak
ing a great success over there. Now
Mr. Pidgin is Chief of the Mass
achusetts Bureau of Statistics, he
is simply orimming over with fun
and dry humor which he knows
how to seive up to llu public in a
most satisfying manner.
The date of the production of
"liie loyiuakers," is i hursday
Nov. 2i and it will be given at the
Opera House for one night onlv
The storv tells of a wonderful doll
invented by "John Stubbs Senior
and brought to life by electricity
through many curious and comical
adventures and puts the audience
in great good hutror. Twenty-six
new musical lyrics maice up mis
clever comic opera, full of melody
which were written by Charles D.
Blake and John A. Bennett. New
costumes aud beautiful scenery
were designed especially for "The
Jollities who give a clean, un
hackneyed evening's entertainment
in this jolly opera The Toy
makers."
New Gate at Fair Grounds.

mission of those holding stand tick

This change will relieve the
crush that often occurs at the main

A GREAT OFFER
For You Only
Read this announcement. It is your opportunity.
If you don't read it you will miss your chance. The
greatest magazines in this country have combined to be
offered together at a greatly reduced rate. Never before
was such an offer given to the public, and it is safe to
say never will be made again. This year several maga
zines have increased their subscription price, which
shows how much greater this offer really is. The only
reason we are making it to the people of this vicinity is
because the magazine finds they have not as many sub
scribers as they desire in this particular locality. But
only a limited number will be sold at this price, there
fore we advise every one to accept this offer without
delay. When we have received a certain number we
shall withdraw the offer.
