The North Branch of the Susquo
hauua divides each one of tho three
nouuties, an I makes practically an
equal division of territory—one North
aud the other South of the river—thus
giving the people of tho respective
territory access to their county
seat. Bloomsburg, for the north aud
Suubury lor the sooth, without being
impeded by tho river.but leaving each
portion all the access to the rivor
which it now has.
It would give to each Columbia aud
Northumberland 540 square miles. It
is true, Moutour would be restored to
Columbia where she belongs; and also
that a portion of Northumberland
which was origiually part of Colum
bia. A mere glance at tho map shows
that it is an improvement every way,
over the now territorial arrangement.
Bloomsburg would bo near tho center
of the proposed new county, aud ao
oessible by rail or trolley to all its in

was at one side aud would remain so.
It is possible there might be a little
constitutional difficulty, but "what is

EMERSON'S DEATH
STILL A riYSTERY
SEATTLE,June 23.-Tho facts lead
ing up to tho shooting of 001. Elward
Emerson, Jr., war correspondent of tho
New York World, ill tlio Ear East,are
related by K. L. Dunn, correspondent
in Koroa for an American weekly
magazine, who has reached here. Mr.
Dunn made this statement after boiiig
informed that Col. Eniirsou was dead :
"001. Emerson, as a military man,
was well aware of tho positions occu- |
pied by Japanese soldiers. Some time
ago he mado the announcement that
he iuteuded togo through tho Russian
lines and work from that vuutago
point.
" When it came to tho ears of the
Japanese military authorities that
Emerson intended to take this step an
officer approached another representa
tive of Emerson's paper and informed
liiui that if he took such a stop tho
goverwent could scarcely bo further
responsible for his safety.
"I contemplated u move similar to
that outlined by Emerson," said Mr.
Dunn, "but the .Tapaueso made it
clear that it would not be wise for me
to proceed. Emerson held papors
which would have carried him through
the Russian lines in safety. In view
of these facts, I am inclined to think
the real story of his death has not been
learned."
HOW TO SEE FAIR AT
A MlNlflUM OF COST
Seeing the World's Fair can bo made
tlie least expeusivo of luxurios to Dan
ville peoplo if judgment is used in tlio
matter of expenditure. It requires
only economical oare to keep a visit
or's daily expenses down to the min
imum cost ol living in any American
oity, with a few conts added for ad
missions aud the purchase of souven
irs.
As in every city aud under all cir
cumstances the soale of hotel pricos in
St. Louis has a wide range, but the
visitor has only to dotermino what
price he wishos to pay and reasonable
accommodations are oasily procured. On
the European plan these rates run
from 50 cents to $5 a day, aud meals
oan be purchasod at a cost of from 15
oents up.
Boarding housos, where both room
aud meals can bo had at from $5 to $lO
a week, are abundant in the most de
sirable residenco district of St. Louis.
More than fifty tomporary hotels have
been erected.
For the convenience of visitors and
to prevent impositions being practiced
upon them by unscrupulous landlords,
the World's Fair management has
oompiled aud published for free dis
tribution a complete list of rcliablo
hotels aud reputable boardiug houses
where accommodations may bo had.
There are more than 150 established
hotels in the oity.audall of these have
entered into an agroemeut with tho
exposition not to raise their rates.
Up to this time this contract lias
been faithfully lived up to and with
the immenso capacity of all these ho
tels oombinod the pricos of private
boarding houses have been satisfactor
ily regulated. It is now not only possi
ble to get accommodations of most any
kiud.but at the most reasonable figuro.
With tho restaurants the World's
Fair city and the Exposition aro both
woll provided and as tho visitor is
mostly upon the go while in St. Louis
these are found more convenient than
tlie pretentious dining rooms of hotels
and private homes.

DESTRUCTIVE
FREIGHT WRECK
A froight wreck unque in Beverail
respects took place on the S. H. & W.
division near Bine Hill shortly after
midnight Sunday morning.
Three west-bound freight trains, it
appears, worn passing down over the
division. The first one stopped to take
water at South Danvillo, the rear end
of tho train extending nearly as far as
Blue Hill. The usual precautions
were taken to prevent a rear euil col
lision. The engineer gave the signal
for starting and the flaginau was call
ed in.
Tho train, however, had no more
than got started, when the second
freight drawl, by engine No. 1641 came
rolling around tho curve. The tiag
uian had just loft his post aud with
out any warning of dauger the second
train kopt on with undiminished speed
aud crashed into the roar end of the
first train, which had not got under
anything like full headway.
Tho train struck had two cabooses
attached, the next car being one load
ed with slate. The crash was a terrif
io one and so sudden as to loave the
trainmen but a mere moment of time
in which to save their lives. They all
jumped, however, aud were fortunate
enough to escape the mixup, although
a couplo were thrown down over the
river hank and got a serious tumble.
As engine No. HS4I struck the freight
it ploughed in under tho two oaboases
and threw thera up on top of the next
car loaded with slate, which in turn
the locomotive demolished. By this
time there v a big pile of wreckage
on tho spot with ongino No. IG4I smash
ed aud battered, lying under the mix-
lii n few moments time tlio whole
mass took fii-o and from that hour un
til nearly morning the entire locality
around Blue Hill including the river
nearly as far as this city was illumin
ated by an immense bou fire. The earn
belonging to the train whose engine
was wrecked werepullod baok to Cata
wissa by tho engine of the third train,
which was following on closely behind.
When morning dawned the wreck
was nearly all eaten op by fire, about
all that remained being the locomo
tive, w'lich presented a dismantled ap
pearance, its cabin and other wood
work being entirely consumed, in ad
dition to which it had lost its pilot
and smoke stack in tho collision. The
locomotive, however, was still on the
rails and was easily moved. During
the forenoon it was towed toSunbury.
Tho track was opeu for traffic by 9
a. in.

Fourth of July Precautions.
It is said that during the celebra
tion of Bunker Hill day in Boston last
woek three hundred persons were in
jured through the uso of toy pistols,
firecrackers and other explosives, aud
that this has revived talk about tho
folly of this kind of fun.
Whatever Boston may or may not
do, this comes as a warning to every
town as to use of toy pistols on the
Fourth of July. Wherever statutes,
ordinances or police regulations pro
vent it these engines of death should
he eliminated and thoso who sell them
should bo arrested. The firecrackers
that contain high explosives should be
troated in the saiuo way, together
with the sollers.
Nobody should bo permitted to use
any kind of pistol oil the Fourth or
during any celebration. Tlio man who
uses any explosive carelessly—ovou to
tlin smallost firocrackor—should be ar
rested. It is not nocessary to out oil'
tlio uso of all makers of glad noist-.s, but
tlioir reckloss uso should bo prevented
or stopped. Tlio police of Harrisburg
will prevent the sale or use of toy
pistols on the Fourth. That should be
a hint to the police of all otfior cities.

THE PROPUSED
RIVER BBIDGE
The plans aud spociflcatioiiH for the
new highway bridge ovor the Susque
hauup river betweeu Danville aud
South Danville have arrived at the
offioe of the Oouuty Commissioners.
It is claimed that the proposed bridge
will be the fluost yet erected by the
State. Whethor this is exactly the
case or not may be open to somo ques
tion. A glance over tho bluo prints,
howovor, is sufficient to show that the
proposed structuro takes precedence
over anything that spaus the river in
this section.
The bids will be opened on July sth.
The Instructions But forth that each
bidder shall name tho time in which
ho will complete tho entire work, as
time will be an osseutial consideration
of the contraot.
Tho general description shows tho
proposed bridge to consist of seven pin
constructed steol truss spans, one hun
dred and eighty-six foet, niue inches
ceuter to center of pins, twenty-six
feet center to ceuter of trusses and
forty feet ceuter to ceuter of railings
to bo carried oil two abutments and
six piers. The total length of the
bridge is to be thirteou hundred and
thirty-eight feet, nine inches faco to
faee of bank walls or abutments.
The specifications show that pier
No. 2, known as the "new" pier,will
be used in rebuilding tho sub struc
ture. The coping oil this pier will be
reinovod and new masonry built to a
higher level. The joints in this pier
are to be repoiuted if required by en
gineer.
The cut-water nose of tho piers is to
bo protected by a steel angle eight
inches by eight inches, by five-oighth
inch thoroughly boltod to each course.
All the coping shall bo hammer dress
ed on top and bottom and finished
with one inch draft at all corners and
joints. Tho mortar usud shall consist
of Portland ceinout and sand in the
proportion of one part cement mea
sured in tho original packages aud two
parts of sand by volume.
The roadway is to bo paved with
four inch oreo-rosiuato wood blocks
ou a concrete li.tse with throo-quarter
inch sand cushion. Joints to bo run
full with Portland cement- grout.
WANT PARTY SQUARE
ON BALLOT CUT OUT
The fate of tho "party square" on
tho official ballot of Pennsylvania de
pends on tho ultimate decision in a
ease argued this week in Philadelphia.
For eleveu years the voters of this
state have been permitted to vote any
of tho regular party tickets t>y a single
cross mark in a square or circle on
tho ballot, while those who desired to
exerciso discriminating judgment as
to individual candidates of various
parties have been compelled to mark
separately each name 011 tho ticket.
In the proceeding pending in court
it is charged that the "party square"
is a violation of Section 5 of Article 1
of tho state constitution which stipu
lates that "olections shall bo free and
equal."
The State Banks.
Robert McAfee, commissioner of
banking, has transmitted to Govern
or Penuypacker tho annual report of
the state department of banking on the
condition ot tho building and loan as
sociation of Pennsylvania ar the closo
of the yoar 1903. Tho report contains
the following exhibit of the assets,
liabilities,recoipts and disbursements,
etc., of the 1,19 C building associations
making report to tho department for
1903. Assets and liabilities $117,81)1, -
778.93, an increase of $3,975,758.89 over
1902; receipts and disbursements $04,-
400,811.65, an incroaso of $3,975,924.17
over 1902; number of associations re
porting 1,190; number of shares bor
rowed on, 959,384; number of shares
not borrowed 011, 1,028,308; total
shares in force at tho ond of businoss
year, 2,287,092; number of sharehold
ers, 313,193; uumhor of homes built or
purchased 8,754. Mr. Me A fee recom
mends that legislation bo enacted to
restrain the unlawful business con
ducted by a certain class of building
and loan associations chartered by the
state in order to more fully safeguard
those who contido their money to tho
care of those associations. He says
that there has, in rocent yoais, crept
into these associations practices that
were more contemplated by those
corporations and which are not for tho
best intorests of their stockholders.
Ho also recommends legislation for
those companies generally incorporat
ed in foreign states and pormitted by
tho laws of Pennsylvania to do busi
ness in this state homo co-operative
associations,home building companies,
aud realty and bond investment com
panies.
