OLD TIMERS
ATJHAMOKIN
The game of base ball between 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. Each team
won a game.
The Old Timers did especially well,
having bat three fielding errors in two
games, batting being in good form.
HcCload pitched a very effective game
in the morning, but Skoskie, who pitch
ed the afternoon game for Danville,
had an off day and his usually ettoot
ive curves failed to deoeive tho Sha
mokin battery, as they seemed to hit
him at will.

A Navigable Susquehanna.
It may not be long until Pennsyl
vania will have a canal problom on
its hands, too. It is quito certain that
the next general assembly will name
a commission to investigate and report
remedies for the destrootivo spring
and fall floods along the Susquehanna.
Some experts believe that tho statu
will never be wholly rid of these per
iodical infliotions nntil a gigantio pro
jeet of engineering shall have cleaned
the bed ot the river at low tide, con
structed a series of dams to store the
■orplas water in times of freshet and
provided a channel navigable for small
boats at least as far ap as Sunbury.
, Throe years ago an officer of the
United States army engineering corps
made a tour of the rivor from Harris
burg down to Havre de Grace and col
lected data for an estimato of the oost
of such an undertaking. In round
numbers, his estimate contemplates
1100,000,000, for which sum he calcu
lates that boats with 10-foot draft
oould be enabled to ply the whole
length of tho Susquehanna from the
Chesapeake to the junction of the
north aud west branches. It is to be
regretted that an estimate WAH not al
so made of tjie cost of establishing
navigation to Wilkesbarre. The solu
tion of flood damages would requiro
quite as maoh attention to this part of
the river coarse as to the part survey
ed by the army enginoer.
It was recently announood in a de*
■patch from York, published in the
Philadelphia Record, that the secre
tary of the York merchants' associa
tion would soon oall a meeting of busi
ness men to give consideration to the
proposition of approaching the legis
latures of Pennsylvania and Maryland
on the sabjeot of making the Sußque
hanna bavigable. It the scheme as
outlined la feasible at a oost of SIOO,-
000,000, ten years' saving of flood dam
ages would pay for it, to say nothing
of the neneflts accruing from river
navigation.
David Buokel's Bad Injur;.
David Haokel, who is employed by
John Jaoobs' Sons, mot with an ao
oideut on Monday, as the result of
whloh he will probably lose one or
more of hiß Angers.
He was assisting to make ice cream.
The motive power for this is furnish
ed by a water motor. Mr. Ruckel was
in the aot of removing an accumula
tion of ioe from the cogs on the top
of the freezer, when he slipped and
hia left hand was caught in the rapid
ly revolving wheels. In an instant
bis little finger, his ring linger und
even the one next were shockingly
mangled.
Dr. Stock was called who dressed
the injury, after wiiioli Mr. Rnakel
was taken to his home on Wost Mahon
ing street. The injured man was seen
yesterday. He was resting fairly easi
ly. There seemed to bo little hope, 110
■aid, ot saving the little finger, al
thongh he had deferred amputation up
to that time. He had hopes of saving
the ring finger and the larger finger
next to it.
Funeral of Mrs. Lynn.
Mrs. Oelia Lynn, whose death oc
curred on Wednesday, was buried on
Saturday afternoon. Rev. Joliu Sher
man oonduoted the servioes.
The pall bearers were as follows:
Israel Dimmiok, William Aten, Ar
thur Lloyd, Edward Marshall, Oharles
Marshall, Olyde Swank.
The following persons were present
from out of town : James Horning,
Adam Landau and wife, John Landau,
Mr. and Mrs. Sliuffstall, Mrs. Foust,
Mrs. D, H. Eyer, Mrs. William Bos
ton of Snnbury ; Mr. and Mrs. Myers
of Jersey Shore.
Next Fourth of July it is likely some
additional features will be oat out.
BOSTON PREPARING
FORVpfiANS
Members of the Graud Army, who
intend going to Boatou to attend the
next annual encampment will bo in
terested to know what is to be tar
nished in the way of entertainment.
Many of.them will ba most interested
in the great parade which is to be
Tuesday. Many, oapeoially.tliqmd from
the interior, will be interested in the
squadron ot battleships whioh the
Secretary of the Navy lias promit'td
shall be ordered to Boston daring
Grand Army week.
One of the unique features will be a
river channel at Walthani, on the
Charles. With the Charles River and
its south bank as the stage, and tha
north bank as the auditorium, there
is booked to be produoed on the night
of Wednesday, August 17th,the grand
est spectacle over seen in the hiitory
of river carnivals. There will ibe no
curtain save the shades .of night, and
these will be neoessary to bring out
the effects. There will be a real moon
and real water. The scenery, will oom
priso real grasß, trees and houses. Bril
liancy will be bronght out by a gigan
tic pyrotechnio display. The dicta
tors will come from all parttfof the
country. It is estimated that; the au
dience will consist of at lent *2oo,ooo
people.
Added to this general effeot will be
the illuminations along the shore,bat
teries between skyrockets and 'search
lights,and the unlqaa or grotesque de
tails of some ot the boat deaorations.
Four thousand canoes will dbt this
two mile course. y,
It is the intention of tho entertain
ment committee to provide free trans
portation, between Boston and Wal
tham, to all the representatives and
delegates of the G. A. R., as well as
the distinguished guests of the allied
organizations. Tho soene of the oar
nival is but a short ride on tho- steam
cars,or if one perfers the eleotrio oars,
it furnishes one of tho most beautiful
trolley rides out of Boston.
Residents along the south bank of
the river are already planning their
decorations and illuminations, and a
spirited rivalry will ensue to see who
shall do the most for the old soldier
visitors.
The grandest chorua ever heard in
the United States will bo heard on
that night, when 200,000 spectators
join In one mighty burst of song to
the tune of America. That all may he
in time, Bandmaster John M. Flock
ton, of the world famous American
Walthani Watch Company band, 'will
use as a baton a lighted torch. Then
with the full brass band, as an Accom
paniment will the multitude join in
the inspiring song. ( if
A unique feature of tile carnival
will bo the finale. Plans are being
mado so that eaoh boat will be suppli
ed with red tire. All possible places
of vantage along both banks will he
similarly supplied. A signal will bo
given by a gun, aud the six miles of
red fire, three lines of two miles each,
will be simultaneously ignited. In
such a blaze of glory will the old vet
erans and other visitors soe the close
of an unrivalled speotacle. '
Planning Summer Trips.
At this season of the year, the get
away idea is prominent in every one's
thoughts and all those expooting to
have a week or more vacation during
the summer are arranging (or their
trip. •
There is no doubt that the oliange ot
scenery,air, eto. if only for one week,
is very advantageous to both mind and
body, and the greater the change the
better the improvement.
But in considering atrip of this kind
almost as important a question as
" Where to Go," is "How. to Go"and
up to date travelers who are posted
mostly try to arrange their trips so
that they can do the most part of their
travelling by the Reading System.
The new summer soliedule of the
Koading System, shows a number of
swift, well-equipped Express Trains
leaving at frequent convenient inter
vals, the Reading Terminal, Philadel
phia for the mountains or fertile farm
ing lands of Ooutral Pennsylvania,and
from Chestnut Street or South Street
Ferries for the seashore and points in
Southern New Jersey.
For those unfortunates who are pre
vented by business or home nocessity
from sponding even a week away, the
Reading System offers special con
venient one day trips in'every direc
tion.
Travellers destined to the' White
Mountains or other New England
Points will find the Hourly . Traius to
aud from New York, loaving both
terminals Every Hour—Ou the hour a
special convenience.
Old Timer Keseryes Defeated.
Tho Old Timer Reserves aud the
team from Oatawissa played a very in
teresting game or base ball at De-
Witt's Park ou 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
Oatawissa, sooriug six runs in two in
nings, which gave them a lead which
tho Reserves were unable to over
come.
Bibby of Oatawissa shows rornark
able promise and is regarded as a com
ing pitolier. With the exoeption of
two innings Oatawisa was unable to
solve Welliver's slow curves. Ou the
whole the game was interesting from
start to finish and from the mauy ex
cellent plays made it is plain that in
tho future as in tho past Danville shall
havo a team that will oompare favor
ably with those of any of the sur
rounding towns.
The score was seveu to five in favor
of Oatawissa.
Toe Urußhed.
Lewis H. Gernert, West Mahoning
street, a puddlers' helper at the Read
ing Works, had a toe ot his right foot
very badly orushed ou Saturday morn
ing by a piece of pig iroi* falling up
on it. Dr. Harpul gavo him surgical
attention.
It will be several days before tho
young man will be able to work.
EURIED UNDER
THE WRECK
Harry Harding of Sunhary, formerly
of Dauville was killed in a freight
wreck at Lofty Tuesday morniua.
The unfortunate man left this city
about two years ago and is well kuowu
about Dauville.
The train wrecked is known as the
Pottsvillo Local and left Sunhury
Tuesday morning at 2:15 o'clock, on a
trip to Pottsvillo. Up until 2 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon the railroad offici
als had received only a meagre report
of the wreck, owing to tho accident
on the branch df the Lehigh Valley
railroad running into Pottsvillo. A
telephone message rocoived from Ma
hanoy City states that when the train
was nenring Lofty the air was applied
and due to some cause unknown at
tho present time, six cars were piled
up in a wrecked mass ai;d Brakbinan
Harding was buried uudornoath the
wreckage and instantly killed. An un
known man who was stealing a tide
received fatal injuries and will likely
die.
Tho wreck oraurred ahont B:4fi o'olouk
Tuesday morning. The train was in
chargo of Kugineer William McCloud,
also formorly of Danville, aud Con
ductor J. R. Frederick. It was w' h
considerable difficulty that Hardiurf
body was removed from the wreck.
The unfortunnat.e brakoman had been
in the employ of the Pennsyvlania
Railroad company since April 10,1901,
and was agixl 28 years. A sad incident
in conoction with tho death of Hardiug
is tho tact that he was married about
eight months ago and the profound
sympathy of tho 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, Sunhury. Ho wast» mem
ber of tho Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen and the No. 1 Fire Com
pany. Cf a kind and pleasing dis
position it is with deep regret that
his many friends learn ot his death.
Funeral announcement will be made
later.

We have had our full share of sud

without a moment's warning was
Benjamin Kashner of Cooper town

Ur. Kashner up to about ten o'olock
Friday night was in the best of health.
Daring the day he had beou assisting
to make hay. He was in the best of
spirits when he retired at the hour
above named. A short time afterwards
his wife was aroused by a noise and
she found that her husband was ill
and attempting to vomit. She at once
went to his assistance but failed to
get any reply. He was unconscious
and despite efforts to revive him re
mained in that condition. The family
physician was called but medical skill
proved unavailing aud the striaken
man passed quietly away bofore mid
night. The oause of death was apo
plexy.
Benjamin Kaßhuer was fifty-four
years of age. He was a life-loug resi

DISCOYBBBD IN
THfi NICK OF TIIE
A fire broke oat in the rear of J. F.
Tooley's store Tueaday about II
o'clock, whioh was discovered jail lu
the nlok of time to prevent innoh de
struction.
The fire, it was said, was communi
oated to the building by a spark from
some waste paper that was burned
near. When disooverad the blase had
orept up the side of the bam and the
roof was on fire.
An alarm was sent in, and both the
Friendship aud Continental Compan
ies quiokly responded. By that time,
however, the fire waa practically ex
tinguished by a Stemple Fire Extin
guisher aided by a bnoket brigade.
The barn is situated near a nest ef old
wooden structures and all together ou
der the drought prevailing the build
ings were as dry as tinder. AH that was
needed was a brisk wind to have giv
en the fire a headway whioh would
have baffled all attempts to extinguish
it without heavy loss.
On Monday night a fire broke oat on
Lower Molbeiry street between the
residences of Dr. Block and Joseph
Jones, whioh was also discovered just
In time to prevent more or less des
truction. The fire is supposed to have
originated from a sky rocket.
Wiieu discovered the feooe was on
fire, the gate being nearly oonsumed.
A vessel containing water was sitting
near, this Dr. Stock threw on the fire,
after whioh he quickly connected the
garden hose aud played upon the blaze,
which was extinguished without the
aid of the fire department. Both houses
were exposed to great danger.
Pore Food agents caused the arrest
of all bat a few of the botchers in
Ashland. They paid fines, one being
compelled to "ooagh up" S9O.
