TROLLEY LINE
CONNECTIONS
The report that a trolley line Is to
b* built from Danville to Sunbury is
important, it true. It would he an ex
tension of the line that is being con
•trooted between Bloomsburganri Dan
ville, and would furnish a connection
with lines that extend to different lo
calities on the North Branch. The
partios who have thlH enterprise in
hand, and have beeu lncori>orated a?
!be Danville and Sunbury Trolley
Company, are in a largo measure un
known in this place. It is to be re
gretted that Suubury enterprise in uot
connected with it, as such connection
wonld be more advantageous to Sun
bary interests. However, wo need
more trolley communication witli oth
er parti of the country, and if we get
it we need not be particular as to who
tarnishes it.
The much talked of line to Shamok
in seems to bo in a state ot suspen
sion. From present appearances it is
hard to tell whether its alleged pro
moters mean business or not. The
western end of it would run through
> country whloh does most of its busi
ness in Sunbury, aud a trolley line
wonld make its business connection
with our oity still oloser. It is not
improbable that the line extending
down the West Branch, from Watson
town to Lewisburg, will at 110 remote
data be oonneeted with the Suubury
and Northumberland electrio road.
With the North Branch, the West
Branch and the Shamokiu lines eon
verging here our city would be as
mooh of a central point for trolley
lines as it iB for railroads.—Sunbury

ENGLAND ENTERS
HER PROTEST
LONDON, July 27.-The British
government ia sendiug instructions to
Sir Charles Hardinge the British am
bassador to Rossia,today to energetic
ally protest against the sinking ot the
British steamer Knight Commander by
tlie Russian Vladivostok squadron.
Until the presentation of tho note to
the Russian government the greatest
aeoreoy will be maintained regarding
its oontents, but it ia known that Pre
mier Balfour and his colleagues have
deoided to demand that the fullest re
paration shall be made by Russia, or
measures will be taken to follow up
tba diplomatic demands.
The British note, as Sir Oharlns
Hardinge will submit it, will not men
tion the amount of indomnity Russia
mast pay the owners of tho ship and
British subjects having goods on board
the.vessel, but all that will bo snoght
will be the establishment of the prin
ciple of indemnity and apology. A
salute of the British flag must also be
oonoeded and the future protection of
neatral shipping assured.
Tlie attitude of the British govern
ment is tho result ot the thorough con
sideration glveu to the reports receiv
ed from Sir Claude MacDouald, the
British minister at Tokio, and the ex
amination of international law author
Itle* by legal experts. The despatches
from Sir Claude Mao Donald coulirm
the reports that the Knight Command
•r had no contraband of war on board
for Japan. The government and all
the British authorities, it is asserted,
unite on the point that there was no
justification for the sinking of the
vesael. It 1b felt In government oircles
that the Knight Commander incident
overshadows the Red Sea seizures,
whloh practically have been adjusted,
bnt which have failed to settle the
question of the rights of neutral com
merce.

Greek that were destroyed by the re

Board of Publio Buildings and Grounds
•t their meeting In Harrisburg next
Tueoday, at which time they will also
raoeive bids for the rebuilding of other
bridges. The prospects for the re
building of these bridges In the near
future are now very bright and the
outoome of this meetiug will be eager

Krom the firnt of November to the
first of May the market in held on the
West Hide of Mill Htreot, running from
Mahoning to Centre utreet. Section
6 of the Market Ordinance also states
that no market wagon or othor vehicle
Hliall bo permitted to occupy the street
in any other portion than by beiug
backed up to the corb-Htono.
No dofinite place has beeu settled
on, different theories for its removal
being advanced from time to time.
Many people think that Ferry street
would be the most convenient thorough
faro for the market. Others again fav
or the erection of a market house to
be located at a oentral point.
That the market must be moved is
now a certainty. The width of Mill
street will hardly permit of a market
being held there after the trolley line
is in operation.
PROFESSIONAL FOR
ESTER AT WORK
Daniel Knauf, a professional forest
er, lias a foroe of men working on some
of tho handsome shade treos on Bloom
street. This is an iudustry popular
enough in our larger cities and towns,
but one which is quite new to most of
our people.
The professional forester not only
trims the trees very artistically,adding
much to their beauty but he also pro
longs their life by scraping off the
rough and rotten bark aud fiuding
where the borers and Saugo soales are
hidden. In coucfusion the tree is
dressed with au oil wash, which ef
fectually kills the borers and insects
of all kiuds and preserves tho bark.
Yestorday Mr. Knauf with his men
were at work ou the shade trees in
front of I. X. Grier's residence.
Amoug others whose trees have beeu
treated are J. H. Cleaver and O. P.
Hancock. The work shows up to ex
cellent advantage aud Mr. Knauf will
no doubt And plenty to do in Dan
ville.
Beware of Ptomaines.
This muggy, damp woather of mid-
Nummitr produces an ideal condition
for the ilevolopmenfc of the various
forms of ]>tomaine poisons. It is this
Reason that the family turn to the ice
box dainties for luncheon and suppers,
and the ice box is the home of the
ptomaine. It is producod by the break
ing up of the proteid mole-cult* in the
albumens and meats of tho larder as a
result of bacterial growths. Uudor
some conditions, the action of these
germs may make only of flavor and
give a zest to the palate, while uudor
others they cause a decomposition in
meats, milk and oheeso which produce
tho deadly poison. On a microscopic
but almost as dangerous scale it is the
old question whether the fungus pick
ed up in the field is a mushroom or a
toadstool.
Dr. L. L. Van Slyke, chemist at the
Stato Experiment Station, describes
accurately the tasto of ptomaine poi
son. He says that it has a peculiar
benumbing taste on the tongue which
is peculiar to this form of poison. "I
was present," said Dr. Van Slyke,
"when this poisou was first separated
20 years ago by Dr. V. C. Vaughn,
Profossor of Physiological Chemistry
at the University of Michigau. He
separatod tho substauoe from some in
fected cheese and called me into his
laboratory. On this suggestion I sam
pled a drop of the solution,and I nover
have forgotten the peculiar taste. It
has often served me in deteoting pto
maine poisoniug in samples of cheese
that have beau sent to the station.
Often they send a sample of choose
which has caused the poisoniug of one
or more persons, but the sample is too
small to get a test for tho poison with
chemical reagents. In these cases I
have often beeu able to detect the poi
sou by taste.
"The particular variety of ptomaine
which is fouud in dairy products,
cheese and milk,is called tyrotoxioon.
This form of the poison frequently de
velops and strikes a community like a
pestilence. Ice cream is a favorite pro
duct in which to find tyrotoxicoii. It
is also frequently found in meats and
oysters. At this time of tho year it
often devolops iu dark, olose places
and has its origin iu dirt and filch.
Cleanliness is the best preventative
of this dreaded poisou. To be reason
ably safe, keep the ioe box clean. Scald
it out at least onoe a week and let it
air. Do not eat food that shows mold.
If the sense of smell is offended,
through the food, out with it to the
garbage can. Heed promptly a warn
ing from your palate. The souses may
not always be rolied upon to protect
you, but they will go a good way to
waid warning you against the presence
of tyrotoxicoii or the other forms of
ptomaine."

that not onlv does the State do noth

An armory at thin time iu Danville

HICKS' AUGUST
FORECAST
Tim storm diagram shows that tho
firnt six days of August are covered by
Mm combined disturbances of "Vul
can, Mercury and Mars." Tim regular
Vulcan storm period is central on tlio
Jlrd. Thn culminating days of the
period will bo the Brd, 4th and sth.
On and touching these dates general
storm conditions will develop and pass
from went to east across tho country.
Thn moon will he at New, or in con
junction with Earth and Sun, on the
lltli,in perigee or nearest the Sun, on
the 12th, and on tho celestial equator
on the 14th, the central day of a reg
ular storm period. This period is also
embraced in the on-coming Venos dis
turbance, which is central on the 24th.
Indications of equatorial disturb
ances should be looked for, the culm
ination falling most likely on the 14th
aud 15th. Vicious thunder storms and
high gales will centor about Sunday
tho 14th. Reactionary storm condi
tions will return ou aud next to the
19th and 20th. The last regular storm
period for August is central on the
2(>th, extending from the 24th to the
20th. Within this period the Moon is
at full on the 25th, is apogee on the
26th, and on the celestial equator on
the 28th. This period is also at the
center of the Venus perturbation, and
fully under the pressure of the Earth's
September equinox. Wo may thorefore
confidently anticipate some very mark
ed storm disturbances at this time.

bo criminally responsible for the rail
wav disaster at Ulenwood, Ills., July
13, in which oightoen persons were
killed and many injured. This verdict
holds to the grand jury a train de
spatoher and the entire crew of the
freight train that blocked the track
and caused the wreck. Four of the
accused have already been arrested
while the fifth,the engineor, is a fugi

The National Guard.
The Pennsylvania division of the
National Guard bogan its annual en
| campment at Gettysburg Saturday,un

laudable. Under such circumstances
tho weok in camp ought to bo ono of
pleasure and profit.
These encampments of the National
Guard ara schools in citizenship. They
not only train men in military tact ics
and maneuvers, but they teach them
lessons in discipline and rostraint
which are as useful in oivil life as in
military service. Every citizen of
Pennsylvania sound in body and mind
will be improvod by servioo in the
Guard and it is the duty of every
citizen to give such service as will fit
him in case of emergency to make
valiant and effective defence of his
couury. The annual encampments ot
the National Guard mako for this re

the railroad men's organization. The
sentiment is against a strike at the
present time.
A BRICK AND
A COINCIDENCE
Some workmen repairing the wate
conductors at tile roof of the Opera
House discovered a brick laid in the
topmost course on which is graven the
name of "Hugh Ourry." The name
was placed there before the brick was
burned aud therefore represents a date
prior to the building of the Opera
House, early in the '7o's of the last
century.
The name was inscribed on the brick
by Hugh Ourry himself long before lie
entered upon his newspaper career in
Brooklyn when as a hoy ho WUH em
ployed in the brick yard bolow town.
Mr. Ourry remembers inscribing his
name on the brick, as ho (lid so with
the full knowledge that the brick was
to be usod in completing the walls of
the Opera House, that fiuo old struc
ture which.in its day reflected so much
enterprise on the part of our town.
The object of the boy was accom
plished,as after the lapse of nearly two
Booro years the brick very unexpected
ly brought bis name to mind. It is a
curious coincidence that the brick was
found by the workmen 011 Monday last,
the very da 7 that Mr. Ourry arrived
in town from Brooklyn to spend his
summer vacation amid the scenes of
his boyhood.

RIVER GLAUS
ANOTHER VICTIM
Uwrentio Drum, aged at) years, a
son of Daniel Drum of Kranklin town
ship, Cnlnmhln county, was drowned
In the Susquehanna rirer near Oata
wisaa Sunday afternoon at !l-.30
o'clock.
Drum, with fonr companions, was
wailing from shore toward the middle
ol the stream Tlio young men were
unable to swim and Drain, who was
in the lead, stopped from a rock into
ten feet of water and sank immediate
l.v. His companions helpless and dumb
with fright were unable to help him
and bo drowned before assistance
could reach him.
The body was recovered by <'marge
Reese, Sherman Miller and Ucorge
Oosteubauder, three expert swimmers
and divers, forty-live minutes after
the accident occurred. The fact being
apparent that the drowning was the
result of an accident no inquest was
deemed necessary,
Mr. Dram was a young man nf ex
emplary habits and was highly esteem
ed by all who knew him. The sad
news proved a great shock to the com
munity in which lie resided.
(loping- Placed on Onlvert,
Contractor D. J. Hogers yesterday

two feet in width and present* a neat
extorior.
The iron railing formerly in use on
the canal bridges will be placed on
top of the coping, the completion of
which will finish all work under Mr.
