VanDoran, representative of thu Electrical Manufacturing Company, « hich has the ooutraot for iiistalliii).' the Borough Eleotrio Light ing pi 11 t here, was in this city yester day morning. During an interview be gave a lull desciiptiou of the system to be iustalled along with other in formation rolatiug to it Just now very timely aud of great iuterest to our readers. As the present contract for lighting the Boroogh, hold by the Standard Eleotric Light Company, expires 011 November Ist, it is realized that evory moment of time slionld be utilized. Air. VanDoran says that the contract or with experts will be 011 hand early next week along with much of the material in the form of wire, cross arms for poles, etc. Our streets are already well blocker! with telephone, telegraph aud electric light poles and in iustalliug the new system it will be the aim to got along without ereoting many now poles. An agreement will probably bo entered into with the Standard Electric Light Oompauy by which for a consideration the Borough will be permitted to era ploy as far as praotioable that oora. pany's poles, using separate cross arms. At placeß of oourse the ereotiou of new poles will be unavoidable, as the system to be installed increases the number of arc lamps from 71 to 83 besides raising the light to 3000 candle power. Twenty-four incaudosoeut lamps will also be installed, taking the place of aro lights in alleys and similar places where brilliant light is not needed. The principal part o( the work will consist iu getting the wires 011 the streets. Henoe the necessity of begin ning uext week or at the earliest pos sible date. While this part of the work is iu progress tlio engine aud dynamo will he oouipleted and ship ped to Danville. The first stop taken uext weok will be to locate tho poles where uow ones are required and to secure tho right o( way over poles uow stauding. The bollors at tho Wator Works have beeu inspected and are considered eafo to oarry from eighty-five pounds to a Ituudred pounds of sleam, whioli is ample for tho electriu light plant. Everythiug in in readiuess for install ing eugiuo and dynamo with the ex ception of a foundation, whioli oau be constructed with little labor aud ex pense. The Committee on Elootrio Light has taken great pains to thoroughly investigate the various systems for electrio lighting and have purohasod one of the most modem and efficient types of apparatus on tho market—The Warren Alternator—of one phase,sixty cyolos and of sufficient voltage to run both arc aud iucaudesoeut lights from the same dynamo, thereby doing away with the old style methods of opera tion, where separate dynamos were roquirod. This highly improved dynamo hav ing no moving wire, commutator or brushes, not only increases the effici ency, but simplillos the system aud proteots tho city from burning out by lightning as frequently occurs with many other systems. This dynamo will be safe iu the hands of an ordin ary|mechanlo, the services of an ex pert not being needed. At the Water Works whore tho dynamo will be stationed there will be switchboards aud controlling de vices for automatically regulating the lights,wliioh will he divided into four circuits, so that should the lights go out ou one the other throe will be iu operation. Surveying for the Ourb Line, Now that tho paving proposition has carried Engineer Keefer yesterday be gan the survey of Mill street to de termine tlio location of the curbing that is to aocouipany the paved street. The resetting of the cutbiug will necessitate tho relocation of many of the tolograph aud other poles that stand on that thoroughfare. 'the polos when the stroet is paved all must stand inside the curbing at inches baok and be ill por feot lino. The Immediate survey was necessary in order to enable tho Dan ville aud Bloomsburg Electric Rail road Company to proceed with the er ection ot its poles, whioli form no ex ception and must bo plaoed inside the ourb. The trolley oompany was do sirious of proceeding with the setting of polos last week but was held up by the unsettled state of affairs whioli pteooded the eleotion.

Pleasure Trip's Bad Beginning. Edward Hofer and Charles Hullihen, who hired a horse and buggy at Frey's livery Saturday evening aud started to take a drive to Northumberland, met with an accident iu which both narrowly escaped serious injury. Mr. Hofer iu describing the accid ent says that they were just starting and were in the act of driving out of the livery when the wheel caught in the large door, which moves on rollers, lifting it from Its support and oausing it to fall ovor upon thoiu. Both young mon wore thrown out of the buggy. Tho heavy door landed on Mr. Hofer's log inflioting a bruise, while his companion in attempting to jump came down upon his head and sustained slight iojury. The horse ran away and near the D. L. & W. track upset the buggy,break ing an axle. Fortunately at this junc ture the animal was caught. RAILROAD CUT TROLLEY WIRES Hostilities were opeued Tuesday between the P. & R. Railway Oom pauy and the Dauville and Bloomsburg Electric Railroad Oompauy over the question of crossing the former's tracks 011 Bloom street. The aggressive blow was struck by the P. &R. Company, wliioli cut the trolley wire that had been stretched across the traok. Bloom street was the center of in terest during the entire day. The trol ley orew employed on the overhead work Tuesday appeared on the ground early in the morning and began the work of stretohlng the large copper or trolley wire; wires intending for its support were already iu posi tion, having been stretched from pole to pole the day before. The operatiou was watched by a large orowd of peo ple. Two truoks fitting the trolley track aud moved alternately by a team of horses were employed iu the work,one ooutainiug a large reel of copper wire, wliioli was kept slightly iu advance, and the otlior supporting a high framo work pyramidal in form on which a workman stood to fasten the copper wire to the oross wires as fast as it was unreeled. The work progressed rapidly and by noou the wire was stretched as far as the Grove Presbytorian Church. It was about one o'olock that the work was brought summarily to a standstill by the outting of the wire. The first intimation the bystandors had that the railroad company intoiid ed to act was when the work train, to which was attached a high box car ran down from the station and stop ped upon the crossing. Further de velopments followed in Bliort meter. Two mou armed with tools inonnted the house car. The wire was still above their heads and while one held a largo ohisol in position the other dex terously wleldod a sledge and in no timo the wiro was cnt In two and dropped to the ground on each side of the train. After cutting the wiie the train moved to a position just north of tho orossing where it remained for nearly two hours. After being cut tho wiro dropped to the ground betwoen each of the oross wires, extending up and down the street 111 graceful festoons. Later the wiro above the railroad was temporari ly fastened just above tho orossing and the work of stretohiug resumed east ward. It was soon after this that the oonstruotion train withdrew entering a siding uoar the station. The railroad employes say tli.it the trolley wire was only twenty feot above tho orossing. The foreman of the trolley crew which plaoed it in posi tion, however, declared yesterday that the wire was 22 feet and 3 inches above the crossing. Later it was learned, however, that the question of height had little to do with it, hut that the railroad company objeets to the trolley crossing its tracks on grade aud is resisting it on general princi ples. H. A. Litz's Patent Flooring. H. A. Litz of Zurich, Switzerland, who is visitiiiK M« brother,Oail Litz, in tliia city, is an inventor of ropnta tiou. His latest achievement in a patent flooring, thoroughly covered by pot ent.whioli is ready to be put npon the market. Oarl Litz of this oity has be ooroe half owner with his brother in the invention and the two mon are casting about for a place to manufact ure the flooring. The flooring in a general way may be said !o resemble mosaic work and is made np of small blooks of wood with the grain extending upwards. The features about it strikingly new aro the method of nailing, the sawing and the tools devised for doing tl.e work and these along with tlio finish ed prodnot all are patented. Tho blocks of wood are highly polish ed, of any shape or color desirable, so that any piotore or design is easily workad in the surfaoo, which id as suitablo for tables, counters, etc., as for flooring. It is designed also for waiusooting and even for walls and oeiliug and where used as flooring is intended to take the place.of carpet. Specimens of the work were examin ed yesterday by members of tiie local Board of Trade aud they unhesitating ly pronounce it one of the most prom ising inventions of the day. The matter will be brought to the atten tion of the Board of Trade at its next meeting and someaotion will no doubt be taken to secure the new industry for Danville. The Oity of Reading wants to manufacture the now floor ing, but all things being equal the in ventors will prefer Danville. Railroad House Ohanges Hands. The several properties belonging lo the Rieck estate were disposed of at Orphan's Oourtsale yesterday. Tho hotel property on D. L. & SV. avenue was knooked down to H. R. Uanetto of Emporium for $1,705. Lot No. 3, adjoining the hotel con taining fiauie dwelling houso was pur chased by Joseph Smith for $l5O. Joseph Smith also purchased the double brick dwelling on Lower Mnl borry street and the vacant lot on the same thoroughfare. The price paid for tho brick dwelling was |8!I5 and for the vacant lot |2OO. Mr. Manette, the purchaser of tho hotel, slated tliat he inteuils to im prove the hostelry and take charge of the place himself. TWENTY ITALIANS ARE EMPLOYE!) Work on tho Mausdale road, wliioli is to be built under the Act ot April 16, 1903, after several delays was be gun yesterday moruing. A certain number of lahorors living in Danvillo ami vicinity applied for work but as explained yesterday moru ing it did not result in any being orn ployod. Charles Battaglia with his Italians cunio to the roscno, howevor, and yesterday morning about tweuty of his men were put to work. Thoy came down to this citv ou Monday evening and domioiled themselves in a vacant houso near tho Fair Ground. | A four-horse toani, belonging to W. (A. Shopperson, waN employed yester day iu addition to the scoro of Ital ians. The team wan attached to the road plow, which did fairly good ex ecution in rippiug up the hard road bod. The Italians were pat to work with their picks at the Borough line about sixty rods west of the P. & B. Bailway crossing, the plow being em ployed at a point farther westward. The old roadbed daring its long his tory has been repaired in many differ ent ways under the direction of many different heads, system or soience en tering but little into its construction. Digging is vory hard. Whore the mud dy spots occurred or deep ruts were worn the country supervisors merely dumped large stouo or chunks of cin der iu by the wagon load. It required bat a little digging yesterday to roveal to tho contractor what he was up against. Iron stone had boen mainly used iu the road and many ot these dug up wore of ponderous size. The mou with the picks at most placos wore unable to make much progross. Tho digging affects a spaco only eighteen feet in width, which loaves a nice drive alongside of the road sntlioiont to accommodate all the travel. A now bottom will liavo to bo prepared along the entire distance, making it uocessary to dig up the old road bod at evory point for a spaoe eighteen feet wide. On finishing up, however, the road on each side of the macadam will have to be filled up and graded by the contractor for a space of four feet. Qame of Uase Ball. Tliore was an interesting game of base hall at tho Nail Works grounds Saturday afternoon betn'oeu the Dan ville Beserves and the employes of Bempe's Olook faotory. It was the first game of the season for the Clock faotory employes, who lost the gamo, tho score being 14 to 3 in favor of the Beserves. The wide margin by whioh the game was lost is explained away on tho ground that the Olook factory boys tackled tho game without ad equate practice. Peters for tho Beserves made a good two baso hit and a three base hit. Johnson for the factory boys pitched a good game, but his support 011 the whole was not of a sort to win. The two teams liuod up as follows: Beserves—Barber c., Peters p., Drei fuss lb., Pritohard 2b.,and ss.,Kussell ss., and 2b.,Lee 3b., Anderson lf.,GHl laspy of., Christian rf. Employes—Baylor 0., Johuson p., Baver lb., Trumbower 2b., Foust ss., Dagan 3b., Kaso If., Ortli 2b., Oohn rr. The field at tho Nail Works has be come a poi ular buttle ground for con tending local clubs. There is not a woek but two or throe games aro pull ed off there, eaali of which is witness ed by a good-sized crowd. Taken IU at Washingtouville. Charles Campbell employed at John Bisenhart's meat market was taken very seriously ill of cramp at Wash ingtouville yesterday. He was on business for Mr. Eisenhart and was aucompanied by his son Itobert.

A vory nico improvement has boon comploted at Shiloh Hoforuiod Church, Bloom street, in the form of a hand some new stone pavement, about a hundred feet in length, which takes iu both the chbrch and parsonage. Tho pavement was laid by T. ti. Evans 1 sons and is a flue piece of work. The gottor accompanying it was cob bled by William Ward and also shows up very nicely. Tho stone, which mado up the old pavement, liavo all beon utilized in laying uow walks about tho church and parsonage. Visitors at Billmeyer's Park. Billmeyer's Park at Washingtou ville, as usual,this summer is attract ing an immense number, of visitors, who feel an interest ill the fine game preserve. There is not a day in the wtek but strangers visit the spot. It is ou Sunday, howevor, that tho big rush occurs and Sunday it wonld seem tho high wator mark was record ed, when no less than three hundred poople visited the spot. WnshingtoiiTillo affords a delightful drive not only from Danville, bat al so from Milton, Bloomsburg and a number of othor smaller placos. A drive through the country was novor more attractive than at present, while Billmeyer's Park never appeared more beautiful. BOROUGH DEBT TO BE INCREASED The special election rendered neoes sary in order to legalize the inorease of indebtedness incidental to entering upon a system of improvements in the Borough, whioh was held Tuesday, resulted in a very large majority in favor of increase of indebtedness. The improvements of street paving and municipal light will accordingly be taken up as contemplated. As indicat ed by the rosult the opposition was not at all marked. The vote polled in most of the wards was little more than half of what is polled at many of the regular elections; nevertheless there- Bult Toes night seemed to meet with very general approval upon the street. Iu the First and Third Warda.where the largest vote was polled, at several times during the day voting was quite brisk. At eaoh of the Wards -very thiug was very orderly aud quiet. The voters were generally very free to ex press themselves on the merits of tho questions involved and to the observ ing person it was nowhere much in doubt aB to how the election was go ing. It was not long after seven o'olook, the hour of closing the polls, when the outcome at each of the Wards was known. Tho result throughout the Bor ough stood as fallows; First Ward—ln favor of inorease of indebtedness 2110; opposed, 85. Second Ward—ln favor of increase of indebtedness, 130 ; opposed, SO. Third Ward—ln favor of inorease of indebtedness, 280; opposed, 3SI. Fourth Ward—ln favor of inoreaie, 144; opposed, 19.

Walnut and Bloom streets aboot 11 o'clook Monday forenoon. U. P. Soott and Clyde Dyer,two at taches of Oastle Grove, were driving out of town with two spirited horses, a blaok and a bay, attached to a plat form spring wagon. At the above point the blaok horse became restive. He refused to move forward and be gan to rear. While standing nearly ereot he fell over baokwards causing the wagon to upset; as lie struck tho ground the other horse jumped astride his prostrate body, while the wagon lauded on top .of both. The two men, in the wagon eaoaped injury by jumping. Ur. Soott landed upon his feet, but his oompanion was less fortunate and was thrown violent ly to the gronnd. Mr. Soott in order to help the horses flew to the head of one and was soon in the midst of the mix-np. His position waß one of grave danger and the speotaole of man. wag on and strugnling horses all in one heap was quite thrilling. In a few minutes there was a big orowd present who willingly took hold to remove the wagon and help the horse upon his feet. In a short time the animal was free to arise, but for some time lie oould not be induced to make the attempt and lay as if utter ly helpless. When things were finally straighten ed out it was found that the wagon tongue was broken off and the vehiole otherwise damaged. One of the horses had a cut on the front foot,whloh bled profusely but so far as could be deter mined neither of the animals was bad ly hurt. Orange festival.

All That Hangs Over. Some people seem to be slow to learn that all of a tree and all the frnit it bears over on another lot belongs to the man over the line just as complete ly as if the tree stood over on his laud. This is not only statute law of every state,but it is just and right. All that extends over the line, root aud top, belongs to the man that owns the land. He may, if he ohooßes, cut away all the roots that extend through on his land. From time immemorial this haa been the law. All reasonable men oan see the import of it and will approve of the law. Next Oonrt. There is but one prisoner in the Coonty Jail and he is awaitiug trial. At no time during several months past has the number of prisoners exoeoded two or three.

A fire broke oat in Wnsliingtonvllle yesterday,wliioh was discovered in the nick of time to prevent a conflagra tion which might have wiped ont a considerable portion of the town. ; The fire ooonrred on the roof of the blacksmith shop conneoted with the wheelwright shop condooted by Bur gess Heacook and evidently originat ed from some sparks whioh fell from the chimney. When discovered the fire had gained considerable headway. There was instantly the wildest alarm, as not only is Washingtonville without any firo fighting appllanoei, bnt the blaze was situated in a large frame building that stands near other buildings equally inflammable com municating in turn with the prinoipal street of the town. In an inoredibly short period of time a backet brigade was formed in which citizens irrespective of age or sex took part. Water was brought from the oreek and from the pumps near by, while O. H. Seidel mounted the roof receiving the water and pouring it where it would do the most good. In a short timeaftei the brigade got down to work the blaze was extinguished. It was the general opinion that but for the timely disoovery and prompt work a great loss of property would have ensned. Little Work for the Miners Before Sept ember Ist. Although anthracite operators re fuse to confirm the statement, it was said that few,if any mines will be op erated more than ten dayß this month. Every mine in the region was olosed Monday for the week,and a large foroe of trainmen on the Reading, the Le high Valley, the Lackawanna,the Brie, the Delaware and Hudson, the New York, Ontario and Western and other smaller hard-ooal-cnrrviug railroads wore laid off for an indefinite period. By the suspensi.u, the shipments of coal will be greatly reduced and hun dreds of mon engaged in handling the ooal through the tide water points have been temporarily laid off. One officer of an operating oompany charit ably said that this was done so that the men might enjoy a vaoation. An other said the shut-down was neoes sary to steady the market, lit Is esti mated that more thpn 200,000 men in this State are compelled to be idle, and there is little hope that they will get mnoh work for the next thirty days. There are Bfil anthracite mines in the State, situated in the following districts: Oarbondale, SB; Soranton, 44; Pittston, 88 ; Wilkesbarre, 86; Ply mouth, 94; Green Mountain,4; Hazle ton,lb: Black Oreek, 19; Beaver Mead ow, 10; East Mahanoy, 15; West Ma hauoy, 48; Shamokin, 91; Panther Oreek, 9; East Schuylkill, 19; West Schuylkill, 17; Lorberry, 2, and Lyk ens Valley, 8 .These are situated on the Readiug, the Lehigh Valley, the Lackawanna, the Delaware and their affiliated lines. To get the ooal iu storage as quiok ly as possible last week the railroads ran extra trains from the mines to tidewater storage points, and yester day more thau 50,000 trainmen in this state were laid off. They were not dropped from the rolls of the company which employed them, bnt all were given to nnderstand that when they are needed they will be notified. This will be at the will of the railroad companies and may not be until after September 1, The board of Conciliation will meet this week, and it is thought that all differences will bo settled. If this is done it is probable that the mines will resnme not later than September 1, when the winter sohednle of prioes ii effective. He Lives to Tell. A yonng son of Rev. Franklin H. Schlegel, of Shamokin, had an excit ing experience at Buffalo. N. Y., a few days ago, and one wlilch he will never forget. That he lives to tell the tale is remarkable. At present Urs. Schlegel and her three children are visiting at the home of her father, F. J. Kehler.at Buffalo. A short distanoe from the home is a siding of the New York Central Rail road, leading to the stook yards, over whioh an immense amount of freight is moved. Franklin, and an elder brother, Wilhelm, were playing with some other children near this siding, when a stone rolled under a train of fifteen cars. Franklin, with no regard to danger, orawled after it, and when under the train, it started. Fortunately he had the presence of mind to lie perfeotly still in the centre of the traok, and thus esoaped being ground to death. Beyond a few scratch es and a slight scalp wound, the boy esoaped injury. Will La; Stone Pavement. John R. Hughes, proprietor of the Nicholas Avenue marble and granite works, is preparing to lay a fine stone pavement in front of his reaidenoe on Bloom street. To make room for the improvement he has removed the two large trees whioh stood along the side walk. These have not only been saw ed off, but the stumps have been dog out by the roots. The trees were large ones and the task of getting them en tirely out of the way proved no easy one. Campaign managers are preparing for a short, sharp and decisive politic al battle.
