REVISITING HIS
JARLY HOME
Hiram Bright of Benton County, In
diana, a native of Montour County, is
visiting old friends in thiH section af
ter many year's absence. Mr. Bright,
who is a brother of our townsman,
Dennis Bright, WHB born ou tho home
stead farm noar Mausdale and grew to
manhood in this vicinity.
In 1857, wlion still a young man, he
went west and of him it may bo said
literally that lie "grow up with the
country." At the day of his emigra
tion all that section of tho oouulry
was still an unbroken prairie devoted
to grazing. He has lived to witness
all the various stagos of devolopmeut
following the days when tho first set
tlers began to ponr in. Today instead
of the illimitablo prairie there is a suc
cession of flourishing farms and towns.
Mr. Bright himself is a prosperous
farmer and stock raiser.
During his boyhood Mr. Bright at
tended school in Danville among his
companions being a number of our lead
ing citizens who still survive. Many
changes have occurred sinco lie left
this section. Maus' furnace, the Oliu
laskey furnace and many other old in
dustries scaroely ever head of at tho
present day, wore running and doing
a good business when he was about
Danville.
Mr. Bright, who has become ac
onstomed to Western enterprise, does
not think that Danville has kept pace
with the general development of the
country even if its conrse in certain
periods did not seem to be backwards.
He is glad, however, to learn that a
policy of improvements has been ad
opted and he welcomes the now era
that seems about to dawn ou his na
tive town.

Light Plant Will Need 400 Poles.
E. 1. Van Dorau, representative of
Rumsey Electrioal Manufacturing
Company, which is getting ready to
install an electric lighting plant in
this city, left Dauville Monday tore
noon and will return today.
It has been ascertained that the
municipal light plant will need (our
hundred poles to accommodate its ser
vice. It is hoped that nothing like
this number will iiave to be erected in
the Borough considering the number
of polos that are already maintained
upon our streets. Every effort will bo
made to gain consent of the telephone
and other companies to use thuir poles.
It was ascertained yesterday that
there are no less than six different
companies maintaining poles upon our
streets; these are as follows: The
Standard Electric Light Company,
United Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, Western Union Telegraph Com
pany. American Telogiaph and Tele
phone Company, Philadelphia and
Reading, Pottsville Telegraph Com
pany and Pennsylvania Telegraph
Company. Correspondence yosterday
was opened with each of the above
conoerns to see how they would re
gard a proposition to utilize their
poles in installing a municipal light
ing plant. Replies are expected by
Thursday,the date of Mr. Van Dorau's
return to Danville, after which work
on the new system will bo in shape to
ptooeed.
Constables aud Canada Thistles.
Canada thistles just now aro giving
Constable Youug of tho First Ward
considerable trouble. Of all the un
sightly, useless and injurious weeds
known tho Cauailt thistle is consider
ed the worst and the government is
determined it shall not be porniitted
to thrive. The law makes it a part of
the Constables' duties to see to it that
the thistles are destroyod.
There are many places in the First
Ward as woll as in othor parts of
town, moßtly vacant lots, where Can
ada thistles grow in rank profusion.
The constable lias already porformed
a part of his duty by notifying the
owners of such lots that the wends are
growing and that they must be de
stroyed.
In very few instances have the thistles
been out down aud the tune is now
drawing nigh when the constable will
have to take tho next step in the per
formance of his duty, which will he
to employ men and have the weeds de
stroyed at tho ownor's expense.
Taken to the Hospital,
Frank Kthridge, roller at the Read
ing Iron Works, who has been in
disposed for some days past, was re
moved to Reading yesterday, where his
home is situated. He has developed
symptoms of typhoid fevoraud will bo
takeu to the hospital in that city. He
was accompanied to Reading by his
brother, who arrived in Danville Tues
day evening.
CITIZENS MEETING
ATJIVERSIDB
A ciiti/ens' meeting wan hclrt in tlie
Borough of Riverside Thursday night
toconsider the rival claims of tho Dan
ville anil Bloomsburg Elootrie Rail
road Company and the Danvillo and
Sunbury Street Railway Company,
liot.li of which desiro to build their
linen on tho streets of that borough.
The mooting was held in tho first floor
of the public school building, which
was well filled with representative
citizens. In the assemblage were W.
F. Pascoe, P. O. Angle, Esq., Calvin
E. Amor and otliors representing the
Danville and Bloomsburg lino and O.
O. Vetter, W. A. Heller, and O. P.
Hancock, olticials of tho Danville and
Sunbury St(;eot Railway.
Tho meeting was callod to ordor by
W. W. Kimbel, president of the Bor
ough Council. Dr. A. T. DeWitt was
oliosen Chairman and John Hinckley,
Esq , Secretary.
The object of tho meeting lining stat
ed romarlis wero invited,tho chairman
explaining that tho people of Rivor
side want a trolloy and the only point
on which there might hinge any ques
tion was wliioh of the two companies
applying might give the best service
and build its liue first.
O. 0. Yetter spoke relating to the
road he represents, explaining that a
oharter was obtained on July 14th and
giving an outline ot tho route, which
leads from the Hospital for tlie In
sane,down East Market street to Mill,
tlienoe to tho river bridge, through
South Danville to the borough of Riv
erside, through the Borough to Do-
Witt's Park, beyond which point it
will proceed to Sunbury. The right
of way through tho township, lie de
clared, had been well taken care of
and that what was desired now was
that the right of way be granted
through the Borough. His company
is anxious to begin the construction of
the line this fall and he stated that if
the right of way was granted now
" the picks would go into the ground
beforo tho middle of next woek." His
company had an ordinance prepared
and it was present at the meeting. Ho
was willing to r?ad it, lie said, but
would do so onlv on condition that
the Danville and Bloomsbnrg Company
would submit its ordinance at tho same
time.
Councilman Kimbel approved of
roadiug the ordinances, if both com
panies were prepared, as ho said, by
that means, tho citizens could hear
what each had to offer what streets were
desired, etc. ; this would afford plenty
of time for discussion so that Council
at its next meeting could take action
in conformity with public opinion.
Mr. Pascoe speaking for the Danvillo
and Bloomsburg liue explained, that
having the nature of the meetiug in
mind ho had not thought it necessary
to bring the ordinance along. He as
sured the citizens, however, that the
ordinance would be fair in every re
spect and would please everyone.
Under tho circumstances neither or
dinance was read.
Charles Chalfant, Esq., made an
oloquent address dwelling upon tho
benefits of stenm and trolley roads and
tho part they played iu the develop
ment of tho North Branch Valloy.
Other addresses followed tending to
reveal what each company had to show
in tho way of good service, and what
its prospects are for building the liue
at an oarly day.
The Council will take action at its
next mooting.

DEATH OF
P. H. ECKHAN
Aftor a lingering illness of a year's
duration, Philip M. Eckman died at
liis homo iu Suubury Wednesday after
noon at half-past ono o'clock. Death
was duo to a stroke of paralysis.
The deceased was aged <»1 years and
13 days.
Ho is survived by a widow and 0110
•laughter, Miss Ksthor.
Philip M. Eckman was horn, and
spoilt his early days in Hash town
ship, Northumberland county. Mo
came to Sunbury at an oarly ago, wlion
his father was elected to tho ottlce of
county commissioner, and, with tho
exception of a short period, when ho
wout west, resided hero all his life.
lie engaged in tho salo of farming
implements, and traveled the county
extensivoly. He afterward was engag
ed iu tho mercantile business, which
he followed until soveral years ago,
whon ho gavo it up, owing to failing
health.
In 1803 he was a candidate 011 the
Doiuocratie ticket for tho office of
Couuty Treasurer, hut was dofeated.
For two terms ho was a member of
tlie borough Council, and during his
second term, was chairman of tho
Streot Com mit foe. Ho was also a uiom
bor of tho Hoard of Education, of
which body ho was chorion treasurer.
Among other important and responsi
ble positions filled creditably by the
deceased, was that of Vico President
of tho Sunbury National Bank, nf
which institution ho was ono ot tho
first and staunohest supporters.
Mr. Eokman was a man of firm busi
ness principles,but at times was ready
and willing to lend assistanco to a
friend in ucod. Ho made aud retain
ed friends,and although Ins death was
to bo oxpectod, tho sad news has been
tho cause of much genuine sorrow and
sadness among his largo circle of
friends and acquaintances, as well as
his immediate family.—Sunbury Daily
Mr. Eckman was well known iu Dan
villo.
Pulling Weeds on Golf Grounds.
That Oastle Grove is not to be de
spised as a factor amoug the establish
ments affording employment to our
citizens will bo very clear when it is
statod that since spring Mr. Bennett
has paid out at least ono thousaud dol
lars to small boys alone for pulling
weeds on his golf grounds.
The golf grounds must be iu excellent
condition and one of tho requisites
seems to bo that they be kept clear of
weeds. The most troublosomo growth
is tho plautaiu, which infests the en
tire area audit is to eradicate theso
that tho hoys are kept regularly em
ployed.
There are seldom less than some
thirty at work. Each boy is armed
with an instrument with which ho
severs the root of the plantain after
which the weed is easily extracted.
The boys, who may avorago some ton
years of ago, are paid fifty cents per
day so that although tho work is more
or less tiresome there is a big induce
ment for the littlo fellows to keep at
work. Some of the boys earu twelve
dollars per month aud upwards and
have worked regularly sinco spriug.
The boys' pay roll this year will be a
big item iu tho expense account at
Oastlo Grovo.
Ohurch Street Bridge.
It seems likely that the canal bridge
at Ohurch stroet, which is in a worn
out aud unsafe condition, may bo torn
down in a short time and replaced by
a culvert as was done on Mill street.
The D. L & W. Kail road Company,
presont owners of the canal,have beon
apprised of tho bridge's unsafe condi
tion aud Council will now propose
that the bridge be removed and that
the ground excavated on Milt street
ho utilized in constructing a culvert
to take its placo.
The Borough will contribute the
ground and haul it to the spot freo of
oost, merely asking the railroad com
pany as its share of the work to lay
up the walls. The stone in the abut
ments and in the wing walls of tho
biidgo, it is held, will bo ample for
tho stone work of the culvert, so that
tho ou(y expeuse that the railr«ad com- {
pauy will be under will bo cost of
labor.
INSPECTOR ON
THE GRODND
Work on the Mausdale road, being
built under the act of April 15, 1903,
has now boon in progross one week
and a fair beginuing has been made.
J. N. Smith of Altoona,inspector em
ployed by the State, is on the ground
and will have the work under his eye
from now until its completion. Mr.
Smith and W. U. Oakes, representa
tive of the Maryland Construction
Company, are both stopping at Hotel
Oliver.
The work has progressed far enough
to reveal both where the macadamiz
od portion of the road will lio and the
system omployod iu the work.
With the assistance of a plojv the
surfaco was taken oil approximately
to tho proper depth from the Borough
line to a poiut near the Gravel B.iuk
school house. The earth exoavated
was carted away, a large portion of it
being used iu constructing a sidewalk
along side tho company barn and in
front of the row of houses on tho same
sido of the stroet west of that point.
Tho sidewalk for a long distauco there
was very low aud as a rosult of the
filling up is very much improved.
Tnosday the mon were put to work
"trimming up." Tho width of the
rough oxcavation is eighteen foet and
aloug this, section by soction, linos
aro drawn to indicate the surface and
the sub grade. The lines.parallel, aud
threo iu number, aro so arranged as to
give the finished road bed tho five
inch "crown" required by the specifi
cations.
The distance between tho surfa 0 aud
the bottom grade is eight inches,
which represents tho space to be filled
with crushed cinder, trap rook and
othor material forming the macadam
or the roadway. For a long distance
at a time the top grade lies several
inolios below the natural surfaco of
the road, which convoys a good idoa
of tho enormous amount of digging re
quired. It is only here and there that
the top grade is above the stfrface of
tho old road, whilo at every point the
sub grade lies below the surface.
Tho macadamizod strip eighteen feet
wide does not follow the wiudings of
the old road. Although it starts in the
middle at the Borough lino just be
yond tho Company barn it lies on the
south side of the road and further on
it occupies tho north side, finally leav
iug the road iu part and cutting into
rho gravel bank ne »r tho school house.
Twenty-five Italians were omployed
yesterday. The "trimming up" pro
cess implies leveling oil* and shaping
up the bottom as indicated by tho
three parallel lines. Each man has a
mark on his shovel handle indicating
eight inches an J he measures with this
to determine when ho has dug deep
enough below thn linos. Tho portion
of the road under way is being clean
ed up very rapidly and made ready for
tho maradam.

Doctor Was Arrested.
Dr. Gray Merrit.a prominont physi
ciau of Mehoopany, was arrested on
the charge of arson at Berwick Mon
day night and held under $1,500 bail,
in default of which he was sent to
jail.
A house belonging to Mrs. Morrit
caught iiro on April 12th, but was
quickly oxtinguisliod by tho liremen.
Upon investigation of tho origin largo
quautitios of excelsior soaked in oil
wore found iu several of tho rooms.
Tho house was built shortly boforethe
depression of tho Berwick car works
and as the house has never been oc
cupied aud is hoavily insured it is
thought that Dr. Morrit wished to got
rid of it.
At tho time of tho fire Edward Bar
gusou, who had boon hired to paint
the building, whs uuder suspiciou and
whon arrested admitted some very
damaging facts concerning Dr. Mor
rit. Tho company has conducted a
quiet investigation aud waited until
they had seoured enough evidence to
convict the guilty parties. As soon as
Dr. Morrit arrivod in Berwick Mon
day afternoon he was arrested and tak
en before Justice Beishline, where he
asked a postponement of his trial until
he could procure counsel. He was hold
in $1,500 bail for court.
