P. 4 R. OFFICIALS VISITDANYILLE General Superintendent A. T. Dice of the Philadelphia & Reading Bail way Company, accompanied by J. D. Turk Superintendent of the Shamokin division arrived in this oity Friday. Id oompany with Ooanoilmen Oeorge Reifsnyder, Albert Lloyd, Arthur Die trioh and John H. Goeser, comprising the Streets and Bridges Committee and W. F. Pasooe and F. 0. Angle, Esq., of the Danville and Blooms burg Street Bailway Company, tho site of the pro posed A street underground crossing was visited and folly gone over. The Beading oompany officials have made a proposition to putin a road way thirty feet in width running un der their tracks at the foot of A street, whioh will open np that thoroughfare and form a connection with Walnat street. In retnrn the Beading oom pany desires the Borougli to close the orossing leading over the tracks be tween Walnut and Cross streets. The roadway under the tracks as pro posed, would be plenty wide enongh to aocommodate the trolley line and all vehicles that would have occasion to use It. The roadway would be ao oessible from Nicholas nveune aud oould bo used with as much oonveni enoe and more safoty than the oross ing now being used at Cross street. Many people are of the opinion that the roadway would bo a great improve ment aud would eliminate a railroad orossing that has always been consid ered more or less dangerous. By turning from Bloom iuto A street, which is the first street above the Grove Presbyterian ohurch, aud com ing down Walnut street, the trolley line will take in all hut two blocks of its original route aud will not be com pelled to fight through another grade crossing. Plans and specifications will be drawn np by the Reading company and submitted to Council at a special meet ing called for next Friday eveniug.

PETERSBURG, Sept. 28.-A dispatch reoeived yestorday afternoon, announces that numerous skirmishes have ocourred along most parts of the Russian front. The Japauose have not altered their positions east of the rail road and oonfiue themselves to outpost attacks to the north, all of whioh so far have been repulsed. Reoonnoissances by the Russian troops have obtained the fact that the main Japanese forces are still along the branoh railroad to the Yentai minos. Both sidoß are iu constant con. taot. Gen. Samsonott's troops particular ly havo had frequent enoounters but have sustained very few oabualties. The Russians have captured some Jap anese cattle and horses. The Japanese have constructed pon toon bridges over the Taitse river at Pensihu. Many Advantages of Baral Deliver;. Free rural delivery has, iu the opin ion of the postoffico department, in creased the postnl receipts, increased the namber of newspapers and mag azines read, enhanoed the valne of farm property,improved the ooudition of the roadß, and is indirectly respon sible for the farmer getting better prices for his produots, by keeping him daily in touch with the markets. But the best point made was when the official said that "to those mater ial advantages may be added the edu cational benefits conferred by reliev ing the monotony of farm life through ready aooess to wholesale literature, and the keeping of all rural residents, the young people as well as their eld ers, fully informed as to the stirring events of the day. The moral value of these civilizing influences oannot be too highly rated," Longenberger--Price. On Saturday evening, September 17th, at Trinity M. E. parsonage, Mr. William J. Longenberger and Miss Carrie M. Price were united in the bonds of holy matrimony by Rev. N. E. Cleaver. The oity of Scranton is about to have •11-nfgiit trolley service. Arrangement •re now being completed. REVISITING HIS mm HOKE William M. Miller of Washington, D. 0., will retnrn home today after a several days visit with old friends and acquaintances in this city. Ur. Mil ler was a resident of Danville prior to the Civil War and this visit is the first in many years. Mr. Miller was born in Miftllnbarg and oame to Danville in 1831 when still a boy. On September 14th, 1855 he enlisted as a member of Co. B, 9th Infantry, United States Army for a term of five years nnder Captain Fred Dent. The regiment, which was Bta tiouod at Walla Walla, Washington territory, participated in many of the ludian Wars and Mr. Miller's exper iences wori of a very thrilling char acter. The 9th Infantry was com manded by Major William Grier, son of the late Miohael Grier of this oity. Mr. Miller reoeived his disoharge a short time before his enlistment ex pired and he was paid off at Vancou ver, Oregon. After a visit to San Fran oisco and other points in the west he returned to Danville in 1859. After a short slay here he went to Philadelphia where he enlisted in the United States Navy and was assigned to duty on the oroiser Brooklyn, nn der the oommand of Admiral Farragut. This boat took Amerioan Minister Mcliain to Vera Cruz, Mexico, during the Race and Church War in that country. Mr. Miller was one of thir ty marines that were sent ashore at Tampeco, Mexico, for the protection of United States Consul MoChase. He was on shore dntv three months at this point and was quartered at the best hotel in the oity. Returning to America he was for a time stationed at Norfolk, Va., later on sailing for the Isthmns of Panama. He aocompanled a corps of engineers over the site of the Panama Canal route before returning. While on the ocean bonnd for the States a sailing vessel imparted the news that Abra ham Linooln had been eleoted Presi dent and that great excitement pre vailed in the South. The Brooklyn,after oarrying a foroe of artillery from Fortress Monroe to Fort Taylor at Key West, Florida,was ordered to the mouth of the Mississip pi river for blockade doty. But a short stay was made here, the vessel returning to the Brooklyn Navy Yard after whioh it was taken out of com mission. Mr. Miller, after a IS days furlough whioh was spent ill Danville, was as signed to the gunboat West Held com - inauded by Captain Rensliaw and again returned to the Mississippi riv er. Under Admiral Porter he partic ipated in the engagements and sur render of Fort Jackßon and Port St. Philip. The oity of Galveston was the next place captured hut it was retaken by the rebels and in order to avoid cap ture the Westflald was blown up. Fourteeu men, including three com missioned oflioers were killed in the explosion. Mr. Miller was then ordered to New Orleans and assigned to Admiral Farragut's flagship Hartford. On this ship.iu March 1863 he participat ed.in the battle of Fort Hudson. Dur ing this engagement the Frigate Mis sissippi was destroyed and 400 men lost. Admiral Dewey waß lieutenant on this ill fated boat bat esoaped with liis life. After participating in the battles of Grand Gulf and Vioks burg the Hartford returned to the Brooklyn Navy yard where Mr, Mil ler received his final discharge. Mr .Miller was a model soldier and marine, a clause in his discharge read ing, "An excellent man and first rate soldier." He has enjoyed his visit to his old home very muoh. He is still in good health and in his reminisoen oos shows a remarkable memory. His visit to Danville has been of great in terest to him as well as to his many friends. Provisions Hoarce on South Side. The population of Sonth Danville aud Riverside has been increased to no little extent with the influx of bridge builders, Italian laborers,eto. and the business of merchants on the South Bide as well as those who peddle in that vicinity is increased .accord ingly. Several of the bridge mechanioa have temporarily movod their fami lies to South Danville and ooonpy houses that were vaoated by families moving to Danville until tho bridge iB ereoted. Many homes are filled with boarders and the hotel has all the guests it can accommodate. On Saturday the ferry trafflo was so heavy and the flat boat moved so BIOW- Iy that the Danville wagons were su able to make their deliveries nntil very late. Heavy pnrohases had been made on this side of the river for Sat urday and Sunday and the drivers were oompelled to make more trips than is customary. The butohers and bakers were sold out early. A scaroity of bread kept the bakers' wagons on tho other side until after eight o'clook. In order to be sore of a supply for Sunday many people made special trips to Danville Saturday night to make their purchases for Sunday. The South side is by no means a slow plaoe these days especially iu the evening. Tho bridge meu are a sociable lot and havo made things protty lively.

GRORTED BLOCKS LAIDJESTERDAY The work of patting down the pav ing blocks between the trolley tracks was begun yesterday morniug and be fore night considerable progress had been made. The groove in the bricks nearost the rails on either side is soarcely dis cernible and one must look closely to observe it. It is wide enough to per mit the flauge of a trolley car whoel to run smoothly bnt is so close to tho rail that it cannot interfere in any way with travel. Contrary to expectations no paving will be laid this week. The street has been graded aud ooncreted as far as the D. L. & W. railroad crossing and is ready for the brioklayers but as the trolley tracks have not been put down the laying of brick had to be postpon ed. The trolley company thought it ad visable to wait until the stroet nortli of the railroad crossing had been grad ed to Bloom street. This is as far as the tracks extend and as tho distauco was so short it was thought hotter to wait a few days aud then lay tho tracks the entire distano9. Excavating is proceeding rapidly de spite the extremely hard digging. A number of men are already at work at a point North of Northumberland street and by the olose of next week it is expected that the excavating aud grading will be completed to the oud of the paving line at Centre street. Contractor D. J. Rogers stated yes terday that he is hurrying the work along in order to complote the job be fore there is a likelihood of oold weath - er. As soon as grading is completed to Center street, the squaro between the Montour Houso and the bridge will be started. Grading as far as Bloom street will be completed by Friday night aud the trolley oompany will then pot down the rails. This work aau be complet ed in two days.

Sharpies*, the well known Hazleton lawyer had a most thrilliDg experience with a burglar ou Monday night. Mr. Sharpless is a son-iu-law of Mrs. W. M. Gearliart, West Market street and is quite well known hero. The Hazleton ' Plain Spoaker" of Tuesday night gives tlio following aocount of the adventure: "J. R. Sharpless and J. H. Bigelow had experiences last night with a man believed to bo the sneak tbief who has been operating in Hazleton for the past two weekß. He got into the resi dence of the former and was on the back porch of the liomo of tlio latter, but was scared off before he oould gain au entrance to the building. Mr. Sharp less had the more exciting time of the two. Mr. Sharpless and family with the exoeptiou of the servant girl, May Smith,had retired for the night. Miss Smith returned home from church ut about 10:30 o'olock. Haviug a key to the kitoheu she opeuod the door and was just about to close aud lock it agaiu when au unknown man sprang from a dark comer of the porch. Plac iug one of his feet betweon the door aud tlio door jam he prevented the girl from shutting it. With rare presence of mind Miss Smith rau through the kitchen iuto the dining room aud, looking the door of the latter, whioh connects with the kitchen, summoned Mr. Sharpless and explained the situation to him. Mr. Sharpless is somewhat of ~a strategist and tried to entrap tlio in truder by yelling to his neighbor, L. O. Emmerich, to telephone for the police. Mr. Emmerioh was fast asleep anil wasn't droamiug of trouble. He could uot be aroused,so Mr. Sharplosß, olad iu his night gown and bath robe, whioh gave him the appoarauce of a Roman senator seen ou tlio stago iu Shakespearean plays,decided to 'phone himself regardless of oonsequoncos. His 'phone is iu the dining room Armed with a revolver that he keeps for such emorgoncios aud knowing that the burglar could not get any farther than the kitchen, Mr. Shnrploss went down aud rang up polioe headquarters. Officer Goldsworthy responded to tlio alarm, but when ho and Mr. Sharpless euteied the kitoheu their bird had flown. Tho door aud two windows woie wide open and there wore no signs of the man iu tho cellar or auy other portion of the premises. The tiugliug of the telephone bell no doubt frightened him away. Mr. Sharpless said today that if he had uot been such a conspicuous mark iu his white night clothes lie would have opeuod tho door leading to the kitchon before summoning tho police aud engagod tho burglar without police assistance. It is believed that the sneak thief, after csoapiug from tho resideuce of Mr. Sharpless, tried to get iuto the kitchen of J. H. Bigelow, who lives nearby. Ho did uot, however, carry out his plans so successfully as at the first placo ho visited for the night. People were astir iu tho neighborhood at the time and he vauished." Charles D, Wolfe Again Honored. Charles D. Wolfo of Williarasport, who was District Dopnty Exalted Itul er fiom .Tnly 11102 to July 1003 of tho section of Pennsylvania which includes Danville Lodge, No. 754 R P. O. Elks has again boon honored by the Grand Exalted Kuler William J. O'Brien of Baltimore. Mr. Wolfe on Monday evening re ceived a telegram from Mr. O'Brien informing him of his appointment as a member of tho oommittoe of appeals and grievauoes of the Grand Lodge of tho Unitod States. This is one of the most important committees of tho or der and the appointment of Mr. Wolfe is an uuexpectod honor whioh shows the vory high esteem in which lie is held by the officers of the Grand Lodge, and not only does the honor fall upon Mr. Wolfo alone, but also upon ovory lodge in this district. Mr. Wolfe's position in Elkdoni is an envious one, bat he has won his honors through morit, his devotion to the principles of tho ordor have always been his first thought. Four times in succession has he boen elected to the highest ohair in Williamsport Lodgo No. 173, that of Exalted Kuler, and lie has also served the state body as Dis trict Deputy Exalted Ruler. In these positions he has brought Williamsport Lodge to the foremost in membership and through his porsistent efforts it has takon a leading position with the lodges not only of the state,but of the oountry. Mr. Wolfe has visited the Danville lodge on several ocoasions, the mem bers of whioh will no doubt bo glad to know of the appointment. Continental Hose Company's Picnic. The Coutiuontal Hose Company's pionio at Hunter's Park on Saturday was not as great a success as the fire men had hoped for. The cool weath er was mainly responsible, many thinking that hoiug in the woods at this season would be auything but pleasant. A fair sized crowd attended iu tho afternoon and in the ovouing the pa vilion was crowdod. Tho crowd presout had a most enjoyable time tho Committee boing well prepared toon - tortain thorn. The picnic was by no means a failure and a small sum was roalizod above expenses. This picnio olosed the season at this resort.

Miss Anthony is a leader in social oircles at Oatawissaand is well known in this oity. MALE CHOIR ORGANIZED A male choir of eighteen voices has reoeutly boen assembled at St. Hub ert's German Catholic church aud iB being instructed by Dr. George A Stook. The choir consists of nine men and nine boys aud is holding weekly rehoarsals. The radical change is not only oonspicuous for the absence of female voices but for the entire elimination of the florid stylo of music usually sung in Catholic churches and the maguificeut masses which borderod on oratorio aud which were listened to with mncli intorest everywhere. The change is made by a recent edict issued by Pope Pius X in which a request was niado that the Catholic choirs return to the old Gregorian chant. This chant, was originated by Pope Grogory the First, known as Gregory the Groat. The chant is a plain song, a kind of UUIHOUOUS music and is made up according to the eight oolebrated ohuroh modus. The Popo lias appointed a commission to seloct such portions of the chant as will best suit tho preseut choirs and as soou as the task is comploted the mauusoript will be givuu to tho music publishers who will issuo it iu the original toxt. Dr. Stock is paving the way for the change atul St. Hubert's congregation will be tho first in the Hurrishurg Dio cese to organize tlio male choir. St. Peter's Cathedral, Scranton, presided over by Bishop Hoban recently made tho change aud though proving some what of a novelty, it is not thought that tho music will be as satisfactory as the moro modern style. CULVERT WALLS BEING HEIGHTENED The retaining walls at the cnlvorf are being heightened aud when the work is completod will present a much bettor appearauoe. Ou the northwest side nine foet of stono will be laid at the highest point and the work will slope gradually to the end of tho wall. Ou tlio oast side of tho culvert tho walls running down Canal avenue will not be so high though soveral foot of stone wilt be added. Iron railings will be plased ou the eastern wal's adding much to tho safety and appearance of the driveways. Tlio thoroughfare running alongside of City Hall will bo filled iu widen ing the roadway about three feot. ENGAGED IN A TURNING MOVEMENT ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 28.-7:4 a. ill.—ln summing up the situation today the military expert of tho Russ says it is evident from all indications at the front, that tho Japanese arc eu gaged iu u big turning movement on the eastward. lliis would give them the advantage as heretofore, of opera tions largely in tlio monutaius to which their artillery is bottor suited than for movements iu the opon. But iu the proseut movement tho units of tho Japanose army are necessarily los ing touch with ouo another. Their strategic) position is,therefore , IOSB satisfactory than at Liao Yang. Tho Russ says it is a question wheth er a decisive or oven serious engage ment will occor at Mukden. Such an event will depend entirely upon Gen. Kuropatkin's views as to the exigen cies of tho situation. "However, one may rest certain," tho paper adds, "that the sentimoutal question of violation of tho Chinese tombs will not weigh with tho Rus sian commander. The publio must wait patiently a few days, iu order to ascertain whetlior there will bo a big fight at Mukden or whether the retreat will be continued to tho strong posi tion at Tie Pass. " Exciting Game of Foot Ball. A good sized crowd witnessed the foot ball game between the Freshmen and Juuior High Sohool teams at Do- Witt's Park on Saturday afternoon.
