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.

SKIRMISH LINE
SCENE OF ACTION
ST. 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.

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.

IA THRILLING
John R. 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.

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

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

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 -

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. "

Fred M. Owou yesterday aftoruooi
took a patty oousistiug of Will G.
Brown,F P. Johnson and a represent
ative of the News over the Danvilli
aud Bloomsburg Trolley hue ill hii
Oldsmobile touring oar. Frequeni
stops wero made to better view tlx
progress that has receutly been made,
aud at eaoii poiut wiiere workuieu are
still employed it was evident thai
ouly the finishing touches were nooes
sary to completo the line aud put it in
first.class working order.
On the outward journey the first
activity that was notioed was a gang
of about 20 men who wero removing
the weeds and dirt from the track aud
cleaning up the liue iu general This
work hud progressed to a point hall
war botweeu Grovauia aud Danville,
so that thore now remains but three
miles to be cloaned up. The track
from the placo wiiero these men wore
workiug to the Fisliing Creek bridge
presents an appoarauce that would dc
credit to the road bed of a modern
steam railway.
At the Powor Huuso the same work
of completing the iiual details was go
ing on. E. F. Smith, who is to have
charge of the plant, was busily oc
cupied putting things in systematic
order so that the engines may bo start
od on a moment's notice. This morn
ing the joints on the switch board will
bo soldered up, the feod wire will be
connected to the board aud all will b<
in readiness to operate the plant.
At the Fishing Oreok bridge the
workmeu were placing the heavy over
head "travoler" in plaoe, aud had al
ready put some of the rails in position
on the false work. At the Bloomsburg
eud of the bridge there is a particular
ly sharp curve, for which is needed a
special pieoe of track. This will be
plaoed in position today. With tliif
ourvo completed nothing re iriins to b(
done but lay a few rails nil the bridgi
and string the feed wiro across the
creek and the liue will bo 10.i.1y foi
the first car.
The tour of inspection was coutiuu
ed from the Fishing Greek bridge tc
the car barn of the Uoutour & 00l
umbia Trolley Company where tlx
party viewed the Danville aud Blooms
burg company's oomnio
dious cars, which were recently do
scribed in this paper.
Mr. Pascoe stated last evening thai
' the engines at the power house will
| bo started this afteruoon.
The hills surrounding town aro al
ready taking on a beautiful tinge.
