STRONG"
ARGUMENT
[Continned from First Page.]
m. Mr. Scarlet began to argue the de
cisions quoted by Mr. Hinckley and
showed that grade crossings are not
strictly prohibited and each crossing
case most be considered on its own
merits. Engineering skill makes it
possible to construot anything. The
law of 1871, when electric cars were
never dreamed of, is not wholly appli
cable to 1904 and the condition* arising
from modern progress. The safety of
the public is the Bupreme law, and
even if it is practical and yet is dang
erous to operate au overhead crossing
such a crossing should not bo built.
The interests of the citizens of any
place are protected by the munioipal
legislators and iu this cafe Council
Bays the safety of the public demands
a grade crossiug. The granting of a
charter to a railroad does not interfere
with the right of the Borough to con
trol is own streets aud as in Danville
trains may run no faster than eight
miles au hour these facts enter into
the oase. All whose interests are affect
ed most be made a party to the bill
and in this oase the Borough of Dan
ville should have beon made a party
to it, Mr. Scarlet continued to say,af
ter which he spoke of poles aud wires
of telegraph companies as being real
estate, according to a Supreme Court
deoisiou. The Borough Oounoil may
control them only so far as caring for
public safety. Mr. Scarlet offered
numerous deoisious to prove his sever
al contentions. He maintained that au
injunction can not be granted if it in
terferes with publlo work. "Are these
streets to bd torn up continually simp
ly to allow the D. L. & W. to run 14
rains in 24 hours through the city?"
he asked. The question of the danger
of au overhead crossing he said has not
heretofore been raised, but it will be
here aud will have to be met in flual
hearing. Iu concluding he positively
asserted that sinoe it lias beeu proven
that an overhead crossiug will multi
ply the danger to life aud limb a grade
cossing at Mill street is au absolute
necessity.
Ex-Seuator Herring followed Mr.
Scarlet. His argument dealt mainly
with a review of the testimony adduc
ed at the hearing. The trolley motor
man, locomotive engineer and gate
watchman all would have to be oare
less at one time to have an aocldent
ooonr with a safety device for grade
crossings aud even in such au impossi
ble oase the train would pais while
the trolley ran to one side of the traok
or if the trolley oar got on the cross
ing as the train approached the train
would he derailed 400 feet away from
the crossing. He referred to the fact
that it iiad been shown that on an over
head oroasing many acoidents may oo
our over whioh the operators oau have
no oontrol.
Following Mr. Herring Judge Wil
lard occupied the balance of the after
noon. His argnmout was very exhaus
tive.. lasting an hour and a half and
waxftaken np entlroly with quoting
decisions and opinions. He said there
are ouly two propositions in the oase:
That it is reasonable aud practicable
to construct as overhead crossing and
there is nothing to do but to continue
the injunction [of the D. L. & W.
against the trolley company and to
dissolve the other
D. L. & W. Start Improvements.
The D. ti. & W, railroad company
yesterday began work of improvement
from Bloomsbnrg to Rupert. Between
Rnpert aud Catawissa the canal In the
portion called the "narrows" is to be
tilled into make a wider road bed. A
great amount of filling in will be re
quired.
The track is to be raised about three
feet from Rupert to Bloouisburg In
order to make it of sufficient elevation
to give an outlet to Rupert iu time of
high water. At Rupert connection can
lie made with the Philadelphia &
Reading aud trattio in consequence
would not be tied up. Many improve
ments also are to bo made at the
Bloouisburg station.
A Game Youth.
It oould be expected of an American
youth that if he plays football against
his i areuts' wish, aud gots hart, he
will sutler silently. Saoh was the case
with Fred,the 8-ynar-old sou of Frank
Sproul. of Watsoutown, who when he
fonnd himself inoapable of raising his
anu to convey food to Ills month a
supper, quietly remarked that he was
not hungry and slid away from the
table. The father followed and found
the boy crying. Investigation proved
that he had bioken his arm in two
places, between the elbow and wriat,
while playiug foot ball during the at- i
ternoon. i
1 RELIGIOUS
CENSOR PLANNED
At a meeting of the Ministeriom
yesterday it was finally deoided to

Danville and surroundings. The ad
visability and profit of snob a census
will naturally oommeml itself to all
Christian people, and for the informa
tion of the ohurch people as well as
the general publio the method of
proceedure is here given. The whole
work is to be completed between this

what ohnroh,specifying denomination
and name of individual church. If not
a member, what ohurch attended or
preferred. Age of ohildren. Remarks.
Tlie blank spaoes of these oarda are to
be filled ont iu every oase in full, if
possible.
It can be readily ssen that suoh In
formation an will be aeenred by the
use of these cards, will not only be of
interest but of profit to the general
oause of Chriitlanity In the commun
ity. It is believed by those haviug
this work in charge, that the informa
tion asked will be oheerfully given by
every one.
The ceuaua taking will be facilitated
by each person reaponding promptly to
the questions asked, and aa the min
isters are entering upon this undertak
ing in the hope that mnoh good will
reault it ia believed the committees
will be given oourteouß consideration.
Fashionable Wedding
at Berwick.
The wedding of Miaa Mae L. Eaton
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Huber Eat
on of Berwiok and Olarenoe Gearhart
Crispin son of the late Benjamin Cris
pin of Berwiok, was solemnized last
evening at 6 o'olock in the Methodist
Churoh of Berwiok. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. R. H. Gilbert.
A reoeption followed at the home of
the bride'a parenta.
A great number of distinguished
gueßts were present and it was one of
the most splendid weddings which haß
ever been solemnized in this part of
the State. After the reception the
bride nnd groom left on a special car
to spend their honeymoon touring the
northern stateß.
John H. Brugler, the arohitcot who
deaigued the prinoely home in which
Mr. and Mrs. Crispin will reside, Mr.
aud Mrs. W. E. Longer and Mrs. L.
R. James, of Danville, attended the

Mine May Engulf Town.
The Pennsylvania aud Reading Rail
road Companies Monday had a largo
foroe of men patroling the traoks at
Enterprise,where the mine fire, whioh
atarted laat Saturday rages with more
fury than ever. Portable telegraph
oflloes have been set np and the most
vigilant care is being exercised to
guard against trains being swallowed
up by the burning mine, over whioh
the railroads run.
Pait of the village of Enterprise al
so rests on the danger ground, aud
people are fearful that if the conflagra
tion is not oonqnered the fire will eat
its way far enough to the surface aud
oauae many houses to be engulfed bv
cave-ins.
AU trains east and west on oacii
railroad are run with greatly reduced
speed through Enterprise. If the
menace beoomes moro immediate the
roadbeds will be changed.
The Are ia causing incalculable dam
age to the workinga. Every stiok of
lumber in the Blope Is burned away.
Already a portion of the ground has
caved in, and there IB danger that the
slope will entirely olose.
This Blope runs nnder the Philadel
phia and Reading and Pennsylvania
Railroads, and, should the earth give
way, the traoka may be engulfed. In
the event of a oave-in the stations on
either aide will be immediately notifi
ed and traffic will be suspended until
the road is repaired.
Water is now being pumped into a
10,000 gallon tank at the head of the
slope, and when it beoomes fall a gate
is opened, thus allowing the water to
rush into the workings. In the opin
ion of experts this method of flooding
is more effective than a steady stream
flowing in.
*lll6 drift running nnder the rail
road tracks and oonneoting with the
{ main workings is being closed with a
hormetioally sealed battery. A new
slope whloh was recently sank does
ndt oonueot with the old workings,
and was pnt down with the intention
of tapping reins heretofore undevelop
ed. It Is the intention of the manage
ment to pußh the work in this section
of the mine, where many of the em
ployes will work while the fire in the
old workings is being fought.
Burr Stock Company.
The Burr 3tock Company, support
ing the young romantic character act
or, Uorris Burr, under the perxonul
direction of Prank H. Uaokey, will
open a solid week's engagement at the
Opera House Monday night. As an
opening bill the oompany will present
Hal Keid's greatest play of the south
land, "Knobs o' Tennessee." Mr.
Burr will be seen to advantage in one
of his favorite characters, that of Joe
Preston, the moonshiner. Tlie com
pany carries an excellent corps of
vaudeville artists who will entertain
royally between the acts of eaoh play
presented. Owen and Sunlin, the
Dutch (ketch artists,are peers in their
Una and there is no more laughable act
upon the stage today than that pres
ented by these hilariously fuuny peo
[ pie. A1 Dashington.the jubilee danc
er aud Glen Burt, the Hebrew comed
ian, as well as Emma Boltou, the
singing aud dancing sonbrettc and
Prof. Maok'sdog comedians contribute
much to the vaudeville part of the
show.
KIT. IB HABHAN
GETSJJOOD CALL
Concerning the Rev. H. C. Harmau,
a former popular pastor of St. Paul's
Metholist church, this city, who loft
Danville last spring,the Milton Stand
ard publishes the following :
"The public iu general and tlie mem
bers of the Methodist Episcopal church
of our city in particular, have been in
terested aud moro or less concerned
about certain rumors floating abont
that Rev. Harry Onrtiu Haruiau had
been invited to the pastorate of a
strong aud influential church iu Wat
erloo, lowa. The facts aro, that the
popular minister did receive a call
from the ciinroh above noted, aud tlie
inducements offered were a flattering
recognition of his ability. The local
cougregatiou would not have censured
their pastor if he fiad accepted the
call, much a» they would have regret
ted his leaviug. They brought a strong
pressure upon him to remain iu Mil
ton, aud Dr. Wiloox, the presiding
elder of the district, insisted that Dr.
Haruiau remain iu this conference,
where he was sure of a promising fu
ture. The determination of Dr. Har
man to remain here is a genuine de
light to his congregation and to the
host of friends and admirers through
out the city."
ANNUAL REUNION
OF SABRE REGIMENT
The 27th annual reunion of the 7tli
Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer
Cavalry,often flailed "the Sabre Regi
ment of the West," whicli is to he
held at Milton next Monday and Tues
day, promises to be au interesting and
enjoyable event.
Ex-Sheriff Michael Reckbill, Hiram
Wertinan and Thomas Hauudors ot this
city wore members of company D iu
this regiment, and served throughout
the war. Many former residents of
Danville were also iu the regiment
several of the companies having been
recruited from the northern part ot
Montour and Northumberland coun
ties.
Major Goneral James 11. Wilson,
commander of the Cavalry Corps of
the army of the Cumberland and Gen
em! Joseph Wheeler who commanded
the Confederate Cavalry, havo both
promised to bo propent. On Monday
evening a camp fire will lie hold, aud
on Tuesday will occur the busiuess
meeting and election of oflieers for the
ousuing year together with a banquet.
An effort will be made by the Dan
ville delegation to have the next re
union iu this city. This rogimeut held
its reuuion here in 181)1. Special ratos
have beeu arranged ou the railroads
running into Milton.
DISCREDIT STORY OF
DISASTER TO SLAVONIA
LONDON, Oct. 11). —At the olliccs
here ot theCuuard Steamship company
rumor published that the steamer Sla
vonia had sunk in a storm off the
Spanish coast is entirely discredited.
The Slavonia, it is pointed out, ptiss
od Gibraltar oil October 11, aud the
officials cannot see how fhe could be
anywhere ill tho neighborhood ol : the
Spanish coast. The vessel is doe at
Now York on October 2J. Here is a
dispatch, whioh was from Viouna.and
sent out during the early hours of to
day :
"A Vienna disputoh to tho London
Standard this morning gives a rumor
current ill that city to the effect that
a Cuuard stoamship from Flume,with
2,200 immigrants ou board, has sunk
off the Spanish coast. A fierce storm
was raging at the time. The Staudard
has no confirmation of the report, but
gives it for what it is worth. Flume
is in the Adriutlo Sea and is Hun
gary's only port. It is almost opposite
Venice."
River Bank Park Advocated.
The proposition concerning the build
ing of the protecting wall at the coun
ty lot on the river bank has not been
aoted upon yet, but tho question has
caused considerable discussion and iu
connection with the wall project a new
scheme has sprung up.
The wall, of course, is greatly need
ed. As the oity is having a wall erect
ed at the Water Works tho county wall
to aonneot with this and run to the
bridge would make a decided improve
ment in the appearance of the river
bank at that point,which is especially
important because of being one of the
first things that passengers from the
Pennsylvania station coming to Dan
ville notice. The idea of protection,
however, is the main consideration.
What m&jy persons now advocate is
the erection of tho wall and tilling iu
back of it, the planting of trees and
finally the construction of a hand s ;and
—iu short the transformation of the
place into a small aud pretty water
side public park, which doubtless could
bo made very attractive aud would be
quite popular.

SOB CONTRACT LET
jORJRECTION
Defln ito iieWß concerning the action
of tlie King Bridge Company,of Cleve
land, Ohio, iu the matter of the Dan
ville river bridge is at last within
possession of Jtlie "AMERICAN, and
this paper now pan give its readers in
formation that will be gladly welcom
ed. Iu fact work ou tho superstruct
ure of the new bridge will start on
November Ist and there is a possibil
ity of its completion within eight
weeks, just about in time to come as a
good, substantial Christmas present
for Danville folks.
George E. Giflord, of New York
City, representing the King Bridge
Company,and P. J. Collins, of Horse
heads, N. Y., of the Horseheads Con
struction Company arrived iu Dan
ville yesterday auil last night were in
conference with Engineer Leonard, of
the Caldwell, Barry & Leonard Com
pany to whom the subcontract for the
masonry work was let several months
ago. Just as the sub coutract for the
erection of abutments aud piers was
let to the firm above named the work
of ereotiug the iron of the bridge is to
be giveu to another firm, the Horse
heads Construction Company. Mr.
Collins will be the superintendent of
construction.
Our representative last night in
terviewed Messrs. Gilford and Collins,
who explninbd that the Kiug Bridge
Company will make and ship tho iron
for the bridge aud the Horseheads
Company will erect it. The material
will arrive over the Pennsylvania rail
road. The erection of the false work,
Mr. Collius says, will begin ou Nov
ember Ist. By the time it has pro
gressed far enough for the iron to be
set up the material will bo here. Ask
ed how long it would take to erect the
superstructure, he replied that it was
entirely a matter of conjecture,as high
water sometimes interferes with tho
operations, which might als>i he other
wise delayed, but he thought that un
der favorable oironmstaucts the task
might be completed in two months.
Mr. Collins will leavo this citv today.

i Struggle With Mad Dog.
M issos Sne and Mary Danner of
■ Eastou, were rescued from the fiorce
■ attack of a mad bulldog ou Sunday in
* timo probably to save their lives. They
> are sisters of Civil Engineor John
t Danner of tho Danville and Blooms
i burg trolley road, and daughters of
I State Senator Thomas Danner.
They were walking with Arthur
Smith, a musician of that city, allow
i ing their brother's pet ball dog togo
with them. On their way home the
animal suddenly began to growl aud
in an instant ferociously attacked Miss
: Sue Danner. Smith graspod a club
i and struok the dog,which then sprang
1 for the throat of Miss Mary Danner.
Agaiu Smith interposed aud swinging
i to one side as the wild bruto advanced
■ the man caught the dog around the
) neck. The man's hands tightened like
a steel band but the tenacious brute
fought desperately, tearing the flesh
ou the arms of the courageous music
ian, who called to the young ladies to
floe. They stood trausfixed for twenty
minutes while the terrible struggle be
tween man and beast lastod. At tho
end of that time the bull dog was
' choked to death.
Smith was nearly exhausted from
' tho terrible strain, and oven oil Mou
' day night the young ladies were great
' ly unnerved as a result of their dang
-1 erous experienoe.
In Her New Play.
One of tho coming attractions at the
Opera House is Mildred Holland in
1 her new play, "The Triumph of an
Empress." The play is from the pen
of that versatile playwright, Theortoro
Kremer, who has given to the stage
1 many successes in the past few years.
In writing the drama for Miss Hol
land Mr. Kremer has wisely stepped
from the paths of historical accuracy,
aud in presenting his Catherine has
shown only the good qualities of her
nature. Her whims aud capricos were
touched upon, but her selfishness and
the bad side of her nature was not in
the play. Mr. Kremer's Catherine is
far from being the historical one. The
play is a good one, however, being a
well written and exciting drama,with
a Russian setting, which by tho way
was beautifully designed aud painted
and everywhere showed tho care and
practical knowledge of Miss Holland,
who spent many weeks Inst summer in
Russia in search of Ideas for stago set
tings.
Berwick's Big Pay.
Ou Saturday tho Amorican Oar & I
Foundry Company of Berwick paid
out to its employees, for two weeks' I
work, the Immense sum of $77,0(10.
Oue oau hardly realize the po-sibili
ties of such a sum of money which is
in itself a fortune, and when the fact
is taken info consideration that this
pay is hut for two weeks work, the
figures seem almost iucreditable. j

ITALIAN COT
JND ROBBED
A bloody Italian row is reported to
have occurred across the river Sunday
evening and one mail claims to have
been robbed of all his money, stripped
of his clothes and badly cut with a
razor wielded by a fellow countryman
who has escaped, according to the ac
count of the affair given by the m%h
who was so brutally handled.
The Italian said to have perpetrated
the bold outrage is called Dominic and
is described as a big mau wearing a
broad-brim hat and big belt and us
ually a red handkerchief tied around
his neck. He is spoken of as a familiar
figure on the street hero. The other
man's name also is Dominio, but it is
understood he is known too as Rossa.
He is a small mau who was going over
the river with a note for two men to
report at another place for work yes
terday. Dominic met him ami said he
would go with him. They started
down the Pennsylvania railroad to
wards the Italian quarters and the big
Italian insisted ou the little fellow
going tQ the woods for apples. This
Rossa fiually consented to do and it
was when he reached a secluded spot
that his compauiou assaulted and rob
bed him, so he alleges.
The big Italian drew a razor and de
manded his money, whereupon Rossa
gave up a pooketbook containing $3.25
but this was throwu away and the un
satisfied robber fiercely attacked hira,
choking him and then placing his knee
oil the ohest of Ro.-sa after throwing
him to the grouud. The clothes were
toru from the man's body aud he was
cut in numerous places, but not dang
erously, before Dominic found the
money he was after. The victim of the
robbery had $Ol tied around oue of his
legs.including money received ou Sat
urday, which was pay day. This was
taken and Doininic left his almost ex
hausted countryman lying helpless in
the darkness.
It developed lator Mint the Italians
Roma wan going to see had heard the
noise of the struggle, bat in the dark
ness could not see the prostrate foiin
of the man who was being robbed and
whom Domiuio choked so that he aould
not give an alarm. When liosna Dual
ly made known his plight It is said

A MATTER OF HEALTH

*«kiN6
POWDER
Absolutely Pure
HAS DO SUBSTITUTE
BDILT IN 1812;
STRONG AS EVER
Few people of Danville are awtuo of
tho fuct that this city cau boast of hav
ing in its immediate vicinity a house
that in almost a ceuteuarinti, that win
erected daring the time ot America's
first war after the United States be
came a nation and that still stands firm
and strong in spite of its uoight of
years, a laud-mark whoje history is of
great interest. Moreover this autiqno
struoture is owned by a wnll-kuown
man of this city. James Slinltz, of
Market stroet, who himself for many
years lived in tne house, which now
is occupied by a son of Mr. Shultz,
who works the farm ou which it
stands.
Near the old canal, loss than a mile
beyond tho hospital, is a quaint stono
structure that lias attracted the atten
tion of many passers-by. They never
dreamed,perhaps, that the sturdy house
is nearing the age of a liuudied years
and was in process of erection when
tho Uuited States was demonstrating"
to Great liritain that the rights of
American soainen must be respected.
In truth the house was built away back
in 1812, when Canada was being in
vaded and the famous battleship Con
stitution was winning memorable nav-'
al victories over the British ships. So
extremely aged is the building that
Mr. Shultz.the present owncr.can not
tell by whom it was erected although
he purchased it at mi early dale,at tho
olose of the Civil War.
It was about 18(i7 that he bouaht the
property and ho lived tlieio until about
fifteen years ago, wlieu he removed to
Dauville. He improved" the pl«o<r a
little, among other thjues removing
an old-fashionod lire place. When he
went to cut tho wall to place a wind
ow in it ho found the mortar as hard
as the stone. This was due to the fact
that tile 1111 rtar was made of wood
burut lime and was possibly stronger
than the modern kind.
On a stoue over the door are the
figuuis. " 1812" showing tho time ol'
erection. A lingo Hock of stono is in
the plaeo of a door step and is itself a
relic of the past, being of a size not
commonly seen now. It is in one soild
piece 14 feet loug by 12 feet wifle.
Mr. Sliullz says that today, ilie house
is practically as good as new. The
only parts ot it weakened by age are
window frames and the roof, but the
main structuro stands in defianco of
the eleuiouts and old Father Tim;.
This intensely .interesting and his
torical dwelling is well worth a visit,
