DANVILLE. MONTOUR COUNTY. PA., FBI DAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1905 A LITTLE LIGHT ON THE_SUBJECT Ai the new bridge is Hearing com. pletion, the Oonnty Oommissioners of Montour and Northumberland conn tiei, should begio to consider another important matter pertaining thereto. How is the atruoture to be lighted? Lighta of some kind will have to be furnished, jointly by tlie two Boards of County Oommissioners, each to pay ooe-half of the expense. The bridge when oompleted, will be one of the handaomeat in the State. Inferior lights will not answer in this Inatanoe, for two very good rea aona— they would not look well and they would not be capable of illumin ating the fine atrnctnre as it should be, A few inoandeacent lights placed aoroaa the bildge wi'i not answer. Are lights are needed. About three of them would be auffloient. That num ber wonld illuminate the bridge from end to end. While on the subject offjjlights'lthis paper deairea to draw attention to the intenae blaokness, with which the Pennaylvauia Railroad croaning at f)ooth Danville,ia nightly enshrouded. It ia not only a dark place but an ex ceedingly dangerouß one. There is no kind of a lamp there at all,and the watohman leaves his post of duty ev ery evening after the last passenger train passes. After that hour teams and pedestr'ans, obliged to cross over the railroad at that point, are in dan ger of being rnu down by freight trains. The oroßßing ia used but very little now, but when the bridge is complet. Ed the travel over it will he thribbled. Then when summer oomes and the Soath aide park is opened for the sea son, the croseing will be utilized to a ■till greater extent. The people of South Danville should petition the Pennsylvania Railroad oompany to place an arc light at that crossing, or provide a night watohman for that dangerous spot. A Series of i*lishaps. The sixth span of the now bridge ap pears to be a sort of a Jonah, judging from the inoidents and acoidents that have occurred there aince it was com menced. When the false work was being trans ferred around one of the piers on Mon day last, one of the employes fell into tbe water. On Tuesday the false work, on account of some of the bents not having been set on aolid enough ground at the bottom of the river, Battled to the extent of nearly causing the en tire atruoture to break iu two iu the center. Had the break occurred the timbers, heavy iron girders aud 18 or DO meu would hare been piled up in a promiicuoua heap on the ioe 33 feet below. Fortunately the ends of the bents atrnok solid ground in time to prevent Buoh a oalamity, but tho ac oident oaused considerable extra work to blook the joiats up to a level with thoae on either side of them. Yesterday Martin Powers full from the aixth span, and was seriously in jured, and a few minutes prior to the latter event, Charles Riflel, of South Danville,had several of his toes crush ed by a heavy pieoe of iron fulliug up on tliem. Ready for Valentine Day. Bt. Valentine's Day, whioh occurs February 14, will enjoy a revival this year as unusual interest has already been displayed in the new designs of valentines mauy of the local dealers hare on display. The oliange from the old style paper and lace to more use ful ones that are now popular has in fused new life into the giving of val entines in commemoration of the day. St. Valentine's Day, February 14, is observed In commemoration of St. Val eutins, a Christian martyr, who was decapitated 370 A. D. daring the Oiaadian persecution at Home. The oastom of sending valentines, sentimental or comic love messages, often in rhyme and adorned with or namental or grotesqno devices, is a very anoient one. Traces of the oustom have been de teoted among the observances of the northern pagents of ancient Europe, thence it is not probable that the tradi tion asorlbed its origin to a commem oration of the loving and charitable disposition of St. Valentine is the true origin of the observance. Death of firs. Shultz. Mrs. Josephine Shultz,widow of the lata Joseph Shultz, died Monday morning, at 11:80 o clock, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Arthnr M. Die- Irioh, 414 Clinroh street. Death was due to general debility, induoed by an attaok of pneumonia. She had been ailing for many years but had only been confined to her bed since Wed nesday of last week. The deceased was born in Germany Sit years ago. Over half a century ago she oaoie to America and located at Marietta, Pa. Five years later the family removed to Danville. Mr. Slioltz died a year ago. For 85 years ha was employed as gardener by the late Thomas Beaver. Mrs. Shultz is survived by one son and two daught ers— William A- Shnltz, Mrs. William 0. Williams and Mrs. Arthur M. Die trioh. p«st Df. Geprge Mingina will conolnde bit work at ilie Eaiat Eud Mission thin evening. The final meeting will com mand* at 7:80. All are invited. It is •ipaoially desi ted that all who havo enjoyed the Doctor's preaohiug bo pre lent at thli closing service. [FALSE ECONOMY IS A BAD POLICY The Rumsey Company will, in a very short time, complete the work of constructing the munioipal eleotrlo light plant. The engine and dynamo are in place, only a few poles remain to be set aud a little wire strong. Af ter that there is only left unfinished, the plating in position the awitoh hoards and the wire cooneotiona neces sary to start the maohinery and tnrn on the current. Then the Ramsey Con struction Company, having fnlfllled all the requirements of the oontraot between itself and the Boroogh of Danville, so far as known, steps down and out. Its responsibility ends when once the Borough aooepta and asaamea control of the plant. If any mistakos have been made re garding the setting of the poles or the stretching of wires, it will be too late thou to fall back on the Constrnotion Company for redress. In fact its a lit tle late iu the day to think of that at this stage of the proseedinga. But if mistakes have been made, now ia the time to remedy them. When au individual or a firm, con tracts witli a builder to erect a ooatly building he does not permit that build er togo ahead and do the work ac cording to his own ideas of the plans and specifications before him. Not that he dou't think hiin honest or oap able, but because he wants to feel as sured that not the slightest.mistake will be made in the constrnotion of the buildiug from the basement to the roof. So, to prevent anything like that occurring, he ha* the arohiteot who drew the plans and speoifioations, ever on the watch to prevent any mis takes being made. There is an inspector on all contraot work in the larger oities, to paa* upon tho work beiug done by the contract or. Thrso rner are generally paid good salaries by the municipalities employ ing thetn, but in return they save the cities mauy thousands of dollars by preventing mistakes being made that later, the authorities would have had to rectify at their own expeuse. Cheap economy iu many instances becomes rather an expensive luxury. To save a little expense the authori ties of Danville have not had an in speotor to oversee the work being done by the Rumsey Coustruotion Company. It may cost the Borough dearly. There was au indication of what might ooonr iu that direction at tlie meeting of Council on Friday night. Council may even now when the plant is nearly completed, save the Borough much unnecessary expense. It behooves the authorities to employ their Electric Light Superintendent or some practioal eleotrician aa soon a? possible. Rushtown Citizen Badly Injured. Clmrles A. Gnlick, a well known resident ot Kashtowu, was thrown from a sleigh, while in thiaoity yester day afternoon, and serioualy injured. Mr. Guliok liad driven to Danville to make Bome purchases. He intended laior to meet liis daughter at Sooth Danville who was to arrive on the 2 :81 Pennsylvania train. While driving in the riar of Doster's farnitnre store one of the runners struck the corner of the building. Stir. Guliok was thiowu from the sleigh,striking his head with great force on the frozen ground. Some employes in Jaooba' bakery seeing the aocident harried to Mr. Gulick's assistance. They fouurt him unconscious and carried him into the store, where Dr. Pauieswas immediate ly summoned. The injured man re gained consciousness after a while, but remained in a helpless condition and suffered greatly from the shock. Later in the aftornoon Drs. Paules and DeWitt made an examination. They found no broken bones, although it is possible that complications may de velop. Good Prospects for Base Ball. Already the fans are anxiously in quiring about tho baseball prospects in Danville next summer and are hope fully looking forward to the enjoy, ment of some flue games as soon aa the local ball tossers come oat of their winter qaarterss. The baseball season in Danville last summer was a failure. The attendance at the games was small owing to the fact that the ball park was separated from the fans by the broad Saaqae hauna. It was something of an un dertaking togo to a ball game ander such circumstances. This summer, however, things will be different. The bridge will be fin ished, aud people wili.be pleased to atteud games. Possiblyjeven a trolley line to the South side will be in op eration before the summer ia o»er. Then, too, the many improvements at DeWitt's Park will make tbat place more attractive than ever. Iu all the prospects are bright for a good baseball season. Danville has the players aud the gtounda, and the people seem to be anxious to aee the game palyed here. nartha Washington Te^. The Laaies' Auxiliary of tiie Tf. M. 0.

IT WAS A Dlffl_ PLUNGE Martin Powers, one of the iron work ers employed in constructing the new bridge, met with a serious and proba bly fatal, acoident yesterday morning, by falling a distance of 88 feet and landing on tlie ice,which at that point is about 10 inches thick. The aocideut occurred at about 10:30 o'clock, near the first pier from this Bide of the river. Powers was assist ing in adjusting the heavy iron floor Joists. In some manner lie lost his balance and fell backward, and in at tempting to reoover himself, stepped into a hole between two planks. He slipped swiftly through the opening, bat managed to grasp the planks with both hands after his body was under neath the bridge. There he remained suspended in mid-air for a few sec onds, calling for assistance. His fel low workmen rushed to his aid. The first to teach hint was Galen Morgan, Superintendent uf construction, and as he stooped down with the view of olntching the imperiled man, the lat ter's hold ou the planks gave way, causing him to drop downward with lightning speed. He landed on the ioe ou hiß stomach. For the space of several minutes after his diz zy plnnge he did not move a mus cle, causing those who had witnessed Che appalling soene from the shore to oonolude that he had been iustantly killed. A moveineut of the prostrate man later revealed that life was not yet extinct, but the nature and exteut of his injuries remained to be learned. The bridge meu hurried down lad ders, and spectators rushed from the ■hore. When they reached Mr. Pow ers' aide he had regained conscious ness, but was in a dazed condition aud appeared to be suffering muoh pain. He was placed on a plauk and carried to shore. From there he was conveyed in a sleigh across the river to tho Sus quehanna House, where he boards,and Drs. Newbaker and Barber were sum moned. The physioians made an ex amination, and strango to say, fonud no broken bones or anything of the kind, with the exoeptiou of a probablo fracture of one of the left ribs. Of that they were not sure, aud will be unable to decide fully until later. When the examination was beiug made Mr. Powers was suffering great ly from the shock. He also sus tained a slight cut near his nose, aud the phyaioians feared that he had been ' severely injured Internally. Thiß will not reveal itself for several days. An examination at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, showed a slight improve ment of the action of the heart. Otli erwlte hia condition was unoliauged, and he continued in the same state the remainder of the day. Mr. Powors is a resident of Owego, N. Y., aud is about 80 years of age. At 8 o'olook Drs. Newbaker aud Barber again visited Powers. He was very comfortable and had reoovered uioely from the shock, muoh better thau was expected. His condition, though, was still oritical and his chanoes for recovery nnoertain. rirs. Gotwalds Painfully Injured. About 7 o'olock Saturday evening, Urs. F. M. Qotwalds, 13 West Mahon ing street, met with an accident that might easily have resnltod more ser iously. She was at the rear of her home, in the aot of raising the outside oellar doors, and when in a stooping position a large ioicle fell from the eave of the house and struck hor on the side of the head, cutting a gash. Mrs. Gotwalds made her way into the house and Dr. (Jurry was summon ed, who upon examination iound an ogly aoalp wound. It had beou made by a glancing stroke. Had the icicle ■truck her on top of the head it would, doubtless, have peiietrated the ■kull aud caused instant death. Tho present wound, would probably have been more sveere had not Mrs. Got walds' heavy roll of hair protected tier to some extent. She was resting com fortably yesterday afternoou consider ing the painfulness of the wound. Death of firs. Michael Etters. Mrs. Michaol Etter. West Market street, died yesterday morning at 2 o'olook at the Mary M. Packer Hospit al, Sunbury, where she was removed for treatment Tuesday afternoon.
