SYSTEM NEARLY t COMPLETED The new sewer system at the Hospit al for the Insane installed by Sweigard o & Company of Philadelphia for the t purpose of disposing of the sewage on 1 the Hospital grounds is rapidly ap- 1 proachlug completion and has already « been tested in part. * Work began last September aud siuoe I then has beeu pushed along as rapidly i as possible. John Riegliug, a repre sentative of Sweigard & Company,who I has had charge ot the work from its beginning, was seen at the Heddens House yesterday. He gave a full de scription of the work accomplished as well as what yet remains to be done. By far the heaviest part of the proposi tion was the excavating required for the pipe and on this brauoh of the work a large number of men,frequent ly as many as 75, were employed The system requires 1500 feet of 15-inch sewer pipe; 1700 feet of 6-inoh iron pressure pipe and upwards of 1500 feet of other pipe 2 to 6 inches iu diameter. The work of laying pipe was done dur ing the winter and Mr. Riegling ex plained that the freezing conditions in stead of proving a detriment to excava tion aided in its accomplishment. Many of the trenohes, he said, were seventeen feet deep aud the constant freezing as the trenohes sank kept the sides firm and solid so that cribbing was not needed. The system iB now so nearly com pleted that it can be used as far as the distributing reservoir. It haß already been given a trial up to as far as that point aud afler Thursday.which is the date that the trustees hold a meeting, it will be thrown into regular servioe. The part of the system not yet com pleted is that which relates to the fin al disposal of the sewage over the land as fertilizer. The distributing pipes leading out from the reservoir are al ready in position in the open treuches. What yet remains to he done is to till ap the treuches, whioh cannot be ac complished so as to make a satisfactory job of it until the frost leaves the ground. At present the trenches are still nearly full of snow. While it may be several weeks be fore the last touches are put upon the trenohes the Bystem is praotioally com pleted and iugoocl working order. Mr. Riegling expects to leave for home at the olose of the preseut week. The system employed which was tal ly described in an article in these col umns last fall, was installed for the purpose of diverting the sewage of the Hospital from the Susquehauua, where it was regarded as the source of great pollution and a menace to the health of Danville and other towns lower down the river which use the water for drinking purposes. Fighting: for a Principle. There are few persons capable of reailing who do uot feel ami manifest a great interest in the decisive and ap palling straggle going on between the Japs and Russians at Mukden, which in poiut of uumburs engaged and the killed and wounded surpasses nuy of the battles recorded sinco history be gan. The interest of the average ma" and woman in the conflict, however, Is not to be compared with the keen mental excitement of ono resident of Danville.n Russian by birth, who serv. Ed four years in the Russian army. This is I. Stein, who has charge of the shoe repairing establishment on Mill street, whose experience in the Army of the Czar was described in these oolouins some months ago. "What did I tell yon; I told yon ao!" said the little Rassian as li' met a newsman on the street yesterday. "I said the Japs would defeat the Russian." That tiny woold lick 'em hard." The ex-soldier of the Czar in the former interview drew a dismal piot ure of Russian injustice toward its own subjeots, of greel and graft as praoticed in the Army and the deep rooted discontent which permeates not only the rank and tile bat affects the oflloertt of all ranks as well. As against the Japs he ooaldu't see that the Rus sians had any chances to win. How well subsequent developments have borne oat his propheoy are well proven by the Associated Press dispatches of yesterday and previously, whioh show that the Japs hold the winning card. Mr. Stein admits that the Russians are wonderful fighters and in the clash of arms are capable of rising equal to almost any emergency,bat smarting as they are under injustice and sullen with discontents* a mass lie holds that they are no match for the well-tteat ed, the serene and disciplined army of the Mikado, whioh is fighting for a prinoiple. The raiu of Tuesday night and yes terday revealed a good many defeots in drainage about towu. At places on Mill street, the water stood several inches deep on the sidewalk. Such places, however, oocnr only where the street paving last fall was oompleted too late to permit the relaying of the sidewalk to conform with the new grade. In all cases, however, as soon as spring opens evorythiug will be fix ed in good shape. The paved street will be cleaued and the sidewalks leveled up so as to permit free drain age in times of rain. The anthracite coal companies in tend to mine 6,500,000 tons of coal in March it weather conditions permit. The snow banks at the collieries have already begun to disappear and the aoiuiug month is expected to be a rec ord breaker. The charges against the Northumber land coonty jury commissioners for con tempt and improperly drawiug a jury list were heard before Judge Savidge Monday and he entirely exonerated the commissioners from all blame. In a few days not only Oity Hull bnt the four engine houses, which ion atltute Borough property, will be wir ed and lit up by the municipal light plant. Thus Council hopes to cut out one impoitaut item of the Borough's expense acoount. If you'trim your shade trees they will not miss later the foliage tliev low now. HORSE AND BUGGY WERE STOLEN Liveryman C. 0. Moyer thought that one of his best horses together with a baggy and harness liad been stolen bnt Monday the on tfit was recovered in a most unexpected way. The horse and buggy were hired on Saturday evening by a yonng man named Fox from Berwick for the parposo of driv ing out to the farm of Noah Stomp. He did not return Saturday night, but Sunday moruiug the liveryman was called up by 'phone from the Oak Tree Hotel and informed that the horse and buggy were mining and that Mr. Fox was prosecuting a »ea:ch for the outfit. About 10 o'clook Sunday Mr. Fox himself put ill an appearauoe in Dan ville and told the following story: While driving out Mill street Saturday evening, he said, he was stopped by a tall young man of pleasing address who asked which way he was going. He replied: "Iu the direction of Oak Grove." The stranger tlieu asked per mission to ride along, explaining that he was employed at the Hospital for the Insane and that he was ou his way to Washingtonville. He was given a seat in the baggy and soon proved an interesting aud congenial companion. Arriving at the Oak Tree Hotel in Val ley township at the stranger's invita tion Mr. Fox stopped and had some li quid refreshments. After a short stop they continued their journey. Soon after Mr. Fox says he lost consciousness aud all was a blank uutll he fouud himself minus horn' and baggy back in the neighbor hood of the Oak Tree Hotel. Gaily Sunday morning he caused a message to be sent in by 'phone telling of the loss of the horse and buggy, after which he spent several hours in a pain staking but fruitless search. He was inclined to the opinion that the strang er had plaued knock out drops in the boverage he had imbibed at the Oak Tree Hotel and had made off with the horse aud buggy. Inquiries were at onoe telephoned all over the neighborhood, bat it was impossible to gain a single clew. Mr. Moyer 5 ester Jay became pretty well convinced that the outfit had beeu stolen. Eugoue Moyer and James Frame started off ill a search for the missing horse aud buggy, but they were iecov ered in another way. Charles Ruckle, R. F D. carrier on the route which takes in Oak Grove ou his return to town Monday after uoon brought news of the missing property. The horse aud buggy were found Suuday morning standing iu the barn yard on the small farm of Mrs. Mary Miller, sitaaied ou one of the less frequented roads some three miles west of the Oak Tree Hotel. The night, it will ho recalled, was very oold aud the wheels of the buggy were frozen fast in the mud,indicating that the horse had wandered into the hnru yard early in the night before the ground yet had frozen. The horse much the worse for his exposure was pat in to the stable and fed. They had no way of finding oat to whom the outfit belonged until tho appearance of the mail oarrier Mouday. O. C. Moyer at once left for the Miller*farm Mon day afternoon to bring home the horse and veliiole. I'he young man from the Hospital whom the Berwick man lost with the horse aud carriage has not been heard from up to date. | Big Saving Contemplated. The Borough Council contemplates effecting a big saving in the lighting of the streets by runniug on what is called a moonlight schedule. It is im possible to secure a contract of this kind from most light coupames, but now that the Borough owns its own plant it will be in u position to say whether it shall run or stand idle. There are several nights ol each month, approximating a week, when the streets of every towu are much Better lighted op by the moon than by any system of lighting that can be devised by man. There is at least another week when during a poriou of the night, either in the first or last half, the moon gives excellent service to humanity By taking advantage of these intervals it is believed that the cost of fuel and the wear and tear of machinery might be reduced one-fourth. Tho matter has not been fully considered by Council, but it will oome up for final action in the near future. A new nozzle for the Continental Fire Company has baen reoeived at City Hall from James Boyd and Com pany of Philadelphia of whom the Borough recently pnroliased 1000 feet of Eureka hose. The nozzle is of the most improved type. The opening, however one and one-eighth inch in diameter, was larger than desired and the tip has been returned with the un derstanding that it will be exchanged for a smaller ooe of threo-fourth of an inch. In a few days the Continental boys will receive the new nozzle com plete. Constables Are Angry. The Northumberland County Com missioners, acting uuder tho advice of Solicitor Lark, have refused to pay the ooustables for advertising the last election until they can examine the law folly. Heretofore, the constables have been paid two dollars each. The oonstables threaten to bring suit unless they are paid in the near future. New Manager. E G Matteer, of Lebanon,will suc ceed John P. Conwav as Manager of the Bloomsburg Exchange of the Penn sylvania Telephone Company. Mr. Conway takes charge of the Scranton Exchange. Bloomsburg is iu the same district as Danville aud Berwick. Eighteen carloads of horses and oth or animals belonging to Baruum & Bailey's show that wore iu winter quarters at Sheridan, Montgomery county, were shipped to Bridgeport, Cono.. last week. National Encampment. The national encampiuei:t of the Sons of Veterans w.'ll be hel<l at Get tysburg on the week of September I 18th. WELCOMED IN JHE CHURCH The several weeks of revival service and the steady and aggressive eflort pat forth by the pastor, Kev. John Sherman, at the First Baptist ohorch has born very good frnit aud at the morning service Sunday seventeen yonng people received the hand of Christian fellowship. The new inembers.all of whom were nnder thirty aud the majority of whom were nnder twenty yeats, were receiv ed by baptism during the last tiro months. The services welooming them into the clinrch Suuday, during which the Lord's Supper was observ ed, was most impressive thoughout. Rev. Sherman pleached an appropriate sermon, fouuded on the Bth and 9t)i verses of the third chapter of Acts: "Aud lie leapiug np stood aud walked aud entered with them into the temple, walking aud leapiug aud praiaiug Qod and all the people saw him walking aud praising Uod." The Soriptures were very aptly ap plied in the sermon. A saved person is in the position of the lame man of the text in thut he is healed in the name of Jesus. Like the lame man he ought to be joyful and to nee his new strength and devote his new life 10 praising Qod; also he ought to show this to the world. The members of the First Baptist church aie tnaoh gratified at the show ing made along all liues. Flattering as was the accession to membership yesterday there are still more converts waitiug for baptism. Rev. Sherman has been in charge of the congregation less than a year aud uot only lias a growth of the member ship aud an increase of spiritual lite marked his labors but the oongregation has prospered financially, meeting all its obligations aud paying off some . floating debts. NEW MACHINERY MAKES FINE RECORD The engine ana dynamo of the new electriu light plant stood the strain ol the first night's operation iu a most remarkable manlier and WHB something of a surprise eveu to those iu charge. New machinery does uot ulwavs do so well. From the time the load was put on Tuesday eveuiug uutil daylight yes terday morning, eleven hours and a half,the new engine and dynamo went plodding along without all) variation | at the rale of two hundred aud fifty seven revolutirns per minute. The , j plant is certainly a beauty audit is , gratifying that the new machinery has | I made suoli a flue record ou the initial ' night. Loafing about the light plant is not enoouraged, and outsiders are general ly exuluded from tlie apaitmeut con taining engine, dynamo aud switch board. At the same time after the plant is started rightly all persons who wish to witness the operation of the maohiuery and present themselves at the Water Works for that purpose will he very courteously shown through the plant. A good main' parsons dropped in at the plant last evouing aud Tues day evening, but they were held op in the boiler room aud were obliged to content themselves with wliat they could see from a distance.

Cu this acooont the price of admission will be 25 ceuts to ull. Many of the states seem determined to make war on consumption, and the hope is general that good results will follow. A MAT^OF HEALTH POWDER Absolutely Pure HAS HO SUBSTITUTE EXTENSION OF JHB TROLLEY A short time ago a charter was grant ed by the state departmeut at Harris burg to the Northumberland Cotfoty Traction Company, the purpose of whioh la to extend the Lewisbarg,Mil ton and Watsontown trolley line from East Lewisbarg lo Northumberland, via Uontandon. At that point it will conneot with the Sonbary and North nmberland road, which will give Mil ton and the Upper End direct connec tions with the county scat. When tlio Danville and Sonbary line aud Farm er Snip's Sliamokin extensiou aro com pleted to Sunbury, as they arn likely to be this summer, we will have direct trolley communication with Danville, Bloomsburg, Berwick, Shamokin, Mt. Oariuel, and Ashland. Superintendent Mountuey is now engaged in securing the right of way in Olitllisquaque and Point townships, aud the proapeot so far as the work his gone is wont en couraging Work on the line will be oommenoed as soon as the right of way has been seonred and will be pushed rapidly to completion. It iB expected to have the road flufshed And in good running order (l6fort) fair tiwp. This extensiou nqceqaiuye large raent of jne power bouse and the in stallation of additional power and machinery. A new car barn will have to be built, which will cover the entire lot owned by the company on Locust street,where the preseut baru is looat e'd. The small cars now in use will give place to large double truck card, and the nnmber will be inoreased by at least Bix.

Cost of County Courts. The Dauville Morning News points out the cost of the countv court held there this week. There were five com monwealth cases, which oost the coun- I ty $176.36. an average of about thirty | five dollars eaoh. The grand jurors cost 9136.32 aud the traverse jurors |160.36. constables returns cost 112 17.50 aud oriers and tipstaves cost sl6 60 for the week.

We have not the figures at oar com mand bat we imagine it ooats this county from {3,000 to (5,000 a week tJ conduct a criminal coart, and it is muoh less now tliau before Judge Savidge's recent ruling, that lopped off a big item of oosti in dismissed cases.—Milton Standard. TWO ALARMS OF F.RE There were two alarms of ire Tues day forenoon. Iu eaoh oase the blaze wan discovered to its inoipiency and the damage done was comparatively slight. The first alarm was sounded by the Friendship engine house about nine o'clock, the blaze occurring in the rectory of Christ Episcopal church. The Friendship hoys were promptly on the gronnd but there was some difficulty in locating and getting at the Are, which was behind tin wains coting directly under the chimney and was detected by the smoke which forc ed its way into the kitchen. The wainscoting was ripped off wheu au old-f tshioued fireplace was discov ered, which had been boarded over,the wainscoting on the inside beiug pro tected with tin. Soot had dropped down from the chimney above and in time formed quite an accumulation which Tuesday morning ignited from sparks which fell down fiom the pipe of the kitchen raugu. A few buckets of water sufficed to extinguish the fire and the damage done was slight. An effort was made to open tho fire plug uearby.but it was frozen or rasted fast aud the attempt had to be abandonee. About 11 o'clojk the secoud fire alarm was sounded. The blaze on this oc casion was locate I iu an out kitchen on the premises of .Tames Dailey, an ironworker, situated at the rear of the Grove Presbytorian church, along the P. & R. Railway track. The alaim was first sounded by a locomotive on the P. & R. track,whose prolonged whistle soon attracted at tention aud brought a oroffd to the spjt. The Good Will Hose Ooiup.iny was the first to arrive and soon had a stream of water on t!ie burning build ing. Tho Friendship boysairiveri noon altei.lnt hv that time the lire was un der coutrol.

To tell our readers how the coming of Easter is regulated would be at tempting to impart superfluous in formation, as most if not all of them may be supposed to know that it is governed by a certain stage of the inoon occurring after tiie 21st of March. There is no fixed date of the crucifix ion, but it is known to have been per petrated at the time of the full moou succeeding the vernal equinox, and so tfte B'riday alter the full moon that immediately follows the 21st of March has been acceptod as the crucial an niversary, with Easter two days after As the movement of the moon with ref erence to dates, is irregular, the date of Easter must necessarily b; irregular and therefore among church people it is included among the movable feasts. But it may not be known to all of our readers that Easter,this year,com ing ou the 23rd of April, will come within two days of beiug the latest it possibly cau be. It has a range of 35 days upou which it oau fall, the ear liest beiug March 22, and the latest April 25. Iu 1818 it fell ou March 22, but can not do so again until the yeai 2285. Iu 1886 Easter fell ou April 25, the latest date possible. This had not ooourred since 1736,and will nit occur again until 1943, the only time in the twentieth contury, the next time be ing in 2088.
