BRIG6E APPROACH 1 ON SODTH SIDE ID response to the petition presented to the Court of Quarter Sessions of i Northumberland County by citizens of ; Gearhart township asking that the county bear the expense of building the road and the approaoh to the river bridge on the Sooth side a board of viewers has been appointed, who will meet ou the grouud next Saturday forenoon. Notioes to the above effect have been posted iu the vioinity of the river bridge, South Danville, signed by the viewers appointed,who areas follows: George F .Reefer, (Engineer) H. F. Mann and P. O. Oberdorf, all resi dent* of Sunbury, The time sot for the flew is 10:30 a. m. Saturday. March 18, 1905. The matter involved in the view is one whioh affeots the taxpayers of Gearhart township most vitally,as the aost of the exteusive filling up requir ed and the oonstiuctiou of the high re taining walls is estimated at not much i less than two thou-and dollars They take the view that this is too heavy a burden for the township to bear and that the county should come to there- j ■cue. Naturally, therefore,a good deal of interest centers on the view next Saturday and there is no end of con jecture as to what the outcome may be. The faot is stated that the portion of filling np and grading which legal ly devolves upon the county extends twelve feet further south than the two wing walls built iu connection with the new bridge. This of course, im plies the ereotiou of retaining walls ou each side for the above additional distance. Since this portion of the work will have to be done by theooun ty some think that the viewers may fall in with the iaea that the county ought to assume the whole expense. The greater part, if not all of the earth used, will have to be hauled down from Blue Hill or from some other points equally remote, whioh wilt add to the oost and prevent the work from proceeding very rapidly. If the approach Is not oompleted by the time that the bridge is open for trafflo it will at least be kept in a oondition that will make driving over it possible ■o that whatever problems may be pre sented there is nothing in, the aitua tioq. that would prevents free and an easy use of the bridge at the earliest possible date. Delightful Surprise Party. A delightful surprise party was giv eu last evening by Mr. aud Mrs. Web ster Foust. at their home on Front street, in honor of their daughter, Mabel's 10th birthday. A large num ber of friend* of the young lady gathered to participate in the festivi ties, and an excellent time was enjoy ed by all. During the evening a delicious sup per was served. In the oenter of the table was a large oake, sur mounted by ten candles. Miss Fonst was the reoipient of a number of beautiful gifts. Those present were: Katherine Moyer, Htliel Boat, Laura Wjant. Eleanor Wynne, May Morgan, Jennie Brent, Lucretia Berger, Mury Walker, Eth<l Hariug, Helen Arm", Gertrude Buckley, Edna Kuat, Helen Foust, Margaiet Fonst, Elmirs Mover, Eleanor Deutsch, Alice Waite,Ka her ine Lynn, Mary Lynn, Theresa Wag ner, Jessie Wyaiit,Pauline Waite, Mil dred Sidler.Anua Edmondson, Frances Harpel, Kutli Staptf, Lucy Detwiler, Nellie Goss, Lizzie Stewart, Lois Reif snyder.

Petitioning for Free Delivery. The people of South Danville and Riverside, are olroulatiug a petition asking the Post Offloe Department to establish free delivery of mail in those two places. The residents on the South aide obtain tbeir mail from the Riv erside Post Office. They resent the idea, however, of being obliged to re oeive their mail in the old-fashioned way in the present progressive times and regard themselves a little worse off than the scattered inhabitants of the rural districts,who have their mail delivered at their doors daily by the R. F. D. oarriers. This 1B the way they look at it. What view the Post Office Department may take of the matter will develop later. A free delivery in oonueotion with the Riverside Post Office Is said to be out of the qoestiou, unless that offloe be made a sub-station to the Dan ville Post Offloe. Some arc of the opin ion that free delivery for South Dan ville and Riverside if granted at all oould only be maintained in connec tion with the Danville Poßt Office. Whatever the ultimate outcome may be the movement seems popular. Last evening the petition had about a hun dred signers. Lehigh University Register. The Register of Lehigh University, Sooth Bethlehem, Pa., just issued, oopies of whioh may be had on ap plication, shows the attendance of 630 students from 34 States and 8 foreign oouutries, the largest In the history of the institution. There are 56 in the teaching st »ff. 370 of the students are from Pennsylvania. 18 four-year courses of instruction are offered at the University: the Classical Course, the Latin Scientific, Course,the course* iu Civil, Mechani cal, Marine, M> t tllurgioal, Mining, Eleotrlcal and Chemical Engineering, Analytical Chemistry,Geology.Physi - os.and Electrometallurgy. - A list of graduates of the University, with their present ooaupatious, 1399 in number duriug the 89 years of its ex latenoe, indicates that this institution is exerting a marked influence on the industrial developmnt of the United States and of foreign oouutries. Provision is made for worthy and needy students whereby they may post pone payment of toition until after graduation. WILL BE POSHED TOJMPLET.ON People who have occasion to use the new State Highway between Danville and Mauadale, which had lain all win ter in au unfinished state, will be glad to learn that the work is at out to be resumed and carried speedily to com pletion. The road, naturally bad in the Spring of the year, with recon struction at its present stage, has not been mo eh improved and people are heard to oomplain about it daily. The work, whioh was begun toward the latter part of last Summer,seemed to proceed very slowly. The principal part of the work seemed to lie in the gradiug. There was an immense amount of cutting and filling required to level op aud straighten the high way as required by the plans. When winter set in the grading was complet ed aud the six-inch course of crushed cinder was applied from ODeendof the road to the other. In this oondition, with the bare cinder exposed, the road has lain all winter. When the suow was deep aud the sleighing was good but little annoy auce was caused by the cinder, but now the road from oue end to the oth er is bare of snow and it shows up in bad shape. The Maryland Construction Com pany,whioh lias the coutract.has writ teD onto Danville to learn what con dition the road is in and has stated that a representative of the company will be on hand iu a few days to pre pare to resume the work. Nothing more requires to be done than to apply the three inches of trap rook, called for by the contract, which will con sist of two courses, oue being two inolies thick of oue and a half inch rook and the other one inch of fine screenings. This last course will be subjected to heavy pressure under a road roller. If the company is able to oarry out its plans the road will be finished before May Ist. Talk of Coining Camp. Nothing is known as vet an to where the N. O. P. will camp uext hummer or io what order. Under the old scheme pursued in the years gone by the camps will be by brigade and the Third Brigade will in all probability 9fpP JM beautiful Mt. Gretna, bnt there has been considerable talk the past y+'ar about doing away with the brigade oarnps and of making Gettys burg a permanent camp ground that the members of the various regiments are up in the air in regard to the com ing tour. The state military board which picks out the date for the en campment, selects a site aud decides whether or not it will be by brigades or division lias not as yet held a meet ing aud until it does nothiug definite will be kuowu. If the matter were left to the members of the Third brigade with the privilege of voting on the question there is no doubt as to the verdict. It would be for brigade camps aud Mt. Gretua would be the place selected by eighty per oeut. of the boys. The indications are now that the Atmory bill and the Guard appropria tion bills will both pass the legislat ure. The former will eventually pro vide every commaud intliegu<trd with a state armory aud the latter will pay the running expenses of the guard for the next two years, which iuclude an appropriation for officers equipment. Plenty of Fish for Lent. Observers of Lent may well con gratulate themselves that lira season of fasting aud prayer is later this year thau usual, for if it had come a week earlier tiiere would not have been enoogli lish in the market to supply oue-fourth of the demand. As it is, Leut is here,and there Is fish in plenty due to the warm weather that prevail ed for the past week. Spring making its advent so early will soon fill the markets with prine fresh fish, displacing tho cold storage article. The early spring does not effect the prices of Halibut as it is not taken from domestio waters, aud is brought into this oonntiy in great quantities, and is preserved for use in cold stor age. All indications point to a much mild er March thau usual, so that the sup ply of fish may soon excoed the de mand iu that oase a much larger drop in price may be looked for. Surprise Party. A surprise paity was teudered Mr. and Mrs. Edward Shultz at their home near Boyd's Station, Saturday even ing. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs Reed and daughter Edith, Mr. and Mrs. Howard and sou Frank, Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy, Mr. and Mrs. Bogart, and daughters Nellie and Mary, Mr. and Mrs. Purpur and scus Earl, George and Arthur, Mr. and Mrs. Mensch, Mr. and Mrs. Caeliner, daughters Jen uie and Maggie and sous William, Walter and Edward, Mr. and Mrs. Barnliart, and daughters Ruth, Grace aud Rachel, Mr. and Mrs. MoFarlaud sons John, Stuart and Herbert and daughter Blauche, Mr. Deeter and son William, ueorge Woodruff, Clark . Meußch, Charles Whalen, George.Her bert and Edward Whalen, Edward Shultz, Clark, Orville, Thomas aud Ambrose Shultz, Misses Sara Shultz, Anua Mensch aud Lydia Whalen. A Lenten Attraction. The comiug engagement at the Dau ville theatre is of mora than ordinary interest to theatre goers, iuasuinoh as this, being the Lenten seasoa, it is difficult to attract to places of amuse ment those who hold strictly to tho re quisites of their various creeds "A Royal Slave" is a beautiful Christian story of Old Mexico, a scries of pic tures of life iu that country of romance. Ministers have been unauimous this seasou in exhorting their congrega tions togo and see the production of "A Royal Slave," benaose it savors more of the atmosphere o 112 the Chapel than the Theatre. It has not been an uncommon sight duriug this Lenteu seasou to s-e the stage boxo< entirely filled with clergymen of ell di nomina tions witnessing a performance of this morally uplifting drama. Its time now for the umpire to be gin developing bis voloe. WILL REM CANAL BRIDGE Among tire improvements in store for our town during the coming sum mer will be the removal of the canal bridge at Ferry street and the oon struotion of a culvert with ample wat er way to take its place. The Borough is responsible for the Ferry street bridge just as it was for the structure at Mill street by virtue of an agreement several years ago en tered into with the Pennsylvania Can al Com puny, whereby the Borough ob ligated itself to remove both these structnreß in cousideration of being giveu the ironwork, stone, etc., used in the structure. The bridge iB an un sightly old affair and is rapidly reaoh ■ug a limit when it will be no longer considered safe. In prosecuting its pnlioy of improvements Council can do no less than order its removal. The work will in all probability be entered upon coincidenr with the re suming of paving on Mill street, whioh will begin in a vtry short time. The intention seems to be to utilize the ground that is excavutid in fi ling up the culvert built to replace the bridge. The paving will require a great deal nf excavating, betwi en the Montour Hous'i and the river bridge but the gronnd can all be conveniently dispos ed of at the culvert. The idea is to build a culvert like the oue at Church street, without any side or rotaiuing wa'ls, merely laying three-foot iron pipe in the bottom of the canal and dumping the earth and stone in npon it, filling up to the en tire width of the street.

PETERSBURG, March 15.—At a conference of government officials yesterday regarding & revision of the laws regulatiug the presß, article 140 was discussed at length. This article gives the minister of the interior the power of foi bidding the discussion in the press of affairs of state. It was decided to nholish the atticlo and replaoe it with a regulation sim ilar to that whioh in Germany, which authorizes the government iu time of war or peril to the empire,to limit the liberty of the press. ST. PETERSBURG. March 15. Prince Khiloff, minister of publio works, and railways, in an interview on the subject of peaoe being declared, said : "Personally, 1 would be glad to see the end of the war, but peaoe is Im possible. Since we have received Gen eral Kuropatkin's telegram relative to the situation there is no reason for alarm. "The question of peace oould be solved by tho Zemsky Sobor but this will not be sumuioued soon." ST. PETERSBURG, March 16. Il is reported that Grand Duke Nicholas Nlcolaievitnh has beeu appointed com luandor-in-nhiet of the Munohuria to succeed General Kuropaktiu, witli General Soukhoruliucff as chief of staff. WASHINGTON, March 15,-Miuist er Criseomb at Tokio, reports to the Senate department that the two Amen ian military attaches wiio w ra cap tured with the Russians at Mukden, will be brought to Tokio. They nr Colonel Val rey Harvard, of the Med ical Corps, and Ciptaiu W. V. Judson of the engineers. Mr. Grisooiub adds that a despatch to him Judson stateß that they are both well aud are receiving every possible cour- the Japanese. The two officers will probably bo sent home on their word of honor not to rejoin tho Russian forces. l-or a New riileage Book. Mr. Creasy, of Columbia oount.v, iu troduaed in the house a bill,which, if passed, will sweep to one side the pres ent mileage on railroads aud levolu tionize the two-ceuts-per-mile travel, as now obtains within Peuusylvania. Railroad companies must issue and sell upon demund the mileage books as prescribed by law,but by far the most important feature of the measure is that which provides that such a book shall be aocepted as passage for the persou presenting it,aud shall be good until used, there being no time limit allowed to be fixed upon it. 4 The rate whioh is now charged by the railroads on suoli books, two cents per mile, is to remain as it is. Every book must oontniu one thousand miles' passage—one thousand coupons each coupon good for one mile of travel be tween statioua at which the train on which tiie book is prasented is schedul ed to stop. | The book must be aocepted by the conductor, from tho holder, any mem ber of his firm, or ageut thereof, any member of his family, or any person who presents it. Should any of tiie provisious of the act be violated, eacli aud every offl -er and director of the guilty company must pay to the State a Hue of 13000 and undergo an imprisonment of nine months. For the purpose of the act, tho crimes will be judged to have beeu committed in the county where the offense occurred. • May Resume Operations. There are rumors to the effect that the puddle mill co»neoted with the Structural Tubing Works formetly op erated by Howe & Samuel is about to resume. One of the firm owning the mill yesterday stated that nothing as yet was finally determined upon and whether the puddle mill would start up or otherwise would not bo known until some time later. This is ilie slaok time of the year for the looal exptess companies. The uext rush will occur about Easter ti«n«. FUNERAL OF SAMUEL HDBER Samuel Huber, whoso death on the railroad took place at Punxsutawney 00 Wednenday, was consigned to the grave at Mt. Vernon cemetery,oo San day afternoon. The (nneral, which took place from the residence of Mrs. Mary Huber, mother of the deceased, Riverside, was very largely attended, a large number of people from a dis tance being present. The doceaaed issnrvived by a wife and all the circumstances of his death were extremely tragio and sad. He was employed as a flagman on the Buffalo, Rochester aud Pittsburg Rail road. On Wedue-day evening about 5 :80 o'olock lie iesponded to a oall and was assisting to make op his train when he met his death. No one wit nessed the accident, but it seems clear enough that tlio deceased, who was on the top of a house car.whioh was very icy, lost his footing and fell under the wheels. His body a few minotes after WHS found by the conductor of the train. The injuries inflicted were of a fatal natnro and death w s instantane ous. The accident ooonrred immediate ly in front of Huber's own home. Following were the pall bearers at the fuueral yesterday: A. H. Stokes aud R. R. Williams, representing Local No. Brotherhood of Rail road Trainmen, of Punxsutawney; I. F. Fry ami John D. Hoover, Tribe No. 205, Improved Order of Redmeu, | Punxsutawney; Charles Qetz and 1 David Reese, Beaver Lodge, No. 13a, Knights of Pythias, Danville. The fuueral services were conducted by Rev. John Sherman, pastor of the First Baptist Church, of Danville. Several beautilul selectious were ren dered by the choir of the Baptist olinroh. Tlio floral tributes were very flue Godcharles' Pure Water Bill. Senator Uodohailes has not been too soon in introducing a bill for the pro tection of stroams aud ponds fri m pol lution by factories The bill is strong ly recommended by Fish Commission er Meehan, but thi) controlling reasou for the enactment of such a measure is the health of humau beings. If the fish were exterminated it would be nio-t unfortunate, bnt it would not be disastrous. If the people of every towu inu-t drink polluted water or establish their own filtration plants the result will bo an appalling in crease of sickness or a vast expense to the taxpayers. New York City ha? powers for the protection of the sources of its water supply that are refused to Philadel phia. New York has condemned wat ersheds many miles from itH limits; has moved uot only occasional houses but villages and cemeteries, aud has ample authority to prevent the con tamination of its drinking water. Philadelphia has beou obliged t> goto very great espouse to construct filters because ot the pollution of the Schuyl kill. Much of this pollution is caused by towns further up the river,and this would not bo remedied by the God charles bill. But about a year ago au inspection of our water supply disclos ed a factory discharging quantities of foul into the river from which Philadelphia fill 4 its mains,and it was held that the city was poweiless. Its officials could not even gain access to the premises to make a thorough study of the case. The Godcliarles bill provides for the payment by the state of half the cost of constructing such dams, filter beds or orlior devices as the State Board of Health may deem necessary to prevent Tlie waste from the factories from pol luting the pouds or streams. This is liberal to the owners of the plants. It is alisolutily necessary for the future population of this state, irrespective of the interests of fishermen, tiiat the streams and ponds should be kept pure. —Philadelphia Record.

Will iam McOoy addressed the meeting on the subject: "Should bachelors be taxed for their condition," and Mr. Seehlcr gave a talk on "Bioyoliug." j The question for debate was, Re- ' solved,that a course in physical train- | iug should be given as much attention as the regular studies. Mesns. Drei- [ fu«s, Armes »ud Spaide upheld the afflrmative.and Messrs. Kvaus, Schoch and U. Jacobs sustained the negative. ' The judges, Me<srs. McClure, Hoot-cr and Ortli rendered ttieir deoi.-iou in favor of the affirmative. Birthday Party. Mrs. George Hoffman entertained a uumber of little folks at her home, D.

The legislature will have to do some ' hustling if it 1b to get through by the 1 middle of April. i JUDGMENT LNT EREDJ AWARDS The report of the viewers appointed to assess damages sustained by the foar Mill street properties by reason of the change of grade was confirmed absolutely by the Court yesterday. As a next seep judgment was entered on the awards, from which the Boroagh will file its appeals in clue time. The awards as rendered by the jury iu the Mill street damage cases are as follows: Sperring property, $554; Frances Hartmau property, $f»00; Schuster property, $850; Ella Cousart estate, $175. Iu entering judgmeut for verdict s2l? were added in each case for costs. The Borough Council bases its ap peal on the ground that the damages ard excessive. The next step of course will be trial by jury. Iu the present case a peculiarity exists in the fact that the property owuers as well as the Borough Council is dissatisfied with the award. Neither side agreeing with the viewers, a court trial would seem to be about the only means of settliug the matter. A great deal of formality remains to be complied with. Issues will first havo to be formulated,after which the cas B will be regularly pnt ou list for trial iu Court of Quarter Sessions. It is hardly likely that the cases will be ready for trial iu May. Y. n. C. A. Notes. The secretaries aud physical direct ors of the Young Men's Christiau As sociations of North America have in vited specialists outside of their org auization to make a study of their method?, for six months and critioize them without favor at their comiug annual meeting at Niagara Falls. These men will come at the Associa tion's methods from differing points of view and give criticism to the weak features of the management and sug gestions for improvement and adapta tion of their methods to benefit more men. Prof. Graham Taylor, head of the Cliioago Commons, and professor iu McOormick Theological Seminary,and Luther Halsey (iulick.M. D., direotor of physical traiuing o? the New York publio schools, will consider the As sociation's social aspects, Dr. Gulick investigating especially the Associa tion's efficiency iu reaching all sorts of men. President King, of Oberlin College, will examine its methods of biblical instruction, aud the eminent psychol ogist, President G. Stanley Hall, of Clark University, its religions work. The educational service of the in stitution will be investigated by Hon. Carroll D. Wright, ex-Commissioner of Labor,and Prof. Starr Cad wallader, Superintendent of Education of De troit. Mr. James E. Sullivan,the secretary of the Amateur Athletio Union, will criticize its athletic departmeut. aud the leading uuiversity instructor in physical educatiou will look into its methods of physical training. Mr. Ernest H. Abbott, of the edi torial staff of the Outiook, is makiug au independent study of the movement for a series of articles lu the Outlook, to appear after the conference. He is an exp'rt student at first hand of so cial aud religious conditions. Dr. James M. Buckley, the editor of The Christian Advocate, will discuss the efficiency of the Association, as viewed from the standpoint of the Church. The Association office management aud accounting is to receive attention from Mr. G. F. C. Houghton, a busi ness expert of Chicago, and the busi ness administration from the stand point of memoership extension will be treated by the circulation mauager of the Poiladelphia Record. Oue of the advertising experts of the country, Mr. C. T. Olmsted, of the Niagara Pure Food Company,will tell "How I Would Advertise the Young Men's Christian Association." The executive committee of the As sociation Employed Officers' Society, of which Mr. Lyman L. Pierce, of Washington, is secretary,expects from these unhampered studiass to bring to the managers of the Associations prac tical suggestions and fair nritioi«m which will be vastly helpful in enabl ing the Association* to improve their service to an increasing number of men. The critics are given a free haud and requested to"go to the bottom" of the Association's methods, with the aim of securing the largest possible benefit to the organization from their studies. A Good Idea. The W9st Chester trolley company has had all its conductors and motor men sworn in as police officers to pre serve order in and on their cars, and the result is that the traveling public is saved much aunoyance and incon venience from the men under the in fluence of liquor or wiio are disorder ly. Date of Inspection Changed. Company F will be inspected Men day evening, March 27th, instead of March 29th, as heretofore stated. Ow ing to this change in the date of the inspection, drill will be held Friday aud Saturday evenings of this week. A full attendance will materially help the rating of the compauy. A MATTER OF HEALTH MAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure HAS HO SUBSTITUTE I COMMITTEE VISITS DANVILLEHOSPITAL [ Continued from First Page. | much in earnest and so that no time might be lost Architect Johnson, of Philadelphia, was brought along, who ia to prepare plans aud superintend the construction of the temporary build ings.be having beeu already employed for this work under a special resolu tion recently adopted by the Commit tee. Sergeant at Arms Smith to whose courtesy the Intelligencer represent ative is indebted for much valuable information relative to the subject in hand, stated that it ia a fact quite noteworthy that the present Legisla ture ia impressed as no previous Leg islature has been with the deplorable state of affairs doe to overcrowding in the several hospitals as well as the necessity on the part of the State of adopting a liberal polioy in dealing with these institutions. The senti ment, he aaid, is so marked in its na ture that he feela »ur« tiiat relief ia in tight at luaat for the Hospital at Dan ville, where conditions seem to be the worst. At the Hospital Friday none of the Legislative party were disposed to couoeal their sentiments. They ex pressed surprise botli at the inadequate accummodations aud the general lack of facilities. They asked a great num ber of searching questions aud seemed amazed at the true state of affairs. The inconvenience of getting coal to the institution impressed them most and they will no doubt favor to the man the appropriation for au electric power and light plant where coal w be easy of access. They also critcizeid the use of the boilers installed some twenty years ago and which taking the recognized life of a boiler into con sideration they now considered as hav ng passed the limit of safety. In the matter of fire-esoapes, too, they con ider the Hospital wcefolly deficient. Their long tour throughout the in stitution, taking In the male and fe male sides as well as the infirmary was accompanied by the usual Rcenes and incidents,amusing and pathetic by turns'as those from the outside woild come in contact with the iusaue, which were new and a source of much in terest to many in the delegutiou. It was nearly one o'clock when a tour of the buildings was completed At that hour dinner wan served to the Legislative party and Trustees The dinner aud what was served at the Hospital were the only refreshments, with all that is implied by that term, that was furnished at the public ex pense. As one of the members aver red the "two PullmauM were barren of all provender, a few sandwiches being the limit " Continuing the gentleman said: "Junketers will not got any more refreshments from the State. Sammy Pcnnypacker won't staud for it." Birthday Party.
