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

table was a large oake, sur

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.

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.

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

Its time now for the umpire to be

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.

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.

FUNERAL OF
SAMUEL HDBER
Samuel Huber, whoso death on the
railroad took place at Punxsutawney

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

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.

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.

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

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."
