GABLE DROPS
IN THE RIVER
The river oable belonging to the
United Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, met with an aooident yesterday
by whioh it was torn from its support
and rent into several different pieces
destroying direct communication with
Sanbary and Shamokinand outting off
all the patrons of the system living In
South Danville and Riverside.
The lung cable was stretched across
the river nearly a year ago. Support
ed at each shore ou long poles planted
high on the river bank the oable when
new was very high above the water.
To install it was quite a feat. It will
be reoalled that iu stretching the cable
it was necessary to send a man aoross
the river with no other support than
the thin messenger wire. He attraoted
an immense crowd as he seemed to
bang In mid air some fifty feet above
the water.
High as the oable was at first before
many weeks it began to sag and con
tinued to drop lower and lower uutil
Monday when it was only a few feet
above the water. AH the river rose the
oable touohed the current aud yester
day morning for a long distanoe it was
oompletely under water.
In this position it was in great dan
ger. A mass of ioe or heavy pieoe of
driftwood striking It would have brok
en it or wrested it from its fastening
and oarried it down stream. To pre
vent such a contingency a orew of liue
oien were called out and an attempt
was made to tighten the cable. Heavy
rope and tackle were attaohed at the
Danville end and while the crew aD
plied their nnited strength to the rope
something gave way on the opposite
shore aud the cable fell slack into the
river.
AD investigation showed that the
second pole on the Sooth side about
oue hundred feet back from the one
bearing the main support gave way
owing to the soft natareof the ground
and was pulled by the weight of the
assemblage of wires down to the river
bank where, held by the wires that
were atill attached, it hong suspended
from the top of the high pole that oar
ried the cable.
The tug of war lay in the effort to
raise the cable from the river. In ac
complishing this the river bridge stood
in good stead. The sidewalk as far as
finished afforded an excellout plaoefor
the linemen. Kopes were attaohed to
the cable and by meaus of rope and
tackle it was drawn np onto the bridge.
The work required the greater part of
the afternoon. Nearly all the wire
was saved, although it was broken or
ont into many different sections.
It is doubtful whether auy attempt
will be made to re-establish the cable
in its old position on the poles. Ow
ing to the near completion of the
bridge application will doubtless be
made for permission to string the wires
on that strootuie as was done when
the old bridge stood.
Among the wires that were destroy
ed were all those loading to Riverside,
the direot liue to Sunbnry and the di
rect line to Shamokiu. While it is im
possible to oommonicate with anyono
in South Danville or Riverside it is
still possible to talk to Sunbnry and
Bhamokin by using the wire that ex
tends aronnd by Milton.
Late Developments
Favor Nan Patterson
NEW YORK, March 23.—Counsel
for Nan Patterson stated today that
they have now evidence whioh will
free the act/ess when she is again
brought to trial for the mnrder of
Caesar Yoong, the bookmaker.
MiBS Patterson was informed by
Daniel O'Reilly,one of her counsel yes
terday, that the defense had obtained
possession of evidenoe showing that
Caeser Young had a revolver the day
before the sliootiDg whioh he had tak
en away from his wife. O'Reily says
when Young's trunk was returned to
thiß oouutry from Europe several 82-
oalibre revolver cartridges were found
in it by Customs Inspector Arthur
Soanlon. The district attorney's oflloe
denied that Mrs. Young evor owned
a revolver.
The actress will be brought to trial
early in April.
The Host Satisfying Show.
A minstrel show, with its beautiful
first part setting, ballad singers, com
edians, coon comedians,coon shouters,
danoers and olio of specialty artists,
oomes nearer satisfying theatre-goers
of the present day than any other ef
fort on the part of theatrical caterers.
There is a happy abandon about the
whole affair that makes one forget his
troubles and beoome without retnot
ance a part and paroel of the scenes.
Gas Sun and his burnt cork organiza
tion, who will appoar in this oity on
Thursday evening, March 80th, at the
Opera House promises an unusual
moiioal festival and minstrel jubilee.
Q. H. Kester, of Bloomsburg, was a
visitor in this oity yesterday.
CONTRACTORS ON
JHBOUNDS
Four oar loads of material have ar
rived at Sonth Danville for the floor
ing in the river bridge and work on
that branch of the operation will no
doubt begin in a few days.
The United States Wood Preserving
Company has the oontraot for putting
dowu the dooring or pavement, which
is something entirely new in these
carts. The flooring will consist of a
substructnre of concrete and another
course of paving blooks. Caldwell.
Barry & Leonard, who built the piers
and abutments of the bridge, have the
contract for patting down the con
crete ; John Ed. Foley of New York,
will lay the paving blooks. Both M r .
Foley and representatives of the firm
of Caldwell. Barry & Loonard, were
in this city yesterday.
During an interview Mr. Foley stat
ed that the contractors were ready to
begin work on the flooring. Four oar
loads of material, he said, had arriv
ed and were at Sooth Danville. Un
fortnnately. however, the bridge was
not iu such shape as to enable them to
proceed at once. The bridge contract
ors have not vet completed the iron
work, but he seemed to regard the un
finished condition of the Southern ap
proach to the bridge as a worse ob
stacle. In Mr. Foley's opinion it
would require but three or four days
more to finish riveting down the floor
plates, while in view of the blocked
condition and filling up required at
the Southern abutment he would ven
ture no opinion as to when things
would be in such shape as to enable
teams to pasu in order that floor ma
terial could be delivered on the bridge.
Mr. Foley returned to New York yes
terday afternoon.
The County Commissioners state that
they will see to it as far as they are
able that work is pushed along on the
Southern abutment as rapidly as possi
ble. Contractor Ellis Rank is ready
to begin work filling up the abutment,
but owing to the accumulation of
bridge material lyiug all aboat the ap
proach it is impossible for him to get
into the bridge with his teams. As
soon as it suits the convenience of the
bridge people to open a way he will
begin work on filling up the abutment.
Ashes have been ordered aud these
will be delivered by the Pennsylvania
Railroad at South Dauville at any
day. The Commissioners think that
the abutmeut will be filled up so that
teams can pass by the time that the
bridge is ready for the flooring. If
not,they claim.it will be au easy mat
ter to construct a gangway at the abut
ment 'or temporary me.
Double Wedding Anniverary.
Mr. and Mrs. E. O. Voris, of this
city, yesterday rounded oat fifty yours
of married life. They celebrated the
event at the home of Mr. anil Mrs.
William P. Voris at Northumberland,
who were married on the Bame date.
The day was fail of enjoyment to those
participating and revived in memory
many incidents,many pleasant piotares
of life that belonged to that epoch a
half a century ugo when those now old
though with hearts none the less fond
and loving, were just entering togeth
er upon the threshold of married life.
It proved to be the merest coinoid
enoe that Elijah O. Voris of Danville
and his brother William of Northum
berland were united in matrimony on
the same day. There wns nothing pre
arranged about it and although the
two couples took their wedding trip
together the two brides had never met
until stepping upon tho train after the
ceremony.
Mrs. E. C. Voris before marriage
was Miss Julia Troxell, daughter of
Benjaimu Troxell of Chillisquaque
township, Northumberland connty.
The wedding took place at the home
of the bride on March 22, 1855, Rev.
Samuel Barns, later Presiding Elder
of this district officiating.
William Voris was married in Dan
ville, his wife before marriage being
Miss Letitia Zuber.of this city.daugh
ter of Captain Zuber,deceased for some
years. Mr. and Mrs. Voris have spent
their entire married life in Northum
berland, where Mr. Voris couducts the
blacksmithiug business.
There was uothing whatever elabor
ate about the celebration yesterday.
Charles E. Voris as the only surviving
child accompanied his parents to
Northumberland. Mr. and Mrs. Will
iam Gray of Williamsport.Mrs. James
Minier, of Birmingham, Ala., and
John B. Voris who resides with his
parents at Northumberland were also
present at the reunion. Mrs. Maria
Kling of Lewisburg, who was brides
maid to Mrs. William Voris fifty years
ago, was Que of the honored guests.
Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Voris went to
housekeeping on Centre street, this
oity, where they lived for 9 years, re
moving later to the present homestead
ou Ferry street,where they have resid
ed for 41 years.
William Voris is the younger broth
er, baiug 75 yoars of age. Our towns
man, E. C. Voris, will be 80 on his
next birfiiday. He has lived in Dan
ville 63 years. For 87 years he was
employed at the Montour Iron Works,
now owned and operated by the Read
ing Iron Company. For 13 years of
this time he was Superintendent of
the Foundry and Machine shop. The
two brothers wiio have rounded out
fifty years of married life are the only
survivors of a family of fourteen. Both
oooples are in fairly good health and
although not robust bid fair to survive
for a good many years. They received
many well wishes yesterday, the con
gratulations coming with as much zeal
and fervency as those inspired by the
happy wedding half a century ago.
Painfully Injured.
Walter Metier, an employe at Curry
& Company's machine shops was pain
fully injured yesterday.
Mr. Metier was liandliug a heavy
casting on one of the oranes. when the
retaining chains slipped, oausing the
iron to fall on his left foot. Had the
full foroe of the casting, whioh weigh
ed about 850 pounds, struck him the
injuries would no doubt have been
more serious. The piece, however,
straok glanoingly,tearing the flesh but
not breaking any bones.
ABBOB DAY
INJHE SCHOOLS
Apropos of the proclamation of Gov
ernor Pennypacker designating April
14th and 88th as Spring Arbor days an
ex-school director of town yesterday
remarked upon the apparent lack of
any practioal observauce of the day in
D.inville. He reoalls tha time, fiftben
to twenty years ago. when arbor day
meant a good deal of work not only
for teacher and pupils, bat also for the
school directors. While the two form
er were arranging programs and re
hearsing for the eveut it devolved up
on the school board to procure the
trees, and to have a plaoe prepared for
planting them, whioh involved not
only the digging of the holes bat also
the carting of fertile soil to the spot
in whioh to embed the tender roots.
Arbor day itself waßtoall intents and
purposes a holiday iu school. All the
grades participated in the exercises.
There was always au address beariug
on Forestry and the deplorable results
following the destruotion of forests,
while not the least interesting feature
of the program was the aotual plant
ing of the trees, the work Qf whioh to
the smallest detail was done by the
pupils under the supervision of the
principal or one of the direotors. A
program of recitation and singing, ap
propriate to the matter in hand was
rendered by the boys and girls begin
ning in the sohool room and ending on
the around l * outside where the glad
some acclaim of children's voice 9 or
more likely au appropriate song kept
time to the shovelfuls of earth as they
rained down upon the roots of the
trees being planted. Similar scenes at
the same hour were being enacted at
each of the four school buildings iu
the borough. Very mauy of our men
and women approaohing middle life
today, then pupils at the publio schools,
will recall the old-time Arbor Days.
In the aggregate scores of trees were
plauted on the sohool properties alone
and it is a reflection either upon the
care accorded the growing shade trees
or tho lack of adaptability on the part
of the soil, more probably the latter,
that soaioely one of the trees planted
en Arbor Days of the past are stand
ing at the present time.
The latter fact is held responsible
for the ohange in the manner of the
day's observauce in Dauville. It is a
fact, it is said, that each of the 8011001
buildings occupy sites where an im
mense amount of filling up was requir
ed at one time or another, oinder or
gravel being employed in large quanti
ties. Planting of trees on Arbor Day,
whatever might be said of its value as
au object lesson, or as a souroe of in
spiration to the pupils so far as secur
ing any immediate or practical results
iu forestry is ooncorned, became a sheer
waste of time. Actual tree plautiog,
therefore, lias been eliminated from
Arbor L)ay observance iu Danville.
Upon inquiry, however, it is learned
that tradltious are kept up by the ren
dering of programmes appropriate to
the event in nearly all of the rooms,
which keeps the pupils in touoh with
Arbor Day,and impart* instruction ou
the value of tree planting and the im
portance of preserving our forests.
Former Resident Heard From.
Three Rivers, March 20, 1905.
Editor Intelligenoor I will drop
a few liues that my old friends in
Montour couuty may hear from me.
We have hid a (ine wiuter here. It
was not very cold except for a few
days. We have a great deal of snow.
At the present time the sleighing is
about all gone in the city but iu the
country districts there is plenty of
snow and good sleighing. The winter
grain looked fine last November, but
little of it can bo seen yet by reason
of the snow.
Michigan is great for corn and pota
toes; it is noted also for fruit of var
ious kinds. Threo Rivers is a oity of
the fourth class, haviug a population
of 3'.H3. We have a high school build
ing and this season will bnild a $20,-
000 school building; also a flooring
mill of 100 barrels daily capacity as
well as a number of dwelling houses.
The Sheffield Oar Company will en

'FERRY SERVICE
SOONTO RESDME
Now that the ice from the headwat
ers of the North Branoh has made a
start on its joorney to the Chesapeake
and since the greater part ot it has
passed Danville on its journey South
as soon as the river falls a few feet
there will be nothing to prevent a re
sumption of ferry servioe.
There are a large nnmber of people
on each side of the river who are very
anxious to see the ferry in commis
sion. It is troe foot people are per
mitted to cross the bridge, but this
only fills the bill In part. Takiug
the traveling public into aocount,
it matters hot little to a man that
he is permitted to walk over the
bridge if therejis no way of getting
his inggage over the river. Neither
does the unfinished bridge avail much
to the large uumber of farmers on the
opposite side of the river whose pro
ducts help to replenish our stores and
whose trade contributes a big item to
our town's prosperity. So long as these
farmers are unable to briug their load
ed wagons aoross the river the mere
privilege of walking aoross the bridge
does not oonnt for muoh.
Not only would the ferry if put into
commission accommodate the classes
above enumerated but its service woold
be highly appreciated by our own
townspeople, such as physicians who
would be enabled to respond promptly
to calls in Rush and Gearhart town
ships and merchants, manufacturers
and others who would be enabled to
receive goods and expressage from
South Danville.
In view of the above facta the poblio
does not aotioipate mooh delay in
launching the ferry. It was the gen
eral opinion yesterday that the Coun
ty Commissioners are missing a fine
opportunity by not launching the flat
boat daring the freshet, while the
water la at its height. With a very
Blight effort at present the big flat
oould be slid Into the water, whereas
if the river is permitted to fall near
low water mark the boat can only be
lannohed at the expense of much labor
and attendant oost. In all proba
bility the boat will need calking and
other repaira BO that at best there will
be delay. Not a day therefore, should
be lost. The County Oommiasioners
no doubt will take the ptoper view of
things and launch the ferry at ouce
Boys' Bible Class.

Quail Nearly all Dead.
The aportsmen of thia vicinity have
experienced bad luokwith the consign
ment of young quail that arrived in
this city about the firat of January,
and whioh were to have been liberat
ed early in the Spring. Of the 243
birds that were aent to Danville at
that time only aeven are now alive.
Many of (lie quail were dead when
they reached this oily. The remainder
of the consignment received the bOBt
of oare, but notwithstanding the ef
forts made to keep them alive, they
pined away in their oaptivity and
died.
The birds received at the beginning
of the jour were, however,only a part
of the order. Subscription!* were rais
ed to purchase 86 dozen quail. The
remainder will be shipped dnriug this
week, and the birds will be liberated
aa aoou as they arrive. Notice of their
expeoted arrival in this city will be

inity held iu the Y. M. C. A. parlor,
Monday morning an Advisory Corn
mitteo was formed auxiliary to the
.Pennsylvania Children's Home So
ciety, a State institution takiug in all
denominations, which has for its ob
ject the care of homeless children.
The Advisory Committee was formed
as follows:
President—Rev. M. L. Shindel, DJ*
D., Vice President, Rev. George E.
Limbert, D. D. ; Secretary, Rev. E. B.
Dunn; Treasurer, Rev. William Mc-

The Pennsylvania Children's Home
Society li HK nothing to do with the
various orphanages or ohildren's homes
in the State, which while they accom
plish a mission have very little about
them in couimou with the domestio
life of a true home. The objeot of the
Society in question is to find places
for orphans or for children wlio.;e par
ents are unlit or unable to keep them
in the homes of good Christian people.
The missionary of this district is
Rev. JameH Furrey, of Scranton, to
whom the Advisory Committee ap
pointed yesterday stands in close rela
tionship and which will co-operate
with him in finding homes for chil
dren.
Should a child in Dauville or vicin
ity need a home it will devolve upon
the Advisory Committee to present the
matter to the Distriot Missionary, who
working through Advisory Committees
elsewhere will find a suitable place
for the dependent one. Un the other
hand should a fnmilv here desire to
take an orphan or other child into
their home the Advisory Committee
will be expected to furnish reliable
and necessary information as to the
standing of the family,whether or not
it is of good Christian character and
such as conld be expected to raise a
child up in the way it should go.
Sure He Drew a Prize.
J. G. Hornet, the distillery gauger
who advertised for a wife, and who,
through the advertisemerit, obtained a
wife in tho person of a Philadelphia
girl, says ho thinks he has discov red
a prize.
Mr. Hornet's place of work Is at the
McHeury distillery, near Bentou, but
he is now temporarily staying at Forest
Hill, near Lewisburg. A dispatch from
Lewisbuig, printed in a Philadelphia
newspaper yesterday morning sjya :
Jewet G. Hornet, the "Barkis" of
Union County,is evidently well pleas
ed with the result of his matrimonial
advertisement. Although he failed to
marry Miss Gertrude McCoy, of Bucks
County,ha still received offers of mar
riage. From tho first lot of letters re
oeived, Hornet read one, the contents
of which so appealed to him that he
decided that the girl should bo made
Mrs. Homet. The choice of the 68-
year-old widower was Miss Mary
Elizabeth Brooks, of Philadelphia.
Negotiations were at once opened,
and on Tuesday, Hornet met his futnre
wife at Miff Unburn. The ceremony
was performed the next day by Rev.
VT. Rue,of Mittlinburg, at the board
ing house of the Hornets at Forest Hill.
When questioned yesterday Homet said
that his throe days of married life
have proven that his bride possesses
the qualifications enumerated in his
advertisement. Ho said ; "My wife is
21 years old. She has beeu for several
years a stenographer and typewriter in
tho employ of a large manufacturing
plant in the city of Philadelphia. She
is an intelligent girl,of acheorfnl dis
position, and it is remarkable how she
has adapted herself to her new home.
"Considering that she is a book
keeper, I feel that she will be a great
liolp to mo in my clerical work at Mc-
Henry's distillery, at Benton, Pa.,
where in a week or so, we will goto
live."
Mrs. Homet said : "I find Jewet an
affectionate husband and a charming
companion. Although lie is 3? years
my senior, I cannot help but love him.
Mrs. Homet refused to give her ad
dress in Philadelphia. In considera
tion of the fondness of Mr. Hoiuet for
Quaker City bread, and the refusal of
his wifo to unme her former employes,
it is thought by some that he may
have married a professional baker in
order to enjoy continually his favorite
repast.

"SOULS ON FIRE."
The greatest serial story of the year
by Louis Tracy, the famous author of
"The Wings of the Morning" and
"The Pillar of Light," will be exclu
sive to the readers of the color mag
azine given free with each copy of
"The Philadelphia Press," beginning J
Sunday, March att. The Sunday Mag- '
aziuo will be the ouly publication in
America where this great st<rv may
be read. By special amigemeiit with
Mr. Edward J. Olode, Mr. Tracy's
Atneiican publisher, this story will
not appear in any other published form
uutil 190 H.
1 England, Russia and Amerioa fur
uish the principal characters in this
remarkable and timely Btory. Love
and thiilling adventure is the theme,
as in all of Mr. Traoy's most success
ful work. The action begins witli a
bomb thrown in London,an Anarchist
meeting iu the Tottenh im Court Road,
some sensational disclosures in the
Russian colony in England, aud then
shifts to the castle of a Russian pro
vincial governor, or "Little Czar,"
whose subjects are in revolt at his in
trigues. The plot affords superb op
portunity for a brilliant display of the
author's swift imagination aud an al
most equally interesting display of his
intimate knowledge of Russian life of
today.
An effort will be made to have the
court oast the eight stubborn couucil
inen of Luzerne Borough, Since the
election tiie councilman have beeu
struggling in vain to orgauizo but
without result.
Because Tieling is so easy to pro
nounce some people are wonderiug
why it came to be so named. Lot it
pass.
Oar two policemen ou Saturday dis
carded their winter caps and came out
with their blue helmets ou. This is
takeu as another sign that spring is
near.
