PASTOR RESIGNS HIS CHARGE At the morning service, Sunday, in Sbiloh Reformed ohoroh, Rev. Qeorge E. Limbert, announoed to the con gregaton that it was his intention in the near future,to resign as their past or, for the purpose of aooepting a unanimous oall to become pastor of Trinity Reformed ohoroh of Altoona. This deoision was received with deep regret by the members,many of whom being sooveroome by their emotions as to be moved to tears. Rev. Mr. Limbert is greatly beloved by his oongregation who are very re- Inotant to part with him. As he stat ed, in his remarks, it is eqnally pain ful for him to separate, as his rela tions with the oongregation have been very oordial and pleasant. No friotion whatever exists ; the work iu a'l de partments of the churoli has been pros pering, and he likes Danville; bnt the oall to labor elsewhere had come to him nnsolioited and unsought and in snoh a manner that he felt it was the oall of the Master, and his duty was to oonaider the same favorably. Rev. Mr. Limbert is an earnest.oon seorated, hard-working pastor, and, as • result of his pastorate all depart ments of ahuroh work in Shiloh Re formed ohnroh are prospering. The membership of the oongregation and Sunday school are larger than at any time in its history, and the finances are in exoellsnt shape. The congrega tional expenses are promptly met each month, and the amount contribnted to the cliuroh at large 1188 grown steadi ly with each sucoeeding year. It was, indeed, a sad and sorrowful people that departed from the ohnroh at the close of the service. Joint Meeting. Tomorrow evening at Bo'clook there will be an important meeting in the T. M. O. A. Building in the form of a conference participated in by lead ing citizens to diFOuss ways and means tor the snocessful continuance of our Young Men's Christian Association. The directors of the Association have written the oitizens of Danville in cluding pastors of the various church es. business men, professional men, clerks, mechanios and others inviting them to the oouferenoe. The prinoipal speaker on the oocas ion will be John.G. Reading, Esq., of Williamsport. The address will be followed by a general discussion led by Rev. Q. E. Limbert,James Soarlet, Esq., and Hon. R. S. Ammermau. Other men who have the welfare of the institution at heart will partici pate in the discussion. The direotors fool that the Young Men's Christian Association is an in stitution that should be regarded as an important faotor in the community and for this reason they are seeking the advioe and earnest co-operation of all well meaning people.

'' The directors through this meeting hope to impress all pnblio spirited citizens with the fact that the per manency and efficiency ot the Y. M. C. A. should become a matter of inter est to all and when the work is prop erly nnderstood it will receive the hearty and willing support of those in whose interest the building was erect ed. Il will be shown from records that the assooiation is doiDg a much Deed ed work and that it is praotioally the prlnolpal elevating influence that reaches a larga and important element of the community—the young men.

Quarters In South Danville, t Charles Rattaglia, the Italian labor agent, was a busy man at Sooth Dan- Tilln yesterday, where he was prepar ing quarters for his small army of lab orers, whioh he expects to have em ployed on the bridge and the trolley line, work on whioh will soon be un der way. Ur. Battaglia yesterday stated that he expeots to have eighty men at work on the bridge yet dnring the present week. These will all be employed by Meisrs. Oaldwell, Barry & Leonard forty on the concrete work and forty on laying the track of the Danville and Snnbury Eleotrio Railway Com pany. Be is now engaged in providing shelter for this advance gang, which may arrive today or tomorrow. The Italian quarter will be at the eastern end of Sooth Danville in the hollow above the old vault once conneoted with the Oermania Brewery. The spot leleoted will be about midway between the river and the Mt. Vernon cemet ery', where an old building stands, whioh will be occupied by the Italians. The house, however, is not large enongh and the provide sufficient room Ht! Battaglia will build an addition to the structure using the material •obtained in the small wheelwright ■hbp just below the river bridge whioh he haa purohased for use in sheltering hit men. The Italians yesterday be gan the work of tearing down and re moving the wheelwright shop. Oar townsman A. M. Peters has re ceived an invitation from San Antonia to assist in tendering a dinner in the name of the gentlemen of the Business Men'SjOlub of that oity to President Koosevelt on Friday eveuing, April 7th at 7 :30 o'clook at the Menger Ho tel, San Antonia. Honors come high in Texas, however,as the price of seats is 112.50. It will be a full dress at air. An effort will be made to have Presi dent Roosevelt visit Shamokin when he goes to Wilkesbarre next summer to address the Miners. If this can be arranged the day will be a general holi day. WILL LAY TRICK ONJEW BRIDGE The Danville and Banbury Street Railway Company haa been granted the right of way over the river bridge, and it has been deoidel to lay the traok on the new structure coincided with the patting down ot the flooring, which work will in all probability be gin duriug the present week. The grant and permission to con struct and operate its eleotric railroad on the Danville and South Danv'lle river bridge as well as all the condi tions, stipulations and restrictions in volved therein have been formally ac cepted by the Danville and Sunbury Eleotric Railway Couipauy and the papers are now on reootd at the Court Honse. It was learned from representatives of the company yesterday that rails and all other material needed have been ordered and are expeoted to ar rive at Danville not later than Wed nesday.so as to be on hand when work on the substructure of the floor be gins. In lieu of the ordinary wcoden cross ties, stoel ties along with steel plates will be used on the bridge ; as against the sixty-pound steel rails us ed on the street eighty pound rails will be used on the bridge, the whole being adopted as a measure to insure greater durability so that in the natural course of events the floor will not have to be torn op for many, many years to come. The eteel ties and plates will be wholly buried under tlio cement forming the snbstrnoture, the top of the rails being laid flash with the pavement. There will he but one track whioh will be laid along one side of the bridge. Messrs. Caldwell, Barry & Leonard.who will pat down the floor ing, in the bridge have also the con tract for laying the track ot the Dan ville and Sanbary Street Railway Company. The Chief Engineer and the head contractor of the Danville and Sun bary Street Railway are expected to be in Danville today. The cantraot is closed for all the rails needed betwoen the Hospital for the lusaoe and San bury. The Company is at present re ceiving bids for ties and poles and is now getting things in shape for be ginning work on the construction of the line. The first section of the road attacked will be that between the Hospital and the bridge, where work will begin iu a very short time. The equipment for the road will em brace all that is new aud modern in cars. There will be eight of these, large doable track cars, a fair propor tion of whioh will be open or observa tion cars. Some of the closed cars will be double in form with provision for baggage,while others will contain com partments for smokers, a large glass sarfaoe forming the partition. The power house will oontaiu two engines of 480 horse power eaoli; two generators of 360 E. W. each, with four boilers of 360 horse power each. The equipment throughout, pomp, heater and all other appliances will be first olasß aud thoroaghlv modern. Every effort will be made to have the seotiou of the line embraoing Dan ville, South Dauville aud Riversido in active operation by or near the Fourth of July. Pendiug the comple tion of the power house, power for op erating this end of the line may be ob tained fioin the Standard Eleotrio Light Company, whose plant is con veniently situated iu Dauville right on the line of the Street Railway.

Matrimonial Advertisement "Good Night." A Lenten Attraction. The ooming engagement at the Dan ville Theatre is of more than ordinary interest to theatre goers, inasmuch as this, being the Lenten season, 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 Christinn story o( Old Mexico, a series of pic tures of life in that country of rom anoe. Ministers and priests have been unanimous this season in exhorting their cougregation togo and see the production of "A Royal Slave," be oause it savors more of the atmosphere of the Chapel than the Theatie. It has not been an uncommon sight dnring this Lenten season to see the stage boxes entirely tilled with clergymen of all denominations witnessing a per formance of this morally upliftiug drama. The Board of Health of this city is no doubt on the alert lor casts of spinal meningitis, uow so prevalent throughout til* oountry. IIPROVEIENTS AT DFLWITT'S PARK Now that the Danville and Sunbury Electrio Railway seems an assured faot our neighbors ou the South side are casting about to see what business opportunities may arise and what they oan do to show their enterprise and keep pace with the great march ot prog ress. The first to respond to the new con ditions is tiie popular Riverside park, whioh will undoubtedly reoeive an im petus from the oompletion of the line that will Bend it booming along ou a career of remarkable prosperity. Dr. DeWitt has decided upon a system of improvements for the park, whioh when installed will give the place • reputation and a prominence that will make it one of the most popular re sorts in all this seotion. First of all the pavilion will be en larged autil it will be seoond to noth ing of the kind hereabout, it is al ready 60 feet by 60 feet, but 60 feet additional will be added tu its length, giving the dancers a run of 110 feet. The entire base ball ground will be fenced in, whioh with its many other fine features will mahe the grounds the most desirable for base bail iu this seotion. A number of oottages will be erect ed, the lumber for three having been already ordeied. Tliey will be two story affairs, 13x18 feet, built on the east end of the grouudß south of the present entrance, whore the morning sun will quickly dispel the dew and the effects of showers aud where in the afternoon the shade oast by the tall grove will be cool and dense. The east side entrauce will be clos ed aud a new entranoe will be opened ou the north side at Avenue E., the beautiful thoroughfare extending near ly north and south through the Bor ough of Riverside. Along Avenue E from the Publio School Building in Riverside, the track of the Dauville and Sanhory Eleotrio Railway will be laid. The trolley tracks entering the park by Avenue E will |be laid along outside of the flue driveway eucir oliug th>) grove from She northern en trance as far aronnd as the Southwest corner, whence on ground donated by Dr. DeWitt it will follow the east side of the lane leading toward Torrencu's. Just inside of the new north eu trnnce will be a very handsome and up-to-date merry-go-round, permanent ly installed i6 a commodious building. Moving pictures and other attractions will be installed as the season ad vances. Near the entrance also will be ereot ed a two-story cottage, fourteen bv twenty-four feet, whioh will be oo cupied by H. L. DeWitt and family and where refreshments will be sold. Dr. DeWitt lias discovered that one of the springs on the ground has min eral properties,highly esteemed among physicians. This spring Dr. DeWitt expeots to develop aud he lias confi dence that in a short time it will be known as ouu of the most popular features of his resort. DeWitt's Park has already been se cured for the Fourth of July by the Continental Fire Company of Dan ville. Only a Brush Plre. About half pant six o'olook last even ing a wide sheet of flame visible from nearly all over the borough shot op at the eastern eud of town. A cry went up that the stove works were on fire and in an inoredibly'short time East Market street, the D. L. &W. traok, Walnut strbet and every avenue lead ing eastward was black with people. Meanwhile the fire bells had rung and one or moro of the hose oompanies were also on their way. It seemed only a few momenta after the first alarm that several hundred people oonverged upon the D. L. & W. track this side of tlio stove works. And then there was no fire. The lurid glare had faded from the sky; the stove works, unharmed, reared their sombre walls aloft and there was no suggestion of flame and smoke any where. The big orowd began to think that they had been deluded by some mag ician's trick and asked eaoli other what it meant. Happily at that mo ment a man came down over the hill from the John R. Bennett farm and he was able to make the whole thing olear. On one of the elevated fields whioh lay at a level with the stove works' roof a lot of brnsh and weeds were set oo fire in order to clear the ground for Spriug work. Tho fire was directly in line with the stove works and easily gave rise to the delusion that the gronp of buildings were on fire. The highly combustible brush aud weeds were consumed in a few minutes, which cut a big sensation short. Surprise Party. Mrs. Alex. Ashton, Jr., waß tender ed a surprise party at her home, Cedar street, Saturday evening in honor of her birthday anniversary. An excel lent supper was served. Mrs. Ashton was presented with a handsome rook ing ohair.

' 800 HORSE POWER ENGINE Oboroh itreet waa tlie center of in terest for several hoars Monday to a 1 large crowd of men who were anxious to see what soocess F. tj. Hartmau wonld hate in hanling his large eight hundred horse power engine from the D. h. to W. siding to the silk mill. Profiting by Saturday's experienoe Mr. Hartmau Monday dismissed the horses and to take tlieir places had two iraotion engines on the ground. During an interview some interesting faots were learned. Mr. Uartman stat ed that tea horses w~.re hitohed to the truok Saturday, but their inability to move the load was due not so much to the weight as to the fact that the teu horses unused to working in the tame team oould not be induced to pull to gether. Another trouble lay in the fnct that when ever a spot was rpaoh r.d where the street had been lately dug up In connection with the laying or re pair of gas or water pipe, the wheels of the heavily loaded truck took asnd don drop in up to the hob. Although better results were expeot ed from the traotion engines than from the leu horses they were not proof against the truck becoming mired. As a precaution against the latter con tingency Mr. Hartmau procured a lot of angle iron in the form of scrap which he laid on the ground in an inverted position where they answered admir ably as rails to carry the truok. The bars eaoh some twelve feet long were eight in number and after Btarting up the engine it was possible to keep the truok moving nearly steadily by pick ing up the rails at the rear of the odd ly improvised train and carrying them forward where they repeatedly did service in bearing the truck. One engine—owned by Alfred Bleoher— -1 proved sufficient for all the motive | power needed while the other—owned by Mr. Stetler—was held in reserve. There was a good deal of oenjeoture as to what the weight of the monster 800 horse power engine might be. The most knowing ones, however, proved to be poor guessers. Few went as high as twelve tons, while the actual weight aooording to Mr. Hartmau waß sixteen tons. This was the bare cylinder and the smaller part, that went with it, however. The weight of the eugiue in its entirety when installed is 112 tons. The monster shaft alone, which has not yet been removed from the cars, weighs 24 tons. The engine, whioh is of the cross compound oondenßing pattern, is a wonder and will bo installed in the silk mill to take the place of the 400 horse power engine, in use for some years past. The installation of tliia larger engine, whioh has become a neoessity, attests very eloquently both to the steady growth of his business and the correspondiug increase of cap acity whioh Mr. Hartmau has beeu obliged to bring about at his plant.

JOHN IARTZ JHO MORE Death lias laid a heavy hand on the quiet community about Washington ville, throe deaths being reported in that many days. On Friday morning Anna Riinby was f.iund dead in bed. On the after noon of the same day Urs. A. J. Bill meyer departed this life and on Satur day morning John Martz, the well known farmer of Derry township,pass ed away. Mr. Martz was seriously ill for a couple of weeks, being afflicted with a bad complication of diseases—periton itis and appendicitis. He suffered in tensely until early Saturday morning when death came to his relief. He was Bixty eiglit years of age and was a widower, his wife having preceded him to the grave some years before. One son nnd three daughters—Frank, Emma, Susan and Callie—all of whom reside at home, survive their father. The deceased was a veteran of the Civil War and was a member of Good rich Post, No. 22, G. A. R., of Dan ville. He was a life-long member of the Lutheran olinroh. He was a good oitizen, a kind aud obliging neighbor aud friend and will be inuoh missed in the community. Mrs. A. Jackson Billmeyer, of Lib erty township departed this life Fri day afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. She was «S> years of age and had been in ill health for a long time, although death was immediately due to an at taok of pneumonia, which developed last Monday. She is survived by her husband and the following sons and daughters: Edward Billmeyer, of Jennings, Mil. ; John and Frank of Little Orleans, Md. ; George and An drew of Liberty township; Saliie (Mrs. Lewis Buss,) of McEwensville; Clara (Mrs. James Dietriok,) Mon res burg; Alice (Mrs. Jesse Bogert,) aud Emma (Mrs. Charles Geringer,) of Liberty towuship Sad Death of a Child. Circumstances extremely sad sur round the death of Charles W., the young son of Engineer George W. Keefer, at the family residence. Sun bury, at half-past three o'clook Tues day morning. Death was oaused bv concussion of the brain, from injuries accidentally sustaiued while playing with his elder brother, several hours previous. About seven o'clock Monday even ing,the children weie engaged in play at their home. During their pnrsuit of pleasure, the elder boy ran ont of the door, quickly followed by his younger brother. Upon leaching the stone pavement, the elder boy stopped, aud his brother ran into him, tlie force of the collis ion being sufficient to throw the younger boy violently to the Jpav meut, striking the left side of his head, near the temple, a heavy blow The little victim was carried into the house, and l)r. Mary McKay Weuck was sont for. The doctor an swered the summons quickly aud made an examination, discovering that the fall had produced coucussiou of the brain. Everything possible was done tor the relief and recovery of the victim, but to no avail, death thwarting all efforts at the time stated. The child was aged (t years,s months and 13 days. Being exceedingly bright, he was quite interesting and the neighborhood as well as the homo of the family is shrouded in sorrow and sadness. Lots of people, fearing obo/ioxious bills, will breathe easier when it is "reported finally" that the legislat ure has adjourned. pINANCIAL STATEMENT. D. R, P.

WiNTEKSTEIN, J A MATTER OF HEALTH tot MAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure JUS no SUBSTITUTE IAD DOG SCARE JJATDRDAY The monotony of life in the lower end of the Borough was relieved Sat urday morning by a genuine mad dog scare. None of the essential: ware lacking. The rabid dog was unmistak ably in evidence; there was a scamp ering of people; there were pistol shots and a dead dog to end with. Between 9 and 10 o'clock as Julin Weir was walking up West Mahoning street, just east of Ohestnnt street, he saw approaching from the opposite di rection a dog which had a suspicious appearance. He was a short-haired black dog with large head,heavy ueok and other characteristics whiob sug gested the bull dog breed. He- bore a dejeoted and bedraggled appearance and trotted along in an indifferent way not at all common with dogs in good health. In passing, Mr. Weir was care ful to give the dog all the room on the pavement that he wanted. The two had hardly got abreast, however, when the dog without auy warning spraug at Mr. Weir and with a quick snap seized him by the coat. Mr. Weir had in liis pooket a revolv er, whioh he was taking op to the store on Mill street. Springing aside he avoided a second attaak from the dog and drawiug tlie pistol was in the act of killing the dog when it occur red to him that the street thore was a bad place to shoot and he decided to follow the dog and take farther note of bis action. At Thomas Ourry's residence the suspicious canine attacked the house dog, lying on the portico, a noble col lie, but fortunately his teeth did lit | tie more than clutoh the long hair of the Collie. At the residence of Will iam Linker, further down the stroet, he attaoked another dog, biting him slightly. At this place it was observ ed that he was frothing at the month. Mr. Weir, still in pursuit, wanted to finish him on the spot bat Mrs. Linker begged that no shooting be done near that place and thus the dog was per mitted to pass on. He soon gaiuod tlie alley at the rear, whence he entered the premises of Miohael Drisooil, i where he bit another dog. | At tliia juncture Mr. Weir determin j ed to cut the brute's carter short and ihe fired a shot at him. The bullet, | however, only grazed tlio dog and he j escaped to Clio street and mad i direct i ly toward the premises ol William | Turner. In the alley beside the honse a little child belonging to the family was playing. The dog was making in a direct line for the little one. He was only eight or teu feet away when Mr. I Weir realizing that a moment's delay | might be fatal rushed right up to the dog and quickly sent two bnl!cts in succession into liis carcasss. The brnte rolled over and while not quite dead seemed beyoud all danger of doiug harm. The man took hold of the dog and was in the act of dragging him down the alley when, as the last thing thought of,the brute seemed to revive and springing around endeavored to bite the man. Mr. Weir had still a oouple of bullets in his revolver aud these he unceremoniously sent into the dog, which inflicted his quietus. There seems little doubt but that the dog was afllioted with rabies. Where he came from is not known. Probably some one who reads this will reoognize the dog as one missing from his own premises, or one of whioh ho has some knowledge. The probability is that the oauine came from some distance, probably from out of town. This is the worst feature of the case, as there is no way of telling how many other dogs may have been bitten dur ing the mad dog's tramp, whioh may latter develop hydrophobia. The dogs known to have been bitten, whioh as is proper, are all penued np and will be carefully watohed nutil the time limit 1b passed within which hydrophobia is likely to develop. "The Sign of the Cross." The Bostou Olobe in speaking of "The Sign of the Oross" engagement in that oity recently, says : "Any one who witnessed the two immense audieuces in Masio Hall yes terday, where 'The Sign of the Cross' begfkn a two weeks' engagement,could not fail to have beeu impressed with the tremendous hold this drama has upon the publio. For eight seasons this remarkable play has been ou the stage an yet the tense silenoe, the eager watohfulness of the speotators and the unmistakable interest was greater than at its first presentation here. And the reasons for all this can easily be traced. In the first plaoe the story, while both of a religions and an hi-torical nature is yet told with to large an amount of human traits that it appeals strongly to all classes. Love, hate, ambition and other of the passions of man burned as fieroely in the days of Nero, the despot, as they do toda", and while the brutal instincts of man i kind were held less in check then, j there are tho same underlying ptinci- j pies, so that there is no sentiment i which is not readily understood and appreciated. Thin again, tin management lias permitted DO deterioration as regards production,either iu cast ur scenic en vironment. and tliis faotor enters in no small degree into the wonderful success achieved by "The Sign of the Gross."
