THE GOAL DIGGER STEAMED AWAY The coal digger of George Hartman, of Shamokin Dam, which for the last few weeks lay foundered above the riv er bridge wholly submerged or partial ly exposed as the river rose and fell yesterday, figuratively speaking, got op and walked. The ooal digger last fall was brought up to Danville to assist in building the substructure of the river bridge. It beoame a familiar object to our citiz ens as it steamed backwards and for wards plying its busy vooation. When winter came on it was tied up along shore. It was lifted from its position by the first break-up and flood and as the water fell it lodged in a slanting position on the river bank. Iu this position it was frozen fast to the ground by the cold weather which fol lowed. It was impossible to release It and when the final break-up oocnr led it was thought that it would be crushed by the ioe and carried away. It turned out differently, however. The water soon began to pour into the slauting boat and with the heavy machinery installed held it down so that it was in no danger of moving The ice did not injure it. It was only a week or so ago that the boat was almost wholly submerg ed, only a portion of thecabiu appear ing above the water. Great was the surprise of people, therefore, yester day, to see the boat leave its mooring and riding the water like a duok (.team gracefully down the river and disap pear around the bend. The owner caire to town Monday and finding that the river had fallen low enough ho began pumping out the ooal digger, whioh was found to be none the worse fot its winter's advent ures. A little cleaning up was requir ed, after which steam was gotten op and the digger started on its cruise homeward. Ur. Hartman took the coal digger to Shamokin Dam, where it will be giv en a thorough overhauling. Prospects are good for river coal this season. The deposits shift with eacli flood that occurs, the spring break-Dp especially beiug pretty Bare to bring large quan tities of ooal down from the mines. The coal men are anxious to get on the ground as soon as possible in order to looate new deposits. The stream is now abont low enough to make coal digging practicable aud (he owners of boats are anxious to get to work. Mr. LeDnc of our own town was very bnsy yesterday getting his ooal digger in readiness. He is procuring a new shaft, which may delay liim somewhat, bnt he expects to be out fishing for the black diamonds yet during the present week. Daniel Ross is painting up his haud ■ome naphtha lannoh aud now that the praotioally finished bridge has render ed the lannch no longer of any use as ■ ferry he will place it in commission as an excursion boat. Captain Ross anticipates plenty of business during the pleasant summer woather. He is known as an experienced rivermau, oareful and obliging. His plan is to take out parties-up or down the river as desired,giving them an ull-dav ride or depositing thetn on an islaud or sbady retreat on shore where iu the evening the launch will return for (hem. The rates, it is believed, can be fixed at a figure low enough to make snoh a use of the boat popul >r. The river very rarely falls to its low eat point before the latter part of July or August and there will be plenty of water to navigate the launch thruugh the most charming part of the summer when the river itself and the landscape bordering on the stream shows op at the best advantage. Canadian Concert Company. The Colored Canadian Jubilee Con cert Company will appear ac the Opera House Saturday evening, April 15th, nnder the auspices of Stoes' hand. The Kent, Ohio, Bulletin says: "To say that the large and apprecia tive audieuoe at the Congregational church Wednesday evening to hear the oelebrated Colored Canadian Concert oompany was entertained, we may justly add delighted, is putting it mildly. No oue went away but felt glad he had been there. Where all were good it would be difficult to dis tinguish between them. It is sufficient to say that the company made a most favorable impression aud that it will be oordially welcomed should it visit Kent again." Birthday Surprise Party.

STRIKE FEARED MIC TIED The threatened soft coal strike had the effect of tying up practically all the freight traffic <>u the Oatawissa Division of the Philadelphia & Head ing IS. K. daring the latter part of last week. With the time approaching for the signing of the wage scale between the mine workers and the operators, the present wage scale expiring Saturday, all the railroads commenced to hold back tlioir shipments of bituminous ooal. The result was that there was uo freight business on the Catawissa division of the Reading over which tlio Heading ships nearly all its soft ooal. Instead of 30 pushers being required to push the heavy trains over the mountain a number of them boing re quired to make two trips a day, ouly two or three pushers were required during the last part of last week. With the assurance Saturday that there would be no strike and that the operators would sign the wage scale traffic became heavier Sunday. The points at issue between the op erators anil miners were: When the two Scale Oommitteos first met in joint conference, March Id, at Altooua, both sides demanded con cessions. The wage scale last year was bated on 63 oents per ton to the miner and an eight hour day. The operators demanded that the new scale should be based on 55 oents, contending that they could not pay more and meet the competition or the Southern coal fields. The Mine Workers demanded that the basis be put back to fit! cents, from which it had been reduced a year ago. Finally,the operators propose 1 to sign the old soale for the last half of this year and to pay 10 per cent, loss for the first half. The Mine Workers de clined,and offered to sign the old scale for the year from April 1.

GEORGE KLINE'S FATE IS SOLVED The fate of Gaorge Kline, a nearly life-long resident of Eanville, who mysteriously disappeared from the -home of his son, Edward Kline, in Williamsport over a year ago,has been most unexpectedly oleared op. On Sat urday afternoon the remaius were fouud by two boys near the sulphur springs, just below South Williams port. The lads were out gathering arbutui. The trunk was found at the top of a steep bank and the detached head, whioh was nothing more than a bare skull, was found at least 2S feet away and partly down the lnoline. From the position in which the body was found, it is believed the unfortu nate man was in a sitting position when lie died. The remains appeared to have fallen backward after death, ana the left foot was elevated over the low limb of a tree. The trunk was, like the head, devoid of flesh. The skeleton of the man was really all that was left uf the body. There was nothing about the skele ton to determiue whether the deceased had been an old or a young man. Hii clothing appeared to have been of good material. He had on a light colored overcoat of heavy material and it was noticed tint a hole had been burned through one of the pookete. A pair of now No. 10 shoes were on the feet. Two handkerchiefs were found in liis pookets, one being oolored and the other white. In a pooket were a wood en matoh box, a small lead penoil and a blaok handled knife. There was al so a small bag of tobacoo and a paper on whioh was written "ten cent" in another pooket. An examination of the skull gave rise to the belief in the minds of some of the jurors that the man might have been murdered. On the top was dis covered a pronounoed indentation large enough in which to lay a dime. The inner surfaoe of the skull did not show a oorrespouding ridge,but in the oent er of the dent there appeared to be a small hole through the bone. Edward Kline, son of the missing man, was interviewed with the result that he became impressed with the idea that the remains found on the South Side might be those of his falb- Mr. Kline went at onoe to the un dertaking establishment of Gage & Gage, 128 West Fourth street, where tlie skeleton and the olothing had been removed. He identified the overooat as belonging to his father by the holo burned in the pooket. "Now, if this is my father there will be evidence of a terriflo blow on the head," said Mr. Kline. Tho skull was examined and the in dentation that mystified the members of the ooroner's jury proved to be the mark of the blow. Mr. Kliue expressed himßelf as beiug confident that the dead man was hii father. He then explained that while working in au iron establishment at Dauville some 40 years or more ago the elder Kline was injured by a boil er explosion. The indentation in the skull was made by a flying briok. At the time of his disappearance Mr. Kline was 81 years of age. He waa born iu Franoe. He is survived by two ohildren —Mrs. Robert Morgans of Reading, and Edward Kline of Will iamsport. Death of E. W. Greeuongh. Ebenezer W. Greenongh died at his home, corunr of Front and Chestnut streets, Hoiihurv, at 1 rSO o'clock, yes terday afternoon, as the result of paralysis. Although Mr. Qreenough's health has been failing for aeveral years past, he has been able to be up and around, and his immediate demise was not looked for. He was at his office on Market Square, Sunbnry. as usual, on Saturday, and on Sunday felt some what indisposed, and remained abed. His condition was not regarded aa particularly critical, and death came rather unexpectedly. Mr. Greenough was the only son and child of William I. Qreenough, de ceased, and his wife, Uary 0., who survives. He was boru in Sunbnry fifty-three years ago. He waa educat ed at private schoola and preparatory colleges, and entered Prinoeton Uni versity, in 1870, graduating with the class of 1874. Returning to Sunbnry, he took np the stndy of law at the office of his father, and was admitted to practioe at the Northumberland County Bar in 1876. Of late years be paid very little attention to tiie prac tice of liia profession,being engrossed in his own business affairs. He was married to MiBS Elizabeth Hewilt of Sunbnry, in 1880. To this union were born two ohildren, Uary, now Mrs. David Stevenson of Vlrignla, and William 1.,0f Sunbnry, Mrs. Qreenough died in the Spring of 1889, and shortly afier that Mr. Qreenongh and hia fam ily moved to Philadelphia.where they remained for some years. They return ed to Sunbury about four years ago, where Mr. Qreenough has sinoe resid ed. Mr. Qreenough's family is one of the oldest and most respected of this com munity. He was a grandson of the late Peter Baldy Sr. of Danville.

The whole street especially during the afternoon with scarcely a moment's interval was fill ed with dust, which rushed along in clouds, winch formed small whirl winds and once in awhile threatened to becomo cyclonic in its volume and intensity. The dust blinded persons temporarily, sought every nook and orevice and rained down upon the goods displayed in front of the stores. It was one of the things not antici pated on a paved street. But when per sons stopped to reflect it was not clear how it could bo otherwise. The paved suiface, dry and warmed up by the sun, readily turns into dust ground dropped upon it by vehicles and the wind does the rest. Council has not as yet passed finally upon the sweeper qnestion. Several persons who have had experience in larger oities, have volunteered the in forni'ition that a street sweeper as an instrument for merely keeping down the dost will not fill the bill—in faot that while in operation it merely stirs np the dust. Street Commissioner Miller seems to think that a very good remedy lies in flushing the street frequently, nsing the fire plugs and hose. This expedi ency may be resirted to today. To re lieve the situation on Saturday Mr. Miller had a horse and cart and some men at work hauling away the dost where it happened to lodge in heaps. DINING IN JAPAN. 1/ It'e Yonr Flrftt Jnponfie Meal Yo« Will lluve a Try In H: Time. If it's your first Japanese dinner you're having u dreadfully hard time. the first place you must sit on the floor, for they don't have any chairs In Japan. You kneel down, and then you turn your toes iu till one laps over the other, and then you sit back between your heels. At first you are quite proud to find how well you do it, and you don't think it's so very uncomfort able. But pretty soon you get cramp ed, and your legs ache as if you had a toothache in them. You don't say any thing, because you think that If the Japanese can sit this way all day long you ought to be able to stand it a few minutes. Finally both your feet goto sleep, and then you can't bear it a moment longer, and you have to get up and stamp around the room to drive the prickles out of your feet, and nil the little dancing girls giggle at you. This isn't your only trouble ei ther. All you have to eat with is a pair of chopsticks, and you're in terror lest you spill something on the dainty white matting floor. Now the floor of a Japanese house isn't just the floor; It's the chairs and sofas and tables and beds as well. At home it would be mortifying enough togo out to din ner and spill something on the floor, but in Japan, where people sit and sleep on the floor, it seems even.worse. So you are unhappy till your little ne san (who is the waitress and almost as prettily dressed as the dancing girls, but not quite) comes laughing to your aid and shows you how to hold your chopsticks. After that you manage nicely the rice and the omelet, but the fish and the chicken you can't contrive to shred apart without dropping your chopsticks all the time. So between dances the inaiko—the little girls about twelve years old-kneel down beside you aud help yon. They can't keep from giggling at your awkwardnees, but you don't mind; you Just giggle too, and everybody giggles and has lovely time.—St. Nicholas. Henry VIII. and l'nddlnprs. Bluff King Hal, otherwise Henry VIII. of England, was exceedingly fond of puddings. At one time he gave a certain Mistress Cornwallis a house in Aldgate for herself and her heirs for ever "in reward of fine puddings." In King Henry VIII.'s private accounts occur again and ngain entries of his rewards to different housewives for bringing him puddings. A typical in stance runs thus: "Item. The same day paid to the wife that made the king podings at Hampton corte, vis. viljd." Tills would be about $1.70, but its value was much greater when the entry was made. This love for "fine puddings" explains much in the fa miliar rotund figure of King Hal. A Matter of Gender. The English language Is supposed to be very simple In the matter of gen ders, but foreigners who triumphantly handle questions of gender of Inani mate things In their own languages often have their difficulties with the English. A Frenchman recently came to grief over his English. "I fear I cockroach too much upon your time, madame," lie remarked politely to his hostess. "En-croacb, monsieur," she smilingly corrected him. He threw up his hands in despair. "Ah, your Eng lish genders!" he sighed. The Bill Wan Not In the Senate.

A MATTER OF HEALTH pgR &AkiNo POWDER Absolutely Pure HAS HO SUBSTITUTE , FORMER RESIDENT DIESJNMICHIGAN The followiug from the "States man" of Marshall, Michigan, with re ference to the death of ,T. M. C. Young a brother of the late D. P. Young and uncle to Constable W. E. Young of this oity will be read with iuterest by Danville people: Saturday evening, John M. 0. Young passed away at his residence on North Marshall avenue, agea 82 yoars. Mr. Young was a native of Danville, Pa., being born there in 1823. In 1855 he came to Mioliigan and Bettled upon a farm near Ellis corners, where he liv ed until 1884 when he moved to this oity. He was the father of four chil dren, two of whom survive, Mrs. Myra Young of this city and Rev. J. Frank Young of Marshfleld,Wis. The fuueral servioes were held from the Presby terian churoli, Tuesday afternoon, the oasket standing in the same place in the Sunday school room where he had been a faithfnl and earnest teacher for many years. Mr. Young united with the Presby terian ohnrch of this city in 1884, co ming from the Congregational church of Fredonia, and in 1888 he was eleoted a ruling elder, holding the position un til 11)00 when feeble health oaused him to deoline further eleotion. He was an earnest, consistent, troe hearted, whole hearted Christian gen tleman of the old school, rigid and in flexible as iron in his views of right and wrong, but with a gentleuess and graoe that was womanly in its tender ness. He was by no means a religious as oetio, for he entered into all innocent pleasures with great zest,aud he dear ly loved the joy of living. He also de lighted in the companionship of con genial friends, but in it all he never forgot "whose he was, mid whom he served," his religion being to him an every day existenje, which was his keonest joy iu life. He was a close student of God's Word and had been connected with the Sabbath school as teacher and scholar for seventy-foar years, and his self sacrificing work for good in this im portant department of Christian activ ity still lives and will continue to live in the hearts of those who were his scholars. It does not often occur that n man's friends are as nnmeroos as his ac quaintances, but it wonld seem that such was the case with this departed brother. He was a peerless type of a disciple of the Mau of Galileo, his pure, up right and honorable life, his noble aims and his unassuming aud faith ful labors for l.is Master are virtues worthy of highest praise and emula- | tiou. The "good gray head" of this faith jful follower of the Lord of lifo will be sadly missed iu the church, in the prayer meetings.in the Sabbath school, as well as in the family circle. I *' Friendship must weep, though Faith with blameless pride Tells how this Christian triumphed as he died. Earth's dearest blessings round his heart entwined, To God, who gave them all, he all re signed. " OLD AND NEW COINS. IntereutliiK I'm t* \liotil < oln nice at the Different Minta.
