IAT PIPE BOT- 1 TOIJF CANE Engineer G. H. Doughty of the D. L & W. Railway Company, with an assistant, was in this city yesterday surveying the bottom of the canal for the purpose ot determining whether or not it would be feasible to sink a pipe In the abaudoned waterway for the purpose of carrying off the water which at present aconmulatea with every raiu and lies until it beoomes stagnant. The engineer's visit was in response to several communications from the Board of Trade of this oity. in wliioh the bad state of affairs was shown up •nd tu which it was suggested that *th? only remedy lay in piping and fill ing up the oanal within the borough limltß. Bad as the conditions are down town still a worse state of affairs • fa the Beoond Ward, where dur ' ' fng the summer, especially, the water ' throws off foul and stagnant odors and becomes a veritable disease breeder. s •'Time after time the residents there nave brought the matter before Ooun oil. The latter body in order to re lieve the situation did the only thing feasible, which was to dig a trench •long the bottom of the canal. There was not enough fall, however,and the ditoh generally failed of its purpose. It is thought, however, that a pipe of proper dimensions if rightly laid, might prove capable of oarrying off tbe water. The engineers were sent here for the purpose of determining whether suoh a pipe could be laid in the canal with sufficient pitch to make it at all effloient. They arrived here daring the forenoon and soon perfect ed the survey. A glance at the old ditoh oonvinoed them that they faced a pretty ngly proposition. The bot tom of the oanal is a mass of soft mud and pipe could be sunk only with the aid of oribbing. It is pretty evident, too, that the three culverts with wat erways conforming with the bottom of the oanal might complicate matters somewhat. What report the engineers may make will not be known until later. It is the opinion of some that the ■tep taken by the D. L. & W. Railroad Company in laying pipe indioates thac it has a filling op of the old ditoh in view, whether this important detail is to be left to the Borough or will be done by the D. L. & W. Company at its pleasure being one of the faots which may develop later. Nothing more essential in the line of improve ment could be couceived of than a total obliteration of the old canal. Offensive and an eyesore at best it is rendered doohly unsightly by the ashes and the miscellaneous articles wliioh accumulate in hack yards that have been dumped over its banks. Any measure, ther.toie whioli will effect drainago and prevent the possibilirv of making a spot iu the center of tiie Borough a dumping ground for ashes aud articles of worse description is to be hailed with pleasnre by onr citi zens. RUSSIAN AND JAP WARSHIPS AMSTERDAM, April 12. l'he Hau delsblad has received a telegram from Batavia, Java, which says that a fight Uln progress between Japanese and Russian vessels near the A nam ban In lands. Details regarding the reported ac tion are laoking. There is no confirmation of the re ported fighting. The battle may be an attaok by destroyers on stragglers. Five Dutch vessels are reported watching the battle. The Anambas Islands,where it is re ported the battle between the two fleets is in progress, are located in the Southern part of the China Sea about 200 miles northesaet of Singapore. A portion at least of the Russian fleet was reported yesterday as being •till at anohor in the vioinity of Pulo Manki, one of the Anambas group. Yesterday's reports also told of sever al Japanese vessels being in that part of the China Sea. Whether these ves sels were merely scouts or a part of the whole fleet is not known. '|lf Togo's entire fleet has attaoked the Russian, probably the greatest naval battle of modern times will be fought at this time. In London there ii a belief among many naval experts, however, that the attaok may be one by destroyers on stragglers from the Russian fleet. If the attack is general it is believed the battle will be decis ive. WASHINGTON,ApriI er Russia or Japan shall be the viotor in the far east war depends iu my op inion, upon the result of ti e battle about to ocour between the fleets of Admiral Rodjestvensky and Admiral Togo," said Admiral Dewey,in speak ing of the present struggle. "It Togo is beaten," he continued "all the money and the lives that have been spent by his coDntry in Man ohuria will go for nothing. The Rus sians, in command of the sea, would out off communication between Japan and the main land and the Japanese army iu Manohuria would be power less. " Admiral Dewey has beeu following the naval campaign with intense in terest not only because its scene is that in which he gained his renowned victory but of lessons which it is fur nishing and which will be of the great est value in the development of the American fleet. During the war with Spaiu Admiral Dewey was place 1 in much the same position as Togo I "Think what Japan would give for two or three battleships at this critic al moment," exolaimed the admiral. "Her national safety would be seoure. This ia • tiling we should take to heart. We have done muoh in a mil itary way to protect oursolves. What we must do now is the oomplete arm ing of ourselves upon the sea." t The United States weather bureau oomes to the front with a report and procnoaticationo that are decidedly en couraging. The summary of March weather conditions and their bearing opon crops from orohard, field ana farm during the productive months of the current year is of a oharaoter to iasplra the hope or a most prosperous aaaaoo of growth and harvest. NESCOPEOK TO HAZ LETOyY TROLLEY Anthracite ooal regions financiers, who several years ago started the movement looking forward to the building of a trolley line from Nesco peek to Hazleton were over the ground j again Saturday when the route wax I determined upon and many of the i necessary arrangements niaile so that all the preliminary work may be clear ed up in order to secure the erection of the road next year. Suoh in brief was the information given Qeorge Wetler, of NoßCopenk.over whoso laud the oompany will have to run for a distance of two aud a half miles. The line will run along the Hazlc ton-Neßcopeck turnpike aud the one obstacle which confronted the pro moters of the road was cleared up Sat urday—that of reaching Nesoopeck from Tank. The question was wheth er the liue should be built over the hill or whether a new road should be built down along the tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad. It was final ly determined that the over-the-hill road would be the one, inasmuch as ; the construction of tile line along the i tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad i would entail enormous expense, in cluded in which would be the neces sity for a large number of bridges. The route as planned is: Leaving Nescopeok the road would run out past : the mill.oros*ing the creek on the new i bridge to be coustruoted by the state ; this summer; thence up NUSB' hollow > along the railroad by Shaffer's church, ) ; thqnoe up through the gap, op the ) mountain to the left of the creek and - I into Tank. Swinging to the left of j Nescopeok cre:k the line would oon l | tinue until Hazleton-Nescopiok turn ■ I pike was struck at Seybertville, cou- I 1 tinutng into West Hazleton and Haz -3 |leton. There is, it is stated, plenty of money back of the road and its erec tion is assured. At Nescopeck the road will oonueot with the Nescopeck ter minus of the Colombia & Montour Eleotric Railroad, whioli with the com pletion of the Danville & Snubury line will give direot oonneotious by trol ley all the distance fiom the New Vork state lines to Sunbury ami with the erection of the line from Sunbury to Shamokin throughout the entire coal region. Commissioners' Joint Meeting. The Comity Commissioners of Mon tour and Northumberland counties held a joint meeting iu the Court Honse yesterduy at which wits taken import ant aotion relating to the formal ac ceptance of the river bridge when the structure is completed aud handed ovt'r by the State. At the joint meeting wore present Messrs. Gtorge Leighow of Dauville; C. W. Cooli, of Valley towuship, and Henry Cooper, of Derry towuship, Montonr Comity Commissioners ; John H. Beck, of Snubury,and A. H. Coun er, of Wat-ontown, who represented the Northumheiland Countv Boird. ! Attorneys W. Kase West and Charles | E. Lark, were also present. | The Northumberland County Com | misjiouers arr.ved at South Danville on the 10:17 Pennsylvania train and returned on the 4 o'clock H. & R train. Two sessions took place one iu the forenoon and the other iu the af ternoou. The first session was held af ter looking over the new bridge iu a body and was d«votod exclusively to the consideration of righc of way for telephone, telegraph aud eleotiio light wires. Iu the afteruoou the matter of a suit able reception to the Governor wat taken up in oase he should come to Danville on the occasion of the inspec tion of the bridge as has been reported he intends to do along with a number of other State officials. The Commis sioners, however, were working wholly in the dark, as not only had they no positive assurance that the Governor would be present, but the date of the inspection was also uncertain. In order that no unnecessary work might be done, on motion it was de cided that William Kase West, of this oity. and Charles C. Lark, of Shamok in, attorneys for the two boards of Commissioners, were directed togo to Harrisburg and call upon the Gover nor to ascertain facts as to the in spection— whether or not he will posi tively be present and what kind of proceedings would likely be in order to mark the acceptance of the bridge. The Commissioners have a modest program in view, which inoludes a speech from attorney Lark in response to Qoveruor Peunypnrk. r should the latter make the address formally hand ing the bridge over to the County Commissioners. Among others invit ed to be present would be the Repre sentatives of onr own and Northumber land county as well as the State Sen ators. Will Meet in Wilkesbarre. The next annual convention of the Pennsylvania Bankers' association will be held iu Wilkesbarre in June next. This was deoided at a meeting of the officers, held Saturday at Wilkesbarre. There will be two »essious of the oonvention, Juue 15 and lfi. The meeting in June will be attend ed by a large nninhei of bankers from all parts of the stale, aud will be qnite an event. There are nine groups of bankers in the state, each of which holds an annual meeting of its own, bnt the meeting to be held in Wilkos barre wilt include each of these uine groups. Little Qirl Will Recover. In an interview with Dr. E. E. Wag ner upon his return from Wilkpsbarre he stated that pretty little Flora Krick baum, of Beutou, the unfortuuate vic tim of rope Jumping, would very like ly reoover. She was operated opon ior appendicitis cansed by the exertion of skipping the rope so many times. The operation was performed at 11 o'clock Monday morning from which she ralli ed nicely and the physician believe that she will now reoover. The man who impatiently awaits for "real summer" weather will be the first to complain of the heat. It'i almost time now for reports from the Delaware peach growers.

Daring an interview with P. O, Baylor, Supervisor of Gearhart Town ship, for tho upper end, yesterday, it was learnei that as things now stand Northumberland Cojnty will boild the expensive retaining walls at the ap proach to the river bridge on the South Dauville side, althoagh it will be left for Qearhart township to do the filling up, which wilt be a big proposition in itself. Mr. Baylor said that the report made by the viewers waß in favor of the county building th> two high letain iug walls. The towuship, he said, it was understood, did not object to the filling np, provided they were reliev ed of the more expeusive part of the work involved in the retaining walls. Mr. Baylor says that the report of the viewers has already been before the Judge and that as he understood it the County Commissioners were em powered to proceed forthwith with the construction of the retaining walls. It was a matter of much surprise to him that the work was not begun several (lavs ago. Ho had a talk with the Commission ers or jxortnumoeriano County on ine occasion of their visit to this oity yes terday and reverting to the subjeot was informed that there was no likeli hood of the work going on until the May term of Court, when the matter would be brought before the Qrand Jury. The people of South Danville are much chagrined over the delay.as they are very anxious that the approach should be constructed by the time the bridge is oompleted or as soon after ward as is possible. Until the finish ing touches are put on the approach travel over the bridge will be attend ed with considerable difficulty. A Beautiful Memorial. A most beantifnl pieoe of cemetery work in the form of a granite orosa, five feet, five inches high, is near iti completion at T. L. Evans' Sons monumental works of this oity. It ii a memorial to be placed over the grave of Frank S. Etheridge in Charles Evans' ocmetery at Reading It is oonstrnot ed of the darkest and most sombre stoue that nature can produoe. Iu de sign it ia classic, in ita outline em blematic of Frank's life aud oharaoter it will mark his resting place—sim plicity, aud true to his fellow men, beloved by all who knew him. Frank was formerly roller at the Reading Iron Works in this oity and died in September of 1904. The beauti ful memorial is the production of Frank's constant companion in life, Mr. Roinhalter and represents the finest aud mostpolißhed workmanship. R. New Iron Fence. Couucilman John R. Hugheß has added a handsome iron fence to the ; improvements at his oozy home on Bloom street. The fence is quite in keeping with the Sag stone pavement and ornamental porch reuently install ed. A MATTER OF HEALTH yfM &AKIIIO POWDER Absolutely Pure HAS *0 SUBSTITUTE DELIVERING POLES FOR ROM PHONES An aot roeently approved by Gover nor Samuel W. Pennypaoker, prohibit ing the aaie or nee of' certain fire works, flreoraokers, explosive oanes and ammunition,and providing penal ties (or the violation of the same, is the cause of quite a littlo comment among many of the wholesale and re tail dealers in fireworks. The dealers feel that this new law will make ma terial inroads upon their business on the Fourth of Joly, bat all are ready to comply with it. In this aot only certain high explos ives are attaoked. It will be uulawful to sell fireworks and flreoraokers con taining piorio aoid, picrates;all ex plosive canes osing chlo'ate of potash or other high explosive ammunition; all exploiive canei using blank cart ridges; all blank oartridge pistols, aud all tablets composed of chlorate of potash or other high explosive com pounds. One portion of the law seems a trifle inconsistent, according to the dealers, from the faot that picric aoid is used in enormous quantities in all the dye ahors. This aoid is used largely in the production of fireworkß that make a whistling noise, suoh as whistling bombs. The aoid was considered dang erous by those instrumental in passing the law,for the reason that if the aoid gets into a wound or even the slightest abrasion of the Bkin and the wound is not immediately given proper medical attention it will cause tetanus, or blood poisoning and in some cases it is known to have caused lockjaw after only three days of inatteution. As there are numbers of people injured on tbe Fourth of July,one caD readily see wherein Ueß the danger. There is one factory in Petersburg, Va.,that relies almost entirely on this aoid in the production of its manufact ures. The oonoern has been doing an enormous business in the Btate of Pennsylvania, bnt with the passage of this new law the ooncern will either be compelled to sell its product in gome other State or go out of business, as it made a specialty of whistling rookets and oaned, and fireworks mak ing a whirring, soreaming and whistl ing noise. There is plenty of disappointment among the patriotio enthusiasts who get up in the small hours of the morn ing of the Fourth and celebrate uutil the last gun is fired. They will have to confine themselves for awhile to the use of display works, and the firing of oannon aud flreoraokers. But new in ventions and clever ideas will take the plaoe of the old and in future years the pistol will be a onriosity aud will be looked upon the same as the high I bioyole is now. Trout Season Opens Saturday. Troot fishermen are getting ready their taokle for the opening of the sea < son on Saturday and men havo been spying out the streams for a week or I more. It is said that the weather has made fish lively and that the indica tions are good in various small streams near this olty. In the oeutral seotiou of the State, Oentre, Clearfield and Clinton coun ties, are much sought by trout fisher men. Wonderful luok usually attend the angler in Oentre oounty, where fish are sometimes oaught even in the heart of Bellefonte. the county seat. There is good fishing at Paddy Moun tain, Oak Hall, Ooburn, Oentre Hall, or any of the stations along Logan's oreek. Buffalo Run,paralleled by rail road line from Bellefonte, is even bat, ter, while Laurel Run, Moshannon- Blaok Bear, and Six Mile creeks are usually teeming with fish. In fact, one finds splendid tront streams in every direotion. Among Clinton county's famous streams are Sinnamahoning oreek, the best fishing part of which, however, is in Oameron uonnty ; Kettle, Drary Ran, Paddy's Ran and Young Woman'B oreek all within a few miles of each other,east and west of Reuovo, on the Pennsylvaonia Railroad. For two years the Pennsylvania Railroad has been restocking Olinton's streams. Last season 100,000 young fish were turned loose In them,and as many more Will be plaoed there this year. Fishing along most of these steams Is consider ed almost ideal. They are wide, with soaroely any brash upon the banks. Furthermore, wading is easy. Soaroe ly any one goes bait fishing in these waters, where it is a delight to cast the aeduotiye fly. It is estimated that at least SOO.OOO young fish have been deposited annually in the waters of Center, Clinton and Clearfield coun ties daring the past six years. Eaoli oounty has at least two associations for the protection of fish and these have been very aotive. City Planting a Forest. Los Angeles, Gal., has 3,000 acres of brush and land called Griffith park, whioh it intends to oonvert into a oomineroial forest. This will be done as the first instance of a oity in the United States oreatiog a forest. The praotioe is quite oommon in Earope, where the forest parks have not only contributed to the pleasure of the peo ple, but have been more than self-sup porting through their timber output. Under its 00-operative effort, the Bureau of Forrestry had last summer at Los Angeles four of its experts mak ing a comprehensive planting plan for the forest. The plan was completed at the end of September. What adds to the Interest in the above proposition is the fact that Mr. Griffith, who presented the above magnificent park to Los Angeles, wan a Oanville boy and lived here for many years. Baer to Address Miners. It is stated that President Baer, of tbe Reading Companies, will close the winter series of leotures to mine fore men at Shamokin by delivering the final one himself. It has not yet been given out as to tbe date, but it will likely be in the near future. The Saatelle and Welsh Bros, circns, combined, will exhibit in Snnbnry, May IStb. Twenty-five oars are re qalrsd to traasport tbe outfit. CERTAIN FIREWORKS ARE FORRIODEN A number of poles have already been delivered on the ground in the vicinity of Strawberry Ridge while an order for five hundred more have been plan ed by the People's Telephone Con struction Company which is now ready to proceed with the construotiou of the two lines under contemplation. The Company is also arranging for the purchase of several thousand pounds of wire and other needed material. The work of building will be giveu oat by contract. Everything now is in readiues-i and all that are needed are the bidders. The lines assured are as follows: One from Washingtonville to Exchange by way of Strawberry Ridge, with two central office*,oue at Exchange and the other at Washing tonville. Another liue will extend from Jerseytown to Exchauge by way of White Hall. Success is assured by the large number of subscribers that have already been secured, while the sale of stock still goes on merrily. Daring an interview yesterday Mr. Pettijohu said that the sentiment is rapidly growing and that the outlook is most encouraging, indicating not only that they will be able to com plete the several lines through* out the northern and central part of the couuty originally contemplated, but also to extend the system to Dan ville and even eastward and southward beyoud here into adjoining counties. The People's Telephone Construction Company has received requests to bring its system to Milton, to Hughes ville and to Millvilie. It is also as sured of the hearty co-operation of the United Telephone and Telegraph Com pany and an agreement has been en tered into between the two Companies by which the rural system is to have the use of the poles of the United Tele pnone aud Telegraph Company be tween Washingtonville and Danville, all that is required being that tbe new Company furnish its owu wire. The objections to a rural line at first encountered have been nearly over come by the promoters. Some persons thought that it might lead to the dis placement of rural free delivery,while others foresaw in the wires a source of danger during the prevalence of thund er showers. A little readiug up has conviuced most people that in either case fears are unfouuded. In regard to the latter every electric railway and every telephone system in operation stands as an object lesson to show how seldom if ever accidents occar either from the electricity in use or from the lightning when thuuder storms occur. MINOR MATTERS OF INTEREST J. V. Gillaspy yesterday in getting ready for street paving tore np the cob bled gutter iu (rout of bis hotel at the comer of Mill aud Front streets. On this cobbled gutter hangs a tale, Mr. Gillaspy being in possession of reli able information which shows that it was the first oobbled gutter laid in Danville. The late Benjtmin Rhodes, Esq., whose father owned a property on the present site of tho hotel id 1830, is the authority. Air. Gillaspy, who has owned the property for much over thirty years, pots fall confidence in the statement. He says the guttar un derwent no changes daring his owner ship and thinks it may have lain for seventy to seventy-five years. The gut ter was no doabt well-enough laid, bat the stoue soleoted were of a heavy ungainly sort whioh would hardly be used for sncli purpose at the present day. « * * P. 0. Murray & Sons are scaffolding the front of their store bnilding pre paratory to putting on paint. The en tire structure,which has become dingy is to be repainted aud penciled, after whioh the awning, a substantial wood en one with iron posts, extending the whole length of the building, will be torn down and removed. It is rumor ed that several other awnings on Mill street will come down this summer. Murrays expect that the removal of the awning will give them muoli more light iu their store and this is one of the advantages that all could count on In getting rid of the unsightly ob structions in front of their stores. X K H There are too many defeotive pave ments about town, where loose bricks or what is worse, probably, none at all, add to the discomfort of pedes trians. It is hoped that the Oominit tee on Streets aud Bridges of Oounoil will look up the defective sidewalks and that Oounoil will take hold of the matter in a way that will insure speedy repairs. K K K Apropos of the unsightly condition of the bottom of the caoal the sugges tion is again made that the old ditch be planted with snn flowers. By tak ing it in time, it is said, a good orop of these could be secured the present summer. What would be good for the canal under the circumstances would also be a remedy for the river bank where conditions are about tho same. Boy Violinist Was Lost in Cleveland CLEVELAND, April 12.—Franz Von Veosey.the Hungarian child violinist, was lost iu Cleveland nearly an hoar yesterday. With his patents aud looal friends he had been to lunch and later mysteriously disappeared. There was much hustling about to find him aud nearly an hour later he was found calmly seated in a big tour ing car in front of his hotel where he was sounding the "Honk, honk" to his grett delight. He made friends with the driver. The policeman who found him ad vised the parents not to spank him. "He's a bright lad with muiio.he is" the cop said," but he likes to play like other youngsters." BOOSE LIFTED FROI FOONDATION April 10th is a pretty early date for a heavy thondnr shower, hat we had one Monday of the regulation mid summer sort. For awhile It wa« so dark that light* had to he lighted in dwellings, while the wind blew with almost ovclonio fury and the rain came down in torrents ; the lightning was blinding aud the thunder at times was quite loud. The shower oovcred a wide area and maiih damage is reported. t Still water, Colombia county, the harn of Dr. Stoker was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. Two flue horses and three head of cattle were horned with the barn.along with mow ing machine, hay rake, cultivator and a large quantity of hay and graiu. One horse and 12 head of cattle were sav ed. The barn was a large one, 70x50 feet. There was a small insurance. The barn on the farm of O. M Shoop,situated aboat three miles from Washingtonville was partly unroofed by the storm. Many tine trees as well as fences were blown down at differ ent points. At Briarcreek a number j of telegraph poles were leveled to the ground, and the service interrupted for several hoars. A*". Washingtonville a portion of W. J. Messersmith's furniture warehouse I was unroofed. At the Fourth Ward school hnild- ! ing, this oity, the large flag pole was blown down. A very remarkable phenomenon in connection with the storm was wit- ' nnssed in Danville,whioh was nothing , less than a gigantio waterspout, that formed on the river jast above the 1 bridge and at nearly express train speed went sweeping np the stream. It seem ed to be a column of water nearly forty feet high and as it whirled along ; in rapid rotation the water at its uase < was violently agitated and heaped up , with a leaping or boiling motion. At the font of Iron street Benjamin i Sommons is building a new house, a two and a half story frame structure some 25x40 feet. The sides are already planked and the rafters in position. Keaching a point oppoßito Iron street the cyclone left the river aud making a bee line for Mr. Sommons' new dwel ling lifted it bodily from the ground raising it several feet and then si tit down again on the same foundation. ; It was a most fantastic trick fur the | elements to play, but tho oddest patt of it is that none of the timbers of the | house are broken, although the whole building is out of plumb and the 1 foundation is badly jammed. It is a question whether the honse can not he fixed np at little expense so that build- | ing can resume. The cyclone passed on and after up rooting a tree a short distance above weut out on the river where it grail ually lost its force. No Smoking in Waiting Room. Persons addiotod to smoking will have to eschew the weed while about the waiting rooms or the platforms of the P. &R. depots, hereafter. Sta tion Master P. H. Fonst has received an order from headquarters requesting that the "nasmoking"' notices hereaf ter be striotly enforced. Many of these notices, it seemH, of late years have not been striotly observed. Even in the waiting rooms, wheu no ladies were about, it seems, by common con sent the haoit of smoking is indulged. All this will be different hereafter. Oigar and pipe will be uncompromis ingly banished. Ladies or no ladies, hereafter the least suggestion of smoke whether it be of the odor or the smoke itself will not be tolerated about the waiting rooms. The Philadelphia aud Reading Rail way Oompany is also waging a relent less war on oigarettes A decree has been Issued by the company that is far reaching and bars the "coffin nails" on all sides. Hereafter the sale of oigarettea is prohibited either on its trains or at the stations. It goes fur ther aud prohibits the nse of the cigar ettes either on trains, in the stations or npou the Btation platforms. An order has been issued to the Union News Company prohibiting the sale of oigarettes on any railroad property. The war on oigarette fiends will, it is said, be waged over the entire system.
