USED SALVATION
MY TACTICS
A unique method of getting heaters
to reoeive the Word was resorted to
Suuday evening at the village of Al
uietlia. Rev. Stover of the Evangelioal
chnroh coaldn't get the congregation
to come to him so he went to the con
gregation.
For several months interest in oharch
work in the Evangelical chnroh of Al
media had hoen ou the decline aud
several Sundays when the good min
ister Bev. Stover repaired to his ohnrcli
to preach the Gospel he would find the
pews empty. He was resourceful,
however,and noticed that a large con
gregation of men and hoys wero al
ways gathered ou a Sunday evening at
the oorner of the Englehart wagon
j' shop, near the church. He deteriuiu
-1 ed to have liearors enough even though
• lie had togo where they were.
' ' Ou Sunday the minister with his
'choir stopped at the street oorner in
stead of going onto the church and
; commenced the sorviott. A large nam
' 'ller of people were gathered together
, on the steps and 011 piles of
{ luniber_and on old wagons.
' . ,'fhe choir sang several selections,the
minister prayed aud preached a very
instrnctive. and interesting sermon. At
the close lie announced that services
would again bo held at the same time
and place in two weeks from Snnday
evening. It was a strange procedure
but it worked and Rev. Stover had a
congregation.

HIGHWAY INSPECTED
ANDAPPHOVED
The State Highway Department does
not find it clear sailing by any means
in Its effoits to effoet a settlement
with the Bupei visors of Mahoning
township and tho»Coanty Commission
ers of Montour for the highway com
pleted between this oity and Mans
dale. The State Highway Dapartment
insists that the road is completed—
that it ha" been inspected and approv
ed by the piopcr authorities The
Uahouing township supervisors and
the County Commissioners insist that
the ruad has not been finished accord
ing to the specifications and refnse to
pay their share of the bill, which is
|llOB 49 more than the oontraot prioe,
until a full explanation is given to
show whore the additional eleven hun
dred and odd dollars went to.
The public will he glad to learn the
true status of the State Highway. The
road iu the opinion of many people
doos not come np to the'specifioations.
They were curious to know how It
would be regarded by the inßpootors
lepreseuting the State and np to the
present have be in expecting the ap
pearance of theseotlioials. It will be
news indeed to these people to learn
that the inspectors hare oome and
gone. When these otllaials performed
their duty aud how their visit to Dan
ville happened to esoape notice prob
ably has but little to do with this
storv
Iu Jnne 28th last R. S. Ammeiman,
attoruey for Mahoning township.in re
ply to the communication fioui the
State presenting the bill wrote the
Highway Department that payment
would be made as soon a 9 the State
highway was completed acoording to
plans aud specifications and asked for
an explanation as to an item of 1346.70
relating to inspection which appeared
ou the till. Mr. Aiumermau stated
that the township supervisors would
be glad togo over the road with the
inspectors at any time.
A reply from tlio State Highway de
partment on June 29th. brought the
surprising intelligence that the road
had already boeu formally inspected
by the department aud that the item
relating to inspection oovered the sal
ary paid the inspector whom the De
partimut employed duriug the prog
ress of the work and who was present
every day from the time he was ap
pointed until the work was complet
ed. The communication stated that
there was no reason why the Connty
Commissioners oi township Supervis
ors should kuow when the inspectors
would be on h tud and hence were uot
notified.
To this communication on Jane 80,
Attoruey Aiumermau replied: "As
Mahoning township and Montour
County have obligated themselves to
pay a proportionate share of the oost
of the public impiovement in question
the Supervisors mid County Commis
sioners reserve to themselves the right
of kuowing where the people's money
is going to and the consideration iu
every detail for the money they pay ;
they aie answerable to their respec
tive boards of auditors whose duty it is
to confine them closely to the provis
ions uf the coutiact the law authorized
them to enter into. We have no con
fidence iu the inspector whom you
suggest as being present. My olients
insist upon such an explanation of all
the circumstances as will justify them
iu making this expenditure of their
money. Tin township's contract calls
for an expenditure of tl 127.09 ; you ask
us to pay (1379.84 and the only reason
you assign is that the work has been
fouud satisfactory to your department;
this is insufficient reason to warrant
us iu the expenditure of this money at
this time. "
To this aame a reply from the State
Highway Depaitment, dated July Bth,
wliioli jaired the Supervisors some
what, being uot only exceedingly dis
courteous in tone but showing that iu
the Highway Department not a very
high estimate is placed npon the
skill aud experieuoe of township Sup
ervisors as roadmakers. The com
munication stated: "As to the oliar
actei of the road I think it question
able if any oue of several uovices In
road building are justified in setting
tiieir opinion against that of the rep
resentative of this department, who
made the final inspection of the road.
The amouut of presumption which
suoli an action shows is very similar
to that wliijli would be shown lu case
some of your township supervisors
should assume to know more about law
than you kuow."
Tills then is the status of affairs por
taiuiug to the State Highway. The
township Supervisors insist that they
are able to determine whether or not
the plans and specifications have been
ooinpliod with and allege that in sev
eral important details these have not
been lived np to. They also hold that
they are entitled to an itemized state
ment wliioli will fully acoonnt for the
extra eleven hundred dollars or so that
has been tacted on. The contract prioe
for the toad was <6766. 15. What the
outcome of the matter may be is un
certain. It does uot seem uulikely that
a law suit may follow brought about
by the Maryland Construction Corn
pany iu order to obtain its money.

QUARRhL HAY END
IN MURDER
With a ballet hole through his head
and one in Ilia neok, Joe Grandronno
is lyiug at point of death at the Min
ers' Hospital at Fairmount Springs,
while the wouhl-tie murderer made liis
escape, and the causes leading to the
commission of the crime, while primar
ily due to pay day at the colliery aro
complicated,the crime being committ
ed while an attempt was beiug made
to arrest Centraila foreigners who had
previously pulled a gun on Charleß
Fetterinan, of Centralia,the crime be
iug committed by a foreigner who was
leading the officers to the scene of tne
former crime, aud at a time when it
was his life or Grandrouuo's.
The quarrel started in a row of booses
on East Railroad street, Centralia,
about nine olclook, Saturday evening.
Italians lived in one end of the row ;
Charles Fetterman in the middle, aud
Polauders at the otlior end. It had
been pay (lay Saturday and Nicholas
Grnudrouno started a fight with John
Bracouey, a Polish family, the latter
alleging that Nicholas was attempting
to force an entrance into liis house.
Joe Scounioner sided in with Nicholas
as did Charlio Miller and Touie Grand
ronno, while Charlie Fetterman aud
several of the Polauders sided in with
Brnconey. Nothing more than fists
were used uutil Joe Grandronno pull
ed a guu on Charles Fetterman, shoot
ing him in the shoulder.
Information was then lodged against
Joe aud the crowd by Brnconey and
the warrants placed in the bauds of
Constables Langdon and Oaiu, who
seouretl John Conway aud Mike Grant
to accompany them. With them was
a foreigner to identify the guilty men.
When the ooustables aud their as
sistants entered the house they found
about tweuty foreigners thore but not
the men they wanted. Caiu, Conway
aud Grant started upstairs with tlio
light while Laugdon remained down
stairß in the dark.
A minute later he hoard a shot out
side, aud rushing out he fouud Joe
Grandronno aud the Polauder who had
acconipauied them to identify the
guilty parties faoiug each other. Joe
had been in hidiug under the porch
audit was for him that Cain aud the
assietauts were upstairs. His idea had
been undoubtedly to pick off the Po
lander aud the coustables as they left
the house, hnt he failed beoause the
Polauder had not entered the house.
Who fired tlio first shot is not known,
but the general expression of opinion
is that Joe had fired first. When Con
stable Laugdon appeared they had been
blazing at each otlier.and the Polaud
er mistaking hint for a foreigner, turn
ed his gun on him. Laugdon quickly
yelled to him, and fearing that if lie
shot his assailants still in the house
would fare ill, Laugdon kept his fire
in reserve, but stood gun in hand.
Quick as a flash tlio Polander turn
ed his gun on Joe aud firing twice
fellod him in his tracks, with a ballet
in his head aud oue through his neck.
Seeing what he had done, the Polaud
er fled and has not yet been captured.
The victim was then'takeu to the Min
ers' Hospital, where an oporatiou
was performed yesterday morning,
and information from tlio hospital
is to the effeot that the victim's
condition was a trifle more favorable
yesterday.
Nicholas Grandronno, who started
the first fracas, has escaped, but Joe
Scouuionder, who assisted Nicholas,
Charles Miller aud Tony Grandronno
were arrested, the latter two securing
bail, which the first named failed to
secure, and because of that is now in
the Columbia County jail.
Summer Fours—Niagara Won
derland.
For generations Niagara Falls has
been the great objective point for
toarists in the United States, and de
spite the prophecies of 1113117 savants,
it is likely to continuo so for many
more generations.
j Iu early years a Niagara Falls trip
was very expensive,the property own
eis. guides, oibmen, eto., vying as to
who conld quickest (lraiu the pockets
of the tourists. But this is all chang
ed, the state of New York oil the one
side aud the Proviuce of Ontario on
the other having reserved for Pablio
Parks the best situations adjacent to
the Falls, with froe admissions aud a
low rate of charge for licensed car
riages being rigidly enforced by the
Park Commission.
Oue speoial expensive trip was the
view of the rapids, hut now the Nia
gara Gorge Railroad Co. running a
line of trolley cars ou each side of the
Rapids, affords a fine view of the
whirlpool, etc.
One Bpecial poiut of Niagara Fulls is
that it does not fall on the senses af
ter one view, on the contrary, new
beauties are dlscernable as ofteu as

the best of its beauty is uot seen uu
til the third or fourth visit.

J. S. SANDERS
BAM INJURED
Jeremiah 8. Sanders.of Wilkesbarre,
the well-kuowu newspaper niau and
former resident of Danville, was very
badly hurt in au automobile aooideut
ou Sunday evening.
Ur. Sanders was enjoying a ride in
au automobile along with his son-io
law, and daughter. Dr. Morgan Weller
aud wife. They attempted to cross the
tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad
at South Wilkesbarre and failing to
seo the approach of a freight train,
which was running backward, they
were struck, the forward oar catting
the automobile in two. That they were
> not all killed is truly miraonlous.
The following particulars of the ac
i cident are taken from the "Wilkes
barre Leader":
"A coal train was backing up aud
; it struok the machine squarely in the
middle breaking it into kindling wood
| aud throwing out the ocunpants. Ur.
' Sanders was dragged over a hundred
teet and when picked up was nnoonsc
' ions. His leg was fraotured below the
knee and he was removed to Meroy
hospital. Or. and Mrs. Weller were
' also badly shaken up. The former had
his back bruised. All are still at the
hospital.
Dr. Weller Btated last evening that
' they were taking a pleasure trip around
the city in an automobile of the Dor
yea make. "Mrs. Woller was in the
front seat while Dr. Weller and Mr.
: Sanders occapied the rear. They weut
down Oarey avenue aud over Divisiou
street to Barney aud were on their
1 way up Barney street. As they neared
the Pennsylvania railroad traoks there,
a coal train was baoking dowu the
tracks at a fair rate of speed.
The eugine of the train evideutly
was doing some switching in the
yards. He said there was a brakemau
on the back eud of the car who mo
tioned to the occnpauts to cross the
tracks. Tiie doctor then started the
maohine slowly across the tracks, but
the train had gaiued ou them quite
rapidly.
He saw then that it was impossible
to reverse the machine so he pullod
the lever baok to the fast speed with
the intention of darting past the train,
but in another instant there waß a
crash and the machine was hurled
dowu the tracks.
As soon as the train struck the auto
Mrs. Weller jumped but tills was Im
possible for Dr. Weller aud Mr. Sand
ers as they were hemmed In. Dr. Wal
ler later escaped but Mr. Sanders was
dragged aloug the traok in the auto.
The train v/as Dually brought to a
stop aud those who saw the accident
rushed down the tracks. The pieceß
of the automobile, which was com
pletely smashed, were strewn all over
the tracks aud Mr. Sauders was piok
ed up unconscious. All thought that
he had been killed but after ho was
removed to Nagle's drug store he re
vived and it was then ascertained that
his right leg below the kuee was bad
ly broken, but that, besides a gash on
his forehead, he was uot otherwise in
jured.
Considering that he is 72 years of
age his escape was miraculous."
Jeremiah S. Sanders, the Injured
man, is a brother of Thomas Sanders,
of this city. He is a brother-in-law
of S. J. Welliver aud of Mrs. Oharles
N. Ammerman, of Riverside. He was
born in Danville and many years ago
was publisher and editor of the "Dan
ville Intelligencer." He has been
identified with several influential
newspapers in tliiß part of the State,
but at present is living retired. He is
a widower, his wife dying about two
years ago.

AN OLD VADLT
JSJJNCOTERED
P. J. Reefer with liia crew of work
men while exoavating for tho new
sewer at the roar of Mill street Mon
day morning laid bare a curious relic
of earlier Danville in the form of a
vault built of solid masonry some ten
feet below the surface.
The trench for the pipe, which at
that point is some thirteeu feet deep
was dug through the Laubach lot and
is being exteuded to the D. L. & W.
traok. Just outside the fence aud some
twenty feet from the track the work
men oame to the old vault. All that
portion nf town lias been tilled up
with cinder, ashes and like material
to a depth of seven to ten foet, the
made grouud resting upon a deposit of
soft olay. The surprise of the work
men, who had fouud digging easy,up
on oomlug upon the solid masonry cau
easily be imagined.
An investigation showed that the
vault was of Btone, a perfect arch in
form aud of flrat-olasß workmanship.
It was oompletely hidden below the
natural doposit of olay, which is proof
that it existed in the remote day be
fore there was any building iu that
part of town.
The trench outs right through the
old vault. The latter is found to be
some eight feet long by Beveu feet in
diameter. Whether anythiug of any
sort remained in the vault or not could
not be determined yesterday, as the
workmen hardly appreciating the im
portance of their And in breaking
through the walls threw the stoues
aud dirt right aud left in the old vault
half filling it up.
The queer discovery aroused a good
deal of interest yesterday aud the spot
was visited by a good mauy people.
The faot was clearly established that
the vault belonged to a by-gone gen
eration and it is exceedingly doubtful
whether there are any iu Danville even
among our ootogenarians who can re
call anythiug relatiug to the vault.
David Slielliart yesterday stated that
lie has been located on that spot for
over fifty years and uever heard any
thing of the old vault. He began there
in 1850, which was a year .at least be
fore Christian Laubacli erected the
building which at present abuts ou
the railroad,although the railroad was
not built until many years afterward.
Mr. Slielliart is familiar with all the
developments in that looality aud cb
peolally with all the Improvements
made on the Lanbaoh property aud he
Ib convinced that the vault was main
tained by a former generation.
Boyd Gearhart spent his boyhood on
that spot; Ills memory goes back aB far
as Mr. Shelhart'B and he is unable to
reoall anything that would suggest
the presence of a vault. There was a
woollen mill which stood somewhere
near that spot ill the early days of the
town, but whether the old vault was
an appurtenance of the factory Is not
easy to determine.
There is something exceedingly in
teresting abont the strange vault,firm
ly built aud hidden deep in tiio earth,
and people are naturally ourious to
"know what part it played in the town's
early days. Perhapß some of our old
timers after talking over the matter
will arrive at some conolusion which
will help to clear op the mystery.
JOHNSTOWN FLOOD
OPPOSITE STEEL PIER
The flood wliioli devastated Johns
town, Pa., aud the Oonemaugh Val
ley, May SI, 18811, is to be shown in
oyoloramio form in AtiantiaCity with
a vividness bordering on actuality. Ou
tli'j Boardwalk,opposite the new Steel
Pier, there lias been constructed a
building for this production, which
affords every faoility forAich purpose.
It is open to the publio every day aud
evening, excepting the Sabbath, at
hourly intervals, this great historic
diama will be enacted. The buildiug
which cost |so,ooo,has a frontage of 50
feet and extends outwardly so as to
give a depth of 80 feet for the stage—
the largest of the kind iu the country.
It is owned by Randolph MoNutt, of
Buffalo, N. Y., and is under the man
agement of Harry D'Esta. Tli eie au
enormous electrlo light plant, with
prisms or oolor soreens, attached and bo
arranged as to give a wonderfully real
istic effect to the rushing waters and
the upturned land. There are drawing
rooms,deoorated with ohoioe paintings
depioting interesting scenes, retiring
rooms and cozy smoking rooms. In
this way those awaiting eutranoe to
the auditorium can pass the time with
out annoyance or inoonveuienoe. Of
the oyoloramio exhibition it can be
Baid to be simply marvelous in its real
ism. Real water seems to be rushing
down the valley from South Forks
Dam,houses seem to tumble aud be
carried of by the flood, the surging
waters seem to rise up over the Oon
emaugh bridge aud swirl around
Hollow signal station, real bodies seem
to be dashed down the creek—ill faot,
the whole production has a life like
appearance that is sterling in its in
tensity. There is shown Johnstown as
it was before the flood, as it appeared
after the waters subsided, aud as it
ls.today. The celebrated Cambria Iron
Works and the Gautier Wire Works
are shown, and also the bills on tiie
other side of the town in which the
people sought safety. There also is
shown the brave John Baker as lie
