STATUS l)F THE CANAIJDESTIUN A great deal of inquiry lias been ourrent lately an to the status of the canal question. The old water way, sinoe its abandonment.has been allow ed to remain uncared for nntil now it ie not only an unsightly ditoh tiiat is not at all in keeping with the other improvement!! about the city, bat is also a menace to the health of the commnuity. Daring last Spring the matter was brought to the attention of President Troesdale of the D. L. & W. Railroad and he later expressed his desire that a conference be held between the Kail road engineers and the Borough offic ers to ascertain what was the best way to eliininate.the evil. As a result Div ision Engineer G. J. Kay with sever al assistants came to this city on July sth,and after going over the situation met witli the Sewer Oommittee of Counoil and representatives of the Danville Board of Trade, the loaal representatives explaining to Mr. Kay that it was their desire to have a ter ra-oetta pij)e line run along the bot tom of the canal. On the Bfh of July Borough Olerk Patton, acting under the direction of Oatyiqil, wrote to Mr. Kay, stating tMMilie Borough was willing to fill in the canal from the aqueduct to Wall street if the D. L. &W. would pipe the ditch for that distance and turn the pipe line over to the Borougli to be used for sewage purposes. Since that time no word has beeu reoeived from the railroad. The people of Danv'lle anxiously await the deoisiou of the D. L> & W. Company, and regret the delay in dealing with so important a question. There are, liowevor,excuses which the D. L. & W. might offer for not giving immediate attention to the caual ques tion in this city. The offiuials of the railroad are laboring under a press of work all along the line. Division En gineer Kay alone having oliarge of jobs amounting to |fioo,ooo betweeu North umberland and Riughamton, and hav ing under liis direction 18 assistant eugineers. It is estimated that Hnrrisburg's tight against last winter's outbreak of small pox cost $23,000. As there were about 800 cases the average cost per case, therefore, fell a trifle short of SBO. INSURANCE MEN READY FOR PROBE CHIOAQO, Aug. 2. —An inner cot erie of state iusurance commissioners at the invitation of Commissioners Folk of Tennessee aud Prewitt of Ken tucky will hold a Boorot session in Chi cago today to discuss reforms among insurance companies and incidentally among their brother officials. The object will be first to consider the Equitable and ucxt to determine on somo policy that will prevent offic ers of other insurance companies from taking the lib irtiOß charged to Hyde and Alexander. Only such commissioners as could be relied implicitly have been invited to tho conference whioh is preparntorv to the annual conventon to he held next month at Benton Woods. At the caucus today certain reforms are to be reoommnnded which the sel ect oommissic ners hope to put through at tho convention. Commissioner Folk, of Tennessee, Host, of Wisconsin, Voris, of Ohio; Vary, of Michigan; Prewitt, of Ken tucky; Oarroll, of lowa, aud O'Brien, of Minnesota, are linto. It is said tiiat even insurance com missioners themselves aro not snow white that tho reformers are to begin witli tlieui. Commissioner Folk, is a brother of Oovornor Folk,of Missouri, and has taken tho initiative in the work. It was he who recently sent to the insurance societies of liia stato a list of questions which, under penalty of losing liconse, each company was required to answer unilor oath. One of the most important of the moasures to he advooated is that of an examining board to be made up of the commissioners of the several states. This, in the belief of the reformers will eliminate the possibility of graft and be more satisfactory In the end. fluch Candy is Poisonous. Food Commissioner Warren has an nounced that his agents have obtained evidenoe that muoli impure candy and cake is being sold. Ho said that his attention was nailed to the mattor by parents who had been advised by phy sioiaus that the stomach ailments from which their children were Buffering was doe to their having eaten doctor ed candy and cake, and a chemical analysis of samples hail disclosed that mineral pigments or orchres had been used to make artifioial chocolate He said that in many casus it had been found that in some artificial chocolate layer aake the ohocolate consisted of ordinary pigment and glucose, while a ooal tar dying belonging to the azo group, many of whioh are poisonous had been substituted for eggs. Ohoco late fudge has been discovered to be nothing more or less than paint and glucose. He said his counsel, State Senator Brown, is preparing a case that would mean the arrest within a fow days of a well known Philadel phia manfaotnrer in connection with the sale of artifloial chocolate. Fast hrult Train. Since the yellow fever epidemic the vast trade in tropical fruits dono in New Orloans will largely be diverted to New York. Most of the fruit is shipped to tho west and northwest. To aocomuiodate the trade the Penn sylvania Railroad Company will put on a spnoial fast freight train, which will be run to Chicago on a rapid pass enger schedule. Arrangements will be made with the lines west to inaugurate the same sonree of movement and thus establish a special fruit express from the At lantic to the Pacific. Summer trade Is beginning to make room for the heavier business of fall. These tfade changes mark tho advauoe of the seasons. REUNION OF 137§_REGIMENT An interesting military event will take place in Danville on September 17tli next. This will be a reunion of the One Hundred and Thirty-seventh Regiment P. V. I.,the first reunion of whioh took plaoe in our town some fifteen years ago. Company A, under Captain Shrevo, was made up in great part of Danville men.

In the early days of the Civil War during the year 1861,the United States Government opened a recruiting oflioe in this oity. At that time John Bubb was a well known young man in the community, and was employed at the Rolling Mill now owned by the Read ing Iron Company. Among other young men who at that timo enlisted in the servioe young Bubb placed liis name on the roll aud was accepted, and became a private in the 12th United States Infantry. He was sent to the front, where he proved to be a soldier as brave as any who ever entered the service. He was with the army of the Potomao during the entire oampaign, and through meritorious service was from time to time promoted until, at the close of the Rebellion he had reached the offiue of Seoond Lieutenant. At the expira tion of his first enlistment he re-enlist ed and was transferred with the 12th Regiment at the close of the war to the western frontier, where he continu ed to advanoe until today he is the Colonel commanding the regiment in whioh he originally enlisted, aud is stationed in California. His long service has entitled him to the high position he has reached, and it will be only a few years until lie has reached the age limit for Army Officers, aud will be retired on the liberal allowanoe provided by the gov ernment.

With a bullet in liis left side, whioh he claims was the work of highway men, Nelson Hoover,aged thirty years, of Shamokln.was brought to the Mary M. Packer Hospital for treatment, Su nday. Hoover contends that he was on his way home Saturday night, when he was attaoked at the interseotion of Commerce and Pearl streets, Shatnok in, by two strange men. To defend himself, Hoover drew a revolver from the hip pooket of his trousers, but before he could use it, the men disarmed him and shot him in the side with his own pistol. They then placed him in a bag and oarried him up the railroad truck half a mile, and took all his money, which amounted to twenty dollars. It was nearly morning when he re gained consciousness. There seems to be suspicious parts to the story and Hoover's word Is doubted in tiie vicinity he alleges the assault was committed. State Honey for Schools. W. O. Shaeffer, Superintendent of Publio Instruction at Harrisbnrg, is sending out the warrants for the State appropriation to the various school treasnrers of the county. The special appropriation whioh was received by all the soliool.districts of the State for the past three years, which was grant ed by a special act of the Legislature in 1902, for a period of three years,ex pired last year, consequently all dis tricts are just short that much. The regular appropriation this year is about the same in all cases as last year. Superior to Imported Wines. Dr, S. F.

His Port, Claret aud Burgundiess are ex traordinarily flufv ARGUMENT IAS JELD MONDAY The argument in the injunction pro ceedings against the Danville and Suu bnry Street Railway Company in which M. F. Uulick is plaintiff took place before Judge Savidge at Sun bury Monday. The hearing began on Monday morning of last week and by the timo evidence was all in it WBB time to adjourn. Tho argument.there fore, was postponed until vestorday. ; The injunction proceedings were in stituted on July 12th, M. F. Gnliok seeking to restrain the defendants from laying the traok of thoir trolley line in front of his proporty on Hazle ton avenue without first obtaining his consent. Tho trolley company desires to lay its track opposite the Gulick dwelling next to the railroad, whioh it claims is a half of the street over which the plaintiff has no jurisdic tion. Gulick, however, takes the posi tion that the Pennsylvania railroad lies in tho center of Ha/.leton avenue and that as his half ho controls the entire spaoe betweon the building line and the railroad. The hearing was first postponed from Monday, July 17th, to Monday, July 24th, when it was understood the hear ing would bo fiual. It was a disap pointment thorofore when it was dis covered that the argument could not be heard on that day. Tho argument took place yesterday as arranged, but those who looked for a conclusion of the affair were doomed to further disappointment. Oeorge M. Reimensnyder.of counsel for the plain tiff made the opening argument. He was followed by Grant Herring and James Scarlet for the defendants, H. M. Hinckley winding up for the plain tiff. Judge Savidge lias reserved' hiß decision. It is not known how long it will be before an opinion is handed down, but it Is hoped that it may not be long. Safe Arrival of DeLong Family.

INDEPENDENTS MING COAL For the first time in the history of the authraoite mining region the in dividual ooal operators of this section are stocking prepared ooal at the mines says a despatoh from Hazleton. That the mine owners are not aotuat ed in this matter by philanthropio mo tives in furnishing employment for the ooal heavers may be inferred from the statement of one of these men on Mon day last, when he said : "The lesson learned by the mine owners in the last strike was a most valuable one. The mine owner now fully realizes that the employes are a business entity,and must be reokoned a party to the money making scheme wliioh the preparation and Belling of ooal involves." The action of the Pardees, Leisen riugs, Markles, Coxes and numerous small operators who, during the week began unloading oars of prepared domestio sizes near the mines, gives proof positive that they appreciate better than ever before tne nooeßsity for doing BB the larger corporations have been doing—making ooal yards of their own and hnßbanding a stock for any emergency. There is a taoit agreement among the independent operators that,in event of hostilities being opened next April, the direotion of the fight shall be left to one of the larger railroads, either the Laokawanua or the Reading. Whatever this influenoe may dlreot will be aocepted by shippers of every oalibre. This is part of the lesson wliioh the smaller operators had forc ibly impressed upon their minds dur ing the last strike, and they are now profiting thereby in storing ooal on their own property. That the operators are disposed to believe that the United Mine Workers cannot put up as strong a front as they did three years ago was shown at a meeting held reoently in Hazleton, when a representative of one of the big ooal carrying railroads stated that the death of Mark Hanna took from the mine workers their strongest ad vocate and most powerful friend. President Mitohell in an interview stated that if the United Mine Work ers' organization has 180,000 by next year he oau secure recognition and present wage conditions. If the organ ization has half that many members lie can guarantee tbem nothing.

BEAOTIES DF NATURE AT GROUNDS There are few, fatiny, spots abou the country which at this time of the year present a more pleasing appear ance than the grounds surrounding the Danville Hospital for the Insane. A stroll through the Rpao<oas grounds is a revolation of the beauties of land scape gardening. The grounds are kept in perfoct condition throughout the year, but espeoial pains are expended upon their oaro during the spring and summer mouths. The beautiful ex panse of olose cropped, terraced lawn, dotted here and there with beds of beantifnl blooming flowers, the mag nifloent shade trees, the well kept driveways, the sparkling fouutains, all combine to present to the eye a vista that is inspiring. The hot house in the rear of the main building is the winter home of many of the rare Southern plants that graoe the lawn during the summer; so that parts of the groouds rosemble tropical gardens resplendent in palms, century plants aud other tropioal growths. On either side of the main entrance paths lead to wooded dells where the soft shade of largo overhanging trees and the winding brook invite the wanderer to rest. The neatness that seems to bo the controlling spirit of the institution does not confine itself to the beautiful expanse of garden in front of the main building, but extends to all parts of the grounds. In the truck garden in the roar, at the small picnio ground, in the attractive little summer houses, in fact all over the place are notioe able the careful attention that is giv en the Hospital grounds. The Berwick Bridge. Looking into Berwick's future a great growth of population may be seen and a wide expanse of territory oovered with residences, business places, shops, and mills. All of this can be readily foreseen when author itative announcement is made that the Berwick plant of the American Gar and Foundry Company will bo made the largest car manufacturing plant of the sixteen owued by the company. Along with Berwick, West Berwick, North Berwick, Nescopeck and all Bniallflr towns ou both sides of the river will grow and here we center down to the objective point. With the towns on both sides of the river grow iug it can readily be seen that the trafflo across the new bridge will be greatly increased. Possibly to start with there will be ten tiuics as many persons and conveyances to cross the new bridge in a day as there were to cross the old bridge. This tratlic may be increased within a few years to such an extent that thero will bo more people crossing the Berwink-Nescopcok bridge than any that spans the Sus quehanna. Danville with a haud»ome new bridge, conorete floor and all modern in construction would be no where in comparison in traflio with a bridge at this place. We now look with pride and satis faction upon the progress being made in preparation for the building of the piers and the work whioh is to follow in the erection of our bridge. But here tho conservative citizen stops to think and look into the futuie. It is a fact that the State will build our bridge and the people are pretty well acquaint ed with tho plans. Wo all of us know that the floor in tho bridgo is to bo of plank and a plank floor ou such a bridge doesn't seem to come up to our expectations. It isn't in keeping with our progress and from an economical standpoint of view it is agitated that action should be taken at the present time toward having the plank floor stricken from the plans and a concrete floor laid. The engineer in charge states that the iron work will be just as heavy as was recommended In the report,whioh entailed the oonorote floor, and there should be no reason why concrete can not yet be laid. It is the daty of the Commissionors of Columbia county and Luzerne coun ty to oonsider this point carefully. Take up the matter with the trolley company whioh expeots to enter tiie Borough of Nescopeck by orossing the bridge. If the subjeat is thought over carefully the Commissioners will doubtless see the chance to economize by arranging for a concrete floor.—Ber wick Enterprise.

Summer Tours—Niagara Won derland. For generations Niagara Falls has been the great objeotive point for tourists in the United States, and de spito the prophecies ot many savants, it is likely to continue so for many more generations. In early years a Niagara Falls trip was very expensive,the property own ers, guides, cabmen, etc., vying as to who could quickest drain the pockets of tho tourists. But this is all ohaug ed, the state of New York on the one side aud tho Province of Ontario on the other having reserved for Public Parks the best situations adjacent to the Falls, with froe admissions auil a low rate of charge for licensed car riajes being rigidly enforced by the Park Commission. One speoial expensive trip was-the view of the rapids, but now the Nia gara Gorge Railroad Co. running a line ot trolley cars on each side of the Kapids, affords a fine view of the whirlpool, otc. Ono special point of Niagara Falls is that it does not fall on the senses af ter one view, on the contrary, new beauties are disaeruable as often as visited aud many persons assert that the best of its beauty is not seen uu- | til the third or fourth visit. In contradistinction to the old sys- j tem of expensive, wearisome travel ling necessary to visit Niagara in for mer years, the Ten Day Ten Dollar tours by tho Reading-Lehigh Valley route are very noticeable. Special trains leave Reading Terminal 8:80 a. m. July 13. August 3 aud ID, Septem ber 2 aud I t and October 6, and after a daylight run through the soenio Le high and Wyoming Valleys, arrives at Niagara Falls in the early evening.
