DANVILLE LOSES 13 INNING GAME The Labor Day base ball game at DeWltt'a Park, on Monday, proved to be one of.the most exoiting and hotly contested games ever played on the | looal diamond. Bud Logan, the old favorite of the | Danville fans, «ias iu his usual posi tion at short ou Monday but was dead against us as lie was filling the posi tion of captain of the strong Milton aggregation which after 13 oxclting Inuings soooeeded in oaptoriug the game by a soore of two to one. Exoitemeut never ran so high at the park as it did ou Monday as inning af ter inning eaoli club retired without scoring, Bibby, who pitohed for the home team, was an enigma to the vis itors, as they were only able to secore five hits front Ins delivery, and while Bibby was making trouble for the vis itors the locals were experiencing a few troubles themselves as they oould not oouneot to auy extent with the twisters handed up by oue man Brown, of Milton, who had fine control aud all the curves and allowed tiie home team only seven hits. Neither side sooied until tiie fifth lnulpg when the visitors got a man across the plate, Danville barely es caped a shut out, and did not soore untfl the ninth inning when Gosh hit safo, stole pooond and third and suc ceeded in sooring on the squeeze play wliioh was our only hope and was tried soouessfully as a last iesort. This run tied the soore and from the ninth to the thirteenth inning the wildest scenes imagiuable took place ou the hall field at every good play,aud thoro were many of them, and eaoh was oheered to the echo and as the game proceeded. Both pitchers received loud applause as the batsmen wore disposed of. The game ended at the thirteenth inning when Hertz made a hit. stole second and scored on Bnolier's slngld to right field,thus ending a most thrilling con test. Ditnville and Uiltou will probably meet again in the uoar future on the local diamond. The large crowd pre sent wore highly ploased with the game. Following is the soore in full. DANVILLE. R. H. O.

New ooils were inserted in the dyn amo at the municipal light plant yes terday. The work waa done by F, Dutflok, an expert of Sandusky, Ohio, aaiiatid by Borough Eloctrician Jones and Eugineer Jacob Byerly. The recoiliug of the dynamo is in line with the recommendations made by Mr. Clieyney.the expert from Phil adelphia, who was employed to teat the plant before it was taken off the contractors' hands by the Borough. The effect of the overhauling should he to Improve the dynamo not only by Increasing the light, but affio by re ducing the noise. A groat deal of work was Involved, as the dynamo had to be taken apart. The whole prooosa, however,waa com pleted in about seven lioura by the three men employed, wliioli is consid ered record-breakinc time. The Borough light is giving very good satisfaction. It is truo one or more mishaps have ooonrred that have shut off the light, temporarily, but these seem to have been In the line of accident for whtoh no one was direot ly responsible. The "grounding" wliioli existed at different parts of the system as tar BH practicable has been removed, aud as one of the results tiie maohinery runs with less wear aud tear. A Prolific Pumpkin Vine. B. F. Simthers, 30(1 Grand atroet, has in Ills garden a pumpkin vine that for boaring, surpasses anything of its kind thuß far reported, having thir teen pumpkins ranging In circumfer ence from four feet, four iuohes down to one foot, eight inohes. Four of the pumpkins are over four feet in olr oumferenoe; Bve of thorn are over three feet in olronmferouce and two of them are over two fret lu circum ference. 800 HORSE POWER ENGINEJNSTALLED What is undoubtedly the largest and most modern engine in Danville has beeu installed at the Nemeloton Silk Mills, owned by K. Q Hartman, this oity. It was started up Tuesday morn ing and sinoe then has been ruuning without a hitoli of any sort propelling all the maohiuery of the enlarged and now extensive plant. The ongine is a pouderoas affair, larger, it is safe to affirm, than has ever been seen by seven-tenths of the people of any community. It is a 22 and 44 by 48 stroke Gross Compound Oondeußing Hamilton Corliss engine. Itß dimensions will be better under stood whon it is explained that it is an 800-horse power engine,lnstalled to meet not only the present needs of the plant bat to provide for future ex pansion. In this oonneotion to il lustrate the rapid growth of Mr. Halt man's plant it might be stated that the presout engine is the fourth that has beeu installed sinoe the plant was started. The engiue displaoed, whioh will be shipped to Berwick, installed only a few years ago, doubled on the one preceding it, just as it iu turn is out into tho shade by the monster just now installed. To accommodate the big Oorlijs a new power house lias been ereoted on the South side opposite the oenter of the mill. The engiue, whioh is raised sixteen feet above the grouud line, is built on a solid concrete foundation eleveu feet deep. Rutweon the i*wer house and.the river, adjoining the former is a big Jeansville oondenser, using per hour 12,000 gallons of water which is drawn from the river through a seven-inch pipe. By "running con densing" as the engiue does at least tweuty-five per cont. of power is sav ed. The engine exhausts right iuto the oondenser and there is no oscape of steam when the mills are 4n op eration. Yesterday the oonneotion had not boen fully made with the oon denser, but today or tomorrow it will bo completed. The boiler feed wnter is pumped by a power pump run from the main drlvo, thus doing away with separate steam pump and giving the Corliss oon densing steam elfloienoy. The installation of the new engiue has occupied pretty much all summer, the work being iu oliarge of F. O. Cook, an expert oonneoted with the New York office of the manufacturers, the Hooven, Owens, Reutsohler Com pany, of Hamiltou, Ohio. The trans fer from the old engine to the new was made on Labor Day. Without any break iu time the mill was started up at (1:4B o'clook Tuesday morning. The ponderous engiue started off with its heavy load as though it were a mere trifle and has Biuoe been keeping things hamming without the least sign of friotiou. The big engiue is accom panied by little noise and there is a peculiar fasoination in the olook-llke aud rhythmioal motion of its various parts that is apt to enohain the visit or. The mouster pulley wheel, especial ly, is a marvel; it is eighteen feet in' diameter, five feet wide aud weighs 50,000 pounds. The belt required for this wheel is likewise a wonder,being a doable belt, forty-eight Icohes wide and approximating one hundred feet in length. The main drive is on an eight inch jack shaft, which drives the two mills separately with two 22-inoh belts. The growth of Ur. Hartman's plant has been quite phenomenal and is a splendid attestation of his teohnio'al knowledge and skill as well as of his enterprise and untiring energy. By installing the big engine, which would suffloe for a plant nearly twloe the size of the present one, he has shown a wise forethought quite in keeping with his policy of looking out for the future. Whether in the matter of help, floor spaoe or maohlnery Mr. Hartmau has always so managed affairs that when the time arrived for expansion he was ready for it. It is gratifying to know that he is still looking Into the future and that a still larger plant with all that that implies is likely at some day to materialize. Concrete Railings flitch Admired. The oonorete railings belonging to the new steps at the Court House which are now approaohing comple tion, prove very ornamental pieces of work and are innoh admired by the many comers and goers at the Mon tour House, who from week to week watch the progress of the work. The railings together with the equally ornamental newels with whloh they are oonnected,afford a glimpse of what the improvement will be like when the whole system, steps and pavemeut, are completed. The contractors have still two weeks in addition to the present In wliloh to posh the work so that it may be com pleted by the time court convenes. Unless held op by very bad weather it Is not likely that any difficulty will be experienced in getting both the conorete steps and the pavement In front completed by conrt. The side walk along West Uarket street will no doubt be iiuflnislied bat that can easily be spared daring ooart. Church Being Renovated. The interior of St. John's Lutheran ohuroh, Knst Market street, Is lining completely renovated. The wnllj and oeiling are being rnpapered and the wood work will be repainted. The work is being done by Messrs. Starts e and Robinson. GRAND ARMY VETERAN DIES Robert Moodle.an old aud respected oitizen, who was born and raised in Danville, died at bis hoiuo on D L. & W. avenue, yesterday morning at 10:15 o'olook of a complication of dis eases. | Mr. Moodie held the poßitiuu of watohman at the steel plant property for sixteen years prior to his death. He was compelled to stop work last April, however, ou acoonut of ill health, but It was not until last Fri day that his indisposition took a ser ious turn. On that day lie took to his bed and his ooudition rapidly grew worse until the ond. Tlie deceased was a member of Good rich Post, No. 84, G. A. It., and has an excellent war reoord.

At Cold Harbor lie was severely wounded in tlie arm,aud it was ou this aooount that he was never afterward able to perform arduous labor. Mr. Moodie was also a member of a Baltimore lodge of Knights if Pythias. Mr. Moodie lived in Baltimore for a number of years after Ills disoliarge from the army, aud returned to' this city to reside in 188'i.

Daring the parade at Denver, Col orado, Tuesday Judge Harry White of ludiana County, who presided at Court in Montour County last winter, was thrown from his horse and slightly in jured. Judge White provided at our court during the trial of several important oaßes, among them being the Cromley damage suit against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. He is a most able Judge, while his natural courtesy no less than his ability won liiui many friends in Uontour County, who will bo sorry to learn nt the mishap. As Judge White was riding In the parade his horse reared at the approaoh of an aide to marshal and he fell heavily to the pavement. He sustain ed a out on his left leg, bat b»yond this as far as could be ascertained he was not seriously hart. He Insisted apon remaining in the parade. Qeneral Harry White has a remark able military record. He entered the Union Army at the beginning of hos tilities in 1861 as major of the Sixty seventh Pennsylvania Infantry. While in the army he was elected State Sen ator, serving in the session of 1803-68. Returning to his oommand, he was oaptured by the rebels during the bat tle of Winchester. The election of 1863 made the Seuato a tie without his vote, and vain efforts were made for his release, the Confederate govern ment sending him to solitary confine ment at Salisburg, N. O.,where he re mained sixteen months, when he es caped. Before leaving Libby he si nt his resignation from the Senate con oealed in a Testament. Rejoining his oommand he Berved until the end of the war, having meanwhile been pro moted to the ooloneloy of the regi ment and brevettcd brigadier general. General White is best known in Penn sylvania as Judge Harry White, ow ing to his long scrvioe on the bench. Played Street Piano. There are good ways and poor ways of doing everything, and inoloded among the things to whloh this axiom applies is playing a stieot piano. The people who happened to be ou Mill street noar Jacobs' oonfectionery store early Monday evening were en ohanted by beautiful rnusio which,up on investigation,lhey found to be issu ing from a speoimen of the despised street piano. The reason for the de lightful music waß easily found, how ever, in the fact that the motive pow er was being sapplied to the docrepit machine by a young ladv. Miss Kinina Dunn, of Hazleton. a guest at Ihe Jaoobs home. Miss Dunn,who is an amateur music ian of exceptional ability, was entirely displeased with the manner in which the swarthy sons of Italy had operated their mnsioai vehicle, and was show ing them the error of their musical ways. Toe Badly Cut. Walter Snyder, of West Mahoning street, had one of his toes very badly Injured while working at the Hanover Brewing Company's plant on Monday evening. A half a barrel filled with beer fell on his foot, the edge bound with iron hoop stiikiug the lop of his big toe and half severing that mem ber Dr. Curry rendered surgicol at tentiou. Pope's Delegate. Aroh Bishop M> uiou.special delegate of the Pope lo Anmiiuii, 10 Invktiuiite the moral and int'llectual conditions of the Poles uf tins country,arrived at Shamokln, Tunsdav, and was met by ten societies of the parish there. A recoption was tendered him at the parochial realdenoe. THE TIII-COUNTY i FARMERS' PICNIC I The Tri-Oouuty Farmers' Picnio, i which wan held at DoWitt's Park, Sa turday, wan not an unqualified suc i oesH. the riay being damp and threat ening and in all only a little less on favorable than August 12th, the first 1 date set for the farmers' picnic. The day dawned cloudy. By 9 o'clock rain began to fall in slight showers, ; whioh continued ac intervals all day and at nightfall culminated iu a set tled rain. Between the showers the sky would brighten, but it would only be i for an hour or so. Uuder the circumstances hundreds of people weie deterred from leaving their homes, notwithstanding that ex pensive preparations had been made for the picuic, which had been talked about and written about for many weeks previously. Those that did turu out. however,ran away up in the hundreds. By 10 o'clock vehicles be gan to pass through town, frequently in an unbroken line oxtendiug along several squares. It was a day in which every road seemed to lead to DeWitt's Park and these at different points pre sented the satno congestion of vehi cles* The number of people at the park about noon wa* estimated at one thonsaud, which all conceded was less than one-fourth of what would have been present had the day beeu fair. At very frequont intervals.it is true, the piouiokers were obliged to scamp er for shelter, which proved adequate to accommodate all preseut Never theless. the ocoasiou proved enjoy able. A largo numbor found eujoy uiont in dauoing, which continued with few intermissions until dark. Tho one indispensable foatnre was the dinner. The contents of the well-filled baskets would have proveu a tempting feast under any ciroumstcnces; but the dinner in the grove amid the festal surronndings seemed to add zest and just at noon the paik presented a hap py and an animated picture. Many took both dinner and supper at tho pafk. Hon. William T. Greasy was preseut and dolivored an address. It was one of his characteristic talks, in whioh the farmers were given muoh excel lent advice. Farmer Oieasy believos iu the potency of organization and no class of people, he held, has more to gain from it than farmers. The farm ers, he said, constitute the pillar of the nation and yet no class of people receive less consideration from our law makers. The farmer, ho said, should not be content "to sit at the BOC ond table." He should demand his rights and organize not only to secure better laws, but to advance his inter ests along the line of insurauoe, tele phone servioe,&c. In his address, Mr. Creasy took occasion to urge upon the farmers that they keep up with the times in every respoct, especially in the matter of dress, avoiding oareless and uncouth appearance,whioh is not at all consistent with good taste,piog ross or general prosperity. He said that there was uo reason why the farmer should not livo as comfortably and dress ns well as resideutsof town. AH that was ueeded, he said, was for them "to roach down in their pock ets;" it would be potting the mousy to the best possible nse. On September 16th the Committee and others interested in tho Tri-Oouu ty Picuic Association will oonvono iu the Grand Jury room at tho Court ; Hoose, at whioh time members of tho < new Oommittee will be eleoted aud a i President and a Secretary will be i chosen. i Death of l*lrs.

RURAL SCHOOLS ; ARE ALL OPEN The publio schools of the county are - now all open and movlug along nice ly. In several of the townships the schools started cu Monday, August 28th. The remainder opened this t wen*, on Monday or Tuesday, as Lab or Day in the district happened to be observed or not. During a conversation with Uounty Superintendent (J. W. DeVr last even iug it was learned that the schools throughout the rural distriots never i opened under more auspioious cir cumstances. The teaoherß without ex ception rank well in point of learning and practice iu teaching. The soliools | are well attended considering that it' is eaily iu the term when the boys and ' girls of the farm as a rule aio kept pretty busy at home.

Mr. Lenlger's Aquarium. Druggist O. M. Leniger is an am ateur aquarlst who merits more than a passing notioe. He is something nio'e than a mere buyer and seller of gold fish aud kindred species. He has gone into the subject soioutifically and bosidos being a great lover of the beautiful little fish he has stored his mi lid with a vast doal of knowledge concerning their care, their habits, modo of living, &o. Some time ago our druggist began to interest himself In the subject of breeding fish aud by and by ho thought he had gained enough infoimation to undertake the difficult art liimsolf, it is a faot that broeding is rarely ever at tempted by persons situated as is Mr. Leuiger> Among Ills oolloction of fish are two Paradise-fish of India, wiiioh are beauti ful beyond description. These boing nest builders the druggist took hold of the matter according to the Informa tion lie had gained and prooeeded to raise Paradise-fish. What he did or how he did it are matters that need not be explained here. Suffice it to say | that he was suocossful and the two , beautiful nest builders have been do- j ing their best all summer to prevent j raoe suicide of their kind. The fish | spawned on June 17th, on July Btli, on July 22nd and again on August Btli. Mr. Leniger had several things to learn however, about the oare of the beautiful aud sensitive little fish. The fruit of the seoond spawning were all killed by a match falling into the | globe that ooutaiued them. The sec- ond crop were also killed by some swamp water whioh found Its way in to the aquariam. Four of the first spawning survive and these,which are ' now about an inch long, Mr. Leniger . points to with especial pride. It Is the fruit of the last spawn, liowover, that the druggist expeots the most of. ' Tlioro are some four hundred of these, not much bigger than gnats.it is true, j but very activo aud healthy little fel lows, which will no doubt profit by the experionco that Mr. Leniger has gainod anil will grow into grauitul swimmers in all respects a.i beautiful as their parents. Indue time Mr. Leniger will occupy the unique posi tion of selling Paradise fish of his own breeding. ' Robbery at flartin Landau's.
