Hart man, proprietor of the Neraolotoii Silk mill, will break ground at Riverside today for a largo aimex to the parent plant in this city, which will give the residents on the South Side a prosperous industry and enable Mr. Hartman to provide for his con stantly growing business. The* news of this new move of Mr. Hartman was sprung upon the people as a sort of a surprise. Seated in his home last night the proprietor of the famous group of silk mills explained to a representative of this paperhow it happened that he decided to build in Riverside. It is a fact, he said, that a large proportion of his most proficient help live in Riverside. Many of them have a mile and a half and upwards to walk each morning and evening, which is tiresome enough in fair weather,but which in stormy weather, taking the open bridge into account, becomes a positive hardship. Mr. Hartman said ho had been considering the welfaro of these faithful young poople for some time and that in selecting a site in Riversido for his annex he was actuat ed solely by a desire to provide em ployment for them in the locality of their homes. The site selected for the Riverside mill will bo a two-acre tract at the lower end of the borough near the Pennsyl vania railroad, which was formerly occupied by the Vulcan Iron, Works and later by the brick mauufactufiug plant. The several brick structures, fairly commodious in size, which oc cupy the site, will bo of 110 account to Mr. Hartman and they will all be raz ed to the ground and an entirety now and modern structuro],will l>e built suitable foj silk manufacture. The new building will be of brick, one story high, of slow burning con- Btructou. It will be 120 feet long and fifty-three feet wide. 'Additions will be made from time to time as fast as additional help can be procured. As Mr. Hartman has planned, no limit can be given either of the final size, nor of the cost or capacity of the plant. These are matters that will depend wholly upon the questiou of help. The Riverside annex will reach out for ev ery available boy and girl on that side of the river, and the full limit of its expansion will be determined only by the number of operatives that cau be procured, Mr. Hartman has the finest and most prosperous group of silk mills to be found in this State or probably in any State. The demand for his product renders constant expansion necessary. The present year nothing less than two new silk mills will meet the de mand. It is with Mr. Hartman a mat ter of self-congratulation that he sees his way clear to placo one of these new industries uear the parent plaut so that he may be able to disburse in wages right here among our own peo ple a goodly sum of the money he re ceives for his product. Mr. Harman's policy is to always keep on training help. He already has a large number of hands, fairly well skilled, who will be well qualified to step in at the Danville plant and take the places of the Riverside operatives, when the annex on that side of the river is finished and their services are needed there. He is still employing more hands daily to inoet the increas ed demand for help that will bo pre sented by the Danville and Riverside plants. There are SfiO hands employed in the mill here at present. Work on the Riverside annex will be pushed just as fast as possible. Stone will be delivered at the site yet the present week and Mr. Hartman hopes to have the plant finished and in op eration inside of sixty days. Death of Benjamin Law. Word has been received iu this city of the death of Benjamin F. Law, whioh occurred at Buffalo, N. Y., on March stli. Mr. Law was ill for one week with erysipelas. Mr. Law was about fifty years of age. He was a man of good qualities who enjoyed the friendship and good will of those with whom he came in contact. The deceased came to this country from England about fourteen years ago, locating at Danville, where he was employed at the office of Sam uel Mills and iu the works of the Dan ville Structural Tubing Co. up to the time of his going to Buffalo about two years ago. During his illness he was tenderly cared for by Mr. Thomas Black form erly of this city. A Presbyterian minister officiated at the last sad rites and interment was made at Buffalo. A number of Danville people now residing at Buffalo were present at the funeral, among whom were Mr. Grant Sainsbury, Mr. H. O. Everett, Mr. Arthur Wertmau aud Mr. John Hoff ner, who bore the remains of the de ceased to their last resting place. Danville's Fire Department. The very effective work done by the fire department on Monday when the two barns were burned was much praised by our citizens and it is a sat isfaction to know that our town is well protected not only by means of thoroughly modern and approved fire fighting appliances,but also by a brave and level-headed set of firemen. The firo department is fully organiz ed for the ensuing year except that the Are police have not as yet been sworn in. Burgess ltogers is now ready to administer the oath to these useful officials and they are expected to present themselves at his office nt their very earliest convenience. The duty of the firo police is to rope off the ground at a fire, to control the crowd ami to protect household goods and other property when removed from a burning building. Each fire com pany has three fire ifblicemen, but un til the oath is administered to them they are not qualified to act. Purchased Drug Store. J. Mont Woodside, formerly of this city and a graduato of the Philadel phia College of Pharmacy, has pur chased the drug store at No. 2909 Rich mond street, Philadelphia. Mr. Wood aide will manage the store himself. DAGOS MIGRATE JJHAMOKIN Some thirty dagos in solemn array bearing their worldly effects upon their backs marched up Mill street yester day forenoon and passed over the river bridge. A flock of wild geese had just passed over town and the migration of the dagos like that of the geese was taken as another evidence of spring. There was a good deal of conjecture as to whore the Italians came from and whither they were bound. An inter view witli the padrone finally estab lished the tact that they were lately employed on the improvements at the State normal school at Bloomsburg and were on their way to work on the new trolley line near Shamokin. A lot of raw immigrants such as these always forms an entertaining subject of study. A greater variety of costumes it would be hard to conceive of. The head gear was varied enough, but was eclipsed by the wide range covered by the foot wear. A few of wore suits that might find a counterpart in the woods among the lumbermen and others and they dragged along on their feet ponderous felts and rubbers much too large. Oth crs, who affected the genteel, wore suits of indescribable cut and texture that 'couldn't have been made any where else than in Italy and wore gait ers in various stages of dilapidation, whichjwould seem very poorly adapt ed for work on the trolley line. There were long coats on short men and ex ceedingly short coats on men compar atively tall. There wore trousers tli at were too short and trousers that were too long aud all of them soiled and ragged. One half of the dagos and probably those who wore the most motloy, the most illfitting and ragged costumes sported a gaudy silk necktie or more properly a neckerchief—soiled like the rost of the apparel. One picturesque fellow wore a carnation. Add to the above the bundle of bag gage which each man jealously guard ed —the ceaseless chatter in strange foreign lauguago, which Americans do not understand—nor want to under stand—aud we have a picture which has become very common in these days, but which is nevertheless very enter taining. Bring Salerno to Hospital. That James Salerno, the convicted murderer now confined in the Wil liamsport jail, will bo sent to the Dan ville hospital for the insane is now the opinion of prominent lawyers and officials of Lycoming county. The man has been pronounced insane by the alienist sent to Williamsport to ex amine him by the State board of par dons ; and as none of the prisons in the State have insane wards, being simply penal institutions, they have no proper means of taking care of an in sano patient. Just at present the status of Saler no's case is rather peouliar. The man was pronounced insane, but the board of pardons has taken no other official action. It is the opinion of some that the man may not live many mouths, and the State does not C&re to take any chances by having him committed for a longer imprisonment in the Lycom ing jail. Nothing definite cau bo done by the board, however, uutil its next meeting on April 18th. In the meantime, the board will in all probability be petitioned to have the death penalty commuted to life imprisonment; and in this case there is no doubt that the board, of which the governor forms a constitutional part, will commute the sentence and order Salerno taken to the Danville hospital. Offers Reward. Danville has a lot of boys who would seem to be not only unruly, in the gen eral acceptance of the term, but who are disposed to be positively lawless and whose pranks take the form of malicious mischief. Iu the past priv ate citizens have suffered at the hands of this element, but now they seem to have turned their attention to borough property. Just at present the scene of their ojmrations i-s in the vicinity of the P. & R. depot, where they amuse themselves by breaking the electric light globes and where they have suc ceeded in interfering with the light to such an extent as to seriously weaken the service. The point most frequently assailed is Cross street, where for months past it has been impossible to keep the in candescent lights burning, which are the only ones installed there. Time and again the bulbs have been broken by stones, showing that the expensive and easily damaged lights are nightly made targets by mischief--loving boys. Through these overt acts the people on Cross street have been deprived of light a good deal of the time. The arc light on Walnut street as well as others in the vicinity also has with by the boys. The large globe on the Walnnt streot light was broken recently, while the metal shade was badly battered, by the stones thrown revealing to what a shameful extent the depredations are indulged in. The offenders thus far have been able to avoid detection. No matter how frequently the officers visit the spot wlion they arrive there the boys are somewhere else. In order to defeat the fellows and prevent further de struction of property Chief-of-Police Miucemoyer authorizes the News to announce that he will pay a reward of five dollars for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the arsons who have broken the lamps or who endanger the lights by throw ing stones at them. A. S, Übe's Horse Sale. TI(P horse sale at the White Horse hotel, Saturday, was fairly well at tended, but bidding it seems, was not of a sort to rightly eucourage Mr. Libe, the dealer, and lie refused to let all tiie horses go. Benjamin .Miller bought the liaud [ some black for $245. Matthew Ryan also bought a good horse for $lB7. The sorrel team was knooked down to Con tractor Hartman of this city for S4BO. Beyond the above the horses did not bring what the dealer considered to be a fair valuation and he refused to tell. IROAD MASTERS APPOINTED After considerable delay and difficul ty the four roadmasters needed in Valley township have been secured and roadmaking will now no doubt, proce ed without delay aud along thorough ly approved lines. The road masters are : Elmer Sidler, Edward Roberts, J. F. Hemlrickson and John Hendricks. The supervisors of Valley township organized by electing D. R. P. Childs, presidont and P. E. Maus, secretary. David Wintersteen is also member of the board. F. P. Applemau was chos eu treasurer. Valley was the second township in the county to apply for State aid in the reconstruction of road and at the proseut time has a section of State highway nearly completed, taking iu the Danville road and extending from the Mahoning township line to a point near Wise's hotel at Mausdale. Valley township unassisted iu the past has done a great deal of good work ou the public roads and its highways compare favorably with those of any other township in the couuty. Under the new law, no doubt, the very best of results will be achieved. BUSY RUSHING BITUniNOUS COAL The strike rumors have seriously affected the workmen of the Pennsyl vania railroad in this section. All along the Sunbury division the car penters and sectiou gangs have been placed on half time. The strike, however, does uot affect the Catawissa division of the Reading for while other divisions of the road are running slack the Catawissa divis ion is more congested than ever. This is explained bv'reason of the fact that practically all the traffic on the Cata wissa division is that of hauling soft coal, which is now being rushed over the line. Train 88 several days ago went over the division in eight sec tions which gives an idea of the rusli that is 011, while a railroad man stated the outlook at Newberry Junction was for more business than ever. Dixon Attacks Popular Fallacy. "lam not a bit surprised," said Health Commissioner Samuel G. Dix on "at the report I got from Wilkes- Barre that a mother there placed one of her children in bed with its little brother who had measles injorder that the healthy might, as she said, 'get the disease and be over with it.' "Perhaps this seems like a very ex traordinary and impossible case, yet in a way it is quite a usual one. For although mothers do not periiaps place their other children in bed with the afflicted one suffering from measles, they take so few if any precautions to guard the well children from the dis ease, tiiat it may be said they openly invite the contagion. And their ex planation is that measles is something everybody has to have once in a life time, that it is far less harmful in childhood than in later years, and therefore, like the Wilkes-Barre moth er, they think it better for all their children to run the measles gamut. '' I wish I could make every mother in Pennsylvania," continued Dr. Dix on, "understand whnt a dangerous dis ease measles is, and more than that, I wish X could get the mothers to ap preciate the fallacy of the belief that measles is a necessary evil. There is no more neetl of our children having measlos than there is of them having scarlet fever, and when we consider that there are many more children die from measles, its complications and sequelae than from scarlet fever, it will be seen how necessary it is to educate our people to the need of pro tecting themselves and others against this disease. "Wo must impress upon the people that besides the danger of death, the lamentablo affliction of damaged eye sight or hearing frequently follows in its wake. Tuberculosis is a frequent result, anil in fact, few other diseases are so apt to bo followed by serious re sults as the traditionally "harmless" measlos. Health Commissioner Dixon states that the department of hqplth proposes to have a placard of warning placed on the premises where measles exists. The rules of the department require exclusion from school of patients an! those exposed, and disinfection of the premises. These precautionary mea sures, Health Commissioner Dixon says will be vigorously carried out. Will Receive New Uniforms. Company F, 12th regiment, N. G. P., yesterday received requisition and measurement blanks for new cotton khaki service coats and breeches and on Thursday night the members of the company will assemblo at the armory for the purpose of being measured. The illustrations accompanying the blanks show tiiat tho suits contain many departures from those formerly in use and are models of comfort and convenience. Tlie service coat consists of stand-up roll collar, in which are placed bzonz ed collar ornaments with the insignia of department or arm of service there on. There are four patch pockets—two on each side. They are form fitting, flaring out at the hips. The breeches are for foot service and are entirely Bow in pattern, fitting snugly at the waist, wide at the hips and tapering down to the ankle, where they are tightly laced. These breeches are worn only with leggins. Company F will also be equipped with new leggins and campaign hats. New hat cords in blue will take the place of white ones formerly in use. Achenbach—Menrie A wedding took place in the parlor of City Hotel shortly after 8 o'clock, Saturday afternoon, the contracting parties being Miss Maud Henrie and Mr. Frank Aclienbach.both of Orange ville, Columbia county. The nuptial knot was tied by Rev. M. L. Shindel, D. D. The happy couple left for Sunbury on the 4 :81 train. After a short trip they will return to Orungeville wheTe they will take up their residence. WILKES-EARRE TO BLOOMSBORG | It is reported in Wilkes-Barre that the Wilkes-Barre and Hazletoii rail road company, which operates a third rail line between the points named, will build to Bloomsburg and that from present indications work will be started soon. Engineers have been at work for the past conple of weeks com pleting plans for the proposed route. For some time past it has been known among railoard men that the Hazleton company had more under way than the building of its lines into Wilkes- Barre, and all have been waiting for the plans to be made public. The first inkling that the proposed extension was from Bloomsburg to Wilkes-Barre became known a few days ago when a number of engineers, who it is stated were in the employ of the company, began their work at Berwick. There were two gangs of men, one working from Berwick to Bloomsburg aud the other from Ber wick to Wilkes-Barre. In the com pany's plans already on file provision is made for a line connecting with the present main line on the side of the mountain, near Sugar Notch, and ex tending through Warrior's Run toward Nauticoke, Nescopeck, Berwick and Bloomsburg. SPEAKS OF HISS LIHBERQER In a longtby article on "Puebla, the finest Mexican city" a very interest ing account, of the work of Miss Lim berger at that place is given. Follow ing is an extract: "One of the most conspicuous ob jects in the town is an American Pro testant church—of which Rev. Mr. Trevino is pastor—with a tall spire on a prominont corner near the plaza. The services aro conducted in Spanish. Behind it, occupying uearly a half block, are two American schools, one with 250 boys aud the other with 38a girls. While both schools are entirely uonsectarian, they are under tho care of the Methodist church. Dr. F. S. Bortou, formerly of California, is in charge of the boys' department, aud Miss Auna Limborger,formerly of Dan ville, Pa., is in chargo of the girls' school, which will celebrate its twoh ty-fifth anniversary in July. Miss i.iin berger is assisted by Miss Purdy and Miss Seescholtz of Sunbury, Pa., Miss Pennington, of Bradford, Pa., Miss Ethel V. Strong, of Philadelphia and Miss Beta, formerly of Deadwood. Rev. Dr. Bassett, formorly of lowa, is the presiding elder of the Methodist conference of this district. Miss Limberger tells me that her pupils come in about equal numbers from the Mexican families and from the foreign colonies of Puebla, aud that the school takos a high standard because the public recognizes the sup erior advantages of the American me thods iu instruction, and that the teachers are more competent than those of either the public, private or the parish school of the city. A good doal of jealousy is shown by the teachers of the church and private sohools, but the teachers of the public schools and officials of the government aro very kind and frioudly. Railroads Aid in Bug Killing. The Pennsylvania railroad author ities have responded favorably to the application of State Zoologist Surfaco for permits for his demonstrators to carry as baggage their apparatus nsed in giving demonstrations for killing the San Jose scale. This apparatus consists of a spray pump mounted on a barrel, an iron kettle tor boiling the lime-sulphur wash, and a small box of tools, hose, etc. It was found that the important work of giving these de monstrations was greatly incumbered by demonstrators being obliged to car ry their outfits as freight, and much valuable time was consumed by this method. Carrying them by express was next tried, but was found so ex pensive and troublesome as to fail in meeting the requirements of the thirty men, who are now giving demonstra tions in various parts of this State. Upon applicaton to W. J. Rose, of Harrisburg, who is a personal friend of Professor Surface, the subject of permits to aid the work of the State zoologist was taken up and placed be fore tho proper authorities of the Penn sylvania railroad, witli the result that these were granted,and the demonstra tors will be ablo to get more prompt ly from point to point without the trouble and expense that they have formerly been obliged to incur. The agricultural department is gratified with the attitude of the various rail road companios in seconding their ef forts in this important work. Last Fall the Reading company gave similar courtesies to demonstrators, : who are working in the territory reach- ] ed by the Reading railroad lines, and they are at presont enjoying the bone- ' fits of similar transportation of their apparatus. Big Demand on Forests. Witli the life of telephone and tele graph poles at its preseut, limit, tho 800,000 miles of existing lines, reqtiir iifg 82,000,000 pole», must be ronewed approximately four times bofore trees suitable to take their places may grow. A pole lasts in service about twelve years, on the average; but is made from a treo about sixty years old. In other words, to maintain a continuous supply Ave times as many trees must be growing in the forest as there are poles in use. The severity of this drain on forest resources by the telephone and telegraph companies is obvious enough. Just as in the case of rail road ties, the question of pole supply has thrust itself into prominence. To lengthen the life of poles, and in this way to moderate demand and conserve future supplies lias becomo an import ant. matter, affecting the public as well as private interests. No Local Sales at nines. Living within riflo shot of 15 collier ies, the residents of Mt. Carmel are unable to buy a pound of coal at pres ent. All the collieries refused local dealers orders Saturday and local deal ers who have been getting carload lots were turned down, cars consigned them being changed anil sent to Phila delphia. DRIVEWAY WILL CLEANED The muddy and disgusting conditio of the driveway on the river bridge, in a recent issue commented on iu these columns, was acted upon by the coun ty commissioners at their regular meet ing Saturday. The driveway will bo thoroughly cleaned off probably during the present week. | The accumulation on the bridge will make a very good fertilizer aud the county commissioners can make excel lent use of it iu filling up around the | courthouse, which is one of the im i provements they have booked for early spring time. Ou Saturday the com missioners took action anil decided to use the material on the bridge on the courthouse grounds, spreading it over the surface, where it will act as a top dressing aud at the same time raise the lawn to the level required bv the concrete pavement. The accumulation of mud on the driveway of the river bridge will bo a condition to contend with for all time unless the authorities on the South side in fixing up the approacli take the precaution to use the proper mat erial. Our commissioners take the view that if a now approach is ever built, at loast oue soction of it,next to the bridge, should be paved or con structed of solid material iu order that the element of mud may be eliminat ed. . New Awnings on Mill Street. The merchants aro getting ready to ward off the summer sunshine, which since tho general removal of the wood en awnings has become quite a factor ou Mill street. Probably never before have the stores swung out awnings in such numbers and so early in the sea sou. Among those who are putting up canvas awnings this year and whose places were already equipped yester day or will be completed .today are the following : John Eisenhart. Mrs. Douglas, T. F. Moyer.J. J. Newman, J. F. Tooley, Colieu Bros., S. ,1. Wel liver, Jesse Shannon, O. M. Leuiger, D. B. Heddens and the Baltimore Fruit Company. All of the above awnings are put up by S. P. Fuhrmau of Scranton, who has some three or four men employed on the street. The awnings are bright and attractive and the fixtures em brace all the modern improvements. Four Hours in Lock-up. Hiram 15. Cromley of West Hemlock township, who attended the horse sale in this city Saturday, fell into the hands of the police. He did several hours in the lock-up and had to pro vide for paymont of fine and costs. It is alleged fliat Mr. Cromley had been imbibing a little too freely and made himself objectionable by ridicul ing not only the horses, offered for sale, but also the judgment of the buyers. Beaching a point where for bearance ceased to be a virtue Officer Voris took him in charge and put him in the lock-up. At 7p. m., four hours after he was arrested, .lie was taken to the office of Justice of the Peace Dal ton whero he was arraigned on the charge of drunkenness anil disorderly conduct. He did not deny the charge. Pine and costs amounted to nine dol lars, and these he obligated himself to pay. Panther at Central. A strange animal supposed to be a panther, has thrown all the residents of the upper Fishing creek, Columbia county, into a state of uneasiness bordering on torror. The wildest ex citement was created in the little mountain town of Central on Monday evening by the strange animal whioh was seen to come down towards the village from the direction of the North Mountain on the west bank of the Fishing creek The panther, if such it is, came within plain sight of sev eral residents of the villago who watch ed it as it prowled around through the trees directly across the creek from the village.

IMPENDING STRIKE BLIGHTS_BUSINESS A number of merchants all through tho coal region, have already announc ed their intention of closing their stores in case of a strike. During the [ last strikeja heavy credit business was I done, and great losses sustained as a I consequence. There are already in dications of families,especially among the foreigners, laying up stores of sup plies to theffull extent of their credit. And,as it can never be told when any of these will migrate to other parts the merchants' outlook is far from bright. The most sweeping time reduction for Pennsylvania railroad shopmen at Suubury, accordingJto|tlie "Item," of that place,, since the memorable panic of 1893-I,has been ordered by the Phil adelphia officials of the company, and as the order includes nearly every de partment of the shops there it will mean a blow to Sunbury's prosperity if it lasts auy length of time. Men working in these shops will be cut twenty-five hours a week beginning Monday. Five days a week they will work only in the forenoons and they will have full holiday on Satur day. Owing to the strike it is said the P. & R. will take off as many passenger 1 traius as is possible, the two night trains between Philadelphia and Wil liamsport, known as the Buffalo Ex press, being among them. The sus pension of trains will be more com plete, than during the "strike of 1902. With the taking off of these passenger trains, the coal trade completely knock ed out and the freight cnt down to less tliau half of the normal amount,a dull summer is in store for the rail road men. j Tne'Mt.
