TWO TEAMS INA RUNAWAY A two-horse team running away at a breakneck pace affords a spectacle ex citing enough for most people, but when you multiply it by two and ob tain a picture of two such teams dash ing along one after the other you have a positive "thriller" the like of which is not often witnessed. A spectacle of this exciting nature was witnessed by the residents of North Mill street about half past 2 o'olock Tuesday afternoon. The two runaway teams were employed in haul ing wood for the Catawissa paper mill company, from the tract beiug cleared above Sidler hill to the P. & R. rail way near the Mill street crossing, where it will later bo loaded on the cars. When tiie runaway occurred the two wagons had Just been unloaded and the horses were left unattended while the drivers busied themselves iu pil ing up the wood. The horses—four big iron greys—had plenty of spirit and while standing alone got frightened and started to run. Iu an instant the teams were beyond the drivers' reach and close together weut gallopiug iu Mill street. Few vehicles were ou the street at the time and these were quick ly pulled aside aud the ruuawav teams were giveu the right of way. The de livery wagon of the Danville Milling oompauy, driven by O. A. Fry, which was standing at Pursell's store, escap ed by the narrowest possible margin, being driven around the corner just as the teams dashed onto the spot. As the first team reachod Centre street a gentleman standing near rush ed into the street aud attempted to stop the horses. This merely had the effect of turning the team in another direction and it attempted to escape up Centre street. In striking the brick pavement,how ever, one of the horses fell and carri ed along by the fearful momentum gained it was dragged over the bricks for twenty feet. At this juncture Kd ward Pursell ran out from the store and caught the other horse. The fall en animal was released by the big crowd which rapidly collected. The horse escaped serious injury, while the harness was only slightly brokeu. Meanwhile the second team dashed by and continued up Mill street. Where its flight would havo ended it would be hard to tell, had uot. 'Bert. Gill ran out of his store anil pluckily caught onfe of the horses. It is a question whether he could have brought the team to a stop had not George Sidler, who is employed on the street, rushed up and struck the other horse over the nose with his sweeper. A few min utes after the horses were stopped the driver arrived aud took them iu charge. SOME IMPROVE MENTS NOTED Quite a number of buildiug im provements may be noticed about town thill spring, which not only add to the convenience of the occupants and the value of the property, but serve to improve general appearances. Mrs. D. M. Boyd is having a large window placed in the eastern side of her Bloom street resideuce on the first story near the front. The window is a very large one, five feet wide by five feet, teu inches high, the upper aud lower glass each being 82x56 inches. The window is fiuished iu black wal nut, aud has insido sliding hliuds, al so of waluut. The wiudow is au added attractiou to the beautiful residence aud admits abundant light where be fore was a blank wall. Trumbower & Werkheiser are putting iu the wiudow. Mrs. Boyd is also building a ten foot annex to her brick carriage house at the rear of her residence. The southern side of the buildiug is torn down aud the brick layers have begun work. John A. Mowrey has the work iu charge. The floor in a portion of the Sper rlng building is being lowered two feet to conform with the present grade of Mill street. This leaves some seven feet in the cellar, aud gives the room above a very high ceiling. The apart ment being remodeled is the one next to the canal and when completed will be very desirable for a store or office. Wallace Hoover is doing the work. Elmer Mowrey is remodeling the large stable on his premises coruer of Ash and Centre streets into a commod ious house. The buildiug, 28x40 feet, will contain seven rooms aud a bath. The work is well uuder way. Frank Startzel and sou,W. B. Start zel, are papering the hallway of city > hall and are making a very good job of it. Two of the apartments occupi ed by Chief-of-Police Mincenioyer are • also to be papered. Surprise Party. A delightful surprise party was held at the home of Mr. aud Mrs. Jacob Seohler, 205 Grand street, 011 Tuesday eveuiug iu houor of Mr. Seohler's thirtieth birthday. Those present were : Mr. aud Mrs. Thomas Kerns, Mr. and Mrs. William Blecher aud sou Dan, Mr. and Mrs. Burns and daughter Nellie, Mrs. Shambach,Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Ktihn, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Mailer aud three children, Mr. aud Mrs. Daniel Weiden saul and two children, Mrs. Dan Fet ternian.Mrs. Ben Andrews aud daugh ter Marie, Mrs. Edward Albeck,daugh ter Mildred uud sou John, Mrs. Charles Kinn, Mrs. Ourry Foust.Mrs. William Pickiu, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Sechler, daughter Cordelia aud sous Henry and Samuel. Teachers Ask for More. At a meeting held recently the teach ers of the Hazletou schools decided to request tlie board for a general iu , crease iu salaries. The teachers con tend that a general iucrease is merited because the cost of liviug has advanc ed materially within recent years. The hoard has established a maximum sal ary for the various grades and when a teacher reaches this limit uo iucrease is made, regardless of the time of ser vice. The lowest salary paid is $75 a month WATER FOR GULICK'S ADDITION The several families, who occupy the remote part of the borough kuowii as Gulick's addition, after many years of waiting, it would seem are at lust to enjoy some of the conveniences of borough water. There are no finer building sites in the borough than are to be found iu Gulick's addition, but unfortunately up to the present the locality has been cut off both from electric light and borough water. Meanwhile here and there wells were sunk and the resi dents endeavored to get along as well as they could. The lack of water, how ever, has proven a serious drawback and in order to induce the borough to extend the water system and to install electric light a petition numerously signed asking for these utilities was presented to council at its meeting Friday night. The matter was refer red to the proi>er committees. The water committee visited Gulick's addition yesterday morning, looking carefully over the ground. There would seem to be scarcely any doubt from what has been learned but that the committee will report in favor of carrying water to Gulick's addition. It is a very big proposition it is true, and will necessitate an extension of the water main nine hundred feet long. Under the circumstances it is not unlikely that the residents in Gulick's addition will be asked to compromise on a two-inch main, which will supply the hydrant, at the dwel lings, but will not provide for fire protection. Ilow the committee 011 electric light will report remains to be seen. Angered Bull Nearly Kills Boy. Made mad by the flashing of ft roil dress iu his face a vicious bull attack ed the six-year-old sou of Mr. Reicli eubach, who resides 011 the farm of Hou. S. P. Wolvertou near Klines grove,Monday uignt about six o'clock, and would have killed the boy but for the timely arrival of his father. The animal was iu the barn yard wheu two young girls happened along, one of them was attired iu a bright red dress and passing uour the fence noticed that the crimson hue was quite distasteful to the aumial, taunted him by waving her skirt in his face until he became highly infuriated. While the enraged animal was tear ing around the barn yard the,'boy en tered and the bull made for him. Be fore he knew what had happened him tlfi) animal had knocked the child down and was madly rolling him on the ground. Just as the animal was about to gore the child after a five minutes oue sided tussle the father happened along and quickly grabbing a large pitcli fork set to work to res cue his son. By sinking the sharp prongs of the fork deep into the en raged animal the father after a despe rate encounter which lasted five min utes was successful iu conquering the bull aud saving the life of his son. 2 The injured boy was taken to Sun bury to the office of Dr. Kice where his injuries were dressed. An exami natiou showed that no bones were broken, but the boy's body was badly contused and it will be some time be fore he fully recovers from the results of his awful experience State Convention.

COLLIERIES RESUHE— MINERS REJOICE Shamokin District Cioes to Work Today—Trevorton Celebrates. Most of the collieries iu the Sha mokin district will resume work to day, and the miuers are jubilaut over the prospects of going to work. At Trevorton last night a monster demonstration was held, iu which BIG CROWD. Tiie people of Danville turned out en masse Saturday night and Mill streot, with its sidewalks literally orowded with pedestrians, presented a very interesting sight. The stores no doubt did a good busiuess. Except for a scrap at the north end of town, in which oue poor fellow was badly bruised,there was no noise or disorder worth speaking of. GEORGE R. DERIARD GENERAUECRETARY Ueorge K. Bernlianl of Scottdale, who as previously stated in ttiese col umns, was a candidate for the posi tion of general secretary of the Y. M. O. A. at this place, met the board of directors at a special meeting held iu the association parlor Moudayjeveniug. There was nearly a full membership of the board present and the result of the meeting was most gratifying. Mr. Beruhard was pleased with what he learned concerning the local field, while the directors, one and all, were more than pleased with Mr. Beruhard aud believed that they saw iu him a most successful Y. M. C. A. worker, botli as to liis ability to wiu and hold the boys aud to assist in building up the association financially. After talk ing over the matter for about an hour, while Mr. Bernhard still remained in the room, it was uuauimously decided to invite him to accept the position of general secretaryship of the Danville Y. M. C. A. Mr. Bernhard iiad al ready well considered the matter and he promptly accepted. Mr. Beruhard is a married man and is the father of three boys. He will enter upon his position here before July first. Previous to the meeting Mr. Bern hard mot soveral of our citizens in the Y. M. C. A. rooms, among them a representative of this paper. Ho made a very fine impression. He is still young, although he has had pleuty of experience and understands the ways of the world. He is a magnetic young man whose earuestness aud zeal are evident in every sentiment lie uttered, in every gesture and in every glance of the eye. The effect of only a brief interview is sucli as to indicate that he should make a first class general secretary. Scottdale, where Mr. Bernhard at present is general secretary of the Y. M. C. A., is situated some fifty miles southeast of Pittsburg. It is a town of about 5000 inhabitants aud supports a flourishing Y. M. O. A. Several very fine testimonials have been received by the board of directors here attesting to the very excellent results that have attended Mr. Bernhard's labors in Scottdale. He took charge of the Y. M. C. A. there one year and a half ago. He fouud the association there in debt aud poorly equipped. Not only has the indebtedness been liquidated and the equipment much improved by Mr. Beruhard, but now on the eve of iris resignation there is a handsome surplus iu the treasury. The people of Scottdale as is natural are very anx ious to retain Mr. Beruhard, but as lie stated last evening he feels that he has accomplished about all that re mains for him to do iu Scottdale and that the time has come when he should seek a new field. Old Potatoes Scarce. The curb stone market is a small proposition at this season of the year, the greater part of the farm products required to supply the town being un loaded on the stores, which became the principal centers of distribution. Notwithstanding that uew po tatoes, shipped from the south, are otfered for sale, old potatoes have the call aud the new ones are secondary in demand. Comparatively few old potatoes are brought to market by the farmers aud these in most instances are sold out by the bushel. Persons who wish to buy in smaller quantities mostly do so at the stores. Potatoes were unusually scarce iu market yes terday and there were many inquires at the wagous, but iu every instance the answer was the same. The few potatoes that were brought into town were disjiosed of early at 80 cents per bushel. The stores nearly all, how ever, keep themselves supplied with old potatoes,which retail at about the same price. The merchants, however, state that few potatoes are coming into town and it is stated that there is ouly a limit ed supply on baud among the farmers, a circumstance that cau be contem plated with equanimity in view of the fact that another new crop is already looming up. Old potatoes, however, will be an essential article of diet iu many households for six weeks to come. A Peculiar Suit. A very peculiar suit was instituted Friday iu the Luzerue couuty courts wheu William Naugle, of Nescopeck, began a case against Nescopeck town ship, anu asks for (10,000 damage. Naugle is a farmer aud makes his liv ing by driving produce to populate villages and boroughs for sale. He al leges that the authorities of Nescopeck township neglected their duty iu that they failed to keep the roads iu repair aud that as a result he has of late been uuable to drive to market. In other wordsjthe condition of the road has shut him off from communication with the world in which he was accustomed to disposing of his vegetables aud oth er farm productions. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Will Sue the State. Lewis Wilson, ouo of the victims of the State constabulary bullets at Mt. Carmel, is uow on the mend and in* tends to institute proceedings against the State for his injuries wheu he ful ly recovers. He was shot through the chest by a bullet from the pistol of oue of the troopers aud at the time of receiving the same was seated ou his front porch at least two blocks away from the riot. A Remarkable ißecord. The shooting at Mt. Carmel develop ed the most remarkable marksmanship. There were twenty-eight, persous who were known to be hit with bullets during the firiug. Some of these were not reported at first, and some have been hit who were not reported. Al though this large number were struck not one was killed or will, die from the effect* of the ahooting. CHANGE PROPOSED IN STATE ROAD LAW The Harrisburg Star-Independent is advocating ail amendment to the good roads law which will pnt upon the stato seven-eighths of the cost of con struction and upon the township the other one-eighth, releasing the coun ties from any payment whatever. Its argument is that theon«-eighth which the coun ies are now compelled to pay is an injustice to the cities and bor oughs which make and maintain tlieir own highways. For example, one-half the amount paid by Dauphin county would roally come out of Harrisburg, which furnishes about one-half the county revenues. There is muoh rea son in this, though a similar objection might be raised by any township in which no good road is constructed. It has to pay its share of the county's one-eighth for building a road some where else. Tbe difference is that the township may sometime have the ad vantage of State aid while Harrisburg would not. If the change proposed by our contemporary were made it would at least take away from county com missioners the excuse they have had in some instances for obstructing road improvement. Iu Dauphin county, for example,the applications were held up on the plea that the county had no money to pay its one-eighth of the cost. This is a condition to be avoid ed, but whether it should be done by putting the county wholly out of the work will neod to be carefully con sidered.

This train will be engaged all summer and well into tiie fall making various improve ments on the line between Catawissa and Sunbury. The chief work, how ever, will be the construction of two sidings, each about a mile long, one between Catawissa and South Dan ville and the other between South Dan ville and Sunbury. This will be two steps taken towards the realization of the double track on this divis ion of the road, towards which the management is steadily working. The crew of this train, ami the gang of workmen connected with it consists of about flfty men. All of these have been engaged at Catawissa, as it is at this point that the work train will make its headquarters. This train is not taking the place of any already or formerly in use, but is an addition to the regular forces and equipment of this division of the ruad. Officials say that in addition to these two sidings, others will be built in the next couple years, ami it will be but a short time until the entire line from Wilkes-Barre to Sunbury is double tracked. ~ Longenberger, Harvey Longenberger, C. & M.

One of tiie most touching incidents iu all of the army career of the late Col. Eckman reads thus : Near the banks of Roaring creek still stands a crumbling home. It is silent now. For they aro all .gone—those who love it and who called it "Home. " An aged father once lingered there. Ho had two boys who were patriotic afld at the first sound of civil war they left the plow and were soon lost iu the swelling ranks of the Union aruiy. They never came back. The one boy sleeps on the beautiful Heights of Arl iugton where his kindred spirit still stands silent guard over the capitol of a re-uuited nation; the other boy is still lost in the mud of Wilderness. But that hopeful father would not give that lost boy up. He would not, he could not believe that he was dead. Somehow he thought that Col. Eck mau, with whom he had enlisted, would send his lost boy back. And long did the Colonel, himself thrice wouuded there, hunt for that lost boy iu that "Dismal Swamp. " For years tear-dimmed eyes shaded by trembl ing hauds looked wistfully down that old "creek road" for that loßt boy who never oame back. And when the night winds would rattle the heavy iron latch, that venerable father would start from his fitful sleep, and calling him by name, would rush to the door to greet that long-lost boy. Then a hand withered by toil would feebly grasp that latch and that old door would slowly open—but he was not there—that lost boy—he had gone for ever. Thon would fall toars as dark as the night dew, tears that the world never saw. That was over forty years ago. Long since then the gates of Heaven have stood ajar for that still sorrowing old father, and there, let us hope, that he now holds in eternal embrace his long-lost bov of the wilderness. I HOTEL KEEPER A SUICIDE W. H. Kepler, of Gordon, Shot himself Yesterday. W. H. Kepler, a Gordon saloon keep er, committed suicide yesterday rnoru iug by shooting himself in the breast. He was found on the public road be tween Ashland aud Gordon and taken to the Ashland hospital. At the hos pital he made the statement that, he had shot himself. He died late yester day afternoon. It is thought by some that his state ment of self murder was made to shield some one, and it is likely that an in vestigation will be made. Will Pray Against Their Enemy. Believing the State authorities are not going to do anythiug to preveut. the McCall's Ferry compauy from ruining the shad fishing in the Sus quehanna river by the construction of a huge dam, old fishermen on both sides of the river are advocating a sea sou of prayer, in which the people are to appeal for Divine aid. It lias eveu beeu suggested that those who pray ask for some destructive agency which will make it impossible for the company to close the river aud ruin the fisheries. Such a thing as a severe and vastly destructive ice fresh et,one rivermau says, would be a great thing for the Susquehanna fisheries. Another Gone. Captain W. K. Boltz, a hero of the civil war, died at Pottsville on Fri day, his iloatli following close upou that, of Col. Eckman. These two deaths iudicate the rapidity with which the veterans are pitching their tents in the other world. Both of tliesa soldiers wore distinguished for their bravory. Capt. Boltz led Company G of the 115st Peuusylvania regiment in one of the most desperate charges made oil the battlefield of Gettysburg. He was held for thirteen months in Libby prison duriug the war. Subsequently he became an activo business man at Pottsville aud died at the age of 7fi. EXTENSIVE REPAIRS. The property at the corner of Cedar and East Market streets recently pur chased by G. A.

KEEP YOUR BLOOD CLEAN HI raw mm Tenderer Sorts of Vege tables Injured By Unsea sonable Weather. AND MUCH DAMAGE MAY RESULT Hardy Vegetables and the Fruit Orchards Not Dam aged By the Cold. Farmers from all over the country say that they fear that the continuanco of the cold snap will seriously injure the early spring vegetable crop. The predicted frost failed to materi alize because of the high wind but on Tuesday and yesterday the mercury dropped to 43 degrees in the tarming sections of the county. TJTuTcold wave is unusual for this time of the year and lias already giv en the spring tomato crop, which allow ed unusual prospects last week, a de cided setback. These plants are very sensitive to weather conditions and ac cording to a farmer who attends the local markets great concern is being felt for their condition as their growth has been practically stopped. Another vegetable that is being in jured by the chilly weather is the string bean, of which there are thou sands of rows planted in this county every spring to supply the local de maud. These boau plants do not stop growing when cold weather prevails but the bean itself becomes as the farmers term it, "rusty." Kedbeets, lettuce and many spring vegetables have suffered. 11l contrast to the more delicate plants there are others that are thriviug, es pecially the on ion, hundreds of bunches of which are sold at from five to ten cents per bunch. Strawberries, potatoes and all of the hardier members of the vegetable class, are all in good condition and no harm is expected to come to them. The cold has caused no damage to the orchards and peach,apple and i)ear trees are in full bloom. The only cause of alarm that the farmers manifest in the care of the trees is that the many recent rains may wash pollen from the blossoms, which would cause them to lose their fruitbeariug qualities. The farmers say that this year's con ditions do not compare favorably with last spring's prospects for a successful season. Experts at High Work. E. Kiun Suuday wound up the contract for painting the smoke stacks of the Reading Iron company. Of these, taking in the Danville rolling mill, there are sixteen. Stack painting, iu common with all "high work", is looked upon with a good deal of interest by most people who prefer to keep near sea level and can't understand what gift men possess that enable them to scale dizzy heights. Mr. Kinu, who is painting the stacks, is a Danville man, although as a bridge builder he has beon away from town for long intervals. He is an expert in "high work" and has been iu the employ of nearly all the leading bridge building firms iu the country. He worked here during the construction of our river bridge and was at the highest points while the iron work was being placed in posi tion. * From bridge building to stack paint ing is au easy step. Tim highest of the stacks at the Danville roiling mill, where the finishing touches were appli ed Sunday, are about sixty-five feet high. Mr. Kiun was ussisted yester day by a French sailor, named Peter Nenniount, who exhibited a good deal of dexterity while dangling in mid air sixty feet or more above the ground. The usual methods were employed. A large iron hook,by dint ol' a good deal of hard work nud ingenuity, was forc ed[upalcng side of the stack and hook ed over the top. Suspended from this was a swinging seat, upon which the painter was seated. Beginning with the top of the stack, by means of a rope and tackle, the painter lowered himself as his work progressed.
