Commander William M. Hoddens, of
Goodrich Cost, No. G. A. R., has
appointed S. 11. Mornill, Samuel Mot
tern, Kit-hard W. Eggert, Levi Sechl
er and John Everett members of the
general committee to arrange for the
annual encampment of tin- post. Com
mander Heddens i.the chairman,
Levi Scehler secretary and Richard W.
Eggert treasurer of the committee.
The encampment will begin on Sat
urday, at DcWitt s Park, and will
last until the following Satunlav,
August U>. The tents will be put
up on Friday. In addition to the
big mess tout of Goodrich Post there
will 1m- smaller ones, which will be
rented for the week. The meetings
and othei events on the program will
!><• held on the pavilion
The general committee, assisted by
the comrades of the post, arc actively
at work preparing for this outing,
which will be one of the best ever
given by the local Grand Army men.
An encampment was held last summer
at IV Witt's Park, but tin-re was con
siderable rain which made it unpleas
ant for the campers and prevented
much of the program from being car
ried out. This year the veterans are
hoping for clear weather and they in
tend making this encampment a big
success.
There will be jolly camp fires,
round which the boys in blue will tell
of the stirring day when they went
to war. They will sleep again under
the canvas and will live for a week
the life ol sold'er. Large crowds are
expected to be present, every day of
the encampment.
Fire loss Slight at l)k r Mill.
The sixtecn-ineh mill of the Heading
Iron-Works, which so nearly fell a
prey to fire, Thursday night, Fri
day morning along with the other de
partments of the plant was able to re
sume work nearly as though nothing
out of the ordinary had occurred.
Considering the grave aspect present
ed when the fire was at its height, the
damage when dawn appeared was
found to l>e very slight, I» ing limited
to a burning away of the gables and a
small portion of the roof and ventila
tors of the two building- that make up
the l(i-inch mill. None of the mach
inery or any part of the equipment
was injured.
Superintendent David Thoma- yester
day -fated that it is the consensus of
opinion among those employed in the
mill that the fire originated from a
flash from the rolls, the burning part
icles alighting overhead at the valley
or low portion of tlie roof between the
two divisions of the mill. It is believ
ed that the fire gained sonic headway
before discovert d,burning through the
hoards and spreading out over the roof
on the outside. From the point where
the fire was viewed w hen discovered
it had the appearance of being betW'-t n
No. 7 and No. s heating furnaces,
which gave rise to the theory that it
was caused by an overheated stack.
The works are well equipped with
fire fighting appliances. There are
four lire plugs in the mill in addition
to two on the outside. Superintend
ents Thomas and Williams both com
mended the employes for their prompt
and cllicieiit work in combatting the
flames. Attaching the hose to the
plugs was only the work of a minute
or so and the fire was assailed from
four different points. The several
streams in the mill wer<- kept into
constant play until the fire was gotten
under control. The efforts of the city
firemen, which \vi re attend) d with
such good results, also come in for
their share of praise.
The loss is estimated at about SI .'IMI.
The works are insured As to th re
pairs, therefore, rendered ncct ssary
by the tire nothing can If det* rmincd
until the insurance companies take ac
tion.

SWIMMO WITHIN
THE BOROUGH
Th< local police have their hands
pi. tty full enforcing the provision of
Section Ist of the borough ordinance
under "Nuisances", which declares
that ' it shall not he lawful for any
person or persons to_bathe in the Sus
quehanna river, Pennsylvania canal,
Mahoning creek or any other stream
or public place within the limits of
the Borough of Danville."
The uniformly cool weather during
the first part of the season kept the
hoys out of the water. With the warm
weather of the last few weeks, how
ever, they began to pine for a good
-wiiii. Owing to the heavy rain the
river has remained^!oo high and mud
dy for bathing, while the canal has
gone out of business, so that the only
place left for the swimmers is Mahon
lilgVreek.
I'nfortuiiately, the bays generally
choose a spot within the borough and
I hit- run up against the ordinance.
They are not unaware ot the risk they
are taking, however. They watch the
officers pretty closely and the officers
watch the boys. Occasionally a good
swim is indulged in while the police
men are in another part of town.
A party of bathers disporting them
selves in the creek near Center street
escaped arrest a day or so ago by a
very narrow margin and in a way that
caused much amusement. Officer Voris
came upon them unawares. The swim
mers had unconsciously drifted some
little way from their clothing, which
lay on the bank. To get into their
garments and escape was out of the
question. A companion, however,
took in the situation and seizing all
the clothes ran as fast as he could
go in the direction of tlio old blast
furnace followed by tl e nude swim
mers. Officer Voris says the practice
of swimming in the borough must
cease. The fine imposed by the ordin
ance is sr,.
A Famous Old Spring.
The famous old spring in the Third
Ward a few hundred yards east of the
I). L. & W -tation has become a very
popular resort during the last few
day? of wanner weather. The refresh
ing shade and flic abundant How of
crystal water that wells up out of flic
earth both contribute toniake the spot
cool and inviting and there is not an
hour of the more heated portion of the
day that little groups may not be seen
reclining on the grass. They may be
workmen from the near-by mill or
they may be men from the furthest
part of town who have braved the sun
in order to enjoy a drink from the old
spring. There are not many hobos,
whether umbrella menders or those
who make no effort to disguise their
character but who seem to know of
the spring, and there they may be seen
sleeping or smoking by the hour.
The spring is one of the largest in
this section, the flow, it is estimated,
j approximating four hundred gallons
per minute. The water is cold and !
presumably pure. Scores of families'
are supplied from the spring, the |
water enabling whole households to
get along without ice during the hot
test weather. In this way the old
spring contribute* iiium-iisclv to the
Welfare of the ]icO]tie.
Tin- spring was famous in the early j
days of Danville and it i- one of the !
land marks around which the memory
of the oldest, settler entwines with the
most affectionate interest. It i- un
fortunate that no well organized and
no well sustained effort has ever been
made to protect the spring from the
ravages of time. It is true that those
who use the water make occasional
contributions towaid repairs. Last
spring a hundred feet or more of terra
cotta pipe was laid in the drain, but
the spring is too much exposed and it
is impossible at times to keep the
I water clean. The walls also should
be kept in a little better repair and an
additional cleaning out of the bottom
now and then would improve matters.
Saturday's Market.
The market Saturday was very large,
occupying all the allotted space.
Prices remained about the same as
when last reported with the exception
of sweet corn which fell from l."i cents
per dozen cars to 10 cents per dozen.
There were two large wagon loads in
market and the rival vendors took to
cutting prices. As a result many persons
indulged i.i sweet corn who otherwise
might have been prompted to wait un
til a week or so later.

The Springfield base ball cluli, from
Sliamokin, won tlio game Saturday
afternoon with tlie "Old Timers", at
DeWitt's Park. There were few feat
ures to make the contest interesting
and the visitors made their victory
sure by batting out four runs in the
fifth inning. Danville took a spurt in
the sixth, scoring both its runs.
Hot It teams changed pitchers in tin
sixth inning, lienner taking the place
of Donnelly, and Guinn succeeding
Skoskie. While running to lirst base
Skoskie collided with the baseman
and was hurt in the side, nccessitaf
ing his retirement from the game.
Springfield had eight hits, while the
homo team got six, hut there was only
one two-bagger, which was hit out
by Welter. The following is the score

All Sunbury at Island Park.
All Sunbury was at Island l'ark Fri
day attending the merchants' pic
nic. The business places in the Nor
thumberland county seat were all
closed, the newspapers were printed
at noon and the whole town took a
holiday. Thousands were at the park
and special coaches were attached to
the trains to bring excursionists from
Sliamokin,Lewisburg and other towns.
The chief attraction at the picnic
was the public wedding, which took
place at noon. The contracting parties
were Miss Mary bla Knd, (laughter of
Mrs. Golder, formerly of this city,but
now a resident of Sunbury, and Aimer
Scholl, of Lewisburg. The maid of
honor .was Miss Maude Golder, half
sister of the bride. Misses Sue Howe
anil Kae McManaway weietho brides
maids,and the groomsmen were .Tames
Garmau and <>tto Buyers. ltcv. <r. :
W. Marquardt and K< v. < >. <l. Morton
were tin; officiating ministers Tie
merchants of Sunbury presented the
couple with household furniture and
enough gifts to start them well on
their matrimonial career. The value
of the presents is estimated at nearly
a thousand dollars.
The wedding was attended by Mr.
and Mrs. (Diaries Golder, of Limes
toneville; Mr. and Mrs. Hoy Golder,
of Mausdale; Mr. and Mrs. diaries
< iri. of Klkhorn,W. Va. .and George
Scholl, of Lewisburg, relatives of the
bride and groom.
There were many other events on
the program of the day, among
them being an old fashioned greased
pig race, wood chopping contest, re
production of the Jerll'ics-Fit/.sinimoits
fight, foot race, steamboat race, bal
loon ascension, foot boat race, nantha
launch race,and tin- picnic ended with
a big display of fire works.
Pay Days Present and Past.
Saturday last was a general pay day
about town. It happened that in a
manner every industry paid it- hands,
so that but little less than fifty thous
and dollars went into circulation. The
amount of business transacted was
quite heavy. Mill street was throng
ed until a late hour Saturday night
and at nearly every place of business
the counters were lined with custom
ers.
There was no disorder worth men
tion ing. While the police were on
the alert no arrests were necessary.
The uniform good order which charac
terizes our streets even on pay days
has been remarked upon before. It |
reflects in a highly creditable way up
on the populace of the town.
A gentleman well informed on the
town's history last evening stated that ,
what is actually more money is now |
paid out for labor in Danville than at j
any time in its history. He did not :
dispute that in its palmiest days mon
men were employed at a higher rate
of wages, but a large proportion of
wages earned then were paid in stop
orders and cash sometimes even on
pay day was a scarce article.
"Speak of disorder," lie said,"every
Saturday night, then, brought a fight
or two, that kept Mill street blocked.
The police were not. idle neither. In
those days an officer had a different
element to deal with and lie simply ,

The digging of coal from the river
is an industry I hat will ho profitable
In the person who gets a steam digger
to ilo the work. Tim capacity of one
of them* diggers is about thirty to
fort\ tons a (lay and at Sunbury there
are not less than a half dozen con
stantly at work. They come up the
Noith Branch quite a distance. One
man in Sunbury has two diggers and
his daily output of coal is seventy
tons, the sale of which is engaged by
industries in Oatawissa and Berwick.
Some of this river coal is sent to
Wilkesbarre, where it is used within
the shadow of culm hanks and break
ers that have been idle since the
The riffles at this city make the cur
rent so strong that no coal is deposit
ed here. A mile above Danville tin*
coal stalls ami runs up for several
miles. Below the creek's month, for
at least two miles, plenty more.
There are hundreds of tons lying on
the bottom of the river and there is a
ready market right here for all that
can be brought up.
There are a few persons who get
coal from the river by hand, but. this
process is slow and has been affected
by the high water of the past eight
weeks, it requires a fall of at least
six feet before thi- kiml of digging
can he resumed. A steam digger can
work regardless of the state of the
water.
One of these river "miners" is
George Boss, who has ten tons ol coal
for his own use this winter. The coal
strike does not worry him for his sup
ply will last until next spring. llis
outfit consists of a boat and a shovel
of stout wire netting. He is able to
get out several tons daily. If the
digging of coal by steam power keeps
so many diggers busy at Sunbury there
i- surely a similar opportunity here.
The Snapper that got Away.
There is an old fishing song which
touchingly si ts forth that "the biggest
tisli I ever caught is the fish that got
away". By the same token did the
biggest turtle Bichard Morrall ever
captured « -cape front his custody
while being brought to Danville. Said
turtle was to he converted into real
tuitlc soup by Colonel Johnny Mover
of Ihi St KlttlO I Intel.
Colonel Morrall. who is the genial
landlord of the lola Hotel, lola, came
to Danville Sunday and drew up at
the St. K1 mo. Said he to Col. Mover:
"Johnny, I have a fine present lor
you right in my carriage. It is a big
snapper and he weighs thirteen
pounds' . And Col. Mover, in an
ticipation, summoned his whole house
hold to see the wonderful turtle. But
when the Hour sack in which it had
been placed was pulled from the car
riage a big hole told the story of the
escape.
When < 'oloiiel .lack MeCall, of the
Hotel (Miver,heard of the presentation
that was not lie consoled Col. Mover
by stating that ('<> l. Morrall never had
a turtle,had not seen one in live years
and would not know one if lie fell
over it. However, Col. Morral! has
the testimony of people tow hom he
showed the turtle while on his way
here from lola that lie did have it and
that il did weigh thirteen pounds.
Col. MeCall says the thirteen is what
queered the affair. Col. Moycr and
Col. Morrall are now asking them
selves this question: "Where is the

THE DISUSED
CEMETERY
The article printed in these columns
last week relating to the overgrown
and neglected condition of the disused
cemetery on Bloom street has called
forth an explanation from the trustees
of tlie Grove Presbyterian church, in
whose hands as matters now stand the
old burial ground solely rests.
There is not one in the congregation
who would for a moment minimize the
old cemetery as an eyesore and an an
noyance. They would merely have the
public know that, they are fully alive
to the worst features of the situation
and what obstacles, apparently unsur
mountable, they have encountered in
their efforts to abate the nuisance.
A representative of tliis paper Mon
day was made acquainted with some
facts which are here made public for
the first time. It is well known that
one of the measures adopted for ab
olishing the cemetery consisted of re
porting it to court as a nuisance. A
great deal was expected oft bis step yet
nothing ever came of it. The court
took the view that although it might
be offensive and an annoyance in one
sense, yet if does not constitute a pub
lic nuisance such as comes in under
the law. Baffled in this step it is not
strange that further effort has
abandoned to have the cemetery con
demned. If there is any practicable
way by which this may be accomplish
ed those interested in the cemetery's
removal will gladly accept advice.
Sometime prior to reporting the
cemetery as a nuisance the congrega
tion took a step toward its removal
which it was thought must insure suc
cess. The plan was to obtain a list of
all those buried there and thus get in
to communication with surviving rel
atives to see whether they would agree
to the removal of their dead and the
abolishment of the cemetery. A good
deal of time had been spent and a
large number of names obtained when
an obstacle was encountered which
was little dreamed of and which pre
sented the problem in a new phase.
Among those who own lots in the
cemetery are a few aged persons who
cherish the ambition of being buried
in the old cemetery.
They proved unyielding in the face
of argument; they purchased the lots
long ago and they insisted that the
| plots are at their own disposal. Each
S lias a husband or a wife buried in the
old grave yard by whose side a place
remains for bis or her own grave.
It may seem unconceivable that any
one should look forward toaspotofso
much neglect and desolation as a last
resting place,yet the trustees acknow
ledge it is the indisputable right of
those who own lots in the old ceme
tery to be buried there if they so de
sire. While the grave yard itself may
be under the control of the Grove
Presbyterian church the land itself be
longs to tiie owners of the lots and
until they see lit to relinquish their
claim it is not clear how the plot can
be put to any other use. It is this
phase of the problem which lias dis
couraged the trustees. As one of them
remarked yesterday, "We are con
fronted with a stone wall and can go
no fart her at present.''
Although unable to keep the place
presentable the trustees affirm that
I hev have always (lone what they could
lo keep down the weeds and have
spent a good deal of money with this
object in view

AN Lour or so before Mr. Bowser
came home from the office a
wagon left some light lumber
.•it the basement door, and
when he arrived and was questioned
is to its use he replied:
"it occurred to me today that as 1
have plenty of time on my hands these
IOIIK evenings I would make and fit
some screen doors for next summer.
The lumber Is for the framework of the
doors."
"But you are not going to try to make
them yourself," protested Mrs. Bowser.
"There won't bo any trying about it.
1 shall proceed to make and hang
them."
"I'm afraid yoti can't do it. It's a
nice piece of joiner work to make a
screen door, especially one for the front
of the house."
"I am well aware of that," he said
as he stroked his chin In a complacent
"I AM WELL AWAKE OF THAT," HE SAID.
way. "Haven't I got about .SSO worth
of tools? Don't I know how to handle
them V"
"I—l wish you had given your order
at the shop, as other folks do."
"I'll be hanged if I pay any $8 for a
pair of doors when I can make 'em for
$3. You are always dead set against
anything I undertake."
"Mr. Bowser, you can't make a screen
door. You can't hang one. Don't
blame mo when the failure comes."
"Blame you! Are you getting crazy?
If those doors are not a success, you
won't hear a word of fault from me,
not a peep. I was thinking of order
ing 'em, but being you have stuck
your nose up so high I'll make 'em
now just to show you that I can do it!"
Three-quarters of an hour later, hav
ing hurried through dinner and got in
to an old suit of clothes, he carried the
lumber down cellar and then spent
twenty minutes measuring for the
front doors. Mrs. Bowser kept out of
it for an hour, but finally went down
and found the stuff all cut to lengths
and Mr. Bowser making half mortises
at the ends.
"Aren't our front doors higher than
this?" she asked as she picked up one
of the side pieces.
"Haven't you any housework to see
to?" lie brusquely replied.
"You've got 'em a foot too short."
"Oh, 1 have, eh? Some folks' eyes
are better tliau a carpenter's rule!"
She went back up stairs, but It
wasn't long before sho saw him sneak
ing around to the front with one of
the pieces. She watched him as he
tried#t, and it was all of twelve Inches
short. Mr. Bowser scratched his ear,
growled like a bear and looked as fool
ish as a boy caught in a harvest apple
tree. Ten minutes later he was saw
ing out other strips.
"Were they too short?" she asked as
he worked away.
"X-no, but I thought I'd get heavier
stuff," lie mumbled in reply.
Mrs. Bowser considerately with
drew, and in the course of half an hour
lie had one of the frames nailed to
gether and was trying it in the space
for which it was designed. She ap
peared in the hall, followed by the cut,
and after a glance she said:
"Mr. Bowser, that door is squce
gawed."
"Squeegawed? Squeegawed? What
does that stand for in the back coun
ties?"
"Your door is wider at the bottom
than at the top."
"It can't be!"
"But your own eyes will convince
you. There's an inch difference!"
"Never! I'll bet you a million dol
lars there isn't a hair's breadth!"
She ran for the tapeline and soon
proved that the difference was over
an inch.
"oh, well, I can fix that in a min
ute," he said as he lugged the frame
off, but It was bedtime before he call
ed to her that the wire was tacked on
and tlie door finished. She went down
to look It over and presently asked:
"Which do you call the outside of
your door?"
"Why, the side this way, of course."
"Then you've tacked the cloth ou the
inside."
"That's where it belongs."
"You never saw it there, Mr. Bow
ser—never! And look at the way you
have tacked the stuff on! It's humped
up in a dozen different places because
you pulled it askew."
"There isn't one hump—not the sign
of a hump. I'll give any man a billion
dollars to make a better job of it! All
that door needs is painting."
"But don't they paint the frames be
fore they tack the cloth on? How urc
you going to paint the inside of tlie
frame?"
"Don't worry yourself about this job,
Mrs. Bowser. 1 wasn't born alongside
of a huckleberry marsh."
But after she had gone up stairs he
tore off the wire, painted the frame
and then tacked the wire on the other
side. The hour was late, and ho con
cluded to do no more until morning.
That night lie kicked around in liis
Bleep in tlie most awful manner, and at
about i o'clock in the morning he sud
denly sat up In bed and exclaimed:
"Squeegawed! I'll bet you four hun
dred thousand billion dollars against a
cent that thev are as ulunib as a rule!"

He started in again as soon as it.was
daylight, and notwithstanding the cold
lie had both doors at the front when
Mrs. I'owser went out.
"You see what you've done, don't
you?" she asked after a survey of the
scene.
"I don't believe I'm either nearsight- I
ed or color blind," be replied.
"Weil, you've got one door wrong
side up, to begin with."
"II how V"
"Look ;it the panels and see. Then
you have been trying to hang one to
swing in and the other to swing out."
"1 have, eh? That shows all you
know about it. I'm simply fitting the
screens so they will shut tight. I'll
linve breakfast mid then finish up in
about fifteen minutes."
When lie had got to work again, Mrs.
Bowser noticed that the doors didn't
meet in the center by an inch and each
was half an inch short at tin- bottom.
He had also hung them with the wire
on the outside. Just then a neighbor
came along and turned into the steps.
After looking at the doors for half a
minute in great astonishment he que
ried:
"Something just from Paris, Bow
ser ?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why, you've got a new idea in
screen doors. I suppose the space at
the bottom Is for hugs, that at the top
for mosquitoes and the center for files.
I see you have left the frames exposed.
They will make capital roosting places
for horse fliea and pinclibugs. Did you
do this job?"
"Y-yes."
"Well, if I iiad a child ten years old
who couldn't beat it I'd make her go
barefoot all summer."
"I didn't make these doors for your
house, sir!"
"Thank heaven for that! Bowser,
you're a brick—a soft brick. I'll come
up this evening with a band and sere
nade these doors."
When the neighbor had gone, Mrs.
Bowser suddenly felt the back of the
house lift up. It was Mr. Bowser pull
ing those screen doors off. He couldn't
even wait to take the screws out of
the hinges. They came off in detach
ments, and the pieces were flung into
the back yard. When he had finished,
ho came In and said:
"Mrs. Bowser, I want to have a talk
with you—a very serious talk."
"But didn't I tell you how it would
be?"
"Never! You encouraged me togo
ahead, and to please a whim of yours
I've lost ten hours' time, pounded my
self all over, spent .?•'■ in cash and been
made a butt of ridicule! Mrs. Bowser,
this is the limit, the finis, the end!
Make out a list of what furniture you
want aud let us agree on the alimony!"

a here is one thing anarchists will not
consent to, one thing they rebel against
(at least in thought, and sometimes in
act), and that is anybody's assumption
to rule another, whether it be czar,
king, nobility or a democrat majority,
says William M. Salter in The Atlantic.
They are disagreed about many things.
There are individualist anarchists and
socialist (or communist) anarchists, be
lievers in private property and believ
ers In common property, but all alike
believe in self rule,and theynre :is much
opposed to democratic state socialism
as to state socialism of any kind. They
believe that power intoxicates the best
of men and are not willing to allow it
in any form. "So master, high or low,"
they say, after William Morris. "Let
life shape itself," "Mind your own busi
ness," "No interference"- such is their
demand.
The Grout Value of Savints Time.
Thrift of time is as necessary as
thrift of money, and he who knows
how to save time has learned the se
cret of accumulating educational op
portunity. Men who regard it as sin
ful to waste money waste time with
a prodigal's lavislimss because they
do not understand the value of short
periods of time. Society is full of peo
ple who might enrich themselves a
hundredfold and make their lives im
mensely more interesting it' they learn
ed this commonplace truth.—Ladies'
Home Journal.
Make Some One llniipy.
Charles Kingsley thus counseled a
friend: "Make it a rule and pray to
God to help you to keep it never, if pos
sible, to lie down at night without be
ing able to say, 'I have made one hu
man being at least a little wiser, a lit
tle happier or a little better this day.'
You will find it easier than jou think
and pleasanter."
