of your life and liberty.
This is no political office.

Post Office in New Quarters.
The Danville post oftiee this morn
ing opened in its new quarters in
the Grone building. The new mailing
case whose noil-arrival caused a delay
in moving came yesterday morning.
The cases belonging (o the rural free
delivery carriers along with other art
icles that could be dispensed with for
the time being were removed from the
old quarters into the new during yes
terday aftf rnoou. After closing last
night the distributing table and the
eases belonging to the town carriers
were carried into the new building.
The large safe was removed several
days ago.
The new and roomv quarters in the
Grone building were fitted up after a
special design and accordingly till
every want, being probably without
except'on one of the finest and best
equipped post offices in this section.
One of the departures is a cozily fur
nished piivate room for the post mast
er, in the southwest corner of the
building looking out on Mill street.
The large corridor is paved with filing
and the entire first floor occupied by

This is the Year for Big Fruits.
This is an unusual year in many re
spects aud the farmers have had pe
culiar experiences with their fruits
and grains. The cool summer caused
some apprehension, but the harvest
has been plentiful and large. This
largeness is not alone in quantity, hut
in size as mammoth growths are re
ported from all over the county. Ap
ples, pears, potatoes,cabbage all grow
to big proportions and every day some
new specimen is brought to this office.
Yesterday afternoon the carrier of
Rural Mail Route No. :! brought in
two potatoes, raised on the farm of B.
F. Sliultz, the combined weight ot
which is three pounds and six ounces.
Second growths of strawberries, rasp
berries and other fruits have also been
frequent. The big coal stiike, the big
crops and the peculiar weather con
ditions will make this year one that
will long be remembered and will be
a date to lie referred to by the old
citizen when lie becomes reminiscent
in future years.
Buckwheat Crop a Failure.
Buckwheat cakes will in silt prob
ability prove an expensive luxury this
season. The buckwheat crop was a
heavy one, but it was nearly ruined
by the wet weather prevailing about
the time it was cut. It proved next to
impossible to get the buckwheat dry
enough for hauling into the barn. Set
up in the customary little conical
stacks it remained in the field for
weeks until it began to "grow". At the
present time whole fields may he seen
where the crop is still out and ruin
ed. Where threshing has taken place,
scarcely more than one-third is found
lit for sale. The balance will be
utilized for dairy and horse feed.
Will Give Turkey Dinner.
The ladies' auxiliary of the Young
Men's Christian Association will give
a turkey dinner on November 20 at

ASK FOR
AN OUTLET
Mrs. Peter Ward and Thomas Mc-
Caffery who live ill the hollow between
Welsh Hill aud the Fourth Ward were
before Council last Friday nig'-t for
the third time, to see whether
the borough could not do something
to furnish them with a suitable outlet
from their properties. Their com
plaint has been that the alley existing
there is so nearly unpassahle that groc
ers will no longer deliver goods and
that they are practically shut in. The
two properties were bought from the
Reading Iron Company,who own- the
land intersected by the street complain
ed of. At the first meeting in S pf
etuber a doubt was raised as to wheth
er or not the thoroughfare, which is
commonly known as "Holly street,"
has any legal existence as a street and
whether the borough has any right to
cuter upon if for repairs. The matter
was referred to the Borough solicitor,
who last night made his report.
Ho had referred the matter, he said,
to George W. West, Borough Surveyor,
who in turn reported that he had no
knowledge of any such a thoroughfare
as "Holly street." This Mr. Gearhart
said ended the matter as far as lie
could go. He outlined a procedure by
which the two property owners shut
in might secure an outlet. The ad
vice will probably be acted upon and
measures adopted to secure a passable
street.
Mr. Kemmer called attention to the
fact that the contract for the iron
bridge over Mahoning creek at Center
street, called for the completion of the
structure on October l(»th. Nelson
Buchanan & Co., of Chambersburg
and Pittsburg, are the contractors,and
they have not vouchsafed a single line
in explanation of the delay. On mo
tion the secretary was instructed to
write Nelson Buchanan iV Co. inform
ing tl.em that the time limit has ex
pired and asking that the bridge be
completed at once.
Mr. Davis reported that the gutters
about town are in a very bad condi
tion, many of them overgrown with
weeds and others choked up with mud
and refuse. He ventured the opinion
that if they were not cleaned out this
fall before next spring we would pay
very dearly for the neglect with flood
ed pavements aud cellars. Many prop
erty owners look after the gutters
themselves and keep tlieiu in good re
pairs. It was not char to Council,
however, that this is a duty that de
volves upon the owners of property
and on motion it was decided that the
stieet commissioner give the matter
his immediate attention, cleaning out
the gutters at every place where in
need of if.
Chief Engineer Freeze willed the at
tention of Council to the fact that the
new hose recently purchased has not
as yet been tested. On motion the
matter was left in the hands of the
Chief, who was asked to fix a time for
the test, when the fire committee of
Council would make it a point to be
present. The date decided upon by
Chief Freeze was Monday afternoon
next at 2 o'clock.
Un motion of Mr. Montgomery the
purchase of a second hand stove was
ordered for use in the lock-up. The
one 011 duty up to the present has be
come worthless and was sold for old
iron.
On motion it was ordered that a
telephone extension hell be installed
in the private residence of Chief
Mincenioycr so as to connect him with
the 'phone in the clerk's office. In
this way the Chief can be reached at
all hours day or night.

The Public Health is Good.
We learn from the Secretary of the
Board of Health that there is not a
single case of coutagious disease in
Danville at present. This fact gratify
ing in itself is rendered more so when
we reflect that at no time during the
year past has the prevalence ol infec
tious diseases been ill the least degree
marked. There were several cases
each of scarlet fever and diphtheria,
but while in the latter were a few
fatalities,the disease at no time threat
ened to get beyond the control of the
doctors. The public health on the
whole in Danville continues good the
year round.
Summers Pardon Refused.
The State Pardon Board at its Octo
ber meeting, recommended three par
dons, held four under advisement,con

pardons. Among those refused w.e.
the application of George Summers.of
this county, found guilty of involun
tary manslaughter.

(i(N)ilWl! POST
Goodrich Post No 'J'2,G. A. R. 112 of 111i
city, was inspected To -d iv night by
Ernest L. S;;trkloff, member of Po-t
j Sunbury,who i-- as-istant inspect
or for this district. There Wii quite
! a good turnout present. After the
routine of inspection a regular session
oW he post w:i> held,the i vnt through
out proving a very i n joy able one to
the veterans.
The members were complimented by
the inspector oil the excellent howiug
presented by the pot. The officers
were found thoroughly conversant with
their duties and the finance*- are in
good shape.
During the past year forty-four new
members have been added. Many of
; these, it is true, were formerly mem
i :""s, who for one cause or another
dropped out of the post. Their rein
statenvat,' however, adds that much
to the 'rcngth of flit- post and attests
to the popularity of the G. A. R.
In happ.t contrast to the large acces
sion of mem I rship but one death oc
curred during the past year, that of
Angus Wright. The fact, however,
is incontrovertible that the ranks of
the veterans are suffering a steady de
cline, as year after year increasing
numbers yield to the infirmities of
age.
The veterans after post session
became reminiscent and with
out much of an effort recalled a long
array of names,in number far surpass
ing the present membership, who have
passed to the camping grounds In
yowl. Following are a few of the de
ceased veterans:

Troops to Remain in Camp.
The probabilities are that a portion
of tlic troops now in tin- coal region
may be sent home before election clay.
Governor Stone,utter expressing much
gratification Tuesday at the ending til
the ecal strike, -aid lie could not say
when the troops will be ordered home,
hut it will he just as soon us possible.
"The troops will lie sent home,"
said the Governor, "just as quickly as
it can be done safely. As soon as tin 1
coal regions are quiet and there is no
more violence then the guard will be
relieved of further duty".
The Governor also said that he
would lirst order home the troops who
wore first sent to 111 fields—meaning
the Third Brigade,the Sheridan Troop
and the Second City Troop.
In iinticipaticn of the troops being
in the field on election day, Governor
Stone Tuesday directed the State De
partiuent to prepare election blanks so
that they would lie ready if required.
It is thought that possibly there may
be no use for the blanks, and that all
of the troops may get home before
November 4.
"It all depends on conditions," said
the Governor, "possibly there may be
some of the miners who will not get
their old places and may be inclined
to make trouble. Then there may be
unpleasant times for the men who re
maiued at work that may lead to dis
order and the military may lie requir
ed. The brigade commanders in the
field are the best judges of this, how
ever, and we must rely entirely on
their reports to us. If, in their judg
ment, the troops should be sent home
and there is 110 disorder that the civil
authorities cannot, subdue, then the
troops will be sent home. But we can
not tell when that report will come
to us."
Adjutant General Stewart had a
long conference with the Governor 011
Tuesday, but lie is equally uncertain
regarding the return of the troops.
A Family Re-Union.
A family re-union took place at the
home of Thomas Kear.Sr,Spruce street,
Sunday, when all his children were

FllillTl' l, FIRE
Some additional improvement* are
Icing made at the; Reading Iron Wrok*
lm.king to a h< ttcr protection against
fire. Th»'eastern end of the middle span
where the fire broke ouf when the mill
burned recently i» being entirely re
built. The wood work ha- all been
removed. Iron posts and ties are used
in building the ll> vv end, while cor
rugafed iron tabt - the plate of the
ordinary w.arher hoard- Notwith
standing the proximity of the heated
furnace-; at that point, all danger of
lire is now obviated. The eastern end
of tie; next span south will be rebuilt
in the same way.
Fire plug< have been established and
hose distrihated about the plant in a
way that in mo.it unique and on. that
cannot fail to give the employes a big
advantage in fighting fire.
Thirty-two feet from the ground im
mediately under the large ventilators
of the two principal -pan- are elcvat
ed walks or i hitforms communicating
with each other. Distributed at in
terval- ov. r head are fifteen sections
of lios.. each section connected with
an ex:elision of the lire pings carried
to the roof.
The 'ire facilities as arranged com
mand the entire plant. No matter at
what part the fire tnav occur, as soon
as the alarm i- given employe- will
climb to the elevated platform, turn
on the water and with scarcely a
moments' delay, out the way of all
obstacles, will play upon the fire at
short range.
It is ♦JO arranged that the plug- can
draw upon either borough water or
the plant's own supply.
L.tte Frosts Favor Farmers.
In addition to heavy crops the farm
ers this season are further favoted by
ail exemption from early frosts. If is
only in a few ot the more elevated
localities that regulation shows any
signs of being "nip|ied."
The farmers just now are busy
picking winter apples. Th*-crop is one
of tli'i largest that has ever been grown
in this section ot the state.
Tlter.i is scarcely a farm but counts
its yield by hundreds of hu.-hels. Pick
ed from the trees the ft nit may be
seen lying in the orchard in immense
heaps preparatory to being stored away
for winter. Charles M. Lesher,residing
two miles out from Northumberland
has an apple crop of four thousand bush
els. His orchard contains two thous
and live hundred trees, embracing all
the improved and popular varieties.
Picked apples are worth only 40
cents per bushel in the local markets.
The apple crop however, is -aid to be
a failure, not only in New York and
Ohio, hut also in Pennsylvania, west
of the Allegheny mountain-. So that
while the prospects of a ready sale are
not very good at home, the markets
elsewhere will present a demand and
many apples will he shipped. Mr
Leslier has already been visited by
buyers from other section- and he an
ticipates no trouble whatever in get
ting rid of his big crop of apples.

Mr. Foley says that the most of t>»e
workmen who case to Danville were
from the north of England Mr Ha»

Business Outlook.
The first *tep towards a resumption
of mining ha* already bad it- effe< t
ujHin business throughout this section
of the state. Though Danville people
have not suffered to any greu extent
there was a noticeable increase in the
past few day's business
Our merchants will soon see a change
iti trade conditions People who ftave
been economizing and hobliug l>ark
will now bring oat th # lr littb* honrds
or draw from their savings deposits
and lirgin to invest in many things they
and their families have lw*en deptiv
ing themselves of. Winter clothing
and household m*eds tor the cold
weather will find a readv -ale and w.
can easily for**s*>e a hu<y tune for «ur
stores.
Now is the time for judicious ail
vertising and our merchants would b
well advised to make the most of their
opportunities. Kadi store has -ome
tiling worth selling, make the publi.
acquainted with the fa. t in »u aftr*
five manner and througfi the best
source of advertising and we have na
doubt there wil i« i harvest of \u
c*-ssfnl selling.
