Telephone 143<> Ml 11 ITS USES The immense deposits of cinder about Danville which remain as monuments of its former greatness as an iron town when a half a dozen or moie blast furnaces wore in operation send- ; ing out a steady product of pig iron j and slag according to recent develop- J ments, it would seem, are likely to bo turned to practical use and to become a source of profit to their owners. Negotiations for their purchase on foot off and oa for a year or more past have been renewed with a great deal of vigor lately and the big cinder tip at Chulasky, owned by B. R. Gearhirt, is probably at present as good as sold. The dross, or cinder, obtained in tho manufacture of pig iron, which formerly seemed to be in little or no demand except as limited quantities might be needed tor ballast on lail roads or for grading purposes, has of late years been put to a varietv ot uses. Slag wool, also known as min eral wool, is made from melted slag. Cinder in one of its various combina tions is now used in largo quntities for roofing and if also enters into the manufacture of cement. A. L. Dorry and Company of Scran ton, is the firm which has the Chu lasky Cinder tip under consideration. D. S. Price, representative ot the above company,was in town for sever al days last week, working in the interest of the deal. The only obstacle in tho way of closing tho bargaiu seems to be some uncertainty in tho minds of the Scran ton people as to what tho condition of the cinder in tho interior ot the tip might be after the leng lapse of time in which it has been exposed to the action of the elemejits. On the outside it has become impaired in quality and is no longer fit for some of the pur poses to which cinder is applied. In order to sottle this question Mr. Gearhart has granted Derry & Com pany permission to open up the cinder tip and investigate the interior. Work had already begun last week, but was interrupted by the deep fall of snow, Friday. It Derry & Company purchase tho cinder tip they will cause a switch to be built from the D. L. & W. railroad across the canal to facilitate the ship ping. It is said that they will estab lish a plant on tho spot for the nut t-nr variou- ways desired. A Matter of Neglect. Street Commissioner H. B. Deeii is indignant at the indifference with which the borough ordinance is treat ed by rlie residents of town and it seems to him that its provisions are observed more in tho breach than the observance. While most people have managed to shovel off their sidewalks, scarcely any have removed the snow from gutters, notwithstanding that five days have elapsod siuco the snow fell. In this matter alone the street commissioner thinks some poople are paving the way for trouble. Conditions are favorable for a good deal of Hooding by reason of choked-uj) gutters when the first thaw occurs, which will naturally throw the water on tho sidewalk if not into the celler. But the person responsible for the removal of the snow is likely to pay for bis neglect in another way. a- Mr. Deeu declares that if tho ordinance is to be obeyed nothing uow remains for him but to employ men and proceed to clean out the gutters at the expense of the per son occupying the property. A walk throughout town will con vince auy one that the street commis sioner's complaint is notthade without reason. It is only once in several squares that any attempt has been mado to shoved out the gutter . To make the matter wort- the snow re moved from the sidewalk i- generally piled up just outside tho curb-stone, adding to the accumulation in tho gut- i ter, the whole mass forming a dam I which may cause a go:id deal of trou ble.

Eminent physicians and bacteriolo gists are advisiug the sterilization of the mouth-pieces of telephones which are a fruitful source of contagion.

ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH Our town on Friday was shocked by another sudden death which removed a well known and esteemed citizen, the victim being George \X. Myerly, No. 100 East Front street. The death occurred about 20 minutes after 11 o'clock in the forenoon. Mr. Mverlv was ougaged in shoveling snow oft his sidewalk. Ho was being assist ed by his son-in-law, George 15. Wiu tersteeu It happened that John L. Russell came along. Mr. Wintersteen, who was at some distance behind Mr. Myerly stepped aside to let the man pass. He was in the act of resuming 11is task when ho happened to look up and saw that his father-in-law had fallen into the arms of Mr. Russell. He hurried to his side but (lie deceas ed was already lapsing into insensi bility. He was carried into his resi dence where a few moments later ho expired. Dr. Wintersteen, the family physician, was immediately called, but death ensued before his arrival. The cause of death was heart dis ease, with which Mr. Myerly had been afflicted for some three years past. The disease was of a very serious form, which incapacitated him for active em ployment. He retired from his occua tion, that of carpenter and generally made it a point to heed his physician's advice to avoid violent exercise of any sort. Although urged by his son-in law and others of.the family Fri day to leavo the cleaning of the pave ment to others, lie seemed to think that the shoveling would not harm him if he proceeded leisurelv at rho work. In this, he was no doubt mis taken tho attack of heart failure that carried him off,the doctor thinks, was superinduced by tho exercise. The deceased was 6<> years of age. He was one of our representative citiz en.- and a man of sterling integrity. He was an experienced carpenter and for a period of eighteen years filled the position of foreman at the Reading Iron Works. He is survived by his wife, one son, Herbert, of Jersey Shore, and three daughters, Cora, (Mrs. G. B. Winter steen) and Misses Stella and Bertha, of this city. Fell Under the Cars. M. B. Grouse, a brakeman, on tho B. & S. R. R.,fell under the cars Sat urday afternoon and lost bis life as tho result. The accident occurred at Jameson City. A frieght tram with the engine, head-on, or running backwards, was being placed upon tho siding. Crouse, who bad been standing on one of the gondolas next to the locomotive, un dertook to step njx>n the pilot. In the act his foot slipped and he fell. Face to face with death in a terrible form he made a frantic effort to save himself. Failing in an attempt to grasp tho rail of tho locomotive ho tried to reach the piot strap. Il seem ed for a moment that he would be able to hold himself up, but bis heel was caught by one of tho wheels and ho was dragged down under the merciless trucks, where his body was almost dismembered. Two cars passed over him before tho train could be stopped. Both leg- be low tho knoo and his right arm above the elbow were crushod and practical ly dissevered. Tho man survived his terrible injury, although thero were evidences of internal hurts of a serious nature. It was decidual, tw, il'fe' He was taken down to Bloomsburg and placed on board the evening train for that destination. When tho cars reached Plymouth ho expired. The dead brakeman, whose borne was at Forks, a small place near Orange vi lie, is survived by a wife and a child throe years old. Resolutions of Respect.

EFFECTED COUNTY NMIIZUNI The school directors of Montour county assembled in tho High School building Thursday afternoon for the purpose of forming a county organiza tion and electing delegates to the State association, which will meet in Ilarrisburg in February. About thirty director- were present. Borough Superintendent Gordy call ed the meeting to order stating the object of assembling and receiving nominations for temporary president. Dr. Barber was nominated and duly elected. The president appointed N. E. Sidler, of Valley township, and W. H. Orth, of Danville,as temporary secretaries. A permanent organization was then effected by the election of Horace Sidler, of Valley township,as perman ent president and S. W. Herr, of Yal lev township, and W. H. Orth,of Dan ville, as permanent secretai ies. On motion of Mr. Keefer a standing committee of three with the County and Borough Superintendents as mem bers ex-officio was appointed, the pre sident naming for the committee: William Robinson of Washingtonville ; W. O. Krutn of Anthony township and Peter J. Keefer of Danville. Jacob Fischer, Samuel Werkheiser, of Danville, W. O. Krum of Anthony township; N. E. Sidler of Valley and Charles Arnwiue of West Hemlock were dec tod delegates to the State eon vention. On motion of Mr. Fischer it was decided that the expenses of the dele gates be borne by each district honored with an appointment. In conclusion Superintendent Har : man of Hazletou. addressed the direc tors, emphasizing tin- immense respon sibility as well as the honor and dig nity which attaches to tho office of School director. He reminded tli • dir ectors that it was only about seventy years ago that tin public school sys tem was adopted, dwelling upon their unpopularity at first and the fact that two Governors of Pennsylvania failed of re-election because they favored tin; public schools. He contrasted the sentiment at present and the generous State appropriation with the opposi tion at first encountered to show how we have advanced in this one matter which pertains to the general good and which redounds to the credit aid glory of our Common wealth. Occupations of Lawmakers. By taking a glance over the registry list of members of the incoming Leg islature it will he seen that the upper branch contains nineteen lawyers and five physicians. The coal operators, farmers and manufacturers have each three representatives, while there are two each of the following named: Contractors, genrlemeu, editors, lum ber dealers, merchants and oil pro ducers. There is one bookseller, 'one inspector,one hotel keeper and one in surance broker. In the house the lawyers again very largely predominate, there being just forty of them. Next will come the merchants with twenty-five of them, while the farmers come third with twentv-threo of their sturdy represent atives. Insurance and other agents of various kinds have sixteen members. The physicians and manufacturers each have ten members in the bodv and there are twelve clerks. Seven miners will be on the floor to repre sent the best interests of that wdl fiotclfeeepers and as many real ostate dealers are also on the rost er. Four editors and two reporters will look after the interests of tho pen and pencil. Tho lumber interests are re presented by four lumbermen. There are three each of machinists, bank ers, conveyancers and oil producers. The rest, are distributed by one and two each among brokers, inspectors, bartenders, salesmen,constable, paint ers, builders, general managers, car penters, bookkeepers, surveyors, mill ers, liverymen and druggists. Prof essor Francis E. Bowersox, of Snyder, is the only county superintendent of schools who will be on hand to assist in championing the cause ot public schools. The venerable Jeremiah Roth,of Le high county, is the only "voemau". Not only by age but as well by exper ience ho might be called tho father of the House. Ho served in the same capacity during the years of 1887-88, 181>1-!12, 18i)S)-liH)2, therefore now serv ing his fourth term. No doubt As semblyman Roth will lie shown all the courtesies due as a man of his age as well as experience. It will he seen hv the above classi fication that the lawmakers during the coming session are pretty we ll distrib uted among the various interests of the state, although the lawyers appear to walk off with tho lion's share, while farmers and merchants come in second.

' FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION A terrible accident occurred near Moorcsburg last Friday afternoon. A boiler belonging to a portable engine on the tarm of Mrs. David Springer, Liberty township, exploded, instantly killing Warren Mauger of this city and badly injuring another. The farm on which the accident oc curred is occupied by John Manger, son-in-law of Mrs. Springer. Mr. Mauger is the owner of a portable en gine and boiler,which during the past summer and fall he lias used in saw ing shingles and lire wood. Warren Mauger, the victim of the explosion is a nephew of John Mauger and was >pcuding his week's vacation during the teachers' institute with him 011 the farm. He was an active industrious boy and bring much interested in machinery lie was delighted to assist at the wood s.i'.vhig. lie was busy about the engine when the boiler burst. The engine Friday was being used to saw wood. The cause of the explo sion, which occurred about '■! o'clock, is not known. But the havoc wrought was terrible. One side of Warren's head was crushed and death was in stantaneous. John Mauger, the farm er, was also badly hurt, having a very severe wound in the head. Owing to the excitement of the accident it was impossible yesterday to determine the full extent of his injuries. It is said, however, that he was able to assist in carrying his nephew to the house. The deceased hoy, Edward Warren Mauger, was a son of W. H. Manger, West Mahoning street. llf was 18 years of age, a very bright and manly young fellow much beloved by all who knew him. lie was a pupil of the local Higit school and would have graduated in 15)04. The news of the terrible occurrence came as a great shock and has cast a gloom over the neighborhood of the stricken homo. W. 11. Mauger, the father, accom panied by F. P. Johnson, left 'that evening for the scene of the accident. Both father and mother have the sym pathy of the entire community in this, their hour of trial and sorrow. Winter is Here to Stay. Early winters have not been com mon during late years. But the pres ent season is nearly unique in auot her respect. Who can remember a winter when the transition from warm to cold weather was quite so sudden as at present? Some three weeks ago we were reveling in the delights of weath er, bland and summer-like. Today we have a freezing atmosphere. The snow, which came as a surprise last week, is here to stay. Ice is running thick on the river and merry skaters are disporting themselves on the ponds about town. The store windows each morning are decorated with Jack Frost's delicate and inimitable tracery. Sleighs and sleds have taken the place of wheeled vehicles, while with etch succeeding night the mercury sinks nearer to the zero mark. THIS IS A FACT. There is 110 Question About it- Its a Plain Statement of Facts - Made by a Danville Oitizen. Mrs. M. Fields of No. 128 Pine St., Danville, Pa., says . "1 have been both ered a good deal for some time with a ..u »»<*« reeling poorly generally. 1 did not rest well and had frequent nervous headaches. I got some of Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills at Gosh'a Drug Store and used them and felt that I received a very decided benefit. I rested better and felt toned up and better generally." Dr. A. W.

Wiil Control Turkey Price?. Provident housekeepers will do well to make an early calculation of the extra cost that will be added to their Christmas dinners. The high and steadily advancing price of foodstuffs, and particularly of those that are favored of the Christmas season, makes necessary this caution. The big western meat houses, whose trade combination affects poultry as well as tin- larger carcasses, are in absolute control of the turkey market. All manner of fowls are being bought by agents of the trust, who go into the farming sections of the United States and Canada and make their purchases in lots running from one to one thousand. As fast as the fowls are bought they are killed,dressed and stored in the immense refrigerators of the trust. New Telegraph Stations. Tlie'Pennsvl vania Railroad has estab lished a new telegraph office at Heed's Station between Sliamokin and Suubury. Operators will be on duty day and night. A night operator has been added to the force at Suyder town. The volume of business secured from Heed's Station and Snydertown has increased wonderfully during he past year, and the improved clerical force above noted was necessary. Struck by a Plank. Dr. W. 11. Panics.of this city, was called to liushtowu Tuesday to at tend Frank Deibert, who sustained an injury while working about the barn by being struck by a plank which fell from overhead. It was at lirst thought that his nose was broken, but the doctor's examination revealed only a badly lacerated wound, on the nasal member. The Pride of Heroes.

Only 25 c at Paules & Co's drug store MONTOUR COUNTY INSTITUTE Superintendent Harman of Ilazleton was introduced to the County Institute Thursday forenoon and occupied the closing session of tho forenoon. .Mr. Hanuan is one of the most zealous and practical educators in the <t:tte. His address Thursday was no excep tion to the rule and he held the close attention of the teachers. He took as his subject, "Primary Work." In dwelling on the essentials of a tcacln'i for this grade the speaker urged <hat above all she be possessed of sound health, in order that .she may be phys ically equal to her daily task and that her very presence may carry into the school room cheerfulness and sun shine, which can only accompany ;« sound body. As another impoitant qualification she must be constitution ally fond of children—"must love the little ones," to the etxent of feeling no reluctance to taking them to her arms should the occasion warran 1, it. While a warm heart for the little folks is important in all the grades it is one of the essentials in primary work.Any one who lias not this fondness for very little children should seek work in the higher guides. Superintendent Har niau considers the prim irv schools tin* "nursery of the nation" and the teach ers employed there who are doing thoughtful,purposeful work lie declar ed, are doing the "chief work of the school room." Professor DeMotfe gave one of his masterful talks before the institute during the morning session. Superintendent W. W. Stetson had a treat in store for tlio institute, which was announced on tho program as "Readiug an Unprinted Page" and a "Master's Message. "In a general way tho fxerciso might be described as an interpretation of art. With "The Man with the Hoe," "The Angelas" and some other famous pictures before him the speaker sought to express in words what the artist sought to bring out on canvas. Ho succeeded admirably throwing into the expression a depth of feeling and a great deal of rich im agery. The thirty-seventh annual Teachers' Institute of Montour county adjourned sine die at noon Friday. The morn ing session had a special feature in the form of an address by the evangel ist Schiverea, who, accompanied by General Secretary W. I). Laumaster, dropped into the Institute. The evangelist took as his theme "Success." Success in the fullest sense, which carries with it the idea ol true manhood and true womanhood, depends upon the strength of the in dividual, who must be strong physical ly, mentally and spiritually. The ad dress, as seems tr, be the case with all the evangelist's talks, made quite an impn-ssiou. Rev. Harry Curtin Harman also ad dressed the teachers. His remarks, which were broad and sympathetic in their naturi and quite* happy in their allusions to school affairs, were very much enjoyed. The final period was occupied by Hon. W. W. Stetson, with an intense ly practical talk. He takes the view that in our schools too much time is devoted to subjects whose practical value is doubtful and other tilings that might be dwelt upon with profit correspondinglv neglected. Especially dwelt upon in the most exhaustive manner out of all proportion to its im portance. For bis own part at no time in the affairs of life has he ever been called upon to apply his knowledge of cube root, a subject which he cited as one of the gieat time consumers. Speaking of the common school ge ography he regretted that he himself in his younger days spent much valuable time on the subject of Popocatapetl, only to discover later in life that the Mexicans know 110 mountain by that name. He predicted that the time will come when the common school ge ography as at present taught will bo discarded and the time devoted to the pupils' own locality, where there is .so much that is practical to be learned. Mr. Stetson urged every teacher to find time occasionally to give instruc tion on conventional forms. This should not take the form of a lesson on manners, but should bo taught in eidentally, by a little story now and then, or in some other way, so that the pupils drink in tin* knowledge un consciously. The speaker deplored the fact that so many young men and wo men grow up imperfectly in'ormed on 11 ie conventionalities of social and pub lie life and as a consequence are often put to great embarrassment even if their future advancement is not posi tively retarded. The following resolutions were ad opted at the closing sessions of the County Institute Friday morning: WHEREAS, Tho teachers of Mon tour County, Pennsylvania, in 37th annual Institute assembled, feel we have been most ably instructed, splendidly entertained and in every way greatly benefitted and WHEREAS, We are indebted to those who have so intelligently and generously contributed to the success of the Institute, therefore^be it RESOLVED, That we extend to Superintendent Derr our hearty thanks in token of our appreciation of his services to us in securing most able and entertaining instructors for oui I day sessions; that wo extend oui thanks to Superintendents W.

Many Conversions Being Made, The Evangelist Schiverea h:w lioon preaching to crowded audiences in the Mahoning Presbyterian church during the present week. His sermon last night was founded on Lu'ie, 10rh chapter, :30th verse: "Notwithstand ing in this rejoice not,that the -pirir are subject unto you ; but rattier re joice because your names are written in heaven.'' Tlie effort was especially strong and together with Tuesday night's dis course when he preached on"The Value of a Soul," will lie remember ed as one ot the greatest evangelii il sermons ever preached in Danville. It begins to be manifest that the efforts of the evnngoiist are In rintr fruit in very many conversions. Not only Sunday afternoon, hut every meet ing since seems to have brought a number to repentant. La-t night especially an unusually large number waited for the after meeting or rotn ed to the lecture room of tho church for prayer. Masquerade at the Armory. The masquerade ball given by the Keystone Club at tho Armory last evening was largely attended.

At ? o'clock a box of dynamit" was lowered down the shaft for miner Matthew Phillips. Mr. Phillips put the box on his .shoulder and started to wards the tool shanty in tie ea-t, branch of tie- mines. Hi- laborer fol lowed a few feet behind. TJie inten tion was to open the ho\ near tln» shanty, place it in two bags and then carry it to the breasts where tli two men were employed. ft is thought that when n >ar tii*> shanty Phillips stumhled and fl • b \ iell to the ground and ' \;h>d I Ti. r port wa- ;omet liing terrifi" • ■ I *• v< ry man an I beast within four hundred yards of the concussion wa< either killed or maimed. Two men, George and hdward Col let, had preceded Phillips and Mf- Glynn into the mine and were -itting about, .-ix hundred feet from the fatal powder when it exploded. They were lifted a number of feet in the air and thrown against the siding with a thud. Realizing that souie serious expljsion had taken place, tbey jump-id to their feet and ran through the dust aud smoke towards the place. They were the first uninjured persona to reach the scene and the sight that met their eves was something terrible. HORRIBLE SIGHT. Dead and unconscious bodies lav un der their feet and amidst the dense smoke the pat fly maimed men ran hither and thither, crying with their injuries and shouting for help. A few mules who were near the explosion be came terrified by their injuries and tii» .JvnfciiinK at phi. and ran among the dead and unconscious bodies. Those at the foot, of the shaft were lificd from their feet hut received no injuries. An investigation wa- l»-gun audit was at once seen that the ac cident had left death and destruction in its wake. Nows of the explosion was sent to the head of the shaft and the general L. & W. B. office notified. Four ambulances and a large number of phvsieians were sent to the colliery by G. neral Superintendent- Ri !> inl and under the su[iervisu II of General Mine Superint ndciit Morj an. Assist ant Superintendent Jon *s uid No. foreman Evans, the work, of removing the bodies began. The ho isting engine hou-e was turned into a temporary hospital and all the lifeless aud in jured bodies were taken there. The scenes within that structure were heartrending to behold. The injur ed men were taken toon ■ corner of the engine lions*' mi sfc.-etchers, the dead bodies lay along the side of the engine, while in the k far corner the task of washing t'm dead I • gaii. Phillips, who carried the deadly giant powder, was blown to pieces, no part of his body being morn than about nine inches in length. They were placed in a little pile in the engine I house until tin v were removed to the deceased's home by Cndertaker Knitl en. The bo lies of M -Glynn and Arthur Jones, although horribly mangled, were not beyond recognition. PHYSICIANS ON THE SCENE. The following physicians responded to the call of Superintendent Richards and very shortly aft r t.ii • a • idem were it work attending to the injured 1 or sending the maimed to the hospital: Drs. Stewart. Mveis, Wagner, Pettit. Kressler and Smith. Those who were able to walk lionu were attended there by one of the phvsieians. Mr. Sweeney wa- remov ed to the Mercy hospital,where it was found that his injuries,although quit* serious, are not fatal. A LARGE;CROWD. The news «»t the explosion qui klv sprca i and, a- - generally'the ca- *, the first report was mu< h exaggerated, it being stated that sc\i iitven had net death. People from all parts of t!i ■ eitv.who had members of their family working in No. .*>. rushed to the col lierv, and soon the foot of the shaft was .surrounded by anxious fathers, mothers and children. The officials had a difficult tune in keeping the throng of people out of the engine hou-e where the dead and injured lay. Sp eial coal policemen. Finch, Chief Jones and city det • fiv Prow ii .net two otln-r officers were < n the ground and kept the large crowd from getting into tin* engine house anil handicapping the work of the physi cians. The scene- at the foot ot the shaft were very pathetic. Shortly before tin* d id bodies were washed.
