Mr. Reifsnyder opposed the measure. The indebtedness incurred by sew er age was sufficient for the present, be sides he held (hat to donate such a sunt of money to one company would be equivalent to multiplying it by four as it would be only a short tirno be fore each of the other throe hose com panies would request a similar sum for a barn aud that they would be rightfully entitled to it. Mr. Davis aud others spoke 111 favor of the appropriation reminding Council that the Washington Hose Company has a superior claim as things stand at present by reason ol the big amount, some SI7OO, that the members have raised and expended for horses, wagons and equipment iu general. The discussiou waxed very warm aud for awhile it seemed we were to have a repetition of the stormy scenes which marked the proceedings of council during last year. The question was finally put, the president declining to vote unless a tie should follow. A tie was the very tiling that did result. The suspense was great for a few moments while the President deliberated. "I will vote with the negative" he announced, and thus the motion died. A communication was read from merchants and citizens petitioning Council to enact legislation that will require persons selling retail by samples or otherwise to take out a license before soliciting in the bor ough. The petition was signed by nineteen person*. It was discussed at considerable length and on motion laid over until the next meeting for further consideration. Tie* ordinance relating to the licens ing of shooting galleries and like con cerns that are in the borough only temporarily was adopted 011 its second reading. Before it passed, however, a change was made in the ordinance do ing away wi'h the daily license of two dollars and substituting a mini mum charge of five dollars for ten days or under with fifty cents or a dollar per day for additionial time at the discretion of the Burgess, who is to issue the license. A communication was received from , a citizen in the Fourth Ward, asking j that several keys be procured for each j of the hose houses one or more of which are to be kept at near-by resid ences, where they can be procured by j those interested in case of fire. The writer alleged that certain of the hose houses are scenes of illegal prac tices. Acting upon the communica tion Mr. Lloyd moved that an ordin ance hi- enacted prohibiting drinking, card playing or any illegal practice in the hose houses of the Borough under penalty of $25 or disbandment. Mr. Lloyd also wanted an ordinance against snowballing and throwing papers and circulars on the street, both of which become great nuisances. The matter was referred to the Com mittee 011 ordinance aud police, they to report at next meeting. ! HILLSIDE BRICK | _ COMPANY Au iteiu appeared in the "Camden Post-Telegram" of Tuesday which in dicates that developments have been j reached in the vitrified brick project I 011 foot here, which would leave 1:11 1 doubt as to the full success of the un dertaking. The Post-Telegram say-: "The Hillside Brick Manufacturing Company of Danville. Pa., filed art icles of incorporation in the County Clerk's office, this morning. The j capital stock is $50(),()00. William G. Shoop of this city, who j owns the ricli deposit of shale north l of the Borough, which figures in the j project to manufacture vitrified brick, 'was interviewed by a representative of ! this paper yesterday afternoon. He J said that the young men of Philadel phia who are acting as promoters had some New York people interested in the project and on the occasion of ! their last visit to this city had seciy :ed a longer option, which lias not as | yet expired. He was unable however, |to throw any light upon the status of affairs and was as much surprised as ! anybody to see that things had reach ed socli an advanced stage as implied I by the article quoted above. There is but one deduction to draw from the premises and that is that those interested mean business and that j another new industry is likely to grow jup in Danville. As indicated bv the capital stock subscribed the plant will 'bo no small affair and mny be relied I upon to employ a good many hands. The deposit of shale is not only all ' that is desired in quality but it is al- I * ; most unlimited IU extent insuring a ! first class product and an extensive | and growing business. Missionary Convention. The Twenty-third annual convention of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary society of the Susquehanna Synod will meet in Williamsport 011 May 19th to remain in session until the 21st inclusive. The sessions will be held in St. Paul's Lutheran Church of which Rev. J. M. Auspach, D. D., is pastor. The synodical society,of which Mrs. M. L. Shindel of this city is president, takes in a wide territory embracing Williamsport, Seliusgrove, Hazleton and Berwick with Danville and all other intermediate towns. It comprises thirty-two Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary societies; five young peo ple's societies and thirteen mission bauds—fifty organizations in all. It represents a total membership of 1500. Pine street Lutheran church will have three delegates at the annual con- ; vention; two of these, Mrs. F. G. ! Schoch and Miss Gussie Brnder, will • represent the Woman's auxiliary;! Mrs. George A. Rossman will repre- 1 sent the Mission baud. The Synodical district of which ■ Danville forms a part is very active j in missionary effort and has every rea- j son to bo proud of what it has accom- j plished in this line. In addition to Rev. Dr. Day and wife of Selinsgrove, now deceased, who labored for twenty- ; two years in Africa, the district three other missionary workers in foreign fields. These are Miss Bern- , inger of Catawissa.who will return to China next fall, Miss Jessie Brewer of j Williamsport, who has labored 111 India } for seven years, and Miss Mary Lowe j of Bloomsburg. who will enter upon missionary labor this fall, accompany ing Miss Brewer to India, the latter at present being home on a furlough, j TV Memorial Day. As the years roll around the ranks of ; the old soldier grow thinner, aud as a matter of fact the proper observance of J Memorial Day is not carried out with the zeal that is the pride of the old j veteran. While death is decreasing the ranks, j old age is crippling the comrades left behind, physically and financially,and as a result the day is not properly ob served. While other associations will keep up the annual custom of decorating tin graves of those who have served their God and their country, there is something due from the general pub lic that has been benefitted so much by the results of the cause. Now that the average Post has scarcely enough members to fill the chairs it is getting more difficult yearly to procure the funds to properly celebrate the day. Consequently the Memorial Day ex ercises has lost some of its good feat ures—music and flowers. The least any town can do is to ap propriate money for music aud flow- ! ers. We owe the old soldier a thousand j times more than we can ever repay t • him. Loon Mounted. The large loon or Great Northern j Diver, shot along Mahoning Creek a few weeks ago, has been mounted by j Rev. N. E. Cleaver. Mr. Cleaver is a skillful taxidermist and the loon as mounted is a fine specimen. It has ' been presented to Hotel Keeper Clar- j ence Peifer, who prizes it very high- j ly. Sunbury's New Bank. Sunbury capitalists, together with others from different parts of the coun ty, have organized a new Sunbury ! National Bank. Dr. F. B. Drumheller is president aud Attorney H. S. Knight solicitor. A fine new bank building will shortly be erected at the corner of Fourth and Market streets. DANVILLi:. PA.. Till ItSDAY MAY 7. 1908.

Ainmerman,Major C. P. Gearhart and David R. Eckmau, yes terday returned from a drive to White Deer Mountains, where they spent a couple of days fishing for trout. The fishermeu met with only in different luck, conditions not being very good for fishing at present. The streams are very low and the water clear as crystal, the latter circum stance being an especially unfavorable | one as it enables the trout to see the j fishermen. The gnats, which infest the mount- ! aiu streams, prove a great pest to fish ermen and of the trio of townsmen who have just, returm 1 there is not one but whose face hears the marks of the tormenting little insects. A Month of Pleasant Weather. The halcyon days of May offer so j 1 ft-w annoyances to a spring-fever ad- ' ; dieted public that the regard paid for past Mav weather, natural or un ! natural, is not a sacred one. And so it should be if the record of fourteen years is worthy of confidence. The i record shows May to be second only to an Indian summer month and filled j with an adequate supply of thorongh j ly nice weather. In temperatuio it has a mark of sixty-two degrees, although May ISO, ! 1 Hilo, the mercury climbed lo ninety ! five and May 6, 1891, had a drop to thirty-six degrees. liin.ASKHV'S INDUSTRY The big cinder tip at Chulaskey is the K'jat of a new industry which is likely to 1 ecome an important factor. The variot J- uses to which cinder may be put lias b en dwelt upon previously in the- • < kiinns. A corporation to work up t .cinder has been organized known as the Chulaskey Iron and Cement Company with A. L Derry of Scranton as General Manager. A switch has been built at the tip aud the company has installed a large crusher with a capacity of 150 tons per day. A boiler and engine have also been installed. On Saturday ten men were at work getting the machinery in shape. Affairs at. the cinder tip are in charge of D. S. Price recently of Scranton, who has removed his family to this city. Mi. Price stated on Sat urday that they would bo ready to start the crusher some time during the present week. Next week everything will be in full running order aud the plant will be pushed to its fullest capacity. Some thirty-five hands will bo required to fill all the posts. The cinder tip, which is one of the largest in this section, contains mill ions of cubic yards. It yields large quantities of coal and iron. In regard to the latter, especially.it far surpass es all expectations. Although the work of digging in the tip is scarcely more than begun, already one car load of iron has been extracted and ship ped away. Along with the iron eight tons of coal came to light. The com pany expects to procure enough coal from the tip to furnish all the steam required for power in crushing the cinder. The first contract to be filled is one for railroad ballast. Later the com pany will hid for contracts for street paving. The product of the plant is said to make a first-class pavement, which is preferable to either brick or asphalt. The company poiuts with pride to certain parts of Scranton which is paved with cinder as treated in this process, where the pavement has stood the test of time and the hard est kind ot wear. In street paving an excavation is made some twelve or fourteen inches deep. Coarse cinder is placed in the bottom; this is covered with successive layers of the same material, each finer than the one preceding until the sur face is reached, which is given a coat of pulverized cinder. Each of the layers is subjected to an enormous pressure under an iron roller of many tons' weight. The pulverized cinder or cement, under the treatment be comes a solid mass, yielding no dust and resisting the wear of the heaviest traffic. Arrest-jd and Fined. John Carr of the Second Ward was arrested and fined Monday afternoon for neglecting to send his little sou to school. The warrant was svvoru out aud served by Truant Officer \V. E. Young. The hearing took place be fore Justice-of-the-Peace Oglesby. The defendant testified that he was unable to keep his boy in school. The little fellow, who is about eleven years of age,was with his father working in the garden when the warrant was serv ed. The justice took the view that Mr. Carr had violated the school law re lating to attendance, which requires that every parent or guardian having children in charge between the ages of eight and thirteen years shall be obliged to send them to school during at least sixteen weeks in the year. The law provides that a parent or guardian neglecting this duty shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and for the first offense shall forfeit a fine not exceed ing two dollars aud for each subse quent conviction a fine not exceeding five dollars. Justice Oglesby was disposed to be louietit and as this was the first con viction he imposed upon the defend ant a fine of one dollar in addition to the costs. There are several other cases in the borough similar to the one disposed of yesterday and Truant Officer Young states that arrests will be of daily oc currence until the pupils are kept in school as required by law. His action yesterday in causing arrest will no doubt be sufficient to show that he is thoroughly in earnest. End of Finger Pinched.Off. William Bell of Mahoning town ship, met with a singular accident yesterday which resulted in the loss of a portion of a finger. Ho had a horse hitched to a log | which he was moving from one spot j to another. He bad just fastened the j chain around the log, when the horse } suddenly started drawing the chain ! tight and catching his left forefinger between the links. Had his linger been in a viso it would not have been squeeztd any harder and almost be fore lie realized what had happened the end was pinched off. The fore finger was severed at the first joint and the amputation could not have been any more neatly accomplished if it had been done with a knife. Mr. Hell drove down to this city where his injury was dressed by l)r. Currv. Spring Guns, Too. It is also a misdemeanor for boys to discharge spring guns within the state under the new law prohibiting the use of Flobert rifh s It would be well for some Danville boys to remem ber this fact. MISSIONARY SERMON Rev. S. S. Snydor, a returned mis sionary, delivered ;t fine address iu Sli iloli Reformed chnrch, this city, Sunday morning on the subject of missionary effort in Japan. There was a largo congregation present, tax ing the full seating capacity of the auditorium. Rev. Snyder is a fluent speaker and being thoroughly in touch with the situation in Japan as it relates to mis sionary work his discourse proved of absorbing interest to every person who has the dissemination of gospel truths at heart. The present centnry, lie said, is I the century of missions. The field is ' the entire world. At no place on the globe, however, is there such a need | of missionaries as in Japan. Since the recent treaty the country is open to Americans and passports are no longor necessary. Japan is rapidly yielding to outside influences. Enlightenment is dawning upon the counrry and the people are ripe for innovation and change. Japan is a land of students, and Tokio is the great student center of the world. Net only is the country educating her own sons, but other countries, notably China, is sending her young men to Japan for their ed ucation. Thus Japan lias come to be called "The School Master of the East." We should be wise then and win Japan to Christ. The speaker spoke at length on the schools with which he is connected at Sendai, a city of 80,000 population, in the northern part of Japan. He ex plained how these institutions of learn ing are made an effective agency in the spread of the gospel among the Japanese. Missionaries are few in number and owing to the difficulty in mastering the Japanese language they labor under a great disadvantage in preaching directly to the natives. Much time therefore is spent iu teach ing and the new converts as fast as educated are scut out to preach among their people. They have the advan tage of thoroughly understanding tliet language and although they are a™ to be regarded as the "hirelings of a foreign religion" and meet with many discouragements yet in the general awakening of ttie country the truths they disseminate find a pretty general acceptance. The speaker said that the condition of niorals'in Japan is very low. Every family lias its house hold gods, to whom the children are taught to bow. At present, he said, there is but one Christian to every one thousand souls iu Japan. Yet even this represents progress, as only thirty years ago, the Bible was excluded from Japan and the penalty for being a Christian was death. There is now freedom of con science over the whole empire. Iu illustrating the necessity of in creased support for missionary wo»k iu Japan, Rev. Snyder cited some figures showing that out of the im mense population of that country, some 1,000,000,000. in number but 1,- 327,000 have been converted to Chri.-t. While in this country the average number of Christians to one minister is 7T4, in Japan for every missionary employed there are 200,000 natives. Narrow Escape. A young lady came within an ace of being run over by Hoover Bros.' wag on on Mill street yesterday and was saved only by the quick action of the driver, John Kutz. The young lady with a companion was crossing over from Hunt's drug store to the Opera House, when Hoov er Bros.' wagon came along. The ladies were chatting together appar ently much interested in the conver sation ; one of the two had her face turned asido and heedless of where she stepped walked right up against the wheel of the wagon. She was struck bv the hub and thrown to the ground, falling in front of the wheel. The driver had excellent control of his horses and succeeded in stopping them on the spot. The young lady's foot lay immediately in front of the wheel and had the horses taken an other step forward she would have been run over. There would have been little hope for her foot if it had got under the wheel, as the wagon is a heavy one. The narrow escape was witnessed by a number of persons who received quite a fright. Purchased Jewelry Store. J. W. Lore lias bought out the jew elry business of Henry Rernpe. Ne gotiations between the two were on foot for a couple of weeks or more,but it was not until yesterday afternoon that the sale was consummated. Mr. Lore only recently removed to this city from Tonawanda, N. Y., where for two years lie conducted a drug store. He was formerly a resi dent of this city, removing from here ro Tonawanda. lie will be remember ed as proprietor of the drug store, i comer of Mill and East Mahoning ! streets, at present owned by G. Slioop Hunt. Mr. Lore's purchase in i eludes the stock and fixtures of liempe's jewelry store and he will continue the business at the old stand. Mr. Lore is a good business man. courteous and obliging.and he will no doubt succeed in his new venture. Mr. Rempe withdraws to give his un divided attention to his recent inven tion the clock which runs without winding. The early morning Sunday school is in favor during the summer months KSTAHUSHED IN 1855. WILL ASK FOR STATE Alii The County Commissioners will take measures required by law to secure state aid under the Sjiroul Good roads act for repairs ou the piece of road between Danville and Mausdale. The application in made in good time, believing that the county will stand a better chance of receiving the aid petitioned for if it is not postponed until too many others get in ahead. The road between town and Mane dale is a stretch of high v. ay hard to keep in repair and state aid would come in very nicely. The amount of travel which passes over it is some thin# prodigious. The roads from .Tersoytown, Washiogtonville, Milton and Lewisburg converge upon it. A portion of it is too rough for comfort able driving while other portions ex cept in dry weather are very muddy. Mahoning township is especially un fortunate in the matter of roads. Ly ing as it does nearly surrounding the Borough of Danville all its roads re ceive the maximum of travel, while the total mileage of its highways is out of all proportion to its taxable property. Altogether the section of road be tween Danville nnd Mausdale would soem to he just such as the framers of the law had in view. If state aid be secured it will lift a considerable burden from the township and give the county at least one road construct ed ou scientific principles,durable and good at all seasons. Oouncil Makes Some Changes. E. S. Miller,who was elected Street Commissioner on Friday night to suc ceed H. B. Doen.has entered upon the duties of his office. By an action of council at last meeting the duties of the Street Commissioner were lighten ed somewhat. Instead of assisting in the market collections as heretofore he will give more of his time to the streets. He is still Street Commis sioner and Market Master as specified in the ordinance, but his duties relat ing to market will be merely to decide questions of location for wagons, and to inspect weights and measures at regular intervals as required by the borough ordinance. Hereafter the Chief-of-Police will sell the tickets to the venders in the curbstone market and his assistant will follow later collecting the same. Council ou Friday night took action on another matter, which relates to the Water Superintendent as well as the Street Commissioner. One of the matters, it was claimed, never settled was whether or not either of these officials are expected to lend a helping hand while overseeing work or wheth er they are employed merelv to " boss the job." No one seemed to favor the latter view, and on motion of Mr. Goeser seconded by Mr. Montgomery it was decided that the Street Commissioner and Superintendent of the Water Works hereafter shall be expected to lend a helping hand wherever occasion presents itself to the end that their services may bo made as valuable as possible and assist in reducing the running expenses of the borough. linprovemerts on "Dug Road." The Supervisors of Mahoning town ship have made some improvements at the "dug road" below towu that are highly appreciated by the traveling public. All the way down the mountain side for a distauce of over 1300 feet along the lower side of the road an iron guard rail has been erected. It is a neat substantial piece of work, which not only adds to one's sense of security in driving down the hill but gives the place quite an improved appearance as well. On Saturday men were employed in blasting away the rock at the foot of the mountain where the dug road in tersects the Northumberland road for the purpose of widening the place suffi ciently to enable a wagon coming down tiie mountain to turn down the river. Previously vehicles coming down the dug road before being able to turn were obliged to follow the road toward town for some distance before a place wide enough w»i found. The Wagon Broke Down. A wagon belonging to W. T. Shep person heavily loaded with coal,broke down at the entrance to the river bridge ou the South Danville side about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. It was necessary to transfer the coal to another wagon in order that the broken one might be drawn aside out of the way of travel. Re-union of Sixteeners. Th< Mt. Joy Sixteeners are prepar ing for their 1 flth annual re-union to be held at Mt Joy, May .10.

The First National Rank on Monday declared a semi-annual dividend of live per cent payable on demand. The Dauville National Bank on the same date declared its one hundredth and sixth semi-annual dividend of three per cent payable on demand Duck Season Ended.

Considers Crop a Failure. Dr. S. Y. Thompson on his farm af "Pilgrim's Rest," near Mooresbnrg has one of the finest peach orchards in the county. Some ten days ago pros pects were fair for a big yield and he estimated his crop at at least two thousand five hundred bushels. The cold snap of last week, how ever, was fatal and Dr Thompson stated yesterday that he ha< no hojies of any peaches at all. Prospects, he said,were also bright for a big crop of peaches on his tarm iu Cumberland county and he had estimated his crop there at on- tl ou and five hundred bushels; but the cold weather was as destructive tle-re as elsewhere and the probability i* that the yield will be next to nothing Ask Aid for Orphans Home.
