Grazing near the spot in the street was a cow with very sharp horns, which belong ed to a family residing near by. The : animal did not show any sign ol i treachery and the boys did not pav any attention to her. Finally the ball rolled nearle r feet and Paul went to pick it up when the 1 cow with a sadden hinge caught him upon her horns and tossed him clear | over her back. The little fellow tell ( heavily upon the ground, but regained i hi> feet in a short time, although it was evident that he was badlv hurt. A lady who witnessed "the affair ran to his side to render help. The little | fellow was crying and holding his : hand upou the the lower part ol his j body, where he complained of pain j \n examinaton revealed that the cow s ! horn had punctured the abdomen, ! penetrating very dieply and causing the int-stines to protrude The hoy was carried into the house j and Dr. Harpel, the family physician, j was called. As soon as the latter saw the case he said lie would need assist- 1 ance.and selected Dr. P. C.

Frederick Moser of Valley township fell off a load of hay on Mill street yesterday and sustained injuries which necessitated surgical treatment. Accompanied by a farm hand about 10 o'clock Mr. Moser drove into town with his hay and stopped near the curb opposite Murray's store. The load was a high one and to assist in dismount ing the men had brought with them a ladder which was on top of the hud. While bis companion held ihe horses Mr. Moser who wished to look around for a purchaser, took the ladder and left it down behind the wagon. The lower end, it appears, did not set level and .just as the man \\ a in tie act ot stepping upon the top rinc_>- it tilted with the result that the man and ladder fell to the ground. Mr. Moser struck the curl; ion-' and the ladder fell on him. He am e to | his feet but was unable to stand and fell to the ground. Isv this time sev eral persons who witiH s»ed the acci dent had come to his assistance. His face was bleeding from a cut just be low the eye where the ladder struck liiiu. The gentleman was soon upon his feet again and walked to the office of Dr. Paules where he received surgical .attention He was somewhat bruised and jarreil by the fall, hut beyond these and the gash upon his face, which was not deep, he did not seem to lit; much injured. He was soon up on the street again negotiating for the s tie of bis hay. Mr Moser is nearly seventy four years of age and is one of the oldest and most active residents ot Valley township. Not Yet Recovered. Eva Boody, the girl who was shock ed by lightning Tuesday afternoon, h»-t evening had not fully recovered from the effects.

L Heibb ns, Anthony* township, narrowly escaped drowning Tuesday in a small stream which was swollen in to a raging torrent bv the heavv down pour of rain. Heilman with two horses attached to a farm wngo,. after the shower was driving home from the farm ot Mrs. Charles Vognetz near Wadiingtoiiville where he had been assisting to plough. ' Upon reaching the ;tream crossing the road which Hows into the <'hiUisqua que near the line between Anthony , and Decry townships, instead of the, small run which he was accustomed to ho found a broad expanse of water . which spread out over the fields and submerged the road for quite a dis tance. Without stopping to consider its depth or the velocity ot its current he 1 undertook to effect a crossing. No sooner had he reached the middle than the horses were carried oft 11. ir fci.t and along with the w.tgou weri sv ept down the stream. The wagon consisted only ot the running gears upon which some loose boards were laid Th"se soon became separated and unable to hold ou after drifting some five hundred feet the man fell into the current. Mr. Heilman was swept along like a cork in the foaming, rushing waters. Several times he was on ths verge of drowning and he was about togiveup in despair when lin was caught in a whirlpool and swept in toward the shore far enough to enable liiin to clutch a bush. Thus lie saved his life. What became of the team he did not know, as he had been carried a long distance down the stteani. Walking to the residence of \lfred Snyder he made his fearful adventure known and asked that they assist him to find the horses. These were found at last under a high embankment where they wert im prisoned with their heads just above the surface of the water. The wagon had struck the shore at this point and so great was the momentum in the swift current that the tongue was driven into the steep bank to the depth of three feet. The two horses were finally rescued by cutting the bar.less. A plow which was oil tiie wagon, up to last evening had not been found. Funeral of William Mitchell. William Mitchell, whose death oc curred on Thursday, was buried Sun day afernoon. The funeral was one of the largest that has lately taken place in this city. The deceased was a skilful iron work er and was very widely known. He was a generous open-hearted man of sunny disposition and wa- beloved not only among his fel low employe* in the mill but by all those with whom lie came in contact in his daily life. The outpouring of the people of all classes yesterday to pay their last respects at tested eloquently to bis popularity. J The deceased was a member of Dough erty Tent, No. Knight - of the Maccabees,and of the Continental Fire Company. The Knights of the Mac cabees. thirty-five strong,attended the funeral in a body and perfotmed the burial services of the order at the ! grave. The 'ire department turned . out iii a body. Nearly two hundred strong led by the Knights of the Mac cabees they marched after the hearse in solemn and orderly procession. Rev. N. E. Cleaver officiated at tie* | funeral. After a short service at the late residence on Spruce street there- | mains were taken to Trinity M. E. ! Church were the last rites were per- j formed. The pall bearers were Thomas | Roney,Edward Leamey and A. Mellm representing the Maccabees and Will- j iam McVey, Frank Riley and John Ward chosen Irom among the mill i workers There were many biautiful floral offerings. Interment took place iu Odd Fel- , lows' cemetery. Work Resumed Th is Morning. Up to the present no work has been done on the sewer tins week. Tie river yesterday had fallen low enough ; to make digging possible had it not been for the water which accumulated ; iu the trench from other sources. The traction engine which will he j used to furnish -team to force the water out of the sewer by siphon was ! brought down from the upper end of the Borough yesterday. The traction j engine was fired up before starting and [ was taken to the sewer with steam as the moving power. A rude shed was built over the boil er and engine, after which the connec tions with the sewer were established, so that this morning everything is in readiness to resume under more favor able conditions than at any time since the work was begun. All that i- need ed now is fair weather. Death of Alfred Oashner, Alfred Theodore Caslnier, son of Daniel Cashner, East Market street, died about !l o'clock Sunday morn ing after a short illne-s.

The County Commissioners have had men at work for several days past tightening up the bolts which sup port the river bridge. The bridge had become very unsteady and was sub ject to a swinging motion which was not comfortable to pedestrians on the sidewalk whenever a wagon heav ily loaded was crossing. The cause was found to lie in the loose condition of the bolts and now as far as these have been tightened up the bridge seems much firmer and heavy hauling affects it hut little. The bridge was uo doubt much in jured by fast driving which for a time notwithstanding the vigilance of the watchman was indulged in in de fiance ol the rules. Fast driving is an evil which the Commissioners at present have pretty well under con trol and the bridge is now in good shape with fair prospects of continu ing so. Work on the now roof will begin in a few weeks. The contract is held by Truiubower & Werkheiserof this city. Sad Drowning Case Recalled. Ji.coh i'l-cher returned from New Kensi ll 't:i:i, near Pittsburg, last even ing were he was called last week by the drowning of his two nephews,sons ot Charles Frank, who formerly resid ed in Danville. There were lour victims of the drowning accident. There was anoth er boy in the boat with Mr. Frank's sons and he lost his life with them. The fourth victim was an overseer of a manufacturing plant nearby who at tempted to rescue the hoys. The first body was recovered on Thursday; on Friday morning the Frank hoys were found and later the ! man who endeavored to save their lives. Mr. Frank's boys were buried Saturday morning. The boat did not upset as at first re- I ported here. The boys found tliein i selves in swift water and fearing that ! they would be carried away jumped ! out. Had they remained in the boat, ! it i- thought, they would have saved j their lives. The Toy Pistol. I There is a law on the statute hooks which imposes a penalty of ;j?:too fine on the dealer in fireworks and explos ives who sells toy pistols oi cannon dynamite crackers. This law is of such recent origin that it is not gen erally known,and perhaps dealers who are preparing for the sale of such pi-tols and crackers on the Fourth of July vn 111 hesiate about violating it. AS TO NEW INDUSTRIES The Directors of the Board of Trade hehl a special meeting Monday night. .John 11. Goeser occupied the chair, j Directors were present as follows: M. G. Youngman, W. L. McClure, F. Hartman, J. B. Watson,W. G. Pursel, Harry Ellenbogen, W. G. Williams, J. H. Colo and George Reifsnyder. Communications were read from two western firms which desire to change location, each of which according to representation seemed to represent a permanent and growing business. The financial standing of each seemed to he perfectly satisfactory while the reasons assigned for wanting to move were good. One of these especially appealed to the Board of Directors. It was not a "bonus hunter" and the terms of re moval it poposed were business like and eminently fair. Both propositions were such that the Board of Trade could not without in justice to the Borough decline to fully investigate them. They were there fore referred to the Manufacturing Committee, which will conduct an in vestigation to gain all additional in formation possible concerning the plants. The Board of Trade has now gotten down to work. The proceedings are of such a nature that too much pub licity might defeat the object in view. Much that is done, therefore can not appear in the public prints and the idea may get abroad that little is be ing done. Such an impression would he highly erroneous. Suffice it to say that the Board of Directors are put ting in full time, which as they are all active business men, means for them "over time." If they have not as yet lauded an industry, it is because that after ex haustive inquiry and investigation the plants in view were found wholly un desirable. From present indications it does not seem at all unlikely that one of the two industries under con sideration may come to Danville. A good deal of time last night was spout in discussing the advisability of establishing a "guaranty fund" as is done in Williamsport aud some live towns which suppoit a Board of Trade. The guaranty fund is raised by popular subscriptions and held in readiness to be put out on first mortgage to help along new industries which wish to locate in the municipality. The guaranty fund, which can be ou inter est at 3 per cent., will always be that much money available for the Board of Trade thus securing for the town ready recognition from business coucerns that are looking for a new location, as no uncertainty exists as to whether or not the money needed can bo raised. The matter was left in the hands of the Finance Committee which will obtain a little fuller information as to tiie method of handling the fund and report at the next meeting. Baltons Sent Up Saturday. The two large paper balloons design ed as an attraction for the Y. M. C. A. Boys' picnic, Thursday, hut which could not be used then owing to the rain were sent up at tho Y. M. C. A. Building od Saturday evening. The ascension was witnessed by an immense crowd among whom were nearly all the members of the Y. M. C. A Boys' Bible Class. The balloons such as used are about twelve feet in height with a circum ference in proportion. They are made of paper and are of several different colors. They are inflated with hot air which is produced by a lighted torch adjusted in the bottom of tho balloon, which continues to burn for an indefi nite time. The balloons Saturday evening pre sented a very pretty sight as they arose above the house tops aud sailed off in a northeasterly direction ascend ing higher aud higher until when last visible as a mere speck in the sky they were several thousand feet above the earth. The wind was a little too high and the balloons careened very badly, at times threatening to turn upside dowu. It caused a disaster to the first oue sent up, which just before passing out of sight caught fire aud burned. A card was fastened to each balloon stating where it was sent up and ask ing the finder to mail a postal to the Y. M. C. A. telling where it dropped to the earth. Last summer one of these balloons drifted a distance ol eleven miles. Was Bigger Carp Ever Caught. Charles Hartman yesterday morn ing polled a monster carp out of the Susquehanna near the mouth of Mah oning creek. The fish was thirty and a half inches long and weighed thirteen and a half pounds. Mr. Hartman had a good deal of difficulty in landing the big fish and says that the feat was not accomplish eil in less than half an hour. It came very near getting away. This sounds like a pretty big fish story, but Mr. Hartman confirmed it yesterday with the fish itself, which he brought along to town. The big carp was weighed by S. M. Diet/, of the Gleudower House and viewed by a large number of people during the day.it is doubtful wheth er a larger fish was ever pulled out of the river hereabouts.

"*~* A MILL MAN'S BAD FALL A scaffold some eighteen feet high gave way at the Reading Iron Works Monday precipitating a workman headfirst into a pile of iron. A broken leg and injuries about the bead were the result. A new blast pipe was being install ed overhead. Supported on a scaffold 18 or 20 feet above the ground, about 11 o'clock ill the forenoon Daniel Eyerly.a boilermaker, was working on the pipe when one of the timbers sup porting the plauk on which he stood gave way and man and scaffold drop ped to the ground, falling upon a pile of scrap iron. Eyerly started on his descent feet downward, but he struck a beam forming the framework of the mill, which caused his body to turn and he landed upou his head among the mass of rough and jagged iron. He was rendered insensible by the fall although he was not long in re gaining consciousness. He had sus tained a gash upon his head and a fracture of the left limb. He was placed upon a stretcher and carried to his home on Centre street. Dr. P. C. Newhaker responded to a call, who assisted by Dr. S. Y. Thomp son set the fractured bone, sewed up the gash upon the head and gave the man such other attention as lie requir ed. The fracture is on the left thigh about midway between the hip and knee and is the worst of the several injuries sustained. In addition to the gash upou the head the scalp is badly contused at several spots, but the doctors do not think the skull is injur ed. The left wrist is badly bruised but this is not considered serious. Bad as the man was injured, con sidering the nature of his fall he was fortunate. That he was not fatally hurt was remarkable. Arrested for Car Jumping. Three young men handcuffed togeth er iu the custody of two special P. & R. police were led to the office of Justice of the Peace Bare Tuesday afternoon to answer rhe charge of il legal car riding. They were young fellows of sixteen or eighteen ears of age and gave their names as Joseph Minzer, Clareuce Eckert and William Payne. The special officers stated that the boys were arrested at Mausdale while riding into town on a freight train. They explained the extent to which illegal car riding is carried and the fearful risks taken daily by this class of boys. The other day the officers found twenty-five ou one train. It is no easy matter to affect an arrest of the car jumpers, as they are constant ly ou the alert and ready to jump off at the first appearance of the officers. There were seven in the crowd yester day and all escaped hut the thiee above named. The train was running at the rate of thirty miles an hour but this did no deter the car jumpers, four of whom took the risks and jumped. As was to be expected they were badly knocked about—on alighting thrown from their feet and tossed about like balls. That one or more did not roll under the train was owing wholly to good luck. Each of the boys escaped going to jail. William Payne's father came to his rescue and in the case of the others arrangements were made whereby the demands of justice will be satisfied. The railroad company is determined that illegal car riding must cease and the officers will give this class of of fenders little rest. The unfortunate part ot it is that tlio parents, the in nocent parties,are the ones upon whom the burden of punishment falls, al though there are probably few who would not rather suffer in this way, if an airest would cause their boy's re form, than to have him fall under the cars aud meet with his death or suffer the loss of a limb.
