WILL CAUL I'llß In pursuance of an act authorizing and requiring the County Commis sioners of each county in the State to appoint a sutlicieut number of suitable peisons ill each township and ward of their county at the expense of the county.to look after.bury and provide j a headstone for the body of any honor- ; nldy discharged soldier, sailor or marine, who served in the army or navy of the United States during the war of the late rebellion or during any preceding or succeeding war, leaving insufficient means to defray the neces sary burial expenses, the Montour County Commissioners have recently ! appointed the following revised list of the Soldiers' burial committee: Anthony Township—Patrick Dennen. Cooper Township—Henry Wortman. Danville, Ist Ward—William Hod dens. Danville, 2nd Ward—Daniel Fetter man. Danville,3rd Ward—John (4. Thomp son. Danville, 4th Ward—Charles Pnsoy. Dorrv Township—Hon. Alex. Bill meyer. Liberty Township—John Boudenian. Limestone Township—D. F. Gouger. Mahoning Township—A. C. Angle. Mavherry Township—James Brotee. Valley Township—William Curry. Washingtonvi lie Borough—Hudson Leidy. West Hemlock Township—C. L. Slinltz. The County Commissioners have al ready provided for the burial of near ly titty veterans. Throughout the State this aid toward tho burial ex penses of needy soldiers has been of great benefit. Formerly the Commissioners were allowed to pay toward the burial ex penses £:ir> exclusive of the headstone, but an amendment to the act made by the Legislature of 1 makes it pos sible for the Commissioners to allow j ssl) for the burial, exclusive of tho price of the headstone. Summer Hotel at Lithia Springs. H. B. Smith, of Sunburv.and W. C. MeConnell, of Shamokin, have pur chased the old Horton property.known as Johnson's mill, fiotu Stannert & Kline for the sum of S7OOO. This farm consists of over seventy acres, most of which is woodland, and extends from Johnsou's Hun on the Danville road near Northumbeiland up the hollow, where it joins the land of the Tucfea lioc Mineral Spring Company. The intention of these gentlemen is to er> ct a summer hotel near the Springs. The creek will also be dam med so as to obtain power to run an electiic plant. An .electric railway will then he built from Northumber land to the Springs,a distance of three miles,thus making a summer resort of this lovely spot easy of access. The sale of the Lithia water is to be widely advertised and the company expect to have largely increased sales from new and more progressive meth ods. Il has not been decided as yet as to the size of the hotel to be erected, as the first efforts will be made in re gard- to tho construction of the dam and the building of the electric road. The company is composed of George H. Gibson and Harry Smith, of Suu huty; Col. W. C. MeConnell, of Sha mokin, and Mr. Brown, of Milton. Lithia Springs is situated about seven miles from this city. Tho Springs are in a wood and it is a fine location for a summer hotel. The ven ture will doubtless bo a success in every way. Killed at Berwick. Thomas Attinger an employe of tho American Car and Foundry Company at Berwick, met with an untimely death while at work Tuesday after noon. Attinger was employed as a shipper in the blacksmith shop. A huge crane was swinging from one side of the shop to the other when it broke, one end striking Attinger on the breast. Ho was badly crushed and one of the main arteries severed. Dr. Pfabler who was hastily summoned, ordered the injured man taken to his hoarding house. Before reaching there ho died. Attinger was .'!H years of ago anil resided in Northumberland. He is survived by his wife and throe daugh ters. He had been employed in Ber wick for the past two months. School Teachers Elected. At a recent meeting of the School Directors of Derry township Miss Mabel Kdbiuson was elected teacher of the Derry school. Mrs. George Hod dens who taught last year at Washing tonvilh- was given the school at Port ers,while Miss Anna Lowrio the form er teacher at Porters was transferred to the Strawberry Kidge school. Miss Kuphemia Bloc will teach at Bleo's school house vice Amandiis Shullz re signed. Miss May Love has beoneloct e t teacher of the Brittaiu school. Clyde Hoddens of Washingtonville, who taught at Mooreshurg last year has been elected teacher of Moser's school. Several townships have va ianeies this season and changes of teachers throughout the county are likely to be the rule. M ihoning township has re-elected all its old teachers with the exception of Hal I Top. Mis, Margaret Madden will again bo principal of the M » cliarticsvi Ile school July seems disposed to make a rain record Tilll 1:1: NEW MAIL ROUTKS Three petitions for rnral free de livery will bo handed into tho Post Office Department about August Ist. The signers ask for routes to ho estab lished loading from the Danville I'tist Ollice, one of them in the direction of llowellville. another to cover the soc tion including a jiortion of Hush town ship and anothei to cover Mahoning township, cast and southeast of the State Hospital. Some people living in the rural districts are slow to realize the ad vantages of this service and hesitate, when asked to pledge themselves to put up a mail hox and support the measure. Under a recent ruling of the post oflico department it is necessary that every petition for rural free de livery should have at least 100 signer and that no such service shall he established unless this number ol boxes he installed. The routes asked for lie through a thickly populated fanning community and are fully as necessary as those already established in this see tion. It should he the duty of every body living along these routes to sign tho petition and put up boxes. The four routes now leading from Danville have over liOO boxes on the list and a total of 800 patrons. The car riers put out from 10,000 to 1:5,000 pieces of mail every month and each month the volume of mail is gradual ly getting larger. It is to be hoped that the routes petitioned for will be established. It will put country and town in closer touch. Unfavorable for Piouics. The picnic season of 15KM will not go on record as a great success. The cold and rainy weather of June and July had a dampening effect upon this kind of pleasure and has caused many post ponements and disappointments. Dr. A. T. DeWitt, proprietor of De- Witt's Hark, stated yesterday that tin month of June had been heavily book- , ed, but that many picnics had been call ed off on account of the weather. He said,however,that many of these part- | ies had asked for dates in August and that- from all appearances August would break the monthly record for ! this popular resort. The picnics booked for August are j mainly private affairs, some of them coining from near-by towns. The hal ance of July takes in many church pic nics and should good weather prevail DeWitt's Park will be a mecca for pleasure seekers for some weeks to come. Quite a number of applications have been made for the park on Labor Day. The Labor Day picnics are usually large and successful affairs. Funeral of William Saluiou. The funeral of William Salmon,who died in Berwick on Thursday,was held from the home of his brother, Harry G. Salmon, Bloom street. Sunday afternoon. The Kev. Dr. McCormaek of the drove Presbyterian church offi ciated. The pall bearers were selected from the Pattern Makers League of Berwick, of which the deceased was a member. About twenty members of the League were in attendance. Tie high esteem iii which this young man was held was attested by tho many magnificent floral offerings. The pat tern makers of Berwick, sent a shield of flowers. The employes of the Dan ville Stove Works sent a large pillow of flowers. Many friends also sent floral ollerings. Interment was made in l''airview cemetery. Among those who attended the fun eral from a distance were: Mr. and Mrs. William G. Fisher and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fisher of Catawissa.M r. and Mrs. S. Bachinan of Bloomshurg, John Scott of Lime Kidge,George Loli man of Berwick and Miss Elizabeth Salmon of Wilktsbarre. Extensive Improvements. Extensive improvements have recent ly been made at the Danville Suspen der factory on Pine street. Now ma chines have been installed and a num ber of additional hands are now em ployed. In order to make room for the now machines the water motoi was removed to the basement. A large furnace for heating purposes wa also recently placed in the building The Danville Suspender factory though a small industry,is a most suc cessful one. The suspenders made here are in great demand and with the exception of a week between each sea son tho plant is never idle. Julius Heim the senior member of the lirni has always had the interest of his em ployes at heart and his factory is a model of comfort and cleanliness. Funeral Largely Attended.

This position comes to Mr. Thomas as a well-deserved promotion and is one that ho will till in a most capable manner. Mr. Thomas has boon a resident of Danville for 17 years and has been as sociated \yith the Montour mills in this city during the entire period. His first position was that of a clerk with the Montour Iron and Steel Company. He filled various positions about the otHco and was later made sales-agent for the company. When the Reading Iron Company purchased the plant Mr. Thomas was retained as sales-agent and made assist ant superintendent of the Danville plant. Upon the resignation of Mr. Patterson two years ago Mr. Thomas was promoted to the suporinteudency. Though Danville will lose a good citizen everybody will be glad to hear of Mr. Thomas' promotion. The em ploye* of the mill though loath to see him go are pleased to know that he is to have a higher position. He has al ways treated them welt and was at all times ready to adjust a grievance. Labor troubles were few during his superintendency and those that did oc cur were of short duration. After the big fire several years ago, when most of the plant was destroyed Mr. Thomas was unceasing in his efforts to care for his employes and as soon as possible hastened the rebuilding of the mill. Mr. Thomas will be succeeded by Charles li. Pry.son, who arrived in this city from Pittsburg on Monday evening. Mr. Brysoti is a man of long experience in the iron business. He will be associated with Mr. Thomas at the mill until August Ist, after which he will assume the duties of his oftico. The following official notice was re ceived at the Danville mills of the Reading Iron Company yesterday. READING, PA., July 20, P.KM.

First Open Air Meeting. The first open air meeting of the season, under auspices of the Y. M (,'. A. was held Sunday afternoon, at the eastern end of Mahoning street, with a large attendance,all the benches and available seating space being oc cupied by men, women ami children, who gave respectful attention to the gospel message and to the hearty sing ing that was rendered by those pres ent at the meeting. The address was made by Mr. Laumaster, General Sec retary, and was a simple presentation of the gospel, which was received in the very kindliest spirit, and from in dications, those who heard the address, wore deeply impressed with the neces sity of hi coming Christians and living a pure life. Mrs. J. 11. Johnson and Mr. Lau master sang a duett, and tracts were distributed through the audience. Thus by giving the gospel message and sing ing gospel hymns and distributing tracts, it is hoped that good may he accomplished from time to time. Next Sunday there will he special singing by a male quartette. The leader of the meeting will be announced later. These meetings will be continued un til cool weather sets in and will be held every Sunday afternoon at :30 o'clock. Petitions Ifor Fish Ways. Petitions fot the maintenance of fish-ways in the dams of the Pennsyl vania rivers, to be sent to W. E. Median, Fish Commissioner at Harris burg, are being circulated among our citizens. The petition is sent out by Hon. Benj. K. Foclit and is being readily signed. The petition reads as follows: To \V. E. Median, Esq., Fish Com missioner, Harrisburg, Pa. : "We, the undersigned citizens of the State of Pennsylvania, respectfully re quest the Fish Department of the Com monwealth to place in the dams of our rivers ample fish ways to admit of the passing of shad and other valuable food game fish from the bays to the inland waters. Believing that nothing will better conduce to the restoration of fish in our rivers and streams than the opportunity for unobstructed migration, we urge that the depart ment set about to as speedily as possi ble accomplish this purpose." Six of these petitions have been cir culated in this city. First Annual Picnic. The Susquehanna District Associa tion, of the <>. C. A. M., will hold their first annual picnic at Edgmvood Park, Shamokin, Pa., July 25, P.HW. Delegations will b< present from Sha mokin, Blooinshurg, Danville, Cata wissa, Sunhury, Wapwallopen, Cen tral, Elimsport, Williampsort and other places. Edgcwood Park, with its varied attractions and elegant ap pointments is an ideal place tor a day's outing. (STAR COURSE ENTERTAINMENTS An attractive prospectus will tie i sued by the management of the Y. M C. A. Star Course in a few days giv ing a full description of the five ex cellent attractions which have been hooked to appear bern next -••hsoii. The Y. M. C. A. course has improv ed from year to year and considering the low price of tickets, no city can boast of better attractions. It has been customary heretofore to have the 'big' number open the course. This policy has been changed thi- year, the most expensive attraction being the third number on the list,and is booked to ap pear hereon Friday evening, Jan. ~l»th For Hiis night the Boston Ladies' Symphony Orchestra has been secured. The organization numbeis 20members and is conducted by Prof. Frank Mc Kee, a well known leader. A number of good soloists will be heard in this concert and the program rendered will include both classical and popular selections. It should not be inferred, however, that the opening attraction will be anything but the best. "Roney's Boys" have been secured for the in itial number appearing here Friday evening, November 27th. These boys have a national reputation and make good everywhere. Their program i made up of both vocal and instrument al music. The second entertainment of the course is booked for December 11th, and will be given by Spillman Riggs, the well-known humorous lecturer and musical impersonator. His entertain ment has a fascination that charms and will be a pleasant diversion to the ordinary lecture. On February 2*>th,Thomas McClary, another noted lecturer will entertain the course patrons. He is highly re commended and is said to have the hutuor of an Artemus Ward combined with the rare oratory and learning of a Wendell Phillips. • The fifth and last number of the course will be given on March lltli, by the Wesleyan Male (Quartette, as sisted bv Miss Juanita Boynton, a reader and accompanist. The amuse ment going public of Danville know this attraction so well that further comment is unneccessary. This num ber alone will be worth the price of a course ticket. The Committee is to lx» congratulat ed on its choice of entertainments. Every number will give satisfaction. Williamsport Cancelled Game. Manager S. A. McCoy of the Dan ville base ball club was notified by the Williamsport team last evening, that the game scheduled to take place in Williamsport on Saturday would have to be called off. No reason was given tor the cancellation but it was noticed in the Williamsport papers last evening, that the team from that city would play at Wilmington, Del., the balance of the week. This method of doing business has angered the Dan ville boys very much. They could have had a choice of games either at home or out of town and as they had given Williamsport the preference they expected the contract to bold good. Manager McCoy, after much diffi culty succeeded in arranging a game with the Sunhury team to be played hero on Saturday. This club has been recently organized and is made up of good players. Thoy defeated the strong Watsontown nine a few days ago. Struck by Bail at Indian Festival. A. R. Faux, of the St. Charles hotel, is viewing the beauties of nature today through a pair of colored glasses, owing to one of his eyes having the same eolor as the goggles—as black as the ace of spades. Last night A 1 was an interested spectator at the Indian festival. He had seen about all that was worth seeing, and had started for die house with the intention of going to bed. But his plans were suddenly interfered with. He reachd the "One baby, one cigar!" stand just in time to stop a hard ball which someone had thrown with great force at the row of rag babies. The thrower missed the target aimed at. hut found another in Al's eye. The latter was staggered by the force of the blow and would have fallen to the ground had he not suc ceeded in throwing his arms around a friendly post. The face surrounding the eye was painfully bruised and lacerated, but the sight, it is thought, escaped injury.—Williamsport News. Pay for Company F. Tho members of Co. F, 12th, Reg't., will receive their encampment pay at the Armory this evening at 7:3«> o'clock. Captain .1. Beaver Gearhart will distribute s'.i:Jo.4Kamong his men. The payment of this money so soon after the encampment is a source of great satisfaction to the soldiers as in former years it usually took a week or ten days to make up the pay roll. The men will not be paid in full unless the bats, duck uniforms, blue flannel shirts and all Company equipment are handed in. This is a compulsory mea sure. The weekly drills w ill be discontinu ed during the heated term and will not be resumed until so ordered by the Captain. Both officers and men are pleased with the general showing made by the Company at Mt. Gretna.
