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

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.

Superintendent David Thomas of the
Montour Rolling Mills Dep't of the
Reading Iron Works will on August
Ist leave Danville for Reading where
he has been appointed assistant to
President Smink of the Reading Iron
Company. 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.
Mr. David Thomas formerly Super
intendent of Montour Rolling Mills

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.
