The Odd Fellows of Danville will hold their annual basket picnic at De- Witt's Paik oil Wednesday, the 12th l list. The Odd Fellows' picnic, which took place at DeWitt's Park on July 80th, last year was one of the largest and most successful events held at that populat resort. All the arrangements this year are made on a large scale and there is little doubt but that the picnic this season will duplicate that of last, not only in point of numbers, but in all its pleasant fraternal feat ures As they did last year the merch ants tins year will close their places of business during the afternoon. Refreshments will be served on the grounds and baskets will be taken to and from the park free. All Odd Fel lows and their friends are cordially invited to attend the picnic. Work on Bridge Suspended. A rise in Mahoning creek incidental to the late tain has caused a suspen sion of work at the D. L. W. bridge near the Heading Iron Works. Everything was ready for the erec tion of a coffer dam to shut out the water from the eastern abutment when the lise occurred. The work can not proceed until the creek falls, when the coffer dam, the frame work of which is now about completed, w ill be park - ed with clay and the water pumped out from inside the enclosure. As soon as a dry bottom is secure I all the stone work of the abutment will he removed and the excavation be Mink to its full depth,twentv odd feet below ti e track to secure a solid foundation tor the concietc abutment. One of the fore men is autiio. i!\ fcrll.i statement that it will require six weeks to complete the work. Whist Tourney Last A duplicate whist tournament be tween Danville and Sunhury took place in this city last night. The Sunhury players, who came up on the ,'i 50 train, wore as follows: C. S.

The company just organized will build the road from Danville to South Danville and Riverside, expect ing to extend the line to Shamokin in I the very near future. This road with 1 the very probable extension of the Col ' umhia and Montour line from Blooms , Inirg to Danville will make a eontinu- I ous thread of street car lines from Serantoti to Shamokin, a distance of nearly one hundred miles and will he an important link in the giidling of the state by the street car. Work 011 the extension of the line from Berwick to Nanticnke will be commenced at onco ;•i• I:«■ is !i •-.••d that within a few nn.iths a pur i mi that road will be in operation.

The Berwick and Nuiiiioke com pany's tracks will start at the 1 5• • rw l . k terminus of the Columbia and Montour Electric Railroad and will b' the con necting link between that company's lines and the lines of the Wyoming \'all(*y Traction Company which gives a connection into New York State.

The building of a trolley line in Danville and vicinity is of the greatest importance as a connecting link. And as a factor in the transportation ser vice in this section of the state it has a prominence that cannot he overesti mated. The work of building the road will be commenced as soon as the necessary right of way is obtained. It is now almost a certainty that in a very few months the road will be in operation and the. people of this sec tion will he enjoying the privileges of a complete trolley system covering a distance of nearly one hundred miles ) Curbstone Market Begius Early. Those who wish to have th*\piek of produco brought into market must i arise early. Farmers begin to drive j into town shortly after 1 o'clock, he- j fore it is yet wholly light. By live i o'clock selling is in full blast and by j seven o'clock here and there a wagon j is sold out. By eight o'clock many ! farmers have already left the in irket and there is no longer much let! that j is desirable in any of the commodities on sale. There is some complaint among pat rons of the market on the scorn of early hours. It might he worth while to inquire, however, whether the townspeople arc not equally responsi ble with the tanner tor the unseason able hour at which selling begins. Ex cept at the very busiest season it can not be desirable for people living in the conntiy to arise long before day light and start on a tiresome drive to market and they would likely not do so if they did not find buyers waiting tor them Their interest demands that they place their products in competi tion at an hour when buying is the most brisk just as the patrons find it to their inteiest to turn out early in order to select the best. It is hardly likely that any reform will occur in this matter. The same causos which operate here are at work elsewhere and markets at an hour just as unseasonable as here seem to be the rule in all neighboring towns. A Wheelman's Close Oall. Thomas Hugholligaii while riding his wheel on the cycle path Monday afternoon took a header down over a steep embankment and but foi the fact thai lie was able to clutch some bushes he would have taken a nearly per pendicular drop of twenty-five feet. He was riding along without any thought of obstruction when ho was suddenly confronted with the unusual spectacle of a wagon on the path be fore hi in. The meeting took place nearly opposite the Fair Grounds where the cycle path is flanked with a steep embankment varying in height from eighteen to twenty-five feet. The path was narrow and the wheelman was pushed to the very brink, having a narrow strip not more, than eigh teen inches wide on which to paNs. When directly opposite the wagon lie, undertook to dismount, but was un able to keep his loot in the narrow space and went down over the bank. Five foot from the top he struck tome hushes, seizing which he was able to prevent himself from tailing any f'urth or. Below him the steep embankment extended some twenty feet further and hut for the friendly bushes he would no doubt have plunged to the bottom sustaining very serious injury.

TIIUI'SDAY AUUUST <i. HMKt. I<L THE IIKAII A very pathetic chapter of past his troy is recalled by the opening of two very old graves in the cemetery on Hlooui street yesterday for thn pur pose of removing Hie remains. For a number of years past while tlie* old burial ground lias been drifting into abandonment and decay the removal of bodies bus boon slowly in progress. Soveral years ago the remains of (ton oral William Montgomery and others ot bis kin were removed froiu the cemetery to a place of rest amid more sightly surroundings. It is perfectly fitting therefore that among others re moved should be Robert Carry, one ol' the very earliest pioneers of this sec tion, who was murdered by the Indians in I7KO. Tlio sad episode is a matter of his tory with which any school boy may become familiar. It occurred in the Summer of 17H0. The Indians were hostile and the whites were compelled to Hen to the forts for safety. Among the settlers of this section who bad taken refuge at Sunbury were Robert (' irry an 1 11 is wife. On the day of the i t y on horseback the young couple j we mil.in ; their way alone from the fort to o.ie ot the settlements near the Cinllt ><pri<iue. It was a hazardous I j mrnoy but they escaped molestation until they i. ached a point at present rccogai/.ed as l ie site of the school hoiiM' on the Northumberland road this side of Cameron, where they were attacked by Indians, who tomahawked and scalped Robert Curry and took his wife prisoner. The story of Mrs. Curry's thrilling escape Ins often been retold. The night after the murder the savages en camped in a ravine a mile or so north west of Mooresburg. Binding the wo man hand and foot with hickory bark they lay down to sleep. Mrs. Carry carried a small pair of scissors which she managed to get hold of in such a way that she was able to sever the bands which bound her and thus she made her escape. Rejoining her people she apprised them of what had taken place and led them to the spot where the body of her husband lay. The rem »ius were interred in the old cemetery on Bloom street and was one of the tir>t burials made there. In 1 s->"» Mrs. Curry, who lived to be an aged woman, was also laid in the old c -metery be-ide her husband. The graves were opene 1 yesterday tor the purpose ot removing the re mains to the new Presbyterian or Fair vit w cemetery. After the lapse of so many years but very little was found in the graves in the way of remains. In Robert Curry's tomb nothing re m lined but a few fragments ot wood, belonging to the coffin,now in the last stage ot decay. Suffering Ftoui Peculiar Accident. A peculiar ailment, which is puzzl ing the attending physicians, lias at tacked Jesse, the interesting seven year-old son <>* William Reed,the well known grain dealer ot Reed's Station. About two weeks ago the youth, while playing about the school house, met bis father, and in the best of spirits, jumped aboard the wagon and was -driven home. When the hoy at tempted t > alight he discovered that his lower limbs were peculiarly affect ed, l>" ing unable to alight from the vehicle. He was carried into the home, and upon investigation, his legs were dis covered badly swollen. After being placed in bed a physician was sum moned and he diagnosed the case as blood poisoning of a peculiar nature. Sometimes the swelling is in the low er limbs, then it moves to the arms and even tin* face.The swelling travels over different sections of the body and is trying tin; skill of the doctors. The youth cannot remember having come into contact with anything poisonous. His condition is quite ser ious. Dr. Renn, ot Sunbury, is at present triating the strangely afflicted boy. New Work at Hospital. It now begins to look as if summer would be over before work will bo be gun on any of the improvements at the Hospital for the Insane for which money was appropriated by tlio last Legislature. The plans are all perfected and ap proved by the trustees of the Institu tion, but until they are passed upon by the State Board of Public Charities proposals for the new work cannot he invited. At the present season it is j said to be difficult to get the Board of j Charities together and no one seems to have any idea when the necessary ac tion may he taken. The portion of the work which con cerns our municipality the most is the ' disposal of the Hospital sewage, which ! still pollutes the river. That this pol lution was considered <» gigantic evil is obvious enough ; otherwise the Leg ! islatuie would not have appropriated ! money to remedy it. It is unfortunate, ! therefore, that such long delay should , occur before the nuisance is abated. Entered U|»oii His Duties.

The famous scout and guide, Paw nee Bill, is going to bring his great Wild West Show Exhibition to our city tomorrow. Many new and start ling features are presented this season, in fact, and it is a fact that the show is twice its former size. Over a thous and people and horses are employed. The grand military review is par ticularly praiseworthy. The Juvenile Wild West Show for the children is a decided novelty. The entertainment gives one a glimpse of the world which a year's travel would not give. Mexican heroic life is seen, South American scenes are witnessed, the most strenuous phases of Russian lite are observed, and all their prominent features (ill the mind with wonder,admiration aud the fullest satisfaction The most at tractive object of the entertainment is the mysterious white buffalo which is held in reverential awe by the super stitious Red Man.

It is the intention ot the Camp to proceed at once with the completion of the hall. To help the project along the mem bers every evening assist at the ex cavation and expect to do the bulk ot the work themselves until the masons begin. Beautiful Grounds. The spacious grounds at Castle Grove as well as those at the Hospital for the Insane never presented a more beauti ful aud luxuriant appearance than at present due to the frequent rains of the season. The best of care combin ed with the efforts ot nature does the work. At either place everything is neat ly trimmed and clean. The deep green of the lawn and trees, the brilliancy of the flowers, the bine sky and the sparkling fountains all combine to pro duce a remarkably beautiful effect and looking up and down some of the lung vistas Is indeed like u glimpse into fairy land.
