I'AVK Mill STREET Unless all plans miscarry street pav ' log and the establishment ot a trolley ! will come to Danville at the same time and the date of the double im provement will be in the ileal future. Some action looking to the adoption ot the ordinance for paving at least as far as Mill street is concerned will in ail probability lie taken at the next meeting ot ('ouneil Amos Vastine, president of Council, Saturday stated that the members are practically to- I gether in the matter ot paving Mill -treet that by proceeding with the work I simultaneously with the building of i the street railway, which will pave nine feet, with what assistance comes from the property owners the Borough will have an opportunity of securing a much needed improvement at a com paratively small outlay of money. The franchise ordinance adopted by Coun cil aud now signed by the Burgess obliges the Danville and Riverside street railway company, whenever the Borough by proper ordinance resolves to pave its streets to lay a pavement of the same material lietween the rails and two feet in width on the outer side of each, while one-third of the street on each side will have to be paved by the owners of property on which it abuts The small portion ot the street left for the Borough to pave would hardly weigh as an item of ex pense in view of the benefits to be de rived from the whole. In the premises Council looks for no opposition from tax payers and feels that it would !>o showing a lack of good judgment and business enterprise if it did not proceed with the paving of Mill street, which embraces the business portion of the town Mr Vastine states that as soon as the Borough adopts an ordinance for >treet paving the Danville and River side Street Railway Coitiptny will proceed to lay its tracks on Mill street. (Jhurch Debt Wiped Out. The services in Shi lob Iteformod church Sunday were if an interest ing aud joyous character to the con gregation, from the tact that an old debt was wiped out This debt, amounting to six hundred and fifty dollars rested on the parsonage aud be cause it was not over burdensome, was permitted to stand, the congregation paying interest ou the same for a num ber of years. The pastor, Rev. G. E. Limbert. was anxious to have this re moved, and oil Sunday. Septem ber titli announced to the congregation that Sunday an effort would be made to raise this amount, urging the members to be present. A very large congregation was present, as a result of hi- announcement. After divine worship and an earnest, heart search ing talk to the members on their duty aud privilege in the matter,the pastor began receiving subscriptions. Using a portable black board which had been laid off in squares oi blocks, ranging from fifty dollars to one dollar, and i which represented the indebtedness he asked the members to subscribe. In lens than an hour over eight hundred dollars was raised. At the evening service, those not present in the morning were also giv en the piivilege of subscribing. Death of Mrs. Farusworth. Mrs Clarissa Farusworth, wife ot Miles Farnswoitli, Mahoning town ship, departed this life Sunday after a long illness. The deceased was a woman widely known and esteemed ami the news of her death will cause wide-spread sor row. A loving and devoted wife and mother,a kind and sympathizing friend and neighbor, her death leaves a place ' vacant at the fireside and in the com munity which will not soon be filled. | Mrs. Farusworth was titty years of age. She is survived by her husband and a son and a daughter; W (J. Farusworth, D L it W station agent at Shickshiuiiy, aud Mrs Edward Cashner who resides at Grovania (Juoler Weather OnUßg, Hie hot wave is still with us. Not withstanding that we were promised cooler weather there was no relief din ing yesterday Even during last even ing long after the sun had disappeared beat and humidity united to make humanity uncomfortable. While all classes suffered troin the heat, it was especially hard on the school children, w ho in many instances aie shut off from draughts of air aud required to work pretty diligently at their lessons Owing to the heat some ot the smaller pupils were dismissed a little earlier than usual yesteiday. The forecast predicts coolei weather for today With eighteen inches of snow in Wyoming, and people freez ing to death in Dakota, the present weather here is remarkable and a change would seem to he inevitable Bad Beys Keep Officers Busy. In the absence of older and worse offenders the small boys of town are giving the police nearly all they can do to keep things quiet during the cveuiug hours. Tuesday night Chief Minci inoyer was needed in the vicinity of the Third Ward school house and he made nine at rests. Last night he was called for at St Paul's M h church where the boys were so boisterous and dis orderly as to interfere with prayer meeting The young fellows alt escup ed arrest, although they may rest as suted that they will eventually fall into the hands ot the officer unless they uieud their ways SCHOOL HOARII _MEETING The principal business before the School Hoard Monday wns the pay ing nf hills. At this session the hills not only for repairs necessary, school hooks and kindred supplies, hut for the coal required to carry the schools through the year are presented for payment. The total paid out last night ran into a pretty big figure. The district, however, is not without the wherewithal to meet the demands, us is attested by Treasurer Sell ram's statement, which showed a cash bal ance on hand of $17,2:18.14. The fence between the Fourth Ward School grounds and the property of Joseph Breideubach was reported as badly in need of repairs. It was the sense of the Hoard that according to custom in the matter of line fences, tlie repair of only one-half could de volve on the Schorl Board and on mo tion it was ordered that the Building and Repair Committee proceed to have one-halt of the line fence rebuilt. Superintendent Gordy explained that upon the completion of t!i" an nex the room at present occupied hv Miss Miisselmaii will be vacated the plan is therefore to use it for ;i recita tion room,hut before it will be of ser vice it will have to In' refurnished. Superintendent CJordy recommended 1 chairs with arm rests, a-, cheaper and in every way preferable to desks such as formerly in use. He presented bids from several of the local dealers and j one Chicago firm. On chair No. | 5127 without rods as per catalogue the local dealers bid as follows: George ; W Koat, s:il per dozen; llenrie Bros, £;t:s; John Dosters' Sons, -f:!'.' On another chair which according . to catalogue seemed to be about the i same thing, Flanagan <V Company ot Chicago presented a hid of $22 On motion of Mr. Green it was <b>- | cided to order one chair of the Chi- ! i-ago firm as a sample with the under standing that it it tilled the bill, A. Flanagan <\r Co would receive the order, which calls for tluee do/en chairs. Mr Greene reported that there were no bids for the depot sehool,buildings and lot combined, but that there was one of tor the school building alone. <>n motion action in the mat ter was deterred until next meeting. The following directors were present last night: Keoter, Orth, Greene, Burns, Pursel, Harpcl, Werkheiser, VonHlohii and Byerly.

FOR STATION Work yesterday was begun at the i Pennsylvania Station, South Danville, ! 011 the vitrified brick pavement,which is to supplant the platform and gravel j walks on the railroad propeity. | At intervals for some time past the ' railroad company has been unloading ! material at the station for this im -1 provement, consisting of thirty-four thousand vitrified brick a large quant ify of stone for retaining wall and coping, and cinder, sand etc.,tor fill | ing up and tor ballast. The brick pavement will entirely < surround the station and extend from the western end of the platform to the watch box near the crossing. The ' ■ platform has done service tor a long j time and many of the planks are rot ten ; the gravel walk adjoining, while ! satisfactory enough during dry weatli -Icr in times of rain proves objection able to pedestrians who come and go at the station. The fine sweep of brick ! pavement, therefore, which will cover ' every foot of platform and gravel will add to the comfort of our citizens who travel on the Pennsylvania line and -et oil the depot to it very fine advant age. The Base Ball Seasor, From present indications it would seem that the base hall season so far as the "Old Timers" are concerned is virtually closed in Danville. During a corners it ion yesterday afternoon Manager Sam A. McCoy stated that while his club might play a game at Snnbury and at Berwick it did not seem probable that another game would he played in Danville this season. Remembering the losses sustained even in the games which ought to have drawn he does not foul encouraged to arrange for another game. It Danville could rely 011 a patronage such as was accorded to Eloomshurg Tuesday when our team crossed bats with Wilmington A. A he says it would pay to book almost any team no matter how expensive and take the risks. That the Danville Base Ball As sociation at tbe close of the season finds itself struggling with a defici ency is perhaps not owing wholly to any one cause. The fact is incontro vertible that there are in Danville a good many lovers of base ball w ho are willing to pay for seeing a good game. The Association did its best to cater to these by furnishing it number of first class attractions. Manager Mc- Coy admits that there was a great deal of hard luck about it and cites the large number of rainy days which kept down attendance, when the ex penses incurred were the heaviest. The Danville Base Ball Association has no reason to be ashamed of its record during the past season. Twenty four games 111 all were played and .al though their opponents included the Cuban Giants, All Cubans and other strong teams, yet their defeats were more than counterbalanced by brill iant playing and victories achieved. Line up of Toot Ball Team- The Danville High School Foot Ball Team has arranged a schedule of games for the coming season. The line up of the team will be as follows : Ed niondson, right end; Harman, right tackle; Slattery or Smith, right guard; Haver, centre; Thomas, left guard , Johnson, or Boycr, left tackle; Snyder, left end, Barber, quarter back , Walker, right half back ; Ed mondson, left half back; Peters, full back; C. W. Haver, Jr., Manager; Frank Eilmondsoii, Captain; Miles Barber, assistant Captain. Following is the schedule: Sept. 2(ith—Watsontown at Danville. Oct. 3rd—Danville at Shamokin. Oct. 10th—Shamokin at Danville. > Oct. 17rb—Danville at Bloomsburg Oct. '24 th Berwick at Danville. Oct. Hist Danville at Watsontown. Nov 7th Danville at Berwick. Nov. lltli Bloomsburg at. Danville. Nov. 21st and Nov. 2<ith,the last two dates, are open,although it is thought likely that both will betaken by Sun bury. Valuable Dogs Poisoned. The dog poisoner is abroad again, operating in the vicinity of Watei street. Seveial dogs ami incidentally a couple of cats have fallen victims to a mysterious dose within a few days past,. A favorite little fox terrier be longing to Mail Carrier Arthur Freeze was poisoned yesterday. The dog was well and playful in the morning and when Mi. Freeze returned home » few hours later he was in his death throes. Residents 111 that vicinity are very indignant over the outrage ami it the dog poisoner is detected he will un doubtedly pay pretty dearly tor his j caper. Last spring several valuable ] dogs were poisoned 10 the same local I it v. Last Year's Apples. William Fern of Mahoning township hiought a sample of apples into town 1 the othci dav, which belong to last year's crop They are iu an excellent state of nieservatioii without the least indication of decay and to all appear anc. might last for an indefinite time longer Mr !*'< rn says he buried the apples last fall, removing them from the ground last spiing, when they were placed in a barrel and stored aw av in a dry place. It certainly seems unique that last yeai s apples should he on hand after the present crop has matured. !

A gigantic scheme to bridle tbe Sus quehanna and to centralize the gener ating power of the electric light sys tems from Shamokin to Willianisport is being launched by the West Branch Electric, Company, incorporated under the laws of Now Jersey, with a capital stock of $1,000,000, and fathered by men of immense resources. While the scheme is gigantic in its proportions, yet it is claimed to be thoroughly practicable by those in terested. At Sunbury a central electric light plant will be erected and its power will be supplied by the Susque hanna river. The new company has secured option on more than twenty electric light plants and systems, including the two Shamokin companies. If the scheme is carried to a success ful issue, the cost of electric lights will be materially decreased, as the cost ol producing the current will be lessened by about 80 per cent., on ac count of the power to produce costing absolutely nothing. Iu the scheme wealthy men from all towns to be effected are interested. D. L. & W, Track Raised one Toot. The 1). L. vSL- W. railroad company is raising the track between Beaver street at the Stove Works aud a point it short distance east of Railroad street. The work is being done in connec tion with the repairs 011 the culvert which carries the track over Sechler's run. The new abutments of concrete have been placed under the culvert, while the track has been raised one foot The elevation of the track be tween the points named gives the railroad a uniform height and tenders flooding loss likely to occur in times of high water Heretofore with every heavy rain which caused a flood on Sechler's run a portion of the rail road was likolv to he submerged. ' Building Remodeled. H W. Kggert is remodeling the building on Canal street formerly oc cupied by the laundry into a dwell ing. It will In fitted up for two faiui , lies. Some ot our butchers are disposed to view the resolution adopted by the Board ot Health and endorsed by Council relative to the removal of the slaughter houses outside the Borough as a very unjust measure. One of the butchers who maintains the largest slaughter house of the lot voiced the sentiment of the others during a brief conversation with a representative of this Jpaper yes terday. Speaking for himself,lie said, the removal of his slaughter house would entail upon him an expense by no means justified by his business a! this day. He took the view that the Borough, if detennined that the res olution must be carried out, consist out with justice could do no less than bear wholly or in part the expense ot removing the slaughter bouses. His plant, with improvements, practically fireproof and equipped with costly re frigerator and ice house, he consid ers worth at least live thousand dol lars. He did not think there was a contractor who would undertake lt removal for less than one thousand dollars. Then came the impossibility of finding a convenient site outside the Borough to say nothing of the ex orbitant price that be might he ob liged to pay for it. The present site in the Borough, lie said, has been occupied by slaughter houses for forty years. The present building alone has stood there for thirty years. Under proper regula tions, he held, the slaughter houses are not a menace to public health and that there was not a case of disease which could be traced to them. In asmuch as the Borough sells the butch ers water he can not understand why slaughter houses will not be permitt ed to connect with the now sewer, which, it is plaiu, would solve the whole difficulty. The Board of Health last Spring adopted a resolution ordering the butchers to remove the slaughter houses outside the borough limits within sixty days after June Ist. The latter failing to comply the Board ot Health held another meeting 011 Aug. 2ti atul adopted a resolution to the effect that unless the order was com plied with and slaughter houses im mediately removed legal proceeding* would be instituted to abate the nui ance. This resolution was endorsed by Council at its last meeting 011 the 4th inst. Nearly two weeks have passed and the butchers have taken 110 action looking to a removal. What action Council will take next in dealing with the question remains to be seen. Extracting Goal From the River. X. P. LeDuc is conitructing a large flat boat to be used in connection with his coal digger in extracting coal from the Susquehanna. The coal digger has been idle for a few days, but as soon as the flat boat is completed Mr. LeDuc will start down the river 011 another cruise. The flat boat, into which the coal will be loaded as fast, as raised from the river, will take the place of two small boats, previously used for this purpose. The small boats, which held only a few tons, retarded the work very much owing to the time lost in frequent trips ashore tor the purpose of unloading. The new flat boat will hold all the coal that can be gathered 111 one day, so that full time can be putin iu the actual work of digging. Mr. LeDuc has already extracted up wards ot two hundred tons of river coal. This is much more than he needs for use at his green houses and he is selling the excess. Among the concerns which are being supplied by Mr. LeDuc are the Water Works and Danville Milling Company's plant. River coal is sure of a steady demand among our industries, the Structural Tubing* Works, auioug others con suming large quantities. The coal over and above what Mr. LeDuc can supply is shipped from Sll nbury Harvest Home Service. The harvest home or annual service of Thanksgiving was held at Trinity Lutheran church Sunday. The au ditorium was very tastefully decorat ed with the various products ot the soil and presented a very attractive appearance. Special music was rendered by the choir while Rev. L. D Ulrich,pastor, delivered a very appropriate sermon founded upon St. John, Fourth chapter and thirty-fifth and thirty-sixth verses: "Say not ye there are four mouths ami then couieth harvest. Hi hold 1 say unto you lift up your eyes and look 011 the fields, for they arc white already to the harvest "And lie that rcapeth receivefh wages and gatbereth fruit unto lite eternal that both he that sowetli and he that reapeth may rejoice together Sowing Wheat.
