Soldier Takes a Bride. A very interesting wedding took pi ico in this city yesterday, the bride being Miss Jennie Hawkey, and the groom John Martin, a young soldier who recently returned from the Philij - pines. The marriage was solemnized in St. Joseph's Catholic church at 7 o'clock yesterday morning, Uev. Father M. I. O'Reilly officiating.

Mr. and Mrs. j Martin will live in Danville. The groom is a young man ot this city who enlisted in Williamsport some '.i years ago as a member of First j Cavalry,L, Troop. He served two years and nine months in the Philippines, his enlistment expiring on May 30th | last. Injured by Blow on Head. Thomas Lee,employed as blacksmith at Howe <V Samuel's puddle mill, was painfully injured by a blow on the head Monday morning. In walking across the mill In* passed out; of the puddlers «vho was taking cinder from his furnane The puddlcr did not see Lee, and the latter was struck along sifle the head near the temple by the heavy iron handle as the buggy was being dumped. He was felled to the ground under the force of the blow. Although very much stunned he did not lose eon seiou-moss. 'I he skin was not broken, but the bruise inflicted was severe and as a result after a few minutes the man was seized with naus a and vom ited freely. He wast ikon to his home 1 oil Nicholas A venue,where I> r. rhonip sfin is attending him. i 112 Invitations will he issued in a few flays toi the annual Th oik -giving eve - assembly of the Americus t'lub, Sun THE IIIIMCII In conversation Saturday with Fre«- ident of Council Amos Vastiue a rep resentative of the American was informed of a very important improve ment that the Reading Iron Company has decided upon which will affect the lower end of the hotough. The tract of unoccupied land known | as the "meadow." periodically over flowed and containing the channel of Mahoning creek, which i.s making ser ioiiH inroads on the bank at West Mah oning street until that thoroughfare is no longer of legal width,has for years past proven a very difficult problem for the Borough Council. For the ben efit of mill employes who live in the lower end of the Borough it has been urged that Chestnut street should be openod up to Northumberland street. This seeming impracticable under ex isting conditions,to provide a thorough fate passable at all times President Vastiue at a meeting of Council some time ago proposed that one of the can al bridges soon to be displaced by i stone culverts bo removed to Mahon- j ing Creek at a point opposite the Heading Iron Works. 111 the furtherance of his plans Pros- i ident Vastiue during the last few . days paid a visit to the Readiug Iroa Company and there learned that in j carrying out its own general policy of improvement the company has decid- j od to take huld of the matter in a way which promises to remedy the evils complained of and relieve the Borough of all responsibility. During the* next decade or so all the land lying between the present tip and West Mahoning street will he needed by the company as a damping ground for its constantly accumulating cin der. Of no use at present, the area of low ground when tilled up and graded with the level of West Mahoning street might h ivo a practical value as build ing lots. Uno of the first things to he done by the company will bo to straighten Mahoning Creek diverting it from its present bed where it is encroaching upon West Mahoning street into an artilieial channel rut along the base of cinder tip. In connection with this work a trest ling will be built across the meadow oil which the cindoi will be brought over to tin* south side. Thus not only will the creek in its present form he got rid of but in pro cess of time all that part of the mea dow will be tilled up and reclaimed, ft will probably not be many years before a row of dwellings will line West Mahoning street at that point and Chestnut street will he extended across to Northumberland street. Attempt to Destioy a Family. A fiendish attempt to destroy the family and dwelling of Jacob KLtrsh between Mooresburg and Milton was made at an early hour Sunday morn ing. The Klarsli family live in a log house on the old Robinson farm. The building lias been recently weather boarded. At 1:30 o'clock a daughter of Mr. Klarsli was awakened by a fierce glaring light caused by flames that shot past the window of the second story. An investigation show ed that a large bundle of straw rated with kerosene had been placed in an upright position against the house ami then tired. Mr. Klarsli was successful in removing the burning bundle of straw,but not until half the boards had been burned almost through Had the lire been undiscovered for several minutes longer tin* building and occupants would no doubt have been consumed. The authorities have obtained important clues and several arrests are expected to follow within the next twenty-four hours. Mrs. (Jrawford Laid to Rest. Mrs. Ella Crawford,whose death oc curred in Philadelphia Sunday, was consigned to her last resting place in the cemetery at Muncy yesterday. The services were conducted at the homo of Hon Alexander Billuieyer, father of the deceased, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, Rev. Owen Reber, of Washingtonvilie, officiating.

THI'IISDAY NOVUM liKK 5. IJMKJ. COOl) ROADS LAW MISUNDERSTOOD At the direction of the County Com missioners the County Surveyor this week will make a survey of the public highway between Danville and Maus dalo preparatory to petitioning the State Highway department tor state aid in toad construction. The survey is made iu compliance with section 3rd of the Spioul Good Roads Law,which provides that wher ever the County Commissioners of any county shall represent by petition to the State Highway Department that any principal highway in said county outside of the corporate limits of any city or borough is not in a satisfactory coilditon for comfortable or economical travel and ought to be reconstructed under the provisions of this act and shall furnish the said department an accurate plan of tlie lay out linos,pro file and established grade of such high way it shall be the duty of the State Highway Commissioner to examine such highway or instruct one of his assistants so to do and if in the judg ment of the State Highway Commis sioner said representation is well founded ho shall determine what changes shall be made iu said existing highway, what portion of it should be improved and in what manner and shall prepare accurate plans and make careful detailed estimates of the ex pense of the work and report the same to the County Commissioners and the supervisors of the township or town ships in which the said highway may lie. Application for State aid in recon structing the highway between this city and Mausdale was niado last spring but by an oversight the very essential detail of a survey was omit ted which left the application without the plan ot layout lines, profile, and established grade required by the act. Now that the supervisors have pretty generally returned the number of miles of township roads and the state aid available is now ready to bo ap portioned among the several counties according to the road mileage our Commissioners have decided to tcnow their application complying with the act in the matter of survey to tho end that they may be among the fiist to receive assistance in road building. Gbviounly there is little time to lose, | as tho a< t provides that if the appro priation apportioned shall not be ap plied for a period ot two years alter it has become available, the amount so apportioned and set aside by that county shall be returned to tho state treasury and added to tho apropt iation for thu current year and distrhuted anew. Many of the provisions of the Good roads law are misunderstood. Not a few of tho Supervisors having return ed their road mileage are under the impression that each county ot the state will have a lump sum placed in its hands, representing its portion of the appropriation to be distributed among the townships and spent ill road improvement. The truth is that State aid can be obtained only by complying with the conditions as set forth in section 3rd. It the County Commissioners and township Supervisors decide that it is advisable togo on with tho work the State Highway Department may, if the funds at its disposal permit of so doing,contract jointly with the Coun ty aud township to carry out the rec ommendations of the State Highway Commissioner, the cost of tho same including surveys, grading, material, construction, f!fcc.,to be borne in sixty six aud two-thirds per centum by tho State, sixteen and two-thirds per cent um by tho county aud sixteen and two thirds per centum by the township. Over 23 Years in the Army. Joseph Kemmer, a brother of form er Councilman Albert Kemmer, is a soldier of long service and of several wars. He is now enjoying a four month's furlough aud arrived in this city yesterday afternoon for a vi-dt with his brother and his father. Mr. Kemmer is Corporal of Rand of tho Second Regiment of Infantry sta tiouod at Fort D. A. Russell, iu Wy oming, about three miles from Chey enne. Ho enlisted in the regular army October 11, 1880, and intends to serve out the full thirty years. Previous to tho breaking out of tho war with Spain ho saw service in In dian warfare and was stationed at Fort Keogli, Montana. During the war with Spain he was in Cuba aud fought at the Hattlo of Santiago. Fol lowing tho war he did garrison duty at Cien Fuegoes for fifteen months. Ho also saw sorvico in the Philip pines, serving there for two years and eight mouths. The time spent in for eign service counts double,so that Mr. Kemmer ha~ but IC years yet t•» serve before he has rounded out thirty years in Uncle Sam's seivico. Sending out its Last (Jail. The state highway department is ttbou t to send out its third and last call to county commissioners all over the stato for leports of road mileage in their respective counties. Under the law these reports must ho furnish ed tho commissioner, and il the re quest foi- them is unheeded the depart ment can proceed against the delin fjuents and compel them to fumi-di the informal ion.

I ' THE COMMERCIAL That the School Board made no mis take in adding .a Commercial Course to the curriculum of the High School is most satisfactorily demonstrated after a short experiment oft wo months. Although the work was necessarily much handicapped for tho want of space during the first month of school yet the results are all that could bo desired. If any of the patrons of the High School will take the trouble to visit the Commercial department tlioy will be impressed with three things—tho thoroughness and comprehensiveness of the work, the excellent discipline and the interest in the studies mani fested by the pupils. It is true, it is a sort of a novelty to hear the click of the typewriter and see the usual par aphernalia ot the business college in the public school room, but the in novation is made imperative by the progress of the times in order to give our boys aud girls a practical educa tion that will fit them for the great struggle of life upon which they are so soou to enter. Seventy-six pupils have taken up tho Commercial Course. These at differ ent periods of the day pass through Professor Horner's hands, receiving a thorough drill in business forms and book-keeping, short hand and type writing,business correspondence, busi ness practice aud banking. Imitation money is used and none of the details of actual business are omitted. The boys aud girls take great pride iu their work. While the latter must be accurate to a degree to pass muster, it is also as a rule neat aud a model of painstaking care. Professor Horner impresses one as thoroughly master of the situation. The introduction ot the new depart ment has uot been permitted to de moralize tho discipline in tho least. Nothing more could b5 desired on tho part of tho school to reflect a proper degreo of confidence in the teacher and respect for his authority. The students of the course find the typewriting drill especially exacting. The "touch" method is employed and no one is permitted to use the sight for a moment-. Poor progress is made at first, but the foundation muse be laid rightly aud speed is not a factor at tho beginning of the course. In an apartment alone four students at a time are kept at practice. At the ex piration of forty minutes they are re lieved and the machines are occupied by others. Thus it goes on during the day until all the students in the Soph omore, Junior and Senior years have had their periods of practice. Danville by adopting the Commerci al Course has placed its< If iu the front tanks of wideawake progressive towns. Shaiuokiu is the nearest district that has a Commercial Course. Willianis poit, Wilkesbarre, Scranton, Harris burg, Reading, Norristowu and York are some of the other towns which have adopted a Commercial Course. Leaves on the Rails. Tho worst season of the year for tho railroads having mountainous grades to cliiub is now being experienced by the men in the service. Many trains aie delayed by the falling leaves which cover tho tracks and under the weight of tho pony truck cover the rails with sail, interfering with the adhesion of the diivers. They have been known to interfere with the working of the air brakes, causing the wheels of cars t o slide and become flattened iu spots. KSTAJiIJSIIKJ) IN 1855 REFORMATION SERVICES The anniversary of the Reformation was celebrated at Trinity Lutheran church Sunday. A sermon appro priate to the occasion was preached by the Rev. L. I). Ulricli,pastor, in the morning. It was founded upon Judges, 1 7th chapter, 20th verse: "And the three companies blew the trumpets and brake the pitchers and held tho lamps in their left hands and the ; trumpets iu their right hands to blow j withal and they cried: 'The Sword |of tlioLord and of Gideon.'" The spoaker drew apicturo of Israel in the days of its bondage aud com pared that people to the Christian Church in tho Middle Ages under papal Rome. Tho Christian Church in all ages has been under bondage to ! some extent. Tho sermon wove in a great deal of history about tho time of the middle ages showing how the peo ple wore deprived of the privileges of the Gospel and were made to dwell in spiritual darkness. The deliverance of Israel, was com pared to the deliverance of the Church : from the Roman yoke. The methods employed in each case were similar. Gideon represented Luther and Gide on's 300 soldiers Luther's co-laborers. The torches and pitchers, the speaker said, represented the Bible, which then, as it were, was hidden under a pile of rubbish. Our characters are the lamps lighted by God's grace and shining for men,in the Christian war fare ; the trumpets are the mouths of those who praise God,while the pitch ers represent our capacity for receiv ing divine truth. The sword of Gide on stands for the word of God ; the cry of Gideon for virtually the cry of Luther: "The just shall live by faith." Enlarging Rev. Ulrich declared that it was through faith that Israel won over the Midiauites aud through faith that lather won out against Rome. Thus God chose the foolish : things of the world to confound the wise. Concluding ho stated that when great crises come God finds men for tho occasion. In support he cited the i case of Paul, Luther, Washington and Lincoln. The Reformation service last even ing was continued by the Sunday school of tho church, which rendered a special service consisting of singing, i etc. Before Justice Bare. Harry Snyder was arraigned before Justice Bare yesterday on the charge ot drunkenness and disorderly con duct. Ho was arrested by Officer Voris Tuesdttj eveniii!' and placed in the lock-up.

JOB PRINTING The office of the AMERICAN being furnished with a large assortment of job letter and fancy type and job material generally, the Publisher an nounces to the public that he is prepared at all times to ex cute in the neatest manner JOB PRINTING Of all K Inds and Description FIRST ACCIDENT OF THE SEASON Tlie only accident which has occur red at football in tliis city during the present season happened at DeWitt's Park Saturday afternoon during the game between Danville and tho High School team of Bloomsburg. This was a mishap of a serious sort sustained by Filbert Nickles, who was playing with Danville, and consisted ot a frac ture of the right leg between the knee and ankle. Nickles played right half hack. The accident occurred three minutes alter the game began during a scrimmage near the Bloomsburg goal. The in jured player was carried from the field and later conveyed to the residence of J. V. Wilson, Piue street, where he boarded. The broken bone was set by Dr. S. Y. Thompson and Dr. Cameron Shultz. In an interview Dr. Thompson stated that both bones of the leg were brok en, the fracture occurring about mid way between the knee and ankle. Nickles, whose home was in Mil ton, was employed by the Bell Tele phone Company as a lineman. He was in Danville for some time and had a number of friends here who deeply sympathize with him in his ill fort une. He was removed to Milton on the 7:51 Pennsylvania train Saturday even ing. He was hauled to the station on a cot. Sweeping Order for Uniforms. A sweeping order requiring nearly all Pennsy employes to wear uniforms has been sent out by General Manager W. W. Atterbury and received by the offices hereabouts,not with the best of feeling, either There is considerable complaint, some of the men thinking that from tho dirty nature of their work they cannot keep their uniforms, which are rather expensive, clean. The following employes will here after be obliged to wear uniforms: Agents, station masters, passenger conductors, train agents, baggage masters, passenger brakemen, ticket examiners, baggage agents and assist ants, checkmen, gatemeu, ushers, special officers, police officors, watch men, cab agents, baggage pirters, cleaners, station porters, cabmen, din iug and parlor car ccnductors,porters, waiters and attendants, mail wagon drivers, messenger boys. A provision of the order is for the wearing of white collars and cutts, and keeping of coats buttoned. For Betterment of Guard. A campaign for the betterment ot the National Guards of Pennsylvania will bo inaugurated at the next session of tl.O OUUT7 is the official titlo of a circular issued by General Robert Shaw Oliver, Act ing Secretary of War, which abounds in suggestions considered timely and practicable by Guardsmen and which provides for every matter that came before the recent meeting of the Na tional Guard Association of Pennsyl vania held at Scranton. |Tlio circular provides that the arin orios for tho use of tho National Guards shall be built by the State up on ground to bo furnished by the local government. It advises the prohibition of parades of unauthorized military bodies, tho protection of the uniform of the National Guard and provides for the calling out of separate military organizations by the Government in times of riot or other emergencies.
