THE ELECTRIC ' RAILWAY The American its several articles on the proposed electric rail way between this city aud Bloomsburg expressed the utmost confidence in the success of the enterprise and even re marked upon the probability of things taking a tangible form yet the present fall. It is true the right of way re mained to be obtained from several property owner- who did not show a disposition to yiolri readily. But so industriously and with such excellent results have W. F. Pascoe, President, and W. A. Heller, Secretary aud Trea suier, ot the Danville and Bloomsburg Electric Railway, been working to overcome existing opposition that the ripbt of way ceases to be a factor and a flairs relating to the proposed linn have reached such a-.(age that but lit tle more remains to be done than to actually begin the work of constiuc t ion. President W. 1' Pascoe is authority for the statement that C. M. Brady, of Easton, the Company's engineer, will be on the ground next week. A contract for motors,generators, switch hoard, lightning arrestors, etc., has been practically closed with the West inghouse Manufacturing Company of Pittsburgh. Much of this material may be delivered at Danville yet this fall, although it i> not likely that the actual work of constructing the line will begin before next spring. The power house, Mr. Pascoe says, will be built at (Jrovania.a point mid way between the eastern and western terminus. If material can be procured when wanted work on this building will no doubt begin within the next two months. The right of wav being in such shape that it can easily be handled,the com pany fias turned its attention to financ ing the road. The success attending their very earliest efforts in this direc tion lias been ot the most encouraging sort and no difliculty whatever is an ticipated in securing all the funds needed to build and equip the road. Mr. Pascoe Bays that the company at present is not figuring on any farther extension ot the line than is embraced by the present charter. He admits that a link connecting Danville with Sunbury, Shamokin or Milton is need ed to complete the trolley chain of the jiorui nnuicii, uui iiiin »»» «» tiou, he says, which will be consider ed in the tuturo.

FIRST ACCIDENT OF THE SEASON lu the game of football played with Hlooiusburg at DeWitt's Park on Sat urday the Danville High School team won its lirst victory of the season. The game although attended with an acci dent, and marked with other delays was nevertheless closely contested and snappy. Both teams seemed pretty well bal anced. Neither side scored in the first half. Dougherty was substituted for Nickles, who had his leg broken. In the second half Rosenthal and Mc- Olure entered the game, the former going to quarter back and the latter to ri«ht half back. After seven minutes' play Rosenthal got the ball and carried it over the line for a touchdown, after which Dougherty kicked the goal. The game ended with the score of t> to 0. The line up: Danville.

The Young Men's Christian Associa tion Woek of Prayer the world over, from the Bth to the 14th, has been maintained for forty years as a season ot prayer foryouugmen. On next Sun day many pastors of leading churches throughout the world will hold ser vices for young men. The Internation al Committee has issued the following statement showing the progress of the Association in tfie past year, which suggests causes for profound thanks giving. There has been a growth of HW Associations making the total now 17:$»>. The total membership of 350,455 shows a gain of '27,000 Over one hun dred more secretaries are employed. The reports of religious services show an increase in attendance at meetings and Bible classes. There are 1.500 more students in evening classes than in any previous year or 30,000. The physical work also shows ;( large in crease. Notwithstanding this growth, leaders in the movement are constant ly urging its extension, stating that it should at least bo possible to double the number of organizations if the means and the men be forthcoming. Thirty-six new building* have been added to the 463 previously erected making a net agio in property of $3,- 600,(MM). Total property value is £21,- 016,415. The Associations spent last year $3,583,000 for current expenses an increase of $400,000, and the State and Provincial Committees, $170,000, an increase of $27,000. The Interna tional Committee spent 011 the home field S6OOO loss than the previous year, or $150,574. For the work in the for eign field $51.625 was raised, an in crease oi s2f>.o° u - A "e Association made large progress in the develop ment of organizations in the industri al field among lumbermen and miners. These organizations are not only sup ported liberally by the companies but are managed by the men themselves, so that they are in no wist* missions to them. The Railroad Department lias made a gain of 50 per cent, in two years, and erected 4:! buildings in that time. The Student Department org anized C.O new brandies making 635, and has 40,000 members, with 16,000 of them in Bible classes. The Army and Navy Department extends its work to military and naval stations abroad. It has 150 traveling libraries in use, while more than 4,000,000 pieces of stationery were used during the past year. The soldiers and sailors have used 75 tons of reading matter, most of this going to the Philippines, Porto Rico, China and Alaska. New build ings have been erected at Fortress Monroe and Fort Hancock that were given by individuals, costing about $30,000 each. Over 1,600 men have joined the Naval Temperance League. The 103 Colored Associations now have 7,0(M) members, and have gained $25,000 in property. The first colored Railroad Association has just been org anized at Bluefield, West Virginia. In five years the membership of Roy's Departments ban nearly trebled. The 1576 Departments have 45,000 mem bers. Special attention is being given to working boys. Reading Retrenchment. The retrenchments to be made by the Philadelphia and Reading Rail road company began at Tamaqua Sat urday by the suspension of about thirty Italian laborers who were en gaged in the work ot improvements in the yards there. The weeding out process will be observed all the way through to Newberry, and it is hinted that the improvement work now going on in the vicinity of Montoursville will be held up and the men suspend ed. October Raspberries. A largo cluster ot ripe raspberries was left at this office a day or so ago by Mrs. Jacob Blohn, Valley township. The berries, notwithstanding that they have grown some three months after the close of the regular season are of full size, luscious and fragrant in odor. The present season during the last few weeks lias also produced several fine specimens of strawbeiries in this locality. It seems quite odd that these berries should grow HO readily out of season and one is apt to wonder what me i sure of success would attend the ex periment if an effort were made to grow strawberries and raspberries in October. President Roosevelt having issued his Thanksgiving Day proclamation the turkey will now proceed to roost high LETTER FROM JOHN L- EVANS Architect J. H. Brugler ha* receiv ed a very interesting letter from our townsman, John L. Evans, who is so journing at Albuquerque, New Mexico, for the benefit of his health Our readers will he glad to know that Mr. Evans has been benefitted by the change and feels much encouraged by the outlook His letter in part reads as follows: "1 am located about three miles from Albuquerque on a ranch called the "Nace Ranch." We have quite a cluster of adobe bouses built from one hundred to 800 yards apart This is a great country : all it has got of any value is sun and air. 1 think 1 am doing remarkably well, as according to the natives, if a pati ent changes for the better within two or three months he is doing well. My condition has changed considerably. Among the patients here are some from Heading and Allentown. This is a hard country to live in, as during the Jay there is a July Man, while the nights are at least 50degrees cooler than during the day. The idea is to sit in the hot sun alt day and go to bed in the cold with every thing open to admit the air. It requires great care to avoid taking cold. You can buy horses here for #lO to $•25. I do not know much about horses, but it I bad one of our Danville horse men here we would go into the horse business. 1 think we would get rich in thirty days. Yours respectfully. JOHN L. EVANS. Struck by a Bridge. Samuel A. Miller, employed a 4 a brakeiuan on the Shamokin division of the Pennsylvania railroad,was fatally injured m the discharge of his duties near Sbamokin Sunday afternoon about 1:35 o'clock. Miller's crew was returning from a trip to Mt. Uarmul and the accident occurred at Fulton,a small station sev-. eral miles on the other side of Sha niokin. A branch road of the Head ing leading to the Fulton colliery crosses the Pennsylvania at that point After the hanging ropes near the ap proach of the bridge had been passed Miller climbed to the top of a house car and was struck in the back of the head by the bridge as he was in the act of standing up after twisting a brake. He was knocked to the loof of the next car, but Flagman Amerman, who saw the accident too late to prev ent it, hurried to his assistance and kept him from rolling oft. The injur ed man was hurried to Sbamok in, but died upon the arrival there. The remains were taken to Sunbury where they were prejiared for burial. The young man was aged 23 yeais. He had been railroading since December, WOO, and was a faithful employe. He was a member of Railroad Trainmen and the Fraternal Order ot Eagles. At the outbreak of tho Spauish-Am erican War he answered the call for volunteers and enlisted in Troop M, Second United States Cavalry and sorted three years in Cuba with much credit ami distinction to both himself and his country. Possessing qualities that enabled him to win and retain many friends, his sudden and unex pected death Is naturally the cause of much sorrow A Good Name.

Coun cil at its last meeting decided that the bridges must come down yet the present tall. D. A. Montgomery, chairman of the Committee on Streets ami Bridges, yesterday stated that the Committee is very anxious to act upon the order ol Council, hut that it is deterred by inability to find a contractor. Tim work, involved, especially us relate*- to the consti uction of the culverts will be of a very ditllcult nature and should be placed in the hands of a person ex perienced in that line of work The brisk times of the past summer have put HO many building operations on foot that it has proven difficult to find a contractor ready to bid on such work. Mr Montgomery stated that there is no doubt but that the bridges will he removed this fall.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the members began assembling at Reno Boat Mall and for an hour renewed old acquaintances and friendships. There were present delegations from Lock Haven, Milton, Lewisburg, Dan ville, Sunbury, Williamsport, and many other points within the terri tory of the regiment. When '.l o'clock arrived over one hundred of the mem bers of the regiment had assembled and Major William C. King took the chair and called the meeting to order. Bert G. Cornwall of Sunbury was elected temporary secretary. Major King then introduced Mayor Laedlein who welcomed the orgau/.a tion to the city in a most interesting and eloquent address. Colonel James B. Coryell who com manded the regiment was then intro duced and responded to the address of welcome. In his remarks he thanked the Mayor i for bis kind words of welcome and ex j pressed bis satisfaction at the large number of those who had assembled to ■ make the first reunion of the regiment a success. He spoke of the organiza tion of the Twelfth Regiment, N. G. P., in 1871 under Colonel Altred H. Stead and briefly sketched in history i and its services to the state during the riots of 1877, the riots at Home stead and the riots at Hazleton. He spoke of the prompt and full re sponse of the companies in 1898 when ordered to Mt. Gretna preparatory to muster into the United States service. He dwelt upon the large personage of the membership of the regiment which volunteered for service in the war with Spain and paid a deserved tribute to those who volunteered and were not accepted by the United States au thorities and those whose home ties were such that it was impossible for them to accompany their comrades when they passsed from the control of the state. Following tho address of welcome and response it was decided to form a premanent organization under the name of"The Twelfth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers Association of Spanish American War," and a constitution was submitted and ac cepted. A permanent organization was form ed by the election of the following: President, Colonel James B. Coryell of Philadelphia; Vice Bresidents,Maj or William H. Straub, of Milton, and Major Charles P. Gearhart of Dan ville; Secretary, Sergeant M. H. Tag ger t, Sunbury; Treasurer. Lieutenant O. li. Nicholas, ot Williamsport. The delegation from Company C, ! Milton, presented an invitation to the regiment to hold its next reunion at Milton. It was accepted by an unan imous vote and Ootobor 29, 1 V»01 was the date fixed. The members of the regiment to the number of about two hundred assem bled at Reno Post Hall at 7 :'lO in the evening, and headed by the Repaz Twelfth regiment band paraded through some of the principal streets of tho city making a very creditable display. At the conclusion of the parade the members returned to the hall, where Colonel Coryell called them to order and organized a camp fire. During the session of the camp fire brief speeches were made by Colonel Clement, Major King, Major Straub, Major Gearhart, Adjutant Snyder, Captain Fullmer, Captain Taylor,Cap tain Cannon, Captain Updegiatf, Cap tain lledhecker, Quartermatser Nichols I and Lieutenant Paul.
