Four of the new in candescent an 1 lights were in position ami the result was most satisfactory. Everything about the system is new and improved in tvpe. At present the plant is lighted by electricity furnish ed by the Standard Electric (light Company. All of the lights now in use will be displaced by the modem incandescent arc lumps, which em body many advantages over the old. As implied hy the term ' incaudes cent," while by no means deficient in brilliancy they are attended by iio shadow and they cast a mild and subdu ed light which makes them easy on the eyes Tliev are known as the 100-hour lamp and the carbon needs to he changed hut once a week. The dynamo and whole system is thoroughly in sulated so that the elem -nt of danger is entirely eliminated. The tour incandescent ar? lights were placed ill position merely tor the I tirpose ot testing the dynamo. It will he some time before the entire system will he in working order. A separate engine wilt be installed to operate the dynamo The system employed is quite an ex tensive one employing at present over a dozen arc lamps and double that number ot smaller incandescent lights. In installing itown system the com pany will inerra-e the number of lights, hnth luge and small. Repairing Street. Street Commissioner K. S. Millet with a force of men is busy at present repai iug the road leading from Welsh 11111 to Sidler Hill. Much of the land in that locality lies in common and delivery wagons and other vehicles hound tor Sidler's Hill did not coiline themselves to any particular road hut generally drove wherever they fancied Havel would be the easiest. The result was three differ ■nt roads, all of which in process of time became our of order and well nigh impassable. The matter was linally laid before Council and it was decided to proceed lo repair the road in conjunction with Mahoning township. Upon visiting the spot liowev r, the street Commis sioner dot lined to enter upon the work until the Committee on Streets and Bridges should decide which was the regular and authorized street. The Committee investigated the mat ter last week and selected the middle one ot the three as the legal street and it is upon that one that-the repairs are being made The low places ate all till d up and the street is nicely grad ed. while water courses along side aie dug where needed to prevent wash outs Bessemer Steel Plait.

Evans. A letter received Monday from our townsman John I<. hv#us, who is so* i jouruiug near Albuquerque, N. M., for tins health, contains very encour aging news. Mr. Evans although he has been In New Mexico but a month 1 has gained eight and a hall pounds in weight. That he is being benefitted i l>v his trip admits of no doubt. The Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company lias raised the reut on its eight hundred teJleUieUl houses ill the Panther Greek Valley about 20 per CBUt UirHIIIBIESTS IT Illi; VI.MSIIOI SI: The inmates of the Almshouse of the Danville .and Mahoning Poor Dis trict wlio e hi';-I 1 i nes have made t hem public charges henceforth will know at least soni of the luxuries that many persons who own their own homes are unaccustomed to. A lavato ry system has been installed in the Almshouse affording a daily bath and other conveniences. For many years the wells about tin poor farm were relied upon for a wat er supply. Owing to the nature of the soil, however, the water was hard in quality and undesirable for most pur poses. During the past summer a two inch pipe was laid to a large and nev er failing spring on the ridge at flu south side of the F. & K. railroad from the farm, at a distance of at least an eighth ot a mile. The water pure and fresh is conducted from the spring in to not only the Almshouse proper, the Steward's house, but also the barn, the pig pens and eveu into the orchard where the swine run at large during the summer. The lavatory system comprises three bath room-;, and is a feature of the appointment which will add much to the comfort and physical welfare of the inmates, the most of whom belong to the aged an I infirm The < >verseers of tin- Poor contem plate inst tiling it tcl -pho'io 'L'li" pooi farm is inconvenieirlv situited from town and 111 case o; illness or other emergencies a long drive ir- necessary which often causes considerable de lay.

In order that the Borough m iv profit by the changed condition- as relates t<> the coal supply, the Water Cnm mi-sioners arc- puichtMng roil i tr be youd the customary limir; the water works being stocked to !a-t until Spring they are piling the coal out side the building oil the river bank, where when needed with litil" diffi culty it can he shoveled into the boil er room. The coal purchased is the river art icle extracted by Mr. LeDnc. It is tor the purpose of taking advantage of a reduction that the extra supply is be ing laid in. The coal is not only ot the very best quality evn taken from the river but the price is but $1.50 per ton delivered, the lowest ligure at which the Borough ever bought coal in the history ot the water works. The economy of using river coal lor steam purposes was well demonstrated at the water wotks la.«t season. It will henceforth be used by the Borough to the exclusion of all other kinds so long a> if can be obtained. The sup ply piled up outside the building with the stock inside will tide the works over till the coal digging season opens next summer. To Watcli Assessor.--. School boards ot the various dis tricts throughout the state have been notified by the State D-'parlnient ot Public Instruction to watch the re turns of the assessors for this year, especially to the desire of the depart ment to have the return of school children. It is the intention to have every child recorded who is subject to the compulsory education law. Considerable complaint was made the past year about the carelessness of assessors in registering children, which resulted in the cutting of ap propriations in many districts, the ap propi iatiun being based in part on the mimher of pupils registered on the books of the assessor:-.

F <}. Hartman.the proprietor, states 111 it since June last the -ilk business ha- expei ienced a depression unparal lelled during -even years past. Never theless, while inatiy other mills are working only two days per week, Mr. Hartman, thanks to his modern mach inery an 1 superior work turned out, has heeii aide to keep hi- mill- in this city, Berwick and Shickshiuuy, three in number, running without any loss of time and what i< more he does not contemplate tr<,3ll the present outlook to either reduce his time or suspend operations. Neither have the improvements and enlargement- inaugurated at other plants interfered in the lea-t with the policy of expansion adopted at Mr. Ilartman's mills. The enlargement of the plant and installation of new machinery is constantly going on and it is worthy of noto that during the la-t four months alone Mr. Hartman hi- added to In- mill in this city in the way of floor space and new mach inery more than would equal the original plant when constructed. Th ■ present floor space is no less than 45,000 square feet and every avail able foot is occupied with machinery. The proprietor has still other improve ments in view and ho will continue his policy of expanding to provide places for skilled help as fast as they can he made familiar with the work. Mr. Hartman employ- about five hundred operatives at his three mills in this city, Berwick and Shiekshinny. Star Course Entertainments.

Daring la-t week Rev. Dr. Heming way of Rloomsbnrg, made a visitation of the churches of Wa.ihiugtouville, Derry and New Columbia. At each church he lias preached and held a con gregational meeting. The churches as a group have i-sued a pastoral call for the services ot Rev S. V. Bedickian of KnowiHe, Henna.

During an interview with President Pascoe yesterday afternoon it was learned that with a single exception the right of way between this city and Bloomsbutg, with the necessary sig natures has been secured. In the one instance forming the exception but little more than some necessary for mality remains to be complied with in order to give the company the right of way. Mr. Pascoe stated that contracts have been closed for cars and rails and that these together with much other material will be delivered on the ground before Spring probably before 1 ho holidays. The ties and poles will bo purchas ed in this neighborhood and the com pany will advertise for bids in a week or ten days. This will bring into the market a gteat deal of timber suitable for such purposes which still remains in this section. As the ties and the poles are to be delivered along the line of the road.no doubt many of the farmers between here and Bloomsburg who have timber convenient will be among the bidders. The first work done in the line of construction will probably be on the power house, which will be built at Urovania. The building will be of hi ick and the plan is to begin work ou it during the winter. There has been a remarkable change of sentiment between this city and Bloom-liurg during the last few months It is not an easy matter now to find any who has objection to urge against the trolley line. Oil the co»trarv there is a good deal of enthusiasm and the farmers liko the residents of Dan ville and Bloomsburg,are looking for ward with pleasant anticipation to the day when the trolley will counect the two towns.
