THE mYEAR'S
BIG PARADE
A large and enthusiastic meeting
was held in the Washington Hose House
last evening for the purpose of mak
ing arrangement- for the New ear s
parade. All tho committees reported
progress, while sufficient has been ac
complished to make it evident that
those back of the event are determined
that Danville shall see a mummer's
parade this year that will eclipse any
thing of the kind ever witnessed here
before.
D. O Williams, Wesley Hollobaugh,
Elijah Morgan, Seth Lormor, R. W.
Fetterman and A. C. Roat constitut
ing the committee of arrangements
were present at the meeting. Tho first
uamed, D. O. Williams. Chairman of
tho Committee, presided at the meet
ing.
The committee on music leported
that in addition to Stoes" Baud and
ttie Washington Drum Corps, whose
services are assured, the Mechanics
vilie Baud will also in all probability
be in the line of parade. An invita
tion has teen extended to that band
and a favorable response i- expected.
It is plain that tin? industrial feat
ure of the parade will be by no means
the least interesting. The merchants
are devising all sorts of methods, or
igin i! and unique in their way.to ad
vertise their goods and at the s:tuie
time to add to the interest of the par
ade.
The idea is to hive a detachment ot
the military to lead th > parade along
with a delegation of th i biggest fire
men of the department, four chosen
from each fire company.
Robert Pursel, Marshal, with Will
O. Biowu, R. W. Fetteiman, John
Freeze and James .Tones constituted
the committee on Route of Parade.
The committee made its report last
evening, which was en motion adopt
ed. The route selected is as fjllows:
Form at Washington HoSe House —
March up Market to Mowery—to
Grand —to Na.-sau—to Front—to Mill
—to Market—to Chestnut—to Mahon
ing—to Mill—to Bloom—to Ash -to
Center—to Mill—out Mill to Farmers'
Hotel and countermarch Mill to
Invention Said to be Successful.
After exhausting experiments last
ing over a period of ten years made on
the lines of the Pennsylvania Rail
road in the vicinity of Altoona, Pat
rick H. Delaney, au electrical invent
or of South Orange, N. .F. has perfect
ed a telegraph system which is destin
ed to supercede the post office. It is
capable of sending messages at tho
rate ot 3000 words a initiate, and a
company is to be formeif to compete
with the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph Companies in the sending
ot bulky matter to the principal cities
of the country.
The machine telegraph in designed
principally for use on wires running
between the most important cities,
over which large volumes of business
have to be sent each day. These wires
are now taxed to their utmost to carry
even the limited volume of business
under the present system. By the De
laney system it is claimed that at the
least forty times tho quantity of mat
ter can be transmitted iu a given time
It is Mr. Delaney's idea to make his
system take the place of the mails foi
business correspondence. He says the
day is near when it will not pay a
business man to mail a letter to Chi
cago at a cost of two cents and wait
two or three days for au answer when
for a little more expenditure he can
send a letter as far and receive an an
swer in a few hours.
With this system a stenographer in
any businessman's office may punch
out letters on a tape on a machine re
sembling at type writer,send the mess
age to the telegraph office, where it is
put on its way at a 8000-word clip and
is received on a chemically prepared
tape. This may be translated and
ready for delivery within an hour of
the time it was written, all at a cost
far below telegraph rates The New
York man may get an answer to his
communication in as quick time

FIERCE FIRE
AT BIG MILL
A lire broke out at the Heading lion
Works shortly before 3 o'oloek on Sat
| urday afternoon and hot for the fact
it hat the wind was blowing strongly
from the west the greater part of the
mill might have been destroyed.
The fire was confined to a building
standing on the bank of Mahoning
oreek in which were stored brick and
1 masons' supplies and a quantity of iron
filings, which are used in the pud
dling furnaces The iron filings and
dust, which constitute refuse and
waste matter of machine shops, were
-.tturated with oil and thereby added
to the fierceness of the fire.
The interior ot the building was a
seething mass of flame before it broke
through the roof. One of the first to
see the fire was Tarring G. Brown,
clerk for R. L. Marks. The Hames had
just eaten through the roof, but were
rapidiv spreading Mr Brown quick
lv notified A. M I'eteis in his store
adjoining who in turn called up the
tire department. Tiiere was scarcely
any delay and the firemen weie on the
ground in au incredibly short period
of time
I'lie die burned with fearful intens
ltv and the building from the first was
doomed. ft was situated some ten
yards east of the mill, separated from
it only by a roadway. Had the wind
been blowing from the east with the
same velocity that it came from the
west there would have been nothing
to save the mill. As it was the roar
ing flames were blown far out over
Mahoning creek and the dense clouds
ot iilaok smoke rolled aloug over
the housetops, shutting oat the sky to
those on Mill street and creating tho
impression that the entirp Reading
Iron Works were in flames.
The fire department aided by the
mill hose did all in its power to check
the flames, but before It snceeedod the
building, which was about the dimen
sions of an ordinary dwelling house,
was practically destroyed. It is diffi
cult to figure on the loss at present.
The building was Insured.
Whether the fire originated from a
stove which *as kept in the building
or from spontaneous combustion In
the iron filings is not known.

The lat J William K. Dodge was one
of the most generous givers to Christian
work that New York or the country
has known Few men knew tho plan
' of his life or the secret of his giving,
however. As revealed by his will, he
; considered himself as a steward of
i (rod. aud administered his great busi
ness, and his fortune, and his abil
■ ities as well, to the glory of God.
' fhe |5,000 bequeathed him by his
grandfather roiled up Into a large sum.
He gave generously to the Young
Men's Christian Association, with
which he was personally connected as
au official tor over fifty years, his
gilts amounting to over |HOo,OOO. iu
his w ill occurs the following statement
that should be full of interest to overy
! man who recognizes relations to God
! in the administration of his fortune:
■ Acting from a judgment deliberate
>lv formed, based upou observation uX
quests to religious and charitable ob
jects,and believing it better and wiser
to give liberally during my life to
such object, I make no bequests of
that character. Knowing the hearty
sympathy of my beloved wife in all
that is good, I feel sure that should
she survive me she will use the prop
erty entrusted to her hands as a faith
ful steward of God, and I trust that
by the guiding of a kind Providence
my children aud grandchildren have
been so educated as to feel it a privil
ege and joy to give liberally and large
ly in proportion to their means for the
advancement of the cause of oar Bless
ed Redeemer, and to ail humane and
benevolent objects."

A new Association House is being
opened each week, costing from a few

bers feel a personal interest in every
department of the work,in fact realize
that it is their institution and Ihey
are responsible for its success. The
great need of thin Association in for
more esprit de corps on the part of the
members | While It is a sad faot it is
nevertheless trne that nearly all onr
members are in the Association for
what they can got out of it. Some
few pay for their tiokets and then
never come near the building to take
advantage of the privileges. Both of
these classes are only half-members.
The real member is the man who pays
for iiis ticket, takes advantage of ttie
privileges in all departments, for his
own improvement, and then serves ac
tively on committees and gives ruucli
time and thought to the welfare of the
Association and the other fellows. He
is ready at all timas to give helpful

PREPARING FOE
STREET PAVING
Th« committee appointed to circu

According to the law on the subject
this is sufficient to insure the proposi

Special Agent Wilkinson in his report
of November 80, 11(03, and will l>e
follows :
Beginning at the Post Office in Dan

Looks Like Murder.
New light on the tragedy at Oentralia
on Christmas night reveals that the
victim, John Dauksha, did not com
mit suicido, but was murdered. Mys
tery surrounds the story and it is
doubtful if the crime will ever be
fastened on anyone.
After Dauksha and Donna Shoski
had quarreld in George Metzcock's
home they went out on the street.
Their companions hearing four shots
rushed out and told that Shoski was
reeling around. Shoski said Dauksha
had shot him and then shot himself.
Dauksha lay on the ground with a
bullet through his temple
At a hearing later, however. Hen
jamiu Dvke, who lives next dror, to
Metzcock, told a different story. lie
I says lie heard four shots and rushed
out to find Dauksha on his bark, with
Shoski s fare was bleeding <•< piously
from a bullet wound across hi- tore
head. Dauksha clutched a revolver in
his right hand. Shoski had evidently
overpowered his assailant after lie had
been shot.
Dyke then went away to call tor an
officer, and when he had turned and
taken a few steps lie heard another
shot. Dauksha lay there with a bul
let hole in his left temple and the re
volver lav at his left foot. It had live
empty chambers.
As Dauksha held tho revolver in his
right hand to shoot Shoski he could
not likely have placed the revolver to
his le ft temple while held down, and
tho theory advanced is that either
Shoski or one of the three compan
ions, who surrounded the pair fired
the last shot.
Shoski's story was, no doubt, told
to avoid all suspicion, although it is
likely he or one of his companions shot
in self defence. Shoski, who had been
taken into custody, was released, and
it is not likely the murder will be
charged to anyone.
