ALLS CLOSED I TC TRAVEL Tho alley between West Market street and West Mahonii g street at the ( residence of Burgess P« rsel was clos- i ed to travel Tuesday a ternoou. Tho i alley is no lot.ger ct '.ered sale ow- | iui> to tho condition 112 the sewer, i which was badly wa bed and un- i dermined by the wate main which i broke during the wintci. A.ong this alley the ewet pipe lies at a depth of nealy thii y feet. When ' the break occurred the v- iter held down j by tho frozen earth > i tho surface i found its way north ai 1 south aloug tho trench saturating the ground, causing it to settle and eaving a tun nel-like cavity, which ippareutly ex tends from Mahoning c ek to the riv er. The alloy was safeeti Jgh as long as the lrost remained i the ground, which kept the surface of the sewc treuch intact. During t -e mild weath er of tho few days past however, the ground became very sot and began to cave in at several poi-ts. At each [il»c. tie true conditio of affairs was revealed. The cavity ;.long under the frost line is nearly time feet deep and indicates that as soon ; s tho frost ful ly pass s out thero will be a general settling aloug the surfa ;o of the trench which will require a g eat deal cf till ing up. Breaking Up a Bau Practice. According to all ace nuts many of the merchants on Mil! street are un consciously losers from a source that they little dream of. A gentleman who is in a position to observe what is going ou along tho str< ■ t st:.tes that the merchants are vi 'timizod shamefully by a gang cf depraved youngsters v ho steal from in front of the stores. The boys have their pilfering reduce to a science and so far as the merc ! ant is concern ed tli"y seem to be saf« beyoud detec tion. They never operate but one g nerally steps into th store to s>>e what the merchant is tiling while oth ers linger outside in proximity to goods displayed on th pavement. It' the merchant or cleik is not in sight or is occupied so as not to see readily what is going on outsi lethe sigual is quickly given when t! e confederates dexterously help the: leelves to or anges, tobacco, or an; thing else they may want which happens to be within reach. Tho gentleman sf ited that this scheme is worked exte isively and ho named a couple of stores which are victimized the most. These merchants yesterday were apprised of what is go ing on and au effort will bo made to break up the practice of pilfering. Aside from the loss incurred by the merchants the moral fleet upon the youngsters is bad, as habits of dis honesty such as these s pretty sure to lead to a career of evil marked in all probability by steali ig ou a larger scale. Normal Excursion ate Changed. The date of the B'oomsburg State Normal School cxci rsion has bc< n changed from March ; Bth to April sth because of the fact tl it ou the date first, selected there w he no less than eleven other excur.iio < in Washing ton.

Gearhart in Company order No. 2, now being sent out to the members of Company F. 12th Regi ment, N. G. P., calls attention to the poor attendance at drills and in no uncertain tone sets forth the unfor tunate results to the Compauy which are pretty suro to follow unless the members attend more i gnlarly and buckle down to hard wo k. But three weeks intervene between the present and the coming inspection and if the Company fails, Captain Gearhart remiuds the numbers, it can he attributed to the men win absent themselves from drills and allow petty reasons to excuse them Poor attend ance will also tell heavily on the camp pay, as a strict account of at tendance is kept- and tie lines will not be remitted. Captain .T. B. Gearhart is now rounding out the fifth year of his com mission. During the last four j ears Company F has stood near the top of the list, being second on three occas ions. < tpfain Gearhart, indeed would be very sorry to see the standard of the company fall as the close of his commission approaches. The Company has labored under some disadvantage during tlie past year by reason of a change in First and Sec ond Lieutenant , First Sergeant and several sergeants and corporals. The effect has been to disarrange the work ing of the company, as the now men havo not yet learned to discharge their duties as would those older and of greater experience in the guard. The duty of these men, especially, ; is very clear and they are asked to leave no obstacle stand in the way of their regular attendance at drills. The non commissioned officers are now receiving more attention thau formerly, as their importance in a company seems to be appreciated iu a way that was lost sight of in the past. A standaid has been set for non-com missioned officers to attain to and ou the recommendation of the inspecting officer all who show any incompetency at the next inspection will be reduced to the tauks. Captain Gearhart will hold a non commissioned officers' school every night after drill. NOT THE ONLY ONE. There are Hundreds of Danville People Similarly Situcted.

Oua of the employes quickly shut oft tho steam, while others ran to tho assistance of the injured man. The latter was given over to the care of Dr. Smith,when all hands returned to the laundry, where a scene of destruc tion presented itself. The extractor had literal ly flown to pieces. Two washers which stood near by were wrecked beyoud repair, while a lot of the other machinery was bad ly injured. There was not au employe ' in tho building but had a hair breadth escape among the flying missiles, which not ouly played havoc anion# the machinery but also riddled the wind ows and bombarded the ceiling.

February Not a Record Breaker. According to the various records of the exact weather bureau February wasn't the cold month that the calam ity howlers would like to have reople believe. 'Tis true February was cold, and that it was the coldest February in j three years, but Febiaary, 1901, was I every degree as cold as February, 1904, taking the month all and all, which is a condition of affairs that cold victims would not like to believe. The mean temperature for 1901 and J904 was twenty degrees, while that for 1902 was twenty-four degrees, as compared with thirty degrees for the i mouth ot February, 1904. The coldest days of last February were the tenth and sixteenth, when I the mercury registered four degrees below zero. The temperature mount ; ed highest in the tube on the seventh, when fifty-five degrees were register- I ed. There were two other days during the month when the mercury fell be low zero—on the second,when one de gree was marked and on the seven , teeuth when three degrees were reg | istered. The greatest snow, fall occurred on | the twenty-fourth, when twenty-seven I hundiedths of an inch fell. On the | twenty-second theie were twenty-one ! hundredths of an inch of snow. Out |of the month there were but seven J clear days, with ten partly cloudly, twelve cloudy, and eleven on which one-tenth of an inch of snow fell. Frott occurred on every day of the month except the seventh. The snow fall was the smallest in four years, with a total of but ninety j two hundredths of an inch. In 1901 ! there wer« 1.31 inches snow fall, 4.37 1 inches in 1902.and 3.51 inches in 1903.

Unsight y Places Exposed, Residents about town are beginning to see the surface of their back yards tor the lir=t time since last November and like th* 1 streets, which just now are cxposel to view by the melting ice,they present au appearance which the eye does not rare to feast upon. The hard winter made it impossible to look after the premises as is done in sumin r. The snow was charitable and whatever was unsightly or delet erious was quickly concealed from v|i'W by the successive falß It is only at the present when the snow disappears and the ice melts that the housekeej er fully realizes what in spito of due attention a winter's ac cumulation fully amounts to. It is a little too early to enter upon a system of cleaning up. but it is well to bear in mind that a liberal use of quicklime is never amiss and that under present conditions it may prove especially useful as a purifying agency.

Mrs. Adam Kreighbaum, sifter of Aatou Sober, this city, was found dead in her home uear Snydertown Friday evening. The sudden death caused much surprise, as Mrs. Kreigh baum was apparently iu excellent health when last Feen alive,which was the day bi fore. The deceased, who was seventy-two years of age, lived alone on a farm about midway betwe.i Khnesgrovo and Snydertown. Thursday morning Mrs. Hepner. a daughter of Mis.

According to indications tho wo man had been dead some hours, as the ! body was cold and rigid. All the doors wore unlocked and the fires iu all the stoves wero out. The supposi tion is that Mrs. Kreighbaum was a victim of heart trouble and fell over i dead some time early on Thursday | evening when she was about to close the house before retiring. More Kiots.

School Teachers' Annuities- The courts iu Philadelphia have made what is bound to prove an ex tremely popular decision—a u ido from its manifest justice—iu the school teachers' pension case. Louis Elkin, a well-known Philadelphia,! now de ceased, made a provision in his will for tho payment of annuities to pub lic school teachers employed by the city who, aLer 25 years of service, found themselves " without means of support." Au applicant for one of tl-*se annuities confessed to the pos session of property yi< Ming an annual income of SB2. The hoard ot educa tion had adopted a rule that private iucomo of s<JtiO or less was not to l.e regarded as a disqualification. It therefore approved the application, and certified the case to the trustee company for payment. The trustee company flatly to allot the an nuity, on the ground that, as the ap plicani, was not without means of support, her ca-o 3id not conform to tho conditions of the will. The matter was bronght before the Orphans Court. It was urged iu her behalf that Mr. Klkin could not have meant by the phrase ' without means of support" that one should be with out auy means at all, an absolute pau per, in fact, but that the applicant should be without adequate means. And this was of course the common sense new, a« Mr. Elkin plainly did not propose that any one who had formerly tilled the honorable role of school teacher should be compelled to subsist ou less than a month all told. The court's decision was iu fav or of the applicant, but upon the ground that the tes ator explicitly and absolutely empowered the board of education to pass upon the eligibil ty of applicants. That board was made the final when it ren dered its decision aud issued its oorti ficiate no court, tho judges affirmed, could go behind tho fact and inquire into the justice or correctness of the verdict. It is to bo presumed tho trustee company's action was not obstructive but was dictated purely by a desire to do nothing that would not stand the strictest court surveillance. In this view of the matter, its course was justifiable; nevertheless there most be gratification that its objections failed to hold water under the legal te<t There is no more noble calling than that of the public instructor,on whose faithful ministrations to our youth depends much of the nation's future character. The training of the school room is second in its influence only to the training of the homo; and no teacher who has served for twenty five years should be abandoned by the American public, which rightfully takes pride iu its free school-system, the finest in the worl 1. Mr. Elkin's annuity idea was a genuine inspiration. Philanthropy of this sort has brains behind it. It is a cause for congratulation that the courts are en'eriug into tin true spirit of his benefaction and it is to bo hop id that more Pennsylvania philanth orpists on making their wills may be impressed by his example.

CENTBAL PESNA CONFERENCE. The annual session of the Central Pennsylvania Conference will meet at; the Fifth Street Methodist Episcopal church, Harrisburg, on Wednesday, March 23 at 8:30 o'clock iu the morn ing. bishop Charles C. McCabe, I). D., of Omaha, Neb., will be the presiding Bishop. This is the first time that Bishop McCabe has presided over the Central Pennsylvania Conference. The first session *fter organization will be the memorial session held in ; memory of those member* of tlie Con- j ference who have died daring the j year. This will inolude a memorial j to tho Rev. Dr. Joseph B. Shaver, a > former pastor of St. Paul's, who de- . parted this life at Hazleton last sum- ! mer. There are two candidates for Secre tary of Conference, one being Rev. A. L. Miller, pastor at Catawissa, the present recorder of Conference; the other candidate for Secretary is Rev. J. A. Anderson of Altoona. The pas tors of the Danville churches and of ! many of the churches iu the Danville j District are for Rev. Miller for Sec- I retary aud his election is practically conceded. At the session of this conference live men will have completed their fifty years of membership in the Conference and an elaborate "fiftieth Anniversa ry 1 ' service will be held,each of the five ministers delivering addresses. Among those who have rounded out fifty years of service art) the Rev. Samuel Creigh | ton and (lie Rev. Richard Hiukle.hou ' ored former pastors of St. Paul's, of I this city. Rev. Dr. David Monroe of I Shamokin is another of those who has j completed fitty years. I Of course one of the chief duties of an annual Conference is tho appoint ment of preachers to churches. This year is what Methodist preachers fam iliarly term an "off" year and it is not expected that there will bo much changing among the ministers. There is one appointment, however, wliicji because of its importance may involve j some unexpected changes. This ap j poiutmeat concerns tlie Rev. Dr. W. W. Evans, who retires from tlie Pre ' siding Eldership, of the Danville Dis j trict because of the expiration of time. It is understood that Dr Evans will i suggest the names of three men from which number Bishop McCabe will 'select one, *.v!io will succeed Dr. ' Evan-. The three men suggested by the retiring Presiding Elder will be . the Rev. Emery Stevens, of Williams ! port, the Rev. C. C. Connor, of Al | toona, and the He v. R. 11. Gilbert of Berwick. Either one of these is con sidered as being worthy of the posi i tion of Presiding Elder of this dis \ trict. The Lay Electoral Conference com posed of ono layman from each church will meet on Friday, March 25th, and will elei-t six laymen as delegates to the General Conference of the church, which meets at Los Augeles, Gal., May I, 1901.

Geaihart is delegate,while St. Peter's, Riverside, will bo represented in the Lay Eector al Conference by W. R. Clark, of South Danville. It now seems apparent that Frank P. Llewellyn of Shamokin will he elected to the General Conference from this district. Rev. Harry Curtin Harman, pastor of St. Paul's, will be the guest of our former townsman, Johu R. Rote, dur ing the coming session at llarrisburg, and associated with him at the home ■if Mr. Rota will bo the Rev. R. J. Alien of Riverside. It is taken for granted that each of the pastorn of the local churches be cause of the efficient service which they have rendered and prosperous con ditions of tho churches will return to their respective pastorates for another year.
