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

which will require a g eat deal cf till

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

Normal to secure th necessary ac
comodations that tl »y desired and
would have made ii impossible for
thorn to seouie the a tention of the
guides owing to the p 3ss of excursion
ists.
The school will clos for the regular
spring vacation on Friday, March
25th, and the student will thus be
abl; to spend teu days at home, in
cluding two Sunday , one of which
will be Easter. The -tadeuts will re
turn to tho t»chool on t ie fourth, leav

Th«i excursion will ne run this year
by the way of West Vilton, in order
to accomodate many of the Alumni at
Miicon, Wi'liamsport, Danville, Suu

The itinerary will be practically the

POOR ATTENDANCE
AT DRILLS.
Captain J. B. 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.

another, but without being cured. I
learned about Doau's Kidney Pills and

who had used them and took accord

, Committed to Jail.
Charles Fillinger, a youth of the
Fourth Ward, was arraigned before
Justice J. P. Bare on the charge of
larceny, Saturday, and in default of
bail was committed to the County
jail.
Fillinger was arre4*cl by William
A. Parsley, a special officer of the P.
&R. railway, who made the follow
ing allt gallons: On Saturday forenoon
he saw young Fillinger standing aloug
side of a P. & R. car. No. 20,352,
which was loaded with .scrap iron.
The car was standing within the limit
of tho Danville yards. The officer kept
his eye ou the defendant and soon saw
him leave the spot carrying a bag
with something heavy inside. The
boy carried the bag to 'he dwelling of
Peter Kelly, Railroad street, Kelly
being a junk dealer. There the officer
arrested Fillinger and found in the bag
40 or 50 pounds of scrap irou such as
was contained on the ear No. 20,352.
The defendant protes ed that he had
not stolen the irou, but had picked it
up about town. He was, however,
held in 1200 for his appearance at
Court. In default of bnil he was com
mitted to jail.

Tho accident was one of a sort sel- j

Standing close by at the time was
C. A. Steveus of the Troy Laundry
Machine Company,and Thomas Cripps,
the washer, who was in a stooping
posture, sorting clothes. Mr. Stevens
stood behind a heavy irou washer,
which acted as a shield, and lie escap
ed without a scratch. Mr. Cripps,
however, was struck on tho side and
shoulder by a piece of iron over a foot
in length and knocked prostrate on the
floor.
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

' 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

Dr. Smith after an examination gave
it as his opinion that Mr. Cripps had
sustained no broken bones, although
he was very badly bruised and suffer

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

It is only at the present when the
snow disappears and the ice melts that
the housekeej er fully realizes what in

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.

AGED LADY
FOUND DEAD.
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.
Krighbaum, who lives about a quarter
of a mile distant,went to the homo of
tier mother and found her in good
health aud spirits. Mrs. Hepner re
turned to her own home about noon
going to see her mother again Friday
afternoon, when she found her dead
body lyiug ou the kitcheu floor near
the door.
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.

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. From St. Paul's church,
this citv, Thomas O. Curry and Hou.
James Foster are delegates to the Lay
Electoral Conference. From Trinity
M. E. church, William F. 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. It is not anticipated that there
w ill lie any change iu the personnel of
the Methodist ministers cf Danville
aud vicinity.

THE GERMANIA
BREWERY.!
The Qeimauia Brewery, Fr.ut street,
which has brewed beer for two gen
orations and whose history extends
back beyond the memory of onr oldest j
inhabitants iu all probability will be
a landmark but a few days ljiiger. j
Foust Bros., tlie present owners, have |
decided to tear down the structure aud )
to rebuild along more modern lines.
Stone lias already been delivered at the
spot aud tlie work of razing the old
building may begin at any day.
The brewery is a rambling wooden
j structure one story high. If is com
| posfd of different sections hnilt at
j different times and as a result the g<Mi
I eral plan of the building is not at all
; in harmony with modern ideis and in
! terferes with the progress of work. A
i good deal of the floor space can he put
j to no practical use whatever,while at
! several of the parts occupied the quar
! ters are exceedingly cramped.
| The piaus for the new building show
] a brick structure eighty-feet by thirtv
j six feet. The building will be two
! stories high with the exception of the
j central portion which will rise to a
height of three stories.
The third story will be utilized as a
| place for storing the malt, while the
! malt mill, which is cow on tlie groand
| (loor, will be kept on the second story.
lln tho new building the fermenting
I room which is now in the cellar, will
|bo on the first floor. This is consider
ed a very important change,one which
' will insure a greater degree of purity
|in the product. Other portions of the
j first floor will be used for cold stor
; ago, etc. The building will bo laid
j with a concrete or cement, floor and
iron pillars wilt be used for internal
j support.
Iu rebuilding if is not. the intention
i to discontinue brewing. The propriet-
I ors have a plan by which they believe
! they will be enabled to put up their
new building without auy delay or
i loss to their business.

Preparing to Move.
The rapid approach of the first of
April is evidenced by tiie unusual ac
tivity among those who are obliged,
or desire to change their dwelling
houses tins spring. Just now there is
a hurrying and scurrying among a
large proportion of the householders,
and the u<ual salutation is not an in
quiry iu regard to their health, but if
they aro going to move. To the young
ster it means a good time, as tli reins
o? parental authority are loosjnod,aod
for the time tiding, they ar 1 permitted
tJ go unrestrained, questions of more
moment occupying th • uiinds of the
parents. To the parents however, it
presents a different aspect. It is one
continual hustle and bistle until a
place has been found for everything,
even if a lot of it has to stand in the
attic, and the home his been rendered
habitable for another year. Knowing
ail this, there are people who ar ; <
never happy unless tliey move every
twelvo months.

Repairs to B-?gin at Once.
John Ilooley and M. I>. Tieriiey,who
have purchased the Iluber foundry.
\ 1
j will begin work on tho repairs of the
plant tills week.
Mr. Ilooley stated yesterday that
; the floors may need straightening up
j and the building probably a new roof,
j but beyond these no repairs will bo
noedel at the present.
Tiie aim is t'j get the plant started
up a« quickly as possible. There is
I sufficient door space for right mould
ers, but whether tho foundry will b?
opeiat'd to its fell capacity for some
j time to come, of contse, will depend
• upon business conditions etc. The ntw
, ownnrs in running the plant will rely
i a great deal upon job work.
