HISTORY OF RIVER BRIDGES (COMMUNICATED; Editor of Montour American—Some facts of historic interest to your read ers, gleaned from the records of the Danville Bridge Company are present ed by the writer lo show the changes aud repairs undergone during a period of three quarters of a cntuiv. The first bridge was erected in 1828, under « contract to John P. Schuyler and James Fletcher tor the stun of 127,250. The abutment-, wing walls aud piers were built in eight months. Woik was commenced in March 1828, aud the entire structure completed May 18th, 1829. The State having ap propriated 110,000, the bridge was viewed and approved by Lewis Dewart, Geu'l. R. H. Hammond and Tlios. A. Lloyd,commissioners appointed by the Governor. The piers were damaged by the freshets of 1831 and 2. aud repair ed at a cost of £1047,09 In 1833, the Bridge Co. were sued by H. H. Burr, assiguee of Theo. Burr, for using his system of truss which cost the com; pany 11088.94 In 1838 and 9 further freshet- damages occurred to the amount of 10833, the 'ate appropriat ing SSOOO. For the a oinmodatiou of travelers on dark nights, in the year 1814, a lantern was placed at the bridge. In 1845 a lot at the North end was purchased from Hon. D. S. Montgom ery, and a toll houso erected. On March 14th 1840, the bridge was swept away by a freshet; plans aud specifi cations for rebuilding were presented by Robert Faiies and adopted. A con tract was awarded to Chester B. Evans of Elmira.N.Y. aud David VV. Kownov er, Danville, Pa., and Chas. S. Beard appointed engineer at $2.00 per day, with the understanding that he was to give bis whole time Sundays included. Spans ot the lat bridge lodged near Suubury. By the Oth day of Nov. 1847, oue track of the new bridge was pass able. The State Legislature Jan. 5, 1851 authorized the company to issue SOOOO iu bonds at 0 per cent per an num,the interest payable semi-annual ly aud the principal S2OOO May Ist, 1857, *JOOO May Ist, 1858, S2OOO May Ist, 1859. These bonds were sold for S7O on SIOO. On March 26th, 1852 in place of permits being issued the tick et system vxus aaopieu, ..... $4.00 in tickets for $ 3.00 in cash. 7.00 in tickets for 5.00 in cash. 15.00 in tickets for 10.00 in cash. 25.00 in tickets for J5.00 in cash. 35.00 iu tickets for 20.00 in cash, but iu 1855 the annual permit system was revived. Aug. 19th, 1851, Joseph Hunter was chosen collector of tolls. The freshet ot 1865 reached a height of 20 feet,bat no damage was done to the bridge. Iu 1809 the toll receipts were large ly increased by tho building up of Riverside on the south side of the riv er. The freshet of March 17th, 1875, carried away the superstructure and slightly damaged the piers. A contract was awarded to H. F. Hawke & Co. for repairing the piers, which were raised 4 feet above the former level. The building of the wooden super structure was awarded to the Toledo Bridge Co. Work was commenced April Ist. 1875 aud finished Aug. loth, the same year. Iu 1894 the bridge property was pur chased by the counties of Moufour and Northumberland, and was kept up and maintained as an inter-coanty structure jntil the 9th day of March 1904, when destroyed by an ice freshet which reached the unprecedented height of 29 feet, <1 inches and marked an important epoch iu the history of the Susquehanna Kiver. Under a late act of Assembly the State will now const ict a new high way bridge which may be commenced about June Ist and barring accident, can be completed and made ready for public travel within a period of six months. Meanwhile transportation by ferry with its inconveniences must he accepted by the public. X. V. Z. Was Killed on Last Trip. William Frederick Snyder, of Sha mokiu, who has been employed as a brakeman on the Catawissa division of the Reading Railway, with head quarters at Tamaqua, for the past two mouths, determined on S»turday that the trip he was about togo out ou would be bis last. Instead of re turning to his home, however, his dead body was brought to Shamokin Monday, for oil hi-t last run ho had fallen under the cars. Snyder's train was pissing near Tamaqua, Saturday morning, wheu the accident occurred. As he was tightening a brake the stick slip ped and he fell between the oars. A fellow brakeman saw him fall, but three cars had passed over him before the train was stopped. Both legs of the unfortunate- brake man were cut off. He was taken to the Miners' Hospital at Fountain Springs, where he died. His brother and sister Were with him when he passed away. Champion Steer. Joseph Smith of this place yesterday bought a steer of C. II Kishel, Coop er township,which was 21 months old and weighed 1310 pounds. EXERCISE FOR THE SUMMER Notwithstanding the approach of spring there is no perceptible decline of interest shown by the classes in the work of the gymnasium at the Y. M. C. A. As late as Tuesday uight there were still twenty-four men on the floor. The highest number attained by the class is thirty-five. The tug-of-war and the medicine ball recently installed as sports at the gymnasium have attained a wonderful popularity. Owing to the vigorous nature of the exercise, after a hard evening's work the tug of war is some times omitted, when the medicine ball takes its place. It is very interesting to the looker-on wheu either of the two athletic contests are run audit is plainly to be seen that the particip ants get quite as much sport as exer cise out of it. Sports for the summer season aie I now uuder consideration aud among I those that are talked of are base ball, j walking, running, hill climbing,la wn tennis, aud possibly swimming. The base ball under contemplation is purely inter-local in its nature, the members of the association here play ing among themselves. This is one of the sports which will prove very popular. Neither walking nor hill climbing are eutirely new iu the category of sports here. Both were tried last sum mer with some degree of success. Walking, which is oue of the milder forms of exercise, is merely a stroll across country iu which any person can participate. There is always a i leader who sets the pace and the walk ! is a brisk one affording pleuty of stim i ulating exercise. Hill climbing is a more strenuous and !at the same time a more invigorating exercise There are plenty of hills, which rise to the dignity of moun tains. only a short distance from the Y. M. C. A. This is no go-as-you please exercise, but as in walking there is a leader who sets the pace and no one wants to lag behind. Both walkiug aud hill climbing, like run ning, are couducive to much good, when carried ou uuder wiso direction. Lawn teuuis is oue of the established sports of the Y. M. C. A. A liue double court on West Mahouiug street ! has been maintained for a couple of years past aud several of the players have become quite experts. A uumber ot the Y. M. C. A. members are al ready getting ready for lawu tenuis. Physical Director Carpenter is a firm believer iu the efficacy of physical ex ercise to overcome mauy of the ills that flesh is heir to aud ho is careful to work up new forms of exercise ad apted to ail seasons. He lias convert ed not a few working men to his theory that no matter how much bone labor may be iu their employment, yet they need special exercise. Probably for the first year iu the history of the Y. M. C. A. the spectacle may be witness ed of even puddlers of our rolling mills occupyiug a place ou the floor of the gymnasium. In a general way Mr. Carpenter holds that systematic exercise is a remedy for the driuk evil. Iu the majority of instauces, wheu a working man is ad dicted to liquor he has falleu iuto the habit by resorting to stimulants when exhausted with hard work. Mr. Car penter's theory is that by training all the muscles of the body and building up a good vigorous constitution as the result of exercise the wage-earner will be enabled to stand physical labor no matter how hard without recourse to stimulants of any kind. Factory Inspector's Report. The annual report of the State De partment of Factory Inspectors, of which John T. Delaney is the responsi ble head, for the fiscal year ending October 31, 1903, will shortly be issu ed. The report shows that during the year a total ot 307 fatal and 2,400 non fatal accidents occurred in the estab lishments over which the department has control. Of the fatal accidents 207 were either t-ha result of unavoidable causes or accidents, for the prevention of which the factory laws do uot con tain any provisions, and 1,550 of the non-fatal accidents were of like char acter. The report states that upon investiga tion it was found that the prevailing opinion that the factories, workshops aud mercantile establishments of Pennsylvania were employing count less numbers of children in defiance of law is erroneous. The estimate of the department, based upon returns from every county in the state, shows that uot more than 36,000 boys and girls between the ages of 13 aud 10 years are employed in the several industries over which the department has juris diction aud that six aud one half per cent, of this number were illegally employed at some time during the year covered by the report. The report also states that an an alysis of the inspection of "sweat shotis" does not indicate that these shops are a menace to health aud the safety of those employed therein or to rhe public, and that the sanitary re quirements of the law have as a result been observed by the proprietors of bakeshops. The report indorses the act euacted by the last legislature for the inspection of vessels engaged in carry ing passengers upon inland lakes. Happy, Healthy Children.

Davis,a r< presentative of tlie Americau Telephon and Telegraph Company arrived in this city from New York yesterday lor the purpose of arriving at some understanding with our Borough Fathers relative to the removal of poles. Linemen in the employ of the above company who were engaged in erect ing new poles on Mill stnct, it will be remembered, were stopped in their work the week before last. At a speci al meeting of Council In Id 011 the 19th insf. it was decided that the poles would have to come oil Mill street and the company was granted permission to re-locate its line on Ferry street. As a result of this hold-up Mr. Davis was sent to this city. The intention was to liohl a special meeting of Coun cil last night to give him a hearing. A quorum was present consisting of Vastine, Lloyd, Dietrich, Keifsnyder, David an I Joseph Gibson, but alter a consultation it was decided not togo into session owing to the absence of the Borough Solicitor, without whose advice they did not feel competent to cope with the matter at issue. They, however, decided to meet the tele phone company's representative in formally and hear what he had to say. Mr. Davis explained his position at length. The American Telegraph and Telephone Company, he said, desired to replace their poles, which are now pretty well worn out, with new ones. In 1891 the Borough Council enacted an ordinance granting his company permission to plant poles in the Bor ough of Danville and designating cer tain streets. He protested against any hold-up in the work of replacing the poles along the streets prescribed and denied the right of the Borough at this day to insist, upon a relocation of the line. Two interesting fa'ts developed dur ing the informal meeting, one being that it was generally unknown even by Council that such a company as the American Telephone and Tele graph Company has poles urocted in the Borough. The other fact discov ered was that the above company al though maintaining fifty-eight poles in Danville has never paid any tax. It was in 1897 that the ordinance was passed imposing tax on poles and repealing all former ordinances. It was on the strength of the latter or dinance that Council claims the right to order a re-location of the line. Mr. Davis took the view that the or dinance of 1891 was in the nature of a contract betweeu two parties and not subject to repeal. A repeal, he held, could only follow for cause, but that the American Telephone and Tel egraph Company has faithfully lived up to all the conditions imposed. As to taxes, he said, his company had never received any notice to pay tax, but that it is ready at any day to pay all that is due from the day that the ordinance imposing tax was passed Mr. Davis said that hi- company by the ordinance of 1891 was hound to coutoriu to certain rules and regula tions which hold good in the Borough and thus will not be found to be any obstacle in the way of street paving. The Borough Council ill take ac tion in the matter a< soon as toe ouu citor returns. WHY IT SUCCEEDS. Because It's for Oue Thiug Only, aud Dan ville is Learning This. Nothing can be good for everything. Doing one thing well brings success. Doan's Kidney Pills do one thiug only. They're for sick kidneys. They cure backache, every kidney ill. Here is evidence to prove it. Mr. Geo. Mifflin, Dentist on Main St., Bloomsburg says:"l procured Doan's Kidney Pills from Moyer Bros. Drug Store for mv brother-in-law Pet er Leiseuring at Bear Cap. H<* suffer ed intensely from kidney and from pain in his back and loins. The usual accompaniments of inactive kidneys were present aud added to his misery. Doan's Kidney Pills which I sent him gave positive relief. He has pretty thoroughly made the merits of this remedy in this section."

Mr. Patton entered the choir of Christ Episcopal church on Good Fri day, 1854. The choir then consisted of the Misses Zulier, Peter Baldy, Jr., and Mr. Patton. After the lapse of half a century all hut one of the quar tette are still living, the member who has passed away being ono of the Misses Zuber. Mr. Patton has not been a regular member of the choir since 1804. Some Facts as to the Bridge. Now that the river bridge is reach ing tiie (inal or passing stage ot its history there is much discussion relat ing to its past,very few persons agree ing as to dates, etc. To settle these mooted questions the following facts have been gleaned by W. B. Rhodes from notes made by h's father, the late.l, t the meet ing it was stated that the contracts had all been awarded and that possi bly within a week, cartainly in two weeks,a free ferry would In? establish ed. The Northumberland County Com missioners, who from the first have been favorable to •» free ferry, have left the matter wholly in the bauds of the Montour County board, who with out any loss of time are to proceed to establish a ferry. The contract for the 112 rry boat has been awarded to Hoover Bros., of South Danville, an I they will at once enter upon the work of building it. It will be a flat boat sixty loot loug and eighteen feet wide and can be complet ed in a week. John Mowrey, this city, will erect the poles for supporting the cable. There will be two of these each forty-live lent in length. The cable and fixture? are being procured through Hardware Dealer J. H. Cole. Tl ie landing places for the ferry will be, 011 this side of the river, between Ferry and Fine strei • - and on the South Danville side, at t::* old public road at the Pennsylvania i ail road com pany's tank jut a ; ow* Hoover Bros.' planing mill. One man can opt r.ite the ferry, but in all probability it will have to be ran oil two tnrus. which will neces sitate the employment of two men. To be ot service to the general public j many urge that the ferry should begin J running as early as o'clock in the morning, as it is at that hour when | the change of puddlers occurs in the various rolling mills. There are a good many mill men comprising both puddlers and helpers who live in Soutli Danville and Riverside. More Riots.

EXAMINED THE _ HIGHWAY The Assistant Highway Commission er George D. Statler airived in this city yesterday afternoon and accom panied by County Commissioners, C. W. Cook, George M. Leighow and Henry Cooper examined the road be tween this city and Mausdale for which state aid is asked. The assistant Highway Commission er spent some time at tlio Court House explaining the provisions of the Sproul's Road Law in detail to the County Commissioners. One of the points cleared up on which there was some doubt before was whether or not the whole amount of Montour coun ty's share under the act $17(51.06, would be used in the improvement of the road between Danville and Mausdale, embraced in the petition, or whether a certain proportion of it would be re served for roads in other parts of the county covered by other applications. The assistant Highway Commissioner explained that the entire sum would be applied to the road between here aud Mausdale. lu Montour County there is but one 1 application for State aid whereas in ; some coan'i «, which are entitled to I but two mi'e- of toads, there are as many as a dezeu applications. While in our county, therefore, there is at present no quest ion as tu where the money sh juld go in other counties the Highwtv department faces a com plicated problem and much figuring is j necessary before it is decided which | roads in the county should receive the j repairs. The Assistant Highway Commission er took occasion to commend the choice , of the County Commissioners aud the supervisors interested in their selec tion ot the road leading to Mausdale for State aid because not only of its | had condition hut also of its import ance as an avenue of travel. County Surveyor, George W. West, also ac companied the Assistant Highway Commissioner over the road. At Mausd .Ie Mr. Statler took the evening train for his home.

As the last vestige of snow and ice melts from the hillsides and the val leys the full extent of the blight and the desolation wrought by the long and severe w inter stands out in bold relief. Never did the landscape seem so nearly void ot every vestige oi life. The fields over the long ridges lie scorched and brown audit is only here and there that a wheat field shows more than a suggestion of green. Even on the river bottoms where owing to the strength of the soil and the shelter afforded wiuter is gener ally less marked in its effects the fields this spring show little if any signs of life. It is indeed in the low lands that the scene of the greatest desolation presents itself, as in ad dition to tlio general aspect of drea riness the farmer has before hiui the ruin and disorder occasioned by the flood. The laud at many places has been washed beyond repair; the fences have been leveled or entirely swept away, while the fine trees which grew on the bank along the river have been partially or wholly uprooted aud torn and splintered by the deluge of ice which swept over them. The blighted aspect of things especi ally the unpromising condition of the wheat fields is in marked contrast to what was witnessed last spring at this time. Prospects on the whole are not favorable feir a good crop of wheat. Most of the damage, it is said, was done during the early pari of the p.e->- ent month, wlieu the fields bar; of snow were ''scorched" by the high winds and hard feezing. Many farmers incline to the view that the w heat will rally should spring weather follow immediately, giving us an abundance of sunshine and rain during April. Conference Will Meet in Berwick.
