Sev eral important matters were acted up on. Water Superintendent Keefer report ed a bad leak on First street, Welsh Hill. The pipe was laid about twenty years ago by tiie Heading Iron Com pauy at its own expense to supply eighteen company houses. The pipe, which connects with the main ou Chambers street and is 275 feet long, after the lapse of time is worn out and will have to bo renewed. Several of the cellars are badly flooded. The Reading Iron Company in view of the expense it has already incurred feels that it should not be obliged to replace *.he pipe and asks the Bor ough, which has profited by the exten sion, to look after the matter. The Board concurred in this view and ou motion of Mr. Schatz it was ordered that the Borough repair the pipe. On motion of Mr. Schatz the Super intendent was instructed to extend the water main on Ferry street from Spruce to Hemlock street. He will immediately begin the work. On motion ot Mr. Oorman the water main will also be extended on Walnut street to take in the dwellings between Pine and Bloom streets. The insecure condition of the water works was discussed at length. It was decided to secure the wall ou the in side of the pump room by iron trusses. The Superintendent reported only a limited supply of coal ou hand at the water works barely enough to last two weeks. During a year past river coal has been used for the boilers with excellent results, not the least import ant beiug the big saving of money effected. The question to settle is whether the coal on hand will last un til the river becomes normal and the coal digger can begin work. It was re ported that Mr. LeDuc, who has the contract for supplying the water works, has been working on his coal digger aud has everything in readiness for launching it and beginning work when the ice has passed down aud the river falls sufficiently. Meanwhile the Commissioners will wait hoping for a favorable turn of the tide. Presented With Handsome Chair. A farewell reception at St. Paul's M. E. church last night was tendered the Rev. Harry Cortin Harman, retir ing pastor, who has been transferred to the First Methodist church at Mil ton. Some three hundred people were present ami the reception has gone on record as one of the most felicitous events of its kind that ever took place at St. Paul's. A program of music and recitatious was rendered, which occupied about an boor. The principal entertainer of the evening was W. J. Roger-*, who rendered three selections in his inimit able and effective style. Miss Moyer, Mis 9 Books and MissCousarc rendered a trio, which was much enjoyed. A solo by Miss Madge Sanders was also very fine. As a token of the high esteem in which lie is held by the people to whom he has ministered during nearly four years Rev. Harry Curtin Harman was presented with an exceedingly band some Morris chair. The presentation took place immedi ately after the program was rendered, the address being delivered by C. H. Royce, Superintendent af Castle Grove. Mr. Royoe paid a tine tribute to the retiring pastor,who in point of attain ments and ability as well as his un impeachable Christian character he ac corded a place in the highest class of Christian divines. On behalf of the congregation he expressed much regret at the thought of parting, but being Methodists, he said, they had learned to submit gracefully to the will of those in whose hands the appointments rest. Rev. Harman responded In a most appropriate manner, his remarks be iug full of feeling at the thought of parting and reflecting a spirit of deep gratitude both for the valuable gift it self and the beautiful expression of sentiment it called forth. He was frank to confess that he would have liked to remain in Danville at least another year, but it was willed other wise aud nothing remained for him but to obey. In conclusion refreshments consist ing of cake and coffee were served. 112 ————— Entertained. The Goodwill Society was entertain ed by Mr. aL.d Mrs. William Warner at their home in Liberty township on Monday evening in honor of Mr. »nd Mrs. William Maiuzer. Mr. aud Mrs. Maiuzei will soon leave for their home in Minneapolis. The evening was spent in playing cards and excellent refreshments were served. Those pres ent were: Mr. and Mrs. William Leidy, Mr. and Mrs. William Patter son, Mr and Mrs. William Maiuzer, Mr. and Mrs. Willaul Pannebaker, Mr. and Mrs. William Staruer, Misses Wilda Pannebaker and Sara Foresman. Owing to the absence of Mr. Car penter, physical director of the Y. M. C. A., there will be no class in the gymnasium this evening SHOE FACTORY !l IS ASSURED The new industry in the form of a shoe manufactory is practically assur- i ed to Dauville. Affairs relating to the project aloug all lines are drifting on to success. The appeal made by the Board of Trade to the citizens of Dan ville for subscriptions to aid in putting the old school building iu repair has been responded to iu a fairly liberal way and there seems no doubt but that the six huudred dollars required can be raised. The Board of Trade has secured possession of the building for five years. J. H. Goeser met with the School Board last night, which convened in a special session to consider the matter of leasing the old building to the Board of Trade. Messrs. Keefer, Orth, Burns, Pursel, Greene, Werkheiser, Von Blohn, Fischer. Hancock aud Adams were present at the meeting along with Raplli Kisner, Attorney for the School Board. Mr. Goeser as Chaiimau of the Board of Trade explained the proposition to the directors. The building has not been used for school purpose for many vears. Whether the school Board has any longer a title to the property is not clear. Certain it is that they have practically abandoned it and the build ing since vacated as a knitting mill has nearly gone to ruin. It is window less aud in need of a roof and floors, while a portion of its foundation wall has been carried away. Mr. Goeser merely askt-d that the School Board lease to the promoters of the enterprise its right and title to the old building. The School Board has no deed for the property and it seems to be the generally accepted view that having ahandoued the use of the building for school purposes it would be pretty difficult for the Board to establish a claim to the property. Mr. Kisner stated that lie had beeu in correspondence with the Reading Iron Company and finds that while they lay a claim to the mineral right they have nothing to show that they are the actual owner of the land. Mr. Hancock moved the Flat school property be leased to the Board of Trade for a period of five years with privilege of renewal at an annual rental of two dollars. The motion was seconded by Mr. Greene and carried unanimously. On motion the Solicitor was in structed to draw up a lease and the officers of the School Board to the same. A HELPING HAND. . Is Gladly Extended by a Danville Citizen. There are many enthusiastic citizens i in Danville prepared to tell their ex . peri?nce for the public good. Testi s inony from such a source is the best of evidence, aud will prove a "helping . hand" to scores of readers. Read the • following statement: I David R.

Dauiel Hess is a solid aud » respected citizen of Mifflinville and > owns a fine farm down along the riv er at Stouytown ferry. Amoug the i stock there are a lot of fine milch cows i that have the run ot the barnyard, r During the recent fiood the water got 3 into the barnyard to the depth of a • couple ot feet and noticing that the cows were not giving their usual amount of milk au investigation was . made. It was found that a number of big carp had made their way into the 5 barnyard with the high water, and every time a cow waded into the wat ! er she would soon have a carp fasten - ed ou each teat. The fish would hang • on until the supply of milk was ex - hausted, aud then drop off and wait 1 for another cow to enter the water. 1 After the fish were compelled to re t turn to the river ou account of the ! subsiding of the water the cows again 1 gave their normal supply of milk. 3 The "Volunteer Orpnist" Company. During the season of 11>01 1 i)O2 the 1 " Volunteer Organist" was presented throughout the United States aud Can ' ada by three distinct companies, each ' carrying its own special scenery aud mechanical effects. It appears that in ' some cities an impression prevailed s that those who saw company number three or number two were not so well 1 treated as the play-goers who witness ed the production by company nuoo- J ber one. Nothing could be further from the truth. As a matter of fact the companies were of equal merit, while the three sets of sceueiy were exactly alike. The companies sent out this season - are made up principally from the play r ers who were most successful last sea- J son, so that the present production of I"The Volunteer Organist" at least in • a histrionic sense, will be far in ad -9 vanco of that of all previous oues, phenomenally great as the triumph ot t the drama last year was. The organ • ization which presents "The Vclnn -1 teer Organist" in Danville Tuesday, - April 12th, is company number one, . and will present as fine a cast and as . perfect an equipment as any attraction • offered this year to the public.

The cordial feeling which many Am ericans hold for Russia as the tradi tional friend of the I'nited States is expressed in an offer ot $')O,000 which Mr. James Stokes has forwarded the Society for the Moral Improvement ot I Young Men in St. Petersburg One of the conditions named by Mr. Stokes is ' that SIOO,OOO more be raised in Russia for this building. There is little doubt but that this will be done, as many of the leading men of Russia j. are backing the organization. The head of the Society is Prince Olden- bourg, who is closely ielated to the Czar. Prince Hilkoff, Minister of the RUSBinn Railroads,is a deeply interest ed member, and proposes to organize I railroad Associations at the division ( points on the Russian railways. The Chamber of Commerce and banking I institutions of St. Petersburg sub t scribe liberally each year to the As- I sociatiou's support. Mr. Stokes took the initiative in establishing this Association at St. Petersbuig in 1H!»7, when he succeeded [ in interesting the Czarina, who accord ed to him a special audience. Mr. I Stokes secured as organizing secre tary of the Association Mr. Franklin Gaylord, who had developed a similar enterprise initiated by Mr. Stokes in i Paris. In the St. Petersburg Associa t tiou membership 2,000 men have been i enrolled, and the limit of capacity to I accommodate the crowds of young I men seeking membership has been - reached in its present rooms. In the » educational classes there were 580 men ' and a larger number in its gymnasium. Several religious meetings and Bible t classes are conducted. The movement i has been given permission by the Gov } eminent to extend it branchos through 1 out Russia.and its secretary given the 5 unusual favor of free transportation 112 over all the railroads, the pass being i issued by the Czar himself. I The American International Com - mittee, through its representative, Mr. - C. J. Hicks, has co-operated in shap ; ing the organization. Italy, France and Russia have re t cognized Mr. Stokes' notable services in behalf of young men ot those coun - tries by conferring upon him decora ? tions of the first class. i A buzaar is to be held, May ♦>, in Washington in behalf of the Russian branch of the Red Cross Society, in which Her Imperial Majesty, the 3 Empress, is deeply interested.

TAMAQUA LOSES j 10 DANVILLE The largest crowd of the season as sembled in the Armory ou Saturday t night to witness the game of basket ball between tho Danville High School aud Tamaqua. The latter team has a tine record and is supposed to be ono of the crack teaius of this part of the State. Add to this the fact that our own team has foiged to the front as first class players and has been uni formly piling up victories during the winter and it will be seen that condi tions on Saturday uight were favor able for a battle royal. This is precisely what the big crowd expected to see and they were not dis appointed. The visitors sustained their reputation and shown! some good playing, especially Weaver and Rhub eriglit who as goal throwers would be bulwarks of strength to any team. Their only disadvantage Saturday night lay in the fact that they were up against a better team and while they scored 80 points our High School boys went several better and scored 30. The contest was most of the tiuie close aud a faster or a more exciting game has not been witnessed on the Armory floor in a long time. The flue work at passing the ball was a feature of the game. Barber had 8 goals to his credit and lie threw several of them under circumstances decidedly ad verse. Lawrence won vociferous ap plause by a feat of dribbling the | ball. The line up: D. H. S.

Tbe Time Limit. , An interesting feature of the woik t of the Wyoming conference in session at Wilkesbarre was the adoption of a , resolution favoring the restoration ot , the time limit in the ministry. , The resolution which was offered by , Rev. M. D. Fuller, is as follows: " Whereas, Believing that a time limit is necessary to the preservation of our timehonored itineracy; therefore be it Resolved, That we memorialize the General Conference to restore a time limit aud we hereby request our dele , gates to make and vote for the same." In the brief debate ou tbe resolution it was shown that the ministers favor ed the restoration of tho old system j under which Methodism has made such , phenomenal growth. It is now almost , certain that it will receive the ap proval of the General Conference which meets in Los Angeles shortly. A Laughing Show at the Opera House.

MERCHANTS BUSY I SATURDAY NIGHT That Easter is more and more par taking of the nature of Christmas iu its association with toys and the ex- | | change of gilts wa- well demonstrated on Saturday night, when Mill street ( presented an appearance which only could be compared with the night be iore Christ mas. The windows of our several confec tioneries during last week were mar vels to the little ones ; t lie egt» aud the rabbit were the central idea,but among the odd and unique toys were to be found every shape that lives and, it might be added,some that do not live. Nevertheless all pleased the little ones. These .--tores svere crowded Sat urday night, which shows how promin ent a part the nursery has come to play in the celebration of - the most glorious day of the year in all tint it commemorates and in all that it prom ises to the human race. Many gifts of late are exchanged at this season and th Ea-ter gift in tho larger cities ha- become nearly as popular as the Christmas gift. The custom is growing almost every where and even in tho smaller towns it helps to increase the volume of business. In its relation to millinery and the fashion plate Easter stands unique in the festival days or the year. The "Easter bonie t' aud spring finery are indissolubly linked with this season and Easter brings not only a awaken j ing of trade in nursery articles but i along other and more important lines, j Speaking for our own merchants they 1 all report a fair Eastei trade. | A Great Sensation. .

A raw west wind 1 was blowing, in the face of which the -un'.- ray's seemed to have little pow er; the wind was peculiarly chilling ' in its effects. Few people cared to ' loiter out of doors and the streets were practically deserted all day. The weather was conducive to a large attendance at church. Every lious" of worship was well filled. Tho universal theme of tbe pulpit was j "The Risen Lord" and without ex ception tbe sermons represented the ' pastor' best aud most eloquent efforts. ' Add to this tho beautiful Easter dec orations and the sublime music that 1 hud I een prepared and it will be seen that the day which has been observed for nineteen Christian centuries as the ' greatest day of the year was fittingly s observed in Danville. Many of the churches or the Sunday- Schools rendered an appropiiate Easter program, at the morning or tho even • ing service, which was printed iu these columns on Saturday or in issues - ; preceding. A Busy Day far Launches. The f'.vo naphtha launches, pending x the completion ot the free ferry, have j become important )a"tors iu the pas seuger traffic between this city and j- ' South Danville. During the high west wind which prevailed all day Saturday when none ot the row boats could safely venture across, the little launches were as busy a- bees and lilled with passengers | rode the big wav - safely and made the best of time. As a HI titer of fact the river Ins not j rolled up bigger waves in mauy years 1 than on Saturday. Several causes cou ( i spired to produce this effect. First, the wind, which blew a perfect gale, j swept directly up the stream; second, the river was high affotdinga big vol , uine ot water for the wind to act up on. In midstream the waves were such as few could remember of ever having seen at this place. During the greater ( part of the afternoon none of the row f boats would venture to cross. The launches although tossed about on the waves like corks worked ad , ■ mirably.the propelling apparatus nev ( er once failing. The crews, too, have j developed pretty fair seamanship and t the public were very glad that there ( was one means left of gettiug across t tho stream. A few of (he more timid on reaching the river declined to ven tuie in the "heavy seas," but those who crossed enjoyed the experience of being tossed about ou the waves. A large crowd of people pietty much all day might hive been seen on either ? shore watching the antics of the little I launches. i Good For Children.

The expected communication from the D. L. & W. Kail road Company has arrived, approving of ttie Bor ough's plans and granting it full per mission to proceed with the work. The communication, which fully sets forth the attitude ot the present own ers toward the removal of the bridges, is herewith piesented in full: Hoboken, N. J., April I. 11(01. Mr. H. B. Patton, Danville, Pa. Dear Sir:—l have your recent cor respondence in reference to tbe ab andonment ot the Mill street aud the Ferry street bridges at Danville and have had our Division Engineer, Mr. Ray, look into this proposition and he considers that au opening four feet in width to the height of the canal would be sufficient audit will be satisfact ory to tliis company to have you ar range to fill up the canal bed aud put in au opening the size mentioned, the understanding being that you have the privilege of using the existing materi al in tin! bridges at Mill and Ferry streets as per the contract yon had with the Pennsylvania Canal Company before this company purchased the canal right of way. Yours truly, L. BUSH, Chief Engineer. The question still remaining for the Borough to decide is whether to em j ploy men and remove the bridges it | self or to ci'e the work out under i coutract. The matter will no doubt come up for consideration at special meeting of Council tonight, which will be held for the purpose of giving property owners an opportunity to state their objections, if any exist, tc the street paving proposition.

BAD BREAK IN WATER IAIN The damage sustained by the water mains from the hard freezing of last wintet, it was thought, lud beeu all repaired, hut from a discovery made | yesterday it docs not seem unlikely that some had break* may yet come to the surface. A leak in the water main on Ash street above Spruce wan detected Sun day. Yesterday morning a force of men were put to work excavating for the purpose of locating the break. By at teruoon a wholly unexpected state of affairs revealed themselves. For a distance of sixty feet the four-inch pipe was found hursted or damag 1 to such an extent as to make it necessary to replace it with new. The main at this point lies along tlio slope of the hill and only two feet. I below the surface. The main was froz en solid so that notwithstanding the ( damaged condition of the pipe uu ( water escaped until thawing set in, I which was not until Saturday or Sun day. It is thought that the water main when sunk ou Ash street was placed f at the regulation depth,out that along the hill side, where the freezing oc curied, in process of many years tin ground was washed from the surface | a little at a time until only two feel remained to protect tho pipe.
