WATER WAINS
The Board ol Water Commissioners
held a meeting yesterday afternoon
with 11. L. Gross ia the chair. 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.

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

son, Mr and Mrs. William Maiuzer,
Mr. and Mrs. Willaul Pannebaker,

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. Jones of 401 Church Street,
i printer, says :—"Doau's Kidney Pills
did me much good. They cured me of
an enervating backache and lameness
j across the kidneys. I might say that
• I bad aching all through me juot be
fore I began usiug them. It commenc
ed with sharp stitches just over my
hips, and later on I had a great deal
rf pain through my forehead aud in

) Espy has until this time employed a
■ monopoly on freak Hood stories, but it
will have to yield now to Mifflin
I township. 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

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 funeral of Mrs. Sarah Sherwood,
. Ash r-treet, took place yesterday after
noon at 2 o'clock and was very large

The services were conducted by Rev.
1 Dr. MoCormack, pastor of the Grove
Presbyterian church. The pall bear

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.

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.

Chilly Weather for Easter.
The weather Sunday, Easter, was
clear, but that is*about all that can
be said in its favor. 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.

OKIES OF CANAL
BEARD ROD
The last obstacle in the way of tak
ng down the canal bridges has now
been removed and this important im
provement will no doubt iu a short
time be under way.
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.
Robbed the Grave,
j A startling incident, is narrated by

My skin was almost yellow,eyes sunk
' en, tongue coated, pain continually in
1 back and sides, no appetite, growing
weaker day by day. Three physicians
had given me up. Then I was adviser
i to use Electric Bitters: to my greal
joy, the first bottle made a decider
improvement. I continued their ust
1 for three weeks, and aiu now a wel
man. I know they robbed the gravt
: of another victim." No one shoulc

■ I extensively by his competitors, wliicl
1 ! is the siucerest flattery and the hes

Ferry Completed This Week
Notwithstanding the delay incurred
it now seems probable that the fret
i ferry may he established during tin
. present week. The forty-five foot pole
and the anchor belonging to it were
planted ou this side of the stream Sat
urday and yesterday Mr. Mowery aud
his men went across the river and be
gan work on the pole to be planted
t here.
Hoover Bros, have had the flat boat
ready for assembling for some days
past, but have been unable to proceed
with the work for the want of a suit
able spot for putting the boat togeth
er and launching it. The township
has now come to their relief and will
widen out and grade a portion ot tbe
road to he used in connection with the
ferry so as to atlord sufficient room
near the water's edge for putting the
boat together. From now ou work
will proceed rapidly.
Installed a Piano.
A Schumacher Piano has been in
stalled in the Sunday School Room of
the First. Baptist Church. The fine
instrument will prove a valuable addi
tion, imparting an additional interest
to tbe exercises.
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. Watei
Superintendent Keefer stat< s that hi
would not be surprised if there wer>
other spots in the Borough where tin
same state of affairs prevails and thai
hursted water pipes may show up dur
ing the next few days where the wat
er up to the present has been belt
back by the ice,
, I A break occurred in the service pipi
t near the residence of R. W. Eggert
j East Mahoning street,which necessita
ed an exeavat i extending to the mid
•lie of the str r. Itepairs were madt
yesterday.
