He is assisted by George Klase and John Gorman, of this city. Ties furnished by A. O. Walker of Northumberland have now been dis tributed along the track from the rail road crossing on Bloom street to the Borough limits. The ties nro obtain ed at Pursel's slope and are unloaded in piles of about 30 some twenty-live yards apart.

A corporation of Christian gentle men, members of the Young Men's Christian Association and of other Christian societies, lias recently been formed with the design of securing the Silver Bay Hotel property on Lake George, which was equipped at a cost of sl4o,ooo,and is one of the most pop ular and advantageously situated ho tel properties on the lake. A very low price has been named on the property, which will enable this corporation to put at the disposal of members of the Young Men's Christiau Association and of other organizations in the East and Canada one of the most attractive and popular summer vacation resorts. The Association has occupied the ho tel for two summers as a vacation re sort and conference headquarters,with an average of nearly 700 guests. The property consists of 1,000 acres of land, over half a mile'of lake front and one of the choicest swimming beaches on the lake, and runs nearly two miles back from the hotel into the wilder ness. The property contains two Ad irondack lakes, stocked with bass. Diverging from the hotel are miles and miles of mountain trails. This is no new business for the Y. M. C. A. It has for twenty years con ducted camps and summer headquart ers, although this hotel will be the largest affair of the kind in the coun try. Last year the Association had nearly 6,000 men and boys in its 200 camps and vacation resorts throughout North America. Western men have met at Lake Geneva at a similar place to Silver Bay for seventeen years, with increasing success and popularity. This will not be merely a vacation resort for members of the Association. An hour each morning will he given to Bible study under popular leaders,and on several evenings each week there will be addresses by many of the strongest and most popular speakers to men in the country. There will be present throughout the summer in structors in nature study, amateur photography, sketching, athletics, swimming, etc. A training institute for secretaries, physical directors and other officers of the Y. M. O. A. will be held August 1 to September 4 and a boys' confer ence August 80 to September 4. Last year there were 200 delegates from seventeen Associations from nineteen states and provinces at the boys' meet ing. There is no attempt in this under taking to make money, but to provide the best possible vacation resort at cost. The object is in accord with the Association's purpose of providing things clean, wholesome and popular for young men in their leisure time. This vacation resort is among the very best features of the organization. Reception for Bride and Groom. A reception was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James McCracken, near Mausdale, yesterday in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Bruce A. McOrackeu, who were married last week. An excellent dinner was served.

Hostelley, of this city. Norman spent his oarly boyhood at the parental home in this oity,leaving here about four years ago. One year ago lust February he enlisted iu the Navy and since then as may be in ferred his life has been an adveutu rous one. On board the historic Hartford he was cruising about the West In dies during last winter. A great deal of the time was put iu about San Domingo, where owing to the turbul ent state of affairs on the island the presence of the Hartford was noedod to protect American vessels. The young sailor says he liuds life in the navy very pleasant ami not as arduous as many persons suppose it to bo. The apprentices assist in coaling the vessel aud this is probably the hardest work that the boys are obliged to take part iu. The opportunities for physical development are tine. In tak iii K their lessons in practical teaman - ship the boys are obliged togo aloft, whenever required aud thus tliey de velop all the fearlessness and hardi hood, which belongs to the sailor's make-up. The boys aie given lessons in handl ing the great guns aud thus have an opi»ortunity of becoming export gun ners and of making their services ex ceedingly valuable to Uncle Sam Add to this (lie constant change of scene and the opportunities for sight seeing in remote parts of the world and it will be seen that whatever there may be arduous and unpleasant in the Navy there is on the other hand plenty to recommend it to a wide awake ambi tious boy. Mr. Hostelley arrived in this city on Saturday afternoon. He will spend a brief furlough witti his father here, after which he will report at the New York Navy Yard.

Surely the experi ence of friends and neighbors, cheer fully given by them, will carry more weight than the utterances of strang ers residing in far away places. K<'ad the following: Mrs. Edward H. Lunger of II Church St., says:"l suffered much from pain in my back that I could not sleep nights. The pain over my hips was continuous and when ou my feet it was one steady gnawing ache. It hurt me to do anything requiring bending over, aud sharp twinges would catch me so suddenly that I had to brace my back against something until they stopped. The kidney secretions an noyed me aud headaches accompanied the backache. I read about Doan's Kidney Pills and in the statements of those who had boon cured the symp toms were so much like mine that my husbaud procured a box for me. They did me more good than any medicine I over tried. Ino longer had any back ache and was fr> e from any embarrass ment caused from the secretions.

The question now being discussed iu National Guard circles is," Will there be a permanent camping ground select ed for the Guard's nse under the act of 1903?" This act created a commis sion consisting of Adjutant Gemral Stewart, Auditor General Hardeu bergh. State Treasurer Harris, Major Geoeral Charles Miller, Brigadier Generals Gobin, SV'iles and Schall. The commission was voted 135,000 to sel ect aud purchase a site for a permanent camp containing not less tiiau 300 acres nor more than 350 acres, at an average price per aore of not more than #IOO. Before the purchase may be con summated the Governor, as Command er-in-Chief of the National Guard, must approve of the location, size and price. Up to the present time the Commission has held but one meeting, aud that at Gettysburg,going over the field to ascertaiu whether an available site could be fonnd there, and not ar riving at any definite conclusion. The matter is as yet in abeyance, and no time lias been fixed for another meet ing of the Commission. Adjutant General Stewart said last week that lie had not heard that the project of a State camp has been ab andoned because the United States contemplates a permanent camp at Mt. Gretna, and did not care to discuss the matter because, as he said, every thing is indefinite. The action of Con gress in refusing to consider and dis jiose of the permanent camp site mat ter at the session that closed last week may have the effect of causing the Pennsylvania Commission to look around for a site. There have leen otfered—Gettysburg, Mt. Gretna aud Somerset.and there is said to be a nice site in the Juniata Valley that might be secured, but until the Commission holds a meeting there will be nothing definite in the matter. A Oure For Piles. "I had a had case of piles," says G. F. (Jarter, of Atlanta, Ga., "and con sulted a physician who advbed me to try a box of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. I purchased a box aud was en tirely cured. It is splendid for piles, giving relief instantly, and I heartily recommend it to all suflerers." De- Witt's Witch Hazel iralve is unequalled for its healing qualitios. Eczema aud other skin diseases, also sores, cuts, bums and wounds of every kind are quickly cured by it.

'lhe statistics gathered by the Weath er Bureau in Philadelphia during the last month show it to have been the coldest April since 1874. The mean temperature for the month was 49 de grees, which was 2.2 degrees below the normal April weather for the last thirty years and 4 degrees lower than April of la*t year. The coldest days of tlie mouth were the 11th and 20th, the former having been 14 degrees below normal and the latter 17. The warmest days were the 25th, which was 12 degrees above normal, and the 7th. which was 10 de grees above the average. Out of the thirty days of the mouth the temperature was below normal ou twenty days. The only warm spell was duiing the sth, 6th, 7th, Hth and •Jt.li. The lowest temperature was 29 degrees, on the 4th anil 20th, and the highest was 79 degrees on tlie 35th. The average precipitation, or raiu fall, was J. 89 inches Thin was 1.08 inches less than normal and the small est amount since 1899. The total snow fall was a trace on the 13th, 14th and 20th.

MOVEMENT TO BEBOILD DAB The people will without a doubt bo highly pleased to learn that there is a movement contemplated leading to the rebuilding of the dam, which was BO badly damaged by tho ice and high water. Even with the rains of the past few days three rows of timbers, about two and one-half feet iu depth, of the Reading bridge aro and have been ex posed for some time aud with the wator still falling as the weather gets warmer more of the cribbing will be exposed and the railroad company realizes that repairs to the cribbing will havo to be made within at least six months time. With the water gradually receding tho sewers emptying into the river are exposed, some of them to a distance of three feet, aud with the advent of warm weather if prompt action is not taken an epidemic of disease will 6u ely prevail and there is no tolling what the result or where tho end would be. Roalizing that something must he I done an effort will be made to secure J the hum of money required to rebuild the dam by popular subscription and everybody will be given the chance of showing their appreciation of Sun bury's formerly boasted beautiful riv er. The officials of the railroad com panies will be called upon aud aro ex pected to give liberally as it will bo necessary to do oue thing or the other, repair their bridge piers or financially aid the plans for a #ew dam. North umberland, Selinsgrovo and the other nearby towns will be asked to contri bute and if every body gets "the spirit" the new dam is assured. The argument lias been advanced that the railroad companies would hesitate to ward contributing toward a new dam and instead to save their piers would concrete them, but wheu taking into consideration that to concreto their piers would cost from fifty to one hun dred thousand dollars it seems certain that they would rather give half this I sum towards the dam believing that 1 the cribbing of their piers would bo protected. The plans so far formulated are not yet complete but the movement has j started aud the people back ot it aro ! sincere in then intentions aud plans will soon be completed and made J known.—Sunbury Item. . May Weather iu Past Years. '; May, has maintained iu the fifteuti years during which records havo been compiled at the Harrisburg weather bureau, an aveiage temperature of sixty two degrees, but it has gone as high as sixty-six iu 1896. The highest temperature recorded in this sectiou during the month was May 30, 1895, when tho thermometer went up to niney-five degrees and the coldest May day on the books was May 2, 1903 when thirty-four was the point to which the meroury fell. May's rainfall is only 4-15 inches iu the average, although the rainiest known May, iu 1889, the yi>ar of the Johnstown flood,the precipitation was slightly over nine and one-lialf inches. Two years ago the outire rain that fell during the mouth amounted to little over a quarter of an inch. The day ' whioh brought the raiu that caused the Johnstown flood aud the record breaking rising of the Susquehanna, May 31, 1896, 6.16 inches ot ruin fell here. Tho average hourly velocity of the winds of May is seven miles and the average numbers of clear days is nine, the remainder being twelve oioudy and ten partly cloudy. A Startling Test. To save a life. Dr. T. O. Merriatt, of No. Mehoopany, Pa., made a start ling test resulting in a wonderful cure. He writes, "a patient was attacked with violent hemorrhages, caused l»y ulceration of the stomach. I had often found Electric Bitters excellent for acute stomach and liver troubles so 1 prescribed them. The patient gained from the first, and lias not had an at tack in 14 months." Electrio Bitters are positively guaranteed for Dyspep sia.ludigestion,Constipation and Kid ney troubles. Try them. Ouly 500. at Paules & Co., Druggist. The Reading Railroad in '47. The "Bloomsburjj Daily"of April 4th republishes a number of News items, etc., originally printed in tho "Columbian Democrat," of Blooms burg. September 4th, 1847, among which we find the following item : "The Heading Railroad--'lhe amount of business on the Reading Railroad the most perfect road of the kind in the United States—exceeds that of any other railroad in the world. Besides passenger cars, there are in constant use seventy-fivo locomotives and -1,200 coal cars.'' The comparison between 1847 as jier above article and the present time is certainly interesting. The article states theie were in con stant use 75 locomotives ; the annual report of October last gives the num ber of locomotives as !)27,0f which 514 were freight and coal engines. The 4,200 coal cars was considered a large number; the last report gives the num ber of coal cars as 24,12!); tho increase in numbers seems great, and when it is considered that the cars mentioned were the old sty le four wheel hoppers, holding about fi tons and that the present cars have a capacity of from 20 to 50 tons, the increase seems enormous. It is noticeable that the writer claims that the Reading is "the most perfect road of the kind in the United States. " This assertion would be challenged to day iu some respects by several of the laige railroad systems,hut they would have to acknowledge that the Read ing System stands pre-eminent in tho arrangement. equipment and sp"od of itH Passseuger Trains. Two of the instances of this are 'Reading's Sixty-Minute Flyers to Atlantic City" and the system of 1 'Hourly Trains between Philadelphia tud New York," swift express trains 1 leaving both Terminals "Every Hour —oil tho Hour" from 7 a. in.to 7p.

When the works were built, some twenty years ago, the office was in stalled at the eastern extremity of the plant. The location was soon found to be open to objection not only be cause of the insufficiency of light, but also because of the unsanitary condi tions prevailing. The entire spot orig inally was a swamp and with every wet spell the water accumulates about the foundations and under the build ing. With every flood, too, the office is exposed to danger and during the high water in March, the rooms were flooded to the depth of several feet and many valuable books and papers were destroyed or badly defaced. It was, therefore, decided to remove to higher ground and the second story of the large warehouse at the South West corner of the building was sel ected. Here a force of carpenters are at present at work on new quarters. The entire width of the warehouse on the second story will be occapied. Tiie work, which is well under way, shows three large well-lighted apart ments, each of which will be occupied by the clerical force. Besides a priv ate office for the general manager, ; there aro a largo general office and a | vault which will contain the safes. The rooms will be heated by one of the Company's largo cellar heaters in stalled 011 the first floor and they will be nicely finished and furnished. The office will be reached by a stair way constructed on the outside of the building. World's Fair News Notes. Elks' Day at the World's Fair will bo July 26th.

ANOTHER NEW INDUSTRY Judging by developments of the last couple of days it does not seem unlike ly that Danville may have another shoe factory iu the very near future employing a much larger number of men and making altogether another line of goods. A gentleman prominent among shoe manufacturers and representing an old and well-established line of foot wear paid this city a visit Thursday for the purpose of looking over the ground with the view of establishing a branch factory here. The gentleman spent the day with J. H. Goeser, President, and Sam A. McCoy, Secretary of the Board of Trade, and gaiued all the in formation he desired as to the advant ages of the town as a manufacturing site and what inducements the Board of Trade was able to hold out for new industries. He expressed himself as immensely well pleased wtili the town and the opportunities that here pres ent themselves for the business which he represents. The gentleman is interested in the manufacture of ladies' and Misses' shoes of a fine quality. The goods aro carried in stock by at least some of our Danville dealers and they prove a ready seller. The factory proposed will employ 150 to 175 bauds. Tho gentlemen was not prepared yes terday to make a proposition to the Board of Trade. Guided by the infor mation obtained through the visit the shoe manufacturing firm will oome to some conclusion as to terms and it will not be long before the Board of Trade will hear from them. Our Board of Trade may be relied upon togo to a reasonable limit in en cou raging the firm to establish a branch in this city. Through such efforts as tho town was able toexteud the Stock ing factory, now a large and thriving industry, was established. The same assitance awaits the shoe factory or auy other profitable industry which wishes to locate here. When the Sap Rises. Weak lungs should bo careful, coughs and colds are dangerous then.

SECOND PENNA VOLUNTEERS The history of the Second Pennsyl vania Volunteers Artillery, in which local survivors of the war have tak en such a been interest, is now be ing issued from the press and copies are daily expected in this city. The history was written by George W. Ward, Secretary of the Survivors' As sociation. The Second Pennsylvania Volunteers were very intimately associated with Montour county, two of its Colonels toward the close of the war being from Montour, while battery F was largely recruited fioni Danville and vicinity, and contained on its roster the follow ing soldiers well known at the pres ent day : J. P. Bare, Orderly Serge ant; It. W. Kggert, bugler; John Mc- Clure, Clarence Price, Daniel Smith, John Marshall, and George Robison. Others in the company now deceased, but well remembered are: Adam Grantz, Jacob 8. Hendrickson, and Charles Mattis, the latter, Corporal. One of the Colonels was William M. McClure of Danville. When he resigned in 1864 Colonel Samuel Strawbridge ot Liberty township,took command. The latter was a brother of the late Dr. J. D. Strawbridge, who was Chief Sur geon of the 18th Army Corps. The Second Pennsylvania Artillery was in the battle of the Wilderness and took part in the memorable siege of Petersburg and Riohmond. In storming Fort Harris, later known as Fort Barnhaw, the regiment lost 200 men in killed, wounded and missing. It was during this engagement that the late Dr. Strawbridge was taken prisoner preceding his long term of imprisonment in L-ibby prison. A cur ious incident connected with this bat tle is related by the Danville surviv ors. Co'cnel Strawbridge realizing that the r<<:i nent was up against des perate ch-iiie s before the engagement gave I i< # >ti! w itch aud several hun dre 1 (iolUr* in ( ash to his brother, Dr. Strawbriilg", for safo keeping. Col onel Strow! ridge, however, happened to mska liis escape, although in the midst of a perfect hail of bullets, while was the very one to fall into the hands of the South. It Is hardly necessary to add that the gold watch and the money were lost, as the first thing done by the Johnnies was to rob the prisoners of every cents' worth of valuables they possesed. Episodes 'ike these will all be fully treated in the new history and it is said that several Dauville men come in for pretty prominent mention.
