ATTOIET GENERAL
FILES EXCEPTIONS
Attorney General Carson, acting in
behalf of the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania filed exceptions to the report
of the viewers recommending the re
building of the Catawissa bridge over
the North branch of the Susquehanna
river.
The Attorney General takes the posi
tion that it does not come within the
Act of Assembly of Juue 1895 which
provides for the buildingof bridges by
the state. That the destruction of the
bridges was ouly partial, inasmuch as
the original bridge contaiued four
spans and ouly two were carried
away. Another objection raised by
the Attorney Geueral is that the re
port of the viewers recommends the
construction of an entirely new struc
ture with a clear roadway of twenty
four feet, with a foot walk on each
side, six feet in width, while the old
bridgo was but twenty feet wide aud
had no sidewalks. The Attorney Gen
eral also states that the bridge i?- larg
er than the necessities of travel re
quire.
Another objection to the report is,
that the report provides that the truss
of the bridge should be of sufficient
streogth aud proportion to carry a
single track trolley line. Mr. Carson
takes the position that the state should
not lie required to build a bridge for
the benefit of a private corporation.
Divorce Problem Before Presbyterians.
BUFFALO, N. Y., May 23.—At
the General Assembly of the Presby
terian church of the United States to
day, the special committee on marri
age and divorce made its report and
submitted the following recommenda
tion for the consideration and action
of the general assembly.
"The geueral assembly again en
joins all ministers under its care and
authority to refuse to perform the mar
riage ceremony in the cases of divorc
ed persons,except as such persons have
been divorced upon grounds and for
causes recognized as scriptural in the
standards of our church.
"Recognizing the comity which
should exist between Christian church
es, and believing that it would lie de
sirable aud tend to the increase of
spirit and Christian unity,we earnest
ly advise all the ministers under the
care aurt authority of this geueral as
sembly to refuse to unite in marriage
any person or persons whose marriag •
such ministers have good reasou to be
lieve is forbidden.by the laws of the
church iu which such person, ot per
sons. seeking to be married may hold
membership.
"The appeal and address to the inter
church conference is hereby indorsed
by this general assembly, and com
mended to the consideration of all our
ministers and congregations. The stat
ed clerk is instructed to issue it in
such form aud to such exteut as may
seem desirable and expedient audit is
requested that it be read by pastors
from their pulpits on some appropriate
sabbath."
The stated clerk is directed to call
the special attention of Presbyteries
to the action of the geueral assembly
with the view to securing the endorse
ment of existing laws aud obedience
to the injunctions of the general as
sembly. The committee on marriage
and divorce is continued and instruct
ed "to co-operate with the representa
tives of other ohurches in endeavoring
to obtain such ecclesiastical unity.and
such State or national legislation as
may shield both church and State from
existing and impending perils "
The committee is working with com
mittees of thirteen other denomina
tions, all of which form the inter
church conference on marriage ami
divorce which recently issued an ap
peal to the Christian public.
A Startling Test.
To save a life. Dr. T. G. M> rriatt,
of No. Mehoopany, Pa., made a start
ling test resulting in a wonderful cure.
He writes, "a patient was attacked
with violent hemorrhages, caused by
ulceration of the stomach I had often
found Electric , Bitters excellent for
acute stomach and liver troubles so I
prescribed them The patient gained
from the first, and has not had an at
tack in 14 months." Electric Bitters
are positively guaranteed for Dyspep
sia,lndigestion,Constipation and Kid

Something Extraordinary.
Dumout's minstrels are not a travel
ing organization. They depend entire
ly upon their record of more than
forty years at the Eleventh street
opera house. Philadelphia, to draw
their audiences. Therefore there will
be no street parade when they play at
the Danville opera house next Satur
day eveuing, but thore will be a groat
ministrel show and those who fail to
be preseut on that occasion will miss
the great laughing treat of the year.
Out With An Axe.
The little daughter of Frank Lynn,
Cooper street, was badly cut in the
face with an axe yesterday. She was
playing near her uncle, Harry Wray,
who was cutting wood, when the axe
flew off the handle striking the child
just above her mouth. Several stitches
were required
VICTORY FOR
LEWISBURG
The "Old Timers" played their first
game of base ball of the season at De-
Witt's Park on Satuiday, the opposing
team being theßucknell Reserves. The
day was line, the grounds were simply
in au ideal condition, many of the
club's old-time friends and admirers
were present ready to cheer them on
to victory, but things were not wholly
auspicious. Several of the "Old Tim
ers" relied upon as a standby on such
occasions were absent and the result
was as might have beeu foreseen: the
locals lost by a narrow margin and
the Bucknell players went home with
victory perched on their banners.
The home team evidently did not
have its eye ou the ball as usual. Its
roil weak point lay in its hitting It
was an interesting game, however, and
a harmonious one. starting at the very
minute of three o'clock. The score was
4 to 8.
The ferry offered excellent facilities
for getting the crowd across the river,
while hacks were in waiting at the
South lauding to convey the people to
the Park. The attendance, however,
was somewhat of a disappointment to
the management, who thought the
opening game should have attracted a
much larger crowd of devotees.
The next game will be played with
Bloomsburg on the diamond at De-
Witt's Park ou Memorial Day. Unless
a much better crowd turns out on that
day it is doubtful whether the club
will feel encouraged to go on with the
arrangements necessary to keep the
team in the field.

A Piano Holocaust.
It is announced that piano dealers
and manufacturers are planning to get
together all the old-fashioned square
pianos in the country that they can—
one thousand is the chosen number —
pile them up on the beach at Atlantic
City this week and make a gigantic
bonfire as a spectacular feature of the
convention of the National Association
of Piano Dealers and Piano Manufact
urers, which will assemble at that
place. The mayor has given his con
sent to the conflagration, and police
and firemen will he on hand to prev
ent a spread of the tire beyond the pile
of pianos. To the utilitarian mind the
idea is suggested that the valuable ma
hogany and rosewood in the old pianos
could be used to better purpose,or that
the superannuated pianos which new
er styles have made unmarket t hie
might be distributed among "homes"
and other charitable institutions of
the country.among the schools of com
munities which are scant of pecuniary
resources. There are hundreds of
school districts and "homes," etc..
where money could be raised to pay
the freight oil a piano if it cost noth
ing, though the instrument was out of
style. The tone ami music from some
of the old squares are quite as good
and sweet as those of the modem grand
or upright.
One manufacturer is quoted as say
ing : "Old-fashioned square pianos
are now a druu 011 the market. Their
manufacture ceased 30years ago. Fami
lies who have them prize them for
their associations,but when they come
to us for a modern piano and offer
them to us as part of the dicker they
get insulted at the price we offer for
them. Then if we do take them they
just lie arouud the store. So we're go
ing to bum 'em up. They'll look
pretty at night."
Square pianos were in style for just
about a century up to 18K0, and they
had a great vogue. It was upon the
"square" that Jenny Lind practiced
and was accompanied, that many of
our favorite sougs of the fifties and
sixties were composed, but style has
pushed them into the lumber room,
and the upright,grand and baby grand
have taken their places. The day may
come, when the obi style square, like
some of the old costumes, w ill come
into fashion again.

CONCERNING THE
OLD RIVER ROAD;
The communication from the Conn- I
ty Commissioners accepted and placed j
on file by the Borough Council Friday 1
night 1 < lating to the loss ot the bridge
at the mouth of Mahoning Creek has
revived discission on the vacation of
the river road, which is (he important
point involved.
There are still some people who think
the road should he kept open not only
on account of its convenience to the
general public but also because it is
the only outb t to the large tract of
farm land embraced by the river,Mali
oiling 1 reel; and tho canal.
The river road is one of the very old
est thoroughfares in this bastion, but
the elements, the inroads of the river
and the action of tho great ice jam
have all conspired practically to wipe
it out of existence.
The road lias been closed to travel
for several years past, the question of
its vacation during this time, being
before Court. Tbo river during suc
cessive years has cut into the land to
such an exteut. that the original road
the greater part of the way between
the Creek's Moutl: and Lovers' Leap
at present, lies in the river. Some idea
of the inroads of the stream may be
found when if is explained that the
bridge at the mouth ot Mahoning
Creek was originally three hundred
feet further out 111 tho liver than its
present site. The heavy flood of 1902
washed the road very badly leaving
gullies axle deep and rendering the
thoroughfare practically impassable.
Viewers appointed reported iu favor
of vacating the road. Exceptions were
filed to this and later an effort was
made to force repairs 011 the road by
proceeding against the Supervisor for
neglect of duty. This action was com
hatted with the plea that owing to the
incroachment of the river the road in
volved the question of re-location
rather than that of repairs.
At this juncture the ice gorges broke
and the heaviest flood iu recent years
came down the river and destroyed the
| iron bridge at tho Creek's Mouth,
which marked the line between the
Borough of Danville and Mahoning
township. The communication of the
County Commissioners informing
Council that it will not rebuild this
bridge very clearly indicates the at
titude of the former body ou the ques
tion of vacation. The Commissioners'
view will probably be adopted bv many
others and now that the bridge is lost
it would not seem strange if the old
road should be permitted to pass out
of existence.

Dalny Has Not Been Attacked.
CI IK FOG. May 23.- 1 p. 111—Forty
Russians who left Dalny yesterday ar

their departure Dalny had not been

According to their account, the Jap
air se troops met with a reverse at Kin

pectation of an attack upon Dalny by
lie- Japanese forces, are leaving there

The captain of a Russian merchant
man, who left Port Arthur ou May

from Dalny, says in an intervciw that
the whole of the Japanese fleet had
not returned to Port Arthur siuce the
