Railway, that has taken place near here for many years past occurred near Mausdale early Satur day morning Twenty-two cars were smashed up. Fortunately no one was injured. The train wrecked was south-bound freight No. 90, due to arrive at Dan ville shortly after midnight. The train was an hour or more late Satur day morning. The wreck occurred at a point about 300 yards east of Mahon ing creek and was caused by % broken rail. The train was making sood time aud the crash wan a most terrific one. People were awakened at Maasdale and the noise was heard even in Dan ville. The mix-up was the worst ever seen. Loaded coal cars, and house cars tilled with merchandise of all sorts, shattered and splintered were piled up together in one promiscuous mass. Five coal cats were thrown across the track at right angles. Others were piled on top of these or thrown down over the embankment on the south side of the track. There was not a car of the twenty-two hut was a total wreck, the trucks being torn off, and the car wholly reduced to splinters, broken in two, or staved in top and Hides, while the track for a hundred yards or more was totally destroyed. In the mix-up in addition to the soft coal were several car loads of lumber, a car load of wool, one of wire, one of iron ore and one of bottles and fine furniture. A remarkable circum stance in connection with the lattor was that while the roof and sides of this car were battered and smashed oDt.of all shape the fragile contents were damaged but little. The furni ture including two handsome china closets rode through the terrible wreck unharmed The crates around a couple of tancy chairs were broken but the chaits themselves escaped injury. (July a few of the bottles were broken. The wreck train along with a crew of some forty men was on the spot shortly after daylight having with it in addition to the steam crane two other large cranes. The work of re moving the wreck proceeded with re markable despatch and was witness ed by hundreds of people. Among tiioou weio persons passing in vehicles who nbopped in the road opposite to see the steam crane at work pulling the wreck apart. About 11 o'clock, when the market people were return ing home forty wagons were counted in the road at one time. It was an interesting sight. The ob ject first of all was to clear the track. One by one the loaded cars were seiz ed and dragged out of the mix-up. As they rolled over the soft coal was damped on the road bed,but this prov ed a slight obstacle and was soon shoveled aside, while another gang re built the track as fast as the wreck was cleared away. It was not until the middle of the afternoon that the wreck was removed and the track was repaired. Meanwhile the freight trains were sent around by Shamokin and the passenger trains transferred at the wreck. Enjoyable Surprise Party. A very pleasant surprise party was tendered Mr. and Mrs, J. G.

THE RECITAL A SUCCESS The recital, which took place in tlie High school Monday forenoon, the first of its kind ever given in Danville, lias goue on record as an unbounded success. It admirably served its pur pose, which was to acquaint the pa trons of the schools with tlie methods employed In teaching music and to give them an opportunity of judging us to the results) achieved in this branch. The patrons of the schools were on hand, all the seats in the High school room being tilled. The recital lasted just one hour, one hundred and fifty ehildreu taking part. The classes wore fifteen in number, the exercises con sisting of chart work, songs and chor uses. The pupils participating raug ed from the merest tots in the first schools, who had the chart work, to the larger l>oys and girls ol the gram mar schools, who sang songs and choruses. The exercises were in charge of Miss Weiss, the teacher of music in the public schools. The recital throughuot revealed a most remarkable proficiency and this in view of the fact that of the four years' course in music but two years have elapsed since that branch was in troduced in our schools. The chart ex ercises revealed the thoroughness of the drill and how well evan the very small pupils are instructed in the ele ments or lirst principles of music. They sang the scale with an easo and accuracy that was astonishing, while the songs and choruses were rendered with good effect. The smallest pupils have advanced far enough to read music aud their accomplishments ou the whole show that the most gratify ing results may bo expeoted by the time they complete the whole six years course in music. The patrons present expressed them selves in the most gratified terms con cerning the quality of the work. The School Directors present were equally well pleased and heartily approved the day when music was introduced into the schools. DECIDE YOURSELF. The Opportunity Is Here.

SHIM SCHOOL MERXR9T Grammar school commencement in Danville has ceased to be a dcpaiture and has become a permanent feature of commencement week. Teachers and pupils alike from the first have show ed a commendable interest in the ex ercises and there has never been any disposition 011 the part of either to j shirk, indeed, there seems to be some thing about the general importance of the event, tho preparation required, tho formality, etc , that seems to in vest. the grammar school with a new dignity, as well as a new interest. No one who was present at the commence ment in any of the three wards yester day could help but feel impressed with this fact.. The event, although on a smaller scale, was in all respects a counterpart of High School Commence ment. Not only were the white dresses of the "fair girl graduates" in evi dence. hut also most elaborate decora tions in which the classs colors pre dominated. 111 each ot the Wards the program as printed in these columns a few days ago was carried out to the letter. The papers read were clever productions, while every number of tho program was rendered with a care and an at tention to detail which showed that the class fully appreciated the import ance and dignity of the occasion. The public generally showed its in terest by attending the grammar school commencement. Iu each of the wards standing room was at a premium. Not only were the regular seats tilled witli patrons and the friends of the gradu ates, but every chair which could be crowded into tho room was occupied. The decorations were something fine. Tho large well-lighted grammar school room of the First. Ward was a marvel. The class colors were pink and white. The front part of the room was decor ated with a rich profusion of red car nations, while the big blackboard was hidden behind festoons of pink and white bunting. The doorway was drap ed with a large American Hag, while flags smaller in size along with flowers and pink and white hunting were ar tistically arranged iu every part of the room. In the Second Ward the class colors were white and gr«en. Mock orange, the class flower, was very prominent among the decorations. There were also wild flowers in profusion, along with ferns,etc. White and green bunt ing was liberally employed in the deo orations. 111 the Third Ward the class colors were carnation and white. Old Glory cut a prominent figure iu the decora tions. The ceiling even was half con cealed beneath rich festoons of buut ing which extended overhead diagon ally trom corner to corner. Beautiful flags were arranged about the four walls in the most artistic manner. A row of large ferns extended across the front of the room, separating the class from the audience. Snow halls and other flowers were arrauged about the room in profusion. The diplomas were presented by Borough Superintendent Gordy. Yes terday's exercises practically wound up the school term for the Grammar school pupils. They will be obliged to reconvene Tuesday morning to re turn their books, but recitations on that day will not cut much of a figure. Startling Evidence. Fresh testimony iu great quantity is constantly coming in, declaring Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump tion Coughs and Colds to be uuequal ed. A recent expression from T. J.

Did you ever stop to think how much is blamed on a policeman and how lit tle credit is ever given to him? If a crime of any kind is committed at any time of the dav or night, and tho per petrator is not caught red-handed, whom do you immediately think is at fault.. Tho policeman. It is never considered how many blocks ho walks and cares for. He should always be "Johnnie on the spot" when trouble arises. It the criminal is captured soon after, very little, it ativ,credit is giv en. There are alway hundreds of will ing men ready.to put 011 the uniform and be oltieers of the law. This would give thfc impression that the job is easy. It is nothing of the kind. Think, of the long hours of the night, the rush into dangers of all kinds, the ar rests of all suits of tough characters, besides the many petty annoyances a policeman is subjected to. It is always a good plan to think of yourself in the ot her fellow's position. A good ollicer's life is not altogether a happy one. Crimes will be committed auil criminals will escape, but it does not always follow that it is the police man's tault. Bo a little charitable to ward him. He is hut human. Surprise Party.

WBEKE TBE FEBBf FALLS SBOBI If the object of the County Com missioners iu establishing a free ferry was to till the place of the river bridge, then the fact might as well be kuowu that in one important respect it is not fultilliug its mission. It is in accommodating the working men, of South Danville, puddlers and others obliged to work at night, that the ferry especially falls short. Pud dlers and other workmen frequently get through shortly after midnight. As things now stand instead of bting able togo home to enjoy a well earn ed rest they are obliged to lie around the mill until the hour of 2 a m. be fore they can cross the river. This is not all. With ferry hours as they are. the working meu are not al ways sure of beiug taken home when 2 o'clock arrives. This was demon strated yesterday morning by au un fortunate occurrence, which is beiug made the subject of a great deal of comment. As is well knowu the weather yes terday morning was rainy. Among those who assembled at the ferry land ing at this side of the river at 2 o'clock or a little before were seven working meu from the rolling mills, who want ed to get across. The party waited but two o'clock and half past 2 o'clock arrived and the ferry was still lying at tho other laud ing. Three o'clock arrived and there was still no sign of the ferry man. The men were in clothing saturated with perspiration ; the night air was raw and iu the falling rain they suff ered much from the cold. To keep warm they moved briskly up unit down the shore. As the time passed, how ever, and halt hours grew into hours they became justly indignant. Half past 8 arrived and there was still no ferry. Shortly after, however, the boat was seen to start but it was not until ten minutes of four that it reach ed the opposite side. No one regretted the delay more than the ferryman himself and it is only just that his full explanation should be given. He had overslept himself. The present hours, lie ex plained, are such as to make it verj hard work to get out on time. It would be much better,according to his view, il the ferry could be kept run ning day and night. The twenty-four hours then could be divided into two turns of twelve hours each, one be ginning at 6a. 111. aud ending at 0 p. m. The ferryman's views are eutitled to a good deal of consideration. He is a conscientious mau aud has distin guished himself by the most faithful service as ferryman. Two o'clock is undoubtedly au inconvenient hour for beginning a day's work and the rem edy that he proposes is a good one anil corresponds with the plan adopt ed at Berwick where an all night ser vice is maintained. Considering that the service here at present is so newly an all night one it would not be going much further aud would not entail much greater ex pense if the whole 24 hours were tak en iu. At Berwick the ferrymen are paid SSO per mouth in au all-uight ser vice. Paules &. (Jo. Gosh k 00. ask the readers of this paper to test the value of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. Those persons who have used it and who have been cmed by it, do not hesitate to recommend it to their frieuds. Kodol digests what you eat, cures indigestion, dyspepsia and all stomach troubles.

GLASSES ARE DISCONTINUED The clauses of the Y. M (J. A. gym ' nasium have beeu discontinued for tlie sammer. The general results ot the I year's work from every staudpoiut have been most satisfactory. To begin with,the atteudauce,while probably not so large as desirable, ex cerde d that of any previous year. The i interest, too, manifested by those at tending,as well as the uniformly close application of the classes were features of the year especially encouraging to the management. The results as af fecting the patrons themselves are equally gratifying. In both the men's and the boys' classes the result of the regular attendance and the hard work in the line of body building exercise is plainly perceptible in improved physical condition. Never were conditions more favor j able for body building work iu the physical department and the indica tiona are that the patrouage in the gymnasium next year will surpass that of the year just past. It is not at all improbable that with the opening of the fall term some new apparatus will be added to the scientific and modern ! appliances already installed, j It is hardly necessary to add that - with such splendid opportunities be- I fore him no one can afford to drag ! along without proper exercise to de ' velop the muscles, and to stimulate the action of the heart, lungs, &c., keeping the body erect and retaining the vigor of youth instead of drooping aud becoming prematurely old. The fact is now recognized that all classes need body-building exercise—not only the studeut, the basiuess and the pro fessional man, but also those engaged |iu manual labor. The argument that the working man gets all the physical exerci e ho needs is no longer regard ed as iemitile. It has been satisfactori ly dcmm-minted that all around ex ; erci-o \* ill do quite as much for the ; man envatted iu manual labor as for anv ot or—improving his general heali inq nrting to him greater mental vigor and t uabliug him to perform the physical labor required of him with greater ease, the result being that he becomes more valuable to his employ er aud earns early promotion.
