BROKEN RAIL
CAUSED WRECK
One of the worst freight wrecks on
the P. &R. 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.

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.

Memorial Day.
The custom in this country of dec
orating the last resting places of the
soldier dead was borrowed from Ger
many. The idea was suggested by a
former resident of Germany, who had
served in the Union army. General
Logan in 1868 was commander of the
G. A. R. and issued an order to each
post togo as a body to decorate the
graves of their departed comrades.
From this beginning the custom has
so grown that the day is a legal holi
day in many of the States.
Although at first it was a distinc
tive soldier day.it has increased now
until nearly all departed friends are
remembered. "The only national debt
that this country can never pay is the
debt owing the Union soldiers." This
has been the emblem painted on the
banner of every patriotic citizen of
our country. This is the reason for
the general observance of Memorial
Day. The gallant boys of '6l are rapid
ly leaving us, the graves are becom
ing more numerous each year, but the
citizens who appreciate what these
brave men accomplished are more rap
idly increasing and Memorial Day,
with all its beautiful teachings, is be
ing observed more generally each pass
ing year.
Everywhere in this land ot ours the
brave soldiers' graves were decorated
yesterday. The memories that are
awakened. Fathers, brothers, sons,
friends and sweethearts,dead for their
country's sake. Flowers were placed
on all their graves, the rich and the
j»oor alike. They are equally loved
and respected.
Republics may at times he ungrate
ful, but the greatest nation on the
earth, thanks be to the brave lads
whose graves were strewn with flowers
yesterday, and their honored living
comrades, will never forget the services
rendered it in its time of greatest dis
tress.
Memorial Day is a day of sadness
and thanksgiving—sadness for the dear
departed ones, thanksgiving that the
bitterness has parsed away and our
country is now and always will be a
united one.

ELIWENT IEHAL
ADDRESS
The Memorial Day celebration of
1901 will live long in the memory ot
the patriotio orders and Berwick at
large as it was marked by tlie most
beautiful and impressive ceremonies
ever held in this place.
The services were exceptionally fiue
the parade with features that never
before marked in Berwick's observ
ance,a speaker equalled by few in the
state, and an impressive service to the
unknown sailor dead upon the river,
what better comuinatiou could be bad
to pay tribute to the honored, heroes
on this day set apart for such observ
ance. Rain set in and the service was
opened in the Opera House with a fiue
selection by the Glee Club aud au im
pressive prayer by Rev. M. A. Ship
ley. The address of Abraham Lincoln
on the battle-field of Gettysburg, was
read by Rev. R. H. Gilbert. "Am
erica"was then rendered by the Glee
Club.
Hon. James Scarlet,of Danville,was
introduced by the master of ceremo
nies and the applause which the an
nouncement brought forth testified
that the fame ot the speaker bad pre
ceded him. His addres« was one of
the finest which it has been the pleas
ure of a Berwick audience to hear.
Delivered in a forceful aud eloquent
manner which thrilled the assemblage
and stirred the fire of patriotism in
every heart. As he paid a tribute to
the honored dead and surviving hsioes
aud called for higher patriotism the
fellings of the people were with him
and frequently punctuated his remarks
with applause. "Memorial Day,"he
said, "is not a mere empty observance
but a rededication ofthenatiou to the
cause of freedom. We recall the deeds
of the heroes to inspire us to pledges
ot duty and patriotism aud to high en
deavor. On this day the nation pledges
itself by deeds of devotion that they
have not beeu in vain. It is said,
' Greater love hath uo man than that
he givetli his life for his friends, but
how much more exalted is it wheu
that sacrifice is made for patriotism.
The Hag that floats from hundreds of
stall's signifies purity,courage and love
for the principles declared iu the con
stitution ot freedom, life, liberty, aud
the pursuit of happiness. No heroic
sacrifice is even lost. If you ask whose
fame was the greatest I would point
to an army the pick of mauhood whose
watchword was the conception of
highest grandeur.
"To a tlag left stainless. To a land
that no longer echoes the crack of the
slave drivers' whip or the moan of a
slave. To the blackmail iu the fields
ot the south who works iu the shadow
of his own home, no scars on his back
or no shackles upon him.
"The men who entered the army
were 2,800,000. Over 300,000 died ill
battle, 175,000 in rebel prisous aud
500,000 came home to end the remaind
er of their lives in suffering. The loss
of killed, wounded and missing at
Antietam was 38,300, at Gettysburg
54,807 men, at Chancelorsfille 28,311.
What a youth, beauty and mauhood
would have gone forth but for this war
-—but instead was swept away forever.
"The men who carried the flag wore
commou soldiers.those who scaled Miss
ionary Ridge and waved the bauuner
of freedom from that mountain top,
who turned the tide at Gettysburg,
wiio tilled mo trenches »i Auiietam.
and Cold Harbor, were commou sol
diers. Put for them the fameot Grant
would never have illumined the pages
of history and the story of Appomatox
would never have been told.
"After the storm of war had passed
it was the army came home. They
met the welcome of a nation saved,
aud laid down their arms to take up
the pursuit of peace aud became a part
of the army of civilization The high
est idea of American Citizenship will
never surpass that record though the
pen of tame record its deeds until the
end of time.
"The confederate turned south from
Appotomax, half starved, enfeebled,
having fought to exhaustion. He sur
rendered his aud turned his tear
stained pallid race to find bis home in
ruins, his farm devastated, his slaves
free,his money worthless without law
—crushed.
"He stepped from the trenches into
tiie furrow and the fields that ran
witli flood in April were green with
crops in June. He planted seeds, de
veloped crops aud answered the pros
perity of the month, wiped away the
Mason and Dixon line and developed
a new south.
"Let the bronze or marble be erect
ed to the memory of kings,but let Me
morial Day imbue the people with a
spirit of patriotism that will be a
monument of our undying love aud de
votion to the army that gave so much
"The rear guard of this army is still
with you but the heads now whitened
are now fast, falling asleep. Now is
the opportunity to show some consid
eration to the rear guard of that great
army that saved the nation, tor then
will have answered the roll call then
all the wreaths and tributes that can
Ue placed to decorate his memory will
not perform for one kindly greeting
now. Let all the kindness and chivalry
of American citizenship ami patriot
ism do him honor.Ploomsburg

RAIN SPOILS
188 GAME
The game of base ball between tlie
"Old TimerH" ot this place and the
friendship A. A. of Bloomsburg at,
DeWitt's Park Monday was played
under a good deal of difficulty. The
rainy conditions during the afternoon
inado it doubtful whether the game
could proceed at all. At 3 o'clock the
skv seemed to brighten a little and it
was decided togo 011 with the game.
A slight dash of rain soon caused an
interruption after which the game re
sumed only to ba brought summarily
to a stop at the close of the fifth in
ning by a heavier shower, which pre
cluded all hope of any further playing
during the day.
The contest, however, was interest
ing, the teams proving themselves
evenly matched, the score at the end
of the fifth inning beiug 1 to 1. The
game was full ot good features on both
sides. The crowd, however, was smal
ler than was anticipated in view of
the interest that attached to the con
test. Tho score:

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.
MoFarliind, Bentorville, Va.. serve as

chitis for three years and doctored all
the time without being benefited.

The Policeman.
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.

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.

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.
Worst of all Experiences.
Can>nythiug be worse than to feel
j that every'minute will be your last?
Such was the experience of Mrs. 3. H.
j Newsou,'Decatur, Ala. "For three
! years" she writes, "I endured in snff
j erable painjfrom indigestion, stomach
aud boweljtrouble. Death seemed in
, evitable when doctors aud all remedies
failed. At length I was induced to try
Electric Bitters and the result was
miraculous. I improved at once and
now I'm completely recovered." For
Liver, Kiduey, Stomach aud Bowel
troubles Electrio Bitters is the only
medicine. Only 50c. It's guaranteed
