Rower, which occurred at Fort Leavenworth, Kan M nd.i.v afternoon. Lieutenant Bower wa- struck by lightning. As second Lieutenant ot the Engineer Corps lie was on the fir ing line with Ins men and was watch ing the targets through field glass s when the lightning struck oat of al most a clear sky. The Lieutenant was holding tho ritto under his right ami. Ihe holt ot lightning ran down the rifle barrel en tering tho right side of the chest and passing out of tin' soles of the oflicer s shoes, a wide red sear showing the path of the current. Lieutenant Han nun., who was with the unfortunate officer sustained a slight shock. Lieutenant Bower is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ephraitn Bower of Moore burg, this couuty, where the unfor tunate young oflicer was born and spent his boyhood, lie graduated from the Danville High school in ISSMi. From his earliest childhood lie was distinguished by the most studious and exemplary habits. At the local high school he graduated at the head of his class and carried oil a prize. He taught school one year, after which he won an appointment to West Point in a competitive examination, which took in applicants from every part of the Congressional District. He graduated from West Point in 11)01 carrying off the honors of bis das> Since then he has been stationed in the West. Less than two years ago he perfect ed a very useful invention in the form of an arm rest for an army saddle, which is designed to assist an ofliet-r in making a sketch of contour while on horseback. The invention is pro tected by patent and has been adopted by the government. The young officer based great expectations upon this in vention, which was already beginning to yield a revenue. Lieutenant Bower visited his parents here only a few months ago and while in Danville was interviewed by a rep resentative of the Morning News. He was then very hopeful as to the futuiv and gave a line account of what was being done by the government in dill ereut parts of tho West, to advance tie interest of the army, all of which was printed in these columns at the time. Lieutenant Bower was 25 years ol age. In addition to his father and mother, lie is survived by the follow ing brothers and sisters: Rev. Samuel E. Bower, a Presbyterian minister George, a telegraph operator employ ed at Mooresburg and Thomas ami Ernest, who live at home; Annie, (Mrs. William S. Morrison) of thi city; Jennie, wife of Dr. Beach, Mont oursville; Mary, a nurse at the lies pital for the Insane; Bessie, a -eliool teacher of Liberty township,and Alice, who lives at the parental home. Tin deceased oflicer is a first cousin ol Prothonotary Thomas G. Vincent. A touching circumstance related it: connection with the sad taking oil ol the young officer is that ho was soon to bo married and that the ladj Miss Nickerson of San Francisco was at the military post at the tine of his death, visiting her sister. Mr- Captain DeHayne. Sheriff in Show Business. Sheriff Whitaker, of Schuylkill, ai St. Clair levied on the circus propretj of Bard Bros., who showed h<Te lasi summer. The levy was on a judgment obtained in Berks Co. for about by Theodore Auinan, of Pottsvill* who was a partner in the circn- lasi year, the judgment being for money advanced to the Bard Bros The pro prietors of the show asked leave to til, their enaggements, in tin- hope of be ing able to raise money to jay off tin judgment. Sheriff Whitaker agr< ec to allow Bard Bros, to do so provide they would remain in the county and permit Deputy Sheriff to accompany them on their tour. This arrangemenl proved satisfactory.

Joseph Murgas, pastor of the Slovak Catholic church, of North Wilkesbarra, a graduate of tlie best universities of Europe, a member of the Society Electrotochniquo of Vien na, ami recognized throughout the world as one of the greatest and most successful students of the mysterious electricity. Farther Murgas began several years ago to perfect a wireless telegraph system, although he had been study ing electricity for many years before, lie labored day and night and so hard did lie study that at one time he al most lost his health. He met with many reverses like most inventors, but he was persevering and finally In* achieved results. It was three years ago that ha first succeeded in getting a sytsem of wire less telegraphy perfected, but it was not until recently that be secured his patents, which now number tour. So mnch different is bis system from any other that he had 110 trouble whatever in getting the patent officials to grant him bis rights as a patentee. It is new in every way and all the other wire less teletgaph men acknowledge that Ins system is the latest and most im-' proved of auy. He has constructed a temporary ap paratus for making a test of his sys tem and messages were sent from his home to different points. The test proved successful in every way and messages can be sent with more speed and accuracy than by any other sys tem. Persons familiar with other sys tems have witnessed experiments with the new system which Father Murgas has perfected and all of them have pronounced it the best of any they have ever tested. Father Murgas has received flatter ing offers from large companies to sell his patent in order that it may be placed 011 the market, but he is work ing on another system and does not care to sell hib rights for a while, at least. He is working hard on his oth er system and when he has completed it, he will then place the patents 011 ttie market. Since he began his ex periments Father Murgas has spent several thousand dollars and expects to spend much more before be has achiev ed the desired results.

Enterprising citizens of Johnstown, Fa., the famed Flood City, have per fected arrangements for a grand home coming of all former residents ot the big steel town,including menjand wo men. The Johnstown Old Boys' Re union and Summer Carnival Associa tion was organized some time ago, when Percy Allen Hose, one of the most p'ominent young men 111 the city, was elected president; Harvey G. Barclay,secretary; Edward H. Bailey, one of the editors of the Daily Demo crat, treasurer. A number of other business and professional men of Johns town compose the directorate. The purpose of the association is to hold a reunion of all former Johns town residents in that city the week of July 18-23. Such a reunion was held last year in Dayton, 0., and it proved one of the most memorable oc casions in the history of that place. Former residents of Dayton from every part of the United States poured into Dayton and there was a solid week of handshaking of old time acquaint ances. From Chicago alone came a delegation ot nearly 10(1, accompanied by a baud. That Throbbing Headache Would quickly leave you, if you us ed Dr. King's Now Life' Pills.

An epoch in the history of steel car construction was marked last week when there was completed at the Ber wick plant of the American Car and Foundry Company, the first steel cai ever constructed. Although a number of plants have attempted to build an all steel passi nger car heretofore, it was the Berwick plant that first suc cessfully accomplished its construc tion. It was Friday night that the sample car of the 300 car order fur the Inter horough Company of New York City was shipped from the Berwick plant. The construction of this car has been watched with the greatest interest, not only by the local officials, but by the general manufacturing world as well. The new car is a model of beauty of design and is perfect 111 every de tail. It i- built entirely of steel, with the exception of an aluminum finish and has bamboo seats The car is not quite so long as an ordinary passenger car, and the scats run along the sides It is painted in several shades of red and weighs fif»,ooo pounds.

MUST HOLD SPEC IAL ELECTION Our Borough Fathers lia-vo become convinccd that it will l»i necessary to hold a special election before they can proceed with all the municipal im provements contemplated. This election will probably be hold within thirty days. It must bo adver tised for a period of tour weeks. Our Councilmcn declare they enter tain no fears as to the result of tho election. Ir is a demonstrated fact, they say, that the lioroogli can manu facture its own electricity, light its streets morecffi ctivelv and accomplish a saving thereby and notwithstanding ttie apparent tirst cost, they believe the people are with them and that when the proposition is left to a vote the expression will be much the same as when the former election was bold. The proposed election revives inter est iu the result of the one formerly held for the same purpose. That elec tion was lit Id on Tuesday, April 25th, 1 S'.i'.i. The people were in favor of municipal light and they expressed themselves in no uncertain tones. Al though a light, vote was polled each of the four wards gave a majority in fav or cf the measure. A total of four hundred and fifty votes were cast in favor of increasing the indebtedness and establishing an electric light paint, opposed were two hundred and ten votes, which left a majority of two hundred and forty in favor oft henna sure.

Desires to Buy Mulberry Leaves. To F. Q. Hartman probably belongs the credit of raising the first crop of raw silk in the shape of cocoons ever produced in Danville. At. the present tituo three thousand silk worms in process of development form an inter esting adjunct to his silk mill on Wat er street. The worms are appro.ichiiig the most interesting stage of their ex istence when they will begin the spin ning of silk in tho construction of their cocoons before changing into a pupa. They are at present very busy little fellows an 1 they present a sight, especially at feeding time, which is well worth seeing. At the close of the season last yeai Mr. Hartman secured from the moths about four thousand eggs. These were kept in cold storage until spring when hatching took place. The raising of raw silk, however, is not carried on by Mr Hartman for the sake of finan cial gain and is not to be viewed from a commercial standpoint. He has em barked in the venture purely in the interest of science and is conducting his experiments as an object lesson. No one is more interested than Mr. Hart man's little son, who feeds tho silk worms, and thus receives his tirst training in the silk business As is well known silk worms feed on mulberry leaves and it is in the matter of food for the insects that Mr. Hartman (iirls himself in an un fortunate predicament. He planted a number of mulberry trees along the river bank a year or so ago, which lie relied upon to furnish food for his silk worm-. Unfortunately when the ice gorge broke last winter a number of tho trees were destroyed, so that now he finds himself short of mul berry leaves. Mr. Hartman desires to purchase leaves of the mulberry tree and lie will be very glad to hear from any one who might have leaves to sell. He is anx ious that no time ho lost and asks that such persons communicate with him at once. For a Hundred Years.

The wheels, larger than the old. j cover fiftv-tonr inches at every revolu tion. The wooilen frame which sup port- them i-' five feet Ion? and heavy in propoition. Not only do the new j trolleys a id to the strength and dura bility of the ferry lmt they percept i- j lily accelerate tie motion of the boat. The appliance w..s installed on the j hit;ll cable Saturday forenoon and re quired the united < lforts of several men. lu order to interfere with traffic as little ji-i possible it was placed in position ami everything gatten in readiness for connecting if ' with the boat before the t' ry was stopped. To add still further to the security of things a large portion of the hemp rope which holds the ferry was cut out and a hilt inch cable substituted The iron pulley- on the boat are very hard on hemp rope especially during wet weather; the one in use was perceptibly worn and it was a ques tion whether it would prove equal to the strain much longer. The cable now covers tin* windlass, passes through each of the iron pulleys on the flat and extends up toward the trolley ca ble tor about thirty five feet. It was the it.sertion ot this cable that added so much to the tediousness and the difficulty of connecting the terry with the trolley frame. The whole job was very satisfactorily ac complished, however, with the loss of i only an hour and a half. The fertv now is splendidly erpiip- j ped, perfectly safe in every respect. ] The carrier is furnished with three | automatic oilers, one for each wheel | and the other to oil the cable.

" PURCHASED A NAPHTHA LAUNCH George Hullilien,who belongs to the crow at the Water Works,has purchas ed a naphtha launch of William Khawn of Catawisw. It is a graceful little craft and a perfect flyor. With Mr. Hullihen's little ho»t 111 coiiiiiiissiou Danville can again boast of four naph tha launches. The river presents a fine field for limiting this summer. At no time has the stream fallen to a point that would make it diflieult to navigate the launches. Up to the present there has heen no indication of drought and it seems likely that this season may he much like last summer and that the river will not fall much below its present mark. Mr. Hullilien of course will use his launch in transporting people hack wards and forwards over the river, but he expects to find a much wider field for if in taking out pleasure part ies. A cruise up or down the river just at this season proves most delight ful and no doubt if the rates were fix ed reasonable enough long trips of this I sort would become very popular. Such is the view that Mr. Hullilien takes and he will bid for that kind of Inisi i ness. Paules & Co. Gosh & 00. | ask the readers of this paper to test the value of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.
