OFFICER KILLED
BJ LIGHTNING
Our citizens Tuesday morning were
shocked and pained beyond measure to
learn of tlic tragic death of LicutrUHHL
Nathaniel E. 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.

A session of Argument Court was

the Old Timers of this city for two
games on July 4tli. Shamokin wants

the fai't that it is considering the Old

which the Danville veterans are held
in neighboring towns and can ho view

in straighten out matters the Old

S i.juiokin and Danville are old time

Desecration of the Sabbath.
The riot and conflagration in St.
Louis Sunday,because a hull fight was
net permitted is a logical outcome of
the Sunday amusement sentiment, ob
serves the Williamsport livening News.
If Sunday baseball is permitted the
m\i step will he Sunday horse races
and Sunday hull lights, the full con
tinental Sabbath of Sunday political
met tings, Sunday elections and a gen
eral go as vou-please on Sunday for
everything. The best part of this
country, including all the gre.it and
prosperous eastern,western and north
ern states, were built upon tho Pur
itan Sunday for a corner stone. For
many reasons besides religious consid
erations it will he better to remain
upon it. Nine peopTo ot every ten need
an 1 desire one day of seven as a day
of n -t and quiet. It is manifestly un
necessary to appropriate Sunday for a
day of -ports and for the transaction
of private or public business. The de
sire of three-fourths or nine-tenths of
the people for a quiet Sunday should
ho respected.

RIVAL TO MARCONI
Wilkesbarro people cau boast of hav
ing a* a resident ot the city a greater
inventor than Marconi. The man is
Rev. 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.

An Interesting Eveut.
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

first Steel Car Ever Built.
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.

FERRY'S NEW
EQUIPMENT j
Tim uow trolleys along with a new
carrier were ilist:• llcil at the ferry Sat
urday to take tlii' place of a similar
appliance which broke down and was
temporarily repaired just «um week be
fore. 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. Willi

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.
