The citizens of Danville and Blooms burg alike as well as of the farming community intersected by tin line are highly gratified at the rapid prog ress made and all the developments which show that the two towns at such an early day are to be connected by a trolley line so thoroughly mod ern aud well equipped. In Danville especially, no more welcome news has been heard for some time than the fact that the Dmvillo and Blooms burg Company intend* at the present tiiuo running its line up Ea-t Market stre t to the 110-p tal for the Insane. Mr. Pascoe, whose good manage ment and energy has been manifest at every stage of the work, comes in for his full share of praise. It is quite apparent that the road is backed by a strong combination of capital, which augurs well for the success and per manency of the enterprise.

Tlie long period of conjecture at.< uncertainty as to what was in store at- the river bridge is at last at an end Definite facts were b-arni ri Monday which shows that bef re tin cl( se of another week work along some lines will be in progress. Bennett Johuson. of Kidgway, one of the foremen employed by J. 3. Caldwell, of Trenton,N. .J., who has the contract for bullidng the sub structure of thejriver bridge just arm ed at South Danville Monday for rhe purpose of securing quarters for the men and otherwise preparing for the j building of the bridge, i During an interview with a repre sentative of tlio Morning News lasl evening Mr. Johnson stated that tlie tools were shipped from <' mil llsvi lb yesterday and are expected to arrive at South Danville by the last of this week or the beginning of next. By the term "tools" is meant the heavy eight-ton cranes, the engines to oper ate them, &3. When tho-e arrive a force of workman will bj oa hand to set them in position alter which work on the erection of the piers and abnt meuts will begin. Mr. Joluison says that the stone, al ready dressed,will be shipped to Dan ville from the quarries in Elk and Clearfield Counties. Some sixty men will be employed on the sub-tructnre of the bridge. While work is in progress the head quarters will be in Hontii Danville. Mr. Johuson Monday was uiakiug inquiiies for vacant houses which will be needed to shelter the men. The switch will be built it at all possible to acquire the light of way and wcrk on it may begin at iklmost any time. Vacation Drawing to a (Jlose. Vacation is rapidly drawing to a close; on next Mouday a week, Au gust- 29th, the school term will begin. During the short interim the teachers out of town will tefurn and prepare for another niue months of hard work. Parents and pupils likewise »vi 11 find plenty to do in < rd> t to h< ready to respond wh n the school hi lls ring out after their Ions: silence on the morning of the -'Dth. One of the duties which they \\i,l not neglect is to aft- ml to the matter of vaccination, for it i- hardly neces sary to call atteution to the fa t tl a' the school law forbids teachers or prln cipals to admit students who have not " Pupils attending our schools who were successfully vaccinated last year for any previous year during his or her school life and furnished a cer tificate to that effect need feel no con cern as to vaccination this year hut will be admitted without question All new pupils, however, entering our schools for the tiist can lie a imit ted only bv producing a certificate from a physician certifying that they have been successfully vaccinated. The school law is very strict in this matter and no exceptions will bt made Each year a considerable number of pupils arrive at school age, taking tlie place of those who graduated the pre vious year or dropped out. during the t;rm. Of those who have not yet reached school age, but are between five and six, all whose next birthday occurs between the opening (t tlie schools and the Christinas vacitiou will be permitted to attend at the be ginning of the term; those who will not be six until between the holidays and spring will not be admitted until the reopeuiug v f the schools after the Christmas vacation.

The business mi? 11 who at the Board ot Trade meeting pledged themselves to organize a company capitalized at ! £IO,OOO, art? growing more euthusias ] tic over the proposition day by day. Mr. Hartman in order to obtain an ex- I pression of opinion from experts visit ied New York with samples All who saw the flooring were impressed with its value ami assured Mr. Hartman j that it was destined to supersede all ' other flooring of its kind. In order to gain time those who i have the enterprise in hand have plac -led the order for the special machin ery required, which is covered by pat ent, with Curry & Vannaii and this will be manufactured as quickly as possible. Meanwhile plans and speci fications are being prepared for the power equipment for the stone mill on Church street, which has been secur ed as a home for the new industry. Considerable remodeling will be necessary about the old mill, which has beeu idle for a score of years or more, and is in bad condition. Work at Ihe structure will begin in a very few days. H. A. Litz, the inventor of the pat ent flooring, which promises to be come so popular,is a native of Zurich, Switzerland and is a brother of our townsman, Carl Litz. The mosaic woodwork is unlike anything else of its kind. In a general way it is a flooring formed by uniting small pieces of highly polished wood, dif ferent colors being represented aud all shapes emploj ed. Pattern* of all sorts may be inlaid and the effect is very beautiful. Floor jug of this sort has beeu attempted be fore but the work is crude and defec tive compared with Mr. Litz's inven tion, in which no uails appear on the -urfaee and the blocks are saw°d with i(ie gr;tiu upwards, which gives the product a remarkable durability The distinctive features about it. which are ~trouii 1 y prote ted bv pat n*. li<* in tii" method of nailing,the sawing and the tools devised for doing this work. A door check invented by Mr. Litz a year or-o ago is manufactured in Passaic, N. J., ani is meeting with a ready s.ile. Like tin flooring it is ex ceedingly simple yet unique in itswav an 1 that it proves a re iiy s- ller is thoroughly in line with the predic tions made for it when exhibited in Danville a year ago. gtoe's band Will Hold a bail. Stoes' Baud will hold a dance ill the Armory on Friday nigtit, which promises t > be a very line social event This hand, which is coinpo-ed ot deserving young fellows, talented in music, is having a raMier discourag ing experieooe at present, as the sup port received from the public i* inad equate to meet the running expenses, whic'i although not heavy ar • more tliau the iudividual members should be asked to bear. The heaviest it in is the rent, which with light, &\, amounts to about ten dollars p»r month. This the members, in addition to devoting tiuie to practice, at pres ent are obliged to piyout ot their pockets. That the members of the ban 1 feel discouraged goes without saying. They have decided upon the expedient of holding tiie ball on Friday night with the hope of realizing from the proceeds enough to relieve the situa tion and place a balance in the treas ury. In view of the above therefore it is hoped that the ball will be ail unqualified success. Music for the dance will bo furnished by the band. The band under the direction of Arthur Foulk is practicing regularly. At frequent intervals between now aud fall they contemplate playing on the sheet as on Friday night ami if the music does not prove highly accept able it will not be that the players have not done their utmost to plea*e. The band looks to the public foi support. Deliehtful Event at Blue Springs.

The river has fallen rapidly during the last few d*ys and tin water is now at nearly its lowest poitn. Tho ferry owing to the weak cur rent moves very slowly and consumes upwards of twenty minutes in cross ing. Owing to the poor service sever al of the teams, including the McCor luick bus have resuiu-td fording the river. The stream is low enough to make this practicable and considerable time is saved in this way. Owing to the bad bottom fording has not been popular tin- summer even at low wat er aud yesterday was about the first that any of the teams crossed in tins way for several weeks. The ro.'ks are beginning to show on the surface of the wat> rand in a day or so the naphtha launches will ex perience difficulty in crossing. A Monster Snake.

Short ly after 2 o'clock the father missed Harry and instituting a search found him hanging in the garret. Mr. Ileberling was nearly overcome at the discovery. Ho gave the alarm, in response to which Elmer Cotner and Thomas Pollock went into the at tic and cut the suicide down. Dr. Holla about the same time responded to a call. An examination showed t'iat tin.' last spark of life had fled and that the man had been d"ad for some time. The suicide was deliberately plan ned. The decease 1 aft r securely fas tening a rope to the ratter, mounted a box, after which be adjusted the rope around his neck and jumped off. The Justice of the Peace after learn ing all the facts in the case decided that an inquest was not necessary. Auto Trip to Danville.

Danville Lodge, No. 754, B. P. O. E., of this city is making arrange ments to hold a dance at Hunter's Park 011 Thursday the 25Sh inst. which in point of brilliancy promises to eclipse anything that was ever at tempted at that resort. Not only will the pavilion be l»vishly decorated.but the entire grove will be adotned with Japanese lanterns and the like, which will be suspended among tho branches of the pine trees. The music for rtie dance will be furnished by Oppouheim s orchotsra and every thing will be 011 a generous and elaborate scale. Invitations will be s'tit out today. The affair ts not restricted to the Elks alone, but the invitations will include many not belonging to tho order who have friends that are members. This d nice will be the last of the summer events. The lodge is already pr paving for the fall ani winter sea son and it might be added that the virions functions under contempla tion will lack nothing in the scope or brilliancy which has made those note worthy held by thn lodge during the present and past seasons. L irgc at the Grove. Tli Rev. .Tunes Russell, D. D., of Oneoiit»,N. V.,who occupied the pul pit of the OtoM Presbyterian church Sunday forenoon during the absence of Rev. Dr. Mc.Cormack, preached an exceedingly uhle discourse which was listened to by a very large congrega tion. l'he Rev. Dr. Russell spent his ear |y life in Danville and vicinity and a large number of his old time fnends were present y<-terday morning to hear hi - able sermon. Twenty years have made but little change in Mr. Russell, except to enlarge his experi pn,e aud develop his powers until judging bv yesterday's effort he ranks with the leading divines of his church.

KKTA HIJHHED (N 1855 REMOVING The question of relocating the curb stone market will come up before the Borough Council at its meeting to morrow night. Owing to the paving of Mill street a point lias now been reached where the market at least temporarily will have to be removed from that thoroughfare. The question to settle will be whether the removal should be per manent or not;also what street is best adapted for the market. Not a few of the merchants, who would like tr» see the market kept on Mill street, take the view that even with the trolley line in operation there will be ample room for the wag ons and advocate bringing the markr-t back as soon as the street is paved. It is evident, howover.that there will be opposition to this coarse. Whether the removal is to be perm anent or not a nice point to settle will bo which street is best suited for the market. Many persons taking into consideration the location of the town, one populous section lying as it does on the north side and the other on the south side, think that Ferry or some other street exteudiug north and south should be selected as one that would be convenient for the greatest number of people. They hold that Lower Mulberry street would be too inconvenient for residents of the First and Second Wards and that Mahoning street is too remote from portions of the Third Ward and Yorks' Hill. The matter is now up to Council for immediate action, as the market is already partially crowded off the street and but two or three market days remain before the portion now occupied will be closed by the con tractor. brief Shut Down for Bipairs. The clock factory will close tomor row to remain idle until next Wednes day. The shutdown is rendered nec essary owing to some repairs needed on the machinery, the gas engine, es pecially requiring a general overhaul ing. Several parts will have to be sent away for repairs. The shut down contemplated will be the first time lost by the clock fac tory since it was started nearly a year and yet the etablishment is a month behind in it orders. The selfwiuding clocks are constant ly increasing in popularity and_tl^ enough to have demonstrated its reli ability and accuracy as a time keeper. Its factory here has a busy career be fore it. Study Music at a Good School. It has become a well known fact, that out of one hundred people who spend their money to secure an educa tion in music, not mote than one or two become musicians. The reason often lies iu the fact that poor in struction is received. We notice in reading the catalogue of (the Literary Institute aud State Normal at Bloomsburg.that the cours es offered in music are like those at the best conservatories, equally thor -0 ugh and comprehensive, and cost much less. Instruction iu other biaauches may be taken while study ing music. Send for catalogue and refer to pages 11, 29, 30 and 31. Ad dress J. P. WELSH, Principal. Mrs. Allgaier Claimed by Death.

JOB PRINTING i The ottiee of the AMERICAN being furnished with a large assortment of job letter and fancy type and job material generally, the Publisher an nounces to the public that he is prepared at all times to ex cute in the neatest manner JOIS PRINTING Of all Kinds and Description POLE PSTION HIT SETTLED i The question of poles for the Bor ough Electric Light plant has not a 9 yet been settled. It lias been ascer tained . however, that a "right'of way " can be obtained over poles nt)w standing. Whether it would be ifor the best interest of the Borough to lac cede to the terms and use these poles or to plant others of its own is a ques tion on which under the circumstances thero ought to he no division of opin ion. The matter will come up before Council at its meetiuy tomorrow night. Tt'ie Standard Electric Light Com pany makes a proposition to the Bor ough which seoms eminently fair and will no doubt be accepted by Council. It agrees that the Borough shall have tho right and privilege to attach its wires, cross arms, cables and fixtures to the Light Company's poles for the purpose of transmitting electric light current only at a height not less than one and one-half feet below the lower cross arm now in use on said poles, the wires to be attached to cross arms at a distance of at least one and one half feet from the center of pole. The Standard Electric Light Com pany agrees to bear the cost of main taining the poles thus used, stipula ting, however, that each party bear the expense of maintenance or repairs of its own cross arms and fixtures. If for any cause it becomes necessary to remove auy or all of said poles the Light Company agrees to make such removal, the expense thereof to be di vided and borne equally between the parties of the first and the second part. The Light Company agrees to pajr license on the poles used by the Bor ough, stipulating, however, that the liceuse or tax on poles or auy of the property of the Light Company, ex cept real estate,shall not be during the term of agreement. The Standard Electric Light Com pauy asks that the Borough agree to pay a rental on all poles thus used of sixty cimts per annum during the term of the agreement, payable in ad vauce on the first d ty of November of each year for each and every pole used by tiie Borough. The conditions proposed providq that each i arty agree to save thej other party harmless from any aud all loss and damage occasioned by its car rent. 0£ L»v H wewta imnfr •Sfj keep its wires properly insulated and to reimburse the other party for all damage, cost and expense incurred by them by reason of any negligence of employes. The term of the agreement is ten years. The poles which the Stand ard Electric Light Company proposes to graut use of to the Borough are lo cated as follow*: Twenty-eight poles on Market street, thirty poles on Mill street, fourteen poles on Bloom street iu addition to any other poles which may be required, the poles to be used jointly by the Standard Electric Light Company aud the Borough of Danville Our streets are already well filled with poles aud the thought of dupli cating those already standing in in stalling the Borough plant is hardly to be tolerated in view of the liberal proposition from the Standard Elec tric Light Company. It is the cheap er course to pursue aud in every re spect solves the problem nicely. Two Principal Commodities. The two principal commodities in the curb stone market Tuesday were sweet com and tomatoes. There were few wagons which did not contain one or the other or both of them. The corn was most luscious in qual ity,the grains large and juicy and the ears well filled. The price during the earlier hours was ten cents per dozen, but before the close of market a great deal was sold at eight cents. Tomatoes are very tine. Yesterday thev could bo bought for fifty cents per bushel, although in smaller quan tities they sold at five cents per quar ter or ten cents per half a peck. Only a few peaches were in market; these were small and sold at ten cents per box. Plums wore more plentiful and sold at 25 ceuts per peck, or 10 cents per box. Prospects are fair for a good apple crop; although they are found in market in ouly limited quantities and. sell at 10 ceuts per peck. Blackberries aud huckleberries sold at 10 ceuts per box. Along with farm produce generally cabbage is growing nicely and prom ises a large vi. Id It sells in market at an average of about 3 cents per head. Butter was scare in market aud brought 25 cents per pound. Eggs are more plentiful than a month or so ago and sold as low as 18 cents per dozen yesterday. No Action on CJatawissa Bridge. Coutrary to expectations, Judge 1 Kunkle.of the Dauphin County Court failed to hand down an opinion Mon- ( day in the Catawissa river bridge pro ceedings, upon which depends the early re-construction of the bridge, which was destroyed by the flood. With the delay in the proceedings there is little hope that the bridge will be reconstructed this fall, and. the problem of transportation over tho river at that place will be one of serious proportions.
