RAILROAD OFFICIALS AT DANVILLE A conference relating to freight transference took place in this city i'uesdav between the leading officials of the P. & Hand the D. L. \V Kail roads. Muoli ot the carrying done for several of the industries of the town involves the transference of ca~s. It is important, therefore, that the two railroad companies have a thorough understanding in the mat ter. which naturally involves a full knowledge of switches and the size and location of sidings. Danville yesterday was. therefore, selected as a place for the conference SO tli.it the officials could go carefully over the ground and arrive at an esti mate of the track facilities. The officials of each railroad arrived about one o'clock in a special train. The D L. & W. officials comprised the following: T. E. Clark. General Sn perintendeot; T .T- Flynii, Traffic Manager; G. M. Rine, Division Sup erintendent ; <T. B. Keefe, Division Freight Agent; W. B. Hixson, Super intendent of Bridges and Buildings, aud J. G. Hay, Division Engineer. The P.iS: K. contingent consisted of about the same number of officials, headed by T. D. Dice, General Sup erintendent of the Railway. The conference lasted about an hour, during which the officials personally visited the siding at Dotli the Struc tural Tubing Works and the Heading lion Works. Shortly after 2 o'clock the special trains departed. Two Actiou in Trespass. Thomas Elmes, of near Roaring Creek an attendant at our curb stone market and who is well known in this city, lias instituted actions in trespass against the Cross Creek Coal Com pany and the Lehigh and W ilkesbarre Coal Company, through his attorney, Clinton Herring, and has filed plain tiff's statements in each action. Elmes is the owner of a certain tract of land in Montour township, Colum bia county,known as "Elmes' Island and lying in the Susquehanna river. He alleges that prior to the first day of November, 1902, each company negligently aud careessly deposited lura>i> nnontitU'M of coal dirt.eoal dust, negligently caused the same to be plac ed where the winds,storms, rains, and elements carried the same into the riv er and its branches, whereby large quantities of coal dirt,coal dust,rock, slate, etc., were carried by the river and its branches down the stream leaving large quantities of aforemen tioned refnso upon the lands of the plaintiff, thereby damaging the land, and rendering it from time to time untillable and unproductive, injuring from time to time the improvements thereon and springs of water and in part destroying his crops, fruit trees, small fruits, vines and timber trees. lu ewch action the plaintiff claims damages in the sum of $2,000. Knights of Golden Eagles Anuiversary. The Susquehanna District Associa tion, Knights of the Golden Eagle, will celebrate thoir sixteenth anniver sary in Lewisburg, on Labor Day, Monday, September sth. It will be a gala day for Lewisburg,as fully five thousand visitors will be there, not including the several lodges compris ing the district in which is Look Hav en, Williamsport, Jersey Shore, Mil ton, Watsontown, Bloomshurg, Cata- WiHsa, Danville, Mifflinborg, Mill heiin, Bellefonte, Spring Mills, Sha tuokin, Sunhury, and others. Each lodge will bring from twenty-five to one hundred and fifty members to par ticipate in the parade, which will be held in the afternoon. Eight or ton hands will be in line, and in fact it will be the largest demonstration Lewisburg has had since the centen nial in 1885. The officer* ot the dis trict, Joseph I*. Miller, president; W. W. Muftsor, secretary, of Lewisburg, ami I. D. (tresh, Milton, tr* , a i -ur< r,to gether with the local committees, have been working hard to make the celebration a grand success. Several of the grand officers will be in attend atice. Get Vaccinated or No Work. Notices have been posted about Ma hanoy City by the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron Company not ifying all their employes that all must comply with the oiders of the State Hoard of Health and be vaccinated he fore the 2.~>th of August or they will not be permitted to work at any of the collieries. This is a very com uiendable action on the pr»rt of the company and will be the means of really helping to stamp out the small pox in that vicinity. Merchants After Peddlers.

IMPROVEMENTS ON BLOOM STREET The problem presented by the in equality of surface 011 Bloom street where the roadbed at several points is higher than the trolley truck is being solved by cutting down the street to conform with the railway. The mat ter was brought up at the last meeting of Council and it was shown that a had state of affairs existed, which made driving dangerous. The matter was referred to the Committee 011 Streets and Bridges with power to act. The committee after a duo inves tigation decided as stated above and the work of cutting down the road bed under Street Commissioner Miller is already under way. The trolley track is laid to conform with the established grade as recently given by Borough Surveyor Q. E. Keefer. Bloom street at most points west of the P. & R. crossing conforms very nearly with the new grade. East of the crossing from A street to Cher ry street the track lies lower than the surface of the street, the difference at some places being upwards of a foot. The street is already in a good con dition from Cherry to Vine street where the road bed is leveled off and the entrance to each of the above thor oughfares made safe and easy. A regrettable circumstance connected with it is that the cutting down pro cess removes all the macadam leaving a clay bottom, which it is feared, in the spring of the year will become very soft and muddy. However, it is necessary to bring the street down to tin- established grade. Pigging is vry hard and the small force of men employed do not make very rapid progress. The present week will hardly s*e the completion of the work. Along with the grading new cross ings, aro being laid and other im provements made 011 Bloom street. Nearly all the mossing stone employed along the street are irregular and ill shapen and it is the plan to throw these oat and to insert in their stead the larger aud moro symmetrical stones displaced on Mill street where paving makes crossing stones unnec essary. The crossings at A and B streets have alreadv been relaid which not only improve appearance very much but add to the convenience of pedestrians. Goal Digger's Slow Passage. Gross & Rishler of Northumberland passed up tlio river with their coal digger Monday enroute for Cata wissa whore they expect to find plenty of river coal. Thoy have with thorn three largo scows. Their trip thus far lias been beset with many dilllculties ami their troubles are uot over yet. They left Northumberland on Tuesday of last week ami it was not until Sunday af ternoon that they rounded tlio bend in the river below town. Their troubles were all due to shoal water, lliey en countered rocks innumerable and were aground hours at a time. Their worst experience lay in attempting to cross the riffles above the creek's mouth. Those were struck about mid <llr> of th« >»fti rnnnn Snndav and it | and steamed up between the piers of | the river bridge. There are many obstructions further up the rivor. which tliev can hardly hope to escape. At Roaring creek there is a ledge of rock extending piac tioally across the liver, which can scarcely bo cleared by a row boat at low watar. It is not unlikely that the coal dig ger may bo held up at that point un til a rise in the river. The speed of tlio craft pushing the tlireo large scows ahead of it against the current is some thing like half a mile an hour and al lowing for delays it is not unlikely that another week will be consumed before the coal digger reaches Oata wissa.

At the end of each room is an annex of nearly the same width and extend ing hack some thirty-five feet, which was formerly used as a dwelling by the merchant. The two annexes, which are built of brick, are separated by an alleyway. In rebuilding, the two annexes will be thrown together into one. The partitions will lie removed, eveu the solid brick wall between them and the store will lie torn out so that both the grocery and dry goods department after tlio improvement will extend back about twice as far as at present.

During the year each of the pas tors in town have a certain time al lotted to them for officiating at the Hospital. Rev. Dr. Shindel is one of our clergymen who is not taking a va cation ; it appears just now that he is booked for the Hospital and he Sun day preached to the unfortunates who are incarcerated there. Preaching at the Hospital is a task not to he coveted. No matter how zealons the minister may he in his de sire to do good lie finds it difficult to suit.

Many of the sermons art* beautiful in their way revealing how much there is in God's promises adapted even to the most hopeless conditions of life. The sermon preached by Rev. Dr. \l. I>. Shindel yesterday was one of this beautiful and appropriate class. The text itself is all that it is nec essary to quote. It was from the !>()th Psalm: "Make us glad according to the days wh 'rein Thou hast afllicted us and the years wherein we have seen evil." The sermon was delivered in Dr. Shindel's syuipithetio style and in point of beauty and sentiment was thoroughly in keeping witli the text. THE PERFECT WAY.

Because certain parties are de sirous of changing the location of the bridge from its old site to a place where it will cross the D. L. & W. tracks in entering Berwick, the build ing of the (structure has been held up by the state and it now looks as though there would lie no bridge communica tion between Berwick and Nescopeck before the coming of cold weather, when the partial freezing of the river will stop the running ol ferries and at the same time the river will not be safe for crossing.

CONSTANCE MAIM ED AT BELLEFONTE Dominic Constance was formally ar raigned liefore Squire John Kerchline if Bellefonte on Saturday charged with j,»il breaking and of being an tccessory before and after tlie fact, to the murder of Turnkey Oondo. The CJornraouwealth was represented by District. Attorney N. B. Spangler. He was held without bail, and is now confined in what is known as the light lnugeon in the Centre county jail. The only furnishing iu the cell is a mattress on which to sleep He is in 11is stocking feet, with only a pair of pantaloons and a shirt to cover his liody. When first he was placed be liind the bars he was in a fiendish dis position. lie cursed and carried on like a mad man, saying that lie did not care what they did with his nock. Frequently he said," Me 110 kill Jerry, 1110 only got out of jail." The formal arraignment of Con stance brings out the fact that since Ills recapture he has related consider able of interest concerning the plans For oseape and the murder of Oondo. He said that several days previous to the escape, they decided to hreak jail. "Little Georgo," meaning Livingston, who is still at largo,would carry mes sages to and fro between cells Nos. 7 and 8. The staple 011 the door of cell No. 8, was sawed off several days pri or to the escape, and Henderson asked Dominic several times whether he wanted to hreak jail and escape, and lie said that he did. Henderson said that when they got out, they would color their hair, change clothes and other mean of disguise. Friday morn ing they asked Turnkey Oondo when Sheriff Taylor was coming back from Gettysburg, to which Condo answered "tomorrow." George Livingston then went down to the main prison door and when one of the sheriff's girls passed, asked her what they were go ing to do that evening. She told him that they were going to the band con ceit at Hecla Park. He then went bark to the cells and told the other prisoners. They then held a confer ence and decided to break jail that night. Dillen and Green bent down the one corner of the sheet iron door of their cell, and placing a stick be tween the jam and the door, crawled out ovr it, went down stairs, and se creted themsi Ives iu the bath room bo low. Constance and Henderson were locked up in their cells,but they heard Oondo and McOulloogh come in with the hobbles. McOullough entered first, followed by Condo. Constance said he heard Green and Dillen run out, and when he struck Condo lie heard the latter cry out, "What is the matter with you fellows tonight?" Then lie groaned several times. Green then pitched the keys up to Livings ton, who opened the cell in which Dominic was, along with Hender son, and thoy both ran out. It was said that when the Italian came out and ran down stairs, he jumped upon Oondo, as he lay upon the floor of the jail, unconscious. But Dominic denies that he either struck him or jumped upon him. He says he saw Jerry lying with his head sideways 011 the floor, with his hands 11 »r 11. . ♦ !\.l heard them pound him, and kn*»w who was doing it,because they were swear iug at the old man. After he got out he left the others at the door of the jail, and struck for the mountains. He said that he was there ever since, within three miles of Bellefonte. He got bread at different ulaces and once lie paid a boy to get some for him. He denies that he had been at the lta ian shanties at the lime kilns. When asked where he got the blaek suit, and hat ho replied, "Someona gave them to me." He said that he slept in the mountains with a very large um brella to keop off the rain. He did not eujoy sleep much for he feared that someone wonld come and shoot him. He asid he was tired, and that if they had not caught him, he was coming to Bellefonte to give himself up. When reminded that he had threatened to kill the sheriff and Con do, he said he was only in fun. Prisoner is Quite Sick. Jacob Hite, who is serving a term of nine months in the Northumberland county jail for carrying concealed deadly weapons, is quite sick, and it may be necessary for him to undergo a surgical operation for appendicitis. Owing to the close confinement, Hite has been failing in health for the past several months. Indications of appendicitis have been apparent for some time, but,as the tissues have not broken down, the attending physician was able to cope with the affliction without using the knife. There being great danger, however, of a breaking down of the tissues, an operation has been advised. Hite objects to such a course, but is willing to yield, it is said, to the judgment of the medical men. In case an operation is deemed necessary, the patient will be removed to the Mary M. Packer Hospital. An application has already been made to District Attorney Oummings,for his consent to the removal, and lie has al ready signed the necessary papers. The signature of the judge will also lie secured, so all will be in readiness at a moment's notice for Hite's temp orary release from prison. While the attending physician is not fearful that Hite's condition is at all greatly alarming, an operation is be lieved host, and it is quite likely that tin,, course will be puisued.—Sunhury Daily.

It happens that at Major Gearliart's home, Sou Hi Dan v ille, he has an ap ple an t a pear troe standing clone to gether.

As indicated by its odor and coloring the freak was an apple, although in form it was a large and beautifully shapjd pear. The Major reg irded it as a curiosity and sent it. along with tint apple to Har risburg. On Saturday he received a reply from H. A. Surface, M. SC., Economic Zoologist, which attests to the high estimate placed upon the value of the freak and pays a fine compliment to the Major for his zeal and intelligent action in thus contrib uting to the cause of science: Harrisburg, Ha., Aug. 12.

I take great pleasure in examining this in teresting freak,as it is something very unusual There have been artificial crosses between the pear and the ap ple, but I know of none that was nat ural. 1 wish to ask if there wore any others of this pear-shaped fruit on your apple tree. What is the variety of the apple? 1 think that your explanation as to the cross by carrying tlie pollen from your Bartlett pear to the blossom of the apple is correct. You will be interested in knowing what disposi tion I shall in ike of it. First I shall photograph the apple and pear, side by side; then, I shall have a cast made of the Fear-apple, and paint it so as to get the natural size, form and color; then, I shall cut the fruit open to determine its flavor and edible qualities from the inside,preserve the seeds for planting, and by putting the two halves together again, I can have it apparently uninjured from the out side, and preserve it in a liquid. The horticulturists will bo greatly inter ested in this, and 1 shall discuss it at the State] Horticultural Association next January. 1 thank you lor sending this,and ap preciate your intelligence and prompt ness in so doing, rati.or than mere ly following the dictates of a curious desire to eat it, or ignore its interest ing features lam very trulv yours, H.

L. & W. railroad, was in this city Fri day looking over tlie canal bridge on Church street, which is in ueed of re pairs. The engineer's visit was in re sponse to a communication from the Borough calling the railroad company'f attention to the unsafe condition ol the bridge, suggesting that it be re- a culvert to take its place. Tho engineer's visit revealed no op position to this | lan. It seems to be the general policy pursued to replace the bridges with culverts or to fill up tho canal entirely. The engineer took the view that the latter plan would be perfectly feasible here, as the canal as it is viewed by the railroad company is not a public waterway and may be dispensed with at pleasure. ihe Borough's proposition was that the railroad company construct tho mason work of the culvert, employing the stone in the abutment and wing walls of the present bridge. The en gineer yesterday did not commit him self as to any definite action that the railroad company might take in the premis ••s, but there seems to bi a clear understanding that tiie railroad com pany will co-operate with the Borough in replacing the bridge with a culvert of some sort, tho Borough furnishing and carting tho earth to the spot and the railroad company providing the water way, which may be formed of terra cotta pipe of large dimensions. Enormous Traffic on the Ferry. Some idea of the enormous tralfic over the river at this place and con sequently tho necessity of having the bridge restored at the earliest possible date can be formed by observing the crowded corditiou of the ferry at all hours of the day. A correct count on Saturday last was kept between the hours of (5:30 a. m and <> :ti() p. in., when it was found that 2071 persons ami 47-1 vehicles were transported over the river. This, it will he observed, is tor twelve hours only and does not include some thirty wagons or mill employes who crossed at an earlier hour. Ferryman Jones last evening stated that a conservative estimate would place the average number of vehicles which cross tho river by ferry daily at thro.i hundred. No one will imagine that the single ferryman on duty at onetime in hand ling tliia enoinions aggregate of peo ple and teams lias any tiling like a sinecure of it. There are innumerable details to look after. The ferry boat must he kept from grounding at the landings the teams must he disponed about tin- hoat in such a way that tlio ferry may be loide I to the best advan tage, while when the water is low it requires constant exertion to keep the ferryboat moving, i'lie lidelity of the two ferrymen, 111• •ir care and good niaiii'gt ni-nr is w.ll attested by the steady service rendered bv tlie ferry and the fact that not an accident in the hast serious h:»> o ruired on the boat during the whole summer.

River Goal a Scarce Article.l Oje of the effects of the record break ing Hood, which is very generally de plored, was to sweep the deposit ot rivur coal ojt of the lower North branch, which at this place and at Sunbury was formerly the foundation of quite an industry. The Water Works at this place, which since the miners' strike has depended mainly upon river coal, has been obliged to full back in part upon mine coal and now is using the first ear load of that kind since last spring n year ago. The deposit of river eoal at Sunbury is exceedingly limited and that which has been shipped to this city is very small 111 size. The Danville coal dig ger is standing idle and has been used very little since the Fourth of July. xrvpii tJiJtjJLj'Qtt'Ulfit near the bend of the river where the digger was employed profitably last year, have about disappeared, while a Sunbury party who recently examinod the river above our town found little or no coal. The theory is that the ice gorges as they moved along swept the coal from the bottom of the river, while wliat , ever coal may have been released at the mines has not reached Danville. The situation, it will be seen, admits of hope, as the next big flood may bring a fresh deposit of coal. End of Bitter Fight.

SURVEYING FOR A SWITCH A corps of surveyors belonging to the Pennsylvania railroad company j caine up to South Danville Friday wliere they ran a line for a switch to be used (luring the construction of the > river bridge. A switch by which material can he j unloaded at the bite of the bri Ige is considered essential if the work is to proceed with despatch.

The hue as run yesterday branches off trom the main track a fnw rods east of the J ferry crossiug on the laud of H. 11. 1 Vastine; it crosses the roadway lead- | ing down to the ferry just above the pump house, proceeding thence in nearly a straight line across the lands of Hoover Bros, aud J. H. Kase to the eiflrauce to the bridge. Just as soon as a right of way is set tled the railroad company will begin the building of the switch,which will involve a considerable amount of work, as the deep gully between the pump house and Hoover Bros., lot will have to be bridged in some way. Thare seems to be no questiou now about work beginning 011 the bridge at an early day. The Morning News yesterday receiv ed authoritative information to the effect that H. R. Leonard, who drew up the plans aud specifications for the bridge, has received the appointment as Construction engineer.

A Visit to the Snake Den. Oscar Mollin and John Marshall a day or two ago took one of their per iodical walks down the river and they did not forget to pay a visit to the snake den, which, the two men have known from their boyhood and whore in their time they have slaughtered venomous reptiles by the score. This ill-favored spot, which consists of a rock ledge near the foot of the hill, lies on the right sido of the road some forty rods below Lover's Leap. It seems to wield some mysterious in fluence over the snakes and they wig gle their way in droves to this spot where they die by the hand of man. During the last throe years Oscar aud John on their various visits to the spot have slaughtered sixty eight ' copperheads, two adders and three gigantic blaeksnakes within a radius [ OrtO A., tIiiUJL last visit seven more conperheads were added to the list of those gone before, four killed 011 the trip down the river and three on returning. In connection with the snakes killed 011 the last trip an incident occurred, which was far out of the ordinary. The three snakes killed on the way iown were thrown upon a rook by the roadside. On their return home up the Northumberland road our towns men were preceded by two gentlemen in a buggy who were witnesses of the strange sight. Along the roadside was a blacksnake six feet long, in the act of swallowing one of the hlauglit tered copperheads. The big blacksnake with its half swallowed prey was unable to escape and was killed,there by adding one more to the long list of serpents which had yielded u;i their lives on the spot. The Death Penalty. A little tiling sometimes results in death. Thus a mere scratch,insignifi cant cuts or puuy boils have paid Mid death penalty. It is wise to have Bucklen's Arnica Salve ever handy. It's the best Salve on earth and will prevent fatality, when Hums, Sores, Ulcers aud Piles threaten. Only 250 at Paules & Co's Drug Store. Funeral of George W, Askins.
