MED BLOCKS
LIID YESTERDAY
The work of putting down the pav
iug blocks botwoeu the trolley tracks
was begun yesterday moniiug aud be
fore night considerable progress had
been made.
The groove in the bricks noarest the
rails on either side is scaroely dis
cernible and one must look closely to
observo it. It is wide enough to per
mit the tlauge of a trolley car wheel
to run smoothly but is so close to the
rail that it cannot interfere in any
way with travel.
Contrary to expectations no paving
will be laid this week Tho streot has
been graded and concreted as far as
the D. L. & W. railroad crossing aud
is ready for the bricklayers but as the
trolley tracks have not been put down
the laying of brick had to be poßtj>on
ed.
The trolley compauy thought It ad
visable to wait until the street north
of the railroad crossing had been grad
ed to Bloom street. This is as far as
the tracks extend aud as the distance
was so short it was thought better to
wait a few days and then lay the
tracks the entire distance.
Excavating is proceeding rapidly de
spite the extremely hard digging. A
number of men are already at work at
a point Noith of Northumberland
street and by the olose of next week it
is expected that the excavating and
grading will be completed to the end
of the paving line at Centre street.
Contractor D. J. Rogers stated yes
terday that he is hurrying the work
along in order to complete the job be
fore there is a likelihood of cold weath
er. As soon as grading is completed to
Center street, the square between the
Montour House aud the bridge will be
started.
Orading as far as Bloom street will
be completed by Friday night and the
trolley company will then put down
the rails. This work oau be complet
ed in two days.
A Home Wedding.
On Saturday, September 24th, at
high noon a number of friends assem
bled at the residence of Mr. and Mrs.
G. M. Bogart.iu West Hemlock town
ship, Montour oouuty, to witness the
mam ago of
township. At the appointed hour the
wedding party marched into the par
lor to the strains of Mendelssohn's
wedding'march played by Mrs. J. W.
Bell. The bride and groom were at
tended by Miss Daisy and Lewis Bog
art, sister and brother of the bride.
The officiating minister was Rev. J.
W. Bell, of Strawberry Ridge, pastor
of the bride.
The bride was attired in a beautiful
costume of blue Mohair trimmed with
cream colored lace and carried a boquet
of white asters. The bridesmaid wore
dark blue and carried pink asters.
The iiarlor was prettily deoorated with
flowers and plants. After the cere
mony a delicious wedding dinner was
served to the guests. The bride is one
of the most popular young ladies iu
the neighborhood, and the groom is
well known in this section.
Mr. and Mrs. Girton expect togo to
house keeping in the spring on a large
farm near Grovania aud will oarry
with them to their new home the good
wishes of,their many friends.
A GUEST.
Oora Orop Will Not be Large.
The farmers are very busy just now
cutting corn which this year will be
only a fair crop.
A great many of the farmers had to
plant corn the second time last spring
and in nearly every instance where
this was done the crop provad a fail
are. Those who succeeded with the
first planting were more fortunate and
will have a big yield.
Many complaints are also made in
regard to the corn drying properly.
The grains should dry on ttiecob close
together, iu order to retain the mois
ture but in every crop much of the
corn is separating and the cob can be
easily seen between the rows. This
has a tendency to spoil it to some ex
tent aud makes an appreciable differ
ence iu its sale as feed.
A number of farmers in this vioin
ity have cut very large and fine crops.
Some very large and fine specimens
are seen, nearly all of them grown
from the first planting.
In Northumberland county there is
one farmer who has raised the largest
crop of corn in the history of the farm
His neighbor who had to replant his
corn field will not get five bushels for
his trouble.

A WELL EQUIPPED
LINE
Fred M. Owen yesterday afternoon
took a party consisting of Will G.
Brown,F. P. Johnson and a represent
ative of the News over tho Danville
and Bloomsbuig Trolley line in his
Oldsmobile touring car. Frequent
stops were made to better view the
progress that has reoently been made,
and at each point where workmen are
still employed It was evident that
only the finishing touches were neces
sary to complete the lino and put it in
first-class working order.
On the outward journey the first
activity that was noticed was a gang
of about 30 men who were removing
the weeds aud dirt from the track and
cleaning up tlie line in geueral This
work had progressed to a point half
way between (Jrovauia aud Danville,
so that there now remains but three
miles to be cleaned up. The track
from the place where these men were
working to the Fishing Oreek bridge
presents au appearance that would do
credit to the road bed of a modern
steam railway.
At the Power House the same work
of completing the final details was go
ing OD. E. F. Smith, who is to have
charge of the plant, was busily oc
cupied putting thing* in systematic
order so that the engines may be start
ed on a moment's notice. This morn
ing the Joints on the switch board will
be soldered up, the feed wire will be
connected to tho board aud all will be
iu readiness to operate the plant.
At the Fishing Oreek bridge tho
workmen were plaoing the heavy over
head "traveler" iu plaoo, aud had al
ready put some of the rails in position
on the false work. At the Bloomsburg
end of the bridge there is a particular
ly sharp curve, for which is needed a
speoial piece of track. This will bo
plaoed in position today. With this
carve completed nothing remains to be
done but lay a few rails on the bridge
and string the feed wire across the
oreek aud the liue will be ready for
the first car.
The tour of inspection was continu
ed from the Fishing Creek bridge to
the car barn of the Montour & Col
umbia Trolley Company where the
party viewed the Danville aud Blooms
burg company's beautiful and commo
dious cars, which were recently de
scribed in this paper.
Mr. Pascoe stated last eveniug that
the engines at the power house will
be started this afternoon.
Late Blackberries.
Heber L. DeWitt, assistant station
agent at South Danville is still pick
iug blackberries at his Walnutdalo
farm near Riverside. He states that
there are many berries ou the place
still in excellent condition aud unless
a heavy frost occurs the crop will last
for several weeks. Mr. DeWitt pre
sented a representative of the News
with a box of these fine berries yester
day. He gives the following explan
ation for the berries ripeuing at this
season of the year.
"Realizing that extra early berries
oould not be profitably raised in this
latitude for the reason of keen South
ern competition and late frost, about
(Pftfi voara t ago^l be^a u experimenting
of originating a later variety. After
much thought aud patience 1 am
euabled to herewith present you with
a box of "Pride of Waluutdale" pick
ed from the bushes this 2tith day of
September.
Although I have run out a number
of experiments without result, this
one seems to be a great boon to horti
culture by being fixed iu character
and not a freak.
This result was obtained by root
grafting the Snyder (faithful as dog
Tray) on the ever reliable Kittatiu
ny aud the progeny polliuized with
the famous Minnewaski from the
great Northwest and therefore noted
tor its hardiness.
I have no plants for sale, but as
sure those interested, that they can
secure them from a Tollable nursery
company of Rochester, N. Y. iu time
for Spring planting 190G—satisfactory
arrangements having beeu made
through them for introduction aud
general distribution."

Re-Uylng Pavement.
Landlord Oliver Drumheler is lower
ing aud resetting the pavement in
front of the Hotel Oliver to conform
with the new conditions arisiug since
Mill street has been paved.
There was a difference of 18 inches
in the grade at ttie northern end of
the hotel and 10 inches at the south
ern end. It was at first thought that
excavating to such an extent would
make a great difference in appearances
This was not the case however, aud
the change is a decided improvement.

Provisions Scarce on South Side.
The population of South Danville
and Riverside has been increased to
no little extent with the influx of
bridge builders, Italian laborers,etc.
and the business of merchants on the
South side as well as those who peddle
in that vicinity is increased accord
ingly.
Several of the bridge mechanics
have temporarily moved their fami
lies to South Danville and occupy
houses that were vacated by families
moving to Danville until the bridge
is erected. Mmy homos aro filled
with boarders and the hotel lias all
the guests it can accommodate.
On Saturday the feiry traffic was so
heavy and the flat boat moved so slow
ly that the Dtuville wagons wore un
able to make their deliveries until
very late. Heavy purchases had been
made on this side of the river for Sat
urday and Sunday and the drivurs
were compelled to make more trips
than is customary.
The butchers and bakers were sold
oat early. A scarcity of bread kept
the bakers' wagons on the other side
until after eight o'clock. In order
to bu sure of a supply for Sunday
many people niaio special trips to
Danville Saturday night to make
their purchases for Sunday.
The South side is by 110 nutans a
slow place these days especially in
the evening. The bridge men are a
sociable lot auil havo mile things
pretty lively.

REVISITING HIS
FORMER HOKE
William M. Miller of Washington,
D. (J., will return home today at'tor a
several days visit with old friends and
acquaintances in this city. Mr. Mil
ler was a resident of Danville prior
to the Civil War and this visit is the
first in many years.
Mr. Miller was born in Mittlinburg
and came to Danville in 1834 when
still a boy. On September 14th, 1855
he enlisted as a member of Co. B, 9th
Infantry, United States Array for a
term of five years under Captajjj Fred
Dent. The regiment, •which was sta
tioned at Walla Walla, Washington
territory, participated in many of the
Indian Wars and Mr. Miller's exper
iences woro of a very thrilling char
acter. The 9th Infantry was com
manded by Major William Grier, son
of the late Michael Grier of this city.
Mr. Miller received his discharge a
short time before his enlistment ex
pired and he was paid oil' at Vancou
ver, Oregon. After a visit to San Fran
cisco and other points in the west lie
returned to Danville in 1859.
After a short stay here ho went to
Philadelphia where lie enlisted in the
United States Navy aud was assigned
to duty on the cruiser Brooklyn, un
der the command of Admiral Farragot.
This boat took American Minister
McLain to Vera Cruz, Mexico, during
the Race and Church War in that
country. Mr. Miller was one of thir
ty marines that were sent ashore at
Tampeco, Mexico, for the protection
of United States Consul McChase.
He was on shore dutv three months at
this point aud was quartered at the
best hotel in the city.
Returning to America he was for a
time stationed at Norfolk, Va., later
on sailing for the Isthmus ot Panama.
He accompanied a corps of engineers
over the site of the Panama Canal
route before returning. While on the
ocean bound for the Staies a sailing
vessel imparted the news that Abra
ham Lincoln had been elected Presi
dent and that great excitement pre
vailed in the South.
Tha Brooklyn,after carrying a force
of artillery from Fortress Monroe to
Fort Taylor at Key West, Florida,was
ordered to the mouth of the Mississip
pi river for blockade duty. But a
short stay was made here, the vessel
returning to the Brooklyn Navy Yard
aft p r which it was taken out of com
mission.
Mr. Miller, after a 15 days furlough
which was spent in Danville, was as
signed to the gunboat Westfield com
manded by Captain Renshaw and
again returned to the Mississippi riv
er. Under Admiral Porter he partic
ipated in the engagements and sur
render of Fort Jackson and Fort St.
Philip.
The city of Galveston was the next
place captured but it was retaken by
the rebels and in order to avoid cap
ture the Westfi'ld was blown up.
Fourteen men, including three com
missioned officers were killed in the
explosion.
Mr. Miller was then ordered to New
Orleans and assigned to Admiral
Farragut's flagship Hartford. On
this ship,in March ISt'>2 he participat
ed in the battle of Fort Hudson. Dur
sissippi was destroyed aud 100 men
lost. Admiral Dewey was lieutenant
on this ill fated boat but escaped
with his life. After participating in
the battles of Grand Gulf aud Vickn
hurg the Hartford returned to the
Brooklyn Navy yard where Mr. Mil
ler received his final discharge.
Mr Miller was a model soldier and
marine, a clause in his discharge read
ing, "An excellent man and first rate
soldier." He has enjoyed his visit to
his old home very much. He is still
in good health aud in his reminiscen
ces shows a remarkable memory. His
visit to Danville has been of great in
terest to him as well as to his many
ftieiids.
From 148 to 92 Pounds.
One of the most remarkable cases of a
cold, deep-seated on tlie lungs, caus
ing pneumonia, is that of Mrs. Gert
rude E. Fenuer, Marion, lud., who
was entirely cured by the use of One
Minute Cough Cure. She says:"The
couching and straining so weakened
me that Iran down in weight from
148 to S)2 pounds. I tried a number of
remedies to no avail until I used One
Minute Cough Cure. Four bottles of
this wonderful remedy cured me en

Continental Hose Company's Picnic.
The Continental Hose Company's
pienic at Hunter's Park on Saturday
was not as great a success as the fire
meu had hoped for. The cool weath
er was mainly responsible, many
thinking that being in the woods at
this season would be anything but
pleasant.
A fair sized crowd attended iu the
afternoon and in the evening the pa
vilion was crowded. The crowd
present had a most enjoyable time the
Committee being well prepared to en
tertain them. The picnic was by no
means a failure and a small sum was
realized above expenses. This picnic
closed tho season at this resort.
The cash prizes for which chances
were sold were not awarded as the

P. k R. OFFICIALS
VISIT DANVILLE
General Superintendent A. T. Dice
of the Philadelphia & Heading Rail
way Company, accompanied by J. D.
Turk Superintendent of the Shamokin
division arrived in this city Friday.
In company with Oouncilmen George
lieifsuyder, Albert Lloyd, Arthur Die
trich and John H. Goeser, comprising
the Streets and Bridges Committee and
W. F. Pascoe and F. C. Angle, Esq.,
of the Danville and Bloomsburg Street
Hallway Compauy.tho site of the pro
posed A street underground crossing
was visited and fully gone over.
The Heading company officials have
made a proposition to putin a road
way thirty feet in width runniug un
der their tracks at the foot of A street,
which will open up that thoroughfara
and form a connection with Walnut
street. In return the Heading com
pany desires the Borough to close the
crossing leading over the tracks be
tween Walnut and Cross streets.
The roadway under the tracks as pro
posed, would be plenty wide euough
to accommodate the trolley line and
all vehicles that would have occasion
to uso it. The roadway would be ac
cessible from Nicholas avenue and
could bo used with as much conveni
ence and more safety than the cross
ing now being used at Cross street.
Many people are of the opinion that
the roadway svould be a great improve
ment aud would eliminate a railroad
crossing that has always been consid
ered more or less ctangerous.
By turning from Bloom into A street,
which is the first street above the
Grove Presbyterian church, and com
ing down Walnut street, the troliey
line will take in all but two blocks of
its original route aud will not be com
pelled to fight through another grade
crossing.
Plans and specifications will be
drawn up by the Heading company and
submitted to Council at a special meet
ing called for next Friday evening.

RECKEATK )N T . —The Association
stands for clean athletics. Such sports
as are moral and manly in their ac

MALE CHOIR
ORGANIZED
A male choir of eighteen voices has
receutly been assembled at St. Hub
ert's German Catholic church and is
being instructed by Dr. George A.
Stock. The choir consists of nine men
and nine boys and is holdiug weekly
rehearsals.
The radioal change is not only
conspicuous for the absence of female
voices but for the entire elimination
of the florid stylo of masio usually
sung in Catholic churches aud the
magnificent masses which bordered on
oratorio and which were listened to
with much interest everywhere.
The change is made by a recent edict
issued by Pope Pius X in which a
request was made that the Catholic
choirs return to the old Gregorian
chant. This chant, was originated by
Pope Gregory the First, known as
Gregory the Great. The ohaut is a
plain song, a kind of uuisouous music
and is made up according to the eight
celebrated ohurch modes.
The Pope has appointed a commission
to select such portions of the chant as
will best suit the present choirs and
as soon as the task is completed the
manuscript will.be given to the music
publishers who will issue it in the
original text.
Dr. Stock is paving the way for the
change aud St. Hubert's congregation

Hospital Should Have Benefit.
Quite a number of Dauville people
are agitating a btuefit of some kiud
for.the Mary Paoker Hospital at Sun
bury and it is a project that should be
heartily encouraged.
The Sunbury institution is a most
worthy one aud Danville receives prob
ably more beuefit than auy other town
outside of Northumberland conuty.
The hospital trustees are ever ready to
succor the siok and helpless and many
persons owe their live 3 to its exist
ence.
There are mauy ways bt raising
funds,and pleuty of volunteers to help
so worthy a cause can be fouud iu this
city. A home talent opera or theatri
cal performance or better still a good
couoert have been suggested. Many
musicians, instrumentalists as well as
vocalists,have said their services were

would take hold of a benefit for the
hospital.
A week or two ago a number of ladies
gave a festival for the benefit of the
institution and Stoe-i' band furnished
the music. It was all arranged quiet
ly without maoh ostentation, yet over
SSO was raised. This fact alone shows
that our people appreciate the immense
value of the hospital and that they are
anxious to show it in a material man
ner. The institution is a philanthropic
one and like other towns Danville
should give a share toward its sup
port.

A THRILLING
EXPERIENCE
John R. Sharploss, the well kuowa '
Hazletou lawyer had a most thrilling
ex|»orieiice with a burglar on Monday
night. Mr. Sharploss is a son-in-law
of Mrs. W. M. Uearhart, West Market
street and is quite well known here.
The Hazletou ' Plain Speaker" of
Tuesday night gives the following
accouut of the adventure:
"J. R. Sharpies* and J. H. Bigelow
had experiences last night with a in 111
believed to be the sneak thief who has
been operating in Hazletou for the
past two weeks. He got into the resi
dence of the former atii was on the
back porch of the home of the latter,
but was scared off before he could gaiu
an entrance to the building. Mr. Sharp
less had the rao f e exciting time of the
two.
Mr. Sharpless and family with the
exception of the sorvant girl, May
Smith,htt'l retired for the night. Miss
Smith returned home from church at
about 10:30 o'clock. Having a key to
the kitchen she opened the door and
was just about to close and lock it
again when an unknowu man sprang
from a dark corner of the porch. Plac
ing one of bis feet between the door
and tho door jam lie prevented the girl
from shutting it.
With rare presence of mind Miss
Smith ran through tho kitchen into
the dining room and, looking the door
of the latter, which connects with the
kitohcQ, summoned Mr. Sharpless and
sxplained the situation to liiui.
Mr. Sharpless is somewhat of "a
strategist and tried to entrap tho in
truder by yelliug to his neighbor, L.
0. Emmerich, to telephone fur the
police. Mr. Emmerich was fist asl-ep
and wasn't dreaming of trouble. Ho
could not be aroused,so Mr. Sharploss,
clad i•» his night gown and bull robe,
which give him the appearance ot a
Roma is nator seen on tin Mage in
Sha':> s,i<' »ro 111 plays,decided to 'phone
him >'lt regardless of consequeuces.
11 is 'phono is in tho dining room
Ariuol .villi a revolver that he keeps
for such emergencies aud knowing that
the burglar could not get any 112 ut'ier
than the kitchen, Mr. Sharplesi went
down and rang up police headquarters.
Officer Goldsworthy responded to the
alarm, but when he and Mr. Sharpless
enteied the kitchen their bird bad
flown. The door and two windows
were wide open and there were ud
signs of the man iu the cellar or auy
other portion of the premises. The
tingling of the telephone bell no doubt
frightened him away.
Mr. Sharpless said today that if he
had not been such a conspicuous mark
in his white night clothes he would
have opened the door leadiug to the
kitchen bafore summoning the police
and engaged the burglar without
i police assistance.
It is believed that the sueak thief,
after escaping from the residence of
Mr. Sharpless, tried to get iuto the
kitchen of J. H. Bigelow, who lives
nearby. He did not, however, carry
out his plans so successfully as at the
first place he visited for the night.
People were astir in the neighborhood
at the time and he vanished."
