ing with about a half hundred mem
bers. The number increased to 80, but
a time caiue when the lodge went back
ward a little, getting down to a mem

the City Hall building and will begin
at 7:30 o'clock.
This lodge will iu a short time go
to Berwick to visit the Odd Fellows
there and witness their degree work.
Struggle With Mad Dog.
Misses Sue and Mary Danuer of
Easton, were rescued from the fierce
attack of a mad bulldog ou Sunday in
time probably to ,«ve their lives. They
are sisters of Civil Engineer John
Danuer of the Danville and Blooms
burg trolley road, and daughters of
State Senator Thomas Danuer.
They were walking with Arthur
Smith, a musician of that city, allow
ing their brother's pet bull dog togo
with them. On their way home the
animal suddenly began to growl and
in an instant ferociously attacked Miss
Sue Danuer. Smith grasped a club
and struck the dog,which then sprang
for the throat of Miss Mary Danuer.
Again Smith iuterposed aud swinging
to one side as the wild brute advanced
the man caught the dog arouud the
neck. The man's hands tighteued like
a steel band but the tenacious brute
fought desperately, tearing the flesh
on the arms of the courageous music
ian, who called to the young ladies to
fie >. They stood transfixed fort wenty
minutes while the terrible struggle be
tween man and beast lasted. At the
end of that time the boll dog was
choked to death.
Smith was nearly exhausted Irom
the terrible strain, and eveu on Mon
day night the youug ladies were great
ly uunerved as a result of their dang
erous experience.
State to Build Bridge.
The Dauphin County Court has over
ruled the exceptions of the Attorney
General in the matter of rebuilding
the Catawissa river bridge and has
directed that the bridge be rebuilt by
the Commonwealth.
The Columbia County Commission
ers art* of the opinion that the above
decision of the Dauphin County Court
may possibly mean an entirely new
bridge at Catawissa. This would seem
to he implied, they say, by the fact
that the opinion dismisses the At
torney's General s exceptions to the
viewers' report, which, it will be re
membered, called for an entire new
and stronger bridge with two addi
tional piers.
Christian Endeavor Convention.
An excellent opportunity is offered
those who desire to attend the Christ

Operating Another Launch.
Persous who frequent the small boats
on the river now may have better ac
commodation than hitherto, since an
other launch began operating vester
riay. It is the one run by Charles Hul
lihen and is ready for good service,
having just been thoroughly overhaul

BUILT IN 1812:
8111 AS EVER
Few people of Danville are aware of
the fact that this city can boast of hav
ing iu its immediate vicinity a house
' that is almost a centenarian, that wa.i
erected during the time of America's
first war after the United States be
came a nation and that still stands firm
and strong in spite of its weight of
years, a land-mark whose history is of
great interest. Moreover this antique
structure is owned by a well-known
man of this city, James Shultz, of
Market street, who himself for many
years lived iu tne house, which now
is occupied by a son of Mr. Shultz,
who works the farm ou which it
stands.
Near the old canal, less than a mile
beyond the hospital, is a quaint stoue
structure ttiat has attracted the atten
tion of many passers-by. They never
dreamed, perhaps, that the sturdy house
is nearing the age of a hundred years
and was iu process of erection when
the United States was demonstrating
to Great Britaiu that the rights of
American seamen must be respected.
Iu truth the house was built, away back
iu 1812, when Canada was being in
vaded aud the famous battleship Con
stitution was winning memorable nav
al victories over the British ships. So
extremely aged is the buildiug that
Mr. Shultz,the present owner,can not
tell by whom it was erected although
he purchased it at an early date,at the
close of the Civil War.
It was about 1867 that lie bought the
property and he lived there until about
fifteen years ago, when he removed to
Danville. He improved the place a
little, among other things removing
au old-fashioned fire place. When he
weut to cut the wall to place a wind
ow in it he found the mortar as hard
as the stone. This was due to the fact
that the mortar was made of wood
burnt lime and was possibly stroneer
than the modern kind.
On a stone over the door are the
figures, "1812" showing the time of
erection. A huge Mock of stoue is in
the place of a door step and is itself a
relic of the past, being of a size not
commonly seen now. It is in oue soild
pieoe 14 feet long by 12 feet wide.
Mr. Shultz says that today the house
is practically as good as new. The
only parts of it weakened by age are
window frames and the roof, but the
main structure stands in defiance of
the elements and old Father Time.
This intensely interesting and his
torical dwelling is well worth a visit.
Mine May Engulf Town.
The Pennsylvania aud Reading Kail
road Companies Monday had a large
force of men patroliug the tracks at
Enterprise,where the mine fire, which
started last Saturday rages with more
fury than ever. Portable telegraph
otlices have been set up aud the most
vigilant care is being exercised to
guard against trains being swallowed
up by the burning mine, over which
the railroads run.
Part of the village of Enterprise al
so rests on the danger ground, and
people are fearful that if the conflagra
tion is not conquered the fire will eat
its way far enough to the surface and
cause many houses to be engulfed bv
cave-ins.
All trains east aud west on each
railroatl are run with greatly reduced
speed through Enterprise. If the
menace becomes moro immediate the
roadbeds will be changed.
The fire is causing incalculable dam
age to the workings. Every stick of
lumber in the slope is burned away.
Already a portion of the ground has
caved in, and there is danger that the
slope will entirely close.
This slope runs uuder the Philadel
phia and Reading and Pennsylvania
Railroads, and, should the earth give
way, the tracks may be engulfed. In
the event of a cave-in the stations on
either side will be immediately notifi
ed and traffic will be suspended until
the road is repaired.
Water is now being pumped into a
10,000 gallon tank at the head of the
slope, and when it becomes full a gate
is opened, thus allowing the water to
rush into the workings. In the opin
ion of experts this method of flooding
is more effective than a steady stream
flowing in.
The drift running under the rail
road tracks and connecting with the
main workings is being closed with a
hermetically sealed battery. A new
slope which was recently sunk does
not counect with the olrl workings,
and was pat down with the intentiou
of tapping veins heretofore undevelop
ed. It is the intention of the manage
ment to push the work iu this section
of the mine, where many of the em
ployes will work while the fire iu the
old workings is being fought.
Burr Stock Company.
The Burr Stock Company, support
ing the young romantic character act
or, Morris Burr, under the personal
direction of Frank H. Mackey, will
open a solid week's engagement at the
Opera House Mouday night. As an
opening bill the company will present
Hal Reid's greatest play of the south
land, "Knobs o' Tennessee." Mr.
Burr will be seen to advantage m oue
of his favorite characters, that of Joe
Preston, the moonshiner. The com
pany carries an excellent corps of
vaudeville artists who will entertain
royally between the acts of each play
presented. Owen and Sunlin, the
Dutch sketch artists,are i>eers in their
lina and there is no more laughable act
upon the stage today than that pres
ented by these hilariously funny peo
ple. Al Dashington.the jubilee danc
er aud Gleu Burt, the Hebrew comed
ian, as well as Emma Bolton, the
singing and dancing soubrette and
Prof. Mack's dog comedians contribute
much to the vaudeville part of the
show.

A bloody Italian row is reported to
have occurred across the rivi r Sunday
evening and one man claims to have
been robbed of all his nion y, stripped
of his clothes aud badly cut with a
razor wielded by a fellow countrymau
who has escaped, according to the ac
count of the affair givi n hy the mm
who was so brutally handled.
The Italian said to have perpetrated
the bold outrage is called Dominic and
is described as a big man wearing a

ually a retl handkerchief tier) around
his neck, lie is spoken of a.- a familiar
figure on the street, here. The other
man's name also is Domini •, but it is
understood lie is known too as liossa.
He is a small man who wa-going over
the river with a note for two men to
report at another plan- for work yes

would go with him. They started
down the Pennsylvania railroad to

Italian insisted on the little fellow
going to the woods for apples. This
Rossa finally consented to do and it
was when ho reached a secluded spot
that his companion assaulted and rob
bed him, so he alleges.
The big Italian drew a razor aud de
manded his money, whereupon liossa
gave up a pocketbook containing $3.25
but this was thrown away and the un
satisfied robber fiercely attacked bio,
choking him and then placing Ins knee
on the chest of Rossa after throwing
him to the ground. The clothes wero
torn from the man's body aud be was
cut in numerous places, but not dang
erously, before Dominic found the
money he was after. The victim of the
robbery had §<! l tied around one of his
legs.including money received on Sat
urday, which was pay day. This was
taken and Dominic left his almost ex
hausted countryman lying helpless in
the darkness.
It developed later that, the Italians
Rossa was goinu to see ha I heard the
noise of the struggle, but in the dark
ness could not see the prostrate form
of the man who was being robbed and
whom Dominic choked -o that he could
not give an alarm. When liossa final

an entirely new lot that he exhibited
last night. They had been selected

were of a highly instructive class, anil

caused considerable discussion an I in

The wall, of course, is great lv i !
led. As the city is having a wall end
ed at the Water Works tin county w ill
to connect with this and run to tl >-
bridge would make a decided imprcve
raent in the appearance of the i: v r
bank at that point,which is espi ■ • 111 y
important because of beiiiE oie of th

j Pennsylvania station coming to Dai

however, is the main consideration
What many persons now advocate i
the erection of the wall and tilling in
back of it, the planting of trci s aud
finally the construction of a band sand
—in short the transformation of the
placo into a small and pr. tty watt i

SUB CONTRACT LET
FOB ERECTION
Definite news concerning tlie action
of tlie King Bridge Company,of Cleve t
laud, Ohio, in 1110 matter of the Dan
ville river bridge is at last within
possession of J'he [AMERICAN, and
thin paper now can give its readers in
formation that will be gladly welcom
ed. In fact work on the superstruct
ure of the new bridge will start on
November Ist and there is a possibil
ity of its completion within eight |
weeks, just about in time to come as a
good, substantial Christmas present j
for Danville folks.
George E. Gilford, of New York
City, representing the King Kridge
Company,and P. J. Collins, of Horse
heads, N. Y., of the Horseheads Con
struction Company arrived in Dan
ville yesterday and last night were in
conference with Engineer Leonard, of
the Caldwell, Barry & Leonarl Com
pany to whom the subcontract for the
masonry work was let several montns
ago. Just as the sub contract for the
erection of abutments and pier.s was
let to the firm above named the work
of erecting the iron of the bridge is to
be given to another firm, the Horse
heads Construction Company. Mr.
Collins will be the superintendent of
construction.
Oar representative last night in
terviewed Messrs. Gilford and Collins,
who explained that the King Bridge
Company will make aud ship the iron
for the bridge and the Horseheads
Company will erect it. The material
will arrive over the Pennsylvania rail
road. The erection of the false work,
Mr. Collins says, will begin on Nov
ember Ist. By the time it has pro
gressed far enough for the iron to be
set np the material will be here. Ask
ed how long it would take to erect the
superstructure, he replied that it was
entirely a matter of conjecture,as high
water sometimes interferes with the
operations, which might also be other
wise delayed, but he thought that un
der favorable circumstances the task
might be completed in two months.
Mr. Collins will leave this city today.
Confessions of a Priest.
Rev. Juo. S. Cox, of Wake, Ark.,
writes, "For 12 years I suffered from
Yellow Jaundice. I consulted a num
ber of physicians and tried all sorts of
medicines, but got no relief. Then I
began the use of Electric Bitters and
feel that I am now cured of a disease
that hail me in its grasp for twelve
ye'ars." If you want a reliable medi
cine for Liver and Kidney trouble,
stomach disorder or general debility,

First Aid for Railroaders.
A course of lectures to educate the
Pennsylvania railroad employes in tin
care of injured in emergency cases has
been begun at Altoona by Dr. H. P.
Pownell, cbiet medical examiner for
the relief department there, and it is
announced that all the engineers, con
ductors, firemen, flagmen and btake
meu between Philadelphia aud Pitts
burg will be obliged to attend similar
lectures at an early date. At the same
time the company is equipping all
baggage cars and cabins with stretch
ers and first aid packages.
The first aid equipment is not a new
idea, but the course of practical lect
ures upon the proper use of the appli
ances is. It is characteristic of the
Pennsylvania to take the load iu ibis,
but the wonder is that it has not been
done before. It involves considerable
expense to the company aud some lit
tle inconvenience to the trainmen,but
the benefits that are bound to follow
are so numerous that they more than
warrant the outlay in money aud time.
The amount of needless pain that
will be prevented, to mention but ono
of the results of intelligent and sys
tematic first aid training, is incalcul
able. Trainmen, passengers and oth
ers injured now at remote points are
frequently compelled to rely upon the
totally untrainnd ministrations of the
train crew until they are hurried to
some hospital or j lace where a physi
cian can attend to their injuries. Be
the efforts of these nurses ever so ten
der they almost invariably fail to al
leviate the pain aud as a result untold
agony is the lot of the injured person
for a long period just at a time when
pain has a particularly weakening
etfect upon the system. This is not
because the trainmen do not appreciate
the importance of stopping the suffer
ing; they simply do uot know how to
do it.
The natural effect of this lack of
proper attention at a time when it is
most needed is that the shock to the
nervous system frequently is more
troublesome than the actual physical
injury. But if the conrse of lectures
which the Pennsylvania officials pur
pose giving is wisely directed to cov
er the peculiar needs of railroais the
day is not far distant when this un
necessary danger will be reduced to a
minimum on their road at least.

The Danville and Bloomshurg Sllei«t
