F., on Saturday evening will have an an niversary celebration that promises to be very enjoyable. The lodge fiudn it self prosperous on its thirty-first birth day and will observe its anniversary in a highly fitting manner. A j rograui of great interest is now being arranged. It. will consist of musical and literary numbers. The entertainment will con clude with a feast of a substantial na ture. The affair will be given by the Odd Fellows for their families and friends aud will be attended by 200 or 300 pei sons. Myrtle lodge has an interesting his tory. It was instituted in 1873, start 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 bership of 30. That did not last long, however, and at present Myrtle lodge is oue of the strongest iu every re spect in this section. It now has more than a hundred members iu good stand ing. The exercises Saturday evening will be held in the Odd Fellows rooms iu 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 ian Endeavor Convention at Light Street today. The societies of hlooinshurg have arranged for hacks to carry the delegates to and from con vention for 25 cents round fare. Leav ing Bloomsburg at 0:00 p. m. Thurs day and 8:00 a. m. 12:30 and 6:00 p. m.on Friday. Reaching Bloomsburg Friday night in time for 10:20 car home. Superintendent Davis of the trolley line has kindly consented to hold car until 10:150 oil Friday night to accommodate our Danville people. 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 ed. To get parts to replace some of the broken machinery it was neoessary to smut all the way to Muskegon, Michigan 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. (iougel-Rinehart Wedding. George Gougel, of Delaware, mnl Miss Anna Mary Rinehart, of Dan ville, were united in marriage at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon by the Rev. Dr. Shindel at his residence, 11> Lower Mulberry street. They will re side iu Delaware ( ITALIAN COT Ul! ROSBEDi 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 broad-brim hat and bin belt and us 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 terday. Dominic met him and said he would go with him. They started down the Pennsylvania railroad to wards the Italian quarters and the big 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 ly made known his plight it is said the pocketbook containing .<:{.25 that the robber threw aw.ty wa> found,but uo trace of the mail him-' If oonld he obtained.

That Hadley's moving picture en tertainment is popular hero was at tested by the large audience which witnessed it again last evening at the Grand. The patronage was only in keeping with the merits of the attrac tion, however, for Mr. Hadley's pict ures are always worth se dug. It was an entirely new lot that he exhibited last night. They had been selected with fine discrimination and pleased the audience thoroughly. While a number of the subjects were designed only to be amusing, others were of a highly instructive class, anil all the scenes of actual happenings were of the most recent kind obtain able. With hut one exception the pict ures were loudly applaude I. This was a reproduction of the Russian army on the march in Manchuria. It was round ly hissed; while the next scene, show ing the Japanese armv, was tempestu ously applauded. The demonstration simply went to show the feeling of Carbondalians over the war in the far Last. —Carhondale Leader. Hadley's Moving Pictuers will ap pear at the Danville Opera House on Saturday.

It will mean even more than just the borough fur nishing its own light, for many more lights than are in use now will be established. At the present time the vicinity of Front and Ferry streets i> an extreme ly dark place at night an I is especial ly bail for persons going to the ferry to pass through. This is just one of many locations where more illumina tioi. is needed and the municipal plant will take care of them all and lights will be plaeed where now there are i none An Old Hxhihit.

The local veterans can a-sure their comrades uI < m client treatment if they decide to come here and as this city offers numerous attrac tions to visitors it is highly j robahle that It will be chosen as then %t meeting place.

The proposition concerning tie- b 11 • I ing of the protecting \sall at the coun ty lot on the river hank has not been acted upon yet, but the question ha caused considerable discussion an I in connection with the wall pro.i ct a new j scheme has sprung up 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 ; first things that passeng rs from the j Pennsylvania station coming to Dai ville notice. The idea of protection, 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 side public park, which doubtless could he made very attractive and would 1> quite popular.

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, get Electric Bitters. It's guaranteed by Paules & Co. Cnly 50 cents. 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.
