MINOR MATTERS
OF INTEREST
There are few persons capable of
reading who do not feel and manifest
a great interest in the decisive and ap
palling straggle going on between the
Japs and Russiaus at Mukden, which
in point of uombors engaged and the
killed and wounded surpass any of
the battles recorded since history be
gan. The iuterest of the average man
aud woman in the couflict, however,
is not to be compared with the keen
mental excitement of one resident of
Danville,a Russian by birth,who serv
ed foar vears in tin Russian army.
This is I. Stein,who has charge of the
shoe repairing establishment on Mill
street, whose experience in the Army
of ttie Czar was described in these
oolonms some months ago.
" What did I tell you; I told you
80 I" said the little Russian as h> met
a newsman on tin street
"I said the Japs would defeat the
Russians. That th*y would lick Ym
hard."
The ex-soldier of the Czar in tiie
former interview drew a dismal pict
ure of Russian injustice toward its
own subjects, of gr-'el and graft as
practiced in the Army and the deep
rooted discontent which permeates not
only the rank and Hie but affects the
officers of all ranks as well As agiinst
the Japs he couldu't see that the Rus
by the Associated Press dispatcher of
yesterday and previously, which shot
that the Japs hold the winning card.
Mr. Stein admits that the lias-inn'
are wonderfal fighters and in the < 1 .sh
of arms are capable of rising equal to
almost any emergency,but smarting HS
they are under injustice and enlhn
with discontent as a mass he hoi !s that
they are no match for the well-tieat
ed, the serene and disciplined army
of the Mikado, whioh is fighting for a
principle.
The Borough Council contemplates
effecting a big saving in the lighting
of the streets by running on what is
called a moonlight schedule. It is im
possible to secure a contract of this
kind from most light companies, but
now that the Borough owns its own
plant it will be in a position to say
whether it shall run or stand idle.
There are several nights ol each month,
approximating a week, when the
streets of every town are much
lighted op by the moon than by any
system of lighting that can be devised
by man. There is at least another
week when during a porion of the
night, either in the first or la«t half,
tfie moon gives excellent service tc
•humanity By taking advantage of
these interval* it is believed that
the cost of fuel and the wear and
tear of machinery might be reduced
one-fourth. The matter has not been
fully considered by Council, but it
will come up for final action in thn
near future.
The rain of Tuesday night and yes
terday revealed a good many defects
in drainage about town. Af places on
Mill street, the water stood several
inches deep on the sidewalk Such
places, however, occur only where the
street paving last fall was completed
»oo late to permit the relaying 0 f rite
sidewalk to conform with the new
grade. In all cases, however, as soon
as spring opeus everything will be fix
ed in good shape. The paved street
will be cleaned and the sidewalks
leveled up so as to permit free drain
age in times of rain.
A new nozzle for the Continental
Kire Company has baen received at
City Hall from James Boyd and Com
pany of Philadelphia of whom the
Borough recently parehased 1000 feer
of Kureba hose. The nozzle is of the
most improved type. The opening,
however one and one-eighth inch in
diameter, wa< larger than desired and
the tip has been returned with the un
derstanding that it will be exchanged
for a smaller one of three-fourth of an
inch. In a few days the Continental
boys will receive »he new nozzle com
plete
In a few days not only City Hal)
but the four engine houses, which con
stitute Borough property, will be wir
ed and lit up by ttie municipal light
plant. Thns Council hopes to cut out
one impoitant item of the Borough's
expense account.
National Encampment.
The national encampment of the
Bons of Veterans will be held at Get

EXCEPTS TO
VIEWMS' AWARDS
The report of tht> viewers appointed
by Court to assess damages caused to
properties abutting on Mill street by
the change of grade thereou as well as
a bill of costs presented were both
turned down by the Borough Council
of 1904-1905 at its last regular meeting
Friday niglt
The total of damages for the four
properties viewed is $2075'. The total
costs is |lO4. Council took grave ex
ception botli to the award of dam
ages, which it considered exorbitant,
and the compensation claimed by the
viewers, which is virtually pay for
four days at $1.50 per day as allowed
by law,whereas the viewers were act
ually engaged in the work but one
day. The compensation charged was
at the rate of one day's pay for each
of the properties viewed.
On motion of Mr. Boyer it was de
cided that the matter of damages be
referred to the Borough Solicitor witli
instruction? that he file exception to
the award of the viewers as well as to
the amount of costs.
A bond furnished by Joseph Sperring
to provide for digging up the street
was approved by Council.
The bond of the Staudard Electiro
Light Company on motion of Mr.
Lloyd, was referred to the Borough
i Solicitor for approval.
Borough Treasurer Elleubogen pre
sented a statement of finances to date,
which showed a total balance on hand
of 110,856.32.
A petition was received from fifteeu
I citizens and taxpayers of the Fourth
Ward, Borougti of Danville,asking for
additional light on Kailroad street.
The petition set forth that the
light on Kailroad street between the
P. & K depot and the township line
is quite insufficient for the travelling
public ami residents of the street. An
aic light or several incandescent lights
are asked for between the two above
named points The petition was sign

UPPER SIDEWALK
BEING COMPLETED
Our readers will be glad to learn
that there are prospects that one of the
sidewalks of the river bridge may be
completed at a very early data aud
that the public will have permission
to use it HI crossing pendiug tbe com
pletiou of the remainder of the bridge.
A couple of weeks ago a petition to
the above effeot signed by the joint
Boards of County Commissioners was
presented to the Com miss ion era of
Public Grounds and Buildings at Har
risburg
A reply was received at the Com
missioners' office yesterday trom John
E. Stott, Secretary of the Commis
sioners of Pablic Grounds and Build
ings which stated that the petition
had been la'd before the Board aud
that pursuant to action taken he bad
just written to the Engineer request
ing him to do all that he could with
the contractors to induce them to com
plete oue sidewalk for use of the pub
lic. The communication stated that
he expected to hear from Mr. Leonard
in a few days.
From appearances it would seem that
there will be no delay. A big connigu
nient of material for the sidewalk is
already on the ground. Superintend
ent of Construction Collius yesterday
stated that his idea is to rush the up
per sidewalk to completion as fast as
possible. In addition to the iron work
needed for railing, &c , a large quan
tity of lumber for joists Hud flooring
has arrived aud is strewn along the
roadway on the bridge.
Along live spans of the upper side
walk the outer stringers are in posi
tion. Along oue span the rivetiug is
completed aud ready for the joists and
flooring. According to present indi
cations it will ouly be a week or so
until the upper sidewalk is finished
and people cau walk over the bridge
with safety and freedom.

TWO ALARM!)
UF HE
There were two alarms of ure Tues
day forenoon. In each case the blaze
was discovered in its ineipi.ncy and
the damage done was co npiratively
Alight.
The tirst alarm was Hounded hy the
Friendship engine house abour nine
o'clock, the bla/.e occurring in tho
rectory of Christ Episcopal church
The Friendship boys were promptly
on the ground bat there was some
difficulty in locating and getting at
the fire, which was behind the wains
coting directly under the chimney and
was detected by the smoke which forc
ed its way into the kitchen
The wainscoting was ripped off when
an old-fashioued fireplace was discov
ered, which had been hoarded over,the
waiuscoting on the inside being pro
tected with tiu. Soot had dropped
down from the chimney abovo and 111
time formed quite an accumulation
which Tuesday morning ignited from
sparks which fell down fiotu the pipe
of the kitchen ran#*-.
A few backets of water sufficed to
extinguish the fire and the damage
done was slight. -An effort was made
to open the fire plug nearby,but it was
frozen or rusted fast and the attempt
had to be abandonee.
About 11 o'clo k the second fire alarm
was sounded. The blazo on this oc
casion was located in an out kitchen
on the premises of James Dailey, an
ironworker, situated at the rear of the
Grove Presbyterian church, along the
P. & K. Railway track.
The alatm was first sounded by a
locomotive on the P. <V; K track,w hose
prolonged whistle soon attraced at
tention and brought a cro.vd to the
spot. The Good Will Hose Comptny
was the first to arrive and soon had a
stream of water on ttie burning build
ing. The Friendship boys arrived soc,u
attei.bnt hy that time the fire was un
der control.
The building which contained a
cook stove, a table.an oil can and sev
eral articles of clothing,tools, &c .WHS
practically destroyed. It stool with
in ten feet of the main dwelling, a
neatly painted commodious frame
structure, and that the fire did not
communicate to the latter is due to
iln timely warning sounded by the
locomotive and prompt action on the
part of tho firemen The general op
inion seemed to be that the building
was set on fire by sparks from a pass
ing engine.
Neither Mr. Dailey nor his wife were
at home when the tir»- occurred. Mr.
Dailey was out of town, while Mrs.
D«i!ey had left for Mill street on a i
errand a ehort titue before the fire oc
curred.
The loss, which will be consider
able, it is understood, was not cover
ed with iusurance.
Lineman Almost in Flames.
In a valiant end *vor to save, a tele
phone pole, wrapped in fl »rnes at the
Unrontown fire n*ar Shauiokin Friday
eveuing, Harry T M irgan. 'lie chief
ground. He was almost tos-ed into the
flames, and had a narrow escape
The big burning pole bore on itsfcur
arms the long distance wires to Wlll -
lauisport, Harrisburg and Pmliiel
phia. Tfie arms had caught fire from
the burning houses,and the wires were
in danger. Manager Joseph F. Ogden
and Morgan hurried to the rescu°. A
ladder was placed against the role and
Morgan climbed up to wli»re the flames
were rapidly consuming the cross
arms and threatening a break in com
munication. He threw a backet of
water on the flames, and then tossed
the bucket to the manager who hunt
ed away for more water. As he left
the men holding the ladder grew ex
cited, and left go.Morag" fell 25 feet,
and almost landed in the flames.
He struck the ground hard on hinds
and knees and that he sustained no
fractures is a miracle. His kuee was
injured, but he insisted in sticking t i
his post,and took turns with the man
ager in climbing the ladder until the
fire was extinguished.
Mr. Morgan formerly resided in Dan
ville. He was employed as lineman by
the Montour and Columbia Telephone
Company.

Cost of County Courts.
The Danville Morning News points
oat the cost of the county court held
there this week. There were five com
monwealth ca^es,which cost the coon
ty $176.85. an average of about thirty
five dollars each. The grand jurors
cost $136.33 and tho traverse jurors
1160.36. constables returns cost $17.50
aud criers and tipstaves cost fn; tin for
ttie week. These figures read likccouit
expenses in the g3o>l oil d-«vs of our
grandfathers,wheu thro was no graft.
We have not tho figures at our com
mand hut we imagine it eo ts this
county from $3,000 to $">.000 a week to
conduct a criminal couir, and it is
much less now than befoie Judge
Savidge's recent ruling, that lopped
off a big item of costs in dismissed

Constables Are Angry.
The Northumberland County Com
missioners, acting under the advice of
Solicitor Lark, have refuted to pay
the constables for advertising the la i t
election until they can examine the
law fully.
Heretofore, the constables have been
paid two dollars each. The constables
threaten to bring suit unless they are
paid in the ue*r future.
SYHTBiI NEARLY
COMPLETED
The new sewer system at the Hospit
al for the Insane installed by Sweigard
& Company of Philadelphia for the
purpose of deposing of the sewage on
the Hospital grounds is rapidly ap
proaching completion and has already
been tested in part.
Work began last September and since
then hits been pushed along as rapidly
as possible. John Riegling, a lepre
sentative of Sweigard & Company,who
has had charge ot the work from its
beginning, was seen at the Heddens
House yesterday. He gave a full de
scription of the work accomplished as
well as what yet remains to be done.
By far the heaviest part of the proposi
tion was the excavating required for
the pipe and on this branch of the
work a large number »112 men,frequent
ly as many as 75, were employed The
system requires 1500 feet of 15-inch
sewer pipe; 1700 feet of fi-inch iron
pressure pipe and upwards of 1500 feet
of oilier pipe 2 to H inches in diameter.
The work of laying pipe was done dur
ing the winter and Mr. Riesling ex
plained tint the freezing conditions in
stead of prov ing a detriment to excava
tion aided in its accomplishment.
Many of the trenches, ho said, were
seventeen feet deep and the constant
freezing as the trenches sank kept the
sides Ann and solid so that cribbing
w*s not needed.
The system is now so nearly com
pl< ted that it can be used as far as the
distributing reservoir. It has already
been given a trial up to as far as that
joint and after Thursday.which is the
<laie that the trrstees hold a meeting,
it will he thrown into regular service.
Th ! pait of the system not y< t com
pleted is that which relates to the fin
al disposal of the sewage over the land
as fertilizer. The distributing pipes
leading out from the reservoir are al
revly in position in the open trenches.
What yet remains to be dune is to till
op the trenches, which cannot he ac
complished so as to make a satisfactory
job of it until the frost leaves the
ground. At present the trenuhes are
still nearly full of suow.
While it may be several veeks be
fore the last touches are put upon the
trenches the system is practically com
pleted and in good workiuu order. Mr.
Riegling expects to leave for home at
the close of the present week.
The system employed which was ful
ly described in an article in these col
umns last fall, was installed for rhe
purpose of diverting the sewage of the
Hospital from the Susquehanna,wiieie
it was regarded as the source of gript

When the Bell Tolls-
The true heroism of women is often
shown by their self-sacrifice and ab
negation, Man, by his physical su
periority, publicly displays his her.iic
dee is t i greatt r advantage than the
weaker sex. but it is to the latter that
mankind must admit his inferiority.
Nowhere is this phase of feminine
«elf sacrifice so strongly shown as in
the beautiful romantic play "When

HOUSE AND BUGGY
WEfiE STOLEN
Li very man G. C. Moyer thought tliat
0110 of his best horses together with a
baggv and harness had been stolen but
Monday the ou tlit was recovered
in a most unexpected way. The horse
aud buggy were hired ou Saturday
evening by a young man named Fox
from BerwicK for (lie purpose of driv
ing out to f'ie farm of Nosh Stamp.
He did not return Saturday night,
but Sunday morning the liveryman
was called up by 'phone from the Oak
Tree Hotel and informed that the
horse and buggy were missing and that
Mr. Fox was prosecuting a search for
the outfit.
About 10 o'clock Sunday Mr. Fox
himself putin an appearance in Dan
ville and told the following story:
While driving out Mill street Saturday
evening, he said, he was stopped by a
tall young man of pleasing address
who asked which way lie was going.
He replied: "In the direction of Oak
Grove." The stranger then asked per
mission to ride along, explaining that
lie was employed at the Hospital for
rho Insane and that hp was on his way
to Washingtonville. He was given a
seat in the buggy and soon proved an
interesting aud congenial companion.
Arriving at the Oak Tree Hotel in Yal
ley township at the stranger's invita
tion Mr. Fox stopped and had some li
quid refreshments.
After a short stop they continued
their journey. Soon after Mr Fox says
he lost consciousness and all was a
blank uutll he found himself minus
hor?e aud baggy back in the ne ghbor
hood of the Oak Tree Hotel. Early
Sunday morning lie caused a message
to be sent i:i by 'phone telling of tie
loss of the horse and buggy, after
which ho spent several hours in a pain
staking but fruitless search. He was
incline? to the opinion that the strang
er had placed knock out drops in the
beverage he had imbibed at the Oak
Tree Hotel aud had made off with the
horse and buggy.
Inquiries were at once telephoned
all over the neighborhood, but it was
impossible to gain a single clew. Mr.
Mover yesterday became pietty well
t convinced that the outfit had beeu
stolon. Eugene Moyer and James Frame

property. The horse and huggv were

Mrs. Mary Mdler, situated on one of

miles west of the Oak Tree Hotel. The
night, it will bo recalled, was very
cold and the wheels of the boggy were
frozen fast, in fie mud,indicating Shi!

WELCOMbD IN
THECHURCH
The several weeks of revival sirvict
and the steady and aggressive eflort
pat forth bv the pastor, lte\ .John
Sherman, at the First Baptist charch
lias boru very good fruit and at the
morning service Sunday seventeen
young people received the hand of
Christian fellowship
The new members,all of whom were
under thirty aud the majority of whom
were under twenty yeais, weie receiv
ed by baptism during the last t\o
months. The services welcoming them
into the charch Sunday, during
which the Lord's Supper was
ed, was most impressive thoughont
Rev. Sherman pteached an appropriate
soimon, founded on the Bth and 9th
verses of the third chapter of Acts:
"And he leaping up stood and walked
and entered witti them into the temple,
walking and leaping aud praising God
and all the peopla saw him walking
and praising (Jot)."
The Scriptures were very aptly ap
plied in the sermon. A saved person
is in the position of the lams man of
the text iu that he is healed in tlie
name of Jesus. Like the lim t mui he
ought to be joyful aud to u>e his new
strength aud devote his new life to
praising God ; also he ought to show
this to the world.
The members of the First Baptist
church aie much gratified at the show
ing made along all lines. Flattering
as was the accession to member ■.hip
yesterday there aru still more convtrts
waiting for baptism.
Rev. Sherman has been in cha r ge of
the congregation less than a year aud
not only has a growth of the meiuber
ship aud au increase of spiritual lif.«
uiarke I his labors but the congregation
has prospered financially, meeting all
its obligation and paying off some
floating d'-bts.
Facts About Easter.
To tell our r aders how the coming
of Easter is regulated would be at
tempting to impirt su[erfloous in
formation, as most if not all of them
may be suppose 1 to know that it is
governed by a certain *tHge of the
moon occurring after the 2lst of March.
There is no fixed date of the crucifix
ion, bat it is known to have been per
petrated at the time of the full moon
succeeding the ve ual eoainox, and s».
the Kriday after the full moon that
immediately follows the 21 t of March
has b<* 'ii accepte 1 as the crucial au
nt vt rs iry, with E ister two da> s after
As the movement of the moon with ref
erence to dates, is irregular, the date
of Eas'ei must necessa.ily b t irregul ir
an I therefore atnong church [ eopie it

our re ide s that East r,this year.cotu-
on th» 23rd of April, will Mine
