CABLE DROPS
IN fRE RIVER
The river cable belonging to the
United Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, met with au accident yesterday
by which it was torn from its support
and rent into several different pieces,
destroying direct communication with
Sunbury and Shamokinand cutting off
all the patrons of the system living in
South Danville and Riverside.
The long cable was stretched across
the river uearly a year ago. Support
ed at each shore on long poles planted
high on the river bauk the oa~ble wtien
new was very high above the water.
To install it was quite a feat. It will
be recalled that in stretching the cable
it was neoessary to send a man across
the river with no other support thau
the thin messenger wire. He attracted
au immease crowd as he seemed to
hang in mid air some fifty feet above
the water.
High as the cable was at first before
mauy weeks it began to sag and con
tinued to drop lower and lower until
Monday when it was only a few feet
above the water. As the river rose the
cable touched the current and yester
day morning for a long distance it was
completely under water.
In this position it was in great dan
ger. A mass of ice or heavy piece of
driftwood striking it would have brok
en it or wrested it from it* fastening
and carried it down stream. To pre
vent such a contingency a crew of line
men were called out and ao attempt
was made to tighten the cable. Heavy
rope and tackle were attached at the
Danville end and while the crew an
fcUr.i. to tfir? roftr>
something gave way on the opposite
shore and the cable fell slack iuto the
river.
AD investigation showed that the
second pole on the South side about
one hundred feet back from the one
bearing the main support gave way
owing to the soft natareof the ground
and was pulled by the weight of the
assemblage of wires down to the river
bank where, held by the wires that
were still attached, it hong suspended
from the top of the high pole that car
ried the cable.
The tug of war lay in the effort to
raise the cable from the river. In ac
complishing this the river bridge stood
in good stead. The sidewalk as far as
finished afforded an excellent place for
the linemen. Ropes were attached to
the cable and by means of rope and
tackle if was drawn up onto the bridge.
The work required the greater part of
the afternoon. Nearly all the wire
was saved, although it was broken or
cut into many different section''.
It is doubtful whether any attempt
witl be made to re-establish the cable
in its old position on the poles. Ow
ing to the near completion of the
bridge application will doubtless be
made for permission to string the wires
on that structure as was done when
the old bridge stood.
Among the wires that were destroy
ed were all those leading to Riverside,
the direct line to Sunbury and the di
rect line to Shamokio. While it is im
possible to communicate with anyone
in South Danville or Riverside it is
still possible to talk to Sunbury and
Shamokin by using the wire that ex
tends around by Milton.
Late Developments
Favor Nan Patterson
NEW YORK. March 22.—Counsel
for Nan Patterson stated today that
they have new evidence which will
free the aot/ess when she is again
brought to trial for the mardur of
Caesar Young, the bookmaker.
Miss Patterson was Informed by
Daniel O'Reilly,one of her COUIIM-1 yes
terday, that the defense had obtained
possession of evidence showing that
Caeser Young had a revolver the day
before the shooting which he had tak
en away from his wife. O'Reilv says
when Young's trunk was returned to
thia oouutry from Europe several 32-
callbre revolver cartridges were found
in it by Customs Inspector Arthur
Scanlon. The district attorney's office
denied that Mrs. Young ever owned
a revolver.
The actress will be brought to trial
early in April.
The Host Satisfying Show.
A minstrel show, with its beautiful
first part setting, ballad singers, com
edians, coon comedians,coon shooters,
dancers and olio of specialty artists,
comes nearer satisfying theatre-goers
of the present day than any other ef
fort on the part of theatrical caterers.
There is a happy abandon about the
whole affair that makes oue forget his
troubles and become without reluct
ance a part and paroel of the scenes.
Ous Snn and his burnt cork organiza
tion, will will appear in thia city on
Thursday evening, March 80th, at the
Opera House promises an unusual
musical festival and minstrel jubilee.
O. H. Kester, of Bloomsburg, was a
visitor in thia city yesterday.
MTBAMS
TIE GROUNDS
Four car loads of material have ar
rived at Sou tit Danville for the floor
ing iu the river bridge and work on
that branch of the operation will no
doubt begiu iu a few days.
The United States Wood Preserving
Company has the contract for patting
down the Mooring or pavement, which
; is something entirely new in these
parts. The flooring will consist of »
substructure of coucrete and another
course of paving blocks. Caldwell,
Barry & Leonard, who built tlie piers
and abutments of the bridge, have the
contract for putting down the con
crete; John Ed. Foley of New York,
| will lay the paving blocks. Both M«\
i Foley and representatives of the firm
of Caldwell, Barry & Leonard, were
iu this city yesterday.
During an interview Mr. Foley stat
ed that the contractors were ready to
| begin work on the flooring. Four car
loads of material, he said, had arriv
ed and were at South Danville. Un
fortunately, however, the bridge was
not in such shape as to enable them to
! proceed at once. The bridge contract
ors have not vet completed the iron
work, but he seemed to regard the un
finished condition of the Southern ap
proach to the bridge as a worse ob
stacle. In Mr. Foley's opinion it
would require but three or four days
more to finish riveting down the floor
plate?, while in view of the blocked
conditim and filling up required at
| | the Southern abutment he would ven-
| ture no opinion as to when things
would be in such shape as to enable
teams to pass iu order that floor ma
-1 terial could be delivered on the bridge.
Mr. Foley returned to New York yes
terday afternoon.
The County Commissioners state that
they will see to it as far as they are
able that work is pushed along on the
Southern abutment as rapidly as possi
ble. Contractor Ellis Rank is ready
to begin work filling up the abutment,
but owing to the accumulation of
bridge material lyiug all aboat the ap
proach it is impossibla for him to get
into the bridge with his teams. As
soon as it suits the convenience of the
bridge people to open a way lie will
begin work on filliug up the abutment.
Ashes have been ordered aud these
will b-i delivered by the Pennsylvania
Railroad at South Danville at any
day. The Commissioners think that
the abutment will be filled up so that
teams can pass by the time that the
bridge is ready for the flooring. If
not,they claim.it will be an easy mat
ter to construct a gangway at the abut
ment for temporary use.
Double Wedding Anniverary.
Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Voris, of this
city, yesterday rounded out fifty years
of married life. They celebrated the
event at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
William P. Voris at Northumberland,
who wore married on the same date.
The day was full of enjoyment to those
participating and revived in memory
many incidents,many pleasant pictures
of life that belonged to that epoch a
half a century ago when those now old
thounh with hearts none the less fond
and loving, were just entering togeth
er upm the threshold of married life.
It proved to be the merest coincid
ence that Elijah C. Voris of Danville
and his brother William of Northum
berland were united iu matrimony on
the same day. There was nothing pre
arranged about it and although the
two couples took their weddiug trip
together the two brides had never met
until stepping upon the train after the
ceremouy.
Mis E. C. Voris before marriage
was Miss Julia Troxell, daughter of
Benjamin Troxell of Cliillisquaque
township, Northumberland county.
The wedding took place at the home
of the bride ou March 22, 1855, Rev.
Samuel Barns, later Presiding Elder
of this district officiating.
William Voris was married in Dan
ville, his wife before marriage being
Miss Letitia Zuber.of this city,daugh
ter of Captaiu Zuber,deceased for some
years. Mr. aud Mrs. Voris have spent
their entire married life iu Northum
berland, where Mr. Voris conducts the
blacksmithing business.
There was nothing whatever elabor
ate about the celebration yesterday.
Charles E. Voris as the only suiviviug
child accompanied his parents to
Northumberland. Mr. aud Mrs. Will
iam Gray of Williamsport,Mrs. James
Minier, of Birmingham, Ala., and
John B. Voris who resides witti his
parents at Northumberland were also
present at the reunion. Mrs. Maria
Kliug of Lewishorg. who was brides
maid to Mrs. William Voris fifty years
ago, was one of the honored guests.
Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Voris went to
housekeeping on Centre street, this
city, where they lived for 9 years, re
moving later to the present homestead
on Ferry street, where they have resid
ed for 41 years.
William Voris is the yoonger broth
er, baing 75 years of age. Our towns
man, E. C. Voris. will be 80 on his
next birthday. He has lived in Dan
ville 63 years. For 37 years he was
employed at the Montour Iron Works,
now owned and operated by the Read
ing Iron Company. For 14 years of
this time he was Superintendent of
tiie Foundry and Machine shop. The
two brothers who have rounded out
fifty years of married life are the only
survivors of a family of fourteen. Both
couples are in fairly good health and
although not robust bid fair to survive
for a good many years. They received
many well wishes yesterday, the con
gratulations coming with as much zeal
and fervency as those inspired by the
happy wedding half a century ago.
Painfully Injured.
Walter Metier, an employe at Curry
<S Company's machine shops was pain
fully injured yesterday.
Mr. Metier was handling a heavy
casting on one of the cranes, when the
retaining chains slipped, causing the
iron to fall on his left foot. Had the
full force of the casting,which weigh
ed about 350 pounds, struck him the
injuries would no doubt have been
more serious. The piece, however,
struck glancingly,tearing the flesh but
not breaking any bones.
IRBOR DAY ■
IR !M SCHOOLS
Apropos of tl*.n proclamation of Gov
ernor designating April
14th and 28 t h as Spring Arbor davs an
ex-school director of town yesterday
remarked upon the apparent lack of
al| y Practical observance of the day 111
Daoville. Ht< recalls the time, fifteen
t»\ twenty years ago, when arbor day
meant a good deal of work not only
for teacher and pupils, but also for the
school directors. While the two form
er were arranging programs and re
hearsiug for the event it devolved up
on the school board to procure the
trees, and to have a place prepared for
planting them, which involved not
only the digging of the holes but also
the carting of fertile soil to the spot
in which to embed the tender roots.
Arbor day itself was to all intents and
purposes a holiday in school All the
grades participated iu the exercises.
There was always an address bearing
ou Forestry and the deplorable results
following the destruction of forests,
while not the least interesting feature
of ttie program was the actual plant
ing of the trees, the work of which to
the smallest detail was done by the
pupils under the supervision of the
principal or one of the directors. A
program of recitation and singing, ap
propriate to the matter in hand was
rendered by the boys and gills begin
ning in the school room and ending on
the grounds outside where the glad
some acclaim of children's voices or
more likely an appropriate song kept
time to the shovelfuls of earth as they
rained dowu upon the roots of the
trees being planted. Similar scenes at
the same hour were being enacted at
each of the four school buildings in
the borough. Very mauy of our meu
aud women approaching middle life
today, then pupils at the public schools,
will recall the old-time Arbor Days.
Iu the aggregate scores of trees were
planted on the sohool properties alone
and it is a reflection either upon the
care accorded the growing shade trees
or the lack of adaptability ou the part
of the soil, more probably the latter,
that scarcely one of the tress plauted
on Arbor Days of the past are stand
ing at the present time.
| The latter fact is held responsible
for the change in the manner of the
day's observance in Dinville. It is a
fact, it is said, that each of the school
buildings occapy sites where an im
mense amount of filling up was requir
ed at one time or another, cinder or
gravel being employed in large quanti
ties. Planting of trees 011 Arbor Day,
whatever might be said of its value as
an object lesson, or as a souroe of in
spiration to the pupils so far as secur
ing auy immediate or practical results
iu forestry is concerned, became a sheer
waste of time. Actu»l tree planting,
therefore, his been eliminated from
Arbor Day observance in Danville.
Upon inquiry, however, it is learned
that traditions are kept up by the ren
dering of programmes appropriate to
the event in nearly all of the rooms,
which keeps the pupils iu touch with
Arbor Day.and impart* infraction on
the value of tree planting and the im
portance of preserving our forests

Among the numerous attractions
which annually tour the country, not
one enjoys the degree of popularity
with the public which, for several
years, has been accorded the Blonde!!
and Feunessy's favorite farce-comedy,
"The Katzenjammer kids" whijh is
announced as the attraction at the
Oji-ra House this evening. There are
excellent reasons for this condition of

then, and the mere mention of " Hie
Katzenjammer Kids" brings a smile to
the face. Second, "The Katzenjam

the ladies and children in every city
visited, and where the ladies and chil
dren go, everybody goes. Third, the
performance gives universal satisfation
There are no crying scenes in"The
Katzenjammer Kids" show, out it is
all fun aud merriment and it pleases
the people both old and young.

FERRY SERVICE
SOON TO RESDIE
Now that the ice from the headwat
ers of tl.e North Branch has made a
start on its journey to the Chesapeake
and since the greater part ot it lias
passed Danville on its journey South
as soon as the river falls a few feet
there will be nothing to prevent a re
sumption of ferry service.
There are a large number of people
on each side of the river who are very
anxious to see the ferry in commis
sion It is true foot people are per
mitted to cross the bridge, but this
only Oils the bill in part. Taking
the traveling public into account,
it matters hut little to a man that
he is permitted to walk over the
bridge if there'is no way of setting
liis luggage over tfie river. Neither
aoes the unfinished bridge avail much
to the large number of farmers on the
opposite side of the river whose pro
ducts help to replenish our stores and
whose trade contributes a big item to
our town's prosperity. So long as these
farmers are unable to bring their load
ed wagons across the river the mere
privilege of walking across the bridge
does not count for much.
Not only would the ferry if put into
commission accommodate the classes
above enumerated but its service would
be highly appreciated by our own
townspeople, such as physicians who
would be enabled to respond promptly
to calls in Rush and Gearhart town
ships and merchants, manufacturers
and others who would be enabled to
receive goods and exiiressage from
South Danville.
In view of the above facts the public
does not autioipate much delay in
launching the ferry. It was the gen
eral opinion yesterday that the Coun
ty Commissioners are missing a fine
opportunity by not launching the flat
boat during the freshet, while the
water is at its height. With a very
slight effort at present the big flit
could be slid into the water, whereas
if the river is permitted to fall near
low water mark the boat can only be
launched at the expense of much labor
and attendant cost In all proba
bility the boat will need calking and
other repairs so that at best there will
be delay. Not a day therefore, should
be lost. The County Commissioners
no doubt will take the proper view of
things and launch the ferry at once

John Temauus, puddler.of 301 Main

Pills au excellent remedy for back
ache. I used them and they cured me
of backache from which I had suffered
for years. My trouble was an inde
scribable dull aching pain tight across
the loins, sometimes my back was so
weak that I could hardtydo anything,
and on this account I have had to lav
off work several times. I was unable
to bend or stoop without severe pain
nL.d I was often obliged to catch hold
of something to keep me from falling.
I used liniments and hot applicatinos
bot until I tried Doan's Kidney Pills
I never had auything to do me any
good. Doao's Kidney Pills were just
the remedy I needed. I had takeu them
only about three days when my back

The Pennsylvania Children's Home
Society has nothing to <lo with the
various orphanages or children's homei
in the State, which while they accom
plish a mission have very little about
them in common with the domestic
life of a true home. The object of the
Society in question is to find places
for orphans or for children whose par
ents are unfit or unable to beep them
in the homes of good Christian people.
The missionary of this district is
Rev. James Furrey, of Scranton, to
whom the Advisory Committee ap
pointed yesterday stands in close rela
tionship and which will co-operate
with him in finding homes for chil
dren.
Should a child iu Danville or vicin
ity need a hotue it will devolve upon
the Advisory Committee to present the
matter to the District Missionary, who
working through Advisory Committees
elsewhere will find a suitable place
for the dependent one. On the other
hand should a family here desire to
take an orphan or other child into
their home the Advisory Committee
will be expected to furnish reliable
and necessary information as to the
standing of the family,whether or not
it is of good Christian character and
such as could he expected to raise a
child up in the way it should go.

Sure He Drew a Prize.
J. G. Hornet, the distillery r
who advertised for a wife, and who.
through the advertisement, obtained a
wife in the person of a Philadelphia
girl, says he thinks he has discovered
a prize.
Mr. Hornet's place of work is at the
MeticJiry distillery, near Benton, bnt
he is now temporarily staying at Forest
Hill, near Lewisburg. A dispatch from
Lewisburg, printed in a Philadelphia
newspaper yesterday morniug says:
Jewet G. Homet, the "Barkis" of
Uniou County,is evidently well pleas
ed with the result of his matrimonial
advertisement Although he failed to
marry Mis-< Gertrude McCoy, of Bucks
County,ho still received offers of mar
riage. From the first lot of letters re
ceived, Hornet read one, the contents
of which so appoaled to him that he
decided that the girl should be made
Mrs. Homt't. The choice of the 58-
year-old widower was Miss Mary
Elizabeth Brook«, of Philadelphia.
Negotiations wore at once opened,
and on Tuesday, Hornet mot his future
wife at Mittlinburg. The ceremony
was performed the next. day by Rev.
V T. Kue,of Mittlinborg, at the board
ing house of the Hornets at Forest Hill.
When questioned yesterday Hornet said
that his three days of married life
have proven that his bride possesses
the qualifications enumerated in his
advertisement. He said: "My wife is
21 years old. She has bpen for several
years a stenographer and typewriter in
the employ of a large manufacturing
plant iu the city of Pnil ulelphia. She
is an intelligent girl,of acheerful dis
position, and it is remarkable how she
has adapted herself to her new home.
"Considering that she is a book
keeper, I feel t'iat sin will be a great
help to me in my clerical work at Mo-
Henry's distillery, at. Benton, Pa.,
where iu a wees or so, we will goto
live."
Mrs. Hornet said: "I find Jewet an
affectionate husband and a charming
companion. Although he is 3? years
my senior, I canuot help but love him.
Mrs. Hornet refused to give her ad
dress in Philadelphia. In considera
tion of the fondness of Mr Hornet for
Quaker City bread, and the refusal of
Ins wife to name her former employes,
it is thought by some that he may
have married a professional baker in
order to enjoy continually his favorite
repast.

time in Sunbury, making this city his
headquarters for working the sur

For the past wck.a detective in the

in Sunbury, investigating the case,
and, it is said, has secured evidence
corroborating the story, and, unless
the loss is made good, will cause the
arrest of several parties which will
bring about some sensational develop

The affair has been kept very quiet,
as it was hoped a settlement could be
leached, but, as the parties show no
inclination to produce, it has leaked
out. and results are eagerly awaited

V,EWERS HELD
TWO SESSIONS
Pursuant :o the notices posted at
South Danville last week a view was
held at the Southern approach to the
rivet bridge on Saturday in response
to a petition from the citizens of
Gearhart township, asking that the
county bear the expense of building
the road and thn appioacli to the river
bridge on the South side. The board
of viewers consisted of George F.
Keefer (surveyor), H. F. Maun and
P. C. Oberdorf, residents of Sunbury.
Two sessions were held by the view
ers. One in the forencon at 10:30
o'clock when the approach of the
bridge was carefully examined and aa
estimate made both as to the number
of peich of >toue in the retaining walls
and the cubic fei t of earth required to
bring the road up to the new grade.
Toward noon the Board of Viewers
retir d to th • parlor of the Susque
hanna Hotel wl t-re testimony was tak
en from a number of citizens. lu the
afternoon additional testimony was
heard. Among those testifying during
the day were: P G. Baylor and Mack
Richarts, Supervisors; Joseph Camp
bell, ex-Supervisor; J. H. Kase, W.
R. Clark, th-! 11. ov. r Brothers, Rufas
Vastine and C. S. Smith. The inter
ests of the township were looked after
by Attorney Charles Chalfant.
The testimony presented very con
clusively showed that the construction
of the now roadway aud approach to
the bridge will involve a big outlay
of pub ic money und constitute a heavi
er burden than Gearhart township
with it-* limited resources and present
I big tax rate should be called upon to
bear. The county, it was held, should
a-sume the tost of the entire improve
ment.
lliere is no way of determining how
the Board of Viewers were impressed
as the insult of the hearing. The tax
payers, however, taking ether cases as
precedents, incline to the view that
the county will not turn a deaf ear to
their appeal but will decide to bear
the expense of the woik.
