Limbert, aunounced to the con gregaton that it was his intention in the near future,to resign as their past or, for the purpose of accepting a unanimous call to become pastor of Trinity Reformed ohurch of Altoona. This decision was received with deep regret by the members,mauy of whom being so overcome by their emotions as to be moved to tears. Rev. Mr. Limbert is greatly beloved by his congregation who are very re luctant to part with him. As lie stat ed, in his remarks, it is equally pain ful for him to separate, as his rela tions with the congregation have been very cordial and pleasant. No friction whatever exists; the work in all de partments of the church has been pros pering, and he likes Danville; but the call to labor elsewhere had come to him unsolicited aud unsought and in such a manner that he felt it was the call of the Master, and his duty was to consider the same favorably. Rev. Mr. Limbert is an earnest,con secrated, harJ-workiug pastor, and, as a result of his pastorate all depart ments of church work in Shiloh Re formed church are prospering. The membership of the congregation and Sunday school are larger than at any time in its history, and the finauces are in excellent shape. The congrega tional expenses are promptly met each month, and the amount contributed to the church at large has grown steadi ly with each succeeding year. It was, indeed, a sad and sorrowfol people that departed from the church at the close of the service. Joint Meeting- Tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock there will be an important meeting in the Y. M. C. A. Buildiug iu the form of a conference participated in by lead ing citizens to di?cuss ways and means for the successful continuance of our Yoong Men's Christian Association. The directors of the Association have written the citizens of Dauville in cluding pastors of the various church es, business men, professional men, clerks, meohauics and others inviting them to the conference. The principal speaker on the occas ion will be John G. Reading, Esq., of Williamsport. The address will be followed by a general discussion led by Rev. G. E. Limbert,James Scarlet, Esq., aud Hon. R. S. Ammerman. Other men who hava the welfare of the institution at heart will partici pate in the discussion. The directors feel that the Yoong Men's Christian Association is an in stitution that should bo regarded as an important factor in the community aud for this reason they are seeking the advice and earnest co-operation of all well meaning people. No subscrip tions will be asked for at this confer ence; no one will be importuned for money; the time will be occupied by addresses and interchange of thought among those attendiug aud the occas ion will be wholly as implied a "con ference. " The directors through this meeting hope to impress all publio spirited citizeos with the fact that the per manency and efficiency of the Y. M, C. A. should become a matter of inter est to all and when the work is prop erly understood it will receive the hearty aud willing support of those in whose interest the building was erect ed. It will be shown from records that the association is doing a much need ed work aud that it is practically the principal elevating influence that reaches a largo aud important element of the community—the young men. The advice of meu of affairs, who are aocustomed to deal with business matters in a business like way is earn estly desired and it expected that there will be a large attendance of men who will give the directors of the Associa tion the benefit of a hearing and aid them with their counsel and friendly 00-operation at this time.

THICK ONJEW MIDGE 1 The Danville and Sunbury Street | Railway Company has been granted ttie right of way over the river budge, and it has been decided to lay the tract on the new structure coincident with the putting down ot the flooring, which woik will in all probability be gin during the present week. The grant aud permission to con struct and operate its electric railroad oa the Danville and Sooth Danville river bridge as well as all the condi tions, stipulations and restrictions in volved therein have been formally ac cepted by the Dauville and Sunbury Electric Railway Company and the papers are now ou record at the Court House. It was learned from representatives of the company yesterday that rails aud all other material needed have been ordered and are expected to ar rive at Dauville not later than Wed nesday,so as to be on hand when work ou the substructure of the floor be gins. ID lieu of the ordinary wooden cross ties, steel ties along with steel plates will be used on the bridge; as against the sixty-pouud steel rails us ed on the street eighty pound rails will be used on the bridge, the whole being adopted as a measure to insure greater durability so that in the natural course of events the floor will not have to be torn up for many, many years to come. The steel ties and platen will be wholly buried under the cement forming the substructure, the top of the rails being laid flush with the pavement. There will he but one track which will be laid along one side of the bridge. Messrs. Caldwell, Barry & Leouard.who will put down the floor ing, in the bridge have also the con tract for laying the track of the Dan ville and Sunbury Street Railway Company. The Chief Engineer and the head contractor of the Danville and Sun bury Street Railway are expected to be in Danville today. The contract is closed for all the rails needed between the Hospital for the Insane and Sun bury. The Company is at preseut re ceiving bids for ties and poles aud is now getting things in shape for be ginning work on the construction of the line. The firit section of the road attacked will be that between the Hospital aud the bridge, where work will begin in a very short time. ' The equipment for the road will em brace all that is new aud modern in cars. There will be eight of these, large double truck cars, a fair propor tion of which will be open or observa tion cars. Some of the closed cars will be double in form with provision for baggage, while others will coutain com partments for smokers, a lar«e glass surface tormiug the partition. The power house will contaiu two engines of 480 horse power each ; two generators of 3t»o K. W. each, with four boilers of 250 horse power each. The equipment throughout, pomp, heater and all other appliances will be first class and thoroughly modern. Every effort will be made to have the section of the line embracing Dan ville, South Danville and Riverside in active operation by or near the Foarth of July. Pending the comple tion of the power house, powe« for op erating this end of the line may be ob tained fiom the Standard Electric Light Company, whose plant is con veniently situated in Danville right ou the line of the Street Railway.

A Lenten Attraction. | The ooming engagement at the Dan ville Theatre is of more than ordinary interest to theatre goers, inasmuch as tins, being the Lenten sea-on, it is difficult to attract to places of amuse ment those who hold strictly to the re quisites of their various creeds. "A KOVHI Slave" is a beautiful Christian story of Old Mexico, a series of pic tures of life in that country of rom ance. Ministers and priests have been unanimous this season in exhorting their congregation togo and see the production of "A Royal Slave," be cause it savors more of the atmosphere of the Chapel than the Theatie. It has not been an uncommon sight during this Lenten season to see the stage boxes entirely tilled with clergymen of all denominations witnessing a per formance of this morally uplifting drama. The Board of Health of this city is no doubt on the alert for eases of spinal meningitis, now so prevalent throughout the country. inVislEffi AT MITTS PAR! Now that the Danville and Sunbury Electric Railway seems an assured fact our neighbors on the South side are casting about to see what business opportunities may arise and what they can do to show their tnterprise and keep pace with the great march of prog ress. The first to respond to the new con ditions is the popular Riverside park, which will undoubtedly receive an im petus from the completion of the line that will send it booming along on a career of remarkable prosperity. Dr. DeWitt has decided upon a system of improvements for the park, which when installed will give the place a reputation and a prominence that will make it one of ilin mosi popular re sorts in all this section. First of all the pavilion will be en larged until it will be second to noth ing of the kind hereabout. It is al ready (>0 feet by 50 feet, but 50 feet additional will be added to its length, giving the dancers a run of 110 feet. The entire base ball ground will be fenced iu, which with its many other fine features will make the grounds the most desirable for baseball iu this seotion. A number of cottages will be erect ed, the lumber for three having been already ordered. They will be two story affairs, 12x18 feet, built on the east end of the grounds south of the present entrance, where the morning sun will quickly dispel the dew aud the effects of showers and where iu the afternoon the shade cast by the tall grove will be cool aud dense. The east side entrance will be clos ed and a new entrance will be opened on the north side at Avenue E., the beautiful thoroughfare extending near ly north and south through the Bor ough of Riverside. Along Avenue E from the Publio School Buildiug in Riverside, ttie track of the Danville and Sunbury Electric Railway will be laid. The trolley tracks entering the park by Avenue E will be laid along outside of the fine driveway encir cling the grove from the northern en trance as far around as the Southwest corner, whence on ground donated by Dr. DeWitt it will follow the east side of the lane leading toward Torrence's. Just inside of the new north en trance will be a very handsome and up-to-date merry-go-round, permanent ly installed in a commodious building. Moving pictures and other attractions will be iustalled as the season ad vances. Near the entrance also will be erect ed a two-story cottage, fourteen bv twenty-four feet, which will be oc cupied by H. L. DeWitt and family Mild where refreshments will be sold. Dr. DeWitt has discovered that one of the springs ou the ground has min eral properties,highly esteemed among physicians. This spring Dr. DeWitt expects to develop and he has confi dence that in a short time it will bo known as one of the most popular featuies of his resort. DeWitt's Park has already been se cured for the Fourth of July by the Coutineutal Fire Company of Dan ville. SAVE YOUR HEALTH. It is Worth Savin? and Some Danville People Know How to Save It. There are some people who take their lives in their lianas by continu ing to neghct their kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for an irn meuse amount of suffering and ill - health, but th-re is no need to suffer or to remain in danger when all dis eases aud sufferings arising from weak kidneys can be quickly and perma nently cored by the use of Doau's Kid ney Pills. Here is the statement of a Danville citizen who has reclaimed good health by the use of this remedy: John James, puddler.of U Sycamore St., says: "Doau's Kidney Pills were of immense benefit to me in a case of backache aud kidney complaint some years ago. I had suffered for mouths with pain aud lameness iu my back and used all kinds of remedies but re ceived no permanent benefit. I was becoming discouraged but when Doau's Kidney Pills were recommended to me by Levi Alleger, I concluded to try them. I got a box and osed them as directed. The result was far beyond my expectations. They cnred me and I have had no return of the trouble." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N.

About half past six o'clock last even ing a wide sheet of flame visible from nearly all over the borough shot up at the eastern end of town. A cry went up that the stove works were on fire aid in an incredibly B short time East Market street, the D. L. & W. track, Walnut strbet aud every aveuue lead ing eastward was b!ack with people. Meanwhile the fire bells had rung and one or more of the hose companies were also on their way. It seemed only a few moments after the first alarm that several hunrir d people converged upou the D. L & W. track this side of the stove work- And then there was no fire. The lurid glare had faded from the sky; the stove works, unharmed, leared their sombre walls aloft and there was no suggestion of flame and smoke any where The big crowd began to think thai they had been deluded by some mag ician's trick and a-ked each other what it m-ant. Happily at that mo ment a man came down over ttie hill 112 om the John R. Bennett farm and lie was able to make the whole thiuii clear. On one of the elevate I fields which lav at a level with the stove works roof a lot of brush and weeds were set on fire in order to cleat the ground for Spring work. The fire was directly in line with the stove works and easily aave rise to the delusion that the group of buildings were on fire. The highly combustible brush and weeds were consume 1 in a few minutes, which cut a big sensation short.

Q Hartmau would have in hauling his large eight hundred horse power engine from the D. L. & VV. siding to the silk mill. Profiting hy Saturday's experience Mr. Hartmau Monday dismissed the horses and to take their places had two traction engines on the grouud. During an interview some int resting facts were learned. Mr. Hartmau stat ed that ton horses were hitched to the truck Saturday, but their iuability to move the load was due not so much to the weight as to the fact that the ten horses unused to working in the tamo team could not be induced to pull to gether. Another trouble lay in the fact that when ever a spot was reach ed where the street had been lately dug up Jn connection with the laying or re pair of gas or water pipe, the wheels of the heavily loaded truck took a sud den drop in up to the huh. Although better results were expect | ed from the tractiou engines thau from the leu horses they were not proof against the truck becoming mired. As a precaution against the latter con tingency Mr. Hartmau procured a lot of angle iron in the form of scrap which he laid on the ground in an inverted position where they answered admir ably ai rails to carry the truck. The bars each some twelve feet long were eight in number and after starting up the engine it was possible to keep the truck moving nearly steadily by pick | ing up the rails at the rear of the odd ly improvised train and carrying them forward where they repeatedly did service in bearing the truck. One engine—owued by Alfred JSlecher— proved sufficient for all the motive power needed while the other —owned by Mr. Stetler—was held in reserve. There was a good deal of conjecture as to what the weight of the monster ' 800 horse power engine might be. The most knowing ones, however, proved to be poor guessers. Few went as high as twelve tons, while the actual weight ! according to Mr. Hartmau was sixteen tons This was the bare cylinder and ! the smaller part, that went with it, however. The weight of the eDgine in its entirety when installed is 112 tons. The monster shaft alone, which ; has not yet been removed from the cars, weighs '24 tons. The engine, which is of the cross compound condensing pattern, is a wonder and will be installed in the silk mill to take the place of the 400 horse power engine, in use for some ! years past. The installation of this iarger engine, which has become a neoessitv, attests very eloquently both to the steady growth of his business and the corresponding increase of cap acity which Mr Hartmau has been obliged to bring about at his plant.

IUD DOG SCARE ON SATURDAY The monotony of life iu the lower end of tlie Borough was relieved Sat urday morning by a genuine mad dog scare. None of the essentials were lacking. The rabid dog was unmistak ably in evidence, there was a scamp ering of people; there were pistol shots and a dead dog to end with. Between 9 and 10 o'clock as John Weir was walking op West Mahoning street, just east of Chestnut street, he saw approaching from the opposite di rection a dog which had a suspicious appearance. He was a short haired black dog with large head.heavy neck and other characteristics which sug gested the bull dog breed. He bore u dejected and bedraggled appearance and trotted along in an indifferent way not at all common with dogs in good health. In passing, Mr. Weir was care ful to give the dog all the room ou the pavement that he wanted. The twc had hardly got abrea-it,however, when the dog without any warning sprang at Mr. Weir and with a quick snap seized him by the coat. Mr. Weir had in iiis pocket a revolv er, which he was taking up to the store on Mill street. Springing aside lie avoided a second attack from the dog aud drawiug the pistol was in the act of killing the (log when it occur red to him that the street there was a bad place to shoot and he decided to follow the dog and take further note of his action. At Thomas Curry's residence the suspicious canine attacked the house dog, lying on the portico, a noble col lie, but fortunately his teeth did lit tie more than clutch the long hair ot the Collie. At the residence of Will iam Linker, futther down the street he attacked another dog, biting bin slightly. At this place it was observ ed that he was frothing at the mouth. Mr. Weir, still iu pursuit, wauted tc finish him on the spot but Mrs. Linkei begged that no shooting be done ueai that place aud thus the dog was per mitted to pass on. He soon gained the alley at the rear, whence he entered the premises of Michael Driscoll, where he bit another dog. At this juncture Mr. Weir determin ed to cut the brute's career short anc he fired a shot at him. The bullet, however, only grazed the dog and he escaped to the street and mad - direct ly toward the prewi-es ol Willian Turner. In the alley ti. side the house a little child belonging to the family was J laying. The dog was making it a direct line for the little one. He wai only eight or ten feet away v hen Mr Weir realizing that a moment's delaj might be fatal rushed right up to thi dog aud quickly sent two bullets ii .succession into hiscaicnsss. The brute rolled over and while not quite de-ai seemed beyond all dsngi r of doiuf harm. The man took hold of the dog auc was in the act of dragging him dowt tne alley when, as the last thin> thought of,the brute seemed to revive and springing around endeavored tc bite the man. Mr. Weir had still 112 couple of bullets in his revolver anc these he unceremoniously sent into the dog, which inflicted his quietus. There seems little doubt but thai the dog was afllicted with rabies. Where he came from is not known. Probably some one who reads this wil recognize the dog as oue missing from his own premises, or one of which he has some knowledge. The prcbabilitj is that the cauiue came from some distance, probably from out of town This is the worst feiture of the ease, as there is no way of telling how inanv other dogs may have been bitten dur ing the mad dog's tramp, which may latter develop hydrophobia. The dogs known to have been bitten,which as is proper, are all pinned up and will be carefully watched until the time limit is passed within which hydrophobia is likely to develop.
