PASTOR RESIGNS
HIS CHARGE
At the morning service, Sunday, in
Shiloh Reformed church, Rev. George
E. 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.

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.

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."

Only a Brush Fire.
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.

800 DORSE
POWER ENGINE
Church street was the ceuter of in
terest for several hours Monday to a
large crowd of men who wore anxious
to see what success F. 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.

Quarters In South Danville.
Charles Battaglia, the Italian labor
agent, was a busy man at South Dan
ville yesterday, wheie he was prepai
ing quarters for his small army of lab
orers, which he expects to have em
ployed on the bridge and the trolley
line, work on which will soon be un
der way.
Mr. Battaglia yesterday stated that
he expects to have eighty men at work
on the bridge yet during the present
week. These will all be employed by
Messrs. Caldwell, Barry <?ic Leonard—
forty on the concrete work and forty
on laying the track of the Danville
and Sunbury Electric Railway Com
pany.
He is now engaged in providing
sh Iter for this advance gang, which
may arrive today or tomorrow. The
Italian quarter will be at the eastern
end of South Danville In the hollow
above the old vault once connected
with the Germania Brewery. The spot
selected will be about midway between
the river and the Mt. Vernon cemet
ery, where an old building stands,
which will be occapied by the Italians.
The house, however, is not large
enough and the provide sufficient room
Mr. Battaglia will build an addition
to the structure using the material
contained iu the small wheelwright
shop just below the river bridge which
lie has purchased for use in sheltering
his men. The Italians yesterday be
gan the work of tearing down and re
moving the wheelwright shop.

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.
