The coal digger last fall was brooji it up to Dauville to assist iu building the substructure of the river bridge. It became a familiar object, to onr citiz ens as it steamed backwards and for wards plying its busy vocation. When winter came on it was tied up along shore. It was lifted from its position by the first break-up and flood and as the water fell it lodged in a slanting position OP the river bank. In this position it was frozen fast to the ground by the cold weather which fol lowed. It was impossible to release It aud when the final break-up occur red it was thought that it would be crushed by the ice aud carried away. It turned out diflerently, however. Tho water soon began to pour into the slanting boat aud with the heavy machinery installed held it down so that it was in no danger of moving The ice did not injure it. »» *»o nnl* a week or so ago that surprise o» peupie, HI-TCIOIC, J day, to see the boat leave its mooring and riding the water like a dock steam gracefully down the river aud disap pear around the bend. The owner came to town Monday and tinning that the river had fallen low enough he began pumping out the coal digger, which was found to be none the worse foi it* winter's advent ures. A little cleaning up was requir ed, after which stuarn was gotten up and the digger started ou its cruise homeward. Mr. Hartman took the coal digger to Shamokin Dam, where it will be giv en a thorough overhauling. Prospects are good for river coal this season. The deposits shift with each flood that occurs, the spring break-up especially being pretty sure to bring large quan tities of coal down from the mines. The coal men are anxious to get on the ground as soon as possible in order to locate new deposits. The stream is now about low enough to matte coal digging practicable and the owners of boats are anxious to get to work. Mr. LeDuc of our own town was very busy yesterday getting his coal digger in readiness. He is procuring a new shaft, which may delay him somewhat, bnt he expects to bo out fishing for the black diamonds yet daring the present week. Daniel Ross is painting up his hand some naphtha launch and now that the practically fiuished bridge has render ed the launch no longer of any use as a ferry he will place it in commission as an excursion boat. Captain Ross anticipates plenty of business doriug the pleasant summer weather. He is known as an experienced riverman, careful and obliging. His plan is to take oof parties -up or down the river as desired,giving them an all-dav ride or depositing them on an island or shady retreat on shore where iu the evening the launch will return for them. The rates, it is believed, tan be fixed at a figure low enough to make suoh a use of the boat popol »r. The river very rarely falls to its low est point before the latter part of July or August and there will be plenty of water to navigate the launch through the most charming part of the summer when the river itself and the landscape bordering on the stream shows up at the best advantage. Birthday Surprise Party. A surprise party was given Monday •vening by Mrs. T G. Thomas at her home, Front street, iu honor of the 15th birthday of her daughter Miss Lizzie Thomas.

STRIKE FEARED TRAFFIC TIED The threatened soft coal strike had the effect of tyiDg up practically all the freight traffic on the Catawissa Division of the Philadelphia & Head ing K. K. daring the latter part ot last week. With the time approaching tor the signing of the wage scale between tlie unne workers and the operators, the present wage scale expiring Saturday, all the railroads commenced to hold back their shipments of bituminous coal. The result was that there was uo freight business on the Catawissa division of the Reading over which the Heading ships nearly all its soft coal. Instead of 20 pushers being required to posh the heavy trains over the mountain a number of them being re quired to make two trips a day, only two or three pushers were required during the last part of last week. With the assurance Saturday that there would be no strike and that the operators would sign the wage scale traffic became heavier Sunday. The points at issue between the op- erators and miners were: When the two Scale Committees fiist met in joint conference, March 1«>, at Altooua, both sides demanded con cessions. The wage scale last year was based oil 62 cents per ton to the miner and an eight hour day. The operators demanded that the new scale should be based ou 55 cents, coutending that they could not pay more and meet the competition ot the Southern coal fields. The Mine Workers demanded that the basis be put back to 06 cents, from I which it had been reduced a year ago. Finally.the operators proposed to sign the old scale for the last half of tins year and to pay 10 per cent, less for the first half. The Mine Workers de clined,and offered to sign the old scale for the year from April 1. That the Operators' Committee re fused. and the joiut conference ended with a stnke of 45.00J miners threat ening. The action Sunday averts trou ble, as the operators will sign the old scale at the next conference arranged for today.

A. and the special committee appointed at the conference on last Thursday was held in the Association prulor last night for rlie purpose of conferring further on the ways and means of continuing the Y. M. C. A. in Danville. It is safe to say that never in th« history of the Association here has a meeting been held in which there was so much zeal and interest manifested, such a thorough discussion of ways and means, such definite conclusion reach ed and such a firm determination shown to carry the matter through to success.

Whether cl »sses might not be taught in the building affording technical as well as a common school education to those in need of instruction who are employed during the day was one of the themes that held the atteutiou of the meeting for a long time. AH a result of the meeting it was de cided to make a close canvass of the town. For this purpose the Committee was pairel off in couples who will make it a point to call upon every per son, explaining the ueeda of the in stitution aud urging upon them the nceessity of doing something for its support. Old Rivals, Danville has positivelv arranged for a base ball team and now comes word that Taroaqua enthusiasts have bar gained for the lease of the old park there for the placing of a team in the field this year Both of these towns are old ar*d natural rivals of Mt. Car mel and we are hopeful of seeing them here the coming season. - Shamokin Dispatch. GtOBGE KLINE'S FATE IS SULVED The fate of George Kline, t% nearly life-long resident of Eanville, who mysteriously disappeared from the home of his son, Edward Kline, in Williamsport over a year ago,has been most unexpectedly cleared op. On Sat urday afternoon the reiuaiu3 were | found by two boys near the sulphur sptinßß, just below South Williams port. The lads were out Ratherm# arbutus. The trunk was found at the top of a steep bank and the detached head, which was nothing more than a bare skull, was found at least 25 feet away and partly dowu the incline. From the position in which the body was found, it is believed the unfortu nate man was iu a sitting position when he died. The remains appeared to have fallen backward after death, ana the left foot was elevated over the low limb of a tree. The trunk was, like the head, devoid of flesh. The skeleton of the man was really all that was left of the body. There was nothing about the skele ton to determine whether the deceased had been an old or a young man His clothing appeared to have been of good material. He had ou a light colored overcoat of heavy material and it was noticed that a hole had been burned through one of the pookete. A pair of new No. 10 shoes were on the feet. Two handkerchiefs were found in his pockets, one being colored and the other white. In a pocket were a wood en match box. a small lead pencil aud a black handled knife. There was al so a small bag of tobacco and a paper on which was written "ten cent" iu another pocket. An examination of the skull save rise to the belief in the mindß of some of the jurors that the man might have been murdered. On the top was dis covered a pronounced indentation large ' enough in which to lay a dime. The I inner surface of the skull did not si ow a corresponding ridge,but in the cent er of the dent there appeared to be a i small hole through the bone. Edward Kline, son o! the missing man, was interviewed with the result that he became impressed with the idea that the remains found on the South Side might be those of his falh- er. Mr. Kline weut at onoe to the un dertaking establishment of Gage & Gage, 128 West Fourth street, where the skeleton aud the clothing had been removed. He identified the overcoat as belonging to his father by the hole burned in the pocket. "Now, if this is my fattier there will be evidence of a terriflo blow on the head.'' said Mr. Kline. The skull was examined and the in dentation that mystified the members of the coroner's jury proved to be the mark of tlie blow. I Mr. Kline expressed himself »« being I that the dead man was his I Uauvuie some m >ct»m uu.v the elder Kline was injured by a boil er explosion. Tiie indentation in the skull was made by a dying brick. At the time of his disappearance Air. Kline was 81 years of age He wa» born in France. He is survived by two children Mrs. Kobert Morgans of Reading, and Edward Kline of Will -1 »msj ort. Death of E. VV. Oreenongh. Ebeuezer W. Greenough died at his home, corner of Front and Chestnut streets, Sunbnry, at 1:30 o'clock, yes terday afternoon, as the result of paralysis. Although Mr. Greenough's health has been failing for several years past, he has been able to be up and around, and his immediate demise was net looked for. He was at his office on Market Square, Sunbury. as usual, on Saturday, and on Sunday felt some what indisposed, and remained abed. His condition was not regarded as particularly critical, and death came rather unexpectedly. Mr. Greenough was the only son and child of William I. Greenough, de ceased, and his wife, Mary C., who survives. He was born in Sunbury fifty-three years ago. He was educat ed at private schools and preparatory colleges, and entered Princeton Uni versity, in 1870, graduating with the class of 1874. Returning to Sunbury, he took up the study of law at the office of his father, and was admitted to practice at the Northumberland County Bar in 1876. Of late years he paid very little attention to the prac tice of his profession,being engrossed in his own business affairs. He was married to Miss Elizabeth Hewitt of Sunbury, in 1880. To this union were born two children, Mary, now Mrs. David Stevenson of Virignia, and William 1.,0f Sunbury,Mrs. Oreeuough died in the Spring of 1889, and shortly after that Mr. Greenough and his fam ily moved to Philadelphia,where they remained for some years. They return ed to Sunbury about four years ago, where Mr. Greenough has since resid ed. Mr Greenough's family is one of the oldest aud most respected of this com munity. He was a grandson of the late Peter Baldy Sr. of Danville. Eben Greenough was a remarkably widely read and well educated man, and to those who knew him more or less in timately, a delightful compauion and host. He was a member of the Alumni of Princeton College aud, the Penn sylvania Chapter of tin Sous of the American Revolution,being a descend ant of Ebenezer Greeouough of the Haverhill Artilleiy Compauy, of Mas sachusetts Militia,and of the Sunbury Lodge B.

DOCTORS ORGANIZE FOR PROTECTION The physicians of Danville and vic inity will hold a meeting tonight, which will be somewhat oat of the ordinary. Ttie object will be to form a Physicians' Protective Association. The movement, it appears, has bn>u ;on foot for some months past. Organ ization lias been decided opon by the doctors as a means of frustrating the designs of unprincipled people, who, although able to pay their doctor hills, habitually defraud the physicians. One of the doctors back of the move ment yesterday stated that the object Is not to shot out the deserviug poor. So oh will always bo taken care of by the medical fraternity, although there may not be the remotest possibility of ever receiving a dollar in return. The blacklist will be only for tho>e v. ho misapply their means—who in turn call in all the doctors "of town retain ing no one any longer than required to run up a bill, which they make no at tempt to pay. Thoughtful doctors have coucluded that the latter class have beeu indulg ed long enough and the sooner they are cut off from all attendance the bet ter. This is regarded as the only method that will ever induce such pfrsons to deal honorably and to man age their affairs so as to be able to pay the doctor for his services. Tearing Down Canal Bridge. Work wan begun on tearing down the old iron caual bridge at street yesterday afteruouu prepara- Tory to the building of the culvert in j the canal at that point, contract tor which was awarded to Thomas J. ! Evan* on Monday night. Beginning ! with yesterday and continuing daring j the first stage of the work Ferry street I at the oaual will be closed to traffic. The bridge probably will not b? j wholly removed until tonight. I lie | wood work where employed in joists ; and flooring is fooud to be in very had condition. The bridge has been in use j ever since 1871. It was manufactured by the Phoenix Bridge Company at i Phoenixville, although the Company furnishing the bridge according to an inscription on the side railing was the Continental Bridge Company. 11 its day it wan a model piece of work and to iti credit it may be stated that it has faithfully served its purpose dur ing a generation. The spot will scarcely be recognized after the change has been completed. Th" grade existing at present to ac commodate the bridge will be wholly removed and the street, which will be much widened, will he made nearly level. The culvert itself will be quite a propoiition, three feet square and eighty-six feet long. The stoue in the abutmeut will be utilized in construct ing tlit 'vert while the material tor filling up will be obtained in part fiorn the street at each side of the canal, to conform with the sary to prepare for street paving ''J. l large quantity of ashes gathered from the surrounding premises has already been dumped into the canal from the bridge, where they will assist in fill ing up. While the n«w culvert in building may occupy a month it is thought that in a couple of weeks time the work may have readied a stage that will make it possible to provide a narrow crossing which will answer for vehicles as well as for foot people.

The dust blinded persons temporarily, sought every nook and crevice and rained down upon the goods displayed in front of Hid stores. It was one of the things not antici pated on a paved street.but when per sons stopped to reflect it was not clear how it could he otherwise. The paved suiface, dry and warmed up by the sun, readily turns into dust ground dropped upon it by vehicles and the wind does the rest. Council has not as yet passed finally upon the sweeper question. Several persons who have had experience in l.trger cities, have volunteered the in formation that a street sweeper as an instrument for merely keeping down the dust will not fill the bill—in fact . that while iu operatiou it merely stirs ap the dnst. Street Commissioner Miller seems to think that a very good remedy lies it) flushing the street Ireqoently, using the lire and hose. This expedi ency may be resorted to today. To re lieve the situation on Saturday Mr. Miller had a horse and cart and some men at work hauling away the dost where it happened to lodge in heaps. Hcv.

Young and uncle to Countable W. E. \ ouug of this city will he read with interest by Danville people: Saturday evening, John M. C. oung passed away at his residence on North Marshall av.nue, aged 82 years. Mr. Youug was a native of D.iuville, Pa., being born there in 1822. I" 1855 lie came to Michigan and settled upon a farm near Ellis corner*, where he liv- ; ed uutil 1884 when he moved to this o ity. He was the father of four chil dren, two of whom survive.Mrs. Myra Young of this city and K*v. J. Frank Young of Marshfield. Wis. The funeral services were held from the Presby terian church, Tuesday afteruoou, the casket stauding in the same place in the Sunday school room wheie he had been a faithful and earnest teacher for many years. Mr. Young united with the teriau church of this city in 1884, co ming from the Congregatioual church of Fredonia, and in 1888 he was elected a ruling elder, holding the position un til 11)00 when feeble health causul him to decline further election. Ho was an earnest, consistent, true parted, whole hearted Christian gen tleman of the old school, rigid and in flexible as iron in his views ot right ft nd wrong, but with a gentleness and grace that was womanly in its tender ness. He washy no means a religious as cetic, for he entered into all innocent pleasures with great zest,and he dear ly loved the joy of liviug. He also de limited in the companionship of con genial friends, but in it all he never forgot "whose he was, and whom ho served," his religion being to him an every day existence, which was his keenest joy in life. He was » close student of C*od 8 Word and had been connected with the Sabbith school as teacher and scholar for seventy-four years, and his self sacrificing work for good in this im portant department of Christian activ ity still lives and will continue to live in the hearts of those who were his scholars. It does not ofteu occur that a man's friends are as numerous as his ac quaintances, but it would seem that such was the case with this departel brother. He was a peerless type of a disciph of the Mau of Galilee, his pure, op right and honorable lite, his noble aims and his unassuming and la tli ful labors for his Master are virtues worthy of highest praise and emul.»- tion. The "good gray head" of this faith ful follower of thp Lord of life will be sadly missed in the church, in the prayer meetings,in the Sabbath school, as well as in the family circle. " Fiiendfhip must weep, though fraith with blameless pride Tells how this Christian triumphed as he died. . Earth's deare-t blessings round his heart entwined, God, who gave them all, he all re i »• Won a NaunToi .tame."

This evidently was never intended by the author ; it is Bach who here has once more outdone the poet. We also trace an unraist ikable poetical purpose in the scheme by which the work is made to die away with the sixth verse of the chorale "Du O schoues Weltgebaude" on the sub dominant of the principal key.
