Railway Company, with an assistant, was iu this city yesterday surveying the bottom of the canal for the purpose of determining whether or not it would be feasible to sink a pipe in the abandoned waterway for the purpose of carrying off the water which at present accumulates with every rain and lies until it becomes stagnant. The engineer's visit was in response to several communications from the Board of Trade of this city, in which the bad state of affairs was shown up and iu which it was suggested that the only remedy lay in piping and fill ing up the canal within the borough limits. Bad as the conditions are down town still a worse state of affairs exist in the Second Ward, where dur ing the summer, especially, the water throws off fonl and stagnant odors and becomes a veritable disease breeder. Time after time the residents there have brought the matter before Coun cil The latter body in order to re lieve the situation did the only thing feasible, which was to dig a treuch aloug the bottom of the canal. There was uot enough fall, however, aud the ditch generally failed of its purpose It is thought, however, that a pipe ot proper dimensions if rightly latd, might pmve capable of off the w.t r. The engineers were snr h -re for the purpose of determining w oether -uol. a pipe could be 1 lid in th • canal with sufficient pitch to make ii at all efficient. They ariived here during th" forenoon and soon perfect ed the H <rvey. A glance »t the old ditch convinced tlron that they faced a pretty ugly proposition. The bot tom ot the canal is a mass of soft mud aud pipe could be suuk only with the aid of cribbing. It is pretty evident, too, that the three culverts with wat erways conforming with the bottom of the canal might complicate matters somewhat. What report the engineer may make will not be knowu until later. It is the opinion of some that the step taken by the D. L. & W. Railroad Company iu laying pipe indicates that it has a filling up of the old ditch iu view, whether this important detail is to be left to the Borough or will be done by the D. L. & W. Company at its pleasure being one of the facts which may develop later. Nothiug more essential in the line of improve ment could be conceived of thau a total obliteration of the old caual. Offensive and an eyesore at best it is reudered donbly unsightly by the ashes and the miscellaneous articles which accumulate In back yards that have beeu dumped over its banks. Any measure, therefoie whioh will effect drainage and prevent the possibility of making a spot in the center of the Borough a dumping ground for ashes and articles of worse description is to ba hailed with pleasure by our citi zens. Letter From Norman Hosteliey. Alfred E. Hosteliey is iu receipt of an interesting letter from his son Nor man,on board the United States Steam Ship Kentucky, at Pensacola, Florida. Norman enlisted in the United States Navy two years ago, at the age of six teen, and will serve as an apprentice until he reaches the age of twenty-one. In the letter the young apprentice speaks very interestingly of his life on boarii ship, and of the entertainment afforded the sailors while ou shore. He is a shellman on the thirteen-inch turret. The Kentucky was recently stationed at Havana, Cuba, and Mr. Hosteliey writes the following about his experiences there: "We have just cleaned up after a week of fine times in Havana. The people there gave us a banquet that was a grand affair—we had everythiui a hungry persou cou'd wish for, from roast* to cigars There were five hun dred if us at the table, and after the banquet we had a grand march in winch the young ladi <s of the city joined. This was followed by » dance." Mr. Ho«tellev speaks of their new Admiral, "Fighting Bob Evans," and of hi« great popularity among the sailors of the fleet. Elopers Found. Mrs. Thomas Beck, of Lewisbnrg, and William Cassatt, a Shamokin um brella meuder, have been located at last They were seen last week at Liverpool, ou the Ohio River, where they were living in a flat boat.

IBM TO MZ LETON B( TROLLEY Anthracite coal regions financiers, who several years ago started tlie movement looking forward to the building of a trolley Hue from Nesco peck to Hazleton were over the ground agaiu Saturday wlieu the route was determined upou aud mauy of the necessary arrangements made so that all the preliminary work may he clear ed up in order to secure the erection of the road next year. Such in brief was the information given George Wesler, of Noscopeok.over whose land the oompauy will have to run for a distance of two and a half miles. The line will run along the Hazle tou-Nescopeck turnpike aud the one obstacle which coufroaied the pro moters of the road was cleared up Sat urday—that of reaching Nescopeck from Tank. The question was wheth |er the line should be built over the lull or whether a new road should be built down along the tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad. It was final ly determined that the over-the-hill i road would be the oue, inasmuch as the construction of the liue aloug the tracks of the Peunsvlvama Railroad would entail enormous expense, in { eluded in which would be the neces sity for a large number of bridges. The route as plauned is: Leaving Nescopeck the road would run out past the mill.crossing the creek on theuew bridge to be constructed by the state this summer; thence up Nuss' hollow along the railroad by Shaffer's church, thence up through the gap, up the I mountain to the left of the creek aud into Tank. Swinging to the left of Nescopeck ere k tlie line wo-lcl con tinue until Hazleton-Nescopeck turn pike was strook at Seybertvilie, con tinuing into West Hanleton and Haz leton. There is, it is stated, plenty of money back of the road aud its erec tion is assured. At Nescopeck the road will connect with the Ni.'Bcop6ck ter minus of the Columbia & Montour Electric Railroad, which with the com pletion of the Danville & Snubury line will give direct connections by trol ley all the distance fiotn the New York state lines to Sunbary aud with the erection of the liue from Sanbury to Shamokin throughout the entiro coal region. Commissioners' Joint Meeting. The County Commissioners of Mon tour and Northumberland counties held a joint meeting iu the Court House yesterday at which was takej import aut action relating to the formal ac ceptance of the river bridge when the structure is completed and handed over by the State. At tha joint meeting were present Messrs. Gforge Leighow of Dauville; C W. Cook, of Valley township, and Henry Cooper, of Derry towuship, Montour Couutv Commissioners; John H Be k. of Suubury.and A.

Iu the afternoon the matter of a suit able reception to the Governor was taken up iu case he should come to Danville on the occasion of the iuspec tiou of the bridge a* has been reported he intends to do along with a number of other State officials. The Commis sioners, howjver,were working wholly in the dark, as uot only had they no positive assurance that the Governor would be piesent, but the date of the inspection was also uucertain In order that no unnecessary work might be done, on motion it wus de cided that William Kase West, cf this city, and Charles C. Lark, of Shamok in, attorneys for the two boards of Commissioners, were directed togo to Harrisburg and call upon the Gover nor to ascertain facts as to the in spection—whether or not he will posi tively be present and what kind of proceediugs would likely be iu order to mark the acceptance of the bridge. The Commisdoners have a modest program in view, which includes a speech from attorney Lark in response to Govert or Peunypark r should the latter make the address formally hand ing the bridge over to the County Commissioners. Among others invit ed to be present would be the Repre sentatives of our own and Northumber land county as well as the State Sen ators. Will Meet in Wilkesbarre. The next annual convention of the Pennsylvania Bankers' association will be held in Wilkesbarre in Juue next. This was decided at a meeting of the officers, held Saturday at Wilkesbarre.

Baylor, Supervisor of Gearhart Town sliip, for the upper end, yesterday, it was learned that as things now stand Northumberland County will build the expensive retaining walla at the ap proach to the river bridge on the South Danville side, although it will be left for Gearhart township to do the filling up, which will be a big proposition in itself. Mr. Baylor said that the report made by the viewers was in favor of the county building tlie two high retain ing walls. The township, ht said, it > was understood, did not object to the filling up, provided they were reliev ed of the more expensive part of the work involved in the retaining walls. Mr. Baylor sayß that the report of the viewers lias already been before the Judge and that as he understood it ; the County Commissioners were em i powered to proceed forthwith with the ) construction of the retaining walls. It i was a mat'er of much surprise to him that the work was not begun several days ago. He had a talk with the Commission ers or ixoruiumoeriaua County on ine occasion of their visit to this city yes terday and reverting to the subject was informed that there waa no likeli hood of the work going on until the May term of Court, when the matter ) would be brought before the Grand I Jury. The people of South Danville are i mnch chagrined over tlie delay,aa they are very anxious that the approach i should be constructed by the time the bridge is completed or as soon after ward as is po-sible. Until the finish i ing touches are put on the approach travel over the bridge will be attend i ed with considerable difficulty. i A Beautiful Memorial. A most beautiful piece of cemetery wotk hi the form of a granite cross, five feet, five indie* liigh, is near its completion at T. L. Evans' Son monumental works of this city. Ir is a memorial to be planed ovei the grave of Frank S. Erheridge in Charles Evans' cemetery at Reading It is construct :ed of tlie darkest aud mo-t sombre I stone tJiat nature cm produce. Iu de sign it is cla-sio, in its outline em i blematic of Frank's life and characte iit will mark Ins testing place—aim , plicitv, and true to his fellow men, beloved by all wlio knew him. Frank was formerly roller at tlie Reading Iron Works in this city and died in September of 1904. The beauti ful memorial is the production of Frank'a constant companion iu life, Mr Reinhalter and represents the finest and most polished workmanship R. I DELIVERING PULES FOR BUBAL PHONES An aot roeently approved by Gover nor Samael W. Pemiypacker, prohibit ing the saie or use of certain fire works, fireorackers, explosive canes and ammunition,and providing penal ties for the violation of the same, is the cause of quite a little comment among many of the wholesale and re tail dealers in fireworks. The dealers feel that this new law will make ma terial inroads npon their business on the Fourth of July, bat all are ready to comply with it. In this act only certain high explos ives are attacked. It will be unlawful to sell fireworks and firecrackers con taining picric acid, piorates;all ex plosive canes using chlorate of potash or other high explosive ammunition ; all explosive caues using blank cart ridges ; all blank cartridge pistols, and all tablets composed of chlorate of potash or other high explosive com pounds. One portion of the law seems a trifle Inconsistent, according to the dealers, from the fact that picric acid is used in enormous quantities iu all the dve shops. This acid is used largely in the production of fireworks tint make a whistling noise, such as whistling bombs. The acid was considered dang erous by those instrumental in passing the law,for the reason that if the acid gets into a wonnd or even the slightest abrasion of the skin and the wound is not immediately given nrop-»r medical attention it will cause tetanus, or blood poisoning and iu some cases it is known to have caused lockjaw after only three days of inattention As there are numbers of people injured on the Fourth of July,one can readily see wherein lies the danger. There is one factory in Petersburg, Va..that relies almost entirely on this aoid in the production of its manufact ures. The concern has been doing an enormous business in the State of Pennsylvania, but with the passage of this new law the concern will either be compelled to sell its product iu some other State or go out of business, as it made a specialty of whistling rookets and canes, and fireworks mak ing a whirring, screaming and whistl ing noise. There is plenty of disappointment among the patriotio enthusiasts who i get op in the small hoars of the morn i ing of the Fourth and celebrate until I the last gun is fired. They will have to confine themselves for awhile to the use of display works, and the firing of oannon and firecrackers. But new in ventions and clever ideas will take the place of the old aDd iu future years the pistol will be a curiosity and will be looked upon the same as the high i bicycle is now.

Wonderful luck usuallv a't'inl the angler in Centre county, wln re fish are sometimes caught even in the heart of Bellefoute. the county seat There is good fishing at Paddy Moun tain, Oak Hall, Cobarn. Centre Hall, or any of the stations along Logan's oreek. Buffalo Ruu.parall lei by rail road line from Bellefnnte, is even b t, ter, while Laurel Run. Moshannou- Black Bear, anil Six Mile cieek- are usually teemiug with fish. In fact, one finds splendid trout streams in every direction. Among Clinton county's famous streams are Sinnamahoning creek, the best fishing part of which, however, is In Cameron oounty; Kettle, Drarv ROD, Paddy's Run and Yonng Woman's creek all within a few miles of each other,east and west of Renovo, on the Pennsylvaonia Railroad. For two years the Pennsylvania Railroad has been restocking Clinton's streams Last season 100,000 young J«h were turned loose in them,and as many more will be placed there this year. Fishing along most of these steams Is consider ed almost ideal. They are wide, with scarcely any brush upon the banks. Furthermore, wading is easy. Scarce ly any one goes bait fishing in these waters, where it is a delight to cast the seductive fly. It is estimated that at least 500,000 young fish have been deposited annually iu the waters of Center, Clinton aod Clearfield coun ties daring the past six years. Each county has at least two associations for the protection of fish aud these have been very active. City Planting a Forest.

CERTAIN FIREWORKS ARE FORBIDDEN A number of poles have already been delivered ou the ground iu the vicinity of Strawberry Ridge while an order for five hundred more have been plac ed by the People's Telephone Con struction Company which is now ready to proceed with the construction of the two lines under contemplation. The Company is also arranging for the purchase of several thousand pounds of wire and other needed material. The work of building will bo given out by contract. Everything now is in readiness and all that are needed are the bidders. The lines assured are as follows: One from Washingtouville to Exchange by way of Strawberry liidge. with two central offices,one at Exchange and the other at Washing touville. Another liue will extend from Jerseytown to Exchange by way of White Hall. Success is assured by the large number of subscribers that have already been secured, while the sale of stock still goes on merrily. Daring an interview yesterday Mr. Pettijohu said that the sentiment is rapidly growing and that the outlook is most encouraging, indicating not only that they will be able to com plete the several lines through out the northern and central part of the county origiually contemplated, but also to extend the system to Dan ville and even ea-tward aud southward beyoud here into adjoining counties. The People's Telephone Construction Company has received requests to bring its system to Milton, to Hughes ville and to Millville. It is also as sured of the hearty co-operation of the United Telephone and Telegraph Com pany and an agreement lias been en tered into between the two Companies by which the rural system is to have the use of the poles of the United Tele pnone and Telegraph Company be tweeu Washingtonville and Danville, all that is required being that the new Company furnish its owu wire. The objections to a raral line at first encountered have been nearly over come by the promoters. Some persons thought that it jpight lead to the dis placement of rural free delivery,while others foresaw in the wires a source of danger during the prevalence of thund er showers. A little reading up has convinced most people that iu either case fears are unfounded. In regard to the latter every electric railway and every telephone system in operation stands as an object lesson to show how seldom if ever accidents occur either from the electricity iu use or from the lightning when thunder storms occur.

HOUSE LIFTED FROM FOUNDATION April 10th is a pretty early date for a heavy thander shower, bat we had one Monday of the regulation mid summer sort. For awhile it was so dark that lights had to be lighted in dwellings, while the wind blew with almost cyclonic fory and the rain came dowu iu torrents; the lightning was blinding and the thunder at times was quite load. The shower covered a wide area and mach damage is reported. /it Still water, Columbia coauty, the barn of Dr. Stoker was struck by lightning aud barned to the groaud. Two fine horses and thr6e head of cattle were barned with the barn,along with mow ing machine, hay rake, cultivator and a large quantity of hay and grain. One horse aud 12 head of cattle were sav ed. The barn was a large one, 70x50 feet. There was a small insurance. The barn on the farm of G. M. Shoop.sitaated aboat three miles from Washingtonville was partly unroofed by the storm. Mauy flue trees as well as fences were blown down at differ ent points. At Briaroreek a number of telegraph poles were leveled to the ground, and the servioe interrupted for several hoars. At Washingtonville a portion of W. J. Messersmith's furniture warehouse was unroofed. At the Fourth Ward school build ing, this oity, the large flag pole was blown down. A very remarkable phenomenon in connection with the storm was wit nessed in Danville,which was nothing less than a gigantic waterspout, that formed on the river just above the bridge and at nearly express train speed went sweeping op the 6tream. It seem ed to be a column of water nearly forty feet high and as it whirled along iu rapid rotation the water at its base was violently agitated aod heaped op with a leaping or boiling motion. At the foot of Iron street Benjamin Sommous is building a new house, a two aud a half story frame structure some 25x40 feet. The sides are already plauked and the rafters in position. Reaching a point opposite Iron street the cyclone left the river and makiug a bee line for Mr. Sommons' new dwel ling lifted it bodily from the ground raising it several feet and then set it dowu again on the same foundation, it was a most fantastic trick for the elemeuts to play, but the oddest part of it is that none of the timbers of the hoase are broken, although the whole building is out of plumb and the foundation is badly jammed. It is a question whether the house can not be fixed up at little expense so that build ing can resume. The cyclone passed on aud after up rootiug a tree a short distance above weut out on the river where it grad ually lost its force. Cheated Death.

No Smoking in Waiting Room. Per»ous addicted to smokiug will have to eschew the weed while aboat the waiting rooms or the platforms of the P. & R depots, hereafter. Sta tion a-ter P. H. Foust has received an order from headquarters requesting that the "na smoking" notices hereaf ter be strictly enforced. Many of these uotlces, it seems, of late years have not been strictly observed. Even in the waiting rcoms. when no ladies were about, it seems, by common con sent the haoit of smoking is indulged. All this will be different hereafter. Cigar aud pipe will be uncompromis ingly banished. Ladies or no ladies, hereafter the least suggestion of smoke whether it be of the odor or the smoke itself will not be tolerated about the waiting rooms. The Philadelphia aud Reading Rail way Company is also waging a relent less war on cigarettes A decree has been issued by the company that is far reaching and bars the "coffin nails" on all sides. Hereafter the sale of oigarettes is prohibited either on its trains or at the stations.

On Sat urday the County Commissioners were busy giving ont the books, which with but one or two exceptions were called for by the officials. The Assessors' returns will he made early in May. For the townships and Washingtooville Borough the appeal will be held on May 10; for Danville the date of appeal is fixed for May 15th. Under the provisions of the school law at present the asses-or is ohliged to carefully obtain a list of all the children In the ward or township be tween the ages of six and sixte u years. It Is very essential that no omissions ocour in the list of children between the above ages, as it is upon these, the number of teachers employ ed and the number of taxables in a district that the State appropriation is based on equal proportions. That er rors do creep in is evident enough, as it frequently occurs that more pupils turn np on the school register than have been returned by the as e-scr as between the school ages. Since such errors are costly to the district the necessity of exercising care in this relation is obvious. There is another column i-i the as sessors' book which proves invaluable to the teachers aud that is the one in which is recorded the date of the pup il's bi'th. When this column is prop erly filled out the teacher can at a glanoe tell whether or not a boy or girl has arrived at an age which would permit him or her to leave school, while as is too often the case when there has been neglect ami the date of birth lias not been recorded,the teach er may be imposed upon by pupils who wish to leave school before their time and choose to misrepresent their age in order to gaiu the teachers acquies cence.

The fact seems to be that the men were frying to burglarize the tool house and had pi ired one of their num ber up on the ra.lroad as a sentry. The Constable stealthily proceeded to the spot and the first thing that he knew he was between the man on guard and the others at work at the tool honse. Mr. McCracken taking in the situa tion, in quick sui oe-sion fired several stio's over the would be burglars' heads who in-t*ntly to<>k to their heels and ran in the directi >ll of the bridge. The Coustable called to the meu to stop and fired several other shots after them, but did not hit them. The last seen of them they were scampering over the bridge t ward Danville.

On the bridge was found a large chisel evidently dropped by the men, which hid been nsed in forcii.g the chest open. Near the chest were found the bra-s injector and lu bricator lying on the ground.
