MONTOUR AMERICAN FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., May 4, 1905- Announcement. I hereby announce myself as a can didate for County Commissioner, sub ject to the decision of the Republican Primary election. CHAS. W COOK, of Valley Township. H MATTERS OF INTEREST Some delay was caused in street i av inn yesterday by the discovery that the trolley tract as pot down does not conform witli the height of the curb. An effort was made to reach Borough Surveyor Keefer at Sunbury by 'phone, calling him to Danville, hot he could not be located. In the iuterim there was a general hold up of work on the street. Later Contractor Rogers put some men to work concreting and do ing other work where any change of grade that might be necessary would not interfere. •t * n John E. Patterson is laying a new flag stone pavement in front of the millinery establishment on Mill street. The repairing of the pavement pres ented quite a problem owing to the pit between the sidewalk and the house used to admit ligbt into the cel lar. The repairs involved the con struction of a new (light of stone steps leading down from the sidewalk as well as a new retaining wall, which Mr. Patterson changed somewhat in rebuilding, so as to widen the side walk. * n m p. O. Murray & Sons have taken down the long wooden awning in front of their block, corner of Mill and Northumberland streets,which togeth er with a coat of new paint applied in front of the bnilding, gives the_spot quite a changed appearance. At first glance yesterday many persons not knowing that the awning had been taken down, were at a loss to know what had caused the transformation. « «t « Three Salvation Army lassies have taken possession of our town. They made their appearance Tuesday and yesterday canvassed the business places pretty thoroughly offering army pub lications for sale. Their appearance in Danville is quite a novelty, as no Sal vationists have been seen here since the barracks were closed a couple of years ago. « * n Charles E. Mencken, State Inspector at the river bridge, yesterday stated that nothing but the driveway will be closed when the bridge is completed, the two sidewalks remaining open. Mr. Mencken will leave on Saturday. He does not know when the inspec tion will take place. CORTELYOU SAID TO HAVE ACCEPTED JOB WASHINGTON,May 3.—Postmaster General Cortelyou is said to have ac cepted the offer of the Presidency of the Equitable Life Assurance Society in spite of the unofficial denials that Wiave been made. As President Alex ander has not yet resigned the offer was made to Mr. Cortleyou only in a tentative way and his acceptance was of oourse, made conditional upon Mr. Alexander's retirement, and upon the offer coming to him with the authority of the directorate. Although the salary in the future will probably be 1100,000 which has been paid the Equitable presidency in times gone by.it will probably be sev eral times as large as that of a cabinet officer and Mr. Cortelyou who is a comparatively poor man would doubt less find it hard to put it aside. Mr. Cortelyou is said to be acceptable to both factions in the fight for control and is warmly backed by such men as H. C. Prick and Elihu Root. Something New Under the Sun. All the world clamors for something new. None more keenly realize this or act more promptly and liberally thereou, thau do the successful fur nishers of public amusements of all kinds. It behooves the manager of a circus to be alive to these conditions and most responsive and generous in meeting and complying with them, to the wondei .delight and satisfaction of all classes. The Sig. Sautelle & Welsh Brothers combined Circus & Menagerie which appears in Danville Tuesday, May 16th, promises their patrons a bran-new splinter show in every de partment; the greatest acts of the cir cus and vaudeville profession; the very latest ideas in equestrianism ; a menagerie filled with unique speci mens of the animal kingdom and a street parade that will be a genuine surprise to the citizens of Danville. The Messrs. Sautelle & Welsh also promise that everything that they ad vertise will be forthcoming and that their exhibition will be worthy of a visit by everybody. The railroad authorities are showing commendable aotivity in their move ments to prevent illegal car riding. That they are determined to stop this practice is indicated by the arrests made within the past two weeks for such trespass on their roads. The fel lows who indulge in this illegal and dangerous habit should take warning. It is reported that the Sooth is re ducing its cotton acreage this Spring, running in the states in the cotton belts from 18 to 25 per cent, corn and vegetables being substituted for cot ton The planting season is from ten days to three weeks late in Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi. Eagles National Convention. Considerable interest iB already be ing manifested in the forthcoming na tional convention of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, to be held during the latter part of August in Denver, Col orado. RUSSIAN FLEET STILL IN HIDING TOKIO. May 3. —lt is now rumored that the destination of all the Russian fleets is Petropavlovsk, in Kamchatka, a peninsula in Northeastern Asia, ex tending into the Paoific ocean and separating Bearing Sea from the sea of Okhotsk, instead of Vladivostok. The Russians, it is stated, have been accumulating coal at Petrop»vlov<k, but it is inadequate for laud defeus? Petropavlovsk is the capital of Kam chatka and is located on the eist coast of the peniusulaon the bay of Avatcha. It is about 1,200 miles north east of Vladivostok in a straight line and the Russians will have to sail a greater distance to make it by sea. The port is small and the normal population is under 1,000. It is the principal military station of Russia iu that re gion. RUSSIAN NAVY MEN HAVE BEEN STEALING ST. PETERSBURG. May 3.-The commander of the Russian Black sea squadron has ordered legal proceed ings to be instituted against numerous high officials of the navy department who are stationed at Sevastopol. The commander charges that these officers have been guilty of selling worship supplies and of pocketing the proceeds RUSSIANS HAVE TAKEN A BRITISH STEAMER KOBE. Japan, May 3.—lt is reported that the Russians have captured the British steamer Planet Venus. The Maritime register shows that the Planet Venus under the command of Captain Keller,sailed from Antwerp on February 25, bound for Yokohoma. She was reported at Colombo, Ceylon, on April 5. SAIGON RIVER IS THE COALING STATION HONG KONG. May 3.—The British steamer Woodford reports seeing a Russian volunteer cruiser and some German vessels in the Saigon river. The Woodfords's officers say that thou sands of tons of coal are stacked along the Saigon river for the use of the Rus sians. Twelve transports were observ ed lying off the mouth of the river. SPECIAL SESSION OF COUNCIL [Continued From First Page. ] the Borough aud that it give bond for the faithful carrying out of its agree ment as to making the change of rail. It was only by requiring a bond, he said, that Council could justify itself before the public in receding from its position and permitting the use of the rail decided against at the previous meeting. Mr. Yetter objected to an extra bond, but stated that he was willing to give guarantee in some other way. At his suggestion the following condition was added to the bond just accepted, which was regarded as satisfactorily covering the ground: "That the Danville aud Sunbury Street Railway Company, its successors and assigns shall remove the rails now laid 011 any section of Market street and replace the same with the same style and weight rail as is now ou Mill street upon ten days' notice when said Borough of Danville by ordinance duly enacted decides to pave that sec tion of said Market street." 011 motion of Mr. Sweisfort it was ordered that after the above condition be added to the bond the Dauville and Sunbury Street Railway Company be permitted to begin the laying of its track at the eastern end of Market street and to proceed as proposed, lay ing the rail that is on the ground. On motion of Mr. Reifsuyder, sec onded by Mr. Magill the Secretary was instructed to notify the Danville aud Bloomsburg Street Railway Company to plank its track at the curve at A and Bloom streets. On motion of Mr. Goe*er the con tract for sewer pipe was awarded to J. H Cole. How's This ? We offer One Hundred Dollars He ward of any case of Catarrh that can not tie cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

IN FAVOR OF VACATING I Continued from First Page, j Point township. Many persons on their way to town driving timid horses , would like to use the river road toes- ' cape die cars aud the Heading Iron Woibs ;nlso farmers who have business., on West Market or West Mahoning street by u-ing that road are able to save a mile. Were the road vacated Im, would not give within 5) per cent, or what the land would be worth if it. had an outlet. Joseph W. Keelv ,vas called to the stand. He has known the road for fifty years. He coufirmed the preced ing witnesses as to the uses and neces sity for the road ;n well a-* to the de preciation properties would suffer if it were closed. W. A. Shepperson. the owner of a i farm abutting on the- old road, was an important witness. Ife declared that a vacation of the roai would mean a depreciation in value of at least one half in all the land abutting. He con j firmed the preceding witnesses in all I essential points that opposed the vaca tion. Owing to the ah6euoe of the bridge at the|< reek's mouth he is much discommoded in his farm work. L Finishing up his work at one point in order to get his teams to another point oue hundred feet away he is obliged r to drive, dragging his farming imple -3 ments, around over a mile."He denied * that it would be costly to restore the 1 old road. He, himself, would j>ut up a bridge at the creek's mouth for $350 and sell the laud required for a high way 33 feit wide, at the rate of $l5O J per acre,guaranteeing the road tor ten years. Not more than an acre would j be required to restore what is washed , away. The last and tlie only witness called t by the township was Engineer George j W. West. He has known the road for i, fifty years. He described the extent to which the river cuts into the shore aud stated that the last road located lies 30 or 40 feet out in the river-. He referred to records and showed that the old river road was first built in 1780. Owing to the inroads of the riv- er it was changed successively in 1832, in 1849, in lSOti, in 1875, and in 1898. i To rebuild the road in its old location i would be co-tly,necessitating a ret a in- B ing wall aud heavy fill tor at least halt a mile. It would be necessary to reconstruct a bridge, which should be on a new site. Conceding the neces sity of the road he woul l recommend applying to Court for a relocation, »e --constructiou being too burdensome. Without argument the matter was submitted to the viewers, who in a short time arrived at a decision, set " ting forth that they had vi wed the road aud that they are of the opinion - that the same has become useless, in r convenient aud burdeusome and that - it therefore ought to he vacated. The board of viewers was composed eot D. F. Gouger, James F. Ellis and 112 Matthew Sheep. a Charles Battalia is Acquitted s Charles Battaglia, the well-known Italian Padroue.who has had troubles • of his own for some months past, yes -0 terday was acquitted of assault aud fi battery in the Bloom-burg court. s Charlie, whose Italian laborers have ' been working about Danville for a ? year past and who himself is almost a daily visitor here,was very happy over t the verdict last evening, s Battaglia, the proprietor of a saloon r iu West Berwick, was charged with t shooting another foreigner named b Demike on the night of December 17th. 1 Demike testified that Battaglia pot 1 him out of the saloon and while eject- B ing him drew a revolver and shot him in the left leg near the hip. He was badly hurt and was taken to the Haz s leton Hospital where he has been most ' of the time since. Under a rigid cross ' examination by Mr. Scarlet ho stuck b to his story. s Charles Battaglia, the first witness t called aud defendant in the cast,testiti - ed that he closed his har on the 17th of December at about 10 minutes of 12 - All his patrons left the place except Demike and his three companions. Just before lie had counted the money and took it from the cash register. Demike then at once asked for a glass of beer,which the witness refused say ing that he would give none after twelve o'clock. Demike then came op to him; grabbed him by the coat aud said lie wanted some of tin money. Demike then reached his hand in the wituess' pocket to get the paper money which he had there. The other met) jumped on him and iu the scuffle Bat taglia grabbed his revolver. "I said : "Now* go.nothing has happened yet " > Demike then came at me with a knife s or a raz ir, and said he wouldn't go until ho had cut my throat. He cou j tiuued to come on and 1 shot him in t the leg. I shot low and didn't intend ' to kill him. Battaglia's story seemed togo with the jurymen and they acqaitted him. Weak Hearts Are J:.e to indigestion. Ninety-nine of every one hundred people who have heart trouble can remember when it was simple indiges tion. It is a scientific fact that all cases of heart disease, not organic, are not only traceable to but are the direct result of Indi gestion. All food taken into the stomach which fails of perfect digestion ferments and swellsthe stomach, puffing it up against the heart. This interferes with the action of the heart, and in the course of time that delicate but vl'al organ oecomes diseased. Mr D K jb - of Nevada.

Savidge.in North umberland county court yesterday said that criminal court was more or less a farce,especially iu that and other coal region counties of the commonwealth, as fully niue-tenths of the casus were trivial and unworthy the attention of any court and jury. The prosecutions, he said, were brought by some high-tempered wom an, drunken man or some other irre sponsible party. The majority of cases are composed of the leavings after the justices of the peace have disposed of all the cases in which they could se cure their costs without making a re turn. Almost Electrocuted. Walter Roth, of Shamokin, lineman for the Unitel Telephone and Telr- ; graph Company, had a harrowing ex- j perience on the top of a pole at Edge wood, and only the fact that he was strapped to the pole saved him a fall to the ground and possible death He tiad climbed to the top of the j pole to connect a wire, and luckily' took the precaution to strap himself fast. He was handling the trolley feed wire when his spur came in contact j with tin wire leading to the ground. A circuit formed, 550 volts passed through his body, his form grew rig id, and his eyes bulged from the sock ets. In a moment or two the circnit was broken and the lineman was left in a limp couditiou, hanging bv the strap, i He rallied and succeeei in climbing j safely down the poh'.
