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

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

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.

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- '

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.

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.

I CRIMINAL COURT
A FARCE
Judge Clinton K. 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.

for the Unitel Telephone and Telr- ;

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
