SOLUIOM DENTS STRANGE RIDO Amoug the visitors to this city yes terday was Solomon Derk of Shamok iu, a man who iu a remaikable way illustrates that bodily infirmity, even though the most grievous affliction, need not necessarily embitter a man to the world and cut off his capacity for enjoyment. Solomon I)< rk is seventy-eight years of age. Iu addition he has not walked for twenty-two years, being a victim of paralysis and di-abled from th« hips down. Solomon, however, who is gift ed with a genial, sunny disposition, does Dot mind the advaucing years and he very easily gets over the in firmity of net b ing able to walk by installing his bed in a covered wagon aud employing a driver to take him wherever he wishes to go. Thus he is enable to enjoy many an extemled trip out among the green fields aud over the country roads that he knew iu early life, visiting old friends by the way. Y'esterday he passed through Dau ville iu his comfortable bed-wagou on his way to Mooresburg, where Mr. Derk said he knew the Moser family and would call upon them. The wag on was in charge of George O. An man, a Councilman of the Tenth Ward of Shamokiii. They leftShamokin yes terday morning and arrived in Dan ville via the free ferry about 11 o'clock. Darius the short sojourn in this city Mr. Derk found time to renew ac quaintance with several friends. The old man lying ou his couch became very reminiscent and el welt with an imation upon the more active days of his life when he served an enlistment in the 106 th Regiment in the Civil War or made his living as a shingle maker in the woods of Colombia and Nortbumberland counties. Mr. Derk speuf many years of his life iu the vicinity of what is kuowu as the "Derk Settlement" lying be tween Millville aud Pine Summit, Columbia Couuty. He was a famous slungle-maker in the days when shin gles were worked out by hand. When iu bis prime, be said yesterday, he built up great records in the woods. It was his boast that more than once he had takeu a tree growing in the woods, cot it down and worked out 1000 shingles, all in one half a day. Mr. Derk does not like Shamokin. He says the town is "too noisy" and the object of his visit to Mooresburg is to see whether he cat) not rent a house at that place. Failing at Moores burg he will proceed to Pottsgrove, where he thinks he would also like to live. Solomon Derk lying on his bed pass ed through Danville nearly two years ago. He was tlu-u on his way to Wat sontosvn to visit some old friends. A Representative Amusement Enterprise. The Sig.

To Prevent TONS nship Bankruptcy An act to which Governor Penny packer h is attached his signature a few days ago will remedy an expensive abuse in many of the counties in this state. Under the provisions of the act all judgments given by justices of the peace against townships, boroughs or school districts nin-t be filed with the prothonotarv within one week from the time of the rendition of judg ment. Heavy taxpayers in many cejunties have had 1 urge burdens in the shape of taxes plac I upon them owing to the loose methods in which judg ments have been given against munic ipalities aud school districts. H HIDINGS ARE COMPLETED Tlie rebuilding aud many alterations on foot at the stove works are practic ally completed. The new additions Rive the plant qaite a changed appear aDce ou the exterior, while 011 the in side in addition to the increased space there are impioved facilities and le arraugeinent of departments that will add to convenience and indirectly as sists in improved showing. The annex to the foundry was the first portion completed. The floors are all iu shape aud now moulders are be ing employed as fast as they airive. From some eighty, at present employ ed. the number w'll ha increased to a huudred or over. As at present ar ranged there is no more comrnod ioas. better ventilated or better light ed shop iu the coautry. To facilitate work and make it easier for the mould ers a trolley system Is contemplated and will probably be installed very soon to convey the iron from the cu pola to the various floors. Instead of being laboriously carried by hand to the remote end of the foundry the heavy ladles of moltou metal will be suspended from an overhead trolley and poshed aloug with scarcely any effort. Tlie capacity of the mounting room has been doubled by tlie addition of another story. Several new mounters have already been employed aud more will be taken on later. The second story in the mounting department is one of the most desirable apartments about the whole plaut, being well lighted, airy and decorated with a coat of whitewash. Several new mach ines are being installed in the ch-an ing room while every department is being enlarged to beep pace with the increased capacity of the moulding department. About a year ago the offices were re moved from the first story to the sec ond floor. Among other changes that followed, the supply department, pre sided over by William Flick, has also been removed from the first story aud is now installed on the second floor of the main warehouse adjacent to the offices. As a result of the enlargement and the improved facilities the prodaot of the plant will be increased by at least one-third. National Guard and its Doings.

Roy Livingstone, a young man who hails from Maine, employed in in-t ti ling machinery at the paper null at Oatawissa, met with a bad accident yesterday. While working about one of the machines his hand was caught in the belt and all the fingers severed. | FOR THE MB OF ,'BB INJURED The first "HospLal" car on the Lackawanna railroad went into service Friday last ou the Bioimsburg divis ion. It is a model of its kind and will be stationed at Kingston. In case of accident it can be easily moved to any point and the victim or victims of an accident removed to their homes in comfort This new car for the injured is un der the personal supervision of Dr. R. H. Lake, district surgeon of the com pany. This car has formerly been used as a passenger coach, but has been remodel ed, fiaiuted and tastily arrauged iu a light yellow, and varnished so that it preseuts a cheerful appearance with out and within. Ou either side of the car, near the center, is a sliding door, through it the injared being received. There are steam heat attachments, a high pressure brake, and every con venience for making the injured as comfortable as possible. There are six upholstered couches, covered with black enameled cloth, with pillows of the same material. Each bed is affixed firmly to the floor,each being two feet six inches iu width, by six feet six inches in length. There is a space of about one foot between each. A nuin ber of stretchers are also provi led, simple in construction, yet most use ful, for the unfortunate victim of a railroad or mine accident is moved but once from the time of the injury until he is placed upon his own bed at home or in the hospital. At oue end of the oar is a commod ious cupboard,in which are kept med icines, surgical appliances, while di rectly opposite is a stationary wash stand and above it is a water cooler. At the other end of the car is located four coach seats. There are uumerous veutilating windows near the ceiling while the usual windows of a passenger coach are arrauged along the sides the entire length. The car was built under the surpervisiou of master car builder R. F. McKenna, iu the Scrantou shops The work of rendering systematized first aid to the injured in that section originated several years ago with the Lackawanna road, and the establish ment aud maintenance of the hospit al car is another step toward perfec tion of this uecessary work. The car also is furnished with the uecessary cards of instruction, so that anyoue will know what to do until the physician arrives There is a Difference. The difference between Kennedy's Lax ative Honey and Tar anil all other Cough Syrups is that it moves the bowels, thus expelling a cold from the systfin. This relaxes the nerve-tissues and by its healing effect on the throat and lungs the cough is relieved—cured entirely. Kennedy's is the original Laxative Honey and Tar and contains no opiates.

The greatest prize scheme for puzzle solvers ever offered by a newspaper is that inaugurated recently by the Sun day North Americau, of Philadelphia. For a long time that paper has been presenting each week, a puzzle for young folks, aud has been offering a long list of prizes. But the answers grew to be 60 numerous that many boys and girls were, of necessity, dis appointed. It was not possible to make a list of prizes to keep up with the increase of correct answers.

MAP CHANGES IN THE GAME LAW Copies of the new game protection law. which was approved by the gov ernor on April 22nd, have been receiv ed in Danville. The law makes whole sale changes in former legislation,and hunters will have to study it careful ly before venturing into the woods agiin. Hereafter it will be unlawful to kill hit' than one dorr in a sea son, and the reason is cut down from a month to fifteen days—from the mid dle of November to the tiist of Decem ber. It is unlawful to kill wild pig eons for the next ten years. Bears have been always on the li-t of game that could bt killed at any time, but now they are protected, and can be shot only during the period between Octo ber Ist and Mar h Ist, and anyone violating the provisions of the law is li tide to a fine of £•">() for every bear or cub killed or captured. The only ex ception is where the bear is in the act of damaging crops or injuring a hu man being. or has recently done so. About the onlv thing left on the free li-t are the following, which are specifically mentioned : The bine jay, English sparrow, king-fisher, coopers, hawk, sharp shinned hawk, goshawk, duck liawk, pigeon hawk, great horn ed owl, and the crow. People who want to rob birds' nests for scientific purposes must g't a license to do so from the state g ame commission and put. lip a bond that they will abide by the provisions of the act. A tine of $25 is provided for each and every wild pigeon killed dnring the ten years in which they aienot to be kill ed. Then w law provides that in any '•ass where nogs shall bo taken info the woods with a hunting party, an I it shall be found that they h tve as much as followed the tricks of a deer for a ditsnuce of 10) vards, it shall make the o>vner or per-ou win took the dog into the woods liabl < for the fill ). This will do wav with the practice of taking a dog to hunt birds with a deer bun ing nirtsr. The new liw al so prohibits the killing of deer with buck-shot, or anything else than a single bullet. It is unlawful to siioit cjuail at anv time when they are lunched on the ground. Only one wild turkey can be kitted in a day, and not more than four in a season. It is unlawful for a person to hunt du ks or other water fowl protected by any craft propelled by any other means than oars,pole, or hand paddle®. The open season fir game under the new law is changed.

Most excellent results in road construction have been achieved in the couple of weeks that have elapsed since the work was re i sained under George A. Atkinson. The final course of trap rock lias been applied from the Borough line to Hie Fair Ground. The topmost course is composed of two iuches of \% inch stone and oue inch of crushed rock. The road for the ahove named dis tance shows up very nicely consider ing the disadvantages under which the work i. carried forward. The tremend ous traffic over the road is a formid able obstacle both in the way of pro gress and in good results. The amount of traftio is a revelatiou to Mr. Atkin son, although it is not at all surpris ing when one reflects that the travel on the many roads of Anthony, Lime stone, Derry. Valley, Liberty and West Hemlock townships all converge upon *he single highway, leading from Maasdale into Danville. It was this heavy traffic together with natural conditions relating to the roadbed that made reconstruction under State aid necessary. So long as only the first course of cinder was applied drivers made It a point to avoid the new road bed wher ever possible,but since the *iner course of crashed rock has been in place, Mr Atkinson says,the studied effort seems to be to drive over it as much as possi ble. The result is that in the critical period between the patting on of the trap rook and the sprinkling and roll ing which follows, the road is dread fully cot op, the finer coarse of crush ed rook being for long distances mixed with coorse rock, which has taken the place of the finer material on the sur face. Mr. Atkinson «ays in building ma cadam roads it is generally customary to exclude travel altogether. That bc iug impracticable here he is simply obliged to do the best that he can. His company will be put to an expense not reckoned on in furnishing the crushed rock required to reooat the road where it i 9 repeatedly damaged by driving. The great seoret of road construction lies in the heavy aud repeated | res sure that it Is subjected to uudfr the steam roller. Mr. Rogers' roller is employed on the State Highway. As soon as the trap rock is in place ou a section of the road it is thoroughly sprinkled and the roller is run back wards and forwards over it for a d»v at a time. After a few days the pro cess is repeated anl after another in terval it is toiled again, and the pro cess is never abandoued until the finishing touches are put on the road. It is the repeated rolling together with the selection and arrangement of ma terials that imparts to the macadam road a quality that resists the action of wagon wheels,however,narrow aud is proof against ruts. On Saturday Mr. Atkinson was roll ing the finishel section of the high way for jast one-half of the width of the roadbed, where he had applied a fresh oourse of crashed rock. Iu this way he was able to seoure very good results before that part of the road was out up by the wheels. After roll ing it was observed that where wag ons drive over the surface little or no impression was made by the wheel-*. The plan of finishing the road bv half width at a time will be adopted from now on and Mr. Atkinson thinks it will prove a very good aolutiou of the difficulty. It will require some three weeks to complete the highway. Saved by Dynamite. Sometimes, a flaming city is saved by dynamiting a space that the fire can't cross. Sometimes, a cough hangs on so long, you feel as if nothing but dynamite would cure it. Z. T. Gray, of Calhoun, Ga., writes: "My wife had a very aggravated cough, which kept her awake nights. Two physi cians oould not help her; so she took Dr. King's New Discovery for Con sumption, Coughs and Colds, which eased her cough, gave her sleep, aud finally cured her.

Known by the Public Institutions Each town is known by tha public institutions it maintains more largely than by any other thing, For instance every person who knows anything about Danville will speak at once about the finely equipped public li brary and Young Men's Christian As sociation building. There has been no manufacturing enterprise nor any oil - er public improvement that has doue so much to advertise Danville as this one building referred to Milton has come to tin plaoe in its history where a new group of business men are tak ing hold of the management of the town with the determination that it shall be made a large town in the near future. The time has come for the proper housing of the Milton Yon 'g Men's Christian Association. The can vass which was begun some time ago by Mr. W. W. Anspach, the i resident of the Board of Trade, will be pushed to a finish during this month To do this work properly will require fif teen thousand dollars.

SUS TAINS EXCEPTION Now taht the river bridge is com pleted and will be thrown open to the imblic a week hence it becomes a mat ter of importance that the approach be fixed up iu good shape at the earliest possible date As a matter of fact a great deal of work remains to be done at each end b fore persons can drive on or off the bridge with anything like rase or safety. The Danville approach will have to be paved to conform with Mill strtet, of which it is a part and this expease, it is generally conceded, will have to be borne by tie county. A good de.l of work will bo involved as in addi tion to the necessary grading a retail nig wall will have to be built ou tlin west side in line with the wing wall of the bridi/p. Ou the south side.however,the prob lem is a much more complicated one and there is actual hold up. It will be recalled that the viewers appoint) d by the Court reported in favor of th.f county building ttie two long retain ing walls,leaving the township to bear the expuise of filling op. Later the Coort made a decree declaring the re taining walls io be a county improve ment, the expense of building to hi borne by the county as are couu'y bridges aud the like. The County Commissioners, how ever, filed exceptions to the viewers' report and to Ihe Judge's approval. In order to satisfy the Commissioners the court permitted the matter togo le fore the Grand Jury at the same time instructing that body that in the pn - mises the order of the court to build the wall would have to stand. The Grand .Jury, however, sustained the Commissioners' exceptions and that is the status of the case at present. How long the hold up will last is not known,but in view of the fact tl at the court has declared the approach to be a county improvement it is regaid ed as a certainty that the County Com missioners will have to build the walls. Charles Chalfant, attorney for tl e township, will move to strike off the exceptions and an effort will be ma le to get the work under way at the earl iest possible date.

Presiding Elder Amos S. Baldwin has transferred the Rev. Charles W. Brynt r from the Washingtanville clnrge to Ruckhorn, to take effect at once. The Rev. John A. Miller, of Watsontowu. a local preacher, will supply the Washingtonville charge This is according to the Presiding Eld er's original plan at the Conference, but as Mr. Bryuer's people at W'a-h ---ing'onville so strongly urged his re turn aud a possible new parsonage be ing somewhat conditioned upon his remaining. the Bishop reappointed him to that charge. Presiding Elder Bald win ha- m»du constant efforts since adjournment of Conference to provide a suitable pastor for Buckhorn charge, but has not been able to do so except by the above chauge. The Rev. Mr. Bryner is a popular and successful minister aud Buckhorn charge is very fortunate to secure iiis services. He will probably move to the parson ige at Buckhorn next week.
