A CLEVER AND CONGENIAL IMF The Haleigl* N. 0., "Post" of Sou day tlie llrli iust. pleasantly alluded to a congenial group of strangers in that city among whom will be recog uized ouo of our townsmen, W. A Sechler. The "group" are in Raleigh as wit nesses ill the trial of J. B Howell in the Federal Court for the fraudulent use of the United States Mails ou ord ering goods ou the credit of Joues and Powell of Raleigh. The Danville Stove and Manufactur ing Company was one of the linns that Powell tried to victimize. Powell carried ou his business from Norfolk,writing his letters and orders for goods there under Raleigh date line aud sending them to the latter city by hand to be mailed. Orders were sent ou the credit of "Jones & Po well," Raleigh, to houses in many parts of the country and the goods shipped to Haleigli. Some of the re plies to letters and shipments came iu to the hands of the real Raleigh firm of Jones & Powell and they brought the matter to the atteution of the au thorities, the result being the arrest of Powell jost about the time that he had gotten a man here to reship the goods to various other points as they arrived from those who were shipping them to Raleigh to a tiim having a high Dunn and Hradstreet rating Several car loads of goods came be fore the manipulation was stopped, including car loads of stoves, furniture, canued goods aud a great variety ot stock. The "Haleigh Post" says: A clever and congenial group of wit nesses who are here for the trial of J. B. Powell in the Federal court this week is coaiposed of Mr. William .1 H. Gulch, prominent stove anil tin ware manufacturer; Mr. W. H. Bish op, representing Fred. Walpeit& Co., curled hair and bristles manufacturers, aud David M Pimes of M. Pitues & Co..parlor faiuiture manufacturers, all of Baltimore, and W. A. Sechler, of the Danville, Penii Stove Manu facturing Co. Each of these gentlemen represent firms who received orders or inquiries from Powell as Joues & Po well of Raleigh for goods *nd are im portant witnesses for the prosecution This is the third trip they have made to Raleigh for the trial of Powell aud each time there has been a continu ance. Some of them seem a little rest less and exasperated over the prospect for another continuance at this term.

The barriers erected to keep travel off the new pavement on Mill street were removed last night both from in front of the Montour House aud at Mill aud Front streets aud Mill street is now open over the entire stretch of new pavement extending ftoiu Center street to the river bridge Viewed from a point near Maikel street.the paved thorough;are north and south presents a very nice appearance and woold scarcely be recognized as the Mill street of oue brief y> ar ago. The paved street aud the river bridge, together, approximating three fourths of a mite, affords a most delightful drive, which will be enjoyed by a large number of people who possess horses and carriages. Hest of all the new pavement is a fine piece of work, which w ill oom pare favorably with street pavements in any of our neighboring cities. A gratifying oircomstauce connected with it is the fact that the work was contracted fur aud done by a Danville man, showing that our town not july has the public spirit but also among her tradesmen the skill and responsibility needed to carry out her enterprises. 1 Kill BE LIGHTED I# A KEEK Our magnificent river bridge in a week's time will be illuminated by electricity. The Standard Electric Light Company ot this city has heeii awarded the contract for wiring and lighting the bridge by the Danville and Sun bury Street Railway Company, which has obligated its.lt to light the bridge as a part of the price it, pays for the privilege ot laying its Hacks on the structure The Standard Eleotiio Light Com pany has already began the work of wiring the bridge aud George M. West, Superintendent of the Company, yes terday stated, that by Saturday night ar Monday at the furthest the biidge will be lit up by electricity. There are in all sixteen ornamental lamp posts, eight on either sidewalk, each of which is supplied with a place for two electric light bulbs. Mr. West says that the lights— thirty-two in number-will be of sixteen candle power, which ought to light up the bridge very nicely. Tlns wire will he brought lip through the hollow posts so that the bulbs only will be visible. The Standard Electric Light Company yesterday removed its wires.temporarily suspended overhead in the roadway, to their permanent position on the top of the bridge. The wires are carried from the top of the KO-foot pole recently erected at the north-east corner of Front and Mill streets to six pin arms placed in posi tion on the top of the iron work Two j wiies were strung yesterday; others will he added as needed.

Secretary Purpur reported that the ! total amount of money subscribed thus ; far is $778. The Celebration Committee is *ime wtiat discouraged over the slim re spouse at rehearsals, especially as it has gone to the expense to purchase music for a chorus on nearly two hun dred voices.

Mill street, Danville, Pa 1 ML oralis AT THE CANAL i'he foul and stagnant condition of the canal above and immediately be low the Mill street culvert is causing muoh unfavorable comment about town and the wonder is expressed that the Board of Health does not take ac tion in the matter. The general un sightliness of the bottom of the canal at that point has been alluded to in these columns,but during the la.-t few days conditions have become much ag gravated aud under the lengthening days foul odors ha\e begun to arise that at times make it unpleasant for persons passing over the culvert. It is truo the I). L. & W. Kail road Company has taken up the matter and promises co operation with the Bor ougli to abate the drainage nuisance, hut if the remedy is to lie in piping and filling up the canal, relief is still a good way off in the future. What is needed is immediate relief. Other seasons a drain was opened in the middle of the canal, which reliev ed matters somewhat by preventing stagnation. Why the present state of things should be tolerated is hard to ac count for? The Borough at a heavy ex pense built a culvert; it is massive and architecturally a feature to be proud of. But spanning as it does au open sewer and its base a dumping ground for rubbish of all sorts to what a de plorable extent it must suffer from as sociation ? The Citizen*' Celebration Commit tee is much exercised about this eye sore in the very center of town and is anxious that the nuisance be wiped out before the Fourth of July. The Committee will probably tike some action to bring the matter to toe at tention to the proper authorities. North American Prints Approach The "North American" Monday ' contained a first class cut of the river ; bridge taiien from the South side for the purpose of showing the steep ap i proach, which it bring) out to perfec j tiou Under the cut is the following [line: "Perpendicular approach to new river bridge invented by North -1 umberlaud County Commissioners."

The Borough Council, which recent ly issued an order requiring all who were draining sewage in Blizzard's Run to connect with the Borough sew er in thirty days, is much gratified with the ready response from those persons and the general disposition that is manifested to comply with the order.. Blizzard's Hun is now practically restored to its original purity. One by one the small sewers were connected with the Borough sewer uutil only the slaughter houses remained. Henry Divel and Joseph Smith have now se cured permits to connect and it will be only a few days until even the slaughter houses are out of tlie way. The pollution of Mahoning Creek still goes on. To divert sewage from this stream, especially as relates to the properties on West Mahoning stieet, is not such an easy matter. To conueot with the public sewer the West Mahoning street people would be obliged to lay their pipe through un der the creek, which is a sacrifice that the Borough does not ask of them. Before they can comply with Coun cil's request it will be necessary for them to follow the prescribed course and petition for sewer extention along West Mahoning street, A sewer is much needed in that part of town, which lies low, audit would not be surprising if a petition were heard fiom in that quarter before long.

An opportunity has been ottered the coal producers of the country to co operate with the Uuited States Geolo gical Survey in its work of testing the coals and lignites of the United States. This work was begun at the World's Pair Grounds at St. Louis, daring the Exposition, and will he continued along tne lines laid down at that time. The Survey is desirous of securing from operators and others interested iu the problems of fuel consumption, an expression of opinion as to wheth er they desire to co-operate iu this work. Offers of coal for testing pur poses should be directed to the Direct or of tho United States Gological Sur vey, Washington, D. C. It is not possible to promise at the present time that all offers of coal will be accepted, but the plan is to make the investigation as complete as pra cticable, distributing the work as im ' partially as possible over the entire i country. The distribution of the work will depend largely upon the replies received to the circular which tho Sur vey is now sen ling out to coal operat ! ors and upon the present aud future | development ot the coal and lignite deposits of the several States. The tests will be made for the pur ! pose of determining the fuel values of the different coals and lignites aud the } most economical methods for their 1 utilization. Arrangements have been made with the manufacturers of the equipment used dining the Exposition ' to have practically all of this testing machinery left at the disposition of the Government.

Probably the most important experi iqent is that with Sail Jose scale in orchards. This is to be conducted in Bedford county by K. F. Lee, trained iu tho work at the Agriculture Depart ment of Pennsylvania State College. Numerous experiments have already been made in Bedford, which affords as good a field as any other in the State. Mr. Lee is a resident of Bed ford. Second comes the experiments iu nurseries, the view being to wipe out the pests before the young trees are set out iu orchards. Experiments on all kinds of vegeta bles and truck crops will be made iu the vicinity of Harrisburg.and will be in charge of I). K. McMillan, field as sistant to the State Zoologist. Special investigation of the life his tories of iusects and of insects injur ious to grasses will constitute the fourth section of the series. W. H. Wolf, a State College graduate,will be in charge of this work. Supervision of all of the experiments is in the hands'of Professor H. A. Sur face, State Zoologist, Secretary of Agriculture Critehtield having turned the whole matter over to the Division of Zoology. Work on all four lines will begin Tuesday. A Fight Against Noise. A citizeu of Wilmington sued the trolley company because its cars made too much noise. The jury awarded him six cents damages. This, we-protest, is lusullicient to reward the citizen for his endeavor to crush a soulless corporation When a street car makes a noise aud a public spirited effort to abate it is made, the gentleman who valiautly assumes the role of the people's proxy really de serves more than six cents. A more appropriate verdiot would have been : "We find that the plaintiff so closely resemblfs thirty ceuts that we hereby award him that amount." There is space for farther successful litigation along this line. We expect that some day another public-spirited citizen will move for noiseless wheels, a noiseless signal gong, a noiseless register and a noiseless conduotor. There's plenty of room for improve ment,or at least, plenty of opportunity for anti-noise litigation. Hut, for some unexplained reason, the public only laughs at the public spirited prosecutor.

Simmers, a Philadelphia & Heading Coal and Iron Policeman who was one of President Roosevelt's com panions during his early ranching days tells the following story of the Roose veltian nerve: * "We were on the spring rcMnd up near the Big Box Elder Kiver," says Simmers," when Lord Alexander North joined our party for a hunting expedi tion. The titled Johnny Bull was a six foot, rosy complexioned. proud, and atheletic looking fellow. I tell you he soon won many friends. He was a clever boxer and had made the b. J st men in camp quit before his gloves. After much persuasion the boys induced 'Teddy' to put on the gloves with Lord North. Hoosevelt's gymnastic training at Harvard came in very usefully at this point. The Englishman forced the fighting, and the boys just cheered themselves hoarse as the gladiators clashed. We had formed a circle on the bank of the riv er, and kept the open space well clear ed. Now Roosevelt seemed to have the advantage, again the sturdy English man ; then they clinohed, aud both fell. But the cow boy's agility finally won out, and at the end of the third round. Lord North, breathless and ex hausted, quit, saying, "I've haJ enough. 'You're all right!' " "He also excelled as a marksman, ' says Simmers. "One day when the boys were at target practice, 'Teddy' appeared to look on. " 'Here Roosevelt,' said one of the crowd, 'tiy your luc*.' 'Drawing his 45 calibre Colt revolv er from his belt, lie stepped off thirty paces and tired at a oircular piece of tin, the size ot a dollar. He struck it. Henceforth 'Teddy' was more iesj»ect ed.

The County Commissioners have been less fortunate iu dispo>ing of the ferry boat, with cable aud other fixtures, which uow as the bridge is completed ceases to be a factor. The ferry lies idle on the shore at its usual landing place and there is no probability that it will ever be needed here again.

THE TWEES HOLD MEETING -4- Tlie trustees of the |lloispital for the Insane ln-lil a meeting at tlie institu tion on Saturday. Ntjjarly a full hoard was present as follow,*: W. L. Goug er, H. M. Scl.oeh ami liou. Alexander Hillmeyer of this county; Howard Lyon, of llughesville, W F Hhay, of VV'atsontowu ;L)r. Shoemaker,of Wiikes barre; Dr H. H Detweiler, of Will iamsport and Hon. M. H. Kulp,of Sha inokiu. | Tlie trustees had jbxpeoted to take action ou the creation of the new buildings at the Hospital,but were uu able to do so. Tlie pjlans and specifica tions for tlie Light land Power plaut wire not yet completed. This was quite a disappointment, as it is desir ed to construct the plant yet this sum mer and there is no ,time to spare. Tlie Hoard will reconvene in a f«*w days to pass upon the [dans,if they aie ready. The trustees also expected to act up on the temporary buildings, five in number, for which $85,000 was ap propriated by the last Legislature. But three bids hail been received,however, and each of these was above the ap propriation. Action will be taken oa the temporary buildings when the Board meets again. The trustees Saturday contracted with the New York Jewel Filtration Company for the completion of the filter system installed at the Hospital over a year ago. But two tubs weie installed when the plant was built, as that was as far as the appropriation would go. The capacity is mine 200,- 000 gallons per day, which is less than needed in face of certain emergencies or to meet the demands as the institu tion is enlarged. In building, tlie plant was made large enough to hold three tubs. The cost of the third tub now to be installed is covered by the speci al appropriation of $2,600 made by the last legislature. The filter plaut at the Hospital has now been in operation for one year and has been giving most ex cellent satisfaction. The Board of Trustees looked over the new barn on Saturday The build lug is now rapidly approaching com pletion. The slatiug is not quite finish ed on the roof anil the floors are not all laid, but there is no doubt but that the structure will be ready for the season's crops. The Trustees are much pleased with the barn. None but tlie best of mater ial has been used and it is very finely finished. Danger of tire hereafter will be reduced to a minimum, as the new barn willTTe lit up by electric light and there will he no occasion for the carrving of either lantern or matches about the building.
