ELECTRICAL DISPLAY
FOR JULY FOURTH
There is a sentiment abroad, in
which one or wore of the Oouncilineii
share, that the Borough should take
some part in the preparations for tlie
demonstration on Fourth of July.
This, it is held, is eminently prop r,
as the generally accepted idea is that
the demonstration is gotten up as uincli
to signalize the completion of munici
pal improvements as to celebrate the
Fourth of July.
No lavish expenditure of pnbli c
mouey is required. The Borough ill
owning its own electrio light plant is
verv fortunately situated and could
contribute a verv novel and stiiking
feature to the day's decorations with
comparatively small cost. It is sug
gested that the Borough make an elec
trical display. An arch or structure
of some other sort erected at the canal
culvert, Mill street,and dwcorated with
the stars and stripes and vari-colored
electric light bulbs seems to meet the
popular idea. This would be especial
ly titling, as the electric light employ
ed would come from the Borough's
own plant, one of the municipal im
provements being celebrated in the
days demonstration.
Of the various structures that might
suggest themselves the arch would
probably be the most appropriate for
the spot. It is recalled that the ma
terial used in the arch erected by the
Friendship Fire Company in one of
Danville's big days of the past was
carefully stored away bv the owners
with a view of Gliding use for it again
in the future. The Friendship Fire
Company is always progressive and
full of public spirit and there is no
doubt but that an arrangement could
be effected whereby the Borough would
be permitted to use the arch, which
could be very easily reconstructed.
It is hoped that our Borough Fath
ers will take kindly to the suggestion
aud see their way clear to thus assist
iu the decorations. Whatever is done,
however, will have to be done quick
ly, as barely two weeks intervene be
tween the present and Independence
Day.
New Safety Appliance.
New safety regulations concerning
the transportation and handling of ex
plosives were put into effect on the
Feniisylvania Railroad Monday as the
result of the careful investigation of
the snbject since the big wreck at
South Harrisburg
These new rules are contained in
general notice No 174 A, which sup
ersedes the regulations which have
been iu force since September 25,1890.
Importance of the new rules becomes
doubly great since they probably will
he takeu as the basis lor recommenda
tions to the railroads of the country,
which a special committee of the Am
erican Railway Association will make
at the fall convention
Chief amoug the changes in old me
thods aie: First, that explosives shall
be carried only on fast freight trains
of not more than thirty cars, two
thirds of which shall b>i under air
brakes. Second, that no high explos
ives, containing more than sixty p»-r
cent of nitroglycerine except gelatin
dynamite, will be carried, and, third,
that high explosives must be packed
iu strong wood boxes made of lumber
not less than a half inch HI thickness
Explosives are putin six classes,
with special rules governing the load
iug, marking and transportation of
each, packages being limited to one
hundred pounds, so ihtt, should the
need arise,one man could handle them.
Carloads of explosives will be le
ceivad only on Mondays and Thurs
days, less than car load lots any day
except Saturday. In making up trains,
only one car loaded with explosives
aud marked accordingly, will he put
in each train. It shall be placed iti tie
middle of the train with a box car at
each end, but in no case closer to the
locomotive than the distance of ten
cars.
Iu case of a wreck, the first duty of
employes is to prevent tire. Before
clearing up a wreck explosives are to
be carefully removed to a place of saft
ty. Only steel underframc box cars,
equipped with air brakes and iu tirst
class condition, so that no sparks can
get inside, can be used.
DANVILLE LOST
FIRST IIMIE
The local team lost tlie first name of
the series with the Cuban Giants Mon
ilav afternoon at DeWitt's I'ark. Tlie
game was hotly contested from the
start ami as hotli pitchers were in
warm weather shape the hits came
slow, and runs still slower. Sampson
for the visitors allowed hut two hits
and Met 'loud held the dark wonders
down to eight hits win li sevei :ii t inn -
resulted in runs.
The audience was cjmposed of poo-
I U> who know how the game should
tin played, and the applause was lih
eral for both teams. The visitors,
always on the alert, gathere I in sev
eral which looked like safe ones, and
the home team seemed anxious to ox
eel their opponents in thrilling plays.
Logan, always in the gam *, knock
ed one dow.i which everybody thought
was a safe hit, thtowing his man out
at tirst after which the applause was
terrific. Too much cannot he said of
the way all the players handled the
hall in yesterday's game and the fact
was again demonstrated that the locals
always acquit themselves creditably
w hen playing against a high grade
club.
The crowd was smaller than was ex
pected but with favorable w.tither to
day the attendance w ill no doubt he
much larger.

Pursuant to the action of Council
City Clerk Patton yesterday placed an
order for one dozen garbage cans with
a Philadelphia firm. The cans are ex
P'Cted to arrive in a fnw days and
will no doubt be installed bySaturdav
night.
It is very essential that the public
should understand fully to what uses
the garbage cans are to be put. It is
not the intention that they are to be
come receptacles for any of the waste
and off all left over from the curb
stone market, which is gathered up
and hauled away bv men especially
employed for that ta'k. They are to
be used for other articles of diverse
sorts such as circulars, newspapers,
wrappers, peauut shells, banana peels,
&c , which scatteieil about, help to
make the streets look very untidy. It
has been observed that even when the
paved street has been thoroughly clean
ed oil Satutday evening by Sunday
morning it presents a very dirty ap
pearence clue to the thoughtlessness of
people in throwing everything they
want to get rid of out upon the street
It is necessary that people educate
themselves up to the use of the garbage
can, as they will lie given no choice
in the matter and will be compelled to
make use of them as directed. 'i he
law recently enacted by the Legislat
ure imposes a penalty for throwing
articles of the sort enumerated above
upon the street. Kven nails, sciews
and the like, which often injure horses'
feet, come in under the act and must
lie kept oft tint street
Whilo enforcing the act the Borough
is not obliged to procure garbage cans ;
| the measure has been merely adopted
! by Council in order to bring about
habits of tidiness among tl.e | eople
and assist in the observance of the
law.
Fourth of July Warning.
i The able statistician of the Chicago
i Tribune tabulates the Fourth of July
casualties and fire losses. In ten year.-
1,100 persons werHjkilh d ami f»,.V.i:i m-
I jured, more or less seriously, on In
dependence dav in ten cities The tire
losses reached the snug sum of -
000.
This is | roof that Americans are
patriotic, but can we not prove our
patriotism in some less costly and less
deadly way?
Much of the shooting and nio-t of
the self-destruction is by children.
With them patriotism doesn't count si
much as having a jolly goor! time.
Most of them do not understand ex
cept in the vaguest way tlie historic
significance of the day, and their en
thusiasm is less of a tribute to Amer
ica than to China. It was the lattei
country that invented fire crackers
Is it not worthy of consideration
that if we do not soon have Fourth
of July reform we shall soon come to
know it as the Slaughter of the Innoc
ents!'
After all, we ought not to kill more
people in celebrating the war of In
dependence than w re billed in tin

FRANK ROCKER'S
RAO INJURY
Fiank lUieher, of Hunhury, son of
Samuel Puolier, of Kiverside, a brake
initii in the employ of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company, Monday
passed through the second railroad
cident in a year, again .sustaining in
jurii h of a very serious nature.
Frank, who is an extra brakeman,
Monday morning was assigned to duty
in tlic U K Yard. About 15 o'clock
in tlie afternoon he fell under the
wheels, two cars |>nssing over him
His lelt foot was crush'd, his collar
bone was broken and he was lacerated
and braised all over his bodv.
He was taken to the Mary M fuck
er Hospital for treatment. Miss Klizt
betli Hurber.sister of ttie injured man.
came up to South Danville froiu Smi
liury on the 5:50 train. About C> :M
o'clock she called op the ho-pital by
'phone to learn the particulars as to
her brother's condition.
Tli' amputation of the l«ft foot had
then already been performed,the mem
ber being taken oft at the instep. It
was stat id by the hospital authorities
that Frank's coudition was critical al
though there was no immediate dang
er ot any serious developments. He
was conscious, although as above stat
ed his collar bone was broken and he
was nut and broisoil from Ilea l to foot.
There i- also the probability of inter
nal injuries, which may not develop
mil il later
Frank had an exceedingly close call
at Georgetown hw- than a year ago,
being hurled from the top of a house
car. by the breaking of an air hose,
and sustaining injuries as the result
of which he hovered between life and
death for some days.

PAVEMENT AT
THE COURT HOUSE
The matter of sidewalk repairs at
the Court Mouse was taken lip at tho
meeting of tlm County Commissioners
on Saturday. Repairs will iiave to he
made to conform with llie relocation
ot the curb as has boen require 1 all
along Mill street and the work will
have to be done promptly, too, it any
effort i» to be made to comply with
the order sent out by the Borough
Council that pavements bo repaired
he to ie the Fourth of July.
No definite action was taken by the
County Commissioners. Many persons
think tlmie should he a concrete pave
ment in front of the Court House,along
with massive concrete steps leading to
the entrance. Since a general tearing
up is necessary there seems to he no
reason why the work should not he
doue l ightly and improvements install
ed that will add to the appearance of
the building. The Court House archi
te.cturallr is reallv a fine building and
claim is made that it is worthy of a
better pavemeut thau the wholly out
of-date patchwork of flagstones which
covers th sidewalk at present.
The expense of concrete work would
he materially reduced by the proceeds
realized troiu the sale of the flag
stones and the stones used in the con
struction of the steps at. present, the
last named especially being valuable.

THE LAMj
I ho Government is entailing a very
h- aw expense in establishing ami
maintaining rural free delivery of our
mails, ami it is proving such a con
venience to the people, that very few
who have experienced its advantages
would he willing to do without it
Hat the Government expects to he
reimbursed tor its great outlay, hv an
increased amount of mail to he earn
ed,on which postage is to he paid, and
it exp-cts everybody to play fair in
this matt) r It is, therefore, required
that all mail matter dropped into a
bos must have the requisto amount of
postage stamps on it. or a sufficient
amount of money in the hnx to pay
the postage, and anything found in a
box, which is not thus stamped or has
not enough cash with it to pay the
postage, is to he lifted hv the carrier
and brought to the post office where it
svill he "held for postage" according
to law.
We have published this fact before,
but thorn are seme who. it seems,have
not learned the fact or else think thev
can slip in a letter to a friend by drop
| ping it into bis letter box, their line
of reasoning probably being that as
j the lett» r need not be handled by any
| government official, there need bo no
! postage paid on it. Hut those boxes
are erected under the protecting care
of government and thus form part of
the post office department, although
j paid for hv the Individual, and, there
fore, nothing can IM permitted to pass
through them without postage being
' paid thereon.
Carriers, who are expected to be ob
liging and accommodating, have no
choice in the matter, as their instruc
tions are imperative,to lilt every piece
of mailable matter found in a box, for
which there is not provision for post
age, and if the postage is not forth
coming in a specified time the missive
is sent to the Dead Letter Office.
Li t everybody play fair, therefore,
with the government, and there will
lie no ■ ;iuse for complaint if intended
notes dropped into letter boxes fail to

INN MIS
ANNUAL PICNIC
The picnic season WHS opeut IL Sat
urday by tl<e annual outing of the Iron
Moulders' Union ol Danville ami late
bad decreed that, the first picnic of
the season in point of attendance,
weather conditions and in full measure
of harmless enjoyment should lie a
well rounded and unqualified sua ess.
Tl • stov works ill all departments was
shut down, all the employes taking a
day oft. The greater number probably
joined the moulders at DeWitt's Park.
The day was quite warm, which made
the cool breezes which at all times
play through the Park all the mora en
joyable. The entire day,although there
were fully eight huudred persons on
the grounds, was marked with the
utter absence of accident or occur
rence of any soit to mar the pleasure.
The local lodge of moulders, Mime
seventy stiong, headed by the Wash
ington drum corps,about 10:30 o'clock
marched to the park in a body. A
general invitation had been tendered to
the public aud the crowd soon follow
ed. About 110011 the Park presented a
pretty scene. Kach family with speci
al fiiends invited, or two or more
families grouped together occupied the
innumerable tables scattered about the
grove. It was evident from the
scores of well filled baskets taken to
the Park and by the time spent around
the tables that dinner was by no means
the least important feature of the day
In the afternoon dancing began,
which continued until late Saturday
evening, the Iron Moulders and th ir
friends being the first to enjoy the
large dancing pavilion. In addition to
the dancing the swings and other
similar devices for entertaining the
younger element were kept moving.
Next to dancing, however, the merry
go-round was the attraction and its
capacity, big as it is,was sorely taxed
to accommodate the waiting crowd.
The game of base ball scheduled be
tween the Danville Club and Wilkes-
Harre could not be pulled off owing to
the non-arrival of the Wilkes-Barre
team. A game of base ball was play
el between the Danville A A and tne
Stove Moulders' team. In order to add
to the interest of the game the
two battelies were exchanged. Edgar
and McCloud of the Danville A. A.
went to the Stove Moulders and Walk
er and Mint/.ir of the Stove Works
played with the A. A. The latter
team won out on a small margin
Pen Times Easier.
It is ten times easier to cure cougliF,
croup, whooping-cough and all lung
and bronchial affections when the
bowels are open. Kennedy's Laxative
Honey and Tar is the original Laxa

bowels, and expels all cold from the
system, cuts the phlegm, cures all
coughs and strengthens weak lunus.

School Athletics.
The subject of school athletics is at
tracting much attention of late, both
in Pennsylvania and New York, since
it has been found that the health of
the public school children in cities is
detective far beyond anything the in
spectors had anticipated. Much of this
weakness is traced to lack of fresh air
and facilities for active exercise, and
so pressing is the need for improving
the physical development of the pupils
that in New York a Public School
Athletic League was formed of promi
nent business men to interest the boys
in athletics.
So successful was this league that
just the other day the Hoard of Ksti
mates authorized $300,000 for the pur
chase of athletic fields for school boys.
More than :'O,OOO hoys have entered
this year in the preliminary touuds of
the Spring contests,aud as no pupil is
allowed to compete unless he is up to
the standard in conduct and studies,
the moral aud intellictnal good effect
of school athletics is quite as marked
as the physical.
Recently at the Friends' yearly meet
ing in Philadelphia, this question was
widely discussed. President Swain,
of Swartbmore College, was most eui
pliatio in nis favor of sports,declaring
"Every boy and girl must have the
playground. Experience of twenty five
years with the yonng convinces me
that the athletic field is a necessity."
Another speaker stated that fifty per
cent, of all bank clerks die of consump
tion before middle age because the
majority of them have failed to build
up their bodies by athletic exercise in
youth.
Kcw, nowadays, decry the expense
of providing moans to insure this
building up of the body. Eloquently,
opportunities for exercise are furnish

ME INSTALLED
Some thirty 'phonos are already in
stalled oil the rural system between
Strawberry Kidge, .lerseylowu, White
Hall and Exchange, and although con
nection is not yet established with the
United system the subscribers HIM en
abled to tall; with each otbor over the
wide territory embraced by the above
named towns.
At present the subscribers are fa
miliarizing themselves with the nse of
their 'phones. They have a good bit
to learn, as they are all at preseut on
the same pair of wires and tie ir call-,
a combination of shorts ami longs, as
may be imagined, are a little confus
ing. It wi'l come all right in a shoit
time, however, and the occupants of
any particular boose will distinguish
their own call readily euough fiom
the number of others that pass over
the same pair of wires.
In a very shoit time all tie arrange
ments will be perfected whereby the
rural 'phone can connect with tin
United system and residents of tie'
county as far ott as Exchange can talk
to Danville. Hloomsburg and other
points. This will be a luxury, indeed,
appreciated alike by the residents of
Dauville and those of the northern end
of the county, who have always hepn
j without the advantages of elegraph
or telephone communication.
The full advantages when connect ion
is made were well illustrated by an
lucideiit which occurred on the rural
sytsem the other night. A valuable
horse belonging to J. A. Essick, was
taken very sick and the services of a
skillful veterinarian weie wanted i in -
mediately. Mr. Kssick's first impulse
was to send some one post haste to
Danville or Blootusluirg for a veteri
narian, but lie happended to think of
his new telephone and he quickly devis
ed a for reaching Hloomsburg
Among the subscribers of the rural
'phone at Jersey town is Dr. Shuman,
w ho, also has a United 'phone in the
bouse, lie called up the physician who
in compliance with Mr. Essick's re
quest went to the other 'phone and
called up the Bloomsbnrg veterinary.
The latter left instantly for Mr. Es
sick's and notwithstanding the long
distance arrived there bi-tc re daylight
and administered to the sick
which recovere I. As an object lesson
the above incidi nt appeals very strong
ly to the farmers and none aie inclin
ed to regret that they have installed
a 'phone.
