VOL. 50--NO L'O lillkorUl FATHERS Our Borough Fathers have caught the Fouith of July spirit and although they can not see their way clear to en ter upon an electrical display for In dependence Day, yet they have decid ed to decorate Citv Hall in grand style. A special meeting of Council was held Saturday night, at which two proposals were read from decorators. One of these was from John II Ban gert, who proposed to decorate City Halt from the roof to the first flior with fast colors, flags and bunting,for the sum of #lO. The other was from J. H. Himmerly & Company, who pro posed to decorate the building for *ls. On motiou it was decided to decor ate City Hall something after the man ner above proposed but it was left in the hands of the Building Commit tee to wait upon the decorators and look over designs so as to get the bust effects for the mouey. Council convened at the usual hour and in a body went to A street to look over the ground with reference to the new pavement grade furnished by the Borough Engineer. At 8:30 they re turned to Couucil Chamber when on motion of Mr. Vastine it was agreed to adopt ttie new grade for pavement as soon as the Danville and Blooms burg Street Railway Company sign an agreement relating to the matter. On motiou the Secretary was instructed to notify the officers of ttie Trolley Company of Council's action. Burgess Pursi 1 was present at the meeting and called Council's attention to the rank growth of weeds on the river bank, recommending that the Street Commissioner be instructed to have them cut down. On motion the garbage cans, which airived on Thursday, werj accepted and ordered placed about the streets. One of the cans was ordered place 1 at tlie post oflice ; the distribution of the remainder was left ill the hands of the Street Commiss'oner. Council made it very plain that its object in placing the cans upon the street is to secure the enforcement of the recently enacted law,which makes it unlawful to throw papers, rubbish, banana peels, or fruit in any form up on Ihe streets. Council believes that through the medium of the Morning News, which has fully explained the act, the people are by this time pietty familiar with the new law and the in tention is to enforce it.it was clear ly stated that persons who persist iu tiiiowii»K >v< ttoUo upon tlio W 111 be arre ted and mulcted in fine. This brought up the subject of mar ket audit was the sense of some of the members that the fanners leave be hind altogether too much waste matter iu the form of cabbage leaves aud the like to be hauled away at the Bor ough's expense. Mr. Vastine said the farmers should be obliged to load all such stuff upon their wagons and take it along home. He made a motion that farmers who refuse to comply should he arrested anil made to pay a fine. The motion carried. The following members of Council wire pre sent at the meeting: Gibson, Reifsnyder, Vastine, Sweisfort, Hughes, Magill. Boyer, Diefz, Goeser and Ja cobs. Picnic on July Fourth. One of the most interesting events of July 1 tli aside from the various features of the big demonstration will be the picnic given in DeWitt's Park by the Continental Hose Company. This will no doubt be a gigantic affair attracting in addition to our own townspeople visitors hy the thou sand, all of whom have heard of the park and will want to visit the resort. Tie Continental boys are sure of the orowdsand they are now busy making preparation to entertain them. The picnic will he an all-day affair and the | ark will be open to the pub lic, there being no charge for admis sion. There v»ill be dancing all day and a game of base ball between the Dan ville A. A. and Springfield. There will also be games and races of various sort, with a grand displ of fire works in the evening. Refreshments of all kinds will be for sale on the grounds. Danville flembers Present. Suiiburv Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution was honored yes terdav by an ollicial visitation by Miss Minnie K. Mickly of Allentowu, the Vice State Regent. Members of the order from Hloomsburg, Danville, Lewisburg and Seliusgrove, were also iu Sunbury. A reception was held at the home of Mrs. Charles A. Snller on Kast Market street, from two to three o'clock yes terday afternoon,after which the party was taken for a drive about Sunbury and a visit to Fort Augusta,the historic land mark that figured so prominently iu the defense of the inhabitants of this locality during the early days when the Ked man was in power. Port Augusta now the propeTty of Mis Amelia Gross, is one of the most fain ous spots in the State, and the Daugh ters of toe A mer icarl Revolution have already starte I a movement to pur chase it. The visiting ladies left for home on the five o'clock train and Sunbury Cliaptt r returned to the home of Mrs Sidler, wheie an elaborate dinner was served in their honor. The man who can catch the biggest bass may not be a popular hero.but he "outs some ice" iu the community POLISH IIIIBV 1:11 V WAS Millie The safe iu tlie olfice of the Polish Lithuaniau Brewery WHS cranked Sat ' urday morning. The job was a very I clean one indicating that professionals might have had a hand in it,although the cracksmon were awkwar I enough to overlook the snag sum of one hundred dollars, escaping with the trifle of sixteen dollars. When the day engineer appeared at the brewery early Saturday morning he was surprised to see all the shutters of the office closed with the exception of one. which was unusual, as the shatters are usually open He men tioned the circumstance to the night engineer, who recalled that a report hard to account for hail been heard in the vicinity of the brewery about 2 o'clock. An investigation showed that the office had been entered by thieves, that the safe had been blown open and rifled. In the window that remained open a pane of glass had been broken out. This enabled the burglars to reach through and unfasten the window so that the sash could ha raised. Once inside they had closed the shutters to conceal their movements. The drawers including the money drawer containing sixteen dollars was missing, but among the contents left behind was a large wallet containing otn hundred dollars. The saf<», which bears the name of "Barnes," is a total wreck. The door was not only torn from the safe but it was shattered to pieces, the tough steel plate on the ooter side bein* rent by the force of the explosion like that much paper. The cracksmen resorted to an old trick of twisfirg off the handle, which left an aperture iu which the explosive was poured. Some powerful instru ment had been applied to the knob, which give them sullicient purchase. The tough steel roil to which the knob w is attached was twisted several times around before it. gave way. The point at which it part (1 was at the inside of the door, the portion remaining in tact being twisted into tint semblance of an ao«er. What kind of explosive was used is not known, but it was most, likely nitro glycerine. The force of the ex plosion sent the door back against the wall with such force as to splinter the wainscoting. On the premises were found a large nail cutter,a brace and bit,which Sat Uiday were identified as property stol ou ouiu iim oi umr*utt« Price, a carpenter liviug uear the P. &. R. station. There is no clue what ever leading to the burglars, who there is some reasou to helieve were persons familiar with movements about the brewery. On Friday aftemom Kmll Malum wski, general manager, came down from Wilkesharre and delivered a sum of money over to S. J. Czechowicz, the book keeper at the brewer}. The hundred dollars that thu burglars left behind were of this money. Its pres ervation was due to a trivial circum stance. In locking the safe Friday evening Mr. Czechovicz at tlie last moment bethought ln_iself of a hun dred dollars which lie had in a large wallet in a side pocket. Without stop ping to remove the cash and place it in the money drawer be placed wallet, money and all in a pigeon hole im mediately below the money drawer. In tho harry and excitement it seems rlie burglars did not go any further in their search for money than the drawer devoted to cash, wliieh coutained six teen dollars,their conclusion no doubt bei i)K that the bin wallet, carelessly rammed into the pigeon hole contain ed papers only. Prom the position that it lay in after the robbers lett it was plain that it win picked up and handled by the avaricious cracksmen little dreaming of the handsome hunch of swag that lay right under their noses. During Saturday morni'ig the boxes belonging to the safe, which had been carried oft, were found at the culvert over Blizzard's run near the I). L. & SV. station. The money, or course was missing, hut other contents of tho boxes, among which were valuable papers, so far as could be determined were all accounted for on Saturday- Fright Years in Hawaii.

DANVILLE. PA.. THURSDAY liKTi. 'Till! ROUTE OF PARADE The Oitizens' Fourth of July Com mittee held a regular meeting last night, the following being present: Ralph Kisuer, Esq., Burgess W. G. Fursel, W. V. Oglesby, Esq., Jacob Boyer, Edward Purpur and Johnny Moyer. Dr. Jtio. Sweisfort, Chief Marshal of the parade, was also pres ent. Some changes in the route of parade wore discussed and it was decided to extend the route to Nassau street. The route of parade~now decided upon is as follows: Forming on North Mill street the parade will move up Bloom street t3 Ash. out Ash to (/enter, down Center to Ferry, out Ferry to Hemlock,down Hemlock to Mill, up Mill to Market, up Market to Nassau, down Nassau to Front, down Front to Mill aud count ermarch. The parade will start, at 11 o'clock. Chief Marshal Sweisfort is now busy selecting his aids, of which twenty odd will be needed. Up to the present theie has been nothing to indicate that there will bo a single float iu the parade, which is quite a disappointment to the Com mittee, which expected great things from the business men in the way of floats. It is not too late yet and the business people are earnestly request ed to think the matter over to se6 whether they will not find it to their interest to exhibit their different lines of goods in the parade. As a means of advertising, such a float could not be excelled, while it wo Id add oue feat ure to the parade aud thus contribute to the day's success. The Committee finds that it is still about oue hundred dollars short of what is needed to liquidate the full oost of the demonstration as planned. It i 3 believed that there are still a good many people that have not been asked for subscriptions,who'«hould be willing to contribute something to help the proposition along. Our two policemen are authorized to receive contributions and all those from now on who desire to give anything can hand tlie money to the officers. It is hoped that there will lie some addi tional contributions. It is the sense of the Committee that there should at least be one address on the Fourth of July audit was decided | last evening that an iuvitation be ex tended to Ex Senator B. K. Focht to be present as the orator of the day. Senator Focht was father of the bridge V'ilt t>y virtae r>t which we h<*'"« ♦'>«» handsome iron structure over the riv er.the completion ot which along with the Fourth of July is to be celebrated (ilorious Fourth at Danville. From present indications the big time at Danville, that is scheduled to take place on the Fourth of July, will be like the second edition of a big cir cus—larger, better, more magnificent than ever before. At least that is the promise that in held forth hy the Dauvilleites.aud the visitor who goas there ou the day of the celebration of Independence, is guaranteed a day of festival and fun that will not soon be forgotten. Although it is a week away from the birthday anniversary of the Independence of this glorious United States, the county seat towu of Mon tour, is commencing to don its holiday attire an i ere the day arrives it prom ises to vie in brilliancy even with the garments worn by Uncle Sam and Miss Liberty, themselves. A decorating company, from Read ing, the one that did the display work for Williamsport, at the time that the recent conclave was held there, is al ready on the ground and has contracts for decorating many of the business places. The committee of arrangements that has this big Danville celebration in charge, has spared no trouble nor ex pense in its efforts to have this day prove a successful one and the com mittee claims that it has been most successful in its efforts. In the mean time, the whole country round is sav ing its best duds and anxiously await ing the arrival of the eventful day Hloomsburg Daily. Bad Fall From Cherry Tree. John Cook, the thirteen-year old son of Millard F. Cook, Upper Mulbeuy street, took a fearful plunge from the top of a tall cherry tree yesterday af ternoon and sustained a broken arm, a broken leg and other injuries. The tree is ou the Cook premises. How the accident occurred is not ex aotly known. The boy was among tin top brauches of the tree and it is sup posed that one of the small limbs broke under his weight or bent iif such a manner as to cause liim to slip off. At all events tie took a drop of soui't tweuty live feet to the ground. In Ins fall he struck the lower limbs and in this way he received seveial cuts ami bruises in addition to the more serious injury sustained when he struck the ground. Me was terribly shocked by the fall, although he was not rendered aucon seious. It was evident that lie was set iously injured : lie was carried into the house and Dr. Curry was called. An examination revealed that hi left thigh was fractured aud that •• i - right arm was broken just above t' » wrist. Iti each instance the fraetnre was oomplete. Several scalp wocu Is, not serious in their nature, were sus tained iu the fall. Dr. Curry set the broken bones and dressod the other injuries,after which last evening the boy was resting easily. !

The Washington Hose House on East Market street, which for a 11112 time has been iu mod of repairs, is to be practically rebuilt and when finished will be a very fine home for the com pany, comparing favorably with the best fire houses in tiiis section. The Washington Hose House is not an old building but it has developed many defects, due principally to bad ventilation. Owing to dampness the paper will not adhere to the wall, the interior is damp aud mouldy aud wholly at variance with good hygiene. At the last meeting of Conncil, We 1 y Hell ibaugli and Lewis Wray, representing the tire company appear ed before Council explaining the de fects of the buitling and asking that repairs lie authorized. The matter was referred to the Baildiug Committee by Council and this body has decided up on the following system of repairs: On the interior the partition iu the hallway 011 the lirst floor up to where the stairway begius is to be removed. The panel forming the upper half of the front door is to be removed and in its plan 1* a glass is to be inserted. The transom above ttie door is to be cut loose and placed on hinge'.

The principal busi ness on hand was the election of teach ers aud janitors for the ensuing year. The positions wire all filled with the exception of ihe Principalship of the High School. It wis the sense of the Board that owing to the short interim since Professor Carey's withdtawal be came known opportunity had not been afforded for a sufficient number of ap plicants fo present themselves. On motion,therefore,the High School was left open uutil such time as the Presi dent shall see fit to call a special meet ing for the purpose of electing a teach er. JL'nere were several applications for the High School,the most of which came iu at the last moment anil afford ed no opportunity for investigation. John W.

The rubbish cans recently purchased by Council were installed upon the street by E. S. Miller yesterday. The Street Commissioner was under no special orders as to placing the cans but merely used his judgment in the matter. The galvanized receptacles seem to be placed at abou? the proper intervals aim help to give our busy and neatly paved street a thoroughly up-to-date appearance. Here and there a dweller along the street seems to have a wrong idea of the use of the cans; they complain that the receptacles are too far away from their residences and altogether seem to he under the impression that the cans are designed to take care of all the waste aud rubbish that ac cumulates about the dwellings or stores whereas the fact is that the receptacles are intended only for Moating papers and other trash iu the hands of per sons moving about the street. Stores aud dwellings will lie obliged to take care of their own rubbish. The misconception as to the use of the cans has given rise to the view that the dozen installed are not suffi cient and that Council should purchase another dozen cans The appearance of the stieet, would be spilled if a largei nuiubjr were installed. While it is 110 doubt a fact that a larger num ber would tie made good use of it is also true that one dozen will prove sufficient. The cans on Mill street are distributed iu about the same propor tion as ill Hloomsburg, where the ex perimeut his been on trial fur some time past and found to accomplish the object very nicely. Joseph Lewis Buried Today. The fuueral of Joseph Lewis, who died at the Mary M. Hacker Hospital Monday evening, will take place from the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Lewis.

I'll LEWIS lltllSHEll TO hi: 1111 Joseph Lewis, fit Roaring Crrek, formerly of South Danville, fell from a car on which he was riding in the lower end of Riverside Monday af ternoon and was so terribly injured that he died a few hours later. It was on a west bound freight near the Gulick siding that the accident occurred Lewis while sitting on the side of a loaded car, was seized with an attack of dizziness and falling from the fast moving train was thrown be neath the wheels. The young man had left his home at Little Roaring Creek with the inten tion of visiting his brother who lives at Lebanon, and had come to Soutii Danville earlier in the day. He con tinued bis journey during the after noon by boarding the west-bound freight that left the station at 3:40. Lewis was acquainted with several of the trainmen aud one of these was seated with him on the side of the car. The traiumau remarking that he felt drowsy laid back and went to sleep, lie was soon awakened by the jam ming of the cars as the train slowed down aud stopped. Looking up he missed Lewis and kuew at once that something had befallen him. After the accident Lewis was still conscious aud able to talk. He said that he wa. subject to attacks of diz ziness and that one of these spells came upon him as he sat on the edge of the car. He felt himself falling but was unable to save himself aud was thrown beneath the wheels. The train crew knew nothing of the sad accident un til the caboose had passed the spot where Lewis fell, and then Flagman Still, who was standing on the rear platform, saw him lying beside the tracks. Measures wera takeu at once to stop the flow of blood, and it was decided to remove the unfortuuate young man to the Mary Packer Hospital, Sun bury.on the 4:31 train. He sank rapid, ly on the train and was hardly con scious affer his arrival at the hospital. His light leg was severed above the knee and his right hand cut. He also suffered internal injuries which to gether with the shock and loss ot blood caused his death. The unfortunate man >»a- 25 years of age and unmarried He is sur vive I by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Lewis, of Lit:!■• Roating Creek, two brothers George and Frank Lewi* and a sister.

JOB PRINTING The office of the AMERICAN K ing furnished with a large nsortmfcnt of job letter and fancy type and job material generally, the Publisher an nounces lo the public that he is prcjjared at all times to ex cute in the neatest manner. Jon PRINTING Ofall Kinds and Description CONTHACT Fllll HOSPITAL WOHK Contrart for building two of the five temporary structures at the Hospital for the In«ane provided for by a speci al appropriation of .*55,000, have been awarded to Henderson & Compary of York. The contract price is |22 p 000 for each of the buildings. These temporary structures grew out of the visit of the Appropriations Com mittee of the Legislature to Danville last winter and were designed to re lieve overcrowding, which had occas ioned a gre'it deal of harsh criticism through the Slate. The buildings were to be five in number, one story high, two hundred feet long and thirty six feet wide. The buildings were to be fire proof and from a hygienic point of view they were to be models. The hospital trustees do not approve of the temporary buildings as designa ted by the appropriations committee, but not caring to incur criticism they decided to act upon the suggestions BO far as to authorize the erection of two of the buildings which seem the best adapted to the hospital needs. The ~ite chosen for the temporary structures is at the rear of the main building,one on the male side and one on the finale side of the institution. The roof and sides will be of iron; the wall on the inside will be studded ami plastered. Underneath will be a cellar. Work 011 the temporary struc tures will begin immediately in order that they speedily accomplish their object, which is to relieve overcrowd ing. When the new hospital at Allen town is completed the Danville In stitution will be relieved of a number of its patients and overcrowding will cease to be factor. When this occurs it is the object of the Trustees to put the temporary buildings to other use. It is thought that the structures would ma»e very good pavilions for the use of the patients. In building therefore they will be so constructed that they can be very easily remodeled into structures of that sort. Clean Up the Old Canal. Many persons fin l ! it difficult to be lieve that our Borough Council,which all along has shown itself so thorough ly wide awake and progressive, intends to let the bottom of the canal in its present re ky and nauseating condi tion lie duriug the Fourth of July. It was thought that the matter would be attended to at the last momeut aud the old waterway cleaned up at least in the viciuiiv of Mill street culvert, whence for a square east and west the old ditch presents its very worst' ap pearance. Hut Council at its special meeting Saturday night failed to take any action on the canal, although it decided to decorate City Hall for the Fourth in an appropriate manner. The throngs on Mil! street next Tues day will no doubt gaze with admiration 011 Old City Hall under its artistic dress of flags and like decorations,but what their emotions will be when they gaze down upon the dirty canal with its mess of garbage and old cans is quite another matter. People are in nlined to think that the oinlssiou was not intended Saturday night and that Council will yet decide to clean up at least a poition of the canal for the Fourth! A little work would go a great way toward making thiugs presentable. Two or three men in a day could rake □ p and cart away the unsightly ac cumulation ot rubbish which lines the bauks and the bottom, after which a drain could be opened winch would carry otf the worst of the stagnant wat er. The next thing done should be to in force the Borough ordinance as well as the new rubbish law and prevent people from using the old canal as a place for getting rid of their garbage, allies and other odds aud ends which accumulate about the premises. Farmers Face a Difficulty. The farmers who attend the curb stone market by this time have beeu fully informed of the action taken by council requiring them to attend on next Monday morning instead of the morning following, July 4th., wheD Mill street will be too much crowded to admit of the wagons. rite farmer* do not dispute the wis dom of changing market day on this occasion,but they do not see how they can arrange to bring a supply ot pro duce into town on Monday morning. Picking cherries and prepariug garden truck involves a good deal of work, which can not bo done on Saturday if the goods are to be fresh aud salable. Therefore, unless they work on Sun day, the farmers declare they will be unable to have a loail of produce ready for Monday nioining.2f.They take the vie x tTiat they should be permitted to conn into tosvn Monday afternoon and occupy their places along the Mill street curb. A good many are not with out hope that Council will take this view nf the matter and to change the hour of market from morning to afternoon, lu view of the crowds corn ing to Danville the vendors in market expect many big oiders lor the Fourth of July which w ill have to be tilled on Monday. Alorrell—Rieck. M Clara M. Kieck and Walter K. Mom 11, both of this city,were united in holy wedlock yesterday. The nuptial knot was tied by Rev. Dr. M. L.
