Rockafeller's turn seems to have ootne adore people are defending him now than ever before in his career. Fair play is an element in the change of teotiment. There are a great many persons in Danville who insist upou throwing the weeds and dead grass they take fiom their gardens,on the alleys in the rear of their lots. This is uot only a very dirty habit but It is clearly a violation of the law. The practice will proba bly be persisted in until the officers mske a general raid upou the offend ers, and theu there will l»e a howl go up, bot it wou't do a bit of good.

P., soiled and begrimed from Ink ing and participating in mimic battle Saturday evening arrived home from eucampmeut oil the 5:50 Pennsylvania train, which was over half an hour late. The boys were bronzed, a trifle weary probably, hot in the very best of spirits*. Whatever the effect may have been on some of the other com panies hiking ami playing war through out with alt the strenuousness of ac tion implied was exactly to the liking of the hardy boys ot Company F and there was probably not one,but would have been glad to have turned around and repeated the company's participa tion in the game of war. Captain Gearhart Saturday night spoke of his ineu in terms of highest praia \ It is the best company, he said, tLat he evor took to encamp ment. Aside from their powers of en durance and familiarity with their duties their conduct was most ex emplary and during the eutire week not oik! had done anythiug to cause tlx' least annoyance or embarrassment Speaking of endurance it is a great deal to say for the boys of Company F t during the wearisome march to Beuaire aud back as well as in the battle ou the third day not one was affected by the fatigue or the intense beat. The march in all was one of some thirty miles aud soldiers of the other companies fell by the wayside like Hies. To make the contrast all the more remarkable Company F was on provost guard all Sunday night. It was taken out at 4 :30 o'clock Sunday afternoon ; at 6r30 o'clock Monday morning it was taken oft provost duty and thrown right into the inarch. Under the cir cumstances upon arriving at Hellaire the company was naturally a little fatigued, but it showed no signs of wilting and when the troops entered the village there were none in higher spirits or sang more lustily than Com pany F. The march was a tough experience for probably the majority of the bri gade, but it was a good object lesson to show the stuff that the boys are made of and what they could be call ed upon to endure in case of neces sity. Speaking for our company it was oue of the most enjoyable features of camp. One of the most interesting features of the war game was the mimic battle on Wednesday. Conipauy F captured a squad and a full company belonging to the Thirteenth Regiment and had plenty of exciting experiences. The putting up aud taking down of the dog tents was also an experience new to the Guard. The inspection Friday did not prove as trying an ordeal an was expected. It was found Impracticable to fully inspect the Guard at encampment, as the time nousumed would not have been lees than two days. It was decid ed, therefore, merely to look over the Guard, only inspecting the pieces and the meu's appearance. The in spection was conducted by Colonel Sweeny, luspector General Gover nor Peonypacker and others were with him. Although by no mems as close as the hoys expected, yet the inspection proved a pretty trying experience to the guardsmen, who were over-awed by the presence of the Governor and the other high officials. Nevertheless there is not one of the hoys hut who has brought home with him the kind liest recollections of the Chief Kxecu tive. As the Governor moved along he spoke very encouragingly to the boys and did everything to make them feel at ease. He seemed to pay particular attention to the bayonet, seeing that it was placet in the scabbard rightlv. Oil several occasions he took the bay onet out himself, replacing it as it ought to have been. Charles Before Oglesby Charles Haltaglia, the will known Italian padrone, yesterday was ar raigned before Justice of the Peace Oglesby. The complainant in the case was Andrew Schatz, who accused Hat taglia of obtaining goods under false pretense. Last October,according to the infor mat ion. liattagliu bought shoes of Scbatz to the value of TO, repre senting that the trolley company would pay for them, taking the amount from his pay. The trolley company refused to pay for the shoes and it in alleged that the defendant knew they would not, as there wan no arrangement be tween the two to that effect. Justice Oglesby held Hattaglia un der SIOO hail tor further hearing, hut the defendant later settled the hill in full. Puddler Struck by Switcher. Thoma* Sheehau, a puddler employ ed at the K>-ading Iron Works, was struck hy a P &It switcher yester day morning and was slightly injured. A short distance north of Oenter street crossing the man had sat down on the edge of the rail road ties to rest and in that position fell asleep. Some time afterward the switch en gine came rolling along without mak ing much noise an I before it could be stopped struck the man throwing him into the gutter The crew at once picked him up and took him to his home on Little Ash street Fortunately lie was not badly injured. He sustained a blow along side the bead, the effect of which soon wore off He stated yesterday that lie expected to woik last night,. li.Uimii !i.\.\lE The second game of base ball of the Danville-Hloomsburg series was play ed at DeWitt's I'ark Saturday after noon, and was one ot the most excit ing and hotly contested games seen on the local diamond in some time. Horn sides were determined to win and it was anybody's game until the last Blootnsburg player was called out and the score stood 6-5 in tavor of Dan ville. A large contingent of rooters accom panied the visiting team to this city, who throughout tho game vied with the local enthusiasts in cheering and encouraging tfie players. The game, while intensely exciting, was not well played by either team —a number of costly errors and misplays being made on both sides during the nine innings. Hut this detraoted from the pleasure of the occasion not at all, each error seeming to arouse more interest in the struggle. rJanville started the scoring in the second inning with two men out, La wrence was presented with a pass to first McCloud singled and Cosh went to first on balls. With the bases full Clayherger's pretty liner over second base easily brought in two runs and left two men on bases. The side was retired, however, on an easy fly to center. Three hits and a base on balls iu the fourth netted another tally for the locals. In the fifth inning Hlooinshurg ral lied and made her first showing on the tally sheet. With two men out the visitors made connection with Money's curves for three singles and a base on errors, which put a 8 inside of their goose egg and tied the score. In the the seventh inning Dan ville again took the lead Captain derrick walked, and then in quick succession Archie's timely two- bag ger and singles from Logan and Deeu biought in 3 ruus, the score standing 6-3 iu favor ot Danville. This ended Danville's scoiing. The visitors got one run in the seventh and one in the eighth. During their last time at bat they tried hard to get one man over the home plate, needing but a single run to tie the score. Three hits they made in this last inning but it avail ed them nothing. One caught at sec ond, one struck out and the last with a pop fly to Yerrick ended the strug gle with Danville one point in the lead. The score : DANVILLE. K. H. O A. E.

Sunday School will he h< Id at the usual hour. There will be Sunday School aud reg ular services on the following Sun day # The midsummer sun is certainly do ing a business that indicates a deter mination to make good for previous short comings. DANVILLE. PA.. TIIUTtNIIAY JULY 20. I'.MC,. HIE HEARING WAS POSTPONED The hearing of the preliminary in junction against the Danville & Suu bury Street Railway Company hi which M. F. Gulick, South Danville, is the plaintiff, which was to have tak en place at Sun bury " Monday was postponed until next Monday. The preliminary injunction which was granted last Wednesday, restrains the trolley company from laying its track in front of a propeity owned by the plaintiff on Hazleton Avenue with out obtaining his consent. An early hearing was looked forward to with the hope that the matter might lie finally disposed of. Hy agreement of both parties the in junction will stand until next Monday, when Judge Savidge will hold a liual hearing giving the street car company time to file an answer. The injunction then will be either dissolved or made permanent. The plaintiff contends that the Penn sylvania Railroad lies iu tho center of Hazleton Avenue and that the half of the street embracing the whole width between the Pennsylvania tracks and the property line belongs to Gulick and ou these grounds be seeks tor» - strain the trolley compauy from hu ld ing. The question to be decided is where the center line of the street shall be drawn whether the Pennsylvania roads bed lies in the street, or outside of it. (jood Crop Promise. Almost from the time of seeding or planting, until the harvesting, esti mates are made as to the p obability of the yield, at first gauging by tha area planted as compared to former years,the conditions favoring germina tion, aud then the rain, drouth, heat or cold figures from week to week. The latest government estimate, a couple days ago, is favoiable to most crops. The frequent showers, and too abundant moisture in some sections interfering seriously with hit vesting and cultivation, but, the heat aud moisture, on the other hand have been beneficial to other crops. The e:>ti mates favor bumper crop.-*,though there is time enough for great depreciation before the products are garnered. The indicated harvest of corii,2,ti. r il. 110,000 bushels, is a greater crop than ever was harvested, while the promised wheat, 705,52<>,000 bushels, falls be hind only the gigantic yield of 1901. Oats.ry#, barley and potatoes are well up to the bumper standard. There is no deficency anywhere, and meteor ological conditions since the reports closed have been favorable to the maintenance of the promise. There is prosperity in every liue and figure of the estimates, and the railroads will have difficulty in moeting t!ie deinmds of transportation. Home Destroyed by Lightning. During the electrical shower which passed over this city Fridav night lightning struck and burned to the ground the house occupied by aged John Pensyl and his wife, situated at the foot of the hill along the road leading southward from Union Uorner. Mr. Pensyl is Ht> years of age and i deaf and blind. He lived alone with his wife, who is <>s years of age. The couple were alone in the building, a 2,'ij story structure,when it was t-truck by the electric fluid. The building immediately took lire and burned rapidly. It was with diffi culty that Mrs. Pensyl got her bus baud out through the smoke. The aged couple in their pauic stricken state were unable to save any of their fur niture. It was a few minutes before even the uearest neighbor r< alized what nad occurred, and by the time they reached the burning building the house was enveloped in H-tines. With their help a few articles were sareri o/i the first floor, but beyuii i th.-se, furniture, clothing and all, were ile stroyed with the house. There was no insurance. The house burned was a mile or so from Elysburg and the file wa-i visible from this city. Danville vs. Cuban Giants. The game at DeWitt's i'ark today between the local club and the Cuhau Giants will be very interesting, in as I much as each team has won two game?, j That these teams are evenly matched, j may be Beeu by the scores made in the last four games played,which we give below. The first gauie, which wn a liJ inning contest, resulted, Ouban Giants, 3, Danville, 2. The second game, Ouban Giants, 0; Danville, 2. Tlie third game, Cuban Giants, 8; Danville, 1, and the last game, Cuban Giauts, 1 ; Danville, So it will he seen that in the total four games or -10 full innings by each side, only 15 runs were scored. The visitors will be out for a scalp today, hut as on former occasions the home team expects to be in it at the finish. Oootts, who operated so suc cessfully against the Cubans on their last visit, will pitch for Danville to day. There will be a larj*e crowd pies nut to cheer the locals onto yictorv. Everybody should attend. Mechanicsville Band Festival. A festival under the auspices (if the Meohanicsville Haii'l will he held Sat urday evening, July at the Hand Hall, Mechanicsville.

At the first drug store visited by the chihl, the clerk gave Iter the carholi; acid without hesitancy, hut for rea sons in acordance with the rules of the trade, refused her the alcohol. The little girl, entering a second store, forgot what she had already se cured and again asked tor catholic acid,which was readily tuinished her.

WILL INSPECT STREET PAVEMENT The pavement on Mill street, which was completed -ome weeks ;iko, hut which has not yet been taken off the ; contractor's bands, wilt be given its final inspection today p epaiatory to I settling for the work. The Streets and j Bridges Committee of Council, Bor ough Engineer George F. Ke. fer, 1). J. Kogers, contractor, E. S. Miller, | Street ('omtnissioner as the different parties interested will participate in the inspection, which will begin at H o'clock this morning. The report will be submitted to Council al its regular meeting Friday night I lie pavement on Mill street is gen icialy regarded as a very good job, and | it is not thought that a close in spec j fion w ill briny any material defects to j ight. Here and there a tirick or so is broken or shows signs of crumbling. These of ccurse will have to lie replac ed by the contractor, who is responsi ble for the condition of the street and must keep it in re; air for a period of two years. The bricks themselves are warranted and will lie replaced by tho tirm of whom they were purchased. The condition of the pavement at the canal culvert where the bricks seem to have sunken slightly is not taken as a defect. It is just what was ex pected at that po:nt owing to the na ture ot the matt rial—loose earth—used in filling up the culvert The brick here were not grluted, the intention being to take up the pavement and re lay it after the ground had settled. The settling lias been less than was I expected after the Iap;o of so many months. The pavement will not be disturbad at present hut at some sub sequent period it will bo taken up hy the contractor and relai.l. Potatoes Will he Scarce. | Farmers predict that potatoes will bring a dollar per hush. I I:y fall. It is already apparent that the crop will be a failure. Add to ilns tiie fact that only a limited acreage was planted and we have the conditions that con tribute to scarcity and consequent high price. Potatoes were a glut on the niarki t last year. As spring came on the farm ers found that they still had a large proportion of last year's crop on hand, which they were obliged to sell at prices lower than for years past Un der the circumstances it was not strange that in order to avoid a sur plus the farmers were a unit in plant ing a smaller acreage. This mlgtit. have been all right It nothing had happened and the potatoes had thrived as during recent years. It appears,however, from reports receiv ed from various quarters that a blight has fallen upon the potato crop and the yiel 1 may be scarcely half a one. In our own county the crop looks especially had. In many fields the potato vines are dying or are already dead. The most experienced farmers are puzzled to find a cause for the blight. Potatoes grew nicely until a week or so ago when they suddenly turned black and began to droop and die. Of course at that point all growth and development of the tubers stop ped. Many of the hills are found with out any salable potatoes at all, while nowhere in the lields are they large in size or numerous. New Uniforms Next Year. Tia; 11 lie dejoralions tor tin; Nation al Guard, given for proficiency in tar net i ractice have been received. The regimental matches will be held in Sunbury on August :i, 4 and 5, un der the direction of Captain God ctiarles. Ahout tilteeu medals and prizes will he awarded to those mak ing the highest score. Ktoru those competing in the matches will he chosen the regimental team, to repre sent. the lit 11 at the annual state mafchns at Mt. Gretna, late in the summer.

The days of the khtki uniform are past. Next year the men will receive suits of a darker color, like those of the officers, which will soil less easily than khaki, though wearing just as well. Since the National Guard is now a reserve of the United States liegnlar Arinv, they will equipped entiiely throughout like the regular army.

KSTAISLISII El) IX 185.1 SHOWER PASSED AROUND NORTH About 11 o'clock yesterday forenoon while onr citizens were all employed some pursuing their daily vocations and others, of the leisure class, busy with the difficult task of kipping cool ■ a storm suddenly materialized. It made its presence known by sudden peals of thunder,following each other iu quick succession,which had quite a startling effect. for a few moments it seemed to threaten Danville and then with omin ous liiultenngs of thunder it passed around northward, just as the shower ot the day before passed around by the South. Judging by the manifestations it was a violent electrical shower. Peo ple were heard to remark that we would hear of much damage wrought in tho path of the storm and as is shown by the sequence no one was mistaken. Hlooinshurg seemed to get the brnut of the storm. The rain fell in torrents and the s,>wers were inadequate to car ry off the surface water and as a re sult it went coursing down through the middle of the streets as though a miniature flood had broken loose. For about half an hour the downpour con tinued. Accompanying the rain was a heavy fall of hail, which lasted fif teen mi.iuies. Some of the hailstones were as large as walnuts and iu the path of the storm the leaves of the growing coru were cut into ribbons and tomato stalks and other vegetables were beaten into the ground. During the storm there was flash af ter flash of vivid lightning accompani ed at the same i/istaut with peals of deafeuing thunder. The cupola on the residence of Counc ilman .T. Warner Mifflin, West Main street, Bloomsbnrg, was struck by lightning. The large window glass was shattered and the sash splintered, the electrio fluid passing outside through the window ledge, whioh was also badly split. Fortunately it did not set any of the woodwork on fire. At the residence of Dr. J. S. John, near the Mifflin resilience the light ning struck the telephone wires and following the circuit reached the tele phone on the inside putting it out of commission. At Mainville Isaiah Levan had just completed harvesting his summer's crops and the barn was full to over flowing. During the storm the barn was struck and burned to the ground. Two horses and a cow were iu the tinltiling when it was struck. Quo of the horses along with the cow was res cued, hut the other horse perished iu the fiie. All the other contents were destroyed. The los 9is #1,500. Tiiere was a small insurance. The toof of the Bloom Poor House reservoir was also struck by lightning dnring the storm aud badly damaged. A tenant house at Berwick, owned by George E. Sponsler, was also badly damaged by lightning yesterday. Tha electric fluid struck the chimney,shat tering it and passed down onto the tirst floor, where a number of pictures were torn from their fastenings and a large plate glass mirror broken. The damage is at least #2OO. For Cruelty to Animals. PHOENIXVILLE. July 19 —"lt is a shame, the manner in which the horses of Battery C have been abused. We will most certainly institute pro ceedings against the responsible per sons," declared Superintendent Thom as Carlisle, of the Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals, yester day, after he had viewed a dozen horses which will be unable to work for weeks as the result of their ill use while in the care of the soldiers at Mount Gretna.

There are sixteen horses in the town under the care of a veterinary surgeon, being treated for injuries. Superintendent Carlisle said : "There I will he some warrants sworn out for | the arrests of the men who rode these animals before 1 leave Plioenixville, i and upon my return to Philadelphia 1 i will consult the society's counsel and j sin if there is not a way in which the J ollieers of the battery or regiment can not be held liable." "If possible I will swear out a war rant for the arrest of Brigadier Gen | eral Gobin, who was in charge of the camp, and who, to my mind, is to be ; censured for not being informed ot the con lition of the animals in the camp.

Former Councilmau JamfsF. Dough erty. whose father was jlaudlord ot the Dougherty House,now!

Stauding by the new sejwer aud al most iu front of his hotjd yesterday Mr. Dougherty pointed obt the sites of the various land markSjas he knew them when a boy. Each ,of the land marks was a saloon and itj is worthy of note that there were , just six of them on Northumberland street be tween Mill street and W. iL. Gouger'a Ware House, a distance of some sixty yards. This was prior to 1863 and Mr. Dougherty says that at that time there were just 134 licensed places in Dan ville. The cix saloons as Mr. Dough erty recalls them along with their proprietors were as follows: Mr. Dougherty's staud—James Ro land. Site of Mr. Gouger's warehouse- Andrew Foley.

Cleaver's store stands there was a saloon in the basement with the entrance on the Northumber land street side. Here drink wa* dis pensed by Andrew Belden, who kept a dance hall up stairs. The thirsty individual in those days was not obliged togo very far in or der to refresh himself. In the case of the six saloons on Northumberland street they were mostly next door or opposite each other, which was pretty crowded <iuarters even for a town of this size that had 124 licensed places The Dougherty House, Spruce and Mill streets, was built by Charles Dougherty in 1554 and was a popular and widely known hostelry. P. 0 Dougherty, father of James F., took possession of the place in 1859 and re mained in charge till 18(>ti.
