USED SALVATION ARMY TACTICS A unique method of getting heaters to receive the Word was resorted to Sunday evening at the village of Al media. Rev. Stover of the Evangelical church couldn't get the congregation to come to him so he went to the con gregation. For several months interest in church work in the Evangelical church of Ai med la had been ou the decline aud several Sundays when the good miu ister Rev. Stover repaired to his church to preach the Gospel lie would find the pews empty. He was resourceful, however,aud noticed that a largo con gregation of meu and boys were al ways gathered ou a Sunday evening at the corner of the Euglehart wagon shop, near the church. He determin ed to have hearers enough even though he had togo where they were. Gn Sunday the miuister with his choir stopped at the street corner in stead of going onto thy church and commenced the service. A large num ber of people were gathered together sittiug on the steps aud ou piles of lumber and ou old wagons. The choir saug several selections,the miuister prayed aud preached a very instructive aad interesting sermon At the close he announced that services would again be held at the same time aud place in two weeks from Sunday eveniug. It was a strange procedure but it worked and Rev. Stover had a cougregation. flid-Summer Seaside Trips.

Th i State Highway Dapartment insists that the road is comiileted that it hi- heeu inspected and approv ed by the proper authorities The Mahoning township supervisors and the County Commissioners insist that the road has not been finished a<-oord ing to the specifications and refuse to pay their share of the hill, which is ft 108 49 more than the contract price, until a full explanation is given to show where the additional eleven hun dred and odd dollars went to. The public will be glad to learn the true status of the State Highway The road in the opinion of many people does not come up to tlie|specifieations. They were curious to know how it would be regarded by the inspectors lepresentmg the State and up to the preseut have beeu expecting the ap pearance of these officials. It will be news indeed to these people to learn that the inspectors have come and gone. When these offioials performed their duty and how their visit to Dan ville happened to oscape notice prob ably has but little to do with this storv In June 28th last R. S. Ammerman, attorney for Mahoning township, in re ply to the communication fioin the State presenting the bill wrote the Highway Department that payment would be made as soou as the State highway was completed according to plans and specifications and asked for an explanation as to an item of $346.70 relating to inspection which appeared on the bill. Mr. Aiiimerman stated that the township supervisors would be glad togo over the road with the inspectors at any time. A reply from the State Highway de partment on Jnne 29th. brought the surprising intelligence that the road had alretdy been formally inspected by the department and that the item relating to inspection covered the sal ary pit id the inspector whom the De partment employed during the prog ress of the work aud who was present every day from the time fie was ap pointed until the work was complet ed. The communication stated that there was no reason why the County Commissioners or township Supervis ors should kuow when the inspectors won hi be on baud and hence were not notified. To this communication on June 30, Aitoruey Ammertnan replied: "As Mahoning township and Montour County have obligated themselves to pay a proportionate share of the cost of the public impiovement in question the supervisors and County Commis sioner* reserve to themselves the right of kuowiug where the people's money is going to aud the consideration in every detail for the money they pay ; they are answerable to their respec tive boards of auditors whose duty it is to confine them closely to the provis lOUS of the contract the law authorised them to enter into. We have no con fidence iu the inspector whom you suggest as beiug present. My clients insist upon such an explanation of all the circumstances as will justify them iu nuking this expenditure of their money. Tho township's contract calls for an expenditure of 11127.69 ; you ask us to pay 11379.84 and the only reason you assign is that the work has been found satisfactory to your department ; this is insufficient reason to warrant us iu the expenditure of this money at this time." To this came a reply from the State Highway Department, dated July Bth, which jarred the Supervisors, some wtiat, being not only exceedingly dis courteous iu tone but showing that in the Highway Department not a very high estimate is placed upon the skill and experience of township Sup ervisors as roadmakers. The com munication stated: "As to the char acter of the road I think it question able if any one of several novices in road building are justified in setting their opinion against that of the rep resentative of this department, who made the final inspection of the road. The amount of presumption which such an action shows is very similar to that which would be shown incase some of your township supervisors should assume to know more about law than you know." This then is tho status of affairs p<r t,lining to the State Highway. The township Supervisors insist that they are able to determine whether or not the plans and specifications have been complied with and allege that in sev eral important details these have not been lived up to. They also hold that they are entitled to an itemized state in nt which will fully account for the extra eleven hundred dollars or so that has beeu tacked on The contract price for the road was sfi7fifi. 15.

The quarrel started in a row of honses on East Railroad street, Centralia, about i.iue o'clock, Saturday evening. Italians lived in one end of the row ; Charles Fetterniau hi the middle, and Polanders at the other em 1 It had been pay day Saturday and Nicholas Grandronno started a with John Brucouey, a Polish family, the latter alleging that Nicholas was attempting to force an entrance into his house. Joe Scouniouer sided in with Nicholas as did Charlie Miller and Touie Grand ronno. while Charlie Fetterniau and several of tlio Polanders sided in with Bmconey Nothing more than lists were used until Joe Grandronno pull ed a gun on Charles Fetterniau, shoot ing him in the shoulder. Information was then lodged against Joe and the crowd by Bruconey and the warrants placed in the hands of Constables Langdon and Cain, who secured John Conway and Mike Grant to accompany them. With them was a foreigner to identify the guilty men When the constables and their as sistants entered the house they found about twenty foreigners there hut not the men they wanted. Gain, Conway and Grant started upstairs with the light while Langdon remained down stairs in the dark. A minute later he heard a shot out • Hide, and rushing out he found Joe Grandronuo and the Polander who had accompanied them to identify tlie guilty parties facing each other. .loe had been in hiding under the porch and it was for him that Cain and the assistants were upstairs. His idea had been undoubtedly to pick nt! the Po lander and the constables as they left the house, but he failed because the Polander had not entered the house. Who fired the tirst shot is not known, but the general expression of opinion is that Joe had fired first. When Con stable Langdon appeared they had been blazing at each other,and the Poland er mistaking him for •» foreigner,turn ed his gun on him Langdon quickly yelled to him, and fearing that if he shot bis assailants still m the house would fare ill, Langdon kept his tire in reserve, but stood gun in hand. (Juiek as a flash the Polander tinn ed his gun on Joe aud firing twice felled him in his tracks, with a bullet in his head and one through his neck. Seeing what lie had done, the Polaud er fled and has not yet been captured. The victim was to the Min ers' Hospital, where an operation was performed yesterday morning, aud information from the hospital is to the effect that the victim's condition was a trifle more favorable yesterday. Nicholas Grandronuo, who started the first fracas, has escaped, but Joe Scounionder, who assisted Nicholas, Charles Miller and Tony Grandronuo were arrested, the latter two securing bail, which the first named failed to securp, aud because of that is now in the Columbia County jail SHAKE IT Off.

J S. SINKS Mill,lf INJIIKIiIt Jeremiah S. Sanders,of Wilkesharre, the well-known newspaper uian and former resident ot Dtnville, was very badly hurt in an automobile accident on Sunday evening. Mr Sanders was enjoying a ride in an automobile along with his son-in law, and daughter, Dr. Morgan Weller and wife. They attempted to cross the tracks of the Pennsylvania Kailroad at South Wilkesbarre and failing to see the approach of a freight train, which was running backward, they were struck, the forward car cutting the automobile in two. That they were not all killed is truly miraculous. The following particulars of the ac cident are taken from the "Wilkes barre Leader'': "A coal train was backing up aud it struck the machine squarely in the middle breaking it into kindling wood and throwing out the occupants. Mr, Sanders was dragged over a hundred feet and when picked up was unconsc lons. His leg was fractured below the knee and he was removed to Mercy hospital. Dr. and Mrs. Weller were also badly shaken up. The former had his hack biuised. All are still at the hospital. Dr Weller stated last evening that they were taking a pleasure trip around the city in an automobile of the Dur yoa make. Mrs. Weller was in the front seat while Dr. Weller and Mr. Sanders occupied the rear. They went down Carey avenue and over Division street to Harney ami were on their way tip Harney street. As they neared the Pennsylvania railroad tracks there, a coal train was backing down the tracks at a fair rate of speed. The engine of the train evidently was doing some switching in the yards. He said there was a brakemau on the back end of the car who mo* turned to the occupants to cross the tracks. The doctor then started the machine slowly across the tracks, but tlu; train had gained on them quite rapidly. lie saw then that it was impossible to reverse the machine so he pulled the lever back to the last speed with the intention of darting past the train, but in another instant there was a crash and the machine was burled down the tracks. As soon as the train struck the auto Mrs. Weller jumped hut this was im possible for Dr. Weller and Mr. Sand ers as they were hemmed in. Dr. Wel ler later escaped but Mr. Sandets was dragged along the track in the auto The train WHS finally brought to a stop and those who saw th« accident rushed down the tracks. The pieces of the automobile, which was com pletely smashed, were strewn all over the tracks and Mr. Sanders was pick ed up unconscious. All thought that he had been killed but after he was removed to Nagle's drug store he re vived and it was then ascertained that his right leg below the knee was bad ly broken, hut that, besides a gash on his forehead, he was not otherwise in jured. Considering that he is 72 years of age his escape was miraculous." Jeremiah S. Sanders, the injured man, is a brother of Thomas Saudera, of this city. He is a brother-in-law of S. J. Welliver and of Mrs. Charles N. Ammerman, of Riverside. He was born in Danville and many years ago was publisher and editor of the "Dan ville lutelligencer " He has beeu Identities with several influential newspapers in this part of the State, but at present is living retired.

Keefer with his crew of work men while excavating for the new sewer at the tear of Mill street Mon day morning laid hare a curious relic of earlier Danville in the form of a vault bnilt of solid masonry some ten feet below the surface. The trench for the pipe, which at that point is some thirteen leet deep was dug through the Lanhach lot and is being extended to the D. L & W track. Just outside the fence and some twenty feet from the track the work men came to the old vault All that, portion of town has been filled up with cinder, ashes and like material to a depth of seven to ten feet, the made ground resting npon a deposit ot soft day. The surprise of the work men, who bad found digging easy,up on coming upon the solid masonry can easily be imagined. An investigation showed that the vault was of stone, a perfect arch in form and of first-class workmanship. It was completely hidden below the natural deposit of clay, which is proof that it existed in the remote day be fore there was any building in that part of town The trench cuts right through the old vault. The latter is found to be some olght feet long by seven feet in diameter. Whether anything ol any sort remained in the vault or not could not bo determined yesterday, as the workmen hardly appreciating the im portance of their find in breaking through the walls threw the stones and dirt right and left in the old vault, half filling it up. The queer discovery aroused a good deal of interest yesterday and the spot was visited by a good many people. The faot was cleaily established that the vault belonged to a by-gone gen eration and it is exceedingly doubtful whether there are any in Danville even among our octogenarians who can re call anything relating to the vault. David Shelhart yesterday stated that, he has been located on that spot for over fifty years and never heard any thing of the old vault. He began there in 1850, which was a year [at least be fore Christian Lauhach erected the building which at present abuts on the railroad,although the railroad was not built until many years afterward. Mr. Shelhart is familiar with all the developments in that locality and es pecially with all the improvements made on the Lauhach property and he is convinced that the vault was main tained by a former generation. Hoyd Gearhart speut his boyhood on that spot ; his memory goes back as far as Mr Shelhart's and lie is unable to recall anything that would suggest the presence of a vault. There was a woollen mill which stood somewhere near that spot in the early days of the town, but whether the old vault was an appurtenance ot the factory is uot easy to determine. There is something exceeding Iv in teresting about the strange vault,firm ly built and hidden deep in the earth, and people are naturally curious to know what part it played in the town s early days. Perhaps some of our old timers after talkiug over the matter will arrive at some conclusion which will help to clear up the mystery. The Diamond Cure.

I TROUBLE Affilll FOB TBE DABS A member of Council in authority for the statement that in view of the large number of pirsons bitten there is a sentiment in that body favoring the muzzling of tlie dogs for the pres ent as well as carrying out the other provisions of the Borough ordinance relating to dogs. The member quoted regards the situation as little short of alarming and he stated that he had no doubt that Couuoil ou convening will order a wholesale muzzling of the dogs dor ing the hot weather as is done in Mil ton and some other neighboring towns. Something will in all probability be doue to get even with those people who evade the payment of dog tax. These persons at least will be obliged to Invest in a tag to be attached to the dog,otherwise the canine, if permitted to remain at large, will be hustled off to the dog pound and unless redeem ed will ultimately find his way to the Borough crematory. The proposition is heartily approved of by all well meaning people wheth er it relates to the muzzling of dogs or the wearing of tags. Those who, ate careful to pay their dog tax, tiowever, are anxious to know whether the charge for the tag in all cases is to be the same. They admit that while in those cases where no taxes have been paid on the dogs the Borough would be justified iu charging well for the tags to reimburse itself, yet in other cases whare the law has been lived up to and the dog tax paid regularly it would be very unjost to impose ou the owner the same price for a tag. The actual cost of the tag is merely nomin al and the matter it is held, could easily be adjusted so as to do injustice to no one. When the use of tags was resorted to iu the past it is claimed that no distinction was made, and the cost of tags was the same in all cases The excitement over the dogs still continues. Josiali Jobborn while re turning home from work Friday even ing was slightly bitten. Oddly enough in this case the offetidiug dog wore a muzzle, which as the sequence show ed was either not of the right sort or one improperly adjusted.
