Mr Vastiue called attention to the bad condition ot the above street and urge 1 that the new law he taken advantage of,which provides that boroughs m»y share in Stato Aid for road building.

A communication was received from the Borough Solicitor reporting that among tlia delinquents for street pav ing is a claim of #7o3.against the D. L. & W. R. H.

The Borough Solicitor urged that it was but fair to the Reading Railway Company and those citizens who promptly paid their respective assessments months ago that the payment of this claim without far ther delay should now be urgently in sisted upon. Mr. Reifsnyder reported that he had a conversation with Chief Engineer Ray, who explained that there was some objection to the division of the cost of paving and that the matter is at present in the hands of the Com pany's Attorney in Dauville Ou motion of Mr. Goeser it was or dered that hereafter the Borough on - giue he rented out to parties !lt t,ie rate of one dollar per day wlteu used or at a minimum charge of three dol lars per week, the engine to b6 kept under shelter and to ho returned in as good a condition as when obtained.

THE ELECTMC BELLS The electric signals installed last week at the Center and the Spruce street crossings by the P. <Sc K. Com pany do not prove an unmixed bless ing The residents have not jet be come accustomed to the jingle at night and are considerably annoyed, a good many declaring that they are unable to obtain much sleep. With traffic on the P. & R. Railway at its present pi tcli. it is probably true that there are hut short intorvals during the night when it happens that a train or its pusher is not somewhere on the block,either in passing or in frequent ly moving backwards and forwards as is necessary in switching. As a result the bolls make a good record each night. The good people residing in the viciuity, however, so much an noyed at present, will 110 doubt be come accustomed to the noise by and by, just as they have become accustom ed to the passing of the trains. Where new trolley lines are installed the resi dents are annoyed in just the same way at first, but in time they become accustomed to the noise and the cars pass at night without awakening them. Another fact is plainly apparent and that is that if persons who use the crossings do not observe the precaution to remain off until the bells have stop ped ringing the signals instead of pre venting accident may be indirectly the cause of one. Whatever roles may he in force relating to pushers it is clear that these do not in all cases keep up to the trains. A day or so ago several persons including children were expose) to; danger at Center stre-it. A north bound freight passed follow ed by a pusher at some 300 yards. When the freight passed the pedestrians stepped upon the crossing and did not see the pusher until it was nearly up on them. It is clear under the circumstances that the only safe rule to follow is to assume that there is danger so long as the bells are ringing and to keep off the crossing until the signals cease. It is certainly unsafe to assume that dan ger is over when one train passes. Anyone who yields to the temptation to cross after a train should not think Of doing so until ho assures himself that no otiier engine is follow ing with in sight. He should not lose sight of t!:° fact that so long as the bells are ringing there is danger. Thirty 111 From Poisoning. The residents ot South Danville aud Riverside since Saturday night have been very much wrought up over wholesale poisoning attended with in tense suffering aud iu which several persons narrowly escaped death. The whole is easily traced to » parly Sat urday uifiht in which ice cream was partaken of. The function took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Chapman, who sought to entertain their friends in a way to make the occasion a pleas ant one and are very much grieved to find that through no fault of theirs so much suffering and anxiety have been entailed. During the evening ice cream was served. When the party broke up all seemed well, but before morning of the fifty-four attending at loast thirty were prostrated,twonty of whom wrtre taken violently ill. It was :i o'clock Sunday morning when Dr. N. M. Smith was called to the residence of Frank Mensch, where Mrs. Mensch aud four children were suffering dreadful agony. The general symptoms were those of cholera mor bus,the vomiting being especially vio lent. Mrs. Mensch was in a critical condition as the result of the poison ing and lay with scarcely any pulse. For some time it was a question whether her life could be saved. Fol lowing the visit to the Mensch home Dr. Smith was obliged in quick sue- oes-ion to respond to calls in lialf a dozen different directions, the stricken persons alt being those who attended tlio party an<l had eaten ice cream. The symptoms in all cases were alike, leaving no doubt in the doctor's mind that the illness was caused by poison ous matter of some kind. During Sun day l)r. Smith prescribed for a dozen. A good many who were taken sick not knowing that others were similarly affootei regarded their attack as cholera morbus and treated themselves as best they could. It is known that in all thirty were taken sick. Paul Hoover, the son of Kli Hoover, came very near dying Mis. Peter Rerger was also very sick. Among | other well known persons stricken were: Mrs .1 W. Tieas, Mrs. George Wertman, Mrs. Clarence Y eager, daughter o? Pursol Hummer, and 'daughter of Kd>vard Hiiiumer. Up to ye-t'ird'iy ii"w ca-e* wire being heard from, some of which are still quite serious. The eases in many instances are very stubborn and after apparent ly yielding to remedies break out am'w That no deaths have occurred is very fortunate; as above explained the margin of escape in several inst ances was narrow, indeed. !.

In the forenoon they transacted some business with the Northumber land Countv Board and in the after 110011 they held a public sale The Northumberland County Board was represented by Commissimieis Beck aud Raodenbush and their busi ness related to the disposal of the forty and other matters in which the two counties were concerned jointly as a result ot the great ice gorge, which swept away the bridge. Messrs. Bc.uk aud Raudetibush returned to Sunbory on tlio 12:10 Pennsylvania train. The iron bridge, which lies embeded in the mud at the Creek's Mouth, and the ferry boat were sold at public sale at 2 o'clock, Michael Brock hi 11 acting as auctioneer. The bridge was sold lir>t. It was do-cribed as eightv-two ford long and was supposed to contain eight or ten tons of iron. Bidding was not brisk and it was knocked down to Benjamin Miller for fifty dollars, who started it with a bill of twenty-five dollars He made a good bargaiu. The flat boat was put up independ ent of the cable and carriage. It is one of the biggest 111 this section of the country aud was built only some eighteen months ago ami is therefore practically as good as new. The flat boat alone cost #5lO, yet 110 one seem ed to want it very badly at five dol lars, which was the price it was stait ed at. Bidding dragged along slowly and it was finally knocked down to Henry Divel for |20.50. The cable and guy rope were next put up. They ran np pretty rapidly to fifty dollars but hung at that figure While the flat boat cost fill).the cable cost |2lO and the additional cost of poles, carriage, &c.', ran the cost ot the free ferry up to about one thou sand dollars. It was desirable, of course, to realize as much as possible on the sale in order to reimburse the two counties, but the nnwuldly flat boat ever since the first summer has been an elephant 011 the hands ot the County Commissioners and they were glad to get rid ot it for what it would bring. In the case of the big cable, the poles, &c., however, it was differ ent; they are more easily taken care of and can at any time he sold for very nearly their full value. The County Commissioners, therefore, 1 efused to let the cable ami guy ropes go at fifty dollars and they were not sold on Sat urday. To Succeed fir. I.aumaster. W. D.

There is no sign of beginning work on any of the new buildings at the Hospital for the Insane,hut things are not entirely at a standstill at the big institution. Just now the wooden beds, which np to (lie present have h. 011 111 use at the Hospital, are b 'ing thrown out and their places filled with more model 11 iron beds It may not occur to all persons that there are over a thousand beds 111 use at the Hospital for the Insane. The wooden beds in use are no ordinary or ill-adapted affairs,but were made with <picial reference to Hospital use, ac cording to specifications furnished by the Hospital authorities They are therefore well built and durable, tap able of standing the roughest kind of usage, such as they are constantly subjected by insane patients. The bed* have not been found want ing m any respect, but the change i* mailt* to suit the ideas of some physi cians on the Hoard of Trustees, who regard iron beds a* more sanitary. The lust Legislature appropriated ten thous and dollar* for iron beds On the strength id this an order was placed tor between twelve and thirteon liun ilreil beds with springs. The liist installment of iron beds two cat loads—liavo just ;n rived at the Hospital and the work of install ing them is now fully under way. The wooden beds displaced in most inst ances are as good a* new and what to do with them is something of a prob lem. An effort will probably be made to dispose of them to some other in stitution or they may bo sold to the general public for what they will bring.

That there was not a wholestle jail delivery in Danville accompanied iu all probability with murder is due wholly to the vigilance of Sheriff George Maiers. Not only did the Sheriff by a timely discovery keep sev eral desperate men behind the bars but let no doubt saved his own lite, for it seemed to he a part of the plot t.o lure tin Sheriff iuto the jail and to strike him down with a club The inmates of the County Jail at present are as follows : David Bariett and Elmer Halderman, who are held for trial in connection with the bold hold-up at W. H N. Walker's hotel ou the evening of July 3rd ; John Sees, who is held 011 the strength of a state mi nt made by his wife accusing him of causing the death of their child, aud George Crossley, who is awaiting trial 011 the charge of assault and bat tery. During Sunday the Sheriff detected » slight noise in the direction of that portion of the building where tt.e prist nets are confined. It was a noise that had a peculiar signification to the Sheriff ami he immediately went about ati investigation. Time and time again during the day 011 hearing the noise lie went into the jail, but in every in stance he found everything quite and orderly, the prisoners showing no es pecial interest and no embarrassment. He was convinced,however,that some thing was wrong and Sunday night a dose watch WHS maintained. Yesterday morning the Sheriff kept Barrett and Halderman in their colls and quitted their suspicions by telling them that he expected to have the plumber in the prison during the fore noon when it would be necessary to keep things ciosed 4 Instead of the plumber, however, the Sheriff sum moned Chief-of-polico Miticemoyer and Ofii.jor John Grier Voris, to whom ho confided his suspicions and whom he requested to accompany him 011 a tour of investigation through the cells. The three officials went into Bar rett's cell but found nothing. In the bath room, however,cunningly secret ed on the under side of a table was a jimmy and six hack saw blades, such as are used for siwing through stool. Halderman's cell was next examined and there secreted 111 a small interstice behind the railing of the bed were six more saw blades. Iu his pocket was found a monkey wrench. In Sees' cell hack of the plumbing was found a saw frame with one saw, dulled with us age, fast 111 the frame. A short examination showed that the saw at least had been put to very effective use. In Sees' cell directly opposite a window 011 the east side aud separated from it only by a hall some three feet wide, two iron bars over an inch in thickness were found about one-third sawed through. The officers in all found themselves in possession of one hack saw —frame and thirteen blades,—one jimmy and monkey wrench. They wore about leaving that portion of the building and wire passing out of the door of the cage when one of the prisoners, who declared himself not in sympathy with the plot, teachedover bead and pulled out a club in the form of a heavy chair leg. which he presented to the Sheriff with the remark : " Here, lake this thing \«ih yon; we don't want ili is in litre." It is something more than a theory that the dub entered prominently in to the plot 'o tiroak jail. When the bars were all severed and the prison ers had found their way from the cage into the corridor it would have been a'i i asy matter for one of the prisoners by feigning illness to have brought the Sheriff into the cage; as he pissed through the gar > another prisoner by playing his part could have seized the heavy dub and dealt him a blow over the bead. With the gates op ui and the Sheriff silenced it might have proven a comiiaiatively easy mattir for the despi rate in MI to have made tli •ir es cape through the side entrance. T:h; ln xt ihing was to lino our with whose aid the saws, jimmy and other articles dis, oferod were conveyed or cansed to lie delivered to the prison r . The Sheriff was nothing ill strik ing a rlew and on tho strength of in formation, which lie lodged before Justice of the Peaofl Ogleshy shortly before noon yesterday. John Seitz and lialph Halm, two young men of town, were taken into custody. At 2 o'clock they wire arraigned before Justice Ogleshv, tht bearing being conducted by District Attorney Ralph Kisuer.

On the night b'fore the Habeas Corpus bearing, lie oalil, the two latter came to the back fence and Sr< s repeated a conversation which passed between them and the men in the jail, relating to some mat ter understood between the parties. About thi- time the prisoners secured the saw with two extra blades, which (hey brought into Sees' ci II and ex hibit ed with the remark : •' Here's our liberty !"
