THDEE VEAR OLD TDK TAKE KALI Two little tots of the Fourth Ward became lost Tuesday aud before they were recovered they caused consider able excitement,which took iu a large part of town. While the babes iu one section kept the residents guessing as to who they were aud where they liv ed the fond mothers in another part of town were prosecuting a vigorous and excited search and the whole affair aroused general aud wide spread sym pathy. Two little girls each about 3 years of af?e. comfortably and "nicely dressed made their appearance on .Mill streef about 9 o'clock. They soon attracted attention and it became known that they were lost. One of them attempt ed to give her uame, which she could not repeat distinctly aud as she was unable to tell where she lived it af forded no clue to her identity. J. B. McCoy hap|)euiug to pass took the little girls to his home on West Market street. Here one of them soon fell asleep, while the other one strol led out of the house aud disappeared. Officer Voris accompanied by several others started out to find the little girl and if possible to learn where both children lived.. This was just before the hour of noon. About half an hour later the little girl was found sitting on the step in front of J. H. Fry's music store. She tried to be brave,bur finally said she was tired and began to cry. By this time a large number of people along the street had interested themselves in the lost tots, but no one was able to identify them. The Offic er was iu the act of leadiup the little girl back to J. B. McCoy's when the news came down the street that there was a woman up 011 Market street hunting for a lost child. The affair from this poiut drifted rapidly to a denouement. The woman was Mrs. Frauk Bannigan of Ash street and she identified the little one as her child. A few minutes later an other anxious looking lady turned up. She was also searching for a lost child, who, it is needless to explain, was at that moment sleepiug soundly at the hospitable home of J. B. McCoy. West Market street. One seldom hears of an odder caper ou the part of such small children. About tt o'clock, Mrs. Forred explain ed, her little daughter Hannah had begged permission to run down to Mrs. Bannigan's aud play with Mariou, the little daughter of the household. She gave her consent and thought no more about it until nearly noon when Mrs. Bannigan appeared at her house mak ing inquiries about her little girl. Mutual explanations revealed that lit tle Hannah Forred had appeared at the Bannigan home aud that after some time both children disappeared. Mrs. Bannigan thought they had run up to Forred's and gave herself no concern. An odd circumstauce connected with the affair was that the two little girls during their trip dowu town exchang ed their coats, one of which was red and the other grey. This led to much confusion during the search,as the lit tle girl who left home with red head gear and a red coat was quite a differ ent girl with red head gear and a grey coat. The change worked the same ef fect iu the case of the other girl. No one had seen sucli a child as either of the ladies described h«*r daughter and because of this the aux iety of the )iareuts was greatly pro- I longed A healing Gospel. The Rev. J. C.

The overthrow was not accomplished without a great deal of delay, one or more unforeseen circum stances adding much to the danger us ually attending such work and making the situation at times little short of thrilling. The interesting operation j was not without spectators, a large ! number of townspeople witnessing tlie | work of demolition. By Tuesday evening everything was | ready for throwing the stack and for ! the first tiling Wednesday morning the ! blasting began. The furnace consisted of the floor or hearth supported by j heavy iron legs several feet in height, above which was the outer wall or casing of the furnace known as the mantle. In the Bessemer furnace the mantle consisted of the usual circular wall of brick sheeted with iron plates firmly riveted together. The usual plan adopted in throwing 1 furnace stacks was followed. A charge ! of dynamite was placed under each of ; the four legs supporting the mantle under the front part of the furnace and j the fuse was lighted. This was about ! 7:30 o'clock. The presence of a great 1 crowd was not desirable and Mr. PouT terer, who has the work of dismant | ling in charge, had not talked very ' freelv about his plans for vesterdny. ( * \ * Nevertheless the fact got noised about ! that the big stack was to fall and by j 7 :30 o'clock there were a good many ; people in groups of a dozen or twenty five standing about anxious to see what ' was to happen. I When the fuse connected with the ! four charges of dynamite which were to tumble the furnace were lighted the crowd stood silent with suppressed j emotion aud susjieuse. It was only a few moments, however, and then the first explosion occurred, which fairly 1 shook the earth ; there was an interval of half a minute and then the second | shot rent the air; another very brief ! interval ana the third explosion oc -1 curred, the tremor it sent through the earth indicating how effectually it was doing its work. Every eye was fixed upon the huge tower of masonry and iron firm in the belief that with the next shot the huge mass would totter jon its foundation and fall. Tliese re- I flections were cut short by the fourth | shot which was the heaviest of all and , then to the disappointment of all the furnace did uot fall or indicate that it i had been weakened in its support. I This really was a contingency not j looked for by t lie wreckers, as accord j iug to all theories the furnace should j have fallen after the four shots. A i new element of danger now entered j into the situation. The furnace might j be merely hanging fire aud would fall | the next moment or it might be held ! in such a manner as to stand indefin itely. It devolved upon somebody to take the risk and ascertain the true circumstances. Alexander Hamilton.the boss wreck er, is a man of too much push and nerve to permit the matter to remain long in doubt. Defying danger the wreckers approached the base of the furnace and discovered that the dyna mite had done its work well; each of the four legs was blown away and along with them the iron base and the lower i>ortion of the mantle taking in the whole front half of the furnace. The reason why the stack refused to fall is thus explained: The furnace when shut down had not been blown out and in the bottom lay au immense salamander;when the legs wen- blown away by the dynamite the breast of the stack lodged upon the solid mass in such a way as to hold if firmly in position. A new problem now present ed itself, but the quick 'wit of the wreckers soon suggested a method of overcoming the difficulty, which was to blast away a portion of the brick work resting on tfie salamander, thus depriving the structure of its support. By means of the opening afforded by the tweers three charges of dynamite were placed in the breast of the fur nace. This work was accomplished with much difficulty and danger by reason of the bricks which were con stantly falling from the breast of the furnace where the mantle had been blown away. A delay of over an hour was occasioned by the unexpected fur taken by events. It was 9:30 o'clock when the crucial hour arrived and everything was ready to set off the second set of blasts. By this time there was a big assemblage of iieople occupying widely scattered l»oiuts waiting to witness the spec tacle. No one was disappointed this time. The three shots went off at in tervals of probably half a minute. Simultaneously with the last rejwjrt a movement was discernible 111 the stack ; the next moment there was the sound of rasping iron and the crashing of many timbers as the eighty-five foot stack, swung away from its moorings and carrying with it the high elevator shaft by its side amid a dense cloud of dust fell bodily over and landed on the site of the cast house recently torn flown. It was some minutes before the dust cleared away sufficiently to re veal the stack, which lay prostrate and half flattened under the force of the fall. The next job will be to laboriously cut the rivets, separating the iron plates and removing them along with the other iron used in the construc tion of the staek. A GUARANTEED CURE FOR PILES Itching.

WRAPPING DIVER RAM From time immemorial the North Branch of the Susquehanna has been making heavy inroads along the north ern shore at Danville. The big river has always had its way in the matter j and each recurring heavy flood at cer , tain point • has cut off slice after slice j of valuable land until really it has bc ; came a question where the thing isgo ' iug to end. It has remained for F. O. Hartmau jto take the initiative, to contest the supremacy of the great river. At no j point do the swollen waters attack j the shore with greater virulence than : just opj>osite the Nemolotou Silk Mills. ■ The spring flood of 11MV4 wrought great j havoc, not only cutting away a large portion of the embankment, but also nearly destroying the wafer plant con nected with the mills. Mr. Hartmau immediately repaired the damage to his wells and then set about to fortify himself against the i recurrence of such a calamity. All who visit the spot are surprised at the immense amount of work that Mr. Hartman has done, and feel convinced that he has a fair chance of holding his own in this conflict with the old river. Hundreds of cubic yards of cinder and other material have been hauled to the spot and dumped over the river bank opposite the mills at a point im mediately above the well and the spot where the huge waste pipe connected with the steam condenser enters the river. Of course a deposit of cinder and the like no matter how extensive would of itself be hardly a circum stance in the face of a great flood on the river if the deposit were not reenfore ed in some way. In order to make the shore as nearly impregnable as possible Mr. Hartman has conceived the idea of riprapping he high bank as fast as the filling up progresses and the river bank is.recon structed. For this purpose he is buy ing up all the heavy stone to be pro cured in this section. He has not only purchased all the stone suitable for i this purpose at the Bessemer Blast fur ! nace being dismantled.but also all the | stoue at the old canal lock above town, j the stone at the aqueduct in this city I and the stone used in the construction ! of the canal bridge at Chulasky. Mr. Hartnian lias also purchased the stoue at Pursel's slope, but while ho will 110 doubt have use for these iu filling up, tiiev are hardly of the sort required for riprapping. The stoue have already beeu shipped up from Clmlaskv. There were ten ear loads of them in all, many being monsters, especially tiiose used iu the bridge abutment. The larger of the stones, weighing three to four tons apiece, are already being laid in position on the river bank. It is a very complete piece of riurapping. the stones being carefully laid and not dumped down over the river bank without regard to order as is mostly considered sufficient in such work. Mr. Hartnian is filling up all along the shore and it is his intention sooner or later to riprap the river bank as far ib his projH'rty extends. .Just at pres ent he is concerned with the protec tion of his water plant and the steam condenser which i- nearly a winter's job in itself. The condenser is a most important adjunct of the plant effect ing a tremendous saving in fuel. At the same time it is worthy of note that it requires in its operation 130,000 gallons of water per day.

His miud a complete wreck, James Salerno is pacing lii> steel cage in the Lycoming county jail at Williamsport, a raving maniac. The long confine ment lias broken down his health and Saturday the first symptoms of mental decay were noticed. Saturday night 1 Dr. Shaw, the jail physician, was call ed, and after working with him for several hours he announced that the prisoner was hopelessly insane. His eyes wild and his entire frame shaking violently.Salerno alternately imagines that he is feeding and counting chick ens, and that some one is in his cell with a butcher knife, trying to get at him. He screams with fear, crouching in the corner of his cell, a most piti able object. The authorities will undoubtedly take prompt action to have Salerno's case passed upon by a commission,and tlie date of his execution postponed. The County Commissioners, when in formed of the turn matters had taken, were inclined to take action, but after having a talk with Solicitor Strieby, decided that it was not their duty to do so. Mr. Strieby says that it is up to Salerno's counsel to take the case to the pardon board or the supreme court. As Salerno's friends found it impossi ble to raise funds for this purpose be fore, there is not much reason to think that it would be done now. When Mr. Bentley, who defended Salerno at liis trial, was asked about the matter lie said that lie knew nothing ol' it and refused to talk about what might be done. Sheriff Riddell said that if others failed to take the necessary steps, he would do so himself, for humanity's sake. He is convinced beyond all doubt that the condemned man is in sane, and he will do everything in his power to prevent the sentence being carried out, at least until the matter can be thoroughly investigated.

This is the same as it was last year. The tax rate pre vious to 1905 was :S mills. The increase was rendered necessary to assist in meeting the extraordinary expenditures, which the County Com missioners were obliged to face as the result of flood conditions, which took away the bridge. In addition to the sum of S6OOO, Montour County's share of the cost of the new bridge, there was an item of £2,482 for erecting and operating the free ferry, which the Commissioners had to pay. Over and above these was the cost of street pav ing, $634.65, and of concrete steps and pavement at the Court House, $1565. - 50, both of which items the county had to pay. All of the above expenditures came in the most unexpected way and had to be met. It will be seen that the ad ditional funds ($2500) realized by the increase of taxation has gone only a small way toward liquidation of the extra expense. During the present year the Court House and several County bridges will have to be repainted and the Court House grounds will have to be graded. By economical management, however, the County Commissioners expect to be able to meet all running expenses and reduce indebtedness. The annual statement just printed is worth perusal. Three years ago the liabilities in excess of the assets were $11,512.06. The present statement of the county shows the liabilites in ex cess of assets to be $8,330.10, a reduc tion in liabilities of over $3,000 in three years, which is not a bad show ing considering the extra expenditures heaped upon the countv.

ABOOT SIIOKE PBOTECTOBS Since the fire at the Stove Works on the Bth inst., when the dense smoke was a factor that handicapped firemen and caused additional loss the subject of "smoke protectors" have been ex tensively discussed by the firemen and others. Unfortunately, however, then was in Danville a lack of information on the subject of "smoke protectors'' as relates to their general efficacy in fighting fires,their construction.meth od of using them, cost, &c. A letter has been received from Otto .T. Welj), a leading fireman of Phila delphia, who is well known in Dan ville, which throws a great deal of light on the subject of smoke protect ors and presents other interesting facts relating to fire fighting. Mr. Welp says: "I feel confident that the addition of a smoke protector would be a ben efit to the Danville Fire Department and that the results obtained would fully repay the Borough in the long run. I have in mind a good and inex pensive one that is quite extensively used throughout the country and if de sirable I will make further inquiries and give you the benefit of the infor mation. "The subject of smoke protectors opens up a wide field for discussion. Firemen agree that a smoke protector is an excellent thing if the wearer knows how to use it. There is one danger connected with its use and that is that a man, provided he is a true fireman, is apt togo farther than he should and become lost in the burn ing building. "The situation in Danville is differ ent. however. There large buildines are few and the average man in the fire department is well acquainted with the interior construction. Here in Philadelphia each fire company is provided with a smoke protector and the truck companies carry a very elab orate and expensive affair imported from Germany anil only used on the rarest occasions. Our men are trained to fight fire and endure smoke. So that you see the comparison between your department and ours is hardly a fair one. I recall a fire in a stairway 011 the seventh floor of a twelve story building where I thought it was all up on account of the dense smoke yet by working in relays we got the fire out. Pluck and grim determination as well as the spirit of rivalry between the differeut companies counts for a great deal in the Philadelphia Fire Depait ment. Smoke and flame are hard to resist but our men stand the severe, punishment for the mere satisfaction of saying : "It is our fire.'' I am aware, however, that there is a big difference between fighting fire for love and for $llOO per year. I have seen some very creditable work in formed by volunteers and you have among you in Danville men who are vastly superior both as firemen and men to some amongst us. We have men who could not get into your com panies; we have other men who try, who have the courage and the heart but are not physically constituted to stand the punishment. Then we have men who are fit only for drivers or engineers, but, by the way, a good driver or engineer is as essential to an engine company as good hose man. I should think smoke protectors would be an excellent thing in Danville and would enable your firemen togo fur ther and to remain longer in a burning building and that as a rule results would be much better. It, however, appears to me that a course of instruc tion would be necessary before your firemen would be able to use the smoke protectors. Yours truly, ()TTO J. WELP. I Frightfully Burned. Chas. W.

H. Goeser, President of the Board of Trade yesterday, that gentleman advanced some very sound views concerning the town's development and the plain du ties of citizens whether members of the Board of Trade or others who have the public welfare at heart. It is well enough, he says, to look out for the business interest of the town. But just now lie declared all citizens should «ive their attention to the selection of candidates for the spring elections.the primaries of which will take place Friday and Saturday night. In no other way can a town be assisted so materially, as by selecting right men for office. None but the best of men—business men—men of execu tive ability—of public spirit—men who know how to economize without being niggardly—should be selected as can didates for either school director or cc (uncilman. Our town has started out fairly well on the road to progress. We have a paved street, but street improvement is scarcely more than begun j we have a public sewer but the system must be extended and intelligent action, based on experience, is necessary in order that sewerage from now on be a source of revenue instead of a drain on the Borough's resources. The Borough has a splendid electric light plant, a dem onstrated success at present, but whether or not its efficacy shall be maintained and whether or not it shall continue to effect a saving to the Bor ough will depend wholly upon how it is managed. The Borough, Mr. Goeser states, was never so much in need of able men as in the present crisis. No citizen from the humblest to the most influ ential can serve his town any better than by giving his vote at the primary for a man qualified in all respects for the office he aspires to fill. And the person selected, if he feels himself qualified, no matter how pressing his engagements, should be willing to sacrifice some of his own interests and take up the burden of office. It is only by such self sacrifice tlmt progress in municipal affairs is possible in any town. Speaking -of our Board of Trade in connection, with new industries, Mr. Goeser stated that recent experience has shown that it is imiK>ssible to do anything with small industries. The Knitting Mills and the Silk Mill each grew from a small beginning,but con ditions have changed. These are the days of big operations and competition is such that the little ones soon goto the wall. Thus Danville has two or three small enterprises that have been unable to obtain a foothold and are standing idle or are practically in that state. The industries already here, Mr. Goeser said, should he looked af ter and should be carefully guarded by the Board of Trade, as the loss of even one of these would be a misfortune to the town. A Sunbury Engagement. The engagement has been announc ed of two prominent young society l»eople of Sunbury; Miss Annie Cad wallader, younger daughter of Gener al George B. Cadwallader and Simon P.
