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

FURNACE STACK
THROWN OVR#
Dismantling at the Bessemer Blast
Furnace took a rapid stride forward
Wednesday when the huge eight v-five
foot furnace stack was luirlo<l from its
foundation by heavy charges of dyna
mite and thrown over bodily, lviug at
present intact in the pig bed of the
cast house. 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.

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.

Condition of Treasury.
The condition of the finances of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is re
vealed in a statement prepared by State
Treasurer Mathues and sent to the
Legislature, in response to a concur
rent resolution adopted ten days ago,
asking for a report 011 the condition
of the treasury.
The rejiort shows that at the close of
business last Friday there was a bal
ance of $8,208,363.45 in the general
fund aud $3,301,722.71 in the sinking
fund, a total of $11,860,086.16, which
is carried 011 dejiosit in about 200 banks
and trust companies throughout the
state.
The state has $12,160,083.16 in cash
aud securities iu the treasury and a
debt of $4,023,067.02. The sinking
fund in addition holds $300,000 worth
of bonds of the Allegheny Valley Rail
road Company,making the total assets
of the treasury $12,100,086.16.
The state debt has been reduced
$694,850 by the purchase of the state
4s since October 29 last. The premium
paid <lll these bonds amounted to $41,-
601 and the interest SO,OOB. 11, making
the total cost $745,549. 11. The funded
debt of the Commonwealth is $3,889,-
850 and the unfunded debt $134,117.02.
All old-time Cough Syrups bind the
bowels. This is wrong. A new idea
was advanced two years ago in Ken
nedy s Laxative Honey and Tar. This
remedy acts on the mucous membranes
of the throat and lungs and loosens the
bowels at the same time. It expels all
I cold from the system. It clears the
throat, strengthens the mucous mem
branes. relieves coughs, colds, croup,

Murderer Goes Insane.
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.

THE COUNTY
TAX RATE
At the regular meeting of the Coun
ty Commissioners on Saturday it was
decided to fix the tax rate at 3jo mills
for the present year. 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.

Weather Report by Telephone.
The United Telephone Company has
arranged to give the farmers of the
State the weather report daily, this
fact, which is of state interest, being
announced for the first at this time.
At the meeting of the State Grange
at Sunbury this matter was left in the
bauds of William T. Creasy and Mr.
Porter, of Williamsjiort, with the re
quest that they take it up with the
Bell and Independent companies. A
letter was received Friday by Mr.
Creasy from the United Telephone
Company in which lie was informed
that the company would be glad to
furnish the information to the patrous.
The details of the plan have not yet
been arranged, but the probabilities
are that at a certain hour each day the
operators at central points through tln
state will ring up the various subscrib
ers. the ring denoting that it is the
"weather" ring and all who care to
get the weather report can then come
on the line
This plan has been successfully fol
lowed in the west, but is new to the
east.

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.

WHAT OUR
BOROUGH NEEDS
During an interview with J. 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.
