POLLUTED KATERi
sirs 1. DIMS
Health Commissioner Samuel ti
Dixon in speaking of the work of pre
serving the purity of the waters of the
State in fulfilment of the duty laid
upon him by the act of April 22, 1905,
said :
"A lamentable and tremendous
amount of needless suffering. expense
and death annually result from the
wanton pollution of the streams of
Pennsylvania among those individuals
dependent upon these sources of sup
ply for drinking water. Ten* and even
hundreds of communities hang in tin
balance and at any time may have au
epidemic of typhoid fever stalking
through their midst and decimating
their numbers.
"Public and private corporations,
however, even when earnestly inclin
ed, are often limited in their powers
to prevent sewage contamination of
the source of water supply.
"After years of affliction and at a
terrific cost in human life, it has fin
ally dawned upon the ]>eople that a
higher authority than the municipal
ity must grapple with the probl> m and
afford a remedy.
"The chief engineer of the depart
ment, F. Herbert Snow, and his as
sistants are now traversing every part
of the State, making examinations of
sewerage systems and water supplies
and collecting data with respect to the
quality of all of the waters in Peun
sylvania. More than this is being
done,sources of pollution and menaces
which can l>e abated at once are re
ported to the commissioner and in
many cases a request on his part to
the owner of the premises is sufficient
to cause a removal of the menace. The
number of letters of encouragement
and co-operation in this kind of re
form received by the commissioner
splendidly illustrates the willingues
of the citizens of the State to do what
is right. In a few cases owner- wil
fully refuse to do away with the cause
of the disease, in which event they are
being brought into court or forced to
comply with the law.
"Another important feature of the
comiuisssioner's work is appealing to
the municipalities, namely,the utiliz
ing free of cost to them of tlie services
of the engineering department in con
sultation and advice respecting the in
stallation of new water works and
sewer systems and the extensions of
existing systems. This engineering
service does not interfere with the
work "of the engineer in private prac
tice, but increases it. The State de
partment gives free of cost the very
best engineering advice procurable,
which has already resulted in saving
to municipalities large sums of money
by obviating costly mistakes. In carry
ing out the general advice and sug
gestions of the State department, the
municipalities must employ their own
engineers, but before plans are finally
adopted they jiass for approval to the
health commissioner.
Will Patrol Tracks.
The Reading railway company lias
inaugurated a plan through which it
can save its property from damages
and destruction. Commencing this
week track watchmen were placed
along the entire main lines, covering
the roatl east as far as Tamaqua and
west to William sport. They travel in
a relay system, patrolling this im
mediate vicinity as follows: One start
at Carbon Run and paces to Big Moun
tain, the next from Big Mountain to
Excelsior and so on along the whole
route between the points named above
Upon reaching a telegraph office they
must rejmrt to the operator there,tine
of arriving and leaving that point,anil
the operators along the line make a
report of the watchman's movements
to headquarters at Tamaqua hourly.
Thus is a systematic record of tbeii
doings kept np. The whereabout.- of
every one on the many beats is known
at all times and ju<t where he can b
found when wanted. The object of
this as stated above is to protect the
tracks and the property along them,
the company stating that it is not go
ing to run any risks of depredations
being committer), but will try to pre
vent such from hapjiening.
A Peculiar Fatality.
Herbert Klopp. a teamster in the
employ of Elmer Bardo, Jersey Shore,
had his neck broken while driving
Saturday morning, presumably b.i
severe jolt of the wagon. The aecid
eut was not discovered until the hors< -
stopped, when a driver in the rear of
Klopp's wagon went np to discos< r
the cause of the delay He found Klopp
sitting bolt upright on the seat, he
hands clinched on the reins, but dead.
His head was hanging limply <>u his
breast, and it was further found that
hit neck was broken. The road when
Klopp was driving was quite stony
and it is thought that a seven bump
oauaed the fracture of a vertebra.
A TRIP TO
_ UATAWA
To Montour American: —On Satur
day I paid a visit to our sister town,
Cataw i-sa.antl with your permission 1
will give my impressions of the new
bridge now in irly c nnplot ■ I and of
some other matters relating to the
trip.
I made the journey l.\ trolh ; . t
Bloorasburg taking the <' »lu:nl i ' and
Montour lino. Every pers •:» -houM

on the cars of the Co! rnhi • and Mon
tour line; he then will have a higher
estimate of our own lii.!—especially
of the dignified manner- of the crews
.in iof the ": i- \ I unn "-g M -litift of
the cars. The Columbia and Montour
car I rode in Saturday was the limit
sis far as rough riding wa concerned,
bur what the trip 1 tck-ed in p- rsonal
comfort \va- mule up iu eutertaiu
ment afforded by the c inductor, who
seemed to consider ir his duty to jolly
the passengers. No matt* r v. I ■■■ got < u
or off, he was on familiar terms with
them all and for him the trip wa> om
long frolic. Whet I: r ta'.ing up tickets
or returning change tin re pretty
sure tc be a lirtl -: ie play between
thefouductoran . : . - ngerthat could
not help but attract g ueral attention
to both, especially 'o toe uduetor.
On Saturday for the lii t i gen nil
public began to walk ti •> new bridge,
although tin sidewalk- rt not yet iu
place anil the driveway i scarcely
more than passable,owing to tin mach
inery, the piles of railing,material for
concreting, etc . that bit. ■ k the v ty.
When the car stop] -ti tic i-.i-songer

individual in I . • shirt slu •• wli •
climbed up over the b uk ai.J shouted
to the approachi> g crowd. „
"Go back an I try the hriti :e ; tliey 11

This -coined :• m .rkahle, there

there were no wav son the r. • • r tiiat

crowd asked, who chcii- ian mbi
tion to cross the river on the famous
craft. "Yes, sir," replied the captain,
j "That's the Mary Ann" and he turu
! etl his eyes fondly upon the 11 ible ves
sel." "It's too stormy tot I ay," he nd
iletl apolegetivally, "when I get her
out in mid stream,the wind 1 lows I. r
all about."
Danville people will unfit r.-t ni-4 the
stage reached by the w irk on tie' Cat ;-

No concreting it 11 1., s been on a>
yet. Work ha- -• . rcely more than he

tion.
The bridge it-elf can hardly be atl
mired. To an eye accu.-t 'iuc I to tlm
finely proportioned irueture at Dan
ville, at It ist.it .-t'in- illy proportion
ed and positively agly- The length of
the spans on the laidgo here is le--
than 2 H.) feet, while tliof- of the Cat i
wi.-sa bridge are a trill over 3(>o 1 •
long. To carry those long spans the
trusses are about forty feet high, one
third more than tho-i of our bridge.
The ('atawi.-a hi. _ -not arly ->
wide tb. the Danvili- .• :ructure and
the iron work towering overhead i> a
narrow and compact m -- that almost
confuses the eye. Viewed from the
bridge it may not ho hid but from
either shore the complex mass of iron
work looming up into the sky becomes
the great fact; o 1 - ,'ht < 112 lite
structure as a bridge and the effect as
above stated is c infusing.
It is a question whether Cataw i--a
people see much about the bridge to
admire. One well-known resident of
the town was asked what he thought
of if,but lie wouldn't conn lit himself.
He merely replied: "W<ll,it' a whole
j lot better th n not! in.and thatV what
! we've had for several years past.'
RAMBLER.
A Scarcity of Laborers.
Several foreigners ame down from
Berwick Monday ft) work at tin Read
ing iron works ami tie -e
were followed by a larger number who
entered employment at the -ame plant.
An inquiry revealed that there is a
deficit ney of laborers at our local in
dustrics, which at time- make- it diffi
cult to keep all department.- in opera
tion. This .-carcity of unskilled labor
is not inert ly temporary, brought about
; by unusual eonditi ais but it is a sfate
of affairs that has become chronic and
! was a- much a factor t > coutend with
' probably a year ago a- it i- today.
Taking the Reading iron wi rk-a an
i example,of its si veil hundred employ re
i probably 25 per c nt. are un.-killed. It
is a cla-s of labor that i.- emjiolyed in
loading and unloading th cars, that
handle the stock and that (ill various
posts all about the mill.
The majority of tin: native Ameri

John A. Beaver and reads as follows:
"Mr. John A. Beaver, manager of

law >f May 1, I'.")."} for State aid to re
construct one of the most imp >rtant
road- of the township.
At a meeting of the b >ard of super
visor- of Limestone township held la-t
week on motion of G. O. Wagner, sec
retary, it was ordered that a petition
a- required by the act h presented to
their .aril of county commissioners.
T'ie road de-cribed in the application
i.the important highway leading from
Milton to Ijimestoueville and thence
on t i Washingtoiiville. Strawberry

Cramm's store at Linie-toneville. The
township complying with formality in
it- application agrees to pay when dm
one eighth of the co-t of the road.
The county commissioners at their
regular meet ing Saturday acted upon
the application for State aid from the
#upervi-or- of Limestone township.
As laid down by the law the cifmmi

DANVILLE RIFLE
AND GUN CLUB
The Danville lliflo and Gun club has
leased the ground- at DeWitt's Park
for another year. An informal shoot
was held last Friday and from now on
the regular semi monthly shoots of the
club will be a feature of the attrac
tions at the park. More than this the
members are looking forward to the
holding of a tournament this season,
which will bring together all the ex
pert shooters of the country.
The Danville Rifle and Gun club is
ono of th.i leading organizations of its
kind, among it> number being some [
the best marksmen of this section. A.
H. Woollev is president: W. Iv Lung
er, secretary, and Robert Y. Gear
hart, treasurer.
The ground at DeWitt's park, on
which a magna trap is installed, is un
surpassed in many respects. Neverthe
less, the club this year will inst ill
some additional improvements making
it one of the finest shooting grounds
hereabout.
The success of the regular -.hoots
have been interferred with during the
past two years. During the summer
of 'O4 the fcriy, which proved unreli
able. had to be depended upon solely
in getting backward and forward ov
i r the river. During t.he early part or
the summer of 'OS similar conditions
prevailed, the result being that s une
of the members lost their interest.
In addition to the fact that we now
have a bridge the members of the club
are looking forward to the probability
of the Danville and Sunbury street
railway company running ears to the
park the coming summer and the .-hoot
ers show a good deal of enthusiasm as
they talk over what they will accom
plish between now and fall.
During the present week a meeting
will bo held for the election of officers
for the ensuing year.

it is rumored that several young
school ma'ams belonging to the local
corps are planning to leave the work
of teaching and enter married life.
The subject has been remotely hinted
at by the school board on several oc
casions recently. No one seems to
know just where the vacancies are
likely to occur, which makes the
school directors all the more anxious
about the matter. There are some very
fine teachers in the local corps whose
places would be very difficult to fill

HORSE FALLS AND
mm
A curious chain of coincidences were
noted 011 Mill -treet Saturday after
uo'iu. They were all brought about by
an automobile from Bloom-lrarg. which
by the way in all its relation- was
very orderly and well managed and
iliil nothing to merit notoriety.
< »n Friday the sight of thir- automc
bile caused the horse of Hon. U. S.
Ammerman to cut up some capers,
which resulted in the animal falling
nil the pavement and breaking the
shaft-.
On Saturday afternoon at about the
same hour the same automobile at
nearly the same spot wa- making its
way along when another horse took
fright and fell on the pavement break
ing one of the shafts. The horse that
did the stunts on Saturday belonged
to Jesse Shannon and his performance
was worth witnessing, lie was Irtch
ed ill front of the meat market. At
the sight of the auto he reared and
then coming down on his feet slipped
011 the pavement and fell. He was
agile, however,and the same moment,
sprang to his feet again. To quiet t!u■
horse J. 11. llunt, the* druggist, ran
out to catch him by the bridle,but the
animal with a mighty plunge forward
severe 1 the harness in half a dozen
places and jumped clear out of the
shafts. The tie strap also snapped in
two but the hor-e was caught before
he managed to get awav. In addition
to the badly damaged harness one of
j the shafts was found to be broken.

NE\V MARRIAGE SERVICE.
A country paper up the state tells of
a justice of the peace who was called
upon to perform a marriage ceremony.
Ir was his tirst attempt and he was at
a loss to know how to proceed, but
rose to tlie occasion. He commanded
tin- happy couple to stand and be
-worn a- follows : "lJwyou solemnly
-wear that yon"will obey the constitu
tion of the United States and of the
State of Pennsylvania, and to perform
the duties of your office to the best of
your ability, so help you God?" The
couple nodded assent, and the justice
continued: ''Then by the power in me
vested by the strong arm of the law, I
pronounce you man and wife,now and
forever, and you shall stand commit
ted until the line and costs are paid,
and may the Lord have mercy upon
vour souls.''

Snydertown is Alarmed.
Residents of Snydertown are greatly
alarmed because of finding several
black hand notices tacked on fences
and barn doors. The writer of the
notices threatens to burn the town and
take the lives of several citizens.
Several suspicious characters have
been noticed in the little town before
these warnings appeared and some
of the residents believe that they
are responsible for the notices being
posted.
This taken in connection with the
recent serious fire in the town which
was of incendiary origin and the
strange uctions of an unknown indivi
dual who was noticed near the scene
of the tire on several occasions before
the conflagration lias caused more ex
citement in the place than lias occurr
ed for many years. Many of the resi
dents are now sleeping \\ itli trust \
shot guns and revolvers near at baud
and any one found prowling around at
night in a manner to excite suspicion
and alarm will likely receive several
volleys of cold lead.
The matter has been placed in the
hands of the authorities who are mak
ing every effort to solve the mystery.

At an i-arli'-r stage of the work some

Many miles might be traveled before

is chiseled n rai-twl letters the name

At the rear of tin- mausoleum is a

inches by tltree feet, two incites. It
bears a beautiful picture, the well
known representation of our Savior
knocking at the door of the tomb. The
beautiful window. -■> appropriate in
its conception, adds a peculiar charm
and sanctity to the sombre pile of
granite and marble.
There are already six bodies in the
mausoleum, those of persons intimately
related to Mrs. Geisiuger, formerly
bnried iu the cemetery but which have
been disinterred and iu new caskets,
tightly >ealed, have been consigned to ■
their place- m the catacombs. Tin re
are altogether eight such receptacles |
for tiie dead in the grand mausoleum, i
which leaves two yet to be tilled.
The mausoleum is built upon a solid ,
bed of concrete, nine feet deep, which j
rest- upon tiie eternal rock. It is six- j
teen feet long, fourteen feet wide and
sixteen feet high to the comb of the
roof. It is constructed of Barrie gran- j

Among the large stout s employed are
two used in the roof, which weighed ,
fourteen tons apiece. To give some ]
idea of the ponderous nature of the !
work it might be stated that the roof |
alone, which is composed of only three !
stones, weighs thirty-live tons.

BIG RAIN BRINGS
FLOOD CONDITIONS
A heavy downpour of rain Saturday
night caused the streams to overflow
and with the dawn Sunday a sight
was beheld that could only be com
-1 ired to the spectacle presented on sev
• itl momentous occasions in the past
| when flood conditions prevailed and
much damage was done in Danville.
The rain begin about dark Saturday
evening, a veritable downpour, which
overtaxed the -pouting and the gutters
of the -treets. In a moment it seem
ed everything was under water. The
street., were bally washed and it was
a good roof, indeed, that did uot leak
under the deluge of water that jtonred
down upon it.
After an hour or so there was a let
up in the rain, which was followed
after an interval with another,though
t less severe shower, and so it kept on
during the night aud up to about i>
Sunday morning, Jwhen the
broke and the welcome sun
-hiti appeared. Meanwhile,an enorm
ous quantity of water fell.
Long before midnight Blizzard's run
wasjm the rampage. It had not risen
to a very great height before the huge
pipe, 3 feet in diameter, sunk in the
brewery lot for the purpose of con
ducting water of the creek proved in
adequate aud then- was a big overflow
above, which inflicted great damage
on the properties of Lawrence Snyder
and that of August Theint as well as
upon the brewery itself.
The eastern liu • of ttie brewery lot,
where the stream enters the big pipe
is enclosed by a tight board fence,
which Saturday night acted as a dam
to hold back the water. All about the
creek for several hundred feet up the
stream was inundated. Larry Snyder's
premises comprising a large lot set out
in youug fruit trees was under 3%
feet of water, which extended up to
the very threshold of his house. The
water lay to a still greater depth on
the next property below, owned by
August Theim and filled the cellar of
the dwelling to the depth of three and
a half feet.
Damned up by the board fence above
the brewery the water broke out into
Spring street aud covering the width
of the thoroughfare swept down ton
i pjint below the brewery, where it
poured back in r o the channel of the
; creek.
Mr. Snyder, who was one of the
, principal sufferers, thought that the
stream when at its height would form
a pretty good object lesson for council
aud he accordingly summoned Presi
dent Gibson and several other mem
. bers besides street commissioner Mill
er and had them on the spot at half
past four a'clock while the rosy dawn
was painting the sky. Council there
fore, will have no difficulty in under
standing the true conditions and no
doubt will be able to suggest a speedy
remedy.
A visit to the spot Sunday reveal
ed a bad state of affairs. The water
hail recoiled but everything about the
Snyder and the Theim premises was
covered with slime aud mud, fruit
trees were bent over, fences were torn
down or swept away. Aloug the front
of the brewery on Spring street deep
gullies are cut into the street where
the dammed up waters passed in seek
ing a new chauuel. Below the brewery
the lot belonging to Mrs. Lee was also
badly damaged by the high water. The
fences are lifted out of the ground,the
soil is badly washed
trash.
Tlie canal above Church street was
bank full of water ami all the low
land ou the northern side |wa.s over
do wed. Fortunately, however. Bliz
zard's run proved adequate to carry off
all the excess and there was no dam
age. Not only low laud east and west
of Railroad street was uuder water
from the canal to the D. L. &W. tracks,
but also in the vicinity of the State
hospital a wide tract was submerged,
embracing not only the canal, and the
trolley tracks,but the wagon road,also
making it necessary for vehicles to
drive in the fields for a short distance.
The D. L. & \V. Raiload company
did a wise thing when it raised its
tracks, for high as the water was yes
terday at in) place was it upon the
railroad, which now answers as a sort
of a dam to throw high water back in
to Blizzard's run,which as above stat
ed now suffice* to c irry off the excess
of water.
Mahoning creek was bank full yes
terday morning, being on a level with
tlie bottom of tlie canal at the aque
duct. Yesterday afternoon it was stat
ed that if the creek rose anv higher
the mill would not be able to run to
day, but toward evening it was uotic
ed that the water was falling.
The river continued to rise up to a
late hour last night, it was then above
the fourteen foot mark and was high
er than at any time for many months
