" A Private Telephone System. The Danville Stove and Manufact uring company has installed a tele phone system at its plant which is proving a great convenience and time saver. There are 'five departments in the plaut of the Danville stove and manu facturing company—the office, foun dry, shipping rooms, tin shop, and iron pattern shop. Each of these de partments is more or less remote from the other and in order to communic ate when desired, it was formerly necessary to do a good deal of running backwards and forwards. Now each of the departments can be called up from the office and communication can be established in a moment with the fore man or other jiersou wanted. Tfie stove works is one our growing and most of prosperous industries. It is worthy of note that it is not slow in installiug improvements needed. At the present time it is probably one of the best equipped plants in this sec tion. The private telephone system was installed by Cleaver Wagner, the ris ingjvoung electrician, who has charge of the clock factory. hotel Changes Hands. An important business transfer was completed yesterday afternoon when O. K Drumheller purchased the good will and fixtures of the JAldine Hotel, Sunbury, from Fred Aldinger, who was the proprietor and conducted the hotel ever since it was built. The sale proved to IK; quite a sur prise and is said to have been con summated within a few hours time. The exact price paid is not known but is said to be about four thousand dol lars. The new proprietor took charge of the hotel immediately after the sale was completed Mr. Drumheller is the owner of the building and a- is well known is a successful hotel man of many years ex perience. It is his intention to greatly enlarge the present building and make the Aldiue a hotel second to none in ■da |«trt of th<- State It is reported that Mr. Aldinger will likely move to MilJersburg where he will erect and conduct a hotel. DEATH TRAPS. Lewisburg is the defendant in a ten thousand dollar suit brought by the family of Jesse Fetter, of Winfield. It will be remembered that Fetter was driving along the road at the Bucknell siding. At this jxjint the road and track run side by side and his horse frightened and plunged in front of the train. There is every reason to be lieve that the borough will lose the case, not perhaps to the extent of the f-um demanded, but the verdict will bo in the plaintifl's favor. In and alniut Danville there are several traps that will sooner or later involve the parties resjionsible in a damage suit, and it would be well to give them attention before and not after an accident oc curs.

Today the work of removing the pat terns will be begun. When ground was broken, less than two mouths ago, .1. F Montague, who has the work ia charge, declared that the building would be completed and in use before June Ist. As the sequel show- he was not over confident. While two rows of shelving remain to be iu gtalled and some work on the floor re mains to lie done, the building is oth erwise completed. It is an odd-look ing structure it is true, although ad mirably adopted to its purpose. It is 120 feetx36 feet, one story high, built ot brick, the walls being without a single window or opening of any kind with the exception of one door at the western end next to the foundry. The roof i> lined with corrugated galvaniz ed iron. The door and door frame are lined with asbestos and iron so that not an inch of woodwork is exposed on the outside of the building. Light i- admitted through twenty skylight-:, each 2 feet by :i feet,insert ed in the roof. The skylights are form ed of hammered glass three-eights of an inch thick. The glass in each sky light is composed of one big plate and to properly insert these without any mishap proved no easy task. This branch of the work was iu charge of Edward Yeager. Not only will the fire proof building insure greater security to the patterns but the additional and better arrange ment of space will admit of a more advantageous classification. With the patterns as piled up promiscuously in their old quarters there was frequent ly no little delay before the patterns wanted were found, whereas, in the new quarters, it will be possible to proceed at once to the very spot where the right patterns are stored. The Frisco Horror. Terrible liavoc wrought by earth quake and fire. Thousands homeless and destitute. Loss of life never will be known. The earthquake in San Francisco shook down hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of walls and chimneys, but the conflagration that followed burned up hundreds of millions of dol lars worth of property. These is no estimating within hun dreds of millions the actual damage wrought. Not in history has a modern imperi al city been so completely destroyed. San Francisco is gone. All that now remains of this once beautiful city is a smoldering mass of ruins,with thousands of homeless peo ple camping in vacant lots, in parks and cemeteries.

George Eederhoof,aged seventy-four years, a drayman living at Montours vilie, was killed shortly after noon yesterday at the Reading railroad crossing at that place. He was warned that a train was coming by a number of employes of the factory, who were nearby,and one even attempted to stop bis horse, but it is believed that Fed erhoof, who was slightly deaf and could not hear the train, believed that they were making sport of him. At any rate he did not heed the warning and drove onto the track directly in front of the approaching train. As his wagon was squarely on the track it was struck by the train. Mr. Federhoof was thrown out and caught on the cowcatcher, head downward. He was carried this way for a short distance, when he fell under the eng ine. As soon as possible the train was .-topped, but not until the engine and three cars had passed over the unfor tunate man. He was dead when tak en from under the wheels. His left leg bad been broken and his right was terribly mangled. He had received a number of cr.ts about the head and body. Coroner Gilmore was at once summoned. Federhoof is survived by one daugh ter, Viola, who kept house for him, and one son, Harry. Death oi Well Known Railroader. Snydertown lost one of its oldest and most respected citizens in the death of George \V. Simonson, which occurred yesterday morning at !»:30 o'clock, he having reached the age of 70 years. His health had been impaired for sev eral years by a stroke of paralysis, which eventually had a fatal termina tion.

That these crops suffered to some extend would seem quite likely, although it is stated that a heavy fog made its appearance about 4 a. m. which had the effect of neutralizing the frost. About VVashingtonville the frost was quite heavy and it is feared that the early vegetables sustained damage, al though just how much it is not possi ble to say.

Kerns, the well known black smith, met with an accident Tues day, in which he sustained a fracture of the jaw. The injury affords an in stance of the irony of fate, as the ac cident was sustained while manipulat ing an invention for shoeing treacher ous horses, the very purpose of which was to protect the blacksmith from in jury. The accident, however, was no fault of the invention, but, as will be seeu, was due to an unforeseen cir cumstance. Ordinarily, the process ol' horseshoe ing at the present day goes on about the same as when old men were boys; the blacksmith, taking horses as they come, unflinchingly walks up to the fidgety and nervon< steed,takes up the animal's leg ami—either succeeds in shoeing him or takes a header across the shop,propelled by the horse's hind leg. P. M. Kerns' blacksmith shop on Northumberland street seems to be tin only one in which is installed stock-, a modern invention to assist in shoe ing horses disposed to kick or which are otherwise apt to prove trouble some while in the blacksmiths hands. Tuesday at Mr. Kerns' shop a crowd assembled to witness the shoeing of a large stallion. The horse,a noble animal, weighing 1450 pounds and belonging to Joseph Kiinbel, positively refused to submit to shoeing in the ordinary way and it was decided to place him in the stocks. The unsuspecting horse was led in to position and two heavy well braced beams,fastened to the wall in front of the animal, and swinging on hinges were brought together one on each side and locked together behind him enclosing the horse securely as in shafts. A wide girth was placed un der the animal; two heavy ropes, one taking the place of the breech band and the other the breast strap, were placed in position. All that remained was to apply a lever.which gave -utli cient purchase to raise the horse from his feet and hold him so tight that to struggle would be futile. The change that came over the ob streperous horse was remarkable in deed. A restless and dangerous animal a moment before that resisted the blacksmith at every turn he now half hung and half stood heliile.-s and ap parently willing to submit to any thing. Aii attachment in the form of ail iron arm by means of a crank was next swung around and manipulated so to lock the horse's leg, enclosing it at the fetlock, and stretching it out in proper position for shoeing. Up to this stage the horse shoer was enabled to keep at a perfectly sale distance. All danger, now removed he .success fully pared down the hoof and nailed on the shoe. The attachment for hold ing the leg was next adjusted oil the other side and the horse's leg was se cured. Mr. Kerns himself hadjhold of the bar and was adjusting it so as to bring the anmal's leg in the proper position for shoeing, when in an unfor tunate moment, while the bar was not securely held by the key, the stallion attempted to kick, throwing the top of the bar violently outward striking Mr. Kerns on the right jaw. The man reeled under the terrible blow and a moment later it was ascer tained that his jaw was broken. Mr. Kerns was taken to the office of I)r. Stock, where lie received surgical aid, after which be was removed to hi> home on Nassau street. Mr. Kern had his leg broken a few years ago while attempting to shoe a treacherous horse. It seems too bad,indeed,that lie should sustain a second injury, especially while taking every precaution to avoid accident. He will no doubt be incap acitated for business for some time. Hargreaves' Circus. "Of all animals that are trained for circus performances the elephant is the most intelligent." The above state ment is made by an agent of the Thom as Hargreaves railroad circus, which will exhibit in Bloomsburg on Satur day, May 2*> and in Milton, Monday, May 28. This agent ought to know, for lie was formerly a successful train er. Among other things the man said: "Elephants learn with remarkable quickness and they don't show that aversion to their tricks that the anim als of the cat family exhibit. I have seen elephants practice difficult tricks voluntarily—when they didn't know anybody was around. "About seven weeks are required to teach a lion or bear a trick, while a little longer is required to teach a leopard or a tiger. " It is the opinion of this former train er that the above wild animals have even more capacity for learning than the horse. He says that, while a tiger can be taught to walk upon its hind legs in three or four months, it will require as many years to teach a horse to do the same trick. No Crime to Kiss Girl. In a decision rendered by Justice of the Peace Knauss.of Macuugie, it was held that to kiss a girl does not con stitute a crime. The case in question was that of Rev. N. S. Hawk, formerly pastor of the East Greenville United Evangelic al church,who is accused by Miss An nie Schubert, of Powder Valley. She declared that the pastor kissed her against her will. A committee of clergymen acquitted the pastor. He resigned, however. The congregation is divided about the mat ter and disruption is threatened. Base Ball This Summer. The announcement that base ball in Danville this summer is an assured fact will be received with pleasure by the fans hereabouts. DeWitt's park has been secured for the home games and a strong team is being signed. The opening game will be played on Memorial day, for which occasion the management has a num ber of clubs under consideration. The outlook for a good season's sport is first class. A number of the stars who graced the diamond for Danville during former years, will play with the home team again this year. Postmaster Robbed. G. W. Fouts, Postmaster at Riverton, la., nearly lost his life and was robbed of all comfort, according to his letter, which says:"For 20 years 1 had chronic liver complaint, which led t > such a se vere case of jaundice that even my ting er nails turned yellow; when nij doctor prescribed Electric Bitters; which cured me and have kept me well for eleven years.''

RETURNED TO BLOOMSBURG Charles Becker and Fred Connor were brought back to Bloomsburg Monday morning and are now once more lodg ed in the Columbia county jail, but this time they are in separate steel cells on the first tier. Before returning the men to jail they were taken before Justice of the Peace Jacobv and given a hearing on the charge of jail breaking, and each was held in SIOOO bail. Their trial on this charge will not come until their present sentences have bet n served. An enormous crowd of men, women and children gathered at the 8:35 I>. L. & W. train in Bloomsburg yester day morning to see the arrival of the two captured men. The throng follow ed to the justice's office, increasing in numbers as it went,until it resembled a mob. Both the men are in bail con dition, and emaciated, but Connor nevertheless carries his usual loquac ious and talkative manner that borders on the swagger. Becker is gifted with less gray matter than his partner, and assumed an air of careless indiffer ence. Counor Monday threw some light upon their escape by telling that it was at 1 o'clock Wednesday morning that they got out of the jail. The farmer, Batey, with whom the fugitives were talking,when the speci al officers, Fahey and Macken, captur ed them,has been arrested and held iu SIOOO bail for providing Connor with a revolver. It appears he was one of the friends of Connor who had been assisting the men to get away. Lewisburg Sued for Damages. A suit has been filed in the Union county court against the borough of Lew is burg asking damages to the amount of $1.">,000 for tlie death of Jesse Fetter, a young mau ot Wiufield who was ground to pieces under the wheels of a Reading freight train last October at the university siding. Fet ter met a horrible death while driving aloug the road on his way to Lewis burg from Wiufield. He was driving in a buggy and as he neared the univ ersity siding a southbound freight on the Heading caused his horse to plunge down a small embankment onto tin track under the wheels of the train. Fetter was so badly injured that he died at the Sunburv hospital. The plaintiff contends that the borough of Lewisburg is negligent in permitting such a dangerous driveway to exist without guards or auv protection. That when the railroad was construct ed through that section it encroached upon the public road, which was nev er widened, permitting a dangerous condition to exist. At that point the public road is on tfie right of way of the railroad and is not protected by any guard railings, which decisions of the courts insist ar«- necessary. REMOVING A LANDMARK Hon. 11 S. Ammernum has broken ground for a fiuejbaru on the rear of his lot, on Library avenue, to replace the old frame structure that formerly occupied that site. The new building \\ ill be of brick, two stories high, 3.">x2'2 feet and will contain beside stable room, an apart ment for vehicles. A large number ~of brick of lirst quality are on the ground, while a portion of the stable founda tion is already laid. The fine barn will add to appear ances along Library avenue, every building of which is clearly in view from Mill street. Old landmarks are apt to tn:*chor ished with fond sentiment byj some people, but the older the buildings be come the less sightly they appear Tto the great mass of humanity and the more they are aptjto detract from the value of surrounding property. There are a great many of these landmark about Danville in the shape of old barns, some of which are in the very verge of tumbling down. The best the owners can do is to imitate Mr. Am merman's example and get rid of them as soon as possible. Birthday Surprise Party. The home of Mrs. Elizabeth Roat.of Riverside, was the scene of a pleasant surprise party on Saturday last given in honor of her Titt li birthday. Among those present were: Rev. and Mrs. L. D.

These gentlemen attended the annual banquet of the employes' veteran association held in the board of trade building at Harris burg Saturday evening. They were de lighted with the reception given them by the city, which treated the banquet ers,filling four cars,to a ten mile trol ley ride about the city and thence to Reservoir Park, a very beautiful re sort. The banquet was attended by 2<50 employes embraced by the Susque hanna, Eastern and Sunbury divisions of the Pennsylvania railroad.

Mr. Hartmau's industry is very warmly welcomed on the south side as is attested not only by the large num ber of persons applying for positions in the mill, but also by the kind ex pression:- indulged in by the residents, all ol w'nom seem to rejoice in the fact that Mr. Hartnian has succeeded iu se curing such a favorable site. That Mr. Hartnian himself is encouraged goes without saying: the maimer in which lie responds to public sentiment by en larging his plaus shows that he has full confidence in the people and 'in tends to do well by them.

Don't fail to see it. IN NEW ORLEANS? Sam liebnian has just returned from a live \veel;>' business trip, which ex tended as far south as New Orleans. Mr. Rehmati was describing to some frien i> yesterday the marked changes which are noted in a long journey southward from this latitude to the Gulf of Mexico. While frost and ice are still among the possibilities here in New Orleans, he said.they have al readv had seven weeks of midsummer weather with mercury in the nine tie-. Graiu is ripening in the south ern limit of the wheat belt, but as far south a- New Orleans, wheat, rye, etc., are not factors, cotton being the ruling commodity among the pro ducts of the soil. According to Mr. Rebinan's description nothing more interesting to a northern man can be conceived of than the appearance of the almost illimitable area of cotton under cultivation. The city of New Orleans, too, is l novel and has many surprises for the : northern man. The people, conserva tive to a degree, are proud of the past. Instead of keeping up to date, con • forming with standards elsewhere I maiutaine 1, in New Orleans there I seems to be a studied attempt on the : ) part of the people to make everything j appear as old as possible. Hence its a rule 011 the exterior the buildings have ! an ancient and time-worn appearance, ■ while on the inside they are if possi- I Me >t ill more ancient and out of date. This is true not only of the furniture ! in private dwellings but also of the | fixtures aud appointments of public houses. There is by no means a lack of comfort in the city,however, and from the resident's point of view the old city is no doubt very homelike and in viting. The effect of it all on a hustl ing northern man is to produce a feel ing of depression and cause him to feel that he is out of the race. Pleasant Surprise Party. A very pleasant surprise party was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Steinman iu Liberty township, Sa turday evening, in honor of Mrs. Stein man's thirty-ninth birthday.

TO ASSIST THE VETERANS The Sous of Veterans all over tlie union this year, are coming to the front iu a very proinment way to carry out one of the purposes of the order, which is "to honor the memory of the heroic historical exercises anil the proper observance of memorial day and Union defenders' day." Camp Colonel Eckmau.No. 12, S. of V., this city, lias appointed the fol lowing members on a committee to as sist the veterans of Goodrich post, in decorating the graves on Memorial day: Comrades Strickland, Reilly, A. Keilly, Charles Beyers, John Pattou, Charles Gardner, Frank Garrosv, Jesse Weaver. William Wertmau, Edward Aten, Fred Roberts, and Orvis Os wald. The committee will meet with the veterans at the post room on the morn ing of memorial day and will be as signed to the different cemeteries. Eight of the above have been selected as the firing squad to lire three volleys over tlie graves at the close of the ex ercises at the cemetery. They are comrades Pattou, Oswald, Roberts, Aten, Wertmau, Strickland, Gardner and Motteru. Frank Garrow has been appointed as bugler and lie will sound taps at the cemetery ou memorial day. The above sons of veterans, who will actively participate on memorial day, will be uniformed and fully equipped. The ranks of the G. A. R. are eacli year becoming thinner, while those who survive are less able to bear the heat and burden of the day. With each memorial day from now on there will be more and more for the sons of vet erans to do. Appreciating this fact the members of Colonel Eckrnau camp here are very anxious to see their membership increase so as to insure permanauce and prosperity. The local camp was organized some thing over a year ago and has forty five members, which is much too small, considering that there are in Danville and immediate vicinity much over three hundred eligibles. The purposes of the order could not be more noble and patriotic. Briefly set forth they are as follows: To perpetuate the sacrifices of fath ers and their services in maintaining the Union. To inculcate patriotism; to teach truthful history and to spread and sus tain the doctriue of equal rights, un iversal liberty aud justice to all. To help the members of tin G. A. R. and all honorably discharged Union soldiers, sailors and marines; to ex tend aid and protection to their wid ows and orphans. To aid and assist worthy and needy members of the sons of veterans. To he eligible, a person must be a male descendant through paternal or maternal line, not less than 18 years of age, of soldiers sailors and marines who were regularly mustered and serv ed honorably in or who were honor ably discharged from the army or the navy of the United States during the war of 18C1-5. F. M. Herrington is commander and Fred Roberts is secretary of Colonel Eckmau camp, Sous of Veterans. Horse Causes Excitement. A horse belonging to John Dyer, who resides above town, was seized with an attack of colic Saturday night and caused much excitement. The animal was tied in front of Phillips' grocery, when all of a sudden it seem ed to drop to the pavement. The street was thronged with pedestrians, and it was only a few moments until some men took in the situation and succeed ed in unhitching the horse. The an imal soon recovered. The excitement attracted a large crowd of people. Buried at Alt. Vernon. Miss Mary 11.

Spanish War Veterans Attention There will be a meeting of the Span ish war veterans at the armory next Saturday evening at 7:30 o'clock to organize a camp of I uited Spanish war veterans. THE LADIES ARE INTERESTED A number of ladies in the northern part of town, including persons of means and influence, deploring a lack of civic pride which would permit such eyesores to exist.aie trying their best to organize a movement to ab olish the old cemetery on Bloom street. They enlisted Dr. Sweisfort in their enterprise and that gentleman on Fri day night laid the matter before coun cil. The ladies, it was explained, are acting upon advice, which makes it clear that the abolishment of the old cemetery is now feasible and that it can be accomplished without opposi tion. That lip to within a compara tively recent date there were a very few persons still living, owners of burial plots, who strenuously objected to any interference with the*old ceme tery is a well-known fact; it i- now stated, however, that the la-f ol tlies" persons has passed away -that in their latter days they consented t > be buried elsewhere, removing their .opposition to the abolishment of thr burial ground. The ladies who have thus taken the initiative in the new movement ask that the borough council take hold of the matter as flie body properly con stituted to act iLi the premises. The ladies promise their constant support in the enterprise, not only by "solicit ing but by contributing money to meet what expenses may be incurred. The aim is to carry out the plan ou foot but seemingly abandoned some years ago,namely to transform the old i cemetery into a beautiful pnrk. Near- J ly or quite all the bodies that relate intimately to people living hereabout have been removed and interred in other cemeteries. Those which remain have 110 near relatives here and were consigned to the earth many years ago. With the unsightly hollows where the dead have been exhumed, with the leaning tombstones and the neglected aspect of the old graves the disused burial ground presents an appearance which is truly forlorn and depressing. With each succeeding year the spot he- Kins to present a worse apjiearance. The news that there are prospects of getting rid of the nuisance will be hailed everywhere with delight. Council Friday night, took 110 ac tion in the matter, which was a cause of much regret with the ladies inter ested in the movement. The matter will not bo permitted to rest, how ever. It is likely that council will be still further importuned. Meanwhile the ladies interested will do what they can to achieve the desired end, relying upon a generous and progres sive public for support. A CURIOUS PROBLEM. The TreinliliiiK Pillar at Heinis n I'iu/lc to Architect!*. Tin- famous trembling pillar at Keima presents a curious problem to archi tects. The Church UL St. Mcaise is sur rounded with pillars constructed to prevent tin* walls from straining. At the entrance of the church is a bell tower. On one of the bells in this tow er the phenomenon of the trembling pillar dcivnds. When tnis bell is rung or even touched the tup of this pillar sways. It goes j 1 :>d returns about seven incites nn < • eh side, although the base of the pillar is immovable, and the stones are so firmly cemented that it seems like a !• did piece of stone. An i.uti'ority who states that no satis n i:■/ solution of this peculiarity has been v-s writes: "What is very siugiil.-.r i ; that, al: « »::gh the four bells are about t!■ saiee ■ mee from the trembling p . r, u.ih one < them lins any ef.\ ■ t iU. The others may be rung singly of all together without moving it." In 177."> a little window vas made in the r• >f i-f ■ < H«:\ !. ••;>:> ■ * the pil lar. A hoard was i ! ceil on top of the pillar, an 1 vi i; w. .* put two glasses oi water. '•' :: th • bell was rung. Im mediately the pillar began to sway, and at the Cftii stroke of the bell the two glasses were thrown off. The ringing of this bell has no effect on the pillars between the phenomenal one and the tower nor on any of the others, but formerly it was the first pil lar which swayed, then it became Im movable, and some years ago the one next to it became the eccentric one.

SALT METHODS. In the of the Kongo and at Itnli'N Great Lake, One of th sights of the Oreat Salt lube of Utah, developed by the prog ress of scientific industry, Is the sys tem of immense salt making ponds on the shore of the lake. At Saltair the lake water is pumped into a great set tling basin, where the impurities fall to the bottom and, containing much Iron, form a reddish deposit. From this basin the water is drawn off Into "harvesting ponds" averaging 90,000 square yards in area and six inches In depth. The ponds are kept supplied with water, as the evaporation goes on from May to September, when the salt harvest begins. The water havfcig dis appeared. a dazzling layer of salt two ar three inches thick is found covering the bottom of the ponds, which Is bro ken up with plows before being con veyed to the mills, where the final •. rushing and winnowing are done. In general the salt marshes of the Kon <> re ion represent a kind of pock et or rift in the soil. They are to be found In considerable numbers In tlie district of Sam bait, aud there are also ui.:ay of these marshes ou the left bank ol the river Lufubu. The walla of the rifi show first a layer of black i h clay mixed with sand and contain ing numerous quartz and sllex peb bles or more exceptionally black and white six lis. fragments of oyster and mussel. Then comes a layer of strati tied and gray blue schist. The soil of the eepiv-xion also contains schist as the greater constituent and is covered by a layer of sandy clay. In order to collect tie- salt tiie natives dig a fun nel shap l hole from six to ten feet deep. The cavity soon tills up with a warm and clear water, which Is strongly ' -barged with suit. It comes up with considerable pressure, and the liquid see'.ns to boil. The salt Is partly precipitat -d at the bottom of the cav ity and mix s with the soil to form a blackish mud. The latter is washed out ayi tli hot water to extract the salt, which is then crystallized from the so lution. The product which is thus ob tai ;ed is of a salty gray color, aud its taste : ■ n ore alkaline than that of Eu ro; MU s;» It. The l'npnl Ttnra. According to Brewer, the tiara of the pope is u composite emblem. The pri mary meaning is purity and chastity, the foundation and lining of the crown being of the finest linen. The gold band denotes supremacy. The llrst cap of dignity was adopted by Pope Damascus 11. in 1048. The cap was surmounted with a high coronet In 12! 15 by Boniface VIII.
