To the AMERICANIn your is sue of la-t week I noticed a plea to the citizen?, of Montour county upon the > abject of.the township high school. It ha* long been my see such au institution in Valley township,and iu a- much as I have been a teacher in the schools of Valley township for a period «.1 12 years. I desire to urge up uij the farmers of tins township, the jire.it necessity that exists for the in stitution of such a school. Allow me, from my long experience as a county teaciier, to give a picture of the coun try school as it is today. School ojiens about September Ist with children varying from 5 to 10 years of age There are few boys, as the "big" boys do not drop in until November. At thi* time, the average number of pupils, is perhaps 40, and I a— nre you the grading of these pupils i> a puzzling matter. In fact, it is im |iossible for any teacher, no matter how competent, or how willing she may !»•, to do justice to all these chil dren. How well 1 remember my impati ence, because 1 kuew some poor fellow needed particular attention, anil for lu< k of time, he was wasting precious moments. Onlv four months to sjtend in school, and tbe teachers' time so limited, that each "big" boy had to wait his turn. These boys had reach- Mi a jK>int in their lives where some thing more than mere routine work needed; whilst the teacher longed to help, how could she do it with all those little people to keep employed'/ Not long ago I read in your paper the comments of a farmer concerning the scarcity of farm help, how the .........<i/» v\ai u;ti:(-e<i by tiie trol ley and how he left the dull plodding, work on the farm to enter upon an easier and happier life. As I read that article I waxed indignant. Whose fault is it that the average country boy hates the farm and as soon as pos sible leaves home, usually drifting to some town or city to do some menial work for which nature had never in tended him? I say it is the fault of the farmer. He makes the boy dis satisfied and then complains because he leaves the farm. Can a boy of life ami spirit be blam ed for leaving a home that holds no pleasure but hard labor? Will the read er, kindly remember that the writer <if tli is communication has had some experience with these dissatisfied young people and has made a study of the situation. If you are not interest ed in higher education and willing to expend some money in procuring such an education for your boys, then you must exjieet to reap the bitter ex]»eri ence of having your sous leave you and you can either do your own work or trust to hired help. Allow me to suggest a remedy. In the first place, institute a district high school and engage a teacher who is in terested and has some knowledge of farming 1 emphasize the necessity of employing the projier teacher. The country boy must he educated to take an interest in the fnrm. Let him once get some idea of soils and crops and all the other intensely interesting thing- in nature and you will see your sons, not clods, hut gentlemen farm ers. in the highest sense jof the term. Many farmers witli the desire to have their enildreii well educated,send them to town Now everybody knows the excellency of our borough schools, but. no town school can make a farmer. They were not so intended, in fact, it educate- the boy away from the farm. 1 have in mind an excellent man whose sons are graduates of the high school. Not long ago he said to me, "I must leave the farm, I am too old to work. I had hoped one of my boys would farm, but neither like farming." So the farm is in a tenant's care. Farmers, do not wait until your sons are grown, hut goto work at once, and establish a township high school And let me predict that with the splendid chance given free to ev ery boy, by the Pennsylvaiua State college,your township will lie jieopled by a class of scientific farmers, whose broad fertile acres will lie a living testimony to the advantage of the township high school. EX-TEACHER. Aniline Ward. Miss Kabeeca Ward and Antonio Amginn of Bloomsburg were married in this city yesterday afternoon. The nuptial knot was tied by Justice-of the-Peace Dal ton at 2 o'clock. The bride, a very pretty miss of seventeen, was accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Josephine Ward, of Blooiusburg, who witnessed the cere mony. The newly wedded couple re turned to Blooiusburg on the 2 o'clock trolley car LOCUSTS BY THE MILLIONS Tlie visitation of the seventeen-year locusts is proving a grea object lesson to the younger generation, who are permitted to view the voracious in sects for the first time. Persons under twenty-live or thirty years, it is true in their childhood may have seen the locusts hut their recollections are na turally indistinct after the lapse of seventeen years, even if the insects made any impression on their mind. Persons of middle life may have seen the locusts two or even three times and to these they cease to be such a marvel as they appear to younger per sons. although to all classes the seven taen-year locusts are full of interest. No part nt the state seems to be in fested worse with the insects than this immediate vicinity. They have al ready appeared in millions. One ol our town physicians in making a call o.i Bald top in driving up the "dug rud" wa- amazed to find the locusts r lining down from the over-hanging branches into the buggy. He was kept busy brushing the insects from his clothing, two or three of which were found clinging to his clothing at the same time. When he reached home he gathered up a large number that had fallen into the bottom of the buggy and placed them in his office where they have been examined by many per sons. who h:<d only an indistinct idea of what seventeen-year locusts look like. They are big finelv developed speci mens over an inch iu length. The pliysi cian said that the woods on each side of the road, where he encountered the locusts was one ringing chorus of sound,produced by the insects. On one of the w iugs of each locust is a clearly defined "w". In the past among sup erstitious people the "w" found on the locust's wing was generally're garded as presaging war. In as much, however, as the " w is a permanent characteristic of the locust and there is seldom such a long period as seven teen years in which there is not ajwar or a rumor of a war the letter on the locusts' wing may be regarded as an ill omen or otherwise and yet accord with facts. There seems to be a general dread of the locust's sting and yet a well known physician yesterday stated that he was not prepared to say that there are anv well authenticated cases on record in which locusts have stnng persons or, if so, whether any injury has resulted from tbe sting. All seem to agree, lutwever, that the locusts do inflict injury on trees, especially chestnut trees, and there is some fear entertained for the chest nut crop this year. The locusts have many enemies to contend with in the form of birds and domestic fowls and it is hoped that their numbers will be materially re duced. Principal among the birds in the tight against the locust are Eng lish sparrows, robins, woodpeckers, blue birds and pheasants. These birds, it is said,devour the insects before the eggs are laid. Building Demolished. The recent, storm played havoc with the old engine house at the bessemer blast furnace which was left standing ter the large blowing engine, which was considered too valuable to be thrown among the scrap and which the owners hoped to disposed of at a profit. Oue end of the building was blown out and the remaining walls were much weakened by the explosion of dynamite,used in breaking up the two other engines. Early in the spring during high wind the roof was blown off, leaving only the rafters in posi tion. On Saturday afternoon the greater part of tlie remaining walls were blown down, the mass of brick and mortar, aloug with rlie heavy timbers forming the roof system, falling down upon and half concealing the engine. It is believed that the big engine will now he reduced to scrap along with the other machinery of the plant. It would certainly add very much to the appearance of our town if the site were cleared. The spot is an elevated one conspicuous from a good many parts of the borough and our citizens are becoming weary of the uusightlv mass of debris, which is permitted to disfigure a spot at a day when the last trace of dismantling should be re moved. everything in Readiness. The platform lias been placed in posi tion for the corner stone hi3'iug of the Masonic temple at Blooiusburg. Car penters completed the work yesterday and everything ir now in readiness for the laying of the stone today which will be done by Grand Master George W. Kendrick, Jr., amid impressive ceremonies. Already a nuiliber of men promi nent in Masonry have arrived in Bloomsburg and by this morning a large number will have arrived for the; ceremonies. NATIONAL GUARD. There will he no Pennsylvania troops at the big Mt. Gretna camp. Owing to the fact that a Division encamp ment had already been ordered for Gettysburg, the state authorities did uot feel like ordering any part of the ( guard with a second camp. The Third Kegiment volunteered for the service but when the Adjutant General for warded the offer he was told that Penn sylvania. having declined to send troops when the notice was first sent out, her share in the allotment had been given to other states. Handsome Veranda. A very handsome veranda with a base of ornamental stone work is being erected at the residence of Mrs. Boyd, Bloom street. T. L. Evans' Sons are doing the stone work. State Veternariau Leonard Pearson has started a commendable work in his proposed vaccination of cattle against tuberculosis. Stock owners and farmers should give him their hearty co-operation, as the system he follows has been tried with success in other States and after all is a precau tion taken in the interest of public health. DISEASE GERMS IN WATER CRESS State Health Commissioner Dixon has been paying some attention to the investigation of the waters from which cress is taken for food, and in speak ing of what he has discovered, said : "While much attention has been paid to insanitary slaughter house con ditious, it is perhaps not generally ap preciated how great a danger lies in that most inviting of garnishments for daintily served meats and most whole some condiment, the water cress. Un fortunately, however, investigations made by the health authorities of this State show that much of this inviting article of food is seriously polluted from the fact of its having been grown in filthy water. "In one instance of this kind, the cress bed was found directly in the rear of a small hotel in a limited body of water having a very sluggish cur rent which received most objection able drainage from that source. Sam ples of the water collected showed the following results : That,collected about three degrees below the surface of the water in an open space in close prox imity to the cress showed the pres ence of 36,000 bacteria per cubic cen timeter, among which were a number of those always present in water suspected as being the cause of typhoid fever. "Another sample collected from tlie same place showed in peptone solution 540,000 bacteria. A hand full of the cress collected at this point and wash ed in water which had been sterilized and boiled for half an hour was found to contain more than twice as many bacteria in a given quantity than war found in the water itself before treat ment. In fact, they were found in such enormous quantities that it was a mat ter of considerable difficulty to even estimate their number. It was really, however, almost unnecessary to make these tests at all, as on the under side of the leaves and along the stem> a yellow glutenous material was found strongly adherent which would not have been removed by any ordinary washing in preparation for the table. "Further investigation with regard to the industry of cultivating water cress, which in this State is a very considerable one, the product being shipped to all the large cities of the north, showed that a most objection able procedure was resorted to in or der to produce a large and succulent leaf. This was withdrawal of tiie water from the bed at the time of sew ing the seed and depositing manure directly upon the bottom of the pond. This was allowed to remain quite a considerable time before water was again allowed to flow in and cover the bottom. There did not appear to lie in the minds of the cultivators any difference between the use of manure on ttie surface of the ground and in the water in which these plants grew, but it can readily be seen how great are the chances of serious pollution of vegetables thus nourished." First Steel Passenger Car. The tirsst «iroi /WH»!I ever made wan turned out Saturday morn ing by the A. C. and F. shops, at. Ber wick. The car is built entirely oi steel, and is a most beautiful speci men of car construction. While it is not, strictly speaking, a parlor car, it is nevertheless as sumptuous and ele gant as a great many of that class.hav ing ladies' and gentlemen's retiring rooms, etc. The furnishings and other equipment of the car are also of a most handsome order. The car was open for the public in spection Sunday at Berwick, and will be sent to Atlantic City to enter the exhibit held by the Master Mechanics' and Car Builders' National conven tion, to meet there this week. This car is the first, of an order of 12.3 to be constructed for the New York Central railroad. While steel has been used to some extent in car construc tion, this is the first time an entire passenger car has been so huilt. These cars will be much stronger than old style wood cars. "Prepare to Meet Thy (iod." "Prepare to meet thy God" is the inscription painted in big white let ters on a huge rock along the road leading to the White Haven consump tive sanitorium. While the inscription was placed there for a worthy pur pose many people are of the belief that it is likely to do more harm than good. Many of the prospective patients of the sanitorium must pass the rock when goiug to the institution and the inscription is apt to greatly discour age them and thus retard their recup eration. Patients going from the hos pital into White Haven must also pass the rock and with a cemetery not more than 50 yards on the opposite hill their mind is constantly drawn to the pros- ! pect of death. Flowers Adorn Hany Homes. There is nothing that adds more to the beauty of a home than flowers. In side or outside, they are a delight to the eye and a suggestion of pleasanter thoughts when the mind is distracted by business or household cares. Many people are now recognizing that the presence of vines and flowers is as necessary to the enjoyment of summer life as are porches. In almost every part of Danville and Riverside there has been flower planting with the increase in the number of attrac tive homes. The reward of such trou ble is now apparent in the superb clusters of roses, honeysuckles and wistaria which adorn many houses. M. S. Bond Improving. Moses S. Bond, of Chulasky, who was down with an attack of pneumo nia, is lowly recovering. Ho is -till very weak and it will be some time before he can leave his room. II i> many friends about Danville will hear of his recovery with great delight. Fun Ahead for Editor Smith. The Philadelphia Record says: Ed itor G. Scott Smith, James Blackwell and Robert M. Sallada, ol Jersey Shore, are planning a trip across the Atlantic in a steel motor boat, and their friends are inclined to believe there will be fun ahead J. T. BUCHANAN AWARDED CONTRACT J. T. Buchanan & Co. on Saturday were awanleil tlie contract for the con struction of tho building to li ouse the heat, litflit and power plant being in stalled at the hospital for the insane and they broke ground for the struc tuie Monday morning. Dr. Shoemaker,of Wilkes-Barre; W. F. Shay, of Watsontown, and C. G. YanAlen, of Northumberland, mem bers of the building committee, along with Dr. Meredith and H. M. Schoch, of tliis city, were the ouly trustees that were present at the meeting Sat urday. Theie were only two bidders, D. .1. Rogers, of this city, and .T. T. Buchanan of Philadelphia, who has the contract for the heat, light and power plant. The contract for the building was awarded to .T. F. Buchanan & Co. as the lowest bidders. Mr. Buchanan arrived at Danville on Friday evening and left for home on the 7 :51 Pennsylvania train Satur day night. lie spent the entire day at the hospital Saturday and was much pleased with the progress made in the work of wiring, etc., a full description of which was given in these columns on Saturday. Before leaving Mr. Buchanan told a representative of the paper that it was his intention to push work on the building along as rapidly as possible. The work of excavating will begin this morning and unless plans fail the building will be com pleted in three month's time. The seventy three men employed by Buch anan & Co. will be augmented by oth er accessions of workmen as the work progresses. The building will be constructed of concrete and will be *looxo4 approxi mately. It will contain a boiler room 46x04; a pump room 16x44 feet; an engine room 31x44 leet. Williamsport Centennial. There will not be a dull moment at the centennial celebr ition at Williams port, July 3rd and 4th, but one of the spectacular features of the gorgeous carnival on the evening of July 3rd will be the carnival queens and their retinue of attendants and sol diers. Real queens, attired iu the costumes of long ago,awl just as pretty as any throne queens dared be. The queens will begin the carnival by call ing on the mayor and surreptitiously acquiring custody of the key of the city—and then the fun'll begin. On the 4th a splendid program will be carried out,ami the fireworks at night will be the finest ever. Special rates on all railroads. New Factory Law Saving Lives. Factory Inspector Jonathan W. Davir< of Luzerne county, in his report for the last six mouths declares that the enforcement of the new factory law has reduced the number of accidents in factories 70 per cent, ami the num ber of children employed HO per cent. He savs: "In one particular factory, before the present child labor law became ef fective, there were employed 125 chil dren under the age of 16 and there was an accident daily. Theso little ones were forced to work by the piece, and what they made in one week would not keep the shoes on their feet. And yet they worked on,some being maim ed for life and others disfigured. 'But since the new law became op erative not one of these children can be found in the mill, not a single ac cident has been reported during the tirst -ix months of the year, and the employer is compelled to pay the girls decent wages. Other examples of a similar nature could be cited. The re form is one of the most benefichil that could be inaugurated." Almost Shocked to Death. Miss Helen Sterling, one of the "hello" girls in the U. T. & T. ex change, at Shamokin, had a narrow escape from death Saturday when five hundred volts of direct current elec tricity passed through her body. She was rendered unconscious and remain ed in that condition for several hours. The cause of the accident was a cross of the Shamokin Extension Company's and the telephone company's wires near Weigh Scales. In stretching the trolley wire from the Tharptowu end of the line, the wire was spliced and then fastened to the mast arms of the polos by wire instead of the iusolated bells as are usually used. The telephone company's wires lay on the mast arms and when the current was turned on the new part of the line, the telephone wires were at once charged and the current was flashed into the exchange. It en tered the exchange on the board con ducted by Miss Sterling. The force of the current was so great that she was thrown backward from hor chair un conscious to the floor. A physician was summoned and for three hours the young lady was worked with before she regained her senses. Splendid Advice. We are about to enter upon a more or less interesting and exciting cam paign in the state of Pennsylvania. In reference to this fact the South Beth lehem Globe philosophically declares that "in days of political strife it is well to remember that after all we are just a baud of brothers here 011 earth, traveling from the cradle to the grave We live side by side, we attend churches together, most of us, our children attend the same school and after the smoke of the battlejhas clear ed away we will still be friends and neighbors." And then the Globe ad vises that "the bitter things go un said." Splendid advice; would that we might all live up to it.

Bell, Esq., has entered a suit for SIO,OOO damages at the court at Bloomsburg, against the E. V. Coal company. His client is Mrs. Catherine Carr, whose son, James, a doortender under 14 years of age, lost his life in one of the company's mines last year at Centralia. LIGHTNING STRIKES IN MANY PLACES What is regarded by alias the heavi est shower that ever visited this sec tion passed over Danville Saturday af ternoon. Immense damage was wrought by the lightning, while the rain was a prolnged downpour, which was lit tle short of a cloudburst. The storm came up about 4 o'clock and was most angry and threatening in appearance. The clouds filled the entire western sky along with portions of the northern and southern horizon. As the great pall of black clouds roll ed up to the zenith, it became as dark as night and lights had to be turned 011. Even the streets were dark and with the lightning darting about,with thunder following peal on peal and winds blowing with almost cyclonic fury it was enough to awe and appall any one. The downpour of rain lasted for near ly forty-five minutes. The streets were transformed into rivers and the piping on the houses at many places being overtaxed the water poured down ov er tin 1 eaves in sheets. No part of the borough probably fared as bad as Bloom street, where the gutters prov ed utterly inadequate to carry off the water. The P. & It. crossing on Bloom street resembled a dam as the water poured down over it carrying along immense quantities of red earth wash ed down from the hill above. Above the crossing the water poured in on abutting properties, flooding cellars and doing other damage. The residence of George Handel north of Bloom street, just beyond the borough line, was struck by lightning and the inmates slightly shocked. The lightning struck on the west side of the house near the roof and performed a very singular prank. On the outside it tore off a weather board splintered the window frame and tearing off the window casing on the inside hurled it across the room and stood it upright on a bed. Several members of the household were slightly shocked while all received a fright that they will not forget very soon. At Strawberry Ridge the lightning struck the residence of Samuel Moser, tearing off a weather board, splinter ing a plank from the eaves to the ground and knocking off the plaster on the inside of the house. Harvey Shultz, a neighbor who had taken re fuge there during the storm, was bad ly shocked by the lightning, one of his arms being temporarily paralzyed. The barn on the farm owned by Ja cob Snyder and tenanted by Jerry Black in Derry township was struck by lightning. Fortunately it did not ignite, although the barn is very bad ly shattered and damaged by the shock. The residence of William Derr at Morlaud.some distance from Exchange was struck but little damage was wrought. A large tree at Jesse Hart man's at Exchange was also struck along with a Western Union telegraph pole in the neighborhood. The large barn on the Fruit farm at Turbotville, ou which Charles Miller is tenant,was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. The stock was saved,hut the farming implements be longing to the tenant were destroyed. The barn was one of the largest and handsomest in Northumberland coun ty, being built of ploughed and groov ed boards and was valued at uearly S3OOO. The tenant carried a small in surance, but it is thought that the barn was not insured. The owner lives in New York City. At Rohrsburg the barn on the farm of William M. Reese, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. The farm is ocupied by Alfred Reese, the son,who in trying to save the live stock was badly burned. The loss is estimated at some s2ooo,partly covered with insurance. From every side damage is reported. The big grand stand 011 the base ball ground at DeWitt's park was blown over by the terrible gale. The struct ure went over bodily, the posts which support it, on one side being lifted out of the ground. On Carr's farm a short distance below Kipp's run a big tree was blown across the Pennsyl vania railroad track. The West bound passenger train, which is due to arrive at South Danville at 4 ::J1 p. 111. was held up at the spot long enough for the crew to chop the trunk of the tree through removing a section which re sembled a saw-log and left a space wide enough to clear the cars. All about town were to be seen evid ences of the cyclonic wind that accom panied the storm. Along every street were to be seen scattered around limbs of trees that had been broken off by the wind. At the new culvert on Bloom street just above the borough line a heavy washout occurred, which damaged one of the sidewalks very badly. Many of the fields throughout the county are very badly washed by the heavy downpour. The barn on the farm of William Chrisman near .Terseytown was struck by lightning Sunday afternoon and completely destroyed along with sev eral tons of hay and a quantity of grain, etc. The wagon shed attached to the barn was also destroyed but the farm machinery as well as the live stock was saved. The farm is tenant ed by Peter Walter. The barn was a new one just completed last week. The loss is estimated at SISOO. There was a thousand dollars insurance on ' the building. During the storm Saturday Mrs. Aimer Evans and two children of Fowlerville, between Bloomsburg and Berwick, were shocked by lightning and for a while lay insensible. The I husband of Mrs. Kvans was a candid | ate and was absent at the primary elec- I lion. I Thousands annually bear witness to the efficiency of liarly Risers.

Schram, treasurer of the Dan ville school district, Friday receiv ed the warrant for the state appropria tion due the district for the school year ending on the first Monday of June. The fact was announced that the State Treasurer this year would pay off the state appropriation immediate ly, in the order in which the reports from the various districts were re ceived. In order that the Danville dis trict might be among those lirst serv ed especial pains were taken by our school board to get its reports to Har risburg without any unnecessary de lay. Upon being adopted Monday uight the report was at once signed by the officers of the board and early Tuesday morning was dropped into the post office. Such prompt action on the part of the department, however, was not an ticipated. It is,indeed,a record break er. Last year the state appropriation was not paid until October 24th and the year previous, until December 21st. In 1903 it was paid on December 3rd. The State appropriation this year for Danville district is $6038.77. This is slightly less than last year when it amounted to $6066.29. The regular annual appropriation to schools—the gross amount of which is $5,550,000—was made by the legislat ure at its session of 1905. From the gross amount the legislature deducted $237,500 for the State normal schools and SIOO,OOO for township high schools, leaving $5,212,500 for the common schools. As 1905 was the year for the bienni al return of the number of regularly employed teachers and of children be tween six and sixteen years of age there are new bases for the distribu tion of two-thirds of the appropria tion. In consequence of this change ! of bases the amounts due the several districts throughout the State have been changed, some receiving more, others less, than the previous year. Unless the increase iu the number of teachers and children in a district is in proportion to the increase in the State at large, the district receives less appropriation than in 1905.

Ostrander is a uew book, which is bound to prove interesting to the residents of this section. That there is a vast amount of interesting data available for such a book has long been obvious enough, while all persons instinctively turned to O. 11. Ostrander as the one man qualified for writing such a history. He has faithfully performed the task. The book starts out with a sketch of the "First settlers " In 1756, it is stated, all this section was a wilder ness with here and there the rude home of a pioneer. The nearest settle ment on the west was Shamokintown. Ten miles down the river at the junc tion of the two branches, where Sun bury stauds King George the Third had built Fort Augusta to protect the settlers against the Indians. Ten miles further up the river was Catawissa. About half way up the north branch in 1772, the Montgomery, Seehler, Frazier, and Maus families took up lands and formed what was known as Montgomery's landing. An outline of the town's subsequent history is giv en, which brings the reader up to the construction of the 1). 11. & W. rail road on the opposite side of the river, following which a syndicate was form ed by well known persons among whom were E. W. Conkling, F. C. Derr, John W. VonNieila, and O. 11. Ostrander, for the purpose of securing land on that side of rhe rive* to be sold as building lots. From this point on the history of Riverside is crowded with events. The first dwelling was erected on Avenue D,near First street, by William Spotts, May land was occupied the same year. The book contains the cuts of the river bridge, Riverside School house, South Danville school building, P. O. S. of A. hall, St. Peter's M. E. church, First M. E. church, now Grace P. E. church, the latter especially being a very clear and distinct cut, which gives things the appearance of reality. The history is most complete and enters fully into details. Under tho head of "houses erected" not only if. the name of the building given but the year in which the house was con structed along with the section and the avenue. The full history of each church is given and the full history of each school along with a list of the teach ers auil the year they were employed. Iu fact not a department of life is omitted and the history is a perfect record from the time the town was laid out until the present. Following The Flag.

The growth of the township high scliool idea throughout the counties of the State has been very gratifying to many people interested in educa tion and it is good to note that there is a prospect of schools of that type being organized in Montour county. The township high school tills an important place in education in the rural districts, for it brings the ad vantage of higher education to com munities whose young people would otherwise have to JJO to normal or private schools or else take a course of study at home, which too frequently the student can not afford. The State makes a liberal appropriation for such schools, and if they increase in num ber will be still more generous Their cost to the district wherein they are situated is small considering the good j they do, and it is to be hoped that ; township high schools will speedily j be organized in Montour county.

As stated in these columns the home team was to make its first appearance in its new uniforms presented bv the Moxie Nerve Food Co. Some one had said that new uniforms never won a game, but that saying surely went wrong yesterday for the way that the grey and blue went after everything was a delight to the local rooters. Bibby and Hum mer were in the points for Danville and the battery work was up to the standard. Bibbv, on one or two oc casions got himself into a hole by al lowing two or three men to get on bases with no one out, but invariably pulled himself together and prevented his opponents from scoring. While the hits were about even, Danville bunch ed theirs and tallied while Blooms burg were too much scattered to bring runs across the plate. Deeu and Logan each made a two bagger but Deeu also i bad two singles, which aided materi ally in the run getting. Clay, who pit-lied for Bloomsburg retired in the fifth inning and Rabb was substituted and his wildness was i"sponsible for another run or two. The satnete&uis played at Bloomsburg yesterday and a groat crowd from Dan vi Yle wit- I nessed the game. The scor follows : BLOOMSBI'RO. 11, H. O. A. E. Price, cf ... .< I l 1 0 0 Schaffer, ss ....
