THREE BARNS DE- !
STROYED BY LIGHTNING
An electrical .storm of unprecedented
severity passed over this section Mon
day afternoon. The novvn ]iour of
rain was a perfect deluge, the light
ning played all sorts of capers while
the thunder following peal upon peal
resembled the tiring of heavy artillery.*
Altogether the effect was most trying
to persons of weak nerves.
The first shower came up about
noon Monday and the bulk of it
passed around northward. It was ac
compauied by very vivid lightning
and heavy thunder. During this show
er the barn of Clarence Sliultz, situat
ed on the road leading from Straw
berry ridge to Jersevtown was struck
by lightning and burned to the ground.
All the live stock was saved with the
exception of a calf, which perished in
the lire The season's crops however
with the exception of the oats, which
was not yet housed, was destroyed
with the barn. The building was in
sured in the Millville Fire Insurance
com] lany.
About two o'clock the second and
more severe storm began to gather.
It came directly from the west and
presented a dark and threatening front
as it spread out over the heavens. As
the result probably of the intense
heat of tin last couple of days tho air
was heavily charged with electricity.
No sooner had the storm burst in all
its fury than the lightning became
nearly one continuous glare, frequent
ly playing through the interior of the
buildings accompanied by snapping
sounds or reports that resembled the
discharge of a pistol, while all the
time crashing peals of thunder follow
ed each other quick succession.
The down pour of rain was tremen
dous. Bloom street lielow the I'. it R.
crossing was again Hooded as 011 Sat
urday night, while elsewhere through
town the gutters were overtaxed and
the streets looked like miniature riv
ers.
It was during the second storm that
the heaviest damage was wrought by
the lightning. The house belonging
to Alfred Blecher, Bloom road, was
struck by lightning, but did not take
lire. The chimney was demolished,
shingles .knocked off the roof and sev
eral weather boards wrested from the
side of the house. The family alt hough
badly frightened escaped injury.
The bam ot Mrs. Susan Berger, Lib
erty township, was struck by light
ning and destroyed with the season's
crop of hay. The live stock was saved.
The barn of Homanus Mull, also in
Liberty township, was struck and
burned to the ground. The live stock
also was saved,but the season's crops
with the exception of the oats went
up in smoke along with the barn.
Mrs. Berger's barn is a little off from
the Milton road about two miles this
side of Pottsgrove, while the barn of
Komanns Mull is 011 the bill to the
right of the road, scarcely a mile
away from the Berger farm.
During the heaviest part of the
shower the lightning struck and set
on fire a shock of oats on the Maus
farm Mausdale. The dashing rain was
not sufficient to extinguish the tire,
and the oats burned to ashes. In this
city the lightning struck a large
tree on the premises, Spruce street,
occupied by D. C. Williams, the slat
er. The tree was a large one bending
full of apples,but it was leveled to the
ground 113* the bolt of lightning.
Miss Jennie Reicheuback, who lives
in the family of J. W. Phillips, was
descending from the third story of the
Schuster building when the storm was
at its worst Sho was shocked by the
lightning and rendered helpless while
011 the stairs.
The residence of George Ruckel at
Summer hill near Berwick was struck
by lightning and badly damaged, al
though it did not take lire. The oc
cupants escaped serious injury al
though they were all slight ly shocked.
Trolley Line a Honey Maker.
Then- is again talk of building the
trolley railroad from Sunbury to Sha
mokin. "Farmer" Kulp has never
given up the idea and Manager Calla
han, ol this city, is a great believer
in the money earning power ol the
proposed line. It is reported that
these two gentlemen have pooled
their issues in regard to building the
road. II this is a fact the line will
come and that at 110 distant day.
There is 110 question that the road
would carry a large number of people
and it would not be a very expensive
line to construct—Sunbury Daily.
Affairs at Exchange.
Hon. L. \V Welliver of Exchange
drove down to this city yesterday and
spent several hours very pleasantly
chatting with friends at the county
sent
Mr. Welliver says that David Mc-
Carty of M< Kee's Heights who cut his
foot so badly a couple of week's
it is feared, will lose the use of that
memlier. It will be recalled that Mr
McCarty wa- battling with a hornet's
nest and -tepjied backward into the
cradle scythe. Pefore he could extri
cate his foot, which was fast between
the scythe and the first finger of tin
cradle, the muscle or tendon was sev
end.
Mr Welliver also rejxirts that the
foundation for the new bank is now
reailj' for the wall and that stone and
brick are both on the ground.
The other new buildings at Ex
change, in number, are very rapidly
approaching completion. Each of the
dwellings is a very fine structure and
will be quite all Olliaill'llt to the
place. The owners of the new build
ings are Thomas Sharon, John Ritter
and John Deiinen.
SINDAY FISHING.
W. F, Reuthcr, one of the aspirants
for tin- democratic nomination for a
senibly in Reading, deuies that he is
in favor of introducing the continent
al Sabbath in this State, but lie says
In' does Ixdieve workinginen ought to
have the privilege of fishing on Sun
day. There are -eetions of the state
111 which a candidate on that platform
would not win.
KP THE
GUTTERS CLEAN
The down pour of rain, Monday,
along with the several heavy showers
that preceded it, served to reveal the
bad condition of many of the gutters
about town, which resulted in the
water pouring over the sidewalks and
draining into the cellars. Tuesday a
shyft stroll 111 any pari of town show
ed where the water had dom damage!,
washing the sidewalk or depositing
mud upon it.
Some excuse is found 111 the fact
that the frequent and heavy rains
just now occurring are unprecedented
and that the gutters, so frequently
overflowing, would prove adequate for
normal conditions. At the same time
the fact remains that many of the gut
ters are half filled with a deposit of
ground in addition to which there is
a growth of weeds, that helps to ob
struct the passage of water. The 1111-
sightliness of the thing would be bad
enough,even if it did not cause trouble
in times of heavy rain.
Upon whom the duty devolves of
keeping the gutters open and clean is
a question concerning which there
seems to be difference of opinion. The
orougb ordinance on gutters unfortu
nately is not very specific. The nearest
it comes to settling the question i< in
section 5, when it states that "it
shall be the duty of the owner or own
ers of all lots within the limits of tin'
borough of Danville in front of which
pavements,footwalks and gutters have
been constructed aifd laid down to
keep the same in good repair at any
and all times.''
The construction placed upon the
ordinance by the borough has always
been to the effect that "keeping the
gutters in good repair "is to preserve
them in such form that they will prop
erly perform their function and that
this clearly implies keeping the gut
ters clean and preventing the growth
of weeds. The matter, however, lias
never been put to issue and so it hap
pens that many persons are looking to
the borough to clean the gutters and
the latter in turn is looking to the
property owners or occupants to at
tend to that duty.
What helps to create confusion is
the fact that the street commissioner
at intervals is observed to clean out
gutteis, hero and there about town,
hauling away the accumulation. The
borough authorities explain this ac
tion by stating that the conditions re
lating to those places at' wholly
anomalous and that 111 those cases any
thing the property owner or occupant
could do unaided by the borough
would not bring about proper results
Bad condition of the streets is often
responsible for clogged-up and unsiglit
ly gutters, while there are other in
stances when the borough considei it
its duty to step in and take hold of
the work as when damage is caused
by rains that cause a great deal of
washing.

(Juiet Picnic fluch Enjoyed.
The deaf mutes of Montour, North
umberland and several adjoining
counties in this district held their an
nual meeting and picnic; at Edge wood
Park, Shamokin, Saturday. Although
somewhat handicapped they played
their games and made merry with as
great, if not greater, enjoyment than
their more fortunate brethren. Their
base ball game was as violently con
tested as any in the old High Hat
League, and if the umpire was not so
loudly abused by wotd of mouth, em
phatic and significant gestures by tie
crowd showed the unfortunate official
just as strongly that he could expect
an immediate and violent death if his
decisions didn't straightway improve.
An interesting program was render
ed. Speeches were made in the mute
sign language on various subjects,
which were fully comprehended and
enjoyed by the large crowd. The most
important, speech was made by the
Rev. Smileau.of Williamsport, a spec
ial missionary of the Harrisburg dio
cese of the Protestant Episcopal
church. He himself is a deaf mute and
thus comes in more intimate and sym
pathetic contact with thost similarly
afflicted than would be possible other
wise.

cided to hold the outing at Edgewood

HJ. (IENF.ML GOBIN
THIS OH ARMORY
Major General J. I*. S. Oobin, while
in this citv Tuesday in a conversation
with Captain J. 15. Gearhart gave
some valuable pointers as to how the
town might proceed with advantage
if it ilesires to obtain an armory.
In the first place it may not be gen
erally known that the allowance due
next year will build some 25 or ;!0 ar
mories in the State The fact was
made pretty clear by General Gobi 11
that if Danville fails to get one of
these handsome buildings it will be
largely through its own indifference.
As a first step if was recommended
that the town secure a suitable site,
which free of cost can be presented to
the State. The site, which should
lie at least sixty-six by a hundred
feet, need by no means be the most
xpensive ground in town. Having se
cured the site tho next step advisable
is togo before the armory commission
with substantial proof that a suitable
site has been secured —that the town
is willing to assist to that extent in
order to obtain an armory. It is true,
it was not the intent in framing the
law that tlie town or city should fur
nish the site, but the fact remains
that 111 those cases where armories
have thus far been located the towns
or cities have given the ground. En
terprise and civic pride should prompt
citizens to make the small sacrifice
needed to secure a building of so much
importance free, one that will repre
sent such an expenditure of money and
stand as an ornament to tho town.
If our citizens will hustle a little and
! secure the ground General Gobin
i stated he did not see why Danville
| should not be one of tlie towns that
would secure an armory next year.
I The armories may be built of brick
1 or stone,which ever is the most easily
and cheaply obtained in the locality.
Provision must lie made for quarter
master's apartment, with lockers for
I officers and men, reading and loung
ing room, library, lavatory and bath
room,which may contain shower bath
and swimming pool, also drill shed
occupying the rear. There is no fixed
style ol architecture and the buildinsr
liiav be safely left in the hands of any
local architect of reputation.

Hi BHULTZ VIEWS
WEIRD SPECTACLE
The heavy clinical shower, Mon
day afternoon, which over a radius of
eight miles from Danville struck at
least 1 dozen places and left three
burning barns and two shattered
dwellings in its wake, has gone on
record not only as being the most se
vore that ever visited this section, hut
also as being accompanied by the
queerest manifestation of the electric
fluid that w;i evi r 1 ird of
Many people in Danville were quite
unnerved by the pranks played by the
lightning, which seemed to be every
where present, manifesting itself even
in the interior of closed buildings
and causing among the occupants a
folding of the greatest insecurity and
alarm. All those pranks, however,
wore eclipsed by the remarkable man
ifestation of the lightning that occur
red when the barn ol' Clarence Shultz
was struck 011 Monday afternoon.
Mr Shultz,who is a man of unques
tioned veracity, yesterday morning
gave a full description of tho phenom
enon to J. W Lowrie.a neighbor, who
in turn later in the day related the
affair to a Morning News representa
tive.
Mr. Shultz said the heaviest part of
the storm had passed over He was
standing out of doors where both the
house and barn were clearly in view.
All ol a sudden he noticed a great
ball of fire nearly a.- large as a bushel
basket floating down from the sky al
most over head. Although appalled
by the spectacle and realizing the
danger to which he was exposed, yet
he closely observed the movements of
tho great luminous ball Its progress
was not swift Mr. Shultz's first im
pression was that the the house was
in danger, but when the ball of fire
fell to within about sixty foot of the
earth it seemed to hang suspended for
a moment, about midway between the
house and barn. It was only for a
moment, however, for almost before
Mr. Shultz could realize what had
taken place the areat luminous ball
was speeding off toward the barn. He
distinctly saw it as it struck the mid
dle of the roof halfway between the
comb and the eaves and heard the
sound of splintered timbers as i t
broke the heavy rafters and produced
n hole in the roof large enough to ad
mit a horse.
Then all was still if may have been
only for a moment, but Mr. Shultz's
impression was that it was longer,
lie was just congratulating himself
that it was a cold stroke" and 110
material damage would ensue,when a
terrilic explosion occurred that seemed
to rend heaven and earth ; one side of
the barn was torn out, the, weather
hoards being hurled over >ll the lawn
of the dwelling, while with it all was
a great mas- ol lire, which in a -ingle
instant seemed t* envelop tin- whole
barn

At the meeting Walter Lovett and
Joseph Divel will be chosen captains

captains will choose sides, selecting

remain in the hall. Each of the lead

effort to raise funds for tho association
are not returning as fast as was ex

as the general secretary are not at all
encouraged and do not know whether
to attribute the slow response to mere
neglect or to a general lack of interest
in the V. M C. A. and a disposition
not to contribute to its support. Those

Death of Samuel Brittain.
Samuel Brittain, a widely known
resident of Derry township died sud
denly Saturday morning.
The deceased was not in good health
for a year past. He complained fre
quently of shortness of breath, hut in
every instance he rallied without
much difficulty and was generally able
to assist at the farm work. On Friday
morning he drove into Danville and
during the afternoon he helped to
[ shock oats. Friday night he went to
bed as usual. On Saturday morning
about :s o'clock he arose and went out
onto the porch. He finally returned to
! bed. He conversed for a few minutes
1 with his wife, but did not intimate
that he was not felling as well as us
ual The very next moment he began
to snore loudly and Mrs. Brittain
thinking it strange that he should
have fallen asleep so soon made an in
vestigation. She was unable to obtain
an answer from her husband or to
arouse him. She quickly called John
1 Brittain, a brother, who resides with
the family, but the united efforts of
the two were unavailing and the de
ceased passed away almost immediate
ly without regaining consciousness.
Samuel Brittain was about K2 years
of age. He was a good citizen and
enjoyed the confidence and esteem of
his neighbors. During his time he was
township supervisor and member of
the school board.
He is survived by his wife and three
children: Dora (Mrs. (filbert Raup);
Ida (Mrs. William Cooper); William
Brittain, who resides at home. Mrs.
William Lobach is a sister of the de
ceased.

COBBING THE
STATE HIGHWAY
It is a matter of surprise and also of
regret t|i»t the State highway in Ma
honing and Valley townships connect
ing the borough of Danville with
Mausdale, condemned as falling short
of specifications, are permitted by the
contractors to lie so long without be
ing completed in a way to conform
with requirements. This is especially
true of the highway in Mahoning
township, which was begun in 1'.»04,
and which was condemned by a repre
sentative of the State highway de
partment. To bring this highway up
to specifications the entire section, a
mile or so in length, will have to be
recrowned. A retainiug wall will al
so have to be built and ditches will
have to be dug aloug side the road.
Late last fall the Maryland construc
tion company sent a force of men here
to complete the highway. They chang
ed the location of some heavy pipe
sunk in the road near the fair ground
and did some other work when winter
sot in and they were forced to abandon
the road. It was thought they would
reappear last spring and put the crown
on the road but the summer is well
under way and nothing is being done.
Meanwhile the heavy traHic is wear
ing away the unfinished road. The
question seems to be whether another
winter shall be permitted 10 pass with
out the road being completed so as to
enable it to withstand freezing and
thawing conditions.
Whatever the deficiencies may be in
the road it is gratifying that both the
eouuty and the township are 011 the
safe side, having paid over only a more
modicum of the money required of
them. The total cost of the road is
given at $8,279.07. The township has
as yet paid only #IOO of its share of
the cost, some $1,400; the county lias
paid sti(H>, but as there is still a bal
auce of $764.84 duo from this source it
will he seen that the county has ample
opportunity of squaring itself 011 the
proposition. Both the county com
missioners and the township supervis
ors are emphatic in the assertion that
they will pay over 110 more money un
til the highway is finished to comply
with specifications.
How much money the contractors
have gotten from the State is not
known here. Tlie amount contributed
by the county and township to the
cost of building under the art of 1905
is remitted to the State treasurer. The
whole proposition is now up to the
State highway department, which has
' the contractors to deal with.
P. K. Maus, ono of the Valley town
ship supervisors,states that the section
of highway in Valley township like
, wise falls short of specifications and
| will not be accepted in its present
| form. For this section of the highway
—constructed last fall—neither the
eouuty nor Valley township has ro
i 111 it ted one cent of its allotment of the
cost and the intention is to withhold
payment until the highway is com
pleted in a way that will meet approv
