This y ieyy ys as also held by one of the eng ineers of the State highway depart ment, who met with council about a month ago. Had if not been that the purl im of the recmist ructeil street that the borough would have to pay for was limited to about one half the width,ir is doubtful if council would have seen it way clear to enter upon the im provement at th i- t line Last week a communication was re ceived from the State highway depart ment -tat ing that the bornngh was un der a wrong impri-sion that the State under the act could pay for recon structing only three fourth- of If. feet in width instead ot three fourthsof 20 feet This couimuuiention, which was lead at a special meeting last week, jarred the couucilinen considerably With the State paying tnr only twelve feet the bornngh would have to meet the c. .-t nf l*i 'ci II i.-t I net ing si line .'0 feel Tin additional cost vya- considerable and fi.rawhih the fat' nt tin North Mill street improvement hung in the balance. Cmuicil finally decided togo on vv it Ii tbe work In the communication received yes terday tin State highway department completely reverses itself alld states that the understanding now is that tin . tati will pay lot ihrc fourths of the cost of reconstructing a road 20 feet in width.

IE HARASSED BV BARS For the second time within a few weeks burglars attempted to rob the home of George Deibert, in Toby Kuu hollow, early Tuesday morning. | The thieves were prevented from accom plishing their designs only by the timely awakening of Mrs. Deibert and the barking of the watch dog. On the occasion of the tirst attempt to burglarize the Diebert home th robbers had already gained admittance to the house, when Mrs. Deibert was awakened by the presence of the men in her room. This occurred just three weeks ago. Tuesday morning about 2 o'cloc Mrs. Deibert, who steeps in a back room down stairs, beard a peculiar scratching noise iu the front of the house. She quietly called the dog,and the animal upon hearing the sound be gan to bark furiously and to run back and forth through the lower part of the house. Mr. Deibert was awaken ed by the barking, but made only a casual investigation,thiuking'his wife had been mistaken. Tuesday morning, however, when the front of the house was opened, the work of the burglars was clearly dis cernable. They had taken a cushion off a porch chair and placed it under neath one of the windows of the room directly in front of the apartment us ed by* tlie Deiherfs as a sleeping cham ber. They had even sawed through several of the slats of the shutter, and opening it, had removed nearly all the putty from one of the panes of glass in the window ,when evidently they were disturbed in their work. Naturally the Deiberts are very much exercised over the repeated attempts to rob their home. They say they have some suspicion as to who the guilty parties are. and that but fur the lack of corroborative evidence they would make arrests. liig Shipment of liass Fry. Toniotrow one of the biggest ship ments of bass that ever arrived at this place w ill be turned loose in the north branch. The shipment made is in ac cordance with applications simultane ously sent in, by a number of local fishermen aud is in pursuance of a well defined policy not only to replace tie* fish annually taken from the riv er, but, if possible, to restock the stream up to a point that will make tish as plentiful as they ever were in times before modern conditions con spired to make game fish scarce. The bass fry, which are shipped from the Pleasant Mount hatchery by Sup erintendent N. li. Buller, are all of the small mouthed variety and will comprise a large number of cans sent on application of W. (J. Pursel.Dr. J. J. Kline,M. 11. Schrani.W. W. Davis, George Kowe and others. The fish fry will arrive at the D. L.it W. station on the ljt. in. train tomorrow and according to agreement will be met by a committee who will formally take over the tish and receipt for them. The bass fry will li* distributed along the north branch between Heed's island and ( 'allien in. The department, of fisheries has dem onstrated that it is possible not only to compel obedience to fish laws but also by maintaining hatcheries and systematically* restocking streams *to more than counterbalance the loss of game tish brought about by stream pollution whether caused by coal dirt, or refuse of other sort. It was not many years ago that bass were in danger of becoming extinct in the north branch. Yet at the present time there are probably as many fish of that variety in the river as at any time in the past. Some of the bass hooked during the few days past were monsters. Joseph Heim last week caught one measuring nineteen inches. A day* or so later William Lloyd hook ed one measuring 17 inches During the present season Mrs. Winters is credited with catching one which measured *2l inches. it is interesting to know that the above fish,as large as they are, are not record breakers.

H., and their friends which took place in DeWitt's park yes terday, was a well attended and suc cessful affair. It was a basket picnic, while among the sports were base ball and dancing, Fetterman's orchestra furnishing the music. An incident in connection with the picnic was a fall-out between the com mittee and the liverymen of town which caused some controversy and feeling. The. facts a< generally un derstood are that the local liverymen declining to haul people to the park for live cents per head as advertised— the committee on arrangements went, to Bloomsburg and Catawissa and em ployed hackmen there who under a private arrangement were willing to adopt a five-cent fare for the day. Three of these hacks from the above towns were on hand early in the morn ing and were to be followed with an other in the afternoon. Each was dis tinguished from any other vehicle of the kind that might appear on the street by placards displayed on each side, which contained the words: "Heps' Hack—s cents. " It was a question whether during the rush that might occur in the afternoon the hacks that adopted the five-cent fare would be able to carrv all the people. The local liverymen early re solved that thev would not come upon the street. There were some people who took sides with the liverymen and did not like to see teams from out of town employed while our own livery men were waiting for business. Several prominent Heptasophs ex plained the situation in this wise : The committee had advertised that people would be carried to the park for five ceuts, and at least several of the liv erymen had agreed on that figure; for the Heps to have come out with a ten cent fare on the day of the picnic would not have been treating the pub lic fairly. The local liverymen would not carry people for live cents so that nothing remained but togo out of town for the hacks. There are some •JSO Heps in Danville and these togeth er with their families and friends, it was reasoned, would make a large crowd which would keep the hacks busy and even af a five cent fare would repay them well. It was adverted to that there is a general objection to a ten-cent fare and that it will have to give way to something more reason able. At a ten-cent fare, it was held, a man with a family of several per sons is often deterred from visiting the park by the cost of hack fare. During an interview a leading and representative liveryman stated some facts that may be new to the public. To begin with, lie stated, peo ple have an exaggerated idea of the profits made at a ten-cent fare by hack ing on the occasion of a picnic. One liveryman, he said, is credited with having realized forty dollars, which is probably true, but during the great er part of the day he had four teams out. The common run of earnings for a hack on such occasions is twelve to fifteen dollars. Speakintr for himself the highest he ever realized in a day's hacking was sixteen dollars. Hacks are expensive; they are hard on horses and on days when they are employed extra men have to be hired and he felt quite sure that a five-cent fare would not repay a liveryman for his invest ment, for his risk and trouble. As for the burden imposed on large families, lie said, hackmen always make it a practice not to charge for children un der ten years of age. It is true that on a few occasions, such as church picnics, liverymen had hired their hacks for a fixed sum, say four dollars, but that it was under stood that for that consideration only four trips were to_be made, each way, and that for all over four trips the liverymen were to receive extra pay. This arrangement, he declared, the Heptasophs were not willing to ou ter into. New Physicial Director here. The Y. M. C. A. has another new physical director. James C.

A swarm of innocent little honey bees has been causing Harry Gibbons, a farmer of Benton township, Colum bia county,all kinds of trouble during the past several days, and just what method it will be necessary lor him to employ to get them back into the hive be has not been able to determine. On Saturday last the bees came to his home and took up their abode in the chimney of the house. Mr. Gib bons tried to hive them, but the little fellow- persistently refused to enter the hive. Coming out of the chimney, they (lew all about the house *ud the family was obliged to remain indoors i to avoid being stung, but in spite of this precaution one of his children was stung several times. Mr Gibbons tried smoking out the bees, and was in a manner successful | in driving tlieni away from the house foi a time, but they again took refuge 111 the chimney, and should they re main there, Mr. Gibbous will no doubt have considerable trouble in getting their honey. Providence is kindest to those who ' look out for themselves.
