BOROUGH Dili
BETTER TERMS
A communication was received from
State Highway Commissioner Hunter,
yesterday, which clears up a ntistin
derstand ing ex ist ing between the bor
ougli and the highway lepartment in
a nio-f satisfactory way
From the first it was the plain nil
derstanding b-lwceii the borough and
the State highway department that
under the Act of I'.iO.i the State would
pay for the reconstruction of three
fourth- of a street twenty feet in
width, or 1"> feet, which would leave
the b )rough a trifle over the -line
width of the street, to pay for. 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. The tea-oil three fourths of IU
11 ■. t was me nt miie. 1 in tin former let

Met With Injury at Station.
Mi- Pariiielia Keeler, whn resides
yy . 111 h. r daughter, M i-s A una M. Keel
ei. No 1 Mill street, met with a
painful accident at the Hloom street
ci■'- ing ye-ii rd ly morning.
Sue met the . Vi train \s 1111 a friend,
yylni wa- leaving town The friend
b..ardcd tin train while Mr- Keeler
inod nn tin platfnrm with a packagi
in her hand, which belonged to the
person leaving Mrs Keeler was in
the act nt handing the packagi on the
train when the latter suddenly started.
Acting mi impulse without thinking
nl the danger she seized linld ol the
railing as *hc tossed tin package on
the platform.
The train start- quickly at that point
aud as it bounded forward it gave the
woman a sudden lurch turning her
quicklv upon her foot, yvith the result
that her ankle was badly sprained.
She suffered intense piin, her ankle
-welling sn badly that -lie wa- unable
to walk A vehicle wa- procured in
which he was driy. u hone* from the
station I.ast evening she was doing
vi ry y\' II and, although recovery may
be slow, it wa- conceded by those
familiar with the accident that Mrs.
Keeler was fortunate that worse in
juries were not sustained Had she
been thrown from her feet she could
hardly have escaped coming in con
tact with the yy heels.

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. The largest bass on
record hooked from the river here was
caught by Jacob Miller some years ago
and measured between 21 and
inches. Another monster,which mea
sured inches aud weighed 4 pound
and 'J ounces, was caught by M. H.
Schram a year or so ago.
Shamokin Mas a Prince.
Adolf Van Ziel, prince of Wnrteni
burg and special embassy is a Shamo
kin visitor. No June knows he is a
prince save himself Adolf arrived in
that town a short time ago coming
front New York to take the position
of a painter at the new Graeher hotel.
He is doing ordinary painting. That
is all so far as his trade goes.
But Adolf claims he is of royal
blood. He hands out a highly engrav
ed and embellished card bearing the
title "Prince Adolf von Ziel." He
talks of Germany and his title, saying
he is here to study American life, to
learn of our people,customs and habits,
to study the workings of the great
trust and lastly, and most important,
'on special and very secret mission
which he absolutely refuses to divulge
He says it is most important. He is a
middle aged man, very well educated,
refined and speaks the German laugu
age like a native. He expects tore
! niain iu Shamokin until Saturday
w hen lie will leave for another part of
the country.
KSTAJ'.LISIIED IX
DEPTfISOPH'S
ill OUTING
The annual outing of Lotus Coucalve
No. 127, 1. O. 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.

Bees Swarmed in Chimney.
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.
