the blast furnace. It was installed

It has <juit« recently been purchased

Improvements on Bloom .Street.
Bloom street above A street where
the trolley track has been raised is in
very bad condition for driving and is
tlie cans*- of much complaint. The
-trevt each side of the trolley track
has I»-eii raised to a corresjiondiug
height by being covered with a course
<.f large cinder. Tins in it- present
shape ;s very bad to drive over. The
state of affairs has already existed for
a couple of weeks and drivers think
that it is nearly time that better con
ditions were brought about.
The borough is probably doing the
best it can under the cireunistances.
The intention is, we are informed, to
use the ten ton roller 011 the street,af
ter it hot> been given a top course of
finer material. Unless this is done the
street will be a jioor ajxdogy for a
thoroughfare in a progressive town.
It is hoped, however, that there will
be no unnecessary delay, as those who
use the -treet are not altogether un
reasonable in protesting against
things as they are at present.

Eight cases of typhoid fever have
develojmd iii Sunbury, six of them be

Both of the afflicted homes are on

RALBFUS
GAME IMPROVES
In reply to interrogatories addressed
to the board of ffftinn commissioners of
tin State concerning conditions rela
tive to game in this section of Penn
sylvania, tlie Williainsport Sun is in
receipt of the following very interest
ing and important letter from Dr. Jo
seph Kalhfus, of llarrisbnrg,secretary
of the game commission:
' In the matter of gamol would say,
from personal observation and the re
ports id' our protectors and individu
als, from all over the State, I am sure
game of all kinds will be more plenti
ful this fall than for many years, es
pecially ruffled grouse and deer, of
which we are receiving splendid re
ports Wild turkey and woodcock ap
pear to have done well, and the quail
imported from Alabama are "simply
out of sight," having in every inst
ance far exceeded our utmost expecta
tions. I have numerous reports of
covies containing more than eighteen
birds some as high as twenty-three.
It is up to the sportsmen of the State
to save these birds, and I expect soon
to issue a circular letter upon this sub
ject.
"1 think present conditions are to a
great extent due to the absence of for
est tires and the interest taken in the
matter of game protection bv the gen
eral public. I take pleasure in saying
that oMicers of the game commission
are treated fairly in almost every com
munity in tlie State, and that the help
accorded us in our work and without
which we could do but little—is most
encouraging to us. the amount of vio
lations by our own people is limited,
and nothing like what it was a few
years ago. With the foreigner tilings
are different, and to use, a common
expression with him "we are up
against a stiff proposition," sometimes
to our sorrow, sometimes the other
way.
"The game commission has no sys
tem of district wardenship. Our offic
ers are appointed for the entire State,
and have tlie right to arrest any and
every where they may find violations
in tlie commonwealth."
Wholesale Life Saver.
Edwin W. Savior, a young man
whose home is at Sixteenth and Mad
ison streets, Philadelphia,has develop
ed into a champion life saving hero
during Ins vacation, which he is send
ing at Lewisbnrg, Pa. Last week lie
saved the lives of five young women
in two days.
On Friday lie was invited togo out
rowing with four pretty delegates to
the Haptist assembly. They started
across the Susquehanna, and when the
Itoat got about half way over it struck
upon a sunken snay and upset.
The four young women,one of whom
w is Miss Bessie Nevius, of Philadel
phia. were flung out into the water,
but managed to cling to the gunwales.
Say lor sprung out and began swim
ming to lighten the load. Knowing
that the young women would become
exhausted before long, he attempted to
struggle towards shore, pushing the
boat ahead of him. After a long tight
he got the craft into shallow water
and heljied the quartet of girls to the
bank.
On Saturday Savior accompanied a
picnic party, members of which posed
for a group photograph on the breast
of an old dam. One of the girts, Miss
Mabel Hostetter.of Williainsport,step
ped upon a lose stone, and plunged
fifteen feet to the deep water below
the dam.
Fully dressed, and without even re
moving his straw hat.Saylor dived in
to the pool and caught the girl as she
rose to the surface, bringing her to
shore badly scared, but uninjured.
Savior made little of his two daring
feats, lie is a splendid swimmer, and
can keep afloat for hours if it is neces
sary. Boating parties for this week
are all including him, for safety's
sake.

SHEPHERD DOG'S
QUEER STUNT
The various railroad crossings of
town where the cars become factors
that jiedestrians and those who eon
duct street traffic are obliged to take
sternly into account arc prettx sure to
be scenes of occurrences that attract
more than passing attention; some are
amusing; now and then one 1- tragic
and not infrequently something hap
pens that could bo ranked with the
serio-comic. I'nder the circumstances
the life of the watchman should not
he burdened with dullness and mono
tony.
George Hunlock, watchman at the
Railroad street crossing of the D. L.
<& W. line, Tuesday told a story
that would bear out the above view.
The occurrence took place a day or so
ago. The passenger train east, due to
arrive here at 2:11 p. m., had just left
the station and was bowling along to
ward Railroad street at a good rate of
sjieed. Just as it approached the cross
ing a woman accompauied by a fine
big shepherd dog walked across the
track —that is the woman did, but the
big dog,a playful fellow, just as if to
tease his mistress, while she called
and coaxed in the most appealing way,
stood stock still upon the track, turn
ing his eyes OLIO minute toward the
woman and the next toward the rapid
ly approaching train and all the while
wagging his tail roguishly as if he
enjoyed the sport.
It was only a brief moment until the
train was literally 011 the spit and
still the dog refused to move. It was
clearly all over with the canine and
the woman in an agony of mingled
grief and horror threw her apron over
her face to shut out the terrible sight
The watchman, however, was a spect
ator of what occurred. The pilot or
cow catcher proved a very good dog
catcher. It gathered the canine square
ly and threw him npon the pilot, in
which position it carried him fully
sixty feet, when, unable to hold on
any longer, he rolled down off the
pilot. His foolhardiiiess was accom
panied with the most astounding good
luck, for not only did the dog roll off
on nie side of the cow catcher, but lie
also alighted upon his feet, which en
abled him by a timely spring to get
out of harm's way.
Without waiting for a moment the
dog ran around the rear end of the
train and joined his pale and trembl
ing mistress, who could scarcely be
lieve her eyes when she saw him alive
and uninjured. If the dog was fright
ened he did not show it in his man
ner. He continued friskv and playful,
as though the whole affair was a lit
tie stunt he had planned to have some
fun with his mistress.

ALIENS AND CRIME.
Referring to the increase of crimes
of violence in this State, due to the
criminal conduct of the growing army
of aliens, the Sharon Telegraph says:
"There is said to be a sort of ail organ
ization in South Sharon and out in
the coal mine neighborhood near Lees
burg, which just about defies author
ity, and the judge of the Mercer coun
ty courts recently said to the Telegraph
editor that lie had reason to believe
that some of the witnesses in a mur
der trial from Lresburg,actually were
afraid to tell what they knew of the
murder, fearing that they would meet
with harm at the hands of their fellow
countrymen." Tin Telegraph thinks
this is a sad stat< of affairs and it re
commends such changes in the im
migration laws a- would help to rem

A CITIZEN APPEALS
TO DR. DIXON
A gentleman of influence residing in
this city in order to get an « xpre>sion
of opinion on the subject addressed a
letter to Dr. Dixon of the State board
of health, calling hi- attention t the
abandoned canal, which i- proving
-uch a nuisance and a menace to our
town. The description given was
thoroughly adequate and the h el ol
the State board of health was brought
face to face with the conditions a
they exist.
In reply, Dr. Dixon stated that while
undoubtedly a nuisance yet in h: op
in ion the old canal was a matter for
the local hoard of health and not the
State board. It seemed a matter of
surprise to him, in the premises, that
the local board had not proceeded legal
ly and lie asked what reason the mem
bers assign for not taking action.
The old canal,essentially a nuisance,
threatens in a short time to become
doubly objectionable by reason of the
rank growth of bushes and noxious
weeds that have taken root in the fer
tile and well watered bottom and are
springing up to maturity as if by
magic. Already in the borough the
spot presents a wild and neglected ap
pearance, but it is not so bad as be
low town where a long succession of
fine farms is intersected by tlie old
canal,which with its rank growth lia
become a positive menace. At some
places the old ditch is nearly obliter
ated. the tow patli and the opposite
bank oeing also hidden by the rank
growth, among which are weeds that
are apt to prove very troublesome to
the farmers. Not only is such a spec
tacle unsightly and annoying to a
farmer who endeavors to keep down
the weeds on his own lands, but he
lias no assurance that the weeds, nox
ious and otherwise, which are |«T
luitted to thrive and goto seed in the
canal, will not spread to his fields
abutting on the old water way.thus in
the future adding to the labor and ex
1 tense in keeping his farm presentable
The farmers no not understand that
they have any right to encroach a foot
on the canal property. In the premises
they think the very least the owners
of the canal could do would he to cut
the weeds down. There will no doubt
be some agitation along this line be
fore long.

Claim I nfair Assessment.
The Shamokin Dispatch says : The
taxpayers of Coal township continue
to show dissatisfaction with the in
equality of tax assessments, and are
preparing to protest to court against
it. They will show that when the
triennial assessment was made three
years ago, the individual property
holders were increased in their assess
ed valuation three times their prev
ious levy At present an acre of land
in Coal township with mineral and
surface rights is assessed at about sllO.
The same acre cut up into lots with
only surface rights granted is assessed
at nearly SIOO. A house owned by a
coal company and rented for s'.i<) a
year is assessed at .iust half the valua
tion of a similar house belonging to
an individual. The assessed valuation
of Coal township is nearly $-100,000
less than three years ago, corporations
having received nearly nine per edit,
reduction.
SALVATION OFCOUNTRY ROADS
The New Castle News believes that
rural free delivery "will probably be
the ultimate salvation of the country
roads." Its faith is founded upon the
inevitable kicking of the carriers along
the rural routes against the wretched
roads tolerated and encouraged bv too
many rural residents. The government
will then intervene and suspend free
delivery unless the roads are made bet
ter. Having become accustomed to tin
free delivery the farmers will bestir
themselves concerning road improv
ineiit in order to prevent the suspen
sion of the service. Thus great r« ■nil
will follow The theory is beautiful
and t here may be much in 11-

LAST WEEK I
OP VACATION
The three months' school vaca
tion are drawing to a close, one more
week being all that remains. Not only
the public schools, but 11 if parochial
schools of St. Hubert's and St. Jos
eph's w ill open the first week in Sept
ember Each of these schools, how
i vcr.w ill fall in line with the general
observance of labor day, ~o that
throughout the borough the first day
ol school will not be until next Tues
day.
Throughout the rural districts, where
holidays receive less recognition than
in town, labor day will not be an ob
stacle in the way of the opening of
the schools and in those districts where
the term begins in the first week of
.September Monday will be the open
ing day. It is wholly optional with
the school boards whether the schools
close on labor day or not. Of the forty
seven rural schools of the county prob
ably more than one-half of them will
open on next Monday.
Throughout the borough the repairs
on the different buildings have been
nearly completed. The walls, where
in need of it, have been cileiniined
aud everything has been made attrac
tive and comfortable for the pupils
At each of the school buildings the an
nual cleaning is in progress and the
rooms, as far as completed, present a
clean aud fresh appearance that in
sures the most healthful conditions din
ing the school term.
The last week of vacation proves a
busy one for teachers and pupils alike.
One by one the teachers are returning
from their vacation trips and prepar
ing for the routine of school. The
pupils are counting the few davs that
intervene between the present and the
beginning of the term. That they re
gard the near approach, however, with
emotions that vary is only natural aud
probably while some will welcome the
school hell as a joyous sound there are
others of an opposite way of thinking
who before another month will help
to make the truant officer's life strenu
ous enough.

ASSESSORS.
The Titusville Herald has the fol
lowing about a matter of considerable
importance; "At the State convention
of county commissioners, which has
just concluded its sessions,tlie legisla
tive committee was instructed to pre
pare a Dill for presentation to tlie next
h islature, making assessors appoin
tees of tiie county commissioners.
There are some points in favor of such
a change. Too often assessors with
out ability, judgment, courage or dis
eret ion are elected in aei ty, township
or borough simply because their party
happens to be in the majority. It is
an office vitally important to the tax
payer, touching his pocketbook at ev

THE ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTH
The Milton Standard rises to make
the following remarks about the latest
atrocity from the coal region: "The
one hundred and eight murder victim
in Northumberland county in less than
twenty years was added to the list
when Stauy Viletski, of Springfield,'a
suburb of Shamokin, died at the Min
ers' hospital of injuries inflicted by
three of his countrymen, who committ
ed au unprovoked assault upon him as
ho was on his way home, on Saturday
night. It would be hoping too much
to expect that the perpetrators of this
red-handed outrage will expatiate their
crime on the gallows, as they deserve.
Northumberland county has an un
savory record for meting justice out
I to murderers, as but one man lias been
hanged for the one hundred and eight
killings since 1887. Our stock of un
hung murderers is probably larger
than that oi any other county of one
hundred thousand population ill the
United States."

ADVICE TO YOUNG MKN.
The Lancaster Examiner is quite
right when it gives this admirable ad
vice to the young men among whom
it circulates: "Every young man
should be a gentleman or try to be one.
It is just as easy as being a rowdy and
pays much better. There is nothing
smart in being a swaggering "tough"
or in patronizing the fast sot. The
young fellows you see who are atlect
ing drink, the lewd and annoying, are
not only making asses and nuisances
of themselves, but are destined some
day to fill poor houses anil jails. They
are the ones who have no homes, no
i friends,no money—-the ones the police
men tell to uiove on " That article
is of universal application There are
young men in Danville who need to
profit by its warning.
