It will be constructed iu the most im proved style of that kind of work and w 111 be up to date in every particular, it# location will be on the Sunbury «de of the island, north of the park, and its construction will add a great feature to that popular resort.

The old Vanostrand homestead 111 Riverside was sold yesterday to Oliver Hoover, of South Danville, who will rvinodel and improve the property. The sale wa« made through Charles Gear hart, Esq BOY CHARGED WITH ARSON k LARCENY Charged with the high crimes of arson, break ing ami entering, also larceny, John Yarrisli, a sixteen-year old Polish boy, of Marion Heights, near Shamokin, is now locked op in the Northumberland county jail await ing a hearing. Special Officer A. J. Brittain made the arrest and preferred the charges for the Pennsylvania Railroad com pany. Young Yarrish was in Sunbury Monday and started for home on a freight tram sometime during the forepart of the night. About two o'clock yesterday morning he broke into the pump station and warehouse of the railroad company at the Weigh Scales, stole several razors aud other articles belonging to L. C. Moore, the uian in charge during the day. After committing the larceny, it is alleged, he set lire to the building and then fled. Shortly after a Sunbury crew passed and discovered the fire, extinguished it in time to prevent any serious damage. The red tongues of destruction,however, hail lickod thoir way to within several feet of 18 gal lons of gasoline in air tight barrels. Later another crew hearing of the affair recalled having seen a suspic ious character in a box car which stood ou a siding down the tracks. The inmate of the box car was Yar rish, and he was later taken into cus tody by Officer Brittain. When arrest ed the boy had the stolen razors ou his ]K>rson and carried a loaded revolver. When taken before Justice Carpenter, Yarrish made no denial of breaking into the building but contended he did so for the sole purpose of getting warm. He also pleaded not guilty to the arson charge,explaining the origin of the fire by saying that a lautern which he lighted had exploded. Prison records show that Yarrish has already served thrity days in jail for the theft of a bicycle. The evid ence is so strong against him ou three charges that he has little chance of escaping conviction aud his punish ment, it is predicted, will be as severe as his crimes merit. Advances Wages. (53SH The Reading IronJ company yesterday morning an announcement .that will fill the hearts of all iron workers with joy. The announcement, which simultaneously with this article ap pears in the Heading and probably a few other newspapers, state that the wage schedules now in force in the Reading Iron compauv are being revis ed and a general advance will shortly be made in all its departments. Recently, the announcement con tinues, the prices of some of the prod ucts of the Readiug Iron company have advanced, and wages will be equalized and adjusted to conform to the improved market conditions. The tube works, blast furnaces, rolling mills, foundries aud machine shops will nil be included in the advance. The exact date of the advance and what per cent, will be granted is not stateil in the announcement. How it will affect puddling—whether it will meet the specific demands made by the puddlers,pending fuller and more def inite information,is a matter for con jecture It is stated, however, that the advance will be general, affecting all departments. The advance is in line with the policy ot the Reading people aud follows an advance of ten per cent, recently granted to all the employes of the Reading railway com pauy. It is scarcely to be doubted that the advance announced will bring the lab or difficulties existing at the big mill in this city to an end. All of which constitutes the very best of news not only for the iron workers of our town, but also for our business men aud cit izens in general. The big mill has been closed since June. Up to the present the outlook has been dark and unpromising aud no one would have been surprised if the big plant would have remained idle all winter. The brighter prospects coming now as they do on the eve of winter will be hailed with all the greater joy. Funeral of John Ploch. John Ploch, the 12-year-old sou of Frederick Ploch,whose death occurred Saturday morning, was consigned to the grave in Odd Fellows' cemetery, Tnesdav afternoon, the funeral tak ing place at the parental home.

HEALTH DEP'T LAIORATORY (ON In a letter addressed to over ten thousand physicians in Pennsvlvania, State Health Commissioner Samuel G. Dixon has announced the opening of the laboratories of the department of health, located at the University of Pennsylvania. The announcement will be received with great satisfaction not only by the physicans but also by the people of the State, especially iu the rural districts, because of the opportunity afforded doctors to accurately diagnose conditions by the most improved sciea tific laboratory methods. The opening of the department of health laboratories ranks in import ance with the establishment by Health Commissioner Dixon nearly a year ago of five huudred stations for the free distribution of diphtheria antitoxin among the poor throughout the State. Dr. Dixou's letter to the phyiseians is as follows: "Recognizing the great benefits which must accrue to the individual practitioner of medicine and his pati ents as well as to the public health through the operation of a fully equip ped laboratory, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania offers gratuitously to the physicians of the State, the facilities of such an institution. The accom plishment of this subject has been one of the chief aims of the department ever since its creation aud the con summation at this time is due in a great measure to the spirit of generos ity displayed by the University of Pennsylvania in placing at our im mediate disposal, rooms well adapted to the needs of the laboratory. The scope of the work embraced in this division of the department is set forth some what briefly in the accompany ing pamphlet. If you desire to avail yourself in any way of the use of the laboratory, kindly indicate upon the enclosed postal tne number of outfits desired for the collection of specimens and the same will be provided,togeth er with the blank request cards, ad dressed envelopes and return wrappers | for the packages. "The outfit will be for your practice outside of municipalities having lab [ oratories for the same purpose. I "Requests should be sent iu prompt I ly so that the department may have some estimate of how many outfits ! will be needed aud thereby avoid any i unnecessary delay and the purchasing ' of an over-supply. " Accompanying the letter i- a small booklet outlining the character cf the work it is proposed to do in the labor atories. The laboratory facilities offer ed are for work only iu connection with physicians' practice outside of municipalities hiving laboratories for the same purpose, as Philadelphia, Pittsburg, and several of the other larger cities. Health Commissioner Dixon will ho assisted in carrying on tin work of the laboratories by Dr. Allen .T. Smith, one of the leading physicians in this country, who has been appoint ed director of pathology,and Dr. Her bert Fox, chief of the laboratories DOINIi THEIR Dl I \ Scores of Dmvi 1! * Bead -rs ar- Ije-iriug the Duty of the Kidneys.

There will be forty-five cash prizes.be sides specials. This is Pennsylvania's first great corn show, and it should bring a big lot of fine grain, some of which may later be used in exhibits at Jamestown or other expositions. Every corn grower who can find ten ears of choice com when he goes to husk it has « whack at the money. He should write at once to E. S. Bayard, secretary, 203 Shady avenue, East End, Pittsburg, for particulars aud enroll himself as a contestant. A postal card J will do it.

Mrs. Eliza Butler, window of the late Thomas Butler, of Washington ville, died Monday afternoon at ;s j o'clock at the home of her sister and ■ brother, Sallie and William Johnson, on the Johnson farm in Madison town ship, Columbia county. I Mrs. Butler was ou a visit to the ! home of her brother and sister about a ' week ago when she was taken ill, and for several days before death came she ! was in a critical condition. The de ceased was a life long resident of the locality in which she died. She was a most kind hearted and generous lady aud was generally beloved by all who knew her. Her husband, the late Thomas Butler, who preceded her to the grave ten years ago, was at one time associate judge in Montour coun ty. Mrs. Butler was a member of the Washingtonville M. E. church. Beside William and Sallie Johnson, who reside ou the Johnson homestead farm, Mrs. Butler is survived by two brothers, Frank and Amos, who live 'in Anthony township. Four children survive Mrs. Hattie Colo, of Wilkes- Barre; Misses Margaret aud Katie and Mr. Kent Buthr, of New York City. Chicken Steps Are Removed. James V. Gillaspy has completed the brick pavement in front of his hotel property, Mill and Front streets. The "chicken steps" leading from the pavement at the Hoddens house t<> the old grade at the property below, which have been an eye sore ami a great in convenience to pedestrians, are happily things of the past and Mr. Gillaspy's new sidewalk is now on the same grade with the Heddeus house pavement. The western side walk, which previously was avoided because of the chicken steps will here after be as much frequented as any. Mr. Gillaspy. along with other im provements, is having the new stone wall along the base of his hotel cover ed with a coat of cement. Jere Knorr, who latelv completed the brick pave ment in front of Foust Bros , brew ery, is doing the work aud is making ; a very good job of it. Improving Bloom Street. The Dauville and Bloomsburg street ! railway company is placing a course of crushed limestone on Bloom street between the P. it R. crossing and A street, where the trolley track was re cently removed. A top course of fine material will next be applied, which will fix this section of Bloom street up in fine shape. The upper section of Bloom street that was reconstructed with cinder has been much improved through the painstaking effort of the street com missioner. All the chunks of cinder have been removed, so that the street as a general thing each side of the track is tolerably smooth and affords fairly good driving. One of the chief difficulties with Bloom street at tlmt point lies in the fact that the space ou each side of the trolley track is too narrow, while the deep ditches add to the danger and in convenience of driving. No matter how much labor and expense is put on the roadway the street so long as these conditions exist will always be open to objection Sooner or later some thing will have to be done aud coun cil might as well take up the matter at once and see what remedy can be applied. Democrats Gain 24 in Congress. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. President Roosevelt's appeal for a Republican congress was not iu vam. With the count still going on, the re sult so far shows the election of 214 Republican congressmen, 157 Demo crats, with twenty districts to be heard from. There aro 38*5 seats to be filled in the house, aud should the Demo crats get the remaining fifteen they would still not have the control. The most sanguine prediction put out by Chairman Sherman previous to the election was that the Republicans would retain control of the house by fifty. As the returns stand now the Demo crats have gained twenty-four districts held iu the present congress by Repub licaus as follows: Illinois, 2; Indiana,l ; lowa, 1 ; Mis souri. I; Nebraska, 1 ; New Jersey, 8; New York,!; North Carolina,l; Ohio, 4; Pennsylvania, o, and Wisconsin, 1. Speaker Cannon received his usual fifteen thousand majority and comes back to congress for the seventeenth timr.

AGITATION BRINGS GOOD RESULTS The recent article in this paper rela tive to the omission of Danville on the map of the D. L. & \V. printed in the "Commercial and Financial Chroui- i cle" seems to have borne good fruit in more respects than one. Not only doos the D. L. W. railroad company make haste to assure the borough that Dauville will he replaced on the map in the next issue of the "Commercial and Financial Chronicle," bur tlie William 1?. Dana company, publishers of that periodical, have addressed a letter to Burgess Rogers for certain data relating to Danville The letter, which follows,explains itself: To the Chief Burgess, Danville, Montour County, Pa. Dear Sir:—For our State and City Section, about togo to press, will you kindly favor us with tlie data asked for below relative to the finances of your municipality? What is the bonded debt of the bor ough at present? What was the assess ed valuation for 1905? What was the total tax rate per SIOOO for 1905? Thanking you in advance for the courtesy of an early reply, wo remain, Very respectfully, William B. Dana Company. From the above it would seem that Danville's omission on the map led to the town's exclusion from tlie pages of the publication, where valuable in formation is printed relating to the towns shown on the map. Verily, a little healthy agitation is sometimes a good tl iug. Large Funeral at Exchange. The remains of Miss Mary Craig, who departed this life on Thursday, were laid to rest Sunday afternoon from the late residence at Exchange with impressive ceremonies.

May Condemn Sewage System. Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, commissioner of the State board of health threatens to overthrow the whole sewage system of Sunbury. It is the desire of Dr. Dixon to keep the Susquehanna unpol luted. The Sunbury dye works is doubtless the principal offender,as the waste from the plant, with its poison : ou- chemicals destroys the fish for a great distance down the river, as do many of the city sewers which empty into tlie stream.
