FIRE 111 1
SO! WARD
The fire department was called out
yesterday by a bla/.e on the premises
of Montgomery Knorr corner of Honey
moon and Grand streets. The fire,
however, was extinguished by the
heroic work of Mrs. Knorr assisted by
some neighbors.
It was a few minutes after 10 o'clock
| when the fire broke out. Mrs. Knorr
I was engaged in washing and had kind
led a fire in the out kitchen, which
I stands some three feet from the house.
I The stove pipo, it appears, had work
| ed loose at the chimney, which caused
| the weather boards to ignite
| Before Mrs. Knorr was aware of it
| the roof was in flames. She gave the
| alarm and then fell to work to ex
tinguish the fire. Fortunately the wasli
boiler on the stove was full of water
and there was a tub standing near al
so full. Standing inside she dashed the
water against the roof of the low
building, but unfortunately by this
time the fire had eaten through and
the entire roof on the outside was a
mass of flames.
As soon as the neighbors heard the
alarm they came rushing to the res
cue. The women far outumbered the
men, but they proved valuable fire
fighters. While a young man mounted
to a position where he could dash wa
ter on the roof the women carried wa
ter from the neighboring houses and
kept a tub filled for his use. In this
way all the water available in an ef
fective way was brought into play and
the fire was extinguished, but not until
the entire roof was burned off and the
sides of the building were partly de
stroyed.
The fire had such a start that noth
ing but the quick action and well dir
ected efforts of Mrs. Knorr assisted by
the neighbors prevented the flames
from communicating to the dwelling. ;
The Washington and Friendship hose |
companies both promptly responded to
an alarm of fire. Before either reach
ed the soene of the blaze, however, it'
learned that the fire was extinguish- !
ed. Each stopped, therefore, and re
turned to the hose house.
The contents of the kitchen, among
which was a new range, were ruined
as the result of tiie fire. The damage
to the building was considerable. Tiie |
loss is covered with insurance.

stone is to be laid today, when com
pleted will be a home for 200 boys and
girls. '
DANVILLE, PA., THURSDAY. AUGUST 15, 1907
WILL APPEAL
TO DR. DID
The residents at the lower end of
West Market street are up in arms
against an obnoxious and well nigh
intolerable condition brought about by
the municipal sewer, whioh empties
into the river opposite that part of
town.
Unquestionably the residents have
cause for complaint. The sewer em
pties into the river at a point a little
west of the ark lot. Except at seasons
of low water the mouth of the big pipe
is at a safe distance from shore,where
the water is of sufficient depth to
carry off the sewage at< fast as it is
discharged into the stream. It has
only been for some two weeks, since
the river has fallen to approximately
iow water mark, that there has been
any trouble.
Brief as the interval may seem,how
ever, it haS been sufficient to breed a
terrible menace, one that is beooming
worse with each day. The mouth of
the sewer is now at the water's edge
and all about the spot lies a mass of
semi-solid matter, hardening in the
sun and emitting a stench so vile and
nauseating that none but persons of
the stoutest stomachs can remain long
near it. To assist in draining the sew
age out into the river a ditch or arti
ficial channel some eighty feet long has
been dug where the water is low, but
this only imperfectly serves its pur
pose. The.lack of ourrent causes the
sewago to lie all about the mouth of
the pipe. The consequence is that day
after day, while the river is falling, a
fresh accumulation is added to the
great mass of filth lying on the shore.
Unfortunately for the residents of
lower West Market stroet the prevail
ing wind just at this season seems to
come from the west and conditions are
such that nearly all hours of the day
they are compelled to breathethe sick
ening and disease breeding stench that
is wafted up from the mouth of the
sewer. At certain hours during the
middle of the day the offensive odor
does not annoy people living on West
Market street very much, but at other
times, especially at night, the stench
is almost overpowering
Several of the residents Tuesday
stated that the nauseating odor enter
ed their houses and that there is no
way to escape from it. Neither do
they see any relief in the near future.
The river will be pretty sure to fall
lower and it may not be until six
weeks or two months later that there
will be a rise that will bring about
better conditions. Each succeeding
year, too, will bring a recurrence of
the same condition. Owing to the
sewer extensions made annually the
amount of sewage discharged into the
river increases each year. For this
reason conditions the present year are
worse than last and for the same rea
son they will continue to grow worse
in the future.
Two different persons yesterday de
clared rhat it was their intention to
write Health Commissioner Dixon,in
viting him to send a representative to
Danville to investigate conditions in
connection with the sewer.
GORED BY BULL
AT HOSPITAL
William Lee, a farm hand at the
Danville hospital for the insane, was
gored by a bull on Sunday and serious
ly injured,escaping with his life only
through the timely arrival of another
man, who affected a daring rescue
Lee was in the yard witti the bull,
when the animal charged him. He at
tempted to defend himself with a
pitchfork but was beaten to the ground
and lost consciousness, while the in
furiated animal rolled the man over
the cobble stones and tried to pierce
him with his horns.
Anothef farm hand, who happened
to see Lee's peril, ran to the rescue,
and was successful in compelling the
bull to retreat. Mr. Lee's injuries
were most severe. His ear was torn
and required two stitches. He was al
so gored in the side. The whole one
side of his body and face was a mass
of bruises and cuts. He is confined to
his bed at the hospital.
BLOOfI WON WHEN
DARKNESS FELL
The free game between the Danville
Merchants and the Bloomsburg Carpet
Mill team at DoWitt's park last oven
ing drew a good sized crowd. All who
wont were well repaid and witnessed
a fine contest.
Both teams played a gilt edged qual
ity of ball, Danville having slightly
the better of the contest, until the lat
ter half of the ninth innings when
Bloomsburg scored three runs after it
had gotten too dark for the locals to
see the ball.
Lawrence and Bell for the Merch
ants and Bomboy and Linker for the
Carpet Mill were the batteries.
[Oil HANDS
■IMS
Judge Evans lias handed down a
couple of opinious involving cases of
considerable interest,one of which lias
been before court for over two years.
The latter case in which a number
of our leading citizens are directly in
terested relates to a change of road in
Limestone township, the opinion of
court being upon exceptions to report
of viewers. The report is set aside,the
proceedings, the opinion states,having
been apparentlv conducted without ref
erence to statutory requirements.
In effect the petition represents that
a publio road was long since laid out
and opened leading from ljimestoue
ville to California, Limestone town
ship ; that a part of said road begin
ning at a point at or near the corner
of lands of Clark Benfield, W. J. Baldy
and Abram Wagner and ending at a
point at the corner of lands of said
Clark Benfield and Elizabeth Latimer
has become burdensome and that said
road would be much improved by a
change of its route between said
points. The petition is signed'by C.
D. Levan aud twelve other persons.
The following endorsement appeirs
on the back of the petition:
"March 4, 1905. Filed, Viewers ap
pointed. Hiram Sandel, William E.
Boyer and James F. Ellis.
(Signed) Frank G. Blee, A. J."
The two associate judges in coun
ties that are not separate judicial dis
tricts may legally hold a court in the
absence of the president judge; but
neither of the associate judges can
hold court alone in the absence of the
president judge.
By permission of the court excep
tions were permitted to be filed to the
final coufirmntiou of viewers within
fifteen days from February 25, 1907.
The county commissioners on the
second day of March, 1907, filed seven
teen exceptions to the final confirma
tion of the said report. Exceptions
were also filed by Alexander Billmey
er.
From examination of the record pap
er the court finds the following facts:
"1. That the viewers were appoint
ed by the order of one of the associate
judges.
"2. That it nowhere appears on the
face of the petition, the base of pro
ceedings, that the persons signing the
same were residents of Limestone
township, of the county of Montour,
nor even of the State of Pennsylvania.
"3. The petition fails to set forth
how the portion of the road proposed
to be vacated became a public road or
was laid out.
"4 The petition fails to set forth
any reason why the road proposed to
be vacated has become useless, in
conveuient aud burdensome."
"5. The report of the viewers
to set forth that written notice of the
time and place for holding the view
was served on the supervisors of Lime
stone township.
"The report is accordingly set aside.
By the court
CHARLES O. EVANS. P. J."
The second opinion relates to the
case of E. S. Geariiart, Executor &c.,
vs James B. Forrest. Assumpsit.
Joseph Hartman late of Danville,
died on November 27, 1892 testate In
his will he het|uoafhed to his two sis
ters, .Tane O. Hartniau aud Frances
Hartman, all his property,to be divid
ed equally between them, providing
that in case either of them should die
the survivor should inherit the entire
estate.
The plaintiff's contention is that the
will of Joseph Hartman vested one
half of his entire estate in each of his
two sisters, both of whom survived
him absolutely and that the period of
survivorship as therein fixed referred
solely to Joseph Hartman's own death
and not to the death of either of his
Bisters.
The defendant's contention, on the
other hand, is that the period of sur
vivorship refers to the death of either
of the said sisters and not to the period
of Joseph Hartman's own death.
The opinion handed down cites auth
orities to show that in such cases the
gift is absolute unless the person
named in the will die in the testator's
lifetime. "Death generally is not
meant.but death in the lifetime of the
testator.''
The court, therefore, ordered judg
ment to be entered in favor of the
plaintiff for the sum of S9OO with in
terest from May 29, 1907.

fli'S POCKEI
K Plffl
George Cunningham, a well-known
farmer of Rushtown, an attendant at
our curbstone market,missed a sum of
money Saturday morning under cir
-1 cumstances which would seem to sug
; gest the presence of pick pockets in
' market.
It is a fact quite apparent that the
farmers atterding market, as a class,
are very careless of their money. Mr.
; Cunningham, falling in with the pre-
I vailing custom in making change,
i threw the money loosely in his pock
ets, by far the greater part of it find
ing a place in the lower side pocket of
| his coat.
The farmer was very busy selling
the contents of his wagon. What hap
pened while he was thus occupied he
can not say, but when his load of pro
duce was disposed of and he went to
take an account of cash before leaving
he was surprised to find his coat pock
et empty. Just what sum was missing
the farmer can not say for a certainty
but he conservatively fixes the amount
at seven dollars. The theory that he
lost the money is hardly tenable under
the circumstances and he is firmly con
vinced that some one took the money
out of his pocket. His wagon was
backed up to the curbstone just south
of the canal culvert and up to the
| time that his money was missing he
had not been away from the spot.
Whether the light fingered person
was a professional pickpocket who
happened along or some other in
dividual with the instincts of a thief
who could not resist the temptation
when he saw an opportunity to get the
farmer's money without being detect
ed, of course, can not be determined.
Certain it is, as shown by the sequel,
the trick was dead easy for auy> one
who cared to make the attempt.
Farmer Cunningham has lost his
money,which is much to be rergetted,
but his experience will be of value to
others if it will teach them the neces
sity while in market of giving quite
as much attention to.the safety of the
cash in their pockets as to selling the
produce on their wagons.
J. W.TAYLOR
HAS RESIGNED
riutrasu. ,t. w. xayior, during the
last two years principal of the local
high school, has tendered hi* resigna
tion. The school board, therefore, has
begun to cast about for a new princi
pal.
Professor Taylor was elected with
the other teachers last June. Follow
ing the election there were rumors
that he would resign. The verifica
tion came yesterday morning when a
letter was received from Professor
Taylor by W. H. Orth, secretary of the
school board, in which the former
tendered his resignation, briefly ex
plaining that he had just received in
formation that he had been elected to
another position. The letter was dated
at Eaglesmere.
There seems to be gome reason for
believing that E. S. Bream of Gettys
burg may be the successor of Professor
i Taylor. Mr. Bream was an applicant
S for the position of teacher of mathe
matics and science in the high school,
which position was filled by the elec
tion of John Kase at the last meeting
of the school board. Mr. Bream is a
! young man of excellent attainments
and extended experience in teaching
embracing high school work. At pres
ent he is conducting a summer
, school.
i The school board will tender him
the principalship of our high school
i and it is generally believed that he
t will accept, as if is a known fact that
he desires to come to Danville.

and science in the high school. On
motion of Mr. Burns Mr. Dieffenbach
er's resignation was accepted.
On motion it was decided that the
board proceed to elect a teacher of
mathematics and science.
The board had plenty of material to
select from,as there were some twenty
aspirants to the position. The board
spent some time in discussing the rela
tive merits of the applicants as indic
ated by abundant endorsements that
accompanied the applications.
Three persons were finally selected
by the committee as the best qualified

the' high school. Mr. Orth nominated
Mr. Bream for the position.
Two votes were taken. In the first
Messrs, Sechler, Fish, Fischer, Red
ding and Burns supported Mr. Kase
aud Messrs. Swarts, Cole, Heiss and
Orth, Mr. Bream. Neither of the can
didates having received seven votes,
the number requisite to elect, there
was no election. Another vote was
taken, which resulted as follows:
Kase—Seohler, Burns, Redding, Fish,
Fischer, Cole aud Heiss.
Bream—Swarts and Orth.
Mr. Kase receiving the required
number of votes was declared elected
as the teacher of mathematics aud
science in the high school.
On motion of Mr. Burns Mr. Kase's
salary was fixed at S7O per month.
Mr. Burns reported that the contract
for cleaning the second ward school
bnilding had been awarded to Mrs.
.Tones for $35. On motion of Mr.
Sechler the action of the second ward
school directors in this matter w ; as en

uring company, he reported, has been
installed in the second ward building.
On motior seventy coupons of bonds
due ou July Ith were ordered destroy
ed. They were formally consigned to
the flames iu the presence of the
school board.
By request several teachers met with
the board jointly last night to consid

ESTABLISHED IN 1855
11 il
GONE 10 ICES
\
P. J. Keefer, superintendent of the
water works, has unearthed a rather
bad state of affairs on Beaver street
relating to the borough water system,
which shows that the long four-inch
main branching out to the Beunett
farm aud supplying the stove works
and the big'tank of the D. L. & W.
company lias gone all to pieces
appareutly, from end to end, utterly
failing to conduct water.
It has known for some time
past that the main on Beaver street
was in bad condition,but nothing like
the true state of the pipe was dream
ed of. On last Friday night a break
occurred about thirty yards north of
the canal. On Saturday morning a
force of men was put to work repair
ing the break. The water main on
Beaver street was laid over thirty
years ago and owing to the repeated
filling up which has taken place the
pipe now lies at a depth of some ten
feet.
In excavating it.was necessary to
digthrough a course of hard cinder. The
work was in progress during Saturday
and Sunday and it was not until ,the
evening of the latter day that the
break was repaired aud the deep trench
closed. No sooner was the pressure ap
plied than the pipe sprang another
leak near the first. This rendered it
necessary to do all the work over
again. ,
By this time it discovered that
the entire main was completely eaten
up by rust. At many places the pipe
is reduced to a mere shell; at other
places it is full oi small holes.
The water mains laid in other parts
of town at even an earlier date, while
showing the effects of wear, are still
serviceable. The worn-out condition
of the Beaver street main is attributed
to the fact that the pipe lies in a bed
of furnace slag, a substance which is
peculiarly destructive to iron Furth
er investigation revealed that the con
dition of the pipe is the same along
the entire street aud all idea of mak
ing repairs was abandoned.
New pipe was ordered and pending
its arrival a pipe for temporary ser
vicfb will be laid aloug the surface of
the street fioni the point where the
Inefr. hrnsitr OOCUrr ocl n T W
tank and the stove works. Both of the
latter have been getting aloug as best
they could siuce the main gave out
last week. The D. L. & W. freight
locomotives have been taking water at
other points so far as practicable leav
ing what remains in the tank here to
supply the switch engine.
No attempt wiU be made to dig up
the long line of worthless pipe, buried
ten feet below the surface. The new
main will be laid at a depth of about
four feet.
Although an order for four-inch pipe
for the new main lias already gone iu
it is 110$ unlikely that it may be
countermanded aud six-inch pipe ord
ered. The Danville stove aud manu
facturing company feels that nothing
less than a six-iuch pipe will suffice
to give its plant adequate fire protec
tion. General Manager \V. A. Sechler
yesterday laid the matter before the
water commissioners. He pointed out
the fact that when the main was orig
inally laid the stove works was not in
existence aud the demands at the farm
were nothing like at present. The six
