Rogers was reelected by the borough council as water commis sioner Friday to serve for the next three years. He was nominated by ilr Jacobs aud was unanimously elected. Peter J. Keefer as superintendent of the water works, on motion of Mr. | Angle, was in turn unanimously re j elected. j It was the date on which the engine ers aud firemen of the water works I also are usually elected but some mat ters came to the surface during the i meeting that suggested the advisabil ity of postponing tiie election of eng ineers aud firemen until the next meet ing and on motion it was so ordered. J. T. Magill of the board of water commissioners was present at the meeting to urge that a six inch pipe be laid on Beaver street to take the place of the four inch pipe which has been ordered for the new main. He had been waited upon, he said, by W. A. Sechler, general manager of the Daucille Stove & Manufacturing com pany, who is very anxious on the score of fire protection to have a water main of increased capacity. He was followed by Mr Gorman, another wat er commissioner, who vigorously op posed the six incli main. On motion it was ordered that a six inch main be laid on Beaver street provided the Danville Stove & Manu facturing company at its own expense install another fire plug. On motion of Mr. Schatz it was or dered that the fourth ward school building be connected with the bor ough sewer at Asli street. Mr. Jacobs reported that a foul stench arises from the sewer at Mill and Mulberry streets aud he moved that the sewer be flushed, after which an examination be made aud if it be found that any one has connected with the sewer at that point,said sewers be plugged up aud the parties be ordered to connect with the sanitary sewer. The motion carried. Mr. Dietz called attention to the bad condition of the crossings on East Market street. He moved that, the Dan ville and Sunbury Trausit company he notified to relay the stones between the rails, satisfactorily, in ten days' time. Mr. Everhart called attention to the deplorable condition of East Market street, which at some points is well nigli impassable. The people, he said, are highly indignant aud are not in a mood to endure it much longer. The remedy, lie said, lies in paving the street, which could easily be accom plished, in his opinion, if the people were given the same terms as the property owners on North Mill street aud would be obliged to pay for no more than the curbiug. On motion of Mr. Schatz it was ord ered that bids be invited for placing the curbiug on East Market street this fall preparatory to paving the street next spring. It was ordereu that a petition be circulated immediately, wherein the property owners shall re lease the borough from all damage aud agree to pay for the curbing and to keep up repairs on the paving. On motion the P. <!S; R. railway com pany was ordered to clean out the gut ter along the tar pavement on East Market street. On motion council adjourned togo into executive session,at which it was understood that some matters were to be considered pertaining to the nil healthful condition on West Market street caused by the borougli sewer.

Bream, of Gettysburg, was elected principal of the local high school on Saturday night to succeed J W. Taylor, whose resignation was not ed in these columns last week. The principial was elected at a i special meeting of the board, at which j the following directors were present: Pursel, Swarts, Orth, Burns, Fish, Cole ami Heiss. The board found itself j in a position which left it in some j doubt as to what course of action iu 1 the premises was for the best interest !of tho schools. Tiiere was a bare quorum of directors present, while of probably a dozen or fifteen applica tions received there were only a cou ple that seemeu at all available. Whether the board should proceed to elect doing the best that it could un der the circumstances or postpone the election until some other date hoping for a fuller attendance of the school board and the receipt of a additional applications was the first question that the board set about to decide. Chairman Pursel was of the opiu ion that the duty the board was called upon to perform was of sucli i import ance as to require the voice of the whole body of directors, even if it were not advisable to wait a little longer to see whether additional ap plications miglit not come in. Mr. Burns took the view that owing to the lateness of the season further delav might result badly for the schools and the probability was that we would lose the applicants at pres ent on the list. Notices had been sent out to eacti of the directors and if any of these were absent it was their own fault.Speaking for himself lie had made some sacrifice in order to be able to attend. Mr. Cole'thought the board should proceed slowly unless there was an op portunity to make a good] sjlection from applications on hand. At this juncture Secretary Orth ex plained that in the large batch of ap plicants there was one at least, which h<' believed would fill the bill perfect ly. This was K. S. Bream of Gettys burg, who had visited .Danville prev ious to the election for assistant iu tlie high school and l ad made a very good impression Besides, lie had the endorsement of Borough superintend ent Gordy. Borough Superintendent Diiffen bacher being called inpon for an opin ion said that he met Mr. Bream and that he was very favorably impressed with him. He described him as a young man (if scarcely thirty,who has had five years' experience in teaching. He is a graduate of Gettysburg col lege. He is master of German, latin, Greek and French iu addition to high- •-r mathematics. During last year he was principal of the high school at Grampian, Clearfield county. On motion of Mr. Burns, seconded by Mr. Heiss, it was decided to pro ceed to elect a principal. First in older, J. W. Taylor's res ignation as principal was taken up. The secretary road the letter received from Mr. Taylor, which was as fol lows : Eaglesmere, Pa., August 13, 1907. Board of Education, Danville, Pa. Gentlemen: I have just received no tice of my election to a better posi tion and therefore resign the princip alship of the Danville high school. I have notified several agencies so that you will soon have plenty of good men 011 the ground. Sincerely Yours, John W. Taylor. On motion of Mr. Heiss .T. W. Tay lor's resignation was accepted. On motion of Mr. Orth the salary of the principalship was fixed at one hundred dollars per mouth. Mr. Swartz nominated Mr. Bream as principal of the high school. Mr. Burns seconded the nomination. A vote was taken, each of the directors voting for Mr. Bream with the excep tion of Mr. Pursel, who declined to vote. The six votes falling short of a majority, there was no election. A second vote was taken, when each of the directors, Mr. Pursel in the number, voted for Mr. Bream. The seven votes constituting the minority of the school board E. S. Bream was declared elected as principal of the high school for the ensuing term. Picnicked at Columbia Park. The following party from this city enjoyed a days outing at Columbia park yesterday : Misses Mattie, Ruth aud Stella Sandel, Mrs. Stephen John son, Mrs. William Maiers, Mis. B. W. Mnsselinan aud children, Mrs. George Reifsnyder, Mrs. D. A. Sauford, Mrs. Howard Reppert, and daughter Ethel, Frank Swartz, Mrs. Charles Brobst Soldiers' Monument at Blooni. In Columbia county the matter of appropriating |S,OOO by the county to ward the erection of a soldiers' monu nientjin filoomsburg is affording much talk about the county. The great maj ority are in favor of it, and there seems to be no doubt but that the next grand jury will sanction the appro priation. corn bus Of»4 CEMENT It may interest a good many people to learn that sand of certain quality lias developed into a new use—that it may be employed in making concrete blocks for building purposes. What may prove of especial intorest is tho fact that there is a deposit of such sand, unlimited in extent, right here j in Danville; more than this, that con crete brick are being manufactured here with no other constituents than sand and cement and that two large dwellings in which the sand-made blocks are to be used as the building material are in course of erection. There is nothing new in the idea of building a concrete house using blocks made of concrete instead of solid walls constructed with wooden forms. It re mained for our townsman .T. W. Phil lips, however, to demonstrate that a much more beautiful block can be made of cement and sand alone than of cement, sand and gravel, the con stituents generally used; also that the sand block is every bit as hard and | durable as those in which gravel is used. Mr. Philips is erecting two large dwellings on West Mtliouing street. Both bnildings will be wholly of con crete. The first, in which the concrete walls were constructed in the nsual way, with the aid of forms, is com pleted cellar-high. In the second building the cellar walls are well un der way. The entire portion of both buildings above the ground will be built of con crete blocks,which Mr. Phillips is al ready manufacturing 011 the spot. The sand excavated from the cellars of the two dwellings is of a choice and pecu liar grade and proves the very thing that is needed to make concrete blocks. Mr. Phillips began his experiment early in the spring, although he has been much delayed by the non arrival of a machine. Using sand alone, he first produced a block one part cement and five of sand. These blocks now lie on the ground inviting inspection. They have hardened into a mass re sembling rock itself ana would no doubt stand all the strain and pressure that they would ever be subjected to iu r. building. To leave no doubt as to the tensile strength, however, Mr. Philips increased the proportion of ce ment and the brick that will be used iu the buildings are made of one part cement and three of sand, which gives them a tensile strength of 280 pounds to the square inch. The blocks are of two sizes—those ten inches wide for the first story and those eight inches wide for the second story. Each brick is hollow providing a continuous air chamber in the wall, the effect of which is to prevent damp ness, as well ns to preservo warmth iu the house in winter and promote cool ness iu summer. The blocks are very beautiful, in all respects resembling finely dressed stones of uniform size. An advantage, not lightly esteemed, lies iu the fact that no lathing will be required in the concrete house, but that the plaster will be applied direct ly to the blocks anil none but a white coat will be needed. One machine is in operation now,by which two experienced men can turn ont over a hundred brick per day. An other machine will be installed in a few days, which will double the cap acity of the plant. In the course of a few weeks all the blocks required for one liouse will be completed; then will iollow the laying up of the walls, which will be smallest part of the proposition. Mr. Phillips expects to have both dwellings under roof before cold weather. Stung by Bees. While plowiug on the farm of his father, Carroll Wanner, of near Ot tawa, yesterday afternoon, struck a bee's nest, and was so severely stung that it was necessary to summon a physician. Mr. Wagner received the brunt of the bees' attack about the head and neck. His back, also, was a mass of stings. Dr. Snyder, of Wash ingtonville, attention. Get After the Weeds. Many instances of civic pride can be seen in a stroll over our different streets. Some yards are well kept,neat and clean, while others exhibit a growth of weeds which would do credit to an African jungle. Why not make a crusade ou the weeds and thus enhance property,.street aud town. Pomona Orange Picnic. The annual picnic of Pomona grange, ot Montour and Northumberland coun ties, will be held Saturday, August 31st, at Milton park. The meetings will be public and everybody is invit ed. There will be an attractive pro gram ot music, recitations and aTT dresses. The principal speaker will be Dr. Thomas F. Hunt, dean of the school of agriculture at State college. The individual who dilly dallies about hie work soon has no work. JUIO IKB r YOUNG II It is sad to relate that Jumbo, the proud old elk belonging to Hon. Alex ander Billmoyer, which so lately re turned from his triumphal tour to Elks' convention at Philadelphia, has been subjected to the crushing hum iliation of being attacked and soundly thrashed by his young rival, Job, which on Monday suddenly conceived the rash idea of asserting supremacy. The qualifying word "rash" is ad visedly used,for Job, the younger elk, a few hours after his victory paid the penalty of his indiscretion in attack ing the king by being divested of his antlers. Job has attained the same size as Jumbo, both weighing about 1200 pounds. If there was any difference between the two it lay in the fact that Jumbo's horns were a trifle larger than Job's. Up to the present week the antlers of both elks were "in the velvet," when the noble animals are docile and kindly disposed. Both elks were "shedding" tho velvet,however, and which would finish up the process first was a question to which much importance attached, as it is always understood that the moment the antl ers are free from "velvet," the elk's savage nature asserts itself and his horns having became as hard and rigid as bone the animal is in a condition to do fearful execution should he get on a rampage. Job, it appears, "cleaned off" his horns first, while yet the "velvet" in long strings adhered to Jumbo's mas sive antlers. Job decided to celebrate his state of exaltation by vanquishing his sire. Jumbo being unprepared for war the battle was brief and the vic tory was wholly on Job's side. Then came the humilation. Job was driven into the narrow pen used in de horning the elks. A rope was thrown over his antlers, the other end of which was wound around a windlass. By means of the latter the elk was pulled up in one corner where lie could not help himself; his haughtly head was drawn down and in a few min utes, while the expert dehorner plied the saw, the regal antlers, which for thirteen weeks had cost the elk so much care and solicitude,were remov ed from his head. They are splendid specimens, each antler weighing some twenty pounds. When Job realized that he had been shorn of his power lie was crestfallen, indeed. Thero was no longer any light in him and he was permitted to join tho rest of the herd, hater he was seen eating peacefully out of the same trough with Jmnbo, which seemed to look on lu's degraded and humiliated rival with deep compassion. Previously it was old Jumbo whioh went on the rampage and which paid the penalty by having his antlers saw ed off. Jumbo will become savage a little later, but Mr. Billmeyer this year contemplates penning the old elk up and thus obviating the necessity of dehorning him, as his antlers are ex ceedingly fine specimens aud there is a general desire to seo them preserved. T SURD READING FOR FIRE DAHAGE Through her attorney, Fred T. Ike ler, Mrs. Margaret Downs yesterday brought suit against, the Philadelphia and Heading Railway company for damages alleged to have been done to her property from the defendant com pany's engines I The amount of damages desired is not set forth nor was there a plaintiff's statement tiled. It is understood that the company's claim agents will try aud make an amicable settlement with out letting the matter get into court. The laud in question is that which abuts the Oatawissa branch and is in Cleveland township. (Sparks from a Reading engine set fire to growing timber on the land, destroying several hundred dollars' worth of the timber. New R. R. Telegraph Law. Railroads all over the country are making preparations to comply with the law,becoming effective next March that prohibits a railioad telegraph op erator from working more than a nine hour trick in twenty-four hours. In order to evenly divide the time among the three operators the eight-hour trick is beiug made tile standard. In many instances the Pennsylvania rail road has put on an additional operat or wherever necessary. The eight-hour trick has been the standard on the Pennsy for some time, but owing to the fact that the required number of operators could not be secured many of them were required to work sixteen hours. New Express Wagon. Horace B. Bennett.driver for Adams Express company, appeared on the streets yesterday with a handsome uew wagon. The old conveyance, which had been in use for the last two years, was returned to Reading for repairs. Destiny is the sum of mau's daily life in the world. LIE CROWD A! EMIRS' NIC The succession ot showers yesterday morning witli a lowering sky which portended a rainy day,was not suffici ent to chill the enthusiasm felt by farmers and others in behalf of the Tri-county picnic and while it was still raiuing innumerable vehicles with DeWitt's park as their objective point might, have been seen streaming along the roads in every direction. It is only natural to infer that many families, especially those from some distance were deterred from attending the pic nic by the unfavorable weather. Nev ertheless the throng in attendance was as large as at any time in the past. Two thousand six hundred tickets were sold. No charge was mnde for children. Allowing for these and oth ers who gained admittance without paying it seems safe to estimate tl.o number who were on the ground at between four and five thousand. The picnickers arrived early. Eight two-horse carriages were at the park before 7 o'clock. Fortunately the rain ceased before iioon. The sky was clear during a portion of the time in the af ternoon and the sun shone brightly. In most instances dinner and supper were partaken of in the park. The music was an enjoyable feature. Both the Mechanicsville and the Ex change band played in Danville during the forenoon. The Exchange band was organized only last fall. Yesterday afforded the second occasion in which it had ever played away from home and was the second time that it had ever marched. The baud played well. As uiiglit|be inferred there was plenty of music at the park. The two bands each escorted by four members of the Tri-couutv Picnic association, march ed around the course playing alternate ly- Dancing went on merrily all day long and afforded no end of pleasure to the young people. Those younger in years found delight on the merry go-round, which was kept working overtime. The races,embracing several contests that were new and had the charm of novelty, seemed to be theceuter of at traction and were witnessed by at least one thousand people. The junior bag race,in which there were eleven contestants, was won by Haymoni! Ammermau, of Riverside. The victor iu the senior hag rase was Charles Scruton, of Riverside. There were ten contestants. One of the most exciting eveuts proved to he the potato race, which was won by Harry O'Brien, gof Dan ville, in one minute and thirty-seven seconds. Charles Thomas, of Grov anin.'who won in the first part, was a close second in the race, his time be ing one rniDute and thirty-eight sec onds. Iu the ladies' wheelbarrow race there were nine contestants as follows : Mrs. Charles Arter, Annie Springer, Margaret Beyers,Mrs. Ella Kauffman, Mrs. William Paugh, Mrs. Sadie Suy tler, Mrs. W. Walters, Mrs. Amos Wol torth and Mrs. W. L. Kaull'mau. This race was likewise very amusing, the winner being Mrs. Charles Arter. Probably the most interesting of all the contests was the Chinese lantern race, which is something new in this section. The winner was Clark Bleck er, of Grovauia, who ran over the course of one hundred yards, lighting the lantern on the way and returning with it in forty-four seconds. Wil liam Kindt, of Mausdale, was a close second and would probably have won had it not occurred that he hail bad luck iu lighting the matches and was obliged to make four attempts before lie succeeded. DIST ATTORNEY TAKES NO CHANCES District Attorney Christian A. Small went to West Berwick on Wednesday afternoon for the purpose of looking after the bail that was given in a number of the white slave cases there on Tuesday. The district attorney is taking no chanoes, and he say the bail must he good. In an interview on Wednesday morn ing, Mr. Small stated that, no "straw" bail would be accepted in the cases. A number want to get out of jail, and an effort is being made to get them bail. However, from present indica tions, it looks as though they would stay in jail until their turn for trial is here. Fell From Wagon. Harry Mourer,East Mahoning street, is suffering from the effects of a fall sustained Saturday evening by falling from a wagon. Among other injuries his thumb was dislocated and bis face was badly cut and bruised. Dr. Shultz rendered surgical aid. It is estimated that 1,250,000 men are occupied in digging coal for tlie world. ESTABLISHED IN 1855 in nil] VAULT COMPLETED The fino vault erected iu the Odd Fellows' cemetery by t!ie U. L. John ston family of this county is uow com pleted and on Monday the remains of Charles L. Johnston and Mary A. Johnston, husband and wife, were re moved from the lot adjoining and placed in the vault. The vault is situated near the mau soleum erected by Mrs. Geisinger and like that structure presents an impos ing appearance. As its name implies, it is partially below the surface of the ground, only about three-fourth of it being exposed to view. The vault is fifteen feet, six inches long and thir teen feet,two inches wide. The height of the strcuture in front, is ten feet; in the rear only about four feet is above the surface. The vault is built of Mt. Airy gran ite. On the inside it is lined with Tennessee marble ami bronze. The massive door also is of bronze. The work was begun on April Ist. The vault contains twelve cata combs. The remains of Charles L. Johnston and his wife which were re moved on Monday are the only bodies that the vault contains. The deceased couple were resitlenst of West Hem lock township, Montour county. Charles L. Johnston departed this life twenty-one years ago; his wife died two and a half years since. Both were buried in the large plot owned by the family just below the vault. The rep resentatives of the Charles L. Johnston family, by whom the vault was erect ed, are John J. Johnston of Valley township and Augustus J. Maus of West Hemlock township, this county. MRS GEORGE RUDY'S EXCITING EXPERIENCE Mrs. George Rudy, of Bast Dan ville, is suffering from the effects of a bad fall sustained in stepping from a trolley car while it was in motion on Tuesday. Mrs. Rudy left Danville on the 10 o'clock car, whichy.vas in charge of Conductor Franl; Meuch, who has re turned to the Danville and Bloomsburg line after an absence of some months. The conductor formerly on duty.it ap pears, was well acquainted with Mrs. Kudy aud generally stopped the car at her home, which is near the school house. Mrs. Rudy did not think it neces sary to tell the naw conductor to let her off and he ran by her home. Mrs. Rudy who is not in pood health, be came very much excited when the car did not stop and rising called to the conductor. The latter instantly pro ceeded to stop the ear. but before he could bring it to a standstill the wo man in a highly nervous and excited state dashed by him aud jumped off the car, which was still running at a fast clip. The woman struck the ground and rebounding was thrown some distance from the track, the force of the im pact rendering her unconscious. She was carried to her home, where she finally revived somewhat, but later suffered a relapse. Dr. Curry was call ed who found that no bones were brokf en and that there were no symptoms of internal injury. She was still in disposed yesterday a.s the result of the shock. riRS.
