Geu'l Manager PAPER BEING CIRCULATED Pursuant to the action of council at | its last meeting wherein it was decid- i ed to proceed with the paving of East j Market stroet a paper for signers was j putin circulation among the property i owners yesterday. The terms for paving are wholly different from what was submitted to the property owners on Mill street, who paid not only for the curbiug,&c., but also for a fixed portion of the pav ing. On East Market street the prop erty owners are required to pay for the curbing and the sidewalk changes only, which reduces the cost to a min imum. Naturally the general plan meets with approval all along the street,those who held out against pav ing when the matter was agitated be fore now being among the most en thusiastic supporters of the proposi tion. The agreement to which the prop erty owners are asked to subscribe is very full and carefully worded,protect ing alike the borough and the owuers of property in the various ways in i which error aud misunderstanding is ! likely to occur. It reads as follows: "Iu consideration that the borough ; of Danville, grades, paves and mac adamizes iu such proportion as may then be determined on East Market street JU the borough of Danville. We, the undersigned, respectively owners of real estate and property ad- ' joining aud abutting on said portion of said street do each for ourselves, oui respective heirs, executors,admin- j strators aud assigns hereby covenant and agree with the said borough of Danville as follows: 1. That we will pay for all curbing iu front of our respective proxierties that may be done by or for the said borough in the making of the said im provement; 2. That we iyill at out own proper cost aud expense, widen elevate or depress and reconstruct as circumstance may require the pave ments iu front of our respective prop erties or that we will pay the said borough for doing the same immedi ately upon the completion of the said work . 3. that wr will iu all other re spect- conform to aud comply with all conditions aud requirements found necessary in the making of said im provements. aud (4) that we will aud that we (Jo each hereby waive any and all of our respective rights and claims to damages tint may b3 sustained by us or by our respective properties by reas >u of or resultiug from the mak ing of the said improvements iu the premises.''

THE SOLDIERS' MONUMENT The soldiers' monument committee, although seemingly inert, lias by no means been asleep while the trustees of Grove church and the committee of council have been exerting themselves to secure the legal abandonment of the old cemetery and to bring about the establishment* of a city park on its site. The activity and the success of the trustees and the borough council have proven a valuable object lesson reveal ing to the soldiers' monument commit tee how much may be accomplished by well directed and perserving effort as well as the fact that the people of Dan ville are not deficient in civic pride, but will respoud to an appeal when it is clearly indicated that the credit and the welfare of the town are at stake. The chairman of the soldiers' monu ment committee on Saturday stated that in his opinion the time is now ripe for dealing the final stroke in the work of raising the money needed. As is well known a large amount of money has beeii subscribed for the soldiers' monument, while a general canvass of the town has scarcely more than begun. Tne public park, whigji is now an assured success, he agreed was the logical site for a soldiers' monument. Indeed, in view of its long history as a place of sepulture the park would hardly be complete without a memori al of this or some other kind. The idea of erecting a monument to the soldier dead in the park is bound to prove popular; more than this, it will assist in bringing all classes in full harmony with theborough's act of taking over the old cemetery. Just how much will be accomplish ed <>r how speedily results will follow remains to be seen, but the chairman of the committee Saturday stated that he would make an effort to get the solicitors, who already have been ap pointed,down to work at once. Let us hope that such an effort will be made to accomplish the object as was never put forth before and that by the time the borough council has a park estab lished on the site of the cemetery, the soldiers' monument committee will come forward with a handsome monu ment as a further ornament to the spot. REST HADE EASY. There Will Be Less Sleeplessness When Danville People Learn This. Can't rest at night with a bad back, A lame, a weak or an aching one. Doan's Kidney Pills are for bad backs, They cure every form of kidney ills, From common backache to diabetes. They are endorsed by Dnnville peo ple. Levi Alleger, baker, of 102 North Spruce Street,says: "I found more re lief from the use of Doan's Kidney Pills than from anything I ever used for kidney trouble. About eight years ago I had considerable lameness in my back, over the hips and a continual aching right over the Kidneys. These pains clung to me and increased in severity if 1 stooped or lifted. Occas ionally sharp pains would pass through me and shoot up between my should ers, along my spine. All this caused me considerable suffering and unnfitted me for my work. I could not sleep well at night and in the morning would arise tired aud unrefreshed. I read about Doan's Kidney Pills curing others and got a box. After taking them as directed I felt better and con tinued the treatment until I felt all right. I made a statement iu 1896. in which I said that Doan's Kidney Pills had cured me. I can only reiterate that statement at this time, l always keep Doan's Kidney Pills in the !im#a and whenever a cold or a strain brings on a tried or weak back they never fail to remove the trouble.

Reading's Busy Season, Never iu its history has the Sha mokin division of the Reading Rail way which includes the Gatawissa branch, experienced such a reign of prosperity as it fs at present,and with tiie rolling equipment taxed to its ut most capacity it is next to impossible to keep yards and sidings from being blocked almost continuously. When the fact is takeu into consid eration that July and August are gen erally the slack months this condition of affairs is all the more remarkable. The yard at Newberry is blocked al most constantly, and it is nothing un usual for 500 cars to stand waiting there for power to draw them to their destination. All the regular crows that can be se cure:! are called to do extra service, which tho extra men outside of the legal time required for them to rest are constantly on the go. Freight engineers who during this season in previous years considered themselves very lucky to draw £IOO for a month's wages are drawing as high as #1i)0, while firemen in many cases are making -?100. •] At this season railroaders are gener ally plentiful,but there is now a mark ed scarcity, particularly oi firemen, and as a result the officials are greatly handicapped in their efforts to keep things moving. Iu order to facilitate matters crews from the main line have been pressed into service to aid iu cleaning up the accumulated freight. John Kiha, a prominent dealer of Vin ing , la., sa.va: "I have been selling DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills for about a year and they have given better satisfaction than any pill I ever sold. There are a dozen people here who have used them and they give perfect satisfaction in every case. I have used them myself with fine re sults." Sold BEAUTIFUL DECORATIONS The decorations at the Grove Pres ,bvterian church on foot for a month or more past.are now practically com pleted and a number of people have already visited the church to take a look at the improvements in order to form an idea of what is the very lat est or most modern in church decora tions. With the exception of a few touches in the vioiuity of the pulpit the main auditorium is completed and the scaf folding has been removed. The Chapel at the rear is also fiuished, although in one of the small class rooms used by the Suuday school the decorations yet remain to be applied. The decorations are in the hands of Fred M. Bottcher, of Elmira, N. Y., who served an apprenticeship under and was employed ten years by H. F. Dapplesteiu of New York, one of the leading decorators of the country, whose contracts during recent years embraced decorations at the White house, Washington, D. C. Naturally, therefore, a very high degree of ex cellence would be associated with the work doue ou the drove church. The contract has been carried through very expeditiously aud the quality of the work speaks lor itself. Iu the matter of coloi or shading alone would there be any room for controversy even among the most critical As pertains to such qualities all those who do not possess critical knowledge will justly defer to the superior taste of the dec orator. However opiniou may differ as to some of the details all must be impressed with the general effect, which reveals that the master hand of an artist has beeu at work. The new carpet arrived Saturday, aud will be laid during the present week. The Ostermoor cushions arc ex pected daily. The carpet is of a terra cotta color, while the cushions, of velvet, are of a gold biowu. No just estimate of the decoratious can be formed until the carpet and cushions are in place. The combined effect mav prove a revelation. Steps are being taken by the Grove cougregatiou preliminary to making an additional and important improve ment uot contemplated at the st art This consists in bringing the choir down from its loft over the vestibule and installing it along with the pipe organ, at the rear of the pulpit. Whether the preseut organ will be used or a uew one procured will be de termined a little later. This matter has been placed in the hands of Architect J. H. Brugler.who will produce plans for an enlarged platform, that will afford room for the organ aud choir in addition to the pulpit. '' We never repent of eating too little," was one of the ten rules of life of Thomas Jefferson, president of the United States, aud the rule applies to every one without exception during this hot weather, because it is hard j for food, even in small quantities to; be digested when the blood is at high temperature. At this season we should j eat sparingly and properly.

The same day Mr. Reeder missed a sum of money, aud later found iu his barn a number of articles which were identified as having been part of the stock at the hardware store of William Dildine at Exchange. All summer Mr. Dildine has beeu missing merchandise from his store, but all efforts to locate the thief prov ed of no avail. When Mr Reeder's farm hand left suddenly aud without giving notice of his departure coincid ent with the disappearance of Mr. Reeder's cash, a solution of the mys tery was offered. A search was made and sure enough, secreted behind the granary in the barn was found a mini ature hardware stock. Why the man did not take the stolen property with him is a mystery.

Cook, a puddler's helper at the big mill, was very ser iously burned last evening as the re sult or a cinder tap exploding. Arthur, who was on the night turn, went on duty shortly after 3 o'olock. The aocident occurred about 5:45 o'clock. The cinder tap being ready for dumping the young maa as was his custom wheeled the carriage con taining the semi-liquid mass around to one end of the furnace, where he dumped it on the ground. A small pool of water lay on the earth, which was probably not observ ed by Mr. Cook. At all events he tilt ed the carriage and dumped the cin der out on the very spot where the water lay. The result was a terrible explosion, which caused a loud report and threw the molteu cinder arouud in every direction. Mr. Cook was struck squaroly iu the breast,the liquid cinder running down over his abdomen and coming iu con tact with his arm, literally roasting his flesh in several largo spots. His j face was also burned slightly. He was hurled from his feet by the force of \ the explosion and lay in au agouy of i pain. John English, the puddler of whom | Mr. Cook was helper, was also burned \ slightly as well as Charles Woolrich.a helper at another furauce. These men, however, were able to render assist ance to the injured mau uutil others gathered at the spot. Dr. Cameron Sliutlz was called to the mill, who treated the injured man, relieving his pain somewhat, after which ho was driven to the home of his father, in Valley township.

If any such trees shall die the same may be replaced under the above con ditions and the same amount will be allowed. The amount of credit for planting of trees is limited to 25 per cent, of the whole amount of the road tax.

WELL KNOWN BRAKEMAN KILLED Francis Longenberger, a member of the P. & R. switoli crew, lost his life Thursday as the result of falling un der tiie cars while at work in the yards at this place. The accident occurred between 8 and 9 o'clock. The switch engine was shifting cars on the track leading to the Structural Tubing works. At a point a short distance north of Boy er's coal yard, Mr. Longenberger at tempted to step from the teuder of the locomotive to the empty gondola next to it. He made a misstep and fell on the track, one of the wheels of the front truck passing over his left leg just above the ankle. Notwithstand ing the terrible injury Inflicted the man was self-possessed enough to throw his body into a new position and quickly withdraw his leg before the second wheel of the truck passed over it. By this cool-headed act he probably prevented his foot from be ing severed, although as the sequel shows he had sustained fatal injury. The injury was the usual shocking sort produced when a car wheel runs over a human limb. The bones were i broken into fragments or crushed, ' while the flesh on oue side of the limb was lacerated and the fragments of bones protruded. The injured man was carried into the home of his uncle, Joseph Longen berger, Walnut street, where Dr. Pat ten was called, who later on was join ed by Dr. Walter Boyer. There was not the remotest suspic ion that the man was fatally injured. It was even thought by the physicians after examining the injury that am putation might not be necessary, al- j though it was admitted that the pos- j sibility of saving tho leg was remote. ! The injured man was placed on board the switch engine and, accoin- j panied by Joseph Longenberger and ' : Dr. Boyer, was taken to ins home at | Oatawissa. It was decided to take him | to a hospital for treatment and at noon j he was placed on the P. & R. passeng jer train for the purpose of removing ' ; him to the Miners' hospital at Ashland. | He was then seemingly strong and in I good spirits. j Arriving at East ; Mahauoy Junction, | however, he showed signs of weakness and in a tew minutes he expired. His | deatli caused the greatest surprise and can be accounted for only on the theory that he sustained internal injury, j Francis Longenberger was fifty-six years of age. He had been on the rail road nearly all his life. For many years he was employed on the switch er at this city. He leaves a wife and several children, the latter grown up. He was a man of excellent habits and ; was held in the highest esteem by his , t'ellow workmen and the company em- J ploying him. The funeral of Francis Longenberg -1 er, who died on Thursday following !an accident on the Philadelphia & Beading railroad at this place, was held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at Oatawissa The funeral was oue of the largest ever held at Oatawissa and was attended by a large number of people from this city. Mr. Longenberger, as a brakeman on the Reading, was known to a large number of the men employed at the industries in Danville, and was very ! popular.

On Mill street this evident los* of vitality is attributed by some to tho brick paving and the sidewalks,which cover the roots of the trees onttiug off moisture and possibly air. This is probably not wholly.the cause, as the same condition is noted at several places on streets that are not paved, the leaves of the trees tiiere presenting j tiie appearance of early fall. It has \ been a noticeable fact this summer that the trees nowhere about town present the thrifty and healthy appear ance of other years. It might be in teresting to know;the exact cause. Tnree of the shade trees at the Dan ville National bank have gone into a decline, the leaves at tho top and at | the end of the limbs dying. In order to arrest the progress of the blight each of the trees was closely trimmed | yesterday. The leaves that remain have a fresh and healthy appearance, I but whether the trimuiiug will have | the desired effect of preserving the trees remains to be seen.

General Manager H. T. Hecht yesterday stated that the works are not embarrassed by any deficiency in the water supply, although, the dam is dry. There are other sources of wat er that are available at the works, among them being the artesian well sunk just south of the mill several vears ago. This well, which is 480 feet deep, at all times yields an un failing supply of water. TEN YEARS IN BED "For ten years I was confined to my bed witli disease of my (kidneys," writes R. A. Gray, J.
