A RIG CROWD
AND TWO RANDS
The annual outing of the Peoples
Ideal Telephone company, which has
gotten to be one of the largest and
most popular picnics that is held in
this section, took place Saturday at
Billmeyer's park near Washington
ville. It was a most enjoyable day
from beginning to end, everything
combining to add to the pleasure.
Those in charge of the affair estim
ated that there were at least 2500 peo
ple on the grounds, and they came
from all over the country—from Mill
ville, Bloomsburg, Bnckhorn aud
Jerseytown on the one side and from
Milton. Watsontown and Turbotville
on the other—aud from all over the
intervening county they came, until
in some places the countryside ap
peared deserted.
Two bands, those from Exchange
and Buckhorn, furnished music for
the occasion, and furnished it in large
quantities. Other amusements were a
base ball game between Kaseville and
Wahingtonville, and other games in
digenous to the picnic. And then too
the woods were full of good things to
eat, which added not a little to the
delight.
The officers had on exhibition the
company's charter recently procured
from the State, and also a stock;certifi
cate, one of which will soon be issued
to each subscriber.
New OliurcL Soon to be Dedicated.

ELECTRIC CURRENT
KILLS TREES
✓
During au interview with Borough
Electricau Smith the other day some
facts were learueu relative to the ac
tion of electricity, which suggests tiiat
the electric light wires may in many
cases be responsible for the uuhealth
ful appearance of the trees about town,
which has been commented on in these
columns.
It was observed at many places that
the trees began to decliue, or at least,
to take on the appearance of early
autumn, before the summer was more
than half over. Not a few of the
trees at present look as though they
were dying.
The borough electrician explain
that the electric fluid transmitted by
wire is fatal to the life of trees as
well as to the life of any other organ
ism. When it is permitted to come in
contact with the limbs or,branches
slow death is pretty sure to follow.
The decline may ensue irnmjdiately,
or there may be no perceptible results
until the year following.
Property owners, who have due re
gard for their shade trees, the electri
cian states,make a great mistake when
they object to having them properly
trimmed, so that the electric light
wires may swing perfectly free. Bet
tor sacrifice a few limbs than to have
the branches of the tree in constant or
even occasional contact with the live
wires.
It is true, trees evidently declining
may be fouud that are not in contact
with wires, but in a large number of
instances the damage was done last
year or previously. There are, no
doubt, a few other causes to which the
decline may be attributed but it would
be well at ail events for property own
ers to examine their trees to see that
none of them are in danger of coming
in contact with the electric current.
Threw Himself Before Trolley.
Anson Longan,of Milton, au invalid
aged sixty-six years, committed sui
cide Monday evening about 8:30
o'clock by throwing himself in front
of a moving trolley car. He was in
stantly killed, his body being terribly
mangled. He chose a place directly in
front of his home on South Front
street, in which to end his life.
Mr. Longan had been in ill health
or some time and had often been de
spondent on this account. He was
practically helpless, needing assistance
in order to get around. Monday even
ing he managed to get from his home
to the street unaided, and as the 8:30
trolley car came along he stepped in
front of it. There is a street light
about 100 feet from where the accident
happened,aud Motormau Meagley saw
the man plainly,but did not have time
to stop his car.
Mr. Longan was crushed about the
head and was probably instantly kill
ed. His body was dragged about thirty
feet and was maugled almost beyond
any semblance to a human form.
'Squire William C. Miller empanelled
a jury and held an iuquest. The ver
dict was to the effect that death was
caused by injuries received from the
deceased's throwing himself in front
of a street car with suicidal intent.
Mr. Longan was sixty-six years of
age and had lived in Milton all his
life. He is survived by his widow
aud nine grown children. None of the
family was at home at the time of the
accident.

STATE EXPERTS
APPROVE WORK
A. S. Clay, engineer of the State
highway department, accompanied by
liis first assistaut, W. L. Butler,arriv
ed in Danville Friday afternoon and
made an inspection of the paving on
North Mill street. The two experts
weut practically over the whole pave
ment, from Centre street to Chambers
street. '
Daring an interview with Mr. Clay
following the inspection that gentle
man expressed himself as highly pleas
ed with the quality of the work. Dur
ing previous visits, before the brick
were laid, Mr. Clay likewise express
ed approval of the work. Yesteiday's
visit had to do mainly with the final
stage of the improvement, in which the
laying of brick is embraced.
The surface of the long street, neat
ly jiaved presents a thoroughly finish
ed and artistic appearance. Mr. Clay
spoke in unqualified praise of the job
and said that it was one of the best
pieces of work that he had ever seen.
During his visit, the engineer took
occasion to coiumeud|George|S. Maiers,
state inspector, for the close atten
tion lie had given the work and the
excellent results that have been achiev
ed.
Whether State Highway Commis
sioner Hunter, will visit Danville or
not while the reconstruction of the
street is in progress is uncertain. Lat
er on lie may putin an appearance
should other business relating to his
department call him in this direction.
North Mill street as far as the in
spection extended is now ready for the
sand, which will be sprinkled over the
surface today. The inspection caused
a slight delay,which along with some
other hindrances, will make it im
possible to get the street open for
traffic by tonight as was expected
earlier in the week.
Oar Number 2 Is a Hoodoo.
Car No. 2 of the Columbia & Mon
tour Electric Railroad company,which
was wrecked Thursday, is the "Jonah"
car on the line. It has been in many
wrecks and has killed two people.
Prior to the wreck which occurred
on Thursday afternoon near the "dou
ble track" bridge, when seven per
sons were injured, this car had been
in all kinds of trouble. It ran over
little Ruth Swayze, at Berwick, and
caused her death, shortly after the
completion of the line. Some time lat
er it rnn over and killed Herman Wal
ters, a German peddler, above Lime
Ridge, on August 21, 1903. The same
car ran into and killed a horse for a
man named Shuman at Espy. It has
killed no less than four cows.
While going down Main street hill ■
in Bloomsburg a few years ago it got j
beyond the control of the Motormau, !
and crashed into aB. & 8. train at ]
the crossing, and on several different j
occasions it has jumped the track, I
causing much delay on the line.
However, the wreck of Thursday!
damaged the car to such an extent that ;
it will be again in running order, and i
there is some talk among the motor-!
men of getting the company to change j
the uumber of the car, for they think ;
it is a "hoodoo. "
PERFECT CONFIDENCE.
Danville People Have Good Reason For
Complete Rehunc.-.
Do you know how —
To find quick relief from backache;
To correct distressing urinary ills; :
TD surely cure sick kidneys'
Just one way—your neighbors know j
Have used Doau's Kidney Pills;
Have proved their wortii in many
tests.
Here's Danville testimony.
Mrs. Edward E. Lunger, of 11 ;
Church street, says:"l still think a
great deal of Doau's Kidney Pill's. I
would not think of being without j
them in the house. I made a statement,
for publication in 189t> in which I gave
my opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills on i
account of the great benefit I had re
ceived from their use. X have never
had any cause to regret making that
statement and now over eight years
afterwards, I can reiterate the state
ment. Before taking this remedy I
suffered for months with backache aud
lameness and sorenss in the back. The
pain over my hips was continuous and
when on my feet it was one steady
gnawing ache. It hurt me to do any
thing requiring a bending position,
sharp twinges would catch me so sud
denly that I had to brace myself until
they stopped. The kidney secretions
annoyed me and I often suffered from
headaches. I read statements given by
people in this vicinity who had used
Doan's Kidney Pills aud concluded to
try them. They did me more good than
any other medicine lever tried. After
a few doses I no longer experienced
such severe pain and finally the pain
was removed entirely. The annoyance
caused by the irregularities of the kid
ney secretions was entirely removed.
I can honestly recommend Doau's Kid
ney Pills to those suffering as I did."

MOLTEN IRON
RUNS INTO SHOE
Charles Crumb, an employe in the
moulding department of the Dauville
stove works, had his right foot shock
ingly burnerl by molten metal Thurs
day afternoon, the accident probably
being one of the worst of its kind that
ever occurred at that plant.
The accident took place while the
heat was being poured. The annex at
the eastern end of the plant where the
snap flasks are used, like the fouudry
proper, is equipped with an overhead
trolley, a modern contrivance' by the
means of which the molten iron is
run out from the cupola to any part
of the moulding room where the flasks
or moulds are situated.
Charles Crumb,being unoccupied for
a few minutes, leisurely threw him
self over a pile of flasks. His body was
out of range but his legs unfortunate
ly extended into tiie passage way
which is supposed to be clear iu order
to admit the ladles as suspended from
overhead they pass swiftly hack
ward aud forward.
Crumb was probably unaware of his
real position. At all events, when one
of the moulders came along witli a
ladle of molten iron he was struck
by the vessel which tipped over and
caused a quantity of the liquid metal
to splash out striking Crumb's right
leg and running into his shoe.
The terrible effect cau easily be im
agined. The injured man was iu such
an agony of pain as to be helpless. The
other workmen quickiv flew to his res
cue, removing his shoe and freeing
his foot from the burning iron. Brief
as the interval was, however, the
molten iron enclosed iu the shoe did
fearful execution. The burns are the
worst over the top of the foot and be
tween the toes. At several spots the
flesh is burned very deeply and recov
ery will be slow.
The injured boy was carried to the
home of his parents in Ouilck's addi
tion, where lie received surgical atten
tion.
Game Is Plentiful All Through State.
' Our reports show that the game
will be more plentiful in Pennsyl
vania this year than it has been for
many years past." So states Dr. Jos
eph Kalbfus, secretary of the State
game commission, after compiling the
latest reports of his deputies.
Dr. Kalbfus also said that there are
more quail now than there ■ has been
at any time during the past five years
and that the quail imported by the
commission from the southern states
are thriving and increasing rapidly.
Rabbits are so plentiful as to be
come a nuisance in many localities;
there is nn abundance of pheasants and
more deer than have been known for
years. One of the reasons for the ab
undance of game is the protection giv
en quail and pheasants, especially by
the people of the rural districts, dur
ing the winter.
Dr. Kalbfus also said that the revis
ed edition of the game aud fish laws
of Pennsylvania would be ready for
general distribution by Saturday

: INJURED IN
TROLLEY COLLISION
Trolley travel between this city and
Bloouißburg Thursday was varied with
a head,on collision between a Danville
and a Columbia & Montour car, in
i which several persons were injured,
although none very seriously. The ac
cident occurred at a point a little more
than midway between the Fishing
1 creek bridge and Bloomsburg, each
crew insisting that it had the right to
the block.
The D. & B. car that figured in the
collision was one of the summer cars,
which left here at 12:30 o'clock in
charge of Conductor Frank Mensch
and Motorman John Berger.
There were only a few passengers on
board, among whom was Borough
Solioitor E. S. Gearhart.
At the Fishing Creek bridge the
Danville crew declares that it found
no warning signal light and assuming
that the block was clear proceeded on
its way to Bloomsburg. When nearly
opposite the double track bridge this
side of Bloomsburg, at a point more
than half way between the signal boxes
they met the Columbia and Montour
car bowling along at a rapid rate.
Motorman Berger as soon as he took
in the situation reversed his car It
was too late, however, to avert collis
ion. The Columbia and Montour car
struck the Danville car. There was a
loud crash as the splintered glass flew
in every direction, while the force of
the impact and the jolt which follow
ed as the cars left the track threw the
passengers off the seats.
The Danville car being much the
heavier of the two the brunt of the
collision fell on the Columbia and
Montour car, which was thrown near
ly crosswise over the track. Its front
vestibule was demolished and nearly
all the glass in the car was broken.
Neither did the Danville car wholly
escape damage. In the collision the
front end of the Columbia and Montour
car slid under the Danville car break- 1
iug the front truck of the latter and j
throwing the car from the track rails. |
The pasengers on the D. & B. car, !
with one exception, escaped injury. A !
stranger claimed that he was cut by j
| glass but refused to give his name, j
| That the passengers all had a good [
j fright, however, goes without saying. |
| The passengers in the Columbia & ;
Montour car on its way to Catawissa j
were not so fortunate. Tilden Hop- I
per, the motorman, jumped, and by so j
doing probably saved his life. Charles
Stahl, the conductor, remained in the
S car. The following passengers were I
j injured :
| F. B. Sinjjley, Beaver township,
' linger crushed and back injured.
Anthony Thomas, Beaver township,
back slightly injured,
i S. L. Horlacher, Beaver township, j
I injured slightly about the back.

i Alou/.o Fegley, of Catawissa, cut ,

j body
Charles Stahl, motorman, Blooms-
I burg, was injured about the back,
limbs and had his left arm sprained. ;
The C. &. M. crew are equally sure
| that they had the block and declare 1
they threw the signal on the Danville
car, which they knew was due. The ;
Daiivi..u crew, however, points to the
fact that although its car was on the '
slow run it had covered more than
one-half of the distance between the
j two signal boxes, which would inui
| cate that the Danville car was on th
block first.
; The collision caused a delay
! traffic, bat both cars were put back on
the tracks in an hour or so,after which
they were run to their respective car
i barns for repairs.

Veteran Killed in Leap from Train.
Jumping from a passenger train :
I an old soldier met a terrible death at j
j Fisher's Ferry below Sunbury yester
| day morning. The train was running j
I at full speed, but he was anxious to J
get off and before anyone could detain
him, leaped from the stap into th» j
darkness. His body was dashed along
the ground by its'own momentum and I
i he was crushed, and his face was torn
and filled with cinders so as to be al- j
most unrecognizable.
' He was taken to Harrishurg, where 1
J the remains were prepared for burial, j
The only means of identification found
: on him was a Grand Army button.
His body will be held there a reason
ably length of time in the hope that
| his ideutity may be learned.
A Good Ohestnut Crop.
! Judging from the burrs there is a
fair prospect or a good chestnut crop. j
C. K. Sober, the well known grower j
of Paragou chestnuts in Irish valley, |i
is especially sanguine about the pros
pects in his orchard. Last season Mr. |
Sober sent the bulk of his chestnuts to |,
California where they were sold at $7 j
| a bushel. The great object of chestnut ,
! growers now is to discover some means j
j of destroying the chestnut weavel that j
is so destructive to chestnuts after
i they are gathered and the State agri- 1
cultural department is applyiug itself
j to that end.

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swatnp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled togo often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug

DRIVING ACCIDENT
ON THE BRIDGE
O. C. Ritter, the East Market street
grocer, while enjoying a drive on the
river bridge with his wife and a
couple of lady friends, Monday, met
with a bad breakdown, which made it
necessary for the party to complete the
journey by trolley.
They were driving along leisurely
when the rear wheel on the right side
of the surrey slipped into the groove
along side of the rail on the trolley
track. Mr. Ritter undertook to drive
off the track. The wheel, which was
pretty firmly held in the grove, stood
the strain, but the two wheels on the
opposite side of the carriage oddly
enough collapsed.
As they went to pieces the surrey
on that side dropped to a level with
the floor of the bridge. The horse for
tunately was a quiet animal and made
no effort to get away. The occupants
were thrown to one side of the vehicle
as it went down but they escaped in
jury.
