The session was a lengthy one. The routine work was rushed through as quickly as possible in order to get at the proposals for the new light unit, which it was understood under the circumstancs would form the theme for protracted discussion before the contract would be awarded. The reading of the bids occupied nearly an hour. Eacli embraced sever al pages ot typewritten matter and was very technical. The specifica tions differed much, tne figures like wise varying. It only remained for the committee to make a selection, selecting the best machine, embody ing the best principle, for the money. Each of the representatives was giv en an opportunity to speak at length on the relative merits of his machine, after which the committee retired to the adjoining room to make a selec tion. The committee returned to the room after which council went into execu tive session. The committee recom meuded the purchasing of an engine and generator of low speed in pref erence to the higher speed unit. It recommended that the bid of the Al'is- Chalmers company at 18600 be accept ed, as it is the lowest bid and in the estimation of the committee the best of all of the engines and generators offered. On motion of Mr. Jacobs it was ordered that the'AUis-Chalmers prop osition be accepted on condition that articles in agreement Nos. 1 2 and'S be stricken out The following gentlemen represent ing the different manufacturing firms bidding were present at the meeting : J.

DECEMBER 12, 1907 DEIN« K mm The soldiors' monument committee has selected a design for the memorial to be erected in the new park. The design was selected from one of the four beautifnl oreations produced esp ecially for the committee by the Van Amringo Granite company,which will build the monument. The memorial will he in the form of an obelißb seventy-three feet high staudiug on a base thirty feet square, the whole being constructed of fine granite. On each corner of the base will be a graulte ball three feet in diameter. At the base of the obelisk wiJJ be four figures of hsroio size one on each side, representing the infant ry, artillery, cavalry and the goddess of peace. The cost of the memorial will be about $15,000. Little Montoui will enjoy the dis tinction of having a mouumeut that is unique. In this State obelisks are ex ceedingly rare, if not wholly absent, military memorials generally assum ing one or another of the several forms that is familiar. Hon. James Foster, chairman of the soldiers' monument committee, has been interested in the matter of a design for six years past. Not only has he looked over the battle fields of Gettysburg and Antietam but he has also examined a large number of soldiers' monuments erected by the Grand army posts at different towns throughout the country. While none of these met his ideas as to just what a memorial should be like in order to suit our county and the site selected here he did obtain many ideas, which assisted him to outline the grand me morial that has just been adopted. Mr Foster told the Van Amriuge people just what he thought Montour county wanted in the way of a monu ment aud he made himself so clear that the memorial produced by the artist* captured the entire committee at first sight. In a few days the public will have an opportunity of judging as to the merits of the memorial. On Saturday Mr. Foster stated that us soon as practicable the representation or design of the monument as produc ed by the Van Amringe company will be neatly framed and placed in one of the windows on Mill street where it can be viewed by the passers-by. The monument will also be reproduced on small photographs, for the use of the solicitors, who will canvass (lie town during the coming winter. As soon as the necessary formality can be complied with a contact with the Van Amriuge company will be ex ecuted, after which work on the me morial will begin in the company's yards at Boston. Meanwhile it will be the duty of Montour county to raise the money for the beautiful memorial The sum needed teems a large one,but the committee has confidence that it can be raised. An effort will be made to have the monumeut erected and paid for by the Fourth of July. HE WAS AN "UM BRELLA MECHANIC" Of the small army of tramps that infest the country, while a large per centage are oriminal in their nature, another proportion would appear to bo half demented and dangerous to the public on that score. There is scarcely a week but one or more of the tramps given shelter in the lock-up show evidence of being weak minded. A case in point occur red on Monday. During the evening an odd specimen of humauity turned up at the hospital for the insane, where he made himself obnoxious by throwing stones against the building. The authorities got rid of him finally and he appeared down town, where he got luto the lock-up. He refused to attend to the fire dur ing the night and iu the morning the bastile was cold a.- an icehouse. When he was chided for his neglect he seem ed very much offended and reminded the officer that he was an "umbrella mechanic" and that being a mere guest in the lock-up it was not his place to "fix the fire. "He would soon er freeze. Tuesday night he was still about town and found shelter in the lock up. Along with some others of his class hewas rnn out of town yesterday morning. DEATH OF BEAVER WILLIAHS Beaver Williams, well known about Danville died at the county farm at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning and was buried at the institution yesterday aft ernoon. The cause of death was cir rhosis of the liver. The deceased went to the county farm about six weeks ago. He grew steadily worse until Tuesday, when death brought relief. He \m forty five years of age. Merchants are hoping for Christmas weather. 1 HOLIDAY VACATION Iu view of the prevalence of typhoid fever in the borough tlut public schools will adopt the precaution of boiling the water used by the pupils for drinking. Dr. Barber brought the matter up at the regular meeting of the school board Mouday. He said he had been approached by many persons, who thought tnat the water used in school should be boiled. As a physician he believed that under the existing con ditions,it would be a wise precaution. The matter was discussed at length, when ou motion of Dr. Barber it was ordered that the water be boiled as during tlie prevalence of typhoid fever last winter. Borough Superintendent Dieffen bacher presented a significant report aB to the general health of the pupils. When the schools reopened yester day after the ten days' vacation it was discovered that 68 pupils were put of school ou account of illness. After a careful examination, of these it was discovered fourteen have the typhoid fever. On motion of Mr. Fischer it was ordered that the schools close for the holiday vacation on December 24th and that they reopen on January 6th. 2 Mr. Fischer of the building and re pair committee reported that the fur nace of the third ward school build ing is iu a state of collapse. The life of such a furnace is about 16 years, which is about the length of time that has elapsed since the building was erected aud the furuace was installed. On motion of Mr. Swartz it was ord ered that a new furuace be purchased of the Danville Stove & Manufactur ing company and be installed in the third ward bnildingduring the Christ mas vacation An application was received from Helen S. Shnunen, graduate of the high school, for the position of pupil teacher Ou motion of Mr. Sechler Miss Shannou was elected as pupil teacher in the borough schools. On motion of Dr. Barber it ord ered that, nil deeds relating to the school property that are not recorded be recorded without auy delay. On motion of Mr. Fischer it was ordered that the pupils of the com mercial department be permitted- to do work iu short hand and typewriting for persons about town either during school hours or at other times. The following members were pres ent: Pursd.Orth, Sw arts, Fish, Fisch er, Seehler, Cole, Barber. WATER SHOULD BE ANALYZED At the present time it might be very gratifying to know for a certainty just what the condition of our hydrant water is. Iu view of the excellent sys tem of filtration employed some per sons assume that it is perfectly pure. The opinion of these persons is strengthened by the report of the an alyses of the water made at long and irregular intervals. That a large number of citizens lack faith in the efficacy of the Alter plant to eliminate bacteria is quite certain. As relates to the analysis it might al so lie added that they see nothing in those tests to convince them that the water is at all times pure. At the present time it would be very reassuring if the water pumped into the mains were subjected to a series of testa covering a given period that would be sure to reveal bacilli if any exist. But little importance is attach edto the analysis of water as made in the past. Would it not be a little short of re markable if a small phial of water ex tracted from the reservoir once every year or so should happen to contain Bome of the bacilli assuming that they exist in certain quantities; in other words are such tests conclusive evid ence that theso dangerous microscopic organisms do not exist in the reservoir and that repeated analysis might not show that they do exist? It is suggested that a small quantity of water be taken from the reservoir weekly or even at shorter intervals if advisable, and sent away to be prop erly analyzed. If the water be pro nounced pure after such a systematic series of tests then the conclusion would be irresistible that our water supply is not a source of danger and a great burden would be lilted from the people. Why should not the water commis sioners. who are interested in furnish ing our citizens with pure water, take up this work and enter upon some thorough and systematic test that will settle to the satisfaction of every one the mooted question of whether or not the water is absolutely pure. Just as PettT Veras, an inmate of the Pottsville hospital from Lansford, hade good-bye to some friends on Sun day evening, saying "I'll soon be well," lie dropped over dead. He was suffering from pneumonia. STOLEN GOODS RECOVERED During the last couple of days there have been some interesting develop ments relating to the robbery of J. 11. Fry's music store, this city, which took place ou the night of August 29 or the morning of the'SOth. Goods to the value of about one-third of the amount stolen were Monday recover ed and identified by Mr. Fry. The party suspected of the robbery is do ing time in Sunbury jail. On Sunday Chief-of-Police Mince mover got onto a clew, which indicat ed that the goods might be recovered iu Sunbury or Shamakin. The chief assigned the case to Officer Voris, who accompanied by J. H. Fry Monday morning left on the 9 o'clock Pennsyl vania train for Sunbury. Arriving at the latter place, following* instruc tions, they proceeded to the county prison, where they had an interview with one of the prisoners, Dallas Jones, oolored, of Shamokin, who spent some time in Danville last summer. Jones was asked what he knew about the several mandolins and other booty carried off from Mr. Fry's store. He produced a mandolin, which he was using in jail, that evidently had not been stolen from Mr. Fry and he dis claimed all knowledge of the robbery or the whereabouts of the booty. He was especially emphatio in the asser tion that none of the goods would be fouud at his home in Shamokin. He readily handed over a new mandolin, which he said had been left at the jail Monday morning and concern ing which he had no knowledge. Mr. Fry felt convinced that this mandolin had been stolen from his store and he took possession of it. Proceeding directly to Shamokin Oflicer Voris aud Mr. Fry caused a search warraut to be issued and pro ceeded to search the premises of Dal Jones, the prisoner, at that place. They were rewarded by finding a fine mandolin valued at eighteen dollars and a quantity of strings of a very ex pensive kind, all of which Mr. Fry readily identified as'goods stolen from his store. In the house with Jones' wite was his mothe.r-iii-law. The wo men explained that Jones had repre sented that he had purchased the goods at ail auction sale in Harrisburg and that he regarded them as a great bar gain. Officer Voris am] Mr. Fry returned to Danville ou the 2:21 Pennsylvania train, bringing with them the two mandolins aud the box of strings. The value of the goods carried off by tho robbers was not less than one hundred dollars. The combined value of man dolins aud the strings recovered was scarcely more than one-third of that amount. Dal Jones is serving ninety days in jail for making threats against his wife. Before leaving Sunbury Officer Vons left a warrant at the jail, which will be served upon Jones as soon as his present sentence expires, whioh will be some time in February. The robbery at J. H. Fry's store was au especially bold one. A ladder had been dragged to the rear window and at the great risk of breaking his neck the burglar had climbed up to the second story, one side of the lad der only having support, the other side being suspended over the deep bed of Blizzard's run. Down over this frail support all the booty was carried. Be sides a number of mandolins, several shelves were stripped of their con tents, mostly consisting of valuable strings for musical instruments. At the time no clew could bo discovered. The burglar evidently desired to convey the impression that he was au Italian. On the ccnnter lay a large catalogue envelope 011 the blank side of which he had "printed" the fol lowing with a lead pencil: "I no play, butta sella mandolina. Gooda mon. Igo Scrantonia." DEATH OF MRS. FRED WENDEL, JR. Mrs. Frederick Wendel, Jr., a wide ly known and highly esteemed young married woman of this city died yes terday morning after a two weeks' ill ness at her home on Railroad street. The deceased was aged 25 years, 4 months and 2 days and is survived by her husband and two children, Walter and Clarence. Two brothers and two sisters also survive: Walter, Clarence, Elsie and Mary Vonßlohn, all of Dan ville. Before marriage Mrs. Wendel was Miss Augnsta Pauline Vonßlolm, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Von- Blohn, Cross street. Mrs. Wendel was a prominent mem ber of Si. John's German Lutheran church. She was a faithful wife and possessed a wide circle of friends. The funeral will take place Satur day afternoon at 1 o'clock from the I home at 515 Railroad sfreet. Interment ' will be made in the Odd Fellows' cemetery. This will be a happy holiday season ! in Danville. SIN DEAD IN DICE COLLAPSE With a suddtn crash followed by the slow grinding of iron and wood, the second span of the Mifflinville bridge collapsed Tuesday afternoon at a few minutes before five o'clock, carrying seven men to death and severely in juring twice as many others. The horrible holocaust comes at Mifflinville as the second of two accid ents that have overtaken the York Bridge company during the construc tion of the bridge across the Susque hanna river at that point, the partly completed bridge having beeu carried away during the great ice flood of sev eral years ago. Tho being builtjout from the Mifflinville or sooth side [of the river. The first span, which passes over the Pennsylvania tracks, was com pleted and the second span was nearly ready to swing FINISH SPAN The false work of the second span had been placed in position several days ago and work was proceeding ou the second span when the river began to rise Monday night. Tnesday work was pushed with all possible speed to finish the second span before'the river rose to a menacing height. As Tues day afternoon was drawing to a close it became evident that it would be possible to complete and swing the second span before quittin>;~time7. k ao all bent w'ithf thaTemfin view. The big traveler, which was so fami liar a sight'to the people of Danville who watched the construction of the bridge at this place several years ago, and which is used by the bridge build ers as a moveable crane to lift and place in position the heavy iron work, was at the'outer end of the span. A number of the men were perched on top of this traveler 160 feet above the water. ONLY A FEW BOLTS MORE. Five o'clock was the quitting time and as the hour approached the men were working like heavers. Only a few more bolts remained to be placed before the span would swing, when without the slightest warning, the false work under the heavy traveler, its base undermined by the flood, col lapsed with a report that was 'heard by hundreds of'people in"'the neigh boring village. Followed a roar i»s the rest of the weakened structure with j the weight of the entire span upon it j crashed into the river, carrying into | the icy flood to death and injury all \ of the workmen. A HEART RENDING SCENE. The scene that followed the fatal ac cident baffles description. Twisted and gnarled by the terrific strain the massive iron pieces and heavy steel supports became a seething mass in the river, pinned into which aud helpless were the bodies of the dead and injur ed. The loud report of the collapse told the villagers of the catastrophe, and men hurrying to the scene were quick to begin the work of rescue. A re- ! markable circumstance is that there ' was no chaos.but each bent to his dr.y j as he found it, and quietly but swift ly aided in the work of recovering the bodies of the dead and saving the struggling unfortunates. About thirty row boats were on the i river a few minutes after the first I crash,manned by cool and self possess ed men who performed many thrilling rescues. OARING FOR THE INJURED. As fast as the injured were remov ed from the river they were taken to the Pennsylvania station at Mifflin ville and from there to the different homes in the village. Doctors from Mifflinville were aided by a corps of physicians from Berwick. Houses in the town were thrown open to the in jured and everything was done for the comfort of the men. r - The work of the rescuers was great ly hindered by the fact that the ao cident occurred just before nightfall. While but a few of the men had been removed from the debris darkness fell over the scene of the disaster, and the men in the boats could be guided to the unfortunates only by the light of lanterns and torches or by the piteous cries of some victim jammed among the wreckage in the freezing water. THE DEAD. What is believed to be a complete list of the dead is as follows : MILLARD BOWMAN, of Mifflin ville, married for but a year and sur vived by his wife and baby. A. W. FAHS, of Selinsgrove. CHARLES OREITZER. of Selins grove. ADAM NUSS, of Selinsgrove. ADAM TRUTT, of Beaver Valley. IRYIN UPDEQRAFF, of George town, Pa. GEORGE B. FOX, residence un known. With the exception of the first men tioned the dead are all bridge workers Continued on 4th Page. ESTABLISHED IN 1855 ■I IN POTTSILE Our readers will be glad to learn that the burglars who robbecj, Thomas J. Evans Saturday night have been captured and that at least a portion of the booty has been recovered. Mr. Evans, who conducts a cigar store in connection with his barber stop on Bloom street near the P. & R. cross ing. it will be recalled, has proven a special target for burglars and has been robbed in as many .years past. Following the^robber} Chief-of-Pol ice Mincemoyer sent out to surround ing towns a description of the goods stolen—razors and;high priced.'tobaroo pipes—and asking that the police keep a lookout for suspicious characters. Yesterday morningJMr. Evans was called up by the chief of-polire of Pottsville and was asked to give a minute description of the goods stolen from his establishment. Two men were under arrest in Pottsville, had a number of razors and pipes in their possession. A brief conversation over the 'phone sufficed to establish the fact that the goods undoubtedly belonged to Mr. Evans. It was arranged that the police should hold the men until Mr. Evans,accompanied by an officer could reach Pottsville to positively identify the goods and bring the robbers back to Danville. Chief Mincemoyer took the matter in hand and, accompanied by Mr. Evans, left on the 10:17 Pennsylvania train for Pottsville yesterday fore noon. It was quite uncertain whether they would be able to transact their business in Pottsville in time to catch the last train for Danville yesterday. The chances were that they would not be able to return home until this morn ing. Meanwhile there seems to be lit tle doubt but that they have got the thieves and that Mr. Evans will re cover at least a portion of his prop erty. LATER. A message received from Mr. Evans last evening stated thar, instead of two hoboes, the robbers proved to be well known Danville men. Mr. Evaus also stated that Chief Mincemoyer and himself intended to leave Pottsville with the prisoners, last evening and might arrive at Danville some time during the night. DISEASES THAT ARE PREVALENT The report made by the Borough Superintendent at the meeting of the school board Monday night to the ef fect that sixty-eight pupils are out of school on account of illness and that fourteen of these have typhoid fever has had a somewhat disquieting effect upon the public, people being anxious to know something about the nature of the diseases that are prevalent. The fact is self-evident that the pub lio health, to whatever cause it may be d'-.e, is below par just at this sea s , wtiich ordinarily is not a sickly -ime of year. The prevalence of ty phoid fever, which is hard to account for in itself, only partially explains the situation. The local registrar Tuesday stated that among (he school children measles are becoming very prevalent, iu addition to which there are chicken pox and mumps. There are a few cases of diphtheria iu town, but with the proper precautions there is no probability that the disease will spread to any extent. As relates to typhoid fever the local registrar states that the status of the disease in Dsuville remains at about the sarno as at the beginning of the month—eighteen cases. Our physicians generally do not take an optimistic view of the situation. One doctor, who has already reported eleven cases, Tuesday siated that he had four more cases to report, while he knows of another physician who has three cases to report. According to the latter authority the new cases are those which have been under observation for a week or more. It is not until a case of typhoid has progressed to a certain point that all the symptoms develop by which it can be differentiated from malarial or intermittent fever. The two last nam ed fevers are prevalent in Danville,but it is quite apparent that up to a cer tain stage not a few cases reallv ty phoid are given the benefit of the doubt and pass as milder forms of fev ers. Thus the number of typhoid cases reported, it would seem, is always a little below the number that really exists. No especial harm can result , from this if it does not tend to throw i people off their guard. It is hoped that in all cases that are uuder treatment i where uncertainty exists as to the na | ture of the disease there will be no neglect In the way of reasonable jm I caution.
