The Abbey church in the Nortli of England centuries ago had the same simple music that is now being adopt ed iu the great Catholic Cathedrals of that couutry. The managers of the Chester County Agricultural association have decided to conduct a dog show this fall iu con nection with the races and display of . farm products, machinery, live stock, | etc. Nineteen strychuine pills,enough to i have killed a couple of adults, were eaten by Albert Mutterspaugh, of York, aged 18 mouths, but by the j prompt use of a stomach pump his life was saved. Schuylkill couuty huckleberry pick ers having learned that rattlesnakes and copperheads hide whenever it | thunders,now tire dynamite bombs be fore they enter a berry patch on the ! mountains. Workmen on Saturday discovered in j the basement of Philadelphia s im mense city hall that a pier supporting j a portion of the seven-story wall on the east side of the building was j crumbling away and there was danger of a collapse. The rooms above were vacated and men have gone to work to repair the defect. The number of deaths in Philadel phia last week was 227, of which 127 were children who succumbed to dis eases incident to the great heat. Lightning struck the dwelling of Isaac Rauderbush. of East Greenville, a few days ago, wrecking a bedstead, peeling the mercury off the back of a j mirror and perforating the paper on j the parlor ceiling in a fantastic man- | ner. The Pine Hill Coal company a year ago inaugurated a profit-sharing plan with its meu working in their colliery ; near Minersville, and the first distri- j bution has just been made. There | were 500 employes entitled to a share in the profits, and their total share was #1,138. Property owners and residents of I East White land township, Chester j county, interested in the improvement j of the roads, have organized "The East Whiteland Improvement associa tion," to confer with State Highway Commissioner Hunter aud to solicit all residents of the township to join j the association. Three boys of Allentown none over ; 12 years "of aae. were caught in the act of stealing a crate of eggs from ! the store of Samuel K. Fluck, on | Saturday. Mr. Fluck started to pur- j sue them when they bombarded him with eggs until he was compelled re- | treat. His store room was badly spoil ed by the broken eggs. The boys were 1 afterwards arrested. _____ VALUABLE DOGS PLACED IN PERIL Several persons in Dauville, owners of valuable dogs.are pursuing a course that will be pretty sure sooner or lat er to result in the death of the highly prized animals withfall the ill-feeling and regret that may be relied upon to attend such a contingency. The officers are sworn to do their duty aud one duties in the present emergency is to enforce the quarantine against dogs. They have dous their duty well iu the premises and because of their fidelity they have been heartily commended. Persous, who permit their dogs to ruu at large with out being muzzled cau not but realize the risk they are taking. That the officers make 'an exception of their cases is not to be supposed. If ttieir dogs escape, there fore, it is only by the merest chance. There are a couple of very valuable dogs in town, which are permitted to go upon the streets at pleasure, un muzzled. The officers would dread to shoot either of tnem.yet they have de clared that if they were to meet the unmuzzled dogs when properly armed they would surely do their duty. Thus the situation is apparent. It would be an easy matter to obey the quarantine, while by persistently vio lating it a man has nothing to gain but turns a valuable and inoffending animal out where it is almost certain to meet its death. There seems to an erroneous impres sion abroad that after a few weeks there will be a let-up in the enforce ment of the quarantine. At all events many persons are becoming very care less. Already during the present week some half a dozen dogs have been shot by the police. .HUM PLANT Bill 1,1 A communication from Dr. Samuel j q Dixon, State commissioner of liealth ! was read before council Monday eve, which practically makes it incumbent | on the borough of Danville to prepare i plans for and construct a plant for the I purification of all of its sewage before I July Ist, 1910. Dr. Dixon's letter covers seventeen ' pages typewritten, aud is an exhaus tive commentary on the drainage and sererage, the source of water supply and contamination thereof, aud the relation of these to the spread of dis- ! ease. The letter comes as a reply to a re quest from the council of Danville to j the State department of health for pre mission to install a sewer to accom modate residents on West Mahoning \ street aud also to install a sewer to accommodate residents of the second ward that would lead down the bed of the abandoned canal. Some time after the borough's request was received by the department of health. Dr. Dixon sent Prof Walkor, of State college, to j this city in the capacity of a sewer age expert. Prof. Walker, was allowed to make a minute study of the condi tions in Danville, and the letter in a large part contains data that Prof Walker gathered during that visit to Danville. The letter begins with a description of the borough of Danville followed by an enumeration of the industries located here aud their sources of wat er supply. The letter also reviews the j number of cases of typhoid fever in Dauville during the years since 1895. j remarking that "The preseuce of typ hoid fever iu the community,since the infection has not been traced to priv ate sources, directs suspicion to the j river water, which is known to be polluted by sewage." Also, Dr. Dixon states, "It is clear ly evident that the discharge into the river at Danville constitutes a meuace to the health of those people below who rely upon the river as a source of public water supply. Therefore, the j borough of Danville should make pre paration to purify the borough sew- , age at as early a date as practicable. The State has made an appropriation and its officers have devised plans for modern sewerage and sewage dispos al works for the Danville State hospit- ; al which plans will be executed as ap proved immediately." Continuing the letter says : FINANCIAL CONDITIONS. "The assessed valuation of the bor ough is reported to be two million, four hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars and the bonded indebtedness one hundred and twenty-nine thous and, eight hundred dollars. If these figures be correct the munnicipal bor rowing capacity is in the neighbor hood of forty thousand dollars, so it would appear. Existing bonds partly cover the loans for the proposed sewer extension but additional bonds will be required to complete the construction. Entrance fees for sewer connection are j levied upon the property owner. These are calcualted to reimburse the bor ough for the cost of the sewers when the properties have all been connected to the system; but there is no com pulsory ordinance relative to connec tion. The borough owns its own elec tric plant which is operated iu connec tion with the pumping station of the water works. Under these circumst ances, while the town is possessed of its public utilities whioh are valuable assets, its inability to undertake the immediate construction of a sewage purification plant is evident because even forty thousand dollars would be an iufufficient sum to pay for sewage works. "Before alplant can be installed to j treat the sewage, of the bor -1 ough, all storm water and large leak age and : most"roof water must be ex cluded from the sewers. Studies must be made to determine the best plan of gatheriug'tfthe sewage of the entire boroughjat one point and its delivery thence to]the*dlsposal works A site | should be selected latter aud a detail plan'shall be prepared, togeth er with estimates of cost and all cf these as a complete design shoald be submitted to the/iCommissiouer of Health for approval. The plan as final ly adopted should then control all sew er work. •' The borough is amply able to assume this small cost of preparation of plans aud it'should be done at once "In view of the foregoing considera ! tions, it has been unanimously argeed iby the Governor, Attorney General | and the'Oomuiissioner of Health that | the interests of the public health will | be subserved by granting a permit,and j I do hereby grant a permit I for the proposed sewer extensions un | der the following | CONDITIONS & STIPULATIONS : ( FIRST:—That all Btorin aud roof water be excluded from the proposed I sewers, that particular pains be taken Continued on 2nd Page. DANVILLE PA., THURSDAY. JULY 23, 1908 lICII MAKES REPORT « At the meetingof council Monday even iug a report was read from the Bor ough Solicitor Edward Sayre Gearhart detailing the results of a recent visit to Harrisburg for the purpose of se curing the aid of the State highway department in paving East Market street. Mr. Gearhart announced that the assistant State highway commis sioner had been favorably impressed with the proposition,but recommended that the borough council make some satisfactory legal arrangement with the Dauville and Sunbury Transit com pany in regard to the paving of its share of the street before anything further be done in the matter. On motion the communication was ac cepted and ordered filed. BIDS FOR FIRE ESCAPE The secretary reported three bids re ceived for constructing a fire escape on the city hall as follows: Dauville Foundry and Machine com pany, $283.50. Meritt & Co., of Philadelphia,s24l.- 00. Glen Mfg. Co.,cf Elwood City, Pa., £■'45.00. Mr. Angle moved that lowest bidder receive the contract. The motion was carried and contract awarded to Mer itt & Co. as per specifications Secretary Patton then read the com uiunication from Dr. Dixon, an ac count of which appear.? in the adjoin ing column. On motion of Mr. Russell the com munication was accepted and laid on the table for future consideration. OPERA HOUSE LICENSE. George D. Edmondson appeared in behalf of Edmondson and Foust Broth ers in an endeavor to secure a set figure of license for the opera house. Mr. Edmondson stated that the house had been run at a loss last year, aud that in view of the amounts paid in towns the size of Danville aud even larger, a fixed reasonable sum should be named. Mr. Edmondson consider ed #SO annually a reasonable figure. On motion of Mr. Cleaver, the matter j was left in the hands of the committee j on law for investigation. MISCELLANEOUS? BUSINESS. Mr. Pursel of the committee of streets and bridges, reported the bad j condition of Church street between Mahoning street and the D. L. & W. j railroad,stating that many complaints had been received and recommended j that the street be improved. No action I was taken. On motion it was decided to allow Jacob Fischer to purchase at cost 200 paving brick from the borough for the purpose of paving iu the neighborhood of his home on Mill street. On motion the street commissioner was instructed to remove the loose | stones on Market street aud deposit the same in the worst holes on the street. On motion of Mr. Angle the build- | ing committee was instructed to make an estimate of the probable cost of er ecting a building at the water works for storing the sweeper and furuishiug the electrician a workshop. The committee on public improve- . ments was instructed to place the urns, donated to the park by Mrs. J. R. Beunett, in a proper position and to have proper bases supplied. The following members were pres ent: Schatz, Cleaver,Moyer.Everhart, Russell, Marshall, Angle, Connolley. The following bills were paid by council at its session Friday night: BOROUGH DEPARTMENT.

Paules, , that Mrs. Abraham Hendrickson, of Valley township, who was removed to the Jefferson hospital last week, had been operated on Monday and that the operation was successful. This is one of the few successful operations for spinal anesph ia on record. A yield of thirty-seven bushels of wheat to the acre is reported from Eembleßville, Chester county. 111 111 ARTILLERI GIF The people of Danville and the sur- I roundiug country turned out by the thousands Monday and lined the streets to witness the arrival iu Dan- ! ville of Battery D, 3rd battalion, United States Army, which camped Monday night a field in the Welliver farm in the upper end of town. Monday afternoon and all Monday evening the field where the soldiers ( wero in camp was crowded with spect ators, thousands visiting the spot. All were treated with the greatest courtesy by the officers and men aud Danvilliaus were loud in their praise of the bat tery. The camp was roped off to give visitors a better opportunity to view than would have been presented had all been allowed to roam at will among the tents. Among those who viewed the spec taclo were hundreds who had never before had an opportunity to inspect one of Uncle Sam's guns equipped aud ready for action or to witness a camp which to every intent and purpose was ready to respond at a moment's notice to a call into action. The artillerymen were met at East Danville Monday afternoon by two automobiles carrying city officials and were escorted into aud through the streets of the town to the site of the camp. Ml along the line of march the homes and business places were pro- ! fusely decorated, aud thousands of people lined the streets to view the unusual spectacle. NAME CHOSEN FOR CAMP. Iu honor of the founder of Danville, the camp was named Camp Daniel Montgomery by Captain Horn, and all his official orders and reports bear that heading. PREPARATIONS FOR SOLDIERS. , Captain Horn was greatly pleased with the reception his battery was accorded in Danville. Through the courtesy of Lafayette Welliver the bittery was given a place to camp free of charge and ice was furnished free to the battery by E. Gaertner. BATTERY ONE OF THE FINEST. The second battalion under Capt. Horn is noted for its strict discipline and its record at the recent maneuvers shows it to be one of the moßt efficient \ in the service in movement and marks- s manahip. In addition to Captain Horn, the j commander,are Captain Jones, battal ion and camp adjutant and commis sary; Lieutenant Taska, surgeon; the J battery officers First Lieutenant A. W. Huntley ; Secoud Lieutenant, W. H. Shepherd: Sergeant Major Edward Jarchow; mounted orderlies, Nicholas aud Heaney and First Sergeant Char les E. Keley. GUNS THROW .SHELL 4 MILES. There are in all 115 men. Four, three inch guns are carried. These have an ! eifective range of four miles and five 1 a fifteen pound explosive. Shell and sharpnel are thrown each sharpnel having 262 bullets. With each gun is its caissou a gun and caisson being each drawn by 6 horses with three drivers in the saddle. In addition are the extra ammunition wagons, "kit" wagons for the blankets.iobesand kits, four army wagons aud the ambulance. The men use the "dog" tents about large enough for a man to enter on his hands aud knees and sleep upou a blanket on the ground. PICTURE OF CAMP LIFE. A realistic picture of camp life was given Monday evening with the horses tethered in one long line, the mess sergeant and cooks busy with their preparations tor the mess, a barber shop at work, the ambulance with several patients, the guard tent also occupied,the blacksmith and saddler's tents ready for use and the command ent's tent presenting a busy scene with the orders being giveu for the local camp aud issuing of orders complete for the remainder of the march to points below. BATTALION WITH HISTORY. The third battalion has one of the oldest histories of any iu the service. It opened the battle at Gettysburg and served through it and has a rec ord of 65 battles in the rebellion. As Grime's battalion it was at Sautiago in the battle with the Spaniards, BLOOM DOG HAD RABIES After the mad dog scare in Blooms i burg about a week ago when young Frank Veits was bitten by a dog that I was suspected of having rabies, the { animal's head was sent to the State laboratories for a microscopic exami nation. Word was received in Bloomsburg yesterday that the head had been sub jected to an examination, and that the results had shown that the dog was mad. 1 IB HORSES HI Residents in the vioinity of Walnut j j and Railroad streets witnessed a thril ing sight Monday afternoon when j the four year old son of Millard Cook, j in attempting to cross Walnut street, was knocked down by the team attach- ! ed to the express wagou of Emery j Shultz and by a seeming miracle saved from being crushed to death by the horses' hoofs, j Mr. Cook, who resides near Grovati ia, had brought his family to town to witness the eutry of the soldiers and had taken a position at the corner of Bloom and Railroad streets. The young son of Mr. Cook in company with two J playmates had gone to the caudy store , of G. L McOlain to purchase some caudy. The little fellow,in a hurry to get back to see the soldiers, did not notice Mr. Shultz's express wagon ap proaching and unmindful of the driv- ! er's cry of warning started across Wal- | nut street, ruuning directly under the j horses feet. Mr. Shultz made a frautic j effort to stop the horses and succeeded I in bringing them to a standstill be fore the wheels of the heavy wagon j touched the boy. In falling, the youngster in some miraculous manner had succeeded in ! clearing the front hoofs of the team j and when picked up was lying safely ! under the horses' hind feet, the anim als seeming to take care by standing ; perfectly still not to harm him. He was carried to the home of John Doster where it was found that no j bones were broken, two short gashes j in the fleshy part of the right leg ! slightly below the knee, being the ex- j tent of the lad's injuries. TROLLEY COLLIDES WITH ICE WAGON ! A collision between J. L. Kline's ice wagon and a car on the Danville & Sunbury line occurred on Mill street Monday morning. Frank Heim one of Kline's men narrowly escaping serious injury. The accident occurred in front of Glias Meiers restaurant where Mr. Kline was making a delivery of ice. The wagon was standing parallel with the rails, facing down street, when! i tho team became frightened by the noise of'the approaching car, and j | backing, threw the front end of the j wagon directly over one of the rails. Heim in an endeavor to avert a collis- I ion sprang to the horses' heads thereby placing himself between the prancing animals and the car. The motorman of the car threw on the reverse, but 'on account of the recent passing of the street sprinkler the rails were wet | and the wheels of the car slid. The i car struck the wagon a glancing blow ! breaking the scoop. fIERCHANT'S ANNUAL OUTING The merchauts' picnic this year will | be an occasion ot unusual importance' as it will be held under the auspices of the Y. M. 0. A., to which organiza tion the proceeds of the outing will be applied. The merchauts of town have been canvassed and at the first suggestion the idea seemed popular. All have consented to close their places of busi ness at 12 o'clock noon and to remain closed during the afternoou and even ing. The date set for the picnic is j Thursday, Augtst 6th. The outing will be held at DeWitt's park and of course will be au all day affair. The committee of arrangements is composed of the following : Jesse Shan non, B. W. Mnsselman, W. L. Mc- Glure, David Resse, Howard Reppert, Joseph Divel, Arthur Lawrence, W. E. Gosh, General Secretary C. H. Manley and Physical Director J. C. Ainsworth. The aim is to make the picnic one of the biggest outings that has ever been held at DeWitt's park. Tho list of amusements will comprise a game of base ball, in all probability between Bloomsburg and the Merch ! ants of Danville, in addition to which there will be contests and sports of all kinds. It is believed that the attend ance will be little if any below a thousand. An admission fee of five cents will j be charged, in addition to which re freshnaeuts will be sold. The commit tee is very busy perfecting arrange ments. Dedication of I, O. O. F. Orphanage Announcements had beon made that the Odd Fellows' orphange, near Sun bury, would be formerly dedicated on Labor day. When this announcement was made it was the intention of the 1 Odd Fellows to dedicate the structure before the building had been entirely completed, now, however, sufficient t funds are on hand to carry on the work 1 and It is expected that the orphanage > | will be entirely finished by Thanks ' j giving day, when the postponed cere > monies will be held. Mir D BROKE MP EARLY Battery D, 3rd Battalion. United ! States Army, which pitched its tents at Cauip Daniel Montgomery Monday afternoon,broke camp at au early hour Tuesday morning ani over a hundred strong inarched down through town leaving by way of Northumberland street. Tuesday night the battery en camped at Selinsgrove. The regulars while in camp afforded our citizens an object lesson showing what army life iu at least one of its phases is like,and that all classes took advantage of the opportunity to learn no one will doubt who witnessed the congestion of people about the camp and noted the crowded condition of the trolley cars as the latter transport ed the people back wards au i forwards. The degree of curiosity if not real enthusiasm shown far eclipsed auy previous manifestation of the people. As a drawing card the artillery camp had the average circus beat a mile. It is to be regretted that the break ing of camp took place at an hour — between five and six o'clock—when only a few people were astir. The sight was really worth seeing. The farmers were just lining up in the curbstone market when the artillery meu, riding two abreast, passed along Mill street and disappeared down Northumberland road. It was about 6:20 o'clock when the troops turned the corner at Mill aud Northumber land streets. About the only persons I who witnessed their departure were the farmers attending market and a few early risers of town who had come out to make purchases. The visit of the battery was a speci- i al delight to the members of Goodrich Post and other veterans,as the mount ed soldiers begrimed with the march, the cannon and the other accouter ments of war constituted the only re minders of active service that they had seen since the days when they themselves were Uncle Sam's fighting men and participated in the weari some march and encamped in the fields at night. As the battery passed down Mill street Tuesday morning one of our veterans saluted an officer aud he executed the greeting with so much grace and dignity that he won the ad miration of the artilleryman,who was overheard as lie remarked to a com panion: "That man is an old soldier." During the stay of the regulars the veterans were shown every considera tion and it was quite plain that the proper feeling of comradeship existed between the artillerymen and the vet erans who preceded the former in ser vice. BRICK MAKING PRACTICALLY OVER Brick making, which due to the im provements at the hospital for the in sane has been a leading industry dur ing the summer, is likely to move »t a halting pace between the present and fall. John Keim, who has the contract for furnishing the rough or red brick to Mosier & Summers, lias made his last delivery, having furnished over twelve hundred thousand brick. This is a little less than figured on by the contractors, the hand'made brick pro duced by Mr. Keim proving somewhat larger than the machine-made pro duct which were employed in the cal culations. Embracing his fourfyards Mr. Keim had over sixty men employed up to a day or so ago. He expected to be kept busy untilJOctober,but Messrs Mosier & Summers have made such excellent progress on the buildings that the brickwork at this stage is practically completed. Iu order to keep pace with the pro gress of the work Mr. Keim was ob liged to nearly double his force of men, in'addition to which he has had a large number of teams employed in hanliug brick. The brick delivered at the hospital include,not only the buildings for the iusaue, but also the new piggery, the contract for which is also held by Mosier aud Summers. Now that the hospital contractors are supplied Mr. Keim finds himself with a surplus of four hundred thousand brick on hand. In view of business conditions he does not feel encouraged to pile up a much larger stock aud Mr. Keim lias been obliged to suspeud a number of his employes. He has hopes of selling more bricK, but it is doubtful wheth re he will resume on such a large scale any more during the present season. Juvenile Base Ball. The "Teddy Bears'' defeated the ! "Bumble Bees" in a game of base ball on the Merchants Jfield yesterday afternoon by a score of 6to 4. The j battery for the "Teddy Bears" was IM. Little aud L. Murray: for the "Bumble Bees," Keefer and Hickey. Lewis E. Taylor, of Perkasie, is I taking a walk around the bordors of Bucks county, a distance of 320 miles. ESTABLISHED IN 1855 STATE HUM ON SOUTH SIDE The preliminary survey for the State highway petitioned for on the south side of the river was begun yes terday. During the morning Engineer W. L. Butler, of Wilkes-Barre, repre senting the State highway department accompanied by a corps of assistants, arrived in Danville aud proceeded immediately to the south side where the corps began work. The appearance of the engineers has revived interest in the proposition to improve the Suubury road under the act of May 1, 190."), which up to a few mouths ago constituted an issue on which the people of the South side were nearly equally divided, many advocating the State highway as a much needed public improvement quite iu line with the progress of the times and others opposing the improv ed highway as unnecessary and as en tailing on Gearhart township a heavy and needless expense. The petition was originally ; made about two years ago.askiug for a mile of improved highway in Gearhart township. Suubury road to the line of Riverside borough is less than half a mi lie "in length. In order that the mile might be covered the petition asked for the improvement,; alongjwith the above named thoroughfare, of Sun bury street Avenue as far as the borough line. About this time theJ£Penu6ylvania railroad company entered upon repairs on Hazletou Avenue, which rendered a reconstruction of that'street [unnec essary. Early last spring the citizens of Gearhart township and Riverside borough jointly petitioned the county commissioners for one mile of State highway to begin at the river bridge and to extend Gear hart township and Riverside borough. The proposed highway will extend from the bridge to the farm of John Mowrey, the latter some distance be low Riverside borough. The last proposition proves no more popular than the first with a good many of the tax payers of Gearhart township. Iu Riverside borough there seems to be little opposition. The county commissioners of Nor thumberland county upon the presen tation to them of a petition from Gear hart township and Riverside borough, pursuant to the act of May 1, 1905, petitioned the State highway depart ment to undertake the reconstruction of the Sunbury road. As the next step provided for in the act the State highwav commissioner caused the highway to be examined. That the engineers have appeared aud beguu the survey is taken by the pe titioners to indicate that the represen tations were found to be well founded and that the work from now on will proceed with little delay. The present survey is ouly prelimi nary in its nature, h-iug only a mat ter of measurements an I the stakiug out of the roadway. A circumstance which reassures the petitiouers is the fact that while the petition presented asked for only one mile of State high way the engineers are under instruct ion to carry the preliminary survey four miles down the river. What may be back of this order no one presumes to know, but it is taken to indicate that the interest of the State highway department has beeu aroused and that it is desirous of learning not ouly what changes should be made iu the existing highway but also how far it might prove expedient to carry the improvement. THE HIGH SCHOOL PROPOSITION Riverside borough, it seems, has about abandoned the idea of establish ing a high school the preseut year aud in all probability the pupils of that town eligible for the high school, like those of Gearhart towuship, will bo sent to Danville. Riverside has some fourteen high school pupiis. while Gearhart township has twenty-four. A member of the Riverside school board Tuesday stated that although there is little likelihood of a high school beiug established there this year yet the idea has by no means been abandoned and that a high school is something that will be pretty sure to come to pass in the near future. WM. GETHING BROKE 2 RIBS William Gething, West Hemlock towuship, yesterday morning sustain ed a peculiar accident when he frac tured two ribs, while in the act of emptying a bucket of refuse. I Mr. Gething had carried two buc kets of slop to the refuse barrel, and was lifting one bucket up to the bar | rel when he slipped and fell, striking j his side on the other bucket. He drove at once to the office of Dr. Curry where tbe injury was dressed.
