Danville's lose to Nanticoke breaks ' the tie for first place tiiat has been ex isting ierweeu this town and Nauti coke for the past four weeks, Danville dropping to s°cond place and Nanti col-o taking position at tiie hea;i. Ne-copeck surprised the watcher- on Saturday by losing and that to Allien. Benton tied with Berwick and Recrea tion dropped oue to Shickshinny. The shifting was again all done in the second division. Bloomsburg drop ped from fourth to second—from the end. Alden went from sixth to fifth and Shickhinny jumped from seventh to sixth. Berwick still remains the tail ender. Next Saturday Danville plays at Nanticoke,Alden at Kloouisburg, Her wick at Benton an 1 Shickshiuny at Nesoopeck J' - ' With the aid of a i very strung team _ Nanticoke loaded a 7 to 1 victory un to t' ie ' r special train anil took it along home with —them on Saturday amid great rejoicing—by N'auticoke. It was a sad story of hard lack, iil omens, spells, slumps and otiier heart reading phenomena of base ball, of tiie kind that is excusable because ev ery team that has ever gathered to play the great American game has found , Itself at some time or another in its existence to be up against just such proposition? as Danville experienced Saturday, Danville has nothing to complain of in Its team. They lost a game that meant lctj to the local fans, hut they played hard and they did their best, but the Goddess of Good Luck turned her back squarely on the Danville warriors and siuil< ! benignly on Nan ticoke, and that settled it. Even Pinkie Coveieskie, usually the d:, r-.'.ing star of the Danville team.i .id tiis ctl day, He «a- wil I at times,and when he controlled his carves it was with a slow ball tha' the Nanticoke heavy hitters just naturally plastered. ' ON THE OTHER HAND. Naut oke romped through an all but errorless game with apparent non- | chalance. They iieided like tiends and batted like demons, darn em, and gave the enthusiastic rooters from up the river plenty of chances to yell them selves hoarse. It was a matter of comaoa report here after tiie game tiiat a large maj ority of the Nanticoke nine were not regularly signed niemherFof that team, but ringers recruited especially for the Danville game. Without going in to the 'ruth or falseness of tiie rumors it is sufficient to say tiiat 112 such gc iupson'' are being tolerated in the league the sport will scon lc-e its popularity. The matter s'icald be in vestigated. A SAD STORY. The detailed story of the game is a sad on",but here goes —you lon't have to r,-ad it if you don't want to Nanticoke to.

The tenuis was not of as high an order as may be expected later in the season when the teams iiave had more practice. The exceptions to this were the Pottsvilie and Danville teamß which played very strong games Potts viile lost but one set during the day, chat to Danville: Danville lost but two sets during tic day, those to Potts vilie. The result- of the sets are as fol lows : Berwick beat Shenandoah 6 1, 6-3. Berwick beat Girardville H I, t-6, 6-5. Pottvsille beat Berwick 6-. 6-1. Bloomsburp beat Shenandoah t!-0, 3-6, 6-1.

The prizes to be contetsed for will bo two silver loving cups. The two chief objects of these tea nis tournaments are to foster and en courage the playlug of tennis and to promote sociability among tennis play era,and if the tournament on Saturday is any criterion both objects will be accompli-hed as t:ie members present witi.out exception voted the meet a decided success. 31 PATIENTS UNDER TREATMENT D.\ George A. .Stock, physic au-in . - ' t.ie tuberculosis dispensary h<. r-s iH- '.a -following report for tli'j u i>nth einn:.g .June 20,1!t09, which show - that gooii results are being at tained aud that the dispensary, al though only a trifle over a year old, is a factor not to be despised in the world wide crusade against tuber culosis. During the month two patients were admitted; one was discharged. The uumi-er of patients from the previous mouth was thirty, number of patients remaining at t-ud cf present mouth, thirty-one Gun patient was discharg ed re: rred to tamilv physician Number o» return visits itade,forty five. In tea patients there was in crease ol weight: in seven the weight was uuohanged; in tourteen there was loss of weight. Guly two patients took medicine during the month. The nurs:e made twenty-six visits. Three hundred and thirty-six quarts of in;lk aud eighty-six and one-third dozen egg- were ordered. Fourteen patients received milk and ten patients eggs. SUPERINTKN DENT'S SALARY RAISED The school board.{Monday night, as an afterthought,' decided to raise the salary of Borough Superintendent Dieffenbacher. He was voted an in crease of ten dollars per month, rais ing his salary from fIJOO to SIB2O per year. This action followed a pretty gen ' eral advance cf salary granted teach ers. Mr Dieffenbacher did not ask for an advauce, but eomu of the mem bers seemed to think that the differ ence was too slight between the salarv of the principal of the high school and what was being paid the borough sup erintendent. Hence the advance. Joseph Weidskin, of Philadelphia, was asleep near a window in the third story of hie home. He rolled over and fell out of the window to the side ; walk, where he struck, fracturing hif skull. PUBLIC H IMB EEECIEB ! The teachers of the public schools of the borough were elected for the ensu ing year at the regular meeting of the j school board Monday eve. 'ihere were few changes in the personnel of the corps.

T'.iis informa- j tlon comeH as a surpr'jQ following as it doss a statemen' made earlier in the season by a rep- .-entative of the State highway dep- .meet to the effect that the reconstruction of the road would in all probability be taken up this i j summer. j As week after week passed, how ever, and the State highway depart ment was not heard from Oliver Hoov er anil W. R. Clark last week took a trip to Harrisburg to determine the status of the State highway. From the assistaut State highway commissioner Messrs. Hoover and Clark learned that, owing to shortage of.funds available for road reconstruc tion.it was impossible to say when the j State highway in Gearhart township : could be built—certainly not this sum mer and it was doubtful whether it could be bailt next summer. The only section of State highway in Northumberland county that will be built this year lies inTurbot town ship. Application for the latter roa-i was made prior to petitioning for the highway on the soutii side, which, it will be recalled, lies on the Suijbury road between the river bridge and Kipp's run.

ICE CREAM BY NEW PROCESS Fallon s havp installed a It a< ice •ream machitA. the first ever used in Danville. It is something of a marvel both in point, of capacity and the qu ality of product. The ice is first ground and mixed with salt. The brine produced is con veyed by pipes to the machine con taiaing the cream, where tlie freeziug occurs. An electric motor furnishes the power. The freezing occuts almost instant aneously. On Monday evening ten I gallons of ice cream was made in thir : teen minutes A secoud trial brought about better results, ten gallon- being produced in eleven minutes. JThe ice cream was frozen dry and perfectly ! stiff. Hazleton's school district has receiv j td f.'.tiiiO in tuition from non resident { pupils in a year. ESTABLISHED IN 1855 Ell HI jpui Our townspeople while enjoying a final nap about five o'clock yesterday morning were aroused by an alarm of fire, which was the first that ti;e fire bells had been heard in Danville for several months. The fire ooourred in the Pennsyl vania Brake Beam works and,although the damage that resulted was slight, yet for a few minutes the plant was in great danger. A portion of the felt that covers the roof, worked loose and blew [liown to a point near the eaves where it lodged against the iron smoke stack, at the northeastern part of the plant where the assembling department is locat ed. As soon as the fire was replenish ed for the day and the stack became hot the felt ignited. The watchman discovered the fire at, the very moment when it originated and tried to apply the means at iiaud to extinguish it. Tiie fire plug, how ever, broke while he was attempting to open it and the water poured out over the floor of the works. Acting upon the first impulse the watchman ran over to East Market street, which at that early hour was still deserted. Procuring tie key he entered the hose house of the Wash ington Fire company and rang the bell. This orought out not only the Wash ington, but also the Friendship Fire company. The "Washiea"' were the first to reach the mill. The fire on tiie roof was burning slowly and had done but little damage. It was only the work of a few moments to connect the hose and get a stream of water on the roof, after which tiie fire was soon ex tinguished. Five doilars will cover the damage done by thelfire. The wat er, however, especially that which es caped from the broken fire plug,''caus ed considerable damage about the mill. The flow of water from the broken plug could not b? checked until the foreman made his way over to East Market street and turned the water off. Meanwhile the floor of the plant was deluged. EXCELLENT PROTECTION. No plant is bettergprepared for fight ing tire than the Brake Beam works. Four plugs are installed, each with a long section of hose conveniently ar ranged so that while one man attaches the boss and turns on the water anoth er can unreel the hosa carrying it to any part of the works desired. Water can be gotteu on auy'pirt ct the mill by the employes of the plant in lons than five minutes after tiie tire is dis covered, provided the men remain (cl hca . • A MEDAL • OR SAVING BRILL Aitlicr Brunei. - u i.f Dr. and Mrs. .!.

IMPROVEMENTS ABOUT THE STATION The Pennsylvania railroad company is making a nice improvement 011 the south side in connection with the fence recently erected to enclose the track. Opposite the station the space be tween the track and fence is being neatly terraced and sodded auei the gutter along the track laid with brick. | The bauk flanking tiie brick pavement leading from the crossing to the sta tion has also been leveled and sodded.
