OPENING GUTTERS
ON MILL STREET
The thaw Monday afforded ail op
portunity to remove a good deal of the
ice from the sidewalks and gutters,
where it has lain in a thick mass for
some weeks.
The street commissioner for the first
thing Monday morning put the bor
ough employes at work opening up the
gutters on Mill street in order to drain
off the water, which was beginning to
overflow the sidewalks. At many
places the ice covering the paving was
a foot in thickness and rose higher
than the sidewalks. It was frozen so
hard that gutters could be cut open
only by means of axes oijother sharp
tools. The ice melted very rapidly
yesterday aud together with what was
done to drain off the water conditions
were much improved.
On the other streets of town the
gutters as a rule are blocked with
snow and the sidewalks are in a bad
condition as the result. With a largo
proportion of people it seems to be a
mooted question upon whom the re
moval of the snow from the gutters
devolves—the borough or the owner of
or tenant occupying the property.
That the borough does open the gut
ters in some instances was evidenced
by the work done on Mill street Mon
day. It would seem, however, that
work done by the borough in this line
can not be taken as a precedent.
The matter was threshed over at the
last meeting of council. The borough
ordinance is not difficult to interpret.
The language plainly sets forth that
it is the duty of owners or occupants
of property to keep the "pavements,
foot walks aud gutters" of their respec
tive properties free from snow.
The street commissioner Monday
explained that as the business thor
oughfare, where public comfort has to
be taken into consideration, Mill street
is regarded by the borough as forming
an exception, and that the work be
ing done there by the borough em
ployes does not imply that the prop
erty owners generally are not regard
ed as responsible where the gutters
are blocked. He admitted, however,
that conditions this winter are ex
ceptional and that at many places it
maybe found impracticable to keep
the gutters open.

HORSE BADLY HURT
A horse belonging to William Kea
buck was badly injured on the Penn
sylvania railroad crossing on the south
side Monday morning. As ho was
being driven over the track along with
another horse one of his hind feet be
came wedged fast between the rail
and the plank on the crossing. Before
he could be released the horse was
badly injured, the hoof being split
from the top to the bottom. The anim
al suffered great pain and there are
some doubts whether ho will ever fully
recover.
One of Spencer Vastine's horses
caught his hoof in the same crossing
Monday. Luckily the shoo came off
and the animal got his foot out with
out sustaining injury.
Many Quail Lo»t.
Heavy loss of game birds because of
the severity of the winter is feared by
State game authorities, who say that
hundreds of quail and other birds
must have perished because of the
deep snow and the inability to get
food. In many sections quail were
saved by sportsmen who trapped and
fed them, while numerous farmers
have systematically cared for the birds.
In many other cases the birds in well
known hunting localities have been
unearod for.
New Flat Boat.
Peter G. Baylor has built a largo flat

il PRISON AT
WiLKES-BARRE
The individual, who fleeced seveial
of our merchants Wednesday by means
of bogus chocks, is in all probability
under arrest in Luzerne county. A
follow who gave his name as Peter
Daley was taken into custody in Nan
ticoke, Friday, for trying to work a
similar game on B. Levy & Bro. of
that place. In his possession was
found an overcoat believed to belong
to R. L. Marks of this city.
Daley or Dalaney a-* ho was known in
Danville, bargained for a suit of
clothes of B. Levy and Bro. on Friday
afternoon, presenting a chock for fif
teen dollars, which at once aroused
the merchant's suspicion. Daley was
arrested aud taken before Justice of
the Peace Burnett of Nanticoke charg
ed with forgery. In default of five
hundred dollars bail he was committed
to jail at Wilkes-Barre. Daley also
attempted to pass a bogus check on C.
H. Lecher of Nanticoke, in each of
the instances cited the checks showed
the payee to bo the American Tank !
company.
Chief of Police Mincemoyer Satur- j
day morning was in communication i
over the 'phone with B. Levy and
Bro., of Nanticoke, the firm that ac
complished Daley's arrest. There is j
no doubt in the officer's mind that
| Daley is tho same fellow who fleeced !
j Danville merchants last Wednesday. !
j No action looking to Daley's prosecu
-1 tien will be taken in this county at
present, as Chief Mincemoyer was as- j
sured by B. Levy aud Bro. that they
have a first class case against the
swindler and will seo to it that he is
prosecuted to the full extremity of the
law.
An overcoat identified as tho one!
taken from R. L. Marks in this city
was iu Daley's possession when he was
arrested and will probably bo return
ed to the owner. B. Levy, who caught!
Daley at his fraudulent game, about
fourteen years ago conducted the cloth
ing business iu Danville. He was
located on Mill street iu the room uow
occupied by Lowenstoin Bros.
Daley, the man arrested, is said to
live in Luzerne borough.

FORMER PASTOR
AT THE GROVE
One of the ablest and withal one of
the most fascinating sermons heard iu
this city iu a long time was preached
in Grove Presbyterian church Sun
day morning by the Rev. Elliott C.
Armstrong, pastor of the Central Pres
byterian church of Williamsport. The
sermon relatod to prayer and the rela
tion of prayer to the great truths of
psychology, a scieuoe which is just
now looming up so prominently and is
engaging the best thought of the
world Whatever view may have been
held before, the sermon clearly dem
onstrated that psychology has quite as
much in it for the Christiau as for the
scientist merely. To many, even those
who had givon the subject somo study,
the sermon opened up a new field of
thought.
Mr. Armstrong took as his text:
Hebrews, 4th Chapter, 16th verse:
"Let us therefore come boldly unto
the throne of grace, that wo may ob
j tain mercy and find grace to help in
I time of need."
j Passing on from the text,which was
J addressed to a people that had lately
| become Christians and with whom
there was always an inducement to re
turn to the old faith, the speaker pro
ceeded to a discussion of the soul's at
I titude in prayer, which easily led up
i to the subject of psychology,
i It is one thing, the speaker said, to
use the words of prayer and another
thing to enter into the spirit of pray
! er. He took up psychology in rela
| tiou to the healing power, of the soul,
but went no further than to ask wheth
er it is a reality. As illustrating the
trend of the times he said it is signific
ant that so much study should be giv
en to the soul of man. It is strange,
too, that so much attention should be
given to the subject of sleep, a state
]in which one-third, of man's life is
passed. Many sermons of the present
day ate being preached on the relig
j ious value ot' sleep.
Much attention throughout the relig
ious world is also beiug given to the
psychology of prayer. This study is
j active not only among religious people
but also among others to whom it has
j become more and more apparent that
the power of prayer is a real force —
just as is electricity or steaui—that
certain lives are driven by it. It can
and has accomplished certain great
things.
In act of prayer the suppliant becomes
; conscious of another and a higher self,
which rises to a loftier and loftier
level. In prayer a fixed idea comes to
dominate the soul and thus is develop
ed a tremendous power for good.
Dwelling on one thought in prayer a
person comes to believe it true. In this
way under the dominion of a fixed
idea poeple have broken the chains of
vice that enslaved them and great
transformations of character have been
wrought.
We all are conscious of having with
in us an underlying realm of soul,
which we do not understand. In the
exercise of prayer this reservoir of un
derlying power breaks through and
wells up. The phenomenon is often
remarkable. Whenever there is a real
j and earnest prayer one becomes eon
scions of a power that comes tip out of
! the depths of the soul.
The speaker described certain types
of old people, which are objectionable
lo us. It is a matter of great moment
jhe said, what wo will be like when
|we grow old. Prayer may help us. It
;is plain that when a man begins to
| pray '•« begins to exercise control over
i his future—that lie becomes more and
more the master of the future.
Prayer may bo made scientific. Let
a boy draw a picture of what ho would
i like to he in the future and under the
| dominion of that fixed idea during
the years of prayer he will grow into
j that very thing he aspires to be.

FOUR UPSETS
111 ONE DM
As the snow and ice accumulates on
the streets the trolley tracks become a
source of groat danger to sleighs.
There wero four upsets oil Saturday.
John Kime met with the first accid
ent Saturday morning. Accompanied
by G. H. Arms, he had just driven
over from the south side. In front of
the Riverviow hotel one of the sleigh
runners dropped into the deep grove
along side of the rail. Mr. Keim turn
ed the horse slightly to one side when
without a moment's warning over
went the sleigh, turning nearly up
side down. Mr. Keim and companion
along with robes]and the seat of the
sleigh were dumped out into the snow.
The horse escaped but was caught near
the Montour houso.
An hour or so later Walter Cobb,
who drives the Grand Union Tea wag
on, iiad an upset on East Market street
near the electric light plant. To do
service in winter gthe Grand Union
wagon box is runners. It is a
trifle top heavy and when it struck a
deep rut atjtlie trolley track it easily
capsized. The driver as well as a boy
accompanying him was thrown out
along with'a lot'of packages contain
ing tea andjooffee. The horse made no
attempt to run away.
During Saturday afternoon two simi
lar accidents occurred near Schatz'
shoe Btore'onfEast'Market street. At
this point a very deep rut occurs along
side the trolley track. The first to up
set was a sleigh containing a woman.
Along with several packages she was
dumped out into the saow, but soon
I regained her feet and ran after the
! horse, which she caught without much
difficulty.
A few minutes later a young man
and woman came along in a stylish
cutter. They were also dumped out
into the snow. The young man was
soon upon his foot, but the woman,

UNIQUE TOWN LAW
. A pretty question lias been raised as
: to just how liiti:.; Joseph L. Townsend,
elected president of the town of
! Bloomsburg la-t Tuesday, will serve
and the Attorney General will probab
ly have to tali" a hand in the matter.
Bloomsburg has the only town form
of government in Pennsylvania, it»s
incorporation as such being one of the
pet ideas of the late Senator Charles
i{. Buckal.'W, who was a! o responsi
ble for the cumulative system of vot
ing there.
The constitutional amendments ie
eently adopted provide, for the t :in of
office of oflicers of townships, bor
oughs, wards and cities; but the Turn
ers of the amendments overlooked the
fact that the State has a " town" with
in its borders, and towns are not in
cluded. as they have not been in any
acts of the Assembly tending to the
improvement of the municipal govern
ment in the State.
Whether Bloomsburg's newly-elect
ed president of Council, who takes up
the office the first Monday in April,
will serve one year, as heretofore, or
whether his office will be brought
within the meaning of the constitu
tional amendment, and he will serve
-l'mouths, remains to be determined
by the Attorney General.

TO KEEP UP
GAME SUPPLY
To a little cotorie of Danville sports
men belongs tlie credit of originating
a movement to "plant" a lot of Hun
garian quail in this immediate section
under conditions that will insure their
absolute protection for several years.
The prime movers are M. 11. Sell ram,
Robert Y. Gearliart and Ralph Kis
ner, Esq.
In the first place it hardly admits of
doubt that quail have suffered greatly
during the present severe winter.
Large numbers have died, and it is
not improbable that they will be
found practically extinct in this sec
tion next spring. Hence the necessity
for rehabilitating the quail. In the
choice of birds these times all instinc
tively tnrn to the Hungarian quail,
which is larger than the American
quail,approximating a pheasant in size.
The weather in Hungary is of about
the same degree of severity as in Penn
sylvania and the natural assumption
would be that birds which thrive iu
Hungary ought to do well here. Large
numbers have already been brought
over and so far as can be learned they
have proven hardy and adapted to the
climate.
At Yanlly, this State, Hungarian
quail are being propagated by private
individuals for the purpose of "plant
ing." The business is conducted for
profit, however, and the price charg
ed for the birds is simply prohibitive,
namely, nine dollars per pair,
j Mr. Kisner wrote to Dr. Joseph
| Kalbfus, secretary of the State game
commission and the reply, received
j Thursday, heartily endorses the move
j meut. Iu view of the high price charg
ed for Hungarian {quail in tins count
| ry, Dr. Kalbfus says the sportsmen of
j some other states have combined and
sent an agent to Hungary for the pur
j pose of bringing over birds,two thous-
I and or more at a time. Thus they are
I able to pay expenses and supply birds
j at much less cost than is charged by
| the (people at Yardley. Dr. Kalbfus
| commends the Danville sportsmen for
J the interest they are taking in tlie
i matter of supplying game and assures
j them that the State game commission
! will do everything iu its power to
i assist in the protection of the birds
| that may be introduced.
| Acting on the suggestion found in
Dr. Kalbfus' letter Mr. Kisner at
once wrote to a gentleman of influence
! in Hungary with whom he lias had
j correspondence and who is so situated
as to be of |service to the Danville
sportsmen. Fnrth 1 action in the pre
mises will be postponed until a reply
! from this gentleman is received.

WASHINGTON
LINCOLN DAK
Friday was observed as Washing
ton-Lincoln Day and Parents' day in
the public schools of Danville. The
programs rendered were appropriate
and revealed the degree of interest
taken in the subjeot by teachers and
pupils alike. The only ones who fell
short of expectations, it Beems, were
the parents, who failed to turn out in
anything like the numbers expected.
The programs were rendered be
tween two and three o'clock. Visitors
began to appear at 1 o'clock. They
put iu the time very pleasantly exam
ining the pupils' papeis exhibited,
which represented the everyday work
done in the schools. No one could but
be pleased with the accuracy.the tidi
ness and the painstaking care revealed
!by the papers. The exercises, too,
! wore of a character which could not
j help but favorably impress the visitor.
I The programs consisted of reoita
i tions, singing, reading, &c., these-
J lections all having reference to Wash
t ington or Lincoln. Here and there in
the lower grades two schools combin-
I ed and gave the exercises in one room,
iln nearly all the rooms Washington's
land Lincoln's portrait were in evi
dence.
Iu the first ward the high school
! with its advanced work and excellent
: equipment proved an additional attrac
tion. The two literary societies held a
joint session, the program being ap
propriate to the occasion.
The department of Science and
Mathematics was the objective point
of most visitors after the programs
hail been rendered. Here Mr. A. I?.
Moyer gave a practical demoustra
' tion of wireless telegraphy, using the
excellent and modern apparatus in
j stalled a few years ago.
The department of Biology and
Mathematics taught by Mr. J. 11. Gask
; ins, was quite as interesting to visit
, ors. The work of the class in botany
especially formed a most striking ex
i li i bit.
In the commercial department,
, taught by Mr. Magill, the typewriting
| class gave an exhibition of speed ami
I general proficiency. The spectacle of
iso many machines in operation at the
same time proved quite a novel one.

Small Pox Warning.
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon Friday issued
a warning against smallpox of which
there are now S-l cases iu the State.
Ho says:"The present cases are of a
modified type, the first symptoms much
resembling an ordinary attack of the
grip. This fact is apt to lead to care
less handling of the cases and thus the
spread of the infection. To save the
State from a general epidemic and
preserve the great record which Penn
sylvania has enjoyed the past two
years by its freedom from the disease.
I cannot urge too strongly the neces

the disease.''
