WELL-KNOWN MAN
CLAIMED BY DEATH
George H. Sonneborn died at his
home, Riverside,
day afternoon following an illness
of loss than a week.
111 the above brief statement is em
bodied news that will cause the keen
est sorrow. George H. Sonneborn was
a man who was beloved in the best
and fullest sense of tnat term. Plain
and unassuming he was the soul of
sincerity and honor. His heart was
touched by tie! sorrows that he saw
around him and the lowly and unfor
tunate had 110 truer friend than Mr.
Sonneborn. He was'a man well read,
intelligent and progressive, one whose
companionship was eagerly sought by
those capable of appreciating the qual
ities that enter into true manhood.
Mr. Sonneborn was aged fifty-one
years. He was born in Philadelphia
and graduated from the high school of
that city. Early in life he went to
New York engaging with George 11.
Harding, patent right attorney. In
188(1 ho was admitted to the bar. About
18S'J 110 engaged with John R. Ben
nett, remaining with him until the
latter's death.
In 1907, Mr. Sonneborn, with his
wife, removed to Riverside, where 110
has since lived retired.
Ou Monday of last week the deceas
ed was in Danville, seemingly in his
usual health. TIIO next day he was
taken ill, symptoms of pneumonia de
veloping. His condition grew rapidly
worse. Monday morning slight hopes
were entertained for his recovery.
Death, however, came unexpectedly.
Mr. Sonneborn is survived by his
widow, and one brother, Lewis Sonne
born, of Philadelphia. He was a Free
mason, belonging to a lodge in New
York city.

,T.*W. Swarts, 211 Church street,
Danville,Pa.,says : " Several years ago
I was caused much suffering by pains
in my back and kidneys and often
there was a lameness and soreness
across my loins. Nothing gave me
much relief until I took Doan's Kid

Store. They restored my kidneys to a
normal condition and after this was
done the pains and aches ceased.Since
then, when my back has botheied me,
I have taken Doan's Kidney Pills and

NIGHT BLAZE IN STORE
As John Jacobs stopped out of Len
der's drug store at lo:3u o'clock Mon
day eve he saw the interior of Frank
Linker's tobacco store and pool room
on the corner of Mill and Mahoning
street, to be a mass of fire and smoke.
Calling Charles Leniger to his assist
ance, Mr. Jacobs burst open the door
of the burning room, forced his way
through the dense smoke aud pulled
down a curtain that was in a blaze.
The curtain, a heavy one, which divid
ed the store proper from the pool table,
had been almost entirely consumed by
the flames and the fire was eating in
to the wall aud ceiling. With a few
minutes more of a start the fire would
have been beyond control in the old
wooded building,and the result would
have been a disastrous fire.
Mr. Linker had closed his store less
than a half hour before the fire was
discovered audit is believed that the
flumes were communicated to the cur
tain from a cigarette.

STATE HIGHWAY
NEEDS REPAIRS
The State highway, especially that
portion lying between the borough and
the Valley township line, is in a very
bad condition and to neglect to make
thorough repairs this spring would he
to jeopardize the road.
The highway has now seen several
years' continuous service since the last
touch was applied. The effect of the
wear and tear is very apparent. Ev
ery trace of the top course of screen
ings has disappeared. The stones, even
those of the largest size, nsed in con
struction, have worked loose from the
roadbed, making the highway rough
and opening the way for speedy dis
integration.
In an interview with A. S. Clay,
engineer of the State highway depart
ment, Monday some facts relative to
the care of macadam were learned.
In the first place it may not be gen
erally understood that, although built
with State aid, the care and preserva
tion of a State highway devolves
wholly on the township through which
it passes. In too many instances, after
a highway has been secured the view
taken seems to be that it is going to
last forever, whereas, Mr. Clay says, to
protect a piece of macadam and make
the road lasting constant attention is
necessary. Otherwise what might lie a
fine anil permanent improvement will
speedily goto pieces, bringing a very
poor return for all the money invest
ed.
The first repairs, the engineer says,
should he put 011 the highway six
months after it is thrown open to
travel; thereafter at the end of every
year repairs should be made. What the
section of highway at this place needs
at the present time, Mr. Clay says, is
a coat of limestone screenings. If
something is not done, this spring, he
says, the road will go to pieces very
fast.
He is much interested in the road
and personally ho will do everything
110 can to assist the supervisors to put
the highway in good condition. If he
is notified when the township wishes
to make repairs, he says, he will visit
the highway, giving such advice as
will secure the best results at a min
imum of cost.

Rough House Over Phone Pole.
I 1 ive hundred people gathered and
feeling ran high when a forco of men
attempted to raise a telephone pole in
front of the dwellings of Misses Mary
and Cairie Wilson at Reading,and the
women and others objected. A team
was backed to the ourb near the hole,
an American flag was held over the
scene aud a stepladder was placed
across the opening,to prevent the men
from working. Police had to disperse
the crowd. The telephone company
was ordered by the city officials to
suspend operations and the matter will
be aired in court. Miss Carrie Wilson
alleges that three of the telephone
workmen knocked her down and used
her roughly; she has brought suit
against them.
Brotherly lovo seems to be taking a
vacation in Philadelphia.
TEAM BACKS OVER
HIGH EMBANKMENT
Mr. and Mrs. Hurley Cotner, of
Cooper township, figured in a thrill
ing driving accident, Saturday night,
in which the horsos and wagon went
down over a steep embankment and a
block and tackle had to bo employed
to rescue the team. Mr. and Mrs.
Cotner jumped in the nick of time and
thus escaped death or terrible injury.
The accident occurred on the road
leading up through the hollow from
Jacob Shultz' to Mt. Zion school
house. The road is dug in the side of
a hill, on the lower side the declivity
being steeper than a barn roof.
At the steepest point, Mr. Cotner
undertook to turn around. In doing so
the rear part of the wagon went down
over the embankment. The horses
would no doubt have boon able to hold
the wagon and to have brought it back
into the roadway, had it not been for
the ice, which caused the horses to
slip. Losing their foothold they were
dragged along with the wagon down
over the steep declivity.
Mrs. Cotner jumped from the wag
on, escaping injury, as soon as the
rear wheels went over the hank. Mr.
Cotner held onto the lines until the
last moment, when he leaped out of
the wagon and seized the horses by
the head. Nothing could be done.how
ever, to prevent a terrible accident.
The wagon which went down the
hill struck a tree about twenty-five
feet below the road, the helpless horses
in turn lodging against tin* wagon.
The first 011 the spot to render assist
ance was Jacob Shultz, who lives near.
The next to arrive was Philip Boyer,
the owner of the horses and wagon.
Entangled in the harness the horses,
although spirited animals, were help
less,one lying upon the other. A block
and tackle were procured and thus the
top-most horse was laboriously lifted
or dragged up to the road.
The other horse lay oxl his back with
his feet in the air. Patient effort was
made to lift the horse to the road; but
he is a finely developed animal weigh
ing 1400 pounds and no part of the
harness proved strong enough to hear
his weight.
It became apparent that there was
only one way of saving the animal and
that was to lower him by means of the
rope and tackle to the bottom of the
declivity,at least fifty feet below. The
plan worked out all right. The men
standing beside the helpless horse lift
ed and tugged at him and thus he was
finally gotten upon his feet, after
which by means of the tackle lie was
lowered little by little until he reach
ed level ground.
The hoise was very badly bruised
but does not seem to have sustained
any injury that will cripple him per
manently. The other horse was only
slightly injured find Monday was
driven into town The wagon, of
course, was badly wrecked.

THE COUNTY TAX
AT FOUR MILLS
The county tax has been fiexd at 4
mills by the commissioners, the same
as it was (lnring the last two years.
The count>tax for several years was
three and a half mills,but it was found
necessary to add one-half a mill on
account of the live thousand dollars'
contribution that the county was auth
orized to make to the soldiers' monu
ment fund.
During last week tho county com
missioners were sitting as a board of
revision as required to do triennially,
to revise, correct and equalize the
valuation of all property taxable by
law in tho county. The board of com
missioners was engaged practically
the whole week. Every piece and
parcel of real estate in the county was
carefully gone over.
General improvements leading to in
creased valuation were apparent in the
first ward of Danville. Elsewhere
throughout the county the valuation
as a general thing remains the same as
formerly.
An exception was found in Valley
township, were according to the asses
sor's returns there was a decrease in
the valuation of over $22,000. In this
township, except where the board felt
that a decrease was warranted, the
valuation was placed back at the form
er figures.
Many people,the commissioners say,
seem to think that a decrease of valua
tion leads to a reduction of tax, losing
sight of the self-evident fact that the
county commissioners, tho school
hoards, poor boards and boards'of sup
ervisors throughout the county must
have a certain amount of revenue and
that if there is a marked decrease in
valuation then there must be an in
crease of millage to meet the require
ments of theso several boards.
The taxpayers will receive no notice
of changes made in valuation until the
assessors make their annual visit in
April. Following the assessors' visits
appeals will be held at the office of
the county commissioners, of which
due notice will bo given.

CURRENT BROUGHT
FROM IRONDALE
Ou Saturday night for the first time
the electrical current was brought in
to Danville from Irondale; the two
transformers recently installed in the
plant of the Standard Electric Light
company were started up and the sys
tem was given a thorough trial. Ev
erything was found to work admira
bly. The test will be continued each
night this week. In ten days' time the
high voltage current will be brought
to Danville from Harwood.
The transformers, as the apparatus
are known which produce from a giv
en electrical current another current
of different voltage, are two in nnm
her and are installed among the other
machinery at the plant. The current
last night and Saturday night entered
the transformers at 23,000 volts and
left them reduced to 2,200 volts. The
current from Harwood will reach the
local plant at 25,000 volts and will be
reduced to 2,200 volts.
It lias been ascertained that there is
practically no loss in voltage on trans
mission lines between points such as
Danville and Harwood.
The long lino is now completed.
Nothing remains but to finish the high
tension oil switches for controlling the
25,000 volts at the Berwick and the
Bloomsburg plants.
The Irondale plant will be run each
night thjs week to fully test the wires
and machinery. Meanwhile the lines
of the Danville and Sunbnry Transit
company and the Danville and Blooms
burg Elect!ic Railway company will
lie supplied with the Irondale current
| after being reduced in voltage. Con
nection with the overhead system of
the Danville and Bloomsburg line has

crossing on Walnut street. After the
Harwood current has been brought to
Danville the local plant,now operated
by steam, will be run by electricity.
None of the engines will bo used.

early today lynched a negio preacher
by tho name of Wallace,who last night
shot and seriously wounded Policeman

out of the county for several months.
The prosecution is said to have proved
that there were nearly 400 fiadulent
ballots nlsced in the different hnveu

was the judge it is said that the fel
low who put the ballots into the box
did not even take the trouble to crease

Another reminder of the sucooss at
tending the negotiations of notes by
P. J. Kiernan among tho Catholic
churches in tho Pittsburg diocese came
recently when a summons in assumpsit

WILL SUBMIT A
NEW PROPOSITION
Pursuant to action of council taken
at the meeting Monday night Chief
Burgess A. C. Amesbury and President
of tlie Board of Health Dr. P. C. New
baker, Friday, will visit Harrisburg
for the purpose of conferring with
Commissioner of Health Dr. Samuel
G. Dixon relative to the impure state
of the effluent from the sewage dispos
al plant at the hospital for the insane,
discharged into the river above the in
take to the borough water works.
Three samples of the effluent in all
have been subjected to bacteriological
examination at differnet laboratories.
I Each report shows that among the
sewage organisms discovered are the
I dreaded bacilli coli, which exist in
| great numbers. The report from the
laboratory of the State department of
| health received earlier in the season,
i was especially bad, showing that in
the efflueut there were 20,000 bacilli
I coli per cubic centimeter.
In view of these unfavorable reports
council fails to see how the establish
ment of a sewage disposal plant lias
improved the situation any, sewage
; seeming to be as great a menace to
Danville as it was before the plant
was installed. It is for the purpose of
bringing all the facts personally to the
attention of Dr. Dixon and determin
ing whether something can not bo
done that will bring relief that the
burgess and president of the board of
health have been delegated to visit
Harrisburg.
They will take with them the three
laboratory reports showing the impur
ity of effluent and will endeavor to
| enlist Dr. Dixon in a proposition to
get rid of the effluent at the hospital
by bringing it down the abandoned
canal and discharging it into the bor
ough sewer.

SPORT FOR CHILDREN
Now that the ice lias disappeared
the wide concrete pavement at the
courthouse has become a favorite floor
for roller skaters. The boys and girls
who frequent the spot are very small,
some being mere tots. The smooth
concrete affords nearly as good .skat
ing as a roller rink. The pavement on
the north side of the courthouse along
'with the wide sidewalk in front af
fords a very long run and the little
ones enjoy the sport immensely, some
, being very good skaters.
Each day after school the concrete
!is crowded. The noise of the skates
and the shouts and the laughter are
almost deafening.
Pedestrians occasionally have a hard
time getting through,but no one seems
to envy the children the good time
they are having and consequently
there is no complaint, most persons
preferring to take t he sidewalk on the
opposite side of the street.
