PASSENGERS AR~T
SADLY SHAKEN UP
Passengers on the Pennsylvania pass
euger train that leaves Soutli Danville
at 12:10 Tuesday afternoon received
a shaking up, whioh gives them a
pretty fair idea of what a railroad
wreck is like. The mishap, although
hardly a wreck, was attended with
effects only a little loss tragical.
Nothing occurreil until the train
reached Sunburv. If hail slowed down
anil the passengers every moment were
expecting that it would stop. Some
hail arisen anil standing in the aisles
were putting on their overcoats; oth
ers remaind seated ami unsuspecting
of danger were chatting good-natured
ly.
All of a sudden there was a violent
jar as though caused by a collision.
Thou occurred the very tiling that is
bound to happen when a body in mo
tion comes in contact with another
boily in rest. Passengers turned somer
saults in the aisles. Benjamin Rosen
stein of this city took a header through
the open door of the coacli and saved
himself from going headfirst into the
baggage ear by grasping the brake
wheel on the platform of the latter.
The effect of the shock was sucli as
to throw everybody forward, in many
instances causing them to strike their
foreheads or faces on the backs of tlie
seats in front of them. Some were
thrown completely over the seats.
Among the passengers the worst in
jured of all, probably, was the Rev.
A. J. Irey, pastor of the First Baptist
church, of this city, who hail a tooth
knocked loose and was very painfully
cut about the mouth. Attorney Wil
liam Kase West was also on the train
and sustained a bad bruise just above
the eve. He was unable .to transact
West says that in all at least thirty
five persons were injured in some de
gree.
The accident, it appears, was caused
by a failure of the air brake to operate
properly. The engineer was unable to
stop the train and it ran against the
"bumpers" erected at the end of the
track near the station where the train
stops. The speed was considerably re
duced, but the .-hock of the impact as
demonstrated by the results was quite
severe.
THE ONLY WAY
Many Danville Citizens Have Discovered
It.
Just what to do when the kidneys
are affected, is a question that con
cerus both young and old. Weak kid
neys neglected <n childhood lead to
life-long suffi ring People of advanc
ed years, with less vitality, suffer
doubly. In youth or age. languor,
backache, urinary irregularity, dizzi
ness and nervousness make life a bur
den.
There is one remedy that acts di
rectly on the kidneys and cures these
troubles. Doan's Kidney Pills owe
theirjworld-wide fam • to the fact that
they cure sic!: kidneys and cure them
permanently. Follow the exsminln of
this Danville citizen and you JJwill be
convinced that this is so.

Street, Danville, Pa., say : "1 used
Doan's Kidney Pills about three

SYMPTOMS OF
TUBERCULOSIS
The fine herd of blooded cattle at
the hospital for the insane last week
was subjected to the regular semi-an
nual inspection. Twelve out of a herd
of one hundred and twenty head have
been found infected.
The inspection was conducted by
Veterinarian J. O. Reed,the tuberculin
test being applied. The infected cattle
will be shipped to Scianton today
where they will be disposed of by the
federal inspector.
The result shows how essential it is
that cattle be regularly inspected at
short intervals, if the public is to be
properly safeguarded. The tuberculin
test is based on the latest scientific
discoveries and is considered infalli
ble.
To illustrate how prone cattle are to
become infected with tuberculosis it
might he stated that among the twelve
head condemned were two which stood
the test four months ago. They belong
ed to a herd of twenty-five cattle,
which was purchased at Auburn, N.
Y., in the latter part of November.
These cattle were all inspected in the
presence of Howard B. Schultz, stew
ard of the hospital for the insane,by a
representative of the Pennsylvania
Live Stock Sanitary board, the tuber
culin used also coming from Pennsyl
vania. The twenty-five head showed
up sound at that time.
Good health is impossible when
there is any derangement of the di
gestive organs. Foley's Orino Laxa
tive is a natural remedy for stomach,
liver and bowel troubles. It aids di
gestion,stimulates the liver, and cures

over thirty thousand dollars was put j

falls directly into the channels of leg- j

i USING HARWOOD
ELECTRICITY
The Columbia Light, Power ami
Railways company is now supplied
| with electricity from Harwood. The
j high voltage current came into Dau
i ville for the first time at 6 o'clock Sun
day eve and during the night was em
j ployed by the company in furnishing
1 light to its customers,
j The Columbia Light, Power and
i j Railways company did not expect to
i j utilize the Harwood current until Wed
■ ! nesday, but owing to a breakdown on
j the system it was necessary to change
r ; its plans. One of the coils in the gen
i erator of the Columbia and Montour
- | power house burned out Saturday,
t] which threw that entire division out
s j of service. With difficulty the schedule
- j between Danville and Blooms burg was
3 j maintained, by utilizing the current
! generated at the Standard Electric
1 Light plant to take the cars all the
j way to Bloomsburg instead of only as
far as Qrovania as was formerly done,
j It was impracticable to think of re- [
; pairing the generator within several j
( days; meanwhile no cars could be op
j crated between Bloomsburg and Ber- j
! wick and the Danville plant would be I
seriously overtaxed. It was to meet I
I the unforeseen exigency that, the Col
' umbia Light, Power and Railways 1
! company decided to bring the high i
I tension current over from Harwood j
I forthwith.
A preliminary experiment was made i
j about 12 o'clock Saturday night. It [
| was not until i) o'clock Sunday j
j morning that the high voltage current |
| was brought over and harnessed to the i
! Columbia, and Montour division. All
day Sunday and Sunday night the cars
between Bloomsburg and Berwick were
i operated by the Harwood current. To
' bo explicit it should be said that the
Harwood current operates a motor,
which in turn operates the generator
that furnishes current for the railway.
The same thing will take place at
Danville, although for a short time,
the generators furnishing current, to
the Danville and Bloomsburg line and
t | Danville and Sunbury Transit com-
I j pany will be operated by steam the
| same as in the past and the Harwood
I current will bo utilized at night only
!to supply commercial light. George
j M.West, superintendent of the Stand
| ard Electric Light plant, Sunday
stated that it would probably be a
month before steam would be displac
ed at this end of the line and the high
tension or Harwood current employed
exclusively. In a week the powei
j house at Grovania will be dismantled
112 | and some of the machinery will be
: brought to Danville and installed in
* the Standard Electric Light plant.
Probably few people were aware of
s what l>«<* Hm TT..fi.rrwi.l
current of 23,000 volts flashed over the
long line into Danville Sunday eve.
I The high voltage adds an element of
j danger about the plant and conspien
' ons notices are posted, warning peo
' pie to " keep hands off." In order to
' | insure safety the transmission wire is
1 j carried over the P. & R. and D. L. &
r W. railroads at a height of respect ive
'jly 43 and 50 feet. The wire is carried
: over the river at Berwick a hundred
j feet above low water by means of tow
. era—one on each shore. All work on
j the line is completed.

Origin of "Watered Stock."
The expression "watered stock,"
which describes so well the expansion

HE-ELECT BASE
BALL MANAGERS
The Danville Athletic association
held an important meeting Friday even
ing in the office of Ralph Kisner,Esq.,
and laid definite plans for tlie part t his
town will take in the Susquehanna
league season of ISIIO. Present at the
meeting were President T. J. Price,
Vice President \V. G. Pursel, Secre
tary Ralph Ivisner, Treasurer Harry
Ellenbogen, Directors James Ryan,
Thomas G. Vincent, W. J. Rogers and
Robert Pursel.
Probably the most important action
of the meeting was the re-election of i
Simon K. Hoffman and Arthur J. Law- <
j renco as manager and assistant man- J
ager, respectively. i
The board also authorized another 1
' year's membership in the Susquehanna i
i league. i
I The managers were authorized to at <
1 once secure players, give them try outs ,
I and sign a team. In this connection it
might be said that it is very gratify- i
' ing to the directors to know that near- i
I ly all of last year's team have express- i
■ed a willingness to affiliate with the
j Danville team this year. The popular- i
I ity of Danville as a base ball town is
; also shown by the numerous requests
from all sections asking for a chance
on the local club. Very little difficulty
| is anticipated in securing a list of first
; class players.
A committee, composed of Puisel,
i Kisner and Rogers, was appointed to
adopt a financial system and formulate
i contracts for advertising on the ball
j park fence. The managers and Trea
surer Ellenbogen were authorized to
sceure suits. The grounds will be put
: | in playing condition at as early a date
! as possible.
i! The general tone of the meeting was
i very optimistic. It is the intention of
| the directors to give the town even a
• j better quality of base ball than last
. season.
The league schedule, as adopted by
the schedule committee at Wilkes
i Barre last Sunday, will be brought be
fore the managers of the Susquehanna
league tomorrow at a meeting to be
> i held in Berwick. The local board has
[ called a meeting for Monday evening

RELIC OF THE PAST
Mr. W. C. Frick whilo looking over
( some old papers in the family home
j j stead recently unearthed a very inter
. etsing relic in the form of the "00l-
I unibia Guards' Orderly Book." In
connection with the latter title set
forth on the fly loaf is the date,
"1842."
t The hook after the lapse of so many
i years is still '» «<">* uuuilitlun, nl
s though time-stained. The very first
page enchains the interest, as it con
f tains the roster of the Columbia
. ; Guards. The name of each member is
. set fortli in plain handwriting to
j getlier with place of residence and
4 time of admission.
There were just fifty members, the
- place of residence in most instances be-
I ing Danville and Mahoning town-
II ship. The date of admission ranges
from 1 834, when William Sechler
i joined, to 1842, when James 11. ?»lit
chell became a member. Among the
names are representatives of nearly
all of Danville's old families. A few
of the most familiar areas follows:
1 Jacob Cornelison, Abraham Sechler.
Samuel Blue, David Roberts, Peter
Diehl, Clarence H. Frick, John G.
Thompson, Jonathan Sidler, Paul
Leidy, Robert Rnssel, Arthur V.\
Frick, Mover Lyons, Alem Sechler and
Charles L. Sholes.
Mr. Frick has presented the old
book to Goodrich Post No. 22, G. A.
R., which will carefully treasure it
among other relics at the post room.

BIG NEW GOAL
BREAKER BURNS
WILKES-BARRE, March 23.
Oue of the newest and largest break
ers in the anthracite coal region was
destroyed by lire early this morning
when the Mineral Spring structure,
owned and operated by the Lehigh
Valley Coal company, was burned to
the ground. The loss in a direct charge
is about *250,000. But the Valley lias
a big shipment ahead of it and the de
struction of the breaker will entail
damages far in excess of this.
Over a thousand men and boys are
thrown out of employment. The origin
of the lire is unknown. In the breaker
at the time were 500 tons of prepared
coal and under the chutes were five
big'railroad cars loaded for market,all
of which were destroyed. Several
mules were suffocated at the bottom
of the pit. Several workmen were re
pairing the structure last night and it
is thought that they ignited the oily
timber in some manner as yet un
determined. Today the Lehigh Valley
company had men on the sceno pre
paring to clean up and immediately be
gin the reconstruction of the breaker.
