HEADLONG FALL OF_25 FEE! P. H. McCaffrey, a waterman, em ployed at the Reading Iron works,met with a very bad accident Sunday eve, falling hoadfirst from the top of a boiler to the ground, a distance of twenty-five feet. He escaped with a scalp wound aud a bad shaking lip. Mr. McCaffrey was working on top of the boiler when in some way he lost his balance. He endeavored to save himself by grasping some timbers but was unable to do so and fell head first to the ground. A very bad scalp wound was inflicted, in addition to which he was badly stunned by the fall. Several other employes ran to his as sistance. He was unable to arise and seemed to be suffering internal pain. Dr. Shultz was immediately called. Pending his arrival the injured man was placed on a cot and carried out to Northumberland street,whore later he was examined by the physician. It was found that no bones were broken. There was a bad scalp wound, which, although painful, is not re garded as dangerous. The doctor last evening did not think there were in ternal injuries of a serious nature, al though the man seemed to suffer very much from the effect of the shock. He was removed to his home on Cherry street, where at a later hour ho seemed to be resting easily. Part of Old Canal Sold. The part of the old Pennsylvania canal between Seliusgrove aud North umberland was last week sold to the Mauor lieal Estate & Trust company, of Philadelphia, a bank which con ducts financial transactions for the Pennsylvania railroad.

ALARM OF FIRE An alarm of fire about 10:30 o'clock Saturday morning caused a ripple of excitement about town. The fire was located at the Reading Iron works. It was only a small blaze caused by a spark from one of the furnaces lodg ing among the timbers of the roof. When discovered the blaze was rap idly spreading, but the mill has ex cellent facilities for fighting fire and the employes have been well drilled, so that in an incredibly short period of time the mill hose was brought in to play and a stream of water turned upon the fire. In less than five min utes from the time it was discovered the blaze was extinguished. When the fire was discovered the whistle at the mill was sounded and this in turn was followed by the fire bells. The Continental and the Friend ship Fire companies responded, but each learned that its services were not needed before it reached the mill.

' LAW GOVERNING MOTOR VEHICLES Under the present law if the borough authorities desire to fix the speed limit for automobiles at less than twenty four miles an hour it will be neces sary for them to erect signs at each end of the streets traversed by motor vehicles; if this is done the speed lim it dare not exceed twelve miles an hour. The act relating to motor-vehicles approved by Governor Stuart on April 27, 1909, provides: "that no person shall drive a motor-vehicle at a rate of speed exceeding one mile in two aud one-half minutes: provided, that the local authorities having charge of any of the highways may, in danger ous, congested, or huiltup portions, place signs marked 'Danger: run slow,' and at these places the speed limit shall not exceed the rate of a mile in five minutes, the said signs to bo plainly legible and the leters to be not less than five inchos in height". The above would imply that unless signs as above described are erected automobiles may run at any speed up to the rate of one mile in two and one half minutes. At the same time, the act provides "that no person shall op erate a motor-vehicle on the public highways recklessly or at a rate of speed greater than is reasonable aud proper, having regard to the width, traffic and use of the highway, or so as to endanger property or the life or limb of any person. The provision relating to the pass ing of street cars should be strictly enforced in Danville, where owing to the relatively narrow street several accidents have occurred in the past. The new act provides ; "When a motor-vehicle meets or ov ertakes a street passenger car which lias stopped for the purpose of taking on or discharging passengers, the motor-vehicle shall not pass said car on the side on which the passengois get on or off until the car has started aud any passengers who have alighted shall have gotten safely to the side of the road." The safety of pedestrians on Mill street, especially, requires that the section of the act relating to the op eration of signals be rigidly enforced. Every operator is required to sound his horn or signal device when ap proaching a street or road crossing, when overtaking another vehicle or any person walking upon the public high way or a horse or other animal of draft or burden being led, ridden 01 driven thereon. When signaled to do so by the driver of a horse or other auimal the operator shall stop the uiotor-vehicle and, if circumstances require it, shall stop his engine until the danger is avoided. No person when intoxicated shall operate a motor-vehicle and any per son guilty of doing so shall be subject to a fine of not less than one hundred dollars, nor more than three hundred dollars or imprisonment,not exceeding one year or both. In addition the license of any person guilty of a viola tion of this section may be suspended for six mouths.

BUILDERS HEARD FROM The three new county bridges, res pectively at Ootner's, Sechler's and at Maust's, contracted for last year but not erected, will be built during the next few weeks. The iron work was shipped on March 24th. The contract called for the comple tion of the bridges last fall,but owing to unforeseen delays the builders were unable to get out the material before winter set in. The county commissioners Tuesday received word from the Nelson-Merv- I dith company, which holds the con tract, explaining that the material has been shipped; also that a mau repre senting the company and having charge of the work will arrive here in the course nf a weetr or ten IIHVB when nil three bridges will be erected as quick ly as possible.

Base ball,and good baseball at that, and on a first class ground, is assured for Bloomsburg this season. For the past week a committee has been selling stock in the new athletic association, and sufficient money been raised to assure success to the plans. The stock is being sold at $5 per share and no more than five shares are sold to any one person. A meeting for organization will be held Wednes day evening, when a board of direct ors, a manager and assistants will be chosen. In the athletic park, which council recently granted permission to fence, Bloomsburg will have a ball park that will compare favorably with any in this section. Tho ground occupies a whole block, from Centre to Iron streets, between 7th aud Bth, opposite to the Columbia county jail. On this grounds back in tho late 80s aud early 90s occurred some of the famous old time base ball battles between Dan ville and Bloomsburg. The ground will be fixed up in first class shape, fenced and a grand stand erected to seat 1,000 people.

R., is moving from tho rooms in tho second story of the ICrebs building to the third story of tho Gross building,near ly opposite on Mill street. The veter ans in their now quarters will be ob liged' to climb one story highet but they console themselves with the re flection that they will have more com modious quarters and will profit by the change in oilier ways. What invests the moving with es pecial interest is the fact that the post occupied its quarters in the Krebs building for the long period of thirty five years. The sole objection to the building seemed to be that the rooms were too small. The post enters the Gross building under a five-years' lease. It has the ontire third floor embracing the whole building,"one-half of which, on the ground floor, is occupied by Lore's jewelry store. Water and gas have been installed in the third story. The walls are being repapered and the woodwork repainted. Besides,carpent ers are at work making such changos as are necessary to accommodate the post. The third story lends itself admir ably to the arrangement. Besides a very largu, light and airy lodge room, there aie ante rooms, reception rooms, a store room,commodious kitchen with pantry, toilet room, lockers, &c. The post has sub-let its rooms to sev eral other organizations,including the P. O. S. of A., O. U. A. M., Sons of Veterans, Iron Moulders' Union, &c. It was explained yesterday that the rooms will be occupied every night in the week. Foley's Kidney Remedy is a safe aud certain remedy for all kidney and bladder diseases, whether acute or chronic.

FIRST OATS SOWED County Commissioner John Cole man, who owns a fiue farm in Liberty township, sowed two acres of oats last week. So far as can be determined he Is the first in the county to do any planting this spring. He began plough ing nearly three weeks ago. Apropos of the above, Associate Judge Frauk G. Bleo Saturday stated that the spring of 1801) resembled the pres ent one. Weather in all respects like that of this spring continued all through March, lasting until April 10th. On April 17th a heavy snow fell, which at some places reached a depth of three feet. The weather was bad and wintry until sometime in May. Nearly all tho ploughing was done and much oats was sowed in March. Tho oats crop, however. Judge Blee says, was nearly a total failure. The present season may not be a par allel, as it is not clear that the spring of 181*9 was preceded by a winter as rigorous and uniformly cold as the one just past. Worth a Dollar a Drop.

When the plight of the little one was discovered its clothing was a mass of flames. Before the fire could be extinguished only a few shreds of clothing remain ed upon the child and the flesh over the greater jiart- of the body was burn ed raw. Dr. Paules was called, who did all that he could for the little suf ferer, although he realized that the burns were fatal.
