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.

The part of the old Pennsylvania
canal between Seliusgrove aud North

Many years ago in Eugland men

walked openly in Westminster hall
with a straw In one of their shoes to

IS. CONNELLY
Mrs. James Connelly, a widely
known aud esteemed woman, died very
suddenly at her home, North Mill
street, about one o'clock Saturday aft
ernoon, death being duo to a hemorrh
age of the luugs.
Although not a robnst person Mrs.
Conuelly was always able to be about.
She not only took an active part iu
household affairs,but was a busy fact
or in the community, assisting in
church work and looking after the
sick.
On Saturday moruingslie was in her
uusal health. She spent the foronoon
with others in St. Joseph's church pre
paring for the Easter services. She
took dinuer with her family and after
the meal she left the house to return
to the church. She had not proceeded
far before she became ill and was forc
ed to return. She was seized with a
violent hemorrhafie and was barely able

a very great shock to her family aud
friends.

Without License for Thirty Years.
From the time the "Half Way"
house between Northumberland and
Danville was abandoned about, thirty
years ago, until the present, when the
Northumberland county court gave
permission to open a liquor establish
ment near the new yard above North
umberland, Point township has been
without a licensed place.
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.

i This move is a strategic one on the
j part of the Forepaugh and Sells man
' agement. They have covered all avail
able space in Suubury and surrouud
iug country, so that there will be no
room for the advance men of Buffalo

bury on May 25th, to placard their an
nouncements.
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.
With the completion of the threo
above-mentioned structures M6ntour
county will bo protty well fixed in the
matter of bridges. So far as detormin r
ed at present no new onus will be need
ed this year.

BLOOM GETTING BUSY.
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

35 YEARS IK
ONE LODGE ROOM
Goodrich Post No. 22, G. A. 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.

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.

HOUSE BOAT LAUNCHED
Druggist O. M. Leniger Tuesday
launched his house boat, which was
hauled up onto tho river bank when
the stream closed with ice, iast fall.
The snug little craft will receive a
thorough renovation, including some
new paint, after which it will go into
commission for the season.
The house boat, which '.is elegantly
appointed and is propelled by a gas
olene engine,"represents a new depar
ture iu summer outings, conceived by
Mr. Leniger. The unalloyed pleasure
derived from the trips up and down
tho river last year Ims convinced the
druggist that ho has the right idea.
The low water during the last half
of the summer interfered somewhat
with the pleasure, it is true. Feariug
similar conditions may prevail this

RESULTJF BURNS
The home of Charles Knorr near the
old fair ground was the scene of a
shocking accident Saturday afternoon
when the olothing of an eighteen
month-old child took; lire and the lit
tle one was so badly burned that death
ensued eight hours later.
Mrs. Knorr had been burning some
rubbish. She thought the tire was ex
tinguished, but it appears tiiat some
live coals remained. The child was
playing near and.it appears, fell upon
the fire. 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. The child lingered
| until about 10 o'clock Saturday night
when death came to its relief.
The child's name was Albert Henry
Knorr. The funeral will be held at 2
: o'clock this afternoon from the family
residence. Interment will be made at
Lazarus church near Grovania.

"The Final Settlement."
I A comedy drama by L. B. Parker,
. "The Final Settlement," will be the
I attraction at the opera house Saturday
afternoon and evening. The play pre
sents a realistic picture of American
social life, is somewhat melo-dramatio
and is one of the big successes of the
t present season. It depicts the rise of a
. brilliant and ambitions young work
l ingman from the ranks of labor to a
r position as president of a big iron
j trust. This sudden elevation bewild
-4 ers his wife, who clings to her old
I fashioned ideals of husband, child and
r home. The man's ruin, and the faith
fulness of the wife in the time of
need, are told in a powerful manner
by the dramatist.

The Opportunity Is Here, Backed by
Danville Testimony.
Don't take our word for it.
Don't, depend on a stranger's state
ment.
: Read Danville endorsement,

izens.
' And decide for yourself.
Here is one case of it:
H. B. Foust, Front and Mill Sts.,
t Danville, Pa., says: 'Tire use of a
few doses of Doan s Kindey Pills con
' vinced me that this remedy is one of
merit. I was bothered off and on for a
j long time by pains in my back, espec
' ially severe wheu I stooped or brought
any strain on the muscles of my loins.
' At night when I lay down I also suff
' ered from backache. Doan's Kidney
E Pills, procured at. Hunt's Drug Store,
I entirely relieved me in a short time
and consequently JI have no hesitation
in recommending them."

Twenty-one girls and three men, all
with their lunches under their arms,
j went up before a magistrate in Phila
( delpliia recently on the charge of dis
orderly conduct. The young women
were being driven to work and their
drivers zigzagged their horses, across
' the trolley tracks, holding back sever
'al cars. The girls jeered at the car
crews. The drivers were fined sl7
' for their conduct and for driviug suolr
a heavy load behind the animals they
used. The girls were reprimanded and
let go.
