IRE FLOWERS FDR THE PARK A regular meeting of council was | held Friday eve with President Cleav er in the chair. Among the members ! present were: Cleaver, Price, Ever- j hart, Marshall, Curry, Heim, Von j Blohn and Counolley. Borough Electrician Newton Smith j presenteil the report of the electric j light plant for June, which showed! that the total cost of operation was | $297.95. Fifty-nine and a half tons of j coal at $2.38 per ton, were consumed. , The plant was in operation 204 hours. Mr. Marshall reported that the em ployes of the waterworks are desirous of learning whether the borough in- j tends granting them a vacation this | year as was done last year. On motion the matter was referred to the com mittee on water. On motion of Mr. Evcrhart it was ordered that red,white and blue lights be placed around the soldiers' monu- i ment in Memorial Park remain in position permanently. Mr. Marshall, chairman of the com- j mittee on Public Improvements,recom mended that a third coat of paint be j put on city hall. Mr. Yeager, who ; holds the contract for the painting— j two coats—being called upon express- j ed himself in favor of a third coat and said it would cost some fifty dollars additional for three sides of the build ing or fifteen dollars for one—the i southern side. On motion it was decid- j ed not to apply additional paint on city hall. On motion it was ordered that flow ers to the value of four dollars be ! placed in one of the beds of the park that yet remains to be planted. An important step was taken in the procedure relating to East Market i street paving. The secretary reported that W. H. Lyon, to whom the con tract for paving had been awarded, had forwarded his bond, on which were the names of well-known busi- ! ness men of Sunbury. A communica tion from Borough Solicitor Gearhart was read, in which he insisted that Mr. Lyon furnish a "surety" bond and advised that the bond he offered be refused, as one that does not meet the demands of the situation. Mr. Lyon's bond is for ten thousand dollars and relieves the borough of all responsibility for the trolley com pany's share of the paving. In addi tion Mr. Lyon agrees to sign all the stipulations insisted upon by the bor ough, with the exception of the one which requires him to procure a bond of the Danville & Sunbury trolley com pany. The matter was duly discussed by council when it was decided that Mr. Lyon's bond be accepted provided that the rating of the bondsmen be found I satisfactory.

Like the negro pugilist, Jack Johnson, Danville was compelled to display the ; limit of endurance and skill in noith- j er contest—both were easy victories, j The morning game at Nescopeck was won by a score of 7 to 2, Danville scor- I ing the runs necessary to win in the j first three innings. The afternoon was j a slaughter with the points at 18 to 5. i The rest of the games in the league j disclosed no particular surprises ex- j cept Bloomsbnrg's unlooked for fall before Benton in the morning game by : a score of 9to 7. The afternoon game Bloomsburg won. Berwick with a thousand rooters and the Berwick band entrained on a special and went j to Shickshiuny for the morning bout and won it handily by a score of 7 to 0. The afternoon game also went Ber wick's way by a score of 9to 5. This brace of wins boosted Berwick into I second place and dropped Shickshiuny through Nanticoke into fourth. Nauticoke played two games with j Allien, winning both by 7 to 4 ( a. m.) and 3 to 1 (p. in.) scores. MORNING GAME. In the morning game the opposing pitchers were Ainsworth and Madera. The Nescopeck batters never had a look-in on the Danville boy's delivery. , Eleven fanned futilely and Jtive scat tered hits were their limit; only two of these figuring in the run-getting—a home run by Haller in the third and a single by Lavelle which was converted into a run after an error by Hagv. Hallei's wildness at critical stages, Nescopeck's errors when rnns were j itching to score and six Danville bin goes account for the seven local tal- 1 lies, but two of which were earned. Two home runs marked the game— j Nipple's over the left field fence and ( Haller's drive over the center pal- ! lisade. Danville wound up the game in the ninth by pulling off a neat double play.

There was a largo crowd 1 present and everybody seemed to have i a good time at Nescopeck's expense. | Good base ball brought gasps of ad j miration at very infrequent intervals, j while the laughter at Nescopeck's ! water colored efforts was almost in- I cessant. Sweeney essayed the role of slab | artist for the first two innings; after j that Haller assumed the mantle. Both j were pnmmeled vigorously, but not | withstanding the four hits that were I rung up off the delivery of tho former 'and the 11 safe swats that the latter allowed,the two visiting twirlers were far more to be pitied than censured. Tho playing of Nescopeck would have taken the heart out of any pitcher who ever faced a batter and some of their errors would have struck shame to a grammar school team.

Since tho passage of tho new postal saving bank law bankers and post masters throughout the country have been slow to demonstrate interest in it. So far only fifty banks have made application for designation as deposit ories of postal funds aud only fifty i postmasters have asked that they bo authorized to accept postal savings. The indications are that the board ; of trustees,consisting of the Postmast j er General, the Attorney General and tho Secretary of tho Treasury, will bo unable to designate the postoffices that aie to receive postal savings for many j mouths to come. Scaffolding Removed. The proposition to apply a third ' coat of paint to city hall has been ab andoned and yesterday tho scaffolding ' was removed from tho southern side of the building,where two coats of paint I have been applied, and erected at the j western end where tho painters will next begin work. Mrs. Robert Stack pole, of Now York City,is spending several days with her brother, Charles Hauver, Lower Mul berry street. Mrs. Frances B. Whitman and daugh ter Anna Mary, have returned to Read ing after a visit with the former's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Flick, Lower Mulberry street. ' QUARANTINE AGAINST DOGS A special meeting of council was held at ten o'clock a. m., Monday, at which it was decided to request the State to establish a quarantine against dogs, the borough agreeing to enforce the rules of the quarantine. Mr. Cleaver occupied the chair. Other members present were: Fin uigan, Everhart, lies, Connolley, Von Blohn, Marshall, Price, Heim and Dietz. Chief Burgess Amesbury was also present. President Cleaver explained the ob ject of the meeting, which was to con sider the question of establishing a quarantine against dogs. He called at tention to the recent outbreak of hy drophobia, in which three dogs have gone mad in a comparatively short period of time. Tho conditions in his opinion fully warrant establishing a quarantine against dogs. The State Livestock Sanitary Board, he said, would establish and maintain the quarantine,furnishing all printed mat ter, but it would be necessary for the borough authorities to agree to strict ly enforce all the rules of said quaran tine. On motion of Mr. lies it was order ed that the State Livestock Sanitary Board be requested to establish a quar antine against dogs. On motion of Mr. Heim it was ord ered that the police be instructed to shoot all dogs running at large (aftor the quarantine is established) that are not properly muzzled. On motion of Mr. Heim it was also ordered that only wire muzles are to be used and that these are to be inspected by the police. The same guns that were em ployed during the quarantine against dogs two years ago are to be used anil the ammunition is to be procured at the same place. The matter has already been taken up with the State Livestock Sanitary Board, which will act immediately. The notices will not arrive and be posted until about Thursday. These will explain just when the quarantine against dogs shall begin, its duiation, the rules to be obeyed, penalties im posed, &c. DANVILLE BEAT BERWICK Danville and Berwick Susquehanna league teams met in an exhibition game at Berwick yesterday afternoon, the locals winning by a score of 7 to 3.

Greeks Plan Re-erection of Glories of Acropolis. All the world will be interested to know that an attempt is being made to restore the Parthenon and the other buildings upon the Acropolis at Ath ens, which iu many respects is tho most Important task of the kind ever attempted. It is not Intended to rebuild or re decorate this most perfect and beau tiful of all buildings ever erected by human hands to the condition In which It stood when it was destroyed by Venetian artillerymen in IGB7, but an effort is being made to identify and replace in their original positions such fragments of tho walls and pillars and columns as are strewn over the ground and wherever necessary to support I them by new material. HOW THE FOURTH WAS OBSERVED Independence day was fittingly cele brated in Danville. The weather was simply ideal. A large number of per sons found recreation at DeWift's park. Others attended the games of base ball or found amusement in other ways. In the early evening the ex ercises in Memorial park attracted a largo concourse of people and later the ; fireworks on the river became the cen ter of attraction. The explosion of fire crackers and j similar noises produced as is usual on the Fourth of July, which began im mediately after midnight Monday morning and continued until midnight following, gave evidence that fire works are by no means under the ban in Danville. However, there were no casualties in the least serious to mar the plea sure and the day will be remembered as one of the most enjoyable that was I ever celebrated in Danville. The exericses rendered in the park and the fireworks on the river were the crowning features of the day. The address by Mr. Scarlet, deliver ed at 7 :15 o'clock was a gem. It was thoroughly characteristic of the speak er, being a model of eloquence and abounding in beautiful sentiment in spired by the occasion. The Orpheus Glee Club rendered a difficult program, holding the people for about an hour. Both the address and the music were pimply inspiring and the effect of neither was lost on the big assemblage, which showed its appreciation by repeated fapplause. Both Mr. Scarlet and the club of sing ers deserve the thanks of the commun ity for their efforts to aid in a fitting observance of the Fourth of July. The display of fireworks was prob ably the grandest ever seen in Dan ville and occupied over an hour. Prac tically the whole town turned out to witness the display, occupying the bridge and the bank on each side of the river. RURAL DELIVERY The rural delivery service of the United States means the distribution of nearly 8,000,000,000 letters and par cels annually along the highways and byways of every state and territory from Maine to Alaska. A force of 41,- 000 carriers daily go over the routes assigned to them. Bringing the mail to the farmer now costs the nation $8(i,000,000 a year in salaries for the carriers, expense of examining new routes, maintaining postoflices, pay ments of inspectors, special agents, clerks and chiefs of bureaus. To se cure information to make changes in routes and carriers where deemed necessary, to establish new routes and to record and tabulate statistics and data for the postmaster general, as well as for the public, a force of only one hundred ami ten persons is requir ed in Washington in spite of office work and correspondence that must be finished daily. AT MONTOUR HOUSE j Work has bcsP.!! in iiie basement at ; the Montour house in carrying out the 1 extensive system of improvements i contemplated. The floor will be re moved and the bottom excavated to the depth of a couple of feet and a modern floor of concrete laid. Along with the improvements in the basement a new and ornamental stairway will bo installed near the center of the building. The bar has been removed to the large apartment 011 the first floor, formerly used as a reading room, where it will remain until the improvements in the cellar are completed. Yesterday Scores.

ESTABLISHED IN 1855 ANALYSIS OF - RIVER WATER There has been received at er works a report of the mineral analy sis of the water taken from the North Branch at this place by the Dearborn Drug and Chemical company of Chi cago, which firm has undertaken to produce a compound that will prevent incrustation in the boilers. The water in the North Branch is considered very hard and the deposit of lime, sediment, etc., on the inside of the boilers has alwaysjproven a great annoyance to manufacturers. No boiler compound has as yet been pro duced that eliminates the scale pre cisely as desired. The Dearborn Drug and Chemical company, however, be lieves that it can accomplish what others have failed to do. It first analyzed a sample of the water taken from the river here to de termine just what its constituents are and then set itself about to manufact ure a compound that will meet all the demands. The result of the Chicago firm's experiments will be awaited with no little interest,not only by the borough but also by the manufactur ing concerns of Danville. Of late we have had reports of many analyses of river water made to deter mine to what extent it is polluted with organic matter and the allusions to bacteria and bacilli coli have be como quite trite. In the result of the mineral analysis we have a refreshing contrast, as altogether another class of constituents is sought. The first impression may be that our river wat er is loaded down with mineral and organic matter to nearly the limit and that in a gallon of 231 cubic inch es in one form or another we are get ting about all that is coming to us. However, it is safe to assume that the water here is little or no worse than at a hundred other places. Following is the analysis made by the Dearborn Drug and Chemical com pany : Grains per gallon, silica, .070; ox ides of Iron and Aluminum, .035; carbonate of lime, .U27; sulphate of lime, 2.129; carbonate of magnesia, trace; chloride of magnesia, .flOSf; sod ium and potassium sulphates, trace; sodium and potassium chlorides, trace; loss, etc., .030. Total soluble mineral solids, 3.8r>4 ;suspended matter 4.088; organic matter, trace; total soluble incrusting solids, 3.824; total soluble nonincrusting solids, .030. "Contains a little over 8 3 ,{ grains of mineral matter, a trace of organic matter in solution ; aula little over 4 grains of solid matter in suspension , per U. S. gallon.of cubic inches." The river is fallingjiapidly and the j tops of the "wells" are exposed above i the surface. As the streamjfalls near low water mark not only the propor tion of mineral matter but also the \ proportion of micro-organisms increas es. ; At the present time the water in the vicinity of the wells is by no means inviting in appearance. It would seem to be a fitting time for j the borough to obtain an analysis of 1 the river water with special reference Ito bacteria and similar organisms. It. | would be a great relief tC poisons who j are obliged to use river water for all purposes if assured at this season of the year that they are not exposing | themselves to danger of typhoid fever 1 or other equally dreaded diseases.
