POLISH GIANTS WEREJERY EASY "Lefty" Young, the portsiile mem ber of Manager Hoffman's pitching staff disproved on Saturday the theory that athletes can not "come hack" after a period of inactivity. Young was the free agent who was largely responsible for the defeat of the Mt. Oarmel Polish Giants by the one-sided score of 12 to 4. The large share of the credit which goes to Young lies in his ability to hold the Polelanders down to 7 scattered hits and prevent ing any serious inroads on the score sheet, and the rest of the share of the credit belongs to the bats of sundry Danville hitters who bunched 11 swats on the two visiting pitchers with un pronouncable names. The game at the start off bid fair to be a close and exciting contest. It wound out its way in this manner un til the last half of the fourth when Danville landed for eight runs. After that the visitors failed to stir up any anxiety. The Giants played a really good j fielding game, and Danville's heavy scoring was due to as pretty a series of hefty swats as lias ever been seen on the local field. When Danville came in for her end of the fourth the score stood 2 to 1 in favor of the Giants. The locals just couldn't stand for that lead and land- | ed on Wozniski, who happened to be i in the box for the Giants at that time, j with a vengeance. Danville batted j around and three over in this session —Hagy gathered in two two-baggers, Kelly landed for a three-bagger, Um laut' hammered for two bags and Nip- ! pie and Veith drew singles; these with 1 two bases on balls and an error,allow- ! ed eight Danville runners to circle the bases. It was when the fun was at its height in this innings that Wozniski was replaced in the box by Chornoski. He did some better than his predeces sor, but was made to stand for three j runs in the sixth. The Giants' did their heaviest ex- j edition in the fourth, Young's one bad ! innings. Two wild pitches, a base on j balls and Umlaut's error, allowed the j visitors to count twice without a hit. j The score: DANVILLE. AB. K. H. O. A. E. !

THE QUARANTINI E A number of people aio asking what has become of the quarantine on dogs, which it was decided to place in this borough at a special meeting of the ! council held on the morniug of the Fourth of July. It will be remembered that council at that meeting asked the State Live- ' stock Sanitary board at Harrisburg to establish the quarantine, as it is em powered by law to do. The hoard re plied that funds for that purpose had been exhausted and that it would est ablish the quarantine, if the borough would agree to pay all the expenses of the quarantine, which would include* printing of notices in two county newspapers, posting notices, etc. The reply of the board was received Tuesday, and council will likely act upon the matter at its next meeting. A Millionire Hobo Arrested. J. Eads Howe, the "millionire hobo," of St. Louis, recently was ar -1 rested at Philadelphia for the second | time within a week. He has been making strenuous efforts to organize the unemployed of that city and vi cinity and affairs resembled a small riot when he was taken in custody. About 2,000 men and boys surrounded him and asked him for a speech. He started to give it and was placed un der arrest. The crowd protested and the officers had no little difficulty in taking their prisoner away. NEW BOOKS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS | A short session of the school board | was held Monday eve, the following members being present: Sechler, Sid ler, Swarts, Burns, Pursel, Fischer, Cole, Heiss and Orth. The treasurer's report showing a balance of $401.12 on hand was read and 011 motion accepted. The following bids for painting in various buildings were received. E. C. Yeager, work only, $210; by day,s2.so; for work and material $3Bl. E. A. Adams, work and material, $303.05. On motion the work was awarded to , Mr. Adams as the lowest bidder. ■ On motion of Mr. Heiss the janitor in 4th ward was instructed to concrete the coal cellar. On motion of Mr. Fischer the fuel gas meter in the Third ward building was ordered removed. On motion of Mr. Cole the text book committee was instructed to procure all the text books needed for the com- | ing year. On motion of Mr. Fischer the secre tary was instructed to advertise for bids for cleaning the various school buildings. A joint meeting of directors and teachers was held before the regular meeting of the school board at which the following new books were adopt ed : 140 "How the People Rule," bv Hoxie, for the Bth grade, to take the place of"The Pennsylvania Citizen." ; 50 Foreman's "Essentials in Civil Government, Pa. edition,"for Ist year high school to take place of "Town send's Civil Government." 20 Ball's German Grammar for Juni or class in high school to take the place of Collar's "Shorter Eisenbaoh."

Francis Hartman 221.110 S9OO FOR ICE CREAM If one were asked to give an esti- j mate of the total amount of ice cream ! consumed in Danville 011 a given day ! probably one hundred gallons, repre- s senting an expenditure of about two '< hundred dollars would seem a fair j figure. Even that amount considered iu a lump sum as expended for a single ! delicacy would seem somewhat large, i But what if you were told that on Sat- ! urday last,a warm day to be sure, but not an exception as an ice cream busi- 1 noss producer by any means, the people 1 of this city got away with four hun dred and fifty gallons'/ These are the | exact figures secured from the various ice cream dispensaries of the town. Think of it,gentle reader. Four hun dred and fifty gallons, nearly eighteen hundred quarts. Each quart will pro- j duce five ten cent plates or a total of 1 nine thousand. Nine thousand plates | at ten cents,gives a result of nine hun dred dollars spent in twenty-four! hours for ice cream. The census report will likely give ! Danville a population of at least nine i thousand. Therefore enough oreain I was consumed on Saturday to provide ! every man, woman and child with a ten cent dieh. As we stated above Saturday was not a record breaker. Every Saturday during the warm weather the amount is about the same. It is safe to say that during one of the hot summer months about, four thousand dollars are spent for ice cream. AN IMPROVEMENT The borough has placed an open • grate 011 Kline street at the south i eastern corner of the park, leading to the surface sewer, which will carry off the surface water fron»Upper Mul- 1 berry street. The improvement is a much needed one. Heretofore the water would lay for days in front of the residences 011 Kline the place a mud hole. A force of men are at work laying a cobble stone gutter from the sewer opening almost to Centre street. This will take up the surface water and ef fectually carry it off. DUPLICATE WHIST MATCH ■ A duplicate whist match was played Tuesday evening at the Danville Whist i club between a four man team from ! Muncy and four members of the local club, Danville winning by 11 points, with a total score at 27 to 16. The play and tallying was as fol lows : Clapp and Reeder 4, Diehl and Welsh 9; Worthington and Dykins 4, Gqsli and Jennings 6. On the replay, Worthington and Dykins 4, Diehl and Welsh 8; Clapp and Reeder 4, Gosh and Jennings 4. DANVILLE, PA., THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1010 WAY CLEARED ranPAVING A special meeting of the borongli | council was held Monday eve at which I a number of matters were acted upon, which will clear the way for Contract ! or Lyon to proceed with the pavingjof the section of East Market street, be | tween Pine street and Cooks court. Steps were also taken at Monday eve's • meeting which will likely result in the macadam izat ion of East Market street, between Foust street and the borough line, with State aid. President. Cleaver explained that the meeting was called primarily to con sider the feasibility of laying a pipe on Market street from a point where the Reading switch crosses the street at the Structural Tubing works down Cook's court to the canal to carry off the surface water. It was explained that according to a statement of the borougli engineer the laying of the pipe was an absolute necessity. The plan would require (>OO feet of 34 inch pipe, 50 feet of 15 inch pipe and 60 feet of 18 inch pipe, and would cost about six hundred dollars. On motion of Mr. Everhart, second ed by Mr. Connolley, it was decided that the pipe be laid according to the advice of the borough engineer. On motion of Mr. Curry a water 1 gate was ordered placed along the pro posed line of paving at Church and ; Market streets and also to replace all 1 water plugs necessary. The body next considered the qnes- ! tiou of macadamizing East Market street between Foust street and the | borough line. If was explained that Engineer Clay figures the cost to the borough to be about five hundred dol lars. On motion of Mr. Curry it was ord- ! ered that the grades as given by the ! borougli engineer ho adopted. On motion it was decided that the : proper officials negotiate with the ! State in the matter of macadamizing this section of the street. It was suggested that property own- j ets between Pino street and Cooks | court, who desire to renew their wat- | er service or make connection do so before the paving is laid. On motion the old well known as Johnson's well on East Market street ' was declared a nuisance ami ordered j filled up. The following members were pres- j eut: Cleaver, Marshall, Curry, Von j Blolin, Connolley, Price, Everhart. A PECULIAR INJURY Mrs. Charles Anderson, Church I street, is the victim of a peculiar j though most painful injury. She is recovering from an attack of I whooping cough and on Monday even- ! iug was sitting in a chair on the porch ; at her home, conversing with several j neighbors when suddenly she was seiz- I ed with one of the fits of coughing, i The cough,which is much more severe in adults than in children, literally jerked Mrs. Anderson from the chair ou which she was sitting. At the same time she heard a loud snap and felt a sharp pain in her back. She was taken into the house and Dr. G. A. Stock summoned. An examination showed that a rib had been torn from the back bone by the terrific force of the cough. Yesterday morning Mrs. Anderson was enabled for the first time since her injury to recline. Nothing can be done except to wait for the part to knit. EXTENSIVE REMODELING The residences on East Mahoning street purchased from the William Mowrer estate will undergo extensive remodeling. Men are already at work on the double house, the property of Mrs. Margaret Mowrer, which has been vacated. Both this property and the house next to it, now occupied by Mrs. William Keener, will tie reroofed, re modeled within and painted within and without. Large porches extending the whole length of the front will be built, adding much to the appearance of the block. Mr. anil Mrs. Charles Robson will start the remodeling of their stone house in a short time. Yesterday Scores. FOUR-COUNTY LEAGUE. Danville, 3; Sharuokin, 7. Bloomsbnrg, 0>; Sunbury, 4.

PAVING IS iW UP WAV The much discussed, eagerly await ed paving on East Market street is at last under way,and with a vengeance. ] Contractor Lyon is on the job every minute and under his able direction the work is moving rapidly. Tuesday morning a force of men were at work tearing up the crossings at Church and Pine streets. About one o'clock the men with a steam roller and plow started tearing up the street on the north side of the trolley track. It was child's play to the men, exper ienced as they are in this line, and by four o'clock the roadway from curb to track was broken from Pine street to a point half way between Church and Cedar streets, one and one-half blocks. The plow makes a cut of about six inches making two cuts necessary for the excavation of twelve inches. Following the plow came two teams with their crews busily engaged in carrying away the stones turned up by the plow. Iu all about a dozen men were employed. The work will now move along rapidly. No difficulty was experienc ed in operating the plow, the forma tion of the street in the two squares worked, being for the most part line stone. It is expected, however, that the coarser stone will be met with above. It. will be necessary, contractor Lyon, states, to dig down about a foot. There will be six inches of crush ed stone and dirt and two inches of sand placed as a foundation for the four inches of brick. For the crushed stone Mr. Lyon will utilize the stones j forming the street,using a stone crush er of his own for the purpose. The street will be about four feet narrower than at present, the curb ex- , tending out two feet on each side. This necessitates the moving back of a number of the poles, the property of the borough anil Standard Electric Light Co. Borough Electrician Smith was busy Tuesday taking care of the borough poles. that will have to be moved are hut four or five in number and are all between Pine and Church streets. Above Church ' street, every pole is back on a line ' witli the curb. It will not be necessary to discon- i tinue the trolley service, although at ■ times the cars may be compelled to 1 move somewhat slowly. TO SAVE HIS LIFE An appeal to the supreme court for a new trial for Joe Moleski, who is under sentence of murder in the North umberland county jail at Sunbury, was made yesterday morning by his counsel, Judge Walters and Attorney J John, of Mt. Carmel. As the supreme court will not meet until October, the governor can hard ly act on the sentence towards setting the date for the execution until after the court has met and rendered its de- \ cision. The twenty-seven reasons for a new trial which were presented to the low- i er court by Moleski's attorneys form j the basis of the appeal. These reasons were deemed insufficient by Judge j Savidge in his consideration of the 1 case. The fight for tne prisoner's life is made moio'at the desire of his mother than of the condemned man. He seem ed indifferent, in talking with his counsel wnetner he got a new trial or not. He expressed his innocence of the crime, but said that he knew the cir cumstances were against him. SCARLET FOR GOVERNOR .Tames Scarlet, the prominent lawyer of this city, was mentioned yesterday morning in the Philadelphia Record as being of the men who could help carry an independent ticket to victory iu tliis State next fall. The Record says: FIT MEN AT THE FRONT. Supposing the coming convention of independents should name for the gov reuorship William U. Hcnsel, or Wayne MacVeagh, or Samuel Dick son, or James Scarlet, with men of like stamp for the other elective State offices to be filled in November: What chance wouldj'thejjmachine have in appealing to the voters of Pennsylvania against such a revolu tionary showing of fitness, character and competency? ELKS TO TAKECHARGE At a special meeting of Danville lodge. No. 754, B. P. O. Elks, held last evening it was unanimously decid ed that the order undertake the man agement of the conoert which the Orpheus Glee club will give for the benefit of the Benton fire sufferers. A committoe of three will be ap pointed to act in conjunction with the committee of the glee olub. The names of the committeemen will be made known at a meeting of Danville lodge this evening. WILL LECTURE THROUGHOUT STATE Charles M. Barnitz, the well known authority on poultry culture.a resident of the south side, has been tendered and has accepted a position as one of the corps of State lecturers under the direction of the State department of agriculture. The offer was made in a commuuic tion received by Mr. Barnitz from Hon. C. H. Martin, who has in charge the farmers' institutes, over one hun dred in number, throughout the coun ties of the State. Mr. Barnitz will lecture on ten sub jects, all treating on the different phases of poultry husbandry. He will be occupied the greater part of the winter. The appointment comes as another acknowledgement of Mr. Barnitz' ex pertness in poultry culture and of the thoroughness of his writings on the subject. He is at present doing speoi al writing for various poultry journals throughout this country and England, besides his regular position as editor and artist of the poultry feature for the American Press association. All of Mr. Barnitz' article are il lustrated by himself, either by camera or India ink drawings. He is possibly the only poultry artist iu the State. He inherited his ability with the brush and crayon from his father. Rev. A. M. Barnitz, whose specialty was the painting of fiuit. He had charge of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal church, this city, iu 1864. Several of his works are yet to be found among the homes of Danville. ORPVANGE PROSPEROUS One hundred delegates from twenty four counties, representing 40,000 members of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, interested in the Cen tral Pennsylvania Odd Fellows' Orp hanage at Weigh Scales, held their an nual meeting at the orphanage Tues day and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, E.

Five lodges have joined the corpor ation since January, including Pil grim Encampment, with seventy-four members, of Northumberland. The cost of maintenance of the home -for the last six months was |.">,957.13, and $704.91 was paid for maintenance and insurance. The executive committee is making plans for the erection of a 112 10,000 school building. HIS ACCOMPLICE. The Obliging Old Lady Who Helped the Struggling Boy. When a kind old lady In walking »long a north side residence street be held a small boy struggling vainly to reach something between the gratings of a tall iron fence surrounding a pa latial residence she paused to watch his operations. The object of his quest she discovered to bo a handsome me chanical toy, an automobile that would run when wound up. Tho boy had a stick with which 110 was trying to pull tho machine toward him, but as he could scarcely reach it tho struggle was well nigh hopeless. "Let mo try it," said the old lady. "My arm Is longer than yours." "All right," replied tho youngster, re linquishing the stick. Getting down 011 her knees, the old lady, by dint of much stretching and careful manipulation, gradually work ed the machine toward tho feuce and at last had the satisfaction of seeing the little boy grasp it with eager lin gers. "Now," she said, "you must bo more careful and not let it get away from you again." "Gee," said tho boy, "it never got away from me, an' It ain't goiu' to neither." "Wh-wh-wliy," faltered the old lady, with tho dawning of a horrible sus picion, "isn't it yours?" "You bet it's mine now," said the kid, and away 110 scampered, leaving tho good old lady alone with her con science.—Atlanta Constitution. Conceited.

ESTABLISHED IN 1855 THE PARK II PLACE OF BEAUTY Memorial park at this season of the year is possihlj' the coolest and certain ly the most attractive spot in town. At no time (hiring the day are the benches deserted. There are always a number of men, women and children scattered about the park enjoying the cool breezes and gazing admiringly on the green sward dotted here and there with the bright colored beds of delic ate flowers, fit surroundings for the magnificent tribute to the soldier and sailor dead. Much of the credit for the well kept appearance of the park is due to Care taker Hornberger. It is not so much a matter of work as a matter of pride to Mr. Hornberger to see that the park is kept in a condition fit, at any time, to bring an exclamation of admiration from the beholder. It is Mr. Hornberger's boast that, notwithstanding the hot dry spell, which has played havoc with many lawns about town, not a burned por tion of grass may be seen in the park. This means lots of sprinkling and cut ting and all this in addition to his care of the flowers. There are ten beds of flowers made up for the most part of corn lilies,scar let sage, colea, and geianiums. The flowers weie contributed by the fol lowing: X. P. LeDuc, ladies of Asli street, ladies of Market street, ladies of Upper Mulberry street, two beds, Amesbury and liockafeller families, Kessler anil Powers families, Presby terian church, the Reading railroad company and the borough. The beds present a very attractive appearance. Several of the smaller circular beds are composed of geraniums alone. The large triangular and rectangular beds, however, have a center of corn lilies with a double border of scarlet sage and cclae. The flowers, with the exception of tho scarlet sage and some of the corn lilies are already in bloom. In about three days every flower will be in bloom. The borough lias helped the appear ance of the park by having planted a border of plants along the whole north ern and eastern ends as well as a cresc ent shaped bed. The caretaker states thatfhe has lit tle trouble with trespassers. Earlier in the summer when the additional benches were first placed along the paths, the small boys created more or loss trouble but now the novelty has worn off and the benches are used as they were intended. At 110 time has it been necessary to make an arrest. PERSONALS J.
