I Seven to three. It was the Park boys' initial per- | formance in Susquehanna circles and tney celebrated the event by doleing out. a spanking to their old friend, "Lizzie" Brennan, who occupied the mound for the Danville contingency for the first four and two-thirds in nings. Brennan was given the reins yester day by Manager Hoffman in the hope that he could duplicate his perform ance of several weeks ago, when he pitched Shamokin to defeat at the Edgewood Park grounds. But Shamok in had their batting clothes on yester day, and Jiminie did not have the gilt edged support that sustained him on the former occasion. In the fourth lie tried to stop a live wire from the bat of First Backer Bowers, and got a whack that benched him. Shawkey was on the mound for Sha mokin and held Danville to six scatter ed hits. One of Danville's safe swats came from the bat of Umlauf first man up for Danville in the first innings. It was a two bagger over first, Liven good sacrificed "Buck" to third and he sccred error of Nipple's grounder. Danville got two more in the third. Brennan hit through the infield and Umlauf drew a pass. Livengood sacri ficed them both ahead. Nipple then drove a hot one at Carr, who in his hurr; to cut Brannan off at the plate, lost the ball while two runners talli ed. After that Shamokin tightened up aud left Danville scoreless. The game was rather devoid of feat ures outside of several neat double plays. Bower's four hits in four times at bat took first honors in swatting. The Edgewood Park team will play here this afternoou at 3 o'clock. The score! DANVILLE. AB. R. H. O. A.

A BOND ISSUE FOR GOOD ROADS Probably the greatest question to come before the next Legislature will be that of giving the people of this State the privilege of voting for or against the $50,000,000 bond issue for highway improvement. Of course, the citizens can't vote on it even atter t!i is session passes it, as the Constitu tion provides that two successive Leg islatures must pass any amendment be fore it tinally goes to the people and the bond issue involves a constitution al amendment. If the question could be submitted to the citizens of Penn sylvania today there is no doubt that they would overwhelmingly vote for its adoption. We have seen but one publication that has raised its voice against it and that publication is de manding the referendum,that the peo ple have the light to vote on all ques tions, etc. That is exactly what we are demanding on the bond issue—that the Legislature, indue constitutional form, give the citizens a chance to vote on tliis question. No citizen of the rural disticts of this State will be doing his duty to himself and his family unless hejinsists on an expres sion on this great issue from the meu who waut his vote for the Legislat ure. The bond issue will mean good roads in every section of the State, built and maintained by the State—the main roads. And it will mean that the money your township is now expend ing on them can be used to improve your local roads. This will make easi er hauling, more attractive social life, help your churches and fraternal so cieties, enhance the value of your real estate, make it possible for medical assistance to reach you and your loved ones in time of an emergency, possi bly saving a life that is near and dear to you. In many sections of the State the residents of cities will be attract ed to build summer homes or summer boarders may be profitably entertain ed. Touring automobilists, who as a rule are a liberal and desirable class, will be attracted and the millions now spent annually by these persons in Europe or in New England would bo largely spent in the Keystono State. ' We lack nothing in the grandeur of i our scenery, the health and desirabiliy of our climate and the hospitaliy of our people—only the roads, which make these inaccessible to those out : side of very narrow limits. At a re | cent good roads meeting of the farm ! ers of the Pocono regions the writer inquired whether the audience were farmers or boarding house keepers. The reply was that they were formerly farmers who kept boarders "on the side," but that now they are boarding house keepers who "farmed on the side." There are many sections in this State equally as attractive and some moie so than the Pocono regions. While many advantages would un doubtedly result from good roads, the most important from our viewpoint is that life on the farm would become more attractive anfl the young, ener getic men who are now turning away from it in disgust would remain and pnt new life and new ideas into it, making several bushels of grain grow where one is now produced. No per son can do his or her best under con ditions that are perpetually discourag ing. Social intercouise and pleasure are just as essential as our meals; it is the recess of our school days and we are all grown up school children, after all. The Price of Eloquence. The auctioneer held up a battered fiddle. "What am I offered for this antique violin?" be pathetically inquired. "Look It over. See the blurred finger marks of remorseless time.

Perhaps the vestal virgins marched to its stirring rhythms in the feasts of Lupercalhu Ha, bears abrasion—perhaps a touch of Are. Why, this may have been the very fiddle on which Nero played when Rome burned." "Thirty cents," said a red nosed man In the front row. "It's yours!" cried the auctioneer cheerfully.

London women, stimulated by the Olympic games of last summer, have taken to the foils, and fencing Is now the fashion.

PROGRESS AT THE NEW YARDS Railroad men throughout this sec tion are watching with keen expect ancy the steady development of the $4,000,000 Pennsylvania railroad opera tion at Northumbeiland,for they know that when completed it will be the most modern aud thoroughly equipped of all the mammoth classification yards in the world. This yard will drain these four div isions, converging at Suubury: The Susquehanna division of the Northern Central, the Williamspoit division of the Erie division,the Suubury division of the Erie division, and the Shamok in division of the Northern Central. An idea of the magnitude can be grasped by recollecting that about 4,- 000 freight cars can be daily handled at Sunbury, and the Northumbeiland traffic will be several times that amount. Just a year ago contractors began their toil of leveling farms, cntting down hills and filling valleys at this stratogic railroad point, situated at the confluence of the North and West branches of the Susquehanna river, right opposite Suubury. The yard will cover 700 acres and contain eighty miles of tracks. There will.be ten dis tinct yards with a capacity of 5,500 cars used for tho reception, Jclassifica tion and departure of traffic. Farther equipment of tbe'oompleted yard will include a fifty-two stall roundhouse, a coaling station witli a capacity for elevating 250 tons of coal an hour 1 car repair shops, sand dryer, a freight transfer shed 30 by UOO feet, storage room for 180 cabins and a pow er plant for furnishing the electricity aud air for illumination and powei. The steam power apparatus of the coaling station has a storage capacity of a thousand tons. It elevates at the minimum cost of two cents a ton, and the usual cost is eight and a half cents for the same work. A hundred locomo tives will use over five hundred tons of coal, and, as it is planned to coal that many locomotives daily at North umberland, that six and a half cents saving on each loaded ton will yearly net over $l,lOO which is a mere baga telle in railroad operation but never theless it serves to illnstate the success that has here been achieved in cutting down expenses. The large roundhouse will be 396 feet in diameter and contain seven drop-wheel pits,and it will be furnish ed with several new time and labor saving devioes. Another feature for economic operation is the assurance of an ahvays ample supply of good water obtainable from the West Branch of the Susquehanna river, just at the western boundary of the yard, where lan efficient pumping station is bein# i built, | This large composite yard will iu j elude an eastern and western receiv | ing yard, and eastern and a western classification yard and an eastern aud western departure yard. All cars will be "shuffled" by gravity and thereby solid trains will be made up without the costly locomotive shifting. The "hump" from which the cars will be sent coasting to their respective clas sification, will show a fill of forty feet. When a train arrives at either of the , two receiving yards, the road engines , will be cut off and the train will be j taken in tow by a yard shifter with j its crew of cutters and riders, and the ! string will be pushed over the hump. Each car will be identified as to its destination, and when cut loose will! by gravity traverse the incline. An j operator in the yard tower, learning the destination of the car from its! mark, can,by merely pressing an elec- i trie button, set in motion machinery J which will turu switches and send ttie ; car to tho desired location. Even now 2,000 strangers have flock ed to Northumberland to work on the operation. Of course,the most of them are foreign laborers, but within two years railroad officials give it out that there will be more than 3,000 men steadily employed in the operation of the yard.

True : there weie picnics last month and there will be picnics next month hut the present seems to be the generally ' accepted time for throwing aside all care for at least a day and spending the day in the woods. DeWitt's park grows more popular every year. While there may be parks 'in this section with more buildings given over to amusement, it is safe to say that in the beauties of its natura scenery none can excel the park on the south side. The public realizes this fact and every year mote organiza tions and families are selecting this popular resort for their picnics. The park litis season is under the able management ot W. O. DeWitt, of Bloomsburg. Mr. DeWitt has his sum mer home at the park and is doing his best to see that his patrons are pleas ed. A feature that has added much to the attactiveuess of the park is the in stallation of electric lights, about one hundred and fifty in number in the pavilion, cook room, eating tent and throughout the park. The lights are of ten and sixteen candle power. Then, too, there is the well kept base ball ground, the merry-go-round, the swings and abundant facilities foi taking care of the horses. A list of the picnics dates filled up to the present, follows: June 80—Baptist Sunday School. July 4—General Picnic. July (i—Class No. (!, Trin. Lath. July 7-Pine Street Luth. July B—Ladies' Social.

GREAT PROGRESS BEING MADE East Market street is a busy place these days. The scene of the paving operations, the two squares between Pine and Cedar streets, being a Mecca for all the interested residents of Dan ville who have a moment of leisure. It is most interesting, not to say in structive, to note the progress of the work. At quitting time Tuesday the roadway ou one side was broken up as far as Grove's court. Yesterday a force of men was put at work plow ing up the other side of the street while a crew of a dozen or more with three carts was kept busy shoveling and hauling away the dirt turned over the day before. The dirt is being hauled at. present to the F. Q. Hart nian property, where it will be util ized in tilling up the river bank. Lat er on the dirt will be used at points on the bank above where needed. By three o'clock yesterday the tear ing up of the whole street, with the trolley track excepted, was completed as far as Grove's court and the dirt cleared away ior over half a block. The liist cut of the plow tore up about seven inches to the bottom of the ties of the track. It will be nec- j essary to take off about five incites more before the work of placing the foundation for the paving bricks can go forward. The plow is operated right up to the cobble stones along the pavement. These are removed by pick men.

Up to ten days ago the roll of aviators killed since Sept ember 17, lUOB, stood at ten. On July 3 Charles Wachtei fell to his death at Rheims, Franco. Tuesday the English sportsman, diaries Stewart Rolls, died beneath the wreck age of his aeroplane. Yester day Erbsloeh and his crew of four were dashed to pieces. LEICHLINGEN, Khenish Pru.. July 13.—The dirigible balloon E loeh, recently refitted for a passei service, was destroyed in midair day through the explosion of a bet) tank and her navigator, Oscar 1 loeh, and his crew of four men d ped to their death. .The bodies of the aviators > frightfully mangled. The gondola torn to bits and the motor buried self beneath the surface of the grot The victims were men well kn to all Germans interested in ac feats and Erbsloeh gained an it national reputation, when, in 190"i St. Louis, he won the Internatit Cop in the distance race for hallo His companions were Herr Toell manufacturer, of Barnern; two enj eers, Herr Kranz and Herr Hoe) and Herr Spicke, the motorman. The Erbsloeh was constructed year and had had a dubious car The first time it descended it eras into a clomp of trees and its occ ants narrowly escaped injury. A days;ago, during a trial flight, a 1 poller was broken. The balloon, wb was of the non-rigid type, had been made over preparatory to the ablishment of a passenger service tween Elberfeld and nearby poi Today it was inflated for a llnal by the crew. The ascent was ni near Opladen and during a fog. There were few eye witnesses oi accident. According to these the start well made. The Erbsloeh rose gr< fully pushing its way through the to a height estimated at. several h dred yards. At this altitude a so of evolutions was begun. Suddi there was a loud report and at moment the forepart of the vt crumpled up and the gondola twisted about until it appeared though standing on one end. As gas escaped from the foreward ct partment the prow swayed downwt For a flash the airship fluttered lik wounded bird and then fell swiftl earth. Erbsloeh and his companions w killed the second they struck ground. Their heads were batterei aud every limb was broken. An examination of the wreck showed that the benzine tank I burst, tearing to shreds the rubber velope directly above it. The destr tion of this envelope caused the t to collapse. The stein compartm was still filled with gas when it stri the ground. The death of Erbsloeh and his cj with the destruction of the ballo for which much had been hoped, 1 lowing closely upon the loss of Co Zeppelin's Deutschland has can gloom in aviation circles. The put had scarcely recovered from the she caused by the accidental death Charles Stewart Kolls, the Kngl aviator, when they learned that Er loeh had been added to the long list Germans who had lost their lb while ballooning. The effect was . pressing. Oscar Erbsloeh had made many d ing and successful balloon flights, the St. Louis aerial race, when he v the international cup which had be taken the year before by Lieutena Frank B. Lahm at Paris, he coverei distance of 87<> miles. Starting at Louis, he landed at Asburv Park, J., two miles further from the poi of ascent than his nearest competitc M. Leßlanc, of France, who cat down at Herbertsville, N. J. Erbsl< on that occasion piloted the ballo Pommern. In February, I'JO'J, Erbsloeh made remarkable balloon trip across t' Alps. His balloon,the Berlin, remai ed in the air for thirty hours, reac ing a maximum latitude of about If iKlo feet. An average temperature i about 12 degrees below zero was < perionced.
