A petition objecting to paving 1 on that thoroughfare signed by nine property owners was read by the sec retary. Council was asked in the petition to reconsider and rescind the action recently taken to pave West Market streot with vitrified brick from J the west line of Mill street to the west side of courthouse alley. The follow ing reasons are assigned: "First, vitrified brjck paving is noisy, dusty, reflects the heat and is | unsuitable for a residence street. We do not lose sight of the fact that when j vitrified brick is once used west of i Mill street it will be but a short time before the balance of West Market street will lie paved with it and we do not consider it a proper setting for the ! homes at; 1 shade trees that lino both ! fc.i-.Vs of the street. "Second. As taxpayers we object to j the expense believing that with a ! small outlay macadam can be putin j good and serviceable condition. Wo j object to paying for what we do not want anil will prove an eyesore. Dur- I ing the past ten years taxes on West Market street property have increased | fifty per cent. I "Third. Wo have suffered and are j I still suffering from the loss of the six 1 trees that were cut down to make way I j for the new pavement at the court ; house and we seiiously object to tin? J cutting down of any more trees. At ' the courthouse alley we now have two poles and the stand pipe used to fill the street sprinkler, which sprinkler ; stands before us tSie most of the time > and is another annoyance. "We think our request should be granted, as we are the persona Mo t mtoiv-itfd in the Matter, as we have t> live right ou the sjut. (Sin red) On motion of Mr. lies it %vn order ed that the petition be laid on the On motion of Mr. Curry it was ord all objections it is the judge, i t of council that it is to the best interest of tiie borough that a part of \Yt si Market be improved as proposed. ORDINANCE ADOPTED The ordinance providing for the pav ing of West Market street between Mill street and courthouse alley was approved by council Fri night. It was passed on fir.-r leading, when on mo- j tion the rules were suspended and it was passed on the second and third readings after which it was formally adopted. PETITION FOR SEWER A petition was receivcil asking that the borough sewer be extendi:d ou Church street between Mahoning and ! Market streets. It was signed by Charles W. Robson.J. W.

McCoy, j No definite action was taken.On mo tion the secretary was ordered to take the matter up with the sigucrs. On motion of Mr. Curry it was ord- i or- d that West Marker! street he re paired by filling up the low places 1 with limestone and having the road- j bed rolled. Gn motion of Mr. Everhart it was ordered that the borough sower bo ex- j tended along West Front street, tak- : 1 iug in all the borough sewers and the j private sewers that now do net con nect with the main sewer. It is found i that these small sewers draining into the river are factors in polluting the river bed and causing the offensive odors complained of at times when the river is low. On motion of Mr. Marshall it was ordered that license for the opera house bo fixed at SSO for the season. REV. HAUGHTON RESIGNS Rev.

FIRE DESTROYS VALUABLE DARN I The largo barn belonging to John F. Krum.ou B'ooin road about a mile this side of Grovauia was destroyed by fire Saturday morning along with five calves anil the season's crops. It is said that the building was set on fire I by a tramp. | The barn destroyed was of frame, | seventy-two by thirty-two feet, with ! windbreaker or straw shed, fifty by twenty-seven feet. The big structure was packed full of iiay and grain and | contained a thresher and other mach inery. SET ON FIRE The fire occurred about 8 o'clock. ! Mr. Krum was spreading lime in one ,of the fields. Mrs. Krum was ou her way to town with a load of marketing. A soil, a small boy. was working in the barn. The boy states that lie had just stepped out of the stable door when he saw a man emerge from an other part of the barn and deliberately set the straw stack in the barn yard ; on fire, after which he ran down through tho corn field and crossing a ploughed field beyond disappeared from view. In an instant the straw stack was a mass of flames, which at once com municated with the straw shed and enveloped the whole barn. As soon as the boy could collect himself he called this father,who rushed to tho burning barn. CALVES PERISH All thi> horses were out of the barn at the time with tho exception of a colt which Mr. Krum saved with much difficulty. Two calves were saved.one being so badly burned that it will die. Fiv.- other calve., burn I with -the barn. boon i car on the Danville & Blooms w siev.itln : arou -d the people on BLCKET BRIGADE '. i • ble t ho barn was enveloped in flames. Standing fifteen feet away from the bnrniu n-.nire was :i fine two. billed, forty by fifty feet, built less than a year ago. AUhou;.i the flames were almost licking tiiis bail iiug and tin-re were no facilities lor fighting the lire other than a bucket brigade , yet the crowd with avidity addressed itself to the task of saving the struc ture. How hard tho people assembled worked will be understood when ir is j explained that in a short time the; wells ou the farm were pumped diy and that from that moment ou the ! water had to be carried from a small ' stream two hundred yards away. The building was saved, however, but not j until the weather boards were scorch- 1 ed by the flames. THE LOSS In addition to the seasons' crop of | hay, which was heavy, over one thou- i sand bushels of grain—wheat and oats : —were, burned. Fortunately the wag ons and most of the fanning imple ! meats were in the wagon shed. A j threshing machine,grain drill and cut- j ting box wt rein the barn and were destroyed. The loss is over $3,500. Mr. Krum carries an insurance in the Millville Mutual Fire Insurance Co., but be stated Saturday that his loss is not j uearly covered. THE SUSPECT Tho description that Mr. Krum's lit tle son gives of the man who is alleg ed to have set the barn ou fire corres ponds with the appearance of a hobo who was seen in the neighborhood of Riilgeville tho evening before and who it is alleged was swearing vengeance at the farmers because they would not permit him to sleep in their barns. He appeared at the farms of David Wertman and William Fern,and being refused a night's shelter there, it is thought by some that he may have later crawled into Mr. Krum's barn. The hobo is described as being about five feet, eight inches tall; hair and mustache mixed with grey; left, eye out, and little finger of right hand missing. He wore a derby hat. and collar and necktie. A general search for the man, in which the police of several towns participated, was in stituted Saturday,but at last accounts no clue had been discovered. Stopped Suicide With a Stick. JHazleton, Pa., Sept. 21—Rounded up by Truant Officer Evans, who had been on his trail for somo time, Albert Miller threatened to commit, suicide rather than goto Bchool. He was in the aot of shooting himself when the mother landed on the wayward youth with a stick. DEATH SUMMONS DENNIS OH Dennis Bright died at his home, West Market street,this city.at 11 -lSo'doci Saturday night after a long and pain ful illness. His condition had beer very serious for several weeks. Mr. Bright was born at the home stead farm, Valley township, Marcli 2, 1830. He was the son of Peter and Mary Bright, a representative of one of the oldest families of the State. As a boy he attended the public schools, later taking a course in the J Pittsburg Commercial college, from ' which he graduated in 1850. He latci ! went to Indiana, where in the spring !of 1801, he enlisted under the call oi i the three months' men. It occurred, however, that his regiment was not j ordered out, but was held in Indian apolis. June 14, 1801, when the call for three years' men was issued, he was mustered into the United State - so vice, as first sergeant, Company A, 15th Regiment, Indiana Volunteers. HE WAS WOUNDED At Itich Mountain, West Virginia, he was wounded, a musket ball pass ing through his ankle,thus preventing him from doing active duty for sever al months. On recovering he was ord j ereil to join his command with rank ! of captain to serve on the staff of j Brigadier General George D. Wagner, | having been successively promoted | from fiist sergeant. At the battle of Pittsburg Landing Mr. Bright received injuries to his wounded ankle, which incapacitated him for 'further activo service. He was detailed on garrison and provost duty and after having seived for two years was discharged. Aftr ;* !i- return fiom the army Mi. Bright became assessor oi internal r.!'-«-ntie. 1!"

SINGULAR ACCIDENT Kobert Farnsworth, the dairyman, who was injured Thursday, is aide to take charge ot Ills milk route. On Thursday he was returning home with his milk wagon and stopped at the farm of Levi V. Beyer near Mans dale, lie had just left the wagon when the horses started. Ho turned intending to spring into the wagon, and grasp the lines. What occurred at this point will never le known for a certainty. The last that Mr. Farnsworth remembers is that he was in the act of placing his foot on the step of the milk wag on. The first that was known of the affair at tho Beyer home was when Mrs. Beyer glancing into the road saw Mr. Farnsworth lying on the ground apparently lifeless, while the horses were trotting up the road. The unconscious man was carried into the house and Dr. Paules called by telephone. An automobile was placed at tho physician's service and in a very short time he was at the in jured man's side. Mr. Farnsworth finally regained consciousness. It was found that no bones were broken, and except for a few brnsies lie did not seem to be bad ly injured. As he placed his foot on the step Mr. Farnsworth was probably thrown violently to the ground. Whether he was run over by the wagon or not is not clear. The Esperantists.

SAFE CRACKERS IN DANVILLE The gang of safe-crackers, whicl successively operated at Catawissa, Danville, Bloomsburg and Millville ir a period of less than three months, paid Danville a second visit on Mon day night, when the safe in the office of the Reading Iron company was blown. On August 12th the safe in the D L. & VV. station, this city, was crack ed, the methods adopted on that oc casion being apparently the same a< employed at the Reading Iron Com pany's office. There is little doubt but [ that not only the two robberies iu Danville, but also the three others enumerated above were committed by the same gang. FACTS GUARDED In the case of the last robbery at the Reading Iron works, for some reason, which we will not attempt to explain, tlio whole matter was kept quiet dur ing Tuesday. Yesterday morning, however, the facts of the case began to leak our. THE FACTS When the office of the Reading Iron Works was thrown open for business Tuesday morning a scene of confusion presented itself. A glance sufficed to show that cracksmen had been present during the night and had operated on the safe. Entrance had been effected through a rear window, which had been forced upward breaking the fast ening. "■ Everything of value about the office each evening is securely locked up in a vault, which tho robbers attempted to'hlow open. Nitre-glycerine along with soap in lar f :o quantitii ■ was cm ployed. The cracksmen, it would appear, w< re more familiar with blowing .-v.fi .* than getting into vaults and they did not make a unci >■ r.f it- at the Hea !- by the sequel, however, a little persist f i.. v, itil well dirt etc i labor would have enabled tl e robbers *o have brok en the vault open. But they evidently diil not consider it safe to tarry and after the explosion tlmy beat a hasty retreat. SECURED NO BOOTY So far fts can i • learned nothing in auv of tho a; irtmenta of tli" office building wit- stolen.

A DANGERO j '.ND There is liitle doubt after the (ifti and latest raid that a band of robbers is operating iu this immediate local ity. That Danville is considered a prolific fi.'l i is evidenced by the fact that of the five s.ifo-cracking episode-; two have taken place in Danville. 1 is disquieting to learn, that after these hold and repeated robberies no clu. has been discovered that promises to y ill results. LAST RITES The funeral of Dennis Bright took place yesterday afternoon from the family residence, West Market street. The services were conducted by the Rev. James Wollastou Kirk, pastor of tho Mahoning Presbyterian church. The honorary pall bearers were: Dr. Jno. Sweisfort, William G. Kramer, J. D. Magill, Robert Adams, Robert Cathcart and Jacob C. Miller. The active pall bearers were: John Mar shall, .T. B. McCoy, W. G. Williams, William Vastine, J. O. Peifer and Charles V. Ameiman. Among those from a distance who attended the funeral were: Hiram Bright of Boswell, Ind.; Mrs Abbie Aeheubach and Miss Naomi Achen bach, of Gladbrook.lowa; John Evans of Reading; Mrs. Moore of Hloorns burg: Frank DeLong, Mrs. George McCounell of Washingtonville; Mrs. Summons and Mr. and Mrs. John Clel land.of Scrautou. Interment was made in Odd Fellows' cemetery. License Transferred. License granted to Amandus L, Ileddens at tho Eaglo Hotel, Washing | tonville, last spring, yesterday was transferred to Richard B. Moser, who will henceforth be in chargo of the hostelry. The transfer was made at a short session of court held in the morning with his Honor, Judge Evans and As sociates Blee and Welliver on the bench. ESTABLISHED IN 1855 BOILER OUT OF COMMISSION The annual boiler cleaning is in pro gross at the water works. As a con sequence the large water tnbe boiler is out ot commission and the capacity of the plant is correspondingly reduc < d. It was stated last evening that it would be impossible to keep the town fully lighted. Ono or more circuits I would be shut off, while after a cer tain hour probably before midnight the entire system might have to be shut down. The plant, it was stated, would bo kept in operation until after the moon rose when the electrio light would not be missed a great deal. FORMATION OF SCALE The formation of scale on the inside of boilers is a great annoyance wher ever 11 so water of the North Hrancli is useii tor making steam. Fortunately the borough at present is using a boiler compound," which proves vary efficacious in preventing incrusta tion. On opening the tubes yesterday less scale was found than probably ever before in the history of the plant. Not only this, but what existed was very easily removed. Formerly it was neces sary to employ a "cutter," but at pre sent a current of water injected from a hose suffices to dislodge and carry off the scale. Under any conditions the cleaning of the water-tube boiler constitutes a slow and tiresome job. luall there are 1-0 tubes, which have to bo opened at each end. The caps as well as the tubes have to bo cleaned—polished as smooth as glass—so that when replac ed the joints will be perfectly tight.

All of tiie members of the ttaiu are still in Danville. This morning Masser Mack' it will leave to cuter Conway Hall, at Carlisle, to take a course pre paratory for Dickinson college. It is likely that t!:e team will play at least one game hero independently before they disband. If the game is played it will likely lie on Saturday and will bo a benefit for the players. INFANTILE PARALYSIS Four cases of infantile paralysis, the dread disease that is causing consider able agitation among the doctors all over the country, have recently been reported to Dr. S. B. Arment, State health registrar for .Columbia county. ? One of the cases is from Catawissa, the child of Mr. aud Mrs. Reuben Ranch, having been stricken with the disease, a few days ago; one is from Cleveland township, Elizabeth, the six-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Keller, being afflicted last Sunday, and there are two cases from Locust township, Emily, daughter of Henry Craig, and Willard, a small child of Wilson Craig, having been ill for sevoal months and their condition shows little signs of improvement. The disease,which affects the spinal cord, leavos the child helpless, aud as yet the doctors have found no cure for it. Cattle Dealer Fell Dead. Irvin Bowen an aged cattla dealer with no home in particular, stopped at the Teats' homestead iu Faxinos at noon today and got something to eat. He said that he did not feel well and went out in tho barn to lie down. He came back and sat down on the porch. Tfie family inside heard a thud and looked out only to see the old man dead. The cause was heart disease.
