his chances for recovery were mater

John Yocob, Polander, residing
with Michael Cabolic, Of Twenty-sccond
street. was taken violently i'll and
fears were entertained by his friends
for his recovery. The boarding house
keeper feared the man would die and
turned him out of doors to battle with
his malady as best he could. a child
was buried from the house YESTERDAY
afternoon and this fact was consid-
cred an i'll omen.
The unfortunate victim was left to
die, and being in a helpless condition,
lay in the heat Of the sun for some
time. James Callahan, who keeps q
hotel nearby cndeavored to persuade
the boarding boss to take the man in
and secure physician, but Cabolie
was Obduratc and refused to have
anything to do with Yocob, claiming
that he was already indebted to him
for board ana he did not want to be
held responsible for the funeral ex-

Williams, who issued u permit for the

BRANCH OF PENNSYLVANIA.
Corps of Civil Engineers Are Now at
Work Making Surveys.

The civil engineer corps Of the Penn
sylvania railroad began work this week
on an important new branch of the
Pennsylvania railroad. The corps con-
sists of seven members, under c. Il.
Beam as chief.
The survey began on the S. II. q w.
branch of the Pennsylvania railroad at
the ten-mile post, which is just below
the brick works at the lower end OF
Riverside, above Sunbury where the
proposed branch will intersect with the
main line. From this point a line was
run across the river for a bridge to
carry the track over the Pennsylvania
canal, the tow-path of which will be
utilized as a roadbed from Danville to
Berwick.
The construction of branch of the
Pennsylvania railroad on the other side
of the river, which would give Dan
willie proper a station, has formed the
subject of considerable talk for sew
eral years past The actual work Of
surveying now, however, would indi.
cate that such Il project is receiving
the serious consideration Of the COM
pany.

for ascending to the second floor OF a
building, and no higher. Some of the
firemen refuse to go any higher on
them. This was evidenced at Thurs
day afternoons fire at DR., Wentz's
residence on Madison avenue, when
the hremen refused to use the hooks
ladder to go from the roof of the
veranda to the roof of the main build
ing, a height of only twenty-five feet.
The aerial ladder cannot be used at
all, as it sways so badly that it would
take a circus acrobat to keep his
equilibrium on it. Not only this, but
there is every danger of 1t swapping
off, the wood being so old and dry.

NEW HOOK AND LADDER TRUC1
There Is Urgent Need for the Pur-
chase of One by CITY.

The need of a new hook and ladder
truck for the use of the fire department
is apparent to each one of the forty
two councilmen and was none too
plainly emphasized by Mayor Moir IN
his communication to the common
council, read on Thursday night.
The only difficulty which stands in
the way of the purchase of this new
piece of apparatus is the fact that
there is no available place to take
the necessary $4,000 from, The judg-
ments and incidentals appropriation
that general grab bag for everything
but judgments and lncidentals, has
long since been exhausted. and there
appears to be no place from which the
money can be taken.
