TO START THE
PUDDLE MILL
Work Will be Resumed at Howe 4 Sam.
uels on Nov. 26.

The repairs on the Howe & Samuels
puddle mill are about completed and the
furnaces will be lighted on Monday,
November &c. The mill has been board
ed up for the cold weather and many
other small repairs have been made. The
stock will be on hand in ample time for
starting. The prospects for the mill
running through the winter are good.
AS one hundred men will be employed
at good wages, this means much to Dan
vile.
This mill has been idle since July, and
many of the hands have had to find en-
ploylnent elsewhere during the summer,
but this will give them a welcome OPP
portunity for work for the winter.
Ten double furnaces will be operated
in the manufacture of low PHOSPHORUS
muck bar for which kind of iron there is
now a good demand.

To Try Civil Gases,

An adjourned term of County court
for the trial of civil cases will be conven-
ed at the court house next Monday
morning. The civil list, that comes up
at that time, was adjourned from the
October term because of the Winter
steen case, which was expected to come
up then.
The civil list contains fourteen cases,
thirteen of which are damage actions
against the Reading Iron Company,
growing out of the explosion of boiler
at the Reading Iron works over three
years ago.
1t is believed that some of these cases
will be tried at this term. but it is ex.
pected that the decisions or verdicts in
the first one or two cases will determine
whether any more of them will be tried.
The first cases on the list are the two
of Joseph Baran and Margareta Baran,
his wife, who bring suit to recover dam
ages for injuries inflicted on Mrs. Baran
and the death of their child, caused by
the piece of the boiler that was blown
through their house.

Bucket Brigade's Work.

A bucket brigade extinguished slight
blaze that threatened the buildings in
the vicinity of the Bloch residence, No.
33S Mill street, at 1870 O'Clock Tues
day morning. The fire was in store
room at the rear of the residence. Be-
fore it was extinguished it burned out a
window frame, badly scorched the wood
work and burned some old clothes. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but it is
suggested that it might have started
from an ironing board that had been
put in the store room but few minutes
before the fire was discovered. The iron.
ing board had just been used and it i:
thought that there may have been {
smouldering smudge in the cloth on the
board. The damage amounted to abou
$40, covered by insurance.

dious work, it being pat on in pieces
eleven by twelve inches in size. All of

The uncertainty concerning the result
of election, which caused slack opera
ton in the silk business throughout the
country before election, has gone, and
that business is now in more thriving
condition than ever.
The Danville Silk mill is feeling the
effects of this activity. Every depart
ment is now working full time with a
full force, and numerous improvements
are being made to better facilitate work.
The largest pays in the history of the
mill are now being made.
Additional lights are being introduc.
ed throughout the mill and in the Office
and vault. When these improvements
are completed 500 lights will be installed
in the MILL
Several new soaking vats are being
built, and new concrete floor is being
laid in the soaking room. Other i'm
provements are being made to give as
perfect ventilation as possible through
out the mill.

GRAND FLORAL
DISPLAY
Private 0hrysanthemum Show" at Castle
Grove Conservatives.

This is one of the snowy months at
the conservatories at Castle Grove. The
large display of numerous other kinds
of Towering plants is reinforced by
what experts have declared to be one of
/ the finest displays of chrysanthemums
in the United States.
A young woman who went through
! the Conservatives yesterday said that
she has attended chrysanthemum shows
in New York and other large cities, but
/ has never seen such fine flowers as those
/ at Castle Grove.
| As the visitor enters the large chrys-
anthemum house, he first beholds a
phalanx of immense white blossoms
such as no Fifth Avenue swell can sport.
''They are as large as cabbages" is the
way in which one person described their
size. Beyond them is a variegated dis
play of every known shade of chrysan-
themums, cream, pink, yellow, reds,
puppies, etc.
Not only are these blossoms of i'm
mense size, but the long and closely
curled petals show that they are of the
most perfect varieties known to florists.
Several of the varieties have been i'm
ported direct fron Europe.
A large box of blossoms was picked
yesterday to be shipped to New York
to Mrs. Bennett.
In addition to the chrysanthemums
the roses of these houses are, as usual,
profuse and as perfect as can be found
any where. During the month ofSept-
ember 5000 american Beauties" were
cut, and it is expected that about as
many more will be cut this month.

Peculiar Election Bet Boat Ride Through
Washingtonville Streets,

A double celebration of election and a
marriage and the paying of a peculiar
election bet created amusement for
Washingtonville citizens Tuesday night.
In this bet it was the winner who was
the loser, or who had to do the work.
II. NJ. Ritter bet on Mckinley and
William K. Savage bet on Bryan. Both
men are employed at n. L. Wagner's
creamery.
Most of the Washingtonviller residents
were on the street at eight o'clock in the
evening to see the bet paid. A parade
was formed headed by "a wagon drawn
by Mr.. Ritter, who was in the thills. In
the wagon was boat in which rode Mr..
Savage. Following them was a wagon
in which was Del Seidel beating two
drums. The parade was from the cream :
cry to Mrs. Heddens' hotel and return,
with stop at A. L. Heddens' hotel
where Mr.. Ritter had to treat Mr.. Saw
age.
After the parade George Moser treat
ed the entire crowd, to celebrate his
marriage, which occurred in Reading
about month ago.

Attempted to Enter Residence of Rev. F
S. Vought, of Riverside.

The gang of burglars which has recent
ly operated at Riverside is still "open
for engagement" Their last attempt
was at the residence of the Rev. F. S.
Vought, Avenue &, on Saturday night.
Mrs. Vought was awakened by the men
who were working at south window.
She called to her son and about the
same time the dog in the house began to
bark. The noise evidently frightened
the fellows away.
Investigation showed that the burg
lars had attempted to cut out pane OF
glass in the window at which they were
working. The members of this gang are
evidently acquainted in the vicinity.
From their recent operations it would
seem that they keep watch and visit
houses from which they think the mer
are away.

Who Encourage Truancy.

Numerous discussions characterized
the meeting of the School Board Monday
evening. President Fischer and Direc-
tors Barber, Green, Orth, keeier, Berger,
Werkheiser, Curry, Fenstermacher, Lung
er and Harpel were in attendance
Auditing of bills led to the first dis
cussons and several claims were referr-
ed back to the committee without being
audited,
The request of Harry Swank's father
for the transfer of his son was granted
and the boy was ordered transferred
from the Second to the Third ward
Grammar school.
The request was granted for the use
of the High school room next week for
the County Institute.
Prof Ream of the night school asked
that better light be furnished and that
water be introduced into the room.
A resolution was passed directing the
Third ward janitor to ring the first bell
for the night school at 7:l5 o'clock and
to open the doors for the admission of
pupils at that time.
Permission was granted to Prof. Cary
to use few supplies from the High
school for experiments before the Y. M.
G. A.
The discussion about keeping the
night school open during Institute week
was settled by a reference to the State
law, which specifies that no school un-
der public authority shall be kept open
during Institute week.
Truant Officer Young's report brought
out the fact that several parents encour-
age their children to stay out of school.
A resolution directing the arrest for such
non compliance with the law, of one
father was rescinded; but it was decided
that after the next meeting an example
will be made by the arrest of any par
entS who fail to comply with the law in
this respect

HIGHW WAYMEN At
EAST DANVILLE
Robbed Three Men And Woman Sunday
Evening.

The hoidup occurred about six O'Clock
Thomas Kasbner, the first victim, YVES
held up in the street by the ring leader
of the party who searched his pockets
and took twenty-five cents from him.
After robbing Mr.. kashner they ran
him at the point of a revolver over the
hill beyond town. After they left him
| Mr.. Kashner went around through the
woods and returned to give the alarm.
After leaving Mr.. Kashner the men
went to the house of Jacob K. Cole, a
farmer about eighty years old. Three of
them remained outside the yard, while
the leader of the gang went in, pointed
his revolver at Mr.. Coles niece and ord
cred her to get her money for him.
81 haven't any money" protested the
frightened woman.
Eyes you have got S. 900, and l want
it," ordered the ruffian.
The lady promised to get her pocket
book and the fellow let her 60 up stairs.
When she came down she found him
holding revolver at Mr.. Coles head
and searching him. A pocket knife was
all that was taken from the old man.
Miss Cole gave the fellow her pocket
book from which he took the money,
seventeen cents. He left the book.
AS soon as she could Miss Cole slipped
out the back way and hurried to John
Krumm's to give the alarm.
In the meantime the highwaymen met
Ralph Ritter in the road and ordered
him 10 hold up his hands. The young
man supposed they were fooling and did
not comply at once, whereupon the
leader of the gang sent bullet past his
ear. The revolver was held SO close that
the powder burned his face.
Mr.. Ritter's hands promptly wen up
and his pockets were searched. From
him fifty cents and some matches were
taken.
After robbing Mr. Ritter, the men
started up the street when they met Mr..
Krumm, armed with shot gun, return
ing with Miss Cole.
AS soon as she heard the leader of the
party speak, Miss Cole exclaimed ::
That's the man that was in our house. !"
MIR. Krumm seized the fellow. By this
time quite crowd had collected, and
the other three men were practically un-
der arrest.
"You have no right to hold me with
out a warrant. Let me 60 y ordered the
leader of Mr.. .Krumm.
The bluff worked and MIR. Krumm re-
leased his hold. The fellow then backed
up to the fence, pulled his revolver say
ing "If any man lays his hands on
me again, I'll put hole through him."
With that the ruffian started toward
town accompanied by his three compan-
ions. To show that their guns were
loaded the fellows fired several shots as
they ran off.
Chief Mincemoyer, learning of the
crime, hurried to the place, but nothing
more was seen of the highwaymen.
All of the men were recognized as
Danville young men. The leader of the
party, who was the only one who took
an active part in the robberies, has fire.

Bridge Officer Hale Will Arrest Violators

Bridge Officer Ephraim Hale makes
much complaint about the persistent
smoking and fast driving on the river
bridge.
Mr.. Hale says that in many cases he
has frequently told men not to smoke,
but they persist in doing it, despite the
fact that it is against the law and strict
ly prohibited by the Commissioners. 1t
is dangerous practice as a spark from a
cigar or cigarette could easily be the
means of destroying the entire struct-
ure.
Officer Hale intends to be more rigid
with the smokers and fast drivers here
after. After the first warning, all offend.
ers will be promptly arrested.
