.'By a series of filters the sewage is

contained in the water can be effected
only by oxidation. This could theoreti-
cally be attained by the application of
fire, but for obvious reasons this is inn

company. While Mr.. Chamberlain
spoke conservatively. there is much in
the present situation that is gratifying,
and the much desired end is in sight.
Mr.. Chamberlain said:
The Chicago officers of the company
have at times previously, been inclined
to the belief that they have not been
treated in spirit of fairness, but as
they have become more accurately ac-
quainted with all the conditions Of the
controversy. they have become satisfied
that the mistrust shown by the people
down the Iowa valley was caused by
past experiences with the present COM
|pany's predecessors. They now grant
that this distrust was wholly justified,
and feel that all that is necessary to re-
gain this confidence. which was lost
thru no fault of theirs, is to give them
I an eSanlplco of fair and open treatment.

strainers. which are three in number,
are divided into two compartments by
a wall, but on q false bottom of hollow
tile, so that the water and air can pass
freely from enc tank to the other. The

New Armory will be Erected.

After the return of Co. + from Shen-
andoah the Financial Committee and
the Board of Trustees will at once begin
active work for the purpose of raising
funds for the new Armory which the
company intends building as early in
the spring as possible. As yet no site
has been selected though several have
been favorably spoken of. The build
ing will be one story frame structure
and the cost will not exceed $4,000. About
$1,000 will be raised by the efforts of the
company and the committee expect to
issue stock for the balance which will
bear five per cent interest. As the
State appropriation and the rentals,
from balls, festivals, etc, more than COW
er the amount, there should be no diff.

ney.
A new Armory must be built as the
one now occupied was condemned at

means the disbandment of the company
unless a suitable drill room can be Sc

NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DEATH.
John Shipe, of Sunbury, Narrowly Es-
capped Death at South Danville.

John Shipe, of Sunbury, carpenter
in the employ of the Pennsylvania
railroad company, narrowly escaped be
ing crushed to death Monday night by a
coal train. Shipe is working on the
Gulick sand-siding near the South Dan

earlier than usual and came up to the
station to catch freight train No. SIS. 1t
went by the station at a high rate Of
speed and Shipe with one hand grasped
the hand rail of coal sar. He missed
his footing and was dragged along the
ties to the freight station, a distance Of
several hundred feet.
In some miraculous manner he man
aged finally to get on the car Had he
been dragged a few yards further, he
would have been thrown against a box
car standing on the freight house siding.
Fortunately he escaped with a few bad
bruises.

LOCAL INDUSTRIES
NAY CLOSE
Impossible to Secure Coal Enough to Con-
tInUe Operations.

The SIN tIouiu the great strike Of the
Anthracite miners IS practically unchang-
ed from the conditions Of Yesterday. The
1azleton and Wyoming districts are
completely tied up. The operators from
east Of Ashland to Hahanoy City have
so far failed and noa;tempt will be made
to run the mines IN that locality at pres
ent. Locust Gap and Mid Valley COLI
cries are working ana the North Frank
IN coliery is running short handel The
only cUilierie> operating full handed are
those at Treyorton.
The effects Of the shortage of coal are
now being felt throughout the entire
East and at all anthracite market points.
The dealers in this city say that it IL inn
possible to buy coal at present except
at ruinous prices and most Of them have
orders enough to clean up their present
stock.
The hardest situation to face in this
city is the effect the coal strike will have
on our Industries both large and small.
Should the miners remain idle much
longer the most Of our Industries will be
compelled to close down. There IS but
one mill in the city that has coal enough
to continue operations should the strike
be lengthy one.
Many families have already secured
their winters supply Of coal. To a
MoRNISG News representative one of
our leading dealers last evening said that
he thought mt least three-fourths Of the
domestic users had filed their bins Tie
also stated that il looked a. though the
present prices might prevail the entire
winter even though the miners should
return to work next week as il viii be
impossible to stock the market in a few
months time.

ANNEX TO THE
WATER. WORKS.
To Be Built at 0nce-Will Cost About
Five Thousand Dollars.

Being more successful than on the last
regular meeting night, Council had a
quorum Friday evening which was made
up of the following members: President
kemmer and Messrs. Goldsmith, Fetter-
man, Vastine, Sechler, Lauer, Brandt.
Although the meeting occupied but
one hour, some very important business
was transacted during that short space
of time, it being decided to allow the
Board of Water Commissioners to pro-
ceed with the building of an annex to the
Water Works and the erection of a new
nest of boilers therein. The intention
of the Board, as explained by Charles
Chalfant, Esq, one of its members, is to
erect to the west of the present structure
building sufficiently large 10 allow the
placing of number of new boilers with
enough extra space to provide for the
housing of an electric light plant should
the Borough ever decide to operate its
own.
The new boilers are reported rs an
absolute necessity rs II" Old ones have
been condemned on Srv, RAJ "cra>i MS by
experts and it is cIalmc.i that they can
not be replaced nor rr'aireh with out
others to do service Gu.I.g their mac
tivity.
Mr.. Chalfant claimed that a fair esti-
mate of the cost of the proposed im-
provements would be $1,000 at the out
side. Plans and specifications will be
secured at once and will be passed upon
by Council before the work is commenc-
ed
Harry Trumbower and John Waite,
being appointed committee by the
Friendship Hose Company, appeared
before Council and asked assistance in
their endeavors to fit themselves out
with new hose wagon, horses and street
sprinkler. Council, desiring to do as
well by this company as it did by the
Washingtons, readily appropriated the
sum of Sl25 for use by that company.
Under the head of Streets and Bridges,
Mr.. Vastine moved that the Street Com
missioner be empowered to buy 1000 feet
of oak plank for use in reporting and
building bridges and crossings which
motion carried.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Fetterman,
the quarterly appropriations to the Fire
Companies were ordered paid.
A motion, made by Mr.. Fetterman, to
advertise the old Washington hose reel
for sale, was lost on yea and nay vote,
there being nays to , yeas.
The ordinance repeating an ordinance
empowering the Water Board to select
employees etc, passed third reading and
was declared adopted.

DANIEL FRY
ENDS HISLIFE,
Seeks Death as a Relief While in a
Melancholy State.

The quiet little hamlet of Grovania
received severe shock Monday morn
about eleven o'clock when it was an
nounced that Daniel Fry, had commit
ed suicide by hanging himself.
The body was discovered by his
daughter Miss Maize, at ten minutes to
eleven. To representative of this
paper she said that her father had beer
seen about nine O'Clock anG that he
seemed in better spirits than for many
days. He was missed for the first
time at 1915 A. NJ. Not finding him
about the house she went out to
the barn. Mr. Fry had been accustom-
loft above the barn yard and upon look
ing there the girl was Mortified to find
her fathers lifeless body swinging from
beam. Fry had mounted a ladder,
walked to the centre of the beam and
after tying heavy piece of rope about
his neck jumped off, dropping abou
seven feet. He died of strangulation,
the neck not being broken.
Mr.. Fry was well to do farmer and
one of the best known citizens in Col
umbia county. He was sixty years of
age and was born in Grovania, residing
there all his life. Last spring he suffer
ed severe attack of "Grippe" from
which he never entirely recovered.
Since his illness he has done very little
work and for the past three months has
been in a constant state of dependency,
which no doubt was the cause of his rash
act. He is survived by wife, five sons
and three daughters.
The funeral will be held from the
family residence on Thursday morning
at nine-thirty. The Rev. d. l.. Fogle-
man of this city will conduct the SER
vices and the interment will be made in
the Lazarus cemetery near Grovania.
