was an arch OF smilax ornamented with
punches Of American beauty roses tied
with broad, rose colored ribbons, while
the seats for the family in the centre

IMPROVEMENTS AT
READING WORKS
M ...ty New Boilers and Two Artesian
Wells.

The Reading Iron company Is about
entering upon an important system OF
improvements at its plant in this city.
The i'm provements, which include new
boilers for both the pudding and heat
ing departments, extensive alterations
about the roof and the sinking OF two
artesian wells, will involve a cost of not
less than 100000.
The boilers at the plant have been in
service many years. Two over heating
furnaces were replaced by new ones a
couple of years ago. This leaves nine
heating furnaces yet to be supplied with
new boilers in addition to the twenty
one pudding furnaces. Two of the new
boilers, intended for the heating fur
naces, have already arrived at the plant
and may be seen on the cOmpany's
switch at the rear of the office. They
are upright, water tube Cohill boilers,
monsters in size, of / inch steel and "a
inches in diameter. The boilers over the
pudding furnaces will be replaced with
horizontal ones, containing two lS-inch
tlues, most approved type.
No time will be lost while the new
boilers are being installed. 1t will bC SO
arranged that the work in progress will
affect but two furnaces at one time
Thus by the time the thirty some fur
naces are overhauled summer will be
waning. Evidently work about the big
plant for the next six months will be at
tended with much inconvenience, even
if delays do not occur.
The installment of the new boilers,
which are larger than the old ones, will
necesstate the raising of all the lower or
outside section of the roof covering both
mills This in itself will represent a
great deal of work and may reasonably
be expected to furnish employment to
large number of local mechanics.
The sinking Of artesian wells TO sup
ply the plant with water during the
months of July, August and September
is the only measure for the company to
adopt since the abandonment of the
canal.
1t may interest our readers to learn
that the big plant requires 5000, 600 gal
Ions of water per day to supply its sew
eral departments. The supply ordinari-
ly is drawn from dam in Mahoning
creek on the company's own land north
west of the borough. This source fails.
however, uuring the low water season.
1t was then that the canal became an
indispensable factor and was drawn up
on for all the water used at the plant.
The dam will furnish the main water
supply as before. The artesian wells
will be relied upon to supply the def
cheney. Two wells will be sunk, each s
inches in diameter. These may be very
deep; there is no telling to what depth
they may have to he driven before a
vein of water is reached. Work on them
will begin in very short time Thomas
B. Harper, of Jenkintown, who will
have the work in charge, is already on
the ground.

Brought Home From HOSPITAL,

James Ryan, Northumberland street,
who one month ago fractured his skull
by fall down stairs and was taken to
s.. Agnes Hospital, Philadelphia, for
treatment, was brought home by his son
Matthew, on Saturday evening last very
much improved. Mr.. Ryan's case was ii
very critical one, as, will be remember
ed, he lay in comatose state for nearly
a week before he was taken to the hos
pital. An operation performed by the
hospital doctors resulted in the removal
of piece of the fractured skull. The
patient has reganed his reason, al
though he has no memory of the fall
and fancies that he has passed through
a siege Of illness.

An Ancient TimepieCe.

John g. Brown has an old clock in his
store, Mill street, which is quite cur
iosity both as to pattern and age. 1t is
a Schwartzenwald clock known to be
at least lS0 years old, which as an anti.
que antedates the style of timepece
known as the "grandfather's clock, ;" it.
self something of a relic. 1t is con
structed on the same scale as the large
old fashioned clock, but the only resem.
blance it bears to it is the dial. 1t is
without any case, the works and weight:
are exposed to view, the pendulum
swinging to and fro without any protec'
tion whatever. Mr.. Brown gave the old
timepiece complete overhauling, fast
ened it to the wall and set it going
Since Saturday last it has kept perfect
time. The old clock is one of very
few of such kind in existence.

known, whose generous disposition and
genial sunny nature won him many

improvements at DeWitt's Park,


DR.. A. T. Dewitt, who with the re-
currence of each spring since the open
ing of his park at Riverside has added
some new feature as an attraction to the
resort, will this spring continue the i'm
provemcnts by erecting an annex to the
already large pavilion. The addition,
which will add 600 square feet more
to the payalion, will include two
dressers, one for ladies and the other
for gentlemen. The dressers, which will
answer as a receptacle for wraps and en-
able piCnickerS to change their costume,
will be an accommodation much apprec-
lated by those who patronize the park.
A force of men are quite busy about
the park cleaning up the grove and max
ing the usual spring repairs, which in
clude regarding of the bicycle path and
driveway. The base ball and foot ball
grounds are also being put in shape.
The merry-g -go-round will be installed
within the next month.
DR.. Dewitt is looking forward to a
very busy season. The reputation OF
his park as an attractive and healthfuI
resort is widely known and in addition
to home patronage he expects to book q
number Of picnics from our neighboring
towns.
The Danville Gun and Rifle club has
leased ground for another year, and the
bi-weekly shoots Of the club will be 8
feature of the amusement at the park.
The first attraction of the season al
the park will be the base ball game be
tween Danvillc High school and Lewis
burg High school on Saturday next.

BESSEMER CO.'S
NEW PLANS
Shovel Factory May be in Operation by
July.

James l.. Barber, a representative of
the Danvlile Bessemer company, arrived
III this city Friday and was interviewed
| by a representative of this paper.
1t seems to be the policy of the company
to give as little publicity as possible to
its plans relating to the new industry it
proposes to establish here. Upon learn
ing, however. how greatly are citizens
are interested in the matter Mr.. Barber
consented to give out few general facts
for publication.
He confirmed the stories printed in
these columns relating to the plans of
the Bessemer company. 1t is true that
the company proposes to equip the plant
| and enter upon the manufacture of a
variety of articles, the initial feature of
which will be full line ,of shovels and
scoops. The manufacture of other arti-
cles, the names of which are withheld it
was explained, will be taken up from
time to time as adjuncts. The number
of men employed will eventually approx
innate hundred or more.
The new industry will be housed in the
upper plant formerly known as the plate
and rail mill along with the "chair fac
tory on the opposite side of the D. l..
& w. tracks. With the exception of the
plate mill, which will require some
modification, for the work On hand, new
machinery, all of special type, will have
to be installed. The men employed in
the plant at present are experts, busy
in designing the new mills.
The plant will not be ready for opera
ton much, if any, before the Fourth of
July, although all the preparations are
being actively pushed forward. A GER
tain part of the work will require skilled
workmen. Several of these with their
families have already moved to town
while Others will follow between this
and the starting up of the plant In this
connection, however, Mr.. Barber ex-
planned, that local wOrkmen as far as
practicable will be given preference
According to the plans of the com
pany at present no use will be made of
the steel plant structure. 1t is true
force of men have been busy for several
days past around the building cleaning
up, grading, &c, but their work, it
seems, signifies nothing beyond an at
tamnt -, :- "a
things.
An important item of information Civ
en- out during the interview was that the
Danville Bessemer Co. contemplates
starting up its blast furnace here. But
little could be learned as to when it will
be blown in or anything relating to it
beyond the fact that its operation will
be entirely Independent of the CON-
pany's other industry here.

The school board held a regular meet
ing Monday night with President Jacob
Fischer in the chair. Members were in
their places as follows: Orth, Barber,
Burger, Werkheiser, Black, Fenster-
macher, Keefer, Lunger and Curry.
Superintendent Houser presented his
report for the month ending April Sth,
from which the following points were
cleaned:
Total number of different pupils en-
rolled to date-males, 672; females, 664,

ing the month-males, 563; females, ,575,
total, 113S. Average daily attendance,
989. Total percent of attendance 80.
Number of pupils i'll during month, 1873.
The showing this month is quite an
improvement on last months report,
which in the matter of absentees and
tardiness was the subject of much un-
favorable comment by the board. The
Superintendent and faculty have been
hard at work during the past month in
an endeavor to effect several reforms in
the high school and are meeting with
good success. The present report shows
6S4 absent as against $50 last month;
230 pupils tardy as against 29S last
month and 433 cases of tardiness as
against 544 last month.

Water Rates Too Low.

The borough council held a regul ar
meeting last night, President Kemmer oc-

bers were present: Goldsmith, Dough-
erty, M. d. L. Sechler, Fetterman, Davis,
Vastine, George Secbler and Gibson.
On motion of Mr.. Vastine the follow
ing resolution was adopted:
1t having come to our knowledge that
water is being furnished by the Water
Department at J cent per thousand gal.
Ions, which is 81 cents less than cost per
thousand gallons we are 10th to believe
that the Water Department is cogni-
unnt of tho F"ot w, the U-atoi oum-
mittee, would kindly ask you to inves-
tigate if such are the facts.

Nj. ID. l.. SECHLER.
On motion of NJ. d. l.. Sechler the
purchase of four rubber coats were or
dered for the Friendship Fire company.
Mr.. Vastine of the Committee on
Streets and Bridges made report stat
ing what disposition was made of the
matters referred to the committee at last
meeting. John Keim, he said, had con-
sented to fill up the hollows at the foot
of Foust and Cooper streets on the river
| bank, caused by the removal of clay.
With reference to the complaint of Mr..
Welliver entered at last meeting, that
| owing to bad drainage surface water was
thrown in upon his premises, No. 33 Ash
street, the committee decided that the
place being naturally low it would be
impossible for the borough to do any
| thing in the matter. As to the gutter
| on Ferry street, in need of cObbling,
which throws the water in upon Robert
Miller, it was explained that Mr.. Mil
ler's gutter is below grade, while that OF
his neghbors is above grade. Under the
circumstances it was recommended that
the parties interested get together and
settle the matter among themselves
The report suggested some additional
repairs, which was left in the hands oi
the committee.
On motion of Mr.. Dougherty Andrew
Russell was granted permission to con
meet his restaurant with the sewer al
Lower Mulberry street.
Franklin Boyer appeared before coun
ell to complain of unjust treatment not
only from the Friendship Fire company
who, he alleged, will not divide the
sprnkling of the borough fairly with
him, but also from the Water Superint
endent, whom he accused OF discriminat
ing in favor of the Fire company. Mr.
Keefer, who was present, explained thai
the Fire company had complied witt
the regulations by agreeing to pay tn,
annual water tax of 1925, while Mr.
Boyer refused to come to terms. Harr,
Trumbower spoke in defense of TIN
Friendship Fire company. 1t was tn
