 Last Night

Arions and the Turn Verein United
 Last Night.
 The consolidation of the Arion Sing ing society and the New Haven Turn Verein took place last night, and the previously arranged official programme was carried out in every detail. At S:3o the Turner's, headed by the Second reg iment band, marched from their hall to the Arion hall, corner of George and Church streets where they entered the hall and formally invited the AIions to join forces with them and be escorted to Turn hall, which will be used for all future meetings. Henry Kissinger, the president of the Arions, accepted the invitation. This was in accord with a vote passed by the society some time ago, and was a mere formality. After the singing of farewell song the Ari- on5 formed in line, and, escorted by the Turner's marched from their hall through Church street, to Chapel to Orange and then to the Turn Verein hall. There the following programme was given
 Overture-Fichtl's band.
 Plastic group-Turners and singers. Welcome speech-Charles Schenck,
 president of Turner's.
 Song-Das Deutsche Lied-Arion. Reply to speech of welcome-H. Ktssin-
 ger, president of Arion.
 Song by assembly-My County Iris of
 Thee.
 Address-Dr. E. H, Arnold. Song by ssembly--Deu tschland,
 Deutschland, ueber Alles Song-Tage der Rosen-Arion.
 A general good time followed the con- clusion of this programme and the fes- tivities lasted until an early hour. Hereafter the Arions will be known as the singing section of the New Haven Turn Verein.
 The new organization begins its ca- reer with very bright prospects for the future, and it is hoped that this society, which is representative of the German element of the city, will accomplish all that it desires.

lessor Watrous was present and stated that in 1900 he paid the bill of 1899, which was for 14,0O0, as General Mer- win stated. and that the SS,000 bill was part payment of the 1900 taxes the bal ance of which was still in dispute in the courts
 MT. Carroll then turned on Professor Watrous and openly insulted him be- fore the meeting. This drew misses from the crowd, and Alderman Fert- man. calling him to order, stated that he would allow him to insult no one in committee before him.
 A. Maxcy Hitler explained that he was on the water committee ten yeaDs ago and argued against the $20,O00 con- tract. MT Carroll produced the jour- nal of the board of aldermen showing that MT. Hiller favored the contract with the Water company, which caused some levity among the crowd. He was in favor of MT. Wallace's removal of the ambiguity from the contract
 Thomas Hare, representing the Trades council, cited Hartford and her benefits under the municipal ownership. He said: This committee has great deal of food for thought. and before reporting it should take into considera- tion the data that have been furnished and the facts that have been presented. I do not think the contract should run longer than three years. This matter has been talked of a great deal in Trades council circles, and the move ment is being watched very closely by organized labor These charges of cor ruption should also be looked into.'
 John Boyle was opposed to making a contract for more than three years.
 Edward c. Beecher favored ten, fif- teen, twenty or thirty-year contract, and thought it would be sorry day for New Haven when she should come into possession of the water supply.
 John Doyle was opposed to more than three-year contract, and referred the committee to the statistics of Massa- chusetts cities which have prospered under municipal ownership.
 William Gay favored municipal own ership. but did not know whether the time was ripe to acquire the water works. ''We should own everything we are compelled to have, N said MT. Gay, "and would like to know what propo- sitions the company has to make. If it Is not generous in it's contract, however, I think it will fare badly"
 There being others to be heard on the matter another meeting was found nee essary and an adjournment was taken The date of the next hearing will be ail- nounced later

GRIP ON ITS
ANNUAL ROUND
Plenty of it in Danville But its of Mild
Form.

This is the season of the year when
the grippe is expected to be abroad in
the land, and from the press reports
from many places, expectations are be-
ing realized. Danvile is no exception
to the rule. All of the local physicians
report prevalence of the disease in this
city and surrounding country.
Aside from the grippe, the doctors
say that there is comparatively little
sickness now, considering what is usual
ly expected at this time of the year.
With few exceptions the cases of grippe
are of mild form, in many cases not con-
fining the sufferers to the house.
About this time every winter for the
past ten years there has been a recur-
rent epidemic of this disease, and each
year it seems to appear in slightly diff
ferent form. The peculiar feature of the
season is usually noticeable in every
case.
The feature this year in which the dis
ease differs from past seasons is an ac-
companying abdominal trouble. In
other respects it is much the same as
heretofore, in mild form. All cases
are accompanied by aching bones, a
general lassitude, cold in the head, etc.
While physicians differ in opinion as
to whether the weather is responsible
for the disease, they all agree that such
weather as has predominatad for the
past two weeks and particularly for the
past two days, tends to increase it,

A new notice concerning the read
justment of wages at the Howe & Polk
Structural tubing works was posted yes
terday morning. This new schedule
gives an advance of five per cent in
wages over the one posted several days
ago, and which was to have gone into
effect yesterday. The notice poste d
Tuesday read:
"Danville, Pa, Jan. Is, 1901.
"After careful consideration, the fol-
lowing change in wages has been adopt.
ed. Except in few cases, the same wages
will be paid as were paid prior to the
ten per cent advance in July, 1899. This
makes a reduction of just about nine
per cent. 1t makes common labor ten
and half cents an hour. Engineers,
watermen and tiremen will receive the
same wages as are paid for similar work
elsewhere in this vicinity. The few in
dividuals whose wages are not changed
exactly in accordance with the above,
will be promptly notified by Mr.. Price.

rural mail routes centering at Danville.

December and they must be awarded

Paxinos includes Elysburg, Quitman,

contracts. sub-letting them to the car
riers. The Snydertown route contract
is now held by man living in Iowa.
According to the new rules, the success
tul bidders must live along the routes
on which they bid, so that they can di
rectly oversee the work or do it.them-
selves. This will give the persons carry
ing the mail an opportunity to contract
directly with the government, without
giving some rich contractor an oppor-
tunity to make middleman's profit.
All of the contracts also call for the
free delivery by the carrier Of mail at
any house along the route where box
is placed beside the road, or to any box
placed beside the road by person who
may not live along the direct road.
This will mean practical free rural de-
livery for many families living along
these routes, permitting them to have
their MORNING NEWS delivered daily at |
their doors.
Applications have also been made re-
Gently to Hon. r. X. Polk, requesting |
him to use his influence with the postal |
to have regular free rural |
delivery established in Montour county. |
This would include delivery at country |
houses that are not located along regu.
lar routes.

Interesting Addresses at Mahoning Pres
byteriau Church.

Two large congregations at the Ma
honing Presbyterian church Sunday
listened to interesting addresses deliver
ed by the Rev. J. ii. Laughlin, a return
ed missionary from China. Mr.. Laugh
Inns mission was located in the Shan
Tung province, the hot-bed or the Boxer
movement. At the evening service he
gave an instructive account of the recent
troubles in China, and described the
thrilling experiences of several of the
missionaries with whom he was former
ly associated.
In regard to the causes that led up to
the troubles, he said the stories were
false which claimed that one of the
things that melted the Chinese against
the Christian nations was the fact that
some of the Missionaries had cheated
the natives. He said that in the end he
believes the recent troubles will be a
good thing, because it will result in a
more settled condition, making it posi-
ole for rapid advance of missionary
work.

Assigned to Attend Presidents Inaugural
ton in Washington.

The members of Company F are hap
py. For some time they have hoped
that they would be included in the
Pennsylvania troops that are to 60 to
Washington on March 4 to witness the
Inauguration of President Mckinley.
Now they know that they have been as
signed for that pleasant work. Three
regiments will 60 out of the Third bri-
gade, and it has been decided that the
Fourth and Twelfth shall be two of
those regiments, it being undecided
whether the Ninth or Thirteenth shall
be the other one.
This is always looked upon by MEM
bers of the National Guard as one of the
most pleasant assignments. 1t gives the
members of the company free transpor-
tation to the national capital and their
board while they are there. 1t also gives
them an opportunity to witness the in
auguration, an event which many peo-
pie are willing to pay their way across
the continent to see.
