The Last Day Of School.

This is the last day of school in this
city and in nearly every room special
exercises will be held. The summer
vacation will be happily spent by the
pupils and i'll few months they will
be ready again for school duties, hap
pier and heartier for their recreation.
The term just closing is one of the
most successful i'll the history Of the
Danville schools. There are 1854 pu-
pills on the rolls and they have all
done remarkably we'll. In the upper
grades, especially, has the advance
ment been gratifying. In past years
quite number dropped out during
the grammar course, but special efforts
were made during this term to enlist
the interest of the pupils and to have
them continue their studies into the
high school. The success of this work
is shown in the excellent commence
ments that are to be held to-day by the
grammar seniors and by the number
who will receive diplomas. TO-mor-
row evening, the High School com
mencement exercises will be held in
the Opera House.

MAKING USE
OF RIVER COAL

Several of our industries are re-
plenishing their nearly depleted coal
bunkerS from source that was not
thought of when the strike began.
The supply comes from an extensive
mine very near home, one that is
easily worked and whose output is un-
affected by the strike, namely, the riv-
er bottom at Sunbury, which annually
yields hundreds of tons of coal of the
smaller size brought down from the
coal regions by the spring floods.
Our water commissioners have pur-
chased a large quantity of this coal for
use at the water works Two car loads
were received at the plant yesterday
and will be used today for the first
in firing the boilers. The Danville
Stove & Manufacturing company is
also using river coal under its boilers,
having purchased fifty tons at Sun
bury. The coal is thoroughly clean,
but seems to have been slightly dam
aged by its contact with the water, so
that to obtain very good results it is
necessary to mix q small quantity
of soft coal with it,
Several other local industries are
using river coal or contemplate giving
it trial. Ii is considerably cheaper
than coal from the mines. But cost
has very little to do with it, as our
manufacturers may be glad to get hold
of it at any pri ce before the summer
is over in order to exc out the
limited supply of soft coal on hand
1t is well known fact that coal is
deposited along the bottom of the riv-
er at intervals between Sunbury and
the mouth of the Nescopeck creek. A
large quantity every year lodges short
distance below Danville at the bend
of the river. The greater quantity,
however, is swept by the swift current
down to the junction of the two riv-
ers, where in the dead water this side
of the dam it sinks to the bottom.
During the low water of August and
September considerable quantity of
coal every year is taken from the river
near this place. Owing to the scarcity
of coal incident TO the strike it is only
natural that during the coming sum
mer taking coal from the river may
become quite an industry among our
citizens

the wound was quite a bad one. A phy- sician was called in and decided an opera ton was necessary. The woman's leg was cut off and last night she died. The question for the courts to decide Is what crime the Thomas woman Is guilty of.
 The defense will claim that the Baker woman would not have died if the opera ton had not been performed. but the State will probably combat this view of the case strongly and will doubtless at- tempt to show that the woman is guilty of murder. It will be claimed that the operation was necessary and was per formed in an effort to save the life of the wounded woman.
 There are some nice points in the case for lawyers to argue and they will make the most of them no doubt.
 The Baker woman was buried at Craw- ford yesterday and a large crowd or negroes turned out to attend the funeral
