Pleasant Event of the Y. M. G. A.

The first monthly reception of the
Boys Bible Glass was held i'll \. NJ. G..
A Hall, Tuesday night. These events,
which are gotten ap for the entertain
ment of the members to convince them
that it is not all work and no play in
the Y. NJ. G. A., are regularly looked
forward t. with great deal of pleas
ant anticipation by the little fellows.
There were one hundred and sixty
boys present all cf whom
were on the tip toe of satisfaction and
delight. A short and very pleasant
program was rendered.
After singing by the class, How
ard Shultz, president of the associa-
tion, read the Scriptures. Miss Flor
ence Trumbower rendered recitation
very nicely. after which, Walter Foust
gave violin solo, which was quite
pleasing in effect. He was accom-
panied on the piano by his sister, Miss
Elmira Foust. Harry Lattimere, ac-
companied by his mother on the piano,
gave a cornet solo, which pleased the
boys immensely. Miss Florence Price
also won applause by recitation.
Misses Letitia and Sabina Lunger rem
dered piano duet with "a great deal
of skill. One of the concluding num-
bars was a vocal solo by Miss Ethel
Foust, which proved great hit, the
boys going off in storm of applause,
which, like the little brook threaten
ed to go on forever, until Mr.. Lau
master arose and with great deal OF
difficulty succeeded in getting things
quiet.
Not the least interesting part OF the
entertainment was the dismissal of the
big assemblage of boys, which was ac-
complished without any confusion.
The class was dismissed in groups,
marching to the sound of music down
the steps in single file.
These monthly receptions are in the
hands of boys committee made up
of ladies, Mrs. Laumaster being chair
man. Tuesday nights reception was in
the hands of Mrs. Laumaster. Accord
ing to custom the chairman every
month assigns the entertainment to a
different member of the committee,
who looks after all matters pertaining
to the program. Next months recep-
tion will be in the hands of Miss Noris.

black horse sulked and refused to
pull. "What'll we do father" said
the younger man. well" said the

BOLD BURGLARS
ARE AT WORK

Friday evening, at 80 o'clock, two
men were seen at the residence of
John Jacobs, Jr., on Lower Mulberry
street, and their actions were so sus-
picious that Samuel Bloch, who lives
several doors below Mr.. Jacobs, asked
the men what they were doing there,
to which one replied :" We are looking
for John Dugan." Mr.. Bloch sent for
Chief of Police Mincemoyer, but the
men left before his arrival The police
made thorough search all over town
but were unable to find any trace of
the suspects.
At the Jacobs residence one man was
inside the passageway, while the 9th
er waited on the pavement, probably
as lookout. From where the first
fellow stood he could see in the house
and it is supposed that he was recon
noitering. Had Mr.. Jacobs not been
at home an attempt would probably
have been made to enter it. The early
hour of the evening shows how bold
these men have become, but the police
are keeping u vigilant watch and ex-
peCt to locate them if they remain in
! the city. 1t is not known whether
these are the same men who tried to
get into several residences early yes
terday morning.
Burglars attempted to gain entrance
into the Second Ward Hotel and the
residence of Dr. Z. b. Wintersteen, ON
| East Market street, early Friday
morning They failed at both places
and were chased from the premises of
the hotel by Harry Walker, Il son of
W. II. n Walker, the proprietor. He
got up early to go hunting and heard
a noise at the rear of the house. On
opening the kitchen door he saw man
jump over the back fence. He gave
chase, but the fellow succeeded in max
ing his escape.
Dr. Wintersteen did not know until
6 O'Clock in the evening that his house
had been an object of the burglarious
visit. Then he was told by Mrs. Kate
Marshall, who lives opposite, at No.
739 East Market street. Friday
morning, at about two O'Clock she and
her son, William, saw two men try the
front windows of the DOCTORS house.
Then they went to the side Windows
but were unable to gain entrance there
From that point they disappeared in
to the Walker lot, which is next to DR.
Wintersteen' In a short time one Of
the men came running out the from
way to East Market street and quick ly
disappeared.
The other fellow is evidently tn,
one who got away from Harry Wake
by jumping the fence. Two men stop
ped at the residence of Daniel G
Jones, No. 745 East Market street
Thursday evening and asked for sup
per. They had a spring wagon, t
which was attached dark horse.
is supposed that they later returned
and tried to get into the two places
A burglar made bold attempt t,
effect an entrance into the dwelling o
Mrs. Ida Baldy, West Mahoning street
Friday morning. Shortly after
O'Clock Mrs. Baldy was aroused by
noise at the rear part of her house
Preceding to back window III tn
: second story she looked out and foun
, herself almost face to face with MAJ
outside on il roof of the back kitchen
Mrs. Badly gave an alarm when tn
intruder fled. As he leaped to tn
ground he was plainly seen by Mis-
Matte zimmerman who lives with tin
: family Of H. l.. Gross, next door.

A Passengers Narrow Escape.

w. II. Treas of South Danville, who
Saturday evening was passenger on
the Pennsylvania accommodation train
south, which arrives at Sunbury about
) O'Clock relates very exciting in
cident which occurred near Watson
town. \ short time before reaching
the station some one shot through IA
window of one of the coaches, the ball
passing about foot over the head of
a gentleman occupying the seat. The
bullet produced clean-cut round
hole in the upper corner of the win
dow The fragment of glass displaced
struck the face of the gentleman in
the seat, causing Il wound which bled
profusely.
Whether the act was purely malic-
ious or the bullet was stray one
there is no means of knowing Many
seemed to think the latter was most
likely the case.

WOOD BEGGING
FOR BUYERS

A four horse load of coal from Shamo-
kin Greek two tons in weight, was sold
in this city yesterday by Ephraim Whit
mer, of Hickory Corner Mr.. Whitmer
wanted 81. 30 per ton. but although the
coal had been screened and seemed to
be of fair quality, there were no buy
ers at that price and the coal was sold
at 81 per ton, w. w. Welliver being the
purchaser.
Our Water Works lately received an
other big invoice of river coal from
Sunbury The size used, which is OBJ
tanned by screening and Is something
between nut and pea coal, was form
erly discarded us of no commercial
value During the miners strike,
however anything i'll the form OF a
fuel found sale and with the assist
ance of a blower it was discovered to
answer the purpose very we'll at the
water works.
While this coal is purchased at
strike rates., the price does not run
much, if any above the normal cost of
the coal formerly in use, SO that so far
as operating the water works is con-
cerned our borough is none the worse
off for the miners strike.
1t is a question with the water com
missioners whether they may not find
it to the borough's interest to con
tinue the use of river coal even after
the settlement of the strike. When
the market becomes normal the cost of
the size i'll use may be relied upon to
diminish considerably and by adopting
its use permanently saving might
be effected for the borough which
would amount to considerable item
during the veal.
While our coal dealers can set nc
time during the next few weeks when
they may be able to fill all the orders
they have on their books, nevertheless
now that the strike is settled they see
no obstacle in the way Of the ship
ment of coal, in some quantities with
in few days after resumption. The
| proximity of our town to the coal field
is circumstance very much in it:
favor.
While the settlement of the STRIKE
comes as great relief to our citizens
yet Danville was very fortunately sit
uated, and had the strike continued
all winter 1t is not likely that ther,
would have been any real suffering
| here for the want of fuel. In addition
to river coal, which would have beer

IMPROVEMENTS
At silk Mill

The new annex at the eastern end of
+. Q. Hartman's silk mill, 30 by SO
feet, is rapidly approaching compile
tion and will be ready for use in two
weeks. This will increase the capacity
of the plant considerably and add very
much to the facilities.
The annex on the upper side will
contain large fire-proof vault cap
able of holding $500, 600 worth of raw
silk. There will be large general
office in the center with three private
offices on the south side. One of the
latter will be leased by the Colonial
Spinning Mills Company of Danville.
whose plant is located at Berwick
The annex will make changes posi- i
BILE in the mill proper that will give
Mr.. Hartman 1900 square feet addi-
tional floor space, which will enable
him to install much new and improv-
ed machinery, which is already order
ed and ON the way.
The many improvements that Mr..
Hartman has added to his plant dur
ing the short time it has been in ex-
istence has caused much wonder. 1t
shows how rapid are the strides made
in the perfecting of silk machinery
and how much energy and hard work
are required to keep plant of that
kind in the very front rank.
Mr.. Hartman Friday was found
busy installing an automatic device OF
his own invention, ON about 10000
spindles, which aims to turn out bet
ter product and to render the work OF
the operators easier The new mach
inery to be installed comprise inven
tions conceived by the Atwood Nor
rison Company.
ITO meet the requirements of the en-.
larged building 5OO-ligbt dynamo is
being Installed at the plant to replace
the one of $50 lights, in use up to the
present.
