Mr.. POLK'S
SUCCESSOR
Governor May Decide Not to Hold a
Special Election.

The Sunbury Daily III discussing the
successorship to Hon. r. X. Polk finds
reason for believing that no special cleo
ton will be held. The Governor ac-
cording to the law governing the case
may appoint as early a time as possible
for the holding Of special election;
otherwise he shall direct the election to
be held at the time appointed for hold
ing the general election
If Governor Stone decides not to hold
a special election two Congressman will
be elected next November Mr.. Polk
term will not expire until March, 1908,
and his successor will be elected toserve
from November until March. The
other candidate will be elected for the
full term
1t is generally conceded among politi-
clans that Mr.. Polk successor for the
unexpired term should come from Mon
tour county. Alexander Billmeyer of
Washingtonville, is mentioned as can
didate.
Mr. Billmeyer was called up by phone
last night by an AMERICAN reporter and
asked for his views on the subject. He
agreed that Montour is entitled to the
candidate and admitted that he cherish
ed an ambition to be Mr.. Polk's sue
ceSSOr.

David Evans Injured.

David Evans, residing on East Market
street, an employe of Howe q Polk,
about 4 o'clock yesterday morning met
with a very painful accident, which
might have resulted fatally. The mis-
hap was one which frequently occurs at
the rolls of the Structural Tubing works.
A section of red hot pipe about twenty
five feet long leaving the groove de
signed to conduct it from the rolls flew
like an arrow in the direction of Mr..
Evans, who had just assumed the posi-
ton of hooker The man tried to get
out of the way by jumping backward,
but was struck by the iron tube, which
pierced his clothing and grazed his alb
domen. In this position the hot iron
was held by the mans clothing infict-
ing bad burn.
Under the pain and excitement Mr..
Evans to remove the hot bar mechani-
cally grasped it with his bare hands, but
only succeeded in adding to his tortures
by inficting additional burns. The iron
was not removed until the clothing hold
ing it was entirely burned away
Mr.. Evans hands and body, grazed
by the iron were burned into blister
and it will be a week or more before he
will be able to resume work.

Eight Hundred Men EMPLOYED.

The Reading Iron works Monday
morning were started up in all de-

idleness of nine months The mill is
now completed along all its lines and

machinery is brought into use The big
plant, every part of whose roof seems
belchiug out steam and smoke, pre-
sents very busy and animated appear
ance, which suggests days before the
fire.
The starting up of the entire mill has
brought the number of employees up to
the maximum men, The pay roll
must grow accordingly and from now
on it will be up to the high water mark
attained before the fire thirty three
Thousand dollars per month
1t is therefore easy to estimate the
Importance Of the Reading Iron works
a. a factor in the general prosperity of
the town. Little less than one half of
our adult wage earners find employ
ment under its roof. No wonder. there
fore, that our citizens regarded its fu-
ture with 80 much anxiety when it was
nearly wiped out of existence by fire
last May. The Reading Iron works as
rebuilt and equipped are now, to speak
industrially, rock in the foundation of
the town that should make its future

Brought Down a Golden Eagle

A great golden eagle, bird as beauti-
ful as it is rare in this section of the
Union, was shot in West Hemlock town
ship on Friday last The young man
who had the honor Of bringing down
this king of the feathery tribe is Peter
Sandel son of County Commissioner
Hiram Sandel
During the day the noble bird on wide
extended wings was observed circling
around over one of the fields of the San
del farm. Finally it alighted near one
corner of the enclosure.
Taking down his gun-an ordinary
fowling piece loaded with No. shot
young Sandel hurried out anxious, if
possible, to get shot at the big bird
Keeping concealed behind natural de-
clivity he approached within gun shot
before he was detected by the eagle
Conscious of its power and with char
acteristic daring the bird instead of tax
ing flight started for the young man.
Mr.. Sandel does not deny that he felt
like quailing as the big bird of prey,
whose wings from tip to tip spread out
seven feet in width, savagely bore down
upon him.
He did the only thing that remained
to be done under the circumstances-he
raised his gun and blazed away. 1t was
a lucky shot-the discharge took effect
in the eagles head and the big bird fell
heavily to the ground. 1t weighed nine
pounds
Mr.. Sandel brought the eagle into this
city. All day Saturday and Sunday it
was on exhibition at the store of NJ H.
Schram, an object of never ending cur
iosity Works on natural history state
that the golden eagle is only an occas-
ional winter visitant in this section of
the Union. The Oldest resident here
about had never seen one.
The eagle has been presented to Mr.
Scarlet who will have it mounted.

Blaze on Hemlock Street.

a slight blaze at the residence of
Jacob Engle, Hemlock street, about 8
o'clock Tuesday morning brought out
the fire department.
Mrs. Engle, whose husband was alb
sent, had just left the house, on a short
errand taking with her the six-months-
old infant and leaving three year-old
son up stairs. When she returned the
little fellow who had come down stairs
informed her that he believed the
house was on fire.
His words We're confirmed by dense
volume of smoke which came rushing
down stairs. The upper story was III
flames. Plenty Of help was at hand,
however, and prompt action saved the
house. When the firemen arrived the
blaze was about extinguished The loss
was not heavy being limited to a mat
tress some bedding and window cur
tains which were burned.
The room contained heating stove
and the fire in some way, it is thought
communicated TO the bedding.

Arrested For Gar Jumping.

No less than five We're arrested yester-

walking or of stealing a ride. They i'm

one exception succeeded in securing
their clemency, and We're released on
the promise of paying the fine after
earning some money. The one that was
less fortunate however, was obliged to
produce the wherewithal-S5 and cost
before he was discharged.
The officers state, however, that from
now on no clemency will be shown and
that every person who jumps the cars
may expect to pay the penalty

ORDINANCE TO
Be ENFORCED
New Era Which Chief Mincemoyer Will
Inaugurate.

1t Is not at all reassuring to reflect up
on the manner in which the borough
ordinance is violated In few of its
provisions it amounts practically to
dead letter.
Chief-of-Police Mincemoyer yester-
day informed us that as far as his duties
relate to the situation with the present
he intends to inaugurate a new era in
which better order of things will pre-
vail in Danville. He has firmly resolv-
ed that the borough ordinance must be
enforced. In the past nuisances have
been maintained and practices, forbid
den, have been indulged in with un-
blushing effrontery- because there
was no effort made to combat the evils,
but because the lenient policy pursued
was Intellectual to upToOt them. Here
after, the Chief declares, no clemency
will be shown-that whoever violates
the ordinance does so at his risk and
may expect to pay the penalty. Among
the illegal practices heretofore sur
reptitiously much indulged in that shall
receive especial attention, the Chief
says, are card playing in public, drink
ing beer or other Intoxicating beverages
in alleys or on the river bank, loafng on
the street corners or in front of stores
and the depositing of garbage on the
river bank within the limits of the bor-
ough. The Chief will also be after those
merchants who neglect to remove their
goods from the sidewalks at six p. IN.
This, he says, is nuisance that causes
no end of complaint among pedestrians
and it will have to be abated.
