Superintendent =. J. Keefer is look
ing after the several water gates about
our streets where when necessary the
water may be turned off from different
parts of town. As measure of econ
omy when installed wooden boxes
were inserted over these gates. These
answered the purpose well enough for
some years, until they became rotten,
when they became source of dang
er to travel
One of these wooden boxes at Mill
and Bloom streets was dug out yester-
day and an iron box substituted .Ex-
cavation will next be begun to find an
other gate at the corner of Mill and
Northumberland streets At the latter
spot the wooden box has long since
rotted away. The ground had caved
in and the spot been loveIed over in
repairing the street Al the latter gate
an iron box will also be installed.

QUAY. penrose and the Ticket.

Senators Quay and Penrose have an
earnest sympathy for the men of the
anthracite region. 1t was this fact,
coupled with the receipt of nearly two
thousand letter by the United States
senator's, that led them to visit Presi-
dent Baer, of the Reading Railroad, in
the hope Of bringing the trouble to
speedy termination. Thus far all ef
forts have failed Governor Stone took
up the matter, but he, too. has failed
to bring about any change In existing
conditions. Miners and operators
seem determined to grant no conces-
sions and the settlement of the strike
now seems a long way off.

Livervmen BUSY,

Danville people believe in enjoying
themselves, fact which is attested
by the experience of liyerymen and
hackmen, who have had one of the
busiest seasons on record. One gentle
man yesterday stated that both of his
large hacks were engaged for every
day during ten weeks past. A rainy
day occasionally was all that he could
get to give his horses needed rest.
Hack parties are a feature of social
life in Danvillc that has impressed
many strangers. In none of our neigh
boring towns are they found to be so
numerous. Even at this season they
continue and may be seen daily driv-
ing out of town or returning. Bill
meyers Park, Washingtonville, seems
to be the most popular objective point.

PROTECTING BREAD-WINNERs.

1t was the Republican party in the
legislative session of 1874 that passed
a law in relation to suits for wages,
preventing stay of execution on judg
ments obtained for 800 or less.
1t was a Republican legislature that
appropriated the first money to aid in
the erection and maintenance Of an
anthracite hospital in Pennsylvania
This was in 1874.
England, with all its boasted civili-
zation Of centuries, is away behind
Pennsylvania in the protection of
women and children in their employ
ment. South Carolina today is blot
on the map of the south because of
its absence of laws prohibiting the
employment of children, and its lax
legislation regarding the employment
of women in various Industries. In
1878 one of the most stringent laws
enacted by any legislature related to
the employment of females in hotels
taverns, saloons and eating houses or
other places for the sale OF intoXicat-
ing and other drinks. IL was Penn
sylvania Republican legislature that
passed a law prohibiting female labor
In and about the coal mines and manu-
factories thereof, and for the preserva-
tion of the health of female employees
In manufacturing. mechanical and
mercantile establishments.
All through the years in which the
Republican party has been in power in
Pennsylvania II has endeavored to see
that full and ample justice has been
done by employers, whether firms, cor
Porations or individuals to the citizens
OF the state in their employ. 1t was at
the session OF 1878 that law was pass
ed fixing the standard weight of a bush
ell of bruminous coal. 1t was during
the session of 1881 that the law was
passed securing to operatives and la
borers engaged in and about coal
mines, manufactures of iron and steel
and all other manufactures, the pay
ment of their wages at regular inter
walls and in lawful money of the United
States
REGULAR PAY DAYS.
This is one Of the most important
laws ever enacted Middle-aged men
today remember the conditions that eX-
listed prior to the passage of this act.
Employees, often of large concerns,
were frequently deprivefA.f their earn
ings for from 30 to 60 ps; often only
paid in part and frequently with script,
store orders or other alleged equiva-
lents of value. The passage OF this
law made compulsory the payment to
every empIoye, every working man
and woman, the wages due him or her
in lawful money of the country and at
stated intervals

question of proposed tariff concessions
to Cuba for her sugar, tobacco and
other products are expected to bring
out an interesting discussion.

Cubans who favor the concession and
those who oppose it, in the name of the
beet sugar growers the American Beet
Sugar company, which is a corporation
ofrreflleTs, and the cane sugar growers
of Louisiana and Texas. ss
The Cubans base their petition to
congress upon two propositions:
First-The United States is under
moral obligations to aid Cuba in the
establishment OF prosperity in the
islands. so far as aid can be given
without injury to Am erican in dtlstry
Second-The commerce and indus.

USED oNLY on FoR FUEL:

4 First Steamship THAT Ever Crossed
the Atlantic without Coal.
The first steamship that ever crossed
i the Atlantic ocean with steam gener-
ated by means DC liquid fuel instead Of
coal has Just dropped anchor in the
] Delaware says the Philadelphia Press.
she Is the British tanker Clam, com
manded By Captain Evans, and Is own
ed in London by Samuels & 90. The
voyage was a success, but the Clam
had little Of her fuel oil left when she
reached her destination
The Clam has her machinery well
aft and is a massive looking craft. She
left Gravesend Nov. %, with $500 tons
Of oil as cargo and about $50 tons Of
fuel oil for her own consumption
About two years ago she went from
England to the far east and there en-
gagged in the Borneo oil trade to China
and Japan and while thus employed
steamed $1,000 miles using the liquid
fuel and thereby saving about one
half the quantity of coal required and
reducing the stokehole crew more than
one-haIf
The Clam is fitted with three ordi-
nary return tube boilers. The oil burn
ing apparatus consists Of steam gem
orator which atomizes the oil and dis
charges it into the furnaces. A fire
brick structure is fitted, upon which the
oil impinges SO as to secure complete.
combustion. One injector is fitted to
each furnace.
Captain Evans says that oil fuel is
profitable to steamship owners whose
vessel trade in districts far from coal
fields or where the cost Of transporta-
ton is Of Importance, especially in the
trade between the west coast of South
America and the United States:
Fuel oil has been burned with sue
cess for years by steamers trading on
the Caspian sea, and IN 1893 the Brit
ish tanker James Brand was built in
England to bum liquid fuel. she att
tempted to cross the Atlantic on her
maiden trip, generating steam by this
means, but after steaming less than
one-third$ of the distance coal had to be-
used. # ~
) The Clam has now established the
success Of oil as fuel by crossing the
Atlantic in the toughest season Of the
year and travelling in all nearly $4,000
miles with fuel oil. she will load a
return cargo Of Gil for England.
