WILLIAM SECHLER'S
BAD INJURY

William Sechler, son of Former
Councilman George r. Sechler, met
with bad accident at the Reading
Iron Works about 10 O'Clock Monday
morning.
He was assisting to pull steel bill
let out Of one of the heating furnaces.
The billet was Of the largest sort
weighing something over four hundred
pounds. Three men had hold Of the
billet, Mr.. Sechler standing in the
middle. Under the united strength
Of the men the billet came out of the
furnace with such impetus that it slid
off the buggy, the sharp edge striking
Mr.. Sechler upon the heel, cutting
through his clothing and lacerating
the flesh in shocking manner. He
had no use whatever Of his foot and
was unable 10 walk.
The injured man was carried to the
Office Of DR.. ]. r. Kimerer, where an
examination revealed that the large
OF tliO ICCAb hhOM Ii dS thC tu-
don Of Achilles, which controls the
movement Of the foot was completely
severed
Serious as such an accident proves
to be surgeons are generally able to
sew the ends of the severed tendon to-
gether, so that they reunite. For
awhile lame limb may result but
eventually all stiffness and inconveni-
ence passes away and there is full
recovery.
A cab was ordered and Mr.. Sechler
was driven to the home of his father
on West Mahoning street. Here DR..
Cameron Shultz was called in to as
sist DR.. Kimerer. 1t was no easy
matter to sew the tendon, as one of
the ends had contracted and seemed
out of reach. A good deal of cutting
therefore was necessary which render
ed the operation very tedious and diff
cult. The tendon was finally sewed
together, however, and all the feat
ures Of the case at present are very en-
couraging, although the injured man
may be unable to walk for long
time TO come.

THE BOARD
OF TRADE

The Board of Trade held a meeting
in Council chamber Monday, with
President j. II. Goeser in the chair.
There were some thirty members
present.
Two communications from concerns
which desire to change location were
read before the Board. One of these
was from the promoters of the Car
pet Lining" industry, who seem very
anxious to come to Danville. They
are now ready to present PROPOSE
tion. The president appointed G. P.
Hancock, J. B. Cleaver and G. p
Murray committee to investigate
the merits Of the new industry.
The other communication, which
was from the Peerless Piano Play
er" Company, showed the proposed
industry to be one Of mammoth proper
tions, which would eventually en-
ploy some 700 hands. The cost of the
buildings would approximate $l75,-
900. No action was taken relative to
this industry.
The amendments to the constitution
and bylaws as proposed by the COM
mittee appointed to revise the same
were adopted on first reading.
Vice President Youngman reported
that through the efforts of the men,
bers of the Board of Trade the stock
for the RemPe Clock Company has all
been raised.
The president appointed the follow
ing committee:

WARDED THE
CONTRACT

George Reif5ny der at regu lar
meeting of the School Board Monpay
night was awarded the contract for
building the annex to the High school
building
The Building aid tiepair Committee
presented "A report of its meeting on
Tuesday night last ut which they
adopted the specifications for the an
mex. The board at a previous meet
ing had decided that hot water sys-
tenn should be employed in heating
the new portion. The committee ex-
planned that they found the specifica-
tions unspited to that method of heat
ing and that they were assured by
Architect Brugler that hot water
would be found impracticable for
warming the annex, as it made no
provisions whatever for ventilation.
In view of these facts the committee
after adopting the specifications rec
commended to tho Board that the ac-
tion of the previous meeting relating
to hot water be rescinded
On motion the report of the Build
ing and Repair Committee was accept
ed, after which on motion of Mr..
Keefer, it was ordered that the annex
be heated with hot air.
The bids for building were then
opened. They were only two in num-
ber. George Reifsnyder agreed to
build the annex according to specifi
cations for the sum of S6345. S. NJ.
Trumbower was the other bidder, his
figures being $69l7.
Mr.. Keefer m owed that the contract
be awarded to Mr.. Reifsnyder as the
lowest bidder. The motion carried
unanimously, the following members
voting yea: Barber, Orth, Green,
Burger. Redding, Werkheiser, Rock
afeller. Fischer, Keefer and Harpel.
The discovery was then made that
several bids had been presented foI
heating the annex, This brought up
the subject of heating and the claims
of rival concerns and the matter pro-
we'd more vexatious If not mrre i'm
portant than the awarding of contracts
for building.
W. s. Carpenter representing the
B. G.. Carpenter Company of Wilkes
barre, was present in the interest of
his heating system. The Danville
Stove & Manufacturing Company had
also a representative at the meeting.
Bids had not been invited for heating
and the Board was not ready to act
on this matter. Nearly an hour. how
ever, was spent in discussing the sub
ject. Mr.. Carpenter explained the
merits of his system, which he said,
is wholly up-to-date embracing many
improvements over other systems of
its kind, which provides for ventila
ton as we'll as heating 1t had the
endorsement of Mr. Brugler, who
affirmed, however, that the specifica
tions would admit of almost any heat
ing and ventilating system.
Mr.. Bowyer OF the Danville Stove
Works explained that his company
had examined the specifications and
that they believed their warm air fur
mace would answer. If necessary in
order to heat the building they would
install two furnaces side by side.
1t was finally decided to postpone
awarding contracts for heating until
the next meeting. Meanwhile bids
are to be formally invited to the end
that all who may desire to enter into
competition for heating may have an
opportunity to get into line.

Cancelled Danville Engagement.

The Ithaca band which was booked
to appear here under the auspices Of
the Friendship fire company have can
celled their engagement. Owing to
the bands n-appearance at Blooms
burg on Tuesday evening the commit
tee in charge telegraphed to the con-
ductor, Patrick Conway, yesterday
morning In his reply Mr.. Conway
stated that the booking agent had or
ders to notify the Fire company of can
collation.. No reason has been given
for the abandonment Of this tour. 1t is
a great disappointment to many of our
people. There would have been a
large audience as over hundred peo-
pie applied for reserved seats yesterday
morning. Arrangements will be made
at once to return the money to the

HAadnnartars III DanVille.

The Salvation Army is preparing to
make Danville the headquarters for
this district and the officers in charge
here will hold meetings at Outpost"
Sunbury, Milton, Lewisburg and Ber-
wick. Owing to the great demand for
competent workers the Army has been
unable to furnish enough officers for
the many places and will for time

in the line of "circle duty" and will
be looked after by Captain Lewis and
her assistants. Sunbury, Milton and
Lewisburg have had officers in the
past and the barracks are still open.

OYSTER Season Near Close.

place of honor held by this cold
