A TROLLEY LINE
FOR DANVILLE

A charter was issued by the State De.
partmcnt Friday to the Danvillc and
Riverside Street Railway Company, to
build a line from Danvllo to South
Danvillc, thence to Riverside, dis.
tance of three milos. The members of
the Company are W. r. pascoo, W. A..
Heller and II. A. Pascoe of Allentown
g. p. Hancock and II. g. Angle of
| Danvillo.
A trolley line for our city is now as
surod The company just organized
will build the road from Danville to
South Danville and Riverside, expect
ing to extend the line to ShamoSin in
the very near future, This road with
the very probable extension of the Col
umbia and Montnur line from Blooms
burg to Danville will make Il continu
Gus thread of street car lines from
Scranton to Shamokin, n distance Of
nearly one hundred miles and will be
an important link in the glIdling of
the state by the street car.
Work on the extension Of the limo
from Berwick to Nanticokc will he
commenced at once :.nI = i ~2"a
that within a few mGlthS por ~
that road will be in operation. The
Berwick and Nanticokr Ioa viii ro"-
meet with the WiIkcsharro ard Wvom-
ing Valley lad at Plymouth giving a
continuous trolley System cf nearly one
hundred miles.
The Berwick and Nautitoke com
pany's tracks will start Mt the Berwick
terminus of the Columbia and Montour
Electric Railroad and will b. the con
Meeting link between that company
lines and the lines of the Wyoming
Valley Traction Company which gives
connection into New York State.
Starting at Berwick, whore ii is hop
cd to have belt for the convenience
of Berwick ians, the line will pass
through Beach Haven, Belbond, ShlCk
shiny, Hunlock's Creek and West
NantiCOkc, extending TO Plymouth,
where the tracks will connect with
those of the Wyoming Valley Tla0tion
Company.
The building of a trolley line in
Dunville and vicinity is of the greatest
Importance as a connecting link. And
"a factor in the transportation ser
vice in this section of the state it has
prominence that cannot ho ovcrrsti-
mated The work of building the road
will he commenced as soon rs the
necessary right of way is obtained. 1t
is now almost certainty that in n
worry few months the road will be in
operation and the people of this sec
tion will be enjoying the privileges /,

New Work at HOSPITAL,

1t now begins to look as if summon
would bc over before work will be be-
gun ON any of the improvements at
the Hospital for the Insane for which
money was appropriated by the last
Legislature.
The plans are all perfected and APP
proved 10y the trustees of tho Institu-
tion, but until they are passed upon
by the State Board of Public Charities
proposals for the new work cannot bo
invited. At the present season it is
said to be difficult to get the Board of
Charities together and no one seems to
have any idea when the necessary ac-
tion may be taken.
The portion of the work which con
corns our municipality the most is the
disposal of the Hospital sewage, which
still pollutes the river. That this pol
luton was considered a gigantic evil
is obvious enough otherwise the Leg
islatuIo would not have appropriated
money to remedy it. 1t is unfortunate,
therefore, that such long delay should
occur before the nuisance is ahatod

Unrbstone Market BEGINS Early

Those who wish to have the pick OF
produce brought into market must
arise early. Farmers begin to drive
into town shortly after o'clock. be
fore it is yet wholly light BY five
O'Clock selling Is in full blast and by
seven O'Clock here and there "A wagon
is sold out. BY eight O'Clock many
farmers have already left the market
and there Is no longer much lett that
is desirable in any of the commodities
on sale.
There is some complaint among pat
rons of the market on the score of
early hours 1t might he worth while
to inquire, however, whether the
townspeople are not equally response
bic with the farmer for the unscason-
able hour at which selling begins. Ex-
cept at the very busiest season 1t can
not be desirable for people living in
the country to arise long before day
light and start on tiresOmo drive TO
market and they would likely not do
so if they did not find buyers waiting
tor them Their interest demands that
they place their products in competi-
tion at an hour when buying is the
most brisk just as the patrons find it
to their interest to turn out early in
order to select the best.
1t is hardly likely that any reform
will occur in this matter The same
causes which operate here are Mt work
elsewhere and markets at an hour just
as unreasonable as here seem to be the
rule in all neighboring towns.
