The Base Ball Season,

From present indications il would
seem that tine base ball season so far
as the "Old Timers are concerned is
virtually closed in Danville
During cOnycTs ItiOn yesterday
afternoon Manager Sam \. Mccoy
stated that while his club might play
game at Sunbury and at Berwick it
did not seem probable that another
game would be played i'll DanyilIe
this season. Remembering the losses
sustained even in the games which
ought to have drawn ne does not feel
encouraged 10 arrange for another
game. II Danyille could roly on a
patronage such as was accorded to
Bloomsbury Tuesday when our team
crossed bats with Wilmington \. A
he says ii would pay to book almost
any team no matter how expensive and
take tine risks.
That the Danville Base Ball As
sociation at the close Of the season
finds itsolf struggling with detici-
cncy is perhaps not owing wholly to
any one cause The fact is incOntrO-
vertible that there are in Danvillc u
good many lovers of base ball who are
willing to pay for seeing good game.

BRICK PAVEMENT
FOR STATION

Work yesterday was begun at the
Pennsylvania Station, South Danville,
on the vitritied brick pavement, which
is to supplant the platform and gravel
walks on the railroad property.
At intervals for some time past the
railroad company has been unloading
material at the station for this i'm
provement consisting of thirty four
thousand vitrified brick a large quaint
ity Of stone for retaining wall and
coping and cinder. sand etc. for fill
ing up and for ballast.
The brick pavement will entirely
surround the station and extend from
the western end of the platform to the
watch box near the crossing. The
platform has done service for a long
time and many of the planks are rot
ten; the gravel walk adjoining, while
satisfactory enough during dry wealth
er in times Of rain proves objection
able to pedestrians who come and go
at the station. The fine sweep of brick
pavement, therefore, which will cover
every foot of platform and gravel will
add to the comfort of our citizens who
travel ON the Pennsylvania line and

Extracting Coal From the River

K. p. LeDuC Is con itructlng large
fiat boat to be used in connection with
his coal digger III extracting coal from
the Susquehanna.
The coal digger has been idle for "a
few days, but rs soon as the fiat boat
is completed Mr.. LeDuc will start
down the river on another cruise.
The fiat boat, into which the coal
will be loaded as fast as raised from
the river, will take the place OF two
small boats, previously used for this
purpose The small boats, which
held only few tons, retarded the
work very much owing to the time
lost in frequent trips ashore tor the
purpose or unloading. The new flat
boat will hold all the coal that can be
gathered in one day, so that full time
can be put in in the actual work of
digging.
Mr.. LeDuc has already extracted up.
wards of two hundred tons of river
coal. This is much more than he
needs for use at his green houses and
he is selling the excess. Among the
concerns which are being supplied by
Mr.. LeDuc are the Water Works and
Danville Milling Company's plant.
River coal is sure of steady demand
among our industries, the Structural
Tubing Works, among others con.
suming large quantities. The coal
over and above what Mr.. LeDuC can
supply is shipped from Sunbury

To Bride the Susquehanna.

A gigantic scheme to bride the Sus-
quehanna and to CentraliZe the gener-
ating power OF the electric light sys-
TENS from ShamOkin to Willismsport
is being launched by the West Branch
Electric Company, incorporated under
the laws of New Jersey, with capital
stock of So, 600, 900, and fathered by
men of immense resources.
While the scheme is gigantic i'll its
proportions, yet it is claimed to be
thoroughly practicable by those in
torested. AT Sunbury a central electric
light plant will be erected and its
power will be supplied by the Susque-
hanna river.
The new company has secured option
on more than twenty electric light
plants and systems, including the two
Shamokin companies.
If the scheme is carried to success
ful issue, the cost of electric lights
will be materially decreased, as the
cost of producing the current will be
losscned by about so per cent. on &C
count of the power to produce costing
absolutely nothing.
In the scheme wealthy men from all
towns to be effected are interested.

Cooler Weather 0rming.

The hot wave Is still with US. Not
withstanding that we were promised
cooler weather there was no relief dur
ing yesterday Even during last even
ing long after the sun had disappeared
heat and humidity united to make
humanity uncomfortable
While all classes suffered from the
heat, it was especially hard on the
school children, " who IN many instances
are shut OH from drauRhts of air and
required TO work pretty diligently at
their lessons Owing to the heat some
Of the smaller pupils were dismissed "A

The forecast predicts cooler weather
for today. With eighteen inches of

ing 10 death in Dakota, the present
weather here Is remarkable and a
change would seem TO be inevitable.

REMOVAL Of
SLAUGHTER HOUSES

Some OF Our butchers are disposed 10
view the resolution adopted by the
Board OF Health and endorsed by
Council relative to the removal of the
slaughter houses outside the Borough
as very unjust measure.
One of the butchers who maintains
the largest slaughter house of the lot
voiced the sentiment of the others
during a brief conversation with
representative of this paper yes
terday. Speaking for himself he said,
the removal of his slaughter house
would entail upon him an expense by
no means justified by his business at
this day He took the view that the
Borough, il determined that the res
olution must be carried out, consist
ent with justice could do no less than
bear wholly or in part the expense OF
removing the slaughter houses. His
plant, with improvements, practically
fiIeproOf and equipped with costly re-
frigerator and ice house, he consid-
ers worth at least five thousand dol
lars. He did not think there was q
contractor who would undertake its
removal for less than one thousand
dollars. Then came the impOssibility
of finding convenient site outside
the Borough to say nothing Of the eX-
orbitant price that he might be OBJ
liged 10 pay for it.
The present site in the Borough, he
said, has been occupied by slaughter
houses for forty years. The present
building alone has stood there for
thirty years. Under proper regula-
tions, he held, the slaughter houses
are not menace to public health and
that there was not a case of disease
which could be traced TO them. In
asmuch as the Borough sells the butch
ers water he can not understand why
slaughter houses will not be permit
ed TO connect with the new sewer.
which. it is plain, would solve the
whole difficulty.
The Board of Health last Spring
adopted a resolution ordering the
butchers TO remove the slaughter
houses outside the borough limits
within sixty days after June lst. The
latter failing to comply the Board Of
Health held another meeting on Aug.
26 and adopted a resolution to the
effect that unless the order was com
piled with and slaughter houses i'm
mediately removed legal proceedings
would be instituted to abate the nuis-
ance. This resolution was endorsed
by Council at its last meeting on the
4th inst.
Nearly two weeks have passed and
the butchers have taken no action
looking to removal. What action
Council Will take next in dealing with
the question remains TO be seen.

WILL PAVE
MILL STREET

Unless all plans miscarry street paw
ing and the establishment OF "A trolley
will come to Danville at the same
time and the date of the double i'm
provement will be in the near future
Some action looking to the adoption
OF the ordinance for paving at least as
far as Mill street is concerned will in
all probability be taken at the next
meeting of Council Amos Vastine,
president OF Council, Saturday stated
that the members are practically to-
gether in the matter OF paving Mill
street that by proceeding with the work
simultaneously with the building of
the street railway, which will pave
nine feet, with what assistance comes
from the property owners the Borough
will have an opportunity OF securing
a much needed Improvement at COM
paratively small outlay of money. The
franchise ordinance adopted by Coun-
ell and now signed by the Burgess
ObllRtS ltlt lJdilN lllt NANti'AH'
street railway company, whenever the
Borough by proper ordinance resolves
to pave its streets to lay pavement
of the same material between the rails
and two feet in width on the outer
side of each, while one third of the
street on each side will have to be
paved by the owners of property on
which it abuts. The small portion OF
the street left for the Borough to pave
would hardly weigh as nn item of ex-
pense in view of the benefits 10 be de
rived from the whole.
In the premises Council looks for no
from tax payers and feels
that il would be showing lack of
good Judgment and business enterprise
il it did not proceed with the paving
OF Mill street, which embraces the
business portion OF the town.
Mr. Vastine states that as soon as
the Borough adopts an ordinance for
street paving the Danville and Rivcr-
side Street Railway Company will
proceed TO lay its tracks on Mill
street
