Montour American. (Danville, Pa.) 1866-1920, 1903-03-12

The committee appointed to canvass
the town in the interest Of the new
Board of Trade put in another busy
day yesterday adding 30 additional
names which brings the entire number
enrolled up to ll3.
This will constitute very big
Board of Trade-much larger than was
dreamed of when the project was set
on foot The fact has been remarked
upon, too, that the names without ex-
ception are those of responsible and
representative people, who when they
assume an obligation may be relied
upon to faithfully discharge the same.
The committee has hopes of adding
a few more names, but this is imma-
terial, as the number already enrolled
as members is sufficiently large to
bring about without any loss of time
all that the Board of Trade sets out to
accomplish.
1t now devolves upon those who
have subscribed to keep their interest
in the movement alive and on Monday
evening next to present themselves at
the meeting to be held in the Council
Chamber for the purpose Of reorganiz-
ing the Board of Trade.
1t is important that the new Board
of Trade should get down to work
with as little delay as possible. There
are new industries to be obtained that
are we'll worth cOntcnding for, and
competition among the different towns
bidding will be found very sharp.
Danville has many and marked ad-
vantages as a manufacturing town. In
several respects at least it leaves a
number of our neig igEboring municipali-
ties i'll the shade. Among the features
which commend it are low taxes and
cheap rents, an abundant water supply
with an excellent system of water
works and one of the finest and most
approved filter plants To be found in
this section of the State, to say nothing
of its situation, which is in close proX-
unity to the coal regions, upon three
great railroad systems, the Pennsyl
vania, the p e. r. and the d. L. e
w. 1t will devolve upon the new
Board of Trade to properly bring these
facts to the attention of those interest
ed in the location of new industries
and there is no doubt that in many in
stances at least Danyille will have the
preference over other places.

Boy Struck by a Stone.

Master Frank Slider, son Of Register
and Recorder w. L. Slider. sustained
an injury Tuesday evening, which
came within an ace of destroying his
left eye
Just after school no was playing in
the alley adjoining the school grounds
at the roar of James Shultz' barn
when a stone thrown by another boy
struck him just above the left eye, in
fiicting an ugly cash, which bled pro
fusely. The little fellow was taken to
his home, where he was given surgical
attention by DR.. Wintersteen.
Had the blow fallen an inch lower,
the stone would have struck the boy
squaroly in the eye, beyond a doubt
producing blindness 1t is but another
illustration of what may follow as a
result of the abominable practice of
throwing stones, which Is INDUCED
in so much by school children.
Frank was unable to attend school
yesterday owing to his injury.

| THRILLING
SPECTACLE

A street accident, in which one bug
gv ran into another and the occupants
of both vehicles were precipitated in
to the street afforded a thrilling
spectacle i'll this city Monday.
1t was about half past II O'Clock,
when Mr.. and Mrs Cornelius Brown,
who reside near Union Corner, came
driving up Mill street in a Thaeton,
followed at some distance by Veterin-
arian J. O. Reed in another buggy
Just as the first buggy was approach
ing the crossing at the Brown build
| ing, the horse driven by DR.. Reed, then
upon the canal bridge, took fright and
began to run.
Beyond the control of the Veterin-
arian the horse dashed up the street
at rapid pace. When opposite Mark S
restaurant the right front wheel of
DR.. Reeds buggy caught the left hind
wheel of the phaeton.
1t was at this point that thrilling
spectacle was witnessed. Mr.. Brown :
vehicle was thrown over on its side;
Mrs. Brown and her husband were
hurled headIoug out into the street,
the former falling face downward III
the mud and the latter falling in
similar position across her body. Sim
ultaneously, DR.. Reed unable to keep
his seat when the shock occurred flew
into the street alighting upon his feet,
but unable to stand under the impetus
fell PROSTATE in the gutter near Lees
photograph gallery.
There were number of eye wit
nesses, all of whom flew to the assist
ance of those in the runaway. Mr.. and
Mrs. Brown were assisted to their feet
and taken into Hotel Oliver. Mrs.
Brown was slightly injured about the
hand, but beyond this both she and
her husband escaped any injury worth
DR.. Reed sustained an
injury about the back, which however,
is not considered serious.
The horse driven by Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown was quiet animal and made
no attempt to escape. DR.. Reeds !
buggy was also upset as result of |
the clash, but later regained its wheels |
as the runaway horse dashed up the |
street. At the Racket store the animal |
swerved over to the pavement and the |
wheel struck the awning post with |
such force as to bend it far out of per-
Continuing his flight up |
Mill street the runaway horse turned |
down West Mahoning street where the |
buggy again collided with post near |
DR.. Gearhart's dental office. Before |
the horse could extricate himself he |
was caught by Harry Hart and turned !
over to the owner DR.. Reeds buggy |
was badly broken, especially about the |
shafts and dashboard. Mr.. Browns We
hicle however, is in much worse con-
dition, the shafts, dashboard, one |
wheel and the top being total wreck. |
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown reside as ten
ants on the farm of Hugh Vastine
who resides at South Danville. They |
had been to Northumberland and were
driving through town on their way
home when the accident occurred.

Swallow Expects No Rebuke.

DR.. S. @. Swallow, the fighting par
son, in an interview said that he did
not expect to be reproved at the coming
Methodist conference, despite the fact
that the last conference directed that
such punishment should be meted out
to him. He added that Bishop Merrill,
is the author of manual that says
that reproof is unconstitutional, illeg-
al, undisciplinary and subversive of
personal liberty.

BOARD Of TRADE
ASSURED

Some forty of our most active bust
ness men convened in the Council
chamber Monday III response to the
call for citizens meeting to effect a
reorganization of the Board of Trade
The meeting was characterized by an
earnestness and a willingness to get
down to work that augurs we'll for the
success of the whole undertaking.
The assemblage was called to order
by John H. Goeser, president of the
old Board of Trade, who after dwell
ing at some length upon the necessity
of acquiring new industries outlined
a plan of work. He admitted that the
Board of Trade had not been very ac
tive during the last couple of years,
although he was by no means ashamed
of what it had accomplished in its
tima, as it must be admitted that it
was in no small degree instrumental
i'll bringing two good industries to
Danville. He felt however, that in
facing the present emergency it was
highly necessary to infuse some young
blood into the organization.
1t was for this purpose that the
meeting was called, which was to COM
prise purely temporary organiza-
tion. He proposed that a committee
be appointed to canvass the town for
subscribers, who would constitute a
new Board of Trade, these to meet in
Council chamber next Monday night
to effect a permanent organization.
He proposed that each subscriber
pledge himself to pay the sum of s.
annually to meet the expenses of the
organization.
Mr.. Goeser's plan seemed to meet
the approval of those present and on
motion W. V. Oglesby, ESQ, and Sam
A. Mccoy, were appointed a commit
tee to solicit subscribers. A paper was
drawn up and the committee proceed
ed at once to wait upon those i'll the
room. 1t met with a most ready re-
sponse and in a few minutes time
twenty-siX names were procured. The
paper with the signatures is as fol-
lows
We, the undersigned, desiring to
organize a Board of Trade of Danville
do subscribe ourselves as members of
the same. In order that the expense
of the organization may be properly
met we do severally agree to pay the
annual sum of five dollars as long as
we remain members of the Board of
Trade, said sum or so much thereof as
may be required to be paid by assess
ment.
MI. GOeser called attention to the
new industry, described i'll these col
umns last week, which might be Sc
cured for Danville. There is another
industry, however, OF much more i'm
portance which will be brought to the |
of the new Board immedi-
ately after reorganization.
The meeting adjourned at 8 AS |
O'Clock to re-Convene on Monday night |
next, when all the subscribers are ex-
pected to be present. A re. organiza-
ton will then be effected, after which |
the Board of Trade will Immediately |
get down to business.

CHULASKEY
CISDER TIP

The deal on foot between Scranton
firm and b. r. Gearhart of this city,
| involving the purchase of the big
| clnder tip at Chulaskey, which was
described in these columns some
months ago, has been fully consum-
mated; the Scranton people are now
the owners of the cinder and will pro.
ceed Immediately to install a crusher
and build a switch.
The origin of the Chulaskey cinder
tip dates back no doubt to the mid
die OF the last century. 1t is one of
the largest as we'll as the oldest de-
pOSlts Of cinder to be found in this
section and conveys good idea of the
enormous aggregate of pig iron pro-
duced by the Chulaskey furnace dur
ing It's long history.
The cinder tip is supposed to con-
tain a great deal of iron, which is
included in the deal, the whole hav-
ing been purchased Oh royalty. Up
to comparatively recent period Gin
der was supposed to have only nomin-
al value, if any at all, and was gen
orally regarded an incumbrance. But
Mr. Gearhart's royalty, which is only
a share Of the profit, is a considerable
item in itself and will run into a good
deal of money before the cinder tip is
exhausted.
The cinder will be used for ballast
on railroad line between Carbondale
and Pittston. 1t will have to be re-
duced to uniform size suitable for
this purpose and to this end a crusher
will be installed at the tip. The
cinder is located within a few yards
of the d. L. & ". railroad. A switch
will be constructed, after which the
crushed cinder can be shipped directly
TO its destination

YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET.
Closed Fir m and Active mt the Top
 Level.


 Level.
 New York. May 21.-There was a short, sharp conflict between the con- tending elements in the stock market this morning with very feverish f1uctua- tions during the first hour. The pres- sure to sell fairly overcamc the market at one time and carried the level of prices to new low record for the move ment below last night. But the sup porting orders. which were in evidence on large scale, from the start, absorb ed all offerings until the pressure to sell had spent itself and the decline was ef- fectually checked. Half the days total transactions were done in the first hour. l Afterwards there was a slow but in- | creasing upward movement and the l market closed firm and quite active at the top level. There was continuance of important liquidation from the first hour as shown by the large and con- centrated selling in St. Paul, the United States Steel stocks and some of the Can adian stocks. which suffered In yester- days speculative collapse. The selling of the United States Steel stocks was based upon the somewhat equivocal | tone of the weekly iron trade review by an authority in that trade. A down. ward tendency in many branches of the l trade is pointed out. The selling of St. Paul was believed to be for important interests. owing to its volume and 1t was feared that the demands of freight handlers in the northwest carried a threat of serious trouble. The weakness of Northern Securities on the club and l selling of the Burlington joint bonds were attributed to the same cause. But the confidence with which the heavy of- ferings thrown upon the market were ! absorbed served to relieve the fears of a wiping out of margins and shrinkage of collaterals which have aggravated the l weakness of the market for several days past An important factor in the SUD- port of the market was the heavy buy i ing for London account. The reduction of the bank Of England discount rate from 4 to 3k per cent. was the basis of | the improved tone of the English spec ulation. Finally the decided reaction in the cotton market served as a restora- tive of confidence and relieved the pres- sure Of licuidation of stocks to cover losses by the shorts fin cotton. The market lost much os It's animation on the upward course end the days net advance failed to wip out entirely yes- terday's losses. But the demand was well maintained at the higher level. A feature of the day was some further de- clines in the marketing of inactive stocks
 The bond market was irregular. Total sales par value, $2, ,650,O0O.
 United States bonds were all un- changed on the last call.

The International Sunshine society opened its three days annual meeting yesterday morning at 10 o'clock at the Waldorf-Astorfa, New York. Quite a delegation left yesterday morning from New Haven, with Mrs. W. J. Andrews, the president, at it's head. New Haven has fourteen hundred members in this society, which is frequently confounded with the younger and smaller one, the Elm City branch of the Tribune society, formed last fall. In the state of Con- necticut are eighteen branches of the international society, with a total mem bership of 10000. Mrs. Andrews Is the state president and is relative of Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden, president of the international society and the foun- der of the Sunshine movement in the country.
