Questions are being asked rs to the
prospects of receiving State aid for
repairs on the road leading from this
city to Mausdalc, application tor
which was made by the County Com
missioners early last spring.
The truth of the matter is THAT the
prospects are very poor Of receiving
state aid for this or any other road in
the near future
There are probably fow counties
which have not like Nontour, made
application for state aid i'm road build

very impcrfcctIy understood The
mere formahty Of applying it would

BAD FIRE
AT GROYANIA

The store and post office at Grovania
was destroyed by fire Saturday night,
the entire stock of goods and all the
mail matter going up in smoke.
The fire was plainly visible from
this city as we'll as from Bloomsbury
and Catawissa. G. ID. Garrison, who
owned the building destroyed, who
conducted the store and is postmaster
at Grovania, was in this city Sun
day morning TO representative of
the American he gave the folio y
ing account of the fire
The building burned was a two
story frame nearly new. In addition
to a store room % 40 feet there was
cOmmOdiOus residence portion, con-
tanning all the modern improvements
and finished in hard wood The dwell
ing rooms until recently occupied
were vacant at the time of the fire.
Mr. Garrison, the owner, who at
present lives at some distance from
the site of the store, was making ar
rangemcnts to remove into the build
ing.
1t happened on Saturday night that
II. arIy 'hr entire population of Gro
wanna w.Io attending festival at
Lazarus rhwcn Mr. Garrison says
that he kept his store and the post
oiica open until half past s O'Clock
when he closed up and joined IN, fam
lily at the festival
About 10 o'clork some one at the
fc-t tivaI SAW the fire Mr. Garrison's
attention being called to it hc became
fearful that it was his store and hur-
ricd home only to find that his worst
fears were true. The building was at
ready soothing mass OF flames never
thcless with "A few willing helpers Mr..
Garrison cssayed to save some of the
contents Of the building.
The front door was broken open and
show case dragged out but driven
back by the smoke the side door was
next attacked. Bursting into the build
ing here Mr.. Garrison made a dash
for his desk which contained his ac-
counts and many valuable papers.
Blinded and nearly suffocated by the
smoke hr succeeded in inserting the
key in the desk, but in the hurry and
excitement the key wa- broken and
h, companions succeeded in dragging
Mr. Garrison out of the store in time
to save his life.
The building WAS quickly consumed
together with its contents including
large stock Of goods, which enter into
a general store, all the mail matter,
hcsidcs some twenty five dollars worth
of stamps aud six or eight dollars in
cash hclonging TO the post office The
fire several times came very near
communicating TO "a nearby residence
owned by Mr. Mauser which was saw
ed only through the vigilance of
bucket brigade which kept it drench-
ed with water. As it was the paint
on the weather boards was blistercd
by the heat.
Mr. Garrison stated Sunday that
he carried an insurance. He has every
reason to believe, he says, that the
fro was the work Of an inccndiary.

Pile Driver Again at Work

\ large crowd assembled at the D..
l.. q W bridge below Mill street yes
terday afternoon TO witness the opera
ton of the big pile driver. 1t proved
most interesting object lesson As IL
Illustrating not only the labor saving
quality of human inventions, but also
the tact that there are certain kinds
of work which can not be accomplish
ed bv human hands unaided by machin-
cry.
The excavation has been sunk
twenty -one feet below the railroad
track. The trick is to drive the piles,
none of which are less than 30 feet
long and some - inches in diameter,
down into the bottom of the cXCava-
tion as far as they can bee forced. Oh
viuusly this is kind of work which
could not be accomplished without the
aid of Just such q mechanism as pile
driver, no matter how many men were
employed or how patiently they toiled.
After being rammcd into the earth
ten, twelve or fifteen feet as the case
may be, the pile is sawed off near the
ground when the heavy remaining
portion is lifted out of excavation 10y
the pile driver in the same way as the
log before being driven is dragged out
of the pile and swung around like a
straw by the huge machine until It
falls into proper position for receiving
the heavy drop hammer.
Forty piles will be driven into the
bottom of the excavation for the pur-
pose of furnishing sure and solid
foundation for the concrete abutmcnts
The pile drivers work was about half
completed last evening.
