A Woodsman's Bad Accident

Benjamin Woodbridge, who Is EN-
ployed by John Bodon on one of his
timber tracts in Rush township, met
with a very serious accident on Sat
urday forenoon
He was plying the axe in the woods
when the log which happened to be
frozen caused the axe 10 glance, the
entire width of the sharp blade Siuk-
ing deep into his left foot. The flow
Of blood was copious and it was at
once seen that the injury inflicted was
of very serious nature
Woolridge's companions at once
placed him upon one of the wagons IN
use at the woods and drove him with
all haste to this city where he was
taken to the office OF DR.. I. B. Win
tersteen. The injury was found to
consist of a deep cash extending over
the top and the side Of the foot from
the base of the second toe nearly to
the iustep.
The tendons of the second toe were
severed, which constitutes some ground
for fears whether the toe may not have
to be amputated al least. whether he
Will ever have any use of it. Had 1t
not been for the fact that he had on
heavy rubbers along with the other
footgear worn III the country, which
somewhat broke the force of the axe,
Nj. Woolridge thinks the injury would
have been much more serious and that
he would no doubt have lost the use
of his foot. over a dozen stitches
were required to enclose the wound.
The injured man was taken to the
home of his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth
Woodbridge, on Front street. 1t may be
many weeks before he will be able to
resume work.

Filtered Water at Hospital

TIE filter plant at the Hospital for
the Insane Is practically completed
aud By tomorrow the one thousand or
more people at that institution sill
know what it means to enjoy the lux
ury of filtered water. The Trustees
Will hold a special meeting for the
purpose of taking the filter plant of
the contractors hands.
As a companion to filtered water the
Trustees will next be obliged to take
up the matter of sewage, which ever
since the Hospital was built has pol
luted the river at this point. The ap-
preparation to the Hospital made by
the last legislature included $40, 600
for filtration plant and $l5, 600 for
the disposal of sewage.
The Trustees at once began to cast
about for some method of handling he
sewage which would divert it from
the river, but up to the present moth
ing has been positively decided up.
on The Wariug system as adopted at
NOrristown was investigated but it
found little favor with the trustees
The proposition which received the
most support was the laying of an IS
inch pipe from the Hospital along the
bottom of the canal through the bor-
ough connecting with the sewer OF the
latter at the aqueduct and in re-
turn for the privilege to grant to the
Borough permission to sell TO its Cltlz-
ems the right of connecting with the
Hospital sewer Permission to lay the
pipe had been practically obtained
from the Pennsylvania Canal Com
pany, although what effect the change
of ownership might have on the prop
osition is not known.
1t was learned yesterday from re-
! liable source that the idea of laying a
sewer in the canal has been practical
! ly abandoned by the Trustees and that
the Waring or some kindred system
may be selected for disposing OF the
sewage on the Hospital grounds.
Meanwhile the Susquchanna is be
ing polluted to an alarming extent,
the sewage from the immense institu.
tion draining into the river scarcely a
mile above the intake OF our water
| works. The state was liberal in it,
appropriation to afford relief and ne
news would be more gratifying to oul
/ citizens than that the disposal of sew
age would be the very first work en-
tored upon by the Trustees whel

BLOONSBUR Re
TOOK THE GAME

4 large crowd which occupied all
the seating capacity and a portion OF
the standing room assembled in the
Armory last night to witness a battle
royal between the Old Timers of Dan
willie and the Old Timers of Blooms
burg
1t proved to be q good game on the
whole, although Danville lost, the
score being p to 10 in favor of Blooms
burg. The game in the start was OF
the snappy sort, which fills an audience
with delight.
The first goal was thrown by Blooms
burg and Bloomsbury kept on throw
ing them, while Dauville fell into the
rear The latter's deficiency was ac-
counted for on the ground that they
were unused to playing together. To
make matters worse during the first
half Sechler Mt guard injured his foot
and had to retire Dougharty took his
place.
1t was not until toward the close of
the last half that Dauville got rightly
into the game, Bedea, Russell and
Dougherty each IN quick Succession
throwing goal. Russell'S goal,
which was thrown from the center Of
the field. was one of the features of the
game.
The visitors are skillfuI and expert
enced players and their work was the
best seen III this city for long time.

SCHOOL, BOARD
MEETING

one of the latest problems that the
/ School Board has to deal with is how
( 10 keep the pupils supplied with drink
! ing water During the later part of
1 last week the service pipe at the First
Ward school froze, which shut off the
water from that building Yesterday
J the same thing occurred in the Fourth
Ward, and that school building is with
out water. How long it will be before
the Second and Third Ward school
buildings follow suit no one can tell.
The matter was discussed at length
at the regular meeting of the School
Board Monday 1t was the sense of
the Board that it would not pay to
thaw the pipes out, as in all probabiI-
ity they would freeze again in short
time. The digging would be big
item and the total cost might not be
less than $25.
Borough Superintendent Gordy re-
ported that James Shultz had kindly
granted the First Ward schools per
mission to get water on his premises.
The Superintendent favored the plan
of employing a boy to carry water for
the whole building, fixing, the limit at
Is buckets per day, which would give
each of the rooms two buckets, one in
the forenoon and the other in the after
noon 1t was also recommended that
the same plan he adopted in the
Fourth Ward.
On motion of Mr. Pursel it was or
dered that boy be employed at each
of the school buildings where the pipes
are frozen to carry water as recon-
mended by the Superintendent.
On motion of Mr.. Fischer the use of
the High School room was granted to
the Senior class one night each week
between April 1st and the end Of the
term.
On motion Of Mr. Werkheiser Super
intendent Gordy was granted permits
sion to attend the Convention of the
Superintendents of the State, which
will be held at Norristown March 9th
and 10th.
Mr.. Greene called attention to the
old school house on Center street.
which, he said, was fast going to de-
struction He knew of man who
wanted to buy it and raised the ques-
tion why it could not be sold.
Mr. Fischer said the matter had been
before the Board before and that com
plications were discovered which made
it advisable to keep hands off. As the
building is no longer used for school
purpose it is question whether the
land does not revert to the original
owners. On motion the matter was
laid upon the table.
Superintendent Gordy said that
many requests by patrons had been
made of him asking that the pupils be
permitted to 90 TO the river when the
ice moves. He asked for the sentiment
of the Board on the subject.
After discussion il was decided that
the pupils who present notes from
their parents will have to be granted
permission to leave bat that all others
should be kept in school.
On motion Seth Lormor was elected
jauitor of the Third Ward school
building for the remainder of the term.
The following members were pres
ent Keefer, Ortiz Greene, Pursel
Harpel, Werkheiser Fischer and

have decided to put the price Of ad-

reason that this season the sale Of
