SCHOOL BOARD
IN SESSION

a regular meeting of the School
Board was held Monday eve, Directors
Harpel, Greene, Pursel. Burns. Har-
ing, Werkheiser. Orth. Trumbo wcr,
Fischer, Adams and Jacobs being pres
ent
At previous meeting the attention
of the Board was called to the poor
heating facilities of the Second Ward
school house, which last year had to
be closed on several occasions on ac-
count of insufficient heat. Estimates
secured by the Building and Repair
Committee showed that the cost OF re-
pairs would be so enormous, that the
Board was of the opinion that new
furnaces would be more economical.
A bid was read from the Danvllle
Stove q Mfg. Co. offering to erect
three No. fl Beaver Furnaces, includ-
ing brick work and masonry, the fur
naCes to stand ready for firing, for
1874. 90. On motion the bid was aC
cepted and the furnaces ordered. The
furnaces in the Second Ward building
have been in use II years and have
outlived their usefulness.
The Secretary was ordered to notify
the janitors that hereafter they would
be expected to close the shutters on
all buildings every evening after the
schools have been dismissed. This
duty formerly devolved upon the teach
ers.
But one bid was received for the
calcimining of the eight rooms in the
Second and Third Ward buildings.
No action was taken in the matter.
The Secretary was ordered to adver-
tise for bids for the cleaning of the
various school houses.
The following bills were ordered

The Value of a Y. NJ. 9. A. Ticket.

\ membership ticket in the Young
Men ; Christian a Association is of more
value than most young men imagine,
and it would be wise thing for some
of the men of Danville to consider the
after of membership, especially if
they expect to visit other towns or
cities The plan, adopted by the AS
sociations throughout the country, to
acknowledge unexpired membership
tickets of other organizations of same
kind, is of the greatest benefit to young
men when away from home. A prac-
tical illustration of this comes to the
local Association through Mr.. Sidney
Cannard, Eho recently visited the
Worlds Fair, at St. Louis. He states
that his ticket was accepted for full
privileges at Buffalo, Chicago and st.
Louis, and that every courtesy was
shown him, not only in the use of
privileges at the various Association
Buildings, such as swimming pool,
baths, reading room, etc, but also in
the matter of finding comfortable
boarding places, restaurants and places
of interest.
One of the Danville Y. M. @. A.
members, who was in good standing at
home. could not use the privileges dur
ing visit to ST. Louis, because he did
not take ms Y. NJ @. A. ticket with
him 1t is wise thing for members
to keep these tickets in their pocket
as they are of value to the possessors
i'll many ways, especially when away
from home.

DANVILLE TO SUN.
BURY BY TROLLEY

The Danville and Sunbury Trolley
Company, new corporation to which
a charter was granted about ten days
ago, started the survey work at South
Danville Monday morning. The for
nation of this company was quietly
arranged in order to facilitate the pre-
lminary work aud the active opera
tions yesterday came in the nature of
a surprise 70 many residents on both
sides of the river.
Trolley service between this city and
Sunbury will be a boon to both towns.
1t means more business for Danville,
good service for the farmers and a
great convenience for the residents of
South Danvllle and Riverside.
Clyde G. Yetter, Esq, of Blooms
burg, is president of the company,
Isaac Hagenbuch of Bloomsbury, sec
retary and w. a. Heller of this city,
treasurer. The Directors of the COM
pany are G. p. Hancock of Danville,
James Coleman of Bloomsbury, Dr.
Wolf of Espy, Howard Weiss of Sieg-
fried and DR.. Riegel of Catasauqua.
In an interview with Mr.. Heller last
evening that gentleman stated that the
road will be pushed to completion as
rapidly as possible. He is hard at
work at present obtaining the right of
way and if everything goes smoothly
along this line and no unexpected OBJ
stacles arise, the new road will be un-
der way IN the early Fall. Mr.. Heller
is most earnest worker. He is man
of wide experience in the trolley bus
mess and his part in the successful
launching of the Danville and blooms
burg Trolley Company was by no
means a small one. 1t was work that
inspired confidence, and the enthusiasm
in which he has taken hold of the
Danville and Sunbury line augurs we'll
for its early completion.
No route has been definitely decid-
| ed upon and will not be known until
the survey has been completed. Mat
thew NJ. Reynolds of Bloomsbury is
in charge of this work. He is assisted
by +. Allen of Bloomsbury and John
German of this city.

Tightening On Ferry Gable.

County Commissioner G. w. Cook
yesterday succeeded in tightening VI
the ferry cable and as result the flat
boat last evening made better time
than during several days past.
The slack cable, which seemed to
sag nearly ten feet in the middle OF
the river, and the shallow current
which now has reached nearly low
water mark, both conspired to impair
the service of the ferry and the fiat
boat during yesterday forenoon made
very poor progress, indeed.
The County Commissioner and his
men by dint of very hard work sue
ceeded in raising the cable at least
eight feet at the lowest point and 1t
now is stretched across the river high
er than at.any time since the ferry was
established
The effect of the tight wire is quite
manifest in the increased speed of the

Putting on the Finishing Touches.

The Standard Construction Company
Yesterday be Ian the final cleaning up
of the trolley track which places it in
condition for traffic whenever the cars
are ready for running.
The earth, which was piled up over
the track after the rails we're laid, has
become beaten down as solid as any
other part of the street. This earth Is
now being carefully dug up down to a
level with the TOP of the rails and
carted over to Reifsnyder's cinder tip,
where it is dumped near the canal.
The special poles are being planted
all along Bloom street and the clean
ing up above described follows as the
finishing touch of the road. The street
as far as the work has progressed pres
ents very tidy and presentable ap-
pearance the only blemish lying in the
fact that the trolley track, which con-
forms with the established grade, lies
several inches below the general level
of the street, which was macadamiZed
to conform with former surveys. In
time it is understood that the street
is to be regarded TO conform with the
established grade but now soon Coun-
Gil intends to enter upon the work is
not known. In its present state IT may
prove difficult to drain the street prop
erly and damage is feared from wash
ing.
