A Busy Day for Launches.

The two naphtha launches, pending
the completion of the free ferry, have
become important factors in the PAS
senger traffic between this city and
South Dauviile.
During the high west wind which
prevailed all day Saturday when none
of the row boats could safely venture
across, the little launches were as
busy as bees and filled with passengers
rode the big waves safely and made
the best of time.
As matter of fact the river has not
rolled up bigger waves in many years
than on Saturday. Several causes con-
spired to produce this effect. First,
the wind, which blew perfect gale,
swept directly up the stream; second,
the river was high atfording big vol
ume of water for the wind to act up
on In midstream the waves were such
as few could remember OF ever having
seen at this place. During the greater
part OF the afternoon none OF tue row
boats would venture to cross.
The launches although tossed about
on the waves like corks worked ad-
mirably, the propelling apparatus new
er once failing The crews, too, have
developed pretty fair seamanship and
the public were very glad that there
was one means left of getting across
the stream. \ few of the more timid
on reaching the river declined to ven
ture in the "heavy seas, - but those
who crossed enjoyed the experience of
being tossed about on the waves.
a large crowd Of people pretty much
all day might have been seen on either
shore watching the antics of the little
launches.

The Law Unconstitutional.

The law prohibiting the employment
of boys under fourteen years in and
about breakers, and of boys under six
teen inside the coal mines has been
declared unconstitutional a second
time by Judge O'Connor of Ebcns-
burg. There is general opposition to
the law among the bituminous miners,
and both decisions have been given by
judges in the bitumiuous section The
law is still enforced as strictly as ever
in this section.

TAMAQUA loses
TO DANVILLE

The largest crowd of the season as
sembled in the Armory on Saturday
night to witness the game of basket
ball between tho Danville High School
and Tamaqua The latter team has a
fine record and is supposed to be one
of the crack teams of this part of the
State Add to this the fact that our
own team has forged TO the front as
first class players and has been uni
formly piling up victories during the
winter and it will be seen that condi-
tions on Saturday night were favor
able for a battle royal.
This is precisely what the big crowd
expected to see and they were not dis
appointed. The visitors sustained their
reputation and showed some good
playing. especially Weaver and Rhub-
| eright who as goal throwers would be
| bulwarks of strength to any team.
| Their only disadvantage Saturday
night lay in the fact that they were
up against a better team and while
they scored 30 points our High School
! boys went several better and scored
3G. The contest was most of the time
! close and faster or more exciting
game has not been witnessed on the
Armory floor in a long time. The fine
work at passing the ball was feature
of the game. Barber had s goals to hi.
credit and he threw several of then
under circumstances decidedly ad

plause by a feat of dribbling the
ball.

OWNERS OF CANAL
HEARD FROM

The last obstacle in the way of TAX
ng down the canal bridges has now
been removed and this important i'm
provement will no doubt in short
time be under way.
The expected communication from
the d. l.. & W. Railroad Company
has arrived, approving of the bor-
ough's plans and granting it full per
mission to proceed with the work.
The communication, which fully sets
forth the attitude of the present own
ers toward the removal of the bridges,
is herewith presented in full:
Hoboken, N. J., April /. 1904.
Mr. II. B. Patton,
Danville, Pa.
Dear Sir:-I have your recent cor
IespoUdence i'll reference to the alb
andonment of the Mill street and the
Ferry street bridges at Danyille and
have had our Division Engineer, MI.
Ray, look into this proposition and lie
considers that an opening four feet III
width to the height of the canal would
be sufficient and it will be satisfact
ory to this company to have you ar.
range to fill up the canal bed and put
in an opening the size mentioned, the
understanding being that you have the
privilege of using the existing materl
al in the bridges at Mill and Ferry
streets as per the contract you ha6
with the Pennsylvania Canal Company
before this company purchased the
canal right of way.
Yours truly,
L. BUSH,
Chief Engineer
The question still remaining for the
! Borough to decide is whether to EN-
! ploy men and remove the bridges it
self or to give the work out unde
contract. The matter will no doub
come up for consideration at specia
meeting of Council tonight, whicl
| will be held for the purpose of givin3
property owners an opportunity t
state their objections, if any exist, t,
the street paving proposition.
