The New York Press has conceived a fine
idea for the printing of war news that
should recommend itself 30 yellow journal

comments on the fact that some contempo-
raries have been using poster type so long
to attract attention to matters of no con-
sequence that the same type fails to arouse
interest in the progress of the war They
have saved nothing larger for the big news
The suggestion offered is this: Adopt two
colors-yellow for Japan and purple for
Russia. If Japan is ahead to-day print the
scare heads in yellow ink; if Russia is on
top. print them in purple. This, thinks the

the Esplanade at the water front was
wiped out and the fire spread on We'll
| lington and Front streets and the

MAY ADOPT
STEAM POWER

The ferry put in full day yester.
day. Trips were made regularly and
in addition to the usual number of
foot passengers a good many horses
and vehicles OF various sorts were
transported. During several trips the
fiat was crowded with teams.
The toat is now equipped with a
substantial iron railing, which insures
greater security to teams in crossing.
New lee boards of greater capacity
have also been added, which give the
ferry more drsught and increases the
speed. While repairs were in progress
a trip was made about noon yesterday
without lee boards. Very slow prog
ress was made until the middle of the
stream was reached when the ferry
came to standstilI. One of the buses
and several other top vehicles were on
board which presented quite resist
ance to the strong wind blowing and
helped to stop the boat by counteract-
ing the force of the current During
the afternoon the new lee boards were
installed and further trouble was OBJ
waited, the ferry easily making trips
| from shore to shore in six minutes.
Gearhart township had several teams
employed yesterday in hauling gravel
for the landing on that side. The stone
carried from the pier by the coal dig
ger on Monday were used as founda-
tion at the waters edge, where the
ground is very soft. The gravel haul
ed yesterday was used in connection
with the stone in completing the road
down to the ferry. The landing is
now in fairly good state and is pro.
nounced by those who cross with wag.
ons as in much better condition than
the landing on the Danville side.
The County Commissioners of Mon
tour and Northumberland counties
will hold joint meeting in this city
today at which proposition from the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company will
be considered looking to the adoption
OF steam as motive power for opeIat.

not been made known but the plan is

FAMILY HAD A
NARROW ESCAPE

Shortly before three O'Clock Monday
morning the members of the family of
John Smith, who reside on the Samuel
G. Savidge farm, in Upper Augusta
township, Northumberland county
about three miles from Sunbury, dis.
covered that the house was on fire and
so rapidly had the flames spread that
the family had narrow escape from
meeting a horrible death, being forced
to fee in their night clothing.
How the fire originated is mystery.
During Sunday wood fire was kept
burning in the house but at the ap-
proach of evening the fire was allow
ed to die out and it is hard to believe
that the building caught from this fire
in the stove. Some people residing
near by are of the belief that the
building was set on fire by some un-
known party, but reasons leading to
such an act cannot be given or imagin.
| ed
The members of the family made
their escape from the burning house
just in time for it was but a shor
time afterwards when the entire
structure was a seething mass o.
flames. So rapidly did the fire burr
that it was utterly impossible to save
anything from the house and Mr.
Smith suffered the loss of all OF hi
household goods and everything tina
was in the house at the time. To ado
to Mr. Smiths misfortune is the fac
that he carried no insurance and hit
loss is a very severe blow.
An effort was made to extinguish til,
fire but it had gained such head way
that it was soon beyond all power o.
control The members of the Smith
family were forced to seek shelter il

house was large double dwelling anC

A Delightful Reception.

The reception of the Methodist
church to their new pastor, last even
ing, was splendid success in every
way. First the chapel was crowded
with old and young. Mr. 5. W. Muir
ray occupied the chair of honor on the
platform. The committee on recep-
tion took their places in front Of the
platform and greeted, with the pastor,
all of the audience most cordially.
DR.. Reimensnyder was called upon TO
deliver the first words of greeting. He
paid high tribute to the Methodist
church in general and her work in the
world and then spoke IN glowing terms
of this particular congregation. He
was followed by Rev. NJ. H. Havice,
who spoke of the ministerial relations
in Milton and the noble record of this
congregation. His remarks were we'll
received. Rev. II. G. Harman, the
new pastor, then responded to the call
and spoke appreciatingly of his vel
come and the hearty greeting. He as
sured those present that he would do
his best to serve the faithfully to the
best of his ability. He spoke feeling
ly and earnestly and made very fsv-
orable impression. Mrs. Harman and
the other members of the ministerial
family, a son and daughter, joined in
the receiving with graceful manner.
Refreshments were then served to the
entire audience. Some of the town
pastors were prevented from attending
by another meeting. The reception
last evening was another evidence that
when our Methodist people undertake
anything, they do it we'll and in first
class style. Milton Standard.
