Retaining Wall May be Built.

AT special meeting of Council held
last evening the Water Commissioners
were empowered to have plans and
specifications drawn up for the propos-
ed retaining wall at the Water Works
so that the cost of its erection can be
ascertained. The plans are to be made
by the Borough Engineer and they
will be submitted to Council at its
next regular meeting
The retaining wall is considered ?
necessity by the Water Commissioners
as the bank east of the Water Works
is being washed ont more and more
each year and it is claimed that it
would not be a great while before its
erection would be imperative.
To build it now is considered an
economy as it can be done in conjunc-
tion with the wing wall of tho abut-
ment of the new river bridge. 1t
would in reality be n continuation OF
this wing wall and could be made neat
and trim in appearance.
Several members of Council along
with the Water Commissioners visited
the site early last evening and went
over the situation thoroughly. The
subject was exhaustively discussed at
the special meeting of Council and
the foregoing plan decided upon.
Councilmen Davis, Boyer, Reifsnyd-
er, Vastine. Goeser, Fenstermacher
and Dietrich and Water Commission
ers Gross, German and Rogers were
in attendance at the meeting.

A Curious Resemblance.

J. +. Reeves, a we'll known resident
of Bloomsbury, was the recipient of
nearly hundred kilograms yesterday
from newspapers all over the country,
inquiring as to his identity withl j.
edward Reeves, a crank who appear
ed at Oyster Bay on Tuesday saying
he had come from heaven in an auto
mobile with message for the Presi-
dent.
The crank in his more rational mo-
ments claimed that he at one time liv-
ed in Baltimore and as the only j. E.
Reeves that the Baltimore officials
could find was the J. E. Reeves who
had moved from that city to Blooms
burg three years ago.
This led to the many kilograms sent
to Reeves yesterday. He stated that
not only had he not been to Oyster
Bay on Tuesday but that the only trip
he had taken in two years was on the
18th of last June when he and Miss
Grace Dawson journeyed to Danville
where they were married.
The life of the crank as told by the
Philadelphia papers bears a remark
able resemblance to the life of Mr..
Reeves at Bloomsbury. He is, how.
ever, good citizen, sane of mind and
sound of body and he is much chagrin-
ed and annoyed at the unfortunate cir
cumstance connecting him with the
sensational incident.

Thrown From a Buggy.

Mrs. George Edmondson of this city,
while driving to the Edmonsdson
farm, Cooper township, Monday
morning. was thrown from her buggy
sustaining three fractured ribs on the
right side and severe bruises about the
body.
Mrs. Edmondson, in company with
George Literer, an employe at the
farm, left Danville about 6 :30a a. III.
When but short distance from the
farm house, her buggy collided with
heavy road wagon and both occu-
pants of the carriage were thrown out.
Literer was thrown onto the wagon
and escaped unhurt Mrs. Edmondson
pitched forward and fell heavily un-
der the horse which fortunately stop
ped Immediately.
Mrs. Edmondson, though suffering
intense pain, got into the buggy again
aud unaccompanied drove rapidly
homeward. Upon her arrival here DR..
Curry was summoned, who found that
three ribs had been fractured.
The doctor was unable to determine
last evening whether MIS-. Edmondson
had sustained internal injuries or not
She was suffering much pain and was
quite i'll from the effects of the shock.

Discontinue Publication.

Owing to factional disturbances i'll
the Senior Glass the High School pub
lioation, "Orange and Purple" has
been discontinued.
The "Orange and Purple" during
it's brief life of two years was singu.
larly successful not only in finanoi-
al way, but also as an agency for de-
veloping taste for composition and
bringing out the latent talents OF the
pupils. 1t was with a great deal of
regret, therefore, that Principal j. O.
Carey was obliged to discontinue its
publication.
That it may bo revived in the future
is not beoynd the range of probability
and it is a contamination much to be
wished now that the value of such a
publication in the High School has
been demonstrated in such signal
way.

Puddle Mill Will Resume.

Despite the persistent rumors that
Messrs. Howe and Samuels had given
up their lease OIL the puddle mill at
the Structural Tubing Works and
would discontinue its operation, it was
authoritatively learned yesterday that
such was not the case and that the
plant would again be operated early
in October.
This puddle mill when working tull
gives employment to about so men and
until recently has been operated stead
lily. Like many other plants during
the past summer it has felt the depres-
sion in the iron market and the plant
was shut down until business condi-
tions warranted operation.
The former employees will he given
the preference when the mill resumes
and it is not unlikely that one or more
additional furnaces will be built.

The work of remodeling the old grist
mill on Church street is being pushed
rapidly forward and in few days the
building will be ready for the maohin.
cry of the Mosaic Woodworking Com
pany.
Though the building presents rather
rough exterior, the interior is found
to be admirably adapted for manu-.
featuring the patent flooring. There
are three floors besides roomy base
ment. These have all been thorough
ly renovated, new flooring put down
and all the weakspots made firm aDd
strong. The old windows have been
enlarged and several new ones out
through the stone work affordIng
plenty of light.
The work of removing seven large
mill stones will be completed today.
This proves laborious task, as the
stones are of a primitive pattern and
are extremely heavy.
The engine and boiler will be placed
in position in few days. The mach
inery will follow sometime later. This
machinery, part of which is being
built at the Curry 81 Vannan machine
shops. is of a modern pattern and was
especially designed for use at this
plant.
Contractor Robert Cornelison is in
charge of the repairs ON the building.

AN UNLUCKY
BRIDGE EMPLOYE

Frank Wilson of Riverside, who has
been employed in the dismantling of
the remaining spans of the river bridge
met with an accident ON Saturday that
nearly cost him his life. AS it is he
lies in a serious condition at the Mary
Packer Hospital at Sunbury, having
lost his right arm and suffering from
bad cuts and contusions all over his
body.
On Saturday afternoon Mr.. Wilson
was assisting in the removal of the
false work that had been used under
the second span of the bridge during
its removal. Three "bents" or up
rights were still standing and Wilson
clambered out on the second one in
order to knock the timbers loose join
ing the first and second "bents" to-
gether. AS he accomplished this. the
false work collapsed, throwing him
with crushing force on the large stones
surrounding tho pier. The fall was
about twenty feet and he struck the
stones on his right side.
Wilson was picked up in a semi-con-
sciou condition and carried to the Gill
laspy House aud Drs. Newbaker and
Stock were called. Upon examination
the physicians found the man badly
hurt and decided at once to remove
him to the hospital. The injuries con-
sisted of compound fracture of the
right arm at the elbow joint. an eX-
tensive lacerated right f0roarm,a IA con-
fusion of the tissues in the right arm
and deep cut three inches in length
on the back of the head.
Everything possible was done to re-
lieve the sufferer and hasty prepara-
tions were made for tho journey to
Sunbury. He was placed OF cot and
carried to the river. The cot was plac-
ed in Daniel Ross boat and towed
across the stream by one of the naph
tina launches. Dr. Newbaker accom-
panied him to Sunbury on the 4 80
Pennsylvania train aud Immediately
upon arrival at the hospital it was de-
cided to amputate the arm above the
elbow, the operation taking place at
eight O'Clock Saturday night.
Despite the terrible injuries it is
thought that Mr.. Wilson will recover,
the last reports from the hospital be-
ing to the effect that he was resting
quite easily under the circumstances.
Mr. Wilson with his wife resides in
Riverside.

Sober's Grove Interest State,

There is in course of preparation by
ths Department of Agriculture bull
letln which will be styled Chestnut
Culture in Pennsylvania or the Sober
Method of Propagating the Paragon
Chestnut.
The bulletin is being prepared at the
request of Secretary of Agriculture
Critchfield, who after visiting O. K.
Sober's large chestnut groves in Irish
Valley, near Shamokin, conceived the
possibility of turning the unproductive
portions of the state, particularly the
mountainous portions, into permanent
and profitable usefulness by reolaiming
such land and introducing modern
chestnuts.
The author of the bulletin is Prof
essor Nelson f. Davis, instructor of
Zoology and Biology at Buoknell Un-
iversity, and it will be edited by Oliv-
er D. Shock. assistant Dairy and Food
Commissioner. The bulletin will be
fully illustrated by half.tone plates of
the various phases and scenes in sue.
cessful chestnut culture. 1t will be
ready for distribution in the course of
several weeks.
Mr.. Sober is cousin of Aaron Sob
er, East Front street, and is we'll
known in Danville, being a frequ-
ent visitor here. He is an enthusiast
in the chestnut raising line and his
venture is being watched with great
interest everywhere. A number of
Danville people have visited Mr.. Sob.
er's chestnut groves.

BIG FIRE
AT MAUSDALE

A large barn belonging TO william
S. Lawrence was totally destroyed by
fire early yesterday morning. A valu-
able horse was burned to death and
but little of the contents of the build
ing were saved. Mr.. Lawrence in en-.
deavoring to secure the horse was ov.
ercome By the heat and smoke and but
for the assistance of William Reeser, a
neighbor. would have lost his life.
The fire was discovered at 2 o'clock
by the crew of Philadelphia & Read
ing engine, who Immediately sounded
an alarm. William Reeser.a pumpman
at the railroad tank at Mausdale re-
sponded at once and quickly aroused
Mr.. Lawrence who was sleeping sound
ly.
By the time Mr.. Lawrence reached
the barn the fire had made such rapid
Roadway that nothing could be done
to save the building.
Four horses were quartered in the
barn and Mr.. Lawrence at once set
about the work of rescuing them. He
made three successful trips into the
building, each time leading out a
frantic animal. Though the lower
part of the barn was on fire by this
time and the interior filled with smoke
Mr.. Lawrence attempted to rescue the
fourth horse. Before it was possible to
loosen the halter the animal suocumb-
ed to the intense heat and fell to the
ground carrying Mr.. Lawrence with
him. The man was in such all ex-
hausted condition by this time that he
was unable to regain his feet In
second, however, Mr.. Reeser rushed
into the burning building and carried
him to place of safety.
Mr.. Lawrence was painfully burned
about the face.hi arms and hands be-
ing also badly scorohed. He was con-
fined to his home yesterday and was
suffering very much.
The barn was we'll stocked with hay
and grain all of which fell prey to
the flames. Two sleighs, ten sets of
harness and many other articles were
burned and the loss will be over a
thousand dollars. There is but a
small insurance.
Mr.. Lawrence is of the opiuion that
the fire was of incendiary origin, though
he can ascribe no reason for so exc
cradle an act. His son Arthur had clos
ed the barn at six o'clock Tuesday
evening and at that time everything
seemed to be all right When the fire
was discovered the barn door was
found to be wide open indicating that
some one had been in the building and
applied the match.
Mr.. Lawrence will rebuild as soon
as possible.

D. |. & W. OFFICIALS
VISIT DANVlLLE

The appearance of number of D..
L. g. W. officials in this city yester-
day coupled with corps of D. l.. &
W. civil engineers operating on Mill
street made excitement run high and
the subject of "grade crossing" was
heard everywhere.
The party arrived in special car
about II. 30 a. m. and took dinner at
the Montour House. They left at l. 30
p. IN. for Northumberland and return
ing passed through Danville at 3. As ell
tie for Scranton. As far as could
be learned the visit of the party which
included E. NJ. Rine. superintendent
of the Bloomsbury division, and Chief
Dispatcher ]. II. Smith. was merely
one of inspection and had no bearing
on the grade crossing situation.
The engineering corps, under the
direction of M. H. Dowdy began op-
erations on Mill street shortly after
dinner. The survey was made for the
purpose of obtaining map showing
grades and locations between the cul-
vert and the railroad crossing. One
of the engineers stated "that owing to
the company being averse to grade
crossings it wished to secure map for
reference.
Nothing definite could be learned
yesterday in regard to the attitude of
the company but it is hoped that the
prevailing sentiment would have some
bearing in favor of the crossing.
A rumor circulated about town that
the trolley company would lay no more
rails ON Mill street until tho grade
crossing question was settled proved
to be without foundation. Contractor
d. J. Rogers stated that the rails
would be pat down from the south
side of the culvert to the railroad
crossing as soon as the street was in
readiness.
1T was rumored yesterday that one
of the railroad officials had said that
the courts would hardly decide in fav-
or of grade crossing as thousands of
dollars were being spent each year to
abolish those that did exist and that a
grade crossing at Mill street could be
avoided by going overhead.
The idea of trestling running along
Mill street from the culvert to Bloom
street is absurd and not to he thought
of and it is safe to say that there is
not ii resident to be found in Danville
who would favor it. Not only would
it depreciate the value of property but
it would be unsightly no matter how
well it was built.
