ANOTHER new
INDUSTRY

Judging by developments Of the last
couple of days it does not seem unlike
ly that Danville may have another
shoe factory in the very near future
employing much larger number Of
men and making altogether another
line of goods.
A gentleman prominent among shoe
manufacturers and representing al old
and we'll established line of foot wear
paid this city visit Thursday for the
purpose of looking over the ground
with the view of establishing branch
factory here. The gentleman spent
the day with J. H. Goeser, President,
and Sam A. Mccoy, Secretary of the
Board of Trade, and gained all the in
formation he desired as to the advant-
ages of the town as a manufacturing
site and what inducements the Board
of Trade was able to hold out for new
industries. He expressed himself as
immensely we'll pleased with the town
and the opportunities that here pres
ent themselves for the business which
he represents.
The gentleman is interested in the
manufacture of ladies' and Misses
shoes Of fine quality. The goods are
carried in stock by at least some OF our
Danville dealers and they prove a
ready seller. The factory proposed
will employ 100 to l75 hands.
The gentlemen was not prepared yes
terday to make proposition to the
Board of Trade. Guided by the infor-
nation obtained through the visit the
shoe manufacturing firm will come to
some conclusion as to terms and it
will not be long before the Board of
Trade will hear from them.
Our Board OF Trade may be relic d
upon to 60 to reasonable limit in en-
couraging the firm to establish branch
in this city. Through such efforts as
the town WAS able to extend the Stock
ing factory, now large and thriving
industry. was established. The same
assistance awaits the shoe factory or
any other profitable industry which
wishes to locate here.

Crocodile Shears a Fine Sncoess

1
The immense crocodile shears recent
ly installed at the Reading Iron Works
was given a trial Friday morning
aud it was found to work very nicely
The immense mechanism was un-
loaded at the works last fall, but ii
was not placed upon foundation and
equipped for work until within a week
or so past.
The big shears is installed just out.
side the mill at the northeast corner.
where it will eventually be covered
with a roof. 1t is equipped with its
own engine OF sixteen horse power and
is designed for the heaviest kind of
work, it being guaranteed to cut a
steel billet six by six inches.
When tested yesterday billet six by
four inches was placed in its iron jaws
when without halt or jar the pond
erous mechanism cut the thick billet
in two.
There is no other shears about the
big plant that will cut iron OF such
dimensions. A great deal of improved
machinery has been installed at the
Reading Iron Works during the pas
year, prominent in the lot being q
large guillotine shears which is in
tended for cutting iron and steel plate.

SAILOR BOYS
EXPERIENCE

Norman Hostelley, sailor boy. is
visiting his father, A. E. Hostelley
of this city.
Norman spent his early boyhood at
here about four years ago. One year
ago last February he enlisted in the
Navy and since then rs may be in
ferred his life has been an adventu-
rous one.
On board the historic Hartford he
was cruising about the West In
dies during last winter. A great
deal of the time was put in about San
Domingo, where owing to the turbul-
ent state of affairs on the island the
presence of the Hartford was needed
to protect American vessels.
The young sailor says he finds life in
the navy very pleasant and not as
arduous as many persons suppose il to
be. The apprentices assist in coaling
the vessel and this is probably the
hardest work that the boys are obliged
to take part in. The opportunities for
physical development are fine. In TAX
ing their lessons in practical seaman
ship the boys are obliged to go aloft
whenever required and thus they de-
velop all the fearlessness and hardi-
hood, which belongs to the sailors
makeup.
The boys ale given lessons in handl-
ing the great guns and thus have an
opportunity of becoming expert gun
ners and of making their services ex-
oeedingly valuable to Uncle Sam. Add
to this the constant change of scene
and the opportunities for sight seeing
in remote parts of the world and it
will be seen that whatever there may
be arduous and unpleasant in the Navy
there is on the other hand plenty to
recommend it to wide awake ambi-
tious boy.
Mr.. Hostelley arrived in this city on
Saturday afternoon. He will spend a
brief furlough with his father here,
after which he will report at the New
York Navy Yard.

SECOND PENNA
VOLUNTEERS

The history of the Second Pennsyl-
vania Volunteers Arti llery. in which
local survivors of the war have tax
en- such a keen interest, is now be-
ing issued from the press and copies
are daily expected IN this city. The
history was written by George W.
Ward, Secretary of the Survivors As
sociation.
The Second Pennsylvania Volunteers
were very intimately associated with
MontouI county, two Of its Colanels
toward the close of the war being from
Montour, while battery + was largely
recruited from Danville aud vicinity,
and contained on its roster the follow
ing soldiers we'll known at the pres
ent day: J. P. Bare, Orderly Serge
ant r. W. Eggert, bugler; John Nc
Clure, Clarence Price. Daniel Smith,
John Marshall, and George Robson.
Others in the company now deceased,
but we'll remembered are: Adam
Grantz. Jacob s. Hendrickson. and
Charles Maths, the latter. Corporal.
One OF the Colonels was William NJ.
Mcclure of Danville. When he resigned
in 1854 Colonel Samuel Strawbridge of
Liberty township, took command. The
latter was brother Of the late Dr.. J.
d. Straw bridge, who was Chief Sur
geon of the 18th Army Corps.
The Second Pennsylvania Artillery
was in the battle of the Wilderness
and took part in the memorable siege
of Petersburg and Richmond In
storming Fort Harris, later known as
Fort Burnham, the regiment lost 200
men in killed, wounded and missing
1t was during this engagement that
the late DR.. Strawbridge was taken
prisoner preceding his long term Of
imprisonment in Libby prison. A cur
ious incident connected with this bat
tie is related by the Danville surviv :
ors. Colonel Strswbridge realizing
that the raei uent was up against des-
perate chanc before the engagement
gave liz e nd watch and several hun
drei dollars in cash to his brother, DR..
Stray wbfidg". for safe keeping. Col
onel SIrawtridge, however. happened
to make his escape. although in the
midst of perfect hail of bullets,
while his brother was the very one to
fall into the hands of the South. 1t
is hardly necessary to add that the
gold watch and the money were lost,
as the first thing done by the Johnnies
was to rob the prisoners of every cents
worth Of valuables they possessed.
Episodes ike these will all be fully
treated in the new history and is is
said that several Dauville men come
in for pretty prominent mention.

A corporation of Christian gentle

formed with the design of securing
the Silver Bay Hotel property on Lake
George, which was equipped at cost
of $l4n 600, and is one of the most pop

tel properties on the lake. A very low
Erice has been named on the property,
which will enable this corporation to
put at the disposal of members of the
Young Mems Christian Association
and OF other organizations in the East
and Canada one of the most attractive
and popular summer vacation resorts.

miles of mountain trails.
This is no new business for the Y.

Quoted camps and summer headquart-
ers, although this hotel will be the
largest affair of the kind in the coun-
try. Last year the Association had
nearly 5000 men and boys in its 200
camps and vacation resorts throughout
North America. Western men have
met at Lake Geneva at similar place
to Silver Bay for seventeen years, with
increasing success and popularity. This

| to September and boys confer
enoe August 80 to September f. Last
year there were 200 delegates from
seventeen Associations from nineteen
states and provinces at the boys meet

taking to make money, but to provide
the best possible vacation resort at
cost. The object is in accord with the
Associations purpose of providing
things clean, wholesome and popular
for young men in their leisure time
This vacation resort is among the very

A Merry Ploughing Bee.

A pleasant episode of farm life occur
red in West Hemlock township Thurs-
day, which we'll illustrates the gener-
osity and the neighborly and fraternal
| impulses which move rural people
| and help to make life in the country
| agreeable.
.Oharles Ploch, one of the farmers, h as
been very unfortunate with hi. horses.
Last fall one OF them took sio' and
died and this spring he lost another
valuable horse in the same way.
He still had team remaining, how
over, but about the time the weather
became fit for ploughing the two re-
naming horses were taken sick and
they are still unfit for work.
The natural consequences of this was
that Mr.. Ploch got very much behind
with his farm work. While his neigh
bors had their ploughing done and
probably their oats sowed, Mr. Ploch
had not turned a furrow. He was in
danger of losing the seasons crop when
his neighbors took the matter in hand
and decided to come to his rescue. On
Thursday eighteen OF the farmers liv-
ing near. with horses plows, etc, as
sembled at Mr.. Ploch' and put i'll the
entire day in his fields The result
was that the belated farmer was given
a fine lift with his ploughiug and is
now nearly as far on with his work rs
anybody. while those who participated
IN the rloughing bee had one OF the
times of the season.
