Succeeding i'm Canada.

O. @. Miller of this city received an
interesting letter from former
townsman. Lawrence Butler, heater
who for years was connected with the
leading iron and steel industries of
this city and who now has accepted a
position as superintendent of the heat
ing department in the large steel
works at Sault st. Marie, Ontario.
The letter states that William Craig,
formerly connected with the North
Branch Steel Works holds the position
of assistant superintendent and mill
manager and is operating the plant
very successfully. Theodore Ridgway,
a former Danville boy, is head roller
on one turn and Edward Books. son Of
q. s. Books of this city has charge of
the roll turning department under Mr..
Craig. Mr. Butler states that the larR-
est days output since his connection
with the plant has been seven hunderd
tons of finished rails, eighty pounds
to the yard.
The only objectionable feature to
his new home is the cold weather as
on October 2nd the snow had fallen to
a depth of 1S inches and was still
showing and all transportation by rail
and boat was blocked. People who are
compelled to be outside have to wear
what are called eskimo suits. The
Danville boys are all we'll and prosper
ing.

Wagon Struck on Railroad.

John Patton, driving local express
wagon on Saturday afternoon. had a
startling experience on the railroad
and he and two children who were rid
ing with him had narrow escapes from
sustaining injuries OF serious or even
fatal nature.
The mishap occurred near the Dan
Vile Structural Tubing plant at the
time Mr.. Patton was hauling test
weights away from the weigh scales
set up at Bloom and Ferry streets,
where the test weights had just been
used. He was driving across the Phil
adelphia & Reading railroad tracks
where switching was being done, hav-
ing been signalled to 60 ahead But
before his wagon got clear of the
tracks a car shot down on him, having
been shunted rapidly along.
The car struck the rear of the wag-
on, breaking a wheel, but not denol-
ishing the vehicle. When the collision
occurred Clyde Patton and John Ateu,
boys who we're in the wagon, jumped
and little later Mr.. Patton jumped
as the wagon threatened 20 overturn.
All of them escaped being hurt, as did
the team. which had cleared the track.

the season between Danville and
Bloomsbury was played in Bloomsbury

the Danville team.
OF the two other tournaments play
ed this year the first was played on
the Bloomsbury Y. NJ. O. A. grounds
and was decided i'll favor of the DAN
vile team after very close and ex-
citing contest The second was play.
ed in Danville and resulted in VIC
tory for the Bloomsbury team.
In yesterday games it was decided
not to play deuce sets. The weather
was just right for good snappy game,
and both sides put up a beautiful ex-
hibition OF fine tennis playing, The
exchanges were very rapid and the
volleying was especially good. There
was more driving in this tournament
than in any preceding one.
Jennings and Watson were the first
to play, their opponents being Maize
and Carpenter. The Danville players
won in these sets by the following
scores: 6-l and SO. Gosh and CLARK

AN EXPERT WILL
COME NEXT WEEK

1.-The outlook for the completion of
the municipal electric light plant at
an early date becomes more encourag-
ing when it is understood that next
week will see the beginning of work
on the foundations of the engine and
dynamo, which will be installed in the
Water Works building.
Word has been received that an eX.
pert from Watertown, N. Y. will ar
rive here about next Monday to begin
operations, looking after the mech
anical end of tho job to insure the
placing..of bolts and templets in their
proper positions. The templets already
have been put together at the Water
Works. The foundations can be con-
structed in few days, but it will be
necessary to let the masonry set some
time before the machinery is to be
placed on it. However, even allowing
for this there is still chance of finish
ing at nearly the time desired if moth
ing unforeseen occurs to delay the pro-
gress of the work. 1t was originally
intended to have the plant ready to
operate, if at all possible, by Novem-
ber /, when the present light contract
expires.
The installation of the light plant
will eventually make considerable
change in the Water Works and also
bring about an improvement. for the
iron plates now in the room where the
electrical machinery will be installed
will have to be taken up and replaced
with a concrete and cement pavement,
which will correspond with the floor
in the other part of the building. The
hole for the foundations of the light
plant engine and dynamo has been
ready for some time. While the ex-
pert from Watertown is still in Dan
Vile the engine is expected to arrive
and likewise the dynamo, which comes
from Philadelphia. Then they proba-
bly, W ill be placed on the bed of mas
oury and set up ready to operate be-
fore the expert leaves.

b. G. WEIGH in Town

Benjamin g. Welch of Hughesville,
a former we'll known resident of Dan
vile, is spending a few days in this
city. Mr.. Welch left Danville in 1881
after having resided here twenty years.
When in this city Mr.. Welch was
actively interested in the Rough and
Ready Iron Works. For a number Of
years he was resident of Riverside
and took a great interesj in the well
fare of that Borough.
Shortly after moving to Hughesville
Mr.. Welch became prominent in the
building of the Williamsport & North
Branch railway, which connects with
the Philadelphia & Reading railway at
Halls Station.
The great development of Eagles
mere as a summer resort can also be-
attributed in large measure 10 Mr..
Welch's enterprise. He built the
Eaglesmere railway, n narrow guage
road, running from Sonestown over a
heavy grade to Eaglesmere.
Through his efforts branch of the
Chautauqua Circle was established at
Eaglesmere and it has steadily grown
in favor since its introduction seven
years ago. In 1900 Mr.. Welch formed
corporation known as the Eaglesmere
Light Company of which he is the
present general manager and treasurer.

game between the Berwick Y. M. O.
A. Reserves and the Catawissa team,
at Cstswissa. Charles Gee had his

Former Danville Boy Promoted

r. II. Curtis, who about seven years
ago went from Danville to Mt. Carmel
to work for the Prudential Insurance
Company, was so successful at Mt.
Carmel that he has been transferred to
Flint, Mich. to become superintendent
of a new district created by the Pru-
Dental Company.
Mr.. Curtis has been ranking con-
tinuously for the past several years up
with the leaders, fourth place out OF
1900 assistant superintendents in the
United States, having been held for
some time. His agents, TOO, have held
1st, 2nd and 4th position out of 10000
agents at various times. 1t has been a
marvellous record of able management.
While in Mt Carmel Mr.. Curtis won
a high place in the esteem of the geo
pie there and they regret his depart
ure. His Danville friends will be glad
to hear of his advancement.

Tourists Out in Force

Notwithstanding the fact that the
weather Sunday was not of the ideal
autumn kind, the Danville people turn
ed out in extremely large numbers to
take advantage of the first Sunday to
ride on the trolley cars.
During the whole day and until late
in the evening Bloom street was
crowded with people, many of whom
came to ride, others being there only
to view the novel sight of the trolley
in Danville. Four cars we're in COM
mission all day and were crowded on
every trip, and great many who
would have liked to ride we're unable
to do so on account of the lack of room.
1t is estimated that during the day,
at least eighteen hundred people made
the return trip from here to Fishing
Creek. On one car the fares that wer 9
rung up we're especially noted, there
being 1856. On the same car the collec-
tion of fares from Grovania to Dan
Vile amounted to 1872.

RAIN Held BACK
THE BIG FAIR

Many Danville people yesterday we're
disappointed when the rain prevented
them from attending the Bloomsbury
fair. If the weather is fair today. how
ever, nearly all of this city's populace
will move to "Bloom" temporarily,
and help swell the crowd, which should
be great one since the arrangements
for the fair have been made on scale
to insure an exhibition worth going to
see. II has been decided to continue
the fair day and run yesterdays
races today, the ones scheduled for
Thursday on Friday and the ones list.
ed for Friday on Saturday, SO that all
of the races will occur notwithstand-
ing the fact that the rain made it
necessary to give them up yesterday.
Barring the weather. all conditions
the rain yesterday certainly had bad
effect at the fair ground. The many
visitors in Bloomsbury had to take
shelter in their hotels. At the fair ev-
erything was nearly at a standstill ard
those who were on the grounds kept
under cover. The forecast calls for
fair weather today, so everyone is
hopeful that the big fair may be on in
full swing this morning.
Bloomsbury chief OF police. Wesley
Knorr, has nine assistants and they
are keeping good order. This little
word of advice is given to Danville peo-
pie, however: Remember that at Mil
ton the piokpookets were considerably
in evidence and take with you only
what money yon will absolutely need.
