vile and st. Clair get their supply
from the reservoir as do number of
collieres up the valley.
Iu order to supply the boilers at
Mahanoy Plane. big force of men
worked all day Tuesday in putting a
pump on the lower side of the Frack-
vile culvert to catch the water from
the stream that formerly supplied the
abandoned Lawrence colliery, and
which is now being used in the plane
boilers. This pump was started up
Tuesday morning. The steam is gen.
Grated from the boiler of an engine,
that stands on track made for it near
the plane house.
Arrangements are being made to put
on the water trains running out to
Gordon. There is an abundant supply
in the stream running through Gordon
which is always relied upon in an en-
ergenoy. The water is hauled from
there to all points along the system
where it is required.

Attorney w. H. M. Dram, of Sha-

pointment of attorney for all the Penn
sylvania collieries in the Shamokin
vicinity.
Heretofore the legal business of the
Pennslvan railroad and collieries in
that vicinity has been looked after by
one solicitor with assistants. The chief
attorney was ex-Judge Bucher. of
Lewisburg. In Mineral Railroad and
Mining Company cases he was assisted
by Mr.. Dram, and in Union Goal Com
pany cases by ex-Judge l.. s. Walter
of Mt. Carmel. On the fir t of the
month the two separate bra hes for
conducting the legal business we're es-
tablished. and Mr.. Dram is made chief

expected he will be succeeded.

RIVER AT BERWICK
NEARLY IMPASSABLE

While the people of Danville and
Catawissa are being favored with .
substantial and free passageway across
the river, those of Berwick are having
trouble galore on their hands They
are paying dearly for some Of it, too.
The river between Neosopeck and Ber-
wick is practically impossible. The
strong efforts made at those places to
keep the ferries running has had the
effect of keeping the river at Berwick
practically open, although full of drift
ing ice in huge masses. which make ID
very dangerous for boats.
Boats. however, crossed yesterday. Al.
ter that few had the hardihood to ven-
ture out. The passenger who gets across
the river now at Berwick pays for it.
Fifty cents is the price charged by the
boatmen and it is generally conceded
that they earn the money. as it takes
from an hour to an hour and half to
battle with the ice and to thread their
way across.
A man must have urgent business
and be of strong nerve to submit to
the experience of crossing the river at
present. Not only is the long ride in
the cold great trial in itself, but at
every turn the passenger is menaced
with danger from the ice cakes which
threaten to crush the boat, and from
the falls below that are waiting to
swallow him up.
