Undergrade at "a" Street.

Nothing has been said for soma time
concerning the proposed undergrade
crossing at A street. through which
the Dauville 81 Bloomsbury trolley
track will run and thus get by the
Philadelphia g. Reading railroad track.
The matter is not being neglected,
however, and in a very short time ex-
tensive operations will be under way
and will be pushed rapidly to compile
tion. The job Of excavating, putting
in a system Of braces and erecting the
railroad bridge will not be q small
one. bat when the work is under way
it will be hustled right along by the
railroad people.
The trolley people yesterday began
activities by delivering rails on A
delphis & Reading railroad. They
placed them the entire distance on
this stretch and in the afternoon q
team was engaged in hauling rails on
Walnut street, from the railroad at the
point where the crossing from A street
will be cut through the embsnkment.
to Bloom street.
The Philadelphia & Reading also
has done little work leading up to
the big job that soon will be started.
Yesterday a large amount of lumber
and heavy timbers that will be used
were unlosded on the side of the track

and serviceable walk of 1t and the
oinder will do service throughout the

be done to make il possible to pave be-
tween the rails of the d. L. & W.
track A Sunday probably will be
taken for the work In order not to in

THE LOSSES In
BARN FIRES

There was nothing but praise for the
Dsnville firemen Tuesday, Good
Will, Continental, Friendship and
Washington boys coming in for equal
shares of commendstion for excellent
work at the barn fire of Monday night.
Everybody recognized what heroic
service the volunteer fire fighters rend-
cred, and it was a common remark that
no paid fire department could more sue
oessfully have coped with the difficult
situation. The Water Works men also
were commended for their share in the
good work in getting great force back
OF the streams.
It was more apparent than ever yes
terday how narrowly a terrible con-
fiagration. one that would have been
the worst in the city's history, was
averted. Not only Market street
houses, but Front and Mill street resi-
dences were in imminent danger Of
getting aire. Smoke arose from the
rear of several residences that were
scorched by the intense heat. 1t was
only the untiring and skilful endeav-
ors OF the firemen that saved the block
from complete destruction and the ap-
probation of their hard labor is gener-
al. People residing in the fire district
provided coffee for the wet. tired men
when the dying out of the flames gave
them a chance to partaks of refresh
ment.
The burned barns certainly looked
bad Tuesday. Ruined rigs that had
been run out while still flaming in
parts and the flames then beaten out.
were in evidence at numerous places
in the vicinity of the fire. The alley
was dismal sight. All day teams
were hauling away the debris in an
effort to get the place cleared up quick
ly.
The losses that we're sustained are
here given estimated ss closely as il is
possible to give them:

Fred Raymond's famous comedy
THE Missouri Girl" has been seen so
frequently in Danville that the major

with "Zeke" and Daisy and the
other characters of THIS remarkably
successful play The company this
season is said to be even stronger than
the one here two years ago, being
headed OF course by Miss Sadie Ray

Logansport (Indiana) Journal of a re-

none Of its attractive features since its
last appearance here aud il gave the
best of satisfaction. This was the fifth
appearance of the play in this city but
it never grows old and always draws a
good house" A Sharon, pa } paper
says: The company is the strongest
that ever presented the popular come
dy and the speoialties are much better
than in previous appearances here. "
The press in every city visited en-
dorses this play and there is little
question but that it is the best rcpres-

Attendance at Rural Schools.

1t is pretty hard to enforce the
school law as regards attendance in
the rural districts just now. There is
an abundance of corn to hu,k and 9th

winter and scarcity of hands the boys
are very much in demand. The school
law applies t1 tie country as well as
to town. The truant officer, whose

seems has not as yet found his way in

On Saturday the Sunbury foot ball
team came to this city with tue inten-

cred to the Danville team a week ago.
But the local gridirop warriors had
profited by the lessons of that previous
game, so that tho team that lined up
for Danville on Saturday was better
in nearly every way than the one on
which Is points had been scored a
week before.
The Danville team played good foot
ball, but had to contend with the
heavier weight of their opponents,
which no doubt accounts for the fail
ure to score. The ball for the greater
part Of the 30 minutes of play was in
Sunbury's territory. The game, from
