Will RUN In
THIRTY DAYS

That Danville & Bloomsbury trolley
cars will run under the Philadelphia
& Reading railway tracks and up Mill
street in this city as far as the Della
ware, Lack awanna g. Western crossing
by the end of thirty days is now the
expectation, the realization OF which
it goes without saying will greatly
please all Danville citizens.
Yesterday in all there were about a
half hundred men at work on the site
of the proposed ga" street undergrade
crossing, of whom half we're Philadel.
phia s. Reading employees engaged in
putting stringers under the tracks and
the other half laborers in the employ
Of Contractor Rogers. He has crew
at work exoavating ou either side OF
the railroad. The progress of opera
tions will be facilitated by the ar
rangement that has been made for car.
ing for the earth that is removed. The
railroad people will permit the CON-
tractor to place it right near the scene
of work on the railroad property.
The trolley track laying was being
hustled yesterday by two crews, one
east of Church street on Walnut street
being engaged in exoavatinR and one
near Bloom street placing the track in
condition for use.

Home After Long Absence.

Mrs. John l.. Evans and daughter
Marguerite, on Saturday returned to
Danville, their home city, after long
sojourn i'll strange land, or rather in
several distant parts of the country.
for they have travelled considerably
during their absence of about ten
months. Mr. Evans left here year
ago and his wife and daughter Joined
him last January at Albuquerque, New
Mexico, where they TOOK up their resi-.
dence in the hope of Mr.. Evans there
recovering his health. Three months
ago they went to Colorado Springs,
where Mr.. Evans was given very ben.
eficial treatment. which now he is re-
ceiving at Denver. His physician
states that at the end of six weeks he
may be able to return to his home.
On their way back to Danville Mrs.
Evans and her daughter visited the
st. Louis Exposition. They were
greatly pleased to get home. Life in
New Mexico, dry and sandy, was not
to their liking. They. however, en-
joyed Colorado Springs. II the health
of Mr.. Evans continues to grow better
and he gets home as expected he will
arrive at about Christmas time His
homecoming after so long an absence
will doubtless be happy one.

Anxiety Over Bridge rlatter.

The question as to whether the new
river bridge could be used even il COM
pleted this winter is causing some
speculation because of the fact that
patent block flooring is to be used and
could not be laid in cold weather. 1t
is understood, however. that there
will be no trouble along this line, for
il the regular flooring can not be put
in place as soon as the bridge is COM
pleted temporary plank floor will
serve during the cold weather.
Everybody is hoping more than ever
now for the speedy completion of the
bridge, since travel on the ferry is al
ready becoming very unpleasant be-
cause of the cold. The river is low
and will be shallow most of the time
during the winter, except in times of
occasional freshets. As result of
the low water the ferry can not get
near the south shore andteams have to
ford a quite long distance. This is
especially hard on horses. The
progress of the Households Construo.
tion Company In ere ling the super
structure Of the bridge will be watch
ed with great interest, not to say an
xiety.

State Grange r1eeting.

or great Importance to the patrons
and farmers of Pennsylvania is the
coming State Grange meeting to be
held in the City of Erie, December
18th to 18th. 1t promises to be one Of
the largest and most enthusiastic State
Grange meetings ever held. If the
plodding farmer, who has all his life
never looked beyond his farm and the
narrow limits of his little community
could spend at least day in this
meeting he would get such revelation
of the dignity of his calling and the
possibilities before the Amer loan farm
er as would be revelation to him.
Why should not every one of the more
than 300, 900 farms of the State be rep
resented there? What respect would
be paid to the utteranoes of such a
body!

being overcome. Before the arrival Of

liant service and with the aid of gar
den hose extinguished the fire.
The fire was in the side of the house
occupied by Charles Shears. How it
originated is not known. The clothing
on bed was destroyed and the bed
was ruined. The excitement attend
ing the fire was lively and many things
were carried out of the side of the

TELEPHONES
''''' '''''F FOR COUNTRY

O. v. Amerman. ESQ.,. has just re.
turned from the st. Louis Exposition
and visit in southern Illinois. He
became greatly interested d.while in Ill
iDois in the systems Of rural teie-
phone lines that have been extensive,
ly established there and which are
proving Of untold value to the farmers.
He was impressed with the matter to
such an extent that he made little
study of the situation there in COM
parison with the situation in this Sec
tion and as result he has decided to
work up the rural telephone business
here il given any encouragement.
Pettijohn, Pitman & Company have
put in hundreds Of phones in south
ern Illinois and Mr.. Pettijohn is now
interested in the situation in this
county as the result Of that Mr.. Am
rman told him. and would be willing
to come here to promote lines from
farm to farm all through this section
il he we're given the assurance that
the movement could be successfully
carried out. His firm is one that has
had much experience in this line of
work and has been very successful.
These lines are conducted by the farm.
ers themselves, who form mutual COM
panies and get their telephone service
at extremely low rates.
Mr.. Amerman is confident that the
establishment Of rural telephone sys-
TENS in this part of the State would
be q great boon for the farmers. Since
he came home the Illinois firm has
written inquiring the price of poles,
and so on and expressing q desire to
open up this territory. Mr.. Amerman
will broaoh the subject to some of the
farmers Of his acquaintance and wait
to hear from any who may be interest
ed. II sufficient interest is aroused he
will take active steps towards the
formation OF the rural systems here.
