Great Educational Stel

extent of million dollars, TO usec

era in that great interest for Loulsl.
ana.
Public education was the KEY
note of Governor Blanchard's in.
augural address. In it he pro.
posed the bond issue, and he struck
so powerfully the chords Of sym.
patty and favor in the minds Of
the people that the bond issue was
among the earliest Propositions
placed before the Legislature IN
form of bill. It was q matter OF
such importance that there was no
desire to rush 1t through, but, on
the contrary, 1t was given the full
est consideration and discussion.
The measure was carefully per-
fecled, aud now it has become a
law, to take effect after due pro-
mitigation, as the Constitution re-
quires. The bonds will be sold
without difficulty at favorable
rates, and it will not be long be
fore the money will be available
for the important uses for which it
IS designed.
Governor Blanchard has already
set up~a distinguished landmark
even at this early date of MS ad-.
ministratlon, and It will be hailed
as beacon tar beyond the limits
of The State. Louisiana has long
suffered from the stigma of having
relatively the largest illiterate
population IN the Union. Louisi-
ana has no reason TO be ashamed
of this unfortunate fact, because it
grew out of conditions which we've
becond control. People whose de-
liberate acts are 6lsgraceful or
criminal should be overwhelmed
with shame when they are exposed,
but whatever misfortunes are the
result of accident or other uncon-
trollable causes are TO be deplored,
but not made subjects for censure
or reproach.
Nevertheless, while extensive
illiteracy III our population is the
result Of irrisistable causes in the
beginning, 1t constitutes an evil
which it is our duty to mitigate aud
by every proper means IN
our power. Some well-intentioned
but badly advised citizens have
sought to remedy the evil by ask
ing pecunlary aid from the Federal
Government, seeming i'll their mis-
placed zeal to care little If the en-
ire public school system of the
South were by that means put I'm
Ter the control Of a sectional ma
innal ynvornmont
At a very menaclng juncture
Governor Blanchard proposed
'peclal exertions on the part of the
State in favor Of public edu cation.
HIS plans were SO practical that thew
'ound a large place in public favor,
md have been accepted, seconded,
enacted into practical and anthori-
alive realities by the General As

Thomas Tully Badly Injured

B. f. Hulsizer of Milton, was arraigu-
ed before Justice Dalton at O'Clock
yesterday afternoon to answer the
charge of assault and battery and
larceny He pleaded guilty both to
the assault and battery and larceny
and was committed to Jail to await
the action OF the grand jury.
Both the larceny and assault, il is
alleged, were committed on Tuesday
night If Mr. Tully's face is TO be
taken as evidence the assault was a
most vicious one. His left eye yester-
day was closed and his cheek below
was discolored and swollen. Above
the eye was deep cash and further
upward on the forehead was another
cut nearly as deep. He received sur
gical attention from DR.. Paules after
the assault and yesterday his face was
half concealed by baudages and plas-
ters.
Mr. Tully was badly injured and
before the Justice he told his story
with considerable effort Mr.. Tully
keeps saloon on North Mill street.
According to his account about 6
O'Clock Tuesday evening Hulsizer, who
was no stranger at his place, entered
his bar room and watching his oppor-
tunity attempted to purloin bottle
of whiskey. The landlord, however,
vas suspicious and alleges that he
caught him in the act.
He seized Hulsizer and attempted to
hold him until the police could be
notified The fellow extricated him
self, however, and turned on his cap
tor raining four heavy blows upon his
face. Hulsizer escaped from the bar
room and was not apprehended until
late at night, when he was committed
to Jail to await hearing.
Justice Dalton held HulsizeT for
court, fixing bail at $500 for assault
and battery and 500 for larceny. In
default of bail he was committed to
Jail.

Labor Day at DeWitt's Park,

One of the features of the Labor Day
picnic which Dr. Dewitt is making
arrangements for at his Riverside Park
will be two games of base ball be-
tween the Old Timer Reserves and the
Bloomsbury Y NJ. @. A. The NOM
ing game will take place at 10 O'Clock
sharp and the afternoon game at 3
O'Clock. The Old Timer Reserves have
been playing very good ball and it is
a well-known fact that there is moth
ing slow about the Bloomsbury team.
Each of the two games will possess a
full measure of interest
DIR. Dewitt on Labor Day will throw
his park open to the public as on the
Fourth of July, when so many people
found rest and recreation at that re-
sort. In addition to base ball there
will be foot races, dancing and sports
of various kinds.
DR.. DeWitt's park never presented a
more attractive appearance than at
present. The dense foliage casts cool
and refreshing shadows all around /;
the grass, which grows abundantly is
we'll trimmed and the park with its
ponds and refreshing wells holds out
an invitation which it is hard to re
sist on summer day.

STREET PAVING
IS DELAYED

Contractor d. ]. Rogers has been
delayed in street paving during the
last couple of days by the non.arrival
of curling. The small shipment which
reached Danville last week was all set
up on Saturday and Monday. Thus
far this week but little more has been
done than to trim up the bottom of
the street and get things in readiness
for the steam roller.
Yesterday afternoon another ship
ment of cuIbing was received and last
evening the stone were delivered along
the street Today the setting of curb
will be resumed and this branch of the
work will probably occupy the re-
mainder of the week.
The excavation along the two squares
on which the work is in progress Is
now practically completed and as soon
as the curbing is set the steam roller
will be put on Mr.. Rogers has pur-
chased new roller of eight tons
WGlRnJ WIllCn Cdu Ub luClcdst w ttu
tons. He stated yesterday that the
roller had passed through Harrisburg
on its way to nanville and that he
expected it to arrive at any day. Dur
ing the early part of next week there
fore, the steam roller will be at work
on Mill street
After the street is rolled the ties will
be placed in position and course OF
concrete will be applied uTon which
the brick are to be laid An immense
pile of stone crushed at Mr.. Rogers
own plant at Reifsnyde cinder tip
along with a lot of cement is piled up
near East Market and Mill streets con
venient for use in forming the first
course. The paving blocks also are
nearly all on the ground piled mp on
the sidewalks. Everything is in readi
ness for the latter stages OF the work
and when that point is reached sur
prising progress may be made. But
few hands can be used TO any advant-
age while the curb is being set, but
when that branch of the work is COM
pleted much larger force can be en-
ployed,

Old Fair Grounds as a Farm.

Liveryman Erwin Hunter has this
year raised four hundred bushels of
oats on the old fair ground adjoining
his park.
The crop was threshed out yesterday
when the yield was determined as
above stated. Mr.. MoseT with his
steam thresher was employed and did
the work very quickly, threshing just
one hundred and twenty bushels of
oats in one hour
The oats was cut and shocked some

Trolley Cars Have Arrived.

The trolley cars for the Danville and
Bloomsbury Street Railway Company,
a full description of which was given
in these columns last week, passed
through this city yesterday enroute to
Bloomsbury.
The cars were taken TO Bloomsbury
purely as a matter of convenience, the
plan being to unload them at that
place onto the tracks of the Columbia
and Montour Street Railway Company
and to bring them down over that line
to the track of the Danville q Blooms

The cars will be brought to Danville
on September 10th.

LAYING Pine in the Canal,

The ID. l.. q w. railroad company
yesterday began the laying of pipe in
the canal for the new culvert at Church
street. The pipe arrived several days
ago and yesterday morning was un-
loaded from the car and rolled to the
spot where it is needed. The pipe is
of cast iron three feet in diameter,
each joint, with one exception. being
twelve feet long
The pipe j. very uuwieidy and heavy
and is handled with difficulty. How
ever, with the facilities at hand no
difficulty is anticipated in getting the
several joints into position III the bot
tom of the canal.
The water course formed by the pipe,
eight joints in all, will be nearly one
hundred feet long. On this the ground
will be dumped until the entire area
over the canal is filled up to CORES
pond with the width of the street in
cluding sidewalks.

WORK ON BRIDGE
COMMENCED

The sub contractors VIII will build
the piers and abutments of the new
river bridge began work Tuesday
Only half a dozen men or so were en-
pIoyed during the forenoon, the work
done being limited mostly to the re-
moval of irons, &c, preparatory to
the tearing down of the two spans of
the old bridge remaining.
During an interview with Messrs.
Barry and Leonard, two members of
the contracting firm, Tuesday a rep
resentative of the AMERIC AN was
informed that the work ON the bridge,
if possible, from now on Will proceed
without any interruption. The plans
of the contractors are somewhat dis
arranged through the non-arrival of
the cranes. &C., which, 1t seems, have
gone astray. These were shipped at
Connellsville a week ago. but yester-
day their whereabouts were not known
A tracer was sent on their track and
pending their arrival at Danville
limited number of men will be kept at
work tearing down the old structure.
The contractors will build trestle
work carrying double railroad track
clear across the river just below the
bridge, which will communicate with
the Pennsy tracks by means of switch.
The proposition TO build switch in
tersecting the land of H. II. Vastine,
Hoover Bros. and j. III. Kase has been
abandoned and the switch will come
in below the bridge, branching off
from the siding below the cattle yard
and intersecting the land of W. F.
Gearhart.
Six big steam power derricks will
be installed in the river to raise the
material from the cars on the tempor-
airy trestliug, which will be built some
four feet above the water. In addition
to the six steam derricks. the plant
will contain steam concrete mixer,
which will be installed at the South
side of the river. All the modern ap-
pliances will be employed and the
work will proceed rapidly. There are
4, 400 cubic yards in the contract and
with the facilities at command 100
yards can be completed per day.
According to the terms of the con-
tract Messrs. Caldwell, Barry and
Leonard are required to have the south
ern abutment and the pier next to it
completed in 40 days. By that time
the King Bridge Company will come
on with the iron work for the super
structure. By the time the first span
is completed the sub-cortractors will
have other piers ready and titus the
two departments of the work will ad-
vance at the same rate. BY the fif-
teenth of December the sub-contractors
must be through with their work and
off the ground. According to calcula-
tion the King Bridge Company with
the iron work will be close upon the
heels of the sub-contractors during
the entire job and when the finishing
touches are put upon the last pier and
abutment the superstructure will be
nearly completed. Thus it will be
seen that prospects are fair for an early
completion of the bridge.

Omen Air Concert and a Dance.

Stoes' Band will give an open air
concert at the Court House on Friday
night, which will no doubt prove a
most delightful entertainment.
The last concert given By StOes'
Band at the weigh scales couple of
weeks ago was much enjoyed. On that
occasion, however, the musicians com
plain that they were much annoyed
and that their playing was nterfored
" ith by the crowd which pressed in
upon them, the children especially
running in among and jostling the
players. The members of the band
kindly ask that they be given room
and some attempt be made to check
unruly boys when they next attempt
to play upon the street.
Stoes' Band will give a dance at
Hunters Park on Friday evening,
September 2nd. In case of rain the
dance will be held in the armory.
a little later in the season the band
has arranged to chance of five tons OF
coal at % cents per chance. each chance
taking in the entire five tons.

Plate Glass Broken,

The large plate glass window OF
Leniger's drug store was broken by a
stone which struck it during the fire
Saturday night. The stone-or rather
the mere fragment of one-picked up
is said to have been hot, which has
given rise to the theory that it came

New Wash Pine

The Water Commissioners have men
at work digging up the wash pipe
at the rear of the Water Works, which
are used to drain off the water used in
washing the filter tubs.
The river bank at this point has
moved slightly since last winter,
which has caused the terra Gotta pipe
used to spread apart The old pipe
will be thrown out and to prevent a
repetition of the trouble iron pipe will
be substituted. The work will be
finished in day or so.
