Bot four hours work was done on
the river bridge. During this time the
steam concrete mixer, set up the day

out q large quantity of concrete. This
novel machine is the first of its kind
ever seen in this locality and affords a
fine object lesson to show to what ex

ployed.

NO TYPHOID
BACILLI FOUND

During the month or so past owing
to several cases of fever reported our
water supply has been regarded with
some suspicion, as it is we'll known
that the sewage of the Hospital for the
Insane drains iton the river but mile
or so above the intake at the Water
Works. All doubts, however, can now
be put to rest, as the river water has
been analyzed and so far as the ty-
phoid fever germ is concerned is found
to be pure and healthfuI.
Many persons became apprehensive
of an epidemic and they thought that
the city owed it as duty to its in
habitants to have the water anaDyzed
to the end that if pure all doubts might
be put to rest and if impure the prop
er precautions might be taken to
ward off disease.
A couple of weeks ago DR.. Stock
took trip to Baltimore and without
doubling the purity of our filtered
water, to settle all controversy he took
specimen of it along with him and
had it analyzed by the Department of
Public Safety of that city.
In letter just received by DR.. Stock
he is informed that the specimen of
water he furnished is pronounced by
the City Pathologist as good for drink
ing purposes. No typhoid bacilli we're
found.

AN UNLUCKY
LlNEMAN

George Sohley, a lineman connect
ed with the Danville and Bloomsbury
Street Railway Company, met with a
terrible fall Monday night as the re-
suit Of which it was necessary to re.
move him to the hospital for treat
ment.
Schley and a companion, it appears,
were sleeping at Richards lime kiln
near Grovauia. When the companion
awoke yesterday morning he was sur
prised to find Schley missing. He call
ed for him but received no response
Much mystified he went to a house
nearby and asked for assistance in in
stituting search.
Below the kiln Sohley was found
in an unconscious state having taken q
sheer drop of twenty-four feet. land
ing on hard rock bottom.
The man was carried under one of
the sheds connected with the lime kiln
and DR.. S. Y. Thompson of this city
was called. Schley was still in a daz-
ed or semi conscious state, although
he could occasionally be reused to con-
seriousness. In one Of these intervals
he explained that he had fallen from
the top of the kiln.
Alongside his head was bad oontu-
sion. while elsewhere about his body
were bruises of greater or less sever
ity, although singularlY enough the
man escaped broken bones.
DR.. Thompson was not clear wheth-
er Sohley's condition was due to the
terrible fall or the effects Of coal gas
inhaled from the lime kiln while
sleeping He rather thought it was
due to the latter and expected to see
him recover in short time.
The injured man was removed to
Stonges hotel where later in the day
he was seen by DR.. Phillips of Blooms
burg, at whose advice he was removed
to the Williamsport Hospital Oh the
o'clock P. 81 r. passenger train.
The two men came to the lime kiln
in the evening and finding the place
warm and pleasant lay down and were
soon asleep. The suppostion is that
during the night Schley overcome by
the gas rose to his feet and in a dazed
condition wandered along until he
came to the edge where he fell over.
The injured lineman has been es-
pecially unfortunate in his time. A
few years ago he fell from high pole
and fractured both legs just above the
ankles.

PAVING BLOCKS
BEING LAID

Agrecably to the announcement made
in our last issue the first brick was
| laid on Mill street Monday. AS was
Thoroughly appropriate, this the crown
ing feature o! tho whole process OF
paving sa, not without its spectacu-
lar feature and the first paving block
was placed in position by Miss Helen
Magill. daughter of r. ID. Magill and
q representative of one of the oldest
families of the town.
The entire forenoon was spent in
getting things in readiness. By one
O'Clock a crowd began to assemble, rs
by this time it began to be whispered
about that the beginning of the work
was to be attended with some formal
ity, although it seemed impossible to
learn who was to have the honor of
laying the first brick.
Nearly an hour was spent in putting
on the course OF sand. This in itself
was a new branch of the work and
was looked upon with interest especi-
ally when the wide "crown board"
was brought into play to plane off the
sand.
By two o'clock there were several
hundred people present, among whom
was Will G. Brown with his camera
waiting to get a snap shot of the first

two when everything was in readiness.
Up to the last moment few. indeed,
had any idea who was to lay the first
brick. although it was generally con-
ceded that il was to be woman.
All doubts were put to rest, how
ever, when Miss Helen Magill was es-
corted through the densely packed
crowd to point west OF the trolley
track on Mill street, slightly north of
Mahoning street WHARF the course of
sand began.
The young lsdy's part was soon
played She was handed brick, which
she took in her own hands and under
instruction placed 1t in the sand, where
it is to bear the burden of traffic dur
ing another and probably brighter
era of Danville's history.
The first brick in position. Miss Ma
gill gracefully retired, while a storm
of applause burst from the several
hundred people assembled. There was
something thoroughly meet in the pro-
ceedings. AS street paving is one of
the most marked improvements in
Danville's history so Miss Magill is
the great, great grand daughter of
General william Montgomery, the
founder of Danville and the great
grand daughter of Daniel Montgomery,
for whom the town was named.

Raising Cotton From the Seed.

Daniel Ross, Water street, has quite
q curiosity in the form of cotton
plant, which is in blossom and is
growing nicely.
few months ago Oscar Mellin re-
ceived a small quantity of raw cotton
by mail from friend who lives in the
co ton growing belt Oscar extracted
the seeds and presented couple of
them to Daniel Ross, who merely as
an experiment planted them.
To his surprise they sprouted and
one Of them Notwithstanding that it
was far out of its latitude began to
grow nicely. 1t is now nearly a foot
high, bearing some resemblance to a
stalk of buckwheat. 1t bears blossom
which looks good deal like dog
wood flower
Daniel is watching his plant with a
good deal of curiosity to see some sign
of cotton developing.

An Early Morning Wedding.

The marriage of Miss Jane M. Lloyd
and William J. Williams of this city
was solemnized in Christ Episcopal
Church at O'Clock yesterday morn :
ing. Rev. Edward Haughton, rector
of the church, officiating.
There were some nice floral decora-
tions, but the wedding was a very
simple affair witnessed only by small
assemablge of the more intimate friends
of the young couple.
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams left on the
Z 80 P. & R. train for trip to Phila-
delphia and New York
The bride is popular and we'll
known young lady of this city. The
groom is clerk in the local post office
and has many friends among our bust
ness people. He is organist at Christ
Episcopal church and is we'll known
in musical circles.
Returning from their wedding trip
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams will take up
their residence OIL West Market street.

Bad Hill Will Disapr ar,

One OF the most palpablc improve
ments made by the reconstruction Of
the road to Mausdale under the Act of
1903, is the cutting down of the bad
hill at the Western extremity of the
old Fair Ground.
The long cut at that point has been
sunk about three feet and it will have
10 90 down about foot deeper The
ground exGavated is being oarted just
beyond the cnt where it is used in fill
ing up the road bed.
The effect when the road is finished
will be to almost entirely abolish the
hill at that point or at least to substi-
tuto for it an easy if longer grade.
One by one the advantages of the
State Highway become apparent as
the work progresses and the method of
construction is understood

A Site For the Scale,

The weigh scales. which are to be
removed from Mill street, in all prob
ability will be installed just west of
J. B. Gearhart's store, Bloom street.
OH the disused alley recently vacated
by resolution of Council.
Every one seems glad that the old
scales are to be removed from Mill
street. At the same sime they are n
public necessity and no more suitable
and convenient site can be found for
them than the one at Mr.. Gearhart s
store, which being open at each side
will make it possible to drive on the
scales either way and to leave by a
convenient thoroughfare without any
backing around or turning
The old scales have been an institu
tion on Mill street for very many
years. Few OF our oldest residents can
remember back to time when they
were not there. The consensus of opin-
ion seems to be that they were built
early in the 40's.
The removal of the scales will take
place at very early day-probably
next week, in order to have Mill street
clear for paving at that point.

Nav Install Electric Light,

A rise in the river more or less mark
ed is looked forward to as the result
of the rain yesterday.
Nothing would be more welcome to
the ferrymen. AS things stand now it
is almost impossible to make trip
across the river without the fiat boat
getting fast upon rock and causing a
long delay. Even the naphtha launches
went out of commission yesterday ow
ing to the low water.
Unless the river takes a rise the
County Commissioners will blast one
of the large rocks which lies in the
path of the ferry and causes the most
trouble The County Commissioners
at their next meeting will also i'll all
probability decide to install electric
light at the landing on the south side.

Duties of Supervisors,

| An exchange says: As one of the ex-
cuses for not keeping the roads in
their townships in repair some super
visors plead poverty. declaring that
there is no money in their hands to
pay for the necessary work. But the
Courts have decided that this is an in
sufficient excuse. If public road is
in bad condition and the township
does not have the necessary money
with which to make repairs the law
provides that supervisors may levy
special tax to cover the contemplated
expense. This fact should be under
stood by supervisors, and make them
! more energetic in the performance of
| their duties.
Supervisors should be men who take
enough interest in their duties to keep
themselves informed upon the legal
requirements of their position. A sup.
ervisor may be handed into Court and
fined for neglecting to keep the roads
under his supervision in good repair.
as was done with one supervisor in
Blair county recently. If the super
visors were TO aoquaint themselves
with the provisions of the road laws
they would be more competent to per-
| form their duties And with the new
| interest that is being taken in good
roads movement the uninformed sup
ervisor is likely to get himself into
serious trouble.
Citizens of townships who have COM
planned for years against the bad con-
dition of the public roads should also
understand their rights under the law.
A knowledge of the law would show
them that they are not at the mercy
of the supervisors, and while the strict
enforcement of the law may cost the
taxpayers more than at present, this
extra expense will not be felt if the
roads shall be maintained in good con-
dition. 1t is likely that there will be
lively stirring up of supervisors in
all parts of the state in the near fu-
ture.

WILL REMOVE TO
PHILADELPHIA

Miss Mary J. Wetzel, Librarian a
the Thomas Beaver Free Library, ha
practically severed her connection
with that institution ami will remove
to Philadelphia.
Miss Wetzel was chosen as Librarian
when the Thomas Beaver Free Library
was first thrown open to the public
and she has been continuously il
charge until the present month wher
the resignation which she rendered
last summer went into effect.
Some formality yet remains to be
complied with before Miss Wetzel's
resignation can be accepted Mean
while she has been granted al indef
mite leave of absence By the Trustees.
Miss Wetzel has filled the difficult
and at times trying position of librar
ian most acceptably to all classes OF
patrons. Few persons are so well ad-
apted by nature for such position.
Whatever the future of the Thomas
Beaver Free Library may be its hun
dreds of patrons will always have
cause to kindly remember its first
Librarian whose signal ability and
whose courtesy of manner through SO
many years added to the general et-
ficacy of the noble institution and
made trip to the library for the ex-
change of books an errand of real
pleasure.
Miss Wetzel on retiring has appoint
ed her niece, Miss Mary A. Wetzel, as
her successor for the present. The last
named young lady has been assistant
librarian for some years past. She is
thoroughly familiar with the duties
and is we'll adapted for the position.
Miss Wetzel, the retiring librarian.
and her mother. Mrs G. S. Wetzel,
will remove to Philadelphia where
they will take up their residence with
Miss Bertha Wetzel. The two ladies
will leave Danville in a week or so.
