Electric Light at Ferry Landing.

The County Commissiope at their
Saturdays meeting decided to place
an electric arc light at the South Dam
willie ferry landing. This is an i'm
provement greatly needed and insures
safety to those using the ferry at
night. Quicker service can be main
tanned and danger to vehicles remov-
ed.
To place an arc light at this point
will require the erection of four poles.
The Standard Electric Light Company
will furnish the poles iiea of charge
and ask but nomina, fee for the
work. The expense of installing and
maintaining the light is to ba borne

Some Advice From Sunbury.

For SO long a period that tho mem
ory of the oldest inhabitant "runneth
not to the contrary" the principal
thoroughfare in Danville has been
known as Mill street; but since it is
being paved with brick the delighted
burghers are getting SO stuck mp about
it that they have become dissatisfied
with the old name of the street and
are talking about rechristening it,
Just hear how rhapsodically one of
the local papers speaks Of the old street
with its new brick habiliment: When
paving is completed and the eye runs
down over the cleanswept surface be-
tween the lines of trim curbing the
effect will be exceptionally fine and
Mill street will be thoroughfare
which in point of beauty will have
few parallels in any of the towns the
size of Danville.
With such view of it, it may be a
pardonable weakness on the part of the
citizens to want to drop the old pie
beian name and substitute something
more fanciful and sonorous. But if
it is not an intrusion, our advice would
be to 90 slow in this matter. There is
a good deal in name, Shakespeare to
the contrary notwithstanding, and the
associations of street nomenclature
should not be too readily discarded.
Something would be wan ting in Dam
Vile if the old historic and familiar
name of Mill street were missing.
Follow the example of Boston, where
the homely name of Milk street is re-
tained and cherished as one of it's most
prominent thoroughfares. So appar-
emily Insignificant name as Thread
needle street is the centre of the finan-
cial business of London and the local
ity of the Bank of England. The Lon
doners would not do SO profane a
thing as to change the name of that
street, nor would they give any other
appellation to Rotten Row, name
that is applied to their most fashion
able thoroughfare.
At all events, if the Danvllians
should change the name of Mill street
we hope they won't fall into the
vulgsrism of calling it Boulevard.
This dissertation may look like stick
ing our nose into other peoples bust.
ness, but we have feeling for Dan
viile.-Sunbury Item.

Are Awnings necessary

Each day the sentiment grows strong
er in favor of removing the wooden
awnings on Mill street That they are
not all absolute necessity is proven
by many neighboring towns where
they have long ago been obsolete.
The awnings, in the opinion of many,
interfere with the beauty and sym
metry of Mill street and should be tax
en- down. Some merchants who are in
the habit of making sidewalk displays
will miss them it is true but it is not
thought that they will find themselves
one penny poorer at the end Of the
year than if the awnings were left
standing.

DANVILLE TO PHILA-
DELPHIA BY TROLLEY

A charter was granted at Harrisburg
yesterday to the Danville and North
cumberland Street Railway Company

Angle, of this city, ". F. Pascon, of
Allentown,L L. P. Bane of Pittsbura. Q.
NJ. Howell, of Northumberland, j. ii.
Danner, of Easton and NJ. q. Pascoe of
Coopersburg.
This trolley line will in reality be
an extension of the Danville & Blooms
burg street railway. 1t will connect
with the Sunbury and northumberland
street railway at Northumberland
which will mean easy access to Sun
bury and doing away with the trouble
of securing a right of way to got into
tine town.
The Danville and Northumberland
company is capitalized at $50, 900 and
is made up of the majority of members
of the Danville and Bloomsbury COM
oany whose signal success in the build
ing of the latter line inspires the con.
filenre that the new line will be built
without the usual delays attending the
construction of trolley roads.
An encouraging feature of the pro-
p psrd road is the fact that it will be
one of easy construction. There will
be no heavy grades between this city
and Northumberland and no streams
that will need bridging. 1t can bo
built rapidly and will when finished
fill tho long felt want of easy access
to the towns of Sunbury and Northum-
hHrland.
Another encouraging point is the
f,tt that there will be no RAILROADS to
cross either at grade or in any other
way. This eliminates the possibility
of any delay by the question of grade
crossings.
The Sunbury and Northumberland
Company is about to equip its line
with handsome new cars, improve its
roadLed and put the road in first class
condition.
made with tho now road being built
by Hon. M. H. Kulp from Shamokin
to Sunbury. This in turn will connect
with other roads leading from Shamok-
III to Mt. Carmel and other points in
the coal region and will make it near
ly possible to 60 from Danville to
Philadelphia by trolley.
1t is also but eight miles from North
umberland to Montandon where con-
nection can be made for Williamsport.
Danville will bo II trolley center of
no little Importance. With these new
connections an immense territory will
be opened ur which will be an accom-
mediation and a convenience to thou
sands of people. Danville is admira-
bly, situated. 1t will be a central point
between the Berwick AMI Sudbury
terminals and will no doubt be great
ly benefited. The new project is in
keeping with other marked advance
ments made in the past year and will
be an incentive and an encouragement
to broaden still further the progress
sive spirit that has taken hold of our
citizens.
